SimCity BuildIt Entertainment Buildings: Hotels, Stadiums
SimCity BuildIt entertainment buildings are where a city stops being functional and starts being fun. Entertainment covers hotels, theatres, stadiums, fairgrounds and night life — the buildings Sims visit when they are not working or studying. For population and happiness, simcity buildit entertainment buildings are one of the strongest specializations, and they can create Epic Buildings.
The chain starts with Entertainment HQ, then the year-round ladder: Hotel (8 Golden Keys), Amphitheater (9), Expo Center (10), Tennis Stadium (12) and on up to the Sydney Opera House (25 Golden Keys). The collection has 23 buildings in four categories, including the Pet Park, Tea House, UFO Landing Site, Longship Museum and Luau Party as regional and limited-time pieces. Hot spots sit inside entertainment too — the Pet Park in Green Valley is an entertainment hot spot, upgraded with regional Simoleons once your regional population reaches the requirement.
Entertainment Epic Projects have at least two designs that community guides list — Tower of Expos, Tower of Pleasure, Tower of Fairs and Tower of Games are among the names reported, with the design assigned at random. That makes entertainment a good Epic choice: place a maxed home inside an entertainment boost area and you have a shot at a tall, high-population Epic tower.
Placement is the skill. Entertainment buildings have large boost areas, so one well-placed stadium can cover a whole residential district. Put the biggest entertainment building in the centre of your densest housing, not on the edge of the map. Overlap it with a park or an education building and the boosts stack on the same homes, which is how small cities post big population numbers.
Entertainment also ties into events more than most specializations. The Funfair season, covered in our Funfair guide, is an entertainment-flavoured season, and limited-time entertainment buildings regularly appear in Mayor’s Pass seasons and Event Tracks. The Golden Goal Stadium, for example, was released through the Summer of Football Event Track as an entertainment hot spot. If you like a building, grab it during its event — it may not return for a long time.
