Some buildings I've done in the past two days... 711 building was with a YouTube tutorial
Is there a way for me to get a bridge across without building more land?.... ive alrdy double the width of the walkway and it STILL wont fit
Try putting it more closer to the waterfall
Same msg, too close to the cliff
I could put it right up to the wall and its too close to the cliff
Or do the waterfall another tile or two backwards to see if it works
Nvm i figured it out. Its the outer cliff thats too close
Apparently bridges need 2 free spaces on either side of the river too the thick bastards
does anyone have a tropical resort theme ? I need inspo for villagers' yards (mainly the size)
is anyone here good with citycore themes? im doing a citycore island and am about halfway done but i dont know what to do with the rest of my island so some advice would be great!
My island entrance. 
My entrance
I made a ruined temple thing with gyroids!
Wide angle photos of my house, Kabuki’s yard, Pashmina’s yard and Nook’s Cranny.
Decided to use this little area i had made to display my gyroids 
I’m doing a cottagecore island but I’ve been having some trouble. Should I place down all my furniture and then all my trees? Or trees then furniture? It feels wrong just throwing trees everywhere.
I personally like to place trees first but if you feel it’s wrong then do furniture first
Some completed shots of my island and my house.
Anyone have any kidcore island inspo?
none of these are my own, but i have some more saved to my ac pinterest i can dm you if you’d like!
Sure! Tysm!
Found this honey stall idea on Pinterest and tried it out
decided to redo my island entrance and here’s how it looks right now 😊
Cool
Thoughts on my water sculpting?
Need some help. Which one looks better ?
:0 what do you use to design this? Like what app/website?
Love this!!
Storefront and loft bed became my favorite item easily
We agree totally!! I’ve used both in most of my island builds .I like the 2.0 items but those of us that played before we had them learned to be creative with less haha
The simple panel meta
😂
Found it on pinterest
mkk ty
I have a heart shaped pond in the centre of my island, but I’m not sure how to decorate it. Any ideas anyone?
For my island, I made a butterfly pond and made it into a garden. You could do the same for your heart pond if you want. Just place trees, bushes, flowers, and some items that fit the vibe you’re going for around it.
that sounds rlly cute, ty !
Someone have ideas to use the retro transportation stop?
can someone send me some map design inspo? i’m finally going to retheme my island and am stuck on how i should do the layout.. if it helps i could send where my stuff like airport and resservices are but any general map inspo would be appreciated
does anyone know what i can turn this area into?
The pool
I just started playing too and rn i can't change the landscape of my island so placing my houses is kind of a challenge :( any tips?
are you playing in a pharmacy?? 😭
also i suggest a road going to each house
like 2 road.. rows…
Made small booth can’t tell if they look bad tho
they look super cute!
omg!! how did you design this?
Not mine! Just a pinterest Idea
It’s finally finished!!!
That actually looks so good‼️
i wish i could build so good
The cauldron one is so cute
A little transition area I did leading up to ables
Does anyone know any flowers layout designs?, I've been trying to make all the flowers separated by colour so they duplicate but I can't get them to look nice around the centre piece (Pergola/Gazebo/fountain)
(I don't have Nintendo online, so I can't use other people's path designs)
This is what I did a couple of weeks ago. I’m not looking to duplicate them though
That looks awesome :DD
It's sort of what I imagined in my head
There are all sorts of ideas if you try googling things. I have many flowers spaced out across the island to encourage breeding but I wouldn’t probably have a breed/spawn pattern around something I wanted to design with a middle piece
I'll try that, the duplicating thing was just an idea so I could have a functional space that looked nice lol
Thankyou for your help 
Here's some progress:DD
I'm planning to add the Shrubs aswell so I have like all the coloured flowers:>
Help. What should I do with this river and these awkward cliffs? Haven’t terraformed much
Some pics of my new entrance 🙂
THAT'S SO CUTE OMG
I love the castle it's so cool
Tysm!!!
I finally managed to get my island to 5 stars and i couldn’t be happier
Can someone help me with my island layout? Idk where to put the houses, and buildings
Do you want to have a designated neighborhood for your villagers or do you want to have them spread around the island?
well I am planning on having the houses side by side
I have enough bells to move all of them
I think i would personally probably put them on either of the cliffs in the corners on your map :) or even maybe split the villagers between the two cliffs and put maybe the museum or the stores in between them
hi! i'm (finally) redesigning my island and i'm making an orchard/farm, what sort of fencing should i use??? :)
my current island map. still redesigning it quite a bit though 😊 (the orchard and farm are only temporary placements) 💖
How could I fill this space on the stone path near the entrance? I want to be able to reach the bench and side paths.
ooooh :0
depending on your aesthetic, barbed, country work
Top 100%
Guys I'm almost done flattening my island, I'm looking for an cottagecore look and layout for it, so can y'all help me please?
Made a new rock garden today
Country fencing!
Omg whats the code for your floor?
Any design tips for my bakery? (Fencing, Items, Food ect.)
I’m so sorry i got the path when i had the online subscription but i don’t have it anymore and i don’t know how to see the code for a design i already have saved :(( i could show the name of a piece, but it’s in Japanese so idk if it’ll help :(( I’m so sorry
Oh alright its fine! I'm sure I'll be able to find something similar :)
Amazing coincidence but i just checked the path code channel and the exact path was there haha— here you go !!
Wow tysm this is amazing 😄
Entrance to my new island. It will be set in cherry blossom season when I finish. Had to delete my previous island because I lost interest
Wow
Nice!!!
my neighborhood area <3 changed the flowers, i like it alot more now!
What a killer pfp. Island looks great. I know I can’t do better 🤫
Thanks!
Thank you!
Redoing my island/house and here’s the new bathroom design! Obv going to make the shells symmetrical, but I don’t have enough clams to craft the 2nd. 😫
I think the bamboo lattice fencing always looks nice with a farm/Orchard!
that path is so pretty!! omg
Anyone know what is used over here ? Is this a mat, board ? Thanks
If you mean the wooded part it’s most likely a custom design
I see thanks
Made use of the little space
adorable!
how do you get those big stars?
Can someone help me out and tell me what I could make here? I have no idea what to put there..
maybe a shrine? or just a place to chill out
ooo that's actually a pretty good idea, thanks!
Your welcome!
Those are called Nova Lights. It’s a DIY that you get when Celeste visits your island
the edge of the "board" is a bamboo stopblock btw!!
just restarted and looking for some layout ideas
thank you!!
omg mines nearly the exact same layout
QRONG CHANNEL
… that doesnt belong here
does anyone know the best layout for a tropical resort theme ?
I want one half to be the resort area and the other half to be touristic area so anything from landscapes to shops but idk where the plaza should be, like should the resident services be in the middle, or more in the resort or touristic area ?
Tiki Bar 🍹
Does anyone have some beach neighborhood inspiration?
omg that is so pretty I am in love 😍
Anyone able to make me a custom sign like this for my island???? I’m wiling to pay nmt and bells

Had fun creating this :)
Hm maybe like do a water island mainly floating islands sounds nice

Good idea!! Thank you
Not copy this person but like this I can’t find one image I was mostly looking for
Whoaaaa that’s amazing. Thank you!
