oh cooool btw do you have your shop a space behind the path?
or against it?
I was wondering if I should leave one to plant flowers 😄

I am also curious about shop placement! gotta move the villager houses that are in the way before I get to move my shops :<

i do like how you have them close to rsident services btw
its very convenient for visitors just to shop 😄

this is
aesthetic af
wind wind
Ohh, I love the use of the two rivers
I didn't think it was possible to get those to work out
median nebula
i like it on the map for sure. wouldnt the little ones have hard edges in game though?
since you cant round a 1x1
clever heart
they are still hard edges but in game it really doesn't look out of place, to me at least. i used the grey stone path
median nebula
perfect then. if you wanted you could make a custom tiny round path with transparent "corners"
so they could be round if you really want
just copy the texture but add rounded edges

How many tiles does a river have to be to build a bridge?
grizzled hollow
Do u guys think everything is too straight on my island
median nebula
depends what aesthetic you are going for
if its a modern town esque theme its perfect
nice backyard space too
grizzled hollow
It's a semi modern Suburban neighborhood with park

I think I am finally happy enough with my island to show it off! 
here's some photo spam hope y'all like it. Starting with the map

should look nice in game then
sometimes nice on map is not the same as nice in game, and vice versa. also @next cypress thats sweet as hell

im thinkin about modifying this
to look at least look a little nicer
or more interesting than just having them together
any ideas?

Double south outlet islands are the ones with two river ends at the bottom of the map

can i take a tour on someone’s island? (:

hahah I still have the layout I started with

@median nebula My plan was to do a volcano but the Dino pond won it for me lol.
rigid void
i would but am busy
topaz sphinx
Mine is still the same as it was before but more... angular because of terrain changing
But it was always with that central island and such
I'm at 4* and I know that filling some of that empty space would bring me to 5...
But with what, I don't know
median nebula
whoever said they didnt have room for something
heres my before and after. neither did I
topaz sphinx
nice looking place
topaz sphinx
So your island started with a natural small heart shaped pond on it? lol
Thats neato
median nebula
yeah its not randomly generated, theres just a lot of islands to pick from
multiple people have gotten identical islands so far
topaz sphinx
Really? I guess it wasnt in my map pack then
median nebula
so you sometimes get little hand crafted ponds
yeah there is tonnes so its rare to get the same as someone
but it allows for cute formations

I already made a market, but it's more of a small farmers market type look

not my idea, i asked the same thing earlier. im building a massive market with fountains and a park

is there a refrence of a marketplace i can see?

You could make a movie set. There are a lot of cardboard cutouts, studio camera equipment, and the Godzilla monster and giant robot.

I thought about that but the upfront requirement is kinda meh and it doesn't fit my island aestetic
Not to be difficult of course
I was thinking maybe an outdoor gym
My animals REALLY like lifting weights in the middle of the plaza lol

what should i put in this
still silo
does anyone know the max number of items we can place outside?

Is there a quick way to unlock furniture DIY recipes?

Alternatively, you could place some benches and garden lanterns in there, clear up some of the stone for grass and plant flowers

i guess time travel and collect bottles if you really must

past tapir
9 inclines would explode the switch instantly @past tapir
@median nebula really? never thought it was a hardware thing
topaz sphinx
@heady dust
Something like this maybe
This is just a small park by my residential area but it's pretty tranquil
median nebula
i mean it isnt any more taxing on the switch than 8 inclines. other than the TINY factor of villager pathfinding
heady dust
How did you get those benches? DIY recipe?
topaz sphinx
Yeah, but any bench will do really
median nebula
everyone has these beautiful little details, whereas i have a nice skeleton road layout and bridges and not a detail in sight lol
topaz sphinx
There's better looking benches you can just buy
median nebula
great channel to get inspiration and ideas
topaz sphinx
Also like you can just use stools
heady dust
my island is really messy
topaz sphinx
Just set like two stone stools side by side. I believe the natural game progression will give you that much
If you want Zech I can just make you some benches
past tapir
everyone has these beautiful little details, whereas i have a nice skeleton road layout and bridges and not a detail in sight lol
@median nebula yea i bought blossom lanterns on a whim and they made such a difference
heady dust
i just got kk slider yesterday so i’ve been terraforming and rearranging stuff all day
north saddle
i just need blossom lanterns and leaf piles and my garden will look complete
median nebula
lol my island transformation took 3 days of terraforming and pathing but it was worth it
topaz sphinx
Do you already have the leaf pile recipie?
north saddle
kinda sad that theres no actual permanent cherryblossom tree

