@woven drift yes please dm the code🥺
Okay! Gimme a sec
😰
first day of terra, went a little overboard and too hardcore
@dapper ginkgo I hope my internet connection is stable enough for it, otherwise I'll make a vid
@woven drift it’s ok! Either is fine
@umbral arch don’t you think everything is squeezed in one place a little?😰 like there’s a campsite right when you come out of the airport
@dapper ginkgo yeap havent moved anything yet HAHAHAHA just started today 😂 removed ALL THE LEVELS
I'm worried how you're gonna catch all the river fish lol
the river still works fine!!
Anybody know anything that would work well for like a NYC themed neighborhood? I've got the utility pole and a lot of brick fencing and trash cans but thats about it
apparently as long as its a loooong stream its still flowing, that stretch has all the river fishes!
Also phone booth and benches of course
I have this big area here; any ideas on what i could do?
paging doctor tortol
Kinda hate how the stairs don’t align with the house. Should I remove the bridge and put two stairs instead. Or just keep it how it is
2 stairs is 1/4 of your entire stair allowance
ur house will never be aligned with the stairs i think
so is it worth it?
You could just move it to the right a little or the left and say screw alignment
patiently waiting for bridges/inclines to demolish and buildings to move, then create a bunch of grand waterfall inclines (can’t TT)
i kinda like this pathing
look at the door, it will either be on the left stair or right stair, it cant never be in the center
@floral ruin idk if u know but just incase u can only have max 8 inclines and 8 bridges
ooh @dense heart is there a QR code for both the white and the surrounding brown
it hella screwed me over for my original island layout
yeah!
the same guy made it all i’ll pm
Very true will probably be easier to just keep it then. Annoying how they don’t line up
ooh i might have to take out one of the grand waterfall inclines bc each require two inclines
and i have 3 planned
Im looking for inspiration for an orchard
Or put the incline horizontally and don't worry about alignment
fruit tree farm
Or do a switch back if you wanna get fancy
Or do what @heavy summit did and put the stairs behind the house
right so i have this entire chunk of land above my house. west houses fruit trees. east is my museum and campsite. i was thinking a park, but i’m not sure how to transition into it. any ideas?
the path to the left that looks unfinished it basically the end of my fruit trees. the part that is barely going north
How many spaces did you give your villagers' yards? I'm worried that 3 wide X 5 deep is too small
me?
Oo not much bc mines all in a small area
Anyone really
I gave my villagers moats
imagine giving ur villager space
I like the idea of giving them gardens or trees
@heavy summit LMAO WHY A JAIL
cause its a prison island
this is one lil bit on my islandd
guards-
god i love your island
What should i do in this area?
Didn’t really measure how much space but this is the amount I gave my villagers
Maybe a little garden?
@fringe vessel cafe, hybrid flowers, heart shaped pond, garden
thank you
Hmm, maybe ill make a garden with a heart shaped pond inside
@dapper ginkgo looks great!
put an explicit shape pond
You’re welcome! I have a toooooon of empty space on my island so I’m here for inspiration haha
@past perch thank u c:
horizontal houses doesn’t seem nice since all doors are forward
@harsh plinth So start by getting rid of the back rivers and go from there? And I sort of have an idea of what I want; I defo want an orchard and a themed campgrounds area, the two shops next to eachother, and a movie studio themed spot
i wish we could turn houses
What flowers look the most tropical?
@dense heart maybe a pretty bench? Or arrange some stone stools in a pretty way and see if it looks more complete?
any orange!
@dreamy cliff I tried that for a few houses before deciding against it. it does block the view of the houses unless you add like 4-5 blocks of space
i see
yeah I'm trying to go for orange, pink and yellow
i do have an imperial bench!
Maybe some red
thanks guys hmm i gota redesign then
i was gonna put each type of flower in its 5x5 grid to get the basic hybrids. but i’m not sure if it would look nice. i wanted it to be like central park with tons of stuff around, but i don’t know how to make it flow
It looks good so far ☺️
Jail island is sensory overload, I recommend a visit
Maybe look at pictures of Central Park for inspiration?
@dreamy cliff this might inspire you if you like that layout though https://www.reddit.com/r/ac_newhorizons/comments/fuvngx/residential_area_is_done/
i saw some and i’ve been there. but there’s a limit to what can be done in this game to what the city houses
also @patent sky i hope you didn’t separate villagers’ jail cells by color
does anyone wanna come over and give opinions/ideas for my island
@tiny copper That's just what I did. I think in general it's best to start terraforming furthest away from where your buildings are located, that way your progress isn't halted by moving issues
@barren swift it's not my island, it's @heavy summit , mine is the natural one with too many waterfalls
oof my b. too lazy to tag again
the water on the middle right looks like a face
did this get renamed from map showcase?
any ideas on fun furniture i can put into my garden?
