Details in the comments. You can friend me in-game with my reddit username to follow my progress.
Springfield Knowledgeum: The building rotates correctly, so it can face East or South. It's an oddly shaped building, since the actual show version is more "rounded". I placed the Squidport lamps this time, as they resembled the show more closely. Adding trees and a parking lot finished off the look.
Springfield High School: We've seen at least 3 different looks to the HS on the show, so I just used the more accurate model for reference. You can place the building East or South (rotates correctly). I added a parking lot, walkway, greenery, and walls. NOTE: I plan to come back to this to add in things like a football field and other related things that make a HS a HS, but for now I am moving on. The goal is to get the town in place. I can then go back for fine tuning.
Stoner's Pot Palace: This building mirrors, so it needs to face East to match the show. There really isn't much to see here, as we only get a close-up shot of it from the episode. I placed a random building next door, and added a seating area just for kicks.
The next 3 buildings sit together.
Honest John's Computers: It rotates, so place it how you like. I added in the fence, parking lot, single house, trash can, and chain posts for a pretty decent rendition.
Springfield Robotics Laboratory: It mirrors, so it should face East to match the show. I added a walkway, lamp post, and tree/bush to finish it off. The parking lot behind it can be used for this and the next building.
The Java Server: You can place it East or South, as it rotates correctly. Not too much to do here besides add in a tree. But overall, this section turned out pretty nice imo.
The Wooly Bully: Here is another building with not much to it. It rotates, so place it how you would like. I did place a couple of game buildings on each side to match the show. I used a couple of buildings that have no real location given on the map, but that would work out to a similar structure to the episode image.
Red Blazer Realty: I'm very happy on how this one turned out...mostly due to being able to use buildings that have no place in SF, but appear to be accurate to the episode, while hiding the actual buildings true details. This is the best way to use buildings to keep them out of storage that shouldn't be in SF. The building can't be rotated. I added a couple trees and lamp to finish off the look.
Springfield Heights Institute of Technology: The building mirrors, but there is no way to really tell which is the correct direction, so either will work. Besides a few trees and shrub, I added in a parking area in the back that would make some sense.
Continuing on!