@covert orbit i think ive seen that link and thats probably what im talkin about, you got it?
covert orbit
unborn vault
It's in my tiered orchard so the trees are the focal point
topaz sphinx
Right but wouldn't it be more conducive to move the trees than to demolish and reapply the steps?
Uhhhhhhhhh
heady dust
way cheaper to do that too
topaz sphinx
I guess to @tulip wedge , have you already gotten your campsite?
unborn vault
It doesn't bother me too too much, I have the bells and want it to look like I had imagined
Justa lil annoying mistake on my part
median nebula
@tulip wedge just a mini suggestion, but a simple log bridge by river entrances makes it very convinient to do beach walks and still looks great. any bridge is fine but the minimalist ones are best IMO
tulip wedge
@topaz sphinx yes I have, plan on putting it on far left with garden and orchard
median nebula
i like your lighthouse placement, didnt even think of doing it on rocks. i did it on the outcrop of land a layer up
topaz sphinx
I put mine on some beachfront and it looks pretty snazzy
But it takes up about a square and a half, you could probably do the same next to your town hall
Even if not for the campsite, just as a general small park area would work
topaz sphinx
"This town is a disease... These people aren't people anymore... They're mindless animals."

how are you all setting up the entrance to your islands? like what's the scenery once you / someone sets out of the airport? i'm curious ^^
median nebula
so far... a boring brick path with no decoration -_-
topaz sphinx
The only people who tend to see my island are the ones coming to buy the turnips
median nebula
im not good at decorating
topaz sphinx
So typically they see a small boar child coralled inbetween four fences
And thats about it
But
summer depot
Events area on beach infront of shopping plaza
median nebula
BRuh i am absolutely making an outdoor cafe on a little cliff bit i have
median nebula
topaz sphinx
So when you enter you walk by all my trees and such on the way
median nebula
its perfect for an elevated cafe area with a picnic table and stuff
there is a log bridge across the river there too now
topaz sphinx
Nice
median nebula
i hope brewster is added bc i like my stores being on main street
so dont really wanna move one for the look
but i could just do all outdoors
or make an alt account and design a house like a cafe actually
topaz sphinx
I have this small riverside cafe by the nookling store
Sort of a "rest area" after you're done shopping (able sisters are on the next level up right behind them)
So that can be a nice way to fill in some space if you need something beside your shop
median nebula
mine will be a little walk through a forest so it feels secret
topaz sphinx
I have something like that
median nebula
might put a much smaller second one on main street, near the market though
topaz sphinx
There's a small beach on the back of my island you can only reach by ladder
I put a long path on the far end of the animal residential area which takes you behind houses and cliffs
median nebula
ill show you my secret beach one minute, ill take a video
topaz sphinx
So it's literally a secret beach
topaz sphinx
How do you take video? 😮

Ah I get it

Hello, im pretty bad at building so i would like some1 to help me decorate my island will pay alot and take care of the matirials

I'm going to add an incline later on

@woven drift you cant decorate in multiplayer
topaz sphinx
Probably just a wooden one though

We can drop things for you though
And tell you where they go
But thats about it

other people cant come to your island and decorate for you
nope
thats just for using tools

