Okay I need help with my island. I don’t like it AT. ALL. and really want to kind of redo and reorganize everything. But I’m a little sick. So I have an orchard where my heart ponds are, and then one to the right of my marker. So I’m thinking of moving the house to my left so that I can reserve the space for more orchards but then I don’t know if I want to redo my neighborhood by moving everyone to the top left or if I want to redo the bottom right and move people there. Either way some people will have to be in both areas, I just don’t know if I should start with the area that has tons of space or the area that’s super full and has a fuck ton to do first...
Maybe have your rivers connecting could help you organize
like in a more direct manner
does anyone KNOW HOW TO MAKE NATURAL RIVERS WITH TERRAFORMING
EVERY TIME I TRY TO TO MOVE IT ALONG IT KEEPS UGHUSDFJSDF
@storm hamlet is there a possibility i can come over to your island for a closer look to help you with your island to make it more appealing to you?
also uhhhh if you wanna make it natural just don't do a lot of straight rivers
im trying
to try and terraform this river
damn that's a huge ass river
im gonna shrink it
chunky river
try not to use 90 and 45 degree angles
yeah a lot of people have been struggling to make natural rivrs
what you should do is maybe restart from the east river
seems like you have already figured it out on the happy island designer app though? Why not just follow that
chain are u okay
i DREW IT its hard to REPLICATE IT
Do you have any suggestions?
no
Don't know what to do lol
hold up
Yes please ;-; @ruby moat
Hit the edges with your water tool in frustration until the mechanics make sense to you
Worked wonders for me lmao
I'm not sure I understand? The drawing has exact tile dimensions of what you want to make... so just place down those exact water tiles
.
do you not know how terraforming works?
AND replicating it exactly
sometimes it DOESNT curve
obviously not if you think im able to replicate it tile by tile
Ok, I really don't need to be treated like this
k
I've done this yes and replicating it was fine
also
try doing this for a river
but curve it
@storm hamlet what's your dodo code lol
Hit the triangles with your water tool to curve it
You can hit areas twice as well
i get what i showed you before
yes i know that is what im d o i n g
but that's not what you're doing if you're not replicating tile by tile 
ok i guess we're leaving this conversation at that lmao
9DXB3 @ruby moat
People are only tryna help, there’s no need to snap ahah but Um, I have no idea what to fill empty spaces w and its getting annoying
Thank you ;-;
I'd like some feedback from the picture above. What should I work on.
i cant copy it tile by tile-
also how big are the empy spaces @woven drift ?
Quite big , I’ll try get a pic of my map hold on
do like a square and then try hitting the riverbank once?? idk its kinda hard to explain im sorry
I have so many empty spaces and idk what to do with them
parks, outdoor libraries, flower/tree areas, cafes, markets, etc.!
Nvm, I’ll get a pic after. It’s just I’m rearranging everything and it might be slightly confusing to look at
does anyone know how to FIX it
look up at chat martin
srry for the rachet picture but try hitting the top green square once
I'm doing a lil outdoor library with butterfly models by reading areas 
so bridges can be placed diagonal...sweet! i just read the article. 🙂
That sounds adorable winterr
or do 3 squares straight in a row and hit the top 2 squares once each ?
huh-
:D ty!
video showing how to build diagonal rivers for anyone who needs it bc it was driving me crazy omg #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/LreS2SO4ir

lol
though-
It's still the same thing they're trying to explain to you
othewise, there's no such thing as a perfect curve in AC
@eager python LOL those look exactly like my paths I made for myself... and never posted LOL 😂 very nice tho
Any ideas of what I could put here?
Maybe a marketplace @pearl ravine?
Sounds good
seems like it would be good for turnip storage too
there’s blank ones of this and they could go good with a turnip storing area
Thanks!
I want to go on an island tour :) dm me please
Wait a minute. I was already here


Which one do I go to again?
not you dusty
O
Which channel should i go?
don’t know, look in #server-info . i just know this isn’t the one lmao
Island visits, it should be at the bottom of the list
You'll find it under Friend Codes
is there a link to some of the custom made path designs?
i am horrible at designing lol
Paths are usually posted in #path-codes
How do you make a heart island? Everytime I try I end up with this, does it have to have an odd numbered width?
maybe i would break one in the middle right to even it
or put a half to the left middle
could anyone give me some terraforming ideas for the big cliff on the right side of my island? it feels kinda flat right now. I'm mostly planning on putting some villager houses there but I'm just looking for ways to make it more natural and environmental, specifically with water/tiering.
idk im stuck like that too
@sonic lily yo it’d be sick if you like dug out a valley inside the cliffs and put a little neighborhood or park or something in there surrounded by waterfalls.
ohh I really like that idea!! i was actually thinking of making a valley type thing for my museum and have it be surrounded by waterfalls and cliffs. my only issue is figuring out what to put on the clifs on top haha though i could probably do some houses and outdoor furniture
just finished a ton of terraforming, haven't decorated yet, anyone wanna come by and give feedback?
What should I do with my entrance
poof it's hot now
@hushed tapir It's pretty but maybe lacks a bit of character? I don't know what the rest of your island looks like but you might want to try and pair it to that so it's uniform. Like if you're going for an Asian theme, add a bit of imperial or zen fencing, bamboo, lion dogs, lanterns. Or if you want something more rustic the evergreen trees, log benches/fence, stumps, camp lanterns and signs... and so on.
island is quite the mess right now... could anyone help me figure out what i could do for the left side of my island and the bottoms right? the houses at the top i’m planning to move
how do people have so much room here i am scared to make a fricking orchard.
my full island map for my main island
Where...where is the grass?
