Perfect Town Question

[eraev]

I have a quick question on perfect town status.

I logged on one day and found that I had achieved perfect town status -- I had just been naturally playing, growing flowers and adding PWPs, etc. So I was pretty excited, and decided to just wait out the two weeks before changing much else (aside from adding flowers).

Today, I checked on the status of my town, and found that I had dropped below perfect town. Not because of weeds or garbage or anything. I had Beautiful Town on, so I was pretty much set to just wait it out. But what Isabelle said was that I needed more PWPs.

So I'm kind of confused about why one day, I had enough PWPs for Perfect Town status, and the next, did not.

The only possible cause I can think of is that I had a villager move out, putting me from 10 to 9. Does this affect the status of the town, and, specifically, the number of PWPs for a perfect town? Because there wasn't anything else that changed.

I'm pretty sure I read about this happening to someone else, where she had a villager move out and her perfect town status went down. You'll have to get another villager or build more pwps to get it back up again.

If you added like a very,very large amount of flowers you might need another PWP to balance out the nature/PWP ratio.

I think I have read that a villager moving out can affect it as well, though. Maybe wait until someone else moves in and see what it says then. Or add another PWP and see if it changes, and if it doesn't you can just tear the PWP down.

Hmm. Well, I definitely didn't add a lot of flowers. But I'll add the PWP, since I wanted to add one anyway. I was just trying to wait out the two weeks.

When my perfect town status dropped, Isabelle went from saying 'Everybody loves -town name-!' to 'a good balance between natural and developed areas, but add more public work projects'. That was misleading because all I had to do to regain the perfect status was chop down a few trees. Isabelle should just say what's wrong instead of giving vague advice that's not going to help. >.<

I'm assuming it's the proportion of everything? Maybe the ideal ratio of trees to pwps is 5:2 (just an example ofc). You have a 10 trees and 1 pwp, and Isabelle tells you to get more pwps. To balance everything out, you can either make one more pwp or cut down five trees. Of course there's probably other factors too (minimum amounts? spaced out-ness?) but it's probably somethjng like that.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. ^^ I never thought of it like that.

 

[eraev]

Hmm. That makes sense. It's probably the ratio of nature:structures. Loss of one structure means building another. Is it possible to be overdeveloped?

Assuming the ratio theory is right, if you're not perfect then you're always both too developed and too underdeveloped in certain areas.
