ok
I’d love to do a really good horror themed island with a story and stuff but I also love my current sailor aesthetic lol
Can anyone let me do an Island Tour? Need some vision and motivation to start terraforming my island 😊
I miscounted and I did terraforming wrong and I have to start frommtje cerybbeginng
This? @fringe tinsel
From the very beginning*
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do with all this empty space? I was thinking a lil chill area but I’m scared lmao
if you don't like it you can always change it! nothing is set in stone! try it and see what happens!
yankee with no brim
Is indigo island from pokemon
@woven drift I know nothing about pokemon. I got the idea from a Frank Sinatra album
he has an album In The Wee Small Hours and a song called Mood Indigo.
Oh
It’s “Indigo League”
YES a wasp head model
I mixed it up smh
Haha I was thinking about orange islands
i hate bugs and i got it in a balloon and i dont want it, if someone doesnt want it i'll just sell it lol but i thought i'd offer
Can anyone who has a garden dedicated to hybrid breeding show me how they set theirs up? Mine is not aesthetically pleasing enough for me at the moment lol
Meee
@woven drift I can show u mine
yes please!
ok
Although wait these are outdated lmao. I finished growing some flowers
@woven drift ooo love that! So you have them in different areas of the island?
wait wait you can put bridges diagonally??
Is three wolves too much for one island?
I made a neat little thing
wait wait you can put bridges diagonally??
@finite cargo yup!!!
Nah @heady dew
@woven drift let me get a pic hold on
I have three lazy dogs lol
Rainy fish market, I should get the coolers like baby seal lol
@finite cargo thank you!!
@pliant hazel I can’t decide between Chief and Fang I like them both so much but idk if I want three wolves
@heady dew just get both haha
@woven drift WHY DO WE HAVE THE SAME ISLAND LOL
@patent sky this market looks legend- wait for it
dary

sorry but i'm cackling at that sunfish
I wanted to show off my flower heart 😅
poor baby in that tiny tank
GUYS does anyone have a cute zen garden i could see for inspo??
Need some inspo to my zen garden. Can people who have zen garden post some picture please ? 🙂
OMG y'all with these flower hearts -- that's so creative !!
Sooooo cute
literally obsessed with these hearts!!!
Heres my single heart. I spent three hours making a 2nd
I have small patches of each type. 2 of each color (dont have all colors yet)
i just have ocd from my house placing
Sorry I couldn't get very good pictures
Daniela wanna come over and get some of my flowers
im having a hard time incorporating trees anywhere... theres just never room
I have a lot and I'd love to give you 1 or 2 of each. I am missing only purple pansies
Anyone with this island layout have a good Entrance design? im having a hard time making a nice looking one, all of the designs i come up with require more space ;-;
@finite cargo ohhh thank you!
Daniela wanna come over and get some of my flowers
@woven drift thank you but I'm ok! I'd like to do it organically! I really do appreciate the offer though!
Celine you could check out mine?
@finite cargo ohhh thank you!
@woven drift Not covering large areas like other's but I keep them in nice patterns
That would be great!
Simple but fun!
Looking for an island which have shooting stars, to come and get some star fragments !
I'm so distressed that they have an american football, but no american football goal post. I have a sports complex area with soccer and football and golf and basketball but there isn't a goal post for the football :/
and a rock climbing all that you can see on the lower level
that's so niceee
Also I made custom paw paths that go in every direction and I have them posted at able sisters so if anyone wants my creator Id so you can use them, Is be happy to share!
ohhhh idk. I hope not. I doubt it tho since you can't move other furniture? I hate that you can kick them off tho. So frustrating when you try to pick something up, but destroy your path instead.
I have so many custom paths lol
Cause they really take up a lot of space
I realllllly wish there were more slots for custom designs. Not nearly enough.
ikr
I would do soooo many custom paths but I'm running out of room.
same fam
I wish you could at least purchase more or something. That would suck but at least the option would be there.
Yeah.
not holding my breath tho bc we still don't have cloud saves
its bs seaweed. nintendo is really dumb
just make sure you save the codes of every design you keep
Like hell im gonna do that lmao
wait. if you delete a design from your nookphone, will it still be in ables sisters?
damn good question, idk
like can you free up space by posting them to ables?
bc if so that would be a decent work around. as long as it doesn't delete from ables you'd be good.
still kinda salty, we should have another friend tier that can like terraform and create and destroy paths
^
Nintendo never listens to us,
never have never will
im just happy that we can choose where villagers move
yess
this is the only thing i have wanted and i have it
agreed seaweed
And you know what's gonna be a pain in the ass if you want paths to show up if you're using custom paths, YA HAVE TO PUT NORMAL PATHS THEN CUSTOM PATHS OVER THEM
Removing them is worse
ikr.
its a pain but it looks 😩 👌
No you don't. I have transparent custom paths placed on the ground without a normal path underneath?
it doesn't show up as path on the map tho
Yeah
And you always hae the edges then
OH yes. I see what you mean.
have*
Yes you are right there.
yeah ive been procrastinating doing that
I misunderstood what you meant.
my whole island has custom paths
Same
I've decided that im going to place normal paths down first and then custom paths ontop
SO THEY FUCKING SHOW UP ON THE GOD DAMN MAP 🙂
Thank you nintendo, really, thank you
also gotta put normal underneath if you want a sound when you walk
hahahaha let me know how it goes
i feel like they look infinitely better with a normal path underneath
im really wondering if friends can get rid of custom paths
i have custom pathing on top of normal pathing and it's still silent when i walk on it 😦
mhm.
