Wow. What a beautiful town. Church and Drive-In is awesome. Also like the idea of turning the cracker factory into a hotel.
How long would it take to stitch a town?
Just a few thoughts...
Where is the Escalator, Popsicle Skyscraper and Magnifying Glass?
I feel the Kwik-E-Mart near the Volcano is out of place along with the Ice Rink.
IMO, Squidport needs more decorations. Sucks/Fit to be the Springfieldians that walks your Squidport, so much walking :-)
Thank you for your thoughts. First, it took about 2-3 hours to fully stitch the whole town (I used Adobe Illustrator). As for the other things. I agree with you on the KEM near the Volcano, but that is my ode to the "Who needs the KEM" episode where Apu and Homer climb to the top of a mountain in a failed attempt to get Apu his job back. I also agree with the Ice Rink, but haven't quite figured out where to put it at permanently and when I do, I will put the Pumpkin house in its place.
I do have the Escalator, Popsicle Skyscraper and Magnifying Glass and even recently brought the escalator out of storage (like yesterday), but they are all in storage as I do not want them blocking anything which tends to happen unless I have them on the top or right of town which is where I also have my terracing (though perhaps I could put the popsicle tower in place of the Mountain KEM).
I also agree SP needs more color and decorations. It is somewhat difficult with the way I laid it out with all the railings taking up an extra block of space meaning I can't put item up against them. That is what I think will be next on my redesigning as I try to make it more colorful (though I do love my long and mazed SP overall design)
