next mural
#

Yayyy 🙂

rugged rain
#

Let me know the code 🙂

next mural
#

Codes sent! If anyone else wants to come help with ideas let me know!!

#

The left area is kind of an orchard rn, but I don’t wanna keep it that way

elfin python
#

if you have a small space between town hall and the airport, what would you put there?

sonic lily
#

a path

pearl tide
#

Guys I need help! I tiered all of my town center, and villagers houses, so everything is close together and now I have huge empty spaces and idk what to do with it. Any ideas? I want to do a garden maybe, but the space is enormous. If someone could come look and make suggestions I’d appreciate it 🙂

hidden sable
#

What can I do to make this a proper moon shrine? (Town name is moon river). My best idea so far is just to put a bunch of blue/purple and white flowers everywhere but thats basically my solution for every part of my town so maybe there's something better I can do here lmao

pearl tide
#

Maybe get the moon that comes from the celestial recipes and put it in the center!

hidden sable
#

The moon is there - maybe hard to see but the big white ball is the moon haha

pearl tide
#

Omg woah I was not seeing that right at all I need my glasses on geez

hidden sable
#

np🤣
But I do want to go for a natural/ancient shrine vibe

pearl tide
#

Do you have the nova lights? You could but those around it

hidden sable
#

Hmm idk if I have those

pearl tide
#

I have the recipe if you have frags!

next cypress
#

Some candles maybe would give it more of a "shrine" vibe?

#

You could also set up like a telescope and stuff nearby for a little moon-viewing station

hidden sable
#

The nova lights are pretty funky would they take the attention away from the moon?

pearl tide
#

That’d be cute!

hidden sable
#

Oh I might move my telescope that would be cute

pearl tide
#

Hmm maybe, ig I’ve always seen them together in celestial themed rooms so it makes sense. Out of context you’re probably right it’d be a lil funky

woven drift
#

can someone help me with coming up with a layout?

hidden sable
#

Hmm maybe some moon stepping stones or something would be cool. Are there any pillars in this game?

woven drift
#

I really need some inspo

#

and new ideas

next cypress
#

put in:#map-showcase has:images in the search bar and you can browse stuff people posted here for ideas

pearl tide
#

There were in new leaf I assume they kept it.

quartz flame
#

Damn I wish there was a better way to edit islands, one step a time is so damn painful, but they say rome wasnt built in a day 😔

woven drift
#

ahw thank you!

pearl tide
#

You can come check out my town @woven drift

woven drift
#

I will do that

pearl tide
#

Idk If it’ll help though I’m still not done either

woven drift
#

ooh could u send me a pic of ur map?

#

thats what im stuck on

#

like a layout

hidden sable
#

Kdash is your town the "cute/organized" style or the "unordered/natural" style

woven drift
#

I have a vision in my head but cant get it on paper

hidden sable
#

I love all the organized towns they are super satisfying but my town is the natural style so I'm looking for inspiration as well

calm narwhal
#

In need of peoples opinion on my town center. Would anyone like to come over and check it out?

woven drift
#

@hidden sable I came up with an idea of having a “organized/cute” part on my island where the plaza and stores are and maybe a park en then having a natural style around but its hard

#

to come up with a good lay out for it

#

i cant get satisfied

#

does anyone have a an island i can come to that’s pretty? i need some ideas for filling in empty spaces

#

with what I come up with

next cypress
hidden sable
#

@woven drift my town is somewhat similar where all the villagers are in a Cliffside village but the front part of my town had to be organized cause there are over 50 flowers in this game and I wanted to display 5 of each type in rainbow order lmao

slow dagger
#

@next cypress open up lol

#

It looks dooe

pallid pilot
#

@next cypress did u do all that legit?

woven drift
#

@hidden sable oh omg do u have a pic or ur map?

next cypress
#

I did all that ye lol

#

sec I'll open up

pallid pilot
#

wow

slow dagger
#

Why the Lord can't we get a different island layout lmao

#

Freak, I wanna change it so bad

naive plank
#

@slow dagger Unlock terraforming and spend lots of time changing it

slow dagger
#

I have a fully terraformed and decked out island lmao

pearl tide
#

You can come check out my town @woven drift @calm narwhal it’s half unfinished but the finished half is pretty

slow dagger
#

I just don't like it

naive plank
#

ooh

next cypress
#

Ok come over if ya like, 144R1 is the code. It's raining and I'm not in april so no eggs, good for fishing if you want

slow dagger
#

Have a west and south river mouths

#

I want double south River moths

pearl tide
#

@next cypress yessss

slow dagger
#

@next cypress we have the exact same island in terms of resident hall and river mouths

knotty pendant
#

Holy crap it looks so nice

hidden sable
#

@woven drift so the squares lining the path are mostly all flower beds hahah. Nooks in it the process of moving and I still have to move 2 villager houses, demo two bridges, build 2 inclines, and build 2-3 bridges

