Suggestion: Adding steps to README #2

First off, wanted to thank you for getting the original Procedural City Generation program to run! It looked super promising but I didn't manage to get it working, so glad someone managed to.

I had to fumble through to get it running, namely:

1) The Roadmap Generation step wouldn't run, had to manually create a temp folder in Procedural-City-Generation\procedural_city_generation for it to generate any data.

2) Also had to create an outputs folder in Procedural-City-Generation\procedural_city_generation for the following steps to work.

3) Despite having Blender installed, I would get the following error in the Visualize in Blender tab: 'blender' is not recognized as an internal or external command Had to manually add Blender's install path as an environment variable under Control Panel -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables, under the System Variables -> Path entry. After restarting the cmd window and running the program again, it worked fine.

These are probably pretty basic steps to work out but I would suggest adding a Common Issues segment under the README in case someone else runs into the same problems.

Thank you for the suggestions @CGuillotine . It's been a while seen I've visited the repo. I am on vacation, will definitely take this up once I am back.
