If you want natural look for rivers make sure the dimensions are even on both sides and it’s also 4 squares wide (as big as your river mouth)
Hi guys! Would love to see some of your flower farms for some inspiration
same but orchards mine is so boring and ugly
Yeah
This hot mess needs some help
I want to start breeding, other wise I’d just leave it as it is for now 😂
I don’t have roses yet 😭
me neither
Tom Crook is an actual crook because you have to pay 98.000 bells just for the cheapest bridge and incline
😩 and then 10,000 to remove the bridge... can’t even relocate
ikr
I had mums and cosmos and they’re so ugly. Problem is I have an infestation of them
ripppppppppp
When I go to other ppls island for turnips or whatever I just steal whatever flowers their nooklings have
😂 Can relate 🙋🏻♀️
How many sqares/holes does your house take up?
5x4 including the yard
check pins y'all lol
Whaaaah. I just discovered pins
Make them crooked, you don’t want them to be all straight and square
You want it to look natural
Look up a circle chart and use that as the basis for curves if you're struggling. Eventually it'll become more intuitiive.
thanks @thorn vortex ! 🙂
Where can I find museum area ideas? Lol
anyone knows the tiles for inclines?
@drowsy epoch
is it 3x2? 😮
Is anyone willing to check out my island and give me tips? Trying to make it look better 😌
i THINK it's 3x2
@woven drift i wanna
yes 3x2 on the ground
I wish buildings could be rotated it would be only change
anyone with a completely finished town that would like to do a town tour for my youtube channel?!
2 wide, 3 long on the lower level, needs 1 more space on the upper where it connects.
ty!
Interesting. I remember seeing someone who had like lil circular areas with fossils and seats leading up to the museum but I cant find it 😦
should I shift the center dip of the river over so it's centered with town hall or more to the side so you can see the bridge
I wouldn't center that with the TH, imo
walking behind it all the time would be kind of annoying
thats what i was kind of thinking, also the waterfalls behind it would follow the alignment if i went more to the side
as it is now, the right side of the bridge is lined up with the open space to the right of town hall
max 8 inclines
and a max of 8 bridges
hoping they at least increase the bridge cap
.... I think I need to go count the number of future inclines I have mapped out lol
imagine if they give us a secondary island in a new update
@thorn vortex ur map looks amazing
thanks! still WIP
Aaaaaaaa I'm over my inclines budget RIP me x.x
I would sacrifice a raymond to get more inclines :X
I would sacrifice bridges for more inclines in a heartbeat
Turnips make life so much easier
Saaame. I don't need a lot of bridges, I like the look of stepping stones most of the time
What is is? 8 bridges and 8 inclines? Or 8 combined?
8 bridges + 8 inclines
I have 10 inclines planned out so far, and I haven't even looked into setting up a place for my museum... I guess I know where I can cut 2 inclines but still x.x
It’s the map I don’t like tbh 😅😅😅
one thing you could do is standardize the path widths
A lot of the buildings are too close together to do that, that’s why I wanna redo it but idk at the same time
I have a little like garden thing around every building, so that adds on to the width
What do y'all think of my entrance? This is my first time really trying to design my island, so cut some slack lol
looks great!
My island designing skills are lacking lol
decorating help!
left side of my town hall has the two snack machines.
right side has a phone booth and a workbench, but i think the workbench doesn't fit the same aesthetic.
need suggestions on what to replace it with? was thinking a second snack machine but wonder if that's TOO symmetrical
I literally leveled my entire island. Trees, flowers, cliffs, rivers, all gone so I could start fresh and create my vision lol I still have a long way to go
you gotta trade
Where are good places to go for island inspiration? I’m not a big fan of YouTube vids, they’re too long
@tribal field any particular subreddit or insta accounts to recommend? When i search its all just AC memes 😦
@quasi eagle i think a bench might look good there too!
So, anyone else already brainstorming what they want to do with their town after they get bored of the current ideas or is that just me? Lol
@quasi eagle you should put a bench next to the phone booth!!
I built a stadium and put nook's cranny on the left and able's on the right. Cafeteria eating area where people can watch volleyball games 3rd level up above nook's cranny and i'm not sure on 3rd level right up above able's yet. In two weeks this volleyball 3 court stadium will turn into a springy ride on horse race betting track. @humble flume
Not finished yet this is mine so far
Also @quasi eagle i think a white wood swinging bench to match the height of the machines and booth
oh that is a GOOD idea
I need to see this stadium once it's done pls
I ended up just making a botanical garden setup for my cliffs not too bad though
Building my museum here. Can I build an incline directly behind it or does there need to be a space between them?
just stopped procrastinating and finally getting onto terraforming, makes me wanna pull my goddamn hair out
and i have too many hybrids that i really cant be bothered moving
@patent sky it is technically done already. Surrounding stuff is lacking
@merry ledge one space separation
So two blocks of cliffs. And put the ramp on the 1st
I feel that, many shovels have met their demise
Is one space also needed if I wanted a zig zag incline?
my entrance from the airport...thoughts?
thats beautiful!!!
So like a ramp going up right to left on the ground level and then on the next level a ramp going left to right?
@merry ledge one block between any buildings and another building. Including ramps bridges and campsite
You can have cliffs in between, but not another building
Anyone who would like to come see my Volleyball and Eventually Horse Race Betting Track come visit my island. I also have an isle of fossils for free
0D34P
@patent sky
@restive river might have some inspiration here for you too
yeah i’ll come, why not 
as someone who does horse riding that actually sounds very creative
I have peeps over but I'll come after if you're still open ^^
It isn't here now. But i will be using the springy ride ons and probably create a custom dirt and track with pathing. My 3rd stadium will have two ramps in the middle for a layered net 1v1 tourney
Thanks @sweet plaza! I'll start with the bottom ramp and work my way up
my map so far ! need some inspiration!
My entrance sucks but I put my houses there and I’m reluctant to move them now !
I’d love to ! I’ll come rn !
I’ll come too :)
redoing my island and i made a bit of progress in decoration and terraforming but didnt level out my natural cliffs,
should i:
get rid of flowers, furniture, trees, and level it out?
keep it natural but redo everything else
Ignore the time and date. I only time travel for catalogue 5 a day limit. Everything else is legit
MP02Q
come check out my 5 star jap place
im in the process of regrowing my trees to make it more foresty type so ull be seeing alot of sprouts everywhere
Oh I remember
Whoever comes. Not much on right side of island at the moment. But i have a villager complex on the left and a lot of people like it so far. In the process of expanding it (moving my campsite area out from in front of it rn)
on my way
Is it okay if I sell my pears while I’m here?
Anything y'all want to do
Tysm
on my way now
Please dont steal. Except fossils. In that case. Please do steal
I won’t 
ah ofc ^
Ima steal ur island get off
I just wanna sight see :(( need inspiration
Tf. Nah
Same lol @craggy bluff
I have multiple hide and seek locations so far as well
If you have a cliff building. You can hide an alley behind it
Oh yeah
Like my current house. Or a one block spot behind museum
Come to stadium first
Everyone
Annoucer/sportscaster podiums on other side 3rd level
At night. Between the studio lights. Are all white floor lights, lineing the stadium
It looks nice af
i love it! 🙂
@sweet plaza im comin!
Hey I’m new, to this discord and animal crossing in general. Don’t know much about what I’m doing, would love to visit some islands or have some visitors of my own (not a lot going on on my island though)
On my way!
we do be vibing doe
Which one
top left
I like bottom left, could have your own secluded place
access to pond day one, other than that whatever one you prefer
the river mouths cant be moved neither can resident services so take that into account
Really just consider whered you want dock and resident services. You cant move those
and outlets
For rivers^
Lol was audie one of the three you got during the storyline? Just asking since her house is filled with wooden furniture @sweet plaza
Yup she was 4th villager
Wtf keeps happening
Dunno
And no this is not how you get your rating up. I have like 200 things scattered on the floor around cause no inventory
And right side is empty
What fence would go good with my paths? I'm planning on planting trees in every third space
But you all can see what i'm doing here. But if you recognise my flag then you a mad lad
does anyone know how far buildings have to be from the top of staircases?
@pearl ravine brick and terra cotta are not cool next to each other
@trim pulsar one block apart at least. So two cliff spaces and connect to the 2nd with stair
so there needs to be at least one block of space between the very edge of my stair case (from the top) and a building, say my museum?
@sweet plaza
@heavy summit is your island still open? i would like to pop over
@trim pulsar yes
Is it possible to bridge a two deep chasm like this somehow? Like with a hopping bridge or something?
No unfortunately
You could make one out of terraforming dirt
or tbh you could probably just hop that gap as it is
but no building bridges
I can hop the bottom gap but would like to be able to connect the upper cliffs
I don’t think it’s possible😔
I love white roses
ikr, they aren’t hybrids but they look so fancy : o
@sweet plaza I'm on my way! a bit late 😄
Any ideas on what I can do with this blank space just by where my shops are gonna be? The strange dimensions really have me stumped! https://twitter.com/i/status/1250492665407258625
#AnimalCrossing #ACNH I'm totally stumped on what to put in this space! Any ideas? Dimensions are 15 by 5. https://t.co/vRaSwrXGoR
Can someone help me with the layout of my map
I am rn!
any good neighborhood/row house ideas ?
have one in mind to match the theme of my island but might be subject to changes
ty for letting me visit !
what a great idea @sweet plaza you should be proud of this setup! beautifully done 🙂
What do you guys do with the placement of your trees? They're scattered everywhere on my island and it doesn't really look nice
Thank you for letting me visit 
thank you so much!
@rotund junco rows
The volleyball stadium will switch with a springy ride on horse race betting track in two weeks
@timid kernel
now that sounds like fun!
This build so far added up took about 15 hours total with me changing my mind so much
And all the days of building ramps. I will add a river between stadium and onsen when i finish. But path is easy to go across
i hate life sometimes went to change island break down cliffs and fill water this is now useless
i show off my stupidity and how i have messed up when redoing my island
Dw Wolfie i did the exact same thing yesterday
its just annoying u know
keep it
@sweet plaza sorry for the loading screens, ty for letting me visit! 😄
call it the useless bridge lol
All good
Mini Orchard!
i must be the only player not planning to have an orchard in my island
nice
nope, mine doesn't have one
i downloaded a custom design, and in the image it shows grass overlapping like this, but the design itself has no transparency. wondering how to make it look like the image.
i think it's an easy way to fill part of the map and it fits with a lot of themes, very easy go to, same with a cafe
place it over a path
its useful when you have a lot of friends just starting out and you want to get them all the fruits quick
true
yeah i dont have space for anything
I feel like I have too much space
sakura trees were too pretty
when you start aligning trees that's when you realize you really have no space for anything
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVr2oXiVAAAKBeA?format=jpg&name=medium setting up a mini dining area
thoughts?
