Amazing put together of those towns! I have to admit I'm jealous. I will soon be requesting friendship with those, if not already. I am a fan of yatzilla, just today I took a couple screenshots to post and applaud but you beat me to it!
Also very nice to see jofre's town all put together.
Edit: i guess youll have to copy and paste to see it
I may be crude but don't ever refer to anything here as a concentration camp. That is effing wrong and insensitive.
A concentration camp is basically somewhere prisoners are held in bad conditions. There have been countless camps throughout history in pretty much any country you can think of. Did you see District 9? most of the movie took place in a concentration camp for aliens. I wasnt trying to imply anything beyond that.
Not knocking you but Jewish people are highly offended by this. Slavery has existed since the dawn of time but it is no excuse for me making a derogatory statement and then citing history to defend said statement.

this conversation is very unnecessary in this thread, nobody here is trying to offend jewish people, we should all just move on
May I add something to this question of the concentration camps?
I know it's a game and it's not real life, and the characters in it are not real people (and they never were in the series), but I have to admit that I feel uneasy when I see cities where all of them are walking in a few road blocks.
It is certainly easier to for the gameplay (you don't have to scroll all your city to assign them tasks, and you don't risk to forget anyone), but I feel sorry for those poor creatures - you may call me naive and childish.
I can't think to concentration camps with ease, and I understand the remark of joshhuffman.
That said, some of my neighbours have really great cities. My favorite are the one of Rynan1981 and the one of thejudd67 with the maze. I moreover want to mention laburrito's Springfield, which is in comparison much smaller and has no premium items, but it's designed with attention to the smallest detail.

So how do you feel about the halloween update description in the app store where it says "enslave earthlings with Kang"? Do you get offended by it or think EA is making some sort of statement about a certain race or particular historical incident?
I dont view the noun concentration camp as intrinsically derogatory, unusable, or tied to a particular historical time. My camp was somewhat inspired by those kooky conspiracy nuts who think FEMA is building concentration camps. I have one in my life and have heard hours of ravings about them. If you dont know what I'm talking about consider yourself lucky. If you are a glutton for punishment, here is a wiki about it: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/FEMA_concentration_camps.
I'm not even going to bother going back in the threads and seeing where this "slavery/racism" discussion started, but it's not appropriate for this board. If you want to argue about race, slavery, and politics- go to youtube.
There's always that one person that has to drop the race/religion card no matter what the topic is about. It's a got damn game for eff sake. Get over it.
I'm assuming you are also protesting any war game that has troops killing virtual Muslims also?
And I'm also assuming that you'd never make Apu do the 7 day shift at the Quik E Mart because its against labor laws?

fair enough, I think your point has been clearly understood.

I think I have a really nice Springfield, and I deleted almost all of my friends because they were either hoarding, or due to inactivity.
If you'd like to see a well-thought out Springfield AND you put effort into yours as well, add me
