oblique cliff
#

I line my paths with the cherry blossoms

devout grotto
#

@lone rover im not doing anything with them as they'll return to normal in a couple weeks sadly

unborn blade
#

aren't cherry blossoms leaving after spring though?

oblique cliff
#

They leave after April 10th

unborn blade
#

ouch

devout grotto
#

yup

unborn blade
#

yeah I see not point in moving them if I am just gonna move them again

next cypress
#

it's a good way to identify which trees are fruit and which aren't though, if you were like me and just randomly scattered them around

oblique cliff
#

^^ this

next cypress
#

now I have only fruit trees on my bottom tier and only non-fruit on my cliff tiers, so I know which ones to shake lol

woven drift
#

ok i got my 5 star back

#

i forgot i dumped a ton of wood on the floor lol

unborn blade
#

why is the plaza so uneven to all my design, aaaa

woven drift
#

i regret having my plaza being so close to my airport

#

i cant have a cool entrance

unborn blade
sharp stump
#

@unborn blade 8 bridges max

left mango
#

nicole do you know if is the same limit for ramps?

hard ivy
#

@left mango yeah, 8 bridges 8 inclines

left mango
#

ooh I see

woven drift
#

8 is the max?

#

i never knew lol

#

unborn blade
#

@sharp stump all good, I actually had an issue with map size

#

had to cut out 2 bridges

left mango
lapis hull
#

Wait you can have houses on the beach?

left mango
#

@lapis hull yeah u didn't know? lol

ocean narwhal

proper owl
#

any of you guys see / have cool inspiration for flower gardens? i just finished up my neighborhood part so im trying to work on that now 😮

unborn blade
#

@proper owl I'm decently proud of my flower garden/orchard if you wanna look at it

#

this is in a planner but this is what I currently have

#

all 8 flowers surronding my orchard

proper owl
#

oh wow that looks really interesting 😮

#

any recommendations on fencing you're gonna use

unborn blade
#

I'm using Imperial, I really like the design of it

proper owl
#

trying to debate whether to do simple country or vertical board

#

oooh ok

unborn blade
#

if I can find it

young kelp
#

hallo, new to this discord~ is this where people post design layouts / landscaping?

proper owl
#

yes!

unborn blade
#

Ideas, plans, actually islands, anything map related really

young kelp
proper owl
#

also i have essentially 2-3 big plots of land left now so im trying to decide what big set pieces i can do

unborn blade
#

I just want terraforming lmao

#

so I can do my idea

young kelp
#

ive been experimenting with landscaping lots, its low quality but heres my fave part of my island

proper owl
#

ive seen the restaurant done a lot so maybe i'll do that

young kelp
proper owl
#

oh wow wait that looks really good

lapis hull
#

Can you skip ahead a day to have a house built then go back a day and have it still be built?

proper owl
#

yeah

young kelp
#

thank you!! I've been looking for inspiration for the rest of my island, was hoping to find references here

proper owl
#

i shamelessly look my neighborhood from some twitter post i found

#

*took

young kelp
#

can you put a bridge over 3 wide rivers? or does it have to be 4

proper owl
#

mine are all over 3 wide

young kelp
#

oooo

#

tyty

woven drift
#

is it just me or are extremely neat organized and "flawless" islands really weird to see

hearty remnant
woven drift
#

why not move your stuff closer to eachother?

#

everyones so spread out its hard to walk to villager to villager etc

hearty remnant
#

True but I don’t where to make some villager spots since I feel the map has so much bad used spaced

#

Diagonals In this game are useless

inner star
#

so a house needs a 4x4 area correct?

hearty remnant
#

Yes

inner star
#

thanks]

lapis hull
#

So I placed a housing plot, then skipped ahead 1 day but I still have the plot in my inventory. Thought the house would have been built but it wasn’t even placed.

ancient heron
true sand
#

im completely out of ideas for my island, the bridge coming out of the airport isn't symmetrical to the town hall and it's one block off if i try to put a path leading from the airport to the town hall, i flattened my entire map and moved all my shops and houses to the side but i really dont know what to do with the entrance since it's not gonna be neat at all and it bothers me

quick cobalt
#

omg i had almost the same map design

#

i took off the bottom hook with the heart. still struggling on mine also lol. but i moved all houses to the beach so i can work on it

woven drift
#

see this is why i just worked with the base island i got

#

instead of wiping everything clean

quick cobalt
#

lol i was high key considering restarting bc idk why i chose the map

woven drift
#

im awful at thinkin about designing an entire map

alpine cape
#

Slowly but surely. Still need to work out terraforming on the northeast corner of the island.

