Got a little bit more tarting up to do when I buy the adjacent land but it's a start. It's left me with a dilemma now though. I want more motors but they cost doughnuts arrrggghhhh. Also only the channel 6 van and an ambulance to choose from. Come on EA give us a few more like Homers car.

Quoting to show image.

Edit, hmm, that didn't work. 640x480 seems to work best.
Edit2. Resized/rehosted it for you.

How come it doesn't show normally? Is this another EA foible?

looks pretty good. how is that a petrol station though, exactly?

also, i've thought of doing something similar but i find that i use those hedges waaay too much.. i do like the fence with the garbage bin though.

No, just a little too large to show it without scrolling. Althought when I quoted it scrolling didn't seem to work, so I resized it for you.

'New' forum users can't post images. You need to be 'promoted' for that - search the forum for promoted and you'll find the discussions.

OH! I'm stupid. I see it now. If I had a suggestion, I'd remove the hedges on the side where the bench is at.

Many of the stores like walmart, sam's club, costco, also sell gasoline in parts of the world, including the US.... I was going to add some pumps to mine as well. Already have pumps at the Quickie Mart

Did think about that, to extend the fence all the way to the edge. Hmmm will give it a bash.

That is sweet of you, Tony. Here's a tip I use - I just remove the image from the quotes, and post it underneath. So long as the quote is above it, I figure people get the idea.

That's so cute. I bet you measure it in liters too, no?

Just like you guys that call it gas despite it being liquid and also actually called petroleum.

Well if you want to get technical, petroleum is crude oil which the gasoline that you actually use in your car is derived from. Just sayin'.

So it is gas and not petrol... good to know when I'm right! Thanks nickfantinat!

I say, jolly good effort! One of the best I've seen.

Nice. I have my gas station at Kwik-e-mart. I like the idea of having a car in the gas station.

mattyspurs639

Updated it slightly, think it looks better now. What do you reckon?



Can a promoted person quote this so people can see please.

I've finally built one myself, so here it is:



Also, there are not a lot of screenshots in here and I haven't seen any "What have you done" topics regarding any gas/patrol station extravaganza, so big fat BUMP as well

Looks good Erik, maybe put a vehicle by the pump?

Here's mine...

henn3001

from the gas pumps right into a brick wall. how kind of you. you should built a car repair shop next to it, for maximum profit. :P