#

I have pathing almost everywhere but its custom so doesn't show

quasi relic
next cypress
#

there's a trick to custom pathing, if you put a non-custom path underneath it, it will show on the map and also will have the sound of the path underneath when you walk on it

slow dagger
#

Karamja

woven drift
#

looks really cooool

slow dagger
#

My island is named Paradise. Generic but I like it

naive plank
#

omg why is it so satisfying to terraform I just unlocked it and it's like I want to remove every mountain just because

woven drift
#

i’m thinking of removing the lil one just above the museum, so i can make a big lake with stepping stones or something.

hidden sable
#

@next cypress which would work if the custom path wasn't worn/transparent in places :(

#

I could put dirt underneath but doesn't look as good as grass

next cypress
#

ahh, bummer yeah in that case doesn't really work

naive plank
#

it's so hards making a plan for my island because I keep changing it,, and then when I decide and start making it its just to simple and doesnt look good cry

@ocean widget basketball and soccer... you wouldn't have a hockey rink, would you?

#

@ocean widget basketball and soccer... you wouldn't have a hockey rink, would you?
@cerulean belfry lol nope, why you looking for one?

cerulean belfry
#

yeah

#

but i dont see it as being excactly a popular choice on an exotic islan

limpid aspen
#

does anyone know the dimensions of the house planning kits?

cerulean belfry
#

i dont want to make the custom prints myself for one cause all of mine turn out bad

ocean widget
#

Well you can try requesting the prints be made in the qr-requests channel!

haughty grail
#

what’s the best map to work with? like service tent and river placement??

next cypress
#

really depends what you wanna do with it

#

personally I like asymmetrical islands so I picked one with one side and one bottom river, and an off-center plaza

late trail
#

I want double south River moths
@slow dagger
Don't, I have it and trust me, its bad!

slow dagger
#

@late trail really?

#

I like them a lot for symmetry

late trail
#

It gives way to little space in the borders

#

It makes it difficult to make what you want

#

And the island feels tiny

slow dagger
#

Hmm

#

Didn't know :/

woven drift
#

Lack of symmetry is killing me

glossy elbow
#

@woven drift hi please don't self-promote in the server. posting that video itself is fine but not your tweets!

woven drift
#

I know

burnt minnow
#

@woven drift have you thought about adding waterfalls to the front to flow into those ponds?

warped lotus
#

any advice on what to do with the paw pond area, I feel like it’s a massive waste of space :/

woven drift
#

Yep, im still working in the desing

#

but there is a river behind the pond

primal ginkgo
#

Would it be better to remove the highlighted red river? I feel like my map doesn’t have enough room for little decorations everywhere lol I wanna keep the villagers spread out though so I have room to give them all little yards

burnt minnow
#

@warped lotus not really advice but i just wanted to say your map is cute af

warped lotus
#

thank you!! spent rly long on it, esp terraforming

stuck parcel
#

nice one @ocean widget that's exactly what I am trying to do lol

ocean widget

#

whata is teh dimenion of the pitch u made?

ocean widget
#

My fields are 5 by 8s

stuck parcel
#

oh nice

#

i want to try to add some treees inbetween teh two pitches though

#

make it seems more exclusive, rather than just 2 open place

ocean widget
#

Sounds cool

#

I might move mine at some point, this was just a nice spot for them atm

stuck parcel
#

i want to put campsite next to those pitches

#

make it seems like it is summer camp xD

ocean widget
#

That's a cool idea!

stuck parcel
#

thanks!

zealous geyser
#

Can anyone help with with my map? I wanna open up the yellow square part so theres some space next to the beach where to can do something with, I'm just not sure what to do with the river.

warped lotus
#

you can make it go zig zag like mine

zealous geyser
#

oh i see what you mean, like move the river more to the right 😮

warped lotus
bright raptor
#

Can you use teraforming in other islands??

