Lucky! :)

I review my town several times a day, every day... taking things down & putting them in storage :/ However, I don't seem to make very much progress.

i did this dance for a long time, so i feel your pain... removing all objects hidden behind other objects, getting rid of as many of the street bridge pieces as possible, replacing multiple 1x1 shrubs with 2x1 or 3x1 bushes, subbing 2x1 fencing with 4x1 fencing, eliminating fencing altogether.... seems like you're at the point where i was, right before the destination springfield event started.... fed up.

with the update for the event, ea gave us an additional bump of 200 items to the max count, but after looking through the wiki and seeing the massive amount of new content/craftables we'd be getting, i knew i had to do something drastic or i'd never be able to adequately design new areas for it all.... so i made the tough decision to blow up one of the oldest areas of my town, including my only 2D artwork piece, to give me room to work with regarding the item count and to place some of the new material. and i must say, i couldn't be happier with what i designed in its place... so in the end, it really did work out for the best.

i've spent more time than i care to admit designing my town, and i understand the reluctance, even refusal, to tear down one of your existing designs and start anew. but when faced with the ultimate choice of either keeping things the way they are and not being able to freely play, or making the necessary changes to allow yourself to continue playing and designing... at least for me, the choice was an easy one.
