Simoleons are the main currency, appearing as gold coins, that can be earned in-game by upgrading residential areas, selling, trading resources.The game utilizes music and graphics similar to SimCity (2013), although it is slightly downscaled in order to fit in with a mobile device's graphic capabilities. The game is freemium, free-to-play but offering in-app purchases and some advertisements however purchases aren't necessary to play and video advertisements can be dismissed.