@patent sky that looks amazing
@hidden kindle benches. table and chairs. garden ones
Im gonna open for tours in a little bit after I fix my pond and make it stop spawning river fish
Garden wagons are always nice too @hidden kindle
@hidden kindle maybe some beekeeper hives?
this set
@hidden kindle perhaps a flower sign?
the tables and chairs will take up too much room i think. i forgot about the garden wagons!! My villager gave me one on my second day playing, i thought it was a catalog item and sold it. lmao. i haven't been able to find a recipe since 😂
Cloud- I have a little bee hive area right above this
@hidden kindle also some garden lanterns and a swinging bench
ooh a sign could be cute too ! i just have so many pattern slots filled already
The iron garden table and chairs are 1 tile each I believe
omg so many good ideas everyone 😭 thank you
@harsh plinth Alrighty, I'll try that, thanks! And if I were to TT to move the houses, the best way would be to just advance the date?
Yes
i plan on placing my house on an area where its longer in length rather than longer than width. What decoration can I place to fill up the length? (It's long vertically)
I’m torn between putting fences on pavement or not, any suggestions?
pavement
I always prefer pavement
in my humble opinion
pavement
@elfin python garden with a single wide path leading to house?
it looks better on map too
Yeah that makes sense, ty!
It depends on the fence, rope fence looks weird on pavement imo
anyone wanna visit and give my blank space some suggestions?
really trying to figure out a central park theme
@barren swift here’s my park, i changed a good amount of stuff since this pic but it’s mostly accurate
i like that concept
my brain wasn’t using fences
my brain kept thinking it would all just somehow blend and connect
same with no paths kinda
your island king!! do what makes most sense to you 💛
Not that spacious. Any suggestions on what I can add here to optimize what I have?
BIG BRAIN JUST HAPPENED
did some slight clearing for my galaxy diner and i’m content
omggg that's so gooood
maybe i’ll connect the top left water and the west waterfalls by the museum. to make it not feel like too much land
Just sharing a double rainbow and my bistro
omggg that's beautifull
this is why i hate reddit bc now i think my island looks like crap lmao
Sameeee
❤️❤️
Mine is crap too, don’t worry.
@barren swift mood
oh you’ll love my basement hold on
lol idk i think there’s something really cute and nice about islands that aren’t 100% full out done
my island isn't even closeeee
@dense heart why haven't I been to your island yet?
djdkdk it’s not done yet!!! i still have to do roalds outdoor gym and beach side cafe
rip whoever tried to send more than 2 images
oof
my island looks like trash compared to ya'lllllllll
you can only send 2 images?
same my island is dog trash
same
I'm sorry @barren swift but I can't unsee your meuseum logo as a really....hung....owl
my only good area is my diner which I honestly copied
I can't unsee it now @outer pawn
Diana's working the Café ❤️
Blathers is packing I guess
@real vessel how do u get the cakes to look like that
Dying of laughter over here now xD
Finally, my island doesn't look like trash.
@woven drift they're hats someone made.
could ihave the design
@real vessel really sorry to be bother but what is that item that the hat cakes are resting on?
That's a 1000 IQ right there @real vessel
It looks like it's just cakes being presented
I can't comprehend tah they're hats omg
I think it's an iron cupboard
@indigo sierra They're on an Ironwood Cupboard.
@woven drift I have to find the qrs again let me look.
okay
i wanted a diner but didn’t wana copy paste the one i saw so i just mady it space them and killed two birds with one stone
My villagers homes are kinda spread out right now do u guys think it’s worth it in the long run to move them all to be organized?????
i’m def wayyy more proud of my house than island rn
here’s my garden cafe !
@past perch oh that looks pretty good
thanks!
it uses so many incline though lol
omgg that looks amazing
Made mine into a semi-amusement park on the side
is there any tips to make completely clearing out your island easier?
Nope lol
@past cloud turn on some netflix and zone out lol
Just terraform like there's no tomorrow
It looks somewhat decent?
lmaoo ok
im so bad at terraforming tho i stood there for 5 minutes jsut building and destorying the same cliff lmao
UGH lol same, I had to look online for ideas
Do you guys put your villagers on flat land or level 1-2 land
flat boii
I put mine on flat land for now
My mountain lake island
Nice!
terraforming is really tough
how do people make their map look so nice damn
lmao right
I wanna restart my whole island seeing that omg @primal parcel
step 1: no life 😆
@idle dagger what are those items on the tables called?
me too LLOL
i just uploaded a video of my finished residential area 🙂 still working on decor but i am completely done with the layout! https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1251605634421673984
I'm still tweaking decor, but I wanted to give a tour of my cozy and personalized residential area :) #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/hkU24fTwrS
they’re called coffee cups! @indigo sierra
once i finish roalds place (bottom left) she will be COMPLETE
oMl
wow that’s such a cool island
Snivy is better
terraforming is like real life lmao, takes forever, puts you in huge debt, and you end up getting somethin u just end up getting bored of lmao
MY ISLAND SUCKS 😦
@pliant hazel now-
I just want people to see that you can make some cool stuff with terraforming
xD @dense heart
Better than Tepig or whatever his name was @pliant hazel @dense heart
Got a 10 x 16 square , want to make a cafe place but don't know what to put in, if anyone got idea i'll take it 🙂
@idle dagger thats so cute! Did you buy them from the nooks?
