I love the brown path you use - it looks really natural and fits in well with the game without looking too fake or grassy, like some paths do. I also really like how well you used PWPs and flowers. The squared-off areas within your paths with the PWPs in them was really cool. The game-show room in Larri's house is a really cute, fun idea! The way you lined your beach with red & yellow tulips was nice, too. (I'm biased since that's kinda what I'm doing in Macaron, aha).
I'm neutral to the one-species type of towns, but the deer are all pretty cute.
However, the hot pink & blue path stood out to me but not in a good way. It doesn't feel cohesive with the brown path, and it's just too bright, in my opinion.
I honestly just don't like the paths - they're too busy, and in the case of the train station area, don't match. I think the teal/pale yellow path is cute, but just doesn't seem fitting to cover the town with. A teal/pale yellow brick path could be really really cute, though, since the colors are nice and go well with each other. For the white/black/red path, I'd forgo the red, especially if it's next to something that's primarily a cool color. The red corners also look somewhat strange.
For landscaping- I'd line the horizontal paths with trees (maybe 1 of each type of fruit tree, then a regular tree, repeat) with either bushes or flowers in-between them.
Vertically, I'd go with lining them with bushes, special stumps, and flowers/clovers. Mushrooms could also work. I like the area leading up to the campsite, it's very forest-y/campy feeling. I think perhaps a windmill or bus stop would look cute in the area to the right of Gala's house.
I also think planting flowers that match villager's houses in the 2 spaces right outside of their houses would look better than the musical note path. A few streetlights lining some spots of the path, or benches just above the path where nothing else is going on would also look really nice!

Thank you, I'll keep your comments in mind and change the bright pink and blue path later. The truth is i tried to match the bricks and tiles in the fairy tale town hall with my path patterns. But I understand bright path doesn't always fit with the rest of the town.
Ahh, yeah, I can see where you were going with that. I'd personally try to break up the monotony of the plain brown brick path with maybe a darker brown brick path with grass & flowers or something similar, or maybe an off-white, decorated path that matches with the fairy tale white.

I'm not a fan of paths (especially brick paths) with no edges, but that's just my personal preference.
All of the flowers look messy and un-cohesive. It'd look a lot better if you honestly got rid of a lot of them, save for ones around the path/PWPs/houses. It'd also look better if you had patterns for them, like, for instance, red rose/yellow rose, or yellow rose/yellow pansie, or something like that. It seems like the majority of your flowers are warm colors, so the cool colored flowers look really distracting and out of place. I like your use of PWPs, especially the zen lamps around the southern bridge.
There's a big dirt space south of the town hall, which I assume was from a previous villager. A larger PWP, like a bus stop, fence, or archway structure would look nice there.
My biggest complaint is definitely the over usage of flowers. If you feel some of the spaces where there's an abundance of flowers would feel empty without them, try planting trees there instead, with flowers in between. All good things in moderation.
I have to say, I really love your town! The only thing I don't really like is the use of black flowers in such a sweet-themed town. They just kinda stand out to me.
I love the way the sunset makes the paths look, it gives them such a nice orange tone that compliments the warm/neutral colors. I think you could spice the area around the wisteria trellis/train station up with some clovers instead of using just flowers.
I love how sweets-themed your town is. The brick path isn't overly sweet or pastel, but it fits in so well. My favorite area would have to be the area leading up to Brewsters - the way the trees and bushes look with the flower arch is great.
(Really though, I have to ask where you got that brick path. It's so cute!)

Thanks so much for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed my town. I really like the clover idea, I think I will get some clovers and see how it looks. I will also look into replacing the black flowers (I don't like them much either) :3
The brick path is so pretty, it is one of my favorites I found it Here

The path kind of bothers me. The colors are nice, but the way the gray outlines all of them looks unpleasant.
There are some areas with gaps between bushes that would look much nicer with flowers, mushrooms, or clovers filling the gaps. (Like near the tower)
I think the path should definitely extend to all of the houses - some of them have the path in front, and some of them don't, which looks odd and inconsistent. The bamboo behind the orange trees next to Whitney's/Shaymin's houses looks off and isn't very noticeable. Personally I'd get rid of either the bamboo or plant it in place of the orange trees right there. The candy inbetween the orange trees there is cute though.
I really like the little animal room in Shaymin's house! It's a really cute, original idea. It's definitely a good use for those zodiac animals!
The main room of Mew's house is also really cool looking, like some kind of fancy palace kinda room.

Ohh, thanks for the link! c: Both versions of it are really cute, wow.
You're welcome ^^ they are super cute <3
So confident about your town. I guess it's normal with this Heichou avatar of yours.
Confident in that my town has a record of impressing people every day. See for yourself if you want to.
I'll visit your town later this day. I'm currently at work.
