Neighbours copying your design?

I noticed a similarity in a neighbor's town, but I think it's cool. Constantly tweaking things in my town, though usually it's closer to the side where I can expand.

This question had perfect timing for me... thanks for asking.

I just answered a thread asking about underground parking. My first reaction was to think YES, I'll provide a link to the thread I posted them in.

Then I thought, hey that's like my only original 3-D design. They may copy it, do I want that?

But ironically, my above ground parking deck is one I copied from someone else, and have seen several like it. (Originally made of wooden fence, I made it mine by using concrete walls when they were just released)

I love my above ground parking deck and was glad to get the inspiration from another neighbor. So I certainly can share my underground design and hope to inspire others.

Creativity isn't competitive, it's cooperative. And I choose cooperation over competition every time.

I don't think anyone has ever borrowed from my designs but I wouldn't mind.
When I see something in a neighbors town I like to PM them here and ask if they mind if I use some of their ideas as inspiration. Luckily my neighbors are totally rad.

I would love it if people were copying parts of my town, but my town is s#*t :lol:
My second town doesn't even copy it. It's that bad!

I do stalk a few towns though like direwolf, hipmama, Ajtheboss, most of all mwdalton and neuro

Hmmm I wonder if the last two names kick me now :-)

Honestly I like all my friends towns and if something looks the same in my town....... I'm sorry I was an accident :wink:

I'm afraid I missed that. Love to see a pic. I just spent an inordinate time trying to figure out how to do an underground elevated platform. I know this is an usually silly question, but pics?

I always avoid Showcase when new content is released, and I feel especially silly in this case. (Seriously, thanks Barry!) A couple nights ago, I removed an underground train station from my town, and that's what I had in mind when I asked the question. This will sound obvious but tying to do more than one subterranean level at the same time is pretty tough!

OH sub-T levels are kinda different. i don't do those, because i design with an ultra-realism perspective, so sub-T is just a giant open pit to me. but i've seen some great ones, particularly with the SC stuff mixed with the CoC stuff. kinda reminds me of Activision's Pitfall, from Atari days of yore.

happy tapping!

I;ve had a couple of neighbours copy my KL, and also bits of my SF. Each neighbour has put their own stamp on it.

I've done the same, I think if you really like what a neighbour has done, it's ok to copy and change to suit our own tastes. :D

1 neighbor has copy my Krustyland (not all but large parts of it)

:P

@Barry

If i knew how to do 3d i would copie your mental hospital, very nice with willy :!:
