@obsidian slate how much space should I leave around my house? 3 tiles or 4

[obsidian slate]

Gosh I’m not sure. I’d say 4 just incase there’s some items you want to put outside that require more space.

[cyan violet]

because I will mesure it xD

one tile is 16x16

4 should be good

[amber garnet]

I wish the paths didnt sepperate by that one small sliver of grass lol

[vital drum]

That’s how I had it before

[cinder plaza]

Honestly since double paths don’t line up with player houses that way, I just line it up from the side

[amber garnet]

The paths could blend and butt up against each other

[cinder plaza]

I’m curious as to why most people chose to have the exits on different sides?

[cyan violet]

what do you mean?

[cinder plaza]

Rather than have both river outlets in the south

[cyan violet]

I found that the front beach area was too small for me

if I had 2 front rivers

[amber garnet]

You cant move river exits or make new ones

[cyan violet]

ye

[cinder plaza]

Ahh that’s a good point. They are pretty small

[amber garnet]

For me it makes it way easier to connect to a mid map exit from the top of the map

[cyan violet]

ye

[amber garnet]

Instead of taking it all the way to the bottom of the map

And the random end that you get without the river exit looks weird

Because it just literally stops at the beach line

[cyan violet]

^

[amber garnet]

What I was super bummed about is that we cant cross non river gaps with bridges

[frail haven]

i wanted to cross cliffs lol

[cyan violet]

I find it more annoying that the bridges and inlines max out at 8

I would need 10 at least

[frail haven]

is it 8 total?

or 8 each

[woven drift]

So this was supposed to be a temporary spot until I could live on a hill. Now I can't decide because it turned out so cute

[frail haven]

8 each I guess, I have 10 total

[cyan violet]

so pretty omg

@frail haven jap 8 each

[dreamy fox]

8 each I guess, I have 10 total
@frail haven 8 inclines and 8 bridges

[smoky marlin]

I have a river exit on south and other on east. I plan to make the city center between the rivers with all the shops, museum, camping and decorations and make 4 diferent neighourhood in the other parts (4 houses at west beach/ 2 houses at a canyon / 4 houses at riverside and me and my wife at northwestmost hill)

[woven drift]

Making progress on my entrance from the airport !

[plush rampart]

Any ideas where i can move this house?

[dreamy needle]

Perhaps this part?

[hushed hull]

does anyone have an example of how they put their villagers houses in mountains using terraform?(-:

[plush rampart]

Hm there is this place :/

[mild vapor]

can I show a prison here?

[past tapir]

why not?

[thorn rapids]

i'm really intrigued to see this prison

[past tapir]

@mild vapor

[cerulean belfry]

Lmao now everyone wants to see the prison

[weary lichen]

Hey guys

is it possible to show a custom design on wall outside?

[dreamy fox]

Can you put bridges here?

Or does it have to be on grass?

[cyan violet]

no

grass only

@dreamy fox

[alpine kiln]

had the same issue, so I had to rethink my plans

[dreamy fox]

But on the green part above the outlet it’s okay? Even if it’s reallllly close to the sand? As long as it’s on the grass we good?

Smh we should be allow to place on the sand

[crude smelt]

does anyone know if there are 3x4 bridges? the wooden log bride seems to be 2x4

[dreamy fox]

Ohh curious also 👀

[agile stag]

How do you guys usually deal with wanting diagonal fences

[dreamy fox]

that seems hard. Im OCD so if it’s not smooth smooth I’ll cry

[queen nexus]

can i pay someone to do my town for me

lol

[cyan violet]

@crude smelt they all require 4x4

but some look less wide

[crude smelt]

hmm.. rip

[restive mist]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EUsGCBTU8AIIzqX?format=jpg&name=large ....Any way I can get rid of that half block? I can't place a path or custom design there

[queen nexus]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EUsK0hGUEAQ7lt0?format=jpg&name=large any ideas?

should i just bring the cliffs forward to where i'm standing

[vagrant needle]

Build higher inclines around the museum? @queen nexus

[queen nexus]

thats the end of the map basically

I was thinking i'd get rid of the staircase to the left

level up that part of the map

either make the museum on the tier 2 or make it tier 1 with a waterfall and stairs around it

Build a tier 3 around the museum or something

[pliant hollow]

Any ideas on what I should put in that big open space?

[uneven falcon]

for those using brick staircases and bridges...what path are you freaking using, none of them match

[proud pendant]

You draw your own path

[light marten]

How far away do houses have to be away from bridges? Have to move stuff around because houses apparently block the pathway to the bridge

[cinder plaza]

I don’t know what to do with my museum 😩

[clear summit]

What have you guys done with your campsites? Need inspiration

[supple remnant]

@clear summit me too I’m on here looking for that 😂 show us ya campsites !

[dapper dune]

@cinder plaza put it somewhere on the right side like below the waterfall

[wintry oxide]

here is my current plan

probably not possible but its a dream

more of a rough outline than a plan

[onyx adder]

hi how many squares for our house??

[wind wind]

I believe everything there is possible, Naeole

[short anchor]

Damn that plan looks sick. Maybe add stuff here and there for the end of the pathways

Like gardens or other activity places

[weak lagoon]

Guys can i make it like this? I dont want river

[humble root]

yes i think so

[cyan violet]

you can do even less @weak lagoon

you can close it to the sand level

[weak lagoon]

Oh thats a relief

I thought I couldn’t

Thank you

[upper surge]

Anyone gots some tricks or nice Diy for some nature stuff? Would like more things to decorate with

[shell plume]

could anyone come to my town to give me some critiques/dideas?

ideas

[woven drift]

Tips on filling up a map? Need advice

[surreal cobalt]

Current map layout. Debating if i should make like a market/stall area where my location is

Isabelle be flagging. I need my 5⭐

[upper surge]

what does 5 star reward?

[covert orbit]

Golden Watering Can iirc

[cyan violet]

golden can and special flower

[upper surge]

ah

[shell plume]

does anyone have any ideas or tips for filling up a map

[surreal cobalt]

Whats the special flower

[cyan violet]

lily of the valley

[simple verge]

first draft!

it's going to take me forever to do this lol

[wintry oxide]

nice

[cyan violet]

this flower @surreal cobalt

[wintry oxide]

I know ur showing the flower but I like that area as well

[surreal cobalt]

Oooooooh

[cyan violet]

@wintry oxide i know haha

[rain widget]

I got my first today. They are nice

[weak wagon]

God I wish I could move my resident services cause it‘s at an annoying spot

[shell plume]

^^^

[tidal void]

my creativity could never

[cyan violet]

same @weak wagon

[sonic lily]

I hate how you can only move one building at a time, I don't want to time travel but also if I wanted to move all my houses it would literally take over a week

[cyan violet]

just timetravel one day back

then to the current day

easy

[weak wagon]

@sonic lily so true

[sonic lily]

yeah I think thats what I'm gonna do

but I won't go to nook or do any of the daily stuff

[cyan violet]

who cares

everyone plays how he likes to play the game

[sonic lily]

no I don't have anything against time travelers lol it's just not my style of play

[orchid imp]

so to move houses and TT, you should go back a day? i've always just kept going forward

[weak wagon]

people who have smt against TT 🤡🤡

[orchid imp]

is it better to go back?

[cyan violet]

there is no better in TT

its just different

[next cypress]

It's up to you, depends how much you care about being synced up with real time/date

[sonic lily]

moving stuff will be expensive though so I will probably have to do some stocking up with turnips

I don't have terraforming yet though so I have time to plan it out

[next cypress]

if you're just TTing to get houses moved and then going back to real time, then yea you prob wanna go back after so you're synced back up when you're done

[sonic lily]

but rn my houses are like all slightly off from being perfectly aligned and it's killing me

[weak wagon]

I am kinda frustrated like at the airport part Idfk what to do

[cyan violet]

well airport is alright

but the townhall is annoying

[shell plume]

do you guys prefer 3 width or 2 width sidewalks

[cyan violet]

2

[simple verge]

@sonic lily im the same, so now. im using weeds and i drop them to make sure everything is lined up

[cyan violet]

because then you can make everything symmetrical

[next cypress]

depends, I have 2 3 and 4 in my town

varying it up looks nice imo

[cyan violet]

the tiles are 16x16

[simple verge]

im going to be moving for like a week and a half lol

[next cypress]

fwiw I also don't care much for total symmetry

so it depends what type of look you're going for

[simple verge]

yeah i wish i was like that

i get ocd lol

[cyan violet]

same

[simple verge]

my friends island is freestyled and it looks nice tho

[shell plume]

i dont like the total symmetry

bland imo

[dreamy fox]

[olive kayak]

can u terraform river mouths?

[next cypress]

nope

[olive kayak]

rip

[sonic lily]

@simple verge ohh thats a good idea I should've done that haha

[amber garnet]

Im working on the two major projects that I had in mind. After that I'm at a loss

I wanted a cool looking setup for my museum and I wanted a huge tulip feild

[fickle wyvern]

my island looks so barren without any furniture so i keep adding waterfalls to make it look cool lol

[woven drift]

What’s the best way to make my island look full besides furniture and flowers

[next cypress]

water features like lakes, rivers, ponds

tree groves

add fencing and paths to fill in space

[woven drift]

I have a ton of flowers but I’m thinking about removing most of them because I feel like it’s overwhelming But I’m scared it’ll downgrade my island star rating

[fickle wyvern]

if u don’t got terraforming yet i just say keep whatever stuff u got until u have 3 stars so u don’t mess w the rating yknow

[next cypress]

Yeah I mean you only really have to get the 5 star rating once for the golden can and maybe a few of the exclusive flowers, I'm just gonna get it for a couple days and then go back to the way I like it

[woven drift]

Damn that’s all you get reaching 5 stars?

[next cypress]

Yeah

[woven drift]

That lowers me feeling like I need to get to it then

[alpine kiln]

what are the exclusive flowers

[woven drift]

But it’d be nice tho

[alpine kiln]

Are there Jacob's ladders?

[next cypress]

yep that's the exclusive 5 star town ones

[alpine kiln]

oof

[next cypress]

they start showing up randomly when your town is at 5 stars

[alpine kiln]

are they also just one color in nh

[weak wagon]

I don‘t wanna be rude or so but pls ask that in #game-help-questions❓

[bleak gulch]

Lol

[next cypress]

Seems like a good spot yeah

[woven drift]

@cyan violet Yeah, if you want a more secluded feel which I quite enjoy

[cyan violet]

no idea what to do with the area between the resident services and river tho

[woven drift]

Maybe a little bazar, or a park

Thinking about relocating my home too

[main root]

Has anyone got any inspo for desighning islands?

[woven drift]

Like images or just in general inspo?

[shell plume]

all of the above

[cyan violet]

go on reddit

there is plenty

or here

[dreamy fox]

Tik tok

[main root]

Its more about layout i know things i want to implement but im not sure on how to layout everything

[woven drift]

I like watching AustinJohn on YouTube and his island is very pretty

[next cypress]

put in:#map-showcase has:images in the search bar to see all the images that have been posted in this channel

[dreamy fox]

Use the map design thing?

To layout or plan

[main root]

Thats what I've done so far

[woven drift]

So I have an Idea but its rather long winded, anyone wanna listen? Haha

[main root]

Sure

[dreamy fox]

Sure

[woven drift]

Alright so! My idea was to make multiple other accounts on my switch and build theres houses up to have the one main room to max size then make a different little shop in and in front of each house and make a little downtown area to seel all my stuff

[main root]

Thats cute abit like what i did in nl

[woven drift]

I freaking loved new leaf

I spent way too much time in that game haha

I was really disappointed when like 80% of the shope were gone in nh

[cyan violet]

well they are probably coming back

at least the garden shop and kicks

only the hairdresser wont comeback

[main root]

Leaf will be here for a special event on earth day

[dreamy fox]

Hmm you don’t think it will be to many houses? We already have 10 villagers + the stores and campsite

[cyan violet]

maybe he will stay @main root

[main root]

The cafe will definitely come. Probably in the museum as its in the code

[dreamy fox]

I haven’t even placed down my second players tent because I have no space..

[cyan violet]

just delete it

[shut kestrel]

Anyone got a 5* island I can visit

[dreamy fox]

True but a friend uses the account so. It’s just sitting in their inventory not really an issue but I couldn’t imagine adding more homes.

[amber garnet]

Ok anyone that has general easy time with design ideas could you pm me I would like to talk about a walkthrough of my island for some input and some new ideas

[woven drift]

@main root I like you’re map!

[main root]

Thanks started working on it today when i unlocked all the paths and landscaping things

[flint osprey]

Would it be hard to recreate something like this

[woven drift]

All depends on your current layout

[cyan violet]

the buildings are way bigger ingame too

[woven drift]

If your rivers mouths aren't already close to that, then you can't really

[flint osprey]

It’s kinda similar just mirrored

[next cypress]

Yeah if you just mirror it you'll be able to more or less recreate it

[flint osprey]

Ok thanks

[smoky marlin]

Hey, what is the soze of Able Sisters? 4x7 or 4x5

?

[queen nexus]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EUsud9MUcAA1IST?format=jpg&name=large

What do you guys think

[amber garnet]

This is mine atm

[woven drift]

mine atm

Whats the site to plan your island?

[fallen cobalt]

eugeneration.github.io/happyislanddesigner

[timid kernel]

@queen nexus i think the top left and between the heart and the museum stick out at places where you may be able to do something with. i know the top left has a pattern all around it so maybe it looks better in game vs the mini map. if i wanna be reallllly nitpicky i think the heart looks a tiny bit smushed and maybe try to make it a bit more rounder? seems like a cool map though!

