Why don't you design your town?

I said this in the last thread and its still true now I was getting buildings much faster than I was getting space to put them in so I had to build my town this way. Of course now I'm a little ahead on space so going to nuke and rebuild after the event ends.

Though I do design my town, when this subject came up recently one person said something along the lines of, "This is a Simpson's game, not Sim City. I want to see the characters." Having just one or two roads means the bulk of your characters are all together and easy to find.

Not the way I go, but a good reminder that people see the point of the game in different ways. :)

I was communicating with one guy who was on level 41 or so. TSTO apparently runs slowly/laggy on his phone if he has too much stuff placed, so every so often he nukes the town and restarts. As such, he hasn't been bothering to build roads and design in general. Crazy.

I have 1 neighbor with no designs, he just buy all and place it next to eachother.
He speed up all quests and buy all with donuts.
Does not visit, but I keep him because:
He makes great walktroughs and I see all new buildings/deco from the first moment its released.

Gues who? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

No roads means all of your characters congregate in one spot, which makes it extremely laggy on my phone.

Maybe their lack of design by your definition, is how they had designed their town based on their vision?

It's not your town, so why do you even care?

I nuked and haven't had time to redo the whole town yet. I have buildings in clusters set back from roads and pavement so that I (and my neighbors) have a clear view of the characters and criminals walking around.

:lol:

Ok, seriously, I wonder myself, but there were some interesting replies in this thread that provided some food for thought. My gf plays TSTO and her city is just a pile of buildings haphazardly placed wherever there was space upon their release. I think the only road segment she has was the one required by that early quest task during the tutorial.

I dislike seeing her town every time I visit. I wish she'd make a city to enjoy. She's creative and could do well, so I don't really understand... I've asked her why she doesn't spend effort to design a proper town, and at first the answer varied about how she didn't have the necessary money/real estate, now it's that she doesn't have time/inclination to nuke and start over (which is what she'd basically have to do) and/or she doesn't want the pressure of comparing her town to mine or some of our other playing friends who have nice towns.

I think mostly she's in the boat of BeLikeTheBoy's post, where she mostly plays to read the quests. To be clear she's not 8yo, though. lol

I agree, I have a few neighbors whom I have had for a year or so, and at first I thought they were redesigning or something, but they never did, just random stuff all over the place, no roads, if and when i get neighbor requests from a forum regular, they are the ones I remove to make space

I designed some of my town a while ago, then an event started (I believe Halloween) so I just put the buildings out in a random area. I keep meaning to make it look less...Trashy, but until the event ends and we get a small break, I'll do it then.
