Think outside the box. Play on blue stacks. Using a 60" monitor. Take a screen shot.  I've noticed lately that characters have said "Fuck your roads," and if you leave a single segment of road in your town they'll wander elsewhere. I managed to get most of my characters to hang out on the beach by deleting all of my pavement and all but a small segment of road. The old "leave only one piece of road" trick no longer seems to work. They also cut through yards like little hoodlums, and I always see several of them in a corner where there are no roads. That makes things more difficult.  Yes. The update did something to Traffic control. If you visit my town, when they deign to leave the road squares, they now follow he concrete paths I used. I had to make sure there were no dead ends in the middle; but otherwise quite cool. I hope they keep this version of traffic for a while. |

I have a court yard area with pavement in my school area in one of my towns, and it's cool to see characters walking through it. |

Hmmm I was excited until I realized it meant ripping out my roads. Which would lead to me feeling obligated to do a complete redesign. Maybe I'll just make sure I vote for a winner.

Point System Amended Rule Amendment and Explanation (10/18): - After much discussion and debate, the committee has to decided to amend the point system of the contest. An extra 25 points is now available.
- Read this closely: A costume is strictly defined, for the purposes of this contest, as an outfit change from a character's normal attire. For example, Homer walking around in his normal white T and jeans would not count as a costume, but Homer strolling around as a Mayan was. However, we will give all participants, even those who have already entered, a change to creatively explain one of the characters who are not in costume to us and to justify them as in costume. Up to 25 points may be given for clever, witty, and/or funny explanations. Explaining a costume does not guarantee you will get 25 points, you can get anywhere from 0-25 points for this. Please keep in mind that you can only try to explain one character that is not (by definition) in costume. Any other explanations will not be considered and any extra non-costumed characters will count for the -5 points discussed in the point system.
- The new due date for submissions is Tuesday, October 22 at Midnight EST. Any submission time stamped after this date and time will not be considered. Public polling will now begin October 24, and end October 26, with the winner being announced October 27.
- Any submissions that have been received up to this point will still count, however, the person who entered may either revise their entry, pull their entry, or clarify their argument. If you have already entered you will receive a PM from PnR Submissions addressing the rule change.

They've always had to be visible previously. Why would that change now? |
