Can I get reviews for mine please? I esp need suggestions for what to put behind the town hall, currently using that space to plop a 4th character's house at for when I need to plot reset, but eventually I'm gonna have to do something there soo

DC: 4600-2688-4121 ! Will post a review of Dinomate's town in a few

--------
Review for Dinomate, town of Solaceon

Likes:
- First off I loved the way you alternated patterns at your town square! There was a gap where Redd's tent was but that's beyond your control so forgiveable lol
- On the same note I love your paths I like how they're not just one pattern, but has other ones mixed in! Makes them more fun and unique!!
- looooved the sea of white flowers/carnations, that must've taken forever!
- I really enjoyed the top right section, it looks very cozy! Rolf is very lucky to have such a nice backyard haha
- loved the area by Genji's house, it suits him very well *u*
- also liked how you arranged the area around the metal bench by Ken's house!
- area by the hot spring really well done!
- I ilked how the two zen clock towers near the bridge made it seem like it was leading to a more... Asian themed section on the other side of the bridge!

Houses:
Quote:
-not really sure what you were going for here....? To me I thought it was some gameshow to pick a poisonous cake or something lol idk
-liked the exterior though!

Igi:
-exterior looks nice, the combo of the sci-fi(?) roof and the fairy tale exterior works well together!
-main room is quite empty, again, not sure what you're planning on going for, looks like you're planning on a tropical room....?
-loved the right room!! very colorful and bright, looks like a fun playroom(?)
-backroom: very nice, gave me a fancy tropical resort type of feel? maybe a cruiseship since the mannequin is behind a wheel? however, personally I feel it's a bit weird for there to be stuff on the walls when the wallpaper is one of the sky;;
-left room: loved this one!! looks like a really cool arcade, I esp enjoyed how you arranged the brewtoids in the middle! however the wallpaper + flooring combo looks realllly busy, maybe change one to a simpler one?
-upstairs: I'm assuming you're working on the Pave set lol
-suggestions: I'm not sure if you were going for an overall theme or not but if there is I don't... really see it? the rooms are nice on their own though!

Subject:
-looks like its just storage atm lol...? either that or a room of decapitated heads omg
-I like how simple the exterior of his house is! Given his name are you planning on making his house like a .... mad scientist's house or something...?

Suggestions:
- I wish you would've left out clothes or something, but that's just something I personally enjoy haha
an umbrella would've esp be nice because it was raining!
- the area by the two white benches looked a bit sparse (other than the flowers ofc..), maybe plant some more trees or bushes around there?
- just overall sparseness at some sections, maybe plant more bushes or trees were it looks more empty, course that's just personal preference
- also more work on your houses but I don't think you need me to tell you that lol

Overall it looks like it's coming along pretty nicely! Keep up the good work hehe
sorry for the super long review;;

I'd still very much like a review! My DC is 7300-2862-8450. I'd love ideas of what to do with the forest half whenever I manage to kick out all my inhabitants from that half, especially!

I'll edit with a review for nammie since I wanted to see her DT anyway!

------------

Nammie, Konpeito

First impression:
Hhhh pretty patterns and sakura flowerfalls and patterns that match them. I'm a sucker for the sakuras, they're really nice.
Also, as usual, brownie points for leaving clothes, tho I'm still running around in pijamas, at least I look like a terribly nerdy japanese girl doing so? x) Providing school clothes would've been good, maybe! - Aaaand I took three more steps and you gave me exactly those clothes. Nice.

Positive:

1- I get schoolgirl clothes, take a few steps, and land in a school! Well, that was an appropriate choice.
Really, really liking the school, too. I was confused at first as to why the house is sweets themed, but turns out, so is the school. That's actually really neat, imo.
(Also I didn't know the ants had a special display, but it works really well in the left room/science room. The skeleton and other human models are slightly creepy there all around the desk, but it doesn't take away from the room at all.)
And oh my **** the canteen. Damn. Damn. A+ would come again I loved this room like whoa.

2- Love what you did with the fountain in the south-west! Really cute! And generally speaking very nice patterns and choices of PWP.

3- Eeee presents all over the place! Treasure hunting! EDIBLE THINGS they're the best because they don't clutter your inventory and they are pretty.
Also the placement of your items is really nice! Loved the toy hammer under the wisteria, especially. Very pretty.

4- Clock + bench + bus station? Yes yes good combination A+ choice.

5- Love what you did with the bamboo behind your villager plaza, it's so pretty and somehow it looks perfect with the weather and petals.

6- Japanese house. Hhhh I love the spa. I want to stay there forever yes ok I'm just gonna get stuck in this dream now.
*moves into next room* Oh god the whole place is a spa bury me now I have found heaven.
Love how the left and right room are symmetrical!
* Is the back room supposed to be a theater or something? It's- a little bit confusing. Too many items, too many colors. Maybe try to streamline that a little?
* I love the casino, but I think you should've placed the ABD elsewhere, it cramps the chair a lot in that left corner. Maybe kick out the bureau thingy in the right lower corner and put it there. And move the billiard table one to the right so that it can be circled, because you need access to the whole table when you play billiard, and you got the space, might as well use it.

