u can relocate bridges?
@next cypress welp not exactly, Those items were there for construction purposes, like to say 'work in progress', tbh I have no idea what to put on the square, I would like it to be like a social area for me and my friends to chill, but I'm open to recommendations as to what to do with the area
no
u can relocate bridges?
@woven drift im not sure but i think u can
oh I see
oh ๐ฆ
gotta take the bridge out then build a new one, sadly lol
they need to update that
Hm maybe just like some chairs and benches facing each other, set out some tables with a tea set or books/magazines, make it a little sitting area
Does this look ok? Iโm worried that because the woods donโt match? It looks bad :0 also which version looks better? :0
U gotta move ur house far away then place it back in cause u cant do a rope setup on top of ur house i think
@dusty violet i would place the darker one in the middle
itโs dark so i canโt tell but will the stone path thingy look off?:/ the shades of the stones
Hm maybe just like some chairs and benches facing each other, set out some tables with a tea set or books/magazines, make it a little sitting area
@chaiinchomp#0871 I was thinking of putting this corner sofa, but is there another sofa that's complementary to it?
Made a bug report for ACNH this morning, used the opportunity to say what we were all thinking
Thank you! @woven drift and if you mean the stone at the top of the incline? It doesnโt look off to me :0
@dusty violet okay good i will just place it ๐๐ผ ty too
@strange verge yayy i hope they agree
@smoky cove I just know a web version but it works on phone too
@woven drift that works! What's it called pls?
honestly if they let me move the town hall, I don't care anymore, I will just center it but my design won't change
happy island designer @smoky cove
@woven drift tyvm! I'm going to look at that ^^
youโre welcome ๐ @smoky cove
I use it to, just linked it
I wish trees ignored half-cliff tiles
is doing something like this too symmetrical? im resetting for a new map but donโt know what to do
Hello everyone I need some creative minds Iโm trying to make a Disneyland layout anyone down to help me figure out a layout ?
woah i think that's really pretty tho @haughty grail
I like symmetrical for the most part
It really depends on your preferences, personally I'm not a fan of symmetrical islands but a lot of people like the look
There's not much elevated water on that design so catching some fish would be difficult
No ponds either
does anyone have a southern hemishpere map i can fish on?
I think those blue leaf-shaped things to the left and right of the campsite are supposed to be ponds
@slate hinge i took inspiration from disneyland, kinda made my plaza the same as the hub and made everything go out from there with straight paths
misplaced my neighbors by literally one block rip lol
Oh the campsite at the north has them actually
tbh i just really really want a town center. like a plaza. but donโt know how
Looking for suggestions for my WIP map? Like where to put museum, campsite and my house (the symmetry kinda just happened, all suggestions welcome ๐)
I really struggle to add ponds. I had just about finished my layout and realized I had no elevated water or ponds so I tore the whole thing apart and started over on the weekend
@inner fiber by any chance you think I can take a look ?
@slate hinge sure i donโt mind! gimme like 15 minutes and i can open up my gates with a dodo code?
A bridge is 6 wide? This upsets me
@inner fiber really appreciate it
Bridges are adjustable I think
I have a bridge across a 3 wide river and another across a 5 wide river
Loving my little picnic spot
Oh umm may I get your guyโs opinion on these little ping hearts Iโm working on to show to my beloved
Bridges are adjustable I think
@gentle saffron I mean the other side, the footpath side
And that picnic spot looks real pretty Emily
These fences can be different colors right? Iโve seen also a white wood?
Pretty sure a horizontal or vertical bridge is 4 wide along the river bank
Those are wooden stakes and not a fence
@hybrid nest look really cool. depends really want you want for the house. dominate everything, or try to blend in with the rest of villagers ? For campsite, I like myself either a spot near the beach (it's an island after all) or up hills (like hiking to camp there). Not sure for museum as I don't know myself ๐
@gentle saffron but they can be different colors?
@dreamy fox yep they are customizable, I think there's a dark wood one, a birch wood, and a white painted wood if I remember correctly
Thank you โค๏ธ๐ฅบ
Has anyone made any type of medieval town yet?
i bet no one has made a japanese town yes 
oh boi
Someone has @visual hamlet ๐
trying to figure a way to make big medieval walls. so far ive got jailbars next to raise ground stone walls ontop of raised ground/ raised ground + stone walls 1 block apart
ahah, tbh they give you so many resources for it
mine is a mix of Japanese / Medieval weird lol
I think it was sarcasm lol, a lot@of people@have japanese towns
looks awesome! @dreamy fox
@visual hamlet Aah thanks for the ideas! I might try building my house up on a mini mountain in front of the secret beach with waterfalls and such ๐ค
! absolutely love that one @dreamy fox
@tropic hornet id love to see!
no pressure tho B)
People on tik tok be out shinning ya ๐ฎ๐ญ but good ideas
sounds like a plan @hybrid nest , you got these 2 cliffs levels might as well use them a bit ๐
Anyone else a little tired of seeing Japanese inspired towns? ๐ I wanna see a Western town, Greek town, something new
It's not like we have a lot of variety in furniture lol
True
Anyone else a little tired of seeing Japanese inspired towns? ๐ I wanna see a Western town, Greek town, something new
@slow dagger they dont really have thing furniture like that in game
Imma make a Greek town tho, watch
Does anyone know how to make it jumpable from one cliff to the next
While being able to run/jump across on the levels below
Really hoping they add more
Currently its bamboo and cherry blossom events, so people are getting inspired
i want to make a fairytale town
@hybrid nest oh yea true!
