[Yukari Yakumo]

if anyone can do a review of my town, it would be appreciated.
specifically would like some advice on Yukari and Reimu's gardens and Marisa's caf? and forest.

if someone could help me find a good QR for paths and maybe leave a suggestion as for how I might possibly arrange flowers and paths in my town, I'd appreciate it.

Extra relevant(?) information: Only Zucker and Wolfgang are "permanent" in my town and I have no theme (perhaps it's floral/ natural but idk...)

since much of the layout is still in the works, I won't give a rating on the town, but will have a look around.
For paths, I'd just suggest to look around the internet and keep ones that look appealing to you or your plans for the town. Where to place them is mostly up to you, though it's usually best to have them go between houses and PWPs.

You should definitely cut down the number of flowers. As for placement, around paths is usually good, but you can also create pseudo-paths using them and other plants to sort of herd a player into making a path.

Your path can be very confusing sometimes. There are parts where it gets twisty. It suddenly gets very narrow and hard to follow. Here is what I would change to your path:

Spoiler

Yukari's Garden needs the Bonsai Set.
Reimu's Garden needs tree and mountain standees. It should look like Beau's house.
Marisa's Cafe can add Harvest furniture series. My Larri's house second floor uses the Lovely and Harvest combination. It's like those furniture series are made for each other.
Marisa's forest could use items from the Bug series or the Fish series. For example: the Cicada stereo looks lovely in any sort of nature themed room.

Dislikes:
-overuse of flowers
-no path to Eileen's house
-fountains near plaza are rather hidden

Suggestions:
-remove the middle row of blue roses between the fountains, then plant some near the plaza so it creates a path between the two rows like so:

-might use brighter wall & floor in Brock's main room
-create path/pseudo-path to Eileen's house; like the fountains, try using flowers to lead the person on
-slightly less sad, more upbeat music for Aerith's lobby(Etube maybe?)

Final Thoughts: very nice, though, I feel as though the homes were more impressive than the town itself.

Rating: as a whole: 4/5; excluding houses: 3/5

Thanks for the feedback! I really like your idea for the flowers by the fountains. I'll definitely be using that. And about there being no path to my mayor's house- I totally didn't think through my house's location when I first started the game, and I put it in such an awkward spot So I decided to make it really secluded, though it does make it a little harder to get to.

And thanks for your very nice comments about my houses~

First thing I noticed when I woke up at your town plaza is the pretty colors of your path. I followed your path to everywhere and its layout is great too! The path serves it's purpose and looks great too! You did a fantasic job on paths!
The next thing I noticed are your beautiful flowers. I love the patch of roses by Sydney's house the most! However I know you are just getting started with trees/flowers/bushes landscaping because some parts of your town still looks very empty. I want you to know the perfect example of good plant landscaping can be found right next to your solar panel. I think if your other plants follow similar patterns throughout your town. You shouldn't have any problems with plants.
Let's talk about the rooms at your houses:
Emmy's House:
Egg Series Room: Add pastel kiddie furniture to it. I think those furniture series are made for each other. I decorated my Tete's room with them.
Princess Theme Bedroom: Add more furniture? It felt a bit empty
Basement: expand for more room please
Aaron's House:
Main Room: I think it's still a W.I.P.
Upstairs: You should give the mannequin a top hat and a nice suit. So he looks like a magician.

Sorry Louise,
I am not going to give your a score. You have a brand new town. Instead I made a blueprint of where your path should be if you are planning on building your town:

I love your path and your town structure. There are some really beautiful areas of your town. For example I love the totem pole and the field w/ scarecrow. There are few minor details you need to fix around your town. First of all the spot north of Retail to train station lacks order. You should line the trees up and plant them all across. Secondly is the camp fire north of your totem pole... you should fill the black hybrids to the brim around the camp fire. Third problem is the path pattern at your park, you should copy the pattern you used around your cafe. It's much brighter and fits a park theme better. Also remove the tiki torch and make a path that connects park with the path to Bam's house and campsite. Lastly is fix the area around Lucky's house by surrounding his house with path. Other than that I know you are still breeding hybrids. I hope to see your town filled with fields of flowers and trees. You have a very nice town.
Next are your houses. All your rooms are very original. I like them a lot. However there are some rooms where you use too many colors and they look a bit messy.
Noah's left room (cafe): Instead of having patchwork, marshmallow chairs. You should stick with boxed sofas. So they look like they match to the rest of the dinning areas.
Noah's top floor: I seen someone with a similar room before and I felt they did it better. They stuck to the Japanese garden theme items and bonsai trees. It was very roomy and simple in terms of # furniture pieces and colors. To me less furniture and colors in a garden seems more pleasing because his/her garden felt more relaxing.
Elliot's left, middle and right rooms should all get the mushroom wall. Or the middle room get the exotic wall or cabin wall.
Elliot's top room's ranch sofa seem out of place, try sofas from the cabin, exotic or classic series.
Elliot's bottom room... LOL good job on hiding the doobie.
Apricot's house is amazing I love it. It must of taken you ages to get the top floor! The mini dinosaurs are so adorable!

