Does anyone have a pictures showing off the differences with the town hall. Ive heard you get a random look for the town hall once you start your game. Ive seen the picture of the different coloured train stations you can start with (red, blue, green, yellow). Are there any other random things to pay attention too when picking your layout? (like fruit and grass pattern)
The more obvious ones first;
River route
Tree/Re-tail/Town hall placements
House placement
Pre-planning campsite/cafe/lost and found
Fruit - mostly to pick which perfect fruit you can grow
Grass pattern
Left/right side ocean
Town hall colour + interior
Train station colour + interior (can be different to town hall)
Number of ponds
Bridge placement (if you wish to keep the first one as a free public work)
Whether you have both ramps on one part of your beach and a private beach or both are accessible.
Size of private beach bit (if applicable)
How (windy/windey?/WIGGLY) the river is (straighter river makes for marginally easier fishing)
Waterfalls
Some people are fussy with the ramps to the beach
Rock placement
Villager placement could be a concern too if you know someone you won't want to leave has already decided to live where you would want something.
And a subtle one that probably won't matter too much compared to past games, - how out of the way you have to go to see each corner of town on daily rounds. But now villagers move however they please and you can place your house and facilities down it's easy to make sure there isn't much wasted space in town. - I can't stand having little niggly bits you never visit that end up collecting weeds.
I cannot think of anything else to be nitpicky with, I am the fussiest person with my towns though, I'm sure most of you read half of this like ROCKS?!
