too bad i cant hang my survellance cameras outside
right? I'm so disappointed we can't put wall decor on cliffsides
Can someone help me figure out how to downsize my fruit farm
u can leave 1 space buffer between each tree
does anyone have any tips in general for island design? :3
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EU9JXqVUYAE5BME?format=jpg&name=large got rid of the double waterfall because it was pissing me off...what can you do eh
thats about it
@queen nexus what ruins it is the back land area, it means that there isnt a continuous flowing water
Hmm
How do I fix it?
Would I have to get rid of the whole back land
i notice when i try to do a double there's at least one spot i can't turn into water too
Just add a river to the top?
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do in this space? (Edge past water)
okay i'll try it
@heavy summit have u finished sekiro
anyone have any ideas to fix my entrance? It's finished but it's elevated so I have no idea how to make it flow
ishin tss or the easier one
@woven drift post pic
Ramp
a ramp wouldnt work unless I added a hell of a lot cliff and extra spaces
then u gonna want to move that whole thing back
or revolve most of ur island around ur entrence by making it bigger and connect with the rest of the island lol
do fences count as furniture for the island rating?
fences count as fencing i think, isabelle recommends adding fences to increase score
oh I see, thanks!!
Yeah they're separate. I've had Isabelle ask to increase both fencing and furniture separately.
How so?
Cause then i can fuck around with it and re do it if i dont like the results
start from step 1
Ah that makes sense
does anyone have pictures to send of their "courtyard" area? trying to figure out what i should do for mine but running low on ideas ;v;
@queen nexus u need a square block of land to seperate each ends of a waterfall
ur making a new waterfall going to the sides
correct me if im wrong but something about that square still seems like its curved to me. the bottom corner isn't really a corner, ie something below it perhaps is aking it look curved stand corrected
thats what its suppose to look like
waterfalls can't intersect at corners
u need a block of dirt to seperate waterfalls
oh really? :/
yep
i’m never looking at towns again i get so jealous
anyone know if custom billboards/signs are a thing in this game?
I basically want a custom pattern but on some kind of billboard or signpost
i fucking wish
@wintry junco You can set up any of your designs on an easel or the ground. That's it as far as I know
i would love a town square like thzt
is that suppose to be a middle finger
is this ur island or an editor to preview
i dont know if u can put a bridge so close together if its on preview
has anyone been able to make a ruins area?
Ruins? Hmm do we even have such objects that could work for that
A Greek pillar but kinda deteriorated
i dont think there is enough furniture to do a ruins area
Do we have any of these in the new game?
You could also try maybe a Mayan Theme Ruins
@nova quarry man your map looks awesome! fo you have photos of the actual island?
thank you! ^_^
it's a bit of a work in progress so I haven't taken many but I can get a few, my phone camera isn't the greatest though > . <
Im definitely borrowing some ideas, i even have the same layout almost
dont worry about the quality, its just for inspiration haha
i dont even have the money to move houses and buildings yet haha but i can start thinking about it
Bridges can be over water in level 3 or 2 right?
Could try to find these pillars then use some QR code’s to place on the ground that look like stone. Could place the ruins by the museum and put fossils around like amber and other small fossils. Idk I think the idea is good! Just gotta look for things and use imagination @umbral trench
U could use the Stonehenge for the ruins
oooo
that screenshot is from NH? @dreamy fox
the only pillars I see in the item doc are the frozen pillars
Unfortunately, there are no pillars in NH, except the Winter seasonal ice one
I reset my island. Should I have my buildings behind my town hall or in front?
No the one that I sent last is apparently from this game!
Including houses and such
yeah seems like it, huge missed opportunity
Oh fr?
Closest you can get to pillars is the Palace wallpaper
Damn that sucks that photo looks like it’s from NH 😭
what fences would y'all say look the best with brick pathing?
I tried iron but it's so blue lol
Maybe the brick fence? Or the rope fence? Ehh idk that’s a hard one
too much symmetry for me
have u tested that 2 bridges and even be next tto each other like that
Walking behind the resident services is tough @unborn blade
i tried making an L shape with my bridges and it says its too close
@dreamy fox I tried brick and it felt too suffocating @_@ even with 4 wide paths
They probably can but need some space between the bridges
Probably 5 squares between?
have you tried the iron-and-stone fence?
@worldly birch maybe rope then? Or the imperial one?
I'll probably make a bunch of that tomorrow and test it out, my inventory is full of a ton of difference fences trying to get this area looking nice
Terra-cotta is the best path 
Would Stone steps, the brown imperial bridge and the wooden paths look good together?
I can’t decide on the color layout ugh
Best to just try it out and see how it looks. 🤷🏽♀️ sounds like an interesting combo
Happy with my final layout
How are you able to have two people live on one island-
Yeah the zen one lol
the real question is how do u have 2 people have their own island on the same switch
I might do the red since the wooden path looks red
you don't
then u answered ur own question 
Guys, I need help. I want to “tier” my island but don’t know how to work it around what I have already done.
I have this big open area in front of my house that I want to make a Japanese Garden in... does anyone have some ideas or references for what I could do?
