you have to have smth in the middle or else it just looks awkward
Aaaah ty Freda all your trees inspired me!!
Me personally I’d add the pool to the middle. Maybe change the layout a bit to not make everyone next to the fence.
move the pool in the middle, add more beds where the pool is
I dont like the paths
But otherwise it looks great!
Do some sand. Or place it on the beach
If you have one a teacup ride 
anyone have any suggestions of what to do with empty spaces at the top? having a hard time getting inspired 😤
@woven drift you also need more cliffs and bodies of water up there to complete the fish dex
Or palm trees. Theres gotta be more summer vibe
i make all these god damn seating areas for my villagers AND THEY STAND? HOW DARE THEY
@patent sky yeahhhhh. I’ve been trying to figure out what I wanna do with my cliffs but blahhhh
You can plant palm trees on the sand path too btw @fast gate
OMG ACTUALLY?!
@woven drift #happy-home-designs
yeah
HUUUUUH
But it’s so goooood @woven drift :-:
the coconot one?
ugh i think acnh needs more furniture sets
@woven drift thats so nice i want the ironwood set so badly
@woven drift she immediately sat down on the ground in front of the bench
oml that's a big rip
Your map looks so cool!
@icy mantle clifftop cafe, amusement park, diner, graveyard, occult summoning grounds, zen garden, recreational area/lake, altar to stringfish
LOL thank u !! those sound like good ideas
Trading areaaaaaaa wahhhhhhh
There’s a star shower in my town who wants to come my dodo code is 0wsfw
I wanna goo
im trying to figure out where to build a community center.... my island is too small for more things 😂 and i want a graveyard after seeing the awesome one someone posted in here today. and a turnip farming area. i wish you could buy another small island from the nooks
intense computer typing intensifies
They contain wood
ik but 12 wood?! like cut me some slack
That one garden rock taking up 60 stone wants to talk
lmfao
Many mystery islands destroyed in search of regular wood
the stone arch takes 90 stone. eviscerated my stone stockpile so quickly lol
I made one and immediately hated it, if anyone wants it
I enter a myster island, hit one rock, get bored, and leave
^^mee
the beginning of my island!! completely redesigned it and adding bridges and inclines is so time consuming (I’m planning on using 8 of each). I’m not looking forward to making paths lol
Same tho
Oooo
Nice @olive gust looks good so far
thank u guys :']
Sooo I have this big empty spot on my island and IDK what to fill it with. It's between my resident areas of that helps :/
Uhh, I could use some input. I just started terraforming and decorating and would like some feedback or ideas. I'm so unsure of myself if this even looks good haha 
that’s awesome i need to redo all my bridges and inclines but tom just wants me bankrupt
What do I put in this space before my orchard? I’m at a loss. I don’t want my things to be covered up by houses but I think that’s inevitable
i def know im gonna change some bridges and inclines but right now i just need them there
trading areaaa
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWA1BfDUYAAZoYt?format=jpg&name=large Made a triple waterfall at the entranve coz why the fuck not
maybe a picnic table?
My go to response is graveyard rn after that awesome one was posted earlier
I don't like how things turned out making a cliff so I gotta take apart my entire diner set again and cafe set again and then demolish the cliffs, then set it all back up. FML
My go to response is graveyard rn after that awesome one was posted earlier
@patent sky
Oooo, I still need a graveyard! Still need that. Thank you! C:
dimitri fire emblem 😳
Oh god
Um..so does anyone wanna come over and tell me if my island looks decent xd
I have no graveyard, everyone gets sky burial
you know why you sometimes see a sekelton from a balloon present?
I have no graveyard, everyone gets sky burial
@patent sky do you watch buzzfeed unsolved by any chance?
Xd i'mma build a graveyard too eventually ig
@finite cargo I don't, I just have an undergrad anthropology degree and an obsession with vultures lol
@patent sky do you watch buzzfeed unsolved by any chance?
@finite cargo i'm not lulubells but i do and i love that this is a recurring thing this season. ryan just cant get over it 😂
I'm in the process of putting in a laundromat
@finite cargo I don't, I just have an undergrad anthropology degree and an obsession with vultures lol
@patent sky oh bc one of the creators dreams of a sky death and talks about it all the time its stupid funny
LOL that's amazing
@finite cargo i'm not lulubells but i do and i love that this is a recurring thing this season. ryan just cant get over it 😂
@hidden kindle YES I'M SO GLAD YOU GET MY JOKE!! Shane kills me omg
i’d love to come to anyone’s island for inspo if they let me 😫
whyyyyy doesssn'ttttttttt aaanimmaal crosssingggg lettt meee placeee flowerrrsss innnn theee midddleee offf biggg asss taaablbeeess?!?!?!?!
mood
why doesnt animal crossing let me plant flowers WITHOUT A SHOVEL
TRUE MOOD
OR A TREE
the thing that kills me is you cant do trees in spaces that arent 3 wide
you can plant flowers without a shovel..... @queen nexus
it makes me so mad because most of my town has 2 wide cliff edges
ok but....why does it let me erase my paths while im trying to piCK UP AN ITEM
ISTFG FIX THE CUSTOM PATHS NINTENDO IM BEGGING
this should just turn into the rant chat
idk how to hack the game, but i would only hack it put freakin trees next to my cliffs smh
terraforming hatred 101
we'd need 2 channels for that
i'll give my SOUL for some NORMAL CUSTOM PATH MECHANICS PLEASE
anyone have double south layouts i can look at
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/691056987055849512/701612639763169310/15873478795366760389347109654174.jpg
@heavy rune what lanterns are those? So cool
why couldn't ac made a bigger poor
i think they're tall lanterns???
correct me if im wrong.
they're garden lanterns
They look like regular garden lanterns
the one on floor level is a street lamp
ohhhh okay
Yess! Ty
im not a big fan of trees, that's why i just cramped them all into my orchard
I like to use trees so that I cant see the cliffs xd
its so hard to find daisy may when there are so many trees
more like everything blocks your view
smart
because you only have one perspective
she is too smol and cute and can hide behind the tree
shes baby
Gonna stop u all before it gets creepy.
what are u thinkin is gonna happen 🤔
how is it gonna get creepy
its creepy that u're insinuating that it was gonna get creepy man lmao
yea........
dAmN
->
uh
^
Yeah, we r saying it's cute
o_o
mk welp time to decorate my villagers lawns
glad we moved on
juuuuust great :D
i gave beau a yard flamingo
omg molly is adorable
ikr
idk what to give any of em lol
I need molly
same 😔
i have bluebear amiibo
i don't even know who the hecc that is
honestly im not that familiar with all the outdoor furniture in the first place so.....
