    Yep, my house is the one on the corner. I just walked across the street and paid my bill. They were happy to see me and provided excellent service...

    (They better. After all the shenanigans they put us through... ;) )

    More often than not, it does that to me, also. Not sure why... Just got in the habit of working around it.

    At some point I discovered zooming out added more bulbs. Didn't try that method again after the first attempt. The bulbs became harder to click on!

    I don't know why I didn't think of doing that...

    asdfghjkl...!!!  Slipped below 25%!  Bah!  *We need an angry llama emoticon*

    Oh well, at least I did actually manage to reach such heights...

    tbf, I was hoping to make it to 20% sometime soonish. But, I guess we're both locked in to where we made it, lol

     

    At least, till carnival anyway, cause there's likely some bulbs for that (hopefully)

    Apparently someone told Shattermore about a little dark secret in my past of having some breakable fun with some burned-out light bulbs that one time... I suppose I'll have to make it up to them by getting some lights there next December October.

    Fortunately my invoice of §181.79 is a pittance compared to others here, so I'm hoping I can slide under the radar of the lawyers and debt collectors when I proceed to completely ignore this bill:evil:

    They clearly have higher priorities to collect from first.

     

    Now, if only I was able to resist the urge to self-snitch by writing this post....

    Start? That's kinda low. I've been charging $50 cause it's the mayor's mansion. Solo cups and greasy pizza don't come cheap y'know

    Who created the store bat?

    The BAT itself is Maxis from the game. @Cyclone Boom then tweaked the lotting in LE and did direct edits to the FSH for the sign he created.

    Not too many bulbs broken on my end, but I was amongst the first (at one point, I was responsible for half of them). :)

    yeah, i can't help this being a png unfortunately. Something's up with getting certain images to my system and they download and work as intended, but no clue if they're getting corrupted or something so had to shift it from it's original jpeg over to png cause the site wasn't having it with the jpeg :/

    so, now I'm off to figure out why my PC is being weird with downloading some pictures, but fine with others (and file type doesn't matter cause it's random when it happens I've found)

    So, sorry for posting such a large file, was trying to keep it small
