Okay, rivers it is!
I do want the natural look, thanks for the advice! ^^

woven drift
#

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

jovial bramble
#

same but orchards mine is so boring and ugly

versed depot
#

Yeah

gritty coral
glossy cloak
#

Thats just a bunch of flowers its fine lol

#

unless you dont likeit

#

niceeeee

gritty coral
#

I want to start breeding, other wise I’d just leave it as it is for now 😂

#

I don’t have roses yet 😭

glossy cloak
#

me neither

gritty coral
#

My shop jussst brought in hyacinths

#

I’m very excited

glossy cloak
#

Tom Crook is an actual crook because you have to pay 98.000 bells just for the cheapest bridge and incline

gritty coral
#

😩 and then 10,000 to remove the bridge... can’t even relocate

glossy cloak
#

ikr

limber flare
#

I had mums and cosmos and they’re so ugly. Problem is I have an infestation of them

glossy cloak
#

ripppppppppp

limber flare
#

When I go to other ppls island for turnips or whatever I just steal whatever flowers their nooklings have

gritty coral
#

😂 Can relate 🙋🏻‍♀️

#

How many sqares/holes does your house take up?

thorn vortex
#

5x4 including the yard

jovial bramble
#

check pins y'all lol

gritty coral
#

Whaaaah. I just discovered pins

woven drift
#

Any tips on terraforming rivers? I keep making mine crooked...

#

🤡

limber flare
#

Make them crooked, you don’t want them to be all straight and square

#

You want it to look natural

upper apex
versed depot
#

Look up a circle chart and use that as the basis for curves if you're struggling. Eventually it'll become more intuitiive.

normal jasper
#

thanks @thorn vortex ! 🙂

drowsy epoch
#

Where can I find museum area ideas? Lol

wanton valley
#

anyone knows the tiles for inclines?

upper apex
wanton valley
#

is it 3x2? 😮

woven drift
#

Is anyone willing to check out my island and give me tips? Trying to make it look better 😌

plucky oak
#

i THINK it's 3x2
@woven drift i wanna

thorn vortex
#

yes 3x2 on the ground

autumn pivot
#

I wish buildings could be rotated it would be only change

karmic fossil
#

anyone with a completely finished town that would like to do a town tour for my youtube channel?!

humble flume
#

2 wide, 3 long on the lower level, needs 1 more space on the upper where it connects.

wanton valley
#

ty!

drowsy epoch
#

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 😦

thorn vortex
#

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

wind wind
#

I wouldn't center that with the TH, imo

#

walking behind it all the time would be kind of annoying

thorn vortex
#

thats what i was kind of thinking, also the waterfalls behind it would follow the alignment if i went more to the side

plucky oak
#

i love ur museum area

#

all of yall have such nice towns!

thorn vortex
#

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

wind wind
#

and a max of 8 bridges

thorn vortex
#

hoping they at least increase the bridge cap

humble flume
#

.... I think I need to go count the number of future inclines I have mapped out lol

upper apex
#

imagine if they give us a secondary island in a new update

limber flare
#

@thorn vortex ur map looks amazing

thorn vortex
#

thanks! still WIP

humble flume
#

Aaaaaaaa I'm over my inclines budget RIP me x.x

next cypress
#

I would sacrifice a raymond to get more inclines :X

humble flume
#

I would sacrifice bridges for more inclines in a heartbeat

limber flare
#

Turnips make life so much easier

next cypress
#

Saaame. I don't need a lot of bridges, I like the look of stepping stones most of the time

limber flare
#

What is is? 8 bridges and 8 inclines? Or 8 combined?

thorn vortex
#

8 bridges + 8 inclines

neat stag
#

*If I

humble flume
#

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

neat stag
#

It’s the map I don’t like tbh 😅😅😅

thorn vortex
#

one thing you could do is standardize the path widths

neat stag
#

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

timber dawn
uneven sky
#

looks great!

limber flare
#

My island designing skills are lacking lol

quasi eagle
#

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

copper valley
#

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

thorn vortex
#

maybe a stall colored white

#

and yeah i leveled everything before terraforming too isablush

woven drift
#

No

#

It comes in diff colors tho

thorn vortex
#

you gotta trade

raven scarab
#

Where are good places to go for island inspiration? I’m not a big fan of YouTube vids, they’re too long

tribal field
#

Lulu try Twitter or Instagram

#

Reddit

outer hatch
#

Pinterest

grizzled girder
#

@tribal field any particular subreddit or insta accounts to recommend? When i search its all just AC memes 😦

tribal field
#

this is the only one i've found so far

opaque phoenix
#

@quasi eagle i think a bench might look good there too!

humble flume
#

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

bright trench
#

@quasi eagle you should put a bench next to the phone booth!!

sweet plaza
#

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

dawn cosmos
sweet plaza
#

Also @quasi eagle i think a white wood swinging bench to match the height of the machines and booth

quasi eagle
#

oh that is a GOOD idea

patent sky
#

I need to see this stadium once it's done pls

unborn kite
ocean pollen
#

any 5 or 4 star islands i can vist?

