Omg that layout is so cute!!!! I love making pine forests too!!! I'm definitely sticking my house in some, and hopefully also on a cliff level too! That's all I know for now lol but it's a start.

None of my towns in the past have ever been very detailed or well planned out. I think visiting all those dream towns that look amazing has definitely inspired me to try harder for New Horizons. I'm kinda tired of the wilderness vibe so I'm going to try going for a more "tight knit town" kind of feel this time around.
I was thinking I might try to separate the town into different districts. Depending on how many villagers we can have I might have multiple housing districts in different parts of town. I was thinking a more posh housing district (for the snooty/smug villagers) and a regular one could be interesting. (I might make three house districts if we get more than 10 villagers)
Some kind of main shopping street with the town hall would look good as well.
Also in the direct they had a popcorn machine outside, it made me think it would be cool to have a sort of carnival/circus type district as well.
Also! I was thinking I might create a second player just to put together some kind of abandoned haunted house for the town.
--------------
I think being able to move buildings and objects after they've been placed down is such a huge thing. I don't usually take any risks in New Leaf because it seems like it would be a hassle to move anything after you've built it. (if it's even possible...)

I have a general idea of how I want my island to be, with "neighbourhoods" and a "shopping district" but I don't have a solid plan in mind like others do with their awesome maps. I like to somewhat wing it and see what happens, haha.
One thing I have noticed on a lot of these dream maps is a lot of rivers and bridges. I would rather be realistic with my expectations and follow New Leaf as an example for now until we have confirmation on limits. If we can have 8 bridges, great! If we can only have 3 bridges and a couple of ramps, then I won't be disappointed because it's what I'm expecting and sort of planning around.
And because it seems like it's going to be a good while before we get the terraforming tools, I still feel like my initial map choice is going to be very important. Especially because I think the two inlets are going to be permanent and we aren't going to be able to make any more so I am going to be picky on their placements. I also feel the airport, resident services and extra dock are going to be permanent so their placement matters to my loose plans as well!
Also, where are people seeing that shops and animal homes will be able to be relocated? I have only seen evidence showing player homes can be moved through Tom Nook in the town hall. Otherwise I just see a player choosing where a shop will be built with no evidence that it is being relocated. So with that in mind, having an initial layout that works well for neighbourhoods and shopping is important. I honestly see terraforming as more of a "finishing touches" kind of thing rather than a full blown island rehaul tool with what we know right now.
TL;DR - I'm going to still be resetting for a good map that can fit my plans, haha. Plus I want apples and a blue or yellow airport. D:

In the direct once resident services becomes a town hall you can see the player choosing a plot for a shop and the text bubble says ?move shop here??. There?s not been concrete evidence about moving villagers homes but I think something about how the voiceover went have me the impression that it would be possible to move them once they set up a home.

I don?t really have a set plan, but I know I want all my villager houses together. It doesn?t seem like map editing is going to be something available early in the game, so I?m probably just going to pick the map I like best and start forming ideas around what?s already there.

these are so impressive! I haven?t even thought about my layout tbh, the fact that there?s so much options is overwhelming :?)

I actually don't like planning things out all at once. Depending on what map shape I choose, I'm just going to plan it out as I go along and see what it is I like and what works better. I might leave a few things original and change some others, but who knows? I really don't know what to do just yet. xD
Also, those planned out maps are amazing!

Yes, it is possible to place buildings and furniture on the beach.
Here's my map that I have designed so far! I may do an update as I think of new ideas/have backup ideas in case some stuff isn't doable!
That boardwalk idea is really cute!
Thanks! I wanna have food carts/games/benches and stuff along it and put some rides in the space beside the castle player house. I remember new leaf having that teacup ride and some other cool stuff that could be useful for it, so I'm excited to see what I can do!

Mine is kinda sloppy because I did it on my phone but this is kinda what I want the layout to be.
The yellow square is residential services. The red is the 3 shops that we know of. Not sure if we?re getting more. The blue dots are the villager homes. I?m assuming we are only getting 10. The purple squares are my players homes. The green dot is the campground. Honestly we have way more space than I thought even though my dots probably aren?t to scale.

These look fantastic. While I have several themes in mind for my island, I can never seem to plan ahead. I just don't have the patience or the creative drive. The inspiration comes when I'm actually playing the game and I kind of just think: "Ok, let's put this here...that'll look good"...and then go from there. Once I play the game, I'll probably take a picture on my tablet of the island map itself and just roughly draw out ideas that way. I know I want some kind of an ominous forest area where I'll place most if not all of the islanders houses. My house will most likely be on the top of a cliff.
EDIT: Got inspired. In the process of designing what I'd like. At least the rough ideas anyway.