quick cobalt
#

jk i i liked the heart lmaooooo but i already put in so much work

woven drift
#

campsite being so far away is weird to me lol

#

mines right next to the plaza

#

but nice

quick cobalt
#

@ancient heron you already took out the rivers but i basically just took out the bottom hook and redid the heart somewhere else

ancient heron
#

Ok thanks for the help

alpine cape
#

@woven drift I’ll be moving the campsite, I just needed it out of the way when I got it

uncut cedar
#

i put my plaza and dock and aiport where thy are

#

idk how the water limitations work

#

besides cant modify beach

primal ginkgo
#

@uncut cedar You’ll want to make sure to have some hills as some creatures can only be caught on tier 2/3 rivers and such

uncut cedar
#

yeah i didnt do the terraforming for that yet

#

but will do

#

itd be cascading top down

indigo gale
#

IM ALMOST THERE!!!!

quaint crane
#

@indigo gale nice what star rating u at?

woven drift
cyan violet
#

a lot of decoration and fences

#

also you have my exact design haha

#

the same rivers

woven drift
#

Nice lol thxx

#

You all have such nice designs!! I can't wait for my island to not be so ugly lmao

cyan violet
#

all the villager houses are gonna move to the right

#

even the one in the center atm

next cypress
#

Anyone have some good ideas for nice-looking outdoor turnip storage? Going crazy having my house filled up with them so at the moment I just have them piled up outside, thought about fencing it in but would like to snazz it up a bit and decorate it somehow

woven drift
#

this is the entrance to the animal village i have

cyan violet
#

@woven drift I agree hehe

trim finch
#

Can anybody help me make my town look cute? I need help laying things out and other things please dm

woven drift
#

@cyan violet north west, then give your house a flashy entrance

cyan violet
#

why not center? I will move all the villagers to the east

#

I'm still unsure

woven drift
#

oh then ye center is good

cyan violet
#

closer to the shops yk

#

and north east could be an orchard or some thing else maybe

tulip pike
alpine locust
#

i cant be the only one stressed over the amount of ideas they want to do in their island fdsjsdfh

spice wagon
#

can someone help, i thought nooks and mables were 5x4 size but i hole checked ingame and nooks is 7x4 like am i doing this right?

#

@alpine locust im trying to grid my layout so i know exactly what is going on what sqaure

#

my stress is ehjahdjkshakda

alpine locust
#

like i wanna work on my villager's houses so i have a good layout on that but idk ;;

proper owl
#

trying to decide what to do with my vertical stretch next to the beach rn ahh

spice wagon
#

yeah thats why i wanna grid mine up so i know what i can place near their homes and such like flowers/trees/decorations

woven drift
spice wagon
#

like i had a doodle like moblie ibispaint doodle, so now ive made a grid based off that island helper designer. resized my ingame map ...pixeled all the edges to basic squares and now trying to lay out 10 villager houses is just not working

proper owl
#

ooh yeah i saw that from twitter its really nice design

#

nice flower colors too

hearty remnant
#

I’m also very stressed with the map

#

I’m finding it the hardest thing in the game @spice wagon

#

Look at my horrible natural layout

#

I really don’t know how to fix this

timid kernel
#

i think the thing i dislike the most is the time part attached to EVERY SINGLE action, like you need a whole 2 days to destroy a ramp and then build another right? like zzzzz

proper owl
#

yeah its so stupid, like for example i just realized that one my houses & museum is like 1 space off of where they need to be

#

rip

timid kernel
#

so to fix that you'd need 2 days irl and it's such a minor move.. idk why they didn't allow us to pay extra for a faster way to move stuff, oh well =/

mossy verge
#

how do we plant normal trees?

proper owl
#

buy saplings from nooks

mossy verge
#

ahhh okay thanks 😄

hearty remnant
#

... creative people... help me

next cypress
#

with what? it helps if you have more specific questions

proper owl
#

my best advice is just to start by copying a layout that looks cool and then go from there. Example: i copied my layout of orchards from someone, a neighborhood from someone, my hilltop house from someone, and my waterfall museum from someone LOL, but put together they all look very nice

cyan violet
#

same

hearty remnant
#

Where do I find layouts

cyan violet
#

reddit bro

#

reddit or here

mild dock
#

What is the best island designer? Are there any other good ones, other than the Happy Island Designer? I like that one but I don't like the scaling of the buildings and was wondering if there's a more accurate one

hearty remnant
#

The animal crossing subreddit?

spice wagon
#

Anyone with a fully upgrade nook store confirm the grid size of it for me please!

vast cedar
#

Why can't I send?

spice wagon
proper owl
#

i thnk its 6x4

#

jx

#

jk* its 7x4

spice wagon
#

Nooooo

#

Ables is only 5x4 nooks is 7x4 museum is 7x4.... Homes are 4x4

#

THE MAP DOESN'T ADD UO

hearty remnant
#

@spice wagon I feel that separate mountains are a horrible idea . I thought they were cool but ....