It's so unsatisfying
nope
i did too but i tested it and it doesn't
Customs make a kind of splashy sound
i hate it
do u think there will ever be a chance of being able to terraform river mouths?
I HATE THAT YOU CAN KICK IT OFF I GET SO PISSED
Nope.
No
oh, that's sort of annoying
like great now I gotta open terraforming and fix it
at this point, im suprised if nintendo will even add more buildings
i wanted to go all out with a wild river design without river mouths but i guess not
i sure hope we get more buildings
lmao probs not within the next 2 years
nook's cranny and the able sisters are cool and all but a little bit of variety would be awesome
we hve all this space and you couldn't have just given flick a store or smth
Angus is crafting umbrella stand - TF 1 NTM - DM me if interested
wrong chat sir
Or kicks
oh yeah kicks
I just want the coffee shop back
dude I want kicks to have a shop
yah kicks would be awesome or maybe even an acrual cafe
OR SARAH
COFFEE SHOP COFFEE SHOP COFFEE SHOP
i wish you can edit designs that you didnt make
So many people build outdoor caffees anyway, lol
Yeah i have an outdoor cafe
Would make sense to have an actual building to go with it
yah but actually being able to buy drinks or food or smthn would be sweet
I have an outdoor diner
i just want the coffee shop back
^^^^^^
omg I just got uggs in game lmao "faux shearling boots" my villager will even be a basic bitch
lmao they sounds awesome
Tbh i want the coffee shop as a separate building ngl
what im wearing is uggs
Anyone giving island tours?
that's very pretty
i would've legit paid someone to do my paths
but nooo, ninentedo just gotta slap the stop button on that idea
nintendo is stupid but they got us all whipped
mhm/.
ANOTHER FLAW
CRAFTING MULTIPLE YES
I might just get rid of one of my custom paths tbh, too much work
I wish you could mass store things in your house instead of clicking 40 times. And store turnips
to summarise, this game needs some more efficiency in some aspects
@woven drift my thoughts exactly except im still attached to the one i picked out and it took me hourssss
This is just my opinion, but I think nintendo could've done such a better job with this game, it could've been turn into something great, but instead Nintendo just had to rush this game out and it's worse than what we wanted. like 7 years for this? I'm sorry but I expected better.
My desert theme.
What channel could I go in to find someone who could help me transfer some stuff to a new save file without stealing it?
Wdym a new save file?
No idea tbh, you shouldn’t really trust strangers
Ask one of the mods
yankee with no brim
I mean who else could I ask other then a stranger
Even though some might seem nice there’s always a chance they are a scammer
@finite cargo not possible to do myself
idk what to tell you then bro
@heady dew find a friend if at all possible. You'll likely lose your stuff
Wdym a new save file??
Ik this belongs in #happy-home-designs but I'm v proud of the spa in my upstairs
@somber zealot last time I made a new save I asked someone who I thought was my friend and they stole 800 tickets
that's beautiful
well you're outta luck them homie
can someone answer my question, what is a new save file
thanks kelp 🙂
Im redesigning my island but im having a hard time making a good entrance, all my ideas are way too big to fit. My residents services is far too close and off centre : (
@finite cargo you should grab the cloud flooring and put wood over it. Gives a steam effect/
I really don't know kelp
@woven drift a new save file is u just erase ur save data lol
oH, then why are people asking for other people to do it for them XD
@finite cargo you should grab the cloud flooring and put wood over it. Gives a steam effect/
@formal perch really?? wow! I'll see if I can get that! Awesome advice!!
@woven drift so I don’t lose all my stuff
OHHHHHHH
So you give all ur stuff to the other person
And then they give it back when u have restarted?
@woven drift I can’t find someone tho who won’t steal it
Just ask a moderator boi
@woven drift they won’t help me
I hate that the houses block everything. I have waterfalls behind them but they don’t even looks good. Can someone give me ideas?
You see the steam?
Then find a real life friend that plays animal crossing lmao
I mean, I would but idk if u trust me
Lmao friends imagine having some
@heady dew idk why you're asking here? try #game-help-questions❓
I got cloud flooring from the recycling bin XDDD
@woven drift dm me
I waz like HOLY SHIT
@formal perch do you know how to layer flower tho? how does that even work? i didn't know that was possible
flooring*
my lil dinky pizza area n market. ; w ;
I have no clue. @finite cargo I think you apply some wood custom design over the cloud flooring.
But no clue.
Hey can some people help me improve my island layout it looks like this atm?
