[woven drift]

how does my island look so far?

the bottom right if a flower garden

[cyan violet]

I like how you made the houses flow with the shops

do you have some ingame pics too?

[woven drift]

actually no i dont. but i can take some in desired spots if needed

it would take a hot minute to nab

[cyan violet]

maybe where the shops are/museum/flower guarden

but I like it a lot

[sterile tangle]

What are the patches of dirt on the lower right. Really curious to see what it looks like

[cerulean belfry]

Right*

But I’m curious too

I truly have found the bane of my existence today

Relocation

[woven drift]

i can take pictures of it. the areas flowers spot is a work in progress. trying to nab actual hybrids before planting so its not really the same colors

[sterile tangle]

OaO warning from exp. even 1 tile grid off will cost you at least 2 days to fix

[cerulean belfry]

I’m putting myself through so much suffering

For a mediocre result lmao

[tiny otter]

Hmm, you can put dirt/sand pathways then plant on top of

[cyan violet]

and you need sand pathways for palmtrees

[tiny otter]

Interesting so palm trees can now be on mainland.

[sterile tangle]

Palm trees! Is that southern Hemi exclusive?

[cyan violet]

but not grown only planted I think

wait let me show you

[tiny otter]

Seriously..

[next cypress]

<@&494448231036747777> Calling mod for cleanup please 🙂

[cyan violet]

@grave kestrel could you remove the big funny stuff?

[vale palm]

Thank you!

[lunar olive]

thank you!!

[unreal thistle]

[tiny otter]

I had seen that town before didn't note all the palm trees. Thanks for pointing that out.

[cyan violet]

thx

[woven drift]

thanks

[cyan violet]

@tiny otter I was surprised that it even works

[haughty grail]

can you add more levels to the little outpost of land??

like to make it a stargazing area on the highest level

[cyan violet]

you mean the small cove on the side of the islands?

[haughty grail]

yes

[woven drift]

a lot of my island is still a work in progress. still trying to figure out where i want furniture and working on getting hybrids for other spots. but i wanted to see if my layout was alright to continue working on

[cyan violet]

I need to try

[woven drift]

sorry for the image spam

[haughty grail]

pls do

[tiny otter]

Anyway to center that stair case

[dawn wasp]

a little bit annoyed at how the bridge isnt centered to the museum

[haughty grail]

i gotta know bevause im resetting my game for another map

[cyan violet]

@woven drift how did you get the japanese fence?

@haughty grail give me 5 min

[woven drift]

i could move museum and try to center it together, but it might be hard

i bought the diy recipe from the nook machine

[cyan violet]

@woven drift its quite easy you just need to plan in advance

[woven drift]

for fence*

[cyan violet]

oh okay

then I was just unlucky

[woven drift]

mfw girlfriend tells me not to plan in advance and work on it one at a time

[crude smelt]

its not possible to have it centered

tried it

[cyan violet]

not with a single stair

[crude smelt]

yeah

[cyan violet]

because its 5 wide

[crude smelt]

mhm

[woven drift]

i could like use two stairs

[crude smelt]

thats what i meant

[cyan violet]

jep

[woven drift]

i gotta work on the river to even it out though dont i

[dawn wasp]

i just messed up my river ;-;

[wind wind]

Would you guys be able to send photos of what you're doing around your houses?

I'm stumped and I just unlocked the landscaping tools, hah

[dawn wasp]

scroll up

theres a lot of pictures

[cyan violet]

@haughty grail yes you can

[haughty grail]

awesome ty

[wind wind]

Ah, thanks. I love the design that you posted, Mega

[cyan violet]

nvm

it works completely

[woven drift]

thank you!

[cold hound]

Sorry for small image spam but here’s my island so far!

[woven drift]

pretty nice, although i dont understand the large ocean in the center. do you plan on moving anything there? other than that i think it would be nice if you moved the houses around. sometimes moving them all together isnt the best idea. i know from experience

[next cypress]

Idk I love having all my houses together, makes it easier to find villagers when I'm looking for em

[cold hound]

The large lake is actually just something based off of my old irl neighborhood which also was around a giant lake, it just makes me happy lmao

[next cypress]

I do agree that I think the big lake takes up a little too much room, maybe put some small islands in there that you can hop between with stepping stones? Could put a cute bamboo grove or something in there

[cold hound]

For the houses I’m adjusting them slowly, I plan to space them out a tiny bit

Oo I like that idea, I may use that!

[grave elbow]

I actually like the big lake 🙂 feels like a proper campsite.

[languid portal]

Looking for inspiration, if anyone has anything cool going on around their museum or their town hmu, would love to see

[next cypress]

Just put in:#map-showcase has:images in the search bar and you can see all the pictures people have posted in this channel, lots of inspiration already been posted

[misty lion]

Is it possible to make caves ?

[coarse stone]

nope

[warm spoke]

Is this too much of a straight line

I feel like it needs diagonals but paths cant be diagonal

[slow basalt]

@river geyser delete it, not good

[spice citrus]

I just got the game and having to choose an island is hard;)! Is it most popular having the town hall as central as possible since everything else can be moved?

[dreamy fox]

8 inclines y’all.. I’m crying

[crude smelt]

same

[slow basalt]

That sounds expensive as shit :(

[proud rapids]

Looking to do a crazy overhaul, but i wanna still have symmetry so i really regert my lake placement, ant tips?

[dreamy fox]

Have to redo everything. Half my villagers have no way to get down HAHA

Nah what is expensive is now demolishing the ones I have to add them where they are needed

[crude smelt]

yeah same lauren

[slow basalt]

Are all your villagers cheap and not donate like mine

😪

[brazen bloom]

Mine donate like 100

[dreamy fox]

I don’t need there crusty pennies. I’ll take care

[slow basalt]

Mbn being rich

Cant relate

[formal peak]

Is this too much?

[crude smelt]

cute!

[plush token]

Who wants to help me design my island lmao. I want to do an almost gothic/victorian layout.

[tiny otter]

Pretty cool! Can't see the hearth tho 🙁

[formal peak]

Yeah, sorry was a bad angle because I really wanted to show the bamboo as well o3o!

but thx!!! 🙂

[brazen bloom]

What should I do

[idle oriole]

I need help designing my island

Can anyone

Join

[dreamy fox]

It’s taken my 4 days.. I couldn’t imagine helping another. I’m dying and I’m only 1/2 way. Then on top of it all have to do the fencing

[echo rose]

Why can’t I share photos of my map ?

[idle oriole]

Damn

[plush token]

It's mostly for design, the actual work only the island owner can do.

[idle oriole]

I hope u finish soon

Good luck

[cunning hedge]

does anyone have an idea for a cool concept for a flower garden? i might just end up making it basic but i wanted to see if there was any unique concepts

[barren gale]

@brazen bloom Make it look like a paradise

[formal peak]

I got a concept, but it's nothing extraordinary or too pretty

[brazen bloom]

Well yeah I just don’t know what to do with the waterr

[remote prairie]

Can you rotate items outdoor?