Snivy is top, hate to break it to ya @novel pebble @dense heart
I have no idea what to put in this area. (Marked area) I wanna go for a urban design for my island and 2 level stuff mixed with ground level (Nooks cranny can be moved)
@indigo sierra yup! they’re a catalog item and they’re pretty cheap iirc
@pliant hazel I agree, however I respect all opinions except for the people who think Tepig is the best. Then again, Tepig IS better than Litten xD
@primal parcel I love this so much.
I wish I didn't think in squares. I can't make something like this without being like "but it's not symmetrical" lmao.
How did you guys measure your spaces? Digging holes?
I'm completely against fire type starters, always overrated, anyways, Oshawott fits to the island because of the water lol
Oshawott! Very nice reference
@pliant hazel Torchic, Cyndaquil, and Chimchar are good imo. Rest fire types are meh. Fuck Litten. Massive disappointment
Idk what to do with my plaza my goal today is to work on getting it mostly done
@idle dagger Could I buy some from you? If not its totally fine, thanks for sharing the inspo anyway!
@real vessel give in to the nature xD
Litten broke my heart when he evolved into a body builder
^^^^
@indigo sierra sure! I’ll have to order some from my catalog
Nobody answers my question 
Litten so cute shudders and then the fire nation was attacked
^^^^^
Also @indigo gale do you have an orchid? I personally have a bee farm and an outdoor washing (for clothing lol) area. Maybe that helps?
Oooo yeah
Here's my place. Mostly done but got some spots that need filling.
If you guys have anything ground/2th level builds lemme know
**Why am i making another double waterfall lmfao
double water falls are cute
Everyone has a yard on my island.
^^^
I have some
only villagers i like
i gave them a front yard
get luxuries
is that generous enough
can someone help me what to put here?
that’s why oliver lives on the beach. alone
@real vessel can I see a pic of your setup for Nooks and Ables?
airport entrance + raymond’s house
A secret bbq/beach area!!! @woven drift
i love the snow
i originally had it for genji but swapped them out... the area fit genji so much better haha
Raymonds overrated Wait, did you TT for the snow?
no shit lmao
marshal is gonna have the king of the island spot ^_^ whenever i get around to it ~
yes i did, i wanted to make sure the decor looked ok in snow / all seasons @novel pebble
@woven drift Are those two diff sizes of nova lights? Also how do you keep people from stealing your large star frags
Looks amazing btw
Thats...actually brilliant @woven drift
those are large star fragments + nova lights, and tbh i just got lucky so far i’m sure eventually some jerk will come over and steal some lol
i am the king of my island
just disconnect if u find someone stealing em
@primal ginkgo Able's
WHY DO MY VILLAGERS ALWAYS DECIDE TO SIT EXACTLY WHERE I NEED TO TERRAFORM
i am your new God bow down to me you small villagers
@primal ginkgo Nook boyes
Thank you! Love it <3
Are nova lights 1x1?
IMMA HAVE TO MOVE ALL MY VILLAGERS HOUSES.
❤️
I SAID BOW DOWN TO ME ! i am new God !!!
OH MY GOOD LORD, I RLLY WANNA DO IT sigh, curse me and my creativity
@harsh plinth yes
Are nova lights 1x1?
@harsh plinth i believe so, i have them on 1x1 squares
is it a packed Blathers? @woven drift
Alright, ty!
Wdym?
why are you all not bowing down to me
nvm
i mad now
Why don't villagers sit in the BENCHES and not in front of them? Nintendo AI team pls
I wanna have my house be in the middle like its own island in an island thing. Should i do a heart or star shape?
bows down
i have to move all of my fricken villagers houses
@pliant hazel yess !!! i like that ! you get a suprise
I HATE MY LIFE
yesss omg xD
AND IM GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD 10 STAIRS
Me too
WHAT DID I DO TO MYSELF
@woven driftyou can't lol
OH, WELL 2 THEN
yeah lol, i was gonna have stairs for every villager
Oohhh okay
but now im just gonna have 2 rows
@pliant hazel tell your villagers to bow down to you
guys I need some help. I have one pathway going straight up to my museum and I realized that no matter if I move the museum to the left or right itll be uneven with the door way. How should I fix this cause it bothers me slightly?
make the pathway bigger
anyone have any ideas on how to organize fruit trees
or go up the side
Welp, im going to have something to do over spring break now
how? I'm not worth of being treated as godly as you are @spring plume
I hate when it doesn’t align right in the middle 😤
Do ya'll use custom paths
Yeah cause I have stairs since its on the 3rd level so if I do a wider pathway it wont be even with the stairs
Guys, how big is each villager house
check pinned messages @woven drift
oh k
I think 5x5
4x4
Hmm so doublestair like together or on each side?
Okay, that's fine.