mossy quarry
proper owl
#

ooh nice eggs

mossy quarry
#

It is bunny day my dudes

#

Thanks

spice wagon
#

@hearty remnant im doing layers at first, then making it more naturally looking when I have my placements done

#

Like don't get me started on path design paths have to be 2x2 homes doors are 1x1

#

Like map math just wants to hurt me

#

How can you all calmly do this, but your pictures bring me such joy uwu

pine crest

I’m not doing anything today, so pretty much for a few hours! Dodo has been acting up for me which is why I’m doing friend requests :))

#

Thank you!

tranquil rivet

Ahh mannn : (

woven drift

quaint mason
#

does anyone know how big a body of water needs to be to spawn fish. is 2 wide enough for rivers

cyan violet
#

@quaint mason nope you need at least 3

proper owl
#

i have a small fish rn in a smaller part of my river though (size 2)

#

but its connected to a size 3 dunno if that makes a difference

proper lava
#

So how is everyone planning out there island.. Mine doesn't look super bad.. I think.. but I', having a hard time actually planning it out without it being so cramped.

primal crest
#

I'm still working on mine but this is how it looks. @proper lava

Still need to figure out where im placing the buildings.

proper lava
#

Mine only uses the bottom corner of the map really lol

sacred stump
primal crest
#

I'd like to split my houses in half between the town hall but I'm still unsure how I want to do it.

proper lava
woven drift
#

i wanna make my town look pretty but i’m like very bad at designing any ideas/help pleaseeee :((

primal crest
#

Oh jeez.

proper lava
#

Its just all crammed down there haha

proper owl
#

levels make the island look so good

next cypress
#

hm maybe spread out your villager houses? Put them in a different part of the island?

#

Looks strange to me to only use 1/4 of the map and the rest is empty, idk

proper lava
#

It doesn't look bad in game, and I have moved my house since I took that picture but ya.

cyan violet
#

@next cypress you got any ideas for my town? the houses will move to the ends of the paths on the east and my house to the center but for the rest I got no ideas

proper lava
#

but looking at all these islands that use like all the space look amazing.

cold cypress
#

guilty as charged of using only 1/4 of my map

#

but i have plans for making a big naturey arboretum and flower observation path

next cypress
#

Hmm idk, maybe think about adding some outdoor spaces like a park, or you could move your campsite further away from town and decorate around it with like hiking trails and stuff

proper owl
#

i still have 1/4 of my map that i dunno what to do as a set piece ahhh

cold cypress
#

i have this thing where I want to make my town as busy as possible BUT there should still be some untouched naturey areas just in case, for bugs and stuff

cyan violet
#

I already got a small japanese area around it @next cypress

grave kestrel
proper lava
#

@cold cypress Thats kinda what I went with. A little urbanized area but mostly un touched land.

#

I've since made a mountain in the middle that will be my house but the village is still there.

cold cypress
#

nice!

#

i didn't think very far ahead so i've spent bells to move almost every single building & villager

#

and im not even done yet

proper lava
#

I feel that pain. Dropped over a mill moving everyone out, to move them back into proper place xD:

next cypress
#

yup same... I've only got 2 more houses to move I think

proper owl
#

at least 2.5 million for me im sure ive demolished and remade so many parts of my twon

proper lava
#

Here is the updated image.

gusty briar
#

Hey all looking for ideas on what to do with my island here is all I got so far 😦

heavy anvil
#

can someone help me with where i should put my villagers please? :))

loud pawn
proper lava
#

That's a lot of paths! lol

covert orbit
#

Looks like a very urbanized area

loud pawn
#

Yeah modern style

next cypress
#

Looks neat, I like how you kept the rivers and cliffs looking very natural shaped

loud pawn
#

I used a lot of paths for like flower beds

#

There’s 2 big gardens there

#

Flower grow on the dark dirt path so

proper lava
#

Ya, I use the dark dirt for garden beds with villager houses :)

loud pawn
#

It looks good flowers

proper lava
#

Every house has 2 spaces all around the front sides with my layout for yards.

loud pawn
proper lava
#

Very nice.

loud pawn
#

I built a lot of stuff That doesn’t have an purpose like fruit market adventure forest bamboo chillout area

#

Power plant

proper lava
#

Ya, I need to start doing those kind of details on my island.

gusty briar
#

One of these things is not like the other

next cypress
#

Yeah there's so much space that you kinda have to add purpose-less areas to fill it up

loud pawn
#

True

#

I already have 3 gardens

#

There’s a lot of space

flat sluice
#

all that space kills me

cold cypress
#

i'm just wondering if thye add the cafe, if it will be its own building (what i hope) or in the museum

next cypress
#

I have a boardwalk which will have a cafe, arcade/carnival games, and market stalls. Public pool area with beach chairs and stuff. Campsite has hiking trails that lead to a pond. Etc

proper lava
#

@cold cypress my guess is that they will add it upstairs in the muesum.. those stairs are kinda useless lol

cyan violet
#

same

#

I think that too

cold cypress
#

if so its a shame, I have a really cute spot that i could have used for it

#

i could put the campsite there though

proper lava
#

Could always build your own little outdoor cafe.