Oh my
ok h old on i love it
Suggestions on how to texturize this? Or if I should make it bigger
you can texturize it by using different colours of green
Imma cry. I hate the grass in this game so much. I just wanted to make a swimming pool
Okay so question time im think about moving my museum to the top left or bottem left top left give me more creative space but bottem left with have a better path flow plus i was thinking of putting coded dinosaur feet in the sand
Any way to work around this??
@round storm Are you just wanting to minimize the amount of visible grass near the water?
How do you mean?
Yeah because it's supposed to be a swimming pool, not a pond or river
you could try custom designs
I hate the grass so much it's EVERYWHERE
Hot ig
That looks super cool
No way around it but this infinity pool is kinda cool
It’s pretty
custom designs will get closer to the edge at least?
@round storm There are some custom QR paths that can reduce it, but unfortunately even then there will usually be a thin line of grass. You might just want to use the actual pool item with stone or wood or whatever under it if you don't want to see it at all. (https://villagerdb.com/item/pool)
They will?
I love infinite pools
A little bit of my island in this clip of despair https://twitter.com/JayRing627/status/1251237619733655552?s=19

I need some suggestions for my island layout, I’m not sure where to put the museum, and I feel like the villager’s houses are taking up a lot of spaces? Idk how to better use it
any cafe inspo
is the yellow and red banner pole thing a diy or an item you buy in the shop??
pocket camp item
is it hard to get
just download the app, and after u can redeem the reward
aight
its like 1k bells in the store after u redeem it or smt
yeah idk what to use my space for
No, I want more space
i just covered it in forest and flowers
I feel like I have no space
Wanting to put a fountain here and maybe some fence to make a little boardwalk plaza, but that grass....
Any suggestions?
Does anyone else feel like they have WAY too much space and not enough things to fill it with? I've already got a soccer field and a MASSIVE orchard but there is just so much emptiness. I wish there were more buildings.
I wish i would've know sooner that you can't move the town center 😦 . Now I need to redo a whole quarter of my map.

Will fruits not grow back on trees if they are too close together?
@dim pumice I've seen some people use villager's houses as natural extensions of their island design. Like depending on the exterior, they might turn the house into a villager-run cafe, or a zen garden for one with a Japanese design, Ankha's has a little sandy desert area around it, etc. That way you can keep them spaced out but they're integrated into the town.
Spread your island out
Do you guys think it would be better to have all the houses together or have them be half and half?
That’s a good idea! Thank you
I love having everyone nestled together like a little town tho
depends on if u want a community or like natural
cuz for me im going for like a natural theme so my houses r all separate
I want to go natural also
I have so many empty spaces, really hoping we get more buildings and shops
it would look more natural if the houses r more random and scattered
Will my fruits grow back with the tree like this? Or do they need to be separated more
@burnt mortar yes
They should yes
How many days till they grow back? Its 3 right?
Yep
the corner 👀
Sorry for the crummy pic
I'm honestly at a lost on what to put here. I tried putting my sphinx and pyramid here, but it didn't mesh well with the other bits of the island.
It looks pretty good, but i've yet to see ppl use a more compact style
@rancid abyss you got a cafe?
I'm redoing a lot. But right now I'm working on my little fruit garden. Top right lol
I do not, that sounds like a great idea
But idk where to start with that, does anyone have any custom designs for a cafe?
If you don't mind I'd love to visit
Ty
I'll dm you, also Stutters if you're looking for ideas you can come aswell
If they add a cafe and an art gallery, I hope to heck they are separate buildings from the museum lol
How does anyone decide their layout? Im beyond confused
I don't think they would add anything though
I hope they do ahh
Pearlteacup, many ppl plan but sometimes going with the flow is a better idea
For example you can choose a layout and work with what you're given
That's what I did atleast
That makes sense, I just feel like I’d be constantly moving stuff
How does one get the floor lights???

@vast zealot that works amazing for special villagers like ankha but what do you do with all the normal ones or even worse the two first villagers that don’t have their default houses
You buy them, I can catalog some
Ooh ok
Desperate for ideas, I sorta like it but sorta don't. No idea what to do outside of the center
The map isn't always the best reference
Flowers are really annoying when trying to layout your island. I just uprooted and binned all mine
@languid jungle I know some people who have actually traded out villagers they like for someone else, then hunted down the original character again to get their "real" house instead of the crappy starting ones. Might be worth? If not you could just work those into a "normal" neighborhood area with cute little yards/flower gardens and such.
Not sure what to do with the shops. Kinda hate their positioning. But I sorta like the way I've got the housing
Hello, i just got acces to the island designer, so i went to a website to try designing my island before doing it ingame, what i did is possible to do ingame ? here's a comparison of how my island is and how i want it to be ^^
I think a lot of your curved paths in your new design won't look as good in game. Since you can't make actual diagonal lines, they're more like rounded corners that don't look that good in a row. Otherwise looks neat
@hushed tapir I'd love to check yours out!
you speak of where all the villagers will be ?
Which website did you go to?
I looove the way you got the houses figured out, but yeah unfortunately the diagonal paths won't be as good in the game :(
@burnt mortar I'll open gates in 15
Sounds good!
@brave epoch https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
Thanks!
