Looked it up. It does look pretty similar haha.
Does anyone have entrance or campsite ideas? I don’t rly have a set theme to my island but I may go for cottage core
so uhh im trying to make my island have sort of a scenecore/neon rainbow vibe but I'm not rlly sure how 2 accomplish that
currently im terraforming resident services and here's what I got so far. what do u guys recommend I add to spice it up?
also ignore kk slider I'm tting 💀
I Made this cute waterfall, hope u like It 
My island is all about rainbows. Lots of brightly patterned rainbow paths, small and big rainbow flower patches, lots of floor lights in rainbow order, zodiac star fragments also end up being rainbow, Festivale items come in rainbow, various other lights (photo studio lights, neon signs, stadium lights, etc.) can all be rainbow-fied, nova lights/star clocks/crescent moons can be made rainbow, as can a lot of the frozen items, Dreamy items also often come in rainbow varieties. I have pics I can DM you if you're interested or if timezones allow you can come see my island some time (it's still a painstaking work in progress to get everything right so I haven't set up a Dream Address yet)
Any tips are needed plss I need to make my map not look so depressing
Looking for castle core designs pls
I need help it's been months in my island is still flat I said I was going to decorate it again but I don't know what to decorate I need help
Anything but mushroom forest theme
Rip, message was too many lines long. But some ideas;
The most popular theme is cottagecore, but;
Goblincore, Witchcore, Citycore, Tropicalcore, Horrorcore, Fairycore
I was thinking more tropical like green wet and a lot of overgrown plants
Transition area out of Fauna’s house to Nook’s Cranny.
How to make your own butterfly pond
Oooooooo this be perfect
My new entrance
Wow
HOT HOT HOT 


Omg this is gorgeous!! I really like the aesthetic and mood that the areas give off, do you by any chance have a dream address that I can visit? I would love to see more! 
You could add a very colorful background! Using simple panels as windows, those bunk beds in various colours, and layer layer layer! Idk if this is what u mean for ur theme but here’s some inspo!
Tyyy!! I’ll post more builds as they come! ❤️
Your island looks stunning🥹
What helps me is to Spread everything out, add more cliffs, and more waterscaping
OOOH I LOVE THAT
Thank you so much! Unfortunately I don’t have a DA at the moment
Ohh that’s fine, your island is beautiful though! 
Tysm <33
Plus it isn't the official thing bcz I just started 2 days ago, I'm planning to move things like the shops
damn would you terraform for people with a set amount of bells cuz SHEEEEESHH
That's one of the people with talent 👀
Need suggestions. This is the only plot of land I’ve yet to develop. It’s North of my gym and East of my cemetery. I initially thought of an open air thrift market but not sure where to begin
rainy days
I made a stargazing spot on my island
Does anyone have any beach decoration ideas for a kidcore themed island?
😭 tyyy!! I didn’t know that was a thing but I’m always down to help people!
You could do an fruit market, set up stalls and seating include that cute new cash register item, have some fruit trees! That would be super cute
Here’s some inspo! Last one would be super cute on the beach as a little ice cream shop
Thank you!!
Upgrades people upgrades
Soo I just finished flattening my island but I don’t know what to do
I wanna do a sunken & overgrown theme like these photos. Any tips?
i think the best thing to do is probably draw out the main water locations for your island, and then just get right to teraforming, building a 'cliff' all over the majority of your island so most of your build is up high & you look down at water areas like in that first img !
Tysm!!!!
So I finally got something done on my island. I’m trying to build a tropical all inclusive resort(island) I’m using that side of the beach as like a waiting area with an open buffet. I honestly love it

some of my favorite spots on my island
Ketchup ❤️🔥
Where did you get the wooden floorboard pattern? Im looking for one in brown
Bit late for suggestions, but a tiny area like that I'd just fill with plants, maybe deco weeds, and a lamp/ light giving item
Does this look good for a cyberpunk island
really pretty ! 
Oooo nice terraforming!!
Bit of a late reply but your suggestion inspired an idea in me. Because it's adjacent to my cemetery, I make the plot the ruins of an old home? Like the last remnant of a colonial past. The question is if I turned it into ruins, would an outline of a home do or should there be remnants of rooms and furniture?
Depends how much space you have I think
I'd personally search for broken wooden plank designs to put on the ground. Weeds and barbed wire fencing maybe? Around the house outline
I need advice, I just finished my entrance but now im just stuck. I don’t know what else to do now, I don’t know if i should plan it or just start building. What should I do?
you started making pathways?
Plan! Planning helps U find what u do and don’t like without the pain or placing and replacing
I got it from criteria search I’ll see if they have a brown one.
After looking at other islands . . . I might have to try harder
Any ideas on what i could build here? :)
This is what im going to put on my island, anything else you think I should add?
I need help for my island building ponds making it look good for visitors
A snack stand of some sort? Like an icecream or lemonade stand, cookie, cotton candy or popcorn stand, it rl adds a lot
Snapping turtles and ducks in the pond, maybe some custom lily pads and lotuses as well, makes the pond looks more pretty
Thank chus
Since you’re shops are on the beach, you could put them in that area and remove the incline (if needed). You could also put your campsite there too.
Thanks so much! This really helped me :)) 🖤
I have this awkward space on my island where I put a long road in, but I don’t really know what to put on either side of the the road. I originally had my villager houses on the sides of the road but I ended up moving them elsewhere. Any ideas on what to put on the sides?
My TV studio island Analog, with red carpet, Olivia's mews room and my own security hut for curt at the entrance
That looks awesome, good job
I have a long road on my island , it runs parallel to my beach and one side if buildings , library .. . Other side , beach side is my Museum , some beach apartments , a pizza place and Starbucks with a drive thru . But my island is a mix ( eclectic ) I wanted a farm too and a boat dock
Oo that’s cool! I love the Starbucks idea loll thx for the inspo! 
Sure ! Dm if you wanna see .. my gates open atm for Mitzi crafting 😉
Got it! 👍👍
Does the fat border or skinny border look better?
I'd go for the one on the right tbh
Thank you!
My white area is done and I totally enjoy walking around it. 👀🥰
I need some help thinking of a build for prince on my island. my island theme is kidcore I don't really have any design code spaces left so I would like an idea that doesn't need specific codes
Was thinking something like this for clowncore island w the center being the main "tent"
Luxurious, elegant perhaps...chic even
Poppy’s Bakery.
Yooooo where did you get the custom patterns?
Amazing island btw!
Uhm I found a screenshot in the design area here. Wait lemme look it up for you.
Ok thank you! C:
River mouth
looks nice but why you can put the bridge like that but it wasnt working
?
It's a diagonal bridge.
It's ez to place XD
😦 but it did not kork when i tried
Because you need the river to be able to support the bridge diagonally
Like.....needs to be symmetrical
yea may it was that because when i tried it did not had the river shovel
meet the band
If you’re still having trouble with it, there’s YouTubers that made tutorials on how to make a diagonal bridge.
no i now know how
i just dont have the money because im already building a new bridge
I just flattened my island, and now im stuck. I cant plan anything because im bad at planning, I wish I put my residences service further away. 
I need help filling in some spaces with some ideas for my island. I have 7 empty spots, dm if your able to help
Hello can you send the code for this design
Flooring design
idk if it looked good
Ripppp
Ooo Island showcase? Hol' up
I have two islands, my stuff can be found over on Pinterest/Twitter as well
WOW
Do you plan this, or just continuously improve on it over time?
