Gameplay

The game is freemium (free-to-play with intrusive advertisements and in-app purchases). It utilizes music and graphics similar to the 2013 SimCity game, although it is slightly down scaled in order to fit in with the iOS and Android devices' graphic capabilities. The game starts with 25,000 simoleons and 50 SimCash on hand. There is no zoning feature in SimCity: BuildIt. Instead, buildings are moved manually. Commercial and industrial buildings produce items, and residential zones require them in order to upgrade to a higher density. Factories can also be upgraded, although it requires demolishing the original building when it is not producing anything, then replacing it with a new one.

There are also special buildings based on Season tournaments; and based on holidays such as Christmas, New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, and Thanksgiving that can be placed in the city. Each season plays every three months, giving the categories of the types of buildings every season for a limited time such as movie studio buildings, amusement park buildings, wild west buildings, special landmark buildings, extra university buildings, parade buildings, and buildings based on real world promotional events such as the promotion of the Lays Max potato chips. Once players have used all the city space available, players can only store or swap these buildings. The game has five additional regions that players can switch to and develop. This extends the gameplay to provide varied new land, buildings, and materials and lets players also use the season buildings.

Players can only build two-lane roads using the build tool. Players cannot manually build higher-capacity roads; they must upgrade them instead. Initially, only two, four and six-lane roads are available at launch; three more road types (avenues, boulevards, and streetcar avenues) were introduced in the Disasters update.

The Disasters update allows Players to launch disasters (meteor collisions, earthquakes, etc.) on their own city. Each disaster has three levels players can unlock. Players unlock these levels by launching the disasters. Players can earn gold keys this way.

Users play as the mayor of their city, and make choices in order to keep their townspeople happy. When players do this, players can earn taxes from the City Hall. When players have more people, players earn more taxes ("Simoleons"). Users can trade, chat, and join clubs with others players for connected online gameplay.

The 5 Regions available are the following:[3]