Yeah

but not actual stuff

you cant pick up fences

Thats how my farmers market swapmeet thing works
median nebula
best friends probably can if this person is saying they have done it
woven drift
Well ima can i take photos of my island and get ideas? i can afford anything
topaz sphinx
Best friends can remove the fence but regular folks can't, so theyre able to go to the back of the stalls
Unless they patched it for some reason
topaz sphinx
Only so much I can tell from the pictures
hollow ember
streetlights are a good call
topaz sphinx
Only 1000 nook miles, not bad
woven drift
Wdym lol
topaz sphinx
streetlights
hollow ember
idk where a snack machine would go though, I wouldn't want one to be just out in the open and there's no wall to put it against
woven drift
Ohhh
hollow ember
I'll play around with that once all of the houses are on their plots
woven drift
What should i do with the entrance?
topaz sphinx
Well @hollow ember You could always do a gated plaza
hollow ember
I could probably fit a stall in there though!
woven drift
topaz sphinx
I'd probably plant a tree or two for them to walk through
Looks nice and gives a refreshing feel
woven drift
I tried to plant the pinl trees there it wont let me
topaz sphinx
Don't put them next to the rocks, put them a square or two away
woven drift
Ok
topaz sphinx
And then next to the rocks, put something like garden lanterns
woven drift
How do i make paths btw?
topaz sphinx
You unlock it later
woven drift
How bout golden roses on the rocks?
ok im gonna need to make this work
-only 2 inclines and one bridge
-i want to connect the two higher levels
-body of water can be removed
any ideas?
topaz sphinx
You mean the two top sections?
topaz sphinx
Wait are they not connected?
topaz sphinx
Okay so light green to light green
woven drift
oh and yeah ill be moving the able sisters
topaz sphinx
Hmm
I was thinking something like making that island a 4 way path
And connecting the cliffs that way
But that would require some difficult workarounds
Wheres your incline on that?
restive roost
i’m all out of project ideas yall drop some names of cool stuff i can make. i’ve already made a residential area and an outdoor diner and a theme park. the plaza area is still not finished (just the shops and the center fountain) so name some stuff i can add there too. ty in advance
topaz sphinx
Make a park park

@topaz sphinx only two inclines allowed

Hmm
livid tundra
would someone be willing to give me tips on terraforming my island? can give bells for your time
woven drift
i could seperate them into two islands then connect it with a bridge
topaz sphinx
I'm thinking you can take off the section behind the body of water
remote lintel
I'm thinking this is the general idea I have for my island once I can edit.
The island is called Leifr.
topaz sphinx
And then connect them directly
woven drift
could you explain that like visually
topaz sphinx
I can try?
topaz sphinx
I understand, all good
median nebula
@remote lintel i always reccomend a log bridge at each river mouth, for easy beach travel
i guess thats only if you dont carry a pole though
topaz sphinx
Okay so lets say north and south and east and west and such, yeah?
median nebula
i dont bc even max inventory isnt too big and i have loads of bridges
woven drift
yuh
median nebula
so i have little mouth bridges
topaz sphinx
If you take the north road towards the able sisters, theres a road to the east
topaz sphinx
Remove that road, add a direct path between the cliffs
wanton valley
oh hey guys
how can i make rounded paths while terraforming?
median nebula
build a corner piece and then "place" the path again
wanton valley
and also put it besides monuments
topaz sphinx
And remove those cliffs to create a bypass
wanton valley

idk i completely remade my island from scratch and making natural looking rivers turned me into a husk
fringe vessel
Almosy finished my island!
heavy berry
I haven’t unlocked terraforming yet but I feel like I’m in for a time
median nebula
heres my before and after. took a full day of playing just to change get the mountains and rivers done
its a slow process, especially if you are trying to make it look realistically natural while also opening up the space you want for yourself
wet cliff
Ah yeah I'm not good at making things look random/natural so I tried not to change my river too much
median nebula
im still not pleased with my river source but then again even the naturally generated river source doesnt look that good
idk they dont ever seem wide enough
remote lintel
honestly it shouldn't take too long to terraform since there isn't TOO much I need to terraform?
It's more adding than deleting
median nebula
yeah i completely filled in my rivers and deleted all mountains
used the blank slate to build on
so it wont be nearly as long luckily
median nebula
like 7 - 10 hours total probably. from start to finish of cutting trees down
all the way to finished land
much more for houses and paths
im at 170 now
so its only a tiny part of my total playtime tbh
hushed agate
I’m trying to destory all my mountains and it’s taking forever
novel carbon
@fringe vessel hi I love symmetry
median nebula
dont hit each block twice @hushed agate
ones that cut in half delete themselves if you cut an attached block
novel carbon
@heavy berry you def are
median nebula
most people literally double the time it takes them by doing that
so basically cut it in half then move on to the next one
etc etc
fringe vessel
Thanks!
hushed agate
What do you mean don’t hit it twice
hazy cobalt
Anybody know how to path cover well?
I'm having trouble when there'a line of green showing between two path deisgns.
median nebula
when you hit a block it turns into a half block, and then it gets destroyed on the second hit
dont do the second hit. just move on. when you hit the next one it auto breaks the first one too