[woven drift]

Omg... ive come to realize i think i hate every single one of my 8 housing placements

[brazen bloom]

Same

Which path is the best

[idle oriole]

Well if anyone wants to join my dodo code is kh22q

[cerulean belfry]

I hate this... this game has really uncovered my symmetry obsession

i wanna cry

[cunning hedge]

can i see it? @formal peak

[formal peak]

This is what I did

[idle oriole]

That is beautiful

Like how bro

[formal peak]

Just placed fruit trees in the same distance all the way and put up flowers I liked!

[spice wagon]

@cerulean belfry i feel your pain, i spent 5ever trying to get a map that I did all my plans for and spent 2 days now making my own grid to fix everything

[formal peak]

Thanks man 🙂

[cerulean belfry]

its awful... and then you think you're onto something, an then someone on this server does something and mine looks like doodoo all over again

wahhhhh

[cunning hedge]

that is beautiful, thanks bro lol

[formal peak]

thx!! 🙂

[cyan violet]

I can't decide if I want the Zen or Stone Bridge

help

[vague delta]

I just got cliff construction and I'm working on getting my water landscaping, but I need some inspiration. Anyone care to DM me your maps?
I'm looking at creating orchards, flower areas and a zen garden.

[hollow knoll]

what are the dimensions of villager homes and your house respectively?

[idle oriole]

I went for zen

Thought it fits good with the cherry blossom trees

[formal peak]

Wanted to again ask for you input, because I went kind of brave on this one

placed like most of the villagers houses next to each other

[echo rose]

I made a snake river

[dreamy fox]

Dope👀

[tiny otter]

Breathing fire colored flowers 🔥

[idle oriole]

Nice

[dreamy fox]

Anyone got roses 👀

[idle oriole]

I do

Black and red

[dreamy fox]

Ohh let me PM

[idle oriole]

Ok

I already said my dodo code up in the chat

If u wanna join

[dreamy fox]

Ohhh here I come then, I’ll scroll

[idle oriole]

Although I don’t have many blacks so u can only take 2

[quartz wing]

Where should I move the houses if I wanna start from a clean slate?

[tiny otter]

Top right or left corner?

[pliant hollow]

Looking for tips on how I should improve my town section of my island

[tiny otter]

Cool spot! Really like infront of rez services

[sonic forum]

I’ve heard that there’s an achievement for flattening your town and having no cliffs. Is that true?

[spark dune]

mapped out my rivers, just gotta flood them in :-) (all my buildings r gonna be moved btw)

oh just noticed i need to finish the bottom river lol

[next cypress]

Looks kinda cool with them all stringy like that lol

[spark dune]

ikr ;; shame it looks bad up close

[ivory condor]

No cliffs?

[spark dune]

not yet

im not much of a cliff fan, i might not even do that many

[woven drift]

Made a fish-shaped fish pond for Audie:

Map view:

[spark dune]

cute :')

[next cypress]

I like that layout though alix looks very natural

[spark dune]

thank u, it is my intention

[woven drift]

Daily reminder that you should make all inclines on your island wooden ramps so that they are wheelchair-accessible, to ensure an inclusive design

lmao

[spark dune]

i will stick to the pretty wood log ones but thank u

[woven drift]

Even the natural ramp has bumpy stones which can be hazardous to people with a disability so stick to the wooden ramps

imma use stairs, ty tho

just use your legs

ez

[barren gale]

or you can drag yourself up using your hands

[woven drift]

gain that arm strength, walk around with your arms

and hands*

[spark dune]

next animal crossing game lets u have an option to be disabled

[pliant hollow]

Any tips on how I should make the town section better

[barren gale]

Wheelchairs in Animal Crossing when

[woven drift]

running is faster if you're disabled, but in return you can fall in the river and have to crawl around to get your wheelchair

fuck wheelchairs I want a mobility scooter

[idle oriole]

ILL BREAK YOUR KNEES

[woven drift]

a whole new way to abuse my villagers

[idle oriole]

Lol

[pliant hollow]

I want those old people shopping karts

[woven drift]

lead pipe when?

petition to change #island-designs to #wheelchair-acnh-chat

[plain mesa]

How thick do you guys make your paths?

[cerulean belfry]

2

[woven drift]

2-3

[idle oriole]

2-3-4

Although rarely 4

[woven drift]

yeah why would you do 4?

[next cypress]

Sometimes I do 4 if I want it to line up with something 2-tiles wide like a bridge but want the path to be a bit thicker, just add one on each side

generally I think 2 or 3 looks best though

[idle oriole]

Symmetrical ocd problemsXD

[onyx tendon]

Didn’t know where else to post this, but I love my pond, wanted to share it!

[woven drift]

texas

[short osprey]

Hey all! I’m having trouble getting my waterfall to be directly next to the staircase. Tips/tricks? :/

[thick folio]

in:#island-designs has: images

[woven drift]

I’m gonna need some kind of tutorial on how to make a heart shaped pond 😠

[plucky veldt]

Is there a way to remove bridges once they are built?

[barren gale]

Yeah just go talk to Tom Nook

It costs 10,000 bells to destroy something

[pliant hollow]

Any tips on how I can make my town section

Better

[analog iris]

@onyx tendon is that a Texas pond??

[onyx tendon]

@analog iris it is!

[analog iris]

😂😍 very cool!

[ivory condor]

@pliant hollow the trees make it hard to see whatever those first spaces are and ur plaza with the sand looks very empty and the soccer net has no soccer ball and why is there gym equipment on the beach?

[meager vessel]

Finally started full-scale construction efforts after 190 hours...
It's still incomplete, but I'm really proud of these parts.

[pliant hollow]

@ivory condor thanks for your feed back I have not really worked to much on the plaza with the sand and I am still figuring out what to put there and I thought the beach seemed like a fun place to work out

[ivory condor]

Maybe fences on the beach then to separate the workout area

[next cypress]

Maybe if you put like a platform under the workout stuff it'd work better. Cause it just makes me think of how heavy workout equipment is and how it'd be all uneven sinking into the sand lol

[pliant hollow]

@next cypress true I did not think of that lol

[viral geyser]

Is there like a gallery for map showcases here, or is it just the pictures people have posted before in this chat?

[next cypress]

put in:#map-showcase has:images in the search box and it will show you only images in this channel

[viral geyser]

Awesome! Thanks so much!

[solar carbon]

it sucks i cant place inclines diagonally

[unreal rose]

Anyone wanna join my island to help me figure out how to make it look better?

[echo rose]

I think someone was asking to make a heart pond earlier

Little messed up but hopefully it helps

[woven drift]

I got a heart pond by default I cant even terraform yet

[sage jasper]

Any tips on making cliffs look natural and not just a straight line?

[meager vessel]

@sage jasper Approach the cliffside at an angle

[sage jasper]

How so?

[meager vessel]

It can be a bit wonky, but after any initial block of cliff created, adjust yourself diagonally against the cliffside,

[errant ivy]

created an easter pond that im really proud of ☺️ qr design not mine

[woven drift]

how to move villagers houses?

