If you could change one thing about your town...

[Sweetley]

... whatever it's the town name or the house placement, what would it be and why?

I wished I could have changed the placement of the campsite. I let it built near the one way down to
the beach because I thought the spot would be the best one. Later however I found a spot that would
have worked much better, besides someone suggested me the light house and it would have fit at the
spot where the campsite now was perfectly. Honestly, this bothered me the whole time, however I
didn't wanted to reset my town as I liked the town map and already made so much. I just really hate
the fact that you can't replace the campsite afterwards.

I would say my campsite as well! I put it in a nice place but then Bea moved to my town.. and right at the side of it. I mean it’s not the end of the world, but now seeing the tent of the campers right next to a villager house bothers me a little bit. I will NOT reset cause I love this town and I will keep it forever. And I don’t want Bea to move. But still, if I could change it, I would definately put the campsite in a more secluded area!

My one regret would also be the placement of my campsite. I placed it very early on because I wanted to increase my chances of my getting my favorite villager. I put it in between my Event Plaza and the cliff, so once I decided to start landscaping my town, I really didn't have any room to work around it and make if feel cozy and secluded. I wish I had waited and selected a better spot for it.

If I could, I would also adjust the placement of my house and the police station slightly. I put my house near the Town Hall and I love the placement, but I didn't line it up properly so it's one space further forward than the Town Hall and that irritates me just a little bit. If I had it to do all over again, I also would have placed the policy station one space further to the right. It's a bit too close to the edge of the river. But those are minor things and I can live with them.

In my second town, I'm definitely taking my time and waiting to place all my permanent buildings and PWPs because I don't want to make the same mistakes twice.

I regret the placement of my mayor's house in my second town. I landscaped my second town so that there is a natural forest section in the North and a closed off villager community across the river to the South. My mayor's house is in that forest section because I wanted her house to be secluded from the rest, kind of closed off from civilisation. However, after I got into landscaping I became annoyed at the fact that my mayor's house was so close to the train station that you can even see it in the background even if I cover it with trees. It didn't feel very peaceful to me and I felt like my mayor's house was too close to "civilisation" lol. Anyways, I was able to work around that idea and made two sections of my northern forest. The left side was a more deserted and wild forest while the right side with my mayor's house is more manicured and maintained. I even made the flowers and shrubs a different colour scheme to the unruly part of the forest so that it can match retail and my villager community. Now I love the way it looks and everything fits so nicely.

Other than that, I don't regret any other permanent buildings in my two current towns. There were tons in my original town though because that was my first play through and I was kinda just putting things everywhere. I eventually reset it after 3 years and learned from my mistakes!

I agree with the campsite. I always end up placing it in a bad spot whenever I start a new town and it's just the worst when you can't tear it down and place it somewhere else. Also would be my house. I'm usually careful about where I place it, but sometimes the areas I like to place my house in are actually terrible spots, mostly because of villagers moving in all around me. I don't really like to plot reset, so those villagers always got to move as close as possible to my house. I had one town where they were all in front of my house because I placed the house on the top of my town by the train tracks.

I don't have a town anymore, but hopefully I will be more careful where I place things in the new game next year, especially my house. :/

For Moriyo Village, it's not a regret but it's not entirely fixable. But at one point in the line up of the animals houses, they are one space off from being perfectly lined up. The river bended so I moved the house one space over buy it's one space off from being in a perfect line.

In Treehut Yusha's house was an add in that I hadn't thought of at the beginning of creating the town, so I think it's in an awkward spot. It has 2 rocks by her house and landscaping there is kinda hard.

So far I can't say I regret anything about Luminosa or Townie, mostly because they aren't that developed.

In my second town, TickTock, I would've chosen a better spot for my house. It's by the beach in the corner and Tiffany parked her house behind it.

 

[Snowesque]

My town fruit; I would really prefer to have apples.

 

[MarzipanDragyn]

Now that I think about it, it would've been nice if the town plaza wasn't secluded in a corner...but that would mean the office would have to move too, so I guess it's not so bad.
Being able to move villagers' houses elsewhere would sure be nice, though... I'm still not too happy about Alli's decision to park her house right in front of mine...

