Wow, almost a month! Well, game update. Michaela and Laz have married and have two children, Zach and Sondra.
More relevant to this thread, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon Resort is complete and has been play tested. I think I've mentioned before that I've been lax in the past about play testing builds. Square rooms are generally safe. Luckily, I have NRaas's Overwatch installed. Because I got routing warnings night and day after opening the resort. I did several things trying to resolve the problem, from moving several plants, to building walls to keep Sims out of some planting areas completely.
Nothing was working. Then it occurred to me to check the "buried" resort tower. Sure enough, resort staff kept getting stuck when exiting the back doors of the building. I opened up the space around the building by a couple squares and suddenly all the routing notices were gone. By that point I chose to leave all the changes in place. Some actually made the build nicer.
The only thing I'm still keeping an eye on is that when I first visited the resort, after about a week of operation, the game had generated trash on the roofs of buildings, where maintenance staff couldn't get to it to clean. But, after I manually relocated it to ground level, I have not seen it happen again. Which is a relief. I couldn't imagine creating access to all the terraces of the ziggaraut.
I need to set aside some time to do a "photo shoot" before posting the build. But, here are two teaser shots:

Actually, these shots are not of the completed build. All the buildings are complete and as shown. But there is a LOT more landscaping and some of the service areas have changed, ie: the hot tub, the wedding area, and an interactive spa area. I promise to post it within the week.