[brisk gust]

@flint osprey its possible except for the lake mouths and beaches since you cant edit them

[timid kernel]

speaking of the mini map i wish the mini map would have the option to showcase more markers.. like if you have a collection of flowers all in one place it'd have a marker for that

[wanton valley]

Anyone knows any tutorial regarding terraforming? Like how to make certain shapes etc

[brisk gust]

lune i would just practice first person

[next cypress]

Yeah just playing around with cliffs and waterfalls and paths and stuff gave me a lot of ideas

[timid kernel]

@amber garnet seems ok so far! it seems a bit all over the place other than the left hand side so far

@woven drift i like what you got so far, houses are a bit spread but forms a nice barrier outside of the shopping districts

[woven drift]

yeah I’m gonna fix the houses and stuff soon

[timid kernel]

i'm on day 6 and waiting for my town hall to be finished.. i want terraforming :v

[woven drift]

just need a plan lmao

Prob gonna move like 2 houses uphill and then keep 2 downhill

[wispy wolf]

Is it necessary to have a third tier cliff? :o

[timid kernel]

my first thought in my mind would be for bugs and fish that spawn up on a cliff section but third cliff? idk

[amber garnet]

If you didnt catch what I said earlier. I'm looking for someone to talk to about a walkthrough and a boice chat about ideas. And thoughts. Because once I'm done with my meusem I'm out of ideas for my town

And I dont want to just copy other people

[next cypress]

I don't think anything requires 3rd tier. You can't go up there or put water on it or anything anyway

[timid kernel]

@amber garnet i didn't catch that sorry, i was scrolling up at people posting pics of maps and stopped at the 3 pics in a row, gotcha, that's a good idea

[amber garnet]

@next cypress technically its 4th teir if you count the ground as teir 1

[next cypress]

oh yeah depends how you number it

[simple verge]

does it cost money to terraform

[amber garnet]

No

[simple verge]

wow, so once i get it it's a free for all?

that's sick

[amber garnet]

Within limits

[simple verge]

o

[amber garnet]

But yes

[hollow ember]

am I off to a good start?

[amber garnet]

You cant move resident services and you cant change existing sea exits

And you cannot make new ones

[timid kernel]

@hollow ember very nice, i like the look of all of that, +1 bonus for the beach

the fencing in spots like that make me feel a vibe of my local beach

[hollow ember]

Thank you! The fences were definitely inspired by some of my favorite local beaches so I'm glad you like that detail

[woven drift]

I am once again asking for your space themed islands for inspo😊

[formal peak]

I thought I could maybe ask you guys here. I am desperately searching for items I could use for a cafe, mainly the shield some people are using that looks like it's from a restaurant + a few cool chairs and tables. Any ideas? o3o

[timid kernel]

all i've seen so far are like eastern inspired islands, town-city vibe islands and nature vibe islands (also 2 fantasty vibed ones! very cool and uses a ton of pastel color stuff) @woven drift if you find anymore themed ones i'd love to look at it

[woven drift]

i visited a space themed one but I lost their name haha

[timid kernel]

must have been pretty cool 🙂

[woven drift]

i need suggestions on my entrance anywho

on the left you can see the beach so idk how to feel

[amber garnet]

I want parts of mine to feel like there parts of the forest and only a few sort of main city feeling areas

[timid kernel]

first thing that sticks out is the path, you could probably do something else that ties in the purple and yellow but holy i love the vibe when you instantly enter your island, very good start

[woven drift]

I've been looking for paths but nothing good :/

[weak wagon]

Idk but I feel like my island is so tiny and when I see smb else Island I am like WHOOOOAAA WHY TF IS IT SO HUGE does smb else relate?

[timid kernel]

for now i think it's ok but i think trying to find a path that tie in those two colors + whatever other space themed colors there are

[viral geyser]

Does anyone know the dimension of bidges?

[woven drift]

You can't overlay custom paths

[hollow ember]

I think I'd prefer it if those spotlights lined the side of the path instead of being on top of it

[timid kernel]

the fencing seems fine but there may be a better one

[hollow ember]

I really like the details on the side though!

[woven drift]

added a path from my house to the other side, and moved my house to the top of the hill now all I have to do is move villager houses if possible

[timid kernel]

ah! that'd be nice @hollow ember

that pathway is super nice, probably from a playing standpoint too 😄 @woven drift

[woven drift]

spotlights can't be placed on the side because of the fence 😩 struugle

[timid kernel]

i don't wanna be THAT guy to tell you to move everything back one..

[reef lantern]

oh boy... just made the unfortunate discovery that my resident services is literally 1 tile off of alignment with my airport. it's right as you walk in too. any ideas to distract from it? honestly considering storing all my stuff with a friend and resetting lol

[timid kernel]

but maybe you should considering it's only the front part of your town and not the whole island and see if you like it better? the spotlights being a liner for your path could be epic

although you'd probably need a lot of spotlights xD

[woven drift]

@reef lantern make path thicker

it’ll even out

i ordered like 200 LOL

[dreamy fox]

im new to the discord but uhhhh heres my map :))

[viral geyser]

Does anyone know the dimension of bidges?

[woven drift]

Oo I like that layout

you make me wanna redo mine lmao

[dreamy fox]

a lot of the "paths" are dirt patches under plants and stuff too

the tiny weird ones lmao

[woven drift]

the heart river!! so cute

[dreamy fox]

tyy

[timid kernel]

@dreamy fox cute map! i'm guessing the right hand side will be housing stuff like trees and what not? seems very barren but the mini map has limited markers

[dreamy fox]

the right hand is mostly forest

im gonna put orchards and stuff

[timid kernel]

i can see you designed over there very well with the choices of terraforming

[dreamy fox]

the left hand is all housing

[timid kernel]

very cool 🙂

[hollow ember]

@reef lantern mine is just a bit off center too... I pretty much just surrounded it with flowers and fences to make the area look a bit more intentionally designed

[woven drift]

Is this too pink?

[hollow ember]

I just posted a video a few minutes ago if you want to see what I mean

@woven drift are you dead set on having those rope fences there? Might be worth seeing how it looks with the lights lining the path instead of the fence

especially since the water and crescent moons already act as a barrier

[amber garnet]

So anyone interested in doing a walkthrough with me on my island to help me with some future ideas.

[woven drift]

Idk about lights cuz like you could jump in kinda deal? Maybe zen fence?

[reef lantern]

@hollow ember ooh i like what you've done w yours, i'll try with some fences and cliffs etc and see if i can kinda mask it lol

[sleek sundial]

Why is planning an island so hard?
I mean, it's so hard to even visualize what I'm thinking 😭
But this channel is a blessing, kudos to everyone's creativity

[hollow ember]

alrighty, good luck! I'd love to see what you decide on!

[woven drift]

I'll update as I go

Honestly I’d say less planning and just go with your heart and do whatever and then as you progress forward you will be able to move the buildings

And design it to however

But if you’re just now starting off just put where you’d think is best rather than planning 24/7

[sleek sundial]

No I mean, I unlocked terraforming today, but damn, it's like the possibilities exploded in my head lul

[woven drift]

Ahhh

[zenith knot]

did you guys tear apart all your bridges to remake your whoel town?

its a waste of bells for destroying them : (

[woven drift]

Yeah the only advice I have for terraforming is just doing it tbh

That’s how I get my creativity

[hollow ember]

I've sort of felt like there's so much freedom that it's hard to find a place to start

[woven drift]

Do you have to reupgrade buildings after you demolish them? @zenith knot

[zenith knot]

is that a smartass comment?

you tell me?

[timid kernel]

i hate how the game pretty much forces you to throw items all over to get the correct rating and get terraforming

[woven drift]

No I’m being serious

I haven’t demolished buildings dude don’t be mean

[hollow ember]

nope, you don't have to reupgrade!

