cosmic marsh
I flatted the whole islandonce already
quiet latch
After building my animal crossing town for 4 days I have decided I hated it and I'm going to revamp the whole thing...
cosmic marsh
flattened
quiet latch
nocturne mulch
yeah i really wish the terraform thing had been a top-down grid-based thing not.... what we got lol
but weird tedious things seems to be the theme of this game in a lot of ways
frosty creek
throw the whole museum out who needs that dumpy owl
cosmic marsh
same Crazy haha.
novel carbon
@quiet latch did the SAME THING
cosmic marsh
Yes top down would be great. I also feel waterfalls are a little wonky
sturdy loom
ive flattened the top layer now at least..
quiet latch
I hate terraforming it's so awkward to use for me.
cosmic marsh
yeah thats what I was trying to get across.
frosty creek
the best is when you undo and redo a single tile like 10 times because hitboxes
hasty surge
LMAO
quiet latch
OMG I KNOW
hasty surge
The amount of times I do that
novel carbon
IKR
novel carbon
I can turn my character the slightest bit and I'm doing something on the wrong tile and I'm like :)
hasty surge
guys remember wild world when we didnt have terraforming? when we only wished for stuff like that? ....................can we go back
jk
cosmic marsh
right. or when it makes a corner and your like nooo
amber garnet
looking for someone willing to come to my island and do a walkthrough and give me some ideas for some spaces i dont know what to do with
frosty creek
i'd put money on someone making a 3rd party editor for cfw'd switches
and that's the only time i'll change my map again tbh
like they could have at the least given us some kind of draw tool to do it in bulk
hasty surge
that would be nice, but the value of your work will lower

does anyone know what the platform path on the bottom is from?
hasty surge
most people wouldnt mind i guess
novel carbon
I love blathers n all but why does he say jolly good
cosmic marsh
yeah like use some of the stuff from mario maker
nocturne mulch
honestly in a way i kind of wish for the old games because it's just like, you take what you got and make it pretty but i also like all the options?? ugh... guess i just wish there was a better ui to do it
sturdy loom
idk i dont wanna put cfw on this switch, i already have one with cfw and just wanna keep this one legit like this
novel carbon
@open copper that ain't a path b
cosmic marsh
@worthy lance its in path-qr just scroll up a bit
worthy lance
wrong bee
quiet latch
I get it. I liked just popping in animal crossing and just getting to play and decorate you house. But I love the island customization! I wish it was less of a pain. And less bells wasted...
hasty surge
What if the L button switched to water forming, press again, switches to cliff forming
void jackal
Probably dumb question but do we have to keep the furniture we made for the new residents by their house?
sturdy loom
just that by itself would be too convenient
andhaing a toggle for not making corner blocks
brazen pewter
do we have to keep it at all
sturdy loom
you dont
brazen pewter
ok thank god this hay bed is UGLY
frosty creek
you can even throw the whole villager out if they don't comply with the Nook code
hasty surge
you customize it if you want
muted tartan
once again i am asking for tips on what to do with terrain on this map
novel carbon
@open copper