And the store is 7x5
Oooh okay
@woven drift I use them really sparingly because they don't make footfall noises and it personally freaks me out
I would love to see the outside of everyone’s museums... i am struggling with designing what i want it to look like. I know a lot of people put it on the third tier, but I have mine on the second with small waterfalls coming down on either side
Ugh I used the expensive ones like the stone ; v ; So I could mess around with terraforming
How far apart are your stairs with the museum?
Do you mean between the stairs or between museum and stairs?
5 blocks then
okay so...
I am the 1 in 10 who didn't put his museum on a hill @pale thorn lol
Okay I'm gonna redesign my whole museum now xD
So u placed them on the first and last hole?
jk jk
should i move them farther apart?
wow so gooood
I made 5 in the middle and place the 2 stairs on the side
so one block of each fair is in front of the museum
@pale thorn
I need... THE EGYPT THING
I thought your legs were something else
@real vessel I like it! I think i like the second tier, because like you did, you can put stuff up above and i looks nice. My original idea was to put a stargazing area on the tier above and right behind the museum. i guess I’m hesitant because the little terraforming I’ve done so far has left me unhappy with my choices
but hmm okay okay
LMAO sorry I'm curled up and didn't wanna move
Mine is also on first story, my entire town is lowkey and natural so I didn't want to do a grand entrance
Youre good I was just like is that a booty then I was like nah legs and I really like yours. I tried to kinda do a bit grand on the third story but have simple design
@patent sky your entire map looks really well designed!
guys i wanna change so much but no idea how to arrange my villager houses🥺
Yeah I really like my scalloped path, I think it fits into the rest of the atmosphere well without looking out of place
@pale thorn ty! I might open for tours after audie gets her butt off the last square of this pond I need to finish
Im now debating if I destroy my stairs and slowly make money for them again now or teraform a lot and buy more >:I This is hard when youre broke
https://twitter.com/cloudfellbs/status/1251615558371471360?s=21 this is my museum area
thats so niiiice
is there any way to get custom paths to make the clack clack sound
custom paths have no sound. it's why i don't use them lol
haven’t made the last incline yet bc I need money lol
@idle dagger love the two bridges facing each other!
@real vessel same!!
I heard if the paths are transparent they'll make sound if overlaid on a game path but idk
Hi all, I'm very very bad at designing things. Can anyone suggest where I could start with this? I'm currently paralysed by choice.
is there anyway i could see where some of you guys placed your shops? need inspiration ''
they don't, sadly. @patent sky
@pale thorn thank you!! I did that because I wanted to take up as little space as possible on the first tier
i need inspiration for a residential area 🥺
Any entrance ideas when you’re plaza is like RIGHT by the airport? Idk what to put there and it’s honestly stressing me out lol
same!!! @severe parcel
@modern sierra put your houses in the hills but that's just me that personally hates neighborhoods lol
same @severe parcel my airport is one tile off from being centered with my plaza and they’re both too close to each other to hide it
i want to finally start decorating, unsure where to start. any suggestions?
@severe parcel I'm the same! Look at the screenshot I just posted, I'm considering restarting tbh
i still don’t know what to do about it hhhh
I screwed up my residential area and want to redo the whole thing, so don’t ask me about that part lol
@modern sierra I’m way too many hours deep in this, I really wanna restart but I spent so much time already 😔
same
I use a tool before I started moving stuff to help me plan
I messed mine up too I have 3 houses in a line and the third house is one tile too forward it’s so annoying
I had a fountain there originally but it looked dumb and I already have 2 fountains down
@idle dagger I saw someone do a cool thing with a dock that opened to the left which was the main path to town hall
my airport is 6 squares from the Plaza
@patent sky oh that’s sounds interesting! do you know where I can find a video or picture of this by any chance?
I had such a nice map but now destroyed it,, on the right i want the residential area to be aaaand my shops are gonna go on top (from the museum until the place where the camping place still is) aaand wanna make the river look more natural again
i have literally been trying to figure out what entrance to do all day bc of how close my airport and plaza are but at least other ppl know the struggle lol
I have the two rivers that empty into the bottom if the map and regret my choice of it every day
Hi can anyone who has their house on a cliff share a pic? Need some inspiration
What have y’all done with your secret beach?
@sand yarrow I hate my entrance, I hate it so much
6 squares is all I have to work with
Stupid airport is slightly off and I have a lot of empty spaces I don’t know what to do with. I need to move my house too since there isn’t enough room to put trees around the moat like I thought
the struggle is real
Ive seen people do arcades
class has started
going to do one small tour if anyone wants to stop by my mountain island! lots of WIP areas but maybe you will get inspired for your island 🙂 also very open to feedback on some of my weird/blank areas haha
@idle dagger it might be from Raj's island idk why I can't tag him rn
@heavy summit lmao if you wanna catalog a homework set for the desks I can give you one
@patent sky ah okay
i got one already
I’m in the process of making a cliff shop area but I’m worried it’s going to block the stuff behind it
Will weed your island for tips 🙂 DM me!
