Yeah I know, I'm restarting a town even though I said I wasn't gonna restart it. The ponds aren't in a really nice spot and I overall just don't really like the layout of it all. First I'm gonna have a friend help me with transferring some items to give myself a headstart and I'll be time traveling and may even reset again. The mayor will be the exact same, same with the town.
I've been trying to landscape an area near a cliff for a year, and spent literally millions of bells, building, demolishing, and re-building PWP's, and nothing looked right.
I finally put a zen bell with a simple plain peach tree there, and it saved my town.
I wish you luck on your new town, and if you need anything, just ask. ^_^
