Hi everyone, Just like to congratulate eevryone at Deep Red for making an amazing game firstly, and hope that you will be bringing out expansion packs in the near future....

I regularly play RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, The Sims, SimCity 4 and love most management / sim / god / tycoon games, so here are a few ideas on things I think would help make VEGAS even more immersive to play...

1. 'No Entry' signs for all path designs : available to purchase through the bench / lights tab, would stop all peeps walking into your backroom / office facilities areas, and then complaining about the noise & smell! It would help players to section off areas of their lots and direct peep 'traffic' through the lot more easier.

2. Outside ATM / Cash Machines.

3. Please, please, please enable us to design RollerCoasters track layouts throughout the lot. We could have real-life 'New York Cab' style coasters looping around the hotels entrance like the real Vegas, or construct huge mega-coasters that would draw in the crowds ( see Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 & 2 for ideas )

4. Allow us to edit the outside lot floor level the same as we can inside the casinos, maybe even adding different floor textures & stair types for different themes. This would let players create lots built on different levels, even having grand staircases leading up to their large hotel entrances!

Just a few to be getting on with, what do you all think?

I loved the last downloads, the Christmas ones. You've made loads of lights, one new building and loads of decorative stuff.

So for the next time you're doing downloads, how about making something like new paths. In the game now, there is around 1 themed path for each theme. But what if you done some new paths for some
of the themes, then you would have a choice!

That's just one thing, I would love 1 or 2 new buildings. These are stupid suggestions but what about something like a:

-an ice cream parlour (a bit like the cafe but with ice cream!!)

-An internet cafe (again like the cafe but with computers)

- Some new shops

Anyone else with ideas?

I would like to see in an update;

 -wider range of objects (e.g. lighting, paths, benches, bins, trees etc.)

 -and (as the poster above says) more shops

 -more public services - especially a public pay phone - one standard design, and one to suit each particular theme (would look great for the Royal English theme!)

 -being able to see inside more buildings, not only the casino.

I've also been a fan of the RCT series - and (unlike RCT) really like the fact that you can see the area at night!

Oh, I was about to ask what RCT was... then I realised... Rollercoaster Tycoon! I like strategy games, shooting and driving games. Though I loved The Sims, I don't think The Sims 2 will be any good. It look's too realistic. It'll be like spying on your next door neighbor! The Sims original was much more cartooney and great.

Yeah and back to the point.. Good ideas! But I think the latest downloads has put enough lighting in the game, but the rest of your suggestions sound good.

And I haven't seen Ropes or anyone around here since before Christmas! They're probably on holiday, but I want them back to answer some of my posts and to look at our ideas and stuff!