Same @bleak ore
i think poppy is adorable too
big jealous right now
eW, the fricken frog
:0
Lemme delete it bc a mod will see this oop-
ok question how do people make secret hide out areas I do not understand
i love willow XD
:0
i love lily i have her & marina
same
i put marina and zucker's houses next to each other and i find that so adorable
dude, i wish we could like keep the small versions of trees
that face is too adorable
@olive gust its more like an illusion or basically a secret entry that ppl wont see easily
How am I supposed to make an original island when all the good ideas are taken smh my head
i think you can put the small tree next to a big tree
that should stop it from growing
I just need reassurance that I'm doing all this terraforming right 
bc they take up weird spots during the growing process
wat do u use pitfal seads for
It’s not much, but I’m really proud of this little fountain plaza in my shopping district. If I were to or fences around my paths, which fences should I use?
pitfall people....duh
rope fence
hUh?
i do it to villagers i dont like bc its fun
wdym?
ROPE FENCE == best fence
I personally like the country fence
why use fence when you can use jailbars
if you bury a pitfall seed in a hole it will appear like a fossil but when someone steps in it, it acts as a trap for like 20 seconds where u just sit around and squirn
theyre taller than any fence in the game
squirm*
ya, also works on other players lmfao
Rope fence would be great, just need the recipe
my island is 2 star coz trashed all trees
i personally like to use a custom pattern to fool others on my island into thinking there is a hole in the ground but it's fake, idk
Oh ooof
what happened to the white fences in the promo sad
alot of things can change between trailer and release
:'c unfortunately yes
some partitions also work
jailbars?
lmfao
you can customize the log stakes to birch and use them as a sort of fence
kinda espensive doe
jailbars make good fences look at that, theyre taller than the house
i think we're talking about the same thing @woven drift lol
Is it okay if I show an irl image of a fence? I want to know if there is something similar to it in the game
And u can turn them in white
wait ledster, ill just snapshot all the fences in the game
Does anybody have examples@of player houses being used as cafes ect? And maybe some good city inspired too? Oh and shopping district ideas haha
n33d that brick fence diy 0_0
I think I’ll use the lattice fence then
@timber relic if you can wait a sec i can send you a pic of my wip cafe
Ooh yes please!
I’m trying to make a beach theme sort of Hamptons like island
blood....
most of my island is rope fence and zen fence
u have something you're not telling us? 👀
i love your island sm vinh
Oh my god
Took days, but I got my rocks in the correct space
@woven drift some inspiration i found
@timber relic i need more iron garden furniture (waiting on diy) and to swap the colors on the espresso machine and some other things but this is where im at rn
oof that beach house is nice
That exterior is perfect wow
i wanna do that
zucker sends the cutest letters 😭
Question for island layouts? How do I do from this monstrosity to this? Is it impossible?
it's definitely possible! i would first recommend forming the land into the correct shape so you have that space, then move your houses 1 by 1, and then add your decorations
ofc you'd have to move the houses up on the cliff first before you can remove it in order to make that space flat
overall it's pretty solid except you can't change where the rivers lead out onto the ocean unfortunately :c
This my actual one. I moved my houses to the left originally bc it was too close to the airport entrance
it's such a beautiful layout! though i have to point out that the heart shapes waterfall that you planned... looks like another shape entirely. if you know what i mean. maybe rethink if it bothers you 🙂
nice! u can't change river openings like you want to in the second pic though xc
LOL
i think it's the way it was drawn
in reality it probably won't look that weird
😆 alright! then please ignore me and my dirty mind hahaha
is there a recipe for the shop front furniture
Yeah...I wish my island had a river on the right lol
Hi can anyone show me a japanese forest esque area on their island or reference to me any japanese forest images for some inspiration
Does anyone know how to make your paths look less barren? because ive been scattering clovers and glitter around and its not rlly working its still pretty barren
Yeah...I wish my island had a river on the right lol
@hard kettle you could tweak your design and join the river with the heart waterfall instead!
i need ideas for what to put in the areas i circled. rn they're either empty or just plant dumps. anything helps! really
Definitely a beach bar/club
Altar to string fish
@unique pond I probably wont do the heart to be honest...terraforming is the bane of my existence lol
Catch three and flex on everyone with the flick model
@woven drift idk what that looks like but i think i catch your drift. ty
Coelacanth if you want to go Cthulhu route
rn im making a koi and moth shrine so i think im good lol
Or oarfish
Does anyone have any Yakuza styled island inspirations?
Oh well you're way ahead of me LOL
@unique pond I probably wont do the heart to be honest...terraforming is the bane of my existence lol
@hard kettle ugh ikr? i watch tiger king and terraform at the same time hahaha
getting rid of cliffs and building land through water is fun, but all the other terraforming sucks
i need ideas for what to put in the areas i circled. rn they're either empty or just plant dumps. anything helps! really
@jovial bramble maybe a flower field with all the flowers set up in neat little rows like on a farm?
