I've been building mine as a roughly accurate duplicate of the original Springfield, too. It's going we'll so far but I need more space.I've been using this image as a referencehttp://images.wikia.com/simpsons/images/f/f7/Map_of_Springfield.png

This is pretty cool, thanks for this - also provides a good sense of how many new buildings EA could potentially add (I can't find the Springfield sign though).Obviously the scale on this map compared to the game is way out (by this map 7 houses are the same width as the town hall!) but there's still some good stuff here. Glad to see that King Toot's is next to Moe's!...also this has made me really want a Monorail in a future update - they can use the Lard Lads Donut to stop it when it inevitably goes wrong. And surely the Escalator to Nowhere will have to show up at some point!

I've started to change my plan to just stick to the different area positions (ie. housing area, industrial area, forest, etc) and just put the buildings in whatever manner I choose within those areas. It means you can still get your town looking good.Sent you and add.I've been using the same map for the past month or two to setup my Springfield.As you said, it's tough proportion wise to fit everything in. I make slight adjustments and have some extra houses here and there for revenue until I earn enough to expand and make an Evergreen terrace neighbourhood.Interested to see how others compare.Feel free to add me if you're doing the same

I've just realised that the map puts Lard Lad Donuts blocks away from the Monorail track! That's not even consistent with the one episode that includes the (working) monorail which is also one of the most prominent appearances of Lard Lad.Curse you innaccurate map!

Please excuse the mess around the edges as I try to expand, it's taking a while :)Just looked, you have so much more room than me!You're powerplant over the river area is better than mine, mines all squashed in.The observatory collider annoys me, couldn't find it on the map. So I tend to move it dependant on where new buildings come into play.

Ill send you a inv let me know what you think of mine

Does that penultimate image show Skip's diner next to the android's dungeon? If so I need to rearrange my high street!

I refuse to accept any image that shows King Toot's anywhere but next to Moe's! (even though that's not even the case in the opening credits!)

You're right - I checked the game Virtual Springfield and they were next to each other! Across the street is a Krusty Burger.

Well, I'm sure trying. It is, of course, impossible to be completely screen accurate since the town changes on the needs of an individual episode. But, with the map (sadly out of date now) and screening the show on DVD, Blu-Ray and broadcast television, I am doing my best.

I have trouble spots and some stuff is pressed together either due to land expansion waiting or waiting for stuff to unlock or to save up for dounuts, but I'm pretty proud of my attempts. Feel free to ask for a friend invite, swing by and take a gander. Always open for suggestions and tips.

Oh, and something to chew over: the haircut place is on the map in the European section of the city, by Luigi's, but the Simpsons wiki says it is actually a single haircut shop that has had name changes, which would shift the building over to by Town Square. What say you, nitpickers of Springfield?