i removed it once it was built
hasty surge
and make it less ugly

@muted tartan DAMN BRO
open copper
@novel carbon ah i already found it but thank you lol! 😅
novel carbon
Np
hasty surge
MAKE THAT RIVER DRAGON HAPPEN
muted tartan
im trying to! Its based on Farosh from LoZ
i just have no idea how to make the terrain interesting and. not flat
novel carbon
@woven drift ya can't move it
urban canyon
dug this lake, its been painful but im getting there
void jackal
Define solution
novel carbon
I have that issue too
covert orbit
Like moving it? You can't
nocturne mulch
suffer @woven drift ... i have the same issue, it's so close ugh
muted tartan
:O nice lake!
grim pasture
Finally got my neighborhood area finished and now I regret so much. I want everyone to have a yard. 😭 advice?
frosty creek
@woven drift restart the save or make it work tbh
quiet latch
That's another thing I wish we could move resident services
nocturne mulch
that's exactly where mine is too so i feel you
hasty surge
yeah I suffer from that too, almost reset my progress because of it
frosty creek
would recommend putting some barbed wire fence so the nooklets don't make it out to the airport with those fake passports
regal jasper
I just need to figure out what i wanna do with the top part of the map but im basically done
hasty surge
but idk, perhaps a wider entrance? make pathways that go left and right
cosmic marsh
legit mine too step off the plane and there it is.
mint otter
does anyone want to visit my island and help me/ have any tips for landscaping, I really want to re-arrange my trees but Im really bad at that stuff
:p
nocturne mulch
this is kind of what i plan to do with mine, at least the town hall/airport area and pathing around it so that might help?
fringe vessel
Need one more ride for my amusement park, any ideas?
topaz sphinx
Why not have a kids area?
Put the climbing wall item, maybe some of the small toys from nook mile shop
Every park has kiddie rides, after all, and most of them have rock walls of some type
fringe vessel
Oh, gotcha, thanks!
kindred yarrow
Hey, does anyone have a marketplace they can show off if possible? need some ideas!
covert orbit
Possible, maybe. Inconvenient, definitely
cold kettle
i might not elevate the stores/museum to the 3rd level, so i can save the inclines for a possible obstacle course
i have lots of time to waste dw
topaz sphinx
@kindred yarrow How large of one were you wanting?
Do you want something small like the market from my town, or are you looking for something a lot larger
kindred yarrow
Not too large of an area. I'm also thinking of making an outdoor "laundry area" with clothslines, drying racks, wash buckets, deluxe machines
topaz sphinx
Hmm
novel pebble
@cold kettle looks hella fun though lmao
sturdy loom
deluxe machines?
cold kettle
ty haha @novel pebble
kindred yarrow
The washingmachines lol
topaz sphinx
A washing area sounds weird...
Not weird bad so much as like... it shouldn't be standalone
I feel like it should be paired with another area...
kindred yarrow
It will be.
It's connected to a whole town square area
With a market place, the washing area, etc.
hasty surge
How about a money-laundering laundry area? 😏
topaz sphinx
I was thinking more... sauna/bath house type stuff personally
Gotta get those bells clean
Cant have timmy and tommy revealing my taranchula black market payouts
kindred yarrow
Spirited away LOL
hasty surge
I think its relieving to hear someone talking about other themed areas even as different as a "laundry area". We've all seen bath-sauna-japanese areas
kindred yarrow
yeah where else are these ppl supposed to wash their clothes???
hasty surge
LOOOL
covert orbit
I really want to see a movie set-theme. There are a lot of professional cameras/lighting, standees/cutouts of scenery, and props like Godzilla. Been trying to collect the furniture myself
kindred yarrow
That'd be cool!
hasty surge
yeah thatd be SO dope
cold kettle
speaking of unique, what are some good original map ideas
i want a park but its totally overused
cold kettle
nope
maybe ill go for something scientific or horror
my island name is a really cutesy one tho it would clash lmaooo
covert orbit
Scientific sounds cool. Celeste gives a lot of astronaut-related DIYs, and the Cranny occasionally has normal lab stuff like microscopes and chemistry sets.
topaz sphinx
Hmm
cold kettle
i wish we could rename islands tbh
topaz sphinx
Oh!
kindred yarrow
I have a UFO recipe, I can make it for you if you want, iif you have the Mats!
covert orbit
There's not much in the name of horror. Though Lucky manages to pull it off
topaz sphinx
What if with the laundry room, you make a spa?
cold kettle
what even are mats? i keep hearing about them
kindred yarrow
materials lmfao
covert orbit
Materials
topaz sphinx
Anyways, what about a spa? Lounger chairs with little tubs to soak your feet in
covert orbit
For the Celeste DIYs, the primary materials are Star Fragments, which you collect on the beach on the day after you wish upon shooting stars.
kindred yarrow
Yeah, i could do that.
topaz sphinx
A desk with maybe the nail kit, maybe some hair machines or mirrors and stuff
muted tartan
anyone here good at terraforming and could give me some map advice?
topaz sphinx
I'm thinking mainly because laundry rooms where I live usually have spas attached where you can get a massage or soak in mineral baths or get mani/pedi while you wait for your laundry to get done
Its very refreshing
kindred yarrow
Dude I wanna go wtf
topaz sphinx
Then you finish with your spa time and you climb into nice warm freshly cleaned clothes
kindred yarrow
mine just have little claw machines
subtle grove
how does your guys airport / arriving area look like? I have no idea how to connect everthing there ;-;
topaz sphinx
I picked poorly so mine has a very absurdly long line of trees
kindred yarrow
Does anyone have white washing machines cataloged?
oblique cliff
How did y'all work wth diagonal bridges and paths? I have a diagonal bridge and all the paths that lead to it look bad.