It use gives cool desgin if u google and can make a lovely picture using river and mountains
Just likely watch videos on YouTube if not sure how to do it
can someone send me map layouts that have similar airport/resservices/etc. i can use as inspiration? not to copy of course i’m just really stuck on how to reboot my layout
What should I do with my flattened island now
Flattened my island and this is my cottage core entrance as of now! Let me know how I can improve it :3
What do I do with all of this junk? (First image) and what do I place here? (Second image)
You’re welcome to come check out my flattened island for inspiration 🙂
tree river :^)
Hey, everyone!
Does anyone here have any suggestions for an entrance to a glitchcore island?
I was thinking of mushrooms and a rainbow/bright color pattern in the ground.
I made a ramp and cliff off mine so swimmers can jump in - made a little beachy/swim area
you should add lots of flowers!!
ooo that's cool!!
its a thing
Ah it’s looking better already
I tried doing the heart pond.. and look how ione is so cute with the flower bopper!!
i have a whole load of junk what should i do with them, its just scattered all over the right side of my island, plus i dont have a lot of bells
(junk includes gyroids, fake warrior statue
, simple panel, some random stone tablet with a red rose, and other stuff I cant explain. but i cant take pictures right now)
Whats the code for the path you used? The build looks so pretty!
I believe this is it
Thank you!
No problem!
trying out a new style for my island with drawing all the codes myself!
i love it!!!
i am late, but maybe some wood structures? like wooden log stool, wooden stakes etc !!
any islands that have marshal??
Nice the stalls to the right so they are centered and put a row of hedges along the left of the cliff
i want to turn this whole area into a beach-house kind of spot but i'm totally lost on how to get started, any ideas?
does anyone have any flower combinations for cottage core islands?!
green, white, some blues, orange, and red-
Its what i use in some areas-
thank you!!
mhm!
My favorite little space that I’ve made today on my island 🥹❤️
Any ideas on decorating beaches? I have no specific theme and dont have online membership
Readjusting Bridge Fair
lf someone to help get 3 stars on my island
Hey! This website should help. https://nookplaza.net/tools?tab=island_rating
Heyy I rlly need museum inspo for a cottagecore island :)
Could do like a research center on the fossils
farmers market
I need some ideas for what to do with the blank spaces in my island, I’m newer so I don’t even know what I don’t know. I have a carnival, a reading nook, yards for all the houses, a fruit orchard, a vegetable farm, and the areas around my shops/museums are decorated as well. Other than that I have a few big empty spaces I don’t know how to fill. My theme is pretty cottagecore/natural
Anyone have some Lord of the Rings design ideas? I have the shire, mount doom, and Minas Tirith build. DM me or reply if you have any ideas! Thanks!
maybe a little picnic spot!
apiary/ bee farm or a stargazing spot, im gonna build an observatory for my island
ty!!
hello hello. i am rather new to ac and want to try my hand at finally building a pretty town and just want to know what tips anyone has when first starting out to make customizing as easy as possible
i sent this in the wrong chat so here it is here LOL

so pretty!!!
@woven drift What do you want help with 😉
Hey, can I ask about someone's opinion on DMs about my island?
I need some ideas and opinions from people more experienced at the game.
Can I send through DM, please?
Sure, message me or post pics here
Do you guys consider this rainbow glitch pathing hurtful to your eyes?
I want my theme to be glitch core, but I don't know what I can do, if this is hurtful then I'll have to remove it.
Hi all! I’m new to this discord channel (thanks to my sister) and finally trying to make a cute farmhouse / countryside island. Any tips would be most appreciated!
Yes but it’s cool
What should I do with this? Should I get rid of the water and do something else? Tips please!
I actually really like it. I think you should make a little forest area with butterfly models and picnic spots
Can never have too many picnic spots
Oh i haven’t even thought about picnic spots on my island 👀 but thank you’ll i’ll try that (:
I’m horrible at terraforming but I’m really proud at how my entrance came out - I’ll probably add more flowers on those cliffs, they do have some custom design path flowers you can’t really see from the angle here
And these 2 areas are a little outdoor library and reading nook I made in some smaller empty spots on my island, the areas around the pink one are obviously not done haha lmk if y’all have any suggestions how to improve these areas
Hihi! I wanted to build a shopping district/area on my island and thought this was the best source of inspiration ^^ if anyone has a shopping area I would love to see it ^^
what should i make in this area? it's just a big flat field .. it's also the second level, so there's cliffs .. i don't know whether to put more cliffs and water on it or wtv so please give me ideas
@alpine tide this is what my shopping area looks like
Oo very cute! Ty! ^^
I would suggest looking through different websites/apps (pintrest, this server, etc) and get some inspiration ^^ there’s a bunch of different ideas for empty areas ^^
Turned it into a little gyroid forest!
That looks so good.
i like the first
Do you consider this one less hurtful and more smooth to the eyes?
not really no, also if you take the picture like that on the switch (that isn't bad at all i'm just pointing this out), the colors will look harsher than they most likely really are !! yk how phone cameras pick up computer monitors and it looks really weird, like that
what is the pink fence item right next to the sign ?
Its an item called wooden partition
ty!!!
my new island design :]
Hello, I'm sorry to bother I just would like a opinion.
I never did big terraforming before and I want to know if this looks ok so rare? I am hoping to make the middle look like a sunset
its hard to make an opinion right now, but im sure itll look fab when your done! i think the middle is well on its way to becoming a beautiful sunset :)
I really do hope so. Thank you very much
dont be too anxious about it, im 110% sure that itll turn out great
Thank you!
This isn’t mines, but whoever made this is very talented! 
gorgeous!
does anyone have tips on how to plan your island layout? i tried using the island design website but it was too difficult for me to visualize it
For me, I trying to pick a theme, then just rolling with it. Honestly I just do whatever comes into mind at the time - try not to be too overwhelmed and have fun with it! Remember it's never permanent C:
thank you ^^
Anyone got suggestions for improving this campsite? I'm breeding for green mums atm but I will be adding flowers
hmmm I think adding some tall furniture items or trees to make it feel a little more closed in or used would be good. One other suggestion would be to not connect the fence the whole way or alternate with a different fence for me texture/variety (bushes, wheat fields, etc.) to make it more interesting. I do like the placement of the camp site and the fire! Maybe like a seat and fishing rod near the pond would be cute too
Hey everyone, everyone's islands look so pretty 😌 I have absolutely no idea how to plan mine, what to have on it, a theme... Anything. There's just loads of blank space and I don't know how to get all the lovely items 😥 xx
Nice ideas, thanks
i ended up watching random island tours to find a theme i wanted (castle code). and you can always go to treasure islands if you don’t want to wait for items to come up you
How do I go to treasure Islands? Are they the ones with the nook mile tickets? I've never found anything decent on them so I stopped 🤣
if you look up just “treasure islands” on twitch, there’ll be tons of hacked islands where ppl just have loaded sets of items you can come and take. it’s how i get all my things bc i don’t have the patience to wait 😅
4️⃣ Do NOT request, post, or disclose piracy instructions (including how to spoof Amiibos, where to buy handmade Amiibos/NFC coins or cards, how to hack/modify your console/game files, how to emulate the game on other devices, etc.). Hacked items are NOT allowed to be traded in this server at all.
