Want to share some pics if you don't mind. Unfortunately, it's not ready for dream visitors yet.

This is actually my favorite area in the town so far. Yeah, I got stung by bees. Darn tree cutting. :(

Like I said in the title, suggestions are more than welcome​
 
I like it. I would prefer if you used something else to line the path leading to ReTail, like tree-bush-flower kind of pattern
 
Oh yeah, I see what you're saying. I was thrown off a little. I'm planning on adding a lot more stuff. These pictures are not the finished product. Nowhere near it.

Thanks for your suggestion. :)
 
Thank you. I got that idea from one of the links you sent me in my thread about diagonal paths.
 
Happy it helped! :D
Are you planning to fill the spaces with clovers? The problem is, getting them yourself is a very long process... I've only found 3 so far after 7 months...
 
Actually, I wasn't until you mentioned it lol

How do you get clovers? I'm willing to wait a long time, even more motivation to keep this town
 
Sometimes a clover will appear randomly on the floor as a weed. You have to pick them all. Sometimes, they will be a lucky clover and it won't disappear when picked, and they can be replanted. So just plant them on those spots. :)
 
Oh, okay so I won't have to do anything special to make them appear. That's good. I have the Beautiful Town ordinance though....
 
You could also just leave the clovers down without checking if they are weeds, they do not count as a weed or negative points in your town. If you fill in most of the spots in your town the more likely it will be to spawn in one of those squares. I'm currently trying to fill out a lot of space with fake clovers, the best way to do it it to time travel. That's what I do but not everyone does that. It is an easy way without hacking to get what you want. If not you could buy lucky clovers here in the retail forums.
Your landscaping is looking really good! :blush:
 
It looks great, I think the diagonal path turned out really well! I love the little garden you put in front of the villager's house! Lining the house is cute too, of course, but that little flower area in front is unique & adds personality. I also like the growing trees outside the cafe, I think it'll turn out very cozy!
 
:O i like it!!! definitely coming together c:
suggestion: u could try to use a more blended path that goes with the grass to make it appear a little more natural
and i recommend some orange flowers too around the red + yellow ones !!
 
It's looking great, I love the diagonal path to the bridge! I like the design too, I feel it could work for all seasons.

Clovers look so lovely in combination with paths, that's a huge part of my town's landscaping. It is unfortunately a long process to get them yourself, even without the beautiful ordinance. But if you have patience, it's definitely worth it!

I hope you'll post more pictures as it develops :)
 
I like it. I don't really like the path that much though. I prefer to have no path, just because it looks nice and it's easy. I also don't like the three space wide paths, the most I like to do is two.
 
I like the idea but I'm not liking those paths at all. It's too dark and doesn't fit with the flowers :( Maybe try using stepping stones so they blend in a little more especially on the diagonal path. I think any path will be unnatural but some are less. I think a lighter grey parh would be better or maybe a path that has grass/flower outline
 
Thank you all for the suggestions and compliments. Yeah, I was looking for new paths qr codes and I found a few I liked. I'm going to change the paths and posts new pictures for comparison.

You could also buy lucky clovers in Re-tail! :)

Please post the DA when the town is ready! :D
 
So here are the QRs I found


First one the cool thing about this path is that the person who made it also made a winter, spring and autumn one so I can just change it according to the seasons

Yeah, I would but I made a vow not to buy items or money from people but I can't tell you how much longer I'll be able to go without breaking this vow since I'm getting tired of bush starts not spawning on my island lol

And of course I'll post the DA when the town is ready. It's going to be a while before it's ready though since this is just a small corner of my town. And all the villagers haven't even moved into their spots yet.

So I was erasing some paths just to see how it looked and this is the result.

And this is how it looked before when I had actual paths instead of it being randomized

BTW I decided to go with the first QR because I can change it throughout the seasons


I'm trying to decide whether to do the randomized paths. This is too much deciding. it's hard being mayor.

I do like the randomized trail a lot - sort of what I went for in my town! :) I'm also fond of the new pattern. Scattered stepping stones give me a natural forest vibe - they add a bit of flair too!

To me, it's looking great. Make a town that *you* will feel proud of. You'll find something clicks and all this work will be worth it! Keep us updated :)
