Auto stitching/panorama pic

Until Giuseppe creates this magical new tsto.me :D, the only way to get a panorama of your SF is to do it the old-fashioned way: take screenshots of your town and stitch them together manually with a program like Photoshop. This is time-consuming and somewhat frustrating.

First, you gotta get 80, 100, 120? (with all the new land, I haven't any idea how many it would take) individual screenshots. With each shot you need to wait for the heads-up display (money, donut count, task book, etc) to disappear. I've heard it's best to get them all in one sitting - if you accidentally exit out, switch apps, take a phone call, you may need to start over as apparently the zoom can change slightly when you return, causing discrepancies.

Assuming you've accurately covered your entire town and have all the screenshots, now comes the hard part: putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Easier said than done. You'll need: a computer, a program like Photoshop, and a lot of patience. Aligning each picture is crucial - messing up one section can easily create bigger problems on the other side of the map.

If you google "autostitch" I think there are programs that can assist with this process. Though they are not free and I've never used any of them and can't speak as to how well it would work.