Basically ur going to want to realize you’ll be spending anywhere from 1-♾ hours terraforming
After that it just goes downhill
I might’ve just spent 12 hours terraforming 🤠 I hate it
i leveled out my entire island and i can tell you that i am now in terraforming hell every day
it seems like a great idea but then it’s just not
@woven drift sekiro is a good reference
rate my tiger enclosure? (:
I am soo glad I finished terraforming today!
I freaking hate the hit box
Does this frozen arch look good here or is it too much it’s right in front of airport entrance
@heady dew that'll look tight in the winter
Yay or nay? Too much going on?
anyone got suggestions for building a path towards the museum? I'm annoyed how 2 path wide doesnt work and 3 path wide looks awkward
anyone have museum inspo? 🥺👉👈
I'll fix the bottom
@ashen pike the frozen arch is so cool u can customize its color
@heady dew yeah i have the shell arch in pearlescent in front of my yard, i think you can custo all the arches 😄
Yeah, since all the arches are craftables-only
Here's my museum @vast crystal
@flat flame u might wanna cut more land into water like this
not every craftable is customizable tho
I have the shell arch too in front of my house i made mine yellow
Finally done
@heavy summit thanks!
It took me so long to get the frozen arch recipe those snowboys r so annoying to make perfect
Can someone send me some aesthetically pleasing pictures of their island
I just wanna look at pretty islands
my island entrence with the 2 makeshift guard towers lol
@unborn blade theres a cap on the amount of bridges/inclines you can have also not sure on the number
I think the cap is 8? I'm not 100% sure
its 8 bridges and 8 incline so ive heard
I love the gaurd towers
its 8
SO SAD
my idea called for 10
so I found out the hard way
@steel bough do a makeshift bridge
i have 8 inclines planned and 7 bridges. I kind of want to push for another bridge but i feel like it will nowhere nicely. just annoys me mildly that im 1 away from cap
@median nebula is your pic octavian?
u can hop over 1 whole square
one sec ill get a pic of my map, maybe someone can suggest a good bridge spot for #8, if there is one im missing
also yes octavian is by far my fave
the middle parts are half square to keep symmetry
ty for the idea :D
Omg same! I love him and knox. Octavian just moved in I'm super stoked haha
heres my island. can anyone suggest somewhere for my 8th bridge? can even build more river if that would work
i kind of feel slightly off having max inclines and only 7 bridges. (my final incline is going directly north of the currently building one)
you can see the cutout for it
u sould have a bride somewhere around there so u can go into the beach without going around
@heavy summit
i can. its easily hoppable
its too thin for a brige vinhny. its 1 block then 2 blocks wide
other than that u really dont need an 8th bridge
i know i dont need one atall, its just ever so slightly annoying. if theres nothing im missing i can live with it though
Main river will get rebuilt tomorrow
Is it possible to turn a bridge into a dock for a lake? It sounds like a stretch, but I think it'd be a cool thing to do
You can hop over 1.5 blocks if needed also as a fyi
do you like my new art piece
7 wide museum is making me big anger omg
What do u think
@brisk heath i made a 4 bridge diamond to a double staircase one left one right
was having the same problem
4 bridge diamond to a double staircase? I'm not following
i have a 3 wide path leading to 2 diagonal bridges
that lead to 2 diagonal bridges again like to make a diamond
the 2 staircases
one going left one going right
thats a lot of bridges lol
I wanted to keep the museum on the same level so i could have a waterfall behind it but idk if its feasible anymore
the area im building on is already 2nd level which is just how my current island is planned out, so museum would also need to be on 2nd level to have waterfalls still
maybe make a plaza in front?
I guess i could lower everything down to one level but thats good portion of stuff i already designed
Anyone know how I can place stuff in the middle of tables outdoors lol
some fountains
I'm trying to put some flowers in the middle of a natural garden table
no clue man srry
I WILL PAY 1 MILLION BELLS FOR THE BEST DESIGN ISLAND PLEASE HELP :3 DM
name of the page happy island designer
ya.. my original plan was to have a path rivers on each side and nova lights on the way, but idk if thats feasible anymore, ill have to think about it
I WILL PAY 1 MILLION BELLS FOR THE BEST DESIGN ISLAND PLEASE HELP :3 DM
name of the page happy island designer
@fresh venture pay up lol
@fresh venture let me take some pics of my island bc i dont have one made on the app
how do people have the money to get so many bridges and inclines i only have 1 bridge in my town and its the original bridge i started off with
turnip tax evasion
if you are interested to help me DM and the best design i will pay 1m bells :3
mattsu thats a very good looking island
turnips is the way
im still starting my grand plans
@unique creekyou have the town in other pmace i really like the design but i can use it :'(
the nook town
18 mb video gross
what is pmace lol'
jesus its all path
@hard quiver i do alot of market place selling to get my money to fund my island
my English is not very good
i see
my campsite area. feedback would be awesome 🙂
i would round off those cliff edges to make it look more natural
k
museum entrance in progress.. need 2 more bridges and the 2 stairs at the end they go behind the wall
there's a maximum of 8 bridges and inclines just letting u know
8 each or both lol?
yeah
8 each
half but yeah
ill use some other stairs on my house and the town
dont think ill use more than 5-6 bridges though
what do you guys think so far?
my island is actually 2 islands change my mind
it's neat
wait what, you can have 4 layers? you cant build water on the 4th later it seems though?
no you cant climb to layer 4
yeah
but you can construct it
yeah cuz you cant get up to dig water out
man i wish we could have water on it, this would solve my current dilemna
same
why whats wrong?
we want more waterfalls lol
calm down with the water falls 
@unique creek is the wooden path an in game pattern? i haven’t unlocked terraforming yet
well to able to put like what i just did but on the second level
i want waterfalls on my museum but my museum needs to be on the 2nd layer which means i cant build a double staircase up to it
it is @whole barn
as the path that would lead up to the museum i have planned is also on 2nd level
@pliant cypress ty!!
