Share your on-grid-paper-drawn town map!

I tried it on .5 cm paper but I ended up needing four papers.
And this is making me hate my river even more
Rivers are 4 spaces wide everywhere, right?

I also made a digital map. But I don't think that all of the houses are completely correct because I was too lazy to actually look it up in the game yet. What do you think of it?
Any ideas what I could place above Tammi and Bianca?

I think that a coffee shop near the cliff, or maybe a lighthouse would be adorable!

I really want to do this, but I have no grid/graph paper. I'll have to go purchase some this weekend.

This is what ive worked out for thefront of my train station. Idk if I like it though. The center pwp is a fountain and the two on the side are illuminated hearts. The one at the bottom is an arch I think but idr for sure. Haha suggestuons please? Id really like to make my town pretty:3

Ahhh, these are all fantastic and I am horribly envious of everyone's patience and ability to count tiles and figure all of the spacing out in your towns!
I actually tried the moment I started my town, but kept getting off count and thrown off my my river. And then the process of going in and counting where everything is within each acre, and how large they are was just far too tedious.

I ended up just overlaying a grid onto my town map, and as I've noticed other people mention before, I'm not too sure on how accurate it is. I think it'll suit me enough to figure out basically where I want things to go, however.

I haven't actually started landscaping or working on projects yet. A part of me is debating going back and laying down tiles again, just so everything will be perfect.

I would suggest, though, for anyone planning to do that to try to count and lay them down in one day without saving!
And then begin the process of making your map so that you can exit the game with saving and not have to go around and pick up every single tile you put down x_x

Though that would also imply having to count tiles and create a map all in one day, which also sounds painful.

I prefer digging holes to count because they go away after a day.

I had thought making two patterns, each with a different bright colored border, would help me in separating the acres and keeping count. I might go back in and try again with the shovel instead of patterns. I'd like to try hand drawing a map, since I don't have decent program to nicely edit the digital map with.

I'm pretty sure my digital map is fairly accurate, though. I went in and counted the tiles between a few things to compare, and it matched up perfectly. So maybe I can base a hand drawn map off the digital, and use holes to make sure things are aligned just right. I'll have to go snag some graph paper, though!

nice drawing . i thought i was obsessed. but i already have everything laid out

I'm actually all for the Lighthouse idea- that spot is perfect! But I could also see a seaview garden nestled back there. Maybe a picnic blanket surrounded by flowers, or a bench.

Town map update~!
I've been working on this quite a bit, and let me just say- it has been painful, lol!
I started off making a digital version of my town map, but I don't have a very decent editing program. Therefore, I find it very hard on my eyes to stare at this.
So then I decided to try it on grid paper.
It took four pages ;n;

So I went back to the digital xD

I've decided it's much easier for me to brainstorm and doodle on the graph paper version, and then use the squares on the digital version to see how everything looks and will look overall.

The brown squares bordering my cliff edges and river actually represent the holes I dug to count. I don't know why, but it's much easier for me to view the perimeter of those areas @_@
I haven't actually started to build or plan anything yet, and I still need to go in and label things and houses.
I didn't put in one villagers house, because she's moving in a few days anyway.
I might update this later!

I've recently started to do this as well... And I keep making mistakes... (stupid river is trying to be 5 squares! >.<) Things don't match up, and it's taking me days to do this map of mine... You have any tips on how I do it more accurately? I was in the middle of plot resetting when I got the idea of copying my map, so I can't load my main character with the shovel. So I've been placing items/tiles instead of digging holes....

EDIT: the river doesn't seem to match with the rest of the map -cringe-
EDIT 2: I finally got it done! Yay!
