For this reason, you should buy out Daniel every day, and he will restock after 24 hours so you can do it again. You are guaranteed six such items every day, from Daniel, who always sells items at base price, so you can turn around and sell them for max price. Number 3, buying items to sell again may sound counterintuitive, but if you buy an item at a price below what you can sell it for, then it's profit. Now, there are three ways to gain items for selling: That leaves number 1 as the number one means for earning simoleons in SimCity BuildIt: selling items, either through your trade depot or city advisors. Make a habit of collecting taxes twice a day. To be sure, do collect all taxes, and don't leave them unattended for more than 24 hours because you will lose simoleons you could have had otherwise, since the amount caps at the 24-hour total.

You shouldn't depend on taxes for most of your city's income because it'll never be enough. Number 2, taxes, while it may seem large, is also not much, and the increase as a function of population is not linear, meaning that the increase of tax revenue becomes smaller as the population gets larger.

Do collect every 24 hours, but not for the simoleons.

Number 3, gifts, is important, and one should collect every free gift that is available every day (and there are many), but in terms of just simoleons the total is very small and incidental to the larger benefit of daily collection. Shipments give a little more, but not nearly as much as selling the items you ship would earn on the market. Repairing disaster zones is legitimate, but at 500 simoleons for only the non-key repairs, it's almost totally insignificant. Upgrading RZs increases your level, which will unlock even more production items, stores, services, specializations, and added city infrastructure that ultimately will greatly outweigh any imagined benefits to the paltry sums to be gained by upgrading.

In a similar vein, number 4, upgrading, should never be considered solely as a means to earn simoleons, especially upgrading RZs only to demolish them again. It is technically a way to gain simoleons, but only for the insane. Of the five ways, number 5, buying, should never, ever be considered, not even once, not even for a millisecond.

Payments from upgrading residential zones, repairing some disaster zones, and completing shipments.

Gifts from visiting other cities, video ad rewards, and daily chests.

Selling items via your trade depot and advisors.

There are five legitimate ways to gain simoleons:
