EA, please let us store the Homerlayas
I crammed mine in the furthermost corner I could. I'm pretty much right there with you in wanting to create the most realistic town I can. I'm stuck with money mountain because the payout is too good to pass up, but I usually either skip things like the fortress of choclitude or stash them away in my inventory.
Personally I'd probably keep the Homerlayas out, even if it does throw the realism off some, but I'm pro making things inventory-able so we have the last say in buildings our Springfields how we want (which is kind of the point of the game).

What else have you decided to store? While a "realistic" feel sounds good in concept, it seems like that would be extremely hard in this game as a lots of the content is not realistic.
Yeah, i like that idea.
I second this proposal so very much. Can we make this a poll, OP?
Though, to be honest I think literally EVERYTHING should be storable for the same reason (i.e. 'realism') and it bothers me when we get awarded with something that we can't store. I mean-- it's not like we could refuse said 'prize.' Mandatory buildings/decorations are the only true complaint I have about this game, actually. I also agree with you, OP, about how much I appreciate the game itself. I've played every single day for over a year and I still catch myself thinking "I really LOVE this game" on a monthly basis; if not more often.
So, please EA: make stuff storable if you have no good reason not to do so. We understand that storing Homer/Lisa/Simpson House might well break the game, and it's funny that the Lemon Tree isn't storable for obvious reasons. But there are quite a few examples of non-storable items that have no obvious explanation, and I suspect that any explanation EA might offer would be insufficient to justify their decision to keep certain things "unstorable."
For example:
**The Recycling Buildings (which generate 'special' currency) can be stored, but the Springfield Heights currency-generating buildings cannot.
**The Squidport Entrance cannot be stored, presumably due to its 'expansion' status; but what stops us from storing the Ornate Pier entrance?
I also think it's silly we can't store the Red Blazer Realty, but at least that sorta makes sense; with the whole Springfield Heights expansion being an ongoing thing-- maybe it's not storable for the same reason that the Squidport Entrance isn't???
no argument against the storage option.... but what isn't realistic about it? Not like there aren't real world examples of faces/heads/images carved into mountains.
For me at least it's not so much what's realistic vs what isn't, since it is all fiction - it's more like what's canon vs what's just been added to the game cause it's cool (and personally I think the Homerlayas are pretty cool, but it's not like they're something that shows up repeatedly in the show).
I've stored Death Mountain, Fortress of Lonelitude and the Re-Neducation Center among other things. Again, not that I don't think they're very cool -- and I enjoy seeing them placed in other towns. They just don't really "fit" inside the Springfield I've created. That may change in the future as I play, but for now I store overtly extravagant or mostly supernatural buildings/decorations.
(Although I will admit no Tapped Out Springfield will ever be truly "realistic" ... just something I generally lean toward)
I have stored so many buildings/decorations that I don't care to look them up and list them all here. I have done so in an effort to make my town as town-like as possible; without going too overboard on things like lampposts and stop signs. I'm still designing, since my mid-Casino-event nuke, but I am very proud of the design I've settled on and I'd prefer not to have mandatory items in it. The first selling point for this app, listed in the Play Store is something like "Create and maintain your very own Springfield!" While obviously no two town designs will be exactly alike, having mandatory pieces kills me from a creative standpoint.
seems cannon to me
Im really in the dark with this thing....I dont see it posted anywhere in the game????