I actually kinda like the „diagonal“ paths in game. They have a more natural feel and I’m not a big fan of just geometrical paths
i'll be able to test ig with the rounding, but my question is more about possible things, cause i learned few minutes ago that where the water go in the sea can't be changed x)
Yea that plus town hall and airport cant be changed.
ok, i took that in consideration
any other things ? that's why i sent both base island and new one ^^
So your Plan is probably going to be expansive because of all the relocating but doable
anyone has ideas for entrance decoration?
i already have 2M
but can have more cause i have a lot of tarentula waiting for Flick
this is what I've designed so far, I'm really figuring out almost every single thing :(
ooh, that's neat, i didn't though about not doing a square island 😮
is that possible too ?
Oh and you cant do two north beaches or change the location of your existing one. Plus the rocks on the beach can’t be changed location wise
is that possible too ?
@vapid prawn no you cant terraform anything on the beach
@languid jungle ok, thanks for this information, so what i wanted to do is possible then
Just the green parts can be terraformed basically
oh, i just get what you meant by the 2 north beach, the one that is linked to the path is the correct one, the other is the one of the previous layer that i didn't removed x)
Shuyin, something natural look greater imo
but it all depend on the general feeling of your island
not necessarly, but you can use custom path that look like wood, mushroom, grassy stone, etc... and put flowers on both side
that's how i see it ^^
np ^^
I just thought of an amazing idea for my pool area!
What is a good width for pathways/walkways? 2 squares wide?
Using green tile! It will blend in with the grass so that it looks like it isn't there!
Currently working on it lol
thats really cool
LF inspo on in front of your house O:
@gleaming storm depends on where it is, if you want trees lining the sides I like 3 wide more cause then you won't have tree in your face, but I also really like 2, so it's a preference, if you use 2 you'll have more space for other stuff in your town
@burnt mortar opening gates gonna dm
Kk!!
@hard moat thank you! For some reason I had 4 in my mind, but after I started, it just feels way too big
yea, even still i'm not sure about my 3 path, I've been having a really hard time setting like a design for my island
Same 😦 so many ideas but no idea how to lay them out
hum
i made a frog
but at first I was only doing 3 wide paths and I ran out of space so fast
but i think i might make it a cub
how!!! @hexed pond
@hexed pond that’s amazing
i got inspo from this pic
he is adorable
shout out to the artist, not sure of the name
but decided to make a body
with a waterfall
omg that is so cute
It’s a really good idea 💡 love frog xD
this is the first level
it just looks better from the mini map
the bridge will be destroyed tomorrow
top view
What fence would you guys recommend for like a carnival/fair ground? O:
Paying in bells/iron nuggets for someone to place a path down on my island DM me if interested thanks!
Rope fence
Or wood board fence
@woven drift other people cant place paths on ur island unless you give them your switch and im not sure if it's worth it
Need feedback for my marketplace. I kinda like the ables area but don’t know how to feel about the rest
@languid jungle in the second picture, maybe try putting a stall above the bench on the right to fill the space?
@languid jungle I love the resetti manhole though super cute!
I think you could use a couple flowers around it would help brighten the area up
@warm ingot think it’s more convenient for me to have a second entrance there. I run to nooks from there a lot lol

@languid jungle I really like it!
Need someone to help me placedown psths with bay a lot of bells and nook tickets!
I don’t think other people can place paths on your island
Would anyone mind giving me an extra opinion on my island so far? Ive added afew hills and whatnot and im not sure what to feel.
If you send some pics we can give our opinion ^^
Will phone pics do? I have no clue how to send pictures from the switch
Yup! And you can send pics by taking one and then uploading it to twitter via your gallery on the home page then you just save it off Twitter
Finally did it
NICE!
Lucky!!
that's awesome. I thought the rocks couldn't spawn that close to each other for some reason
@next cypress Where I’m standing is the dividing line of two different grids
I have two right next to eachother right now but I don’t even want them there just too lazy to break them lol
ooh, so it's limited by acre. Clever setup
@languid jungle i think one of ur marketplace pole is backwards
Any suggestions? I’m trying to decide on where i should move my house. i’m thinking the area on the right side of the river but idk if i should make it on top of a cliff or not.
@languid jungle i think one of ur marketplace pole is backwards
@heavy summit lol you’re right 😂
To the right of the stairs going to the museum might be neat!
Like right in the middle agaisnt the wall of that bit
I have alot of images to send, sorry for the crazyness
@languid jungle i love your island!!!
This is all the space I have to work with in front of my plaza. Any ideas how to make it look nice? The airport is just out of frame on bottom left corner. I've erased the dirt patterns to start with a blank canvas.
It's so close to the beach I can't do anything nice :(
Hmm
Jesus that's not much room at all
Maybe some nice fencing and flowers?
Thats basically what i have with my rs and airport lol
I'm having the same struggle. Plus my welcome sign is a tile off from the airport so it's misaligned. Driving me crazy!!!
Here it is blank
I did have flowers, but idk how to make the paths around it connect and look nice 😭
Look for some museum info!
Fit some trees in there too.
For sure
I really wanna redesign a lot of my island
maybe like a picnic area or a park?
Hmm maybe trees. I couldnt figure how to incorporate trees
Mind if i have an opinion on this area real quick?
Can you move the town hall at all?
Nope
Noper
I bet
ia are you saying about my map or something else
Could someone come by my island later and give me some tips
About you wanting to move it
Oh no i meant
Meant to say, looking for museum layout inspo** lol
Mind if i have an opinion on this area real quick?
The struggle is realll
Are we allowed to post pics of islands made on Happy Island Designer? Also this is what Im hoping for my island to look like
Oh right, i have a bunch of pictures to show so i didnt wanna derail your questions
Noo
how does my dream island layout look?