behind the colecanth is the reservation area
lookin nice
i’m making a little secluded area but idk it looks to perfectly round,, i want it to still look natural,, high key struggling lmao
I need help making my island look good :’))
im going to lose it if i dont get a good museum idea 😞
I feel like since im not time travelling that I don't have a lot of things to put outside yet
therefore trying to come up with ideas to use space is difficult
@lost basin wait it out until you get more stuff
that and the Nooklings are making it worse by cycling through the same 10 or so items everyday
I've seen the dumb tiny digital alarm clock a total of 9 times now
i asked in #game-help-questions❓ but they said to ask here if there is any way to make a curved path from a custom design you downloaded
Anybody here wanna hel me with my islans
@woven drift unless the actual path is curved itself i dont think you can curve it with island designer
well thats what i thought too but im seeing images online like in this post
https://acnhpatternlibrary.tumblr.com/post/614841964181012480/deteiubox
it pictures overlapping grass and curved paths made from a custom design, have no clue how to make that happen myself 😭
heres the entrance of my theme park. what do you guys think? I went witht the ice stuff because there isnt really a nicer arch in the game yet
i’m really struggling with where i want to put my rivers and stuff,, and terraforming is the most annoying thing ever
Any ideas for this area?
so i have one of those 'hidden' areas terraformed, i'm wondering if anyone else here has something like that? i'd just like to see some screenshots as i'm trying to cover the entrance a little better
@woven drift use a normal path and curve it then place a custom path over it
the custom path will take its shape
^^ the background HAS to be transparent as well for it to take the same shape as the normal path under it
omg thank you haha ive been puzzling over that for hours lmaooo 😂
does anyone have advice on how to get to a four star rating at least? isabelle says my island is cluttered but also says i need more decoration
@solid linden maybe too many trees?
oh man i didn’t even realize that could be an issue
yeah isabelle will usually say that villagers are "getting lost in the forest" or something like that lol
@solid linden place a bunch of fences and furniture! if you dont already have a flower garden, start one! paths also help.
i planned out this island and idk if i’m in love with it still idk a second opinion would be great lol
thank you so much !
I heard that villagers walk on the path, i wouldnt know since i walled my path in lol
Anyone have recommendation how to display the flowers when you have them all?
I was thinking 5-10 of each color of each flower, but that's a TON of space... And I have no clue how to organize that.
Maybe on the side of ur roads
Let the flowers compliment ur area, not make the flowers the focal point
I kinda wanted to make one giant garden, or maybe 2 or 3.
here’s my layout i want to keep that little island but idk how to change the rest of the layout
Haha so that's the opposite of what you suggest 😂
I have a garden too, but its in the top left corner of my island mainly to produce hybrids
And blocked off from the public
also i HATE my residential area but i don’t know how to fix it
Why do u hate it, it looks like its in a good spot
Good layout to me
Mine walk on the paths if you want an anecdote lol
it’s very cluttered and there’s no room for front yard
Good evenin
thhat concert area is so cute !!
Thank you!
So I have the same island as you @solid linden, same rivers and Plaza
The camera just makes it haha
Add rope fence in front of the concert to wall off the “audience”
What I did was everything east or north of the river I made second level and put some villagers up there too
Mine are much too close together for yards but you've got space up there
ooo that’s a good idea
It helped to accentuate the Plaza since it's so far to the side
i have quite a lot of empty land so does anyone have any cute things to add? like i’ve done a cafe and little theme park but there’s just sm room lol
graveyard, shrine, garden?
Dang, I kind of hate how there's street lamps next to the town hall, makes putting paths back there so hard
I always like filling semi-large spaces with nature
maybe get a path going through a forest?
thats really nice
oo that’s looks good
That's exactly what I was talking about, it looks amazing
i might do something like that leading to my secret beach thing aha
wait, can you plant coconut trees on land?
On sand path
oh that makes sense
found this on instagram. its really nice :o
Idk about growing coconut tree, i just took a full grown tree and put it there
That's nice, but I don't want someone coming along and grabbing my star fragments, hah
Thats what nova diy is for
Work in progress
Wow. Just looked it up, I didn't know the nova light existed until you said that
i cant get nova light diy for the life of me 😭
ive been to so many towns with celeste
wasted so many nook tickets
How do you get the diy?
celeste
Ok
people sell the recipe for like 20 nmts 😔
Im surprised noone made an eggman pissing on the moon joke in acnh yet with custom design and an actual moon
be the first to do it
I got no space
I've posted way too many times on here, but any tips for this area on the right?
so this is with resident services being a tent--will the plaza pavement be centered to the town hall, or vice versa?
I plan on throwing a diner to the south, but it feels like there's no space for the houses
The pavement doesn't move, the town hall gets moved to the middle.
that is...kind of really annoying
thank you!
