Let me review your town!

I really love wandering around in dream towns, so I thought - why not try and help some while I'm doing it? So if you want, post your dream address and I will write a review! I will let you know what I think works and what doesn't. I will make suggestions on how to improve your town and what to work on :)

So post your address and let me dream!

(In return, if you'd like, it would be awesome if you could review my town. It's really amazing with some feedback, so I would be very grateful)

I think for the area above rosies house and whitneys would be a great place to have a mini garden with money trees!

Visiting now...

For the 2x4, maybe put an illuminated heart? Or maybe cut off the extra path and put a picnic blanket there?

For the 7x10 area, I'd suggest putting bushes and trees around the edges, and putting a PWP like an illuminated clock, flower clock, hot spring, or really, just something that's decorative and is 3 units wide. Or, you could do 2 1x1 PWPs, one 2 units north of the other, in the center of the area. You could use something like the topiaries, illuminated tree, even the face-cutout standee might even work. Surround those with flowers, and I'm sure it'll look fine.

I'll start visiting your town, JellyBeans, and then I'll go visit your town, FireNinja :)
 
I'm just going to quickly update mine, or are you there already?

there hasn't been much updated since last time - i finished my orange and pink cosmo lined path and completed my rainbow rose garden

I'm already here :)


JellyBeans:
Paths - I loooove them! They are so cute and pretty! It seems like you've connected everything! But what about the paths from the bulletinboard and past the campsite? Is that on purpose that the paths are different? It would be nice if you used the same paths all around :)
Trees - I love the trees around your plaza! It looks pretty!
PWP's - it's a shame that the caf? is just 1 or 2 squares(I don't know what it is called) too close to the edge. But it's not all that bad :) The park-like items next to the townhall would be really awesome if you got some paths, bushes or flowers around it, so you can see that it is a part of the town and not just a little place for it self :)
You could, in general, use some more PWP's, perhaps the wisteria trellis, log bench or windmill. Perhaps a fountain or two to fill out empty spaces?
Flowers - Your rainbow-rose garden is really pretty, but it takes up a lot of space :) If I were you, I would split it up or somehow make it smaller, so it could fit in better.

Your town seems like it's coming along really nicely. There is a lot to work on, like most towns, but it seems like you have a plan :) I like your paths and the path-system you have now, it seems great. It's a bit unclear to me if you have a theme or not? Perhaps settling on a theme would make it easier to work on the rest of your town :)
I would love to see your town when you have worked a little bit more on it, it seems like it's going to be great! So keep up the good work!
I love your town map and the placement of your bridges!

FireNinja-

Paths - Your paths is only single, and not double(don't know how else to describe it) but it seems to work. Normally I prefer double paths, but yours seems nice! I would, however, like some paths that lead to the caf?.
Flowers - It seems like you've got a plan for which flower goes where, but right now it seems confusing. It would be wonderful if it was more "clean", so you separated the flowers in color or species :)
PWP's - The zen garden is totally working with the paths! I love it! The signs showing directions are really good! The illuminated heart with the bench is just adorable :) Your PWP's seems fine and there is a fair amount of them :) Some streetlights wouldn't hurt, if you do want to build some more :)
Trees - They seem to be placed somewhat along the paths.

In general -
You get a clear idea of what theme you are going for and it all seems to fit in! Your PWP's seems to be placed right and the paths and bamboo suits the theme really nice! But your town is messy and confusing :( Perhaps cleaning up some of the items on the ground or cutting down the bamboo so it's only half the size would help? It would make it easier to get an overview of your town without running confused around :)
So my advice for you would be: clean up and put the flowers in systems :) Perhaps make your paths double instead of single. It's hard to run around/walk around without running into something.

I have a slight fairytale theme, but I need some PWPs suggested first! I'm planning on putting all the PWPs you mentioned in my town when they're suggested. And it is on purpose that the ones by the bulletin board is different, but I may change it to the same as the rest. I'll go visit your town now!