I want to see pics ' ^ '
I need someone to help me design my island to look nice. Please dm :3
You can’t really change the shorelines, but otherwise that layout looks nice.
lmao i got 5 stars right after pietro left
@shy mango I really like that actually
oh thank you!
i so need terraform permits but i only have 1 star rating 😦 how do i increase that
that marketplace is so cute
I have 5 stars, but my island is still ugly
@safe ice Unfortunately impossible: you only have two river mouths, can't move them or create new ones and one will always be in the south
@languid chasm lmao
Struggling with the entrance as well. Airport is just out of frame below the welcome sign. Beyond the stalls is the town hall. Everything is SUCH a mess and I'm stumped
ive still gotta fill out the stalls
@safe ice placing furniture outside, getting rid of weeds, planting more trees and flowers, etc.
i knew the clown was a blight upon my town. i was right to imprison him
You get 5 stars by listening to Isabelle’s feedback.
I literally spammed flowers and fences everywhere to get a 3 star lol and threw random decorations. Then once i got the terroframe I redid it
@arctic mantle no shit lol (no offense)
Oh yeah, fencing, I forgot
Well everyone’s feedback is different, buddy.
inviting more villagers and building bridges and stairs also helps
I somehow got 5 stars
Theres one more big area i would like some opinions on. once again sorry for the amout of pictures!
Idk how the trade system works tho
I jumped from 2 to 4 somehow, despite the island looking like absolute garbage at the time
Will the star rating go back down I pick up a lot of items
I got 5 stars without trying just by not placing turnips down on the beach as I’d been doing.
It can go down yes
Ah
Hm
Any opinions on this peasent area?
i need 2 trap celeste here for pics
how do i get 5 star rating just so that way i can get golden watering can recipe
We literally just told you...
I’d never seen anyone mixing fence types like that. I kinda like it.
making sure aaaaaaa
Only Isabelle knows what you're lacking or doing wrong
ill just spam the entire island with black roses lol
Mistakes were made guys... can anyone throw me any ideas to fix this?
https://twitter.com/GreyFaceGanon/status/1251255712728023042?s=20
@shy mango i like the mixed fence types. those two look real nice together
Right, im going for a medieval peasent theme goin on over there
But you seem to need enough villagers before you get proper advice
Thank you guys 🙂
I wish we could go diving in this one 
I'm still keeping the hope up for diving
Surely they wouldn't completely remove that feature, right...?
Think they'll add it??
I do! Or at least, so I hope
@verbal bay The fact that several buildings are 5 or 7 tiles wide is so annoying lol
I'm also hoping for bushes when Leif shows up...
Ik 😫 😫
Are there sharks in this one ?
It literally makes no sense for them to give us uneven buildings/items, yet here we are.
Idek, I thought you could place buildings halfway like furniture
There are sharks, but they're a summer fish!
Ooohh
Dont get me started on the square hitboxes for r'ounded items
Oh my god if they brought bushes back
All about the seasonnss
My resident services is centreline, and I wanted everything in a line down the centre but the shop, museum and my house would be off centre >>
Buildings that are odd number wide are great for odd numbered paths and such, though
I straight up buried my resident services LOL
I kinda suck at designing things and I need someone to help me design my island to look nice. Please dm :3
Im going to implode if i hit another invis hitbox from a fountain
Yeah i was thinking of the fountain.... I was gonna put flowers around it
I guess not 😂
Ooof
I guess I can see it being a limitation with the engine where everything just takes a certain number of squares and it doesn't matter if there's actually nothing there
I wish the camera was a bit more dynamic for that purpose alone.
The fences also can be a pain! I really hope that patch the hitboxes alittle. I dont mind not being able to place things in the corners of a fountain but atleast let be walk past it!
I am in Southern Hemisphere
Actually, I dont mind the square hitboxes as much as the lack of diagonal pathing
Diagonal paths would be so great
Thats the one thing that really drives me up the wall rofl
Oh man
LF: JEREMIAH OR POPPY FT: NMT + 3 MIL BELLS
When we can do that with rivers and cliffs, really makes you want to be able to do it with paths too
Ive been trying to do nice looking flowing p\aths for the medieval thing and it is a PAIN!
LF: JEREMIAH OR POPPY FT: NMT + 3 MIL BELLS
@hexed pond #villager-trade
Wrong channel bud
oops wrong channel
No worries 🙂
i wasnt looking lmao im on my phone
Posted this last night, but resident services is right behind this lil hill thing and if someone’s on the square (like for events) you can’t see them.
The problem with dynamic camera, they probably didnt model the back lol and we would have less stuff
Yes! The diagonal waterfalls makes you scratch your head when you see you cant make diagonal paths
Whoa! i love that island!!!
Wait can you make diagonal waterfalls
I kinda suck at designing things and I need someone to help me design my island to look nice. Please help ;-;
I would help if i wasnt garbo myself sorry man!
8am
Yeah, I didn’t quite think it through cause I expected the camera to like... ignore that hill?
But no. No it doesn’t. When there’s an event or someone at the plaza, I can only see their foreheads.
Yeah I have my orchard behind a hill and like, finding those fruits is a minigame in itself 😂

LOL!
You just need to use your imagination camera
For sure lol
If you could see that from first person, I'm sure it would be neat
Dang thats amazing!@
Oh I love that! I have a reading nook too but it’s a lot less cute haha
Mine shine the beat at night lol
First and second floor.
DUDE
Thats freaking adorable
I can't put books outside, they'd get wet!