warped lotus
#

nope, only on your own

bright raptor
#

That's a cool idea jony

zealous geyser
#

okay thanks! ill see if i can make something similar to that 😄

bright raptor
#

That it you could elbow the river to the right to get even not room but that'll look less natural probably

ivory condor
#

I need some inspiration. I have like a pretty normal looking town. No real theme. Just need ideas for things to put in it. I have a park, and an outdoor classroom. I'm thinking of adding a cafe and public pool and a boardwalk for my beach. Need more ideas though.

next cypress
#

I have all three of those things lol, cafe public pool and boardwalk. my island is open atm if you wanna check it out 144R1

calm narwhal
#

Need opinions in my island. Anyone willing to come take a look?

junior pecan
#

What can I add in a Japanese island ?

stuck parcel
#

sushi place

amber herald
#

What are the measurements for able and nook?

woven drift
#

Measurements ???

versed depot
#

Able is 7x3, nook is 7x4. Front row for each will initially be blocked, but you can pave after they're built.

amber herald
#

Thanks!

woven drift
#

How do y’all know this lol

versed depot
#

Because I've had to measure them multiple times to line my shit up lol

Does anyone have a cool marketplace? I don't know what to do with mine.

ivory condor
#

Can we see what u have so far?

primal ginkgo
#

I’m doing a fountain in the middle of mine with benches around and stalls

ivory condor
#

Re benches recipes or can I get from someone?

sage jasper
#

Can we see what u have so far?
@ivory condor I was thinking of making the marketplace somewhere to the left of the town hall but it's a lot of empty space.

hybrid cedar
#

Looking for ideas for residential? Kind of want to residents to be close together and maybe tiered?

woven drift
ivory condor
#

I think it's best to visit other towns for inspiration. Chaiinchomps place is nice.

grave aspen
#

What are some cool/simple fossils to put on display outside the museum?

#

I just got a batch assessed and found out that Amber glows at night so I put one on either side of the entrance but would like to keep an eye out for others that I could use

#

Hey is there an island who JUST got a 5 star rating? I would like to look at it (pics are fine lol) to see how close I am to a 5 star rating lmao

quartz flame
#

guys is a very symmetrical island ugly? or does it need more natural stuff

next cypress
#

whatever you prefer, as long as you like it, then it's all good

#

I like asymmetry personally but lots of people like the fully symmetrical look

primal violet
#

Do stage one flowers count as flowers for the ⭐️ rating?

ivory condor
#

@next cypress how did u get different colored vending machines and lamp posts?

next cypress
#

There are different variants of them but each person only gets one of them available through their nook miles shop, those are just the ones I have

#

you have to trade with others to get the diff colors

mystic mauve
#

I got black I got white what you want ?

quartz flame
#

any advice on what should I add on the sides? idk what to do with the sides

#

sides as in 1 and 7, it's hard to think about it

#

I already planned out the middle

woven drift

#

dude okay can you move the plaza and your two main rivers because i absolutely hate where everything on my island is.. if there is anyway.. how?!

next cypress
#

no, plaza/airport/river mouths are not movable

uncut field
#

dang :(

teal condor
#

@woven drift Very Nice!

limpid quest
#

Im wanting to put my villagers back around where I am should I level the third layer or continue expanding it to fit

glossy raven
#

@quartz flame you should make a beach side cafe with the sides

#

Just a suggestion

sour pebble
limpid quest
#

I'm moving them back to give them yards/open up my front area so the back isn't as empty

sweet oak
#

i'm not very creative, could someone kind of help me design my island? I'm not sure where to put houses really

dreamy compass
#

@sour pebble I like it!

sour pebble
#

@dreamy compass I'm torn on whether I should make the enclosed waterfall area just a bit bigger.

quartz flame
#

@glossy raven aye beach designing is what i'm bad at, I'll have to find some inspirations but i'll take your advice and make some shell/coral furnitures as much as possible and make something nice to look at GWchinaAqua7 , it's just sad i can't edit beaches

sage jasper
#

Does anyone have tips for spacing everything out on a map?

limpid quest
ivory condor
#

Omg does anyone have the jungle gym with the pink seat and the zebra and pink horses to trade!?

ivory salmon

Theres a path qr channel

sage jasper

#

Thats so cool!!!

sage jasper
#

Thanks!

lime mesa
#

@sour pebble where did you get the stepping stone designs?

rancid shale
#

My forest neighborhood area. Should I do the dark dirt path or stone? Or does anyone have QR design recommendations?