:0
why are ppl so creative and why am i not
what width do rivers need to be for bridges?
Hey all. This is essentially what I’ve got right now. I’m drawing a huge blank on what to do with the bottom left river. I almost want a way to connect it, but I’m clueless on how
@brisk heath at least 3
I come up with it in my head
at least? it can be more?
Does anyone know how many "squares" nooks cranny and the able sisters shops are?
Trying to plan them out in my town
I think 4 is the max but don't quote me on that
nook is 7x4, able is 5x4
anyone showing off their island rn who can give me the dodo code?
anyone basically say fuck it to fruit trees and just get rid of them all
i left a corner of my island to just harvesting every type of tree
I’m keeping a few to have around but that’s pretty much what I’m doing yeah
and its blocked off so noone can steal it
ur town rating will suck if u do that
really? you need fruit trees or just trees
trees
this is my current island layout! im pretty satisfied with it so far, but i dont know what to do with the upper quarter of my island (the area marked in blue). any ideas are welcomed!
oh i thought u meant all trees
just have a little corner of fruit trees so you can have a good source of money coming in
can make a graveyard up there lol
😐
i dont have enough resources or time for that
Maybe a nature walkway?
hmm
Heres my map :o
i made a nature walkway on my island
actually smth like a zen garden would be nice
pics?
thats what I'm doing for the top part
of the walkway @heady dew
i wish we could have multiple island in one switch, i would easily make a maze island . the center is rare goodies
big agree
im not on my switch rn maybe later @queen nexus maybe u can come to my island later and see
sure!
right now, im hosting a free visit for market place, since they didnt wanna pay me.
a villager is teaching golden armor diy and i made the code public
its funny to see them all try to come in at the same time and try to leave
Lol I almost want to join the chaos
u can if u want but ur gonna see alot of loading screan of people coming in and leaving
But I have PTSD from the noise it makes when someone is entering or leaving. So I’m not even gonna go look in that channel
ur reward if it doesnt disconnect is a golden armor diy
I don’t even have enough gold so I’ll wait 😅😅
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EU9l1QhU0AAKEFm?format=jpg&name=large i think i'm kind of satisfied with how my map is coming along
so much path 
U have a lot of wolves lol I used to but I didn’t like having so many
I only have 3 wolves rn
as you can see kyle left me lol
Someone traded me Raymond for my Wolfgang lol
I wanted to put my islanders all in the top 1/3 of my island in the hills, that way I can be more creative with the rest of my village. But this one house a day moving delay is throwing off those plans
These r my villagers
lucky
dang i want bob
It was so hard to get them
too many lazies for me tho
I wish Amiibo Cards wouldnt cost a fortune currently
u shoulda hopped on it before ACNH dropped
raymond, audie AND bob....what is ur luck..
prices were like 10-20 before the game released
i bought amiibo festival just for isabelle and digby amiibo
I’m making my own amiibo
didnt know it came with 3 amiibo cards too
i have 1 pack of amiibo cards from each series, but a lot of them are my least favorite villagers 😔
That’s why I don’t want to risk getting a pack.
the only "good" ones i have are zucker and goldie
Especially right now while prices are high
yea
i bought some non-official cards from an etsy seller who was selling them for a pretty fair price so hopefully that'll go well
Im after Cherry right now
do you guys like to use custom paths or nah
i dont have enough resources or time for that
@hard quiver probably an orchard leading to a meteor shower viewing area?
I cant even find Series 1 Amiibo cards anymore
i saw marshal's card going for $200 once
can u get marshal in mystery islands?
you can get any character on mystery islands
I dont get why everyone wants Marshal, not a fan 
also i use a custom path on my island
you just gotta look on apps like depop and etsy for cheap cards
some people make them
this is the custom path im using for my island
neat 
between ankha and marshal those 2 go for ridiculously high prices on ebay
i wonder if its cause of the pron
well i think thats how she's gotten a good majority of her fans
i just found a fan made marshal amiibo card for $5
it works like a normal amiibo card
Anyone want Al? I will trade him for 1 bell
DVWDX
if you guys want to come visit my island to check it out
also prison cell number 9 is crafting golden armor DIY
if you wanna help donate to my stairs, any amount of bells help
if you guys dont know which prison cell it is, im standing inside the prison cell
Hey guys can we keep this chat on topic please?
im gonna be afk, currently rn noone is on the island
i have no clue where to put my museum it's killing me
i guess the entire chat decides to die once i open my mouth 😔
what does ur island look like?
