I have wanted to ask this question for quite awhile...

Is there anyway that City Story can have the option to "zoom out" better like on Design Story so the City can be minimized enough to see it in full for an overall better perspective ? I like to see the overall picture not just chunks which sometimes making it a bit frustrating..when you can see the overall city in full entirety it is better making it a more condusive environment to format and design...also its great when visiting cities...thanks also TeamLava for your prompt efficient replies on other threads and not making me feel like Im lost in the vapors...thanks

The only way I have made this possible is by taking multiple screen shots & photoshopping them all together. PM me of you like, and I will find you city, do it for you, and post to the "Show off your City" thread.

OK threeway5 . Thanks so much! Sounds Kewl . But in addition it would b great to be a Le to do it randomly Yrime you want like in Design Story. Do you play Design Story?
Also when clicking on the doorbells when visiting neighbors it would make it easier to find them...right?

Zooming out like that would be awesome. I've never seen my city all at once. Also it would be nice if the floating coins disappeared when completely zoomed out. Other games do that and it looks amazing.

Yes jonathnharker , I agree, I like for the flowing coins and goods to disappear. It makes. Confusing o see the beauty of the city with so much stuff hanging everywhere...Can we request that as well???

Hi guys
I'll try to explain about the view
It happened accidently 5-6 months ago . I think it was before the upgrade with the new servers. So it happened when I started the game and tap on expansion sign and then I was looking for my next expansion spot so I zoomed out for better view and I ended up with this view (in the link). I knew this is not going to happen again so I took this screenshot . I'm sure our friend MHz will do his best to make this part of the new update. Thanks

P.s sorry for my English :)

MHz_ DId you see pss152 's notes here? Somehow it may be written in code already and got lost in the shuffle.
Let us know. Thanks for your efforts and replies.

Camilla333 - All the information you need to know about the update is in the very top thread of the forums.

The update still needs to gain approval from the business to proceed, which takes time.

From my understanding this add on has not been included in the update, but check in the other thread.
