I've always been really lucky with plot placement. each villager moved into a spot so perfect that it looks like I did plot set!
I have had the two Uchi villagers move in as neighbours--Phoebe & Muffy live next to each other & they also live near where I wanted the picnic area & bus stop--so perfect as they are Uchi suggestions.
Freya moved in next to Lobo & Kid Cat--in a nice little row.
Keaton (a smug) moved to a secluded spot by a waterfall--which is such a romantic location & fitting for his personality.
The cranky with a heart of gold--Wart Jr has his shack near the path to the beach & next to the lighthouse---very fitting for a cranky type that loves ocean fishing.
When Zucker lived in my town he moved in right next door to Marina! It was very cute.
I now have Tangy living in the spot where Zucker was, as Marina's neighbour. So the two cute sweethearts live side by side.
Colton lives far away from me near the station near the other player Ziggy--which is perfect as I don't like him, but he (Colton) seems to have a crush on all the males in town, so I guess lucky Colton.
As you can see they are eerily perfect placements!
