Oh, I think that stands for something else (Mind to the test idk?)

I think this dream town will help you with adding other things, as the river layout is almost similar.

I'm so jealous of that map :D I love how organized it is.

thank you! I actually don't like it at all though :( I was hoping for a different map layout but I got bored of resetting so I just settled for this one. my ideal map would have been one with a river like this

and oranges as the town fruit

BAHAHAHA that's hilarious. That's how I feel about the wooden bridge, but even if I got it I can't utilize it because of Hamphrey. :( AH well, just have to wait until the dang chub little hamster wants to move

Hamphrey is in my town also. He is not too bad but I want him out. Rory too.
 
He's really not. He's actually one of my more liked villagers. But he just moved in way too close :(

Yeah. I don't like where Hamphrey's house is in my map either. But the spot isn't /that/ bad. The worst one is Rory to be honest. Rory and Pietro, whom I decided to let go :( Love Pietro but he asked to move and his house is in such a terrible spot. Though TBH I don't find any of Hell's residents "ugly"
 
I need Goose to move at some stage so I can build my third bridge and Soleil too because her house blocks out my campsite but I've been quite lucky really cause all the villagers who moved in so far (apart from Tammy) have moved in beside each other :)

Do ye have any tips for a landscaping noob? Is it nessicary to cut down all the trees and stuff like that? I want to have a natural forest town with some natural looking paths but I'm not too sure I like the ones I'm using currently.

You don't need to cut down all threes first. I personally cut them all down, but its not necessary.

pros to cutting down all trees first:
- you get it out of the way so its easier to lay down your paths flowers
- you can harvest mushrooms if you get any special stumps

cons to cutting down all trees first:
- may take longer to reach perfect town depending on how long it takes you to landscape your entire town.
example:
ktqK7rH.png

this is my town right now. the pink areas have already been landscaped. the rest of the map has a bunch of disorganized flowers in it but no trees. when I talk to Isabelle she tells me my villagers feel Hell needs more greenery. Meanwhile in my other town I didn't cut down all trees so I was actually able to reach perfect town pretty quickly even though I had landscaped less.​

ANYWAY. Tips:
- Use EVERY resource available to you: flowers, bushes, cedars, regular trees, fruit trees, bamboo, clovers, mushrooms.

- Don't be afraid to mix different flower types. A lot of people only put roses with roses, lilies with lilies, cosmos with cosmos, etc. But I feel like combining different flower types adds some great texture to towns and makes them look more natural. My favorite combinations are: White Lilies with Pink Roses, and Pink Cosmos with Purple Roses, but you can experiment as much as you'd like.

- Don't be afraid to mix different colors either, you'd be surprised at how great some colors look together. Hell, you could even do a flower rainbow! (I actually have some in both of my towns and I love them)

- I'm guilty of doing this in Eclair (been planning on fixing it) and I guess it all comes down to personal taste, but... Don't go overboard with the flowers! A 20x20 space filled with flowers can sometimes look a little flat and boring. Why not spice it up with a pwp? Or maybe with some bushes, trees, or something else?

- Stumps are GREAT. Not just tree stumps, but cut bamboo as well. You can even add different textures by cutting down the trees/bamboo at different life stages. And if you have a silver axe you can get some special stumps to grow mushrooms with.

- Plan things out: don't just wait until you've unlocked a particular PWP to figure out where to put it. Save the spot from the start!

- Speaking of planning: graph paper is your friend, utilize it! Seriously, that stuff is great for making blue prints.

- Save the spots where unwanted villagers live for last. Trust me, don't plan around something that'll only be there temporarily.

- If you don't plot reset: Always make sure that you have extras of a particular fruit or flower in storage or somewhere a villager can't put their house in otherwise you might end up losing your only blue roses or perfect apple trees.
