Following the Springfield Guide

There really no point IMO on trying to lay it out "exactly" as it always seems to change. I have the simpsons board game scene it and it has pimento grove,moes,king tutts all in the street infront of evergreen terrace. Plus in the stonecutters episode the power plant is behind the simpsons house. So the layout consistantly changes. But workin with what you have, good job so far.

Yeah, I get that there is no such thing as an official Springfield map. Still though, I saw this map for the first time, and I'm like

And then I got all serious. "...I must build it"

Here is a previous thread started on the subject in 'The Simspons: Tapped out FAQ' thread.
Paulzuk has located as much as possible and listed their locations. He updated it last in June. Very useful :)

Ahhh, my people :D I've seen that interactive map before. I'll probably use it a lot, when I have money to spare for decorating.

For now I've put Krabapples apartment where Spinter Apartments are on the map, as they are surrounded by plenty of apartment blocks. But I think I'll move it once Patty and Selma get released, (whenever that happens...)

Yes, we need Patty and Selma. There's too many eligible bachelors in town, and only one woman can marry them all. :wink:

I have a forested area in my top right corner, I've hidden Frinks lab there as a secluded Mad scientist. I've also got a space waiting for the Ray gun when Kang and Kodos are released (I didn't spend the doughnuts at Holloween...regretting it ever since.)

Yeah, because I'm OCD about the map, I don't care much about the spaceship or the supercollider. I mean, I'd take 'em and use 'em somewhere, if they're free, but I'm not spending the donuts. Likewise right now I don't see much point in Lincolns cabin. I'm kind of tempted because "Grant Conner's Cabin" is labelled in Springfield forest, and it would be neat to place any kind of cabin there, but It's not that big of a deal. I definitely got that itch for the cemetary right now, as it's a big open space on my map right now, currently used for storage.

That's some damn fine work there. Very well detailed, explained and laid out. You should actually thank your stars you do not have more material as it makes layouts much harder. Good work and please keep updating! Also feel welcome to add in game as I am working off the same map with some variation plus episode by episode decoration for details. Might give you some ideas.

I am thankful, particularly surrounding the city hall, there is no room left.

I'll definitely have to make room on my friends list in order to add people following the guide.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