Cute 
is that a joke its amazing
Nooo, i just randomly put trees and items without thinking
I just finished the exterior of my house 
Thank you!
👀 I got pinged but no message
Aaah xD
What did it say?
I planned it yeah, the pathway was a nightmare and I had to redo it twice I do believe. I've also improved it over time, it still isn't finished haha
Took months
About 500+ treasure island visits during the making as well to get all the things needed
Islands keep evolving yeah!
It does! Seeing the work put into it and watching it grow is the main reason why I got the game in the first place
I'm guessing the first one is pastel kidcore and the second is cottagecore?
Yes!
I love them both and couldn't choose and thus got two switches haha
"The remnants of the oldest settlement in St. Adam's history. Not much is known about the residence or its inhabitants other than it was a chateau style manor that suffered a devastating fire followed by a quarter of the property eroding into the river. All that remains is its outline, some furniture, a well, and the adjacent cemetery. The locals believe the grounds are haunted and rumors of ghost sitings have surprisingly brought in tourism. As a result "Chateau of the Unknown" has been marked by Nook, Inc. as a cultural heritage site."
That’s so pretty
Do y’all have any “unnatural” rock garden inspiration? By unnatural I mean rock gardens where the rocks are scattered out and not in a circle or line. I’m making a mossy rock garden area, and I want to do something different.
hello guys im new here! =3
Anyone got like idea how to do mix 3 themes on island or is more / my island right now is like old time cottage core theme , but I want to do kawaii goth theme mix in with old style cottage theme but I haven’t found anything that’s helps
Heyayaya
i made a small pumpkin patch 🎃🤍
Need some feedback. Should I do black or mossy pillars?
I really like the black ones
same
I LOVE AAAA
I think this needs something (but not a yacht), any ideas?
Rocks.
Put down some puddle designs maybe, then add rocks onto them
Hmm this isn't my pattern so there's only so much I can do. Maybe I'll make the rocks
My museum entrance!
I’m having problem designing island intro and the resident services since the resident service is right in front the airport. Any good ideas you all can help me with here?
What's the theme?
You could always mini terraform some levels to cover the RS. Let me find an example.
Kinda like this?
how would i give a roof to a medieval building side
is there any creative solutions for that
You could play around with perspective using some cliffs and items to imitate a roof. If I’m understanding correctly, this example might be helpful for you — looks like they’ve used some retro transportation stops for their roof
what is the item on the bottom called
The Storefront is a customizable houseware item in Animal Crossing: New Horizons introduced in the 2.0 Free Update. As an outdoor item, it will provide an additional 0.5 development points towards the island rating.
The Storefront can be obtained from either Nook's Cranny for 7,200 Bells or the Paradise Planning office for 6,500 Poki. The item...
and i was thinking of having the side facing east
and the roof bit facing toward the camera
something like this
You could find some custom designs for a Simple Panel item?
ah
last time i checked the simple panel is a rectangle
is there like a triangle version of that
Nothing triangle for a customisable panel. There's only the rectangle simple panel and smaller square one
If you've seen any pictures of builds in game that has something similar to what you want it might be helpful to see that
never seen any builds im just wondering if it's even possible
stalls could work i think
what is the windowed item called?
Definitely needs rock or something to cover up the edges of the lake or to make it look less pointed and straight
Anyone have a small space decoration that uses stacked bottle crates? I want to use them for a little space next to a villager house (left side, right side has shop sign and bike) but I'm not sure how to arrange it to look nice so some inspo would be great is any of yall used them in a design 🙂 thanks!
generally they look good when they're partially obscured
More items, wheat field would look nice, vine stool, more kero snacks etc. id also place trees on the side edge as well to make it it’s own space
Those star lamps from Celeste would be good too against the trees
I used them for a ramen shop over on my Japanese countryside themed island, and again for a fish market
yay new areas
Yeah I want to make one house a shop so I have a tree then to the right the stacked crate, then one single bottle crate centered between the tree and stacked crates, but I'm struggling to figure out what items I want on top and if I should put anything other than a flower in front of that setup :D. The house is close-ish to the beach so the fish items might be an option
You could use that bottle item. Decorative bottles, that’s what I put on top of my crates to make it seem like a shipment of new orders came in with cardboard boxes surrounding it
Oh true that would be good. I like the shipment vibe since the house will be a store. Thank you!
is there an item that's similar to the short simple panel except its miscellaneous
?
Do you mean like in height? Wooden Box I think
also with the ability to put custom designs
I mean you can add a custom sticker to the wooden box but for a fullcoverage custom design, I'm not sure. The the like neon shop sign (sorry idk the item name) could maybe work, otherwise, I'm not sure whatever would mainly show the design. A cube light is full coverage but not the right height since that's more like a log chair height
by neon shop sign you mean thsi
Forest, nature, mud paths, etc
No this one @tough pagoda
A new area I’m working on for my museum/Ables!
My shopping district is coming together :3 (there’s been changes since)
I need ideas of how to make it work designing a good entry and resident service building when they are that close tighter (the picture is just to show you how close they are not for design) thanks
Are you wanting to keep your nooks cranny where it is and do you have terraforming yet
Anyone down to grab a drink and a show? Pavé's Brewing Company is the most hoppin' venue on St. Adam's.
I am stumped on how to proceed with my island 😥
As long as the game has been out + a year break. The good news is that I believe my island is finally done done and now I just need some reviews and to make a dream code
does anyone have terraforming tips?
Tips for what, aesthetic purposes? Where to start building?
Cause, I like lots of curves and like, narrow streams
What theme are you doing? Your entrance could work for a citycore type of island. You could download a road code and use trees, flowers, bushes, fences to decorate. Since you don’t have plenty of space, it would be more on the simple side of things. If you don’t mind that. @jagged tulip
I have town hall right next to the airport too. I made a 'downtown' with the town hall, shops, and airport all next to each other
@jagged tulip
where to start.. i want like a cottage core city kinda like Stardew valley
currently planning my animal crossing island (this is what i made at school, end result might look different)
woah that looks cool
this is how i plan mine 😭😭
slay i love how it turned out tho
That turned out awesome!
thanks!! i usually alreayd have a good idea what i wanna do but i just wanna quickly sketch it out so i don’t forget it yk
Woah. We have the exact same layout. I need to find a design too.
Ok I added you we are officially friends now 😂
Alrighty
I redecorate perfect tidy organized my stuff
I just unlocked terraforming- should I clear off my island kinda or just wing it? Well I’d plan it but it might be too tedious clearing everything, idk
It dipends, for me it was helpful clear everything off first and than terraform, but I know others who modified what they had and it turned out great. I think that if you have already a plan is better to clear everything and restart but if you want to be inspired by what you already have is better to terraform what you already have
okay thanks for the tip, I will probably keep the layout somewhat similar but I will remove some things, like the built in 2nd layer which im not a fan of
Thoughts?
That looks so cool! Just a heads up though that villager houses take up a lot more space than you'd think (which I just learned the hard way from doing the same 🥲)
does anyone have ideas for a fairycore island?
You could have little magical towns across the whole island
Each one has its own story and customs
question
how much bells would you said i need to move the ten houses i havee and the shops so i can have a clear bukding area, including two payer houses
anyone has a guess it'd be apriceated
It's about 10k bells to move something, so you have ten houses, 100k for that, plus the Able Sisters and Nook Store, 120k. If the Museum is also there, 130k
so counting two player houses as well about 150k?
