Gulp and Brow and Krusty Burger, have drive thru windows, but in so may towns, people place those buildings so that the drive-thru is virtually obstructed.If there is a feature added that has cars, or a quest... How would you access the drive thru?Or am I just being to picky of a city planner?Ehrmmmm...think I'll just wait until such cars or quests exist to worry about this. But..thanks for bringing it to my attention?

I noticed the drive-thrus too and put enough pavement around them that my imaginary cars could use them. :)

For the Krusty Burger I took the drive through into account. Still have to do it with Gulp n Brow, but Ill wait till the snow melts before I add any new decorations.Still, people should do with their town whatever they like :)

I usually incorporate the drive-thrus....otherwise I feel incomplete

I didn't ignore the drive thru with either buildings. the GnB might look like it because I have it up against the wall, but it's in the small detail. I have a path for an imaginary car to drive up, curve around the parking lot to get to the window. It doesn't have a order box so it doesn't need a wrap around the building thing. I view it like the drive thru liquor stores I would go to, they just have a window you pull up to.

I didn't stress about the drive thru too much. Originally, I just used pavement to represent the drive thru. But I recently moved both the Krusty and Gulp n' Blow and got a little more serious. By playing with roads, I was able to made lanes with a median to separate the drive thru from the road.Looks nice. Assuages my need for verisimilitude. All good.

Why do you ignore the drive thru?

How dare you use big words that I don't understand. I'm a college graduate yet I suddenly feel really dumb

Yes, but did you graduate with two incredibly useful degrees in history?

In my imaginary story, the buildings were made with drive-thru windows, but they've since been abandoned when the proprietors realized the town had no cars.

(That's also why my buildings have a maximum of 2 parking spaces each.)

I'd worry about it, except I don't see any cars.......