Anyone have any farm inspiration? Wanting to incorporate the silo.
i love how you have so much water! and all the little stepping stones! would love to see a pic
@unique pond that's sort of what i have right now in the giant rectangle. just a ton of flower breeding, but idk how to make it look pretty. thanks though
anyone have any space themed island/areas on their island i can see? :o
do you want to visit? idk how to take a pic of everything its so big
Hi guys, so this is my town square, it has a road thats fenced off out front. Here shown in the picture is the right most side of the town square where im planning on putting my Nooks cranny and Able sister shop.
The unpaved road shows where I am currently planning on placing the shop which is side by side. Do you guys think placing the able sister shop infront of Nooks cranny will be better? Or side by side is the way to go?
please ignore the houses, in the midst of moving them
do you want to visit? idk how to take a pic of everything its so big
@jovial bramble i wish i could but i'm supposed to be working now hahahaha
i just have discord running alongside my work window 😛
@unique pond I blame that b.... CarolBaskin forhow bad terraforming is
ok lemme see what pics i can get ill dm you @unique pond
@unique pond I blame that b.... CarolBaskin forhow bad terraforming is
@hard kettle i encountered Alli on a mystery island and burst out laughing. she really looks EXACTLY LIKE CAROL BASKIN
Anyone good at island designer who can help me pm
campsite(tm)
New resident area
@unique pond omg....ded. my store was selling those tiger face shirts yesterday. Smh...
maybe i should set aside some space for a tiger king-themed area... i do have jail bars hahaha
do it oommmmfgggg and get tiger villagers
it’s not that amazing but i just finished my turnip area😊
Cuteee
Looking for inspiration! What did you guys do with your hidden beaches?
I made it my back yard.
@high cloud the outfit though
mine is directly behind my house and mine is big! i didnt use the actual hidden beach but i made my own
oo quick question... is it crazy to create extra users just to add more houses to the island? for the aesthetic? hahaha
I know someone who did that to add a hotel and a bar.
@unique pond Im thinking about doing that aswell just takes some time to get through the introduction
Can people send a picture of their airport entrance, I got depressed with how mine looked
I’m so mad at myself,
I’m making a town but I’m seeing so many cute things here I wanna do but they don’t fit w my town or my town has no room fir anything
Why did I made the roads this big
This is what it originally looked like but I got depressed cause idk if I like it
@unique pond Im thinking about doing that aswell just takes some time to get through the introduction
@pure pecan aw good point...
What flowers look good around a pool area?
literally so much better tgan mine
@chrome mango I completely destroyed my entrance.....
You guys make such cool town squares :( the way my airport and Townhall are placed gives me so little space UGH
are you guys doing 2 wide, 3 wide, or 4 wide for roads ):
This is my entrance
I havent even gotten to the point with a town square LOL
@west marsh looks good needs trees's and i would also change the path as the contrast from fence doesnt look well imo
My island layout before I destroyed the entrance
@cold spoke mine are 6 whoops
@pure pecan I hate how the iron fence is one color. What fence do you recommend?
I was going to make an area to showcase one flower of every type x every color and then i realized not all flowers have the same # of colors. Eg roses has 10 colors total white mums has 6
.
@west marsh I think it would be easier to change the path to match the fence , unless you want to go with the brick fence!
the only path I really like is the brick one, or the wood
I'm trying to redo my island completely
Is there any way to get rid of paths faster?
Cause I have paths EVERYWHERE
@woven drift i think if you move a building over paths it erases all of the ones in its area. not sure it would really be faster though
that would help but I can easily get rid of the 16 path squares on the time it would take me to move the building
If I want to make a playground area what type of pavement should I use? I was thinking sand but I'm not quite sure. Looking for recommendations
I personally like to use sand
Is it called terracotta?
for my playground i used both dirt paths to make patterns i think it looks nice
Oh a dirt path would be good
I like it on the beach
Any suggestions
How did you guys measure spaces between houses to make everything so straight and even? Did you dig holes?
^ everything is so shifted D:
On mine?
I shifted mine on purpose
yay i think i’m finally done with the residential areas.
That’s a really pretty shell layout tho
Thank you
We have the same river outages lol
Nice
i didn’t change the rivers other than making them shorter or wider.
no complete leveling. too much.
work
I feel that
shoutout to all the people who complete level their islands when they terraform. that’s a lot of commitment lol. and a huge project.
Bruhhhh, I wish my airport was lined up with my town hall
I reset about 20 times to get my airport and town hall lined up, get the town hall close to the airport, and get front/right rivers. I didn't think it was possible to get all three together for a while.
Does anyone want to trade ??
I made a pretty good entrance with my town hall being close to the airport. Its doable
I have a lot of duplicates I would like to get rid of
I need more items to put outside but I dont know what elese to add :(( I need to get rid of all these roses
i met a person who never talked to harvey so he just walks around FOREVER.
too much work
on your island.
I put all my extra flowers on the beach haha
my island of that which i am proud #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/s47I8Fpn9t
i dont want any red flowers on my island so i have a giant section of red flowers idk what to do with
i dont want any red flowers on my island so i have a giant section of red flowers idk what to do with
@jovial bramble invite best friends over and have a digging up party... it's the quarantine equivalent of getting them to help paint your room
I would want people to pick out my ugly flowers, I only have roses
....you're not the only one who had thought that
they make me hungry no cap
do y’all know if we can build bridges from one cliff to another? or is it only over rivers
anyone have a cool way of showing off the lily of the valley flower?
@unborn topaz You cannot. Only across water.
rip!
Can someone show off their cliffs/ waterfalls I’m so stumped on what to do in this one area I have
anyone have a cool way of showing off the lily of the valley flower?
@gentle solar the 5x5 fountain
using the flower as a topper
I’m literally making my brain numb thinking about my layout too much
I hate this tbh
I lack so much creativity like this game isn’t for me
Uhhh this is what I've got
@rose echo I'm not sure what area is struggling for you but I hope this gives you an idea? I know the trees are blocking most of it so sorry..
