Hey all... It's been awhile coming, but here's the thread where I'll update changes to my town as I rebuild from the nuke I did over a year ago... I've posted pics elsewhere, but changes have happened to even those areas, so after 'the thaw' I've gotta update those pics... and there's stuff in town now that I don't like *eyes the 'sports complex* that I'll be changing and/or moving around... (In the case of the sports complex, I may just move Tapball out to give it it's own 'event' area, and put in an outdoor boxing area and then maybe move the whole thing... but I dunno yet... We shall see!) Other areas currently in the 'thinking about' phase: -Terwilleger's Event -Possibly sticking the pagan stuff somewhere (Thought about putting it in with Halloween but it's huge already..) -Casino (which will go in SH) -Mall area (I loathe what I have at the moment... I may move the actual 'mall' building we got from the show to it's own solo lot then do an outdoor mall like I have now elsewhere.. I dunno.. I think spacing is my issue...) -City Park (this will be a sizeable fixture I think) -Superheroes (I hate some of those buildings though) -Skyscrapers area... NOTE: I think I've mentioned elsewhere, but I'll say it here as well: I don't care if I have 1 of everything placed or displayed... I'm going for design aesthetic, and something I can have fun exploring and looking at... Also keeping future events in mind too... Like Halloween and Christmas... I know that those events will happen, and likely come with land... so I've placed those areas HOPEFULLY strategically so that as they add land for those events I'll be able to tweak those areas and add the new stuff.. AAANYWAYS, Without further ado: New Halloween area:  Full Size |

That's great and also huge. I wish I had the courage to press that nuke. I had a plan for my Springfield a long long time ago but it hasn't turned out anything like it. I tweak it a lot but it's not what I wanted.

Friggin' fabulous, Dave! Like I said before, the hedged dirt path really makes it! Well done! Thank you  I was having an inspired night... I wish another would come along.... I keep looking at my mall area, sports area, and the little area between mall and halloween where I've placed a couple terwilleger buildings and having no inspiration... le sigh... Maybe I'll move stuff around and throw my industrial district with the power plant and such below Halloween... I also need to figure out what's going under my recycle center so that I can expand my monorail a bit more... >.> Maybe one of the churches or something... Hmmm That's great and also huge. I wish I had the courage to press that nuke. I had a plan for my Springfield a long long time ago but it hasn't turned out anything like it. I tweak it a lot but it's not what I wanted. Nuking came as a necessity for me because my roads were all jacked up meeting in weird places and it drove me crazy with the mild OCD thing... >.> Once I nuked, I immediately regretted it, and spent almost a year trying to figure stuff out.. then I started, and hated it so removed what I had in.. Now the redesign has come in spurts of inspiration as a method of battling severe depression.... I'd also like to note, that since that screenshot, I've changed the border road around the very outside of the area from the cobblestone to the regular.... Decided I liked regular as the border areas, and the cobblestone in the actual halloween area. |

I think spacing is my issue...) -City Park (this will be a sizeable fixture I think) -Superheroes (I hate some of those buildings though) -Skyscrapers area... So I've come to a conclusion after trying to place some stuff from Terwillegers event, and Superheroes... In regards to the Terwillegers update: It was pretty much just the Monsarno buildings that were in the event that would make for an area... And for some friggin reason, they can't be placed on pavement? WTF? So yeah... weird grass edges trying to create 'walking paths' between buildings so until that issue is fixed that event can stay in my inventory.... In regards to Superheroes: Again, most of the stuff I don't care for... I'm thinking about throwing together a little 'zenith city' area but I dunno, still thinking about that one. -In other news- With the new strips of land I've moved my monorail tunnel north so that it's no longer cutting directly through my campgrounds. I like it much better now, and I think I've got a spot ready to throw down the Tetanus Terminal as my 'redneck outskirts of town' monorail stop since its near Cletus' farm. The fun I'm having with the monorail placements is that I refuse to let the track supports be in the middle of the road... On grass, or sidewalks is fine... but not in roads.. I don't know why.. I think the spot I was going to put Terwilleger's or Zenith City is going to be Tapball... I think my 'open mall' area is going to get smaller, or get more stores... My squidport/SH boardwalks are annoying me... Ok enough ramblings of the insanely tired guy.. when I have more ramblings I'll update. |

Because if they were in the roads the cars would hit them! Well they would if you could actually place the cars on the road...But still, it's the only acceptable way to place monorail tracks. |

So, it's been quite a while, and I know from years of forum experience that resurrecting threads is usually taboo, but since I already had progress here from the past I figured it may be fun to have it all together... Since the last time I posted any kind of image, huge things have happened. this was back on May 23rd, when I started working on it again at work to keep myself awake, and I just got the itch again: (I'll post as links because they're HUGE from the in game screenshots) i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc483/DaveSangor05/Simpsons_Screenshot-2019-05-23--16-15-11_zpsp4e1drn3.pngand here is from today July 10th: i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc483/DaveSangor05/Simpsons_Screenshot-2019-07-10--17-05-05_zpsvrr5uxkr.pngThere are more changes to come... I've given up on previous 'lists' that I had created and now design on a whim for whatever feels right... Few days ago I was working on the warehouse district, then randomly switched to adding 5 extra sections to my park to make it 9 total sections in a 'mega park' Everything else is just ripped up right now as I'm going to re-arrange, and re-locate things as it goes, and some of those pieces may not even make it as they are. The residential area will all be shifting over to where the stream that flows into the park goes towards the mountains, the Buddhist temple I haven't decided yet. The skyscrapers thing in SH I'm not 100% on, but was able to hide a couple decos that are required for characters to be out behind them, so that was helpful. Other than that, SH is 100% set with my gated rich community and private golf course. Oh, and the volcano lair may move as well.. Not 100% sold on it's location in the prison lake... Anyways.. I'll bring another screen shot around when I've made more heavy progress.. |

So it's been a few weeks working at it mostly at work while taking calls (I work at a call center..) and a little at home... Been having a fun time of it... Did quite a lot of shifting stuff around in the residential area, and completely moved the park after I finished it, couple things got added with the Flanders Reunion update as well Getting some of the municipal part of town together as well and just sorta putting things in and if it feels right it stays, if not it moves. I was having some issues with making the roads meet up to stay straight after putting in my industrial district, but decided that since I had finished it, it was a pain to have to rip stuff out that I liked to re-design, so instead moved the high school. Now there are some areas that could be wonky closed to the municipal area, but I've decided that normal towns don't have perfect roads, so why the heck not just have fun! Hope you enjoy:  |