It's a rug that you use
For the wood, it's called wooden deck rug I think, it's from saharah but you can catalog it
Idk why I've never posted this area
they look really nice
I'm trying to send a video but it won't seem to send. I wanted some opinions on my desert area of my island.
u can apply custom designs over stalls?
Pretty island lulu
Aah ty ^^ this is the first area I did actually
oh okay thanks
it looks really nice
Wont let me play the vid 😩
ahhh that area is so cute @patent sky 😭 the spacing is so nice
everything on my island is so cramped i hate it
i'm so bad at utilizing the space rip
I’m about to go broke trying to move around my villager’s houses
looove the desert theme @formal perch , that is so neat. i haven't seen that before
@fringe tinsel thank you!
I hate that the houses block everything. I have waterfalls behind them but they don’t even looks good. Can someone give me ideas?
@raven galleon put the waterfall on the side of the house so you can see them?
@indigo trellis I worked so hard on it hahaha.
There it goes. That's my desert theme. Can I get some opinions?
@formal perch that looks really neat! I didn't even know half those items are in the game!
I still need to incorporate some scorpion models to complete the desert theme.
@shadow flume thanks!
I have no clue how much wallpaper/floors are worth because I haven't designed my house.
I never know what things are worth
5-10
Thanks kelp!
I overpaid for mine, but I wanted it so badly 😛
yw
idk i never know what anything is worth either lmao. i've probably wildly overpaid for things before lol
I've wayyy overpaid for some black streetlamps because I can only order brown
Someone really wanted the cityscape wallpaper and gave me 25 nmt lmao
jfc i need to sell my cityscape wallpaper
Would anyone want to see my forest themed area? I still need to get mush lamps, but other than that, it's complete
I don't even want nmt.. why are they currency
Easiest way to get villigars you want
Just an agreed upon thing kevin. Idk.
they r currency cos ppl use them for trading for other stuff they want and going to rare islands
villagers*
It was somethjng that was just agreed upon.
@formal perch yes! That’s what I’m trying to make my whole island like. Give me inspiration!
And since bells are so easy to get a ton of
Alrighty! One sec.
Can you stack nmt?
Thinking of completely terraforming my island to make something like this. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?
.
idk why but the first thing I thought when I saw that map was "volcano" why? idk. but looks cool!
Lol thank you! I guess it kinda does look like a volcano
Says video is too big @raven galleon one second.
It’s hard trying to make an island where it’s somewhat even with a sibling.
What do people use to design their islands???
oh dang yeah that sucks kailoli!
i don't use anything because i'm dumb and like to wing it lmao
I'm stumped as to where to move my house once the Nooklings move to their new space :T
I was just using my art app to draw that out @raven galleon
A bit late but you can find someone who has Saharah with the cloud flooring for 1-3nmt
@oak flower looks nice, im just worried about the curved rivers and paths
Is anybody going for a Japanese theme of their island? I’d love to join and get a tour for some Inspo! I’ve hit a major mind block 🥴😫
they look hard to make in a grid-based system
Yeah. It’s gonna def take some time to get it right.
I've got a Japanese spa/zen garden section on my island
@unborn prawn your island layout is almost the same as mine, you just gave me a lot of inspiration lol
Yesterday I started my terraforming now that I have a design I want. Hopefully by May 1 I have it finished and all the buildings moved!
Way to go :>
I wish you the best of luck
Awesome! 👍🏼👍🏼
I miscounted and I ruined my whole terraforming so I’m legit so mad and I threw my switch on the floor lol
Trying to take it slowly.. do 1 map grid box per day
It sadly isn’t loading for me ;-;
it looks really cool!
My before and after :>
Oh nvm it finally loaded. It looks great
ur rivers are so natural, how
Wow awesome progress
Thanks guys!
Kelp, if you are asking me... I threw a few items on the ground and sculpted rivers around them
big brain i would've never thought of that
The little island near my clothes shop was entirely because of a rock and a clump of weeds
I’m putting my villagers with their themes. Raddle in the forest, Ankha and lucky in the desert, Pietro in the arcade, etc.
Awwww
That's cute ❤️
aww
My villagers have like a little yard
And I'm gonna customize it to their likings
Liek for merengue, imma have so many foods and cakes, etc.
Marshall has a fashion show in his yard Xd
xD
My villagers get no yard
Only a neat little path and slightly more than minimal space between their houses because I needed somewhere to dump my flowers
XDD
We stan a sassy squirrel boi
Off to get the cloud flooring! Ill let yall know how it turns out!
ok here’s my plan for my island what y’all think lol
ahaha
@solid linden Love It!
I like the island in the middle!
yeah the island is apart of my original map and i wanted to keep it cuz i thought it was super cute
Anybody has any idea for this island layout? I have a lack of inspiration :(
How many squirrels do everyone have?
I have 3 squirrels
Have you guys realized, when your friends have a villager in boxes, and you have space for a villager, there's a chance they might move to ur island
Yeah
Idk if I can do this or not since it’s technically not my islands but I found inspo on Pinterest and can screenshot and post them for ya
honestly i really like ur island layout !! but maybe you could make the big area smaller ??