Isabelle?

[unborn blade]

Nook

[meager vessel]

Tom Nook

[unborn blade]

[woven drift]

gonna have to figure that out later

I aint time travelling

so I dont even know how or when to get terraforming kit

[unborn blade]

Where you at

what is the most recent thing that happened

[next cypress]

I think you get ability to move buildings quite a while before terraforming

[woven drift]

well the only thing they tell me is they want kk so all my villagers gift me shit for him to appear

[unborn blade]

once Kk appears

[woven drift]

when will he, tho

just after placing random things in town?

[unborn blade]

after you make your town 3 star

[flat sluice]

I have entirely too much space. I already have my neighborhood plotted down, along with a cafe, and garden. I want my island to be like how Adventure Time has different regions with different settings/theme. Does anyone have any ideas for me for what else I can do for space?

[errant ivy]

also waterfall inclines, with a waterfall behind the museum

[woven drift]

o... right.. star rating

[unborn blade]

talk to isabelle and she will tell you what will help

[woven drift]

I see

thanks

[normal flame]

what are the mueseum dimensions? :0

[flat sluice]

7 x 4 ^

[normal flame]

thank ya!

[unborn blade]

same as nookies

[woven drift]

just noticed all the paths Ive build so far with Trees and Fences and Flowers will get useless as soon as I can move buildings ... F

[olive crag]

yup I had to get rid of all mine lmao

[unborn blade]

which is why I am doing big plans before I unlock it

[sage jasper]

Does anyone have a link to all the building dimensions?

[unborn blade]

I don't have a link but I know them all

whatcha need

[sage jasper]

Museum, Clothes shop, and Nook's Cranny.

[unborn blade]

7x4 for both Mueseun and Cranny

able 5x3

[sage jasper]

Thanks.

[wraith basin]

Hello people, I’m looking for a place where I can see what villager’s houses look like. Anybody knows if there’s something like that?

[sage jasper]

Can someone share their cliff designs? My edges are too straight.

[covert orbit]

I don't think there's a source like that. People care more about the villagers themselves than their houses?

[next cypress]

Nookipedia is putting together a collection of villager house images https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Category:New_Horizons_villager_houses it's not complete yet but they're working on it

[wraith basin]

Thank you thank you

[junior wedge]

is creating a map supposed to be this stressful i reached 3 stars so i have the construction app and im so stuck i have no idea what to do.. any pics or tips?

[fading anvil]

I'm in terraforming hell

[remote lintel]

Oh lord, good luck

[green bluff]

cant think how to lay out my island, can anyone share any ideas they have don so far?

[tiny otter]

This is what I have so far. Started at the airport at just been playing with colors and textures. Going to find a building to fill that empty vertical space. Maybe it'll give you an idea.

[shut leaf]

I would also greatly appreciate some help. If there's a town planning wizard out there who would be so kind as to dm me. I want to keep it all central but that makes half my island empty. The sides aren't really big enough to do much, I don't think.

[green bluff]

Nice, i have terraformed all my cliffs away to ahve a blank canvas to start on an regret it

i cant create a single natural looking cliff

[unborn blade]

@shut leaf https://planimalcrossing.com/nh/start/

[tiny otter]

Hmm someone was sharing tips on cliff creation earlier

[unborn blade]

This is my current plan, top left is a cliff area

[dreamy fox]

Can you hop/jump on 3rd lvl to 3 lvl?

Idk if that made sense

[wraith frost]

you can only hop to lvl 3 (if ground floor is counted as 1)

if you try to go to 4 it says oooohhh this is too hgihhh for saftey resons

so also no water can be constructed there

[dreamy fox]

So if I had a 3rd lvl cliff.. with like 1 space in between I could hop over to another 3rd lvl cliff? Sorry I didn’t understand the part in ( )

I just don’t want to waste a incline if it’s pointless

[wraith frost]

ooooh

y i think that you can

you mean like -light green on mini map- -air- -light green on mini map-

[dreamy fox]

Mmm I’ve only done it with lvl 2

And 1 obviously

[wraith frost]

and that you then jump between them

it should work the same

[dreamy fox]

Nahh I think

Med green

Wait Idk is light green lvl 3/4?

Or lvl 1

[wraith frost]

then its still lvl 2

you got dark green whiihch is 1

green 2

[dreamy fox]

I’m getting more confused

[wraith frost]

light green 3

[dreamy fox]

I’m talking about lvl 3 though

Oh okok

But yeah light green air light green

[wraith frost]

y know what lemme test rn

[dreamy fox]

Would the player hop? Or is it to high up?

.. bless you

[wraith frost]

lemme film the epix moment

[dreamy fox]

[cold cradle]

what are dimensions to ables and nooks

[dreamy fox]

No idea maybe 4x5 or 5x6

Not that much space it took up when I replaced it

[wraith frost]

able is 5 horo 4 verti, nook 6,4

[green bluff]

nook is 7 wide, not 6

[unborn blade]

nook is 7x4

[wraith frost]

@dreamy fox

mb

srry for crappy vid

[shy quest]

Can you connect two ridges by a bridge?

[wraith frost]

ridges wdym

[dreamy fox]

OHHHG

[wraith frost]

the thing i made in the video?

a "gap"

[dreamy fox]

this changes everything

You can’t connect

[wraith frost]

also @dreamy fox np

[dreamy fox]

with water under

[wraith frost]

lmao

[dreamy fox]

Thank you @wraith frost

[unborn blade]

wait you can't build bridges on higher levels? across water

[dreamy fox]

Idk why I tagged self. Caca brain

[shy quest]

Yeah two cliffs* was wondering if you can connect them by a bridge

[dreamy fox]

I’m all out of inclines so I need this

You can but not with air under

Has to have water

[wraith frost]

lauren how many inclines max?

5

?

10?

[dreamy fox]

8

[wraith frost]

over 9000?

[dreamy fox]

It’s pathetic ngl

[wraith frost]

phew

then my design still works

[dreamy fox]

I would love that

[idle agate]

8 max inclines and 8 max bridges?

[dreamy fox]

Lucky.. I still need like 6 more inclines

[wraith frost]

tbf if you need more then 8 bridges you should just make less watr

[dreamy fox]

Yes

Sorry 8 inclines not bridges

...

[idle agate]

How many max bridges?

[dreamy fox]

8/8 same

8 bridges and 8 inclines

[next cypress]

At least with water you can make stepping stones to hop across. but there is no alternative for cliffs besides pulling out your ladder

[idle agate]

Sorry 8 inclines not bridges
@dreamy fox What was this in response to?

[dreamy fox]

But when your trying to make your villagers fancy islands.. 8 isn’t enough for 10

[next cypress]

I wish you could put down permanent ladders or make hand-holds in the cliffs or something

[dreamy fox]

In response to french I already answered your question..

8 bridges and 8 inclines ..

[idle agate]

Gotcha. Thanks.

