    similar to my original post, start by building on a central point rather than trying to plan everything at once. for example, i build this island around the fountain. most are getting overwhelmed because they're trying to plan everything at once!

  3. #3

    build around your shops! a great example is putting outdoor seating for a restaurant.

  4. #4

    almost all shops have back entrances and decor around it, utilize that and decorate the sides/back of your shops too. the back of the grocery store has crates and boxes, the news station has a back door with a security camera, the home renovation store has a large back window.

  5. #5

    use mixed grass materials (plain grass, mossy grass, cherry blossom grass) to create visual clutter

  6. #6

    reference what you’ve seen in your favorite tourist destinations or near by you in real life! small portable shops like the marketplace look really good when placed by a pier, for example. author’s note: i’m from san francisco, is it obvious? lol

  7. #7

    use different colors for fencing and floors! for example, mix cobblestone with dirt or brick, or mix difference fences together with different colors!

  8. #8

    don’t be afraid to make mini islands / break things off however you please! it only needs to make sense to you, lol. pool idea from the second pic is from @bangdrim

    mixing cobblestone and grass is a good way to keep the natural feel on paths with borders