NOICE
If someone can DM me can I show u the path I chose and maybe I need some more paths or ideas?
Could anybody send me any ideas for a spooky/witchy nooks cranny build
I'm not a pro at all but this is my first time trying a forced perspective for my Arizona themed island and I'm so proud of it
I have some fairycore spots on my island and I really just made it very whimsical with flowers, light up furniture, cute little items and things like that. I also dropped star fragments of different colors on the floor for decoration! I hope that helps 
Can anyone help me with my island ? I’m planning to do a pink Japanese themed island with a garden and stuff like that
Mushrooms
That is so cool
does anyone have any inspo for a campsite? something cozy/cottage core theme
I’m also looking for inspo too
How do you guys decorate: From the back of your island to the front or from the front of your island to the back??
I’m wondering too because I haven’t even started on my island yet
Currently I have every building I can near the front, but I don't know if I should start in the back to make it flow or if starting in the front would be better
Yeah I have the exact same situation
And I still don’t know how to decorate my island / where to get stuff
I am not rushing or anything either. I just didn't want to keep putting everything up front if i will eventually move it lol
Oh same lol
I moreso decorate outwards from resident services.
Since mine is right near my entrance, I did the entrance and area around the services first, then branched outwards in different directions
Thank you
There is a website that helps you plan out your island layout (u probably know that). I usually plan out where all the buildings go. Then i start terraforming and placing roads and trees and then i decorate in sections. I usually start with the entrance and resident services, then houses and then everything else. But honestly i have never finished decorating my beach because i always have to plant flowers there.
I found these on pinterest. Maybe it helps?
thank you!!
How did they get so many items-
Ii think it's a lot of clutter, design codes, small items and plants :)
The pillows are all the same but different designs, the blankets are designs and they used a lot of plants
Ohhh so I don’t have to grind for my island then
I barely know how to get started with my own island
No you don't. You can get a lot of designs from able sisters (just talk to the quiet one everyday for like 2 weeks? After a few days she'llgive you custom designs). Also pinterest is your bestie for custom designs made by other creators. You can get items by cataloging them from other players as well. You can order them via nook shopping (is that name right?)
if you're stuck, pinterest is a great way to get ideas, and there are some acnh youtubers who make cute videos touring dream addresses or their own builds. i think there's also a site devoted to "plotting" out the terraforming on your island before you do it in-game, as well.
but don't get too overwhelmed! i know there was a lot of burnout back in 2020 when peoples islands weren't ""as good"" as the pinterest images or twitter threads. just do what makes you happy and go at your own pace
edit: lol the site to plot your island is in the pinned messages i'm silly
You can totally leave your island as it is terraforming wise. I think having a natural island is the easiest in the beginning. Citycore idlands or something similar requires a lot of items, desings, money and time. Try to collect a few materials and diys first and maybe try something low key at first?
I don’t know what to try first, I wanna make my island look nice and I tend to go big
terraforming can be a pain lol. june is right! the resource is just there if you need : )
Maybe settle for a colour palette and create a pinterest board where you collect ideas you like!
And you can watch speed builds. It's a nice activity and very helpful:)
So I should look up simple island speed builds?
if you want to or need help thinking of ideas it can be inspiring and informative
For example. Or natural island, cottagecore island, fairycore maybe too?
You can find a lot by browsing!
Yeah you’re right
I plan on doing fairycotr since it’s was my first idea when I first started the game

Here's an island tour to get started with.
https://youtu.be/R9NOenod2yQ
This is with terraforming but also very low key
Today we are touring a beautiful vintage island with tons of amazing builds and small inspiring spots! #acnh #animalcrossing #acnhislandtour

Oh my god those are all good ideas ! Thank you
I don’t know what to start with first lol
I'm sure you can do it! Just try out a few things.
Okay
okay thanks
My little shopping district 🙈
Any design ideas for an entrance with a very close plaza? 
you could build cliffs and a faux waterfall and step stones to jump through. to make it seem larger
could anyone help me design my island I'm trying to go for an abandoned, spooky theme (DMS OPEN)
post office
What kind of style are you going for?
That’s so cool
thank you! ❤️
Some ideas;
If it's abandoned, there's probably a lot of rust on things. Barbed wire and corrugated iron fences work well for that. Also candles, the atmosphere the light creates works wonders.
Maybe barrels and old metal containers would be scattered around, piles of leaves, etc
@still tundra saw this pin and immediately thought of a pink forestcore island 😊 thanks for the island idea
I need island ideas for an entrance i just made a layout for. Any suggestions? The theme is town/dark academia
Looking for feedback on my island ft 4 million bells
You could try in #player-services too
Dodo code
pool area wip! any ideas on what i can add?
maybe a post office?
here's a sort of mini plaza outside my shops
Maybe some of those palm tree lamps?
ooo good idea
Does anyone know of sites that let you plan out your island?
Pretty epic
Bro cyberpunk is giving me a brain freeze aaaa
Holy moly, first time looking at this chat and I’m impressed. How do you have this much motivation to make stuff like this
A little sunken pathway between areas
Looks good!
WAAAH THATS AWESOME
there’s a very useful website called happy island designer!! i can send the link but idk if links are allowed
but tips for planning small areas is to take a screenshot of said area, edit it by drawing rough plans (if u alreayd have an idea) i use instagram bc it’s got everything and then just tweak it as ur building
this is what my plan started as and this is how it turned out
I guess you can tell who my favorite villager is
haha
Need help with island design
Wanted to make my Island beautiful and cute
What can i put in here
A mixture of hardwood and cedar trees, flowers, and bushes. If you want to add items, then maybe add some mush items, log items, and/or more vine items. You can also add some moss items like the balloons or the stools.
What flowers should i use,
Another little transition area leading to a sunken neighborhood
Bob's yard, WIP
Maybe green mums, white windflowers and white cosmos.
Ooo tysm
I like it!!!!& the arcade machine omg
I LOVE THIS
TYSM !! ❤️
WOW YOUR ISLAND IS GORGEOUS
I LOVE THAT SO MUCH WHAT the colors are so ❤️
hello, i'm having trouble with decorating a short pier, does any1 have anything i can take inspo from?
Everyone building with multi- layered panels in here, that's amazing
I need the storefront catalogued so bad x_x
Hiii so I am working on a little arcade. I cannot decide between using the black walls with the retro floor or the white walls with any choice of the flooring.
Pleassseee help it’s been over an hour of going back and forth
1st one def
Add more red furniture tho
What could I add to this area in the middle? It seems a bit empty
A campfire
A bonfire or a campfire
Boxes and clutter like they need to be transported.
Thacked bags, wooden boxes, cardboard boxes, bottles etc....
that looks great so far!!
Thank youuu
Work in progress, finally got a general idea for my entrance! Any tips for improvement is appreciated as well! ^-^
Looks great so far! I would suggest to add some cedar trees if you want a more closed in look and/or some of the rock items you can craft have a moss option if you want to add more items. I did something kinda similar (in a rock half circle sense) let me find the pic
My natural entrance
Ooohh!! That actually looks rlly cool! Thanks for the tip!
The patchwork items from the new update look really good for home decor! Lots of trees, mushroom items, flowers (like reds, browns, whites), uhh a really good path always looks nice.
Does anyone else have middle eastern desertcore theme? Currently making one and is feeling defeated by the inevitable low island rating
Forced perspective lake, town, boating. The viewing area isn’t done yet but love how it’s turning out
What should I do with this area on the right? I want to do a little bookstore but the area is so small.