Will we ever get a map UI update? :,(
Custom paths being invisible on the map has frustrated me for a long time, but I think the rough river edges might be worse...
And the houses don't line up. 
do you have a DA we can visit??
a DA?
dream address
What should I do with this elevated space? Something that fits the theme around it.
maybe a campfire? a blanket to sit on, or another little spot you can grab foods? : )
I thought about it too, but what items should I use? I’d like to keep the tree where it is so the place for the campfire is a little akward?
im currently working on mine, and im big on being visual, so ignore the straight lines, but the squares are where im putting houses.
Ended up doing this
I could really use some help with the circled spaces. I keep coming up with ideas, building them, then hating them. So I could really use some help designing those areas.
My theme is wilderness
And if you have suggestions for other areas, I'm all ears
top one
You could try to make a spring or a little pond on the top one. For example a little dirt path would lead there through a heavy forest
that's a lot of work!! good for you 👏
Hey don't know if this fits in this channel
But I need some island inspiration, I'm looking for a summer/ wholesome/ natural/ modern look. If you have any codes, outfits, pictures, items or something please send in dms
Some pics from Majula
Im tryna make a japanese citycore, anyone have any DIY advices? (Please ping me if you do)
WIP but I'm really dig my Abels exterior rn

I went with a more rural approach but you should use cherry blossoms DIY, stalls, bamboo
Zen fence is good choice too
You probably want to terraform it more as well to create an artificial feel
Ight
lots of bamboo, and custom pathing over normal stone pathing (white city lines)
This one's my night market area
I changed it a bit with the new food options
You can also go with this approach to create some restaurants (elevation changes)
A couple of my favorite spots in my island
Looks good, natural terrain?
Nope, I flattened it and terraformed it back to life
looks gorgeous!
Wow! That's so pretty ❤️
Whats the path?
Nice use of elevations props
hiya there, i was wondering if someone could help me with an idea for a little date area on my island? i need ideas like what i could do, what time to set it to, season etc. i wanna surprise my friend with it. :3
i have to get it done bye 3:00 x-x
Wide angle shots of my zen rock garden, graveyard, samurai castle and Japanese fairy tea party.
woooow
Anybody have a casino/arcade on their island I can see for inspo?
im trying to do a sort of natural trees,flowers, cottagecore kind of theme... does anyone have any pictures i can use for inspiration?
does anyone have suggestions for how i can transition an area with a naturalistic dirt path to a road pathed area?
Fantastic!
Idk if it fits but I’m doing a kidcore island and I wanna know if you have any ideas or item suggestions
Ok
Make the road kinda dusty at first and then it turns to normal
in terms of villagers stitches is also a really good choice
i’d also recommend using some of the plaza items from nook mileage
Ok thx
Anyone have any ideas for campsite areas? If so, Tell me, I would be gladly interested!
made a little ice cream parlor with the new medieval building sides
THATS SO PRETTY 😍😍😍💕
It's MA 9488 1972 2446
Thanks 🙂
This isn't mine, I googled campsite ideas and I thought this was really cute, If you want it then here you go!
that's such a pretty island omg the theme is everything 😍😍
In Happy Hope Designer he asks for a cafe style house. So maybe a cafe would look good!
do you have a dream address code? love your island!!!
how do you get this castle
There are several furniture pieces - Castle Wall, Arch, Tower and Medieval Wall Side
do anyone have it? so i can get it in my catalogus
You'd be better off asking in #cataloging
stitches is moving to my island and i wanna get his yard all set up:') anyone have him & wanna show off how they decorated his yard?
soon ill show my amazing island (its so good)
How do people make such amazing islands and mine looks like shit :(
Mine does too, just go with what you feel like
tbh just look at the designs that you like, take inspiration from them and look at the ways you can improve
Hey! Im looking to do a entrance! What I wanna do is like the second photo you see. I cant tho bc of where my rs is. Can someone think of anything else i can do?
So I believe the island in that second image the shops are at the very back of the island and it's just a waterfall between ables and nooks so it could fit if you have a ramp go down by nooks. If you want more space and the shops close to the airport, you could consider have only one elevated then angle the terraforming to lead you to RS for something similar. If you still want water, you could consider a pond with bridge to angle it.
ok thanks!!
entrance complete (marshal is a cutie)
Can someone help. I’ve always had a hard time with these kinds of paths. I’ve redone it about ten different times and it always looks weird
How funny that i actually have a very similar entrance to that, just flipped and with a lot more terraforming
Ohh nice!! My residents service is right behind the hill which is why it’s kinda very cramped together hehe
@stiff crypt The trick to those paths are to make them more curvy so you could have it not go the full length, not all connect to each other or leave gaps in the path for a weed or something.
That’s what I tried doing but idk how to get it right
I have a city in the south of my island and I moved Tiffany to a part that gives her a bit of a yard but I’m horrible at decorating yards so if anyone has ideas that’d be awesome
Hiya! I have a island shaped ike this. And i want a nice entrance nothing crazy just simple. Could someone help me out?
Maybe it would help to decorate the area first. Like, erase all of that and place trees, bushes, flowers, etc. that way you probably have a clear idea of what direction you want the path to go. I also suggest looking at tours of natural islands to see how others did it. I’m sure there’s even a tutorial or two on how to place the path. I’ve gotten the hang of using paths like that, but I’m terrible at explaining how to place it. Basically, the path should be skinny and curvy. Even breaking the path up helps with how it looks too.
Feeling proud of my lil food truck area 🙂
mmm i love ur island! what path did you use?
starting my neighborhood, which fence should i use? I can’t decide
I like the smaller one
Any ideas how I can further decorate this? I feel like it’s kinda barren.
Flamingo floaty? Some of the floating biome pot plant things?
Whst floating biome pot? What’s the item name?
https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Item:Floating-Biotope_Planter_(New_Horizons)
This. Thought it was a biome 😂
Nookipedia
The Floating-Biotope Planter is a miscellaneous furniture item in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. As a miscellaneous item, it can be placed on either the ground or on the surfaces of tables and other similar furniture items that have surfaces for items. As an outdoor item, it will provide an additional 0.5 development points towards the island ra...
Wait. That’s supposed to go on the water? Hmm. Man have I been using it wrong. Lmao.
Thanks. Will try it out. 🙂
It won’t go on water (like a pond) but it would sit on top of your water path thing
Not sure if it totally suits a pool compared to like a mossy swamp pool but it might break up your water
Does anyone have any beach side museum refs I can use? I’m going to place mine in the very back corner with a “secret passageway” looking for ideas and placement
hiii im in need of a simple pannel! I can trade or give you some bells !
So I’m new here and new on animal crossing, I’m currently at the stage where I need to get KK to come here, so I have to improve my island, can anyone give some tips on what to do?
Hey I'm at this stage too. I'm trying to make my island more organized and decorated rn so just putting flowers around and decorating the outside of every house and planting trees in a manner i like. I'm also working on my beaches and the rocks so I'm kinda making a playground area on one part of my beach and pottery area on one of the rocks
thanks!!!