post ur map and we can help, we dont know what ur place looks like
this is the entrance to mine (work in progress)
thoughts? its a ticket booth for my botanical garden, museum, and carnival area
pretty cool
looks nice
ty 😄
wouldnt it make sense to like do an S shape with the rope
yeah but idk if i have room 😦
dope
is there some kind of gravestone?
its crafting DIY
do you get the recipe from villigers
western style is harder to get and more popular
@brazen mulch I’m working on a carnival, too! Do you have any pics of yours?
u might be needed around 5 nmt to get it hopefully
i personally like the zen more bc of my island theme
ok thanks
btw anyone visiting my island. im standing inside cell number 9 thats where the free golden armor diy is at
Im not at my switch so i cant see
Is there a limit to how many bridges and inclines you can have on your island?
8 each
8 each
Ok thanks
Someone with a forest part or theme? Need some ideas
@woven drift i have a video! its not really that much of a carnival area https://twitter.com/ihatemaplestory/status/1247084820678635522
@uncut abyss im trying to do a forest theme but im barely finished 🥺
can waterfalls only go in one direction?
like, can i have a double sided waterfall on the same tile?
cant go on corners
@vast crystal Oke : ) Feel free to open the gates anyway if u feel like
only restrinction i think
hmm, ill need to experiment then, i can't seem to get double sided waterfalls to work
yup
What do u guys think of my map idea? :3?
yup
Yeah
1 space buffer i think
anyone able to help me with my island design? I’m stuck
Ironically, my museum was right next to the river on the back, no buffer and it was fine
Can bridges be placed on layer 2 or 3 of an island?
It’s hard 2 see but there’s a two space gap between the museum and river
is it a one space buffer? that makes a big difference in my planning
Like can bridges bridge over level one and not water? I don't think so but maybe I'm incorrect
love the design fizzy
Can bridges be placed on layer 2 or 3 of an island?
@void jackal I know bridges can be placed on at least layer 2
no i tried that lulu'
Tysm! :D!
Made this yesterday, downtown is a cute park and the rest is forest and waterfalls
like over a clif not water
looks very pretty
i wish cherry blosoms were a tree by themselves
Right!?
Made this yesterday, downtown is a cute park and the rest is forest and waterfalls
@patent sky cutiee
This is the overall map:
could anyone confirm or deny if buildings need a one space buffer from water?
my island's name is okami which is jpns for wolf and ill eventually have all wolves
The entrances do
not sure ionic srry
We can...rebuild
My museum's back is right on the river
could anyone confirm or deny if buildings need a one space buffer from water?
@brisk heath You do not need a one space buffer from water for the back of a building
alright cool, thats what im also trying to do, have my museum surrounded by a river except for the entrance
waterfall museums r the best
How do you remove water
im trying to enclose the museum in a waterfall with a one tile river around, maybe ill make it two tile idk
u unlock terraformig at 3 star rating
then a plaza area and a bridge from that
I have it I just don't know how to remove water
Can you put paths under the front of houses?
DVWDX
if you guys want to come visit my island to check it out
also prison cell number 9 is crafting golden armor DIY
if you wanna help donate to my stairs, any amount of bells help
if you guys dont know which prison cell it is, im standing inside the prison cell
Waterscaping permit i think it's called
the select it during build mode and press a on it

yeah
@lone flume yes
Wait are you the one who has the jailed villagers
I think I saw that on Twitter
@heavy summit are you selling cherry blosom lanters by any chance??
This is the result for my map. What do you think
Oh no i dont have any spare ones
Can a bridge be placed flush up against a waterfall?
@patent sky i jailed my villagers but i didnt post on twitter
well i think
Vague idea of how i want my island to look like
Cafe?
Yea a selfmade one kinda
In this game its going to be new DLC buildings who destroy our beauty islands instead of new villagers spawning in the middle of a garden
Sadly no building
@heavy summit lanterns or statues on the basement are dyi rigth?
Iirc everything but the skeletons is dyi
Hey I'm coming to visit cause I wanna chance at the golden armor
Not inclduing floor and walls
do you have the recepi or did you buy em?
I have the recipe
I'll also help toward the stairs fund :)
Oh btw if u want the cherry blossom lantern just give me the petals and ill make it for u
can i bring mats and money for you to craft some for me some day?
I dont need the money but sure
oh i have the dyi for that but not many petals
ty ill dm you we can set up a date some day
Sell ur stuff for petals
Dude I need help trying to plan out the paths and fences and trees and flowers for my main island, I’m having builders block
I have no idea where to even begin working around this town hall, and would be eternally grateful to anyone with even the loosest idea of what could be done
it is... just barely in the wrong place for everything I want to do
Oof that town hall placement
you could center the museum on the back and conect the rivers to a water fall behind it
You can do like a visitors center type thing?
put the bridges like on C & D
the temptation to reroll grows daily.
I considered wrapping it in cliffs with the stores above it, but the town hall's so fuckhuge that you never get a good look at everything from one place
@strange verge start with your rivers, and build around, or start with your houses, and fit your rivers around - the former if you want something more natural, the latter if you want something more urban
anyone know the dimensions of a full-sized home?
