Is your town a mess?

Mine is about 75% done and 25% messy. Still have some land to to buy. Then I can get with it and get my SF up to par. But with my work hours it is kind of hard to do.

main town: nice but a little spotty looking as i moved several houses and buildings next to xmxs area. did a bunch of redesigning in the last few months
town #2: is sort of a mess with all the KEMs covering much of the southern edge and not been spending much time there recently
crawl town: is a huge mess, buildings all over the place without a design in mind. more concerned with getting XP raised and leveling up, got to level 730 and 223%

The vast majority of my town is not messy at all. However, the top strip of land in SH is messy while I build up all the buildings to level 5 and I'm not sure how I'm going to design my monorail there so I want to leave possibilities for that.

My messy stuff is certain items from the spy event, everything from the pagan event, the homerpalooza event, time travelling toaster event and the latest THOH event. I just don't know what to do with them. I have ideas of how I want them to look but I can't decide where in my town it should be.

Nope...set up like a real town

The part towards the water is great, on the opposite side, not so much. Part of the problem is my iPad is dying - santa will *crosses fingers* bring me a new one this Christmas, but in the mean time, it's super laggy. Playing on my phone is better, but since the screen is small, it's hard to decorate. Trying to decorate after the snow hits will be tricky so my plan is to get the rest of the town organized and fine tune after the snow melts.

Not that I'm thinking about it, I might work on my amusement park today before the update. And OMG I want more land in SH! I don't care what buildings we get or if I have to grind obsessively. I would love to move my amusement park over there, but not until we get more land. Urg.

My springfield heights and squidport are build almost as i like them, but main springfield is not even half finished, ive got some parts finished like an amusement park and some distrivts, but the rest is a giant mess

I decided to nuke the town the day before the first monorail event and I've been slowly rebuilding since for the past three years.

New stuff comes out now at a much faster rate so I just cram it all into the fringes. I don't want to store it else I'll forget about it when I have a few minutes to work on designing. I've created a lot of themed districts: suburb, municipal, restaurant, Vegas, Rigelian, chocolate, superhero, industrial, western, Christmas, Halloween, airport, spy, and EFCOT with future world (sci-fi) and world showcase (destination & time toaster). Every time new material comes out, I often need to start dragging stuff around.

My two main issues are:

1) Not enough land. I like to create environments where you can see the details of each object, so I try not to overlap buildings. I try to keep tall objects in the fringes, but some take up as much as triple their actual footprints, so I wont place anything behind them.

2) Max number of items. I like to landscape. I recently hit the max and had to strip out all sidewalks, and a lot of trees. The details are what makes this game fun for me. I don't want to just collect things.
