I need advice and constructive criticism for Ivyvale! 💖

[mayor-of-ivyvale]

So I've posted on instagram and facebook for help on my town
but everyone just clicked like on the pretty picture and ignored my request for advice ;o;
so I know you guys will help me!

Basically I'm not sure what to do with several spots in my town.

Right now at the bottom half of my town I have a topiary, metal bench, and flower clock pwp's in the same area and I really hate the way they're laid out but I have no idea how to arrange them to my liking with the space I have.

I also have other pwp's that I want to add but I have no idea where to put them.
And basically I'm just bored with my town the way it is and I'm lost on how to re-decorate!

So I'd love if you guys could visit my dream address and give some ideas!
Anything at all would be greatly appreciated!
The address is in my sig <3​

You seem to have a thing for kitchen islands and the color pink... Your town looks good overall, but I agree with you that those PWPs look out of place, especially the flower clock which is kind of stuck in the shadow of the police station. My advice for you would be to really think about how each PWP fits into your town. If a PWP is just there to be there, it isn't going to do much for your town. Your bridge with the lamps around it, the lighthouse picnic area, and the hot spring area are good town design concepts, but a lot of your other PWPs are just kind of randomly scattered around. So if you want a flower clock in your town, first think about how you want to decorate around it and then you'll be able to find the right place for it. I find the best approach to be to make areas of your town stand out instead of just having your town be just one big pink blur if you understand what I mean.

Hello. I just visited your town, so here are some suggestions.

First of all, I feel like there are too many items on the ground. This makes your town feel a bit unorganized and it kind of threw me off because I wasn't able to tell if some of the items are apart of the theme you're going for or if you just dropped them to make room in your pockets. The kitchen islands especially.

Second of all, there isn't much greenery in the second half of your town. I suggest that you tear down the rice stalks behind the cafe and plant a straight line of perfect fruit or bell trees behind there, and then grow more golden roses (blue roses look great with golden roses) and put them around and behind the cafe. Also, I would tear down the flower clock and put a metal bench there. Then take those Jacob's Ladders you have and put them around the sides of the bench. Oh, and maybe you could put a streetlamp on each side of your cafe? I think that would be very pretty.

I also think you should put a tree or something by Merengue's house. It's very bare over there. There's a perfect spot between those two famous mushrooms for a tree. And then maybe you could place an azelea bush one on each side of the tree. Things are also bare over in the picnic spot. I think some trees should go there as well. Tear down the fairytale streetlamp. Also maybe you could tear the picnic blanket down, and then replace it down a few spaces and put a statue fountain close to the river. I say tear the picnic blanket down because there wouldn't be enough room for the statue with it there. I think the lighthouse would have to go too.

That's all I can really think of right now. I'm bad at explaining things, so if any of this seems confusing I will gladly draw pictures of what I mean.
