Help with town

[Gaby]

Hello! I'm having difficulty deciding what to do with a lot of empty space around my town and could use some help!

Clicky

So that above is my town map. As you can see, the highlighted areas are basically empty space. Area #2 to the right actually has some zen pwps but I will be removing them because I'm just not happy with how it turned out.

I'd like to build both a lighthouse and a windmill, but I'm not sure where to build them. I'd also like to make a little forest with some benches around the windmill, which is why I think area #2 is more suited for that idea, just because there's more space. Which would mean setting the lighthouse in area #1, but then that area is right in front of my house and it feels like it would be too crowded or it just wouldn't look right.

I could make area #1 into a playground and set the lighthouse at the very tip of area #2 and have the windmill further up that same area.

Anybody have any ideas? I think my way of explaining is difficult to understand lol, so I apologize.

I think a lighthouse at the southern tip of area #2 with a trail cutting through a forest leading to a windmill and some benches at the northern end of that area would look cute. A playground park would fit area #1 nicely, it fits a more residential area, or you could put a fire pit and some log benches there to fit in with the campground area.

You're right! I had an idea but needed some objective opinions~ Thank you for your help

I'd place the lighthouse at the tip of area #2. It would look nicer that way, in my opinion.

If you think the windmill would look crowded in area #1 (you can always preview it by asking Isabelle to build it, picking that spot, and then cancelling when she asks if that's the spot you want), then further up area #2 would be great. I don't think that would be too crowded, especially if you place trees between the houses and the mill, and the lighthouse and the mill, so that it will look more secluded.

Area #1 looks great for the playground.

I have a bit of space in front of Stitches' house, which is the house across the river from area #2, next to the waterfall. I wanted to put Stitches near a larger spot so I could make the playground near his house but he wouldn't go anywhere near a larger spot and I got tired of resetting. Any ideas of what I might be able to put in front of his house? It could easily fit one or two 3x3 pwps and a smaller one... maybe a cut-out sign?