primal ginkgo
#

Any of you have some cute garden designs for inspo? And for hybrid breeding?

wintry veldt
#

My forest neighborhood area. Should I do the dark dirt path or stone? Or does anyone have QR design recommendations?
@rancid shale I would say dark dirt path

median ember
#

i need ideas for residential areas! preferably ones with a decent sized garden for each villager, @ me with images!

proper owl
#

i definitely need to add ponds to my place, i have zero right now haha

fringe vessel
#

Can someone show me what they did on beach? I dont know what to do there

grave aspen
#

I don’t have many ideas either. I did this in one spot. I don’t like a lot of stuff on the beach though cause I need to be able to see shells wash up and fish in the water

@woven drift Thanks! I had no idea too until I started experimenting lol

keen warren
#

yo wassup guys how do i make a cool house area

novel pebble
#

Golden roses 😎

#

keen shale
#

@normal vessel What I've been doing is making empty spaces as water and then making the remaining smaller spaces more lively

zinc schooner
#

waterfalls
can't remember where i found the inspiration for this but i love how it turned out

keen shale
#

also enables more creativity to make more water port-like features

#

Anyone have cool airport entrances? 🙂

slate willow
#

YouTube video?

#

Because I saw a waterfall like that

normal vessel
#

@keen shale that's a good idea! idk how it would work with my setup because i feel like i already have a lot of water lol

zinc schooner

nope, it was on this channel haha

Oof

zinc schooner
#

i'm never gonna have a 5 star island because i like weeds 😠

#

they look good honestly

novel pebble
#

IKR???

zinc schooner
#

more natural

sharp solstice
#

They look so good

novel pebble
#

Im getting rid of them for now. Imma plant them again once I get 5 stars and get some of the benefits xD

slate willow
#

The weeds look good

reef wasp
#

what template are people using?

zinc schooner
#

i'd love if we had other ground-plant options

novel pebble
#

Also what does Jacob ladders flower do in the game?

slate willow
#

Ima try to get gold roses

sharp solstice
#

Look pretty

#

Poison kids named brock

zinc schooner
#

yeah ima get the gold watering can diy then place all my weeds again

#

it's the only gold tool that's actually useful smh

novel pebble
#

If I go from 5 to 4 star rating, do Jacobs Ladder flower still spawn? OR do they stop spawning?

#

Yup XD

slate willow
#

I’m not a fan of the golden axe

sharp solstice
#

Thats a really good question idk antlers

keen shale
#

nobody uses the golden axe

novel pebble
#

xD

slate willow
#

Watering can is the best

novel pebble
#

Do you have a 5 star rating, oscar?

keen shale
#

apparently customizing the golden watering can resets its usage timer

novel pebble
#

@slate willow

#

NOTED!!!!!!

slate willow
#

No

#

I’m trying to get it though

novel pebble
#

Oh ok xD

slate willow
#

I don’t sell my weeds

dusky hinge
#

Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do with the northern half of my island????

novel pebble
#

Same xD Thats why im asking if anybody JUST got 5 star rating...wanna see how close I am to a 5 star rating lmao

slate willow
#

@dusky hinge dedicate it to making fruit trees

humble vault
#

anyone have any experience with getting rocks to spawn in a particular/concentrated area?

slate willow
#

No clue, sorry

sage jasper
humble vault
#

i'd love to make like a lil mining area or something. the only thing i can think of is to cover my map with paths lol

slate willow
#

@sage jasper it looks really nice

#

I like how the houses are organised

sage jasper
#

Thanks. @slate willow

keen shale
#

@sage jasper Very nice and organized!

sage jasper
#

Just gotta figure out where to put my museum. 🤔

bitter inlet
#

what’s wrong with the golden axe?

pastel lily
#

I made a very rough concept like this, with plaza (unfortunate position) and museum flanking the path.
My problem is what do I fill the other areas?
and should I spread out the civilians?

dire thistle
#

We... can't move the plaza, can we?

keen shale
#

cannot

dire thistle
#

I am gonna riot.

pastel lily
#

The river mouth positions are undesirable, but nothing can be done about it
I'm thinking of building a theme park to the west corresponding to the pier.
But what do I fill the northwest with?

keen shale
#

The creativity is building around it to make it look nice

pastel lily
#

How many bridges can we have at any given time? I remember reading it was 8?

keen shale
#

8 each

pastel lily
#

8 per model? or 8 bridges plus 8 stairs?

keen shale
#

Yep, 8 per model, so 16 in total

proper lava
stiff scroll
#

@humble vault I have experience

keen shale
#

@pastel lily it probably goes against your reference image, but I think a tiered cliff village would look nice in the northwest

pastel lily
#

I prefer to have the village down below, so when they look up they'll see the hill

#

conceptually speaking

keen shale
#

I see

humble vault
#

@stiff scroll damn pls share!!

