8 my town is nothing special right now but I am working on it and I was updating it every night for the bells but while I was working on my house theme I didn't update at all because my house was really crappy looking.
My main house is now somewhat back in order so I updated it...I have 4 houses and they are all in different stages up upgrades and I am still working on my furniture sets etc.
My town is a major work in progress...I had all the trees cut down and replanting is slow going when you only get one tree a day and you want cedars!
I also had to demolish some public works and waiting to 1. get the ones I really want and 2. find good places for them all.
I have ideas about what I want to do but it will take a year to get all the bushes and trees I need.
