Gardens??

Do you have a garden?

This is my 3rd attempt at 3D and it only took me several hours, lol. If I ever release grandpa from his wrestling ring, I'm going to sit him on one of the "stairs".

Wow! It's almost wasted as a garden, it would make an awesome Isotopes Stadium! I'm going to go in and take a closer look...

Thank you @ psukegreen

MW - I actually kept thinking "this looks more like a stadium, this should be a stadium" but I tore apart a ho-hum garden to build a better one so I was determined to make this into a garden!! LOL

I don't mind people "borrowing" my ideas and making them better. Feel free to borrow to make a stadium, can't wait to see it. It's actually hard to make it go "down", you naturally try to build up. That was what took so long, I kept having to move the hedges so the angle would be down.

Ooh I love it! I love the whole 3d effect, haven't yet seen it with brick walls but it looks real great!

Haha, Garden, or bust! :)

Nah, I don't have the land yet, (I'm saving for the Tower, and then I want to be able to buy all the rest of the land in one fell swoop), or the creativity to do a stadium justice, like you have. :)

On the topic, I have two humble garden areas, one in Burns Manor, and one in a Valentines theme, (which I didn't really have enough space to spread out how I'd like).

MW - I bought all the remaining land in one swoop. Blew through millions, lol. Then the game kept crashing, biggest mistake ever. I'm glad it's stable now.

Problem is that I've gotten used to being spread out and it makes adding anything new really hard. I have to squeeze things together and I don't like doing that since I've gotten used to all the space.

I'm hoping they give us more land at some point. My residential area is starting to get crowded.

I like what you did with the Burns garden and can't wait to see your stadium.

Yeah i totally agree with you 3d effects take up so much freaking time and there is no telling how they will look once finished i just finished one 3d effect and it took countless tries and nearly well alot of cash wasted because at one point I totally lost my vision in my head I was so tired, but your came out so well done, seeing it makes me want to perfect mine more :twisted:

Nice. I really like well done 3D effects.

I'd probably try to do more in my town, if I had more space.

Yeah, I was thinking that, there's a few things you'd need to do it justice. Who knows, they may even release an official Isotopes Stadium in the near future.

LOL I was thinking if we ever get the stuff to make a stadium? Even just dirt! I could easily change the hedges to benches and make this a stadium. You can use the chain link fences as goals. I just want something that looks more like markings than the green shrubs before I make a stadium.

I just like it when I figure out something to do with those god awful brick walls.

Using the brick walls around the outside was clever. Really adds something to the usual hedge work. Outstanding!

Makes me wonder if anyone has built a tower or pit entirely with brick walls... would it work? ...are they the wrong shape? ...would it be way too much brick wall?