flat sluice
#

^ thats what im doing

proper lava
#

I've built a little play area / fountain in the center of my town. But I need to do things like outdoor cafe / eatery and gardens and stalls etc.

loud pawn
#

It’s my 2 nd level of the map

proper lava
#

lol

loud pawn
#

Nice Goufer Looks cool

proper lava
#

Thanks. I'll open up for tours eventually when I'm comfortable with showing all of it.

shadow dock
proper lava
#

Going left.

#

Connecting to your other beaches without pool vault is nice for fishing / shells.

loud pawn
shadow dock
#

Ah thanks for the tip

proper lava
#

Plaza can act as a path.

loud pawn
#

Better not

#

You can actually do a trick

#

And place the tree a bit lower next to the custom path

#

The tree top will cover that

limpid aspen
proper lava
#

@limpid aspen You can lay rugs outside?

#

Ahhh.

limpid aspen
#

It’s not a rug, it’s a pattern :)

proper lava
#

I need to look into using patterns more too

uncut abyss
loud pawn
#

I don’t get why Melinda tells me there’s too much stuff on my floor lying around

#

I mean like beside shells

#

There’s nothing else

uncut abyss
#

Thinking of building a waterfall like pictured above, that goes down the neighborhood. Anyone with something similar I can get some inspo from?

spice wagon
#

More people should post their map so I can get some level ideas 🙏

loud pawn
#

Diskette I can invite u for a dodo if u want

spice wagon
#

No I mean like the highest point placement stuff

normal vessel
#

hey guys...i need some help
so i have no idea what to do with my town lmao
my "theme" is japanese sort of - bamboo, those like japanese wall things, cherry blossoms, pink flowers, etc
all i have is i want a market area in the top right
any ideas?

spice wagon
#

I'm redesigning my map atm after my first two just don't work :(

#

So I've been creep for a few hours looking at where people have their level placements for ideas to fix my layout

normal vessel
#

i don't have terraforming yet but once i do i will def move things around

gusty briar
#

What did you come up with @spice wagon 👀

spice wagon
#

I'm moving everything

covert orbit
#

You shouldn't rely too much on the cherry blossom trees, since they're only temporary

gusty briar
#

So am I the only one who picked the bottom right map at start?

spice wagon
#

I was gonna do 3 levels but that's just boring

normal vessel
#

i'm not, i'm just trying to help picture the aesthetic

next cypress
#

Everyone had a different 4 maps to choose from at start

gusty briar
spice wagon
#

Yeah I placed stuff randomly since you can move it later, and I sold står fragments during the boom so I'm rich to not care levels without tt

covert orbit
#

The 4 are randomized, from my experience

gusty briar
#

Oh... so mine is completely unique?

next cypress
#

Sorta, there are only a certain number of river styles you could start with, town hall locations, airport locations, etc.

spice wagon
#

4 random i just wanted my South River exits and spend to long trying to place airport and town hall in nicer places 😭

covert orbit
#

Others might have similar layouts, but things like pier placement and native fruits are probably different

next cypress
#

I think the game randomly chooses each feature and then presents you 4 options it came up with

spice wagon
#

But @gusty briar is giving me a idea 🥰

cold cypress
#

isn't there about 40? 50? unique layouts

minor pelican
covert orbit
#

The patterns are technically not paths, though you can just place the pattern over the paths

gusty briar
#

What did you have in mind? @spice wagon

#

No

minor pelican
#

No

spice wagon
#

The way your 2nd level flows just oof

gusty briar
#

Left side is a hot mess right is a outdoorsy wooded area

spice wagon
#

Oh dw if I showed my current map people would cry

#

I was so busy getting my rating up I just went crazy throwing things down

gusty briar
#

That’s exactly what I did now I don’t know what I want to do with my island

silver sorrel
#

my island requires too much terraforming lmao

spice wagon
#

That's why I'm doing my grid idea atm so I know what square has what

#

Then I'll hire a garden team to help with re planting everything xD

gusty briar
#

Yeah mine is just off because idk what I do with a tiny sliver on each side

spice wagon
#

And they'll know exactly where to go if I grid it off

gusty briar
#

I LOVE cross breeding I think they cover 1/4 of my island

spice wagon
#

My entire West Side of my island is for breeding atm I've cut the villagers off from touching it

gusty briar
#

But they can sometimes water them they are helpful

#

Erm

smoky nacelle
#

Lmao

spice wagon
#

Oh you noticed?

