3/4 of my map is perfect cherries. I have millions in the bank and almost have a complete mansion. I've been hesitant to build PWP or paths because I want to do it right. What should I do?
Have people visit your dream address and gather ideas to shape your town together with various PWP's, maybe benches, bells, illuminated stuff, street lights, it's up to you really! There's no right way to do it, it's your town so you can design it however you want. If you want ideas though, ask people to visit your town via Dream Address.
You don't need to worry about pwps too much, because most of them aren't permanent. Only the campsite, cafe, and police station are. All the rest can be taken down and moved if you're unhappy with them.
^ this is actually what I did and I would completely recommend doing this if you're looking for good ideas
I think there's a subreddit (reddit.com if you're unfamiliar with it, just google "reddit acnl dream address sharing" or something) for people posting their dream addresses that they want people to check out so you could get some ideas from there
I think just experiment! You can re-grow the trees if you need to and like Namstar said, most PWPs aren't permanent. And you can always pick-up the patterns! Maybe just focus on a small area for now (that's what I'm doing), and then when you're satisfied with that area, move on to another :>
That's what is great about this game - you can change your mind and redesign it however you see fit! :>