You could do a parking lot, you could place a bookstore but have it be more open, instead of having the shelves facing in have them face out, you could put additional seating with a nice scenery outlook behind as well
Alright. I'll see what I can do. I'm almost out of design qr spaces. If anything I could shrink my road a little
So my museum area is kinda empty. I've got a little park behind and on the right side of the building but the front looks kinda boring.
I'm trying to give my island a dark/brown color palette and I'm decorating it for autumn and Halloween !
Do you have any ideas how to make it look more interesting and less out of place?
@still tundra Apologies I don't have an image but what I did was make some seating on the edges facing the center in front of the museum and then did a cute 3x3 (give or take a .5 space) in the center. So what I used was a festivale garland with a lighted display stand (1 space) centered in front, creepy skeleton on top, pumpkin tower to the right, spooky lantern set in front (so the pumpkin is on the left), pumpkin lantern on that, and then a spooky scarecrow on the left. On non seasonal times, I do a pottery art display in the center
Hope that helps and the description is enough to give a mental picture!
Thanks! I'll try pitting a seating area and pumpkins^^ as well as maybe some art figures 🙂
I redesigned this stall shopping area on my island! What are your guys's thoughts? (This isn't the first time I have redone it and probably won't be the last because something looks off but I can't quite put my finger on it...)
Some photos of my citycore island that’s still a WIP
I like it! Could use some clutter though ^^
And that Citycore is amazing x_x
I just wanted to gather opinions on how my Nooks is looking rn?
thanks, the rest all has stuff on the floor so
no photos
i like it!! it gives me major animal crossing movie vibes
i built a victorian train station
That's a good idea! Thanks!
Also made a convenience store by the school 🏫 (to the right of it)
omg how did you get the plushies and the arcade machinessss
WOWOWO how did you do that
alot of trial and error 😂 😅 i also have a zen fence as the roof
but that look amazing tho
thank youuu i have a filter on it too
It's absolutely amazing!!
It looks like a cliff was built, then covered in simple panels, then an extra space was left for the fence on the top for a 'roof'
It's so cool
(Makes my town feel small xD)
little angry man 💪💕
that slope is a rlly cool idea
Can I see your map please
Hi guys, can I ask for your design idea on Azalea, Cesar and Lucha house? Would like to design their house but might need some idea... hehe.. or steal them.. 
My map is awful 😭
I still wanna seeee
it may have to wait Cus it’s 4am here and there’s none on my phone 🙈
my town hall is slightly to the right of my airport if that counts for anytgibg
At the shops are on the left side of the island
I take that back I found one on my phone from when I had a rough idea yday!! It’s changed a bit since Cus I’m still building but-
That’s sick affff
My@houses are in districts (apart from the one by the private beach)
and the two by the pond Cus they need moving
And the camp is now on the beach Cus I still can’t find a place for that
Where your camp is in this pic is where mine is
All the random squares are essentially trees 🌲 😂
I wanted to do a Hollywood hike and camp but it’s not big enough so the camps no longer there 😦
I have no idea on how to make this area better bro
Flooring, clutter and poles and trees!!
Thanks! Someone did a similar idea before the 2.0 update, so I thought I should give it a try since I now have more inclines to place
Just built this night club area with a forced perspective view of the lake.
anyone got any florist inspo?
A few shots of my niche little graveyard
How do y’all get your islands to look this good?
Tyty
Would be cool if you get to place photos of villagers or npcs that are removed or no longer in the game anymore
Time, a wide range of items and trial and error x)
It's been 2-3 months and I'm now only starting to reach the point where I'm semi- happy with my entrance area
Can anyone pls tell me your thoughts on my museum entrace?
I reallt don't know if i love it or hate it TwT
place things close together
Love it!
^ Also this.
A good general rule of thumb is that, if you're doing an area purely for aesthetics, it being hard to get around isn't necessarily a bad thing
That's what the Mario pipes are for, lol
As long as you like the outcome, you've succeeded.
I'd love to be on the level of some of the islands posted here, it's a little demoralising sometimes seeing all the awesome things that are possible, that I find it hard to do. So you're not the only one.
But yeah, it's your island and as long as you're satisfied with the outcome, it's good.
It’s not bad, could use a lil bit more furniture, maybe a small exhibition outside with seating areas, or you could go all out and do an entire dig site
Yeah that is such a cool idea. I'm just using it for my moved out villagers
That would completely ruin or destroy the idea of the overgrown museum area that i have.
The idea is to have a viewing area with a perspective in a overgrown asthetic
I think maybe using the Dino standee or some small fossils around would keep the wild overgrown look and enhance it as if there were still animals there
New entrance in the works
Oh
Well, i was never told that you were going for an overgrown look so my bad
Is my island's regional fast food chain up to Pollos standards?
Added some buildings to the shopping district.
Can you guess what they are?
THE PATH TO THE TRANSPORT STOP I LOVE
Looking for inspiration for a cottage core farm/ farmers market area!
Not too sure about where to go with this island design. It's just a rough sketch right now. But I feel like I should raise more of it to the second and third layers.. any advice?
It looks great!
I love it 
moved Molly to the boonies and she's thriving there. shes a country girl now
No worries, thank you for the ping! 
Hehe it is amazing
Ugh, this is so cute!! I love the layering of plants you can see on that bottom pic, it's set up really well
bro that slays ngl
beach area!
this school i made awhile ago is in a super awkward spot lol l, im thinking about moving it to the bottom image… but it still seems awkward because of the waterfal plus it’s uneven 🥲corners just have houses n stuff! any advice?? 
Thank you
People's island designs are so creative aaa
wow that is very detailed
this was my first design 😭😭
but i got to this so it’s pretty cool
redid that spot
My little beach decor!
Once again redid my entrance area.
It needs more castle walls I think ^^' But they're expensive
Need advice. Being a tourist town, my Island has 4 main beachfronts. One Private, Serena Beach (the all white furniture), one rental, Pascal Beach (the one with the tent), and two public, Wendall & Chip Beaches. My question is should I add any shops or store fronts to any of these and if I do, what would make sense?
Hmm..
I'd say, for the posher beaches, more high class stallfronts.
For the less posh ones, like a small bar or something
You can use villager houses to turn them into store fronts
theres supposed to be a tree behind the arch but here ya go
OO
pretty
That looks so good
i am new to this game and i am at 1 star island, i want to create a cute little forest area but i don't know how to start or where to start. does anyone have any tips or know of any good youtubers or something that explain this well. Ty for your time!
Start with a path of where you want it to go, then experiment with coloured furniture and placement from there
Thats how i decorate anyway
okay thank you!!
If you look up Kyuubi Crossing on YouTube, they have a TON of island walk throughs for inspiration. For forestry, i like to mix different sized trees.
It makes the area look filled in without looking busy, and gives you more opportunities to use furniture items well
oh awesome!!! ty for the recommendation! i need all the help i can get haha. can i do this if i dont have terraforming?
Absolutely. Once a tree gets to the height you want, plant a fruit directly behind it to stop it from growing anymore
A lot of island building requires terraforming but its definetely not necessary
Later this evening, if you're on, i can bring you some stuff to help you get started!
I can even open up my island for inspo if you'd like. I did a moderate amount of terraforming, but kept a lot of my original island features
ah ok perfect. i just need to get 3 star bc im only 1 star currently
oh my goodness if u dont ind that would be so helpful thank you!!
