Gogators – First off, your screen name and allegiance to Florida is your biggest issue, as a UGA alum it was difficult for me to even add you, but I like your idea of sharing thoughts on towns. Mine is ever changing as I try to update it and so taking pictures would be a waste of time for me. Here is my critical review..

First off the neighborhood is OK but way to big, its basically a house farm with character. Your Evergreen Terrace however is very nice. I do like that its all together and that something that still bothers me about my town. At some point maybe you could split the houses to different sides of the town. As for your strip mall, its not bad but I would like to see it broken up a little, in my opinion having everything pushed together like that takes away from some of the detail you can add to each building. I like 5-6 shops together at most, but that’s just me. NorthEast Springfield needs some more work but its obvious you are still under construction there, I actually like to see some planning efforts so keep working on that one. Generally I don’t like to see people with a million premium items, but yours isn’t overdone with them so I assume you acquired them honestly and they don’t take away from your town. All in all its not bad and you have a lot of land to work with to continue to improve it.

I would love some feedback on mine as well. I have never bought a donut and most every mystery box or Buddha has been a bust but I put a lot of thought into each area of the town to make it nice and logical.

Thanks, fellow SEC fan. I'm actually not that far away from UGA these days, I live in Clemson. Beat the snot out of them next season, won't you?

The neighborhood is one of my biggest problems, but I'm trying to keep a small town aspect which is hard given what we have to play with. Yeah, it's farming a bit I guess, but I need money :D I think I'll eventually try to recreate my neighborhood. I like the design and I think it could work with the house placement.

As for the strip mall, I was trying to recreate Waterford Lakes a bit, an area in Orlando I used to frequent. I need to redesign it for sure, and will try and do that this weekend. I'm still not sure what to do with the Burns Mansion, so the strip mall will get an overhaul. I'll probably have to rid the forest maze, but I think it will be worth it.

I'm trying to have a small storyline with every area, that's why I have things lumped together the way I do. It's a much better starting point than last week, but I like your advice and will try and implement spreading some things out. You actually just gave me a great idea for the Burns Mansion :D

Your town looks great. I think some of the housing placement is a bit off, I don't like houses next to libraries or other non-housing buildings but that's just one man's opinion. I like the detail of the brown houses in the NE corner with the trees. I also really like your Burns Mansion layout. Great job so far.

Looking good so far. I like the layout so far, especially the church and Evergreen terrace. The school and prison still needs work. And how are the pink houses supposed to go shopping across the river when there's no path for them to get there? Dude, those people are starving to death! :lol:

Thx for the feedback I agree with wot u sed about the prison and skool.do u have any idea on wat I could do to improve them btw let the people stave at least they have water to drink thats clean-ish

Take a look at my school, I like the way it's set up... looks more fun for the kids, ya know?

The prison has so many different possibilities. I've seen multiple barbed wire fences surrounding it. The SoS is cute, but IMO, takes away from the prison atmosphere. Maybe throw some burning bushes in the yard..make it vile and nasty looking, ya know? I'm still working on my island prison and will get to it eventually.

Just my thoughts, not saying I am perfect :D

:D thx for advice i c wat u mean about the prison ill change asap.U are 99 % perfect