You can do that
maybe make the back area residential n stuff !!
0 squirrels
anyone have a natural custom path? (Is this even the right channel?)
I don't like them
I have 3 squirrels
uhhhh am i supposed to have two moving kits cause i have one for the campsite and museum
maybe you tt and forgot to place one
and didn't realize anything was off until i plotted the museum and nothing was there
Hmmm but I think I did the campsite move this morning
Weird
welp booting it up
Alright here is some inspo that helped me with my design. Idk if it’ll help whoever needed inspo lol
hope my game isn't fucked
Anyone any idea what to put left besides the river? There will be really much space once I figure out how the river should flow. The round pathway is the marketplace, underneath is a café area, a beach bar is gonna be right besides the service center.
BEAUTIFUL
About to try to recreate this on my island brb
oml
has anyone done anything with their secret island?
wow i need help i have no creativity lol
I have.
Can anybody help get my island to 5 star so K.K slider can come?
everyone's is so good
I made something creepier than Sasquatch’s back
finished my museum after a miserable hour of demolishing and rebuilding inclines and the museum
only need 3 star for kk to come
Ya
ok my game was fine LMAO
@thin cradle you only need 3 star
The life of a flower farmer is TAXING
Ahh okay @fierce nest what’s a guaranteed way to do that?
Opinions on my moon shrine please , fyi still a work in progress
@icy oar I love the moon seats!
ima bitch, imma boss, im a bitch im a boss that shines like gloss
shut up, stop judging me
ok i just wish you can rotate your designs
@icy oar why do you wear a bag on your head?
I'm literally listening to that rn
XDD
Wait you really need a 5 star island? He came to mine at 3 stars
Who?
Santa
wtf, there's a santa in ac?
I was kidding
lmao ok
@rain kiln just for the hell of it 😂
There’s a special character for Santa, a reindeer. But I’m talking about kk slider
ohh no, kk comes in at 3 stars
Is anybody going for a Japanese theme of their island? I’d love to join and get a tour for some Inspo! I’ve hit a major mind block 🥴😫
Any of y’all got some cafe inspo?
@woven drift if you look for "island tours" on youtube you can also find a bunch of videos of japanese themed towns, it's the most common theme rly
Anyone with this island layout i can visit? Im struggling with my entrance and need some inspiration
Also, does anyone have a good layout for residential areas? As in houses in rows with little gardens?
I have 2 housing estates - left a biggish gap so I can put fences around each Josh’s and make a backyard for each villager ^^
oh damn
does anyone have a unique ampsite
Any of y’all got some cafe inspo?
@indigo sierra a clifftop cafe, have it overlooking on of the best areas in your town e.x have it overlook a garden or sum
go w the flow
I tried to go with the flow an I had to reset my town 4 times cause I got mad lol
Isalnd*
oof
i reset 3 times when i planned cuz it jus doesnt look like what i imagined
Island*
I have a plan but it’s very flexible
so i just go w the flow and try to build what im thinking
My brother and mom play ac with me so I don’t reset
Some yard inspiration for y’all! By mayor.carly on Instagram

Can I ask for some suggestions here?
I accidently planned it facing the wrong way, so the houses will really be facing forward not sideways... thoughts?
So a friend randomly gifted me 6 lawn chairs, and I wanted to make a little hangout area with it. What else do you guys think I should put?
@grim prism firepit in the center
I don’t know if I keep one space between the building like picture 1 or keep 3 spaces like pic 2. (Try to make a Britain style village)
i agree
I mean the space between the buildings
Yeah 3
I was having a mental breakdown yesterday cause i was changing the whole layout of my neighborhood
But now that it's done, I think it's pretty good.
As you can see, if keeping 3, one building has to be on the top of the service center
Just glad that I don't feel like shit anymore (well i am still shit)
Hmm, i say still 3
Because then you can customize little cute backyards and it'll make it more lively
Then just a whole row of houses XDD
@woven drift how does the redesign look??
what are you planning for the top left corner?
Should I place the shop in the middle or in the top or the middle
@spark ridge top is already planned like this
it looks ok
I might nuke mine tbh...
Or move the store, tailor, and museum down and the orchard&cafe up.
okay i have decided, I'm not going to use my custom qr path for my rural area
@woven drift keeping the store in the middle?
this is what i did for yards, idk how to post mulitple images at once so sorry for the mini spam
Mhm
I love it!!!
The climbing wall seems a bit out of place
its a jock villager
Ik, maybe a different color?
are there different colors for the wall?
Yah
Yeah
let me check if its customizable
I'm pretty sure u can try customizing it
Dang does every one of your villagers have yards that big?
