Organizing Your Castle

[brenstal]

How do you guys organize your buildings? Do you try to put certain buildings next to each other? Do you put out most of your buildings or do you keep several in storage? I have a little Halloween section in my Kingdom right now, and all my craft buildings together. I recently redecorated mine, and I'd love for people to post what they do or possibly post pictures. I'll attach a picture of mine (sorry about the parts that are badly edited together).

During this last redecoration, I decided to bring out a lot more buildings than I usually have. Like, I had put up my Glimmerbat, but brought him out for my scary section. I also brought out the Troll Castle and Kaz's house, which I hadn't really had out since that quest line. And the windmills. If I have too much stuff out, it makes me feel kind of overloaded. So I'll probably put a lot of stuff in storage when the Thanksgiving quests come out.

I have all my royal buildings in the centre with a wall around them, the Sawmills, Workshops and Mines in one area, after all they need the resources from the mines, Troll stuff in another, Kitchens and Potion shops are near Ivy on another side of the wall and everything else in what was left. The Spooky Section isn't quite finished but need more money for expansions first. My jousting arena which is way too small for an arena was placed in a rush to join in with everyone for the anniversary tournament and will be moved when the right space opens up. I had a clear vision of the idea of what it was going to look like, I'm certainly getting there.

Well, until recently when my kingdom got over run with too much stuff from the past few events, the center piece of my kingdom is a large HI to welcome visitors. On one side is my castle surrounded by watchtowers and other royalist buildings with an orchard of trees and benches out in front. Exactly opposite are the farmers and crops (that's psychological). On one side is my university section with wizard schools, libraries, thomas' house etc. Across from that is the industrial area with all working and crafting area. There's a beautiful pink enclosure for Sabina and the farthest point away from everything is Ivy. She likes her peace plus I'm afraid she might explode something. Animals move around wherever the mushrooms and misc grass is growing.

When we get more expansions I plan on redoing the majority of the kingdom and make smaller neighborhoods with more scenes to enjoy. Right now everything is very utilitarian.

I have mine organized in quarters, like a small village. The royal garden is of course somewhat crowded now. I have also very few buildings in storage, try to have 2 of each on display. Also useful when quests come.



Note that is the state of my forest before Valentine this year, so some changes through. But the organization is the same.

Then just add me ID is the same as the name. Well this is my primary account, and a year old though. Remind me to make a new screen shoot one of this days..

I had fun reorganizing when the flowered shrubs were on sale. I now have sections surrounded by hedges. Imagine a diamond shape, with a village of houses and resources in the center. The is a royal section on the upper left, a section of tall royal building on the upper right side. There is a pink section on the front left side and a creepy section in the front right, where my HH now lives. I. The front left corner, next to the pink section is my farm and animals Interspersed throughout are animals, flowers, mushrooms and such. In the front corner I hide my excess resources like rocks. Check it out at DanzPlace since I am hopeless at screen shots.

I hope this makes sense...

I'm not that into decorating, I don't have the touch for it. So I keep my Kingdom practically: animals by animals, in the middle some ponds with some tree's, plow fields in the north-east, a row of crafting buildings, 2 rows of buildings that give goodies, and somewhere as far away as possible, coin-buildings that only have use when needed during goals.

Like Shibuya, my little city has "quarters" as I call them, too.


The bottom right is obviously the farm quarter. The far right is the Manufacturing quarter with all my crafting buildings. The part the juts out the bottom left is my Park with tons of trees and conservatories. Connected to that, in the center of my city, is the Faerie Quarter. The sun tile paths through the faerie quarter, unlike the other city-block like ones, meander about and are conducive to getting lost lol. Top right is my new Spooky Quarter which I am SO happy to have. Between the park and the farm is the Troll Quarter. And top left is the financial district - all my coin-generating buildings. I put the jousting arena next to the Troll Quarter since they enjoy a good joust too. And it is an essential part of all the designs I've had that paths connect all buildings and all parts of the city. And walls helping to define the limits of the quarters. I also have a gate into the troll quarter from the woods for Kaz slip home some day without having to parade through the rest of town. And I try to keep at least one of every building type out at all times. I don't collect from my market, so if a quest pops up for me to, I don't have to dig it out of storage and wait 22 hours.

I LOVE decorating my queendom - it's one of my favorite aspects of the game. And I tend to completely redecorate the entire thing about once a month.

Love this thread and hope to see more interesting parks and design philosophies!

ETA: Oops - I cut off the top of my castle! Well, I'm sure you all get the idea anyway.

I would love to look at it bigger. Want to be neighbors? Tattudefairyalso