im sure they will
for now it's quite limited, a lot of japan oriented things, might change with some updates
Wokring on a medieval town
@queen nexus ๐ do et
especially with the response this game has gotten
i wanted a redneck island at first
i like the idea of street roads but too many ppl doing it
Also do you guys think they will ever fix the hitboxes? For example foutains.... ๐ฌ
@slow dagger Im going for a rustic/farmer town lmao
Oh okay so y'all are doing things other than Japanese towns lol, dope - can't wait to see them
The fountains are round, yet they collide like a daAng square
i might try to recreate my neighborhood, going for the little french town island 
idk what i'm doing tbh i suck at this
Not just the bamboo and cherry-blossom, a large chunk of the furnitures are Japanese, including the modern appliances and public works. The vending machines are Japanese designs, even the telephone pole has Japanese posters on them
Oh word
just wish you could terraform quicker with 2-3 blocks at a time
I got so pissed when I found out that cornfield wasnt in this game
@visual hamlet ikr
Imma riot
Dang thats alota japanese ngl
I want my cornfield
I wanna be able to buy a bulldozer and break like 4 blocks at once
I tried to stay away from japanese style for the most part, going for more of a classic american style seaside town with a boardwalk and stuff
Oh fun!
let my charge my super shovel attack to take out cliffs & water quicker
looks lovely chaiin
ty 
terraforming is fun they said... water terraforming is fun they said... that took me almost 5 hours (incl. removing the river and the hills before) ... the end is near. not ๐
๐ฎ
noice
I made an area of my island bamboo grove themed but that's because the villagers that live there are Kabuki and Genji
I love it!!
that's cute
it was worthit we said
thx. i make my whole logo. making a circle is such a horror
I bet
and 8x i terraform water, 2x i transform it accidentally back to land lol
For sure
I find water so much easier to mess up than cliffs too
i do cliffs when i am done with the logo. currently my island is completly flat ^^
terraforming and outdoor decorating would be sooo much better if you could do it top-down style like how you decorate inside your house
just trying to maneuver your character in place is so hard sometimes
it would be better if the game let you terraform over trees and plants
with the option to send them to the trash bin
Thatd be great
@slate hinge dodo code is F60JB
Island Progress Report#1 #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/hdUJBsDQtU
This... took way too long for how little is done.
Anyone have a good looking market place? With the nook shop and the able sisters shop. Iโm looking for inspo, preferably not Japanese themed... Iโve seen too many.
It looks nice but can't really see much in the clip
You can't see much because that's all there is. xD
I tore down all of what I previously had and started from scratch. It was originally a Japanese themed island.
Starting from scratch feels so difficult in this game
Hitting a wall while building feels shit
Ohyeh, especially when you've placed all your houses and stuff in awkward places. ;;
Yeah, and I have that same map type, it's hard to work with tbh
So I hit this wall for bridge placement, I am sad
You could always do hopping rocks.
I did not realise they were 4 wide
Honestly, I think I bridge down the middle would look good
you could also spread it out just a tiny bit more, I'm pretty sure a space of 3 tiles between bridges is fine. I know for sure it works for inclines so I think for bridges too
That's the thing, @wind wind It can't go down the middle, it'd be off center. The museum is 7 wide and the bridge is 4 wide.
yeah that's why you see so many people doing dual bridges/inclines for their museums
Any ideas to make a big medieval wall?
I might just do a diagonal bridge somewhere
Sadly there is nothing really medieval looking.
what are the bridge and incline limits?
I didn't really want to waste two bridges on the museum
8 is the limit
Darn
8 in total or each?
each
8 each.
Yeah I guess you could do like, two tiers of cliffs and put the iron/stone fences along the ledges, to make it look like a wall
I dont get how to make diagonal bridges
ah nice, thanks
It's a bit finnicky to do diagonal bridges.
Basically you need a straight diagonal line on either side is what I find.
Yeah
That's also a good point.
That is true
Those bridges are why I plan on restarting my whole island
I'm going (to attempt) a Demacian aesthetic for my town, does anyone know of any marble like custom paths that people have created?
@shy mango You could do a line of second tier ground with the stone and iron fencing along the top
Incline limit is 8 right? what about bridge limit?
8 each, nvm scrolled up
I know how to read, totally, yep yep
Thanks middle tone! Ive tried second tier with iron bars and some stone walls but ill try that
Are inclines 4 wide too?
2x4
Can you make Happy Island Designer to default as your island's layout?
Never used it
๐๐๐๐
Discord outages every 5 minutes for anyone else?
just on my phone but on pc its fine
At work so I only have my phone
yeah it might cut out on your phone cause it can only handle so much "capacity"
Same thing happening to me^
best friends can't help you terraform right?
Right
I don't think so?
They can help by using a shovel to indicate things though. But they can't drop patterns
Oh nvm then I just haven't tried
I helped a friend with her river by using the shovel to kind of show her how to do the riverbend
Can you use the Island Designer app with people visiting though?
Is this design even salvageable?
What's wrong with it?
Wow, that actually sent. This server is broken on Mobile
Feels like thereโs not much I can do anymore,
Can someone please please help me design my island, I want to make a small neighborhood for all the houses. Feel free to DM me to visit
And I was constantly running into issues with the diagonal bridges
Also, thereโs no space near the houses, and such
Diagonal bridges are awful since you can't even place paths diagonally
What do you guys think of my island? I hate that the airport isn't lined up with the town hall, would rather it be way off to the left/right. I might put the museum or my home up top along with the campsite, any ideas to deal with airport that is like 5 blocks from lining up with the town hall? Will post pictures of my entrance in a moment.