I fenced in these two areas at the entrance of my island and I plan on putting flowers here, but does anybody have any recommendations of some cute furniture items to put in there too?
ik there’s a cute flower filled wagon,, that would look cute
Oh that's a good idea
^ and garden lights
Ooh true, do you think I would put them around the sides or in the middle?
tbh id just randomly scatter them
a couple garden gnomes would look nice if that’s your type of thing aha
Ah yeah that'd be nice
should i make a park on this layer or the upper layer? if i would to make it on the upper layer i would probably use a brick staircase 🙂
Oh yeah I have some gnomes
Question about Ramps,
If I place a ramp and want to place another ramp right next to it, side by side, how many "empty space" is needed in-between?
to illustrate it, would one space in-between like this to be enough for it to be "legal placement"?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/687461982139449360/700145763178512539/20200415_204824.jpg terraforming cliffs and removing flowers takes so longggg. just need to find a place for my house, and add in some lakes and ponds
If u have a friend or family member in the same house u can do that in half the time with coop
is there an island planner website?
Pinned
thank you!
@heavy summit omg whose is that? 😍
@heavy summit sadly, im the only member of my household haha
@waxen tundra idk it was some person on 4chan
I’m pretty happy with this but I don’t know what to do around it, since it’s right at my entrance :/ there’s just two areas to the side that I don’t know what to put because of the waterfalls so I might take them down
What’s your guy’s opinion on what I should do?
Idk how to say it but theres not much u can do unless u tear it all down
tiki or blossom lantern?
I think I might take down the waterfalls only since the rest is fine
Tiki adds to the indiana jones museum vibe
Yeah I agree with tiki
@heavy anvil have you tried campfires?
ya that’s what i thought lol might try garden lantern
i haven’t i’ll try it out rn also
might be interesting. I would go with tikis too but I dont like the height of them. maybe a campfire is like a more down to earth fire thing
ahh okie thank you guys
anyone else feel like they see something and want to tear apart their whole island to try it
yeah definetly I would love to build a huge stadium with a concert part in the middle
Yes
Yessss
Ima do that every month to keep playing the game, i refrain from building “my ideal island” cause once i get it perfect, i assume most people wouldnt touch it and get bored real fast
Does anyone have a picture of a forest idea? I’m planning on making a separate forest area for my villagers houses and I need some ideas
Next month ima do ww2 trench warfare, then the month after that, vietnam war rice fields and forest lol
i just saw this set of city/street paths and now i want to make a city.. but idk how to really make that look good so i probably wont
Is audie rare in this game? just found her on a mystery island???
Thank you that looks awesome!
Its not that shes “rare” shes just popular
Im honestly scared for when I get bored of the game. I’ve spent so much time on it and had so much fun:(
Then create different themes, dont make ur “perfect ideal island”
Hi, I would like some thoughts on my island design
Thats usually the last thing u build before u quit the game lol
looks nice but the asymmetry stresses me out a little
Idk I just want to build my perfect island now. I feel it would get repetitive to erase everything and start over every month :/
my resident services building is like one tile away from being perfect and it makes me disgustingly angry
I mean what else would u do in animal crossing lol
yh I hate where mine is placed too 😦
lmao
speaking of asymmetry
I don’t hate mine but its really close to my airport so I don’t know where to put other stuff :/
wow yours looks nice
i also have river mouths like you right on both sides and i hate it bc i have like no room near the beach for anything
@azure frigate yeah same and i don’t have room for a cute entrance rip :((
i thought i had space for putting a cute camping site but no I barely have some space
oh also i designed this island but i’m starting to doubt it idk
I might do that lol
I have like an idea on how i want my museum to look like yet ive been struggling ;-; i might be able to do what i want someday..
i adjusted some cliffs and water and made a garden area today. terraforming is hard rip. i have so many doubts about my island lol
im afk from my switch but u can visit my 5* island 9T0WT
im in the process of moving trees around so expect to see alot of sprouts
anyone got a carnival area on their island i want to know what to put in
@heavy summit im comin!
@novel ravine I do. its more a theme park then a carnival tho
What are peeps doing with their hidden beach/space leading up to it? I'm trying to figure that out for mine, I was debating a fish market or something like that, but I'm not sure
U gonna need a bigger area than a small beach for a fish market
@blazing night I made a maze that leads to it with the finish line beeing the beach basically
I have space directly in front of it, I terraformed a largeish corridor leading to the beach
I think it's 9 tiles wide at the moment
Just got terraforming yesterday but not sure where to begin. Any suggestions?
pp pond
Choosing what kind of island u want
What are peeps doing with their hidden beach/space leading up to it? I'm trying to figure that out for mine, I was debating a fish market or something like that, but I'm not sure
@blazing night I'm keeping mine hidden with cliffs, but a way to ultimately get to it to lead to a surprising discovery since my island has a low key horror theme to it
no way. could Icome visit? I would love to see a horror themed island. im still looking for ideas for my horror house
I actually just started, so it's only literally just terraforming phase right now hahaha
I spent way too much time organizing my villagers all in a controlled spot
i was gonna make a fishing spot with my tiny beach
my top cliff is dedicated to the campsite when i move it and i was going to put all kinds of wilderness activities up there
Anyone have ideas for outdoor areas
top is before bottom is after. took me 9 damn hours to do but im happy now
Does it have to have river underneath to add a bridge? Or its possible even without
has to have it
😦
Rude
@strong terrace you actually can't even build it IF there's water!! It needs to be on the same level as the water.
