Clearing:. Dream Town - Full pathed - Rate me please!

[Ray-ACP]

Hi, I've recently finished pathing my town and it's ready for viewing! I'd like people to visit over dreaming and rate my town based on these factors: (bear in mind I've only began adding bushes and it's no where near finish, waiting for the modern bench!)

- Natural Environment (How well natural is kept and laid out around the paths) 0-10
- Structure (The overall placement of everything, are things in the way etc) 0-10
- Beauty (How nice it looks) 0-10
- Functionality (How easy it is to get to shops, buildings) 0-10
- Likeability (Could you imagine yourself living here?) 0-10

Ratings are appreciated but reasons why you give each rating would be very helpful! Any constructive criticism much appreciated ^_^

Here is my dream code! : 7500-2311-5552

Hi! I visited your town! Here are the ratings! Natural environment-7,your paths tend to change in size every once in a while-like it will be large and then get smaller, and it is almost everywhere. Structure-10, everything was nicely placed- I really liked that the bell was next to the cafe. Beauty-9, the town is pretty over all,but there are some empty little lots in some places(I assume you are going to put flowers in them though) Functionality-9, the path is easy to follow and lots of the major buildings are in the upper right corner. Likability-8, nice town but I would change a few minor things. Love your town flag!!

-Natural Environment-10-Lots of flowers.
-Structure-8-I think there's a bit too much paths.
-Beauty-10
-Functionality-9-The shops are all up north, I like that, but 2 villager's houses are way up north, not down south like the others.
-Likeability-10-This would be a fun town to live in.

Total-47/50

Thanks for rating! Yea I'm thinking about changing the type of paths overall so it's bigger, the empty slots will have projects in them once i get new ones (which is like never ??)

Thank you = D Yea Stinky moved right on top of my flower garden lol and so did angus into an annoying place, makes me worried for my flowers if they can just move ANYWHERE. I might narrow the paths down, seems like a recurring problem.

I can do this in a moment for you. XD I'm just doing a few bits and bobs.

 

[Ray-ACP]

Awesome = ) I'm actually in the process of changing the tiling so I just won't update it so you can base your rating off the current town.

Natural Environment 6/10
The pathway you have chose has been over used in my opinion. You need to find a midway point between over powering and natural. It looks tacky in some areas such as in front of shops, where you only cut it off for two slabs. If bulk of the area wasn't path this wouldn't be so bad. I think this could do with re-thinking. The curbs on the paths also don't match. Most flower and tree areas look random and not organized. However choice of tree and flower patches are quite appealing.

Structure 6/10
Again you failed to balance. The path has been used too much. I don't think it has any structure in general. It just looks like you put the pavement down everywhere you could. Some areas such as the plaza you made sure to cover every aspect of the ground. In front of Re-Tail the same, but then you see your town hall where you covered only half of the ground and it doesn't look very organized. Bridges may be your main concern for these areas.

Beauty 6/10
The pavement itself is a nice choice. The colour matches your environment well. However, I can't get over the fact the curbs don't add up and neither does it around shops. I feel you could do with having one normal slab pattern and then one for each of the corners as well as a end curb pattern.

Functionality 7/10
The path doesn't really help me find shops. I think it would help if you placed signs more. I just used the map at the bottom because the path annoyed me in some areas.

Likability 7/10
If I moved in I'd be happy with the environment. It's more attractive than the camp site look. However, if it was my choice to move in I don't think I would. We only share common tastes of the interior of your house and nothing more.

On a whole, I acknowledge that you only had one try at doing the path's and probably didn't have enough time to fix things. However, I think your town and paths look brilliant for just laying it down. All you need to do now is tidy up as you've done the majority. I am yet to get to this point yet because I haven't cheated in my game and I got it two weeks after it came out. I'm hoping to be in your position soon.

Well done. XD My overall rating would be 7/10.

^This. I also think your town is over-pathed. I'm not sure where to travel and I look more at the lower screen map to figure out the best route than the town/path itself. I don't really mind it, but it's disorganized and wouldn't be very different from having no paths.

However, I thought your trees and flowers were usually laid out because they all follow a pattern or straight even rows. Other times your flowers seem to be placed randomly.

I agree with the over pathing, it seems alot of people agree on this. I did go overboard linking everything together. Some ground isn't covered like around the door because you can't actually cover it sadly = ( As you'll see when you start tiling, all the houses and town hall you can't tile in front of the door and retail and the station you can't tile 2 spaces in front hence why I tried to put a curb around it...was the best I could do!

I'm changing the floor tile simply because it's taking up loads of space in my inventory (5 patterns!) just to one simply middle tile and a curb, plus i'm going to add some water features. I'm changing the colour slightly darker. I'm quite surprised the paths didn't help you find the shops, they are all right next to eachother lol! I can't make any signs because that would require an extra slot. You'll quick realise when you tile you have hardly any menu space to deal with as you can't remove that pattern. For every pattern on the floor it must remain in the menu (same as cushion customizing and some furniture). The only ones i've seen which don't disappear upon removing the pattern from the menu is the museum signs. If anyone knows whether signs can have a patter without needing it permanently in your menu then please correct me!

I'm tidying up the whole town as a whole and reducing the tiling, all the free space is great! It's nice to see some greenery lol I really need those bushes v_v would help alot. Thanks for your in depth review!
