I found that after being burnt out for a while, I'd try to rejuvenate myself my starting over. It didn't always work for me, but it can be nice to get a fresh perspective on things. To do things differently in the town.
Something I've had in the past was the Mushroom furniture mix with other naturey stuff, turning into a lovely fall room.
In an old town I had paths down making a train track run through it, I used one of the houses as a "station".
I make some designs for Able's straight away, that way they won't wear the default designs.
And if they wear something I dont like, I spam their mailbox with shirts until they get the message haha.