The best way to do that is just craft a bunch of items and place them down, and so many flowers everywhere
ahhhh ok i just have flowers in one area for real. i shall move them thank u
I just dm'd you!
Dont have to move them, just gotta have enough. However the furniture will have to be spread out
..I didn't know about this!?
It's a nifty trick, and i have a decent example on my island if you're wanting to visit later too!
I'd like to visit your island, yeah!
(reposted to here cause it's more to do with this channel) Question dose the rectangle on the right side look okay? Like Is it somewhat even where is it? It's gonna be a tree orchards with flower breeding around it
Looks good to me
I added a pet shop to my island 😎 Would another fence be better than the brick?
Maybe some lower fence would be good if you dont like the bricks but i think it looks just fine
Thank you! I originally had the blue iron fence cause a pool area was here but it felt too outdoorsy.
Does anyone know how to make this look more like a vintage beach shop. I feel like something is off but I’m not sure what. I’m trying to go for something like Liss the Lass’s beachy convenience stores (the freezer in front of the desk is going to be a retro ice cream machine I just don’t have it yet)
Ahhhh ok I see ty!
No way?!!
I like the brick fence!!
How can I fix this area?
I think it looks nice. Though, I would personally add flowers throughout just to help break things up a bit if that makes sense. Like, there wouldn’t be as many custom designs on the ground in one area. But yeah, I think it looks nice as is.
Hello Animal Crossing Fam! I need some help figuring out where I should move my home and some other buildings. who wants to help?

Please trade for island designing services in #player-services as this is not a place to trade.
Hi I need some help. Other than panels what do people use to look like walls outside?
The medieval side buildings, castle walls, storefronts, and wide display cases are ones I’ve seen the most since the update.
this looks incredible, can I have your dream address so I can take a closer look around?
Thank you! I haven’t got one yet as that’s what I’m working towards. It’ll be there soon though!
Growing for an overgrown theme
simple farm i did yesterday :3 
@spring sand this bit I’m just not happy with
This bit I like but that’s it 😂 @spring sand
I like the gas station but I think you should probably add some of these with a face cut out standee custom design or maybe another type of custom design.
Florist I feel like just needs more flowers around it.
I don't know about the restaurant.
It’s a train station 😅 in fairness the banners on the lamps aren’t that visible
I’m thinking I might move them around and have the gas station where the florist is so I can make the florist better and bigger
Yeah that sounds good!
That way the gas would also be closer to the gas station.
I just noticed that the gas was there lol.
How can I move my resident services? I’ve just flattened and started on my entrance - it’s way too close. Help 🙃
@ancient kernel you can’t move it, it stays on that spot
That’s not ideal
<@&494448231036747777>
Hello and welcome to my kingdom where I am the King 👑
Remake your island erase and start over and look for your ideal spot
Little outdoor movie theater I made today in my Island
any cool entrance design ideas? i’m stumped 🥴
that is my island entrance if it helps 
Do you have the custom design codes for it?
Custom design?
What is the custom designs in that pic?
which one
The train track and rest included in the photo
Mine are all searchable on the machine in marbles clothes shop
heres all the custom designs people i borrow from, go figure
Where’s the option for this?
https://youtu.be/QGaEt8TE0bw This is a nice tutorial on how to reset your island
Subscribe For More! In short this video is to help anyone on how to start a new game in animal crossing new horizons.
Will all of my progress go -fruits/diy/ villagers/ etc? I’ve been playing for ages. I’ve just gotten into terraforming recently
Yes, everything will be unfortunately reset and you would need to play through the beginning again
That would be the only way to move your Resident Services sadly
Is there a way to have two islands? It would be disheartening to see everything go.
Not unless you but another switch. If you would like to keep some items/diys/whatever you can use the servers middleman services! You can find that in #request-a-middleman🛎️🙋♀️ and the other middleman channel. You can hold one villager with that service, too
In the start screen press the minus sign before you press A for your game to start
Yea you may have to just have a friend hold your things in their island
Do people prefer to have there villagers close together or separated on there island?
For me, it depends on what theme I’m doing. If I’m doing a citycore island, I don’t mind having my villager houses next to one another. For natural islands, having them separated seems to be best. Also, some people want their villagers to wonder around different parts of their island. If you don’t scatter them out then they’ll just stay in one area I believe.
@dark urchin thank you so much, I wanna go more natural for Halloween.
No problem.
Hi guys.. I don't know if this is the correct channel to ask, but can you guys give me some ideas how to decorate this small area on the clifftop? I want it to be a place for villagers or me to watch over the sky or the sea but I don't know what to decorate around it.. Should I just put trees all over? No library/picnic/flower garden though because I already had them on my island..
What about a little observatory area
Like for star gazing
😅 um.. I think I already had them.. you see just a lil bit at the right, the corner of my picnic area.. It is also an observatory area.. But maybe I can separate them..
Like with telescopes and things?
Just a telescope though..
You could do telescopes and the moon
Maybe a rocket
Add in some custom pathing
Could also just add a little pond and extend the picnic area
Yeah you are right! It will be so cute! But maybe not the picnic area as my picnic area is already large enough.. Lol.. Thanks!
This is so good omg
BRO HOW DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH ROOM
lol i don't!!! im actually redoing this bit atm cus im not happy with it 😂
Can I dm!!
sure!
Do a small outdoor movie theater like I did
thoughts on this river? constructive criticism is very appreciated but keep in mind that i haven’t started actually decorating around it
i think it looks super lovely! ♥
thank you!
no prob 
i think you did a job well done! It looks very natural
thanks!!
it is a small area, you could even do a picnic with a blanket, bicycles, and stuff like that...
A mini autumnal residential area for Chevre, Molly and Fauna
That looks beautiful
Thank you!
RepostDoes anyone know how to make this look more like a vintage beach shop. I feel like something is off but I’m not sure what. I’m trying to go for something like Liss the Lass’s beachy convenience stores (the freezer in front of the desk is going to be a retro ice cream machine I just don’t have it yet)
Maybe some stalls with beachy drinks or smth
Tips for improvements?
it looks pretty already! but if you want to add more things, maybe add a music box and more food items
Thank youu
nice village
I’m not sure if this is the chat I’m allowed to use, but does anyone know of any path codes or items that are sports related?
I love it! I have Molly in my island as well and I gave her a place of her own as well 💛
You can try under #path-codes
Ty
You’re very welcome 😉
the two main look out areas of my spain ib island bellnita! 💕🫶🏼 showcasing npc builds designed by me! 
Hi ! Looking for advice on what to use for counters here. Right now I’m using a wide display stand on the below level but you can’t place things on top of that. Is there anything that will give a similar height and can have things on top ? I’m short on space here so I don’t want to have to put anything on the main level
Thank you so much for any help
u guys make designing island look easy but when I try-- I overthink things 💀 😭
I’m the same way. It’s taken a lot for me to talk my self out of some things
@mossy sedge I would but I already had a mini theatre with a small space beside it as a ticket and popcorn stalls.. I also have an orchard, a campsite area, a mini library, a mini gym, a picnic area, a flower garden, a plaza, a park, a soccer field, a basketball area, a mini greenhouse space, and an entertainment centre.. You can see that I was struggling to think of a design idea for this space.. Lol... But I think I will use @barren oak idea to put a pond there and very small observatory area there.. Just have to think how to design them cutely..
