I am the mayor. I make Isabelle put PWP's where I want them, within the game guidelines, of course. I have been pushing her around to position her and myself (my mayor
) so that she says yes, for the year I have been playing. You can do it, too! She is there to
help...make her do it!
Several of these suggestions really helped me even more this morning to more easily get my fountain exactly where I wanted it. Yes, it took several tries, but it's done. I did put down the paths (Bazinga) to show the size of the fountain. That was great!
The advice about the PWP ending up being one block behind (BluebellLight) is a very helpful tip, too, but I still haven't quite figured out if it is behind Isabelle or the mayor. Gotta pay closer attention. Those diagrams (Nooblord) are going to be extremely helpful next project two days from now. (Gotta demolish and move a bench.)
I wish I had reviewed these suggestions before going forward, though. I read them yesterday.
I forgot to save b4 (Happy Tails) and on the first try I couldn't see it exactly in the preview (Charcolor) because of trees in the way, so I said yup prematurely. Rats! But I went ahead and quit w/o saving and lost a couple hours of other work like digging fossils, catching a shark for Meow coupons, etc. I won't forget that again! Not having to pay for the project, wait a day for it to be complete, another day to demolish it and then another day to build it in the right place was worth it! (Someone please inform me here, I get the sense that a project can be cancelled midway?)
Jon and Alien, sorry, you mostly just ranted, which I don't mind, because I do, too, sometimes, and it helps to have this safe place to rant, but, really, we can't blame Isabel, can we? She isn't in control, she just likes to act like she is. We mayors make the final decisions and have to take responsibility for them, right?
Thanks to all of you, you made my play easier. Thanks, shrekluvsme, for starting this fun and informative thread!
PS There is a fun rant thread right now in this forum! It's still on page one!
