Total Redesign - Where to go from here?
I would start by categorising the different types of buildings, so you can have a basic idea on which buildings will be together. Example: Have all the museums together; channel 6, Krustylu Studios and Film Set together; an industry section; a housing area; etc. (you catch my drift)
Then decide on where you want these sections to be in your town. Another example: Have the shopping area in the centre of your SF; have the housing area on the outskirts and maybe have the industry close to the ocean/SP. (It is entirely up to you)
Then you can start laying down a grid with road or pavement. It would be easiest, if you start from your town hall and then work your way outwards.
A good tip you should keep in mind, is to leave open spaces all around your town for future buildings. For aesthetics you could fill those empty plots with parks, if you like.
And another good tip: Write everything down on paper, before you start designing, so you have a basic plan to follow.
I hope this helps you. If you need further inspiration for certain buildings, use the search function in this forum section and in the game discusion section. You will easily find "What have you done with your xxxxx" threads.

Another place to look for ideas is in the panorama thread that is a sticky at the top of this sub forum. From there you can get many ideas of how people set up their Springfields and hopefully use them to inspire your own.
I'd get busy doing some of your redesigning now. Once the update hits, the snow makes it that much harder to design.
You'll have to share some pics when your done or send a friend request. I'm curious what a redesign looks like that late.
Ended up with all of that in a corner. :?
Got my Halloween forest, town hall, park, slum and mansion boulevard done though.. would have made more sense to buy most of the remaining land yesterday rather than the escalator. Good night
Will also add you when I go back on in the morning
What he said :thumbup:
I did a total redesign and it was big task...
It took me a whole week, a few houses a day
First you need to have an idea of layout of your town (districts- estate area, center, district areas, parks etc..)
I would start with laying the roads and then design the areas...
It takes lot of work but you can do it
this is never ending task though
Good luck
Indy, if you are still up for an add please add me, my Origin name is the same as my forum name
Please don't judge anything yet though, I've only completed about 1/3 of the town. Not going to bother decorating until I get all the land as it is so much hassle trying to get everything in :oops:
