Yeah, like TVs and computers are utterly eco-friendly as opposed to old-fashioned paper, which is theoretically 100% sustainable, is 100% recyclable, is a handy carbon sink, is a useful resource for lighting fires, is useful in the lavatory, and is especially invaluable for lining the bottom of a litter-tray when house-training kittens.
None of which, aside from recycle/compost, can be applied to the game, but I know that's not your point.
I'd be in favour of an all-purpose paper product that's manufactured for purchase in order to be used in multiple ways, as you describe (particularly for sinking my excess carbon ;) ), especially if said product came without all those dyes and inks applied, but as a means of conveying daily news, it seems a wasteful and inefficient use of our CO2 scrubbers. I think the main difference between the 'paper vs. electronics for news' arguments, though, is that while the TV/computer can be used to get daily news in addition to the other uses to which we usually put them, newspapers are manufactured for the express purpose of disseminating news, after which some find additional use for them before their disposal, so as not to have wasted all that paper simply for getting a crossword and some news, most of which they didn't read, anyway.
[/quote]There's also the fact that newspapers publishers always publish over what demand is. Look at the paper boxes on Michigan Avenue here. Even with the many that are stolen by the homeless to do whatever with (often, to attempt to sell), at the end of the day most of the boxes are half full. All that paper is basically wasted. Yes. It's recycled. But recycling takes energy as well.
Then you have the litter factor. People throw bits of papers all over the place (yes, they are asses). You trip over them. They look trashy. They are, again, wasted, and I doubt that even 10% of littered newspaper gets to the recycling bins. Most go to trash to rot (albeit relatively quickly).

Well, it looks like the "fix" to the neighborhood decoration issue was to replace the big honking decoration that ate the mini tower with said mini tower. So, Downtown looks better on playable lots now, but the other building is now missing.

The other building is replaced with the NL builing. The AL building is removed now after Patch.
Zazazu:
More specifically, they unreplaced the building.
Ruann:
Except for the thumbnail. At least, in my fresh The Sims 2 folder that I had it make after I patched.