@wind wind I have a similar island, clapped islands mann ):
With that layout if you wanted to start over your houses are all in one place so just start at the north and work down
I've never seen resident services so far north wow
nook doesn't want to move
I really wanted to put houses behind resident services
Hmm. What if I got rid of the river on the left and used the left side of the map for housing? (As an alternate solution to starting over)
but I can't, contemplating going to a new town
Hereโs my map so far!
@hexed goblet that resident services looks perfectly aligned with the entrance to the airport
yeah I messed up two of my neighbor placements
1 or 2 off, but that's fine because if you walk straight north on a Friday the chairs from KK aren't gonna be blocking uou
they're one square off
hey guys whats the difference between a pond and a river, topographically speaking
is it size or length or something?
If your town hall is a little off just don't make your path straight from airport to plaza. Make a little winding path through some trees or gardens or something
Ok never mind I zoomed in yea it's a little off
river connects to one of the oceans
Ponds have still water. No waterfall connected and they aren't long and thin
So if you try to make a moat it will turn into a river even if it doesn't connect to anything
this is the right side of my town https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/505166085067112462/696988603988836432/town.mp4
nvm im dumb dont listen to me
@woven drift pond is an enclosed space of water, rivers are streams of water that connect to ponds/lakes/oceans
Ponds can't connect to waterfalls or the ocean and probably have a maximum amount of tiles allowed
ooo there it goes
Btw, do you guys use the happy island designer website for planning?
anyone know what dimension ponds become rivers at?
did my msg send
did anyone else have a storm of cherry blossom today or just me ?
thoughts on my new tree farm?
nope
yeah i have a 4 x 8 "pond" that is spawning river fish ๐ฆ
@ashen cradle your trees wont grow
Feels like thereโs nothing surrounding it
doesnt connect to river, waterfall, or ocean but still spawns river fish
when they're growing they need two spaces apart
yep
all sides but you can plant grown trees
idk where this question would belong to but I think this channel is appropriate as it links to my town theme of asia
Which villagers have asian house exteriors?
i thought it just was since i went online at 8 for the first time but nope, still going on
I know Gladys has it as I've got her in my town
gotcha
well once i fix that... is there anything else i should add to make it look better?
kabuki for sure j4zzyy
Opinions? Not finished
Iirc snake has it too right?
Croque does
here's snake exterior in NH
pekoe has an asian exterior
tempted to make river above town hall go up slightly so I can place some houses there
bad edit but kinda like this
Croque has a very similar house to Snake but has a wood door with metal accents and a black terracotta/shingle roof
can be a good idea blueberry, makes a nice set of villagers close to each other on the left
Is there any way to plan out islands before building them?
Ah, thanks
omg that's super cute
I'm definitely having her then
thank you
what about Zucker?
Shoot. I have to place everything in the exact correct spot on that website
@visual hamlet Is there a way for the app to have your default island layout?
the dev wanted to add it, i don't know when it will tho
click the menu thing there's an option to uplaod a screenshot that might work?
Well, that'll be a massive pain to work out, but I'll try it
@vital knot heres a google doc with almost all of the exteriors if you haven't seen this yet! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QYW4E1M-XxhbtFgE27qGR1stlyeC3bEP
oh thank you
Actually, it's not worth it. I can't afford to have the river outlet be even a single space too far to the left
Does anyone know if fish will spawn in two tile rivers? I want small canals but I still want river fish ;-;
Hm. Does it do it automatically, or send the map to the dev for him/her to add to the site @stuck crescent ?
Oh wait, nvm, I see
i have no idea, it doesnt take much effort to try yourself
K, I'll tell you guys what happens
that screenshot thing is actually useful damn
yeah i had already mapped out my map manually before i saw that, woops
i think it just got added lol don't remember seeing it 2 days ago
it's definitely new, i just refreshed my page which has been open for a couple days and it showed up in the menu
Oh yea, that is pretty cool
Still hard to work with, though
I'm not looking forwards to when I finish this and it doesn't work because of one tile
is this alright so far..?
@tropic hornet tysm๐ฅบ
keep it up!
Hello! I need one volunteer to come check out my island adventure. The story is called "The Gravekeeper's Wife" Any takers? The story takes roughly 10-15 minutes.
Sure, dodo?
I will message you! Thank you ๐
Hey guys how do I get my river to look more round... Like so I can have circles or a more rounded shape... Because mine look so straight.. Any tips? ๐
A place to commemorate my Childhood best friend and big brother who has gone in 2008 with only the age of 19.
that made me teary eyed
Picnic ๐งบ
Dude I'm, like, very self conscious of my characters facial features....it seems like everyone has them XD
Lol
Man I put my shops up on a cliff behind the square and now I'm not sure I like it... I'll have to take pics and get some advice later
It's hard to plan cliffs in the foregrounds
Is there a plot layout designer website or something for the default islands?
Pinned lets you upload your current layout now I think
https://twitter.com/akarenoid/status/1247593009379594246
@sour pebble nice concept ! Where can i find that stone pattern? ๐
Island Progress Report#1 #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/hdUJBsDQtU
@gleaming echo Thank you! Give me a sec and I'll see if I can find it.
Use this creator code for them: 2978-2076-9296
I'm honestly considering replacing them with something else, because I think it may get tiring having them around the whole town. Dunno though.
@sour pebble thanks alot ๐
okay so as i said earlier iโm trying to reset my island. whatโs the best river/resident services placement
No worries. ^^
in:#island-designs has:images
If anyone wants to join my island we offer 5 free fruit for your first entry. Come join check out shops or gamble at the casino, or even get some inspiration. Plz DM me for dodo code, or Casino Rules!