its being used by doctor tortol
AUDIE PLSSSSS
FELT
push her into the river
I hate it when villagers keep following me everywhere when I’m terraforming
bon bon im talking to you 🗿
I accidentally trapped Ankha once
I was making a huge cliff area and Diana was walking around. I was about to trap her bc it was so annoying lol
took a look at my actual map and realized... different path patterns don’t show as different patterns :/ it looks awful from the map view
yep lol
@severe parcel I have a cliff shop area if you want to stop by and see how it impacts the area behind it
Does someone know anything i can put in this area? (No cafe pls xd)
a cafe
I just ignore the map view tbh, a lot of things that look good ingame look bad on the map and vice-versa
xD
a cafe
anyone wanna visit my island while i go afk and play with my cat, rosie is crafting small cardboard boxes diy, while my store is selling cardboard boxes
a cafe with no coffee
nice great ideas guys
yw
Nah Idk really
a cafe but it’s just water
im gonna do that because noone has a cafe
@hidden kindle yes! I really want to put it in a cliff but everything gets in the way of each other aaaa
I mean u could make it a tiny garden
Who's living there?
del
Who's that lol
Maybe a telephone booth and some bikes or something?
Looking for cliff house ideas plsss
does anyone have any birthday party layout ideas? my friend’s birthday is coming up and we can’t celebrate it in person, so I wanna make a little area on my island for her instead
I've thought about a personalized garden yk?
ideas? (i already have 2 breeding gardens and 1 normal garden, a pool area, cafe area, playground and small hangout areas ;-; )
yeah i dont have a garden thats actually a nice idea
Make a shrine
I built a shopping district with little stalls to take up lots of empty room
To... something
@arctic dock maybe make a little stall selling fruit?
i wanted to place a graveyard somewhere but not sure where.. this seems a little too close to villager houses to have a graveyard 😂
i do have a shopping area already sadly
I want to do that too!
should i move marshals house to the empty section and place the graveyard here?
This channel is so helpful omg
this is right by my orchard ^^
Finally I know what to do around Cocos and Lucky's houses lol @arctic dock
I think that’s a good idea @arctic dock
finally finished the robot hero set of 8 yesterday 
@modest mural how do you display them? they take up so much room haha
i have a huge area next to my entrance
@pliant hazel i gave my dreamie (wart jr) an entire little hangout 😂 he’s always sitting out here reading and looking into the river
how wide is an incline
that’s so gorgeous
an incline is 2 wide and 4 long
it will take up one tile on the upper tier I believe
kk ty
Behind my house that opened fence area is an incline leading up, should I center my house like this or something else? Give me opinions please!
Oh gosh that's cute @arctic dock
@elfin python i have a similar set up for my house and i centered it
I've wanted to do a cafe for my snooty ones like Astrid and Diana, and a playground for walker and Beau
and then put stone pathing everywhere inside the fence to create a plaza
I like centering things so it all stays symmetrical
And ofc a gym for Pierce
Ohh okay ty!
@arctic dock i love that!! ive been thinking about getting wart jr lol, hes so weird
@modest mural thats awesome
Behind my house that opened fence area is an incline leading up, should I center my house like this or something else? Give me opinions please!
@elfin python if it was me i’d put the house in the corner of the fencing and you could then give yourself a huge yard. flowers, a pond, hangout spot, maybe stepping stones leading up to your door, whatever you’d like
both styles look great imo
Okay ty!
@primal shoal my entire island is basically cliff houses
Does anyone have pics of a little market place they made with the stalls? I’m trying to do something like that but I don’t really have any ideas
thats so soft
Is Apollo cool? I've been thinking of bringing him to my island @patent sky
Usually I dont like Cranky ones
Apollo bullied two of my villagers
@pliant hazel I cannot live without Apollo to the point where I bought his $40 amiibo card
two types of ppl ^
it works the same, smh
@severe parcel
@woven drift I have both types of card (not two apollo tho) but he's a good childhood memory for me so I wanted the real one. Also it shipped faster
Oh, welp im just saying, don't waste a lot of fourty dollars
Working on a casino. It looks like too empty to me right now but idk what to add, suggestions greatly appreciated
I love gambling in animal crossing
Thank you! @patent sky
There are pool tables you could use to take up room
They added a ton of stuff to this game
I need alot of ideas for my empty island whoever helps me alot i am willing to pay bells for it
Can anyone send a pic of an entrance with a super close rs building?
Will weed your island for tips DM me!
I asked the same thing a bit ago too, it sucks having the building RIGHT there
I tried thw waterfall thing but like it looked so sad with 3 tiles of waterfall lmao
Yep same :/
Anybody have some epic ideas for the able sisters shop?
Immediate banger ty luv
oo wait can u have hills in front of the plaza?
