'Wreck your city to unlock this building'

[Chyll]

Trying to be as diplomatic as possible & as polite as possible............................. Um no

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As valid a point as the OP made it is in the end moot.
Can't someone make a mod or a map we all can use just to get this (clears throat) *achivement*?

No need to be diplomatic and polite just because I was. Especially after I've already said I agreed with the OP and all a few posts prior...

LOL - Hilarious to me that people have a problem with this. There was a recent development in the gaming industry that will help you deal with this issue. It's called a "save-game". See, with this nifty innovation, you can keep a good version of your city tucked away, nice and safe. Then, if you go for the courthouse (or whatever building it is), and you can't get your city back up to spec, this so-called "save-game" will allow you to "load" the original city, still all prim and proper, ready for you to keep playing like nothing happened.

I do believe I mentioned above keeping a save of your good town and destroying an alternate. It's still a pain in the butt for those of us who would just prefer to build our cities and have all the buildings already unlocked. For goodness sake, there's already the ability within the game to have the items that usually unlock through regular game-play available at the start of the map (you know how if you start a regular game you have to unlock roads, services, etc.?). I don't really see a difference between that game option and one that would potentially unlock all the other stuff.

no need to wreck your current city. just start a new city, ruin that one to get all the unlockables and then go back to your good city. Unlockables are unlocked forever and across all cities, not per city.

There is no issue here, move along.

Oh, I did not realize that. I thought you had to do it for each city. Interesting. Maybe I will do it, then. I still think it's silly, but it is what it is.

I kind of ignored all of this when I first started playing, but out of curiosity started up a new city specifically just to get all of them. I got almost all the bad ones already, city is doing fine, it's not that bad and actually I'm having fun trying to get them all and fix the city after getting the bad ones.