[wraith frost]

also i just remeberd what i was here for prepare for loads of text guys this straight from the copy

Hey guys so, as of recently i got my permits (river cliff etc) and i have had this idea for a island for a real long time now, it would be a sort of waterfall dome which uses grey paving + blue fences, i was also thinking of adding little island in the water with trees / flowers. Do you guys think it would look any good? got any tips? (Also yes i know that the surrounding cliffs are very very bland but ill find a design for that latr (the cliffs r suppose to rap round the hole watr, just noticed left is missing a little)) Any feedback is greatly appreciated! (even if its ideas for the cliffs on the sides (which i was thinking of putting flowers on, a lot of flowers)) Sorry for the big lap of text

[dreamy fox]

I think it would look great! Might be slot of water but I think the idea would be really good. Then all that space in the back for trees flowers etc, park/playground whatever set up you want

[wraith frost]

y that was what i was thinking too

[dreamy fox]

Because it’s easy to have a lot of empty space so I think the water would be great.

Mine is all island and water so I feel this

[wraith frost]

but where would i but the inclines to get up the cliff

[dreamy fox]

I’m obsessed with waterfalls

But where you going to put the museum and stores?

[craggy panther]

Are you able to remove sand?

[dreamy fox]

Sadly not

I think your stuck with your beach and water outlets that lead to the ocean

Smh

[wraith frost]

i luckily have these water outlets

i for some reason had this idea from just loading up the game first time

[woven drift]

mine create like a corner square bottom right

[wraith frost]

good point that about museum and nook tho

[cold cradle]

is the brick path the same texture as the brick bridge

[tiny otter]

Here, sorry it's not a side view of bridge

[wraith frost]

@dreamy fox waht bout this

[cold cradle]

hmmm

not perfect but good enough i guess

[wraith frost]

they made 4 textures of bricks

[cold cradle]

wish we could put paths on bridges

[wraith frost]

its rlly weird

[cold cradle]

and flowers grow on paths correct?

like the dark dirt one

[tiny otter]

Yeah you can plant them there

[glass onyx]

Any ideas on how to place things when u have both river ends on one side ? 😔

[wraith frost]

Tsuki do sumin like this

[dreamy fox]

That’s better! Nice bEcause you have more island space! So much water can be kind hard to work with

[wraith frost]

if you as lauren said dont want to take the second ocean approach, make something like a sash

lemme make it real quick on editr

@glass onyx

ofc not the smily but the water you could do like that

[glass onyx]

That’s cute lol thank uuu

What did u use to edit it?

[wraith frost]

or just have them go symetrical

https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/

id just make sure they r about the same if you wanna take that approach

dont make em slightly different

or the same or different, chooose

[glass onyx]

Tyyyy

[wraith frost]

np

[dreamy fox]

Water/islands/oceans > land

[wraith frost]

yyyyy

big

🧠

hole island as land very smol 🧠

oh god

it took me almost like 15 - 30 mins to do the paving

how long is this watr and clifss gonna take

[cold cradle]

forever lol

i did a small part of my island and it took me so damn long

[wraith frost]

i cleared out all of my trees yesterday

litterly got 4 stacks of each wood now

got stung 3 times in a row cos i nevr shake the trees at the back of my island

[terse juniper]

Can we move where the river meets the ocean?

[wraith frost]

nope

[cold cradle]

no

[next cypress]

[terse juniper]

LOL

With the smiley too

[placid plover]

What do you guys think

Left part will be all fruit trees, right top residential, right bottom part will be city with playground market n stuff

[west root]

looks good to me

[wraith frost]

looks pretty sweet, dont forget tho that you can get permits, you may be able to do some cools stuff with tthat

like digging out dirt to make water for 2 hours straight, soo cool (thats gonna be me for the next 2 hours)

[cold cradle]

[sonic forum]

Is there an achievement for removing all the cliffs? I heard so but I want to confirm

[tiny otter]

1 or 2?

[cold cradle]

1

[glass onyx]

Tbhhhhh I don’t like the fence protecting the flowers 🤔

[quiet latch]

I like 2

[next cypress]

hm I like 2 better

[dusk cosmos]

2

[quiet latch]

Any ideas on what to do with my plaza/shops?

[cold cradle]

same, idk what to do

[quiet latch]

I wish I could move the darn plaza.

[fathom sonnet]

This might help

[errant ivy]

@quiet latch right?? D: wasn't until 48hrs in that i found out online that u couldnt. big sad

[cold cradle]

ooo i like that

[errant ivy]

@fathom sonnet omg i love the symmetry. im a sucker for things to be evenly spaced too hnnnngh

[fathom sonnet]

Ah i had to suffer slot due to this symmetry

I wish i chose the one map where one river mouth is south and one at a side

[errant ivy]

@fathom sonnet I FEEL U Dx

[fathom sonnet]

My map forces me to do so

And having building with uneven door size numbers droving me nuts

This is straight triggering

[errant ivy]

@fathom sonnet YAAAA aka the museum omfl

[cold cradle]

that would kill me

lol

[fathom sonnet]

Trying to put some dinosaurs to let ppl get distracted

[errant ivy]

THATS WHAT I DID LOOOL it works tho!!

i cant wait to see your island finished ahhh

[fathom sonnet]

Will take alot of time

Working on the place where im putting my home

[cold cradle]

what do you guys think of this area? i still plan on changing the bridge to stone, adding more bamboo, and adding white lillies around too

the heart pond is scuffed. i’m bad at terraforming

also i plan to add more japanese styled outdoor furniture

if you guys have any ideas i would like to hear them lol

[next cypress]

I think it's cute, I like the little polka dots of pathway lol

[fathom sonnet]

Ill help you with the heart pound

[cold cradle]

that would be amazing, idk how to make it

[regal jasper]

what would be intresting to go here

[cold cradle]

orchid, playground, monster/robot fight, race track/outdoor gym

huge garden

bamboo garden like i have above

[errant ivy]

@regal jasper im thinking a courtyard. so benches, fountain (if you havent placed one on your island already). but thats based on the fencing you've used

[fathom sonnet]

@cold cradle

[tender karma]

Terraforming mostly done. Only some corner smoothing here and there and then it's time for outdoor decorations

[fathom sonnet]

How big should it be

@tender karma nice

[meager vessel]

@tiny otter I'm really digging the handiwork of the stone and brick flooring
The arrangement really gives it a nice aesthetic

[regal jasper]

ill probably put the bamboo garden i dont wanna add another fountain cuz i got one but im just lost now haha

[cold cradle]

7 high, 7 across i believe

[viral geyser]

I'm having a total blockage on how I should do my town hall / plaza area. Do you guys have any saved pics of really cool town hall designs?

[cold cradle]

no @faint jungle

[fathom sonnet]

@cold cradle

[cold cradle]

ty

[wind wind]

Is the right move to just not use diagonal bridges because you can't build paths near them?

[twin summit]

made a huge 2-part maze on my island

[cold cradle]

thats amazinglol

[fathom sonnet]

Nice

But I kinda want my island to be useable later

[twin summit]

That’s exactly how I’m feeling rn 😅

[cold cradle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/488062441243279370/695380469134393394/image0.jpg

think i fixed it?

