Tips on decorating town?

[xoeffy]

I've found that in every animal crossing game I'm never fully happy with the way my town is set up. I already reset a couple weeks ago because I wasn't happy with the layout and what I did with it, and again I find myself not happy with where this town is going. I usually pick a path that I really love, but then I have a hard time laying it down. It ends up looking so unorganized. And the same with trees and PWPs. I just suck at decorating I guess haha. Does anyone have any tips on how you decorated your town? Or maybe you could give me your dream address so I could come over and get some inspiration? thanks

You can visit my town! I'd say it's pretty average, but I put a lot of work into my paths~
Maybe you just need to visit and get ideas. There are some really great towns out there that people spend weeks on perfecting. xD

I have some pictures up on my blog if you want to see them: http://freshfromnewarbor.blogspot.com/

My dream address is listed in my blogger profile description there.


I always like lots of flowers in a town. Especially hybrids!

The main tip I'd have is to make proper use of your plants. Lining paths with flowers, bushes, and trees makes a big difference in turning a path that looks like it was just planted there turn into a path that almost begs you to follow it and see where it leads~

I haven't shown my town to many people, but those who have seen it seem to like it well enough. x_x Personally, I think I could still do so much more with it, and once I get my extra chars access to the QR machine, I'll choose some more flexible path patterns to use.

I'm the same way! I go to peoples dream towns a lot, and my friends towns and see how beautiful they all turn out. I go find some nice paths, grab as many flowers as I can carry and go to work....it takes me hours and by the time I'm done, I hate it. I can never get my towns to turn out how I like them. They either look all over the place and unorganized like you said, or I overdo it (in my eyes) and end up removing it all.

Visiting dream towns is probably the best way to get ideas. Don't forget it's not always about projects either. A nice garden or orchid can really spruce up an otherwise boring area. As for paths, it won't always be perfect, but try to make the most of it. I think people magically think that all the important buildings will align allowing for straight paths when really it's not usually anywhere near that.

Just go visit people's town in the Dream Suite and see what you like and try to make it yours.
Get some inspiration from others.

I think the secret to making a beautiful town, is by making the town your own. Back in ACCF I would reset because I hate my town and other towns looked better, but really I never gave my town a chance.