#

did you build a mining site or something similar?

pastel lily
#

The design is deliberately "authoritarian". I'm trying to use German design

stiff scroll
#

I am doing that, personally. It's a work in progress, because I have to wait 5 days for the rest of the rocks to respawn

sullen berry
#

im really proud of my entrance, but i dont know how to arrange able sisters and the shop (other prt of town) so its cute and feels natural/unplanned. any ideas? please share if you have a cute area for these places!!

keen shale
#

Going to be a little hard with Ac aesthetic, but I wish you luck.

stiff scroll
#

@humble vault Firstly, only 3 rocks can be in a single map grid tile (e.g. B2, E6, etc)

#

So the mining area will be where two grid tiles meet, unless you want two separate areas, 3 rocks each

humble vault
#

huh

pastel lily
#

Yea it's pretty hard, I'm quite stumped.
I want utilitarian urban planning with Japanese aesthetics

humble vault
#

that's super interesting

stiff scroll
#

Also, in order to force rocks to respawn where you want them, that's a little tricky

kindred yarrow
#

Yeah, you have to place down patterns or fences all over your town, then remove them after.

whole hound
kindred yarrow
#

It'd take hours to remove and place.

proper lava
#

I wish we had more flexibility in themes. Japanese theme dominates so much.

Hopefully we some more of the NL themes in the future.

keen shale
#

There's much less selection of themes in this game than other game imo

#

but I hope they remedy that with updates

wintry junco
#

I need some inspiration for a waterfall entrance.. huge plot of land in the middle between the airport entrance and my main street that I have no idea what to do with

kindred yarrow
#

Same.

#

I miss themed furniture.

proper lava
#

There's much less selection of themes in this game than other game imo
@keen shale 100% dozens of sets missing from NL

kindred yarrow
#

Lovely, regal, cabana, etc. I miss them.

#

I miss hedges, too.

keen shale
#

I think the reason Japanese theme dominates is because it's spring, and a lot of JP aesthetic deals with spring themes

proper lava
#

Hedges / bushes are such a sad thing to be missing

steel cedar
#

I'm pretty sure they're gonna add things that are missing in future updates

kindred yarrow
#

It's literally needed, I don't understand why they left it out? Hopefully with the Earth Day update they add in Leif and his shop again.

#

I hope so! ^

steel cedar
#

I feel like they might have done it this way so that people who tt don't spoil everything within a month of release

normal vessel
steel cedar
#

Cause even with NL they released the Amibo update very far into the game's life

next cypress
#

I wouldn't mind if they never added all the old furniture series personally. I'm glad they got rid of all the tired old styles and hope they don't come back, or if they do, bring them back in a fully redesigned way (like how the rattan furniture takes the place of old cabana but looks way better)

steel cedar
#

Cute couch > lovely furniture set imo

normal vessel
#

i'm just happy that we don't get the ugly balloon furniture from balloons anymore

pastel lily
#

Well either way I love Japanese aesthetics, so that one is quite OK 😃
It's just that I want German influence and the best way to do it seems to be through urban planning

proper lava
#

@next cypress it's more of I want the diversity that NL had. I don't need those excat sets.

keen shale
#

Now we got bunny day to replace the balloon furniture ehh

kindred yarrow
#

LMFAO True.

normal vessel
#

yeah bruh that furniture is not the greatest looking tbh

kindred yarrow
#

I can't wait until I can sell all of this shit.

wintry junco
#

^

normal vessel
#

or even better sell the entire set on the marketplace

steel cedar
#

And then there's me decorating my whole island in bunny day because my villagers like it and I'm a gracious dictator

cerulean belfry
#

The bunny lamp is pretty fire tbh

normal vessel
#

that is so wholesome i love that

keen shale
#

I wonder if anyone's madea cursed Bunny Day island yet

cerulean belfry
#

^^^^^ oml I just finished taking it down

kindred yarrow
#

It's just an egg tho

cerulean belfry
#

I couldn’t handle it anymore

#

What we really need.. are Gyroids back ;;

kindred yarrow
#

LMFAOOO

keen shale
#

Gyroids pls

kindred yarrow
#

OMG YESSSS

#

I literally googled if they were in the game 😦

normal vessel
#

i like the party dress/hat tho

kindred yarrow
#

I miss my roost bb holding my gyroids

#

unpopular opinion i don't like gyroids that much

Single biggest thing I miss from NL. Love my weird musical statues.

