You Can Do All Trophies in Design Mode

[Burgins]

I'd recommend playing through once on an Easy game to unlock all the houses and stuff but you can keep creating specific setups to do each of the trophies if you need to. Just remember that the Undesirable shelters you build in the tutorial won't count as having been "made in a game" and thus you'll have to put them down in either a regular game or a Design Mode game after you've started the clock for it to be able to be considered "made" in a past game.

 

You can easily utilize this to get both Commission trophies done without any thought at all. Unlock the Level 5 homes in a regular game, go to a Design game, put it on War and Original!!! difficulty, and put down a Level 5 home with every room fully upgraded and just have the tenant work on their commission project. Before you start time you can put down all 4 resource factories and have one of your work groups fill up your resources, and then when you start time and the commission is finished, you can build their commission building wherever and it'll pop both trophies.

 

Being able to do all of this game on Design Mode makes it completely negligible. There isn't a single difficult task to overcome. The "hardest" part is the beginning when you're doing a normal game to rush through upgrades and get new resources and building types. Just make sure if you want to utilize a building in Design, to BUILD IT in the regular game so it'll show up in your Design list. If you don't, you'll have to build it manually when you start your Design game's clock, which could be annoying (for example, if you're playing on War in Design mode to get the Undesirable trophies, you don't get to build for the AI opponent anymore after you start the clock. So if you're playing on Easy, they very likely will never build the Undesirable buildings on their own and it'd just be faster to build a few of your own to unlock them if you didn't have them unlocked for Design, and then back out and make a new map to be able to arrest an Undesirable, destroy an Undesirable shelter, etc etc).

 

Might be the easiest strategy game platinum on the PS4 because of this? Not sure