need to delete the mountain on north east and fill the eastern side with something, but otherwise my progress so far is going swell 👌
alpine fern
Should I keep going with this idea or should I scrap it since residential services is in the way?
hushed hull
when you guys terrraform, do you think its easier to level everything out first then add cliffs & rivers or how to you go about it?
woven drift
Don’t know how else to make my island better ughhh
lucid shale
hrrmmm moon lake
woven drift
I know this isn’t much so ur maps but are u able to move houses that are placed down
@woven drift yes, talk to Tom nook in resident services, it costs 50,000 bells to move a house
covert orbit
You can move houses and most buildings, but they cost bells
woven drift
Thanks
hushed hull
when you guys terrraform, do you think its easier to level everything out first then add cliffs & rivers or how to you go about it?
hasty surge
I prefer not leveling everything out. The nature of what you originally had might inspire and spark how you lay things out
woven drift
cosmic marsh
Yeah I regret leveling mine. I feel like its unnatural now
woven drift
Is there a way I can change my incline design? Or do I have to completely demolish it and buy a new one
amber garnet
you have to demolish it
woven drift
Damn, that sucks
hasty surge
I think ones who level out either have a hardcore plan or dont have a plan at all. Ones who dont have a plan at least can have a goal set by leveling everything out. Then, once they do they seem almost overwhelmed
elder ravine
I have no idea where to go with this.
amber garnet
i dont have a plan and dint level out mine lol
fair kite
I really wish I could move my villager houses over a single space without having to pay an extra 50k
hasty surge
@amber garnet what I mean are the two types of people who choose the level out
long sentinel
i didnt have a plan or level mine i just worked on a quarter of the map at a time and it just kinda ... happened I guess haha
woven drift
Honestly, it’s best to not plan so much and just do what you feel best in the beginning and then when you do have a plan you’re set on, move buildings and stuff
woven drift
How are y'all so creative, this is what my islands looking like and I have no idea what to do with it 😩
amber garnet
i honestly have no clue what to do with a large portion of my map
long sentinel
omg you have such good villagers vidya
woven drift
@woven drift Looking at inspo on social media boosts creativity
elder ravine
Ye
hasty surge
Visit more people are get inspiration!
Think about what part of the game you like the most. If you like fishing a lot perhaps open up rivers more and such
amber garnet
This is how mine looks
woven drift
@amber garnet wait, how do you have 11 villagers?
Wait nvm
Lol
Didn't realize one of them was another player lmao
woven drift

my house is about to clear the middle of the map
gaunt river

Is the museum 4x7?
lilac delta
thow do you make a big waterfall?
visual granite
Anyone have any dope tours of their shopping plazas?
carmine jungle
@elder ravine yo i have the same exact island layout as you

@lilac delta unlock terraforming yet?
gaunt river
i made two more levels and then dug some water on the second one and also the first one
lilac delta
yeah
elder ravine
I'm still wondering how to set up everything now that I'm getting terraforming and pathmaking tomorrow
hasty surge
@gaunt river youre making me want to get the zen bridge
elder ravine
In the mean time I guess I'll set up the points for both
gaunt river
hahaha it’s a super pretty bridge ngl lol
it’s 228,000 bells though
but every bridge is super pretty imo...
strange flare
what path matches a zen bridge? 😮
woven drift
I have like 6 zen bridges
lilac delta
https://i.imgur.com/bQGeIrx.png trying to make a waterfall that looks like this

I'm going with a brick layout for mine, (brick road, bridges, inclines, etc)
hasty surge
yeah im gonnna love mixing and matching seperate bridges in sep places
gaunt river
whoaa so big lol
woven drift
Imo I feel like that waterfall is too big
gaunt river
solomon, jsyk, terraform with the ground building one (idk what to call it), make it big enough to go onto the level you built and then make another level, then pave a path with the water building option on both levels
like idk how to explain this im sorry wgenegeb
cold kettle
i hate nintendo for restricting us to one island per console i had the best idea
lilac delta
it makes a waterfall with 2 layers
but im wondering how this guy just got one big waterfall
woven drift
@cold kettle you could always create a new user
cold kettle
@woven drift new user same island though
heady dew
Does anyone know all of the arches off the top of their head
gaunt river
ah they didnt i dont think?? you can see two levels on the bottom (?)
the two things stacked on top of each other
hasty surge
That waterfall is two levels
hazy horizon
Anyone know of any good Pathing designs with Brick and whatnot?
hasty surge
Not too complex
gaunt river
he just made it so big it looks like its one level
lilac delta
they dont look stacked to me
gaunt river
yeah it’s two levels
they are aha
you can see the two stacked ground levels in the corner
heady dew
Like r the only arches stone, shell, and bunny day?
gaunt river
you just have to have one ground pillar you can make the rest water
lilac delta
oh i see
gaunt river
its just. huuuge
covert orbit
There are two more seasonal arches
gaunt river
so it looks like one
hasty surge
gaunt river
yeah!
gaunt river
yeah!
lilac delta
okay i got it then
gaunt river
in this case it’s super duper duper wide aha
lilac delta
yeah i thought the guy had like no cliffs below the waterfall or something
gaunt river
oh no problem! yeah it looks just like, one big waterfall but thats how you make it look like that lol

