Thread: Cap on the number of decorations a city can have...
I was wondering if anyone else has reached the cap on city decorations. I been at the decoration cap for quite some time now and I am only about a third of the way done with decorating my city. Something need to be done about this, now i know there are server limitations and all but still, the current limit is not high enough. My problem is that everybody wants street lights on every street as well as the cool gardens and statues that we have now.I was thinking that street lights should not count towards the decoration limit, then the current limit would suffice.
I haven't reached the cap, not that I can't but that I have been aware of this cap so I do not place gardens in places that don't really need one. I would like to place street lamps on all the streets and gardens anywhere I wish, but just isn't the case. So what I did was just place most of the gardens and street lamps near the populated areas like the cantina, city hall, shuttle/merchant area and clone center/hospital. This way people visiting the city still see it as beautiful. Sure you might not see a garden deep in a residential zone, but usually you will only find residents there and right now my residents don't really care just so the main populated areas are beautified.
Just a thought 
I to concentrated on the main areas, now I am focussing on the rest of the city.
Streetlights not being counted or being seperate from decorations is something I've petitioned for previously so I'm all for it, still. 
I had this grand plan to place street lamps at the start and end of my streets and avenues. Our map has all the city streets named, and we direct citizens to different areas of the city using street names. Was a really nice idea, since folks who were not familiar with the city could find another house just by going down avenues and passing streets (much like real life cities... streets go from east to west, and avenues go north and south).
I had toscrap this idea because of the caps. I've got about 20 streetlamps that mainly are located on the corners of each street that radiate out from city square. It's not nearly enough. I do believe I have more available to me, but the costs to me are way out there.
What is a city without street lights....
Not a city!
Raise the cap!
The cap is way too low- raise it!!!!
my city has always been at its limit and still looks naked.
