Who here actually tries?

I've taken a lot of time to make my Springfield "make sense"... a residential area, shopping area, public services area, etc. still waiting to put together my industrial area, rich neighborhood, and prison.

:shock: people have messy towns?. My husband and my 3 sons have messy towns bugs the life out of me but ive remodeled them all once and its sooooo time consuming. One son is 5 so I will let him off lol, but the other 2 should know better!.

My husband said only woman have nice towns and men plonk things anywhere..........he has been corrected with pictures from this site.

My town is nice and all roads lead somewhere and I have flowers(my husband has no flowers) most of my houses have gardens. I'd live there but would need more shops and a money tree as there is no bank :wink: .

I'd hazard a guess that most of the active folks on this forum have towns with a pretty reasonable layout. I had a couple of neighbors with chaotic towns like you describe, and I ditched them after a while. Those folks also tend to be the ones who never visit other towns either. Who needs 'em?!

This is for you and the OP together: You see, some people didn't start this game when it was first released. We have to play catch up. In this case, it is FAR better to complete the quests and build buildings and unlock characters FIRST, as this will generate more money in the long term. AFTER a steady flow of money, THEN will we have to buy the land, and FINALLY will we be able to decorate.

Keep in mind that EA also adds content quite fast, so for those of us who didn't have fat wallets of in-game cash, that slows us down even more.

I have now soon played for four months, and I am very active. I have come to the part where I am trying to save up a bit of money for the next update, and at the same time, I am also trying to buy some of the land spots. This has taken a lot of time, and I want to have enough room to decorate. Therefore decoration is the last thing I will do.

I also want to add that I don't housefarm myself, but I understand why some do, as that can get them a bit faster through the steps I just outlined.

So, there you have it!

I give it a red hot go. :wink:

I can't stand house farmers. I'm rid of all the ones I had as I slowly replaced them with people on the forum. There are a few that do farm here and I am only keeping them if there town has something else to offer (Tiger is an example, no way I'm deleting him!). But my policy is if you level up to the current level and still look like a farm, your gone. Anyone that tries to send me a random friend request and by chance I do accept, if it's a farm, I delete immediately. Once I'm rid of a few current farms, never again do I plan to look at one. I also don't understand why people just drop houses and do nothing with them. Just doesn't make any sense to me.

I never farmed to level up. I do have some multiples of houses because if would never look like a city otherwise. I just always spread it out and I decorated pretty much from the beginning. Even my maze, once I moved it and made a forested area, now make sense.

I struggled my way to level 33 without house farming because I was always striving to have the best looking Springfield I could possibly create.

So. I try. Hard :)

Here's a few pics from my town, I've tried to make it look as realistic as possible, but it's not an easy task.

:thumbup:

I think I do, I may have a bit of a house farm but I try to make them into accutal houses in a town.
