In the post offices that I’ve been to there’s usually a barrier between the clerk and customer that goes from wall to wall. Perhaps you can buy some more of the den desk and line them up in a row; or, in a U shape. Here’s my example.

An alternative would be to place simple panels next to your den desk or jail bars.

The post office will also need an area for people to write slips on. I’ve seen them placed in the middle of the room to help form a queue neatly or up against the wall. Perhaps a wooden trash can as well.

The plain cardboard box item has a variation with labels on it already. Here are some qr codes as well if you want to mix things up.

I have work soon, so if you have any questions it’ll most likely have to wait until tomorrow, sadly :(

oohh! that's a good idea... this i mean - ''The post office will also need an area for people to write slips on. I’ve seen them placed in the middle of the room to help form a queue neatly or up against the wall. Perhaps a wooden trash can as well.''

I'm not sure I dig the colorful wall... I take it those are supposed to be mail drawers? They seem a bit... Childish for a post office, if that makes sense?

I'd agree with all of @Bluelady 's suggestions, definitely use those existing cardboard boxes in the game with the shipping label if you can. And maybe... Pack more stuff in? You have a small space and yet it's a bit on the empty side. Just like a real post office, decorate with things like potted plants and more desks/counters, maybe some writing utensils. Like mom's pen holder, the homework set, etc. And maybe some trash bins to the side. Maybe stick an outdoor table next to a wall as like a "wrapping/packaging station."

Also, if possible, I 100% suggest you make one of your villager's mailboxes the blue one that looks like it belongs at a post office and stick it out in front.

you’re welcome :)

If you do a present wrapping area, don’t forget about the pile of presents diy. It’ll certainly fill in a lot of space and can be customized into non-Christmas colors as well.

there are wild bunnies trying to get into the some of the pumpkin crates... i guess the scarecrow didn't stop them & no-one seems to be trying to stop them... so i assume it's fine to let them have a little bit of the pumpkins....

I know that you didn't ask for advice on your laundromat, but I like how it looks. The only item that I think is stopping it from looking complete (imo) are some long tables. Any minimalistic type will do.

I tried creating a folding area with dividers using the lecture table and simple panels.

Other decorations to possibly consider are the public benches, vending machines, snack machines, the candy machine, and the arcade games. If you still have that qr code for the toy capsule dispenser, you could place some as well.

yeah, i have a couple of fairly new gachapon codes :> that's japan for the toy capsule dispenser :>
 
i finished my ketchup pop-singer area... but it definatly needs a name for the group... with whoever wants to be a member...

anybody in the 'my villagers'' part of my sig :> i mean, i saw marina playing around with the alto saxaphone, i think, it was either yesterday or today & just now, i saw lobo playing around with the ocarina i put out :>



i wonder who could play the drums, the marimba, the rock gitar & the pan flute... hmmm.... :>

& who could replace whoever plays them, when they move out for sherb, fuschia, maple & blaire to move in?

Hi! I completed my island and created my dream address on New Years, but I haven’t played the game since January. I’ve recently updated my DA again to reflect the small changes I made, and wanted to see if anyone wanted to visit and give feedback! My island’s dream is a “village in the forest” type of theme, so lots of trees, and I guess the aesthetic leans towards normcore. The season is spring!