Funny that sounds a little like my island - I went international and American. I have an Italian village with ruins. We have Jamaica, Egyptian, France, Japan (complete with nuclear fallout and Godzilla, a flower shop, tailor, library, Starbucks with outdoor seating, old time soda fountain/pharmacy, farm market, carpenter/custom builder, picnic area and of course the campsite. I just started taking down the wedding theme for halloween. I usually reserve the "fly over" area for holiday decorating...
Omg yes! But I only has interest on Japanese theme and the rest are regular theme that I might whispered stole ideas from pinterest.. You know that I got the custom island divided to three mini island.. I dedicated the whole right mini island for my japanese homestay.. And I do have an area beside the resident building to put the monthly holiday decorating! I am happy that I am not the only one to have an island like this.. Because usually I saw creative people with awesome one theme island.. And I thought man my island is too cluttered with so many themes.. Lol... Now I read your design ideas, I might steal some.. Because I do have awkward small space here and there to fill up.. Esp the ruins..
😍
I like multi-themes as opposed to the same theme throughout the whole island. I gave all my residents roles (I even gave the outfits to match but that never lasts 🙂 ) They are all cats and Raymond is my librarian and so on - they each have a love interest and photo in their house... I have 2 resident houses that are part of the wealthy Japanese area. One is more traditional but the other more modern with an elaborate Japanese bath. I just posted my new Sally costume to get me in the mood for decorating for Halloween... It has been expensive! It took a bunch of volcanoes and over 60 termite mounds to make the Italian Village and I have over 100 lucky cats for a LC scavenger hunt - I call this my billion dollar island! If you ever want to visit or I can dig out my DA, I think it's still set to Easter though. I haven't played all summer, just starting back up again... I thought about bringing Lucky back and making a haunted mansion...
don’t know how to make this look better LOLLLL i was thinking maybe bring these two waterfalls a bit inward so it doesn’t look so square but i wanna keep that water kind of opened too so i’d only bring it in like one or two “blocks” if that makes sense or maybe i could put a model in the middle or maybe do a double waterfall moment like on top of the two in the corner to add texture kinda?? idk y’all tell me 🤣😭
That looks pretty decent already, but maybe a pop of colour will improve it
Wow you even have stories for your villagers..
it is true though that villagers will never wear the outfits we want them to wear.. haha.. I want to visit your island, though!
do you need any DIYs? I just dropped a bunch at the airport and was going to post come and get 'em!
I do need a few diys.. I'll come look.. But maybe not now though..haha.. A bit busy.. It's an open event, right?
I actually think I am going to wait until tomorrow, it took a while to undecorate from the wedding 🙂 and it's late here... Here is an image of the Italian village in the winter, when I think it looks best...
Awesome! I will keep a lookout for that!
Any ideas what i could do with this area? Its too small for a villager house plus its very close to my plaza so I'm not sure how to approach it! Suggestions are appreciated <3
maybe a little “shop” area with stalls i have like a smoothie shop and just made smoothies w recipes and stuff and put them on a stall w a custom design for the stall that had fruit on it lol i’d put a dirt path and stuff to lead the way to the different stall/shops
edit i also have a stall for like veggies and stuff i have a brown bag of veggies furniture that i put on it lol & a “magic” stall w a crystal ball
Very cute idea!! Thank you sm :))
That idea of small houses were rlly nice
Thanks, I'll be on later tonight. If you want to try to catch up then...
Thank you!
That is a great spot, you could make a little picnic area with blanket and accessories, a little farm stand (I used a house in mine but you don't have too).
Another idea could be a cozy little cafe - I put 2 outdoor seating areas with my Starbucks, one is more cozy than the other...
Same-
hello i just got terraforming and my island looks. a mess so can someone help me creat a layout pls💀also don’t mind the name a made it 2 1/2 years ago. but heres my map and insp. https://youtu.be/ty_alafCFmY

I've recently flattened my island, this are my progress so far. (the theme is a medieval/fantasy but I'm too poor to build the castle for the moment TwT)
Just a piece of advice, terraforming at first can be a little intimidating and it will definitely take some time for an individual to learn. So just take it easy and start small. Try to come up with an island theme. Is there something specific that you absolutely love and would like it to be the theme of your island? As you mentioned, your inspiration is from Kyuubi Crossing. Why not pick out a small area in your island and start there? Say for example, you can start with your airport entrance. And then just work your way to the areas surrounding it.
U posted your Valorant montage in the wrong channel 💀
Hi everyone. I am trying to create the bridge over the pond/river as shown in the green and brown pinterest image, but when I try to recreate it on my island (the purple flower garden image) it says I can't place the bridge over the pond I built. Does anyone know how I can do this?
.t bridges
There's no land under that bridge, I think
need more water
anyone have fairycoree jnspo??
ty for the advice 💟
I made a cute little shop/resting area ~
Hi >.<
Does anyone have gyroid farms on their island or a Dino park ? I just had the idea of where I could place one on my island but I would love to see some inspo 🥰
Im finally happy with the gas station and pop up market - currently a florist! I’m a citycore island 🏝 🥰
Oh wow
Dang
Any criticism? I was thinking maybe I could change the sewing kit later
I would use some more colours from the flowers so like the stand behind the sewing machine could be pink or yellow to give it that pop. Just there’s lots of green and kind of all merges or blends together yknow
Thank you!
Hope it helps!
Oh wow-
whats wrong?
Nothing! I meant it as in, damn that's good
I added some more pink, but maybe a pink kimono would be too much ?
Thank you !
I did this beach build today
I plan on extending it to the right all the way to the dock
Very nice!
Looks much better!!
Wooow!!!
Thx
First attempt at a building. Not properly decorated yet but, Any suggestions?
Oh wow that’s so cool!
I like that you added some complementary colors. Green - red.
wow
Ty ^^
TY?
*Thank you
What can i add to my entrance?
Flowers, benches/ seating, bushes, fences...
What kind of flowers could i add?
My theme is like a mix between farm and fall
Going for more like abandoned and fall
cosmos fits great
A retro transportation stop would look good there if you are going for an abandoned look
yesssss
Tysm!!
Sign posts, leaf piles and white mums ^^
Also maybe some street lamps?
I want to make an island similar to this but I'm not sure of the theme. https://mobile.twitter.com/lounoroom/status/1569441900922552321
Hi! Is it ok to ask for advice on decorating islands here, or is the channel just for sharing your work?
So for those of y’all who know Disneyland what can I put here? I already have an autotopia and Star Wars area. I also don’t mind taking down the Nemo area.
(Check pinned messages)
Hmm..
Princess area?
Using Sanrio items? We have a giant vine, maybe jack and the beanstalk?
Witchy town square is coming along quite well now ^^
Just need to move Nooks so I can really get started on it.
I did something similar! I made an old fashioned soda fountain/pharmacy (think Mayberry). It looks better at night though because there are a lot of lighting elements there...
Another fun thing is to have hidden elements. On every inch of my island are lucky cats (more than 100) no one has been able to find them all but you can see 2 of them in this picture if you look closely!
it's called a covered counter
GOOD JOB!!! I am impressed!!!
\o/
Making a mossy grove area! any suggestions on items to use?
Mossy garden rock!
Maybe glowing moss boulder too? glowing moss pond if you have it?
Ooo. I don't have the boulder but I do have the pound and mossy garden rock!
I've got the DIY! It's quite late for me here, but if you bring the glowing moss for materials I could craft a couple for you? Need sleep first though x)
the cave is really cool, it glows at night
giant vine and ruined items too...