That’s a very cute layout, how many houses are in a row? Also you can only customize craftable items
My yards are like 4x2 XD
yea, i posted my town map earlier but here it is again(left is the oldest image i could find and right is the most recent)
they aren't very large
so I can't customize one of my spinning wheel things from the catalog?
my villagers share like a 2x3 with their neighbor
That's seems cute
You all have such lovely islands!
ikr^^
I like the idea of every villager having their own yard but I’m terrible at spacing things out
they each have their own flower colors that wrap around their fences and a bit of the house
i think each acre is about 12 spaces
has anyone put their campsite around waterfalls
i have my house around major waterfalls
Nope
that long strip of water reaching to my house is double waterfalls
can i see
I have a waterfall at the sides of the stairs leading up to my flower breeding area and my house
I hate the sound of waterfalls
wow chair!!
Any ideas on what I should do for Boone’s house?
i have 300+ hours in the game and my island has gone through 2 major constructions lol
Oh i really like how you utilized your map space chair
Sorry for such the bad view
thank you
I love the idea of having two separate resident areas but my island layout is too awkward for that
https://twitter.com/InsertChair/status/1247997052669136896?s=20 this is what that structure is next to my house waterfalls
I have my "chill beach" neighborhood, and my "upperclass" neighborhood lmfao
I totally stereotyped my villagers for it
HAH
lmao
I really want some hangout areas but I’m not sure what to put
That's what I was feeling yesterday leah XD
I already have a little riverside cafe
anyone else with a 5 star island tired of hearing "well now what are you gonna do? You finished the game." like nah man I'm always changing things and making it better. Its never done.
if you go through my twitter you can find a lot of what ive done with my island
SAME
YOU DON'T FINISH ANIMAL CROSSING. ANIMAL CROSSING FINISHES YOU.
@finite cargo omg samme
IT'S SO EASY GETTING A 5 STAR ISLAND, I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE LIKE A 2 STAR
Should I do two pinks or one pink one white
my brain hurts from thinking
ALL U HAVE TO DO IS GET A 5 STAR IS PLANT A SHIT LOAD OF FENCES, FLOWERS, AND TREES
IT'S SO EASY GETTING A 5 STAR ISLAND, I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE LIKE A 2 STAR
@woven drift YES HONESTLY
double pink
bender did you put your town hall behind waterfalls?
\or just a lake
Yea I do find it a bit weird how people are always asking to visit 5 star islands and such. your island can look like crap and be 5 star if you just spam furniture fences and flowers
@dull cypress Thank you
i have two islands >> <<
RIGHT? And all 5 star are sooooo different. There are infinite ways to get 5 stars.
i want to have 2 islands
ikr
Actually well constructed island can’t have 5 stars
switch + switch lite
@dull cypress everyone does lmao
Your spaces are all gone
yea it's not like the game can actually tell if your island is aesthetically pleasing. that's why I could never get into happy home designer too
i barely have 325 hours ingame, i would have more but school removed like 50 hours from that
idk my island is 5 stars and I think it looks nice. I wasn't going for 5 stars really it just happened
wtf how
@queen nexus no my museum is
My map s basically starter and its 5 star. I don't like terraforming a ton to make it unrealistic. They're pretty don't get me wrong, but I'm going for a natural look on my island.
i have only 190 hours
I have 330+ hours lol
its called having a litteral no life
Just hit 400hrs
260
The only major thing I terraformed was a bit of my orchard so I could fit peaches in
Yeah I'm laid off rn so I can play allllll day
320 lol
my town hall has water around it
@finite cargo Same tbh
ya'll are crazzyy
im a student and quarantine said fuck school
I'm very glad nh came out when it did. A week before I was laid off.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EV_tkaAVcAAsLVh?format=jpg&name=large i'm trying to work out what i want to accomplish with the shop landmarks and museum on my 2nd map lmao
Does anyone have some cute hangout area inspo?
i like that
I can try to send a video in a bit breakfast kid. Not sure its exactly the kind of inspo you want but maybe
wow youre second town is really coming along
that’s my museum
i remember when it had nothing in it
lol yeah
thats kinda like what i did with my house
i'm aiming for like a europe town vibe i think. or something.
Other than cafe areas
I’m have a cute forest area near my campsite and there’s a lake thingy that connects to the river with a waterfall and I’m gonna put a bench there. If you don’t get me look at the top left corner. Near the water I’ll put a bench lol
I regret choosing a town with my plaza super close to the airport :(
you can only have 8 inclines i think
yeah gonna have to remove some of those inclines
omg that's so much waterfalls lmao
Can I post a link to my ac twitter account so yall can watch the video? Or are links not allowed in this chat?
I regret choosing a town with my plaza super close to the airport :(
@indigo sierra that’s why I had to reset the 3rd and 4th time lol
But I feel 1st is more natural
i like how you designed your river with the double south it's more clever
guys what furniture should i put in zuckers yard, i need ideas
@indigo sierra I hope later on we can move rs and the airport
the fish reward item
oml XD
fish rack.
Anyone have any type of zen garden i can get some ideas from?
I don't put furniture in my villagers yards they're too small and it'd look ugly and cramped ugh
@dull cypress 1st looks cooler than second
no my zen garden sucks ass rn
Anyone know what to put in an isolated little area?