Thanks for letting me visit your dream. I had tons of fun doing your dream review.

Final Thoughts: have a good start, but it's so under-developed. needs a lot of love to begin to shine.

I'm mostly looking for ideas on what to place on a piece of land east of my train station across from a bunch of black cosmos, but a review wouldn't hurt either.

Suggestions:

-remove some flowers around the hot spring and let the bamboo grow wild between there and the train station
*I have a very similar layout in that spot; might dream of my town to compare in case you'd like ideas

-Klauser's house
*right: different music and move the milk case from the left room to here

Final Thoughts: very nice. just need to work out a few kinks.

Review for Yukari Yakumo
Town: Gensokyo
DA: 4300-3991-1601

Liked:
- first off, I love the paths you used around your town tree! They work really well with the rainy atmosphere of your town
- love the bamboo arrangements/PWPs around town hall!! It fits the zen theme really well!
- not sure if this was intentional, but I liked how Ken's house was sort of hidden in the bamboo forest... suits the fact that he looks like a ninja haha
- all the dead trees around Stonehenge looked really cool!!

Reimu's House:
- sometimes I wasn't sure what you were going for? i.e. the left room, was that supposed to be like... a hotel room with a private bath or...? lol
- I liked the art in the back room, it looked like a painting/art studio to me maybe add like a... photo corner with the vintage camera and stuff like that?
- if you want to use Gracie stuff for the right room, maybe make it a posh lounge?
- wasn't sure if your upstairs and downstairs had themes...? I thought upstairs was heaven, and was expecting hell when I went into the basement lol

Yukari's House:
- use of customized furniture in main room was nice
- loved the bathhouse room!
- all the gyroids in the top room was a nice touch haha
- maybe hide the cicada in the back room behind something bigger? it brought a lot of atmosphere to the room though!
- was the basement some... summoning... room??? lol

Alice's House:
- the furniture customized to look like the night sky was really nice!
- fancy right room hehe
- the spa in the left looked so calming!!
- what was that doll doing upstairs lol...
- basement was a bit creepy, but in a cool way!!

Marisa's House:
- main room looked super cozy with the cabin stuff!
- the left room looked so sweet!
- right/back room looked a bit empty, maybe put some mushrooms (i.e. famous mushrooms) on the floor as decoration?
- top looks like you're going for a lab kind of look...? maybe add more bugs/fish and plants? and a diff. wallpaper like the jungle wall or something would look nice!
- not sure what was going on in the basement lol
- since your character was dressed like a witch, I was expecting like witchy... stuff in the house haha

------

Suggestions/Questions:
- I'm not sure why you have random snow paths...? lol and more bushes around the paths would help them look more finished imo!
- your flowers sometimes seem kinda randomly arranged, maybe try to have some more organization to how your flowers are placed?
- sometimes your paths are a bit hard to follow, esp the narrow ones;;
- the exterior of Yukari's house didn't seem that fitting...? and my exterior I mean like your roof choice and stuff.

Thank you for the hair buns. May I say? ... You have an amazing plant friendly town! It's absolutely lush with life! There are a few suggestions I have in mind to improve your town. I hope you understand what I am about to suggest:
I love your pink/blue brick path. However if you add in too many path designs... it makes your path too colorful. I think you should stick to the blue/pink brick path; instead of using a brown wooden planks here, a brown/blue water path there, and bright pink/green stone path everywhere. Too much of everything could look a bit messy.
I think you should fix the areas between the train station to the police station and around the campsite. The path next to the police-train station is confusing especially with the turns and twists. Also the path doesn't connect to anything by the police station which is strange. Next is: your campsite needs landscaping and path or it doesn't look very appealing.
I love the flowers and plants the most. So let's talk about how to improve your flower landscaping. Overall it's very colorful and lovely. However there are places where you have a pattern/theme of flowers and in the middle is a random flower. For example a pretty pattern of red and yellow cosmos and in the middle a random red pansy is sticking out. Please fix the red pansie so your flower patterns are consistent. Also you used too much of species and colors of flowers at certain areas of your town. For example your Cafe area is surrounded by orange+white+red pansies, red+yellow+pink cosmos, and black roses. I suggest you focus an large area like the cafe with one species of flower in 1-3 colors.
Finally let's move on to your houses... I love the flower room. It's very nice.
The mermaid room... you need to take out the flounder table and frog chair. Those furniture pieces doesn't fit in nicely with the mermaid series. I suggest pink regal series to fit in with mermaid series.
The polka dot room... the ABD, black cat, sunrise lamp are out of place. I suggest mushroom series to match with the polka dot series.
Your kitchen and bed room need upgrading. So at the time I won't be critiquing those rooms.
I'll give your town a score 7.5/10. I believe if you organized your flowers more and used less different path designs. Your town will look better. However I still love your green lush town. Thank you for letting me dream of your town.
