After your roads and zones are set up, structures of all shapes and sizes should begin to bloom all over your new city. As the mayor of this burgeoning area, you are responsible for constructing many key infrastructures and buildings. Buildings that can be managed and edited are called Ploppables. Each Ploppable is hand-placed. They have a specific and vital purpose to the city, and it’s your job to maintain these structures in order to keep the residents happy and prosperous.
Once a Ploppable is plopped, click the structure to view its information panel. The panel displays general info about the building, including the daily expenses required to run it. Keep a close eye on these stats to ensure that Ploppables are functioning to their full potential.
Editing and Upgrading Ploppables[edit]
Select a plopped building to view detailed information about it. Choose from the buttons at the bottom of the window to adjust some of the building’s functions or upgrade the building’s features.
Open/Close[edit]
Click this button to shut down or reopen a building, which can act as an alternative to demolition. Temporarily shutting down a building can save your city some funds. You can then reopen it when you have the Simoleons to do so.
Edit Building[edit]
Opens Edit Mode, which allows you to customize or upgrade elements of the building with modules. Adding modules can help increase your building’s productivity.
Certain Ploppables, like power structures, have specialized options that let you adjust specific functions (like importing/exporting resources, etc.) of the building. See a detailed description of these options in their section.