#

Like 4 others have noticed that xD

gusty briar
weak cargo
#

Here’s basically what I’m thinking for when I get terraforming. Any thoughts?

hardy plaza
#

i dont read i only watch pictures :p

spice wagon
#

But I need like it all to match so I had choices to make

#

Like I might cut off the east and keep that lower

gusty briar
#

Yours looks nice nanman

hardy plaza
#

rip my msg deleted

spice wagon
#

Can't talk biology I guess

hardy plaza
#

xD

silver meteor
#

So at what point do you get the terraform permit?

spice wagon
#

Ok to avoid biological... Mirrors... Lower East Side make a star and moon pond combo disconnect it from museums moat.... Hmm

hardy plaza
#

Hope your island gives.. birth.. to many wonderfull villagers lol

spice wagon
#

Well I did get kabuki so maybe 🤔

gusty briar
#

I think that’s not bad idea

plush rampart

#

Flower garden? Fruit orchard?

Hm... maybe

do bridges work if its over a river on the second green layer?

silver sorrel
normal vessel
#

wow, that's lovely! just wondering though..why the path changes? no hate i just am curious what you're planning with that

silver sorrel
#

in a perfect world it'd be a bridge

#

but i don't know yet if a bridge would work there yet

#

i just used the stone as a placeholder

normal vessel
#

ahh i see
i think that would look great! 👍

icy wren
#

I just got terra forming and waterscaping but I don't have many ideas. Can I get some pointers?

silver sorrel
#

honestly

#

i'd make the rivers the star

#

they already look wacky so i'd just build your town around it

silent rover
#

I think I’m about to get terraforming and I have no idea where to begin, what are some good tips for getting started?

short osprey
#

anyone have any orchard layouts? 🙂 looking for inspiration

covert orbit
#

@silent rover Have a general plan in mind. Do you want an orderly grid-like town? Do you want a dedicated area for fruit trees and/or flowers?

heady dew
#

Can u make a waterfall anywhere or does there have to be water there in the first place?

woeful crest
#

you can make it anywhere

#

as long as there are multi tier

heady dew
#

So u need 3 layers?

timid kernel
#

@weak cargo i'd suggest for the airport area where you start the path leading up to the stores.. make that a little more than just a straight line to it. a park, or some sort of 'welcome wagon' area and then connect from there, it'd give a bit more flavor

#

nice idea tho overall 🙂

hollow ember
#

any of y'all have island entrances that you're proud of? Looking for some ideas

how do you get the star furniture btw

hey guys - not sure if this is the place to ask, but questions channel was no help to me haha, I'm redoing my whole island! Any suggestions on: where to start, where to place things, and what to do with the houses before I start terraforming? Or any general tips on what looks best/is most efficient?

timid kernel
#

@queen nexus i feel like the top left and bottom left are very nicely designed and has some cool design choices but the bottom right is just completely pathed down so it sorta has a weird contrast after i looked at it a bit longer

queen nexus
#

oh i'm planning on pathing EVERYTHING

#

it won't just be that area lol

timid kernel
#

oh!! okay cool 😄

queen nexus
#

it's the paths from in game not custom ones

@mild dock you can't move the town hall, so plan that area from the beginning, move all of the buildings/houses first

timid kernel
#

gotcha, yeah i heard the custom ones can be annoying cause you can pick them up by mistake

queen nexus
#

The trick now is figuring out how to decorate

silver sorrel
#

i'd also delete the rivers and cliffs so you start with a perfectly clean slate

west plover
#

@mild dock we need more info to give any kind of advice. My main advice is lay all cliffs/land before doing any river/waterfall work

queen nexus
#

YOU CAN!!! It's so annoying

#

so i stopped using them

timid kernel
#

😦 i wish they would just put a pathing QR /type of feature with the pathing tool so it just mimics whatever custom design you use while using their pre-built system

queen nexus
#

the ones in game look good anyway

timid kernel
#

yeah that's good, maybe in the future they will expand on it

mild dock
#

this is essentially my island right now. i am working on destroying cliffs, and just finished removing my flower field after two, very long days lol

queen nexus
#

honestly i just chipped away at areas i wanted to change

#

no plan or anything

#

got inspo from mattsubola's map

silver sorrel
#

now you gotta figure out the main things you want on your island Cay. Do you want the villager houses and shops to all be in one location? Figure out the space for it. Want an orchard? Figure out the space for it

pearl kiln
#

There's a way to add your own art to the paths

queen nexus
#

it's not a bad map to work with though @mild dock

#

it's pretty clean already

pearl kiln
#

Make four copies then add a different clear line to each one on a different edge

timid kernel
#

iirc a lot of people suggest just teraforming your entire island and level it down so you have a good base. thats why in my game i'm putting quite a bit of stuff in a small corner so i can have easier access to my island in a week or so

pearl kiln
#

I saw a twitter tutorial on it

mild dock
#

I'll see if I can send a pic of my current map (i grabbed that one online so i can use Happy Island Designer)