[woven drift]

I’ve thought about it and I was scared if you’d have to reupgrade

Thank you

[zenith knot]

what buildings would you demolish in game

[next cypress]

You can't demolish buildings

[zenith knot]

^

you can only move

[woven drift]

Oh

Well sorry im a bit new to the game so I didn’t know

:/

[next cypress]

you're all good

[zenith knot]

mb i thought you were being rude to me earlier

hard to tell over chat

i just got done talking to someone being like that so i assumed something incorrectly mb @woven drift

[hollow ember]

@sleek sundial my advice is the same as Cosmic's, it's overwhelming at first but once you force yourself to just start something you may find that everything sort falls into place on its own

[sleek sundial]

Yeah that makes sense

[rain widget]

I kinda need something on the upper area on the left but that’s what i have so far

[errant ivy]

heart pond! (: qr designs not mine

[sleek sundial]

@rain widget wow! Can you send a pic of the museom area please?

Museum

[rain widget]

I dont know if i have the update picture cause i made some changes yesterday lemme check

[zenith knot]

@rain widget that looks good

[summer depot]

Hello everyone! Since I’ve been doin game nights and fishing contests every night, I wanted to show you all my events area 🙂

Here I host the fishing contest and other games such as Hide N seek or bug catching! I love how it came out.

Before every game I have the contestants pick a number 1-8 I will then spin the wheel and who ever gets the number or closest win prizes like money or items.

Every game starts when I ring the bell on the table 3 times.

[forest thicket]

Am I really gonna have to either make a new bridge or scrap the road project???

[unique creek]

Map finally finished~~~

Museum area~

[rain widget]

@sleek sundial

[unique creek]

The stars on the edge~

[woven drift]

I love rearranging my map, the only annoying part is moving flowers

Wish I could just bulk move it

[severe idol]

My island so far

[flint surge]

@unique creek why is ur town just so perfect

[woven drift]

Holy shit that road is crisp

[unique creek]

@flint surge haha thanks~

[woven drift]

I love that road design

[unique creek]

just chillin in a resort~

[flint surge]

Looks great!

is your island 5Star?

[unique creek]

yup

[untold wren]

Could someone help me design my island

I have no creativity

[woven drift]

You’d likely have to pay someone bells

[untold wren]

I dont mind

[woven drift]

I’d help but I’m as well trying to design my island

[untold wren]

thats fine

[dreamy fox]

@unique creek ohh do you have some of those outdoor bamboo-y things in your catalog?

[unique creek]

no those are craft

[dreamy fox]

Oh the bamboo fence/pole things are crafted? What about the wooden sauna?

[unique creek]

thats the cyprus bathtub

[sleek sundial]

@rain widget it's so cool, thanks for showing me!

[rain widget]

Thanks. It looks better at night tho the tiki torches made a big difference

[sleek sundial]

Yeah I believe you
I have no lights yet, and it shows

[rain widget]

The floor lights are also nice but i don’t have a lot of them

[lucid solar]

Is it possible to adjust the bottom level of land where it meets the sand, or is that stuck where it is?

[rain widget]

Nice use of waterfalls

[untold wren]

Where should I put my house

[stray bronze]

how do i post images

[woven drift]

level up

I might have to move villagers houses 2 times

[cedar forge]

@stray bronze the nintendo switch gallery lets you post pictures and video on social media, that's what i do

[woven drift]

That is nice af

[proper geode]

Thank you :D

[woven drift]

You’re welcome! How long did that take you? @proper geode

[spiral dawn]

Made a lil desert area ^-^

[proper geode]

The terra forming took forever lol, took me like a days worth

[woven drift]

I stay up on average like 2 days designing my island and then I sleep

[proper geode]

Same !

[woven drift]

My sleep schedule is ruined I don’t get tired until 6 PM

[proper geode]

I'm the same, my sleep schedule died the moment I started playing @woven drift

[woven drift]

I want to have my dream island it’ll just take a while

Flowers are a pain to move

[proper geode]

I've only just started with flowers so I am yet to experience that lol

[summer sundial]

Flowers are a pain to move
@woven drift ugh im gonna move most of my flowers today to my new breeding area

The pain

[woven drift]

Same I have to move my flowers and on average I have about 500 flowers

😭😭

[rain widget]

[olive crag]

I hate moving flowers

that’s why i’m making sure i’m done w terraforming before I make that mistake again lmao

[surreal cobalt]

I wanna make a video of my town but idk how to make something longer than 30 secs

[olive crag]

I hate that custom paths don’t shop up on the map

[woven drift]

I’d deadass reset my island rather than move flowers bruh

[olive crag]

lmao I thought about resetting but we’re too far in !

[woven drift]

I only reset once

Was at 4 stars and now I regret

[olive crag]

oh wow :/

at least you are good at decorating and stuff!

[woven drift]

I honestly just decorate the best at night

[woven drift]

I low key wanna makeover my entire island

Where do I even start

[hardy fern]

I kinda want to spread out my island a bit

[wanton valley]

any tips for making rivers more natural?

[wintry oxide]

curves

[hot cloak]

yes

and not symmetric

[hardy fern]

What do u think about my moat

[mild dock]

I have a lot of empty space on my island, and I'm not sure what to fill it with. Does anyone have any recommendations? I am thinking of a forest in one area but not sure how I'd make that look good without it looking like I just threw a bunch of trees there to fill space lol

[wintry oxide]

forest spa

campground

nature walk

[mild dock]

ouh i like the nature walk idea - i could make a cute litlle boardwalk type thing

thank you! :)

[wintry oxide]

heres my planned map

[woven verge]

A little Zen Area maybe or a little picnic spot

[hot cloak]

how will u ever make that tho

[worldly birch]

feedback?

[mild dock]

Zen area would be cute too - I see alot of pictures where people have little "photo areas" and stuff - maybe I'll incorporate that

[wintry oxide]

woah

[unique creek]

wow lol

[mild dock]

looks great Pup!

[wintry oxide]

looks good

[gusty briar]

That looks nice

[hot cloak]

i havent seen a map with river endings at those 2 spots and the town hall in that spot

[wintry oxide]

my town has the rivers ending in those spots

[mild dock]

it exists Rias i have a similar map haha

but my second river mouth is on the left

[worldly birch]

I'm glad y'all like it I was second guessing myself a lot

[mild dock]

so basically that map, but flipped

[worldly birch]

[somber kindle]

that looks great

you can have a rest/picnic area with tables and benches maybe

[silver sorrel]

it just takes up a lot of space lol

[mild dock]

^^ looks like it took alot of time haha - props to you, pup!

[worldly birch]

yeah around 2-3~ hours because I changed it about 100000 times

I'm excited for the flowers to spread out

[humble abyss]

@hot cloak Can I visit? I live in Arizona

[solemn spruce]

So creative

[unique creek]

island is open~ DM for DODO

[wintry oxide]

nice

[woven verge]

OOOO THAT LOOKS COOL

[mild dock]

i feel that lol, i redid my whole map yesterday and it took so much time and i don't even think i like it now. i regret all of my decisions lol

[woven drift]

feedback?
@worldly birch Gorgeous WOW, how many individual pattern save slots did that require??

[wintry oxide]

what fence is that in the background @unique creek

[unique creek]

what fence is that in the background @unique creek
@wintry oxide Zen fence

[worldly birch]

@woven drift all I used was the terraforming tool

[worldly birch]

I haven't time traveled and I just unlocked it a couple days ago

[wintry oxide]

thank you

[humble abyss]

@unique creek Holy shit, nice terraforming!