I know this is not necessarily map based but does anyone have custom designs that they use for their stands? Want to set up a little โmarketplaceโ area but donโt know what design to do on the stand.
Hey guys how do I get my river to look more round... Like so I can have circles or a more rounded shape... Because mine look so straight.. Any tips? blush
Not sure if this belongs here or home designs, but finally got an open sign for everything
^^^^ Do that and if it doesnโt work perfect thatโs when you start testing by removing more and slowly rounding it out
What r u guys gonna do after u finish everything cuz my town is done and 5 stars and Iโm not sure what to do in the game now
I'm nowhere near that point, but getting every fish and bug is up there
aside from that, there's not really anything
Instead of just randomly visiting peopleโs islands lol
I think I need cushions
I think the tower should be where the Katana is
Ya it should be the centerpiece
beautiful
awesome as always celesica
thnks for the links but not what i'm looking for. i want a planner for the default maps. i don't plan on terraforming my island at all. i like the layout it has, but now i want to plan my town on it. is there one with the default map?
there is no default map
ok one of the four you pick when you start the game. not one that is custom design yourself layout.
Even still, many aspects of the island, i.e. rock structures, river mouths, etc. Are variable
awesome as always celesica
@visual hamlet thank you! โค๏ธ
ok one of the four you pick when you start the game. not one that is custom design yourself layout.
@faint meteor there are many default maps, you can Google them I think, you were only given four out of the many possible starter maps.
got red zillas, spring is officially perfect for me 
Man, I've been watching island showcases, and there's none that have two river outlets at the bottom of the island
I really messed up with that pick
I also picked the two bottom river map, and it's not ideal
I really like the enclosed housing area
Yea, my design ideas contrast the two bottom river maps very, very significantly
my resident services placement is sooo annoying
want to do a sort of secluded area for the village
Same @wind wind I was so focused on getting peaches that I didnโt even think about my river set up
Looks like a lot of us are stuck in that boat then, hah.
how far do villagers wander? i'd like them to explore the whole island but also i'd like their houses to be near ish to each other
thanks, but i guess there isn't what i'm looking for in existance. thanks for your help guys.
Small area as of now, I'ma add flowers and some other stuff. Any reccomendations?
Maybe put some paths under that fountain
OKie
jot, if you see the draft i posted above, i had a villager near the museum up near the right river today
so i think they can travel far
the source of right river *
im really struggling with my villager layout. i know I want most of my island flooded, with lots of waterfalls. i have the village houses set up but I'm so lost where to put my shops
Working on terraforming. Here is a little cafรจ behind the plaza
I've been pathing and landscaping my town like crazy today. Still don't know what kind of museum entrance i want 
i love the river โค๏ธ intersection!
Make my Island beautiful with your amazing designs lol, send me the QR code and ill put it in place of one of these paintings.
The thing about island design that eats at me,
there are so, so many possibilities. At times, it's hard to know what I want
I don't even know what I want either
same! i've changed my layout so many times now
i've made mountains and completely leveled them due to changing my mind so much
Do you ever just mess up your island so every time you log in and realize you canโt fix it you cry lmao
I dont even know what to do at this point rip
work on one thing at a time, if you have something in mind for a small part of your island work the hell out of it and worry about the rest of your island after, everything can be changed so there's no need to stress over every minute detail
I can't choose between having my villagers in the same area or spread out
That's true, ItsDaddyNick. It's so hard when you're doing a complete redesign though
But I suppose that logic still works
I really wish the houses were 6 squares instead of 5
Or bridges be 3
I wish that diagonal bridges worked properly
Personally i'm on team #villagerdistancing. but i've seen so many cute residential area on here ! >.<
I donโt mind the bridges being 2 but the whole uneven thing is really messing up my life
I put my villagers in sets of 2
Sets of 2 sounds nice
Does anybody have some nice orchards to show off?
I've had a lot of luck with it! Especially because I could give them backyards/front yards without it looking really clunky and clustered
im doing a complet overhaul and its a mess and so slow and depressing to work on it.. nintendo just hates convenience
Looking at the flaws in my current map, I really like having a residential area, and then having houses sort off in the distance
how much space does stairs take?
That's right
ty, gives me an idea ^^
I haven't even unlocked terraforming yet and i'm already so stressed about what i'm gonna do when I get it
I think it's more like 3x2 because one space is in the hill
@shell karma im at the point where im starting to overthrow my whole island
Oh, btw, do you guys like living near your villagers, or having a ton of land to yourself?
Normal house was 4x4?
I like living near them
I prefer my own land
@kindred yarrow add some flowers to the side of paths
otherwise that looks really cool
Theyโre my babies ๐ฅฐ
staying with them
I'd love to have a land to myself on top of a mountain ! I've seen some rlly nice ones. And then have all the villagers at the foot of the mountain
Queen of social nope out here. im so not living with stuff with fleas >.>
ah so you're the hokage @shell karma
Interesting. I've been stuck on the question myself, which is why I was wondering, lol.
Agreeing with @whole shale
Bruh Iโm married to my villagers
ah so you're the hokage @shell karma
@worldly salmon Ye exactly x)
I want my villagers to live in a court rather than just side by side
Made a city for those peasents
Ooooo
i'm dead inside after spending 2 days making this https://twitter.com/marlon_marquez0/status/1247630162578952192
Looks awesome !
