After weeks of resetting I finally got the map of my dreams - well almost! I'm so excited for my new town and everything that's about to come my way!
I've been resetting for this particular layout for weeks now. I really like the small little island, yet there's still enough free space. So glad I just finished resetting, just in time for the Halloween spirit!
Town name: For?stia
Native fruit: Apples, SHINY perfect apples in my town! YAY!
Grass: Circles, another YAY!
Train Station: Red
Town Hall: Grey
Things I love:
1. Only one pond in the most ideal location (I really hate ponds because of the way they break up your landscape)
2. Beach on the right side, with a private little beach at 'my' island.
3. Lots of open spaces / no small areas.
4. The river; it's very short, doesn't have a lot of curves and the placing of the big pond is just the cherry on top of the cake.
5. The placing of the hall, plaza & Re-Tail. I couldn't have asked for more. Ideal for the way I like paths, everything is so horizontally aligned! The trips from the dock to Re-Tail are going to be exhausting though.
6. Waterfall in the south.
7. The placement of my house. I'm going to delete that bridge and place a new one horizontally in the south and one vertically on the left side of the big pond in the river. This way it'll be my little island within the island.
What I don't like:
1. The villagers are just plain horrible. No dreamie, also not even one villager I like or have neutral feelings about. I have Canberra, Camofrog, Beardo, Hugh & Jambette. The worst thing is that Canberra always seems to be in my town whenever I start a new game lol. I'll gladly help all five of them pack as soon as possible.
2. Some rocks are really in the way of the paths I'm planning.
The theme:
I'm planning on building an traditional old-Dutch style town. There are a few very Dutch PWP's & items in this game, like the tulips, the Windmill PWP, tulip topiary, various furniture items. I'm gonna use the river as a 'canal', make tulip fields because that's what the Netherlands is famous for and overall I want a real rural, yet fairtytale feeling in this town. I can totally see it working at this moment.
I'm planning on also giving it an educational/storytelling twist with the other player's houses. Did you know that the 'XXX' in the official Amsterdam logo stands for the three plagues/disasters that have tortured Amsterdam? I want to combine that with certain other elements to build a of horror themed house, completely in Dutch style. Another player's house I'd like to fill with a museum floor (5 of the thirty-something artworks from Redd in are actually from Dutch artists), a bicycle shop (could it be any more Dutch?) and some things like a bakery, candy shop, etc. Really excited to see how this turns out, I've been thinking about this for quite some time now and finally I got my ideal town
