It has been AGES since I posted here, so an update:
I finished terraforming, and wouldn't you know, I've hit a creative wall. It's cute but just... nit quite what I had in mind, and I'm not sure how to fix it.
The other thing has been finding time between work, caring for my child, household duties, and starting my own business, I simply haven't had the time to play. It's been months now- and I know Flo is not gonna let me hear the end of it. Or Tank. Or Zucker. Or Shino. Or Gladys. Or the rest.
So, my posts here will definitely be more sporadic- as I find time, energy, and inspiration again.
I may update the DA soon- or not. It's a fall theme now, and hasn't been updated to where my.island is currently.
I was actually surprised bleeding hearts won this one, but then again they would be a completely different look from any other flower im the game, so I can see why.
Final results on the fruit poll. Little disappointed that no one chose huckleberries, but maybe a lot of people haven't had them? Grapefruit got what it deserves though.
I know I usually post a few room builds or fanart or other stuff and that this week I've been pretty silent.
I gave in to the urge to reorganize, and am neck deep in that process currently. Lots of terraforming- the bulk of which is done, just waiting on a few villager homes to move to their new spots to finish that bit up. The good news is I'll have space to give my villagers actual yards- not something most of them had before, and if they did I just filled it with flowers and called it good.
I'm not gonna spoil any surprises, but here's a list of things that have been removed to improve space use:
Ice cream parlor- might still find room next to Flo's place. If not there, then it's out completely
Shino's Sushi house may find a spot by Shinos new place, not sure though
Wendy's Restaurant- it really just used up a lot of space
St. Pagean Theatre is out
CJ's Fish Shop is out
Multiple playgrounds are being merged into a single park
Theme Park is out
Arcade is out
Concert Venue is questionable. Currently tly out, but there may be space without feeling crowded when all is said and done
Castle facade on the Museum is out
Warehouse Distrtict is out
Things that are staying:
Town center greatly improved
Cafe
Zucker's food truck
Gladys' Tarot spot
Celeste's Viewpoint
Romani Camp
I can't wait to show it all off when it's finally done!
These all look super cute across my island. My villagers are in LOVE with the Heart Dress (and while I've never caught Tank in a dress, I have seen him rock the Hoodie version)
This one was a fun build because it's kinda hard to do a pastel build without leaning into pink a lot, and I really wanted to try to balance out the colors as much as possible.