If I time travel to January can I get the frozen furniture set specially the arch?
hasty surge
@heady dew ask #690232820630945862 idk

@heady dew Most likely not, if stuff is exclusive to seasons, then things will likely only release to people on real time to avoid people spoiling and exploiting items that aren’t meant for release yet

Design how? Like cliffs and such? @pure pecan
Same I’d pay hella money for shrine archways

Is it possible to make a circular pond?
I'm not very good with terraforming yet

I'd say just start slow
Plan out what you want then start in one corner
nocturne mulch
that is... such a weirdly specific yet very accurate description of my feelings on how it all works tbh
woven drift
It’s just so far out in the corner
wintry junco
that will be in the next game, animal crossing: ultimate horizons (releasing for the switch 2 in 2025)
same.. i didn't realize how central resident services would be for in-game events like kk slider's concerts. but it's 70 hrs in at this point so fuck it
cosmic marsh
mine is step off the airport and literately BAM
nocturne mulch
i just kind of wonder who play tested some of this and went "yes, this is perfect and not at all tedious"... like they made some great changes compared to NL based on what everyone wanted but it's still SO FAR off of what it could/should be... maybe they'll finally get it right next game
sturdy loom
id love to move mine but i'll just work around it
wintry junco
@cosmic marsh i feel like that's the optimal spot
cosmic marsh
I wish I had more room in between.
nocturne mulch
you'd think differently if yours was like that lol... it's a little too close right next to the airport, i want it a little farther off
like not middle of the map far, but... a little bit farther out
sturdy loom
id love to move my airport too
wintry junco
it would nice to step off the airport and have it right there. mine is like in the middle right section of the map
trying to build a commercial area but i'm realizing it has to be midtown
nocturne mulch
i guess it kind of depends on where exactly, if it was right in front of the airport i think it would be alright, but mine is off to the right just a little which just doesn't leave enough room to make good pathing or anything
void jackal
I wish I could change my airport color!

if you could place stuff on the platform or change the ground

Things that make me mad: not being able to put inclines or bridges close together (literally messed up my whole plan).

Inclines are even too bleh

also agreed... i've been avoiding placing buildings directly in front of a path and trying to put them parallel to a path if that makes sense... not much else to do :(
ivory salmon
forgot the size of the bridge. it's 3 right?
wintry junco
no it's 2
nocturne mulch
bridges and inclines are all 2 wide
wintry junco
3 minimum to place a bridge

river can be 3 or 4 i think

Use the shovel terraform to put stuff exactly where you want it

How did you all organize your island? I want to avoid annoying layouts

i have an annoying layout

i'm just choosing a grid layout for now

I didn't realise it in the beginning but my map layout sucks; I'll get a pic in a minute.
inner fiber
what’s the exact dimensions of able sisters and an updated nooks cranny?
i dug holes and was off on my measurements and don’t want waste 100k again 😭
wet cliff
Something like 7 by 4 but I gotta check again
nocturne mulch
nook is 7x4, able is 5x4 i believe
ivory salmon
gotta be creating a river and here are my markers for measurements.
woven drift
This island layout sucks so bad... It wouldn't be so bad if I could move Resident Services 🙃
inner fiber
@wet cliff @nocturne mulch thank you both!
violet cosmos
Can you change the river outlets to the ocean?
nocturne mulch
nope, river outlets are set
wintry junco
sadly no
woven drift
Anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this map? I kinda don't want to organise all the houses in one spot & make the map look empty, but apart from B which are cliffs there's no where else better to put stuff. The island with the camp site is full (made it look like an actual camp site). Nooks Cranny has barely any space beside it.
astral timber
@woven drift Thank you for sharing! Also you're islanders are v cute
wintry junco
build a river outside resident services and have it connect to the other rivers?
woven drift
Thank you! I spent days getting all the ones I wanted.
@wintry junco that's actually a pretty good idea, thank you! 😊
wintry junco

ivory salmon
my town hall is slightly off too, i made a little entrance so that when people turn right, it's directly the town hall

