are you trying for a full/half/crescent moon? sure the island is a square roughly, but you can carve rivers to gave you the main shape and go from there. so a moon of the shape you desire on the square kinda like a flag.
it's been years since i played city folk so, i might as well be a newbie again... no dreamies to look for so that part is easy, i'm not hunting for someone special.
i don't TT, so i'm trying to setup to make bells for what i need via orchards, filling the museum, and struggling hard to get that blasted golden watering can. sooo many flowers to get all the different hybrids and breeding them takes up way too much space. so building to make it pretty and practical at the same time is a lot of work. i'm having a blast doing it.
