And that’s it my friends! What are your thoughts on the new mini-event? Thoughts on the prizes? Which is your favorite? Locations in your Springfield? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
Yeah, scale has always been an issue in this game. The best approach I’ve found is to put buildings of the same scale in the same “neighborhood” as each other. I also tend to put the tallest building near the mountains.
That’s a good idea. It’s still bugging me. I am working as an illustrator and these kind of details are very important so I am always wondering why no one of the EA illustrators seems to care. 🤔
I think part of the problem they face is that, if everything were to scale, something like the Simpson’s house would have to be teeny weeny to be able to have a skyscraper or a big mail building in the game, too. However, there’s no reason why, say, different houses should be at vastly different scales, though, although of course it makes sense that a mansion would be larger than a brown house, for example. I do think they could do a somewhat better job at paying attention to scale than they’re doing, but I also recognize that they’re facing some really challenges that would preclude them from really doing everything to proper scale.
You’re right. I love this game because of the amazing details and how you can build your own Springfield. 😍🥰
I love all the prizes! I was just surprised about the unproportionally big size of the Hudson‘s house. At first I placed it next to Springfield library until I find a suitable place and the library looks like a doll house next to it…
Same with some of the Springfield Heights buildings. I wish we could resize some buildings…
