I apologize if this isn’t the place to put this (and if so please direct me to the right place).
I need layout help! I’m not good at planning where things should go and what I want reserved for where because my goals could always change with the prospect of something new and unexpected appearing. My “going with the flow” type of building is a hinderance to my town’s rating since I’m not utilizing my space properly. I don’t really have any designated spots for anything. That’s why I’m currently refraining from selling any more plots.
This is what my map layout currently looks like.

Under the spoilers I marked landmarks of my overall island which shows it’s.... fairly barren and not thought out.

I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with Wildwood Crest, New Jersey? That was my vacation spot when I was younger and I named my island after it. Attractive features are the boardwalk which I think would be smart to sort of emulate with the shops side-by-side, (and villager houses too), but I’m unsure how I will plan it and what will leave me with the most room for natural areas with flowers and trees. I’m not sure what to do with the cliffs either.

My first order of business would have to be to move my house because I happened to place it in front of the ONLY area for a viable bridge between those two land masses. I think the 3-width equal on both sides rule is RIDICULOUS because my rivers are so curvy. This is actually my sole motivator. This is why I’m making this thread. I need to unlock the terraforming licenses to make my rivers straighter so I can actually place bridges where I want them to be because I’m SO upset at how limited I am. I need to make the most of my space in order to get that 5-star rating.

I know how creative and amazing some of you are here on TBT and I need some of those ideas right now because I’m completely lost on what to do. Go crazy and even plan into the future when I have enough hybrids to place everywhere and once I get my terraforming licenses. But I first need the plan for what to do with what I got now.