That sounds sooo good, yeah I think I’m just going to work on rearranging and making things neater, and stuff if anyone wants to visit my island and give me some ideas that would be great. just drop me a message and we can help each other 🙂 x
Thankuuuuuu💗
Anytime:)
Can anyone help with me some kidcore/norma core/ weirdcore or horror designs?
What should I put in this lil area next to nook’s?
Maybe put some stalls like in a zigzag manner. One in the front left, second in the front right. Add some flowers or other ”natural” items
Then just some cobblestone to walk on
You could make it into a parking lot. You already have the shopping carts there.
Any tips on how to lay out the big empty space above the pond? I wanted to make it a residential area but I’m not sure how
Thoughts on my neighborhood? I was going to go pink Camilla and black roses but not sure if it's too busy
Not me working on a Godzilla section for my husband
It’s a little monotonous. Break it up with street lamps, benches, garden wagons etc
Parking lot
I’m going with a horror theme for my island anyone have any pointers or know some furniture that pairs well with horror theme?
Dark wood furniture, black street lamps, iron benches, scattered papers, trash items (barrels, bin bags, bins, metal frame etc), hospital items in moderation, wheelchairs, black roses, tombstones. spooky fencing, jail bars
Bugs and bug models, dinosaur models, australopith and toy bugs, dolls in black, dark mushrooms
😊 tysm! I’ll definitely try those items out.
Doll in black is a nice idea but I wasn’t sure if it was an item in game. I’ll scope it out. Again thank you, you’ve been a great help.
My fav custom designs for horror (sorry for the quality cba getting up from the sofa xD )
Slowly getting there :)
Would it be a good idea to have an empty grave with footsteps leading away from it? Like I have here.
clever!
Maybe add in a shovel next to it!
some flowers by their grave maybe, a candle
I was wondering if anyone had ideas for me for a surf shop! I have a lot of stuff already it just looks unfinished and I think I need to spice it up a little more
Anyone have any ideas for a tropical campsite design? I’m in a creative slump…
Anyone know a good item I can put in the middle of these circle things? I just feel like they look bland by themselves...
U could do like a tropical tree house campsite and put it on a cliff ?
What’s the vibe of ur island? Maybe u can do a seating area??
Hmm. Let me see.
I'm going for a springcore island and I think that is a good idea! Thanks : )
Ohhh ohhh not sure if you saw this idea already. Blood stained paths!!
Thanks for sharing but I have already looked into blood stained paths. In fact I made one myself.
That’s super cool!! More power to u !
Anyone have any inspiration ideas I could use for my little neighborhood? My island is more on the natural side, but I guess this little neighborhood would lean more suburban, but still more natural.
ik this is old but that is so cute
yo im not sure if this is the place to go but i need help finding out what to do with a small space ive looked for inspiration on youtube and pinterest but cant find anything that just fits
trash
You really have to be rude like that?
Hey starting my terraforming process on my island - ideas on how i can create a cohesive design? It’s a mixture of natural with some element of town development. Want to get the basic terraforming down before i get too detailed
re: started terraforming, what are you planning to do with the land in the back?
ps: really interesting enterence. i’d love to see pics!
I’m still figuring it out as i’m not sure if i wanna keep my villagers in the one area or spread them out. I wanna create an area off to the middle for my home in like a mini island and put the museum on the level behind resident services
I find i let my creativity happen when i’m building and just go with it so i’m not overwhelmed when i got too many ideas lol
why not do both with your villagers? have some naturally spread out, and maybe 3 or 4 homes to make up a developed neighborhood?
Could work - i was think of having a bridge over the river near nooks and have some levels of villager homes on the right side of the island
north east and shops are developed neighborhoods. central is natural.
my north east looks like your north east. 🙂
a tiny thin strip at the top, lol. hardly big enough for a house.
yaaas! build all the bridges!!!!!
That's a great idea, thank you
My island is kind of the same vibe I’d say, so I have a community pool, a food truck stand, a pretty big campsite, a farm, a surf shop. Depends of what ur thinking but there’s so much u can do
Needs a ton of tweaking but started my shopping district 🥺
love the view from the other side of my river :)
anyone doing a tropical resort with a residential area ? I need some inspo
Zucker’s yard area. I’m glad he enjoys it 
How are you guys so good at decorating? 🥺
Omg you have maple ❤️
what should i make behind my plaza? i already have a picnic spot
I was planning to make a spirited away island for halloween uhm can I ask for help if do we have any red arches?
Umm, pool party spot?
I think there is a Castle thing that has a variant like that
I had this plan for this little farm toolshed but it didn’t end up the way I wanted it
Oooooo I’ll look for that thanks !!
I would recommend a brown or damaged version of the castle arch with maybe a torii in front of it for some extra flair.
More WIP shopping district stuff 🥺
Cute movie theater area WIP
I made a Vapewave pool my island is a wip I use custom design floor so I can make I really love Vapewave style
Still working on it but this is my little main st lol
Is there a tool or way to practice design my island to see if I like it before actually doing it in game?

Anyone know what this are called ? Electric post ?
I think it's like a telephone post, you should be able to see it being sold at the nook stop for miles. By the way #game-help-questions❓ would be a better place for questions like this!
Ooooo thank u !
its a utility pole
I’m trying to figure out what to put in this little space. My island has a natural nieghborhood vibe and up past that incline is my able sisters
…. Okay… I just got done saying that I need to put something in this space which implies that the flowers won’t be there..?
what is a nutmeg
sexy map
maybe a little benches and flower bed area?
or maybe someones personal garden, with some crops
i like maps alot. i really like maps so much man. we love maps so fucking much ill die for maps. especially world maps 😩
hot
no offense
falls down the stairs cutely i enjoy this server and ive been here for 10 mins
DOES ANYONE have any pretty stone path designs?
Does anyone have any ideas for a city core type farm area?
hmmm music area, dog park, food truck, pond, seated area (my thought it kinda like Horrible Gaming on YT's NYC island she did with some chairs, chess, etc.), you could also do like a soccer field, movie area, or put a house there.
oo I have been thinking about this too for my island. I think a grocery/farm building would be a good transition to a farm. For my city island, I plan to somehow fade out/sprinkle more rural areas here than there on higher elevation where my roads don't go. (like tuck it in gaps)
little cafe for my plaza area, gonna change the fence to fit better
Hi everyone I plan to make a tree orchard for my island..I was wondering is there an optimal way to have the trees layout?
Hai guys! So I’m getting back into animal crossing after months of not playing and I decided I want to re do my island, I’d like a hippie/ boho kinda aesthetic, do anyone have any inspo I could look at?
followed a tutorial for a sunken heart waterfall, gonna make it the centre of the neighbourhood for my normal villagers c:
any ideas how to make my rivers like this mine looks really ugly ://
and nobody wants my flowers and they are in the way
any ideas for what i should add here? the area is pretty cute but i feel like maybe it's missing something?
Maybe add some flowers, bushes and weeds to fill ground space?
That looks really good wow
thank u sm!! heres the finished product as well as all the houses in the neighbourhood, molly, maple and ione live there see if u can guess which house is which haha
How to decorate this area of my island?
Heya! This is better posted in #acnh-media or #acnh-chat⛱️ but tell cherry no!!!
