hm?
you only get one entry for posting one time ^^;
Hello!
Heres my Dream Address Entry!
Right off the bat, I already like how you've got paths on your plaza, and they're attractive paths at that. I always do a run around the plaza at first, before I choose an off shooting path to go down. I really like the tulip/carnation flower combo! I also like the wind-y path that goes up to the bridge.
The only thing I'd say about is, I'd mix up the mushrooms a bit. (Unless you're farming for mushrooms or something and this is just an organized spot.. if that even makes sense lol) But anyways, maybe some white violets? Also, idk if you've got this as a PWP yet or if you plan to keep your current path, but I'd change your bridges to the brick ones if you can. I know sometimes PWP placing can be such a pain! So if you're nervous about attempting switching them out, I totally understand bc this is how I ended up only have one bridge in my town, because I literally have NO other place available for one.
I also love the little run jump you have! The black/white rose combo used here is nice, too! (I have a thing for flower combos, so get ready to hear this complement a lot lol).
Your path with the stone/clover is my hopeful endgame path! I love it! The way you have the Cafe sort of tucked away is so cute. I enjoyed running along the path to it :]
Also the area around the campsite is adorable! I love the Jacobs latter/cedar tree fencing.
Your retail area is so nice and so cozy! Mine in smack dab in the middle of the map! I love how yours has it's own little nook.
O.m.g. This view though?
You seem to have a lot of open space, so a lot of landscaping left to do. This made me feel like my town is so small compared to yours, because everything is all filled in. But I think since you have all this space, a play ground would be super cute! (If you like the look of the PWPs) Maybe a yellow,pink,white theme for flowers? I'm jealous of your windmill PWP, I wish I had it!
The whole area you have in front of your house so gorgeous! I loved it! I used to have a fountain in front of my house as well :] This area is so nice and so well put together. It's so natural! That bare section in front of the stump, I think a water well would look nice there! Or maybe the water pump. The exterior of your house is really pretty, too. If I didn't have a forest themed town, I'd probably go for something super similar.
The area in front of your Town Hall is also really nice! I had came across the building and I was like, "oh this is nice." And then I followed the path town and I was like, "OH! THIS is NICE!" I love it, even if it's a WIP!
I really like this wind-y path! If you add a bunch of bushes and flowers, I think it will give it the same feel that you have around the retail. Enclosed and cozy. Maybe a water well with some coins around it, or the water pump. Maybe a street lamp PWP. (the one that's wooden) along the path.
I'm also jealous that you have the water fountain PWP! And I like the flower combo around it. This was another cozy part of the town that I really liked! I have a nice shot of my mayor here, but I'm going to take it easy on the pics for just a bit before I add more ^.^
That area between the two ponds, with the 5 space in between. I LOVE IT. And I don't know why! Who likes a whole bunch of ponds in their town? No one, usually! But I really liked this! If the game will let you, I think the illuminated arches or the flower arch OR the wisteria trellis will look nice here! Maybe some cedars and bushes, along with the clover/stone path here. I really, really liked this little spot and I kind of wish I had something similar in my town. It's really unique and even in hacked towns I've never seen something similar.
I have a bunch of shots of my mayor and of ones with her hidden behind trees where its just a few cedars, bushes, flowers, and a pond. I really like the look of this. The spacing is really nice, even though it may be unintentional. I have my town jam-packed and I've been trying to reduce the flowers to get a similar look. It's open and natural. It's not too cramped or messy.
I feel like the tower and modern lamps don't really fit in with the rest of the town, though. I personally would replace the tower with maybe another fountain pwp, or maybe a wisteria trellis just for looks, not use as a path. But that's just me :]
Something dumb I did (Please dont judge, it's 3-4am as I do this lol)
The beach up stairs is super cute! I've seen backyards and things, but I really like this!
I grilled some hot dogs, played some vollyball with the guys, worked on my tan, and built a sand castle! I don't usually like these kinds of rooms, and I go for more realistic ones- ones you'd see an actual house, but I thought this was really cute and I enjoyed it! Everything is placed so nicely and I like how you didn't dress the mannequins up the same, you gave them their own little outfits, which came with their own personalities :] I named them Tom and Jeremy :] Jeremy is the cool dude in the back. I took A LOT of pictures in this room!
This aesthetic tho. Come landscape my town? I ran through your Jacobs latters, are you mad? ahah!
I really like Wolfgangs little area. I think a bush/tree stump fence in front of it going along the path would look cute. That way you could still the landscaping behind it, but also so it wouldn't be bare in front of it :]
I noticed how the flower combos matches or went with the house they were around, I really like that! I love the idea of giving each villager their own little yard, I unfortunately don't have enough space in between or around houses to do this in my town, but you do! So I'd use this idea!
