I read a guide on here on how to do this.. but I can’t find it so here’s how I do it, kinda following that guide.

Here’s what I’m starting with. Take your screenshot, and enlarge it to 1200px, make sure you have “bicubic (smooth gradients)” selected when resizing. This will help when you put your image back to it’s regular size.

Next, filter > noise > reduce noise. These are the settings I used for this particular picture, but it depends on the picture. Press ok, then go to image > image size again and shrink it down to whatever size you’d like. I usually do 540px.

Now, if this is too fuzzy for your liking, you can either sharpen it using filter > sharpen > sharpen, or the method I recommend:

create a new layer and press crtl+shift+alt+e.

fliter > other > high pass > radius: .5 pixels (this will look weird. don’t worry!) press ok

set that layer to overlay, and change the opacity to your liking. if that’s not sharp enough for you, just change the radius of the high pass. don’t go too crazy with that though, it can look pretty bad if you overdo it.

As for coloring and editing, I mostly use curves. You can find some nice curve presets you can use here and here. Remember you can play with opacity and blending modes with these.

And you’re finished! Remember to have fun and be creative with it.

A fun idea I came up with! A lot of people set their mayor’s TPC comment as their tumblr url. I want my mayor to be able to say something cute instead but I still want people to know where to find me, so tah-dah! My solution!

Here’s a template for a tumblr logo pattern. Use your url as the name for the pattern, put it up on a custom-design sign, and when a dreamer or visitor checks the sign that’s what they’ll see. The colors used on this pattern are sky 6, sky 7, grey 1 and grey 4, but of course customizing it to suit your town is way more fun! c:

I hope this catches on, it would be a great way to connect with each other<3

A few shots of my new town Seaglass Cove! I think I’m gonna put a fountain in the middle of the residental area<3

(Unfortunately the trees and shrubs planted right next to the houses disappear after I save and quit;; At least it looks pretty in these screencaps.)

hacked town ideas

I have a lot of these;; If you’re hacking your town or starting a fresh town to hack, maybe these ideas will come in useful!

A desert town. No grass, no plaza stone and no river (or else a very small one if you want to catch river fish yourself), just a handful of scattered ponds to act as oases! Palm trees, flowers and buildings are clustered around the oases. Out in the barren desert are a few pyramids, a sphinx, maybe some scarce weeds. Might be cool to have a hot spring or a water pump out in the middle of nowhere.

A jungle town. LOTS of grass and palms and tropical fruit and hibiscuses and lilies ahHHH!! Like four waterfalls. Huge beaches. COLOR and PLANTS are just everywhere. Geysers and stone tablets and moai statues?? Villagers that used to be islanders YES and baskets of fruit as decoration and cute stepping stone paths!

A post-apocolyptic town. Very little water, not much grass, modern everything. Dead trees and lots of weeds. Could use a lot of different PWPs for this... streetlight? Bus stop, pile of pipes, fire pit? Paths that look like cracked highways! Cluster most of the buildings in the center somewhere and have a few villagers living alone in the wastelands.

An icy forest town. Always winter and cedar trees EVERYWHERE! Lots of waterfalls and ponds. Small tiny beaches, most only accessible by swimming. Sooo many penguin villagers. Illuminated trees would be really pretty dotted throughout a thick forest. White and blue flowers, water fountains, zen renovations cause they look a little cabin-y if you squint.

A farm town?? There’s a way to manually set grass deterioration, I’m not sure how that works but it would be so cool to set up little fields of dirt and decorate with flower seed bags and fruit baskets! Persimmons could be pumpkins and for other growing things make use of patterns. Scarecrow and rice rack PWPs would be super cute, and a water well! Lots of tree orchards. Could use bamboo to make a ‘corn’ maze. A resident’s house could be decked out as a farmer’s market!

An enchanted forest. The town tree is in the middle of a big forest and not on any plaza stone. To get to it you follow a little path behind town hall. Town hall, Retail and whatever other important buildings are all clustered together, and the villagers are dotted throughout the forest. Lots of illuminated PWPs. Always summertime so fireflies float around the ponds and rivers! Fairytale renovations and PWPs.