orchid frigate
can i tour around anyone’s island? i need inspiration
north saddle
im trying to find out how i can make each villager a cool frontyard garden
but i cant find a good fence type that my brain likes to look at
novel carbon
@orchid frigate I'd tell u to tour mine but it's sUcH a wip
wet cliff
Same, I need to unlock more fences
wet cliff
Kinda wish there was a nice white stone or brick staircase too
north saddle
its always like
novel carbon
@wet cliff agree
north saddle
"hmm this looks good, but i bet theres something better"
brave cradle
novel carbon
I wish there were more incline options :/ I feel like they're the same thing but a diff color except the natural
brave cradle
I agree
north saddle
its driving me nuts how i cant find the perfect fences for these frontyards
brave cradle
I like the blue fence like the one i posted above
wet cliff
I have the blue around my own house bc blue 💙
north saddle
hopefully when the next update comes, leif brings in hedges/bushes so i can just use those as a fence
brave cradle
I just want a coffee shop or something
wet cliff
I really really want the wisteria trellis again
north saddle
i use those blue fences as railings for shops already
novel carbon
for fences around flowers I've been using the simple ones tbh. they're the only ones I like for flowers
some fences seem too tall for flowers like the zen ones
hushed hull
Can anyone show me their entry ways?(-: I need inspo
novel carbon
like for houses? @hushed hull
hushed hull
@novel carbon right off the airport(-:
novel carbon
Oh mine is shit
hushed hull
Same😂
woven drift
Before I make any mistakes, are there any downsides to completely leveling the island flat?
oblique sable
@woven drift It's a pain to recreate things... I can't think of anything other than that
But I've only had Island Designer for like... two days, so take that with a grain of salt lol
north saddle
i dont even have a special entry way from my airport
its just a pathway that leads straight to the mainstreet lol
hushed hull
@north saddle ahhh I see )-: idk what to do lol
sullen moon
does anyone have a park/carnival? Could i see what it looks like?
slow escarp
Idk if anyone tries this yet but you can’t climb or make a stair case to the 4th platform
austere folio
silk lark
@slow escarp I experimented with terraforming last night and yeah, when I saw that you can't get to the 4th level, I just destroyed it because there's no point in having it if you can't do anything with it. 👀
Which is a lil sad, but it would be cool to have like an extra tall waterfall in there
novel carbon
I feel like if 4th level was something ~cool~ and ~usable~ they would have made the beginner island layouts with it
agile hatch
Can I see someone’s front entrance area?
livid tundra
can anyone give me some terraforming tips? can pay for your time
next ginkgo
Plan ahead of time you can't build on beaches or rivers
Also doing it in sections is a good idea as well
void jackal
What’s the max amount of inclines and bridges?
wet cliff
8 each
oblique sable
@void jackal 8 each I believe
oblique sable
@queen prawn A dodo code is a private "key" to let you visit someone else's island
barren osprey
imma try to create a yin yang design on my island with rivers... wish mee gl
be back in 4 hrs lmfao
queen prawn
Ooo
oblique sable
@queen prawn There are basically two options - Dodo Code, which only lets those who know the Dodo code onto your island
Or "Opening the gates" which allows anyone on your Switch friends' list to pop in
flat igloo
Can I see anyones bamboo garden/bamboo forest/zen or spa type area
lookin for inspo haha
ivory condor
barren osprey
pretty
ivory condor
unborn phoenix
plucky cedar
Need some orchard inspo, any one have any ideas?
kindred yarrow
Hi! I have already made a outdoor cafe, performance area, playground / park, fountain, picnic area, orchard, etc. I'm not sure on any other ideas. LMK if you guys have any ideas.
safe elm
can anyone help me out and give me some fencing
unborn phoenix
@safe elm I do
kindred yarrow
@plucky cedar I have mine made rn, just the basis, still looking for ideas. I'm pretty sure a little area with barrels, buckets, bamboo packs etc would be super cute!
unborn phoenix
I still will help you
