If you don't mind me asking then what custom designs did you use for the water, things in it, and the dock? I wanna do something similar but I haven't found anything so far.

I have finally gotten around to giving this one a lil yard. Nothing fancy and limited room. Need to replace that shelf there with something lower, though. I'd never used hedges before and convinced myself they'd be taller

So looking at some beginner level terraforming ideas. I've been playing since 2020 but just found out the potential my island could have. Maybe around my museum or house? We could be buddies and trade! I'm restarting my island at the moment. Have the main building already up though

what are those tombs called? i love this

i was about to build my own cemetery so this is good inspo

A mostly finished Double Decker restaurant in my work in progress island. I plan on adding more decorations and overall atmosphere to it

I was wondering is someone could help me out. I want my island to still look a bit isolated, but I also want it to feel like small town USA if that makes sense. Any ideas?

Very basic island layout design.
Brown will b where the museum goes, im gonna make it look like an ancient temple.
Grey will b an old port town (will include Nook's Cranny and some day Coco's house)
Tan will be an ancient possibly japanese style village (Shino will live there and Able Sisters will be there)
Dark Blue is gonna look like an alien landing site (Roswell will live there)
Thats what i hav planned so far

#

How can I improve the entrance to my island? The theme is "orangecore" basically dedicated to the color orange

median quest

plain aurora
#

i think definitely benches or some interactable furniture to give it a more plaza-esque feel would be really good

#

also more trees and foliage :) orange flower variants of some shrubs would be really nice in front of hardwood trees

median quest

#

I’m not too fond of this waterscaping. Any suggestions/tips?

#

Actually I might scrap it because the bridge I was trying to connect to isn’t really necessary

#

But waterscaping tips would still be appreciated

VERY IMPORTANT: ARE YOU PROTECTING YOUR ISLAND FROM BANDITS?

Please note that as bandit attacks have been increasing as of late, it is recommended that all cities surround themselves with rivers (moats) and utilize fences and walls to protect cities and castles. Placing your castle on or behind two levels of cliffs can also help fend off marauders. Please refer to the image below for an example of proper defense measures. Good luck out there, everyone, and stay safe!

(The island in the image is not mine; it looks like the island name is “Poland”)

I think this goes here. Anyway, I need help. The island’s terraforming is basically done, but I’m not sure where in the resident services side of the river to put the shops and last two houses. I wanna add a plot of dirt for a gyroid farm somewhere too.

i'm going for a reclaimed ruins/witchy vibe on my island & i am trying to think of what flowers pair well with moss, white cosmos, lily of the valley, & gold roses. i want a black flower but i am unsure of what! i would love to hear thoughts about any flower or color idea!

Maybe black tulip or lily would look nice! I'm also a big fan of green mums to add a little extra foliage

Hi

#

So I just started two parts of my island which I’m rebuilding from the ground up

#

The entrance and this beach area in the southwest

#

Completely forgot I have to take pictures wait a sec

#

Alright

#

These are literally the only two developed areas on the island lol

#

I feel like they already look pretty good but they’re also kinda bare, the entrance just has bushes and flowers and the beach just has palm trees and random furniture

#

What should I do

final sierra
#

You could try making the path smaller and placing more coconut trees at the entrance maybe and maybe some yellow flowers and furniture (cactus , plain arch party lights…) on the beach side c:

Absolutely, loads of people don’t have themed islands, it’s down to personal preference

Updated island layout, just need to find places for the two houses on the low-middle beach, put them there temporarily so they’ll be out of the way, gonna work on adding a forest path to the large low area on the left, as well as a zen garden near the house above mine, plus a farm just above that I think
Still need to find a place to put a stone garden too

So my island has a bit of lore.

The setting takes place in an abandoned national park after the world fell into ruin because of a disease known as Hagworm disease and it’s what causes fish and humanoid creatures to mutate into horrible, disgusting beasts.

Resident Services is located in a small town in the area called Windburrow (still a W.I.P)

#

FoxTrott Valley National Park was once a thriving wildlife sanctuary in charge of protecting and preserving the natural habitats of all creatures during the time before the fallout.