 

[Lynnea]

There's two rocks right beside each other by the bulletin board, and I'm trying to place paths there and I'm literally going to scream.

 

[CasualWheezer]

I would probably change my town layout. I think it would be easier to build public works projects and stuff like that if there were wide open spaces, it's kind of hard to do that kind of stuff when everything is all divided by the river and ponds and blocked by the starter buildings.

 

[MapleCake]

My town is still very new but I have the right half done. But I kinda wish I didn't just kinda give up on choosing a map I liked because this one is proving to be a little bit difficult to landscape. Also I have way too many rocks and it's getting in the way of how I want to set my paths.
Just now, I was being careless and forgot about plotting in my new villager and since I really want to keep him, I'm gonna have to figure out how to rearrange my paths to better accommodate his spot.
I hope in time, when I am close to finishing it, I can learn to love it's flaws bevause of all the work I put into it.
But right now, I feel like I made a huge mistake on selecting this particular map and I don't entirely love it.

If I could change one thing about my town... hmm a really good thread idea! If I could change one thing about my town I would choose to rearrange the shape of my river. It has some of those really annoying large hill/high/bump sort of things which make it really hard to navigate around from the top half to the bottom half of the town if that makes any sense. Even the bridges makes it hard, there is no way to make it any easier to get around town! I hope that makes any sense. I have reset before but most towns have this problem and I choose town on other factors such as grass pattern, fruits and villagers.

In my first town, I think I'd change the ramp locations on my cliff. I mean, one of them is fine, but the other one I hardly ever use. I'd move it to the tiny part of the beach that I can't access without swimming to. I plan on having things down on that part of the beach in my dream address, I just think it'd be cuter if it were more easily accessible. I mean, realistically I doubt most people will want to slap on a diving suit just to swim out there anyway!

I'd also change where Julian put his stupid house because, while I love him, how dare he plop himself down in the middle of my orange orchard.

In my second town, I'd change this one little part of my river that'd be perfect for a bride, but according to Isabelle, is too wide Other than that, I'm not..... super sure yet, I've barely developed the town at all. Mostly just been collecting PWP suggestions and trying to get all the villagers I want plotted first before I start building everything. But honestly I really love the layout of this town, I restarted the game for hours until I got a map i liked, so there's not much to complain about!

 

[Celinalia]

i wish i had peaches as my town fruit. right now i'm trying to 'erase' all my orange trees and planting new peach trees but idk it's just a different thing i guess

 

[Shellzilla_515]

It's a challenge for me to find something that I want to change in my town because I'm pretty content with what I have and done. Initially, I felt that my placement of the campsite wasn't in a very good spot. I gave it some more time and I've gotten used to it. In fact, I think I gave Tipper some form of company since she lives in the bottom left corner of the town by herself. XD

 

[poweradeex]

I wish I had cherry blossom trees.

 

[peachycrossing9]

I really wish I could move my Mayor's house in my first town. When I first placed it, I was only just starting to play the game, so I wasn't thinking properly about how it would affect my town. I put it way too close to my town plaza for my liking, and I have villagers who plonked their houses directly behind it which annoys me. If villagers want to be near my house, I prefer them on either side of me, not directly behind or in front.

But oh well.. Learnt my lesson for my second town, which I started this year and the Mayor's house for this town is in a great spot.

 

[Laconic]

I wish the campgrounds, with Harvey, was in a different spot. I've been playing since release, so there was no way to tell or know that eventually the campgrounds would sprout up.

It ended up placing itself right next to my house, which is alright, but that means it's blocked by my neighbors. Hamphrey's house in particular is placed right next to it...? it means I can't keep flowers around his home anymore because the slope of the campgrounds makes the player run, destroying flowers..

So, I'd move that, but not Hamphrey---his placement is perfect, it's the campgrounds that messed everything up.

 

[Blood Eclipse]

What I regret the most about my town would either be the name, which I find corny by now, or the placement of my mayor's home.

I've been so nervous to place a campsite down because I haven't yet figured a perfect area for it and I haven't unlock the bonfire PWP to put near it, also, once you place it down, you can't undo the process.

I was planning to place a third bridge right in the middle of my river, but I find out my mayor's home is in the way, so I'll have to find a way around it or just keep two bridges.