@woven drift it only sucks if you are trying to make the town hall the central point, its an amazing map if you make other things that
i have almost the same map and been on the creative map tool for hours, lots of ideas
wintry junco
every map is what you make of it tbh
woven drift
It's not that I'm trying to make it the central point, it just feels in the way where it is.
arctic snow
Any ideas of where I should put a park? Thinking about moving some buildings around too. I don’t like my layout 😦
woven drift
That's a lot of cliffs!
ivory salmon
dusk cosmos
just started terraforming 😍
timid kernel
well you can't really make it central because of the placement, but i'm saying there are ways to make a map flow without it being centered. look at this one
notice where town hall is but where do your eyes go?
i'm doing something like this ^ but different in my own way
woven drift
That looks adorable and the focus is obviously on the bunny outline
woven drift
@dusk cosmos I love this
dusk cosmos
ty still need flowers and stuff
hasty surge
@timid kernel where would town hall be? that illustration shows it moved to a impossible spot
nice chest btw
timid kernel
i spent like 50k on flowers today ;~; i'm still waiting for my campsite to be built but i wanna terraform as soon as possible
my town hall is close to that
solar snow
I just unlocked terraforming and I’m struggling to come with idea for how to incorporate the water around the buildings (they need to be relocated) any ideas
timid kernel
it'd be very easy to move that design over a little bit (note- that design/map was drawn, so it won't be exact in game)
hasty surge
yeah looks so good as a illustration, but too bad AC doesnt care for super round edges
smoky nacelle
Can someone show me a good example of villagers housing? I’m gonna try to make all my villagers houses identical in layout but have different themed decorations and stuff
timid kernel
you can also do what she did here and make it a bit smaller in design
like the ideas are there, just morph it to where your town hall is
but there are plenty of people who don't need to outline something like this and make say the museum the focus or something
thats why i restarted for a map without town hall in the middle
golden bison
If you're struggling, always start from resident services outwards
hasty surge
agreeeeed x2
timid kernel
assuming you even wanna connect in that way, you can always connect town hall in a diff way
golden bison
I don't like how close the town hall to my airport is
timid kernel
i saw a cool boardwalk with the airport, loved that idea
golden bison
But c'est la vie
wintry junco
my resident services isn't really centred either, pretty far right. what i'm doing is creating an island in the middle with all of the main buildings, with all roads/paths leading into that central island. that way the focal point is still kinda on the town hall even if it isn't in the exact centre of the map
golden bison
solar snow
I’m trying to surround each building (except the museum) with water

timid kernel
hopefully it'll help 😄

that person that draws out the maps, does anyone have her ig? i know it has her tag on there but i still cant find her?
olive charm
Still a working process but I like how it is :DD (not a big big big BIG fan of seeing sharp corners of pathways, or how lined up the houses are so... Yeah :D) TERRAFORMING HERE I COME
timid kernel
nice! hey that one pond on the west looks like a : O face 😄 lol
olive charm
Oh! I didnt noticed that xD
green tinsel
That looks so good!!
cobalt flax
Who’s allowing island tours?
static karma
Any ideas of what I should do with the river in this? I dont wanna move it to much cause I like the placement of a lot of things but I really wanna shape it into something
static karma
..... I dont know why I never thought of that
wintry junco
use the river as a tail
topaz sphinx
^
static karma
Maybe I'll make pathways in my village the shape of the body and make the river more streamline for the tail!
woven drift
@timid kernel that map is just wow!
aa i have a lot to do, just cleared everything up n did an entrance
wind rover
where did all your trees and flowers go!
woven drift
i still have them they just dont show up on the default map lmao
harsh plinth
that picture gives me anxiety from thinking about all the work left
woven drift
LOL

that's a really nice entrance though

my island roughly looks like this but imagine everything closer together 💀 so i want to keep most of the villager houses in the general where they’re all in a row (will move the other 3 houses there eventually). i want to move my house where the museum is but on tier 3?? and move the campsite to D6 tier 2 but i would appreciate ideas
crude birch
Feel free to come on in fgfc1

First day of terraforming done..still so much left to do. No idea what to do with the top left area or the bottom centre pond either

How many holes is a quadrant?

ah thank you!

makin a cemetery

Omg that’s just a little section of your island how long did that take you? I just unlocked terraforming today an it took me like 2-3 hour just to get rid of my rivers 😭 @woven drift
fluid crown
Which is better pathway, left or right
wintry junco
that looks beautiful @woven drift
woven drift
gfgfh it took me a while, about 2ish hours overall- it took super long to get rid of all the cliffs tho @orchid linden
ah thank you!!

