@nerdfashion : I have never been to the true Great Lakes region, unless you count Chicago, but I can see elements of Magnolia Promenade and Newcrest fitting there.
@GalacticGal : I'm not too familiar with the southwestern U.S. to pinpoint Strangerville with specific towns, but your description sounds accurate. I can see Roswell as fitting for the town elements of Strangerville.
@Wainwrong (pt. 1) : I agree 100% that San Myshuno really doesn't fit one location too good. I never though of Singapore... that's a good addition!
@amp107 : I agree that Oasis Springs could be a bit larger on my map, I just didn't want to crowd the map in that region. Magnolia Promenade does feel like a Willow Creek extension now that you say it!
@Sindocat : Yosemite is a good contender for Granite Falls! It just comes down to picking a location, and since Yellowstone came to mind first, it's what I ultimately chose. I agree that San Myshuno looks like San Francisco, but, in my opinion, there were too many Asian elements to ignore to pinpoint San Myshuno directly to San Francisco. I guess I could have added it to the arrow web that it is right now.
@Wainwrong (pt. 2) : Since the Sims team works in Northern California, San Francisco is a good base for San Myshuno. In the backdrop, I just saw too many modern Asian elements to not put it in Asia though. If only I would have added San Francisco to my arrow web...