7- Nanas house. Color coordination. Yes good thank you this makes my heart happy. It's so kitsch oh god xD (take it as a compliment!)
* Lovely opposite rooms again with the all pink and all blue rooms in the right and left rooms.
Also, thank you for providing just a seashell music box, and no other music, because they never mix well.
* Cute kitchen! That's also a pretty clever way to arrange the furniture in there.
* That garden I want to steal it and never give it back. How did you even aquire so many leif items I am intensely jealous.

8- There is a map. This is a very cool idea.

9- Love how you handled the train station, with the grass there.

Negative:

1- Nothing on the beach? Awh. Also there is something in your island basket and it's driving me mad that I can't open it. Not really important tho, just- slightly irritating.
You could provide a wetsuit and put some cute surprises on the part of the beach cut off by the waterfall!

2- Are the bamboo shots in front of the camsite intentional…? Dug 'em up expecting something cool x)
Same goes for the two pictures on the left of Re-Tail.

3- The playground/Konpeito Park is nice, but could definitely use more. Since it has playground parts, you could make it a bit more playground like? This is a really nice one, imo.

4- Uh. What's up with that streetlight by Nana's house it's in the middle of the road. Just- feels very random.


As for what to put behind your town hall, hm…
You could always go with a little chill area, some lounge chairs and some food and pretty grass patterns. Maybe something to incorporate the pond? You could leave a fishing rod there and put a picnic blanket and a drinking fountain and/or water pump up. Too bad there is no grill PWP.
Topiaries might be nice too.

Or if you're feeling lazy drop a piece of art there, but eeh, bit bland.

I think fishing rod, picnic blanket, maybe a bench and some drinking water, + any pretty greenery you can fit is the nicest. It'd work well with the little pond and water noise.


I hope that helped you somewhat! Overall, you have an absolutely stunning and lovely town, and it was really lots of fun to explore!

 

[nammie]

wow thanks for a really detailed review!! and to addresss the negatives/questions!!

the backroom was supposed to be a bunch of little animals watching a play about a weird demon marriage LOL yea I thought it was a bit cluttered but I wasn't sure what to remove... same with the basement!! I'll def look into your suggestions

yea will work on the beach soon, right now its still a dumping ground for hybrids lol
and omg I didnt even know I still had something in the basket!! will have to pick that up!!

and the bamboo in front of the campsite oh no lol.... also.... my bad memory heh.... will have to check everything more closely when I next update

and the streetlight was to make sure no villagers plot their butts there LOL I'll prob get rid of that when I get my last dreamie!!

yea I reallly wanted to expand the playground but there's just no room bc it's so close to three things so it's just a tiny park haha :')

and ooooh those are good ideas for the areas behind the town hall!! once I get the weeding day topiaries unlocked I'm def gonna look into adding some of those at least somewhere, if not there behind the town hall *u*

thanks so much again for such a detailed review!! I'm glad you liked my town!

 

[tarakdeep]

[Cudon]

Thanks for the review nammie uwu. Also the first room of my mayors house just has random crap in it for now. Gonna make it a welcoming room or w/e. The other human character houses are just random storage for now aswell x3

Likes:
-zen theme
-lamps and clocks leading to bridges

-Tarkdeep's house
*that's a lot of gold
*princess' room
*ice room

-Jinora's house
*cafe

-Akiza's house
*very nice presentation(I don't know if you purposely left it un-expanded or not)

-Mueseum
*spaceship
*zodiac showcase
*what's a convenience store doing here?

Dislikes:
-zen bell next to trash can and ReTail
-path seems to conflict with town's theme

-Jinora's house
*feels a little empty
*regal room's carpet and wall conflict with furniture(I know same series but don't look good after altered)


Suggestions:
-move zen bell to other side of city hall
-plant some trees west of Museum
-plant some trees/bamboo around ReTail, the campsite, windmill, and zen garden
-experiment with more natural looking paths
-might see if switching Tiki Torches for Beacon Fires looks better
-place a path going through the Wisteria Trellis

Final Thoughts: town feels conflicted between the zen theme and the overly structured feel of the town.

I would like a review! My Dream Address is 4300-2529-7903.

I have some screenshots:

Spoiler

 

[MisterEnigma]

Hey Hana, your screenshots are beautiful! I'll definitely have to visit soon, hopefully sometime tomorrow! Also, I'm in the process of...well, having a town crisis. I'm not happy with it even though I've worked hard on trying to remodel it and make it somewhat cohesive but I'm just unsure of it and a little uninspired. Any words of advice would absolutely help! My address is: 4400-3491-6751

Thanks in advance to any who can help me.

