I love EVERYTHINGGG in my town except for the river >.< sorry if you can't see it that clearly
But I was hoping for advice on what (if anything?) I could/should do to make up for such a boring layout v.v
What's boring about it? How are rivers supposed to be exciting? If you ask me, you have an ideal river because it doesn't cut your town up into weird shapes. You have more space for pwps than people with twisty rivers.
It looks like a perfectly good river to me. Mine creates useless elongated portions of land; yours cuts the town in a balanced way and leaves essentially no wasted space.
Really, the river thing is interest vs town space. The more twisty the river, the less space you have to create your town, and vice versa.
