Routing

There are several routing issues/weirdness with this Isla Paradiso and it's a but difficult to describe those in a few words, so I'm just going to like routing reports here for everyone to read (hint hint to EA)

Since EA doesn't correct existing worlds, the best shot of getting it fixed is the community. ellacharmed from MTS has been doing a great job with other worlds and is now collecting routing issues for IP. Please report yours here: Routing issues – report here or at MTS: Unroutable sims

There seems a lot of sinking into the ground going on.