When can i book a flight
I need to invest in that technology
Lol
If your museums are badass plz show them off I need inspo
Mines in the middle of a lake
Sadly I’m only showing off the highlights of trash island. The rest is questionable.
Up a tier, surrounded by waterfalls
All the cute stuff’s on the right.
that’s a lot of water
i see
That is A LOT of water.
Was gunna do a full boardwalk
I kinda suck at designing things and I need someone to help me plan a design so my island looks nice. Please dm :3
I’m curious to see what that’s like in game. I find the map view to not really give a proper picture of what’s going on.
The path placement against water with the small gap ruined it
Any asia Islands here so i can get insparations?:3
i keep on seeing amazing pinterest islands so i keep spending millions of bells on rearranging homes, ect 😔
Mood.
Oh pinterest. I havent browsed that yet
what tags are people using on pinterest
I want tall bookshelves
Hey, I built a bridge yesterday and then realized right after I paid it off that it was off by one square
Noooo
Top 10 sadest moments @bright lily
Thats a mood and a half :/

i feel you
I gave Audie a fitting exterior with a dock leading to the ocean and I like it a lot
Nice colors
That actually looks like Audie made it
That’s so pretty
Yea palm trees did the trick lmao
@woven drift the fences randomizes every day #game-help-questions❓
Random
Does anyone have it 🥺
not here
the imperial fence?
Woah, you can plant palm trees on sand paths??
Yeah
Yea you can, only needs 1 tile too
I know right! I learned that here some time ago and I was so happy
Tried making a yin and yang pond. Lmk what y’all think.
looks cool! needs to be more circular tho
You can put full grown palm trees on grass too
My dream has always been planting palm trees elsewhere in the town and I was so sad I couldn't plop them down on the grass... But then someone told me about the sand paths working and I was hyped
Ik. Didn’t think it be this hard. 😅
You can't put them on grass unless they changed that in an update?
I certainly tried it early on
Anyone have suggestions on what I can do in this area?qwq I though maybe an onsen or cafe but too small space, and it's close to central area of map
cafe sounds nice @brazen lagoon
Maybe a tiny café, just some chairs and tables and a stall...
Oh I thought I've seen someone put a full grown on grass
Maybe there was a sand path under it haha
Probably a tile of sand underneath you can't really see when the tree is fully grown
@brazen lagoon looks like a great are for some bamboo
Also if you're not feeling that rock, you sure can break it...
question: what are the rules for what counts as a river vs. pond?
The mushroom furniture can only be obtained through pocket camp right
Thanks y'all I think I'll try a cafe
I actually think a cafe would look really good there @brazen lagoon
Ponds definitely can't connect to a waterfall or the river mouth
anyone have any tips on getting new inspiration on how to decorate an island? i have lost all inspiration i had and can't remember the ideas i had before :/
As for their length, haven't tested
The mushroom furniture can only be obtained through pocket camp right
@hard flicker mushroom furniture is a diy recipe
Pond needs to be large enough for fish to spawn too
they need to be 4 blocks wide @chrome trellis
Alright ty
I just watch some Youtube videos Shagros
Looking at neat nature photos is cool too
Or neat whatever photos
Anyone have a island I can go to and get inspiration from? Just DM me if so
@sleek gulch i am saving all cool ideas I come across (because Im forgetful at)
i started with a 3x3 pond and made it longer, and it seemed to turn into a river
is a 4-block wide body of water always a pond, no matter how long it is?
i was looking for the #map-showcase, it has now been renamed oooh
@brazen lagoon i really need to do that lol
does anyone have some museum enterance layout pics i can get insperation form pls?
^ please
ima do waterfalls and a like a path in water into it
lmao
my museum's entrance is off tho 😦 coz stairs is a 2 and museum is a 5, will that be fine?
Tank can suck it
@rose apex
yea yea
tank is one of my fav i want
He was one of my starters
it might trigger some OC people here lol
lmao
np,the fact that the museum is 7 blocks and 3 are the stairs is an oof
fancy
so you did 1 stairs and 2 fossils near it
side:
I'd usually go for a 2 stair entrance to a museum
i thought to do a fossil with waterfall behind it and 2 stairs on the sode
but damn that looks good
and there's another full fossil on the right side as well
oh i like the sides
To anyone who saw the last pic, is this better or worse? I can’t tell at this point.
havnt tought about doing something like that
wish i took a better pic but i made this today.. took like 3 hours till i was happy

@ivory salmon the museum isnt centered😐
@woven drift
SEE, this is what I was talking about lmao
people will get triggered hahaha
@ivory salmon thnx i had something similer in mind on the stair area ill dm u if u want if i finish that tommarow
The earth part looks too small compared to the water @tepid topaz
yeah its at an odd number of tiles isnt it
I'm renovating my island tho, and I won't put any stairs. It'll be at ground floor
hmm maybe try a path outlining instead of water?
cause i have a 3 wide path going to my museum
you would put a brindge or just a fancy enterance?
I hear ya @pliant hazel
@rose apex I have other ideas in mind. I think those stairs and that kind of entrances is pretty common now 😦
@tepid topaz Do you want it to look good on the map or in person?
i mean most ppl do stairs and fossils near enterance
Finished my café!
i mean most ppl do stairs and fossils near enterance
@rose apex yea, i might do mine differently
i thought of making the campsite as a part of a "digging area" to find fossils near the museum @ivory salmon
@tulip cliff It's pretty nice since you can do a path from the airport which is docking to the plaza
@oblique cliff that looks incredible, and now i’m very jealous
i thought of making the campsite as a part of a "digging area" to find fossils near the museum @ivory salmon
@rose apex that's an awesome idea!