However, due to people rapidly contracting Hagworm disease through drinking water, the disease spread like wildfire and the world fell into chaos

I'm not sure what to do for the blue section of my island

Each color section has a different theme

#

But they're all tied together by being a bit natural

The sections are:

Pink: spring core
Red: kid core
Orange: farm core
Yellow: tropical
Green: east Asian
Blue: idk
Purple: a more specific variation of natural (there aren't a lot of purple items)
Black: witch core
White: town core

I just worry forest or cottage core would be too same-y since the whole island is natural. I was thinking maybe I could use a lot of the mush items and make it mush core? But only the mush lamps and large mushroom platforms are blue

#

It can have other colors too, but I'd like it to be mostly blue items

#

Preferably I'd like the other colors to just be neutral colors, like greys and browns

I'll show the section of my island and the other sections when I finish placing the flowers in the yellow and red sections just now

Yeah that could be good. I'll try to see if I can come up with other ideas too. I just don't want to use the same items over and over

#

Certain items are fine to reuse like wheat fields, rocks, ect but for actual furniture and bigger decor like tree items, vine items, ect I want it to be different

#

I feel like with my past islands, even though I used different items, they were all similar colors because the entire island was themed. And it'd get boring walking around

I love SZA and this album! I think the TV with VCR, Fax Machine, and Desktop computer could be good for this. And maybe a Typewriter, to stand in for the keyboards? I think the tricky part is giving them the lopsided / cast-aside look that this album cover has — maybe stack some of the items on boxes / shelves, and place other items in front of the boxes / shelves, to give the illusion of a scattered stack.

i’m guessing a roundabout could be a 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 square , making sure the corners are the rounded parts

#

4x4 square would probably be better, if you have a 2x2 road

You should watch island tours and you can take inspiration from them or even from Pinterest for ideas I always use them for references

I turned the museum into the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center where they test the possibilities of developing a cure for Hagworm disease (apart of the lore)

[Hagworm disease is an illness that causes abnormal mutation to anything that drinks or absorbs water. That means plants, animals and humanoids are all capable of being infected and turning into mutated monsters]

#

Unfortunately Mr. Hammy had to be a test subject

I'll attach an example of a zen/shrine/villager yard I did. I honestly find just looking at other builds and seeing how some items can be utilized helps a lot, and remember to go to Cyrus to customize colors! It really helps a lot if you're find things aren't jiving. As for custom designs I go to the portal and look up key words like bamboo and scroll until I find one that will work in my area, I suck at making custom designs so I leave it to the professionals haha

#

A tough thing to accept is that buildings and cliffs will always have a green grass poking through but you can use items like partitions and fences to hide the imperfections

does anyone wanna share some of their East river mouth designs if they have one? i'm really struggling with what to do there

How should I spice this area up?

(Can't make it any bigger)

I think it’s perfect

it's not visible but right below that there's a T rex and idk what to do with it

#

idk if it looks good that is

fathom crag
#

looks good, maybe adding some street lamps near the benches?

trim kestrel
#

i might, although the benches are placed on 1 tile and 2 halves, so the placing will look odd

#

i wanted to add something in the middle, but idk what would look nice and fit

yeah i think a floor item would work because it's on the floor so it won't obstruct movement

im sorry if this isnt the right place to ask or anything But i kind of need opinons on this. Does it look better having the bridge and incline lined up or where its a small turn

dull dew
# open turret

I like your map layout too, jealous. Mines like that except my RS is in the middle

final sierra
#

if you are to place it lined up, then i suggest putting the bridge slightly closer to the incline (but not too close so you can still have a 2x2 path)

trim kestrel
#

What bridge would work here the most? Stone or iron? Leaning more towards iron

help!! what do i do with this awkward space!!

also ignore the flowers on the beach, its just a placeholder, i will dig them up eventually

that's why ima most likely go with iron

Exactly, iron it is! I just hate the fact that you've gotta build on bells to have the bridge build. 😆

hi so i want a pink island that has pink flowers and gold roses but in a bit confused on what to do for the design of the island everything seems so overwhelming ☹️💔

woven drift
#

if the design on the map is important to you, there are some really cute ideas on pinterest! but honestly i didn’t worry about it too much, i added a few cute details like heart island and crescent moon river and made sure to have a clear path and it looks nice!

i’m currently on a treasure island lol or i would show mine

Heyyyy I just started flattening my island, does anyone know how to fill in this little ditch? It’s really annoying…

There’s no way to.

I’m completely stumped on how to open my island. Any ideas? My paths are Terracotta bricks and I have no clue what to do via terraforming.

Any ideas for a design that i can use with a pergola?

For the entrance and so many people posted amazing idea

I can post a few also

And looking at the map view, comparing it to other users maps, is a good way to plan terraforming also

I need to figure out what I want to do with the areas above the piano and the other side behind the museum. The upper area should be something pretty natural looking so it doesn't take away from the display below

#

Also after it was brought up above, I could use a better island entrance. I don't really NEED a donation box

what bushes go best with hedges?