[unique creek]

thank you ~:)

🙂

Finished map btw

[iron kernel]

@unique creek 👍🏼

[woven drift]

That is ALOT of path

[solemn spruce]

Amazing @unique creek

[worldly birch]

grass is illegal

[humble abyss]

@wintry oxide Your planned map is so nice

[worldly birch]

that looks real neat

[unique creek]

DM for DODO

[wintry oxide]

Thank you, it wont be made for a while as I just finished flattening my town and that took almost 3 or 4 hours :p

[wintry oxide]

wow that looks really good 👍

[olive crag]

I think i’m going to go for a more natural look

[unique creek]

Resort part XD

[amber garnet]

Man see things like that make me feel like I am suck at desighning my island lol

[strong nexus]

Should i put the houses next to each other, or do i scatter them throughout the island

[hot cloak]

how about something in between

keep em relatively close but save space for decorating later

[strong nexus]

How many spaces tho?

2?

[hot cloak]

hmm

well depends on what ur going for

like a city look?

[mild dock]

here’s my house right now! gotta move nooks away from it but I think it looks okay haha

[hot cloak]

or natural

[mild wind]

That looks awesome

[hot cloak]

kept my house simple

[mild wind]

That still looks cool

[hot cloak]

ty ty

[hot cloak]

i like it

[woven drift]

ignore the broken pixels I dropped my switch 🥱

[hot cloak]

i prefer the natural village look :))

kek

[pliant hollow]

@unique creek your an artist

[unique creek]

@unique creek your an artist
@pliant hollow thanks XD

[woven drift]

What do I do if I want to restart over my island and shit but I don’t want to reset and keep my progress

[next cypress]

You can just use terraforming to clear everything and move all the buildings to one corner I guess but you can't get a new island with different river mouth/town hall/etc locations

[woven drift]

that sucksss

like I’m seriously considering it bc I feel so stuck rn and I want it new but I don’t want to throw away all my hard work

[novel carbon]

finally a chat where I can shine

wait dangit I can't send a photo of my map yet ;-;

[wanton valley]

just terraform honestly!

i don't think that resetting is worth it

[woven drift]

yea I’m gonna do that bc I’ll regret it

[wanton valley]

i mean unless your river mouth is really terrible but i would think really hard before assuming the river mouth is the biggest problem

[woven drift]

nah I’m just very lazy and flowers are the main issue lmao

[wanton valley]

just pick something you would like to build and start from there

anything

[sacred parrot]

What process did y’all use for your island? I can terraform now so I thought of moving everything to a corner then flatten the island, then build the cliffs and rivers how I want them then move everything to a new spot

[wind wind]

started building from a corner and worked off of it

[woven drift]

Does anyone here has the nook s cranny upgraded?Dm me if you do.

[wind wind]

but I've barely started my terraforming

[hardy orchid]

map so far, plan on developing it a ton more

[novel parcel]

My town plaza

[fiery ravine]

What are those banners called?

[novel parcel]

Market place decoration

[mild dock]

they're from the pocket camp items :)

looks good Pan!!

[novel parcel]

tyty

[woven drift]

Where do you get those banners?

[mild dock]

in the offers section of pocket camp app

you link it and then the items will show up at nook stop under nook shopping

[surreal cobalt]

Im just one item away from finishing my towns layout

The rose bed for my fairy habitat

[glass onyx]

I’ve got the rose bed :0 if u can provide mats

@surreal cobalt

[half prairie]

Current work in progress for one of the quadrants of my island

[twilit lava]

Nice

[novel carbon]

@half prairie cuteee

finally finished the Sakura path on my island ;-;

[half prairie]

Woah

I don’t have the patience to do path designs like that

[novel carbon]

My map is a w.i.p. so--

it took ages ;-;

[half prairie]

I give props to anyone who does that kind of stuff

[novel carbon]

I plan to make another one in the top right corner as well :) I'll send pics when I finish

thank you! I use the path as more of a garden, it holds all of my hybrid flower

[fluid crown]

How can i make this island more pleasing and better like how some of you guys have it lol

[open arch]

is there a subreddit for map inspiration? more towards the actual map layout

[novel carbon]

@fluid crown I reccomend spreading out your buildings more instead of putting them in one area. it makes the island more balanced

@open arch not sure actually, maybe someone in #game-help-questions❓ would know?

[fluid crown]

do you have a map layout i can go off of?

[glass onyx]

Map opinions? Just got terraforming so I’m just drawing things out but 🤔

[placid pulsar]

Looks good, what do you plan for the empty area above the plaza

[novel carbon]

@Xezool#1072 sadly no

@glass onyx the hearts and moon are so cute! though I think it's a bit hard to get to the houses in the top right corner

[glass onyx]

Olathe a park? Not sure yet,,, maybe a cafe,, @placid pulsar

[placid pulsar]

A park/garden could look really good there

Maybe add a patio-like area if you want more cafe

[glass onyx]

@novel carbon I’m planning on doing that and they get to their houses with stepping stones or re arranging everything so the villagers are 5 on one side 5 on the other along the beach right when u enter

Ooo that would b cute

[novel carbon]

@glass onyx ahh I see I see. Also for the empty space, maybe a cafe or more of just a general hangout for villagers and friends would be cute :)

[ivory salmon]

i destroyed my island, it is now a flower farm lol

[low dagger]

Just finished the crescent moon :x

[woven drift]

my plan atm sorry if it’s hard to tell lmao

@low dagger that’s awesome wow

[open arch]

i just had the perfect idea, since my island has a river making the shape of half a heart, im gonna continue it and make an infinity heart

[surreal cobalt]

Fairy Pond finished c:

[open arch]

it would be funny if someone made their island this shape:

[shell plume]

that would be great

[dense horizon]

Woah-

[pale hare]

I literally want to move everything in one corner to terraform and then rearrange, but that will takes ages without timetravel

[tender karma]

Did a bit more terraforming and started decorating around my house. What do ya think?

[cyan violet]

wow lucky you and your townhall spot

[remote field]

Wait is there a point when you can edit the rivers???

[summer sundial]

idk what to do anymore

[abstract coral]

I'm having a hard time figuring out where to start with terraforming. Moving all the neighbor houses to temporary spots is going to take forever

[open arch]

yes you can but i don't think you can move the bridges you put

[abstract coral]

Gonna take like a month to do it all without time travel between houses, bridges and ramps, probably closer to 5 or 6 weeks

[summer sundial]

i just got rid of all my rivers

[pale cipher]

my museum

[frigid frost]

so cute

[woven drift]

What’s some good paths to use to make my island look more modern?

[unique shell]

Anyone one else insane enough to move everything over and over by 1 spot to hopefully get it looking all simetralcal

@unique shell yup all the time

[terse juniper]

what map designer do you all use?

[next cypress]

pen and paper 🤷‍♀️ was easiest for me

there's some tools linked in the pinned posts

[terse juniper]

thank you ):

:)*

[woven drift]

organizing trees and flowers

do you guys destroy all your cliffs and start with a blank slate?