Excellent, thanks for the feedback. I was depressed for a while cause I thought that the airport was too close to the townhall x.x
thnx i have somthing in mind cant wait to make it tommaorw
I really love these
anybody have a market area i can see for inspiration?
hope i have time to finish it
ive put 2 in front of my museum
might make it in theme of that fence to be unique
i hope we can customize fences -_-
i need help making this look more like a board walk
custom flooring, wood
how many inclines can you have?
made a little starbucks café thing 
@past cloud 8
boardwalk kinda needs wood, it's in the name lol
Oh phew ok thanks!
Can anyone give me their dodo code? I need insparation for my island.
@tepid topaz I think it looks better
I kinda suck at designing things and I need someone to help me plan a design so my island looks nice. Please dm :3
I'm also looking to check out others island if anyone has their island open ^^
idk what path to use for the residential area for my eventual foresty theme island
oof idm letting ppl come but my island isnt finished
@tepid topaz Do you want it to look good on the map or in person?
@pliant hazel both ideally
I hate my island
^ same
@solemn kestrel mood
My island smoke house
i want more space
Thanks @brazen lagoon
@tepid topaz ah that might be kinda hard then
trashman have you tried getting rid of the outside water for ur pond?
but with the outside path lining it might work though
i would love a green or baby pink simple wooden fences
Finished my café!
@oblique cliff what flooring pattern is that?!
In person over map tho lol @pliant hazel
Ooo
tbh that looks pretty dope @solar rain
and a black imperial fence
@lethal thunder it’s not much yet but this is the start of my market !
@tepid topaz true haha
i wish log stakes counted as a fencing, cuz its the only natural looking thing
^
i wish log stakes counted as a fencing, cuz its the only natural looking thing
@delicate juniper ha, trueee
I don't ever use Log Stakes
im trying to go for a natural theme
Oo
I mean there's that spiked one that's made out of logs xD
what paths are you using @delicate juniper
I wish the island was bigger
There's that one style of fencing that looks pretty similar to the log stakes and it's pretty cute, do you also hate that one?
Ooo
im using the light dirt path
has anyone got any cute bus stop type areas ? I really wanna make one 🥺
I tried putting some path around the water part but couldn’t go around it fully. So I swapped for flowers. Better or worse? 😅
I can't comprehend the cuteness @woven drift
@woven drift that is so CUTE! ❤️
You can wangjangle with the river tool a bit to get your grassy areas to be diagonal, Trashman
That would probably look better - and I'd move the single block one square right
I wanna do that for my villagers too but I'm not nearly ready
I think it looked better without the flowers @tepid topaz
Does anyone have some inspo for a tiered residential area? Mine is looking so flat without depth
use cliffs
I remember seeing one with a nice river down the middle of a residential area but I can't seem to find it
Hi guys :’)
I kinda suck at designing things and I need someone to help me plan a design so my island looks nice. Please dm :3
hi, i was just hoping for some idea suggestions, i want my island to have a theme of secret government experiments done there. i am planning to leave most of it as nature with only a few parts having scientific equipment type stuff. right now my favorite part is that ive caught ~50 fish and stacked up their tanks in one area, so its like test subject storage. besides that i got satellite dishes, solar panels, caution signs, a generator. ive only been playing for a week so i dont have much items yet, the only other ideas i have are to make a helicopter landing pad, orchard with biohazard signs, maybe some sort of alien stuff. if any ideas come to mind that fit this theme, please let me know, thanks 😄
there was an attempt
Looking someone to help me design my island willing to pay in 5 NMT and/or Bells, everything I do with island I’m not happy with so any help or if someone wants to take over to help me out please dm me
Is the river too thick? I tried staying at a width of 4-5 Blocks
Forgot to attach the image the first time lol
What do y'all think of the tiles I designed for my public swimming pool? I think the green meshes with the grass well, making it look less like grass and more like a nice border
Check out my cafe! 🌸☺️
They look awesome, I wish I could design things as good as that @round storm
Ahhhh thank you!!
Omg that’s awesome
Idk what to say it's just perfect @heady sable
Love the double diner counter @heady sable
Reee
Does the game include gates? It's honestly so sad that I seemingly can't put a gate on my fences
Check out my cafe! 🌸☺️
@heady sable this is seriously awesome
Ooh, that's pretty neat
But I think the bottom part for the water could be a little bigger. Probably just me 
ideas for beachside cafe?
Embrace the edge? 😅
But I think the bottom part for the water could be a little bigger. Probably just me
@woven drift
Yea I was thinking the same. Took me an hour to get this right. Lol
Does the game have gates? Gates would seriously improve my fencing lol
It's um kinda edgy? @tepid topaz
@pliant hazel improvement? Lol
I liked it the way it was before the flowers best
Omg I would love gates!!!!
hi, may i ask how wide is the bridge and is it able to put the bridge on a wide 2 river?
I could hard with gates
we need bushes back before gates
True
EXACTLY
But like, even we do get bushes, you already know we won't be able to place them in places we should, such as on the edge of water or bunched up close together
Trueee
oh true that will make me cry a few times ngl. but we will find a way!
@oblique cliff may i ask how you got those edges on the wooden flooring??? it looks amazing!!
They also need to fix everything about how paths work lmao. No diagonal?
I didn't think of bushes but that is so tue
@lost hollow here :))
https://twitter.com/mr_kasuy/status/1247097366026440705
ok lastttt. :’)
also the fact that u can kick up the custom paths when u place them with the terrain tool. disgustang
thank you sm!!