Thank you!
Ngl
Indorilla (Marena)sorry my daughter was playing in my name sorry again
Lil fishy market
Does anyone know what to do in this empty area?
Since you have houses there, you could make a neighborhood. If there’s enough space. Maybe even a shopping district?
Omg! Tysm! I'll try that
Can any one help me
Hi guys, I’m new to this server and I joined out of curiosity, but I wanna start designing my island and making it look nice but I don’t know where to start. I decided to go with a fairycore/pink theme
Hello
Hello
Join what?
Join my island
Sure but I haven’t played this for long so I’m not gonna be much help
Join I m bored
Ok
#island-hangouts🛩️🏝️ its probably better fit here
I made a little food truck area but I feel like I could add more. Any advice?
Add some if the retro bus stop things
Or some corrugated iron fence
Make it look like a street
Those are some good ideas. Thank you
Me ?
The other guy inviting
Oh
I just need help with my island or any speed build tutorial because I learn better that way
Can any one help I pay u bells
again, not the right channel
300k
I need advice
Thought it would be nice, if that poor dude wouldn't have to sleep in his boat every night, so I made him his own little house. Does he appreciate it? Well. Just as much as I appreciate his singing 🤪😆
I don't know if anyone else is doing a Kidcore Island, but he's an idea for the Nooks Cranny and the Tailors! (I'm changing it soon :>)
That's awesome !!
Hai guys! So I’m getting back into animal crossing after months of not playing and I decided I want to re do my island, I’d like a hippie/ boho kinda aesthetic, do anyone have any inspo I could look at?
Hey all,
No sure if any have experienced the same, but I’m having such doubts about my island. I just started a month ago and I feel like I hate my island layout after seeing others islands. I’m planning on moving the row of houses possibly over to the left side that’s open, and the museum to the center island. Do you guys have any recommendations?
Kk singing goodbye to Shhpaw
Do whatever you think looks pretty but I will say I would spread your houses apart so your villagers wander around a little more. Also moving things around costs a lot of Bell's so I would start saving up. Also if you have no idea what to do just find things you like online make it yours and put it all together. Hope this helps
@manic junco thank you! I’m planning on laying out a blueprint for different designs and seeing what I like most. But that helps, thanks!
Glad I could help!
Maybe have them spread out with seprate and themed yards? Idk
Also rate my entrance (I just finished it today, I will show a before picture
Hey besties, need some farmcore or cottagecore inspiration, anyone got ideas? Pictures would be much appreciated but free ideas are always welcome
I cant find a screen shot but imagine the town square but without the building and a fence behind it
Well furniture and decor I really recommend wooden items, mushrooms for cottage core, color palletes of brown beige, foresty stuff the silo hyacinths flower beds (use reese and cyrus to get your desired color) definitely the windmill
Idk if this is the best, I have a norm core island so idk whats best :p
I'll use some of your ideas, thanks so much<3
Yw 🙂
I’m really loving how my cottage core entrance is turning out!
Omg its so cute : o
Thank you!
i would love to see anyone's plaza/town center areas! my theme is like Italian coastal city. torn between using one of the statues or a fountain in the center 🤔
Just a lil heart island 
Awww 🙂
just finished my entrance!! ☺️
Would love some ideas or inspo for decorating ables and nooks to fit an abandoned tourist area in a jungle environment if anyone has any ideas!
Awww yis - just finished my parky entrance leading up to plaza/residence services
🤩🤩
For all my kidcore besties, I turned my nooks into a bouncy castle!!
omg that's so cute ahhh!!!! 😍😍
I turned an empty space on my island into a pool!
Nice
progress on my island entrance
I like your island
thank you!
Some photos of my island🤍✨
A little work in progress
i need inspo for my island
i want it to be based around the anime beastars if that makes sense, or sort of a city theme, dm me with pics!!
Inspo?
short for inspiration !
Oh
I need some help deciding where to put all the buildings I’m terrible at island design 
I’m planning out a multi level neighborhood but I don’t have space to include houses on like the base level. is there a way I can make the path look less blocky? I’m not sure what to put here
I could put a house on the right! and then find something for the weird gap on the left? that’s what I’m leaning towards. up on the right is like a luxury beach type thing so I’m trying to blend the two together
How do you record like that
What is the qr code for the bear and bunny thing on the ground it's so cute😭
hold down the capture button then trimmed it
But you downloaded it to your phone how
same way you send captures with a qr code
You can do that
yea
I need to learn more about the switch I’ve had it done the first month and I still know so little
If you go to the photo album and press A on a screenshot or video, the "send to smartphone" prompt shows up
This is where my two squirrels live (marshal and poppy) and I used happy home paradise home designer to make the houses fit the area
I recently flattened my island and the first thing I’ve rebuilt is the entrance. I’m pretty happy with it!
Does anyone have designs with stone bridges? I just finished my last stone bridge and now I’m feeling like i should’ve done zen bridges 🥴 would love some inspiring
Stop being creative you all make mine look bad lmao 😂
How did you use it?
i like that all the main buildings are in one area so maybe you could make like a shopping district connecting like resident services to nooks cranny and able sisters, and if you look up “acnh shopping district” there’s some really cute designs!
I talked to Tom nook after I did the party in the expansion pass
That's so pretty!!!
is flattening your island worth all the work?
Can someone help me with the design of the island?😅
My attempt at making a barn
I love my island entrance/shopping center! Let me know what y’all think and how so can improve my island!
Does anyone have any mini neighborhood inspiration or just villager yard inspiration for a natural island?
It can be any theme as long as it’s a natural one (ex. forestcore, cottagecore, springcore, etc). I’ve looked for inspiration on the usual sites I look at, but I haven’t really found much as to what I’m looking for. The neighborhood/yards will be placed by my secret beach which is in the middle of my island.
hi does anyone know what this item is, i have looked everywhere and can't find a name or the actual item
@dawn vortex that’s a Plant Partition
thank youuuu
Can someone help me design a neighborhood and an entrance plz .-.
I have a picture of entrance if u want it
does anybody have filbert on their island? im trying to find some inspo for outside his house but can't find anything
no sorry :(
<@&494448231036747777>
Hey! Just asking for opinions on were I should place Dobie. He’s currently at my front beach near mountains but I don’t know whether to move him in a Forrest or not ☺️
Hello I just got a new switch after my ex broke mine a year ago so I had to restart all my games, if you'd like to help me out my gate is open right now the code is NKCW7
Since he’s a wolf having him in the forest seems like a wolf thing
One of my entrance designs I did before tearing it down
That’s what I was thinking as well, thank you for your input! 😊
Does anyone have a theme on their island? What is it?
Kidcore
Can someone suggest some island aesthetics?
I get stuck looking for a preference and I want my island to look nice :(
Do you have a general idea of what you might want to do?
Like more city type island, more natural etc
When I did my first island I didn't have a theme I just decorated with whatever I liked and that was fun
Sort of more natural but I'm not really sure yet ;_;
That's what I'm doing
Are you looking for help with a theme or what would be most helpful?
