I've recently got back to playing my game regularly after spending very little time on my town, only the quick check in to stop my villagers from moving away. Since returning to my town, I've realized that it's a bit of a mess. All the current landscaping and public works projects are from about 3 years back and now I have a town that's over run with flowers and doesn't look nice.

What type of approach do you take to landscaping? Also what's your favourite area of your town?

I have a very specific order and approach to landscaping

1) flatten the town. get rid of anything that you can get rid of. trees, bushes, public works, if you don't love it, get rid of it. except maybe flowers, put those somewhere out of the way so you don't have to grow them again later

2) make sure you have all the villagers you want in places that you like/don't hate

3) lay down your paths, connecting all the buildings. you don't have to have the patterns picked out yet, but knowing where the paths will be helps with everything else. the paths kind of make a framework for you to build around

4) start doing all the creative stuff like gardening and placing public works, making plans based on what space you have left

I don't really have any specific areas that I love more than any other area in my towns because I like the whole thing of my three towns though, I'd have to say overall I'm most happy with Wayfield. I think it has the most photogenic areas.

I'm working on removing the public works projects, I think I'll try removing everything and starting again. Your steps sound like they'll help me out It also doesn't help that I placed my police station and cafe in horrid spots 5 years ago haha
