This was my first time making a community lot (had to find the convert button and now I know what it looks like 
). Let me know what you guys think of it.

Now I can look at the others guilt free
.
Thank you and Comments and Constructive Critism is always welcomed.
PS. I have done changes to the main pictures before for other lots but for some reason cannot when it is a 60x60 lot. If someone has an answer or a direction to go read, please let me know.

About the cover shot - are you saving your shot as the highest compression and lowest quality? I know some people have had issues with the size of the upload possibly depending upon their intenet connection. I have a cable modem, so I've actually uploaded a 10 meg lot with no prob. Anyway, a game screen shot is around 780k, but a 70 - 80 k image will look just fine on the exchange (see any in my studio for ex.). Hope this helps! And grats on the great lot - rec's for the lot and story from me
Thank you! The water with the willows is suppose to be like a stream to a small pond from either side. I was going to go around the lot but it looked odd to me.
As far as the picture, I think I may need to clarify myself a bit. Let see, You know how you take the screenshot (covershot) and resize it to 512x512. Then you open postal, got to the library, open the file, then reorder so the the png files are on top. I usually replace the one that says "Something large" (I can't remember to save my life the exact wording but it is the large non-compressed one that you can replace). When I do a 60x60 (and it seems to only be those) I do not get a png non-compressed version. They are all compressed. So I cannot do the import and commit thing like I do with the others. So I didn't know if I was looking for a wrong file when it comes to a bigger lot.
Man, I hope that made better sense.
Here is a visual...
Which apparently even I need a magnifying glass to read *headdesk* .. ok ..
The very top line is the line that you need to replace with the new cover shot. For some odd reason this 60x60 plot has decided to cooperate (I think it knew I was asking for help and decided to cooperate). Usually I do not get that line. Instead, I only get the lines that are like line number 2 (or the last few lines that are the large compressed) that are compressed and you can't do anything with them (at least that I know of). Is there another way to change it if you do not get that line?
Way cool that you're a mathematician! When my kids in class ask me this year "what are we ever going to use this for?" maybe I'll show them your awesome house plans
You have got to love being able to use games that kids (and adults) play in order to teach them a concept or at least answer the "When am I ever going to use this?" questions.