Oh okay, I got confused because you said above you weren't doing a theme and we're just decorating with what you like
If you want to do more natural, maybe cottagecore
Yeah, I just wanna start giving my island a theme instead of decorating:,)
I've looked into cottage core, It looks pretty nice, I just don't know where to start
Like terraforming and moving everything around
You don't need to do this but I would start by taking down everything and flattening and then mapping out what I wanted to do
Oh okay, (do I need Nintendo online for any of this, cause I don't have it ;-;)
Do you need NSO to flatten your island you mean?
Yeah and for any tips you give me
No you don't need NSO
Okay good :)))
to take down everything you just put it back in your inventory and flattening you do with terraforming 😃
Awesome :D
And when I move the other buildings like houses and stuff, where do I put them when I start terraforming
That's up to you, you can just place them somewhere random so they're out of the way if you don't mind paying to move them again
Ah okay, thankyou so much ;A;

Hey I need some help on my Japanese traditional island, I want to turn my norm core into a Japanese traditional or Japanese rural town island
Also my island looks weird except for the entrance bc I have no idea where to start
What kind of things would be most helpful for you rn?
i dont have any pictures of it but it would be rlly cute to have a picnic area with flowers, bushes and trees around it!
looking for sort of citycore inspo pictures but i dont want it rlly cluttered !!
Love how my nooks area turned out
it's stunning!!😍😍
it looks really good
Thank you
Do you have the fence bc i dont have it
https://youtu.be/60m4fg7a9UA something like this might help?
Hi friends! ✨
Welcome to my Animal Crossing New Horizons speed build video!
In this video I'm going to build a shopping district.
I hope you enjoy watching!!
.............................................................................
¡Hola amigos! ✨
¡Bienvenido a mi speed build de Animal Crossing New Horizons!
En este vídeo voy a contruí...
i have a big open space and idk what to put there my island theme is like cottagecore/overgrown im thinking about a pool area but idk any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Can someone help with citycore ideas
Hi, whatcha need help with?
Oh! So you place the 3 paths in the spots shown, and then kick the ones on the ends once!
It should like, round them? Iirc?
The island design im thinking of using
Thats sick
I really like that design!
Cute 
looks pretty I hope you use it😍😍
that’s so cute!
I started the flattening method and I'm pretty happy with how much easier it is to imagine the design I want. Really, thankyou for you help ♡♡♡♡♡
I'm glad it was helpful!!
🤍🤍🤍
Well maybe some random areas? Idk im making a mini market area but having a hard time (maybe bc of the season?)
anyone got a good road code?
Who designed your welcome sign?
Not sure I just looked up Sakura on the searching thing inside the clothing shop and eventually found it after looking through majority of the pages, I think there was like 54 pages total when I last found it so it should be easy to find
Can anyone give me tips on how to make an entrance with my airport and RS is in such a weird place? I've been thinking over and over again but i couldnt find a solution, but i dont wanna restart, so its really frustrating 😢
I couldnt find a solution for roads and stuff 😓
Im going for a kidcore themed island if that would help. Also im open if theres another river shape or placement suggestion because i dont think mine is the best either.
decided to rework the terraforming at my entrance a bit, currently decorating and here is how it looks so far 😊

That’s sick I feel like my island sucks now :((
my island literally does not have any sort of design it's just a whole mess with weeds and stuff lying around
Don’t feel bad!! My island doesn’t look good right now either lol
You should see my island, its pretty bad
Mine didn’t either for a while, but it’s coming together!
Do you have a theme in mind
sorta i wann have like some areas naturelike and some city like i also want to have movie refrences tii
anyone got the code for this?
on the top right I think you'll need to put less bridges
I would kind of terraformed in front of it and made it hidden 😊
I need help 😦 I wanna make my island pretty and have a core im working on but idk if it will work
I re did my memorial picture for my graveyard, I just need to work on building it now
What I did with mine, is make a small kinda terraforming hill, either where you walk between the cliffs or go up a incline and there's another one that leads right in front of rs
my plaza bit is coming along so cute
I decided I'd make a flower crown area by my able sisters, it turned out quite well! 
Can i visit yours sometimes
That is so pretty!

Would love some suggestions for the areas with ?. Not going for a specific theme, but heavily influenced by Forestcore and cottage core. Also a big fan of some mystical/whimsical things
Not completely sold on the Museum being where it’s at. I think I’d like to change it with where the enchanted forest is, and make the enchanted forest the focal point; a bunch of gnomes, Gyroids, and glowing moss
Can I see you island because my island is 2,5 weeks old 000
You could make a butterfly garden, bunch of picnic spots everywhere, a little forest café, a pottery craftshop, a gyroid garden, a woodworking studio, stuff like that
A whimsical outdoor library in the woods! Maybe next to the museum if you move it somewhere empty
started working on my beaches lol dont mind the mess
LOVE THAT IDEA
So im having a bit of trouble decideding if I want to keep my theme or change it. I’m almost done with my current them cottagecore but I’m very bored of it and getting on it makes me not want to play. The idea I’m looking for is like a harujiku city vibe but I haven’t been able to find any good references that could help me decide what I want to do so 1 should I change my island theme when im so close to being done and if so what should I do?
^ this is currently my problem. I kinda don’t vibe with it anymore and it makes me not want to play. I’d honestly say change it, and if you can’t find references, you can do it for sure 😎 @woven drift
i think i am gonna reset it 100%. I just get so overwhelmed but also feel like I don’t like it and it’s not what I want. So I just want to start fresh for mine.
I thought about restarting but I don’t want to work for all the diys I worked very hard to get but I probs will I just never have messed with the city theme before and I’m intimidated lollll
I’ve always done either cottage core, forest core, something in that area so it def will be a new experience for me
I’m going to bribe my friends to hold onto my items and some of my better extra DIYs 💀 that’s literally the only thing holding me back
I tried doing a kinda cottage core thing with mine and don’t like it. I want a like. “Colorado small town surrounded by nature” energy and im just not getting it from this island
Yess I definitely agree I think since I’ve constantly done cottagecore foresty vibes I’m def ready for a change
Do it 👀 there are probably a lot of hidden inspiration hidden in other tags too, like japan, or like a specific city you might be able to get 👀 sometimes you have to be creative. Googling with “” also brings up specific results mentioning whatever is in the quotes so ‘animal crossing “Tokyo” “Asian” “Japanese” etc will pull a wider net of images
there’s also a image to animal crossing image converter online you can scan with your phone to add to your nookphone custom designs if you can’t find something in the actual design department (I’ve had to do this lol)
I’m glad you like it!
So its not just me putting flowers on the beach for space hahaha (Very nice dock)
This is just bad how ugly it is
omg u have punchy no fair 😦

I just demolished my river, moving houses. Flowers all on the left side of the island. It’s mostly an empty island. Really need some tips. I have torn it apart so many times bc I didn’t like it
What theme are you going for?
Honestly. I have no theme. I don’t even know what I’m going for

If anyone would like to join and take a look I’d appreciate it 🥲 I’m struggling so bad 😂😂
I hate my island so much 😩 This is why I hate doing natural islands. I get stuck so quickly. Does anyone have any terraforming/waterscaping tips? I know to make things curvy. I mainly need help with making areas flow together well. My theme is forestcore if that matters any.
