Perhaps you have seen this before but I did feel pretty darn good when I came up with how to make north facing seats to the Open Air Stage :P

I used the boardwalk bench for seating and the boardwalk wooden fences to create the backrest.



Rest of my Springfield is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o8b13dkvh9bnax4/fullmap20130711.jpg

Cheers!

Superb! I've been trying to think of an idea for front facing seats for the stage and there it is! Well done sir. I shall have to yoink that if you don't mind.

My badminton court uses repurposed garbage cans and fences as a net

Awesome! Too bad we don't have better objects to create lines like this. Perhaps the smallest flower bed is suitable to make lines?

It's not exactly repurposing, since I've used fences as fences, but I tried to recreate this look:

I have a few other people have done similar things so not all my ideas




Used the boardwalk benches as steps they seem to work better whenever I do steps also the parking meters as binocs on the dock to left of Lisa statue




Created a more elaborate fountain and used the cobblestones as an entrance to the Popsicle tower




Burning bush as camp fire whacking day stands as tents for camping cement plus fence for a bridge



Just a hammock?



Now apart of the forest

This thread restores my faith in the forums. No complaining, just 100% creativity!

There is some amazing stuff on the thread so far. Love that ancient Pyramid, makes me want to give 3D a go

Many people do this, but thought I'd add it.
I like to use the debris that we are supposed to get Lisa and Homer to clean up in different ways.
Like using the white containers as beer kegs:

One of my favourites from my map is using the bomb shelter as a re-enforced armoured entrance to access the black hole:

^^ Love the use of the bomb shelter. I would totally use that if I had the Black Hole.

I also like using debris in my design. I thought the "kegs" would be appropriate as planters at Duff.

When you copy and paste you can get rid of that part you only need [ img ] image.com [ /img] part to get pic

I don't know how to post pictures, but I have made an aisle for a wedding behind church with valentine items (trees, arch, roses)