I’ve been stuck at 3 star island for a few weeks now, does anyone have tips to get to 4 star
I have lots of flowers already 😂
Well, you might not have a lot of furniture or fencing then
I guess so
Finally decided what to do with that space 💀 n built this
could someone show me a shot of a very natural, unsymmetrical look where there are many mini waterfalls here and there? i need some inspo 🙂
@unique pond i dont have many pics but you can see my town layout. there are waterfalls everywhere coming from 2nd & 3rd levels
@unique pond i dont have many pics but you can see my town layout. there are waterfalls everywhere coming from 2nd & 3rd levels
@hidden kindle wow thank you! your layout is so gorgeous, and i realised we have almost identical island layout in terms of town hall/grassy stick out part/airport/pier/river mouths 😛
also heres a lil video of the town hall area (more mini waterfalls) https://twitter.com/AcnhFreda/status/1251635376751427584
yay island twins unite! lol
ah! so natural! so pleasing! thank you!
good luck!
Looking for people with finished towns that would like to be featured on a town tour youtube channel. Channel has nearing 100k views of the town tours so fair dm me 🙂
anyone know how big a quadrant is in the map?
There really isn’t a channel for outdoor decor...any thoughts on these mini-yards for villagers? Are they too small?
Yay! My garden works as intended. I spent too much time getting the moon cycling to be part of it.
awesome! what's that rock called may i ask?
Theres 3 in the formation but the angle makes it look like 1 @unique pond. Well far back. Pond stone next tile down. Final tile tall garden stone
thought this was cute
I cleared my island. Not sure what to do now
@knotty mason There’s this really cool island planning tool online so you can organize your island in theory before doing anything with it. I’m currently working on making a really nice theoretical layout before i spend a bunch of time. I can dm the link to you if you’d like?
bottom rightside of your island is meeting doomsday damn
What paths go good with brick bridges?
@crimson portal the happy island designer, or is there another?
@knotty mason I think that’s the one! Guess it’s a bit more known that i thought. I keep telling my friends about it hehe
There's a lot of useful stuff pinned here in this channel for island planning
@whole sphinx Talk to Isabelle regularly. Act on her suggestions. I felt like I was stuck between 3 and 4 stars for so long until I started paying attention to what she told me to do. At one point, she just wouldn’t stop talking about flowers. So I kept planting and planting. And then suddenly, she told me something different. As long as I worked on her active suggestion, I breezed straight through to 5 stars.
Ok thx for the advice
I have a quick question. If i want my house to remain on the same spot, but on a cliff instead, i’ll have to move my house away once, build a cliff and then move my house back?
Yes
is there a faster/alternative way?
Just have a question...
Can we place more than 8 bridges?
I don’t think so
@random sandal Unfortunately, that’s it. And it costs double due to the double move. 😩
ihave panted so many flowers. No 3 star rating yet.
Urgh. I wished i thought of building a cliff before i sat myself there. Thanks!
@woven drift you’ll need plenty of fencing and outdoor furniture as well. Have you spoken to Isabelle for her suggestions?
@woven drift You can also line your beach with DIY and shop furniture to cheese your rating. Also fencing
At least to get 3 star
she said clear clutter. Is that all the island? of just one portion
Omg, I just put 4 stairs near my museum, so I cannot put more than 4 other stairs on my Island?
Only 8 stairs and 8 bridges
Omggg
i made that mistake too 😦 4xstone bridges demolished hahaha.
@woven drift Clutter is dropped items, not placed furniture. So if you’ve dropped things or aren’t picking up weeds and branches, you should pick that up.
What you can do with some areas is make cliff jump spots as well for design.
i mean stone stairs
So you can save on bridge space and inclines
Thx
@wide shard i know bridges can be saved by adding those little squares for you to hop... but is there a shortcut to create something to replace an incline?
we can't hop levels right?
You can demolish inclines
ohhh i understand! that's a great idea!
So keep that in mind whether it be like small 4x4 waterfalls
that you can connect your upper levels together
Keep in mind that residents cant hop over as well..
i've decided that my villagers don't need inclines to access their houses, hahaha. save the inclines for my own convenience
Villagers teleport. Lol
They do teleport. But if you want them in certain areas more often you can use the fact that they can skip over rivers as a way to barre them from your private spots
Like flower gardens
or places of construction
cant skip over rivers*
Its annoying af. but they are more likely to teleport to areas that they can walk to in general.
I just want my stupid ass gruff to stay barred off in his house so I get get him the fuck off my island
And if you’re using custom paths, place the default paths first, then put the custom paths over it. It creates physical roads for them to walk on. Though my villagers do whatever they want regardless. The in-game paths are the only ones that appear on the map anyway. So I always place them underneath custom paths.
Nice
What plopsy said is also really good. Just be wary that some custom designs warp in response to certain default paths
@elfin mango Very clean. But my first impression is... CHADDER! Lol
does it solve the issue of no sound on a custom path though? it's the only reason why i don't use custom paths... it's too quiet when i run on it
I’m barely done with mine as you can see. But I’m alr at 4 stars
Heheheh @unkempt snow
@wide shard I think the only time the custom path warps into the default ones is when there’s a transparency included in the design.
@crimson portal can you dm me the link as well?
I use that to my benefit. It can create a “painted over” effect. @wide shard
@silver sorrel nice!
@unkempt snow sometimes the effect makes it super nice. However it fucks with some designs meant to connect seamlessly ;-;
since it trims an edge or so.
Also have my house too...i love 5am
That’s crazy awesome!
I regret not saving mid terraforming my island. Its taken me 15 minutes to load my island xD

It still hasn't loaded ;-;
I would puke in fear.
Do you guys wanna see THE best entrance I have ever seen
Sure
I swear if its a bunch of beds
I've literally never seen one like it, I'm speechless
beds?
Imma tilt
I KNEW IT
smh
HAHAHAHAHA
I wonder who’s winning
This is what I came up with...
I have all cat villagers. 😂
Thoughts?
Weird flex in map chat but okay
Too goofy?
@knotty mason I love this
It’s cute!!
@knotty mason great design. You might have to reroll a shit ton to get the right positioning on your beach riverways
D: hopefully you get it!
No. The oh gosh was to the weird flex. Your cat island is precious, @knotty mason
in honour of 1 month of new horizons, my map on day 1 and my map now! still a work in progress, but pretty dang happy with it overall!
@wintry nacelle That’s beautiful!!!
Omgggg
eh?
@wintry nacelle has a+ map
@unkempt snow @patent sky thank you 💕
You also have 3 of my favorite villagers.
ooo which 3?
Diana and Audie club?
Merengue, Coco, and Diana.
ahhh coco just moved in she's so cute!! i'm building her a little beach area atm
before:
Almost 3/4 done with my island
after:
Phew now thats cleaaaaan @heavy summit
These are all so neat and clean!
idk about cleeaaaan....
before
Your camp is in the shopping district. That’s prime real estate.
i still need to clean up my pathing a little...
after
Y’all are too perfect.
Hiii, any 5-star island that I can visit now? I'd like to record a quick island tour of your island.
Please DM me~
im open
damn you're already 5 star
i been 5 a long time ago lol, its not hard just plant alot of stuff
And fences, and furniture
Listen to Isabelle. Place lots of fences and furniture. And I think I had to have about 100+ blooms.
I don't have a before pic really but here's after lmao
Wow! How are you guys so amazing at design AND have the best villagers?
I think you only need like 30-50 pieces of fencing too, and make sure to decorate all levels of the island
Would you believe Beau is the only one I bought/traded for?
What if you don’t use the third level
@dusky hinge I have no idea
im surprised that stitches,goldie,and rosie goes for high ticket, when they literally come with amiibo festival lol
@patent sky I like your spooky face pond.
It was an accident ;; but it's pretty in game so it stays hah
The pandas are having a picnic! 😭
So I’m using custom pathing mainly atm is it worth putting down regular pathing first to make the map look nice? Or nah and just let the island speak for itself?
@patent sky I would love to see video tour of ur island 😍
@timber relic Depends on your preference. But I like having the paths on the map.
It depends! I put the pathing down in some places first to get the grassy edges
i’ll pay someone in bells to help me get an idea and started 🥺
dm me if interested
Hello ppl. I'm kinda new in the community. I discovered this discord and now i cant stop reading stuff i love it.
Right now i'm just particularily stuck with my island design. I really want to do something cool, and I have some Ideas but i dont know how to start and I'm kinda overwhelmed 😅
Can you point me in the right direction? I've tried happy island designer but i keep going on circles there hehe
@wintry nacelle can please take a picture of your heart lake, I have a heart lake to but yours looks nicer on the map
@frozen pagoda Just try to recreate a popular video game shrine. Like I chose my museum to replicate the entrance to the Forest temple for zelda
@flat spoke tbh all I did was adjust my design to the natural curves and beauty of my island, a lot of people just flatten their islands tho and start from scratch
^ rolling with your RNG map is also awesome.
@quaint turret here's a preview of my little night market (fish market way not done in this vid), there are a couple other clips on there if you want https://twitter.com/vulturehime/status/1251706615075450880?s=21
thank you guys !!
I love u @patent sky
Imagine it now with more trees lmao
@patent sky do you know the qr code for the beach tile area?
@flat spoke tbh all I did was adjust my design to the natural curves and beauty of my island, a lot of people just flatten their islands tho and start from scratch
@dusky hinge thanks. I tried to follow the design of my own island but it feels like its little space compared with many extraordinary islands out there which seems to have multiple little attractions and features and stuff built up
i mean, if that whas rogressively built how did they start you know? hehehe
@west marsh here you go! im probably gonna revamp this area of my island soon tho tbh bc it takes up a LOT of space
Can one of you guys show me pics of campsites? I really don't know what to do with mine and I'd like the inspiration!
Any ideas for this space?
@shut terrace mine is extremely simple but properly in the bush
@bitter inlet shrine or garden maybe?
Looking for full diner set dm me
what would I use for a shrine
@patent sky Yours looks really nice!
Ty! I wanna get some QR custom path squares of clovers and whatnot to throw around there
anyone gots any inspo for a town square?
@bitter inlet I like the low imperial table personally
This is mine, I kinda just went with the trees n then the basic fountain in front
@bitter inlet park or Zen garden
it looks really nice! I've seen people using water and flowers around it and it looks cool
btw is there some source of inspo you guys use? to get to know designs and patterns and things you may be able to do
Here's a WIP for my seaside beach house, will most likely move it to another location and make a resized dock, was just trying to get an idea lol
Got around to cut out a path to my secret beach. Hopefully it'll actually be useful at some point for an event or something.
I feel like I am going to cut a valley through my mountain and move the campsite let them use the secret beach until/unless I need to catch a fish back their
i think i forgot to feed a villager 
Bait still works back there but no fish soarn currently. One of my friends put a cutout incline that looks kinda secret and you don't see it until up close which was pretty cool. @quick iris
What else can I add to this area. It looks really empty from the entrance
This is my entrance
Make the heart a little bigger and put the moon in the middle?
Flower walk way leading to a park sized area around the heart pond? Also ya I figured as much steppy
O.o
The moon I put behind my Pagoda from the entry way but I just moved it to my Zen garden. This is an old pic.
Both ideas could work you also could raise it two levels make it look like a 3d waterfall heart to show off at the entrance
I've learned from experience how much space waterfalls take up haha
waterfall is alot more annoying than u think it is
I hate the restrictions on waterfalls
and it kinda blends in together when you spam waterfall everywhere
Well it could be one waterfall that looks like a heart you know level 3 having the 2 bumps and going down or it could just be a heart shaped mountain with a pond in it and waterfalls falling off it
hi! does anyone have saharah rn?? 😦 also thats so cute @woven drift

I wish you could terraform your island like you can place stuff in your house. The gridding feature.
I guess that's what the custom art is place it on the ground and section it out
True
lol, i think its a bit overkill XD
its not overkill till the frame rate drops
yes i been to an island where their marketplace was so filled i could count the frames
@bleak ore I like it, have you considered a boardwalk area since it's next to the beach?
never thought of it XD
Here’s some cute things i made!
i was thinking more of a marketplace
u need more trashbags in the dump
Hehe the dump needs more stuff like a tire tower and a bag of trash
Everything else is cute though the body builder area could work close to the beach (like how it is in real life over in California and other beach areas)
can’t you craft trashbags?
Yes you can catch enough trash to get the diy idea
Hey im new to this, is there a faster way to design a layout of does it have to be done piece by piece
You could use the app and set up your idea then bring it to your island bit by bit
What's the app?
Thank you I'll take a look
does anyone have any boardwalk designs ): im kinda stuck on what else to add in the empty spaces
Just keep in mind you can't edit the beach and you only get 2 mouths of the river (the bit connecting to the ocean)
@cold spoke could always take a look at some Santa Monica pier pictures
Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone can help me design my island. The way my rivers are- I just cant think of anything. Heres an accurate map of my island. Please DM me! https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
i feel so limitedd, because i also wanna have a park/playground area and im scared ima start having same exact furniture for both ):
You can always get them in different colors or swap stuff out as you go along
@hushed aspen I think your going to need to get a picture of your island and send the saved picture the link just takes us to the starter island for that app... Unless thats how your island looks
Just finished making this, super proud and happy with my town
Oh shoot. Whenever I test click on the link, it takes me to the verzion of my island I created. Heres a pic of that though! @quick iris
If you need locations of my current shops and museum, let me know!
Need help on inclines
hey just a question, how far do inclines have to be from one another?
It won’t let me put an incline there because it says it will be too crowded. But the layout is the same (I think) as the left side, and it’s fine on the left
Hmmm well I guess now it all depends on your style because with me looking at this map I would place the shops up high top left the housing on the ridge bellow that then in the lowest part maybe a Zen garden with the museum after that I got no ideas @hushed aspen
This is the left side
@sharp stump maybe because the shop is right there? its a huge thing and takes up more room then flowers. just guessing idk. had the same problem earlier
@sharp stump maybe because the shop is right there? its a huge thing and takes up more room then flowers. just guessing idk. had the same problem earlier
@halcyon horizon I figured but it’s the same on the left side, shop is right there but it works near nook.
@sharp stump probably because it’s almost in front of the tailor shop’s door
@sharp stump probably because it’s almost in front of the tailor shop’s door
@deep saffron AHHH that’s it! Ty
Np!
does anyone have rivers running through a residential area? i'm trying to take inspo :)
@quick iris Thank you for the idea! That definitely helps me out a lot
@hushed aspen no problem I finally have ideas to give now that I have a layout for my island I can be happy with
@quick iris Aw, thats good!
Though my ideas are more centered around me being a mountain girl and not an island girl XD
can anyone share their tree garden
Moon pond!
Hello I have started moving my villagers homes and building ramps/bridges. I am stuck with placement for the other houses and bridges/ramps. Willing to pay nmts/bells for the help.
@strong hamlet just space out your trees pick a number of how many fruit you would like aka 3 6 9 12 and then line your fruit trees up in rows that's how almost everyone I know dose them
If your talking normal trees I have no clue I just toss them in spots to make my island look natural
@fallow vortex you know u can mobe houses in the beach area
yea but im wondering what path type should i use that goes around the whole garden
idk im weird
@strong hamlet either dirt or for something less artificial, try getting some stone path patterns
ight
these would look nice, but there's a lot more online if you look or ask here on this server
Thank you to everyone who helped me yesterday I’ve begun remodeling this is one of my new witch areas
Woah, I love the custom designs. I need to set up a witch area myself
What could I use to blend this together ? I’m trying to make a little park area
Is there a particular good place to search for custom path designs? I lack artistic talent to make my own
@crude moss I’m going with an entirely witch themed town if you need any help finding codes 😄
I’d appreciate it! I’m going for a Half-Life themed island myself but my guilty pleasure is witchcraft and whatnot. :p
Ooooooo
Probably going to set up a forest in the corner dedicated to it
Consider it an “off-limits” zone
Haha
If you could dm me any customs you’d be willing to share, I’d appreciate it! <3
@patent lintel I’d love to to see custom codes you’ve used!!
If anyone has any nice pool areas I’d love to see pics, I’m in need of some inspiration
oh wow
my girlfriend needs help figuring out how to place everything in her town so that it looks really nice! Will pay in bells/or NMT! Dm if interested in assisting! 🙂
So I just figured out if you accidentally place a home somewhere you didn't want it you can just close the game and the kit will be back in your inventory, just talk to nook and say you changed your mind about moving it
Anyone willing to come to my island to help me figure out what to do in certain areas?
@unreal rose ur villagers are amazing wtfrick most of them are the most popular ones!!
@candid frigate how’d you get them all to pose for the photo
@unreal rose ur villagers are amazing wtfrick most of them are the most popular ones!!
@austere chasm right? it's like black magic
They automatically look towards the screen when popping the confetti
@patent lintel
What would you all expect to see in an island named Lightcoast?
I held a ceremony but I wasn't expecting them to get like that. It was a nice surprise! @patent lintel
i have no idea what theme my island should be,, can someone please help?
Ahhhh it’s the best possible photo
You should try matching the theme to your island name
can someone help anyone use happy island designer
my island name sounds cult like because i didnt know what to name it AA
Then maybe you could make it a quiet forest town
I just visited @heavy summit 's island, super cool~
o ok thanks!!
Anybody have any villager neighborhood layouts they could show off?🤔🤓
okay so u can you guys show me what you did with your villagers houses? i mean like what you put around them and how you placed them?
oop we just asked the same thing haha
See I like my villagers 💀💀 @heavy summit
Anyone got any good ideas how to set up a wedding area? I would like it for the aesthetic
Awww yes I have a few
Ur gonna want shellfish arch
Just be ready to shell out between 1-5 nmt or even more
haha
Might be cheaper if u can get someone to make u one or 2
Maybe
how can you make it so that custom paths don't simply rub off upon pressing y?
anyone have neighborhood layouts i can see?
U can go to controller setting and disable ur y button
But other than that dont press y on ur custom path pretty much
That’s big smart
oh thats fine. i just need like a general idea
Ever since the update i basically played the game one handed lol
I love this area but is there anything else I should add?
trees
yeah some trees and lights would spice it up a bit
Oo I'll try those ideas out!
You guys were talking about town names and themes matching and I really like that idea it’s what I’m trying to do
If you don't wanna block the flowers you could move them to the front and put the trees behind
My island is named Lux Aurea which means golden light in Latin so I went with a celestial/witchy theme
i dont think i shouold model my isalnd after its name
Town names can be whatever, u can change ur town theme at anytime but u cant change ur town name
My island is named cookie, but my island is a square, so that plan seems doomed lol
There are square cookies
I just made my flag a cookie and called it a day
Don’t discriminate haha
.....my island is literally called Quarantini; yall really thought a lot about the name? damn.
I just felt like naming it after a food haha
i mean mine is poopie head so 💀
If u stick with only one theme for the whole acnh, ur gonna get bored with the game after u “complete” ur island just my opinion
ok thank god im not the only one then
@ornate field mine is potato because I was eating some chips 💀
I love that
HAHAHHHAHAHA AMAZING
I just wanted to get started with the game so I came up with something quick haha
My town name is auto deleted in this discord lol
my island name is poopie head and mine is pp. i have problems
BG island
mine is Fine Line LMAO
Honestly they should've warned us it wasn't changeable LOL
Isnt it implied
fr
I just wish we could have more than 1 file, I'd love to do multiple islands
Since they tell u u cant change ur name
what am i going to do when quarantine finishes?
still play ac
I know people who named their island covid19 and quarantine lol
I really just want them to update and add Brewster
Im still playing it lol
me too
And Redd and Katrina
my friend named his Quarantine that's why I had to do Quarantini
I miss them all so much
just pretend it's some new shape of pasta, quarantini and cheese sauce
i miss reese and cyrus
SAMEEEEE
just pretend it's some new shape of pasta, quarantini and cheese sauce
@turbid sparrow HAHAHA LOVE THAT
offended noises
Ah I need to read serve a space for him. I forgot lol

he's supposedly lazy but he puts in more work than any other villager haha
I literally walk to him like hey I got you some useless twigs, and hes like omg *blushes heres 400
Zucker wanted to move out today but I said no
Zucker wanted to move out today but I said no
@woven drift keep him; hes one of the best I got
I'm low key blessed marshal arrived on my island when I built the tent lol
My villagers wont move lol im tryna get rid of em
Marshal is so cocky though
i need moose to move out rn
I will keep him, he’s adorable
apparently theres some drama in my island, marshal was trash talking the other villager behind his back
My squad
I built a plot and didn't find a villager in time, then had Coco move in randomly, that was pretty dang lucky
I HATE anchovy and chops i want them to move RN
I loveeee Poppy
I HATE THAT RENEIGH
I brought her in using her amiibo card
if moose doesnt leave ill end it all
IVE BEEN HITTING HER AND NOT TALKING TO HER FOR WEEKS HOPING SHE WOULD LEAVE
I HATE HER SO MUCH ITS STUPID AT THIS POINT
I LOVE HER SHES SUCH A SWEETY
I had truffles and I hated her lol
NO SHES SO MEAN TO ME
HER AND PHOEBE PLAY TAG ALL THE TIME
i sent her a lot of hate mail too
So far my only villager who's asked to leave is chadder, who asked literally 2 days after he moved in
It’s so cute
So far my only villager who's asked to leave is chadder, who asked literally 2 days after he moved in
@turbid sparrow HAHAHHAHA DIDNT LIKE THE WEATHER
You gotta talk to her for a bit like 3-4 daya then ignore her while talking to everyone else. That's what worked with for truffles
I’m trying to get rid of Rolfe and the one brown bunny with a hat, can’t remember his name
i hate most of mine
You gotta talk to her for a bit like 3-4 daya then ignore her while talking to everyone else. That's what worked with for truffles
@marble portal ahh, will try that, man ive been trying to get rid of her for 2 weeks now, shes so stubborn

Oh you have the new bear

AMELIA
I WANT THAT BUNNY ITS CUTELY CREEPY
COCO
I gave her sunglasses and now she's less scary LOL
Who has gloria BRO
Squad
I time traveled over 3 years worth of dates (1 week apart) to try to get rid of truffles lol I had tried all the methods (ignoring her, hitting her with net, trapping her, complaining to Isabelle, gave her ugly stuff) and the one that finally got her to leave is to actual talk to her for a bit
I saw a comic where villagers bullied Coco because of the way she looked and it made me feel so sad
for some reason if you talk to them more they are more compelled to leave lmao
I got a video for you guys who are struggling
It helped me a lot give me a second to find it
I time traveled over 3 years worth of dates (1 week apart) to try to get rid of truffles lol I had tried all the methods (ignoring her, hitting her with net, trapping her, complaining to Isabelle, gave her ugly stuff) and the one that finally g

dont ignore them, they won’t leave lol
you gotta talk to them more and then tt for 15 days ahead
ah I don't TT
I dont talk to mine at all and i dont look at them and they move
hard*
it just depends
it's ok I'm patient haha
i think it’s random
My current squad
the longer it takes for my island to be the way I want it the more playtime I get
Whats your guys’ playtime
AHHH WHOS THE CUTE SQUIRREL BELOW THE PLAYER CHARACTER
what happens if I get rid of all of my villagers ? is taht possible?
