A Monorail Update Would Be a Terrible Idea...

I swear some people in this forum are so bloody odd :?

Completely agree.

It'd also be possible to allow a complete Monorail track to be built, but have it become see-through when it's over buildings/characters/decorations centered on the screen.

The see through effect is already in the game (when moving items its possible to make buildings and decorations see through for placement of items behind those items), so it should be simple to apply that to the Monorail, with some minor reprogramming to apply the see-through effect when moving over it. When it's to the side, top, bottom, or corner of the screen it'd be regularly visible.

Personally I just prefer they make the station and allow for placement of random, broken pieces of the track, since it only survived until the end of the episode anyway.



Also, to those who don't want to have the Monorail in their town, why deprive those who do want it (not that you control the content, but you know what I mean). It's entirely possible NOT to buy or place the Monorail if it's released. That way everyone gets what they want. Once again, it's a compromise. Come on folks, use a little imagination, there are a variety of ways they could viably implement it into the game.

I'm always amused by threads asserting that *possible* new content is automatically a bad idea. We know EA/the writers/devs/NSA/whoever read these forums. I'm confident they mostly do so for the lulz.

Here's my $.02, fwiw:

Instead of pre-emptively whining about as-yet non-existant content, perhaps it would be more constructive --sensible too, maybe? no, nevermind..-- to urge EA to bring us content that functions well within the existing framework of the game. Don't just shoot down an entire (and iconic) component of The Simpsons' universe because you think it'll upset your town's feng shui.

Despite the "I'm-Afraid-Of-EA's-Monorail Threads," the vast majority of millions players will appreciate and find a way to work with whatever content comes down the pipe, as usual, and the world probably won't end. js.

Happy Tapping!

Everyone on the forums should read (and apply) the advice given in this post. Well done, good sir. Were I the Queen of England, I would thereby knight thee.