Is there like a metal table in the game that matches the open frame kitchen?
or does that mess stuff up
Like a surgical table type thing
Yah you can @past cloud
Maybe try to expand the shop to the outside? @grizzled hinge
@next egret i would add some fences that add to the aesthetic
Like putting some clothes outside and making it look like it's a part of the shop
and maybe a custom design floor that looks like casino carpeting
Can I visit one of you guys island? 😂 cuz people posting here are people with good islands and I want to see some pretty stuff
Oooo I like that too @pliant hazel ur a beast
WHAT IF SOMEONE WANTED TO BUILD STAIRS TO EVERY VILLAGERS HOUSE HMM?
Thanks haha
HMMM NINTENDO? HMMM?
Okay, that's just my little rant, hope you enjoyed lmfao, or not
I mean you can clump some of them together
Yeah
Like if you have two jocks, you canbuild one gym
nO
yeah I kinda wish there were 10 inclines instead of 8 because I really love messing with cliffs
Please
I want everyone to have their ownn little backyard
😭
Well that sucks then
ikr
Ugh im just gonna have to put a stair in the middle
of each row
And each villagers house is like 10x5
(including backyard)
Oh damn okay
mHMM
@next egret Sorry I'm late to the party, BUT the items you get from the Pocket Camp app are fantastic for the casino area you're creating
Starbucks opened up their first location on my island
omg that's adorablee
Caribou is better. That's so cool!!!
Do you guys think I could fit all the villagers houses in the area I rectangled or would it probably be too squished?
IF you did 2 rows probs
that would probably be too squished
but i think it'd be two squished if only 1
Too squished probably
Is it worth it in the long run moving all of the villagers houses close by each other because i might do it. Just curious if it’s worth the wait
Hmm okay I’m not sure what to put in that area and I actually don’t think I want my house there.
Oh damn
lmao yeah ty
I’m glad I’m not the only one with straight rivers
XDD
Idk how to make them natural looking
I just kept the rivers
lmao
It be like that sometimes
TOO BAD, IM NOT BUILDING STAIRS JUST FOR YOU, pfft who do u think i am, a millionare?
Free her
xD @woven drift
(i actually am, just can't cause of stupid nintendo's rules)
I’ve spent so much on terraforming
nO
50k but
I’ve spent at least 10h on terraforming and I’m still not satisfied with my island
is she your least fav villager or something lol
Same
Might renew everything AGAIN
No, im just starting my layout for my villagers
SAME
AAAAh
i felt that
yeah that's tough
I’ve practically moved every house and some more than once
The struggle... and you keep seeing these amazing island layouts and you wanna copy em
^^^
@modest kernel mood
you just gotta commit lol
lmao, i try not to look at others, i want mine to be unique but im failing so yah
I think what’s good about the game is your island will transform as you think of changes/get new items/updates
I feel amazing knowing I’m not the only one struggling so hard
im not struggling pfft, im failing, get on my level
i love how we all are having the same struggles
AHAHAH mooood
animal crossing is a relaxing game
me: BULLSHIT
xD
BASICALLY
Yup
animal crossing is the lego of video games
tru dat
I’m just happy I have enough money to move everything
Oh my god don’t even get me started on the hatred you feel when you don’t catch a fish
and terraforming is like WHEN UR TRYING TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER BUT THEY WON'T STICK
God path making is so tedious in this game
LMAO
^^^
Inspired campsite!
OOOH
Omg this is so cute
Excuse me
ik the amount of times i had to completely redo a section bc it was one or two tiles off is ridiculous
That’s amazing
one question: HOW
Just gonna yoink some of your ideas there
why can't we have a dynamite tool that destroys a big area like in minecraft
Lol same
Does anyone know how to build the inclines that look like they are built into the cliff as opposed to jutting out? Saw some tutorials awhile back but now can't find them.
Anyone have a neighborhood setup they can send me a pic of? Can’t figure out how to start mine out or the dimensions of each neighbors fenced in land
@modest mural it’s kinda hard to see but I have rope fences. Do you think a different kind would be better?
Just a lil som som
Omg i Love the villagers idea
@woven drift I didn’t 😭
I want a residential area like that
@next egret yeah i think a solid wall instead of a fence would make the casino seem a lot more enclosed
like the zen walls look really good but im not sure if it fits w the rest of your island
You could use simple panels
I was thinking about the panels
I wish I had a waters mouth on the side instead of both being at the bottom
hmmmm
Here’s my layout so far, spot the turtle 😝
Dang u have the perf villager line up
heheehhee, wait till you see mine
I miss coco :(
You're hacking most definitely, how does it look so good and you villagers JUSZ EVERYTHING
Yeah, like i don't believe these people for a second they did this themselves, it's too good for humanity
I need advice for design, my island is a mess
Same
i can't wait until my marshal amiibo card arrives and i can finally kick out rocket
I have tons of empty space I have no clue what to do with
you mean sprocket?
I had to move my islander houses like 20 times
3... 2.. 1...
entrance ideas?