5x4
Y'all why can't I leave vinnhys town
thanks
I have a town hall that is similarly placed, I brought the path up from the plane exit and it was about one block away from my town hall, so I just wrapped the whole path circularly around the town hall and it looked fairly good like that
pretty sure, anyway
Someone has thier menu up lol
my airport path cuts straight into the edge of the plaza, so i'd have to jog it over to do so
Let them leave 
Ah that sucks
As such
Prison
@woven drift did u get the golden armor diy
Suitable town to get trapped in Ey?
I’d cut short of the town hall then and Branch out in a T
Yes
Just to get something even
Hey guys, does anyone know if you can only make your inclines facing upwards, left, or right? I want a decline descending unto the top beach of the map.
. What
Im jking
I was boutta scream at u in dms gdfbdhfbdndn
What website do you use to make the map plans
Oh?????? Thanks!!
This is the current solution i had, and while it looks nice, I'd like to put waterfalls around it without blocking things behind it if possible
https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/ is what im using
If u wanna see what it looks like before u do it u can visit my island, im away from switch but i got the code @teal totem
That’s nice! I’d keep working with that idea
Maybe test it on your island as well
Ok so guys, the idea was to move nooks here but the plot is too small i believe, what could i build here?
So far so good! (Just ignore the right side for now xD)
You could put a fountain there
@heavy summit thanks for the offer! However, I'm actually gonna log off soon for the night.
Fountains are great! 😀
Fountain is just to the right @primal ginkgo lol, the idea was to have fountain in middle, ables to the right and nooks on the left, but thats out of the question now
Hmmm maybe try a sitting area? Or if your ables is already to the right you could put a stall there and make a different area for a shop? Maybe do a mini coffee shop or outdoor cafe design
Tip for building stuff, dig holes for alignment. You could extend it a lil bit so you can move it there
What else fits in a prison setting? I have an outdoor gym area, and educational schooling area, and i have the woods area for them to work. What else could i add to a prison setting
But if you wanna keep it exactly as is, what Kay said seems good too
anybody have street, sidewalk qr codes? please dm me. n post ur own streets
Cafeteria @heavy summit
does anyone have a list of all the different island layouts?
The big square to the right of the store is an outdoor food marketplace
Thats what ive currently got. Its cute, but a bit wide for adding onto. Also tough to decide how to connect it elsewhere
@past tapir you can check out #path-codes as well! People have posted stuff there toi
Maybe a workout place! Thx @heavy summit for the idea
Dang kitchen stuff is the hardest stuff to get
@past tapir you can check out #path-codes as well! People have posted stuff there toi
@silk lark thanks
It isssss 👀 Can't get all the stuff I want for mine
@heavy summit visiting center, communal showers, metal detectors/security area
Oh! You could do a playground there?
I have a security area inside my house
I HATE this os uneven wow thx nintendo
Like a camera room lol
New update to get an extra villager nintendo pls
I’m planning an area for a small playground just some springy ride ons and slides and things
nintendo needs a update to remove rocket from the game
AGREED
worst villager ever along with this weird monkey i forgot her name
@quasi relic Just get a 2nd player/house and it'll solve the problem 😂
I made an arena where people can bash each other with nets! Yes, inspired by that one Alpharad video, but my own execution!
(or just move the player icon into the center of both columns like a sane person)
I wish the villager count was 12 or higher so I could get all my favs together 😞
same ^
Btw i give my villagers prison clothes to wear 
@sly parcel i refuse to have an abandoned house
someone should make a hopscotch town like its all water and u gotta hop across stones to travel around
i want apollo , goose and rodeo out
noo Apollo is so cool i have him
Also wanna ask about this: im making the entrance to my museum and i placed stonehenge to the left, what could i place in the right?
noo Apollo is so cool i have him
Isnt like amiibo festival like 10-15 dollars on amazon, it comes with 2 amiibos and 3 amiibo cards u can use to kick them out
Ohhh you have Whitney! I love her
@quasi relic definitely should do a trex if it fits like night at the museum lol
@quasi relic dinosaur fossil or a big fish
You do already have a big Dino in front tho
T rex is in the front lol
Maybe Pisa tower?
Pyramid or Pisa?
Not sure about all the items in the game, maybe a few things from Gulliver?
I agree
There’s a Japanese tower from Gulliver that might work too
The pagoda?
Yeah!
Im using pagoda for a shrine, and im in need of a second pagoda to finish it lol
sphinx might b cute
so im thinking something like this for my museum, the flowers are actually nova lights, any flaws to this that you can see?
maybe with the pyramid?
Which looks better? The two stone lions or frozen arch?
Yeah sphinx too
The lions look better
I like the lions personally
@brisk heath that seems super cool !