safe elm
I’m new that is why I was asking for fencing
sullen berry
does anyone have a flower garden and want to share pics? trying to come up with a cute way to organize and get hybrids!!
safe elm
Can I come to your town
safe elm
Okay just send me the code
What do I click on to type that in? That’s not a normal code I’ve done
unborn phoenix
Sorry?
safe elm
The code to come to your town
safe elm
Yea
unborn phoenix
Sorry, wait
woven drift
My island reached 4 stars!!
topaz sphinx
nice
kindred yarrow
Ayyy, mine just did too. I'm so lost on ideas rn tho
nocturne mulch
how do y'all deal with the issue of like an incline or a bridge going straight into a house if you're trying to make a path to it? since the bridges/inclines are 2 spaces wide and house entrances are 1 wide there's not really a way to make it line up unless i'm dumb and missing something
kindred yarrow
Wanna tour each others towns for ideas? @woven drift
woven drift
@kindred yarrow honestly I’m just getting creative and putting bridges to existing rivers and new waterfalls, terraforming, and making new inclines
sure in a bit! paying off some bridges
kindred yarrow
@woven drift I can always help w that if needed!
woven drift
it’s ok! thank you for offering ^_^
kindred yarrow
okiee
woven drift
when we do tour my island isn’t all the way super organized like I want it so it won’t be 10/10 lol
north saddle
hey can i join too? i need some ideas as well for inspiration hehe
kindred yarrow
thats fine, mine isnt perfect either
woven drift
yep!
kindred yarrow
and ofc!!
topaz sphinx
I wanna join too
woven drift
atm I’m going for a japan theme
north saddle
i just unlocked terraforming yesterday so i kinda wanna grasp an idea on how i can use it
unborn phoenix
@safe elm Code: HHXG0
oblique sable
Oh god... I've accidentally turned a section of my island into Tarantula Zone
north saddle
im just doing a very generic town theme for mine
woven drift
free bells
oblique sable
From yanking everything out to terraform lol
north saddle
money zone
woven drift
@north saddle I went for that but wanted to switch it up
craggy orchid
the tiny secret beach at the back of my map makes it hard for me to decide what to do back there 🥺
kindred yarrow
I see so many people doing crazy stuff with teraforming and im over here like.. i have paths and 1 homemade waterfall LOL
woven drift
@craggy orchid lawn chairs, sand castles and sand boxes, life guard chairs
make it look like villagers actually chill there
oblique sable
@kindred yarrow I'm tryna not go TOO crazy... Just cleaning up some of the difficult-to-navigate areas
Plus, I kinda just threw flowers and Stone Stools down to get to 3 Stars lol
So my Three Star Island is a hot mess
unborn phoenix
Who is Cirrus?
kindred yarrow
tbh when youre trying to get a three star placement doesnt matter but when its 3+ you have to completely cover it with stuff and its so annoying.
woven drift
^
Aiming for 3 stars just put furniture in most places but up to 4-5 stars you need to make it more organised and have stuff literally everywhere
topaz sphinx
Yeah it sucks
woven drift
has to be a balance of DIY and shop items
north saddle
speaking of, ive barely used DIY furniture just cuz i can barely get any good recipes
topaz sphinx
Bleh
kindred yarrow
yeah and the nook miles stuff.
north saddle
still trying to find a cherryblossom lantern recipe...
kindred yarrow
Fencing, flowers, trees, Nook Cranny's objects, Nook Mile objects, DIYs, hybrids.
I have it, but not a spare. Bring the mats and I can craft some up!\
north saddle
what do you need to craft them?
kindred yarrow
6 cherry blossom petals and 4 hardwood per
topaz sphinx
EZ PZ
north saddle
oh not that bad
woven drift
I’ve been trying to move my other account in to get more than 10 residents
technically cheating the system
Having another account on your switch
and just playing on that one
It let me move in I just didn’t test if I could put my tent down
north saddle
anyways hmu when you guys are ready to do the tours!
ivory condor
How many more residents does another account give you?
woven drift
Alright! I got a few more things to do and I’ll be ready
kindred yarrow
Its the same i believe
woven drift
Well if it works my other account should all count as 11 people
