Meh at street styles providing platforms others don't

I went to someone's street, who was using some bog style, and they had a HUUUUUUUUUGE background plateau that allowed them to neatly place all their collectors and feeders for the animals, away from having them on the ground in the way of everything making a mess.

However, I much prefer my Uralia looking street. However, my Uralia looking street provides *ZERO* platforms to place *ANYTHING* on, so I have to have all my stuff on the flat ground which looks messy and jumbled up and in the way of everything and the animals.

Street styles were supposed to be purely aesthetic, no? Why is there one that provides functional benefit over all the others? I think my Uralia-themed street should give me a big background plateau to put things on, too! I don't wanna have to change to a theme I don't like just so I can get that kinda usability out of it.

I really want all the street styles to provide these kind of plateaus, not just that bog one...

  • Having platform-type things being place-able items at a cost of iMG (and/or general building permits - do they even have a use atm?) could be cool. 

    As it stands however, I like the idea that there's an option that has ledges, and others that don't. It's all about choices.

  • Except the ones that have ledges don't appeal to me aesthetically. Why isn't there a Uralia-styled one with ledges? I like my street being blue and shiny, not dull and brown.

  • So...
    1) Decide what's more important to you and make a choice
    and
    2) Wait until new options for platforms etc, which they are supposed to be working on, become available. 

    I get what you're saying, that it'd be nice to have platforms with all street styles.

    The point's been made, though. Time to go enjoy our home streets, even if they don't match exactly with what we would prefer.

  • Lorraine, the night lights background (Uralia @ night) is FULL of platforms.

  • Lorraine, I think the reason you're hearing any snideness is because instead of simply bringing up the idea of adding more platforms to streets you presented it as a fairness issue.

    The street system is currently perfectly fair. You may switch as many times as you like to any street provided you pay imagination and sometimes subscription costs. There is no advantage to having RHK equipment on a platform, you do not get more items or get items faster. It simply looks different.

    Most of us, it seems, agree that platforms and levels are fun and make streets more interesting. Had you simply posted a request or idea that more such levels be added to streets or that more street designs with levels be added I think you would have gotten resounding support. Instead the way you worded things came off as whining and this community, like much of the world, has a strong adverse reaction to whining.