 

[Diclonius217]

I would love a review! I've only played for a few months now, and have almost all my dreamies, but my town is FAR from done, my DA is in my signature

 

[Yukari Yakumo]

needing a review of mine.

Have several ideas about next addition but can't decide which. only have 1 pwp slot left.
1) want to put 2-3 square/circle topiaries along the row of cosmos north of Reimu's house, which would mean demolishing 1-2 other pwps

2) putting a statue fountain where the cosmos are, and replacing the existing statue fountains with square/circle topiaries

3) same as 2 except move the geyser to around the cosmos and putting the statue fountain where the geyser is now

Thank you for your review Yukari. I'm glad you took notice of the things I worked hard on. Hana's basement is kind of meant to have a story that's up to interpretation, my original idea was that it was a little girl meeting an alien and telling him about Earth but then I thought maybe it could be a girl and a boy with blueprints for a home they wanted to build. No, Ethyl's left room is not sparse on purpose, I just haven't gotten around to expanding it yet. XD So for now it's just meant to be a room for the hearth. I might change up Ethyl's basement a bit to make it more distinct from the main room since you mentioned it. HN.ezumi's main room has a lot of stereos because I wanted it to have the feeling of being a major audiophile's house, but I might change it up when I can find other things that fit into the theme. And yeah I do need to expand the basement too.

Since you said you need a review too I've written one for you it return:

First off: I feel like I'm missing something with all the dolls, auroras, pentagrams, and players' dialog? Is it a reference to an anime or something?

Likes
+ Awesome ground patterns! The paths, steps, and waterways are all really cool.
+ Natural pathways!
+ The little park just below the plaza is very cute.
+ I LOVE your bamboo forest.
+ What you did with that narrow strip of land at the top right corner of your town is pretty neat.
+ Overall nice placement of paths and PWPs

Alice's house:
+ Starry night patterned Alpine series in main room
+ Very fancy bathroom

Marisa's house:
+ The forest hidden behind the bookcase is a fun idea

Reimu's house;
+ Lovely Japanese themed rooms
+ The hiding place behind the tokonoma XD
+ Blue regal series in a heaven themed room is a really nice match

Yukari's house:
+ VERY cool spooky basement

Dislikes:

- A few rooms in the houses are almost empty
- A lot of the rooms have some pieces of furniture with colors that clash with the other furniture or wallpaper/flooring.
- I think a dreamy sounding song like K.K. Ballad would go better with the mood of the night sky patterned furniture in Alice's main room than K.K. Etude

Suggestions: I think you could improve the town by unifying the themes of your rooms, particularly in regards to putting together furniture which has colors that complement each other and the wallpaper and flooring. For the PWP ideas you asked for suggestions on: I think option 2 would be the best, definitely.

Final thoughts: It was an interesting town to visit with a unique layout and feel to it. The bamboo forest and the paths and waterways are my favorite parts.

Rating: 4/5

 

[aemohescuro]

Would anyone do a layout review of my town? I need help planning where a bunch of PWPs are and how my layout should go. I'm kinda going for an olden, tranquil town with reddish paths. Also reviews of my houses would be nice, I'm trying to make them nice and unique, but I think they're coming off a bit cluttered.

The southern half of my town also feels really empty since Freya and Klaus moved out But I'm getting Dizzy to move in, so maybe I can fix that up a bit.

PWPs I want to add:
Police Station (Probably the Classic one?), possibly next to the Mayor's house, next to Tangy's house, next to Kody's house, or in the Orange Forest
Flower Clock (I have no idea where I want to add this, I don't even have it yet)
Bus Stop (Probably along one of the paths, maybe near the top)
Rip up all the bridges and put in brick bridges

Any suggestions of other PWPs and where they might look nice would be grand!

Also I was considering adding a fourth character's house across the road from Kody's house, and then putting a brick bridge at the intersection where their houses would meet.

Can I have a review on my town? Dream address is in my signature c:

 

[Hana-Nezumi]

Also I was considering adding a fourth character's house across the road from Kody's house, and then putting a brick bridge at the intersection where their houses would meet.

That might not work; I don't know the number of squares exactly, but I know a good amount of space is needed between bridges and houses.

 

[aemohescuro]

That might not work; I don't know the number of squares exactly, but I know a good amount of space is needed between bridges and houses.

Yeah, I haven't quite tested it yet, but the house is going to be about three squares away from where the bridge is going to be. I know the bridge behind the Mayor's house is about 5 squares away and that works fine, but I'm not sure about closer. I'm sure Truffles's house is far enough away though.

 

[Yukari Yakumo]

was going to rate Fawfuls, but don't remember and wouldn't want to just repeat advice already given

@Nezumi
Thanks. And you're right. The basis for my town and characters is Touhou Project, and the basement in Reimu's and every room in Alice's house is for a different character(highlighted by the dolls and the flowers in each room).
