Right? If people can do it and the end result makes them happy, then go for it! I just don't have that kind of dedication and those particular details don't bother me. My plaza is all over in my 3 towns. xD; It's in the very middle in my main, top right in my TTing, and top left in my newest. Retail is in the top leftish in all three towns though.
In my third town, I have this really obnoxious comma shaped pond. xD; It's right between the train station and Retail. But there's space to go above it, by the fence, so it's workable. It's the only pond in town.
The rocks in my main are okay. Only one is really in the way. But in my TTing town? Most of my rock positions look fake. xDD There's a couple close together, one riiight next to the plaza, and some in other weird places. They look like they should be the smashable gem rock, but no, they're real.
I like to put flowers between my path bushes. They get protected in there.
That's a great cutout board. xD