Makes sense
Recommendation, you can still hop from cliff to cliff so you can build mini platforms to hop across the river
and the water doesn’t have to be on the same level either
Blam
Im going to try that. terra is alot of work and i just got it. Sucks my villagers are eveyrwhere
You guys like
Having to move houses is probably the worst part of it all
Yes, very cool space I would totally live in @woven drift
Aw shucks
that is so pretty i love the sand design @woven drift
Hehe thanks
Should I leave it like this or also use the free line in the left? If not I would place the fence there . I don’t want to waste space making anything larger than it needs to
I would go larger if you can just because the hitbox on fountains is absolutely obnoxious
Like where you can't run. It's a square not a circle. Which makes it hard to run past if you have fences near it.
does anyone have sources to japanese inspired towns? or anyone who decorates their town like that? im looking for inspo!
Trying to make plans for a mountainous town. Thinking of removing the 'bamboo' area and extending the middle ground and increasing the space. I want the village to have lots of winding paths and hidden alcoves here and there.
Any advice/recommendations/examples you could share?
AGH I CANT FIND ANY. Does anyone have qr code/ numbers for an arcade floor?
@elfin python most are japanese isnpired . YouTube is full!
ohh i see thanks!
i am doing a “bee” themed island, lots of bee houses and honey custom designs, besides like flowers , what are some other ideas to throw in?
Honey comb pond or flower area?
@versed depot it would look like this (2 possibilities. Fencing there or more stone to the left )
@elfin python look for 5 star islands in YouTube
If you're ok with hitting the fountain when you run past then there looks good. If you want it to be easy to run past, or space for benches/whatever then out 1 I say
Anyone know how I could make the great deku tree in this game?
Yes I’ll like to decorate thanks
@heady dew your best bet is working with simple panels I guess or with qr codes on the floor
@past tartan how could I do it with a simple panel?
thinking about resetting my island bc i really hate where my resident services/river mouths are x-x
@daring abyss I reset mine lol
not sure tbh just was my first idea
Can u add custom designs to simple panels? @past tartan
yup
Ohh I didn’t know that
Has anyone seen any town-hall-plaza area designs that are pretty neat? I'm having trouble deciding what to put around it
My diner area in the really dense city I’m making
@viral geyser Here’s mine right now, dunno if this helps.
in:#island-designs has:image> i adjusted some cliffs and water and made a garden area today. terraforming is hard rip. i have so many doubts about my island lol
@indigo trellis in:#island-designs has:images your island looks GREAT! Super jealous of your cool rivers and cliffs I can’t figure out how to make them look natural for the life of me. Nice job
@versed depot Thank you!! It looks really nice 😄 😄 Did you put your shops near it?
Nah. I went for a sorta cliffside town, so my nook shop is above it, and my able shop is on the third layer even further up.
Gotcha! That's cool!
Which maps are the best?
the ones you have the most fun with
the ones that look the best
oh yeah actually nvm mine what @wicked basalt said
Can you do terraforming near that grassy part that ends in the sea?
thanks 🙂
Does anyone have a downtown/house layout that they think is amazing? I need inspiration.
There’s some really cool 5 star town tours on YouTube now. There’s a Japanese themed one that’s set up so well I can’t remember the players name but I’m sure it’s easy to find you can always check some of those out too
Does anyone who has a park design because I’m out of ideas for my park
@woven drift LOVE the use of the cliffs to make a room
@primal ginkgo tysm
Anyone know the size of the campsite?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVsW7i1UYAA1mpL?format=jpg&name=large seaside concert / dining
Do you guys prefer to make a huge plaza with the town hall/stores together or have them in two separate areas?
i have a plaza area with items to look like a town and the shopping district separate
I’m looking for some help, like tell me where to put stuff! (I’ll pay you for your time and effort!) DM if interested.
@woven drift Omg where'd you get the clam stuff 😭
I need some inspiration, DM/Send your map.
Nothing too special
That is amazing ^
Do you have a code for the custom path 👀
I’m trying to make a little neighborhood of all my villagers together, how big should i make the area around their houses? I want to decorate and put fences all around. This is how I plan on setting it up
visiting hours are closed
anyone have any feedback on my terraforming blueprint draft T_T idk why but it seems so basic like it could be one of the starting layouts..
5 Star Town - Raftel!
Date: December
Time: 6:00PM
Hemisphere: Northern
Weather: Snowing
Native Fruit: Peach
If you want to come to fish, hunt for bugs or hangout feel free to dm me for a dodo code!
This island is suppose to be winter themed, come out and enjoy the vibes!
Max 4 villagers per session. Please come with stable WiFi.
Flat and idk where to start 😌
Would it be easier for you to start with where the villagers will be going?
That’s what I did first.
i suggest using happy island designer! or just a good ol' pen and paper lol @still mango - a clean canvas is great tho! took me an hour just to get to my secret beach
This is my second time flattening my island. I’m just not sure what I wanna do
Wasn’t happy with my last design
wait a minute.... I HAD NO IDEA U COULD MOVE VILLAGERS HOUSES ONTO THE BEACH... WHAT
Yes lol
I feel you on that one. I have 320 hours played and on my 3rd island... sucks to be so indecisive
I have over 200
I have an island that isn't in great condition, but might provide some inspiration:
am super proud of my pool area🥺🧡
I feel like I’m content with this design. Feedback is appreciated. Might redo the top right part of my map onto a Wild Area.
thats a great idea! i need to utilize diagonal paths a lot more...
i think that's part of the reason my blueprint looks bare
i love the town square area @crisp sorrel
@uncut bluff very cozy pool area indeed gj
@floral ruin thanks! I have a couple of venues there like a Diner and a Gym!
