Yo wazzup guyz its ya boi here with another knaalige filled guide!
SIMBOOSTS - WHAT DO?
If you are a regular player like me chances are you'd want to conserve and hoard your simboosts until you know the best way to use them, so I'm here to tell you what to do:
1. Never convert your simboosts to in game money. Any experienced player will tell you that this is the most wasteful use for simboosts in the game. If you happen to run out of capital while starting out, get to the required level and issue some bonds, or do achievements.
2. Unlock all the 3 extra building slots first. You can unlock 3 building slots using simboosts (50 for the first one, 100 for the second one and 500 for the third slot, thanks Morlind Inc. and Construction Bob!) so make sure you use all your daily simboosts for this purpose for the first 65 days or so.
3. Move retail or production speed bonuses. If you are like me and didn't know what to choose between the retail or production speed bonus during that one particular early PA quest, chances are you chose the bonus that doesn't fit with your play style right now, (If not, then good for you!) I suggest saving up enough simboosts to move 1 retail or production speed bonus at a time. You can go beyond 0% bonus on either side up to -3%, and that is why other players have negative production or retail speed bonuses.
4. Open up executive slots. Notice how I said that the speed bonus should be moved one at a time? This is because there might be a time when opening up a staff slot is needed while the speed bonuses are being moved. A staff slot is usually opened up for the purpose of hiring a fresh grad to train, or just an extra slot for any exec you might want to hire. See the executive guide for more.
By this point you don't really need this guide anymore, you can use your extra simboosts to get more display cases for your certificates, rush buildings and the hiring of executives if you really need them, or use it to advertise your company in the newspaper! If you have high ambitions you can even build a recreational building and use your simboosts to catapult yourself to level 30!

IS 10 SIMBOOSTS A DAY ALL I GET AS A REGULAR PLAYER?
No. Believe it or not there is a 100% legal way to get free simboosts, and that is by joining the contest!
Until a few weeks ago from the time of writing this guide Envy, a former moderator, ran the weekly simcompanies facebook contest which could have netted 1 lucky player 100 simboosts every week if the player can answer that week's question based on the latest issue of the simcompanies times. The contest stopped for a few weeks following Envy's departure, and has now started up again on twitter, so check out the game's official twitter account for the mechanics of the contest and more!
For most of the time since this weekly contest started, I have been told that some of the participants have amassed thousands of simboosts due to the small number of players participating in the weekly contest. There has never been a better time to join the contest and get some free simboosts along the way, as the chances of winning are high! There is even a monthly contest that gives out 300 simboosts, but I have no idea if it will come back this month.
WHY SHOULD I EVEN CONSIDER BUYING SIMBOOSTS?
As we all know Patrik is a one man team that designs and runs the entire game all by himself, and yet he designed the game in such a way that nobody could buy their way to the top rank, considering how some of the top players aren't even supporters. This is kind of rare nowadays, as most online games are using the "pay to win" model as the norm, some even use the subscription model where you need to pay a monthly fee to keep playing!
Buying simboosts helps the game immensely by giving Patrik some help with the development and server costs, which literally keeps the lights on for the game. So if you have some extra cash lying around, consider supporting the game and Patrik!