#

I'm more curious about what I should be doing with the houses/shops while I'm terraforming - should i move them all to one corner?

proper owl
#

i deforested so much that isabelle actually told me to get more trees lmao 😢 guess i need to have more than just an orchard

timid kernel
#

if you already have a plan going into it though then maybe you don't have to level the entire island unless that is your goal

#

haha aw 😦

mild dock
#

this is my current map. it’s very messy, at the moment lol

silver sorrel
#

so what do you not like about this design?

mild dock
#

it's very flat, for the most part. I want to make use of my space without just throwing furniture everywhere (like i did up until now, lol...)

silver sorrel
#

maybe make the housing area on a hill

#

you did that with two houses already

proper owl
#

second making the houses on levels, my town looks a lot cooler b/c of it haha

mild dock
#

yeah haha those are my two favourite villagers' houses lol

#

do you think I should keep them all in the top left, or should I move them away from the river mouth for more space?

queen nexus
#

yeah i would put them all on cliffs

#

mountain town!

mild dock
#

hahaha

timid kernel
#

bottom right hand side is giving me strong vibes of a field, like you could make it a country / mountain combo island

#

make the right side all country like and the left more mountain based and the middle blend it together

proper owl
#

i want to build more hilly places but my villagers won't be able to access it and it'll be quite unfortunate haha

@valid skiff that is reallllllly cool! love it

The first picture has some messed up patterns, I was still testing colors haha

#

i like the stair effect

valid skiff
#

Thank you!

silver sorrel
#

have you thought about maybe elevating the bridge parts to make it look higher?

slim siren
#

I’ve decided to go for a more natural feel. I have changed much about the map. Still a ways to go but this is my progress so far

silver sorrel
#

i dig the natural theme

proper owl
#

This is what the map looks like right ! I just need help figuring out what to put on the big bottom left and that long strip on the right any suggestions appreciated !

silver sorrel
#

it's really hard to go overboard with terraforming n all that so seeing a natural town every once and a while is refreshing

#

@proper owl maybe a boardwalk of some sort?

slim siren
#

The main stuff I’ve done is add some paths (zell is sitting right where I wanna add a path though...) and flesh out rivers and cliffs to give more room. I plan to make the top right 3rd level mountain bigger as well

silver sorrel
#

you can move his house eventually lol

valid skiff
#

@silver sorrel holy crap, that is an amazing idea. I would need to test it

silver sorrel
#

i can't really fit one into my town unfortunately, but yeah with the sand and brick/wood pattern it would look really good

proper owl
#

yeah I just do a boardwalk ish thing on the left, or maybe sort of a nice natural scenery and have a smaller boardwalk on the right

#

thanks for the suggestion

silver sorrel
#

👌

slim siren
#

I’ve been doing brick stuff (path, incline, bridge)

proper owl
#

I probably need to have an extra nature area otherwise Isabelle will never let me get 5 stars haha

silver sorrel
#

i might switch to custom designs eventually

#

but for now the ig patterns are good

bold nova
#

oof

#

i would go for a reset on maps

chilly spoke
#

help its been 30 minutes and i cant decide

slim siren
#

I have bottom right!

silver sorrel
#

@chilly spoke think about where the town hall is, cus you can't change it later

bold nova
#

town hall is not centralized

proper owl
#

yeah it sucks, but thankfully i chose a pretty good starting layout so it hasn't affected me too much

silver sorrel
#

i had to completely alter my map lmao

#

cus i wanted mine to be on the left, but it was on the right

slim siren
#

@chilly spoke I chose the bottom right one, and have liked it and learned to work around it

vital smelt
#

@valid skiff Where did u get the trees ?

slim siren
#

Scroll up for what I’ve terraformed so far lol

valid skiff
#

@vital smelt they were a gift. Someone else had the diy and made four for me cause we bonded over vaporwave. I dont think they're purchasable, you gotta find the diy or trade for them

proper owl
#

ahhh im just really excited for once im done decorating the island but i gotta go look for the right items haha

soft plaza
#

Anyone got any tips for massive terraforming projects

plucky trench
#

oh for the maps above i have top left

proper owl
#

move all the houses to one side so you don't plan maps around houses you dont even want in a certain spot anyways

vital smelt
#

@valid skiff Ok thanks kzuuxFace1

echo basalt
#

I’m trying to not make things too artificial if you know what I mean :)

proper owl
#

and if your map doesn't have a bad layout consider working with it instead of demolishing the entire thing

