Very helpful. So how do I get the cool tiered effect I see in other people's towns?

An additional tip-in, here is TotalTapper's 3D guide:

It really comes down to time and patience. Since EA implemented the new "buying" system where your next object is laid out for you, it has actually become pretty easy to create those designs. Prior, when you bought your hedge/fence/etc, the next one would just pop up in the middle of the screen and XP would clutter your attempts to place the objects in the right spot. I made this design during in a feeder town whilst watching a 3 1/2 hour baseball game:

I've seen all kinds of awesome 3D designs in neighbor's towns and in the Showcase section on these forums.
