COMPLETE Overhaul of your Springfield
I have overhauled certain large sections, but never the whole thing! My advice would be:
-- put all the decorations into storage to get them out of the way so you can shuffle buildings around more easily
-- have a general plan in mind for residential/commercial/industrial areas and work in sections
-- spend time roaming your friends' Springfields for inspirtion
-- once you have your general placement of buildings and roads, go ahead and place your trees/decorations
-- tweak as necessary
Luckily, I bought land from the beginning and kept an eye on what what coming so I always had a place in mind for where I would place buildings. This meant that I had streets around empty blocks of land for quite some time... but they slowly filled in. Now, there is new content that I hadn't planned for and I am going to need to shift things around. I can't have Channel 6 right in the middle of my residential zone!
Have fun!!