[opaque quest]

I am atm

[woven drift]

im in the process of doing that rn and its taking SO long

im scared tho i feel like im gonna mess it all up T_T

[opaque quest]

If you do you can always fix it

[undone imp]

I’m doing that exact same thing rn lol

[woven drift]

i mean like, theres no undo button or saving map presets

also i figured out that its best if u hit cliffs in a line cuz it breaks the entire block instead of just 1/2

so useful

[golden bison]

Terra-forming takes sooooo long, but worth it once you start to see the bigger picture

[woven drift]

kk ill keep going T_T

where do you guys get ideas for what u want to do?

like i don't even know what kinds of furniture even exist

is there a full catalogue?

[next cypress]

I just worked with what I had

[woven drift]

Can other islanders do terraforming on your own island? o:

im scared of that cuz what if i find something that makes me wanna change a whole section

in couch co-op maybe... nami

but def not online

lemme try

[next cypress]

oh well, that's part of the game. I expect I'll change stuff when new content comes out anyway

[woven drift]

that's true, nothing's set in stone

ahh oki!

lets see

ahh

okay so i think? only 1 person can terraform at once

but then again, my 2nd character hasn't unlocked terraforming...

but u can totally terra while playing couch co-op

[sinful wind]

Im thinking that i should destroy all my cliffs.. But im not sure is it good idea... (sorry for my bad english).

[golden bison]

My advice would be work from residential services outwards

[woven drift]

ah darnn, I was hoping that they'd allow people to be able to design other people's islands xD

oh yeah that would be nice but... probably a lil crazy too

[golden bison]

Or if you have a theme, go with that??

[woven drift]

@sinful wind a lot of us are doing that rn!

[sinful wind]

Hmm, maybe i should do it.

[golden bison]

I picked Sarasaland as my island (Princess Daisy - SML), it's split into four, so I've got 'four sections'

[icy wren]

Would it be weird for my island to be very square? Like I split it into 4 islands? With a moat maybe?

[woven drift]

that actually sounds fun

[icy wren]

Yeah I was watching someone's livestream and saw this island they visited and I kinda love it

[cosmic marsh]

I like but everytihng seems super condensed.

I do wish I put my villagers closer together I want more room for other stuff

[brisk sail]

can i visit anyone’s island? i wanna get an ideas lol

[left mango]

Mine Charlie

[brisk sail]

code? :3

[hasty surge]

That map is definitely unique. But something more beautiful to me would be what Animal Crossing even granted you in the first place, something more natural.

I like seeing what others work around with what they were given. I’m all for completely leveling your entire island then starting from there, but the windy roads and asymmetrical pathways is so nice, being lost

[surreal cobalt]

can i visit anyone’s island? i wanna get an ideas lol
@brisk sail you can come to mine. I finished building it

[brisk sail]

ooo what's the code?

[fierce mulch]

Does someone maybe have an idea how to get a more asian/japanese vibe in the fenced area? (the flowers are where octavians house will go to)

[surreal cobalt]

Ill dm you in 5 mins. Im time traveling to grow some flowers lol

[brisk sail]

okay 😛

[hushed hull]

Does anyone have an example of how they set up their villagers houses in a cliff type setting? Kinda like Greece?

[upbeat nexus]

Here's my island redesign! I can't wait to get a license. I tried to keep it true to the original terrain while still adding some cozy spaces. It's very rough, I'll tweak things as I go. As for trees, I got lazy and decided I didn't need to put them all down on here.

[desert storm]

@fierce mulch sand, once u get the path tool

[hushed hull]

I’ve seen it in a video of someone’s village tour but can’t find it again)-:

[fierce mulch]

@desert storm ah yea thanks

[woven drift]

nice!! I’m planning g out my island too but as I’m doing it @upbeat nexus

[next mural]

I’m having a hard time making my island feel “cozy” everything’s just so open
Anyone have advice on how to help this?? I also don’t like when things feel crowded so it’s making it hard for this to work 🥴

[upbeat nexus]

yea, I was going to do do everything as I went and then I realized I had already started to form a nice idea of what I wanted. I'm trying to put an emphasis on individual areas of the island

[golden bison]

@fierce mulch do you have Octavian? Please take him from me 😂

[surreal cobalt]

Opening gate

[golden bison]

@surreal cobalt beautiful layout! :o

[upbeat nexus]

@next mural if you already have a license, adding more cliff layers to your island or rivers to segment things off can work nicely. Keeping things naturally shaped and using lots of trees and plants can work too. Adding tighter spaces separating the more open areas can also help.

[fierce mulch]

@golden bison yeah i have him already, hes my favourite xd

[surreal cobalt]

The other one was outdated

[hasty surge]

@surreal cobalt super nice!

[next mural]

@upbeat nexus thanks 🙂 honestly this whole designing part is making the game much more stressful than enjoyable for me....some people just have that vision and I don’t ya know

[golden bison]

@fierce mulch aw, that's good! I wanted Baabara to move in and then he did

[brisk sail]

i'll come in a bit, when the code is up!

[golden bison]

@left mango I like the creativity

[hasty surge]

Oh that neighborhood layout 😮

Oh that neighborhood layout 😮

[surreal cobalt]

Gate open.

[left mango]

Thanks @golden bison I Just finished the first one

[upbeat nexus]

yea I'm trying not to overwhelm myself too much with it either, it helps to focus on little details you like and stick with those. Having a grand idea can be fun but focusing on it too much can make you feel like whatever you have currently is ugly.

[surreal cobalt]

Anyone wanna visit dm for code. Just be mindful of flowers n.n

[weak lagoon]

I want someone to take me into a tour in his/her island

@unique creek interesting layout. Would like to check it out later after im done with my tour lol

[vocal kayak]

Does anyone know for certain if you can place 2 stairways next to each other (Essentially to make it 4 spaces wide)? Or will it say that it's too close to another object?

[surreal cobalt]

How close we talking about

This close?

[unique creek]

@unique creek interesting layout. Would like to check it out later after im done with my tour lol
@surreal cobalt sure no problem

[viral geyser]

Which fencing do you guys think fits best with a suburb-y neighborhood?

[viral geyser]

For villager's yards and stuff

[surreal cobalt]

This close @vocal kayak

Or closer

[pine lily]

What do you think of my map plan?

[vocal kayak]

@surreal cobalt that's a really cool idea, but I meant like literally side by side (imagine should to shoulder), so that it's just a single 4 space wide staircase

[surreal cobalt]

This closest i got 2 stairs

Ahh shoulder to shoulder

Idk lol

[woven drift]

is this the best place to drop a dodo code if anyone wants to check out other islands? 🙂

[vocal kayak]

I'd test it but I gotta wait until tomorrow lol

[novel carbon]

@surreal cobalt your fairy pond is so cute n original omg

[surreal cobalt]

Thank you

[novel carbon]

also does anyone have any sort of map ideas? I have my Sakura paths set in stone but I'm unsure of what to do besides that

I was thinking of doing something like this

[dreamy fox]

@sharp sail are those garden chairs / tables recipes?

[surreal cobalt]

For starters you cant move the plaza unless you plan on working around it

[neat temple]

do people typically do paths 2 or 3 blocks wide? i feel like 2 looks too thin but 3 too wide and i can't decide ah

[novel carbon]

wait really? Dang it

[surreal cobalt]

I use 3

[dreamy fox]

Both, but mostly 2

[surreal cobalt]

And 2

[novel carbon]

@neat temple for mine I use 2

[bright lily]

I assume you folks would already know if you can place bridges connecting two cliff layers or if all bridges have to be on the ground level layer?

