Town design problems

So idk why, but ever since I nuked my town and start working on some things I just like don't like anything. I keep wanting to start over and keep getting the same result of not liking the way it looks. Also I always mess things up.
Like I like to have a forrest and a big town part but now I have maybe 4 tiles of land left in width to make a Forrest and like the rest went to the town.


Idk what to do with my town anymore.

I completely understand. Nuking can be overwhelming and liberating at the same time. I nuked semi recently and have been taking my time on the rebuild. For the most part, I am displeased with many areas that I've rebuilt, but I have tried to remind myself that it's not a race to rebuild and I expect much to change before it'll be to where I like it.

In my case, I placed the buildings I like and then separated them into groups (regular houses, poor houses, mansions, etc.) and grouped them throughout the town and roughly where I plan for them to stay.
I always run pavement first to mark where my roads will go and then I begin moving things around so I can place actual roads. This, to me, is like rough sketching (if pavement will run under the building or item).

When I rebuilt my wife's town several months ago, I built a massive 3D hedge wall throughout a large portion of her town. While this may look cool, it eats a ton of space (maybe 20 to 30 plots of land) and items. I am avoiding too much 3D in my town, as I am trying to avoid the item limit.

Just remember, take your time and you have many people here who can possibly help make this easier.