@fathom sonnet what do you think

[fathom sonnet]

Like it 🙂

[cold cradle]

ty for your help!

[fathom sonnet]

If you do it smaller it looks meh

The bigger it gets the better but you dont have room for that

Np!

[haughty grail]

hi i have another question. when terraforming can you make new lakes or do you have to build off of existing water

[cold cradle]

you can make new ones

[haughty grail]

awesome ty

[cold cradle]

how big are villagers houses

[green bluff]

4 wide 3 back

[delicate ibex]

suddenly had the great idea to make the houses in my island look like they're in a mountain!!

[cold cradle]

woah thats awesome

never saw that

[delicate ibex]

i might have to move the left house to accentuate the cliffs in between, but i like it so far regardless

ty!!

[hardy zodiac]

Can someone link me to the island layout creator

[cold cradle]

its in pinned

[hardy zodiac]

How do I see pinned on mobile?

[cold cradle]

here

[unique creek]

spent the whole morning grinding for those nova lamps and heading off the villager black market to auction off marshal lol

wouldn't believe the extent people would pay for marshal haha

[solar shoal]

ive created a masterpiece

[viral geyser]

I love it!

Does anyone know the dimensions to buildings? Like Nook's Cranny and stuff

@cold cradle is the cafe / retail there because it was datamined to have something like that or is it just there for funsies?

[solar shoal]

cafe isnt in the game

mable shop is though

[cold cradle]

ya https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/488062441243279370/695373167283404840/image0.jpg

shes to the right of town hall

no cafe tho (yet!)

hope they add it in update

[solar shoal]

hope they add gyroids too

[cold cradle]

ya :(

[delicate ibex]

@hardy zodiac Click this

[half niche]

Oh wow. I love your layout @cold cradle

[cold cradle]

thanks. im changing most of it LOL

i wanna give my villagers space

i might have 6 on the town hall island, but with "front yards" lol

[next cypress]

I'm like 90% sure that when they add the cafe, it will be put in the museum. They did that before in past games, and there's that totally useless staircase to nowhere in the museum that I bet is just waiting for an update to make it go somewhere

[fathom sonnet]

I see the third hedgehog sister move into their store to make it as big as the nook store and the museum

[simple sage]

can i see somebody’s map that’s progressed for inspiration?

[slender ferry]

How do you unlock terraforming?

[simple sage]

how far are you right now?@slender ferry

[woven drift]

I need some ideas with how to design a river on my island

Something simple, yet elegant

[simple sage]

also i love those benches could you make/sell me some 🥺@tropic surge

[formal peak]

Oops

[tropic surge]

@simple sage 🌘

[simple sage]

@tropic surge can i come to your town it looks amazing?

[slender ferry]

@simple sage nooks cranny, Able sisters, and museum all built. 7 animal residents, one more coming tomorrow. 1 star rating, no KK Slider. Ladder and vaulting pole unlocked

[proper owl]

the natural look looks great

[simple sage]

@slender ferry get yourself to a three star rating, and kk will come, after the concert you get the island designer app. after that, you spend nook miles to upgrade the app to get waterscaping, cliff scaping, and different paths

[woven drift]

c;

[slender ferry]

Is there a resident minimum for a 3 star rating or do I just need to plant a lot more flowers and have more outdoor decorations?

[proper owl]

the more you have the easier it is i believe, but starting with 7 you can get it

[woven drift]

It will help with more when u get 10 all together it will improve

And the more furniture u place it helps

[finite viper]

It's not much, but I love my home on my brother's island.

Also the photo I just sent is a little old.

[tropic surge]

@simple sage If time comes

[finite viper]

I updated it a bit, I should get a screenshot of how it looks now.

[woven drift]

What’s the requirements for 4 and 5 stars?

[dreamy fox]

Where do you get those food stands ? @woven drift

Thank you! it looks amazing

[proper owl]

i wonder how many trees i need to keep b/c i have only 100 left and isabelle keeps telling me to plant more ahhhh

[cobalt orchid]

Here is what I am thinking for my island! I am trying to think of things to do around the town hall 🤔

[brave dagger]

Anyway to change the ground under the nooks shop or will it always just be green?

Cant make a path to the door without a gap of green 😦

[green root]

Alrightguys I need some tips

What should I put in the yellow star, houses or the campsite, and if I it the campside there shpils I replace the circled houses and put them where my house used to be but a bit lower

[cold cradle]

campsite i think

[green root]

I'm also thinking of putting the campsite where the 3 circled houses go

Aaaa not too sure the more I look at it the more ideas I get

[cold cradle]

might be smarter bc behind town hall it might be covered

up to u

[green root]

I dunno tho

I'm prolly gonna put the houses behind town hall since I could put more houses there, as I don't know where to put the 2 loners if I put campsite up there

[next cypress]

I feel like maybe the houses and/or campsite could go on the top or right half of the map, seems a little crowded to have it all together in one corner

[cold cradle]

how big is players house

[green root]

Wdym

I'm not too sure about top right @next cypress since those are super elevated, and construction to move all the houses and add the stairs would be a bit and costly

Cost is not my main concern though s

It also seems far away from town hall

[next cypress]

Yeah could be a bit costly but also, what else are you gonna do with the other 3/4 of the map? Can spread them out along the whole right side or something

[urban venture]

Which fence is this and how can I get it???

[green root]

I know I should do something with that side but the terrain isnt too good

@urban venture I don't think that's a fence

I think those are customized log steaks

[cold cradle]

those are customized log stakes?? maybe im not for sure

[green root]

That's what they look like to me, a fence would make them connected

[urban venture]

But I looked at the DIY for the stakes and it didn’t seem customizable??

[green root]

Looks pretty customizable to me hence the top left cornern

[next cypress]

It's customized log stakes yes

I have some of them, birch wood is one of the custom options

[urban venture]

Oh cool!

[green root]

Anyways back to the island thing since this got us off topic

I should put houses else where but the terrain is awful for building but pretty as scenery

[cold cradle]

terraforming is an option

[next cypress]

Can always change the terrain

[green root]

Not unlocked yet and I like how it is since it's cool looking

But that's always an option and I'll look into It once I unlock it

[next cypress]

Yeah, maybe you can leave some of it all natural and wild but cut out some space for a neighborhood or something like that

[urban venture]

If you’re unsure, you’re better off waiting until you unlock terraforming

[next cypress]

Yeah, agreed. I'd hold off on moving buildings around til you have terraforming either way

hard to truly get a feel for it before then

[green root]

How long till i unlock it

[timber robin]

During quarantine, which ment for me that I couldn’t meet with my friends, I was wondering how we could play the boardgames we played during the meers we had... And when I was playing around with the custom designs it hit me, and with the power of discord voicechat the animal crossing boardgame night was born!

