TOWN SQUARE
As soon as I had the plot of land at "dead center", I put Jebediah on it. That's when i paused building randomly and focused on acquiring land. I had to have it all so I could finally push the Power Plant far enough away to build a real Square with the sidewalks up the center as we've seen it, but of course doing it with our limitation of pavement being a standardized large size block!
I figured out that the Courthouse and Elementary had to have complimentary orientation, in order to match the camera's viewpoint of the animation in the HDOS. Most buildings fit in with this plan, except the Aztec Theatre which is quarter-turned. (That building needs 4 sides, and the LardLad needs to move across his parking lot) But Zesty's, KB, Android's D, and PQB's would face correctly this way.
I was waiting to see if Gil's latest deal would offer the Aztec, which is didn't, so I just now shelled out donuts for it. Finally! It looks awesome on the Square!
This HDOS shot shows Zesty's, AD, and Jebediah...
It's been the one bane of my efforts with this. Because this scene shows Moe's then the TV store. But we all know Moe's is next to King Toot's. This contradiction is a bitter pill.
Which is why you'd think I wouldn't have made such a big deal about building a route for Bart to skateboard from school so he could pass this point crossing the street! But I did it anyway. :D