I love them!!!!!!!
400 hours
wow
@patent lintel sylvana!
285
My army
I just have 150 LMAO
I have zucker on my new leaf town, he's great
People who are like “i dont know what to do” arnt creative enough to have their own fun lol
Dont shame @heavy summit sometimes it takes a little bit lol dont be toxic
Zucker is the best unique villagers
um this is my first time playing AC dont come 4 me :c
I have 235 hours. And a lot of it is spent trying to find decent villagers 😂
my squad 🙂 it’s pretty obvious who i want out
@ornate field youre fine! dont listen to dem
I've been designing my island around my villagers, I give each of them an entire section of the island themed around them
Anyone want to play hide and seek
aww poor sprinkle
Sometimes you just need inspo 🤷🏻♀️ I take 90% from inspo
i love her but i want roald 0_0
Roald Is Best boi
yesss
I dont mean inspo, i mean stuff like not customizing anything in a game about customizing. Theyre ususlly done after doing nooks quest
oh like the people who get the KK concert, say "I beat the game" then quit? haha
Most of my friends (that dont tt) havent even reached that point cause theyre already bored
animal crossing isn't for everyone, I think there's a lot of people who aren't actually into this sorta game playing it just cuz everyone else is
@heavy summit i think these people are not the kind who usually play this type of game, they just tried it out because of the hype and realised it's just not their style of gameplay
i have a friend that’s already bored :(((
I want my bf to play but i know well enough hes not gonna even past day 3 so i never really pushed him to play with me
Does anybody have a 5 star island that I can come visit please? for inspiration 🥺
i wouldn't say that they lack creativity though, they just look for other kinda of stimulation in games as compared to us. we like the long game and we love slaving at it for hours on end 🙂
my husband is a pest on my island and he only plays to buy and sell turnips 😆
I had a friend who wasn’t into NL but is into NH oddly
@craggy pivot You can come to mine if you want, it's not finished yet tho (Also no where near as impressive as a lot of the others I've seen here lol)
Looking for some island entrance inspo!!! Show me the view right when you enter from the airport 🥰
Why play ac for the stalk market when u can do real stock market
@turbid sparrow it’s ok lol I’m not looking for impressive I’m just looking for a chill island

Any idea for this area?
Cafe
it's ok, i let him do it then tax his earnings hahaha
@elder thunder inspired by another person! But it really helped me because my rs is off centered and far back
My idea for my revamped island. I've already started on it, completely flattened out the island and such
@heavy summit sorry i read that the wrong way but omg i made my bf get it and after three days he stopped playing ut completely:( hes a cod boy
Lol yes I do @heavy summit
ig im a cod girl too tho LMAOO
Love that!! @marble portal
Ac is a game where u have to make ur own fun, not really a game where the fun is given to u
Rt
yeah that's a good way of putting it! haha
and omg. i was wondering why your bf is a cod fish???? but now i get it
@marsh crest dance floor
GUYS IF ANYONE NEEDS HELP CLEARING CEDAR TREES LET ME KNOW, i need them and will pay 💖🥺
Any tips and tricks on terraforming? I have a layout that I wanna do I think but I’m looking for tips on how to organize while I start the project bc I def don’t hVe enough money to move all my buildings around
I have anchovy and he wont leave me ALONEEEE
If you want to kind of retain your original island structure, then terraform one section at a time, usually the mainland first
lemme help u with ur layout by taking ur cedar trees that are in the way of terraforming 🤗
Also @unique pond LMAO COD is call of duty
This is a very very rough outline of my island, but i feel like it's all over the place. Anyone got any ideas? 
@spiral kettle @woven drift ahh thank you guys, I think gonna combine oh that idea 😊
No problem
Here’s my finished layout 
inspo for u all
Looking like a farmland

@heavy summit It is lol, it’s a huge flower breeding farm
Thats gonna be a pain to terraform when u want to redesign
Hm that is true but I don’t plan to change it anytime soon
People with terraforming: look at my secret [blank]
Me: [minimap always on] nice try
Hi what’s a good app or website for designing ur island? Any suggestions plz
Pinned message
uhh
What
Hey guys I'm trying to build a Zen Garden. Are there any furnitures that you can recommend me for the garden? Or any other tips?
So, I made this little juice bar on one of the tiny beaches on my island. I love it so far, but I feel it looks a little bland. Any ideas on what I could add to make it better?
Edelgard 😍
hey guys, having a bit of trouble designing my island, ideally id love to have my villagers with a mini garden/their houses surrounded by fencing, how big should i make their plots of land?
Should I only use bamboo trees for the zen garden?
Wow that looks really nice!
It was created by @/MimimiCee on Twitter
Not sure if they have more pictures of the garden though
is it possible to build a bridge connecting to landmass without a river?
Nope
shite
U need water for bridge
Something cool u can do with bridge is build and destroy all the land on one side to make a pier for a lake
QUESTION: should i make my island pastel and cute orrrrr nah
i’m just scared of committing to pastel bc it’s gonna be hard to accomplish idk if it’s worth it
Why would it be hard to accomplish
I’ve only seen it been done like this @pastel lily
how many spaces does nooks and able sisters take up?
Check pins
Redid my beach front house dock and beach, need to collect items for it now and wait for my coconut trees to grow but im happy with it 😭
I love the exterior
You dont need to wait, build fake palm trees with palm tree lamp
that is so cute!!
does anyone know how to unlock terraforming? I started playing late
3 star island
ok ty
@woven drift thank you 💕 I'm hoping to add more themed items
@whole bear i think I got something for u 😄
@heavy summit I have those inside my house! I have a beach themed house interior haha