My island in 6 days

[loud raft]

Can I get some map ideas? I'm not sure I exactly like where my house is or the 3rd tier on the top left. I also have flowers and pathing on the whole bottom left to right

[molten halo]

anyone have star, heart, spade, diamond water ponds i can peek at ?

[cold cradle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/488062441243279370/695380469134393394/image0.jpg

heres my heart one

[green root]

Blue where you should move your house
Green where you should make look more natural @loud raft

[cold cradle]

i agree with the house change

[loud raft]

Thank you!

[cold cradle]

but the natural thing is more up to you. i think the river is perfect fine as is

[green root]

I hate line rivers, natural way to go imo

They gotta be rough and jagged to show erosion and that water carved that shit

[urban venture]

house change is fine, you can leave the river

[loud raft]

I'm not bothered by the rivers, I couldn't really find a way to line up everything

[cold cradle]

depends on the layout of the town, if his houses were scatter i would prefer a more natura llook

[loud raft]

I need to figure out where to put the rest of the shops and meuseum i hate where everything else is, the town hall and houses are fine to me

[cold cradle]

are u planning on using pathing

[loud raft]

Yes, I have a fair amount laid out currently

[urban venture]

personally i like putting the shops close to the airport, more ergonomic when you have visitors that wanna see your shops.

[cold cradle]

you could make a main road kinda thing

[urban venture]

main road connecting the shops + town hall

[cold cradle]

ya i put able and nook next to town hall

[urban venture]

that'd be cool

[cold cradle]

i can show you mine if u want

[loud raft]

so like

here?

[cold cradle]

this is without any decoration

still a huge work in progress, i plan to add 4 more yards/houses

and a park/fountain are

area

[loud raft]

is that how you would put Shop / Able?

thats the path i have going around basically

[cold cradle]

yes

check my video

[fallow wing]

can someone show me around there island for ideas

[loud raft]

Yeah I like that a lot actually

[real vessel]

Nearly done ;w;

[kindred shoal]

server outage

i cant even upload my map

[cold cradle]

looks awesome

[real vessel]

Ty it took forever lmao

[rose trellis]

hey everyone, a few days ago I did this little map for my island, wanted to hear some of your thoughts to see how I can make it better or if it's good enough as is

[fallow wing]

can someone show me around there island for ideas

[cold cradle]

looks good, are you planning on having an orchid?

[loud raft]

coolsville has the same layout as pen 👀

[rose trellis]

like, a place to put all of the trees?

[green root]

@real vessel Jesus christ can I see that in person

[cold cradle]

fruit trees but ya

[rose trellis]

yea, that's the "coconuts" zone

[real vessel]

Sure let me open my gates. It's not 100% done but the idea is overall complete lol

[cold cradle]

i see

i really like it

great use of space

are you planning on making it like foresty theme

[loud raft]

What other than your house doesn't cost 50,000 bells to move

[rose trellis]

thanks, I wanted to space things out and didn't want to keep zones feeling empty (apart from the beach)

I'm planning on keeping a simple town theme, kinda like the original Animal Crossing

[cold cradle]

nothing i think

[fallow wing]

can someone show me around there island for ideas

[cold cradle]

youre welcome to visit mine tho its not done yet ;P

[fallow wing]

k whats the code

[hardy orchid]

Same

[cold cradle]

one moment

[woven drift]

Someone give me ideas I beg you 😭😭😭especially the river

[kindred shoal]

heres my map i made a garden maze, still need to rearrange the houses for the animals

[ionic mango]

Ugh I’ve spent probably around 10 hours terraforming my island so it looks kinda symmetrical but I want it to look natural again lmao

[cold cradle]

pls dont pick up anything on floor :)

[kindred shoal]

😄

[grave kestrel]

@cold cradle #690093605821480980

[cold cradle]

;p i thought cause they asked to visit in here i should just send it in here

my bad

[kindred shoal]

what do you guys think of the garden maze?

hmm

[cinder quartz]

Im making a multiregion island: farms in the south, city center and shops in the south east, riverside village in the north east. My house in the middle with a pond and surrounded by water. No terraforming used for now. West is my next objetive, maybe I do a Japanese region or some hot springs.

[kindred shoal]

that leads to the hosue

[teal karma]

anyone have a picture of their entrance from the airport? i cant figure out what i wanna do with the area and looking for inspo o:

[cold cradle]

i like it, its different in a good way

[woven drift]

I was going to come to your town but can’t find code now

[rose trellis]

same

[cold cradle]

ill dm

[rose trellis]

ok, thanks

[woven drift]

Who keeps deleting??

[cold cradle]

its pretty barren rn, once everything is complete it will look way nicer bc i just unlocked terraforming yesterday

[fallow wing]

im coming

[slow flare]

guys, is it possible to re-map the rivers?

[cold cradle]

you can change the exits to the oceans

but everything else yes

[slow flare]

@cold cradle how can i do that?

[tiny otter]

I wish there was a cherry blossom fence to match the street lamp 🙁

[cold cradle]

have u unlocked terraforming?

[slow flare]

not yet

when?

[cold cradle]

how many villagers u hav

[slow flare]

7

[cold cradle]

you need a 3 star rating

talk to nook/isabelle

[errant ivy]

the trees in the fencing r money trees keke

[tiny otter]

Will they grow?

[errant ivy]

yes! i found out not too long ago that trees grow in fencing!! doesn't need spacing

Wait wrong pic

[tiny otter]

Ooo cool

[cold cradle]

@cinder quartz love the pic, i would customize the bench to be the same color as the fence tho! i think they have it in that color

[hoary sluice]

is it possible to change the river openings where it goes into the ocean? ik i should prob ask in questions but wanted to see if anyone in here has done it with their map

[tiny otter]

Nope

[cinder quartz]

Sorry this is what I wanted to share. This is the riverside region I made. Tell me your thoughts :)

@cold cradle great idea! I will

[errant ivy]

@cinder quartz waaw lovely! i like that mini heart u did with the pathing

[hoary sluice]

rip to not being able to change my river openings

ty for the answer

[left saddle]

@hoary sluice there will always be two openings and no unfortunately u cant close those

[loud raft]

I'm about to open my gates, can someone come look at my island and give me any other ideas? I moved the shops right by the town hall

[cinder quartz]

@errant ivy thx! Glad you noticed. I wanted to make an irregular sand path and the heart-path was a must haha

[hoary sluice]

@left saddle not trying to close necessarily but more like “move them” but what you said makes sense

[rare kindle]

For the peeps struggling with the bridge limit, here's an option ^_^ terraform a dirt "bridge" and then have continuos path and save 98,000+ bells, and no bridge limit to hit xx

[loud raft]

I moved these idk if it looks good

[full marten]

Does this look good??? IDK
CREDS TO TIKTOK LOL

[cold cradle]

oo i saw that tiktok

that looks so good

[errant ivy]

@full marten i love it~ u should host virtual weddings there gahaha 🤭🤭😂

[mild wind]

maybe just more flowers or something but that looks awesome

[cold cradle]

you should put an archway on top

[woven meadow]

Has anyone reset their island after being a few days in? Really not loving where my res services building is

[onyx junco]

Northern Hemisphere, Native Fruit Pears 🍐, April 2nd. KICKS is here. Nook shop & Able Sisters open. Asking for donations to my incline. DM me for code! 🥰

[mild wind]

i haven't personally but if you're not that far in you can if you want

You can move most of the stuff later on though and just terraform it to make it look like the way you want it to

[full marten]

thank u guys and for the advice 🥰🥰

[mild wind]

and ye an archway would look cool

[mossy sluice]

any heart design ponds i can check out??? just got terraforming

[woven drift]

Can i see your neighborhood designs with "fenced yards"?

