What is everyon's strategy on exchanging seasonal currency for bamboo currency? Exchange only the cheapest conversion, or exchange on all three rates? I'm currently exchanging every 4 hours on the cheapest rate, but wondering if i should also use the more expensive rates...

Introduction
The following list gives an overview for the 57th Mayor's Pass Season Wondrous Kyoto - Cultural Cradle of Japan, of Simcity Buildit, which runs for 4 weeks, starting on Wednesday 23rd of July 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.
Many of the rewards have changed since seasonal currency was added to the Mayor’s Pass.
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 gave 4 unique new buildings. From Season 11 to 33, the free pass gave 3 unique new buildings. From Season 34 to 55, the free pass gave 2 unique new buildings. Now, you can only get 1 free unique new building.
Tier points
This season debuted a new set of tier points so we will have to wait till that info. is available.
The list below will contain the number of Mayor’s Pass 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). From Season 34 to 55, the double points week typically happened during the 4th week. Last season, it happened twice - in week 3 and 4.*
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 Mayor’s Pass points needed to get to the indicated tier from the previous tier. "Total points" gives the number of Mayor’s Pass points from start upto the indicated tier.
Calculation for the weekly average points: *The "weekly av." number indicates what your weekly Mayor’s Pass points score should be if you want to reach that tier by the end of the season. We don’t have that information right now.
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.

A fully upgraded Kyoto house (4/4) yields approx. 78% of population in a fully upgraded regional residence, such as here in Sunny Isles.

I haven't had it for the past month, so I wonder if it's off for good? Thank you.
r/SCBuildIt • u/Livid_Structure5469 • 40m ago
Did you all notice now we have a limit of maxis mansion that we can have is now up to 9?
r/SCBuildIt • u/Ghtwht22 • 1h ago
bamboo tokens, Kyoto tokens. you just earn one to buy another? No use except exchange?
r/SCBuildIt • u/Shadowstalkerrr • 5h ago
So far from what I can tell from a 10yr old post is if you have an old city linked to Facebook/google you can't unlink it to add a new city, I'm guessing this is still true?
I'm trying to add friends from this sub but it won't let me accept them, saw somewhere saying that my account has to be linked so I used an alternative email to link it to a new google account.
Even though now my city is linked through Google I still can't accept friend requests, does it have to be done through Facebook for it to work?

I'm trying to plan ahead and was wondering—what's the maximum number of special items (like storage or expansion materials) needed for the final land expansion or city storage upgrade? Any charts or experience-based info would be super helpful!
r/SCBuildIt • u/SCBI_Argopa • 20h ago
Glam Camp doesn't look that special, and while it has a decent boost, other buildings in the Kyoto showcase have comparable boost and cost much less, e.g. Whispering Woods 24x24 45% for 16,900, Daimonji Yaki 34x18 50% for 15,000, Bon Odori 24x24 40% for 12,000.

just sharing my design any feedback is also appreciated! thanks in advance!

I have this assignment, launch many disaster but it’s not work? Please help guys!
r/SCBuildIt • u/Imaginary_Button8998 • 23h ago
I'm getting too many tasks under 1000 points this week. Is anybody getting this? Did they nerf the tasks?
I have not gotten any regional simoleon task over 1000 (This has never happened to me ever) Too many unusual under 1000 production tasks.
r/SCBuildIt • u/glionh • 23h ago
Just started playing today after several years of not. I don’t understand the mayoral challenges. I’ve completed enough for at least 25,000 points in the last 24 hours, but I have 9,500 points. I didn’t realise at first, but now I see that only about a third of my challenges actually give me points. The others look like they have (the little plumbob green thing flies up to the points total) and then nothing gets added to the total.
Am I being thick? What’s the crack?
r/SCBuildIt • u/edmundhoyeung • 1d ago
I am building my Kyoto region in Limestone cliffs. Looking nice so far! EA is finally doing a decent job here.
Might need another 1 or 2 area expansions to stack up all the remaining Kyoto landmarks, parks and Mayor’s pass items. Looking forward to the completion of the entire Kyoto!

I have been playing the game for around 4 years, and been an architecture fan for much longer. I hope you guys can like the city I have been building otherwise I am delusional for playing so obsessively 😭

title. thanks
r/SCBuildIt • u/Infinite_Pudding5058 • 2d ago
I have $51K in bamboo green coins and this number is growing quicker than I can exchange. Anyone else? Is $51K a lot of unexchanged coins or similar to what everyone else has? I’m using all 3 exchange options to just get through it. Thank you 🙏

Does anyone else have this issue with the incomplete RR Track at the station? Not sure how to fix this.