kindred yarrow
the max is ten
ivory condor
Oh I see
nocturne mulch
i think it's 10 animal villagers and 8 players
woven drift
Max is 10 but I’m curious if it’ll like lock me out or smth
kindred yarrow
I remember on the Gamecube and the Wii you could have 4 IRL people on each console / memory card but I'm not sure.
About handhelds
woven drift
:0
woven drift
15 villagers sounds so chaotic
kindred yarrow
Ehh, back in the day there wasn't as much content but now it'd be overwhelming.
The villagers used to be mean too LMFAO
It was funny tbh.
woven drift
Tom nook used to be mean af too
kindred yarrow
dude fr LMFAO until Wild World where Sable and his relationship with her came out.
woven drift
Why do I put myself through torture
kindred yarrow
The path making is soooooo time consuming.
woven drift
IKR I wish there was a faster way
kindred yarrow
I wish we could upgrade it to like 2/3/4 at once or something
or double wild path making.
north saddle
man i wish you could place diagonal paths without it looking wonky
woven drift
yes!! Like a select option
I kinda am curious what the cleanup feature does for this terraforming thin
I’m scared it’ll clean up my flowers lol
kindred yarrow
Imagine if the paths connected to the plaza it'd be over for everyone LMFAO
woven drift
LMAO
north saddle
says it just removes furniture and fences around you from what ive read on the manual
woven drift
ah ok
north saddle
and places them in the recycle box i think
upbeat thorn
I used the clean up tool and it only removes one tree that was in front of me. It didn’t clean up anything
woven drift
Oh nooo
kindred yarrow
I hope they have the option to change the plaza / town hall like in New Leaf.
kindred yarrow
It was promoted as more customization but I do really hope they add the option to change that as well as the Nook's and Able's
Right ):
oblique sable
The little path-gap between the plaza/ramps/bridges and the paths hurts me...
woven drift
YES OMG
why do they make the house stair porch thing 3 paths in order for it to be even
north saddle
same with not having diagonal paths connecting to diagonal bridges
kindred yarrow
Me: placing paths
The grass between the paths and plazas: :^)
upbeat thorn
I got terraforming today and it’s so disappointing. You have to do everything one by one. It took me like 20 mins to remove a cliff. I thought it was gonna be a grid like thing like when you organize your house
unique creek
Actually don't like the lower right of the map :/ too generic
woven drift
Nah unfortunately but hopefully they upgrade to a grid
north saddle
man why arent there any diagonal fences/paths, like, theres already diagonal landscapes but not both of those?
kindred yarrow
Yeah its super annoying
woven drift
I LOVE THAT ISLAND THIS MAKES ME WANNA RESTART
kindred yarrow
RIght ^
woven drift
omg y’all are so talented 😭
unique creek
I LOVE THAT ISLAND THIS MAKES ME WANNA RESTART
@woven drift am actually redocrating some parts
because it felt "too generic" like new leaf
woven drift
it’s very organised
The water and the stairs kinda remind me of mario party
dunno why
north saddle
holy crap that island
kindred yarrow
I kinda wanna move my house to a cliff so I can have more backyard room etc but I waited 4 games for a beach house LMFAO
north saddle
meanwhile we out here sporting the generic look
woven drift
IKR lmao
unique creek
want to make it like a more resort look
woven drift
@kindred yarrow I have my house on a cliff and it’s fun until weeds don’t stop growing by your house
kindred yarrow
LOL frick weeds
woven drift
good luck that looks like weeks of work
kindred yarrow
New Leaf is actually the only animal crossing game I didn't play much of.
woven drift
That is amazing
unique creek
having to step up my game haha
woven drift
How the hell are you so talented
kindred yarrow
PG, CF, WW I played hours and hours of. And I'm so jealous wtfff
woven drift
I’d pay someone to do my island for me bc I suck st making it pop LOL
kindred yarrow
Cosmic you tryna visit now?
woven drift
yeah sure
unique creek
candid widget
@barren osprey waiting for the update lol
woven drift
so organised
barren osprey
catch me at 4am LMFAO
north saddle
ohh those wood floors gave me an idea as well
