What are bubbling treasure boxes? Are they not colored?
Great, Love it! Maybe you could start a New Topic on TBs for Beginners? They need to know ALL about them 
They are our TRUE Power here! Our Cities FEED and SuperPower them! We get 95% of our resources from them TYVM!
@SteveSunset @Crockle I still consider myself as a beginner, learning all the time.
A great deal of what I have learned came from the profile pages and old forum’s posts of people like @Night_Guy @cw2988 & Tickle - sadly that forum is no longer maintained and can’t be revisited. There have been others who have given me advice that’s proved to be really helpful and the practice of buying two tier six budlings, waiting out the HMP and then creating a monument from them is definitely paying off for me; not at break neck speed but I’m not in any hurry.

Steam may be hard to get a good capture. But I’ll try to update this with one. Bubbles was already shown.

I agree the math doesn’t add up for upgrading while I’m trying to build my city rather than collecting. But what’s the point of upgrading to a monument, (before you can actually build 10 of them to then upgrade them) if the charm payouts are the same. I seem to get more charms by keeping all my level 6 hotels until I can upgrade to at least 10 monuments and then upgrade those.

Well, what I know is the Most Valuable Charm you can recieve from a Green Prize Box is the GoldCard with the Wine 2ND. As you Evolve your Buildings and Monuments your GreenPrizes will be More Valuable. You will get the 1CloverCharms, then 2CloverCharms, then 3CloverCharms and finally the 4CloverCharms (SurfBoards, Tonic, Wine, GoldCards)! 
But, you have to give enough TIME for your GreenPrizes to “Build Up”. It takes my L3s 22Hrs to MaxOut to the GoldCards/Wine. Before 22Hrs, I get Tonic/SurfBoards. 
I like to Collect My CityCoins and Prizes Daily(24Hrs) at about the same time, so my L3s provide Very well for me and I am Happy! 
I also do my Evolving, MonMaking and Building Replacement at that Time.
The L4s may MaxOut to the GoldCards/Wine Faster and Occasionally give more Gems/Passes but I am Happy to have (8)L3s instead, to Collect City Daily and to get my Gems/Passes from my TB! 
Also, the HMP on Buildings is 4Days and you get another 2Days when you Evolve them! So if you Buy (2)T6 EVERY Day and Start Evolving those to L1s after 4Days you have the HMP on your T6(4Days) and L1s(2Days) for 100Gems a Day! When you Evolve L1s to L2s, another 2Day HMP! Your TB will Reward you! When you can Afford to Spend More, Double it, 200Gems a Day! It is like a snowball rolling down a mountain and Also a Constant Building Program to keep your TB Strong! 
Good Luck!

I try to evolve and build as often as I can. Sometimes, unfortunately it takes me up to a week to raise enough gems to do some decent building. My question.. The City Hotel is 1.25m and is considered 6/Large, The Homestyle Italian is the same price but 6/Small. Is there a diffenence in the payout of coins or is the difference just in their looks?
Cathylee. There’s no difference in the payout of coins. The difference is in the size of the bases of the buildings. You can fit more small ones in the same space when building your city than large or medium buildings.

Thank you @Jimee for clearing that up. Makes sense!!
I personally upgrade all the time…but for me its for designing purposes. At the same time I don’t understand how people can have so many (for example) city views without going ahead and evolving them. I personally do not save any small charms…so they can keep their fuzzy dice and such. I think once you get the level 15 monuments is where you start to get the good charms and passes. Everyone has their own game ways…some like cluttered cities others want design…do what makes you happy.

@Goldy_Oldy I’ve been here 5 years in October, and AFAIK the Jumbo Stadium was never available for purchase. It was a final prize during one month on the VIP reward road a few years ago.
The Willy buildings came about because of a promotional agreement between Willy Nelson and Flowplay. Several years ago Flowplay decided not to renew the agreement, so the Willy branded buildings and avatars were discontinued. Players who had already purchased them were allowed to keep them though.
Because of all of the discussion here about building upgrading, I decided to repost a chart I made some years ago, which shows all of the buildings that can be upgraded, the name of the new building, building tiers, and upgrade costs where I had them.