@pale silo it looks cooler but it litterally had no space for furniture so it looked bland ingame but looks good on map
but whatever so here ya go
anybody wanna come to my isle and give me some design ideas
https://twitter.com/island_indigo/status/1251982649595437065?s=19 heres a link to a vid of my island. Not sure if links are allowed, so I'll delete it if they arent!
@woven drift whats that bed item you got there?
thats a poolside bed @heady verge
Yeah
my island map... 👉👈
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD HUNNY
who should be proud?
alex
This is my current island map
or everyone else in this server
thank uuu 🥺
I should sleep soon- but instead I’m freaking out over animal crossing
nooo I hate when I destroy my flowers by running
I just thought nb stood for neighborhood haha I'm stupid
i love the sound tho
thank you
Is anyone working on a more natural island layout?
i once dreamed about my island is the actual shape of poop and everyone else's was like god level and i was just crying in a corner of my poop shaped island
that's my reality
Just looking to see more natural less industrialized designs
oh lmao my reality is worse
I need something to like unite the upper and lower class neighborhoods on my island. I need some sort of hangout in the area between them so they can meet and mingle. Just don't know what yet.
anyone have a spa area?
@woven drift took me a while to find but this is what i did with bamboo trees
i havent seen a lot of natural layouts but i did come across this yesterday :o @primal parcel https://twitter.com/honeycrossing_/status/1250623484901949441?s=20
You should make it 3-tier the the second tier is like a middleground
haha I see what you did there
Has anyone done or seen anything with putting the 2 shops really close to each other and kinda out front near the airport? I wanna put a little dedicated shopping area with tables and stuff to give the shops their own little flair (like putting the loom near the tailor and stuff like vending machines or some seating near Nook's.) but I don't want it to be cramped.
ommg that's incredible
Oh i like!
I perfected my old island and started over
Im thinking of doing a canyon theme now im just trying to get a better feel in my head
Of the river and etc.
why is everyone hacking in this game
how do u even hack
^^
^^
@fierce dune thats so cute and unique!!! im glad you like it!
i'm convinced that people are hacking bc their island is so good.
Please do not discuss hacking in this server. 
IT'S CALLED A JOKE LMFAO
no cussing either
no filter, the rain just made it look nice
sorry! wont happen again
Does anyone happen to have a “desert” area on their island with pyramid and Sphinx that they could pm me a photo of.
No, people can curse XD
I’m looking for inspiration

It's pinned there I think
Did you guys use a map editor to plan out ur map or just kind of winged it? I’m lost on what to do 😫
i tried using an online map editor but it was too stressful so i just ended up drawing it on paper haha
i had to make a couple revisions but yea
map editor lol im terrible at winging it
First I winged it and didn't like it so I restarted
But honestly a map editor would had helped out a TON
broooooo, LET ME TELL YOU I USED WINDOWS PAINT LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
but some ppl do rlly well just going w the flow so tbh just do what feels right
then I planned it, while building it I disliked it and restarted again
now I'm doing kinda both
@pliant hazel story of my life 😔
love that song
What fence do you think goes best with white and pink? Like a more cutesy fence?
@dull cypress LMAO well its better than nothing??? the scribbles rlly make it a masterpiece
lattice?
i winged it my first island theme, but the theme didnt fit me so i used paint as a new
i mean it worked, i have a 5 star island and some poeple call it good lmao
why am I not finding the white simple fencing that was shown in one of the trailers for the game? I can't customize my fence either. Is that someone you need to wait for sable to do?
show pics ?? 👀
i think the lattice fence goes good with a cutesy vibe
i dont think they have that in the game
^

Wait there was a white fence in the traile
Now I need the DIY
yeah idk why they didnt put it in
and they have the audacity to not put fence customization in
can anyone with both their river mouths at the south post their layout pls? :3c
that's straight up bullying
okay I'm done, Nintendo is mean
I really want the white fence. Like so bad
GOING TO REDO AND START COMPLETELY OVER.... having little space between the airport and plaza is horrible
ok good luck!
They might add it in a future update
I wish my airport was straight ahead I was thinking about restarting just because of that
I hope they do
GOING TO REDO AND START COMPLETELY OVER.... having little space between the airport and plaza is horrible
@hard kettle pay someone nmt to keep your items
Okay so current island vs an idea i had. Then someone said the villager homes look nice where they are and I'm so lost now ;-; pls someone help me figure out where to put shops v homes. I hate the double South openings for the narrow sides
everyone hates their airport placement and im just lucky i chose an island that was double bottom river(i was looking for that) and the town hall was wayy over
I have too much control and its killing me
Close airport does suck
Where did you guys get that standing sign that you can customize with custom designs?
its a crafting recipe
The simple panel?
I seee thank you @dull cypress
i think she means the signpost
Oooh
my map is funky
How did you get the pathing?