Looks great
Love it but I hate it that you have to take such a long way from the one part of the beach to the other
Today was mostly about destroying rivers and mountains
Never seen someone build cliffs around the town hall like that before
Man, NH completely has me stumped. It's been a long time since a game has done that to me
Heres my island even though nobody asked
I wish i'd unlock terraforming cuz making smth aesthetic without it is hard... The only thing I have is a naturally heart-shaped pond
gosh bringing that cliff all the way to the airport must have felt soul emptying o.o
creating the entire cliff took like 4 hours 
rip
@uneven bison thanks alot for the post! Alot of people are happy to get some ideas from different people ๐
Thanks. It took me weeks to make it this far
Would love to have a visit ๐
i really like your river shape :3
Yup ! I've been browsing this channel for hours recently, i'm gathering ideas until i unlock terraforming
Same, except I still have no ideas
I think it helps to write down everything that you like
Anyone got a town they want to give a tour of?
For example, I like having a house up in the hills on the top right side of the map, that can cascade down into an orchard/flower farm and down into a small village
Wow Sunlight same ! I love living on top of mountains
The problem is I want everything
mmh, is there maybe a theme you'd like to go for ? (zen, foresty, full coconut island, jurassik park ...)
A village, an orchard, a hybrid breeding garden, paths, a city
And idk if it's possible to have everything cuz when I wander around my island seems small
I found that zen best fits my house, and a foresty zone surrounding the orchard and shop is really nice
But maybe because it has a lot of water, gotta remove some of it
@grim fossil could you show me how you did those waterfalls at the beginning?
someone explained to me how but i was confused
Yea, water stands in the way of a lot of things. That's why I'm doing it last
I love the fact that you can create a beac with palms outside of the ocean more towards to the center of the map
also uhh
could someone send pics of their villager houses for inspiration?
okies. gimme 5 mins ._.
It's so hard to figure out where to put shops
because those are where you'll be going frequently
@acoustic night https://twitter.com/marlon_marquez0/status/1247635632521797632
you need at least one block around to make a waterfall
Kabuki lives in my bamboo grove
than k you so much!! @grim fossil
I haven't come across a deer scare but I'd like to get one for the left side between the pond and the tree
Nice house
Nothing wrong with that
Pollen season must be horrendous
The wooden stakes actually look better as a fence than I thought but you probably need a ton of wood compared to what fences cost
And a lot more inventory space
I believe it's 3 wood per tile ye
bunny river is planned out now i gotta dig the water
Cute
looks cute ! :3
Which villager is your neighbor?
What do you guys say? On top will be my house
I didn't know you could put water flush against a slope
marshal is the one that lives next to me๐๐ธ
None are my neighbors, but I plan on putting Chevre somewhere near me
Unless I get Zucker
I don't want any villagers living too near to my house either
same
Surprisingly,
no matter how far away I place my villagers, they always end up in my front yard
right!!
Oh, yeah totally
it's annoying tbh
I found Chevre behind my house once, lol
The thing that bugs me more is that you can make an area that is unreachable without ladders or the vaulting pole and NPCs will end up there like wisp or CJ
I completely buried Hazel's house in a mountain once. She just occasionally appears in front of my house from time to time
Sure I guess
lmao
bunny river is planned out now i gotta dig the water
@hard frost how did you plan thatso precisely?
You can't see it very clearly but the cliffs around the back of kabuki's house are only like 4-5 tiles wide and covered in bamboo trees and I found wisp up there
just counting spaces with the dirt path tool!
can you dig out spaces that have path on it? i might have to try paths.. even tho its still all a pain
Yes you can
You can't terraform patterns but you can terraform even if there's a path, hole or weed on the destination tile
oh good. if only nintendo let us paint right on top of the map as if it's paint.net tho..
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVB-3XZVAAAvOLw?format=jpg&name=large making a cute little garden
I wish patterns on the ground would sound like the terrain below them
If you guys want to hear a fun fact, I believe you can place patterns on top of paths if they have at least one transparent pixel
Yeah you can
@hard frost looks cute! i'm doing a similar idea but not a bunny, i'm interested to see how yours turns out as you go along your designing journey ๐
Really? I enjoy hearing the sound of stone when I'm walking over my front yard
Oh, really? Never tried that tbh
Hm. Maybe you can try placing the patterns on a path that has a sound that you like?
yea they donโt make much sound at all
to give it a more realistic feel
Doesn't work
Thats what I was saying though, I wish they adopted the sound of the terrain below them
So if I have a pattern that looks like pavement I would put the stone path under it.
I see your point. I'm surprised we can't do that
Finally. I think I may be on to a design I like
going to send it in a sec
What do you guys say? Opinion?
thats so nice!!
Really nice, maybe put some lamps on the bottom too?
Dont have anymore for now ๐
Looks like I'm entering the shogun property
@fathom sonnet Its so good, but RIP if you put the museum
@visual hamlet you mean orochis house 
My mini fruit patch next to house.
Ahah yup, Wano style
O nice
anyone have town entrance inspo? mine sucks :(
Still alot of decorations to go
Like alot but I miss the nature, personal opinion though
Gentrification smh
hmmm imma add more flowers soon
animal crossing: new city leaf horizons
Ok so, I've got my main area down
ignore the low opacity pic in the background, how do you guys like it so far?
Like it so far since its not done, youre planning on more rivers in the north?