Use it for something else ;P
i just hope the game will actually let me build it lol
How does your grass look grey in that second image?
you might have to put squares of land under the lights but that would look fine i think
@versed depot I was in January trying to unlock the frozen arch
alright time to get building
Ahhh gotcha
the bridges can be that close right?
any recommended arcs as the entrance to the museum?
i guess i can test really quick
How do you guys have the patience for these terraforming tools. I'm struggling chipping away at these cliffs lmao.
i dont have patience, im always mad when terraforming
Me too, definitely the most frustrating part of the game
@quasi relic if ur willing to time travel the tree one might look good in front of museum
@valid harness Make sure you’re removing them in strips so you don’t have to smack it more than once
i hate when i acidentaly edit the same river spot 6 times in a row agh (@heady dew any pics?)
this is my thing for kidnapping Sahara and Celeste ~
@quasi relic I’ll look it up on google
@primal ginkgo Ty yeah that took me a hot minute to realize
What planner do people suggest to use for my island? Especially making sure the icons are all the correct sizes?
Everyone here uses happy island designer for the most part
are the sizes accurate tho?
I think they are for the most part
@topaz crow does ur map look like this?
@quasi relic it’s called trees bounty arch
You just have to be cautious about spacing since it seems like a lot on happy island designer but it will probably be a lot closer in game
dang i dont have it, but it wouldnt fit the color scheme, its too green, the entrance to the museum is gray is, like a cementery
There’s the stone arch that would probably go best I think if it’s the right size
If it’s gray then try the stone arch
Solid gray and sort of oldish
It costs 90 stone to make tho
Is the stone arch customizable? Like various color schemes or whatever
@stiff scroll there’s one customization option for it
dang im struggling with 3 pieces of stone LOL
It’s moss
can DIY recipes vanish??? i swear i had the stone arc
U have to buy it from the machine at upgraded resident services
Should be in the abd
oh then it was my mind playing tricks lol
This is my map not sure if it looks nice on the map but it’s pretty cool in the game
lets us visit
U can come if u want
I love it!
Outdoor gym or outdoor table
gym is tickling my liking
and the expand on the ourdoor tables somewhere else
Lmao supreme
how do you all feel about one wide waterfalls
What’s the size of a villager house
@brisk heath if done right, they cann look good
I though that said one 'side' waterfalls lol
They look good, especially when going for the Zelda games look
Black lily mini garden
"mini"
Lol
mine is probably the mini one haha, only 4 xD
This is where u walk in
ayo acid can i visit lol
sure I’m gonna make a dodo code and just post it here
urs looks so cool
i be omw
just block off ur flowers if u can
does anyone else hate orville?
It’s so lame how we can’t have more than one town per switch... I have some good ideas for towns but I don’t want to keep restating my game
Nah he's cute
bruh he talks so much
Welcome to Animal Crossing
What sucks the most for me is how long it’s gonna take to move all of these buildings to the right place since I don’t wanna tt
lets be honest, the menus and options in this game suck
Oh yeah it’s horrible
In order to flush a toilet you have to go through like 15 options of dialogue
i have to eat up 7 prompts just to get to someone's island
Having to wait a day to move something is the worst.
do you wanna go online? >ye
do you wanna connec to the internet >ye
like why is that even an option
I'm slowly laying out my paths but I hate how custom paths don't show on the map
The point of going online is to connect to the internet
communication disrupted...
i know
Too many people tried to join so it crashed
Same here
@quasi relic and when you accidentally choose the wrong response and start the dodo convo all over again
I’ll make a new code
I watch him occasionally
J2KND is new code hopefully it doesn’t crash this time
By him I mean Joel
i sent him a pic of my basement (im talking abt vinny)
I need some shopping district inspo
I have one in my town @ivory condor
ill b omw again
Wtf
Ive said this last time i saw that pic but dang i love cursed basements lol
Someone having a 'forest part'/nature type of look that I can get some inspo from?
rip
Who’s Tayler when they try to come it makes it crash
this was the guy's response to my mail lol
@woven drift Yeah, I noticed that the other day, when I tried out a few random spots. It's pretty annoying. You also can't dig in those spots either, I've noticed, like you can with the in-game paths
I dunno if it affects stuff dropping from balloons tho. You can still drop items onto custom paths
Anyone got a open town with a dodo?
@silk lark let's hope they fix that. I don't like the basic paths
Why are there no white bridges ahhh
Are there any premium house customizations like there were in New Leaf, such as the gold one, the zen one, etc?
museum will be where the path is, thoughts?
Good so far I guess
you guess?
I have poor imagination and can't envision it well
this is the end goal
I think it’s amazing but it could use some extra decor
ya it will have stuff to decorate, this is just the landscaping part
Rip
idk if i want the main museum area to be bigger or not
museum doesn't need to be in the front at all
I would prio shops and house in front over everything else
tree standee and grass standee 
Visit Invicta, the first 5 star island. 86MDL
thats a bold claim lol
@umbral trench thank you, for atleast being one person who answers :)
Just got done planning my island ovo!
probably going to add a bit more around the town hall and museum in game
u have 0 elevation
Heck.
how are u gonna get those fishes that only spawn in elevation
i forgot to add that lmao. the top row on the houses, they're supposed to be elevated.
though thats bout it
Excuse me if I am incorrect, but I believe the only river to ocean outlets are the ones that the island is created with.