I sorta tried but it didn’t rly work out. Going for more of a psycadelic look @keen shale

#

i just stuck all of mine in an exhibit at the museum in new leaf

kindred yarrow
#

I think it's more of a nostalgia thing, I never really used them but when I was little I had rooms full of them in Gamecube.

#

@cerulean belfry If there was Bunny Day fencing, then it could probably work

First time showing my map aah, but I'm actually kinda stumped on where the shops and museum should go? I haven't decided on where the lower 5 villagers on the map yet should go either so if anyone could give me some advice that'd be great! :'0

When I trade I rip out my flowers and put in a fenced off area :p

#

I've also seen someone use the trading stand, shoved it right up against the deck area and you trade through the window

LF someone good at exterior design to help me with a small area, will pay in NMT for your time

#

What's the worst someone can do to your island when you trade anyway? I just let randoms run around in my place if they want lol. I guess they could run through my flowers which would be annoying but eh I wouldn't be that upset.

I've traded to make bells to buy something from NC, when my trade partner bought what I was saving for :/

@tardy wren thats dope id make that walkway abridge if you can otherwise put some fence up on either side

@cedar forge that actually helps im gonna make one primary waterfall that splits into 2 and goes diagonal back to the main plaza

once you finish the "story"/get kk to perform, you get terraforming tools which includes a path making tool

you can make small perfect circles (2x2 with all rounded edges) but for larger ones you're gonna need to use custom patterns

What I'm not happy with, is that I have to go move everything and destroy all my bridges and inclines

@hearty lichen you take a picture of your map and match the corners it's super awesome

I use the same website too

After you move all your villagers in a corner then you can really start terraforming. Dont build your rome in a day though! Take it one square plot at a time

Take a picture of your islands map. Email the picture to yourself

Open up the website and follow above picture instructions

Also concerning happy home designer: it works as an idea draft but not well as a literal translation

Itll ask you to match the corners just click on the four and then fine adjust them after

What moe said very true

Yeah sometimes things can look good on the map but terrible ingame

or be impossible to execute

Go with the flow with your own island. Walk around and make sure if feels good. No rush

Wren does ur top pond spawn mountain fish

sage jasper
#

@hybrid swift The top right corner is a secret area and the water is sea level and it'll be surrounded by waterfalls.

hybrid swift
#

But I can make that my eye mountain fish spawn

sage jasper
#

Yeah, if you make it the right level.

hybrid swift
#

Well there’s only 2 right

#

And it has to be the top level

sage jasper
#

There's the medium green (1st cliff) and light green (2nd cliff).

sharp sequoia
#

hehe

hot pond
#

anyone got a picture of their cafe on their island i could use for inspiration? so far i only have tables and chairs and feel like i need more

#

What’s the big grey plot at the north side of your house

#

I mean island*

jagged wind
#

How do you edit what your island screenshot looks like

hybrid swift
#

They’re using the island creator

sage jasper
#

@hybrid swift I reserved it for my fountain and flower area.

hybrid swift
#

Geniusssssss

#

God bless your soul

sage jasper
jagged wind
#

I am

sage jasper
#

I preloaded my island screenshot and then outlined the edges today.

#

I used, like, 40% opacity.

primal ginkgo
#

I’m worried about have any flat edges on my mountain I’m worried it’s not going to be natural if I do but I also want more space

sage jasper
hybrid swift
#

Wren would you be able to do that with my map?

primal ginkgo
#

I wanna put a cafe SOMEWHERE but I gotta find a spot first

sage jasper
#

@hybrid swift It can be done with any map if you know what you're doing.

hybrid swift
#

I have no idea what I’m doing

hot pond
jagged wind
#

I overlayed a screenshot of my island into island designer but I can't edit the layout

primal ginkgo
#

I think you can also take a screenshot and directly upload it to happy island designer and draw over it

hybrid swift
#

But it looks blurry

#

And it doesn’t line up

#

Can I send an image from my switch directly to email?

