How to build OMEGA homes

Once you’ve built your NeoMall, you can start building OMEGA homes. Tap on the residential building menu to see the new OMEGA zones.OMEGA homes have more residents than normal buildings and will help send your population sky-high. They also produce NeoSimoleons to use in the NeoMall. You can also use OMEGA homes to expand your NeoStorage and NeoBank capacity. Use OMEGA items to build and upgrade OMEGA homes. When two or more OMEGA homes in close proximity to each other are upgraded to the maximum level, they’ll form Sky bridges.

OMEGA services

Don’t forget to build Power, Water, Sewage, and Waste Management Services and other Basic Services for your OMEGA homes.

ControlNet: ControlNet powers OMEGA homes and has its own coverage area.

NeoBank: Unlike other residential buildings, OMEGA homes produce NeoSimoleons, so remember to collect and save them in your NeoBank.
