HELP! ive decided i hate my town layout =(

[Geckozilla4]

So yeh as above basically, i've decided i hate my layout houses are all over the place, i've no organisation to it and i've gone to start making flower beds to breed hybrids and due to the sporadic house arrangement i have no good spaces to place them, and there's an annoying skinny bit along the top....

unfortunately i cannot just reset and start again, I have been making my all froggy dream town, and i'm only two frogs away from completing this

WHAT TO DO!?!?!?!?!?

 

[Sanaki]

Well we really can't tell you what to do since you just said you won't restart lol

 

[feavre]

Move everything to the beach and relandscape. It makes a HUGE difference. Remove eveything so you're left with the natural looking town you started with. It's a fresh sart.

You can also use the skinny bit at the top for flower storage.

here's a picture to show you guys, the two houses that are villagers that will leave are
1: of the pair in the bottom right corner the one on the left will leave
2: the two at the top (diagonally up and left of my house) the bottom one will also be leaving

I guess along the bottom in the middle could work if i do chop everything down though that sounds like a good place to start

What PWPs do you have? You could make some nice garden/park/forest areas in the small strips of land. You could also get some paths if you don't have those yet.

Relandscaping is the next best option to your map, behind resetting.

As for the houses that are going to be gone, the only one of some significance to me looks like #2, since you have more space to work with in that gap. Try making a path in the center and lining it with trees and flowers.

Not many yet, campsite, the in top left between the house and path to beach I have a solar panel, then also down that side to the left and down from the town hall were there's a bit that kind of sticks out I have a wind turbine, oh and a lamp post next to the house I the kinda square patch below my house

I also have perfect pears trees running down the right hand side against the edge

Just reset.

Connect all houses, buildings and PWPs with path.
Use flowers bushes and trees to fill in empty spots. It helps if you arrange your flowers by species and/or colors.

^I connected all your buildings together
You just need to fill in the empty spaces with PWPs and surround PWPs with plants
Also add additional path to your PWPs.

Oh my! Thank you! I have no paths as of yet I've been too focus on getting frogs to care for my town much, I wish I learn about plot resetting before I started out. I need to find a path I want a natural looking slab one, I will go on a hunt now I've started to clear my trees... Two axes down though so I'll have to wait to buy a new one...

Welcome, I think your town map is wonderful. It's very different from everyone else's town map. Just remember when in doubt connect everything with path. If something doesn't look like it's going to connect. You can border the building with path then connect it to your main path. Also keep your main path wide (at least 2 tiles wide). Otherwise if you have a narrow path, you can easy destroy flowers.
Only the border tiles around a building can be 1 tile narrow. Let's see I put border tiles on 2 of your houses, train station, Re-tail, town plaza and town hall.

can you do this for me ;u;

Sure take a picture of your map please? If you are using your laptop camera, just make sure your picture is upright.

Your layout looks fine to me. I don't mind layouts that look more natural and don't have all the houses in a row, in fact, that's what I prefer in my game. In most cases, what makes a difference is just landscaping.

Before you start, it's a good idea to have an idea of how you want to decorate your town. You don't have to have a theme but just deciding on the atmosphere you want (or if you just want to place random stuff you like even if it doesn't all match, whatever is most fun for you) can make a huge difference. If you need ideas on decorating a frog-themed town, let me know, I'd love to help and I have lots of ideas.

Then start by laying down your basic paths. Find a pattern you like and lay down the path between main spots first (houses, Re-Tail, the train station, etc.). After that, you can decide where you want your PWPs and other decorations like flowers to go. Having a path first will make it easier. Even if you're just working on making a natural path, knowing where it's going to be can help you have more structure in your town. You can also sketch or take a picture of your map and then draw the paths on it manually so you can have a plan.

I doubt that you don't have any room for hybrids, unless you just have lots of awkward rocks (and trees but you can remove those and plant sprouts elsewhere). If you really don't, you can just use the beach for that and for storing flowers in general, especially the private beach.

If you really hate an irregular layout no matter how it's landscaped, the only option is starting your town from scratch and plot resetting. You could always try to find someone to hold your villagers for you. It seems like a lot more work, however, and I personally like towns that look more natural.

We nearly have the same map xD that's not my map but similar the townhall , retail , house and plaza are in a different plot in mine xD , the right side I made a path going down to the bottom of the map I put my police station on the left side top right corner beside my two houses lol when I get home I'll show u a map of my town I have a Picnic table in In front of the police station this were I put my police station and house >>

 

[Geckozilla4]

thanks Im Feeling better now that I've been on a bit of an axe spree.... I've gone through 4 already and still lots of trees left ( probably why I felt I had no space)

I think adding paths will definitely make me feel better I do like that the houses are spaced out the only one I really dislike is Henry who's the one hiding behind retail... I may eventually let him move out and slowly cycle till I can get him back I would swap him for another frog but he's the only smug one


And yes I see what you mean the right ha d side is the same I Love how much space you have on the other side though!

OH NO i've just been hit by the thought that my path should probably involve lilly pads O_O!!!!!

 

[Mahoushoujo]

Lily pads? hmm

I like your town layout. I like how every area has some houses, and they are pretty evenly spaced.
I agree. Move all flowers to the beach, organized by type and color, cut down all trees (save fruit of each type of course) and lay paths connecting everything. Remove awkwardly placed PWPs. Then plant trees nicely, put up PWPs and decorate with flowers and bushes. I'm in the process of doing this and I'm really happy with the results so far.
It's a lot of work and money, but a lot of fun!
Good luck with your town renovation!
