This subreddit is no longer being updated by me. If you want spoilers then go keep an eye on this YT channel until they decide to quit too or EA DMCAs it to death.

This subreddit was last fully updated with the 1839 update (minus Cannaregio Venice and San Polo Venice because they are ghost buildings I couldn't get). If you wish to take over and carry this project forward then contact the mods

Rambling, no need to keep reading ↓↓↓

Contest of Mayors gave you 6 free buildings each season once upon a time. Now we are down to 2 free buildings per season.

If you paid for the Mayor's Pass you used to get 10 buildings. Now for the same price you get 6 buildings and other rewards are vastly reduced. 1,400 simcash reward for example of reduced awards, twice over 12 weeks would be 2,800 simcash. Now the 550 simcash 3 times over 12 weeks would be 1,650 which is less than the 2,800 AND requires more work to get!

For war it use to be possible to earn 9 chests (3 bronze, 3 silver, 3 gold) for 22k points every war in Arena 1 for free. For 132,000 war points over 2 weeks and 6 wars you got 54 chests (18 bronze, 18 silver, 18 gold). Many of those chests had war cards since boosters are not given as rewards in A1.

Now? 18 chests and 34 card reward slots for 2 weeks, but you have to pay money for all 3 Vu Pass tiers every 2 weeks. Yeah that is right, 3 cash transactions every two weeks just for war! Also you have to do over 5 times the work as 660,000 war points will not get you to the end of the Vu Pass.

Remember Valentines, Easter, summer beach, Diwali, midsummer festival, summer sports and camping, and Halloween? Most of those had buildings you could purchase for keys or simcash but EA killed it. Easter for example of what used to be vs. the single Easter building EA so kindly allowed us to get this year

• Valentines? Same treatment as Easter
• Summer beach, sports, camping? Killed
• Midsummer festival? Killed
