My tunnel was completely blocked by The Devil's Anvil, which I had to move somewhere, and I really don't know what to do now. That edge of Springfield was totally set. Never going to change. And of course here comes the stupid tunnel.
Mine was right behind Burns manor. I had to shuffle things to the side and squash them in a bit. Now i have a road leading to the tunnel.
I'm sure i will reorganise once things calm down....i want to wait before moving too much until the patch comes to fix lozt donuts.
I guess I lucked out having mine pretty much empty. That's the area I left open in case of new houses. Since all the new houses seem to be premium now, mine was just left blank. I do have to scoot them down a bit, since the fence line is covering part of the sign.
My wife came out very lucky. The tunnel lines up perfectly with a road she already had there. I had to move the Dog Track, which isn't a big deal. I left the parking lots for other buildings around there and shifted the dog track to some empty land I already had.
Yeah im gonna have to nuke to fix my town but thats kinda okay cause its a mess anyway but has anyone else noticed the tunnel doesn't line up on the opposite sideof the mountain range?
I don't have mine yet (still working on donuts), but I'm guess it's not in the "middle" and close to the waterfront because people will have different lengths of mountain unlocked depending on how far they are in the game (ie how much expansion they have). If they put it near the middle of a fully purchased SF land area, it's a good bet newer players can't access it until much later.
Which is why I maintain it should be movable. Treat it like a building, just make its placement limited to anywhere along the mountain range.
yeah, they proved they can do it with the SP entrance and the new beach stairs
Oh, I agree and would also love to have it movable - I'm just commenting on why it is so near the beachfront by default. Having said that I'm OK with where it happens to be. I have a dense forest there, and clearing a path should be a "walk in the park".
In my main town, it worked out well. It was between Wolfcastle's Mansion and Fat Tony's compound. I just had a bunch of nuclear waste piled up there. In my feeder, it was in the middle of a lake so kind of weird seeing Homer blow it up while standing in the lake.
Actually mine lined up with an existing road that ended in a cul-de-sac. I thought its placement was responding to where I had a road meeting the mountains. Guess it was just coincidence! I removed the loop, made it straight, and it couldn't be a better fit for me. Lucky!
One thing I noticed, the road seems to line up better if you place it one square UP (or back?) on the SH side. It seems to help the illusion of "going uphill" through the tunnel.
Also noticed new palm trees go ANYWHERE, not just on sand. Nice!
All my designs look unfinished because i can't place as many plants, streetlights, and fences as i would like. PLEASE REMOVE THE LIMIT, EA!
Mine ended up directly behind My Zenith City Times building. Not too terribly difficult to move, but I did have a whole little area going there. It really doesn't matter to e though, because after the quick succession of updates and events, my Springfield looks like Ralph Wiggum designed it....
mine popped out (on the SF side) right on the edge of my Amusement Park... will have to make some moves at some point, but Im to busy now building furniture!

Ugh, I liked having my industrial stuff along the mountains starting by the beach...
things worked out