unique creek
seeing all your posts made me wanna innovate
and not stuck on generic flower beds haha
kindred yarrow
Anyone who wants to come on down can, my DODO is: 1JN15
north saddle
man i wanna scrap my island now lol
woven drift
I’ll be there in a sec uwu
kindred yarrow
Another annoying thing: you can barely do anything with your friends over.
woven drift
If you make someone your best friend it prevents some of that
woven drift
Oh yeah it’s stupid
kindred yarrow
id loveeee to be able to build w my friends
north saddle
dropping in
kindred yarrow
OKie I'll show you around ❤️
north saddle
i brought some materials for the lantern as well
kindred yarrow
Sounds good
woven drift
Going to airport atm
kindred yarrow
okiii
north saddle
ooh
north saddle
are those benches DIY?
kindred yarrow
Ronan, just go up to the DIY bench and drop the stuff up there and I'll make them. and yes but I don't have the recipe, I had someone else make them haha
woven drift
I for the life of me wish this stupid dodo bird didn’t talk so much
kindred yarrow
FR, like bruh stfu
woven drift
asks where I’m going when ive been in the airport like 29 times like u should know lmao
kindred yarrow
btw who's matthew?
woven drift
not sure
topaz sphinx
omw
kindred yarrow
okie
north saddle
3 btw
woven drift
do you think they're going to add a cafe option or is everyone doing a second resident to convert into whatever building
~_~ i hate that we only have nooks & the tailors
One time 7 ppl were at my island and a bunch of ppl got me bc it was nonstop loding screen
Mad*
north saddle
i hope brewster comes with a cafe building
north saddle
instead of being a part of the museum
kindred yarrow
And Leif
woven drift
Omg a cafe would be so cute
omg also opinions ...
Isabelle as cafe and not a useless announcer 😔
kindred yarrow
I'd put it right by my outdoor cafe!!
woven drift
for a more forest-type of island what path should i use. i really dont wanna use dirt path everywhere but....
kindred yarrow
Maybe a stone path?
north saddle
or you could go for a stepping stones design
woven drift
Except I organised the flowers by flower and color 😳
petition for white brick path in acnh..
kindred yarrow
Cinnamon, we're to the right, once you get to the orchard go up and you'll see us!
woven drift
stepping stones do look rly nice if done right o:
kindred yarrow
i did my boyfriends island as well
woven drift
my bf is so behind I might have to help him with his island as well lmao
He just now got a campsite
kindred yarrow
Tell him to hurry tf up!! LMFAO
woven drift
LMAO
north saddle
with this party going on im thinking of making a nightclub in my house basement now
woven drift
I helped him max out the fossil area in his museum
woven drift
I low-key wanna make a arcade in my house basement but idk where tf ppl get the machines
kindred yarrow
My boyfriend wanted a zen garden sorta island so I helped him with it lmfaooo
kindred yarrow
Idk either but you can catalog them from some people but its expensive as HELL
covert orbit
I've gotten several arcade machines from Nook's Cranny
unborn phoenix
Do you guys have a beautiful bench?
kindred yarrow
ayyy i got a garden wagon
topaz sphinx
nice
woven drift
this is so pretty
unborn phoenix
Can I see it?
topaz sphinx
Theyre a pain to make
kindred yarrow
Yeah I noticed ripp Thankfully i have a lot of flowers LMFAOO
unkempt wren
Hey so, How do brides work!?! Can we ever pick them up and relocate those? or save them if we reroute the rivers down the line when u unlock terraforming?
woven drift
This is so much better than mine I’m deadass SO JEALOUS
the urge to restart is strong
kindred yarrow
LMFAOO i feel it big time
I made the park for astrid bc she has a joey
its cringe but idk
kindred yarrow
stopp LMFAO
woven drift
it’s ok I made me and my bf a love garden bc he really likes flowers
north saddle
im dissapointed that i cant ride on the pony toy thing
woven drift
I gotta touch up my bridge
oblique sable
I missed the "that's so cute" line and thought you'd just said "that's dumb" to someone's love garden lmfao
woven drift
I’ll visit your island if u want @topaz sphinx we can all take turns showing islands :)
topaz sphinx
:3
kindred yarrow
Yeah! Just give the Dodo
north saddle
