A little help?

take your time, its the best tip theres is^^ i always start with the town hall, and work my way from there to the other parts of my town (had like 4 redesigns by now). what helped me was clustering buildings that i want in the same part of the town, like all the houses in one corner, some shops in another. after that, i just made some streets and placed buildings and started to decorate them, working from the middle of my town in random directions. also, look at your neighbors towns and the showcase section of this forum, the inspiration from that isnt replaceble in my opinion. hope that helps you ;)
  • I prefer to cluster buildings - especially houses. That speeds up Tax collection once all the houses in a group "pop" at the same time. I also lay out my streets as soon as I buy new property. That keeps me from having a sloppy layout. Having a nice, regular type street grid also helps me collect taxes. I don't have to wander around that way. I just follow the streets from one side to the other and collect along the way. Believe me, once your town gets to be 50 or 60 blocks large, you can waste a ton of tap time looking for stuff if your town isn't organized. And remember to leave room for your monorail, if you have one. I get more of a kick out of building and rebuilding the monorail than anything else. Have fun!
