I am curious as to how most people build their buildings when constructing a
town.
My questions are pretty simple:
1) Do you build a complete building with four (or more sides) or do you
leave the back open for access and viewing of the interior?
2) When building a multi-floor struture do you have actual "floors" for
each level?
In the two buildings that I built over the weekend I left the back (and part
of the roof) open on both of them. My reasons for doing so were 1) to have
acess and 2) because I don't have enough slopes and windows and if I
conserve them by not doing the rear side of my buildings, I can build more
of them.