@fluid crown right

@woven drift 😭😭 well it looks beautiful I wanna get on that level lol

Y’all got tips for making a zen garden

in terms of aesthetics or possibility?

possibility

ivory salmon
coz i tried, and it doesn't allow me
hasty surge
just needs 1 space away
woven drift
Took time, but got rid of most of the cliffs in the top left corner 😅. Thinking of decimating that top river somehow, but keeping the waterfall in C5 intact.
hasty surge

if you can put an item near a tree, you can plant a tree near a item
tip: shovel a hole, then plant the tree
ivory salmon
oki thanks
bronze grove
Should I restart my game? My island looks horrible
fluid crown
you can customize it when you get teramorphing
bronze grove
More in the sense that I placed the buildings in dumb areas
fluid crown
you can move those too
bronze grove
I know but wouldn’t it cost an insane amount of bells
woven drift
fluid crown
not unless youre rich
woven drift
the biggest pain right now is going to be moving villager houses around
I didn't plan for fencing when I originally thought out my town
bro... you gave yourself a mansion
everyone else be having small yards
dusk cove
Lol I love it
craggy stratus
i put almost all my villager buildings on the beach to avoid that problem lol
my beach looks like a landfill
woven drift
Haha I kinda reimagined timeless isle into animal crossing
This is what I tried to make
Loosely...
dusk cove
Pretty good!
woven drift
Tyyy
dusk cove
I can see the resemblance :)
dusk cove
I finally finished the top cliff area
topaz sphinx
Well done
dusk cove
Thanks!
woven drift
Man yall come up with creative stuff and i still haven't got an idea on my island..
dusk cove
The museum is being relocated to the middle and the orchards are on the far ends of the cliff. I’m going to make an outdoor cafe on one side of the museum and maybe a gift shop on the other side? Not sure yet
topaz sphinx
I just moved my museum to the empty section near the entrance
dusk cove
Wow that looks great!
topaz sphinx
It looks pretty nice, I've gotta say
dusk cove
@woven drift I’m just coming up with ideas as I’m going lol
lime ferry
hello all! anybody have some great entrance ideas or seen any good 1s? the area right outside the airport dock area
topaz sphinx
Whats your island layout?
dusk cove
E5 and E6 are is my favorite section of yours
topaz sphinx
Do you have a short plaza path or long?
woven drift
makes sense @dusk cove hopefully i get my idea soon
dusk cove
Good luck!
woven drift
Thanks 🙂
topaz sphinx
No this is a fine section for it @lime ferry
fluid crown
@lime ferry maybe a pathway leading into a water fountain area with benches
lime ferry
oh home as in house home nvm
topaz sphinx
We'll do what we can to help. Do you have a picture of your island?
lime ferry
the map?
topaz sphinx
yeah
lime ferry
getting now 😄
and pathway leading into a water fountain is nice
i plan on moving clothing store so this is all empty - its pretty close to town hall as you can see
indigo hill
is this the right chat to get help with some layout help ?
lime ferry
i think so! lol
indigo hill
so i really did a bad job putting houses and the other buildings
can i show my map and see where i can fix things?
lime ferry
sure, i can offer advice/help
woven drift
Does anyone know the house sizes ?
topaz sphinx
indigo hill
topaz sphinx
Heres what the walk-up to my museum looks like
lime ferry
oh thats pretty nice
woven drift
I love that museum walk up
lime ferry
lol
i like the elegance of it
i saw this online
its off center which is kinda cringey but
idea is nice
lime ferry
lmao
woven drift
Sorry
lime ferry
no its ok, me too
but its the design i guess that counts
its probably meant to be cringe
dusk cove
Other than it being off center, wow
woven drift
Like a good 500k bells in the trash
lime ferry
ive seen it like this and 1 where it is sort of in a valley with waterfalls at the sides
yea the steps ruin it ultimately
woven drift
Its a good idea tho
lime ferry
this is mine - went for a british museum/ louvre type feel being by the water, phone booth, clock, fountain, and cafe
and theres bridges on both sides so its basically an island
and i might replace stone fence with stone and iron fence

