  I prefer a loosely enforced theme. If I move onto a beachy Mexican village sim, I don't want to see a castle in my back yard.

  IMHO Random sims aren't as beautiful as they could be due to style-clash, and feel very mainlandy.

  Personally, I'm a fuddy-duddy when it comes to visuals. I want consistency and quality. I detest the trashy look. OTOH ...

  I feel like I'm in the minority on that score & there is probably a much larger tenant base of people who don't want to be restricted.

  Have a building code - have a list of recommended houses to buy, or require building inspection to meet theme. Works in the Steamlands.

  If they own it themselves, you don't have to deal with permissions issues.

  Tanarain has it - most of the Steamlands have Covenants with Building Codes sections. Would you like some examples?

  I prefer themed developments. I like theme albums. Cohesive whatever.. (Random reminds me of when I get dressed in the dark)

  FrauLowey thanks for the gmail list. Lots of documents!! Cool. I'm glad to see other people forbid sky clutter because I intend to.

  you check the current Steelhead covenant for the levels, as it keeps the skyboxen from showing up on the gridmap.

  I live in New Toulouse - already mentioned - I love it, I love the fact that it has a mostly coherent estate-wide feel to it
