I love towns that use water like this. I've always wanted to, but the idea of re-arranging everything to make it work is too much for me. I had a hard time doing a mini re-arranging of the jail to put in the middle of water on its' own. Great work though, I'm jealous!
Excellent well designed town, superb use of 3d effects and the water. You should be very proud of it. You should only tweek the design when new buildings come. You don't been to change it substantially at that point.
As a neighbor, I have to say that Morpurglar's SFs is one of my favorite to visit. It's one of maybe 10 that I tend to scan the whole thing, looking for new stuff and seeing what he/she is up to.
I have meant to pm you to let you know how amazing your town has become. I have seen the rebuilding of it over the last couple of months, and I absolutely love it.
For sure, I am going to redo all of Squidport and the Christmas area. I am probably also going to re-design the mall area, if not all of downtown.
In general, I'm trying to make everything look wide open and not cramped. I've tried to achieve this by using fewer roads and more water and 3D. I should say that a lot of it (esp the 3D effects) was inspired by some awesome designs by Mokkabee, Pharrah2003, Corkhopper, and Mitzytaz -- see petergeenen's thread to view their amazing work.
Thank you in advance for any comments / suggestions you have! Even nit-picky stuff would be helpful.
Wow! Your SF rocks.
I feel like a tool but you said to nit pick.
I would move your volcano lair over to the forest in the corner. It seems out of place where it is.
The other thing that doesn't seem right is your island with the steps. Those steps can't be there in my opinion.
Guys, thanks so much for the kind words! I truly appreciate it.
Besides Squidport, I will try to keep the changes to a minimum until the next content update. I haven't been crazy about SP since the Mayflower came out. I think it could look more like a port for boats rather than simply a platform for shops.

No worries at all, I appreciate the criticism--that's how I improve things.
The island with steps was my attempt at a car tunnel that ends at the Asia de Cuba. Did anyone buy it?
I redesigned the top of my map and made some smaller changes to the mall, residential areas, and a few other spots. What do you think? Does the 3D work?

Cool to see the whole thing in one image.