<Stairs> _ _ _ _ _ _ <Stairs> and it looks much better
timid kernel
people have done it and it looks better
woven drift
Judging from the angle
topaz sphinx
They could just center it
placid sapphire
Island is at five stars, finally happy with how it looks. Anyone want to tour, DM me for dodocode. Always looking for advice for improvement. Currently replacing all my wood bridges.
topaz sphinx
But they'd have to demolish and rebuild
lime ferry
They could just center it
@topaz sphinx best option
lol
its a simple fix
just requires demolishing and wasting bells
hasty surge
"simple" 
full marten
@placid sapphire OO can I visit :0
lime ferry
oh id like to visit rawk D:
placid sapphire
Yeah, DM me so I can give you the code.
lime ferry
and yea id say simple, just demolish the stairs, and terraform 1 space really
pearl rune
You can’t center on the museum
hasty surge
^
woven drift
Can someone help me out? Idk where to place the shops and what to do to connect the right rivermouth 😂
pearl rune
If you go one to the left it will be offset left
novel pebble
@placid sapphire is it ok if u dm me some pics for your island? It's really late from where I'm from but I would like to see what a island looks like when they just got 5 stars! Feel free to dm pics if.you are willing to share!
full mortar
You can’t center the museum so what I’m doing is the waterfall in the middle and two sets of stairs on either side 🙂
placid sapphire
@novel pebble I've rearranged some of the flowers since I got five stars, but it hasn't changed beyond that since I got it like three days ago. But I will after these folks get a peak.
pearl rune
Is there a limit on stairs
lime ferry
8
timid kernel
there are so many images in this channel now but there are a handful of pictures of what Ari said
yeah that is something to consider, you use 2 of your slots up of the 8
novel pebble
Ok thank you so much! @placid sapphire
pearl rune
Wow. My island design is going to be tricky now with 8
woven drift
sadly i found out that limiter the hard way
lime ferry
yea it sucks, im mapping mine out ahead of time
woven drift
wish there was a way to have a bridge connecting two plots of upper level land
timid kernel
btw @woven drift love the homage to your map, ❤️ BC
lime ferry
keeping in mind 8 incline and 8 bridges
timid kernel
yeah
woven drift
haha ya man i miss when wow was fun now its just a diff game with diff ppl
timid kernel
MoP was probably the last xpack I enjoyed throughout the whole time.. although burning legion was almost good to me
woven drift
mop was my fav xpac
pearl rune
I may only do 1 waterfall on museum then so I just use 2 instead of 4
timid kernel
.. ima get so off topic XD
woven drift
timeless isle is where i had the fondest of memories
topaz sphinx
Actually, remaking a island with the theme of Island of Quel'Danas wouldnt be bad
Thats an interesting island layout
full mortar
Yeah I realised it’s gonna use 4 of my staircase and ive already used one
The limit is so annoying
woven drift
is there anything in game that resembles blood elf architecture?
id like the layout tho
timid kernel
yeah, like making a "floating city" would be super cool! but it'd be sorta hard with that limit.. same with a mountain-y city
topaz sphinx
Nope
woven drift
whag about booty bay?
topaz sphinx
Dalaran would be bonkers
timid kernel
ohhhh booty bay! that'd be fun lol
topaz sphinx
Well I was thinking more Elwynn Forest
You could even use the landscaping tool to recreate the mountains around Northshire Abbey and the plaza could be Goldshire
😛
timid kernel
ahaha that'd be an interesting idea as well
grizzly hills man.. now that'd be a map I'd love to visit, I wonder if we can recreate the sound with the town music option
hasty surge
How many squares of water there needs to be for fish to spawn?
hasty surge
topaz sphinx
But like one square of water (not one space)
torn sphinx
Is there like a website to see what your island would look like if u terriform?
topaz sphinx
No but there should be
torn sphinx
YEAH
topaz sphinx
Oh snaps
vagrant geode
I just want to say you all are very impressive, just looking at starting to change my map is giving me panic attacks 
torn sphinx
Idk what to do with my island honestly
woven drift
just be bold and i think it would turn out good
topaz sphinx
I just made a small little painting park
It's cute and pleasing to the eye
If you need something to fill a bit of space, this can be a nice tiny project to get started with
vagrant geode
I did a cute town center when I got the paths, but now I want to terraform and redo everything haha! how do I get screenies from my switch ?
hasty surge
MicroSD card @vagrant geode
topaz sphinx
You can upload them to twitter and pull them direct to your PC from there
Or micro SD
timid kernel
FB / Twitter can work, some people just snap a photo with their phone but it can come out blurry, and mircoSD works too
vagrant geode
ahh i dont have a card reader anymore, i shall do the twitter way, thanks!
woven drift
Could I hear some feedback on this? 
topaz sphinx
Hmmmmmm
Seems a bit... scattered?
There's potential if thats the goal is to be more of a spread countryside type deal, but I think you'll find it difficult to make sectors that are equal parts aestetic and visually practical
woven drift
uwu
hasty surge
How much you pay for that Pagota?
woven drift
Didn’t pay, doom gave me it
Hmm yeah I went for something more country I guess i'm not sure how much % of the map should be left for farming and stuff 
Was v much needed for my map :)
topaz sphinx
It looks just as good as I figured it would
woven drift
I still have an entire section to do and decorate to my perfection I literally only have 2/5 done
To my liking at least
@woven drift thanks i'm trying my best hahaha
nocturne mulch
question, do y’all prefer 3-wide or 4-wide rivers?
topaz sphinx
Depends on where it is on the map
topaz sphinx
Cos, did you see my new museum walk-up?
woven drift
I don’t believe I did
topaz sphinx
It has, as the kids would say, "the drip"
woven drift
Thank you! @woven drift
topaz sphinx
woven drift
Oo that is nice
topaz sphinx
I need to replace that dumb looking penguin fish fossil with something better
woven drift
I put a assortment of flowers all by my museum bc it makes sense to me to have flowers and stuff
since it’s a museum
I plan on making a cafe soon or smth
hmm yes museums and flowers
manic oriole
im just sittin here still tryna kk to visit.. 😢
woven drift
like peanut butter and jelly
nocturne mulch
they’re like the main rivers that run through the town, so 4 probably makes more sense then! thanks :D

