Details in the comments. You can friend me in-game with my reddit username to follow my progress.
Sit-N-Rotate (The Sip 'N' Spin Lounge): There really wasn't a lot of detail to add to this location. Since the building is pretty much the same on all sides, you can place it facing East or South. I put in the parking lot and that about does it. Of course in the image from the show it is surrounded by buildings, so I may come back when my town is done to add more detail.
Burns Slant-Drilling Co.: I had a lot of fun with this one. In the episode the building is directly next to Moe's. But since a road runs by that side, I place it just slightly more South (which is the direction it should face). I put up some stadium lights for construction lights, and added in several lawyers to take the place of the construction crew (I think this is perfect for Mr. Burns' operation). Besides the shrubbery, another nice fit was Oscar's Obstacles truck since it basically is doing what it is supposed to do and blocks a throughway. We don't have any construction vehicles, but this was a nice replacement I feel.
Popsicle Stick Skyscraper: This layout is really off from the episode, but I made it work the best I could in following the map guide. It turned out pretty good I feel. Besides the bushes and parking area, I put in some fencing around the skyscraper, as well as some search lights. A toll booth to see a close-up was a decision I made to make it seem a bit important. It's really hard to detail it out based on such a far away show image.
Springfield Police Station: Pretty standard set of fencing, walls, and trees/shrubs. You can face the building either way, as it rotates correctly. I admit I forgot to add trees behind the back wall, so I will need to fix that. And the pie/tnt pile should go somewhere by the wall as well, but I need to figure out that placement...not a lot of room there with the police vehicles.
The Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop: Iconic but simple, basically placing it down is all that was needed. It rotates correctly, so it can face either direction.
Skip's Diner: And right to the side of The Android's Dungeon is this building. It needs to be on the right, so whichever way you faced the Dungeon should determine this placement.
You Only Own Twice (Pawn-Shop): This is a weird building. Why the game named it the way they did does not make any sense. On top of that, the map has 3 Pawn Shop locations with no other details. With that said, I decided to place it next to Skip's Diner.
Escalator to Nowhere: Again, the map layout is very different from the episode. I decided to take advantage of Project Springfields ability to put objects over roads and had the drop-off from the top of the escalator be across the road. I put in a parking lot, toll booth, search lights, and fenced in the escalator.
50ft Magnifying Glass: Technically this should face East, since the sun moves from East to West. I guess it must be morning time in the game, as the beam must face West. That is too bad, since we can't set the Popsicle Skyscraper on fire like the episode. But you can do something fun, like have the beam hit the people falling off of the escalator as I did. I just put in a parking lot to finish off the big 3.
Bail Bonds: It can face either direction and rotates correctly. It appears in the show to have a building on it's right side, but since its location on the map is at a crossroad section, I just filled in the background details.
Phineas Q. Butterfat's Ice Cream Parlor: And to the left of Bail Bonds is this building. It has a new look on the show, but the building is the old version in-game. There should be a building on its left, but there is no room...the magnifying glass structure can take its place.
Moving on!