#

@echo basalt im interested in the pathways, they look interesting

echo basalt
#

@silver sorrel dm me if you wanna visit :)

silver sorrel
#

maybe a different day, im rushing to get my terraforming done so i can see zipper

#

cus im currently on april 14th and today is the only day to see zipper lmao

proper owl
#

you can just TT back and it shouldn't affect anything i think

silver sorrel
#

you have to sync your clock to the internet or else the event won't happen

#

and if i sync it tomorrow i'd miss the first day

#

which may be important so i'm not gonna chance it

echo basalt
#

Yeah I found the waterscaping to be really hard to use and predict what I’m gonna do

flint dagger
#

will i be able to move my villagers later on im still new

silver sorrel
#

yes

proper owl
#

oh huh i did just realize i haven't seen zipper all day

silver sorrel
#

did you time travel?

proper owl
#

i TT after i met him

flint dagger
#

when will i be able to move neighbors

proper owl
#

im pretty sure the sync is only to start the event and after that TT is fine as long as you remain in the dates

silver sorrel
#

that's where i got the initial info

proper owl
#

ah ok idk then

Is making a row of waterfalls by the airport when u walk in a good idea or is it too much?

that comes up almost everyday, i know someone posted the complete list before.. maybe we should pin it

i forget half the time what they are too xD

#

sorry!! I just didn't see it anywhere and when I google I get weird, not-actual-answer answers haha

timid kernel
#

nono don't take it the wrong way it's ok

#

its just a shower thought i had

silver sorrel
#

definitely not doing that as we speak

mild dock
#

yeah, i thought for sure it would be pinned somewhere!

timid kernel

someone had a super nicely laid out list

#

i should have saved it

If y’all find it again, send it over to modmail to request it to be pinned

it takes a while but its so worth it

My museum is built into the side of a cliff and I got a huge lake in front of it and I'm hoping to put a T Rex Display in the middle of the water

Did a small test, looks like fish require a 3x3 space in order to spawn. Kinda random, but maybe this is useful to someone 😄

#

like a River Delta but wider whatever that is called

#

Maybe if you place them strategically far apart you can turbo fish with no bait just running back and forth

#

But I'm not an expert on spawning/despawning

It felt like with some bugs there was a hard limit to how many you could catch then the game needed a break

#

@weak wagon that's a good idea, thanks! ^^ I'd just have to figure out how to about that.

weak wagon
#

I can show u some furniture that would fit in great

native cloud
#

That would be nice ^^

mellow trout
#

Ohhh @clever stone , that IS cute, thank you so much! It would save me moving the bridge like I thought I would have to!

native cloud
#

@buoyant cosmos I love how you how everything is placed on your map!! I'd say keep it

clever stone
#

I've got so many ideas but I'm desperately waiting on paths and terraforming to put down anything permanent haha. I've made a lil archive of ideas and thought that one might be helpful in your situation :)

weak wagon
#

So those are the things I would use

native cloud
#

@weak wagon ooh, thank you! ^^ how do you get a white park clock? Mine is always black in nook miles shop

#

Clock*

weak wagon

Anyone got really compact towns? Need some inspiration

woven drift
#

I do!

#

I think

spiral burrow
#

Show me

woven drift
#

Nvm I think I’m thinking of it wrong my bad, I’m only using alittle over half my map

spiral burrow
#

Still intersted in seeing it 😄

spiral burrow
#

Rn I'm trying to cram all houses and stores into a 25-30% of the map

woven drift
#

Dang

#

That’ll be interesting for sure

devout grotto
#

anybody who's terraformed a lot but has still managed to keep their island's vibe rustic and natural? i'd love to see some screenshots

spiral burrow
#

I'm planning to move the houses eventually

woven drift
#

I would move your house towards the campsite and stick all of your villagers houses in that entire area of the right of the museum

spiral burrow
#

The bottom middle area, that's ideally where I want to put the houses

woven drift
#

Ooooh you have a spot

#

Dang that’s really small

#

Not sure if you can fit all 10 there but hopefully!

spiral burrow
#

Yep

agile stag
#

why is everyone cramming their houses/services in a very small place? Is it to make it feel more city/town-like in that area or to free up the rest of the map?

woven drift
#

I’d love the see here final result

spiral burrow
#

For me it's to make it feel more town like

#

Also, I like the idea of having a sort of wilderness

woven drift
#

Yeah the area I don’t use is for flower farming

steady arrow
#

I’m pretty much done with paths atm, I’m just looking to fill up areas with decorations

spiral burrow
#

Also, my previous AC games were spread out. It was a PITA to walk everywhere 😛

agile stag
#

damn

woven drift
#

Oh jeez

spiral burrow
#

That's really big @steady arrow

woven drift
#

I can only function is organized maps ahhah

stuck crow
#

i love seeing all these maps with all these paths and stuff it looks like a subway system

steady arrow
#

@spiral burrow I love spacing things out hahaha

agile stag
#

@spiral burrow I like rambling around for to spots and having breathing room

#

but then again, going from Clothes shop to nooks is a pain

spiral burrow
#

Only problem I have now is getting the funds to move everything

agile stag
#

Flick came to my town a couple days ago now I'm a high roller $$

#

@woven drift what kind of pathing did you use for your housing area?