@dire mesa thank you!!!
Dodo code for anyone wanting to visit this island D09D1 for those who need inspiration or just want to hang
@uncut bluff I love the pool areas, great idea!!
does anyone know the dimensions of a villagers house?
ooh yes @uncut bluff - that reminds me of like a fancy apartment pool, definitely something to add for my villager area (they're all on one main street). i have an orchard for them and beach access so far - pool would be great
@crude basalt thank you!!
@floral ruin yeah i'm trying to do like lounge and common areas!
@terse oak
Anybody got any ideas for a little observatory area maybe? Need something to go on my forested mountain.
feel free to pin moderators!
(i did not create the graphic, screencaptured from iGumDrop youtube video)
Yeah I think I’m tearing down my waterfall to extend the wild area.
@long rover lol i came and visit to check out ur board, turns out i came here before lol
7 days into the future 
Oh lol I remember you
@finite meteor wow I like it a lot.
Thank you @crisp sorrel 😊
What’s going to be on the left side?
I'm still wondering lol
Did anyone else unevenly space their houses on purpose for a more realistic look?
I might move the orchard instead of being where it is
A wild area possibly for hunting bugs and such? Or maybe you could place the museum there?
I like that idea
Yeah I like that too
Make a hockey rink
Can be an idea
Redoing my island what do you think of my plan/idea?
so many trees 😮
Feels natural, I like it
I love the small island!
the hop scotch pond to your house is really cute tho
or wait the cherry blossom
still a work in progress, but what do yall think?

Lmao but jokes asides looks good so far
I did
I cleared everything.. i might keep the cliffs so far and i am also removing water atm
I did too, 3 times over
Trees and all?
Yes
yea
I did yeah
All right
How long did it take you to clear @still mango
I'll get to it then
@long rover first time I did it maybe like 6-8 hours
It's a lot of effort and pretty tidieous, but it's worth it imo because it let's you start from scratch
basically ^
That's true yeah
Yeah it took me 6 hours too to destroy everything
I’m working it piece by piece
Took breaks in between
I suggest chopping down your trees and selling flowers
It’s especially longer if you had an island already made and decorated
I was thinking about it
My first island I did took me the whole day to wipe clean
I could imagine
Having trouble deciding what to do should I start off blank or should I try and improve what I have? I'm not happy with how anything looks rn
anyone have cool ideas for things to have on my island? the box d area is what i am content with
maybe a theme park? or a regular park? idk
a playground?
i like it
outdoor café?
i have zero idea what to put on the sides of my town
the left square will be zen garden/villager homes
yes yes keep the ideas comin i am lost
Do you have an orchard? @dense heart
Wow whats on the top right ? 😮
orchard ?
fruit garden
Flower garden!
Have you got any picture of it in game?
I’ll take one after these people finish joining
Can I fill in the river mouths or no?
Nope
nope
oh no!
I love your waves in your river so symetric
i could do flower garden on one side
yeah i didnt find that out until after planning it lol
and fruit in the other !
yeah can be an idea for you
How about you Raj? Have you got any in game pictures
Thanks! @finite meteor honestly it’s hard getting the waves right!
@crisp sorrel can i come over later? need some inspo
it must be 😭
yeah one sec i can record a vid rq
Sure! My session right now is full but I’ll send you a code when it’s not!
sweet thx
I am starting to see why this will take a while
Filling in the rivers is a very slow process
it really is
yeah its super tedious doing everything one square at a time lol
I'm already sick of filling my rivers hahaha and im not even done
but it also makes it soooo satisfying once you finish it
i agree
@crisp sorrel may I also get the code as well?
the edge sides are flat and green since they have been modified when i started
What happens if you destroy the rocks?
the plaza and upper part aren’t fully done cause i wana move all my house where they belong before i do final decorations
they randomly spawn the next day
uhhh they disappear for a lil while but they respawn
one at a time tho
@dense heart i love the whole arcade thing going on
ty it took way too long
do you have the code for the flooring you used?
Wow, extremely nice. Getting vagas vibes from that
the arcady space one?
yeah!
When these guys are done fishing I’ll end the session and invite you guys over.
tyty
How do I take down my inclines and bridges?
ask tom nook
you gotta go to nook
to demolishhhh
he charges 10k to demolish em
It cost 10000 I think
and it takes a day lol
Yh
80 LMAO
LMAOOOO 80
I wish I had 80
yeah its 8 bruh
lit rally
80 hallelujah
jail!!!!
i WISH we could have 80 good lordy lord
For those who wanted to see what the top right of my map looks like
they really said '9 inclines? what do u think this is? democracy?'
omg LOVE all the waterfalls
lovely
what does this look like to you guys
ball sack
micky
LMAOOOO
omg
i can not tell a lie.
who nut sack that wide!!!!!! go see a doctor
omg.... THATS SUCH A CUTE IDEA
that would be cute
i hope it helps
even just a dot and like pave it or somethin
Mejia, that looks really nice
ahhhh ok
Must be loud tho, those waterfalls drown most other sounds out.
better that than some of the hourly music lol
SHADE
if only this game has hedges
shade is OUT hunnies
Hopefully they update it so that waterfall volume doesn't stack
They’re supposed to maybe add hedges
CUTE!!!
10/10
love the patterning of it
love that
I like that
i like the two bridges
!!!!! omg that is STUNNING
10/10
Also should I take down my cliffs when clearing the map or no?