There’s this awesome YouTuber by the name Toffee and she does a lot of forest core builds. I would check her out, helped me a ton!
Is it natural to go through a waterfall obsession phase? 😂 finally unlocked terraforming and am in loveee!
Hey I am trying to make a fancy like island. I need layout ideas
Bottom left corner is unavailable because that has fruit trees
It looks terrible rn so I need help as soon as possible
I started flattening my island yesterday and I'm almost finished
Are there any tips or websites for planning my island before I start placing everything?
Does anyone have ideas for kitchen cupboards? I’d like the but the game practically has none from what I can see
Finished my able sisters place!!! And laundromat
Theres some nice dresser things that work pretty well?
Not a lot of wall cupboards tho
Do you know which ones specifically?
It’s really dumb there are NO wall shelves >>
I’m visiting on a friends island but when I’m back I’ll check my storage!! Also there might be custom designs and some of the stove things help too!
Ohhh! If I can make them look remotely 3D-ish it would be great!
Anyone got any waterfall or terraform ideas?
maybe surround the stone henge with glowing moss?
I made a new residential area
Yes
I like that idea!
Not sure what to do with my museum...
Nooks Cranny is on the left and Ables is on the right of the museum. Nooks and Ables both have cliffs with waterfalls coming down the sides of them. I would like my museum to be similar but I cannot go beyond two levels on the cliff.
keep it low, decorate the front of it with a castle front maybe if that’s your vibe and make a moat around it with some of these beside it (you can fit two single tile items on the top of these)
Anyone got any tips on how to make my island abit better I haven't played for awhile but atm im starting to make a bamboo/zen type are at the the you of my map
Anyone know why rocks aren’t spawning here?
It may be due to paths being there
Is your island completely covered? Rocks also won’t spawn if you have too many items and stuff in one acre.
Any tips on how to design/organize my fruits/veg/orchard? Right now all my fruit trees are piled onto one side of my island and my veg is just hanging out until I figure out what to do
Off topic but im so confused how your display shows two main character villagers and homes
?
You can create more characters. They all get another home.
Fortune teller tent 🏕…
You could make a lower area where you have waterfalls in front of the museum with a path behind it and two inclines going up on the sides with decorations in the middle (im bad at describing things)
Make a little roadshop with fruits and veggies like a farm shop
Make a second account on your switch and log into the same game. You get a second person. the max is 8 players on one island
this is my museum design! im open to suggestions if u think something would be better!
Cool! You could add mountains behind and put waterfalls behind the museum (and they can connect to your river) but otherwise it looks sick
Welcome to BOUNCY M E G A MART
ty fr the advice

I need some advice on how to decorate this paved area. It previously was a long road. The style is horror/dark town
My island is completely clean because it didn’t feel inspired to finish it
But now I don’t feel inspired to start it
What do I put here
What’s your theme
Sort of Zen garden stuff. I use a lot of the stone furniture that you can just craft
Make kind of like a rock garden forest
And maybe at the end of it put like a duck you could pray too
I like ducks…
Fishing market along the beach, and maybe a butterfly garden up top
WHAT PROGRAM/APP THING IS THAT
gave my farming area a little update
heyyy which software are u using
does anyone have any acnh inspo of a japanese festival?
Any recommendations for my last villager? I’m replacing marshal with poppy later but idk who my last villager should be. Was thinking tia but I kinda don’t want any gimmicky character so no food or item characters
Any personality types you prefer?
Anything that isn’t sisterly or jock. Roald is the only jock I like and I don’t really like any sisterly except muffy and she unfortunately doesn’t fit my village since it’s super fairytale and has a theme like howls moving castle
Yeah~ it’s my second fav Ghibli movie and I love the style of it
Lolly is cute or maybe Callie?
AND SAME!! I love ghibli movies so much they’re all so lovely
Or Maple or poppy aaa there’s so many that could fit 😭
I’m actually replacing marshal with poppy soon so she is gonna be perfect. I think I’ll try adding lolly in and see how I feel about her
Ty for the recommendations!
Depending on what you have you could just add some small decals of like darker flower arrangements, making the floor path have plant growth seeping in from the outside in or having some sprout up , basically I’d personally just recommend some filler details of the things you like but it also already looks really good
Ooo that’s so pretty! I think it’s perfect then
Sorry that’s not helpful tho 😅

I need help designing my island 😭
bob
maybe move all the houses to be in lines like a neighbourhood, make a pathway leading up to rs, play aroujd with river designs, make patterns with terraforming
okay so does anyone have an idea of what paths i should use im going for fairycore (gonna add some items and stuff) so does anyone have any idea on what paths, bridges, and stairs i could use
wat are you using
He's you the new island planner it's a 3d version but it's a pain to get it the right way of your island I tried using it but the problem is your cliffs won't render if there's somthing in the way of it for example buildings
ok
got the furniture all set up for my fish market! Now I just need to do pathing and landscaping and stuff
but I wanted to arrange the furniture first so I knew for certain what items and shape I was working with
i think the rivers around it could be symmetrical
I need that on my medieval island
thank you :D
how could i make a rice paddy
Any idea on what I should theme my island?
What do you like the most
that looks amazing omg!!
This is so cool!! Do you have a dream address?
has anyone ever done a wild west themed island?? i dont rly know where to start
Any opinions ?
I would recommend shino. She is beautiful in every way. I just reset and got so damn hyped up when I saw shino was moving in.
Thank you :’D
Thank you so much!!!
Not yet :o my island is only half finished
Ofc!!
it’s looking amazing so far!
Wait if u like ghibli why not get kiki? Basically almost all ghibli fans has it 
My completed nooks, leisure area, and entrance to redds!!

that's so cool!!! what app/website is that?
its called island designer, u can either use it on kanahiko.itch. io or download it from there aswell
Ah okay tysmm
btw, id reccomend downloading it bcs it isnt as laggy
Alright will dooo
I would completely flatten your island and basically start from scratch.
i wanna do that but there’s some places i rlly like but just wanna change where they are xd
And I would also put all the buildings on the beach at first
I haven't played AC since the update until now, is there a special way to get the fairy lights and tent tipees or are they just found in the shops? Also where do you get the stars from?! Are they DIYS?
I can’t really say anything cuz I don’t know how your island looks like. I could visit you rn if you want tho.
It’s almost always easiest to completely flatten if you want to fully redo your island.
The fairy lights are an item called “Plain party lights” and the tent is called “Kids tent”. The stars are an item called “Nova lights” which can be crafted with 5 star fragments. The smaller stars are various star fragments scattered around.
Thanks!
What’s it take to redo an island? Like what do I need to unlock
You have to have at least three stars and then you can unlock the island design app in the nook stop
Then you purchase terraforming, waterscape, and pathing permits with nook miles
I’ve never even seen A star much less 3
You can talk to Isabel and ask about your rating, then she can give you suggestions
I currently have a total of 2 stars and Isabelle says I need more stuff, I need ideas on what to put on my island
Oh I thought you meant the shooting stars
I only get options for island tune,flag,discuss a resident, and I’m good for now
I’ve had animal crossing for a while but still have no idea what I’m doing
anyone know a good elegantcore brick path maybe with flowery accents?
Anyone know what this is ?