[late fjord]

Not being able to move the town hall is so upsetting : (

[neat temple]

my town hall is like 3 blocks from the beach

[novel carbon]

@late fjord agree

[neat temple]

its so frustrating LOL

[surreal cobalt]

You can put bridges on 2nd layers

[novel carbon]

my town hall is so close to the bottom and my oCD

[late fjord]

Mine is like 5 tiles from being centered on the map. I hate it.

[bright lily]

Does the river have to be on the same layer?

[late fjord]

Yeah it does Frou

[novel carbon]

Like wtf is this TOWN HALL

[vagrant needle]

Concept: stepping stones on two levels of elevation, with unreachable pillars

[bright lily]

Thanks for the help, still haven't done anything crazy when there's an event going on, hah

[surreal cobalt]

Hope that helps.

[neat temple]

i love the bridges like that! @surreal cobalt

[bright lily]

Have people played around with the custom design path tool? How does it work?

[surreal cobalt]

Same as a regular one

[bright lily]

Are you locked into just one pattern?

[surreal cobalt]

Just adding your own design

No.

i love the bridges like that! @surreal cobalt
@neat temple thank you!

[bright lily]

So it'll work like the usual pattern placing, except it works like a proper path?

[unique creek]

Just adding your own design
@surreal cobalt nice island can i swing by ilater?

[bright lily]

Nice nice, I hadn't found the answer to it anywhere so I'm so glad I got it here, thank you!

[surreal cobalt]

@surreal cobalt nice island can i swing by ilater?
@unique creek ill show you mine if you show me yours (;

[unique creek]

yeah sure lol

[surreal cobalt]

Someone disconnected in my town. Kicked everyone out lol

[woven drift]

anyone wanna come visit my island, give some recommendations maybe

[surreal cobalt]

Good, gives me time to make this pathway that i forgot

[woven drift]

@surreal cobalt omg i love that waterfall x bridge concept you got goin on !!

[earnest wraith]

I was just about to say the same!

[woven drift]

im going to have to steal it ... hehe

[earnest wraith]

It’s not much, but I’ve started terraforming! I need to move the museum, then move Nook’s where the museum is, super frustrating. >_>

[woven drift]

That looks so lovely!! Looks great so far

[earnest wraith]

Kinda frustrated that my town hall center isn’t exactly lined up with my pier D: and wish I could raise town hall...

[woven drift]

you've got this!!

[earnest wraith]

Thanks!~ I know it’s nothing compared to the awesome stuff people are already making but I’m putting this island together slowly, bit by bit c:

[woven drift]

i wonder if they'll let us move town hall at some point later

[surreal cobalt]

Heres a better quality

[earnest wraith]

Beautiful!!

[woven drift]

this makes me so jealous 😭

[unique creek]

wow XD

[dreamy fox]

@surreal cobalt where do you get the fortune cookie stand?

[glad lance]

i really wish terraformimg becomes easier because trying to lay down new cliffs is hell

[surreal cobalt]

Linking pocket camp

[dreamy fox]

Ohhhh

[earnest wraith]

I’m a little irked by not being able to round off a 2-block river end

[dreamy fox]

Thanks

[woven drift]

little forest home before i demolish everything and start from scratch

[surreal cobalt]

I’m a little irked by not being able to round off a 2-block river end
@earnest wraith my issue with my entire map

[earnest wraith]

Cute! I’m also eventually relocating mine from the beach to the top of the map in the woods, I want my French chateau aesthetic ❤️

Yes someone who understands XD

[woven drift]

yesss i really want to live in some kind of "foresty" area

[surreal cobalt]

Don't get me started on pathways on corners

[earnest wraith]

Y e s

Two words: bridge pathways

[surreal cobalt]

Yyyeees please

And plaza

This sht right here.

[pine lily]

It's infuriating

[high sundial]

Ooh

[surreal cobalt]

Hella cute

[crude aurora]

Thanks!

[high sundial]

For me bottom left

[dusk cove]

Top left imo

[shadow flume]

I unlocked waterscaping today! I parted the red Sea to get to my secret beach

[woven drift]

Is it true you only get lily of the valley flowers by having a 5 star island? cus i have 3 of those now

[surreal cobalt]

I picked top left for mine

Yes Vo

I don't have 5 star but thats what i was told

[woven drift]

sweet thanks

[crude aurora]

@woven drift most important is river outlets, plaza placement, and airport placement. Those cant change :c

[woven drift]

should I add a cliff in this blank area?

[surreal cobalt]

Hm might look to small

[woven drift]

Maybe if I remove the 2 tees

Trees*

[surreal cobalt]

Id put a picnic there where youre standing

Might look cute. If you got a qr path that resembles a picnic blanket. Some food baskets and cakes and cupcakes

[brazen lagoon]

Anyone got an island I can come check out? I need inspo

[thick sentinel]

HEY

id love for you to check mine out

i’m very proud of it

[plush knoll]

Created my own wooden floor design lol now time to design it going the other direction 😻

[cinder quartz]

I want to make: a theme park (big), a normal/little zen garden and a creepy house/cemitery in the mountains. Where would you place them guys.

[plush knoll]

Lol you guys like my pink flowers?

[rugged gulch]

my town hall is so close to the bottom and my oCD
@novel carbon what does that hav to do with oCD

@plush knoll wowww

i really like the first one!

[woven drift]

okay ngl i thought destroying all my cliffs was going to take long but

i can kinda take a whole section to the base fairly quickly, like <10 minutes per square

its kinda fun too!

[unborn vault]

I spent a lot of my time playing yesterday removing cliffs and water. I really don't mind destroying cliffs but the water is waaay more annoying imo

[cloud cove]

How my Island is going by now, I don't know where to locate the shops and the other things tho

[unborn vault]

This is one section of my island! It’s gonna take days to move all my villager’s houses x(

Makes me sad that custom paths don’t appear on the map

[cloud cove]

@unborn vault they can

[high apex]

i know! it sucks that they dont appear even tho theyre made using the path tool

[cloud cove]

if you put one of the in-game paths

then use your custom one on top

it appears

[high apex]

what if theyre transparent paths tho

[cloud cove]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

idk

use the dirt path? or sand maybe?

[high apex]

not a bad idea honestly

i want my villager houses to have a small rock thing infront of them but idk what to do about paths

[cloud cove]

well

[high apex]

this is one of my best parts of my island! it looks better around 5pm

[cloud cove]

you could use the sand

as some kind of zen thing?

[high apex]

also this

thats not a bad idea honestly

do paths affect town rating?

[cloud cove]

not sure

they all cost the same so if they do it's the same always

btw

did you make those stones paths?

[high apex]

i found them on reddit! i can share the creator id

[cloud cove]

oh ok

they look rlly cool, and they give me an idea

[high apex]

heres the creator id if youre wanting to use them, theyre really awesome MA-8321-3694-3130

[cloud cove]

thx

Yep!

It does stack with the normal and "custom" ones

[unborn vault]

Oh cool! All the paths show up the same on the map right? Or is it different?

[cloud cove]

the in-game paths?

aka not made by fans?