[cold cradle]

i can dm u code if you wanna come visit and check my heart out

[woven drift]

Not liking the new river in the middle - how do you think I can change this up guys??

[cold cradle]

ii also have fenced yards

[mild wind]

Make it straighter maybe

[errant ivy]

also i need ur guy's advice, since i know y'all are r experts with aesthetics. what table should i use to display the single square items? 😵 sometimes cohesive with the dinosaur display

or should i leave as is for now haha 🤔

[woven drift]

@mild wind straighter where??

[mild wind]

I think there is a stone type table you can use maybe if you want some fossil type feel

Oh I thought you were also talking about at the sides

[cold cradle]

stone stool

you can place it on there i think?

[woven drift]

Nah I just don’t know what to do with the middle part at the top

i need active advice for how to set up my villager houses

[cold cradle]

not 100% sure

[errant ivy]

omg i can wtf im actually mind blown rn

ur awesome gabs HAHA

[pliant hedge]

Can anyone give me tips on how to get my house lined up in a straight line?

[woven drift]

i kinda want them to have their own lawns and whatnot, im just trying to figure out where/how to organize villager houses

[errant ivy]

• and toomuchskill gahah

[lavish wigeon]

What's the best way to start designing the map

I'm close to unlocking terraforming and have a couple of ideas but I'm just not sure how to start it, ygm?

[woven drift]

The blue was where the river started before - what do you think? Change back or keep?

[cinder quartz]

@woven drift sure

[median nebula]

finally finshed collecting villagers!! and my map skeleton is done 😄

[pliant hedge]

I can’t tell if the steps of this house will come up to the path way like the others ugh

[glass onyx]

Hmmm.... thoughts? I just got terraforming so I’m still trying to map things out

[cinder quartz]

@errant ivy maybe the most simple table. The wooden table

[next cypress]

@lavish wigeon Imo, start with writing down a list of ideas and your concept. Do you want a fully symmetrical planned island with all right angles? A totally natural one where you mostly work with your original landscape? What areas do you want - a neighborhood, a public beach area, a cafe, a bamboo garden, something else? Then just kinda start sketching out where you could put the things you want, and narrow down the details as you go

[cinder quartz]

@glass onyx it looks cool but a bit unnatural. Don't mind me, Im a natural things fan

[woven drift]

@glass onyx how you supposed to get to the 6 houses on the right???

[cinder quartz]

Jumping

[glass onyx]

Little stepping stones

^^ jumping

[woven drift]

Woahhhh not my style

Do the animals jump or would they just be restricted to that area?

[median nebula]

any suggestions on mine? not really sure what to add

[cinder quartz]

Why dont you put the museum in the middle of the lake and make its access by stepoing stones. Add some waterfalls and epicness grabted

[median nebula]

well that pic is not eright

[glass onyx]

Good question I’m not sure but they teleport anywhere even if there is no bridge so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[median nebula]

this one

[glass onyx]

@cinder quartz ooo sounds cool!! Ty

[errant ivy]

@cinder quartz i went for the stone stool bc i had a bunch of rocks in my storage already 😂🤭 thank you for your reply tho!

[lavish wigeon]

@next cypress alright cool, I'm kind of doing that mentally but I guess doing it physically is a good idea too. Is there a tool people are using to do this or are they just drawing it from scratch? Also how is everyone moving things? One by one? Or everything out of the way and then moving it back to where they want it? I've foolishly not been thinking about design as I'm going so there's a lot of things I need to move..

[cinder quartz]

@errant ivy that will look cool to

[next cypress]

there's some planning tools in the pinned posts, I just used pen and paper personally, didn't want to have to plan out every individual pixel. Especially since it's hard to know what it's gonna look like up close in the actual game

For houses and stuff I just left them where they were and moved them into place once I decided where they'd go

[vapid spear]

I just got terraforming and I’m trying to get some good ideas to use my flowers

[mild wind]

those seem pretty good

Just next to walkways, houses, etc is stuff that just makes them pop

[cinder quartz]

I used a semi fenced style for the city center houses. Like if my neighbours had a backyard.

[vapid spear]

Just next to walkways, houses, etc is stuff that just makes them pop
Do u prefer the houses together or far from each other?

[cinder quartz]

And this is the main square

[restive roost]

do you guys have any ways of motivating yourself when building cool things? because i find myself going “yeah this was a bad idea” when i’m like halfway through a project.

[vapid spear]

me_irl

[dreamy fox]

You gotta just do it. And stick with it and take breaks

Always take breaks and look at your work before continuing

Gives me a head ache sometimes lol

[rose trellis]

I personally just map stuff out beforehand to make sure that while I'm doing that I don't regret it, just gotta do something you're proud of

[dreamy fox]

Also know your limits... me finding out we can only have 8 bridges/inclines

[rose trellis]

hold up, can you only have 8 bridges and inclines total or 8 of each?

[cinder quartz]

You will always see ideas you will think are better than yours, but what matters is you made a cohesive island with your own work

[woven drift]

Hmm

[restive roost]

ok ty y’all cuz i was debating starting a massive theme park project but i think i’ll go ahead with it now

[woven drift]

Is it bad I’m thinking of making crop circles now?

[vapid spear]

Also know your limits... me finding out we can only have 8 bridges/inclines
wait really???

[dreamy fox]

hold up, can you only have 8 bridges and inclines total or 8 of each?
@rose trellis 8 bridges and 8 inclines

[vapid spear]

oh god

[dreamy fox]

Yes.. I had to redo everything

I have 5 villagers stranded

HAHAH

[woven drift]

Ripparoni~

[rose trellis]

oh thank god, if it was 8 total I would've had to rethink my map all over again

[tall pier]

Hi, I just got paths and Terra forming today and I'm not going to lie I don't know where to start to even go about changing my island. Is there any advice or tips any of you could give me?

[dreamy fox]

They should let us do more 10 villagers.. should have 10 inclines or 12

Nah you’ll be fine! My map is a bit crazy I wnated each villager to be special but.. yikes

[woven drift]

Tweety, I’d visit islands and get ideas lol

I wanted cliffside housing by a river, so I made ittttt

Just stacked the houses behind each other

[tall pier]

Would seeing my map help?, I have the houses pretty much where I want them, I'm just not great at the whole asthetics part.