me tooooooo
cosmic marsh
yeah the door is three wide lol annoying
woven drift
ya u right
I really wish we could get a more advanced UI selection for terraforming
waterfalls are nothin
Like grids
compared to waterflies
manic oriole
i
topaz sphinx
I feel like the cliffs and stuff for the waterfalls makes the area look weird
If it's needed for the scenic angle I get it but otherwise meh, could live without
woven drift
True
I do it for scenery and then I decorate on the cliffs
So it’s not just cliff and water
woven drift
yea
manic oriole
i just paid off the 348k loan
woven drift
i made my bridge a waterfall
manic oriole
damn thats nice

eyyyyy that looks great
woven drift
That’s nice af
thx lol
I’m not that talented so I can’t do it like that
dude i have no artistic trait in me
Closest I can do lmao
anyone can do that
i love that
i like the flower choices
woven drift
Hybrid
topaz sphinx
what form of sorcerry
woven drift
Too lazy to move them to the hybrid section
woven drift
I had to organize my flowers for like 4 hours yesterday
There’s way too many for me to organize at the museum but it’d look so pretty if I did
But ugh
the flowers are a hassle
when i first got the game i didnt know anything about flowers and ended up having to dig up like 200 flowers
timid kernel
i spent like 50k on flowers.. i know i need a lot to get a quick rating in a few days so i figured i'd lay down a lot of them now lol
woven drift
Well pro tip don’t just plant a bunch of different ones
Bc you will regret it
Moving them is hell
woven drift
Alright that’s good then
timid kernel
so i know where to go when i'm all done, yeah ty tho ❤️
timid kernel
oh boy lol
timid kernel
whatever works 😄 ima need to pick up like 7 gardens though.. but 3 of them can stay. xD
ivory lichen
i spent 3 hours doing this last night lol
woven drift
I have 4 stars my next goal is 5 stars
timid kernel
hahaha that looks like fun!
woven drift
That looks fun but can’t imagine how frustrated I’d get trying to make that
timid kernel
i feel like that would be a cool idea for the people who want to make their maps into full interactive maps for mazes / find the money in it
woven drift
@woven drift wish i got that protip day 1 -_-
timid kernel
putting in random stuff like that

topaz sphinx
I have a double sided multi-fall near my village shrine
woven drift
I learned from previously resetting my past island, I cleaned up weeds first thing before anything at the beginning of the game
Made things much easier
ivory lichen
also, how does the custom design path in the island designer work?
woven drift
You have to buy it
topaz sphinx
Similar to "place on ground" but more permanent
hushed hull
Does anyone have any examples of their village in mountains(-:
ivory lichen
neat, so i'm guessing tile-like designs work best?
woven drift
The fact u have to put up a sign for people not to pick my flowers is annoying I might have to spend an additional 3 hours hating off my flowers
Gating*
topaz sphinx
I tend to leave mine open. If they wanna pick my flowers thats fine, they grow back
woven drift
True it’s just my pet peeve
topaz sphinx
Not like they can take the actual flowers
Plus a lot of people run through mine and kill them anyways :/
topaz sphinx
My village is made so you can pick the fruit of your liking at the entrance
woven drift
Well that’s good
topaz sphinx
I think it makes people happy
woven drift
I don’t like people touching my stuff so I’m very nitpicky
timid kernel
yeah as long as they aren't best friended i think they are limited
shaking your money trees could be annoying i guess
woven drift
Oh I didn’t know that
timid kernel
they can pick flowers tho, shake trees
woven drift
Yes I block off my money trees when ppl come if it’s not my bf who’s visiting
timid kernel
but idk if they can pick up random stuff like items you place out such as a sand castle
unless you drop it in leaf-form
woven drift
I think only in leaf form
hasty surge
@topaz sphinx omfg im making something similar and thank you for the idea of putting tha stone slab loike that
woven drift
Lol

Oh

Oh the Japanese stone
hasty surge
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
topaz sphinx
It looks better when viewed from the front
Theres incense and stuff nearby
And at night the lanterns turn on
It looks nice

so cool

I relegated all of my trees to one area for the most part
Makes harvesting wood for projects stupid fast (provided you pack medicine for wasp stings)
