I'm All about the Zoom

Annathewicked · January 10, 2018 9:06PM

Moving into the new year, the one thing i Really, I mean REALLY want for Big changes to the game is Zoom.
Let us Zoom out farther pretty please.
Designing was always slightly annoying with the limited zoom, with the addition of more and more land town designing has become quite bothersome.
I would really like to see more, to know how close I am to the next section over, to see how things look next to each other in various places in town...

Please, Please, PLEASE - Let the Zoom out be an update to the game this year.

Be careful what you wish for. You could end up with extreme close up zoom like me. I can see about 3 buildings at a time depending on the size. It has completely stopped my ability to design.

I would like to be able to zoom out far enough to see my whole town, including Springfield Heights.

Much as I'd like it myself I'm not sure if any of the current mobile devices on the market currently would be able to render a a full Springfield, also depending on how the game is coded it might need need to be almost completely rewritten to do as you ask.

I don't ever expect to see the Full town... but more of it than we do.
I'd be happy with an extra 20% probably... It's just too hard to design in so much space with such a tiny sight window.
Other games can do it, I'm sure they could throw some money into making it happen

I had a glitch in my game which allowed me to zoom out really far (not the whole town but enough to see beyond the perimeters of the entire IRS upgraded tap all function). I had it for about two weeks and then it went back to normal. Those two weeks were brilliant! I was able to do some large 2d art and redesign my town with ease. Loved it.

Make this a feature purr lease EA

I had that zoom out feature also. (wont say if i do currently still or not) but i know the buildings at the edge of screen don't load right away.

I was hoping it was maybe a beta test or something for the future as I know a few others had it too...

The problem with lack of zoom has been around for some time and is usually down to the device downloading the wrong set of files as there's several different sets of files available eg. Tablet, phone, low resolution, high resolution so unfortunately probably not a beta.

I complain about this as well. Not as often as I do the item limit lol....but zooming out would be nice, not just for designing. But to take a better picture of a big area I've designed, because usually if its that big I usually have to take multiple screenshots because of the lack of zooming out.....which often means I have to put them together in PS.

I have stopped trying to design the mono-rail, because I can't find the other end of the track. I want to use more than one train, so I do not connect all stations, but want a more or less circular track, each train serving a certain area. But I started connecting to lose ends of different stations with each other, and then I stopped. Just because I can't zoom out far enough to see where tracks are going or where they come from. For many other reasons it would of course be useful, but that's my main problem.