I believe I would say a Log Branch Seat 🤷🏼
If no one here knows someone in #game-help-questions❓ may know
wuts this for
Question. Does this look like the mannequin is a guy doing a back float? Or does it look like a floating carcass? I can’t decide what I think about this.
Any tips for someone that has always wanted to make good designs but gets frustrated cause I always draw a blank when trying to think of what to make even if I look up themes and all that?
I want to make a beautiful island but I cant even make a beautiful 16x16 picture so ugh.. dont know what to do
I'm definitely seeing the last option 😬 maybe he can be on like a floaty thing?
I can’t put him on one unfortunately. I can only put him on a table or chair… which doesn’t really help. Lol.
Maybe I should try a different idea. Lol.
Ahah no I see that. Is it possible to make like a "floor" thing that looks like a floaty thing?
Did that make sense
Is it obvious i don't know the english word for the floaty thing lol
Oh yeah. Like a floor pattern that looks like a raft or floaty. Okay.
Yeah!
That would be an easy fix.
Idk how to but it could work I think!
Yeah. I’ll try that. Thanks. 🙂
I hope it works! Good luck
Thank you.
anyone have any ideas for this area on my citycore island? i wanted to do like a flea shop type thing but im not sure how to- any ideas would be great tho! (side note i kinda wanna keep that rock there but dont know how it would fit in- i dont mind removing it tho lol)
using bus stops and terraforming platforms is a good way to make fake buildings!
I think it looks perfect!!! definitely not dead!
Hmm. I’ll have to experiment a bit. lol.
Where do you guys normally get your design codes from? Twitter? Reddit? somewhere else?
Any ideas I could do for a medieval island (which isn’t a castle) as I have lots of land and I need to use it
I get codes from Pinterest and YouTube mostly.
Small build i made for someone special. (Unfinished)
Is this a good plan, I'm going for a more Melanie Martinez theme
Any suggested island layouts for like a downtown around the airport and town hall?
I feel like I want too much scenery while simultaneously wanting large functional farms and I just can’t figure out a way for them all to fit.😭
It looks good
I think you can do it!
Awww thanks!
If you need help I’m here
Omg that reminded me I also wanted a cafe💀
So I made little things and one is a cafe, wedding area, gaming area and so on and I might put each villager in them so like a theme
Yeah it’s really not gonna fit now😭🤣
That sounds so beautiful
❤️ my dream island came to life
Anybody got a recommendation for fancy outdoor/patio furniture? I’m designing Ankha’s yard and I want to do a sort of high end porch/patio design.
i get them from pinterest!
I like the iron garden table and chairs and I customize it to white
Please rate my island design for my house ❤️
That's beautiful!
thanks 😄
Im trying to work on mine but i have no idea what to do lol
Is it possible to use a design on my island and then delete the design and still have it stay on the ground?
im not sure to be honest
i dont think so
yea I just tested it, kcant happen
10/10!!! looks great 🥰
anyone got any orchard inspo? i wanna see so i can develop a cute little fruit orchard
I have the same desire! An orchard sounds amazing. 🥰
Tangys yard
Looks AMAZING!
Thank you!:DD
working on a little cliff / woods area 😊
This is what I want my island to look like
I feel like it still needs something, does anyone know what I can do to make it seem better ?
something on the beaches
Yea I was thinking of putting a lot of stuff like for relaxing and party's and stuff
hey guys. I'm doing a bamboocore island but it obvs need to have regular (at least pine) and fruit trees. any recommendations on how to go about that?
Make your dream address (or something) in cherry blossom season and have hardwood trees around the plaza and alleyways n such!
you can try doing a tiered mountain with trees. You can put a winter volcano on top and surround it with cherry blossoms, that would look stunning, and still following the asian vibe
like Mount Fuji-san inspired
I need beach inspiration:OO
Does anyone any ideas or inspo pics for a sunken island? I just flattened my island and idk what to do 😭😭
I just started playing again a couple weeks ago so my island is still pretty new, does anyone have any advice, inspo, or tips for it? I’m going for a natural tropical beach look
Im having trouble mapping out what I want on my island. Im thinking the East side could hills with the villager homes but I only have a market place and nothing else. Ideas of things to put on my island
I love that aestheticccc! I would say make it into like a tropical resort or something, super luxurious those zodiac furniture pieces could be really nice there although it takes a while to get the recipes. Lots of palm trees, lots of coconuts, all along the beach should be like those chairs where you lay down and then on the actual island could be bars with coconut juice, restaurants, your house could be a hotel, there can even be a stage for performances! Just some ideas there, good luck with designing! 
Thank you so much <3
No problem!
What about making the river look more natural by giving it some egdes and curls instead of doing it straight?
Honestly idk it feels imperfect and I kind of like it like that (I already did it and I'm too lazy aswell to remake it look natural
Oh ok hahahah
Ok I would love some help. The two question mark areas is my biggest problem I’ve had for awhile. The very top one is where I had my flower breeding area. I no longer need that but have no idea what to do there. The lower question mark is an area that I have had empty for almost a year it just has some blue flowers and a gazebo that’s it idk if that’s good enough or I need to change it. Plz help
For the flower breeding area, lookout area for stars cuz it’s near the end of a cliff maybe. It’s a nice position for looking at and taking pictures at a lookout area. For the lower question mark, possibly a fishing spot cuz it’s next to a river. I’ll think of more ideas for the lower one tho!
hello loioking for help with designing my island i have deleted my island 3 times and cant make an ideal fairy core island.
i think itd look better with a black cobble path and mabye some star fragmets at the side going into the island, idk if u can do that tho
either way itd look good
ye
ye
Damn
Idk how to then it’s only asking me grab one or drop item
Should I get rid of the pergola
Maybe get reese and cyrus in harvs commune and customize it to white or smth?
Thanks you !
that looks great!!!! 🥰😍
Working on my City Core! Entrance was off centre so I put a car park and I think it works well. Also plan to have a suburbs street area in the right of the island.
Only focusing on patterns rn, will do furniture later
Hi, just unlocked terraforming and I have the ambitious idea to make my island a forestry/cottage core Hidden town. Does anyone have some good inspo?
As someone 100% new to island designing, should I flatten my entire island? Or should I just experiment first?
My advice is that you pick a single area you want to work on/experiment with. The entrance, the secret beach, an orchard, a neighbor’s yard, the shops, etc. start small and work up from there. Your island’s natural terraforming could save time if you determine you want to try something with it before you flatten your island
does anyone have ideas for a cottagecore island?
Weather: Might be done with this heatwave now.
Me: Let's decorate for Halloween! 🤪
That looks sick
Can someone tell me a couple of island design?
i’m just gonna steel that idea…..
Finally got 3 stars on my island!
Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to make elevated flooring (for like an outdoor deck or stage risers)? I'm trying to make an outdoor concert/stage area shown in this picture
But I don't want it to be as high as the cliffs obviously
Try doing both. Just mix and match them
That’s the Moody Painting. It’s always genuine
I’m just not sure what’s better at the top and gotten
Bottom
I'm trying to make a spaceship/ alien ish room, any suggestions for a wallpaper that would work?
What’s that tall thing and the middle thing
Ah I posted wrong place
