I'm giving this another try in Appaloosa Plains.
Regarding Edit Town, I've placed the Chinese Garden on a new lot, bulldozed the cat and dog parks where I put LN bars, placed the smaller cat and dog parks on empty lots, moved the junkyard across the street to a new lot so that I could put another LN bar on a larger lot in the same spot, and bulldozed Varg's Tavern in favor of another LN bar. Was that okay, particularly the dog and cat park switcheroos?
If not, I barely started so it's no big loss.
