Permanent Replacement Regrets

The only regret I've ever had was my house placement in my first town. it was right next to the river in a (at the time) somewhat isolated area with my only bridge being a ways up for some time. When I finally could build another bridge, I realized my house was too close and I couldn't place it as I had planned to, so it was always a drag to have to walk all the way up to the left to the bridge and then aaaaallll the way around to re-tail. It got better when I finally put a bridge to re-tail, though. Thank the heavens above that I wasn't too stupid to put my house in the corner on that map. X'D
 
The first time around, I didn't realise some PWP's couldn't be demolished. I put my campsite next to a bridge in the middle of town. I hated having it there because it was always on top of you when you walked over the bridge. Luckily when I demolished the bridge to replace it with a Fairytale one, I put it somewhere else, creating a nice empty corner for the campsite instead.

This time I know not to do that! And I have chosen a spot for the campsite in the corner by the waterfall, with a space for the picnic blanket to go next to it. I still wish all PWP's could be demolished with only the main street buildings an exception. I'm not sure I will even have a police station in my second town. I never used the first one and I don't want to put it somewhere and I later change my mind.
 
Anyone regret where they've placed permanent PWPs or Mayor home? I do! I love my current town but I've placed my house in a really awkward spot. It's placed in the very top corner of town near the waterfall area. My plan was that I'd place my house here and later put a bridge so this would be easier on me but when I went to put a bridge Isabelle kept saying this was too close to my house. Now there is a skinny strip of land and a large lake area that I have to walk all the way around to get to the bridge.


I regretted where I placed the Campsite in a town I have since reset, Temps.

I am glad I placed The Roost Caf? in the center of Applewin. It makes for navigating the town pretty interesting. In a Dream Address visit, you just cross over from the northern to the southern sections of town. You do a little wrap-around and are in front of The Roost Caf?.

In my showcase town, ACNLpics, I refrained from having built a Campsite and a Police Station. I was more focused on methodically arranging, as best I could help it, where to locate villagers. I literally did some grids, on Day #01, for estimating where to allow incoming villagers to locate their house. I ended up handling it well. But, I pretty much ran out of options to include the Police Station (which I wanted more than a Campsite; this town isn't even actively being played by me now because it's a showcase town for visitors to check out the villager pictures on display in the human houses).


When I have built permanent buildings, I locate them away from human and villager houses. I tend to like to locate a Police Station next to another permanent building, like the Town Hall and/or Re-Tail Shop. I let them be neighbors.

For Campsite locations, I imagine them placed somewhere that's likely not to receive incoming villagers moving immediately next door. Of course, the exception with that is in Applewin, my first town, because the Campsite is on the southeast corner of town. Neigbhoring it are Hamlet (west) and Scoot (north). But a path, for walking, and an east/west line of red hibiscus bushed help that Campsite feel a little bit private.

"Animal Crossing: New Leaf" inspires one to be creative. If you come to have regrets, but are willing to work with and around those regrets, you have to get creative with what you do next.
 
I hate where i Put my Police station in two of my towns, My thought, at the time was that they should be centralized.. But they seem awkward and out of place. My third town hasnt gotten the suggestion for the police station yet, but id like to place it Right to the west of the entrance. I have a second house in my second town that i despise the placement of as well, but thats an easy fix :)
 
I don't have any qualms placement-wise, but sometimes I wish I'd chosen the classic police station over the modern one. But then again... I don't know! xD

Id thought that, I used the classic in my first town and modern in the second.. TBH neither of them are very attractive..lol
