Aesthetics, Scrolling, Small Retail, Furniture and you....

[Doc Savage]

Some wonderments and suggestions after a good number of buildings.

-I'm wondering why outdoor art and plazas do nothing for Asthetics. It does pull in some visitors, but doesn't seem to do much for my building aside from the couple of challenge you can complete. I should see some green like I do for indoor stuff, shouldn't I..? Even if it's by design right now we don't, we should.

-Workers can sit in chairs and apartment dwellers can lie down in bed, so why can't anyone sit in lobby chairs or on plaza benches..?? Very odd to see all that hustle bustle and no one sitting down. Like ever... One of those little things that adds more than you would think.

-Why does small retail suck so badly..? It NEVER turns a profit. My latest project early on is pulling 200 plus visitors, has 150+ apartments and 120+ offices. I placed these in 2 different spots just to check numbers.

Left Ground Floor on the way to everything else:
Wine Store: 8
Tech Store: 3
News Stand: 7
Pharmacy: 7

Next to the Metro Station:
Quick Mart: 18
Flower Shop: 17

I had 4 big box stores cranking profits, 4 Medium stores holding their own nicely. These little "convenience" stores..? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Nichts. They should be doing just fine, but they act like thery're boarded up or only open for 5 minutes a day.

-Why are all the selection windows so small that you have to scroll through everything..? I must have done 20 creative ads for tennants because you can only see the top of the box in the menu. Scrolling for services is on the way to being an olympic event. There's a ton of big boxes with minimal information making me scroll when I shouldn't have to. PLEASE make this better.

-Please let me place two of something. Scrolling is doubly painful when I have to go back into the list and scroll again just to place another service. I can place multiple chairs, so I would have to assume something like this is already in there.

This really is a fun game, I like it very much. Sadly I have to stop because of all the tedious pick and place issues. Scrolling menus, digging into menus to get what you need, dragging line after line of utility. It all adds up.

Cheers..!

Hi! Thanks for the suggestions! The small retail stores are indeed bugged - but in a way that we can't fix quickly. Working on it and hope to have that ready soon. Once we get done with some bug fixes, we'll be announcing some feature updates, so stay tuned and keep the suggestions coming in. :)

I would like to see people be allowing to sit in lobby chairs, for sure!

I also have problem with the limitation where you cannot place a light sconce or wall lamp over the chair or cabinet, provided these are low enough to not reach the wall lamp, of course. I felt it kind of force me to waste space if I want to make a nice enough lobby because you can only place wall lamp next to a chair or cabinet instead of above them.

If the chair pic had a double with a lamp above it to choose from you could have it both ways. Chairs with the wall sconce, chair as they are. It's just visual from what I can see in the modding guides, should be do able.
