    Need to do the run-through after the city is occupied, and in the sunshine (not rain) and without the targetting reticle though!

    So sorry about the audio. I recorded this off my desk computer. I will take this into account for future screen captures.

    BRITTANY UPDATE: MORE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES

    Brittany keeps on expanding folks. 30 more player lots were added to the South portion of the city. Most of these new areas of housing are along Cotton Road, Old Holtrop Road and Jennings Byway.
    Below we can see a Before and After comparison of the area I am referring to.

    New lots that were added include:
    1 City
    1 Town
    1 Village
    27 Row

    Gotta catch them while their hot!

    Well, its nice there are more homes but it killed my #1 lot pick in the entire game. I'll just pretend someone else got it before me and focus on my backup locations :D

    @SorcerousSteve See these tree median whatever they're called in the middle of the walkway? Especially the one blocking the main path to the city? Just no. They need to go bye bye. I like my trees and foliage as much as the rest of humanity but they are literally just in the way.

    @Link_of_Hyrule ,

    My personal opinion is they're not in the way, but feel in the way because they start so abruptly,
    [​IMG]

    However, if the two on the end each had their outward facing side tapered outward like this,
    [​IMG]

    It would feel less abrupt, and more natural to move into one of the two lanes. (More of these types of small finesses I think would make some of the other cities look more unique, too, IMO).

    Its actually a really nice area to walk through, though; it creates a nice space. If not a little too narrow a road once you get closer to the top of the slope. It of course changes what you imagine the road can be used for, especially with some of the narrow points. It would be hard for wagons to come down that road, for instance. Which I guess depends on what they're after, of course; so not necessarily a criticism.

    At least move the one blocking the path I think.

    @Link_of_Hyrule,

    Yea, if the one on the end weren't there at all... or it were further inward so there were some space in the street before it began, or further outward, too, so it was poking out.

    But the fact that it starts right as the lane starts is what feels strange.

    Then, further down, yea, the lane on the right feels very narrow.

    I didn't find one, but there are several buildings where one might go. The NPCs are all generic at the moment, so I was expecting that to wait until after they get a pass. However, check near the southwest gate to find a NPC building with a generic villager, which is made up very similarly to the NewYou in Ardoris.

    Ah, I found that.
    When I did my rounds, I didn't notice her in the shop. Perhaps I just overlooked her.