I plan on putting those on the outside of the main area
Yea, there will be more rivers in the north that connect my house to the main village and shops
shops will probably be just above the two bridges
And if not there, I'll put them in the bottom right
I'm going to keep working on it
I wanted to get that small town without making it too square
I've been watching videos on 5* islands... Today I begin the demo to start expanding and incorporating all these cool ideas those videos sparked
who wants to visit my island
929GX
its a prison themed island
and not just that prisoner number 8 is crafting an ironwood table come for free
(ill probably wont do anything for like 30 mins then ill post it in marketplace for free where it gets really crazy)
anyone have advice on where i should move my campsite and museum
@heavy summit hahah nice
ty
took like 10-12 stacks of iron to make one for each of my villagers prisoners
those giant things are suppose to be makeshift guard towers
I love these towers
@vast crystal maybe tuck it into the cliffs on the right side?
grab a fruit if u dont have it yet if u want
those flowers are real nice
I think it'd look even better if you put dirt paths under the flowers
Sure, keep it
waterfalls are nice if u dont over do it
this shit is hard.
thank you 
On my way to prison island
i dont know if i should put the campsite near the cliffs or the museum near the cliffs ๐ฅบ
You wont regret prison island

@queen nexus personally not a fan of such straight edges. But if your going for a more urban area it works.
oh no is this disconnected
Got a disconnect ๐ฎ
Noooooo
yeah i am
ill reopen
omw to prisoner islanf

Anyone have any orchard inspo?? Iโve tried to design mine like 8 times and do not like it
this is hilarious
Anyoneโs island open to take a look around? I can open mine too! I pretty much finished terraforming and Iโm in the middle of decorating ^_^
He said you have โall the modern amenitiesโ
anybody know the size of a house?
5x4
Houses are 4x4
The players house is 5x4 villager houses are 4x4
If normally be up for visiting everyone's island but I've seen enough to demo everything I had and start over haha
anyone whos visiting my place and want the free diy its in cell number 8 circled on the map
About to do a cat gang village, just met kabuki + I have Rosie and Olivia
@heavy summit 10/10 would get jailed here
Gl with raymund 
lol thanks
lol im at your island now @heavy summit i love the welcome music ๐
thanks lol
having a bamboo farm makes it easy to craft bamboo speakers and put it everywhere
to override the pretty slow ( not 5pm) town music
Never got into the music yet ๐ฎ
too bad theyre weak speakers, the music doesnt go far ):
what just order 1 a day lol
Pleeeeease someone gimme orchard inspo
have a friend to send u one a day
I generally hyper focus on one task. So I forget to go in and buy lol
u can also request one from kk slider when he performs? i think
thats how i got bubblegum kk at least
if u buy alot of stuff from nook stop
u get a nook shop app and u dont even have to go to the town hall anymore
DUDE FR?
How much do you need to spend?
I need that ^
Let's move this topic to a general discussion channel please :)
i heard buy 50 stuff
whaat!! need that app ๐
nope it's buy 100 things from the catalog
Oh sweet deal
I got it the other day
Can we move this to another channel. This is map-showcase, in which an app from the nookphone has nothing to do with this channel. Please move to #general, #acnh-chatโฑ๏ธ or #651611409272274954. Thanks
@heavy summit glad I'm not the only one who puts DIY recipes in the basement haha
if u put it outside it counts as garbage for the star rating
Nice island tho, I definitely lack actual deco items to really theme my island.
Ya.. I really really miss my New Leaf sets.
I may use a lot of seashell for now tho.
Do you have problems finding villagers when it's that spread out? My current my layout was so tight that everyone was always around together
doing alot of marketplace trading gave me access to alot of furniture and DIY so it helps with decorating and funding my island
I villager traffick for my funds.
wish jumpsuit was craftable so i could give to every visitor lol
I need to check out the villager trafficking
Zucker is easily my favorite villager, but I've only seen him once since NH came out
I think having the right villagers goes a long way to a "perfect" island.
inmate gang
So creative omg @heavy summit
You could be a police officer, as the villagers would be the inmates @heavy summit
i do have a police cap
Custom design a police shirt
anyone wanna come to my island?
Alright, every building moved.. onto demo day!
What do u guys do now that ur islands r complete? I finished mine yesterday and I have a 5 star rating not sure what to do now
@kindred yarrow its too late to come now i posted a free visit to marketplace for a free ironwood diy ): its gonna get hectic
I was talking to Raaven LOL
Got my funding for island remake
Rich bitch
I sold a villager for 20 mil the other day. That'll fund my entire village makeover haha
Need advice. I made a waterfall entrance at the airport that goes up but now it feels like the entire map needs to be elevated but then the town hall is still at the bottom. Any tips ? ๐ญ๐ญ
Uhhh where are all the map pictures for this map showcase chat ๐ง
@pale thorn To quickly browse images in this channel:
Search in:#map-showcase has:images
I can build cool expensive bridges now yeaaaaa; see you guys tomorrow \o/
anyone wanna come to my island?
im going to host a hide and seek at my island in an hour
anyone wanna come to my island?
@fringe meteor - #690093605821480980
@solar cypress I had the same idea as you but i put the waterfalls further back and I have a path at the entrance that splits in three directions the left path leads to market place the right leads to village where the villager houses r and the north path is in between two waterfalls
@fringe meteor Use the correct channels please, I already pinged you with the appropriate channel use.
Wow I love how that entire spot looks like a bridge
@solar cypress u can make the 2 water falls into 2 small hills that shoot waterfalls
Ooo that sounds like a good idea! Thanks guys Iโve been stuck w this for awhile. Everything felt so disjointed
Hey when trying to map your island using the various tools available, what are some good landmarks to base it off of? Obviously thereโs the square but I want something else too because I keep second guessing myself.
Focus off things that never move. Airport, Town Center and River Heads for example.
can you put two inclines right next to eachother?
