What do you look for in a town map?

[I_Jessie_12_xx]

Personally, I look for a map that is convenient right at the beginning with the bridge. For example, here's my map:

Really convenient.

I also like rivers that look like that- not all over the place. And Retail has to be in a place where I can move near.
And I got lucky with this map in terms of those two cute little ponds that are far enough for me to fit a house between.

So you can say the map I have now is my dream map. Lol.

Thats a bit like my map to be honest but my river is a bit higher

And also my map has a river like the one at the top of your map that you showed at the first post

Here is my map: (prepare for lengthy post guys )



What I look for in a map:


Curvy river that isn't so curvy that it takes up too much room

Apples or peaches as native fruit (never happened )

Blue train station

Green or yellow town hall

Little nook to put my house

Private beach (don't have one)

No annoying peninsulas (again, I have one)

Main plaza not near traintracks

^^That's a tough act to follow LOL

I enjoy layouts where the town hall and retail are near each other, and an isolated area for one of my houses to be.

Edit: Oops that's a big picture >.<

Omg your map is like a back to front version of mine :O

i normally want for my river to be horizontal and the event plaza, retail and town hall to be on the top part of the map. i like for my villager houses to be spread out, there's nothing more boring than having them all in a line and it's very annoying when they're packed together in awkward spots. the town map i got when i made my first town in ACNL was like i described (the good parts, not the bad parts) so that's kinda what i'd want if i were to make a new town.

My map can have a verticle river
Town plaza has to be centered
Retail near beach
No narrow spaces
Town fruit cant be orange or pear

 

[Acnl_starfall]

Horizontal river.
Pond in front of train station
Plaza not next to train station
I am trying to be not so picking with my ton layouts anymore

 

[SilkSpectre]

From now on, it'd be apples or cherries and retail by the beach. I do like how my tree is right by the train station though.

I look for:

- blue train station
- blue town hall
- circle grass
- one continuous beach
- town hall north of the river
- retail south of the river near the dock
- room for my house in a secluded area
- minimal ponds (preferably 1 or 2)

In an ideal world I would also want cherries as the town fruit, but I found that made resetting take way too long. My main town meets all of the above criteria and I'm very happy with it despite the peaches. My second town has Retail north of the river, which is inconvenient, but it still has everything else so I'm really happy with it too.

• Verical river
• One or two ponds
• Apples as the town fruit
• Beach on the right side
• Circle grass

I've got all of that except for the circle grass. I like my map a lot, though. The grass isn't that important to me since I plan on covering up most of my town anyway.

I like having the retail and town hall close together with room for only one house in between, then put mine there.

 

[jessicat_197]

I'm not really too picky, mainly because I don't have the patience to keep resetting lol, but when I started my town I wanted a mostly horizontal river, retail close to beach so i can sell my bugs and fish from the island, wanted my town hall and town tree at the top near the station because i dont like having space behind big buildings, and as for beach ramps and ponds and stuff like that I don't mind too much. I'm very happy with my town map and look forward to developing my town.

I actually don't mind the rivers. As long as they aren't too long. I look for:
- cherries /apples /peaches
- red/blue train station (but I don't really mind)
- triangle grass (again, I don't mind)
- 1 or 2 ponds
- Not too many rocks
- Plaza in the middle of town

That's basically it. I'm also looking for a more unique map.
