Jarci's Springfield Grades

Thanks for my rating (C+), but can I ask what your grading criteria is?

What are the things that push your ratings higher? Originality? 3D effects? Lots of decorations? Realism?

The criteria was posted above. In all honesty, C+ was pretty harsh for your town as it is really nice (perhaps, B- is more appropriate based on the level of detail). The reason for the grade (and a lot of others disappointing grades by other users) is around clutter. EA made it way too expensive to buy land and because of this you have everything jammed together. Your Mr. Burns house is really nice but let me ask you a question: wouldn't it be nicer if there was more room? Wouldn't it be nicer if the putt-putt golf course didn't back on to the side? It would be pretty easy to get to a B with your town

Thanks for the constructive, honoust feedback.

I usually wait until the game gets updated before I buy any new land

I added about 35 additional people. Here are a few comments:

bennyticklez - We can't wait to see what you do next. Fantastic town!
bluehill1 - We honestly love your style. Too bad you don't have premium items. I sense big things coming from you in the future (once you get all the land).
am4692 - Beauty and the beast? You have absolutely amazing parts of your town and other parts...
RockALittl3 - Tough town to grade. Very good execution.
Rynan1981 - Great town! Just a few things holding you back. One long road?
lewisbyrom - We are looking forward to see you with a more finished town. Too bad about the lack of money (house farm).

Be aware that if you add me and you are level 0-20 you are almost certainly going to get an F or D. I don't really see anyway around it but prove me wrong!

Some really fantastic towns submit over the last couple of days. Some true artists are out there!

Well, thanks neighbor! I'm honored to have a B+, especially since my east side is (obviously) under redevelopment!

Are you all of "the judges?" It's still good, but just asking.

Thanks, B+ not bad. I think I know what parts let me down. I'll have to work on them and resubmit my SF.

Once again thanks to all the judges that took part in grading my SF.

PS:- please continue to grade SF's.

I think I have a lovely little town :D and would love a grade.

Thanks for the A! :D Nice to see that all the effort doesn't go unnoticed.

I made a few changes to my town as per the advice given, wouldn't mind a regrade now! Lol

Lol what makes me laugh is that people really think there are a panel of judges haha. This is just some girl, bored in her room. People are sheep and they will follow.

Here is the OP's town:

Here is my town the OP gave a (unsolicited) C-

Personally I like my town better and I don't see anything so amazing about the OP's town that makes it make sense that so many of you would want their opinion. But I guess if you want someone's random opinion....

Your town is an A+ in my book. Great work, Zoe. My favorite part is your dock that Homer Mr. Plow is "mowing". I also like your water circle by the prison.

+1, I love the originality of it.