@rancid helm qr codes for street paths
No, 1 unit has to surround the 3rd layer
I'll give them for 3 stacks of iron
@heavy summit can i visit u
@cyan glacier
U can, but i already posted in recipe a while back, so it might get hectic , but its slowing down i think
can you put two inclines right next to eachother?
They have to be one block apart
ok thanks
Np
My symethrical plan is gone
Because I can't move the resident services now idk what to do
still looks nice , dont let it bother you
Anyone have interesting waterfall designs? I'm trying to make an area for all my flowers
i think theres a point where we all have to accept not everything in this game will be symmetrical
@hollow fiber I restarted my entire game cause I couldn't move my first resident services.. it really sucks that you can't.
anyone know why sometimes it wont let me waterscape a cliff?
i made a map of my town before i start to go wild with renovations :-)
@hollow fiber Maybe just make the path add on to the resident services? So it looks more even?
Like add an extra path or two to the left of it
asymmetrical islands are more interesting to explore since most of the time u just need to explore half the island and u kinda get the jist of what the other half is like
@primal ginkgo I am actually "extending" the resident services I'll show a picture when I'm done!!!
That looks so peaceful!
@proper lava omg I don't wanna do that ๐๐๐
I did it early on thankfully, once I quickly figured out I couldn't haha
That works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJHp21kD_sk not my work but i wanted to share this, this guy just did an amazing job holy crap
Hello! Welcome to the Wild West! This island's name is "Billersby" by "Chuff".

How does this area look?
I LOVE that last shot
are houses 4x2?
thanks thomas
Last shot is really cool, love the staggered waterfalls
Thanks
makes me want to integrate more vertical space in my island but I'm nearly out of inclines already
Will watch that video when I eat dinner, thanks
The lone tree on top of the waterfalls is chef's kiss
@next cypress I know right... I hate the 8 incline limit
Is it 8 incline and 8 bridges or 8 combined?
8 eacj
Good to know.
@cedar forge These shots are great, I really appreciate the eye for aesthetics here
@proper lava I was trying to do that but I donโt know where the river tiles are located with respect to the grid as I canโt measure the ocean
Alright, I'm off to dinner. Thank you for inspiration, I'm going to dive into the grind after and hopefully have some wonderful progress to show tomorrow!
Mine doesnt really have an entrance its just
.
Ohh! SO pretty!
I wanna make a little bait shack on my beach but I can't think of any ideas
on where to put it
Like it just... Starts
I see roland .. haha so cute, but yea nice pic @cedar forge , very cool setup
So I just started pathing today, how does it look so far (this is only part of my island, some of it isnโt pathed because Iโm demolishing a bridge and replacing it with a prettier one)
This isnโt looking as good as I thought
Itโs so big
Help
Idk if this is the channel for that
Also I donโt know anything about villagers
@worthy nimbus - #custom-design-help๐จ or #path-codes thanks
what do you guys use to lighten up your islands at night?
some people say floor lights, but I havent seen them actually work
My campsite ๐
they light upward towards the sky which doesnt help
@signal frigate yeah true, those didnโt work so well for me
I havent found anything else tbh ;/
I considered usuing the spot lights (life from Harv's isalnd) and try to line them up with a tree so they arent obvious. But I haven't actually tried it yet
I use these but it doesnt light up much :/
@stiff scroll actually let me see if I can try one of those
@humble rain thats really pretty! iโll have to to order more of those smaller garden lights
XD bruh
uhh i think my graveyard is haunted
He's a friendly ghost.
I have that recipe for the western stone & I didn't think to make a grave yard
Im gonna make a memorial for my old hamster
๐
Dno where yet tho. Got a golden casket i can craft rofl
Hey I have some plans for my Island, I'm just not someone who can add nuance to design to make it feel like space is utilized -- does anyone want to come and flush out the layout to my island with me?
I'm gonna be doing a concept based on antii suburban ideals. More in tune with nature and with more space for villager homes... will people think my island is ugly/gross?
if u like it, who cares?
thats true. c:
my island entrance is going to be like that @grem
i'm even moving my campsite there
My island entrance is just a gate to keep people from running on my flowers
The only time that your villagers will comment on your town is on the furniture placed.
Like, "This soccer ball is fun to play with!" or "I love this bench, it lets me relax my legs" or "Why did you put a regal bed outside?"
suburbia is the concept of neat rows of houses in cul de sacs with little yards. I'm letting them have maybe some fences but other than that it's very full of trees
made a cute mini cafe. if anyone has suggestions hit me!
Finally got 5 stars on my island!
updated the corner to make it softer leading into the waterfall
and a plant to cover the ugly bit
amazing
Someone needs to make their map into loss
Does anyone happen to know the size in grid spaces (Width x Length) each structure is? I am trying to plan out a new island layout and I can't find any of said info. Any help is much appreciated.
hmmm, should I leave the flowers on the left or put a waterfall there instead
every building is 4 blocks vertical + 1 block in front where u can only place pathing
villager houses are 4 blocks wide
museum and nooks cranny are 7 blocks wide
player houses and clothing store are 5 blocks wide
i hope they add brewster at some point
every building is 4 blocks vertical + 1 block in front where u can only place pathing
villager houses are 4 blocks wide
museum and nooks cranny are 7 blocks wide
player houses and clothing store are 5 blocks wide
@young kelp Thank you very much. Just so I have this right, vertically, I should factor 5 blocks "vertically" for each building.
yup!
@median nebula i recommend a lattice wall instead of stone
Awesome, thank you!
thanks! ill do that when i get the lattice recipe
@young kelp I forgot to ask but, how about the Campsite?
same as player and mabels!