[earnest wraith]

Is there any way to create a corner waterfall...? :/

[cloud cove]

Nope

[unborn vault]

Yeah, like a dirt path or a stone path would look the same on the map?

[cloud cove]

yeah

it always looks grey

brown*

[woven drift]

YALL HELP ME I AM STRUGGLING W/ THIS STAR

[cloud cove]

which i rlly dislike

[earnest wraith]

Dangit! Thanks anywho

[unborn vault]

I getcha, makes sense why they stack then. Thanks for the info!

[cloud cove]

why don't i get any cool villagers ;-;

[earnest wraith]

What do you need help with specifically about the star?

[woven drift]

curved edges are not helping this star work tbh

i might have to do like...... corners

im having issues getting it to look

uhh

not stupid

LOL

[earnest wraith]

Symmetrical? XD

[woven drift]

i want to put my museum there

[hasty surge]

@woven drift how much work did it take to get that kind of villager lineup? Lmao

[woven drift]

YEAH THAT TOO

too much work tbh

and way over 500 tickets

[unborn vault]

Ahh, I love Dom! First villager that shares my birthday.

[cloud cove]

i just want a crocodile and a wolf

[earnest wraith]

Might I suggest moving it to the top left corner...? Maybe it’s an illusion but it looks like you might have a little more space to work with over there. Also remember you may want/need inclines.

[woven drift]

tho i did get raymond on my own and not through a trade, which im proud of

[earnest wraith]

I really want Beau or one of the male wolves :/

[woven drift]

hmm

yeah it might actually look better on left side

[earnest wraith]

I have WAY too many Normal and Peppy villagers haha, I need a couple crabapples.

[unborn vault]

I have a friend who got Audie randomly, slightly jealous tbh

[earnest wraith]

It may balance out the map a bit more

Love the heart btw c:

[woven drift]

thank u

its my pride and joy

[earnest wraith]

My partner got Kidcat as a starter

[median nebula]

does anyone have any suggestions for decorating this map layout, etc what to put where. I have completed the rivers, bridges and roads, but im at a loss for what cool things to make in the blank space.

[unborn vault]

The heart is really lovely! I was thinking of doing something similar for a flower garden/bee farm for a while now, now I have inspo!

[cloud cove]

YOU CAN PUT. 5. BRIDGES?!?!

[cloud cove]

6?!?!?

[median nebula]

i have 7 now @cloud cove its slightly outdated

one log bridge up by the river source

[dry cradle]

i thought 8 bridges and 8 inclines were max

[cloud cove]

what-

jesus christ

[median nebula]

but yea please let me know any decorating ideas because i am not good at this

[cloud cove]

sad, my creator almost had a 69, but instead it was 68 😔

[median nebula]

for resident themed decorating, heres my villagers

[fair yarrow]

Okay really bad rough sketch, but here is my idea for terraforming my island. I am going to have 4 districts. District A (Top Left) will be my camping site and my flower garden. District B (Top Right) will be my Orchard with a river down the middle. District C (Bottom Left) will be residential district. Finally, District D will be my shopping and my museum area. It’ll also feature on a island in the middle.

[woven drift]

U HAVE THE DREAM VILLAGERS

[median nebula]

yes its my dreamies. i grinded hard for them lol

[woven drift]

you deserve it holy shit

[cloud cove]

dream?

[vapid spear]

https://twitter.com/paulovinm/status/1246170371486658560?s=21 I started to decorate my island, any thoughts/suggestions?

[woven drift]

his villagers are highly wanted by ppl @cloud cove

[cloud cove]

ah

I got Marina at least

[fair yarrow]

No Flora. Bad Yelp review. (Lmao joking.)

[rigid void]

I like the look of my map so I doubt I'll change the layout too too much :V

[dapper dune]

@vapid spear try to get more things for the playground area by the elephant slide

[rigid void]

I'm about to get one of my dreamies!! (Coco)

[unborn vault]

I’ve seen a buncha people with Marina, was she a common find on the mystery islands?

[median nebula]

if anyone wants to come say hi to them, 9R0J7

[woven drift]

Only dream villager I have is Audie

[median nebula]

its 2am though

[unborn vault]

That’s where I found her for my island

[rigid void]

she's one of my dreamies I want Marina so baddd

[vapid spear]

@vapid spear try to get more things for the playground area by the elephant slide
@dapper dune Oh I already ordered, by tomorrow I’ll put them

[cloud cove]

i think 2 others i have may be also dream ones, but i dislike them idky

[dapper dune]

@vapid spear sounds good, otherwise I really like it

[rigid void]

what are they?

@cloud cove

[vapid spear]

thankss

[cloud cove]

not sure tho lemme send pic

[median nebula]

somones trading me raymond for my bob, but they dont time skip so its gonna be a while 😉 true dreamies soon

[next ginkgo]

anyone have a good dig site? I saw one early but, didnt save a picture

[rigid void]

I recently sold Octavian for 750k, and later I'll be trading Tom for Coco and 400k

so I'm slowly getting my dreamies :0

[hasty surge]

Why is Octavian worth that much?

[median nebula]

thats not much. thats like 3 tickets

[next ginkgo]

@hasty surge Demand

[median nebula]

tickets are 200k + each

[rigid void]

idk the guy posted on the subreddit that he was going to pay that much for him since Octavian was his favorite kdjdjs

[median nebula]

thats nothing honestly. most decent villagers are worth 10 times that

raymond is going for 500 tickets

[rigid void]

he actually payed extra for my efforts bc I spent so much time to get him out

[cloud cove]

im gonna check all villagers and pick out my favs.

[halcyon vault]

why cant i send a picture 😦

[dry cradle]

and how exactly is one supposed to earn 500 tickets

[median nebula]

trading other villagers

or buying them from people

[short osprey]

Any good custom wood paths for boardwalks by the beach? The default wood path is a bit too red...

[wild solstice]

You mean cheating -- item duplication and TT @median nebula

[hasty surge]

Wow

That’s insane

[median nebula]

TT isnt cheating imo. I dont do it because it would ruin it but im fine with others

[rigid void]

oh ok

[red valley]

Is there no way to move resident services or the river mouths?

[wild solstice]

TT to earn 200 M in 30 minutes, then flood the market with duplicated bells isn't cheated?

[median nebula]

nope

[rigid void]

I tt because of being at home all day I don't have much to do

[hasty surge]

Raymond a lot because why?

• a cat
• his eyes
• hipster

[dry cradle]

Nintendo even tweeted out that people can play however they want. TT is not a cheat nor an exploit. dupe was a glitch/exploit

[wild solstice]

Your logic is really something else

[hasty surge]

Did I get them all right?

[wild solstice]

Enjoy the game, buddy lmfao

[median nebula]

not really, its a singleplayer game. if everyones having fun who cares @wild solstice

[rigid void]

it takes way longer than 30 mins to get 200mil

[wild solstice]

I don't have an issue with TT ... but when you flood a market with limitless money

[median nebula]

if someone gets tonnes of money then pays me a small amount for a couple tickets we both win. i get to pay off a bridge and they get tickets quick

[wild solstice]

It messes with the economy

[next ginkgo]

guys no one wants to read arguments over TT, this room is for showing maps

[median nebula]

who cares though. who is it hurting