I did sense some fairytale-ish c: Oh those PWP suggestions! I'm currently working on getting a whole lot myself! And I do hope that you could use my review to something! And please keep your town updated, I'd like to visit it again! :D
 
Review mine, please? It's still a WIP, but mainly the southwest area.

I dreamed of your town and unfortunately don't have any ideas for the smaller area. If the bigger area is going to be accessible only from the bottom, anything tall would look really awesome in the horizon. Like the tower or topiaries, for example. Or both at the same time!

I'll get right to it! And thank you for dreaming of my town! I will consider the idea of a tall thing :D

Paths - I like the paths that goes south-east from the plaza. But after a few steps the path gets weird, there are holes in it and it ends all out of nothing? I also think you should decide wether you are going for a single path or a double path. I like the double :) Your paths should also connect everything in your town, so perhaps make paths from the villagers houses? :)
Trees - I really like the cedar trees at the train station! Wonderful idea and it works perfectly!
Flowers - I like the color themes with your flowers! It really works! Right under Recycle it seems a bit confusing with all the cosmos flowers. You could spread them out around your town to make it seem less messy? :)
PWPs - Your drilling-area seems to work, but with missing paths to the houses nearby it seems confusing. I don't know where to go :o

In general - I really like your town! Your layout is special, but really awesome! Your town is a town, that keeps surprising and I really like that! But it's confusing and messy. I would recommend that you put down paths all around town. A path system that connected everything, so it is easy to walk around.
Next - organize your flowers a bit more. Your color schemes are awesome, but less is more! :) And remember - no items on the ground. It looks so messy and ruins the calm and scenic areas of your town.
You have a lot to work with and I would look forward to visit your town again! You have some great ideas and lots of potential in what you already have! Keep up the good work!
 
It seems that we have very different opinions on paths, haha. I don't like to connect everything with them, especially the houses. See, at first I didn't even like paths, I've come a long way, haven't I.

Augh, and I try to tidy up before updating and it's still messy? I can't see it. Unless you meant trash on the beach, which is all intentional~ And pretty much everything else (holes in the path) is as well.

Thank you for the review and compliments! ^-^
 
Hello, I'd adore some feedback for my town, and would be more than happy to provide the same for any who visit my town. I've been working really hard on it lately, it was in a lot of disarray before, and I've just laid a new path I've made. Please let me know what you think, thank you! <3 4400-3491-6751

Well it is a question of personal style and likes and dislikes :) I hope you can still use my review for something :) Perhaps I could review it again? I'd like to hear your idea behind your town :)

Fawful - I'd love to review it! But I don't have time right now, but in about 6 hours I will!
 
I'm not a good reviewster, but the first thing I noticed is how silly Deirdre looks in that fishing vest! I miss that silly girl.

I was worried about the big blank space in the middle, but it looks like a nice park. Following around to the illuminated arch, I was a little confused as to how to get to Merry's house. I really wanted to see the path above the arch connect to the path to her house. Walking across grass just seems wrong to me.

I like all of the greenery on the eastern half of the map, but the western half seems to be a little bare of trees. I feel like it's getting down to nitpicking, but I would like to see the path between Ankha's house and the cafe connect, just so I can get to it from either side. I'm not sure about the plot next to Beau's, but I think illuminated heart does sound good. Since he's the laziest creature on earth, maybe a hammock would be good there for him. :)

The main thing I absolutely need is a bridge to the western neighborhood from the park area. Maybe you're leaving a bridge off to get PWP requests, but I'd need a more direct way to get to my buddy Skye's house. It looks like you're planning something along those lines with the path that goes off to the river from the 7x10 space. I don't know what to do with it, but I see you had a secondary character's house there. If you want a secondary character, that seems like a good space.

If you want to review mine, I would like it to be Mirage. 5700-3256-1328

Oh no, there's no need to. Unless you really, really, reeeally want to. I got to hear what worked, at least! My idea for the town? Hmm, well, nothing overly pretty, barren in a way, shabby, that sort of thing.