Also, I'm sorry but you only get two exit points and their permanent where they spawn
nice were doing the samw elecated thing
^
ppl really like stacking villager houses next to each other huh
Yes, I have all mine in the same place @woven drift ovo I kind of traced off my old one.
yeah
my place is a prison, so it makes sense
lmao
not the greatest path for that kuku
I like spacing my villager houses out and giving them a decent amount of yard
makes it fun to customize their lawns and when new ppl move in I can change up the lawns to fit the new villager
^
Also, I dont know if anyone needs to hear this but you can eat easter eggs to move trees xD
they shouldnt have broken the law if they wanted space
lmao
I love how they put a jail cell in the game lmao
@static karma I moved my whole orchard entirely on the tons of water eggs i have amassed lmaooo
the jail cell is bigger than the cells in dungeon wallpaper
does anyone have any advice for making downtown like areas bcs im kinda struggling
this is my town so far. im moving the villager houses, campsite, museum and possibly the shops. i have no clue where to put the museum and campsite though :(
Nice!
If anyone wants to check out my island! Keeping it open for 10 mins then heading to sleep. Code is: 8J23D
jesus
cant really include the elevation BUT it is in my brain, which is all that matters lmao
but fixed it a lil
anyone see anything off that i can fix?
👍
Anyone in the summer months on your world? I will pay to come and fish
@dreamy fox nice town! it feels so overwhelming though 😭
Looking to come over to someone’s island for inspiration I’m stuck
Oh idk what happend, but imma help to sleep thanks for stopping by!
@broken epoch just make a bunch of waterfalls they look rlly nice and r good space fillers
Thanks!
I'm going to assume with terraforming I still have to pay for bridges and ramps?
Yes
tyty
You can also hop across small gaps, so you could make a cheap "bridge" by having multiple stepping stones, without sealing off the river and turning it into a pond
Ooooo didn't think about that. Thank you! :D
does anyone have any heart pond tutorials? i got rid of my natural one bc I wanted to move it/change it’s size n am now lost hehe
(I’m also trying to make it straight and not sideways, I know how to do it that way)
Not a tutorial but I have this pic haha
I think the sideways ones I’ve seen are more accurately heart shaped
I think flowers are cool but I can’t bring myself to use them personally
Can I visit someone’s island? Dm me Xx
that’s cute! thank you! yeah the sideways one are shaped way better but I like the look of the straightened out one on the map better and for symmetry reasons
@topaz crow are they not able to leave for good if you do that?
Hey guys, what kinda "areas" do you have planned for your island? For example, an amusement park, or a boardwalk, those type of things
I'm having trouble thinking up of some
@cyan halo they can teleport sometimes when people leave or join, but they can’t walk away
hmmm, whats everyones opinion on 4 long vs 3 long bridges?
Outdoor cafe, picnic area, playground, shopping district
Has anyone made a theme park / carnival they are willing to send pics of. I need ideas as I’m stuck on where to begin
Any ideas for a small welcome plaza? Right now I’m thinking a fountain and clock. I’d like some sort of lighting but I don’t think streetlamps will work since I use them nearby and it’d look out of pattern...
@versed depot maybe a few vending machines and public benches
looks nice
Any tips on how to create a cute lil restaurant/cafe?
I hear the slide dividers work really nice
To set up as a wall around it?
Yeah
@tranquil rivet Thank you! Yours are awesome as well!
Lemme look those up then lol 👀 ty
Yup yup :3
Here is my island night club
Thats pretty sweet
Thanks!
You should try custom designs for the ground 🤔
Yea I want to but I don’t even know where to begin
Legit that’s my goal.. I might look around for some floor QR code’s
The planks are just a place holder atm
Thanks! those damm palm trees needed so much space to put there so I had to dig into areas and cut areas out
@tranquil rivet i rlly like ur abstract path design
do u have any pointers with that stuff
@shell plume thanks! I was just messing around with the design tool, making a bricky/dark path
Just try stuff out I guess
thats cool
Picnic area
I like it!
nice
Anyone know if there’s some sort of statue I could display on top of one of these?
idk if the dinosaur can
Isn't there that stone gargoyle?
That'd look pretty cool idk if I'd fit your theme.
is it possible to move the rocks on the island? Like at the mouth of rivers etc?
Sauna area I made, the stones were rough to make
Also is it possible to move the resident services area?
nope
That's so cute
@kindred yarrow ooo I’ll look into that
@plain hull what's that table called?
Any ideas of what to do with this area?
do what @nimble trail did
im so bad at this im literally like. have no idea how to plan my island at all and its stressing me out cuz i know things i wanna make but i just dont know how to arrange them
😉
fax @reef wasp
do ur villagers stay close to their houses? they wont go on the cliffs for me even tho theyre accessible
@woven drift a katoska or something?
@nimble trail Omg for a sec, I thought that grave at the top was the froggy chair lol
XDDD
Im gonna change it out for the zen gravestone when I get enough materials
Can you move multiple resident houses in a day? Or is a one a day like moving your house or a facility?
Nope.
😭😭😭
can i visit anyone’s island
Does anyone have a hot spring area, trying to get some inspiration?
thoughts between the two?
I know its a small detail but its bugging me right now
obviously the other side will mirror
looks fine lmfao
i see no difference
fair enough
I'd go with 1 the path stubs on 2 bother me a bit
But it's also so hard to say because of the giant chat bubble always in the way :/
3 if u want more of a grand feel
@brisk heath do the top pic. There’s a huge difference
Does anyone have any pictures of AC parks/playgrounds
Anyone got any outside cafes?
the stubs?