IT REALLY IS
eeee wtf how are yalls islands so prettyyyyy
LIKE I WAS SO HYPED
TOM NOOK WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS
lol
That little con artist
I JUST WANT TO PICK UP A FLOWER PLEASE ISABELLE NOT MY ROCKS
Hey guys? Any of you know the dimensions of the town hall+it’s little plaza area?
I JUST WANNA COVER UP A HOLE WITHOUT PICKING A FLOWER
TRUe
@primal ginkgo pins
@round storm you can press A instead to hide the holes!! When you’re around the flower
Or I just want to stand directly in front of the rocks so I can get all its goodies without having to fear I move out of place ever so slightly
does anyone have any tips on how to amke island layouts flow and not barren
off topic but there needs to be a way of not using your powerups and choosing when to use them. i forget and break all my fucking rocks
You just gotta poop
It’s not on pins
LOL
oH I FORGOT ABOUT THE POO
Just waist it on a tree and replace
I know but I don't want to waste them either
Pun intended?
How do I get the wand to change my outfits?
waste the fruit
Look out behind you oh my gosh
moments before death
I officially hit 300 hours 😭
Aliens created Stonehenge
Top ten haunting images taken moments before death
HOW I have like 160 hours
pictures taken moments before disaster
How do I get the wand to change my outfits?
anyone want to share their nooks shop area?
I officially hit 300 hours 😭
@regal jasper do you have a picture/video of the actual island
looking for inspiration
You know what I want? This.
Celest will give u one or there are other recipes u can find in balloons or bottles
Is this in the game?
SAAMEE
PLEASE
what do you guys think of my bamboo festival ?
Yes
🤲
SUCH A CLASSIC PIECE OF FURNITURE THO
Final?
How is the famous picnic table NOT in the game?
It would work so well
LIKE EVERY PARK EVER HAS ONE
can someone teach me how the hell to make an island look nice
EVERY BEACH, PARK, AND TRAIL
LOL
they are gonna make us pay for it in a dlc bet
Probs
Nonono don't even give them ideas
uhoh 🤭
Let's get them to do the small fixes first
Yeah that's better, maybe make it a little rounder? @tepid topaz
Small fixes such as
YES
this is the last video i made but my place has been upgraded way more since
It was cute the first time
The pond or the symbol? Or both. Lol @pliant hazel
and maybe not starting all over because you've missclicked ONCE @round storm
small fix, dont make our residents pretend to move out.
@jade hound What? explain
^
It will never get old watching him be all embarrassed when u clap for him tho
@tepid topaz The symbol but maybe the pond too
@solar acorn
There is a glitch rn that makes it so randomly someone who moved from another island will literally disappear, leave an empty lot. but they will still be on your island map n stuff
My Island Layout, Red dots are rocks, and blue sections are hybrid flowering areas ! Helps me know what rocks ive hit or which plants ive watered!
If I try to round off the edges of the symbol it loses its shape entirely. I try to make the pond rounder and it just keeps getting bigger. I can’t win. I’ll see what I can do lol. @pliant hazel
it would be nice to rotate buildings so they're sideways
is this a nice area?? I honestly dk LOL
cosy
I just wanna move em slightly without it being the most horrible process ever
wait Marshall is a guy
He was in my eyes haha
@burnt mortar yesss i love him 🥺
Gimmiee

omg wait he's smug ofc he's a guy
Duhhhh lolol
11 @pliant hazel
are there no female villagers with smug personalities?
Olivia
Olivia was a BITCH
Sahara is also a guy. Though, because he has long eyelashes, they simply changed him to female when localizing outside Japan. They probably thought a guy with long eyelashes would confuse kids or something dumb like that lol
personalities are gender locked @solar acorn
WAIT WHAT PAN..
Yep.
Crazy
Maybe try this? Idk @tepid topaz
personalities are gender locked @solar acorn
@jade spade I only thought that was Jock and uchi but I guess I'm wrong
Me when a company accidentally turns a character trans: laughing in trans
😂 @round storm
Wasn't there another character that had the same thing happen?
pretty sure gracie and pave are both guys in japan and maybe us too? cant remember
Who's Pave?
festivale mascot I think
Oooooh okay
i'm sure he'll be back 
That’s exactly what I have rn. Lol @pliant hazel
my island atm :)) just for inspo, pls give improvement tips!
oops idk how videos play on here
Ah yeah, it was Gracie I was thinking of. Original name was grace and was a dude
Gracie and Saharah are male in the Japanese version, they were picked to be changed into females because of so many special NPCs being male in the Gamecube game - and Gracie was probably changed to make her easier to introduce to an American audience back in the day...
@woven drift cuuuuute. Can we see your map as well?
hi would anyone be willing to help me sketch out a terraform plan for the right side of my island? (the big cliff) it feels really flat right now. im thinking of making like a little valley type area to put houses and my museum surrounded by cliffs/waterfalls but idk how to do that without making things look cramped or awkward. even just some ideas would be appreciated ♥️
yep! no problem @gritty coral
Blanca also got a mysterious gender change from male to female when localized
For very much the same reason
@woven drift your houses are spaced out sooo nicely!
@brazen lagoon Late, but I made a cafe in something similar.
Let me fetch a pic real quick.
I guess my last pic is final product. Thanks for the help, I’m sure the pond will grow on me. @pliant hazel
@gritty coral awh thankyou🥺 i saw something similar on pinterest and really liked it so i tried it out!
Anyone got a five star island I can come see to get inspiration?
