I am not sure why you would want to copy everything from somebody else. I may not be the best designer but I like that my town is my own. There are things that I wish looked better but it will always be a work in progress. I would love to be able to do 3D like some people can, but my brain doesn't work that way. I would rather look at others designs in their towns or in the showcase thread than add them to my town.
I agree with @meinaz.

Copying designs is a mechanical process, void of your own personal creative style. To me, the real fun in TSTO is developing your own town.. your own design. Inspired by others? Great! But use the inspiration to frame and organize your own Springfield :)
Just remember to sing along with Figment as you play! :)
One little spark, of inspiration

Right at the start, of everything that's new.
One little spark, lights up for you.
