Learning to play dCity
I have been playing dCity for a while now, but not so actively. Mostly I have been buying some extra SIM where possible to try and work towards holding 1 million in SIM. This is because the returns are over 40% and you get paid daily.
My city currently looks like this:
You can see that I have 60109 SIM so far and not too much going on in my city. I have 22 people and earn 5 SIM each day.
Some of the recent events happening in my city are:
I am still trying to figure out what this all means and what I should do, but it's all part of the learning process.
To expand my city I put in a bid for 10 SIMs to try and expand my population. I also just bought an apartment block for them to live in.
This has had a bad effect on my SIM income already. It is now -1 for this apartment block!!
My next step will be to find something for my SIMs to do as they are all unemployed.
I then invested a further 4501 SIM in a police station, a shopping mall, and 4 scientists!!
This will give my city a nice boost and I will have to monitor the effects and see what adjustments I will need to make.
Looking at my new stats, you can see my population is now unbalanced and I need to find work for those lazy scientists. My population has now increased from 22 to 53. My popularity has also increased from 15 to 29. So that's a good step in the right direction.
My ranking is now 1614 based on population but also 1130 based on income. I will need to try and improve these metrics going forward.
Thanks for reading.

Few days ago, I saw this dcity in one of the games in Hive. I planned to join that but not as of today since I'm still confused on how I should start. By the way, where did you buy Sims?
