How to make lakes



You can make lakes or other bodies of water using river tiles and dirt paths. Start with a river corner. Add four dirt paths over your river tile; you'll need to place them on the grass first and then move them, as you cannot place dirt paths directly on water from the store. When you've got dirt paths over your river corner, place another river corner on top of the dirt, but slightly over. Then you can move your dirt paths over, and repeat by placing another water tile. Eventually, you'll have as many water tiles as you like and can remove the dirt paths entirely so it appears to be one large body of water.

How to make waterfalls

Making waterfalls is similar to making lakes. Place a piece of river tile down where you want the base of your waterfall; preferably a piece with a v-shape bottom and a rounded back. Then place four dirt paths over the river tile. Place another river tile on top of the original, but offset it by one row. Then move the dirt paths onto the new river tile. Place another, and offset it again. Repeat. Eventually, you'll end up with a waterfall as many tiers high as you'd like. Add other elevation elements, such as hills or terraces, to complete the illusion.