primal ginkgo
#

Use a gallery one and post it to your twitter and save it and delete tweet

sage jasper
#

@hybrid swift I uploaded the image to twitter and it worked.

primal ginkgo
#

That’s how I get my screenies

hybrid swift
#

I don’t have social media..

sage jasper
#

Then you have to line up the edges.

primal ginkgo
#

Oof make a trash twitter for uploading

hybrid swift
#

U right where do u upload

primal ginkgo
#

Twitter and then go to your albums/gallery on home page

sage jasper
#

Facebook and Twitter are the only options.

hybrid swift
#

Ah got ya

#

Thanks y’all

sage jasper
#

I overlayed a screenshot of my island into island designer but I can't edit the layout
@jagged wind What opacity are you using?

jagged wind
#

100%

sage jasper
#

Reduce it and then you can see both at once.

#

I used 40%

jagged wind
#

But my next problem is that the river exits werent the same

sage jasper
#

Also, if you click on the eye, it shows the drawing version.

#

You can change that.

#

Just by drawing over it.

jagged wind
#

How?

sage jasper
#

Change the river to land.

jagged wind
#

I have to change it manually?

sage jasper
#

Yeah.

jagged wind
#

Oof that's complicated

novel pebble
#

Guys I need serious help: I am making my island a rustic/farm themed. What should I add??????

sage jasper
#

I got lucky and the river placements were perfect for my map.

worn flame
#

What do people do with their trees while terraforming?

next cypress
#

I just cut all mine down lol

jagged wind
#

Does it generate a new map template every time you open the thing?

next cypress
#

replanted when I was done

worn flame
#

@next cypress ahhh I was hoping that wasn’t the answer hahah

#

Well ty

sage jasper
#

Does it generate a new map template every time you open the thing?
@jagged wind Not sure.

primal ginkgo
#

No I don’t think so

sage jasper
#

If you download your drawing as an image, you can reload it.

#

Like in case you want to do it over multiple days.

next cypress
#

It's not that bad tbh, gets you a lot of wood and there are nook miles achievements for chopping down lots of trees. so you at least get some benefit

primal ginkgo
#

I usually download mine as a file on my iPhone and you can edit it just like normal when you reupload

sage jasper
#

What do people do with their trees while terraforming?
@worn flame I ate sky eggs, dug them up, and moved them to a section I wasn't working on. Then did section by section.

calm narwhal
next cypress
#

ooh love that, really creative

woven drift
#

Anyone with 3+ star review island I can come visit to grab some inspiration? I will tip!

novel pebble
#

Sure. Let me get set up

#

I'll post it here so anyone can come LMAO

woven drift
#

@hot pond love the neatness! I'd reccomend widening your pathways. 2 wide is fine but 3 wide is my fav. 1-2 wide feels claustrophobic imo.

mint stone
#

@calm narwhal is that a dirt path? do fossils still spawn there naturally

#

or just max aesthetic

worn flame
#

@sage jasper I just ate all my eggs and fruit moving them to one spot and now I need to move them again lmao but ty

primal ginkgo
#

I just cut all my trees down and I’ll replant them when I feel like it lol

calm narwhal
#

@mint stone It is a dirt path, but I'm not sure if they spawn fossils or not. I just buried a couple eggs for the the aesthetic.

novel pebble
#

N42NM. I am going for a more rustic/farm feel to it! Two things to note: Barbeque area is supposed to be a cornfield, and the flower valley is supposed to be a mushroom valley once I get access to the furniture!

woven drift
#

Can confirm dirt paths spawn fossils

novel pebble
#

@woven drift

primal ginkgo
#

They do I had one spawn the other day @mint stone

hybrid swift
#

@sage jasper i downloaded the pic from twitter what should i do now

mint stone
#

oop

signal dew
#

has anyone tried to make a star or crescent moon shaped pond yet? i really want to...

sage jasper
#

@hybrid swift Now, you go to happy island designer and upload the image.

hybrid swift
#

kk

primal ginkgo
#

@signal dew I had enough trouble just following a tutorial for a heart lmao I would love a star one though

novel pebble
#

Feel free to come to my island!

#

Might as well xD

mint stone
#

Imma come check it out i need ideas

novel pebble
#

Sounds good!