I have an odd request - does anyone have a picture of the outside of Daisy/Roald's house? Please! (Was sent here from two channels lol, please help!)
a lake i'm making! working on it day by day ๐
Thatโs so cute I love it
Do most of you build on all 3 levels of the floor? or do u stick with one level?
Also are most of your houses secluded away or do u prefer having them together with the villagers? Right now Im not sure where I should put my main house of if I should just leave it with the villagers
Thanks again
hey does anyone know where to get the little images of villagers when they are in the map ๐
itโs on your nook phone when you click on the map
Any tips on how to do the paths here?
Current map set up I'm working on ๐ญ the stores are gonna be in the lower right and my estate is going to be in the top right waterfall square. Need ideas for the upper right side in general
You could make it a forest, add both type of trees, varied flowers and weeds
With a path through it
For town ratings, do dropped items on stalls + tables count as "trash"? Do tree branches also count as "trash"??
My upper left area is gonna be a big orchard, but yeah a forest would be cute!!
Anyone know stairs/incline grids?
anyone able to help with the overall layout of my island? I attached an image talking abt where Iโm at rn
added a little border to the ground. remove or keep?
keep, itโs adorable
tyty
It looked okay when I was making it but I hate it hhe more I look at it
island entrance
@rich bobcat that looks beautiful ๐ญ
Thats basically what I wanted my own waterfall entrance to look like but better
@thorn herald Did we have the same island layout?
@green root I don't know, I don't think I've seen your island?? I've been doing everything on my map by my own wild thoughts so far haha
ye ill send a pic ina sec
what should I put here ?? I have no idea what to put please help ๐
put some wood furniture
thank u !
made a tiny cafe type area with a couple tables and chairs, and maybe an outfood coffee machine/drinks machine + snack machine
You can put the wooden swing
Does this go good with the terra-cotta pathing or no?
Maybe just make it dirt but that looks pretty good by itself
Ok Iโll probably also add fencing
Elisha you can also put a big water fountain or the natural pond thing
Yeah fencing would help, if you're keeping that tile then maybe try the cobblestone fencing?
K
Whirlpool or long bath
@woven drift
4x4 for villager house
5x4 for your own house and ables
7x4 for nooks cranny and museum
thank you so muchhhhhhh
np i spent time planning things out for my island
Can I hire someone to create me a beautiful island lol
i'm glad i'm not the only one struggling
today i destroyed half my town for a new look
NEVER SATISFIED
Literally same
i had all of my villagers lined up in a row but now i'm moving their houses
the only thing i'm satisfied with is my museum :/
@smoky nacelle if you do dirt path you can also do it under the trees. Just have to dig up and replant
Anyone have any ideas of what I can put in the empty spaces?
Parks, sitting areas, ponds
So I made 7 alt characters to farm for recipes cause Iโm an idiot. But I kinda want to place all their tents and make their houses too. Is that too much? Iโm thinking like a tier system with villagers on the bottom, the alts on the second level and me on the top cause you know Iโm me. Any ideas or think thatโs too much?
do you have any pics for inspiration?
@somber elm that sounds like a lot of work lmao
plz dm me need alot of help!
what do you need help with tho
ill take the pic again
@silver sorrel hahah I know. I didnโt realize how the alts worked until I sat through KKs concert 8 times ๐
But itโs actually been pretty good for farming recipes from MiBs and the bunny bottles
Hahaha honestly what I was thinking was to maximize the first floor for each and make them all themed
Like a restaurant or movie theatre etc
Right? Thatโs what I was thinking. Itโs nice cause right now I have all the alts but havenโt placed a single tent until I know what Iโm doing
if you're thinking about doing that though, probably shouldn't have them all with the other houses
make locations out of them
Museum is finally done!
have ur alts live in hobocity
Need help with alot dm me please if you are willing to help
Yeah thatโs a great idea
Yโall have such cool designs and here I am still trying to move my villagers around
mood
@quick fable thatโs dope af
That little arrow with the owl on it is perfect
I love the long neck behind it thatโs really cool
I love that piece, I wish I had the diy for it so I could place them around town to lead to museum
@quick fable i like you tucking the waterfalls back a bit and making the lights and stuff pop out more, typically i see the waterfalls overpowering the view
anybody know the size of a villager house?
4 wide 3 deep
Can anyone send me the requirements for a 5 star town
Lol I managed to get all 6 of my rocks in close proximity
Yeah @timid kernel I see a lot of builds like that, I kinda didnt have a plan just everything came together
Oh snap joe exotic is that you
Didnโt know you could get switch in prison
Or at least that kind of switch
anyone got any pics of an outside cafe type area?
@candid lantern I love it
can anyone help me decorate outdoor spaces??
bruh omg @candid lantern that's sick
Current project. Able will be moved on lower level, and I'll have 4 inclines in a few days
bruh can i see your front entrance
anyone got any pics of an outside cafe type area?
Mine? @queen nexus
yes
Anyone available to come give me island input?
You mean airport entrance or resident services?
both
@candid lantern thanks do you have a qu code for the ground pattern?
thanks
@queen nexus First 2 are resident services. Still need to decorate the top and put some filler in on cliffs. Last pic is entrance but it's gonna change because I was really more experimemting.
Also you can see the full dino above resident when you fly into town its amazing
you like your waterfalls...
i have no idea what to do with my service area / airport lol
it ain't much but it's honest work
That looks cool
I made the stall design myself
Whatโs some good Japanese items for a Japan type island (mines is kinda a mix of modern and old)
Cool
Yeah still getting the hang of everything and still experimenting
Does Anybody have ideas for a village theme?
oh i know, a japanese zen!
