Another grumble about Colossus: the movie screen that...

[GoldenPuppy]

Your post was really true.

I've over thought when the screen was first annouced if I sould get it or not.
It was really a hard decison, but I really don't have a use for it and to buy a large room and make it look like a movie thetre and the list could go on...
I planned not to get it because the doors can't be removed/moved and that... Well, in my honest opinion it just isn't really worth it.

I have the same problem. The room I had set up , waiting for the stupid screen, has 2 doors on it. Now, I have to get another room...one where there's only one door, and make sure that I don't put another room next to it. *sigh* Such a pain! Oh, and I have to buy new wallpaper and flooring too.

Well, I cannot even buy the movie screen. For some reason it is not showing in the curio shop for my acct. and the times are correct!!!

It was only available in Deluxe accounts...and that's covered in another thread:

My "movie" is silent too!

So, before you sell a bunch of rare items (I did) or adopt a dozen pets (I didn't...only 2) make sure that you have the right space for it.

I love hearing what everyone thinks about this colossal movie screen! One thing that I have done with my house in WW is, since there is unlimited space on the building screen for adding rooms, I've felt that I don't have to put rooms adjacent to each other except for one doorway in each "end" room. I have many hallways that make a cross such as + with long medium sized rooms connected all together (to make a long hallway) and then one large room at the very end of the hallway. This way I can have my "King's room" at a distance from the other common rooms. This also gives me plenty of rooms that could accomodate a number of the colossal movie screens if I wanted. I love being able to have a big sprawling ranch house....don't you?

Sounds like a good solution, but I'm confused. (Nothing unusual about that!)
Could you post a picture of the Map of your rooms?

I'm truly sorry, Sparkspeak, but I'm quite "computer illiterate" and can't even begin to understand how to take a screen shot. Naturally, all of my house doesn't fit on one screen either. I'm constantly having to scroll up or down and across the screen to get from one room to the other, but this alone should be enough of a description so that you can visualize what I'm talking about. The "end" of the hallway rooms are the large rooms where the colossal screen would fit very nicely! I figure if WW is allowing us unlimited space for our houses, why not utilize it? I hope that this answers your question.

That's OK...I think I get the picture!

I wish that the map was smaller in scale...I forget where rooms are sometimes and scroll in "circles."