The little picnic nook is also really cute! I'd do a yellow/pink rose combo, or a white violet with yellow or pink counterpart flower.
My mayor was happy to see this little spot, she thought, yay! free food!
I wish you and your town well! I really enjoyed it! Bye!
Things I'd add:
-coins around ponds/waterwells/waterpumps
-gyroids, unidentified fossils, ores, shoes, books, pouches, fruit, fruit baskets scattered around
Things I'd take away/replace:
-the tower
Sorry if this is too long or too much! I read somewhere that the reason you feel super creative and like you can do anything at night is because the self-doubt part of your brain shuts off, and I'm guessing mine has done that! (It's now 5am here). I went all out lol and idek what the prize is! It doesn't matter! I had fun!I hope you like this lol. Sorry I'm so ridiculous lol ^.^
AHHHH Thank you sooooo much!! This was the best review I have gotten so far and I really like the suggestions!

Hello? Yes, this is Kess;
I FORGOT TO SAY! :
I also think your town would look best at an early morning time. I know you prob updated it just for this thing, but for the end result I think early morning would look really good here. Maybe even one of those purple sunrises if you manage to catch one :]

I just visited your dream town and I am going to write some of this while continuing to run around it! I'm writing a lot and including pictures so I'm going to put it in a spoiler. ^u^;;
I just want to start by saying that I think I would have really preferred to see your town in the light rather than at night (hehe I rhymed).
There are a couple parts that I really liked specifically.
I really liked the pattern with the stones and the clovers. It wasn't just a straight path and clovers are a nice way to make a path like that instead of purely using only them or only the design in your pockets. Although there was one part where you used mushrooms as part of your path instead and I didn't feel like that looked as good. In your town, there were a lot of blank areas that could be filled with public works projects or flowers. There was also one part (immediately left to the town square, if I remember correctly, and one section above your town hall) that was all white carnations and white roses and other white flowers, and I feel like two different flowers of the same colour all in one spot maybe didn't look the best in my opinion. If it were me, I would put red/pink carnations alongside the white carnations. I liked what you did with your bushes though, it looked nice! I have to say though, my favourite flower combinations were the black and white flowers all together, and the pink and purple ones. Also, while I was wandering around I noticed some dandelions and weeds, but I don't know if that was intentional for your look of your town.
This part was really cute! I love the arrangement of flowers, bushes, paths, and your streetlight and bench. Also, all around your town the bamboo looks nice the way it's set up around your retail and Zucker's house amongst the flowers. I can say that from being through your town I think I'm going to start using bushes to design my town (thanks haha). There's one part where you go past a patch of purple and pink flowers (A+ by the way) and there are a couple trees and lights lining the path which makes it look really nice. It also feels appropriate to have those lights line the path down to the lighted tower (I don't know the proper names for these public works projects, I'm sorry ;;>.>). I walked along your beaches and saw that you have a bunch of flowers down there, I'm assuming to breed them so I think that a lot of my criticisms of your flowers and everything will probably not even apply after you've bred more flowers. But that's my biggest criticism, along with the empty spaces. Your town design kind of goes from really busy to really empty, so maybe spreading out your stuff would be better? I'm not sure. In my town where I had empty spaces, I put trees all in it until I had a design idea. I think it might make the feel of your town a little better until (if you decide you want to, of course) you put some projects in there! ^.^;;
The windmill's placement and surrounded by pink and white tulips and trees and bushes looked so pretty. It's probably one of my favourite parts of your town! Your picnic thingy (again, I don't know the proper name for this, sorry) is also in a really good location!
I'm wandering around your town as I write the rest of this by the way, and I just noticed the shells on the path down to the beach. I can honestly say that I've never seen that before and it's such a good idea!
So, overall:
good points:
- you're really good at designing. You managed to fill most of the spaces in your town and your clover/stone paths are the cutest. Where you placed your PWPs is good too!
- most of your flower placements look nice! It was mainly just the area with all white flowers that I would change so it mixes it up a bit.
- the way you used trees and bushes to line your paths also makes it look nicer. Especially with the bushes where there aren't as many restrictions as there are with trees, it's easier to use in your town for designing.
- THE SHELLS ON THE PATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so cute!! ^.^;;
- the designs you have for your paths are pleasing to the eyes tbh
criticisms:
- the bunches of flowers with all the same colours as I've said like 4932432 times because I'm good at repeating myself
- this is probably more of a personal preference but I don't like how the mushrooms look when using them as a path
- I found dandelions and weeds but it didn't really affect the beauty of your town that much
- I keep getting bitten by mosquitoes. I feel it is your job as mayor to ban mosquitoes! ( just kidding ^.^;; )
