  Philosophical town question.
 
Here is a little bit of a philosophical question for you folks into Town. I am building a little house. Said house has two floors. Must there be a connection between the top floor and the bottom floor? Calum (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Hmmm...I guess it depends on preference...personally I wouldn't put a stair- way in a "little" house because they would take all the space, and the the pink spiral staircase in a few paradisa sets aren't necessarily desirable or all that (...)

(...) Seeing that almost all of the buildings in my Town are just empty shells at the moment I say No, or would that be Yes?, I don't know I guess its whatever floats your boat.

Very good question! One that a lot of us struggle with, no doubt. In lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, Calum Tsang writess: (...) I take it you are detailing the interior because if you weren't the question would be moot. I would say yes if you can afford (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I'm of the impression things need to be furnished, but it's really a question of time and pieces-I have some buildings without furnishings, and others completely furnished. I also have one building missing floors :) But as Ben mentioned, it (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I've managed to include stairs in larger buildings, but the house presents a challenge. I used to use the "zap" "transporter" theory too. But there's this weird line one must draw in Lego Town.

Town is a style. You are right...and it is all about how much of your style you want to show. (...) it had a balcony, you could integrate a "fire escape" for it but stair would detract from the rest of the model. Benjamin Medinets (24 years ago, 9-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: Philosophical town question.
 
The rule of thumb I use is: If the back of the building is open, it's ok to not have stairs. One simply relies on the Hand Of The Creator to move one around. If I bother to doa 4-walled building, I put in stairs. Unless the buildings are very small, (...) (24 years ago, 9-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