#

:3

mint stone
#

Need anything?

hybrid swift
#

@sage jasper when it says 4 corners does it mean the very corners or the corners of my island only

novel pebble
#

Stacks of stone sksksksksksksk Nothing really lol

mighty granite
#

If I want to go for a cottage/forest theme island what incline would suit the best? I'm torn between the natural ramp and log staircase

signal dew
hybrid swift
#

and where did you change the opacity

signal dew
#

whoops it's sideways lol

novel pebble
#

@mighty granite I prefer natural, but feel free to use both!!!! :]

patent sky
primal ginkgo
#

Cuteee I have one so far but the other looks so different in the map so I think I messed it up

sage jasper
#

@hybrid swift The part where A and B separate for 1 and 2 for top left and then the other corners like that. You can change opacity after you get the corners set up.

mint stone
#

wow looks real nice

novel pebble
#

OOOOOoooo

primal ginkgo
#

That’s beautiful! Looks so natural and cool @patent sky

mighty granite
#

@novel pebble I was thinking the same. I just want all the inclines to be the same lol

patent sky
#

Ignore the bottom left corner, I'm putting a farmer's market there but I just moved ketchup's house

novel pebble
#

Ah xD

@round thicket you're on your way. Everyone starts off this way, patience!

patent sky
#

Late response but thank you! Also if I opened my island would anyone like to visit?

woven drift
#

Sure would o/

round thicket
#

Do you rate i keep building this neighbourhood I have going on
Or do I move houses? :’)

Pictures from a while back maps changed a tad..

#

Horrible quality but is my neighborhood area too cluttered

spare hawk
#

how do i place paths diagonally?

woven drift
#

@patent sky please make a video tour

patent sky
#

Aaah I'll see if I can figure out how to do that

#

05WNK if you wanna visit, ignore the bottom left by the beach rn, and any paths that look weird I haven't fixed yet after terraform lol

uncut swift
#

@patent sky can I come in a bit

hybrid swift
#

@sage jasper howed u get the grid lines on yours?

patent sky
#

Yeah! I'm gonna leave the code open for a while

sage jasper
#

@hybrid swift What's your opacity right now?

hybrid swift
#

like 50 ish

sage jasper
#

@hybrid swift Grid lines were automatic for me in the site.

hybrid swift
#

i have them at 100%

#

i mean 0

sage jasper
#

I set mine to 40% when I was drawing.

#

So, I could see both at once.

pearl apex
#

Hi, I’m new at this. Can someone help me terraform LOL or understand how to do it Looool

hybrid swift
#

wait ur telling me you painstakingly drew every square..

sage jasper
#

You can change the size of the drawing thing. 😂

hybrid swift
#

oh ok good

sage jasper
#

But I roughed out the edges.

hardy hearth
#

Anyone have terraform design template/ideas people can use

woeful oxide
#

ahh, I saved my map design to upload it on my desktop but when I upload the image to the happydesigner, the map is blank

obtuse hornet
#

Island open if anyone wants to come and hangout or search for Inspo! My island isn’t finished yet but still proud of it hehe- dm for code ✨ my shops are also still open!

sage jasper
#

Anyone have terraform design template/ideas people can use
@hardy hearth fruit orchard, flower breeding area, stargazing place

hardy hearth
#

huh..?

woven drift
sage jasper
#

@hardy hearth Ideas for areas to make. Is that what you were asking?

pearl apex
#

Wait so can I use that happy designer thing on my phone ?

hardy hearth
#

Uhhh for lack of better words, I wanna terraform/transform my whole island

sage jasper
#

@woven drift Everything is so straight. If I was you, I'd add in some corners.

hardy hearth
#

To something better

primal ginkgo
#

I use it on my phone

woven drift
#

should i even attempt a bear / rilakkuma face shaped lake i feel like there is just no possible way to make it look clean / cute ...

pearl apex
#

Oh ok. Does it transfer over to our game ?

hardy hearth
pearl apex
#

I don’t think it’ll look clean enough @woven drift

woven drift
#

@sage jasper Yeah I'll round the corners in game, just didnt want to fiddle with it on Happy Island Designer 😆

pearl apex
#

How do you guys use your maps like that I can’t figure it out LOL. @hardy hearth

sage jasper
#

@woven drift Okay, good. 😂

I managed to make rounded corners with mine.

hardy hearth
#

This is pic I got from the game itself o-o by bringing up phone to get map if you mean the island custom design, its this website:

pearl apex
#

Yeah how did you get that map pic. I can’t expand my map @hardy hearth

hardy hearth
pearl apex
#

I don’t know how to lol