[restive roost]

@tall pier in all honesty, i look at the direct and the trailers and get inspired and recreate it but with my own flare so that it isn’t straight up copying

[woven drift]

Maybe. 😄

[wet cliff]

I don't have enough recipes and furniture to do what I want yet 😩

[tall pier]

@restive roost Thanks, I thought that because I loved the look of inside the museum and wanted to try replecate it outside but wasn't sure how.

[woven drift]

I know I want a garden and an orchard so imma make each of those

[woven drift]

Is the limit for bridges and inclines 8 each or 8 all up

[wet cliff]

Each

[late trail]

In order to start designing my island, is it good to move everyone's house to a tiny corner first?

[rose trellis]

Is the limit for bridges and inclines 8 each or 8 all up
@woven drift it's 8 each I believe

[woven drift]

Your map looks like a flipped version of mine 😂 and we have the same initial map

[dreamy fox]

8 each y’all. 8 each

[woven drift]

My houses are all in the top left

[dreamy fox]

Someone pin this. Important facts

[restive roost]

@tall pier this isn’t really specific to your map but what i started with is just making a nice enterance from the airport to the town hall. maybe put fruit trees and paths or a plaza area with a fountain

[wet cliff]

We need like a comprehensive terraforming guide

[late trail]

Could someone answer my questione plzz?

[woven drift]

You can have a maximum of:

8 Bridges
8 Inclines
You cannot:
Move where your rivers open to the sea
Move your Resident Services Center

[wet cliff]

It depends what u wanna do ravenn

[tall pier]

@woven drift I wanted like a housing estate kind of vibe over there, I still need to move a few into that forming though.

[wet cliff]

Some do, some don't

Takes a day to move each building tho

[molten halo]

I moved all my shops and houses onto the sand while I terraformed my island, wanted everything to be very high up. Anyone want to suggest water placements ?

[tall pier]

@restive roost Thank you, that might be easier than trying to imagine the intire layout as a whole, it's alot.

[woven drift]

@late trail I recommend it, you don’t have to

[late trail]

Yeah, I don't have the money to move everything rn. I am not time travelling rn but I probably will if I decide to do it

[woven drift]

It makes it easy to decide what you want to do later because your land will be free to mess with

[dreamy fox]

You should try to get like 10 mil before you do terraforming

I’ve already wasted 3 mil

[glad lance]

i planned out my basic layout, hopefully it looks like a mouse

[dreamy fox]

And I’m 1/2 way

[woven drift]

It looks gorgeous

[dreamy fox]

The houses and bridges add up and im@not even using the most expensive bridges and inclines

[glacial barn]

Right

Unless you duped then it’s a looong and expensive process tbh

[woven drift]

My favorite incline is the wood staircase 😆

[dreamy fox]

I like the blue wood one matches my blue fences

[glacial barn]

I bought the grass one today 😂 but that’s only because it actually looks good where I want to put it

[dreamy fox]

The wood is nice though

[rose trellis]

even if you don't want to move a lot of things around, building bridges and inclines is expensive as hecc

[dreamy fox]

Yes.. and then second guessing have to waste 2 days demolish and rebuilding

[glacial barn]

I’m trying to get KK to come and Isabelle told me to get more bridges and inclines in and i was like ... u gotta be kidding

[dreamy fox]

128k x 4 I had to demolish and rebuild. Crying

[woven drift]

Yep. My sis and I go to each other’s islands and pick each other’s fruit and sell to make the bells lol

[uneven eagle]

lol tfw the only incline you need for your theme is the 98k one or the 168k one

[dreamy fox]

Turnips. The key to be a millionaire

[woven drift]

True, very true.

[glacial barn]

Yeah I got the grass, it actually looks pretty, much better than the wooden ones tbh

And it’s cheaper so y’all

[woven drift]

It’s all situational 👌

[glacial barn]

yak*

[dreamy fox]

aesthetics

[uneven eagle]

might use grass in some spots

[dreamy fox]

[glacial barn]

Oh btw do any of you know the amount of inclines/bridges needed for KK to come to the island? Bc isabelle told me I needed some today

[uneven eagle]

no

[dreamy fox]

Kk has to come first..

[glad lance]

i wish we could make above ground tunnels one day or suspended bridges

[woven drift]

For my housing development the wood is heckin perfect

[uneven eagle]

just 1 bridge

[dreamy fox]

Before you can even get teraforming

[glacial barn]

Oh ok

Lauren u can put bridges and inclines down before kk comes

[dreamy fox]

Dude I know!! @glad lance

[uneven eagle]

literally take all the furniture youve got in your house, throw it randomly outside, magic 3 stars probably then pick it all up after lol

[dreamy fox]

You can put down 1 bridge

Wym?

[glacial barn]

That’s what I did lmfaooo

[dreamy fox]

OH you can

Your right..

[uneven eagle]

Yeah I was like hmm wonder if this will work bc I was sick of waiting 😂

[glacial barn]

Lmao

[dreamy fox]

... I thought I was limited until I got teraforming

[ivory condor]

Its 8 inclines max right?

[glacial barn]

Nah I don’t think so

yeah

[glad lance]

i think you also need a specific number of flowers

[dreamy fox]

Yes

[glacial barn]

Yuh I got plenty of flowers

[uneven eagle]

you're forced to place a bridge for the story so

[dreamy fox]

Light posts help too

[glacial barn]

I demolished mine right after

[dreamy fox]

Also clean all the weeds

[ivory condor]

Dammit

[glacial barn]

Bc I didn’t want the wooden one

[uneven eagle]

imagine having the diy for light posts

qq

[dreamy fox]

Is there one?

👀

[glacial barn]

Yeah I did that the only thing Isabelle wants me to do now is the infrastructures

[uneven eagle]

i hope lol

[glacial barn]

Like I got trees, items, and flowers outside so I’m good

[uneven eagle]

I finally got the color I wanted for the mini ones

[dreamy fox]

Ohh

[uneven eagle]

Idk if I wanna like chuck all my villagers in a desolate corner or just work around them and move as I go to save bells lol

[dreamy fox]

I need to build beach/playground/ food area/ pinic spots then I should be done

[glacial barn]

Ooo I wanna do that once I get terraforming lmao

[cinder quartz]

I wish the museum outside was a bit more elaborated and didnt look like an ancient crypt

[glacial barn]

Hopefully tmrw or next day

[uneven eagle]

I spent like 2hr making a simple set of like 3 waterfalls by my private beach LOL I couldn't decide what Iwanted

[dreamy fox]

Mood

[uneven eagle]

I would love if they added a plain incline though omg

or a dirt one like past games

[cinder quartz]

Am I the only one that buys turnips to eat them and remove trees faster? Haha

[mild wind]

Just make your whole island water besides for one spot in the middle

Protection from covid and it basically is deserted

[cinder plaza]

Can I pick up paths quicker 🥺

[mild wind]

you must like clean villagers if you are having an issue picking up baths

Oh paths

🤷

[mortal frigate]

everyone is talking about a lot of dough, so how does everyone make their money?

[olive crag]

[gritty geyser]

Zen garden inspo please!

[left rose]