5 stars don't mean much design-wise.
AC: has you paying off debt, talking about infrastructure, and playing the stock market.
Nintendo: yeah that's fine for kids they'll understand.
AC: male character with eyelashes
Nintendo (localization): oh my god we have to remove this. Think of the children. This is too confusing for their young, fragile minds.
You can just plop down a certain # of items, trees and plants, and get it.
That’s true. Just I need inspiration for my island
im stuck on 3 stars so im working alot to try raise it :((
to get 5 stars you need, 60 pieces of furniture outside, at least 200 fences, and just upgraded shops and trees and yeah
Oh really? thanks so much!!
No problem, that's probably the best you can do in this game @tepid topaz
no prob!
You don't need to upgrade the Cranny for the 5 stars, but you def need to have both Cranny and Able Sisters for it.
200 fences? Oh my gosh
saw this on insta and found it super cute!
haha i have about 100 fences right now oh god-
i have like.. 2
because i want a natural theme and none of the fences look natural so i use log stakes
finished my outdoor arcade! quite happy w it
Oo yea i dont really have a theme-
its so hard to pick what u wanna do for ur island cuz theres so many good ideas and i want them all ~
@native mirage oh my god your islands amazing!
That's the small cafe I'm working on. It's this lil corner, so it's surrounded by a wall of water all around.
i made a bunch of brick fences and then i realized they look bad so i had to remake them all
@woven drift tysm!!!!
also i am stealing those cliffs for the walls of my cafe area
my islands not spaced out too well-
@native mirage what website did you use to covert btw? haha sorry the vids just rlly high quality
Can I visit someone’s 5 star island for inspiration? I’m struggling 😭
@woven drift i just uploaded a recording to twitter and then used the twitter video downloader
is it weird to put a house in the beach? because audies house is tropical themed and i didnt have space so shes kinda jus there ;-;
@arctic mantle omg your island seems so nice qwq
@delicate juniper nah its cute!
I'm a bit obsessed with plopping down little restaurants everywhere, so they abound haha. Thank you!
ive used up all my 8 inclines awh :((
i only have 2 inclines rn
Same :c
and this games fandoms just so sweet, like yall are all so kind
I only have 1 incline lmao
same
I used two for my house, is the issue... but I refuse to change that LOL
i have like 1 smol cliff so
i mean i used three for my museum entrance and 4 for my house so-
bruh i want island designer sooooooo bad
it rlly tests ur patience lmao
bro how long have u been playing
me?
i accidentally time travelled a month instead of 1 hour and got the designer app :((
@meager seal yeaa
uhh
Haha that’s hilarious
😔 i mean i wanted it but not so soon
idk
I accidentally travelled after my first star shower q-q ...
i can never get large star fragments ugh
i buy them from ppl...
Here’s what the other three restaurants look like. Have previously shown the book coffeehouse before but it’s low-key my pride and joy.
so expensive tho ;-; 500k per
They feel very basic, but I'm not quite done yet and just tweak lil things here and there every day.
i saw this earlier and have no idea what the hell was going on-
@arctic mantle Amazing !!!
@arctic mantle stop flexing :((
awh ur cafes are adorbs 🥺
looking at other ppls island make my anxiety go thru the roof
@woven drift that must be fake? Or is it possible?
The highest natural price for turnips is 800
@delicate juniper I feel the exact same way tbh.
It's hacked
And yeah that's from a modified switch.
Jesus...
I did one of those once, so much money
my island needs a miracle.., its so ugly
Every time I post anything here I remind people that I'm obvi only showing the highlights, not the garbo mess that's the rest of my island.
Plus I have 'uwu' in my map so it doesn't get uglier than that lbr.
my island name is owo..

this chat is to flex your cute little stuff you added that makes people want too copy your whole island you worked hard on
It's right there so people flying in can bask in the glory of the uwu.
uwu
need inspo
can’t think of anything i wanna add
@echo sparrow my entire island is legit just pinterest things
lmao
might just have to do that
pintrest insta yt ^^
Does anyone have an island i can tour
does it bother anyone else that the museum isn't an even length
its fine if u dont put stairs right in the center, i did 2 stairs on the side
yeah that's what i did as well
my ocd coulndt handle it
@woven drift do you have a board ? >.<
I did two stairs on the side before just scrapping the idea and throwing the museum in a corner where I didn't have to look at it. 
yess
@brazen lagoon awh not atm im so sorry 🥺
im uploading some stuff to pinterest atm aha
Here's my main hub/neighborhood
this is my trading booth
this channel is honestly a godsend, it has given me a lot of inspiration
i want those park benches
thanks!!! @arctic mantle
I don't have spare DIYs, but I'm happy to craft anything if people provide the mats.
Ye if you see anything in my screenshots and whatnot that you'd like that's a DIY, I for sure have it and would love to craft it if you provide the mats.
Since most of it uses wood and I'm always out... cause I use so much 
my recent painting does not match my age at all
cedar
Cedar sapling in the nook shop
this is what i have for the beginning of my island so far. i’ve been lacking in creativity but i was able to muster this up.
i know that i’m still missing the rest of the blue/white roses to cover up the fountain area and the flowers to outline the path as well as some more decoration near the museum/able sisters are, but i was hoping for some feedback
❤️
^^same
felt that
WHERE DO I SIGN TELL ME WHERE
SATAN TAKE ME JUST HELP MY UNCREATIVE SELF MAKE A DECENT LOOKIN ISLAND 😭😭😭😭😭
Omg I'm finally done with the circle
