ACWW perfect town

[lurkerintheshadows]

I have a question about getting the perfect town rating. If I have patterns on the ground do they count as items on the ground? Will I have to pick them up to get a perfect town rating? Please help me.
edit
apparantly i did need to pick them up to get the rating.

Nicely done. GameFAQs' boards are down the hall to the left, second door on the right.