Thank you, much appreciated
I might tear it down to extend the wild area
i personally took down my cliffs even though it ended up being like a day long project lol
I see
it makes it a little easier to work with when you've got a blank surface
BUT also its like a shit ton of work and if u dont do it i am 100% supportive of that as well lol
@crisp sorrel Does the snow stick to the path or grass only?
The snow sticks to the path.
Oh okay, thank you
Whoever wanted to the join please dm me, making a session for those who want to checkout my winter wonderland.
10/10
cute! its got a nice city feel to it almost, with the street lights and the bridges
i like it!!
@lunar lion ty!
shoutout to @lunar lion for being the great hype person ever 🥺
10/10
omg thank u 
I like that Bluntlord, I'm sure it looks great in daylight as well
don’t worry girl my island is trash too
the symmetry here is sending me!!! brb gotta pick my jaw up off the ground
@turbid raptor takes time!
Wow, protectionist, even ur TV pimped out
😂
oh mood yall i be on my island like "aaaa these three stools by the lake?? pure genius" and then log on to scroll through MTV's Hottest Islands
Just got my 5 star rating today
OMG CONGRATS
About 250 hrs in 😩
Lmao I hate watching YouTube Island Tours because it makes me feel so bad about how my island looks like
isabelle told me i have to claw the 5 stars from her cold dead paws
Heres what i thought doing for the museum. Inspired by @crisp sorrel
That's looking pretty cool
Wow that’s a fantastic design for a Museum! Kind of wish I had that for mine haha 🙂
i like it! i feel like i havent seen that before so its neat and fresh
Good concept to start. I’m sure you’ll change it slightly as you go too
thank you 😊
i love how everyone is doing cool dramatic things for their museums i straight up just slapped mine in there LOL
LMAO
@lunar lion HAHA i feel that
I’m outta here, goodnight ya’ll! Take care
Good night
Night
Goodnight!
bye! tell ur perfect island i said goodnight
anybody wanna check out my island
@lunar lion 😂
updated draft - going to center the cat and town park on my actual island. thinking of having the 10 land pieces either represent each villager - or turn it into 12 and create a zodiac or memory garden/clock
Fish pond!
the absolute mastermind,,,, the audacity to have such a huge brain
lmao u should see my first draft and second draft... i've come a long way
1st - terrible
2nd - also terrible lol
id pay 500 nook mile tickets for my final product to look half as good as your 'terrible' 2nd draft
urgh why the museum is an odd number
cant believe we've got a secret architect phd on our hands yall
@crisp sorrel could I come check it out? 🙂
I’ll dm ya the code!
oops the C represents a beach cliff-side cafe - a homage to the museum cafe we were supposed to have LOL
@floral ruin GENIUS
god im sad that there isnt the roost or a café on the island
there was supposed to be! in the data mines of the game there is dialogue about a cafe
but the game never followed through on it
I hope 😦
fingers crossed!
Noooo I’d have to rearrange stuff if they add buildings
lol just realized i was sposed to fall asleep like an hour ago, night yall!!
I should of been asleep 8 hours ago, call me Blathers
Go to bed Blathers or the bugs come out
I got someone to help destroy trees and plants to speed things up a little
Would it look weird to use two different types of bridges throughout the island?
does someone know all the measurements of the buildings?
Should be fine @obsidian oxide
There are some pinned and some above posted by someone
Oh someone posted it earlier
is it possible to build a crescent shaped pond?? 😭
Of course, why wouldn’t it be?
not sure how to hahah
You make those sloped ones so I think you can
Hey guys! Would anyone with a 5 star place let me tour? Esp one where everything is pretty small spaced? I wanna see how people incorporate filling in small spaces. I promise i wont run over ur flowers and it will be quick 🥺
@jenna it's like pixel art, the more squares you use, the better it will look in terms of resolution
this is a mess but so far this is what i have...i might need to scrap my museum idea and try something different but i’m surprised i like it despite the fact that it isn’t symmetrical 😭
@long rover thanks for the advice!!! i've made a bear and heart before but i can't do a crescent moon to save my life LMAO but i'd like to do it bc my island name is moonflower
how far can you jump inbetween tiles like in water or cliff wise
Yh, the way the moon is shaped, you'll have to make it quite big to portray any pointy edges
and can you have a double high cliff jump, like a spire down however long and jump inbetween them
does anyone have ideas they'd like to share for a resident services building that is super close to the airport 🥺 🥺
I think water is 2 tiles
i want to make a restaurant anybody got pics
Might is right in front of the airport, unfortunately couldn't come up with many ideas either
Mejia's town has good reference points
That's one from their Island
Anyone have resident services near one of the sides of the map? Not sure what to do with it
Proud to present my project
LF someone that can inspire me so I dont have empty spots
do you have a picture at all of map or anything
Got some pinecones and acorns from another person. Forest area is nearly finished. https://t.co/zNG4ljKmq9
be inspired dammit
lel
people with two southside river exits: can you post your map layouts for inspiration?
@finite meteor looking good
Here is mine so far. Most of the villagers houses will be moving.
Why does everything i do make it uneven on one side i struggling with this for awhile had remove most stuff on top floor of castle ny ideas to fix this?
mines not much to look at rn but its got 2 southside rivers @frozen finch
Thanks @long rover
I’m trying to make the entire ocarina of time map in the game so far I only have Lon Lon ranch completed and I’m about to start on the market area
i was able to come up with this for a little plaza
but im .. not sure how to fill in the empty space?