I dunno how else to describe the little path parts that stick out on either side.
IM GONNNNNNA SCREAM i need bushes 😦
Guys I need ideas on how to fill this open space, in terms of fences, flowers, trees and flowers and whatnot
Leave it as a space for holiday items or pop up carnival or little market? @eager cedar
Holiday themed area i mean
Interesting take @north crest
Anyon got any pics of around their villagers houses? I dont know how to decorate the outside and need inspiration
does anyone have a bridge leading directly to an incline on their island? so the second tier of land basically isn’t being used?
@hot pond decorate the outside based off the villager personality? Like a jock.type villager has an outside gym in their backyard?
Hmm. Good idea actually
@exotic turret is that picnic blanket a rug or a design?
Thinking of making all of my third level a rectangle (kinda already started just need to remove around the right side river), and then the 2nd level a larger rectangle around it (already started on left side) and then keeping first level as is. I want to put museum and shops on the third level (kind of New Leaf-esque) and then my and villager houses on the second level, with inclines where necessary. Thoughts?
@swift pier it’s a design. I don’t remember exactly where I found it but you can find similar ones online just by looking up “animal crossing picnic blanket QR code”
Anyone got tips on crafting a heart shaped pond?
Have some patience and use a reference?
@exotic turret ok thanks! i’ve been looking but can’t find a design that has the fringe at the sides like that :/ i’ll keep searching
Are there any like pedastal type furniture pieces that I could put other things on?
anyone have a medieval themed island?
current progress on path to museum
@swift pier I found the blanket pattern I used. The creator ID is MA-4567-5503-7426
@eager cedar you could make a turnip farm like I did! Look :0
That is amazing
Ooo very pretty
Wow. How did you stand the shovel up?
Place it
Oh look at that
I’m thinking a secluded area like a campsite surrounded by cedar trees, which by the way, anyone have some they could spare?
Thank you! I can send you the codes if you want @eager cedar and you just place it @versed depot :>
@eager cedar how many do you need? :0
@brisk heath what are those fragments?
thank you!! @exotic turret
Just different horoscope pieces?
@dusty violet well I completely decimated my town to make room for paths and whatnot so I’m gonna need quite a few, but for now I’ll take 5-10.
Ok! Can I bring them to you? Dm me the code if you want me to just bring them to you :>
@eager cedar
they are nova lights
you can customize them to different colors
you don't need horoscope pieces for them
@dusty violet ok give me one moment!
Ok!
i just got 5 stars with weeds on the island very interesting haha
@dusty violet it’s 29W28, if anyone else wants to donate some trees and flowers that would be cool too!
Ok! My character’s name is Rayza btw just so you know it’s me! @eager cedar
Awesome @dusty violet
@brisk heath beautiful path to museum 😄
thanks! I gotta finish the other side as well, basically a mirror of this
then need to decorate the actual museum area, not sure what i want to do for it yet, but probably something space themed
You just need to get more fish and it will appear
idk vibes
does anyone have their residental area in the northern part of the map
thinking about putting waterfalls on either side of the path to the museum as well
I have two houses going in at the north side
Most I’m doing on east tho
@slim socket LOVE the use of the step stone over the waterfall
ty 😄 and a friend gave it to me but its a promotion on pocket camp
Is this possible? And what shall you do better? (Its not mine)
So I gotta play pocket camp?
You can’t have that top island as the top is always completely rock
And the bunny shape would be a nightmare to create but I don’t think it’s impossible
any idea what's the length and width of the bridge?
It has to go over a three wide river but it can do four wide as well
can a bridge go over a 5 tile river?
Not sure
The bridge itself needs four blocks of space where two will be what you walk across
Ah okay, Hmm I need to over think this xD
I wanna die I saw Raymond yesterday on an island and I passed on him because I didn’t think he looked cool. But apparently everyone likes him wtf
He goes for like 200 tickets
Museum is 6 wide?
I’m going to bed lmao rip 200 tickets
Trying to build waterfalls and I know I’ll end up making it off center lmao
why wouldn't the bunny design work? @primal ginkgo only thing i can think of that would mess it up, sorta, would be if town hall was somewhere closer to the middle but then you could make the shape around it
I didn’t say it wouldn’t work just would be difficult to do well
oh I read it wrong, I read you said 'I think it's impossible" but you said I don't think lol
Sorry my bad
Hello map friends
hai hows it going
Not bad, just chilling in my 5* town
You know, as one does when they have a 5* town
the swag is strong with this one 
😛
Honestly I'm glad I hit it finally because now my bells can go to actually paying for things like the bridge I've been waiting on, or my crippling nook debt
Raymond goes for like 1000 tickets. I’ve got a NMT buyer that has been saving up for him.
how do you buy a villager?
Glad to see someone else took up the Cove life <3
I’ve never attempted it, but some people go crazy for it. I’m not sure on the details. Apparently Raymond doesn’t have some card thing to make him appear so it makes him super valuable
is the cove part a discord group thing or did you both make maps of coves?
Lol just our town names