#

visit

merry ledge
restive river
#

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

sweet plaza
#

@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

patent sky
#

I feel that, many shovels have met their demise

merry ledge
#

Is one space also needed if I wanted a zig zag incline?

cunning summit
glossy cloak
#

thats beautiful!!!

merry ledge
#

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?

sweet plaza
#

@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

restive river
#

yeah i’ll come, why not mikuhappy

#

as someone who does horse riding that actually sounds very creative

patent sky
#

I have peeps over but I'll come after if you're still open ^^

sweet plaza
#

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

merry ledge
#

Thanks @sweet plaza! I'll start with the bottom ramp and work my way up

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

Oh I remember

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

I like bottom left, could have your own secluded place

vernal crest

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

sweet plaza
#

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

sweet plaza
#

Yup she was 4th villager

restive river
#

Wtf keeps happening

sweet plaza
#

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

pearl ravine
sweet plaza
#

But you all can see what i'm doing here. But if you recognise my flag then you a mad lad

trim pulsar
#

does anyone know how far buildings have to be from the top of staircases?

sweet plaza
#

@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

trim pulsar
#

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

oblique cliff
#

@heavy summit is your island still open? i would like to pop over

sweet plaza
#

@trim pulsar yes

raven scarab
#

Is it possible to bridge a two deep chasm like this somehow? Like with a hopping bridge or something?

thin tartan
#

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

raven scarab
#

I can hop the bottom gap but would like to be able to connect the upper cliffs

I don’t think it’s possible😔

How many people are on my island?

any good neighborhood/row house ideas ?

ty for letting me visit !

what a great idea @sweet plaza you should be proud of this setup! beautifully done 🙂

rotund junco
#

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

restive river

Thank you for letting me visit SmugRyza

@rotund junco rows

The volleyball stadium will switch with a springy ride on horse race betting track in two weeks

#

@timid kernel

timid kernel
#

now that sounds like fun!

sweet plaza
#

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

sour linden
#

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

nope, mine doesn't have one

woven drift
timid kernel
#

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

queen nexus
#

place it over a path

lost basin
#

its useful when you have a lot of friends just starting out and you want to get them all the fruits quick

sour linden
#

true

queen nexus
#

i dont have space for an orchard so i got rid of it

#

don't even have native fruit

patent sky
#

I destroyed mine lol

#

The entire island is now the orchard

stiff warren
#

yeah i dont have space for anything

lost basin
#

I feel like I have too much space

queen nexus

sakura trees were too pretty

when you start aligning trees that's when you realize you really have no space for anything

behind the colecanth is the reservation area

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 :’))

vast crystal
#

im going to lose it if i dont get a good museum idea 😞

lost basin
#

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

vast crystal
#

@lost basin wait it out until you get more stuff

lost basin
#

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

woven drift
#

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

stone pilot
#

Anybody here wanna hel me with my islans

vast crystal
#

@woven drift unless the actual path is curved itself i dont think you can curve it with island designer

woven drift
#

it pictures overlapping grass and curved paths made from a custom design, have no clue how to make that happen myself 😭

past tartan
#

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

sweet plaza

Come back intwo weeks for a horse race betting course

#

i’m really struggling with where i want to put my rivers and stuff,, and terraforming is the most annoying thing ever

tough parrot
pure crest
#

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

vast crystal
#

@woven drift use a normal path and curve it then place a custom path over it

#

the custom path will take its shape

dusky thorn
#

^^ the background HAS to be transparent as well for it to take the same shape as the normal path under it

woven drift
#

omg thank you haha ive been puzzling over that for hours lmaooo 😂

solid linden
#

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

celest belfry
#

Maybe to many residents.

#

I haven’t beaten the game so I don’t know much

vast crystal
#

@solid linden maybe too many trees?

solid linden
#

oh man i didn’t even realize that could be an issue

vast crystal
#

yeah isabelle will usually say that villagers are "getting lost in the forest" or something like that lol

oblique cliff
#

@solid linden place a bunch of fences and furniture! if you dont already have a flower garden, start one! paths also help.

undone seal
#

i planned out this island and idk if i’m in love with it still idk a second opinion would be great lol

solid linden
#

thank you so much !

heavy summit
#

I heard that villagers walk on the path, i wouldnt know since i walled my path in lol

solar turret
#

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.

heavy summit
#

Maybe on the side of ur roads

#

Let the flowers compliment ur area, not make the flowers the focal point

solar turret
#

I kinda wanted to make one giant garden, or maybe 2 or 3.