I’m too lazy to cut down wood
That’s too far for me
yeah its so far away
waitt i think it is the simple panel
I have the signpost recipe that's an arrow pointing somewhere
i havent chopped wood, caught fish, hit rocks, dug fossils, and did very little catching bugs since april 1st(3rd really) aka bunny era
There's the simple panel and then there's also the wooden shop sign
the simple panel is a board looking thing that is one space wide and 2 spaces tall, the wooden shop sign(mixed the names) is one high
the panel can put 1 design two different times while the shop sign in just one design one time
^that is the shop sign
That's the shop sign
Is anybody going for a Japanese theme of their island? I’d love to join and get a tour for some Inspo! I’ve hit a major mind block 🥴😫
Why does the default shop sign have a cat on it lmao
Yanii, just search some videos up
you

@crimson light you know you can't get these manys golden item "naturally"
I have not seen anyone is doing a british theme
@pale silo I just saw that a few minutes ago.
🅰🆆🅷
idk what theme im doing
Pop forgot to fix my font smh
@pale silo I just saw that a few minutes ago.
@woven drift ??? do you have a link?:
@pale silo nah it was a YouTube video
@pale silo I'm going for a small village theme, mostly inspo by a tiny Welsh town. Largely a lot of cobble paths and bridges
i have like a rural, suburban, and urban area
feel like British town is pretty crowded
what fence type should i put around my beaches
Really excited about my little “cozy corner” 😋
omg did kelp actually make an area that she likes....???
i need those table ;-;
i can make em
giant bears secured
ahahahahaha that's hilarous
Do you guys know if there are decorating consultants on here or something like that
Somebody please talk me out of completely redesigning my town 🤦🏻♀️
no
i’m only good at decorating themes / full area sets
redesign part by part imo, otherwise it’s overwhelming
To be honest I only just opened the full resident services and realised I want to completely redo my island-
oop
big brain redirected the river to a fall besides my house and removed all fences around it for what will be black and red flowers
anyone's able sisters selling diner outfits
Like I have a very structured but not city environment and I want it to be more overgrown forest Aesthetic that I’ve seen since I’m such a perfectionist, I think it’d be nice to go against my own ocd
my mini map went from this to this in about 6 days of terraforming and moving stuff around, doing it slowly kept my sanity
Oh wow 😳
Stacks of wood for you please visit 1FRNT with something fancy like bells, nmt, or roses and gold tools something neat
@heavy badge wrong chat sir
my disdain for ‘straight line’ orchards got the better of me
the next big project i need to work on after my maps is celeste items lol
Ugh I know lol
i will never be done with this game
doing one small tour if anyone else wants to join
@queen nexus with about i’d say 4M you can collect the majority of her good items
Eeeee I love when rivers create islands in the middle!
@hidden kindle I'd love to join
@hidden kindle i would too
ok, thats all for now but if there is more interest i can do another one later
does anyone else have an island where their airport is super far away from their resident services? the island i started with is like this and i'm really struggling to find a way to cohesively connect the entrance to the resident services. it's starting to drive me crazy.
my rs is rlly fair from airport @patent wolf
Make a nice plaza straight up from the airport maybe with the shops at the back and connect it with a path going left to RS
Paige, what is this website called?
oop i gotta stalk up on bells again
every design i try ends up with a bunch of dead space between the two, idk if it's my lack of furniture or creativity but i kind of wish my airport led right into rs : (
running low, only got like 11mil
i used https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/ @modest comet
This is my map @patent wolf
That’s low!? I’m dirt poor lol and thank you !!!
Or do a branching diagonal with RS on left and museum on right
does it sound like a good or bad idea to have each bridge you cross represent a different area / zone with a different pathing ? 
no every section of my island has its own type of flowers and its own aesthetic
i won't put all the paths, but at least like 4 or 5 differents zones for my groups of 2 villagers
@patent wolf my airport is very far from resident services, basically like yours but resident services is on the right side. I just created a waterfall entrance to a "downtown area" which includes resident services
is there a channel for visiting other people’s islands for inspiration? just locked terraforming and would like to see some fun islands!
I've figured out a way to make a one-way door for flowing traffic if anyone is interested
Nobody has lattice fence 🥺 I’m gonna go bury myself
@lunar jewel #690093605821480980
youtube videos are great for inspo
tomorrow i'll work on the marina / zucker octopus area

@lunar jewel tbh tagbacktv is rlly good
Make sure you have enough villagers

Simple panels work pretty well for signs

Lights would be cool tbh
omfg Benjamin is finally moving

now I can finally start decoring the area around his house
Where can i find good entrances?
thanks! @pliant hazel @woven drift
Isn't there any Designer here I'm frickin losing my mind over Terraforming
that's a mood
that's a big one
It's been one 2 weeks and I still don't know where to put my house the heck
My entrance so far. Still feels like it needs a little something more, but I'm happy with it!
am I the only one without a designated entrance? You just... step off the dock at the airport right into town.....
all of ur islands are so cute and i'm sitting here with nothing and no inspiration
My entrance so far. Still feels like it needs a little something more, but I'm happy with it!