woven drift
#

Can someone show me their neighborhood designs

#

Pretty pls, even if its in DMs

young kelp

#

Yeah having like a "mine" would be pretty cool

young kelp
#

is there a limit to custom design tiles / qr u can have?

native cloud
#

@steady arrow that map layout looks good, you should be proud!!

valid skiff
#

@wise frost its a like 6 or 7 part pattern. Ill make it in a few hours and post it in the qr chat (ill tag you). I'd do it now but I'm only awake cause I had to wait for a call from my professor. If I dont force myself to get some sleep I might just go insane

woven drift
#

@orchid imp I used dirt because I already used a few others ahhah

native cloud
#

@woven drift your cafe is lovely ^^
@woven drift I really love the use of stalls and the pink theme here, super cute! 🌸

@valid skiff thanks, I appreciate it.

@woven drift oh ok! I’d love to see a tour of your island 🙂 I need some inspiration

devout grotto
#

i still have a couple lawns to fill with furniture and i will add more outdoor furniture around (like benches, streetlamps, plants, etc)

native cloud
#

Your neighborhood is organized nicely ^^

#

anyone managed to create a good looking forest?

devout grotto
#

@native cloud ty :)

native cloud

Yw ^^

mild dock
#

is a third tier pond necessary? or is having a couple second tier okay?

arctic fulcrum
woven drift
#

I put my neighbours in a line lol

#

looks perfect for a basketball court

graceful sky
#

Dimensions of N’s Cranny are 7x4, yeah?

woven drift
hushed pier
mild dock
#

technically not all together, but i separated my villagers in to 2 clusters of five at the top of the map, surrounding the museum (and eventually shops)

#

it's nice having the extra space between them, but keeping them together at the same time, in my opinion

restive mist
#

What are the dimensions of a villager house? Just so I don't fuck up plot planning

mild dock
#

4x3

anyone here good with landscaping stuff

raven thicket
#

What do u search in google to find this sort of thing?

indigo quarry
flint zodiac
#

anyone looking for work

tiny otter
#

@indigo quarry i love that street pole

flint zodiac
#

LF anyone who wants bells for landscaping work

thin temple
#

How would we landscape for you lol omg

flint zodiac
#

if u had terraforming

crude smelt
#

i dont think you can terraform in other towns.

I really like the entrance to my forest lol

wise grove
#

Any boardwalk areas anywhere?

#

Looking to make first 5 rows of land half wooden flooring and place houses and shops along it

tough lava
#

Guys is it worth it to buy these? I already have the custom one

rare arch
#

It's a lot faster than custom designs if you're okay with the pattern. and Lol you have 46K you can spare some for paths

wise grove
#

Does the custom one prevent growth? Or digging?

#

Cause those do. If I'm being picky I place a path behind buildings or cliffs I can't see just so weeds will never grow

next valley
#

has anyone done any cool exterior decorating for their museum? If so DM me pictures i need ideas lol

supple narwhal
#

Yeah the custom ones also prevent growth and digging

#

If used under island designer

wise grove
#

Oh then it's a good option for non QR code/custom people. I think those ones in the nookshop are pretty good quality, enough to make a great landscape/paths without using custom

#

But custom is tailor-made so yeah

rare arch
#

that's such a good tip to put path behind houses 😄 imma steal it

#

Can you put path around a tree to prevent weed, but let fruit still fall on it?

wise grove
#

Hmmmm..idk that sounds like a good use too! If you make a path that is diggable and then dig a hole and plant the tree over it

#

The path connects and you don't have any grass gaps

#

Lot of neat things to do with the paths. You can make shapes like hearts with them too

tough lava
#

Thanks for the tips guys!! Much appreciated 🙂

devout grotto
#

does anyone know how many blocks wide and long our house is?

#

like our character's house

5x3 i think

molten gust
#

@restive roost My latest idea is making other accounts to bring more humans (you can have 8) to my island, ala empty housing I can use to create my own little things, such as a diner, a movie theater, etc

wise grove
#

Not sure...I always dig holes to measure stuff like a caveman

tiny otter
#

I think 6x4

How do people line things up for relocation? I wish there was a grid...

gusty briar
indigo quarry
#

I think I made my town too... rectangular. What do you all think?

#

Context: the areas between houses that don’t have paths have flower beds and yards

cyan violet
#

for me personally it is too rectengular

#

but some people like it this organized

#

its a personal thing
