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. Commercial and industrial buildings produce items, and residential zones require them in order to upgrade to a higher density. There is no zoning feature in SimCity: BuildIt. The game starts with 25,000 simoleons and 50 SimCash on hand. 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 is freemium (free-to-play with intrusive advertisements and in-app purchases). Players can connect and compete with other users for more connected gameplay. This game allows users to solve real-life situations like fire, sewage, pollution, and traffic and helps in dealing with problems that the public faces. It is a free simulation game in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.
The game is part of the SimCity franchise, and is available for download on iOS, Android and the Amazon app stores. Developed by TrackTwenty and published by Electronic Arts, it was launched in late 2014. SimCity: BuildIt is a city-building simulation mobile game.
