I need help making my terrain look less forcd

I feel like whenever I make terrain, it looks ok but I feel like it doesn't look great because it seems forced. Does anybody have any tips to naturalize terrain?

I've attached a small village which I'm making to see if you can see what I see. Perhaps what I mean isn't forced, but maybe someone could help me decide what it is I don't like about my terrain.

Feel free to edit it and show me an example of how to make it look more natural, but that's not necessarily what I'm asking for although that would also be somewhat helpful.

edit: Sorry, I'm unable to take screenshots for some reason.

Your problem is that it's too perfectly spread out, and that you make it somewhat too square, terrain has to have lots of random jumps, have 2 trees in a spot instead spreading them all out perfectly, maybe have one area really cluttered with doodads, while another is more barren, but your main problem is that you don't make the terrain stick out randomly at spots, it just goes straight, with nice square turns.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of Westernhagen either, Fanta vier much better! But they didn't drop the lyrics that fit the situation. Farty: Ich bin wieder hier; nobody: in meinem Revier; Me: war nie wirklich weg
