What Have You Done With 3D?
Edit: With the switch to the new forum format, the first post in this thread was deleted. Also, the new Photobucket policy has blocked many images. I've tried to restore what I could. Where else to begin a thread on 3D than with @MelDesigner's skyscrapers? This was her first: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3778/11043315063_2cbd5ff265_o.jpg But not her last: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5534/10917626403_7dbed2e87b_o.jpg We've all seen our fair share of hedge hills, but have you seen anyone top this pyramid design by @jofre_nash? http://i57.tinypic.com/o8ifcg.png Customized drive-in theatres are almost a rite of passage. There are many great examples, but the recent purge makes finding them a bit tough. Nonetheless, I was able find this very early gem by @TotalTapper in gif form: http://i.imgur.com/c4Jscpl.gif @Mopurglar taught us how to do it in Krustyland: http://i.imgur.com/HQcFlWK.jpg
Following the Springfield Guide 2.5
This thread is a restart of the thread from the forum which is closing. There were 40 pages there so I am only putting in the last big map and some locations mentioned but the thread was not being kept up. I will try to update a newer map with items added since the last map Clean Map Map with mountains and land squares overlay and buildings circled Map with location squares Items mentioned but have not been mapped MAP ITEM: Mt. Useful is located in the mountain range by Mt. Carlmore and the Murderhorn! WooHoo! AutoLand, Vaclav's and Kliff's Kar Chalet are in G1, Car Wash in G2, there is a Used Cars in H3, Auto Wrecking Yard in H5. And various other car lots. There is a Donny's Discount Gas in B3. I had put Seething Sisters there but now can move that to the other side. pitiless pup is in G4, Canine college is in E1 Mt. Splashmore is in the very upper left of the map. Polystar Pictures is on the map. Lower right side. If you see a mistake or an item in an event has a location on the map please let me know thanks Previous Thread https://forums.ea.com/discussions/tsto-creative-corner-en/following-the-springfield-guide/3130149
End of the Springfield Showcase..
Looks like the of The Springfield Showcase. I've tried my best to keep this side of the forums alive over the years but looks like EA has decided to pull the plug on us. I hope you have all enjoyed the designs the community has uploaded here and its sad to see all the hard work we put together just disappear. I'm not sure if I'll continue on the new site but we'll see when the time comes. Thank you all so much for the effect you have put into this showcase on keeping it alive as it has been fun over the years :) And Boo urns to EA :#
Some of 4j3k’s favorite designs
06/22/23 modifying this thread to include more of my favorite designs; many in mapstitched, extra large, full (playing level) scale images. * * * This is my Pirate Ship Exhibit. I decided to bring the pirate ship exhibit into my Fogburyport neighborhood. This required shifting my entire Beach Hut Resort 6 squares over, with some mild redesign since I only had 5 squares available at first. Here’s an aerial view of where the ship exhibit moved: And here’s an aerial view of the final design. This move allowed me to group the pirate themed items, and create a more unified looking pier transition to the Fogburyport Wharf. I also swapped the Palm Beach hotel so that the Hammock Hut Area now ties in with the Beach Hut resort Main entrance. I also added a direct access to the resort’s sun deck to the SquidPort Before: After: This design also eliminated a conflict with the largest version of the Beach Hut, which I wanted to display without its water slide and balloon concealing anything behind it.
Check out my Springfield replica!
Hey everyone! I've been playing TSTO since it was first released. Throughout the years, I've spent way more time on this game than I would like to admit. No doubt addicting! Although it has been tough since I hit my building limit years ago (and continue to do so to this day), I'm quite proud of what it has become. I just always tried to keep it as realistic as possible. I try to create distinct neighborhoods (residential, industrial, retail, etc.) separated by wide rivers. I provide each building with a lot, and provide parking, road access, walkways and landscaping for each lot. I stuck with this design plan since the beginning. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions. Also, feel free to add! I have way too many neighbors with random stuff all over the place and it drives me nuts! I may be a bit OCD....

while waiting for the new event, this time i kept busy making a realistic road map of my SF. Here it is: It's easier to see the details if you Open in a new window and then Magnify. I've illustrated color-coded land zoning; and icons for various Points of Interest including: God, nukes, and hidden treasure. The neighborhoods are indicated with white semi-transparent lettering. This was really fun to do! Maybe you will make one too? Post it when you're done! Happy tapping!
