SimCity BuildIt Frosty Fjords Guide
SimCity BuildIt Frosty Fjords Guide
Frosty Fjords is the cold, mountain region of SimCity BuildIt, and this SimCity BuildIt Frosty Fjords guide explains how to unlock it and use its Mountain Zones. It is the only region with Mountain support, according to community discussion of the five regions, which makes it the counterpart to Sunny Isles: beach in one, mountains in the other, and both give population boosts that the other regions do not.
What Frosty Fjords looks like
Frosty Fjords comprises three pieces of land, featuring two snowy rectangles and one longer green rectangle, according to community guides. It is a cold-climate map set in a northern European style. Unlike Sunny Isles, which needs extra cooling power, Frosty Fjords needs additional electricity because heating power consumption is high, according to community guides. The look is snow, pine forests and mountain homes — a very different city from the tropical islands.
How to unlock Frosty Fjords
Frosty Fjords is one of the five regions, unlocked once your Capital City reaches level 25 and you meet the regional population requirements, according to community guides. It was added after the first three regions, along with Sunny Isles. You can choose it as your first region if mountain population is your priority, or unlock it later once your regional population is high enough for a further region.
Mountain Zones and population
Mountain Zones are Frosty Fjords’ main advantage. Like Beach Zones in Sunny Isles, Mountain Zones give a population boost to homes placed in them, and community guides recommend focusing on Frosty Fjords Mountains for additional population. Place residential zones inside Mountain Zones, add services and parks nearby, and the same homes hold more people. That is the core reason to build in Frosty Fjords rather than in a region with no Beach or Mountain support.
Regional currency and forests
Frosty Fjords has its own regional currency, earned the same way as other regions: Sim Offers, Export HQ rows, regional upgrades, or SimCash. Regional forests in Frosty Fjords include spruce forests, with the small 1×1 forest reported to cost 250 regional Simoleons in other regions and a larger 2×2 forest reported to cost 100 SimCash in the landscape guide — check the in-game price for Frosty Fjords, as prices can vary by region and update. Spend regional currency on Hot Spots and forests that boost the homes you are building, not on decoration alone.
Regional Factory and storage
Frosty Fjords has its own Regional Factory with a reported 5 production slots, unlocked when you open the region, and its regional raw material takes a reported 6 minutes to produce, according to community guides. A Regional City Storage can be built after 5,000 regional population, adding a reported 20 capacity. Build both early so regional production does not become the bottleneck for your mountain city.
Tips for building in Frosty Fjords
Plan power first, because heating demand is high. Build Mountain Zones first, then homes inside them, then services. Do not sell regional materials until expansion is complete. And remember that Frosty Fjords is the only Mountain region — if you want mountain population boosts, there is no substitute region to use instead.