Ooo I've been wanting to use those!
I do agree though you have to get the glowing moss pond it is awesome!
I have it ! I made a lil area for it ^^
I was going to suggest the glowing moss weeds too but you have that under control!
Moss it the best item they've added to the game besides mushroom stuff, which I also wanna add
I agree, I love the mushroom items too and now that fall and halloween are coming I will be adding those items to my existing design...
Oooo that's gonna be cool! If there's any mushroom diy you want to use but don't have I can make some for you. I have most If not all the diys
Oh thank you but I have been playing for a while now and pretty much have everything in the game except for some recipes...
Oh that's great! Hope you get them all ^^
Still a few spaces to fill, but I really like my resident services area. Any suggestions on what I could add?
Can anyone help me decide what to put here
Wowow I’m in love
hello, i need some ideas for my island and id like to see your maps, especially those who have built a village. thank you!! ♥
Any tips on how to fill this tiny area? I have no idea
Rocks? Log stakes?
hmm maybe
hey i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for a tropical island (thats what im going for with my island)
How can i properly decorate these areas? They feel very empty, i need ways to make fencing better, maybe mixing trees with the fencing or something. Any advice?
Custom designs underneath them?
That's a very narrow path, not much room for decoration 🤔
you can alternate the fencing with hedges maybe?
Oh no i dont mean the path inbetween, i meant the villagers’ gardens.
That’s actually a good idea, could fix how i dont like some fences’ corners look
looking for people to absolutely ROAST the crap out of my island with criticisms. I am very bored but have no idea what to improve on my island 😆 so ideas are very welcome! (my island is full so that's why I need opinions on what to destroy)
am not home right now but will be in 1 hour
Exterior?
Looking amazing though!
Thank you
Tried to ease my way back into island designing haha
That's amazing!
Thank you! I feel like I chose a basic theme 😂 but it’s my first island
Are you going cottagecore?
I think so, cottage/autumn core !
Ooooh autumn's amazing
I love autumn on my island so that’s why I think it might be autumn core hahahaha
Autumn has the best tree colours
Right! Cherry blossom trees are a close second
Any good custom codes to cover green grass spaces
Oooh.
I've only been playing about 4 months so far, so I haven't seen the spring ones yet
Personally, I'd just cover that with the square tiles path you've got already
what code did you use for the street its so so pretty :o
Ohh my GOOOOD you’ll be AMAZED!! And when the trees change color tooo omggg
If you need anything catalogue or fruit wise or bells, lmk !
I LOVE this !!!
❤️ Appreciate it
👀 I'm loking forward to it
I used Collin crossing codes I can send you the MA if you want
yes pls c.c
ahhh i missed this but it's sooo nice!! do u have the code for the door/window pattern and the apartments? i wanted a lil store and this would fit amazinf. new to citycore so it's been super fun building it up
you've done sooo well w it
re-did the area around nooks and ables on my greek island mykonook and wanted to showcase the results! 💕
also added a few more details on the bridge behind both shops with a view at the greek buildings + sailing boats in the distance and the “bank of nook” bank! 
Wow! This is amazing. It looks so real. Awesome job!
This is amazing!
Im not sure what to do with this space...reply or dm to me if you have any ideas 🤔
Market place maybe?
How did you get a car? What the heck I’ve never seen it
That’s rly cool
Nooks cranny has them sometimes and through happy home paradise
Very cool! 🙂 do you get to drive it or is it just decoration
That would be cool if we could drive it lol but it’s just decoration
can i ask questions about island design here?
Hear me out, it's right behind resident services so you could do a really big park with flowers and a fountain!
and it's close to your houses and your villagers houses as well : )
i have a question. so im dividing my island into four equal squares. one will be for halloween and one for like a space theme. what should the other two be?
If you're going for complete opposites, ocean/nautical theme and possibly christmas theme
That actually sounds like a great idea because i was gonna do a Japanese market place but thats waaay too difficult for me, thanks for the suggestion uwu
You're welcome! Maybe add some amusement park items too even
Making a mini Japanese themed castle and discovered a way to make those mini Torii ⛩
They’re all searchable! If you search windows or flats or office etc they should all come up on the machine
Any ideas of how to fill this area in between the plaza and the airport wait area?
maybe a picnic spot, mini cafe, or vending machine area!
I've already got the latter 2 on my island so picnic area it is! Thanks!
Maybe like a splash zone or playground on the other side?
Splash zone? What's that?
My brain is mush right now lol. It doesn't exist yet 😅
You could always make a little concert stage
I think an outdoor meeting/dining area would be good as well, I would do a picnic area but it's already next to the park area
Ahhh thank you so much
Does anyone have autumn island designs that they can share?
I don’t have any but when I’m decorating I usually take halloween decorations and turn them backwards so it’s only pumpkins showing
any tips how to use ideas i find on pinterest
i give up so easily :/
i need advice on what to put on the hill behind merengue’s house, not sure whether to leave the gazebo up there or just plant cedar trees instead like the rest of the area so it’s a foresty vibe
Before and after for my rock garden!
ooo very unique. I like how it could also be easily customized for a move seasonal look too!
I used to have this on my island
can I get some advice on which road looks better? >.>
i like the one to the right!
oop i mean left
the texture on the right is a bit harsh on the eyes, a simple flat color is better imo
That looks really good, but it’s no longer a rock garden, it’s supposed to be a garden of rocks, so the rocks should stand out, but you’ve covered them up with statues and pillars, i had to really focus to spot the rocks maybe expand it a lil bit more? That way the rocks would stand out more
pics from parts of my island i rlly like ^_^
Field
omigawsh so cute
Ooh I like it! Kinda like a corn maze!!
looks so cute, i love the pillars and statues it looks so scenicc 
Love the forestry idea! Trees for sure!
Me too
Right
Thanks @brazen lake I’ll do that (:
Love the little round bricks on the ground and the tops of the buildings looking like little castles!!
(ignore marcie lol) any ideas for how to fill up the small bit of space here? the pond next to it is going to be stars/moon themed so im thinking of a stargazing area but im not sure
i would go with a stargazing area, maybe you can use the zodiac items and the moon ones
I love this soooooo much 😮
what item is this?
that’s the fortune cookie cart! you can only get it if you have animal crossing pocket camp on your phone
Does anyone have a standard size they usually make yards?
What about a lil starry picnic area?
Some of my favorite areas of my island
that looks SO GOOD
Thank you so much! And great pfp 🔪 🍉
No problem! i love the custom designs you used
also ur pfp is great as well :)
I actually just found that dirt path today and it's so pretty. I swapped the dirt/brick path in the other photos out for it. The Soju bottles are my favorite though
Redoing my Left 4 Dead island in 2.0 update items!
it is super pretty it fits perfectly with everything else! I love the soju bottles as well, i’ve been ordering so much of them since they are perfect for my island :)
omg there so much detail I absolutely love it
how long did it take you decorate all of that?
A few hours 🤣 I started yesterday! I was just very inspired 🙂 citycore is my favourite
I love the first pic soooo much’
oml my hands would die lmao! citycore is also my theme for my island! I cannot get over the detail tho 😭 SO GOOD
A LEFT 4 DEAD ISLAND?! I love this so so much
And thank you! ☺ I just finished up that area
I’m looking for island design ideas for a music themed island! I’m new to Animal Crossing, so designing is not my strong suit.