solid linden
#

here’s my layout i want to keep that little island but idk how to change the rest of the layout

solar turret
#

Haha so that's the opposite of what you suggest 😂

heavy summit
#

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

solid linden
#

also i HATE my residential area but i don’t know how to fix it

heavy summit
#

Why do u hate it, it looks like its in a good spot

solar turret
#

Good layout to me

patent sky
#

Mine walk on the paths if you want an anecdote lol

solid linden
#

it’s very cluttered and there’s no room for front yard

heavy summit
#

Move ur house lol

#

Or the river

red bramble
solid linden
#

thhat concert area is so cute !!

red bramble
#

Thank you!

solar turret
#

So I have the same island as you @solid linden, same rivers and Plaza

patent sky
#

The camera just makes it haha

heavy summit
#

Add rope fence in front of the concert to wall off the “audience”

solar turret
#

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

solid linden
#

ooo that’s a good idea

solar turret
#

It helped to accentuate the Plaza since it's so far to the side

undone seal
#

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

grim pasture
#

graveyard, shrine, garden?

wind wind
#

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?

heavy summit
#

Not mine but this could help with ur empty space

vast crystal
#

thats really nice

undone seal
#

oo that’s looks good

wind wind
#

That's exactly what I was talking about, it looks amazing

undone seal
#

i might do something like that leading to my secret beach thing aha

heady verge
#

wait, can you plant coconut trees on land?

heavy summit
#

On sand path

heady verge
#

oh that makes sense

vast crystal
heavy summit
#

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

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 😭

wasted so many nook tickets

How do you get the diy?

celeste

heavy summit
#

Or buy it from someone

#

Or get someone to make it for u

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

heavy summit

I got no space

wind wind
#

I've posted way too many times on here, but any tips for this area on the right?

warped spindle
#

so this is with resident services being a tent--will the plaza pavement be centered to the town hall, or vice versa?

wind wind
#

I plan on throwing a diner to the south, but it feels like there's no space for the houses

versed depot
#

The pavement doesn't move, the town hall gets moved to the middle.

warped spindle
#

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?

undone seal
#

ik there’s a cute flower filled wagon,, that would look cute

long steeple
#

Oh that's a good idea

vast crystal
#

^ and garden lights

long steeple
#

Ooh true, do you think I would put them around the sides or in the middle?

vast crystal
#

tbh id just randomly scatter them

undone seal
#

a couple garden gnomes would look nice if that’s your type of thing aha

long steeple
#

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"?

If u have a friend or family member in the same house u can do that in half the time with coop

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?

heavy summit
#

Idk how to say it but theres not much u can do unless u tear it all down

heavy anvil
azure frigate
#

I think I might take down the waterfalls only since the rest is fine

heavy summit
#

Tiki adds to the indiana jones museum vibe

azure frigate
#

Yeah I agree with tiki

past tartan
#

@heavy anvil have you tried campfires?

heavy anvil
#

ya that’s what i thought lol might try garden lantern

#

i haven’t i’ll try it out rn also

past tartan
#

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

azure frigate
#

Yessss

heavy summit
#

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

upbeat thorn

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

Is audie rare in this game? just found her on a mystery island???

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:(

heavy summit
#

Then create different themes, dont make ur “perfect ideal island”

Thats usually the last thing u build before u quit the game lol

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

@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

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

Does it have to have river underneath to add a bridge? Or its possible even without

so unless theres water i cant add the bridge? 😮

No running under bridges

#

@strong terrace you actually can't even build it IF there's water!! It needs to be on the same level as the water.

strong terrace
#

Makes sense

shrewd oak
#

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

#

Im going to try that. terra is alot of work and i just got it. Sucks my villagers are eveyrwhere

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

versed depot
#

I would go larger if you can just because the hitbox on fountains is absolutely obnoxious

hearty remnant
#

What’s hitbox

#

Sorry I’m not English

versed depot
#

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.

Oh right . It’s a circle but it’s actually a square lol

@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

how far can you jump inbetween tiles like in water or cliff wise

long rover
#

Yh, the way the moon is shaped, you'll have to make it quite big to portray any pointy edges

wary gorge
#

and can you have a double high cliff jump, like a spire down however long and jump inbetween them

brazen mulch
woven drift
#

perfect maps are overrated, island design is always more fun

brazen mulch
#

Ty for validating me

woven drift
#

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

rugged rain
#

What is a perfect map even suppose to be?

versed depot
#

Whatever makes you happy

brazen mulch
#

Throw back to when I tried making a moon lake but it ended up looking like a crabs pincers 😍

rugged rain
#

Haha or pacman

woven drift
#

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.

rugged rain
#

Oh that sounds like nothing I would ever do haha

woven drift
#

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

brazen mulch
#

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

woven drift
#

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

brazen mulch
#

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 😟

woven drift
#

that would be fun !

brazen mulch
#

but the dogs and dog houses are so small

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.