I’m always an advocate for cypress
thanks @boreal solstice ! i feel like the spaces on either side of the river exits are very narrow for me and i'm not sure what to do with them. do you have any ideas?
Yeah. They look great in plazas imo.
kk thank you, i'll do that
Need inspiration for your island? Or maybe you just need a nice place to fish and hunt for bugs at? Join us! >:)
Anyone have a rlly cool island I can visit rn? I’m bored and need inspiration for my ocarina of time themed island
@heady dew sure i guess
@frozen finch honestly im just taking ideas i see from other people lmao 👀 no original ideas here
is this where i can show a part of my map 
ill dm the dodo code
Ok
Just finished this, what do you think?
I’d love to have people help me with design
@graceful notch bet
can I join someone and check it out
@abstract epoch sure
anyone have a super simple basketball court qr?
Can I join anyone to see their masterpiece? These look amazing and I need inspiration
how are y'all dealing with the awkwardness of 3x for doors/entrance for houses/crannies ?
My map for those wondering
Woah 😳 that looks cool
@crude lotus wanna come to my island
Yeah sure
can I come?
yall just come to my island tho
Let me slide Alfredo
lmao
I see alot of people do neighborhoods
can i visit @silver sorrel ?
Has anyone made their shops into a marketplace? I need some inspiration
kinda...i just added the two shops by the town hall on either side + some furniture
anyone mind posting pictures of a campsite they have for me to take inspiration on?
Destroying the top right part of my island and extending the wild area!
nice sectioning
@zenith cave i went for simple beachy campsite 😛
@fading anvil papi is chill af, he's on my island as well
Looks nice 🙂
Or Moms?.. idk
can anybody confirm for me that some villager houses only take up 4x4 gridspace but some take up 5x4? trying to do some groundwork to plan out my island :)
i think all homes but your own take up 4x4?
@pale jetty it’s pinned in this channel
@heady dew thank you!
This was posted by someone an hour ago. Credit goes to them. Forgot their username...
Hi I am hitting a bit of a creative block in my island design, wondering if i can visit someone to get the ideas pumpin, specifically idea for villager home placement/residential areas
@crisp sorrel wow i needed this lol, ive been making holes in the ground haha
thank you
hey uh does anybody have any idea how id be able to close this second-tier hole???
clean up doestn work?
gonna check just in casebut i think that only works for items
but i*
yeah items only lol
You'd have to dig through and get rid of it
kill meee lol

i got rid of it somehow but i have another “problem” that im just gonna keep in my island design
@brazen mulch wow, big likes! would love to come check it out if u ever host a tour
50 nmt for entry
down
Ty
can i come in my bear suit? i love my bear suit
Absolutely
this is a huge win
omg this is supposed to be my last area on my island and idk what to even do
Nmt means nook mile tickets, right? I'm relatively new here...
anyone got a nice island? i wanna take a tour ! ❤️ been working on mine alot
My island is nice but my map layout ugly as hell
perfect maps are overrated, island design is always more fun
Ty for validating me
i advocate for it tbh. idk why ppl strive for pixel-perfect rows and and extreme symmetry it doesn't feel right
looks a little forced, although it is cool
What is a perfect map even suppose to be?
Whatever makes you happy
Throw back to when I tried making a moon lake but it ended up looking like a crabs pincers 😍
Haha or pacman
What is a perfect map even suppose to be?
@rugged rain basically maps that are meticulously measured by each pixel and everything is symmetrical, etc.
Oh that sounds like nothing I would ever do haha
it's cool tho, not hating. just saying that ppl who don't wanna do that are awesome in my book cuz it really forces you to think out of the box to make things work
I was really having mental breakdowns after destroying my entire island bc I didn’t know what to do
But somehow winging it worked in my favor
like the straight row neighborhoods that clump all your villagers together for example, like yeah its cool to play it simple but that's ACNL design meta imo. we can do better
And I’m happy except I still need to finish one more part of my island which is where that caged dog is
I wanted to make a dog park or something or a dog adoption center 😟
that would be fun !
but the dogs and dog houses are so small
i feel you on the mental breakdown.
Us designing our islands 😍
LMAOO me
thats actually me
so relatable
yeah !
let me clean up!
Oeh could I visit that town today aswell? In a few hours if that's okay?
oo could i join in on a visit
The video isn't working for me
yes just give me sec!
how did you get those cool random cut outs between your airport and the RS @tame mortar ?
anyone else close off one or both of their river mouths?
Or maybe she’s taking me to the Sahara 🥺
oh gotcha
making dodo
can inclines go on the beach?
i'd LOVE to come visit but in a league match atm, could you take a screenshot of your airport area leading up to that RS?
scratch that i can sneak in but i'll be semi afk during my stay 😄
kk
can i visit someone 🥺
after these people :]
Hi! Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to place one incline directly next to another, or if you need a space between the two?
space
Thanks! Just one?
Would anyone be able to like drop me some stuff / show me what I should do next and help me make my island 5 stars I can pay in bells and some nmt
I want to have multiple staircases, is why I’m asking 🙂 thank you!
im still at 2-3 stars
Alright so I'm wondering which of these would be better to use. Blue is water, the rest is land. The letters are different styles i want for each patch of land, with the middle being town hall and other stuff.
