Plotting a new map, for the first time

[lykkelille]

I am starting my first main town, meaning i have no expirience what so ever when it comes to plot resetting or making paths.

I am really not sure what to do. I dont need all villagers in a straight line, but i would like to have tidy pathing and all villagers on the upper half. I am also wondering how close to the river is too close? If i want to make flowers around their houses and a path below?
I have my dreamies powersaved, should i move in 9 randoms first, then set up pwps to block everywhere and THEN move dreamies in? Or should i just move dreamies in from villager 6-10? I am so lost.. Trying to plot reset the first villager now but he refuses to go to an ok spot and keeps on plotting too close to the river... Eeeks.

I would be VERY happy for some tips and trocks!!

Nice map btw! I don't know anything about powersaves but I'd say try to plot in 6-10 first. Also, if you find that the villager keeps plotting in an undesirable location, try completely powering off your DS and popping the cartridge in an out. That will break the pattern. That doesn't mean it will put him/her in the "perfect" spot but it will at least generate a new chain of placements.

The PWP trick is a good idea but you'd have randoms moving-in in the meantime. You could always then try to cycle everyone out. I'd say whatever is your preference!

Also, the key is patience: I plot re-setted Pashmina for 3 days before she'd go in the right spot! Good luck to you!
