Do your neighbors (and your yourself) a favor...

I put everything anyone needs in SH for the event and have a pretty small street. I hope it's easy for my friends.

Forget that. I worked hard on my Springfield.

I completely redo my streets for every event. This time it is for good instead of evil.

I redid all of mine. I am much happier when my neighbors do the same. I have 2 neighbors I stopped visiting because I couldn't find anything due to the streets and how many buildings were thrown haphazardly around.

Also, if you're going to do this, please make sure the road is VISIBLE! I have a few neighbors with tetris towns who have cleared all but one road, but the buildings overlap the road so much that I can't actually see it. Zombies and Skeletons show their heads, but snakes and rabbits are impossible

Also, if you must do this, make sure there is enough road that all the characters aren't bunched up on top of each other. I have a couple of neighbors who did this, but you can't tell where snakes and bunnies are because all of their characters are wondering around the same 10 sections of road. I have less trouble finding things to tap in places with a lot of road as long as the buildings don't overhang every piece of roadway. My advice is leave enough road for things to spread out and don't over decorate (at least along roads).

For me at least there is no benefit visiting friends. The friends visit on this event is the most time consuming (besides whacking day) and the gains don't justify it. Reaching the event goals is beyond easy. I'm still dropping cthulus in peoples towns but that's about it.

I actually don't like this at all, I had a few neighbours do this in previous events and having to search all over the town looking for the road section as it often was hidden by buildings or nowhere near the landing zone and finally the worst was about 2 road sections with some one hundred and sixty character wandering about in it and you couldn't see anything to tap.

Can I make an addendum to this? If you do pave over your streets, leave your streets near your freaking landing zone so we're not searching all over for it!

If you can drop a Formless Terror it will take you right to the street section. I sometimes do that just to jump around towns hoping that where I land will have some Nightmares to tap.

Just remembered... If you do start replacing street, you'll want to leave some near places you have people tasked on short time tasks. Like the SH buildings and the recycling buildings. That keeps them from wandering off to get on the roads.

I moved all Heights and recycling buildings into what I call my "Action Zone". It's got whatever buildings are important to the current Event, my fast regenerating buildings like the Brown Houses (which are in storage now as they're unneeded for visitor tapping), my Kwik-E-Mart, etc. Makes it all easy to find.

When an event is over I move the obsolete event stuff somewhere else and then I have room for whatever's new without having to rearrange my town.