👀 Left 4 dead island sounds so awesome
Also, is the corrugated metal on the fences a custom design or an item?
agh sorry for bad quality but any ideas on what could probably go here?
i have a lot of spaces like this and what i like to call island-block, so i’m quite stumped of what to do nowadays
(this would be next to all of my villager houses, and the campsite btw)
It is one of the new fences from 2.0 update - i believe it’s called corrugated metal fence … or corrugated iron fence
Idk if this is what you mean but this is my warped tour festival island! I built a bunch of stages, merch tent, meet and greet etc
Making a castle area! Any recommendations on what path to use? The brick path should be a no brainer but i think it might make everything look too similar. I also want to plant some flowers around.
Help haha, What do I do with this area? I'm lacking inspiration
I’d set up a little garden entrance, with iron benches and a fountain in the middle. Maybe some street lamps and hedges as well. Here’s an image i found for reference (not mine) https://pin.it/KbmSkX4
That looks so good ty!
Result✨️
OMG THATS SO CUTE
o-oh 😟 /j
Nice! By chance, do you remember the pentagram code? I would love to use it!
@woven drift might know !!
any one have any tropical idea designs , haven’t played in awhile and my island is HORRIBLE!!
ooo okay !!
My newly built rock & fossil gardens!! I tried to make them simple but cute, they're also fully functional! 
So it’s like a fossil dig site?
Yeah! I put down transparent designs around the rest of my island where there was empty spots so all the fossils spawn there everyday now
Smart, but that process’d be so tedious
It wasnt too bad since most of my island was already done lol, another plus side is no more weeds so the process was worth it
I just looked up pentagram in the design search. There is a ton of options
Groovy.
Thanks!
this is so cute
Nice👍
Ash vs evil dead? Also is your whole island scary themed if so thats amazing
You can do a hula show!
I'm excited to be starting to add more themes to my island 😁
I'm thinking about making an arcade/kitchen/ maybe pizzeria? All I know is that I've been in a rut with designing around my island while still keeping the feel of my island already! 😅
omg that is so smart!!
Anyone have ideas on Japan theme islands mainly the front entrance for now?
Hey is there any designs for a natural island using the in game dirt path
your sooo livey
My island is tropical. Hope this helps! 
tysm!
Help! Custom design folks... I am trying to create a loading zone in my carpark, the only problem I am having is that when I put it all together the diagonal lines don't match up... They are drawn correctly but the game doesn't like it.
Is there a way to fix this?
I tried using the spare beach to install a power grid. Given the limited options does it look okay or nah?
Bro... I didn't even get that far :{
super cool
Filled a little corner that was sitting empty!
my whole island isnt but I make little recreations. The horror ones ive done so far are Evil Dead, Hellraiser, Shaun of the Dead, The Shining, American Psycho, Jurassic Park, Silence of the Lambs, Dexter, The Lost Boys, and Se7en
any ideas on how I could improve this marketplace?
That’s sucha good use of the shell bed
What is it themed after? Looks like a mix of cottagecore and citycore, or it doesn’t have a set theme?
yeah I’d say a mix of those two
and kinda run down vibes
If so i’d say the ground needs more textures, like more rubble on the ground, more cracks with vines and grass sprouting out, giving it a more run down and overgrown look
tyy
What should I put here? It's between my entrance and Res. Services. I'm going for an overgrown forestcore theme
Can someone help me furnish my island, I want to get to 5 stars but suck at decorating, I’ll pay bells or a lot of nmt or whatever else I can get you that you want
my new entrance area! i'm going for a fusion between tropical city and japanese beach town
Whipped up this rock/money tree garden ☺
I need some help designing Doc's archeology dig site. I feel like it's missing something. I can't expand right and at most I can expand left one tile. I don't love the straight dropoff to the roses.
maybe some custom design stone patterns for the ground? some buckets as well
Add some tall garden rocks, garden rocks, bulldozers and shovels around!
I love that idea!
Can anyone help with ideas for some small areas on my island that need to be decorated. Dm me if you can help I'll send pics
Been trying to make use of all the bamboo DIY’s. Created a little retreat for my visitors :)
Any ideas of what to put in the centre of each of these? I was gonna use valiant statues but theyre too large, I need something that's 1x1
This leads from the airport to the plaza btw
You could put Beautiful statues on them
Considering it hasn't covered its chest idk if that's a good idea
How about warrior statues?
Yeah that could work, u got a pair by chance?
good map design I made for my tropical island yes or no 
This is rlly nice 😊
New Sunken path 🍃🌲🌳

Museum entrance updated
Yes it’s a custom design

Ahahaa tyyyy!!

How many trees are too many trees ?
I LOVE IT 
Just enough trees, i think it looks good now
Here ya go!
Trying to think of a way to fill in this empty space between castle walls. I tried using pergola's to imitate a roof but there were gaps left over. Any suggestions please? :<
Maybe a fountain surrounded by bushes and flowers? Like a mini court yard of sorts.
Or a statue in the middle of the 4 windows in the back and surround that by bushes and flowers. Maybe a warrior statue?
My house and the surrounding area, It's not perfect, but my island is forever a work in progress, also does anyone have suggestions on what I could put behind resident services?
Hi! my island has some strong and weak portions to it. I need help! I really dislike the lack of cliffs in the front half of my island and wanted to incorporate more to the left side where the houses are specifically. I also hate the back boardwalk. Open to all suggestions!
whats the little dark path called
No idea.
I have it for a long ass time
that’s alright thx anyway
new sunken waterfall area!
i have the code! just a sec
MA-6647-9230-4716

Anyone have Pastel Kidcore Inspo?
A handcart or two would work well!
Community garden or a public thing. Maybe a playground or a bus stop (doesnt have to be functional)
I made a sunken fairy pit on my island, im in love❤️
I need help!! I want to do a big wheat field in front of my farmhouse but i cant decide what color to pick 
do we think this looks better? decided to go more city than rural in this area
divide into small sections with bookshelves or pillars or anything and place practical things like a stone kitchen, DIY, storage
Could I get some opinions/advice on my storefronts? I was trying to make some apartments and shops but I'm not sure I like how it turned out
Trying to make some sort of flower garden for a shop. It’s supposed to be forest/ cottage core. If you have or know of any good inspo images please lmk!

Anyone got ideas for a cute autumnal coffee shop?
Made my makeshift shrine. Still needs clean up flowers but it's as best I can do with what's available in-game
can someone help me place the museum in a way I can make it look good? I want it further at the road, a café area next to it and make everything pumpkin themed
Sorry for the late reply. I have two warrior statues (genuine) in storage. DM me if you want them.
maybe an orchard full of the different fruit trees
Thank u :)) , Great idea!
Water treatment plant
I think you're very close to what you're trying to achieve, with a little attention to detail it'll be perfect!
Update
How do u make the paths and change stuff around and remove water
You have to get 3 stars and unlock terraforming
@scenic aurora ok thank u
can you change the look of your villagers houses
cus they makin my island ugly
i basically just trapped all of them on a seperate hill
You can do that once you unlock it from the happy home paradise DLC
You have to design 30 houses I think
Does anyone have cute ideas for a pumpkin patch?

You could maybe find a tri force pattern? Or try and design a fairy fountain
I already have a fairy fountain

You can look up a video on YouTube. I think Lex Play has made a video or two on orchards.
Thoughts? Feel like something’s not right. Maybe I should replace some of the coconut trees with Bamboo?
