My checklist was -
Triangle grass this time around. The stars started to bug me. I hated not being able to see the actual shape most of the time. Tick!
Red Train Station - My favourite colour. I actually got it.
Tick!
Decent starting villagers - Monique, Cousteau, Roscoe, Dora and Penelope. Monique and Cousteau are my favourites, I like Roscoe, not a fan of Penelope and Dora. But still, a Tick!
A river that goes through the town - I don't know, but it seems more realistic to me. Tick!
Any coloured Town Hall - Tick! Got one with the brown exterior.
Oranges or Apples - Tick! Got oranges. I do like apples, but I prefer oranges!
Re-Tail near my house - Tick! My house is just above the town tree, with Re-Tail not far away.
Not too many ponds, preferably 2 - Tick! I got 3 ponds, which I don't mind. They take up an awful lot of space, though.
That's it. Luckily, I got everything I wanted, with some dreamies moving in shortly behind. Tia, Bruce, Mira!
But good luck to you all with this lovely challenge and luck in finding the perfect town for yourself!
Happy new year!
