Why I don't list CFE (Constrain Floor Elevation) on the index as a cheat we want in TS4:
I’ve given it a good deal of thought, and while CFE did enable builders to do amazing and dramatic things when it came to architecture in TS3, it also introduced so many nightmares in terms of floating ceiling tiles you couldn’t get rid of, weird routing issues, and just plain corruption. Often, if something went wrong, the only option was to restart the lot from scratch, doing things in a different order in order to prevent the problem (only to wind up with a new one half the time). I think with the modularity introduced (and, I hope, extended) in TS4, and if we compromise by not trying to build into hills, etc., we will still be able to build some stunning structures without it. I realize that some of you may not agree with me on this one! Feel free to make your case.
