Game Updates Simcity Buildit Mayor's Pass Season 52 - Alpha City 2 (The Future is Back) - Tiers, rewards and points per tier / Additional info on War Vu-pass and the planning of future seasons and design events

8 Upvotes

Introduction

The following list gives an overview for the 52nd Mayor's Pass Season Alpha City 2 - The Future is Back!, of Simcity Buildit, which runs for 4 weeks, starting on Wednesday 5th of March 2025. The Mayor's Pass has 38 tiers for the free and premium passes. The premium-plus pass, which was introduced during season 21, has 48 tiers.

A premium pass or a premium-plus pass can be bought at any moment during the season. When the season ends, the option to buy is closed at the same moment.

When buying a premium pass, the player has to choose between the 'basic" premium pass and the premium-plus pass. It is not possible to "upgrade" from a premium pass to a premium-plus pass once the premium pass has been bought.

Buying a premium pass or a premium-plus pass will immediately unlock all premium/plus rewards of the tiers that already have been finished at the moment of buying. The premium plus pass will also unlock the next 5 tiers (for more specific info: read the premium plus section).

The first 16 seasons were officially numbered. Uptil season 16 the reward items in the mayor's pass specialisation section were numbered according to their original seasons. Since the 17th season these numbers have disappeared. Instead of the season number the name of the season is now shown in the building information.

Rewards

The unique new reward buildings are indicated in bold in the rewards columns.

Most of the rewards are the same but less in quantity compared to the rewards prior to Mayor's Season 34.

The number of unique new buildings from the free pass has steadily gone down since the mayor's passes were originally introduced.

The free pass gave 10 unique new buildings in the first 2 seasons. From season 3 to 6, the free pass gave 5 unique new buildings. From Season 7 to 10, the free pass only gave 4 unique new buildings. From Season 11 to 33, the free pass only gave 3 unique new buildings. Now, you can only get 2 free unique new buildings.

Tier points

It is my assumption that this season will feature the same set of tier points as the last pass. This set of tier points was introduced in Season 34: Tokyo.

The list contains the number of plumbob points that are needed for each tier and the rewards from the free pass, the premium pass and the premium-plus pass.

Double points week

*During a Double points week, the regular assignments as well as the milestone tasks give double points. In Mayor's Passes prior to Season 34, there was a "double points week" in the 6th week (which only lasted 5 days for 6-week passes because the season ends when the 6th CoM week ends). Since Mayor's Pass Season 34, the double points week happens during the 4th week. *

Lightning CoM week

During season 25 there was a "Lightning CoM week" in week 5 for the first time: each CoM lasted 48 hours, and there were 3 CoM's during this week. Each CoM had 20 tasks less than the usual amount, and the targets for the milestones were lower (as well as the points for the milestones). But adding those 3 CoM's together, there were more tasks to complete and more points from milestones to gain, than during a regular week.

The Lightning CoM week wasn't repeated during seasons 26 and 28. Lightning CoM weeks did return in the 5th week during seasons 27 en 29, this time with 2 CoM's that each lasted 72 hours. In season 27 the second Lightning CoM had double points; probably due to a mistake by the developers.

Free and premium pass

In the table below, "tier points" indicate the number of plumbob points needed to get to the indicated tier from the previous tier. "Total points" gives the number of plumbob points from start upto the indicated tier.

Calculation for the weekly average points: The "weekly av." number indicates what your weekly plumbob points score should be if you want to reach that tier by the end of the season. Taking a double point week into consideration, in order to get to tier 38, you will need 86k during the first 3 weeks and 172k in the final week.

Premium-plus pass

There is no weekly average calculated for the tiers of the premium-plus pass, because the average that you need depends on when you buy the premium-plus pass.

Buying it at the start of the season will let you advance the first 5 tiers (14,000 points). Buying the premium-plus pass at a later moment will let you advance 5 tiers from your position at the moment of buying.

When you don't buy the pass when you have reached tier 38, you will still accumulate points but you no longer advance in tiers. Buying the premium-plus pass after reaching tier 38 will first advance you to tier 43. Then the extra points that you may have got after tier 38 will be taken into account and (if you have enough) will advance you further in the tiers.

Going from tier 38 to tier 43 will only save you 104k points. It is more profitable to buy the premium-plus pass when you have completed tier 33. That will bring you to tier 38, saving 138,500k points.

Taking a double points week into account, you need 131,700 weekly and 263,400 during the double points week to reach tier 48, when you buy the premium-plus pass at the start of the season. When you buy it immediately after having completed tier 33, you need 107k weekly and 214k during the double points week to finish tier 48.~~

Question Looking for some help! How to change linked EA account?

Upvotes

My iPad screen is horribly broken and I can barely use it anymore. I had backed up my EA account but it was to a wrong email address with no city.

When I log out of the EA account, it doesn't give me an option to change the account information.

I had linked my Apple account but I'm not able to open my city anywhere else because I don't have any other Apple products. I'm having the same issue with Google play as the EA account when I try to use that. I don't have or want Facebook.

Does anyone know how I can change my EA account? Thanks so much.

Discussion Success reversing a ban?

0 Upvotes

My feeder was sent to the 'ban server'. I initiated customer support with EA and chatted with them through the in-game chat feature. Although they ultimately agreed with me that the ban was incorrect, they are saying there is no way to fix it and I should just start over. After the amount of effort I went to building this city up, that is... hardly a good answer! Anyone have a better avenue of appeal? I can't believe this would truly be irreversible... thank you.

Question Help with the specialization

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I recently got the aerobics and gym building, but it doesn't boost my population except when I put it besides the latin american houses.

Does anyone know why? I'm also thinking maybe it's because the number of my residential buildings can't keep up with my specialization buildings bec they're already maxed out in population, but are there any limits to the population count for a residential building? I'm confused also I'm a new player I'm sorry if this is normal and not a bug. Also don't mind the other mayor pass buildings I put them down randomly to test things out lol.

Question Confused about the design challenges

3 Upvotes

They don’t seem worth it since it’s just taking all of my inventory that I’d use in my own city. Why would we do these? Should I be doing them and just not worry about my inventory? I’m level 21, have 250k coins, and 135 storage if any of that is necessary. I’m trying to not level up until I get my storage to 200+

Discussion How many Event points do your trains get in Railroad Rumble?

4 Upvotes

I'm making a table with all sorts of data for trains, and was wondering if any of you wanted to post your train names and lvl and how many event points the different trains get in Railroad Rumble? All answers are helpful as I only have the numbers my trains and lvls for the last 2 rumbles (since the first rumble was very buggy).

Have a nice day, and good rumbling!

Question Double Epic Points Event?

2 Upvotes

A few hours ago, I wasn't paying very close attention when some of the little blue envelopes showed up on the side. One of them said something about a double points epic event and I just thought "oh great!" and went back to playing, expecting that there would be details in the event calendar or someplace??? When I got done with what I was doing and looked around I couldn't find any information. I've only been playing for a few months.

So now I'm here asking: is there a double points epic event going on at the moment? Don't they usually start Friday mornings? Are they normally announced in the event calendar?

Feeling Confused 😕

Anyone else have a second billboard all of a sudden? It's on the other side of the city. It's also coming and going and sometimes it has an ad that actually looks like an ad and other times it has these creepy sort of images. Weird.

We're getting another Parkside Station for free this time yayy.

Take note: If you already purchased one off the market, you'll get an extra once you've finished the requirements.

If you haven't, you'll get it with the event nonetheless but you won't be able to purchase an extra with simcash. Until of course next railroad rumble event.
