@rosemow As always, thank you for your thoughtful and kind words. It is always nice to see how you have truly observed all the aspects of a build.
@MiaSkywalker , thanks for the hints. I remember having some problems like that when I had edited an EA festival lot. It was my first experience with seasonals and as I played it over several months I would notice one issue or another from seasonal overlaps. I was especially not clear on the distinction between Common and Construction at the time.
One thing I should be able to avoid is the Common vs Seasonal issue, since my Common lot is almost empty. I trimmed the island around the tree back after reading about the game generating eggs in unrouteable areas in spring. It had been larger for aesthetic reasons, but playability trumps aesthetics. Especially when sharing a lot with others.
I was very happy to remember that hearts could be used to form clovers! I was desperately trying to make the St. Pats theme clear in that area. One little garden gnome just wasn't doing the job. At first they were going to be regular 3-leaf clovers, but I felt that they didn't look right without a stem. A stem wouldn't have been difficult with 1/4 tiles, but they are not a seasonal feature. And 4-leaf clovers are much luckier anyway.
@Springfairy556 I must have misunderstood your earlier statement to be that you owned the store, rather than most of the store. Now that I know you have a wishlist, I will have to keep you in mind if ads come back or if I win any contests.