@quasi tartan it's so cute!! Well done
@hidden kindle Thank you! 🙂
@finite cargo Nothing wrong with not having a designated entrance! I just had a bit of dead space to fill since my resident services is pretty darn close to the airport 🙂
@quasi tartan I love the apples trees
@finite cargo Nothing wrong with not having a designated entrance! I just had a bit of dead space to fill since my resident services is pretty darn close to the airport 🙂
@quasi tartan oh sure I guess in that case you can't really put anything else substantial there. Mine is far away from the airport so that makes sense!
does anyone have any symmetrical, more city-like grid based island layouts? i have two south river outlets and i am so stumped :(
Made up my entrance by feeling 🤷🏻♀️
@woven drift so sweet!! It looks great 🙂
anyone wanna visit for ideas?
@hidden kindle Thank you ☺️
Does anyone know the tile size for houses?
canvisit my stores n buy the flowers/furniture/clothes
@hollow dew same honestly it’s driving me nuts 😂 I can show you what I’m kind of working on granted I’m still in the terraforming stage haha
pm me if interested
The player house size uwu
i want to kno how im doing so far. got alot of work to do here
check this @indigo sierra
all info on dimensions is also pinned guys
Has anyone done anything with their secret beach?
My bad! Thanks anyway
feel like the secret beach is just a lil too small to have much done with it
could someone help me with island design? i need some more furniture and ideas bc i have none
Anybody got ideas for what fences look good with brick paths? Besides the brick wall.
@granite hemlock try an outdoor library
@winter phoenix thank u xo
collecting those items takes a while tho, like the recipes needed for some of it
dude that library puts mine to SHAME
yeah, it's a great idea though!
be prepared to pay extortionate fees for DIY recipes 😑
I thought my library was good 😢
anyone else got ideas for me? i'm desperate lol 🥺
Any feedback please? 
@fallen spoke cutee
@finite cargo you could always redesign
love my library aesthetics so have most of the books diys! just lmk if u want anything crafted
I want to fill it in with more flowers and I also kinda hate I cannot make a 2nd layer near the secret beach :(
@ebon carbon id love to have stuff crafted
Is it five by four wide?
hello i need help with flower layouts
@finite cargo you could always redesign
@winter phoenix oh believe me I will. the designing is never done. ever
hahaha true
I’m thinking of making just a building area then making a nature one. My houses will just be a neighbourhood at an elevated part of the island
i haven't even started terraforming yet i have no clue what to do
anyone done anything interesting with those little peninsula over beach areas?
hey guys, some advice regarding my residential area would be amazing
i see most people put their houses in line or spread them over the island, i on the other hand chose 6 of my houses to hug a cliff in a sorta semi circular shape but im having doubts abt it, do u think i should keep this strange plan or change it up?
(sorry for resending, i found a mistake that would have been confusing for u all)
@terse thicket do whatever feels right in the moment imo, you can always change later if you change your mind
yah im just worried abt the fees racking up
i do hope it works out in the end though
best way to go about designing is being iterative, like one idea that morphs into the next...but you’re right that is costly
i have a very general plan atm and have mostly been going with the flow honestly while trying to stick to the very loose plan
I also hate how I think I run out of space so easily to build... like I think my island is so small compared to others
it's been expensive and slow but i feel like it's the funnest way to play and im happy with the results
Made up my entrance by feeling 🤷🏻♀️
@woven drift that looks so good!
likewise
I need desperate help with entrances 🥺 please help
I need desperate help with entrances 🥺 please help
@twin copper have you watched some videos for inspiration?
@twin copper
anyone have a cool museum area? im looking for inspiration
My entrance coming along nicely
My entrance is so small so I feel like I can't do much in such tiny space
Should I do a line of pink or white flowers or alternate?
Jay, I'd alternate
SO i may or may not have completely flattened my island...in an attempt to recreate something else...was this a really bad idea lol?
Ok thank you guys!
@lament cloud thats what I did. As u can see from my entrance now I'm adding cliffs back
Could I get some tips for my entrance please
@lament cloud no, but you gotta try and find ways to make it look more natural now
@fallen spoke banish elise and itll be perfect
Ye I want her gone...
graveyard is my favorite part of town c:
I also need to change the flowers for them to be all pink
@fallen spoke you entrance is cute but it isnt symetrical and it doesnt really have a grand entrance, if you are into that sorta thing
@fallen spoke banish elise and itll be perfect
@agile yarrow lmao...
Ye I wanted to make a grand entrance but there isnt much space to work with :(
I like it tho, altho from a design POV an entrance is a pre-show of what you are offering
if you need help you could come to my island, it isnt finished tho and its late rn so maybe another time 🙂
Could I get some tips for my entrance please
@fallen spoke i think it looks nice, if you want to do something more dramatic i would lengthen the walkway leading directly out of the dock, and have it branch off to the town hall a bit closer to the town hall, that will give you more room to put up decorations/trees/whatever you want to the sides of the path
Oh I could do that ye thanks ♡
@fallen spoke I have the same problem where my entrance isn’t exactly in the middle I said f it and just pretended it’s was the middle and i just moved things around it
graveyard is my favorite part of town c:
@hot imp Very nice graveyard!! I'm jealous, I want to make one but I'm out of room 😂
i need some inspiration my island feels a bit bland...
