Woooooo
Well, you wanted lengthy, but I’m almost sorry by how long this is. & how annoying I am. But if you could count non-short sentences instead of 10-sentence-paragraphs, that would be amazing. This ended up taking longer than I thought. o.o I am so picky.
Maybe I could review dreams for people. o.o?
Town ~
Hello, Oxford!
It says ‘brick’ to me, and Marina came to greet me. <3 But there’s bricks everywhere! An immediate suggestion would be to put out clothes/megaphone/diving suit/streetpass things/food for your dreamers.
You have a few stumps, and most of them are regular. If you’re going to leave them, then try to have special ones; silver axes last way longer if you use a gold/regular axe for the first two cuts. Unless you don’t like special ones. The mushrooms are so darling, being incorporated into some of the paths. I’m missing some little round ones, though you have plenty of clovers and stoney blocks that make it all nature-y.
Your campsite has two such forest-y entrances/pathways to the right of the plaza. As I come down from the camp, because there is a path of brick down there, I’m met with a tree! If you chop it, then you not only have another access point, but your perfect trees are neat in just one row here.
*she kept following me, giving me looks*
Moving down to a that jut of land-it’s a perfect niche for the cafe; well done. I have sweet olives next to mine too. Then there’s the ramp, and you’ve got a hybrid breeding beach. Alrighty, but it so sad to not see a palm tree or other things; since you have a tranquil town, then perhaps palms are too loud? You have shells on the other ramp-yay, me too-so maybe you could just lay shells in patterns or put some qr sand castles or something.
In front of Naomi’s house has soooo much potential! You have a windmill next to her and tulips of pink and white. Nearby are the picnic area and Marina’s adorned with more pink. You could have a rose archway in front of her house & have pink & red & white flowers.
Past Marina’s is where the sidewalk ends. And there’s no flowers or anything, so it’s a naked lighthouse. I said potential before, but there’s a lot here too. Since it’s seaside, you could place some fountains, benches, a well, a moai statue…take your pick. Walking up, there’s the mayor’s, Dierdre’s and a bridge, which are developed. But I think I’ve found you a place to put a wisteria trellis — where the emerald is. I know takes up more than one spot, but around there. The trellis is best when one can actually use the four directions it can connect; there’s the lighthouse in the south. You don’t have to connect the bridge if you want to keep those bushes, of course, but it’s just an idea. And you have that little space beside Preston’s with a stump that you could put a clock or a bench because it’s atop the waterfall.
I love Annalise, and I love how you’ve landscaped around her! I was a little surprised not to see some black flowers, but you have a lot of white/black elsewhere. And then bam! Tower and modern light alert. It looks fantastic at night, though I was taken aback because you have so much nature going on; and then I remembered the brick pavement. Well, noticed it again. A brown brick works great, by the way, as a mesh between the two themes. And if you’re going to do that, be sure to add some more modern touches.
Coming to Roald’s! I love how the sides of the pathway between Annalise and Roald are not matchy matchy but still totally lovely. In front of the penguin is an odd-but cute-semicircle of trees. …You could totally put a cake there or something, I dunno. Bury a treasure box or a King Tut Mask.
And I just want to say Pancetti is so yummy-er-adorable looking in a flan tank. Check that-you’ve done and made her into a Miss Piggy! She needs a froggy chair or a frog in her house, STAT.
Then there’s a humble Stonehenge…and the are morphs over into an Asian theme. Zucker, zen things, a hot spring behind Re-Tail, bamboo, lillies-it’s so different from the rest, but with the black and white flowers, it’s still cohesive.
Town hall has an anchor flag? How come? Behind it is another spot to put something. A bus-top since it’s next to the tracks too? Some trees? A scarecrow that overlooks Isabelle’s shoulder and freaks her out? Mwahahaha.
Moving on, there’s two ponds and a strip of land, you could put in a well or oh even that lit up clock and in front of that, next to the brick pathway, a lit arch. Light + light.
Then there’s that area between Wolfgang and Bruce. How’s about a tough but cool totem pole or Moai statue or cube sculpture? You’ve got a classic station, so with the modern train station, you’ve got a good mix of things. And you already have a totem pole-great! Again, it’s not something one normally sees in towns, but it needs some attention. Having it bare wouldn’t be bad, but there’s that pesky dirt. To wrap up, there’s Mint and Marshal; are those purple tulips indicative of his ears? :3 I like how there’s blue pansies nearby because of his rooftop, and that there’s white all around to tie it all together.
Houses ~
Purple sleek is my favorite sleek and you have the pieces arranged spaciously. Purple pairs well with the two articles of gold and the touches of pinks/reds too. Ahh you could throw in a purple throne but that would throw off the theme or mood. The sweets bookcase almost stands out, but that Elizabethan Tower is also rectangleish with striations. It helps to balance that in-your-face-waffle, but I suggest putting the bookcase along another wall so the it’s not just a rectangle. And though it doesn’t stick out color-wise, there’s two musical things in here. With so much furniture available, you could easily replace a redundant one. Oh and this isn’t you in particular, but I just find it odd that the first room in the house is a bedroom. It feels like I’m…imposing. XD
To the left of the main room is the campus set and some special pics. Sure it’s cramped, but you can switch the sticker tape with the window-obscuring closet. The right minimal room is like a sitting room. There’s coffee, KK Soul, and lots of space. And-well I know it’s a set, but there’s another bed in here with an obnoxious alarm clock. And what’s with the ironing board? I’m not going to feel relaxed if I see there’s my laundry still to do. However, Marshal and Mint’s pics are great here; both in color and in a yummy theme. So I’d like to see some more food things.