Rocket the pink gorilla
this is the first time
rocket launched
Ohhhhh, ew gross gorillas
hey louie is such a good character
2 houses down, 8 to go
I hate all the gorillas and monkey designs
he's just donkey kong animal crossing style
saame
Eagles are the best
excuse me, ducks are the best
damn your island is better than my future
GO MOOLLY AND KETCHUP
I like the deers...
i think we can all agree that smug type villagers are the best
no, chickens
okay so i have a question and i need yalls opinions
@modest muralfacts
Yah?
I’m going to say cats are the best only cause of Snake and Genji
Would anybody be willing to come to my island to help me figure out wth to do with it lmaoo
DOOD @heady sable THAT'S ILLEGAL STOP THAT
When you start terraforming and can’t stop 😩 lol
Hahaha
oh my good lord
@heady sable THAT WAS YOURS? So you're really hacking I see
Ommmgggg @heady sable
I think thats a bit too much buddy
I am not hacking omg I got inspired by youtuber hahaha
i’m making an area like with the teacup ride and some games and i used a pastel brick path (from custom designs) should i use a stone bridge or zen bridge to go across the water
How are people decorating their plazas, like with fences or?
I’d say zen
I need inspiration where do you find it 😭
here
i would also say zen
okay thanks
stone bridges really only look good w stone paths
facts
yess
LF a 4-5 star island to visit! Will tip bells😊
damn what r u a youtube channel?
my island dropped to a 2 star after i took down a ton of trees and flowers for terraforming
Lmao
@modest mural saaaame omg
my island's a "five star" but it's not. idk how it is
maybe i just bombed it with flowers
the criteria is really weird
like i feel like having all 8 robot heroes would count for something
@primal shoal my entire island is basically cliff houses
@patent sky ahhh I love this layout!!
Ikr? I feel like I'll never get 5
guy can you show me how you made the area around ur shops?🥺
I added more fencing and it boosted my rating
okya so what was really weird was, i had a four star, then i time traveled to december and it just became a five star? like whatt????
My island is 4 stars and I don’t even know what to do now
that's weird you would think it would drop from weeds growing @woven drift
Yeah ikr
Ohhh I was gna do that but worried how itd look. Now that Ik it can work, I shall be making myself a cute lil salon @heady sable ! Thank you for sharing ^.^
If I sent a picture of my map do you think you guys could try to give me ideas of what to do with the empty space?
sure
Sure!
you can count on usss👍
The red spaces are basically useless to me rn lmaooo
why the hecc do i sound so cheesy
I’m so out of ideas of what to do to my island...
You could make a cafe, gym, fishing area, arcade, flower breeding garden
I’ve given up on doing anything to my island
I have a breeding area and I’m considering doing a diner and gym
what i did with the cliff top so far
do a more natural chaotic garden
I feel like that should fill up a pretty big chunk
But I feel like the fences look really stupid around everything
Nah
Outdoor arcade, flower garden, tiki bar, zen garden, outdoor gym
Does anyone have a 5 star island I can bust for inspiration?
But if I don’t have them Isabelle tells me to use more lmao
measuring diagonal rivers sucks
oh here we go, another youtube channel (lmao jkjk)
ok last 2 💕🌸
oh god, u big braining it
Danielle your island looks literally perfect
OML STOP IT DUDE, @heady sable 'S HACKING
JUSTAIGEAIENGALINGALNGK STOP MAKING EVERYONE FEEL LIKE GARBAGE

My simplistic brain can’t keep up with your creativity
^^^
It's wonderful Danielle haha
Like fr are you some kind of designer? like exterior designer lol
ikr
look at my before hahaha 😭
omg danielle thank you for the idea
My island is pretty basic, I haven't moved or demolished anything since I started. I did some light waterscaping to make a waterfall pond in B5-6 but other than that, pretty much nothing but paths. I wanna maintain a natural feel to my island (and keep it mostly authentic to the original cliffs/rivers layout) but I have no ideas of how to do that… can anyone help?
Basically I just look at YouTube and get inspired to do almost the same but of course adding some other cata 🙂
@median charm i actually like the paths a lot and would probably just plant a ton of evergreen trees along the paths
hmm i should do that
@heady sable I'm trying to do that but my island is still awful
to create like a big forest vibe ya know
Any 4-5 star island I can visit for some inspiration?
ahaha samee
@polar tiger whats ur youtube channel called? XD
can u please show ur shops guys?🥺🥺🥺 like what u pit around them and where u put them
@median charm you can try making little areas throughout your island that you'd find in a heavily wooded location like a wishing well spot or a picnic area
Looking for path change suggestions! Key points are to keep it pink/pink undertone
OH NO.
@median charm I’m doing a similar style! Sticking to mostly natural landscapes and very minimal terraforming.
i really like the natural style but also the urban chic style so im chopping my island in half to make things work
have no idea how its gonna turn out
@pliant hazel u need alot of time I spend like almost 5-6 days doing this
I’m gonna make the main part of my island where resident services is more urban and then go natural on the outer parts
i wish there were more shop buildings in the game
I don't even have time to start decorating yet I'm still at the cliffs etc aaaaaahhh
You can make accounts on your switch then turn those account houses into little restaurants
oh good idea @still junco thank you!
@pliant hazel everyone has their own pace!! dont get discouraged
Okay anyone have ideas for sporatic stump placement around the island? I want to place some here and there for bug spawns
how have i spent 170+ in animal crossing and my island looks worse than someone who has spent like 10 hours
im not discouraged, im just hungry
hahaha
but thanks haha
if you have the wild log bench diy recipe you can put it next to a stump to make it look like a fallen log @primal shoal
A picnic area around the stumps would look pretty and serve as bug spawns still
DOOD HOW DO U COME UP WITH THESE IDEAS
boi I'm at 310+ hours
skskskkks what
im at about 200 i think
@idle dagger ooooo I don’t but that’s a really good idea so I shall find recipe lol
lol i got the idea from reddit im not that original
oh lol but still
@primal shoal I’m putting log tables by mine to make a really natural picnic area
I’m about to quit animal crossing! I have no inspiration for my island or a vision of it. I constantly am changing my view on it and I can’t think of anything
@still junco that’s good too thanks guys!!
@indigo gale jsut go with the flow, don't think too much abt it
@indigo gale that's a mood
I have a love-hate relationship with this game
@woven drift
lmaoooo same kelp
Same
I reset my island cause I made mistakes that were too expensive the first time I played
thats amazing omg
@indigo gale I’m redoing mine for the 73626th time...but it’s fine. Keep at it you’ll find something you like eventually
Alright.
What are your guys favorite fences?
I wanna work for the entrance out
the soft wood one
Corral!!!
country
Imperial is the red fence right?
tysm this is amazing! @dapper ginkgo
Coming on here helped me a lot to find inspiration & ideas I liked
But I don’t know what to have as a entrance
Idk what I'm going to do with this top left area. Bottom left is an orchard and middle left is a robata restaurant.
@wooden patrol I like the corral fence
Zen fencing and bamboo lattice
Is it okay if i make a youtube video of my layout?
I’ve been using lattice fences but I’m starting to feel like it looks dumb lol
turn it into an evil witch meeting area
Anyone got pictures of airport entrances?
@hard kettle you could make a farm with dirt paths and a silo maybe?
Combining fencing adds depth to most builds
I just have a path leading to main plaza with bamboo trees lining it
@idle dagger how would I make a farm?
i think i just piss everyone off that comes to my island to trade cause i make them jump like 4 times lmfao
or a magical looking place with worn out stones and an old well if thats what youre into
@hard kettle what i did was i made a rectangle of dirt path and then i put turnips on it, then put a silo next to it, but im probably gonna change the dirt path and switch it to this farmland design i found online
its still very wip rn lol
I’m curious what birthdays do you all share with villagers?
Does anyone know any cool museum layouts
im sept 1st, idk
wolfgang is my birthday villager!
Mine is pietro lmao
OOP i share with violet
Had a question for you folks if that's okay.

I don't have spacee boi
Ugly villagers in one and your favorites in another
i wanna move every house on my island lmao
May you please post your map again?

I HAVE SPACE TO MAKE 2 NEIGHBORHOODS, BC WHEN I MOVE ALL MY HOUSES, I'LL HAVE THIS WHOLE EXTRA AREA
👏 👏 @woven drift nice!
I did 3 rows of 3 and one special one at the top lol
OMG @idle dagger YOU'RE MY SAVOUR
yes XD
@hidden kindle that’s really pretty
thank you! it has been a struggle 😂
@hidden kindle the rain goes so well with your island's vibe
Any ideas on what I can add to this?
Who have island south please
Anyone got town centre ideas?
@idle dagger agreed, i wish it was raining more but since it's summer i only get a few rainy days here and there haha
Dm me if you have pls
@pastel pike #690093605821480980
lets see if nook can build stairs and a house at the same time
He can
Excuse me
Thaks
can you only move one house at a time
dang
Stairs or Bridge can happen at the same time as a house move
@woven drift what's up??
i just hopped in here to see islands but i wanted to show a picture of mine really quick ><
I’m reseting my island in search of snake
@woven drift what do you need help with?
damn
@royal dock post it 😅👍🏻🎉
@hard kettle @idle dagger I'm struggling heavily with how to use my map properly. I really want this design I'm going to post, and I want help adapting it to my island
@primal ginkgo I did this
super gorgeous, but hard. i know the waterfalls cant be like that
oml did u make that?
And yes waterfalls can be like that
deja-vu on reddit
thats a really cool graphic
not me, it's deja vu haha
but i'd really like someone to help me adapt it.
I'd be totally willing to pay NMT or bells for help as well
That would be fun if someone else can go on your island and help terraform, but unfortunately can't
i need to figure out my villager area if anyone knows how to help with that 😅
well since you dont have a double south outlet you'll have to rearrange the waterfalls a bit
but i think its still doable!
@idle dagger any help would be great for making it on happy island designer
Gimme neighborhood names everyone, my island name is Sakura Bay
You can't move a river mouth to make the 2nd opening on the bottom middle but its doavle6