In the back, it’s-quite literally-gorgeous-and there’s KK Milonga—I love that one too! Anyway, your assortment of wall things is lovely, especially that world map. And speaking of food, you’ve got a masquerading prince serving gourmet things! I feel really underdressed in my pajamas. But not quite, because of that bed. Maybe you could have a bed-in-breakfast. XD
And now for the downstairs…holy Isabelle…I’m in Atlantis—well, a teeny one; an Atlantian bubble. I say Atlantis because of the pillars. The aurora screens all along the walls are so ethereal. I’d like Stale Cupcakes or something soft because I’m underwater, not on an island, but this ended up being my favorite room.
The upstairs has a beach scene—with more food. Oh and that’s a happy and cute idea for the music boxes and shells—the latter of which you don’t see much of in houses.
Naomi is just getting started with a pinafore and a rustic cottage, but it’s cute that there’s that birdhouse clock inside and a birdhouse type mailbox outside. And..with more food—a pot of something that beautifully blends in with the autumn leaves. Patchy looks good amidst the reds and golds, but I’m not sure about a birch floor. It blends in so much that the top/back of the chair doesn’t even look like it’s there. It’s interesting though; makes it reminiscent of being lost in the woods, so I also like it. I’m torn. Waaait I went to look in your villager houses and it’s the same wall and floor as Dierdre! Who also has a rare picnic basket.

Okay so yeah, this will be my review of your dream town.
Like someone on this thread said already, you can indeed base yourself on a theme. Paint a picture in your head and it will make everything much easier. A Brittish university theme would be very fitting. You can make three extra houses, the first designing them like kindergarden & elementary school, the second making it middle & high school, and the third one a university. You could make the flag Brittish. Just an idea though!
What I kind of missed was the variation of pattern usage. Maybe add an extra path or something so that it'll look more 'real'. But it's also nice how you keep it nice and simple. That way, it's really easy to find my way in town!
I like how the caf? is situated by the beach, but I'm kind of a freak for symmetry, so I would've placed it a few more steps the the left haha. Maybe also put some flowers around your picnic plaid? It looks a little empty there now. Oh and you have a good map in general. Don't know why but I find the placing of Re-Tail really cozy.
Also checked out your house and it was nice and all in general. I saw you already have a room that's kind of school themed? Hey, that furniture can be used. My favourite room was the first room on the left. Liked how it formed a contrast between the other rooms lmao, showing your soft side (?).
In overall, it was really nice there. I would definitely visit again to see the end results!

Well As I fall asleep I wake up In oxford. I first notice many small gardens, pink flowers and clovers. Make my way around the corner, a long row of white flowers. I stumble upon a cafe, beautifully decorated with roses, but closed at such late hours 
. Pass a couple mushrooms that lead down to the beach and decide to follow the brick-walk street! Walk by a villager with a lovely dress on named Naomi and she says: Blackjack Forever haha, whatever that means 
. I pass a bridge and decide to go check out what seems to be the villager Naomi's House! Small but cute. Maybe I'll take a nap. its the cutest little hut. With Navajo inspired furniture, and a nice warm soup waiting for me to devour. Now that I've enjoyed my soup on to some more adventures in Oxford!
Hung out at the picnic seats by the windmill for a little bit but I was in a hurry to check out something else. In my pajamas the draft was making me chilly!
I see a bunch of red white and blue houses leading up to what seems to be 2 houses. One smaller than another the Mansion was more appealing to me. So I snuck passed the owner's house to see what was inside. Hopefully he didnt mind, he left the door open
. Open up to a very cool club looking area. Cool purple furniture everywhere and a DJ Booth! Wonder what else is in this house. Behind the Club is a very elegant Room, with everything you could imagine inside. Luxury couches, a bar with Food, and even a bed. I couldnt crack the safe :O.
I musnt spend all my time in one place, but the modern bedroom was very cute, as was the small notebook room and the Upstairs beach and the downstairs Shark sanctuary. I loved the house, Ill have to bring some design tips back to jumbly. Off to roam the rest of the town. I stumble upon pansies in a field that end up being under a STONE HENGE LIKE STRUCTURE THIS IS AWESOME
. You can see town hall through the cracks!
I passed many villagers houses, like Roald, and Bruce, and Wolfgang but it was too late nobody was awake. Guess Ill check out whats up with booker! I'm starting to get tired I hope someones awake.
Well he was up and friendly (sorta, not really), and there were a lot of cool items. But im not a resident so Booker wasnt offering. I guess its time for me to go to bed. I had a great time today here in oxford. Ill take one last stroll through town before I go. My eyes were starting to close, as I ran into Annalise at what appeared to be a MINI EIFFEL TOWER, a sight to behold.
I had a great time here in Oxford. It feels like it was all a dream. I wonder if I'll ever really have a chance to visit again!
I had about 31 sentances. Several paragraph and 5 Pictures. Thank you very much for this opportunity. I rounded down but count as you will! Thank you again for the giveaway!
