[woven drift]

I wish we could terraform beaches

[solemn bronze]

ive been terraforming like a mad person for hours lol

[whole bear]

I still haven't unlocked terraforming... not looking forward to doing my entire island 😭

@sonic blaze What's that?

[sonic blaze]

@whole bear can send a sand castle if u want :p

[heavy summit]

I like how majority of the people get terraforming and then flatten the whole island

[solemn bronze]

its definitely overwhelming if you try to do the whole island at the same time

[whole bear]

Ah I have both the blue and red ones! Lol

[woven drift]

Yea I learned that it’s best to do sections at a time

[whole bear]

Its actually hiding in my 2nd picture

[sonic blaze]

ohh ok 😄

[solemn bronze]

i did flatten everything but i did temporarily take out my rivers

[heavy summit]

I still kept my island relatively the same

[solemn bronze]

didn’t flatten*

[woven drift]

Lake house 👀

[turbid sparrow]

Working on a dance club

[heavy summit]

Its a waterfall house

[woven drift]

Even better

[solemn bronze]

the only parties we’ll be attending for now lol

[woven drift]

What are you planning on doing with the top left of your island?

[heavy summit]

Thats my farming area

For fruit trees and flowers

If i change my island, the top left will most likely be untouched

If i ever need to plant more fruit or certain flowers for the rest of my island

So all is not lost when i change things around

[wise slate]

could i get some neighborhood layouts?

[woven drift]

Ah I see

Was thinking of adding a farmers market with a farming area for similar reasons

[heavy summit]

Its a small part of the map to pay for convenience for the rest of the map

People can walk thru there, but i walled off my flowers so people cant mess with it

I usually grab all the fruit down first thing

I feel sorry for people who want to redesign but put flowers everywhere in the main land tho

[woven drift]

Yea I’m currently going through that problem

[heavy summit]

U tried carrying around a trashcan furniture

And just emptying all the flowers in there

[woven drift]

I haven’t

I guess I should then

[heavy summit]

If u dont care about regrowing those flowers and just wanna empty ur inventory fast its a good way

[woven drift]

I planted and bred too many hyacinths and pansies

And I’m most likely gonna end up not needing the pansies sadly

[heavy summit]

Im tryna breed all flowers, thats why the top left takes up so much space

[solemn bronze]

do you guys think we’re gonna get new shops soon... im not sure if i should plan ahead for it because of the rumors

[hushed valve]

@woven drift aww so cute!!

[heavy summit]

I dont think we will in terms of an actual shop building

We have furniture and clothes, idk what else u can sell thar would require a permanent building

[solemn bronze]

the garden shop and the coffee shop are things ive heard might come back

[heavy summit]

Coffee is probably museum

[woven drift]

@hushed valve thank you😭❤️

[still wasp]

New waterfall area! Nooks is moving tomorrow so I can make it into a picnic space

Can’t wait to see it all grown in!

[heavy summit]

What does garden shop do

Nook crany already sells flowers lol

[turbid sparrow]

yeah in this game a lot of the shops that used to be separate got combined

garden shop combined into nook's, shoe shop combined into ables, and hair salon replaced by the mirror item

basically just the coffee shop that's totally missing

[solemn bronze]

thats all i was looking forward to anyways

[woven drift]

Garden shop could sell bushes

[solemn bronze]

and in new leaf it sold fertilizers ect

[woven drift]

And more flower varieties

[turbid sparrow]

Yeah I'd love some more plant options beyond flowers and trees

[heavy summit]

If we do get a new shop its probably nook level 3

[woven drift]

I’ve yet to see any roses in my shop

[heavy summit]

But that wont be a while since nintendo is going off non time traveler calender

[wise slate]

omg i finally have an idea for my villagers houses

finallyyyyyy

[heavy summit]

Prison bars?

[solemn bronze]

LOL

[wise slate]

oop

[ivory salmon]

Video up for my quick island tour in @unique creek's island ❤️ If y'all wanna watch for some inspo, check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPXK3d-VFMA

[languid kiln]

my island is so ugly can someone give me tips lol

[turbid sparrow]

@languid kiln The straight vertical river seems kinda out of place

[languid kiln]

im really bad at terra forming

[unique creek]

Video up for my quick island tour in @unique creek's island ❤️ If y'all wanna watch for some inspo, check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPXK3d-VFMA
@ivory salmon thanks for the tag lol

[ivory salmon]

haha finally can tag you @unique creek

[unique creek]

yup haha

[languid kiln]

@turbid sparrow I was planning on doing straight + horizontal rivers and little lakes

But imm really at bad at using the tools and its hard for me

im tryna have this kinda asian theme to it xd

[turbid sparrow]

Just be careful not to make your island too hard to navigate, you can only have 8 bridges total

[wide shard]

8 bridges and 8 inclines total

[languid kiln]

Ohhh ty i didnt know that

[wide shard]

Also we cant change our beach river entry points. Right?

[turbid sparrow]

If you have too many rivers you can end up having to pole vault everywhere

[languid kiln]

Rn i only got two bridges

[turbid sparrow]

yeah river entry points are locked

[heavy summit]

Speaking of hard to navigate, i heard someone put nook across a river so all the rich turnip people had to sacrifice a slot to hold a pole vault

[wide shard]

You can cirumvent the bridge stuff with small ledges in between to hop over

[wise slate]

i wish you could

i want to add another

[languid kiln]

should i try to go off of a layout or do what i do rn and change when i have able sister qr

[cerulean junco]

Hello! I have alot of free space on my island and wondering if anyone wants to visit it and give me ideas! if you are interested dm me !

[turbid sparrow]

ultimately you can do whatever you want

you can always try something and change it later

[languid kiln]

Ah ty for advice

[woven drift]

guys with happy island designer how do u save it to load it later it only saves as png

[crimson light]

yeah same

[daring abyss]

does anyone have any ideas for a mountain entrance?

[woven drift]

@ivory salmon that was a very nice tour, thanks for sharing

[chrome mango]

hi guys 😦 im sorry for asking here but does anyone have the bench recipe? i will trade :((

[clever minnow]

@chrome mango #furniture-trade

[tawdry palm]

@ anyone with orchards :> how big is yours? im debating if i should go for a 5x7

[solemn bronze]

thats a good size

[crimson bramble]

Hey! I’m currently working on a wedding area and need some ideas! What are your suggestions? Thanks!

[ivory salmon]

@ivory salmon that was a very nice tour, thanks for sharing
@woven drift thank you! more to come, there's one for tomorrow and the next day ❤️

[marble stump]

@crimson bramble there are flower bouquet stands that would look good also there was a rose petal code somewhere in paths that would work too. And you can do that at the beach maybe? And put a bunch of chairs for the guests. The shell arc works there

[ivory salmon]

Let me know if you want your islands to be toured, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

[unique locust]

I’m looking for diner inspirations if anyone can post and tag me in it ✨

[woven drift]

im thinking of doing a fairy forest themed island if anyone has any ideas or inspo dm me!<3

[somber star]

@unique locust Still a w.i.p but here's mine

[crimson bramble]

@marble stump I have the flower stands and I’m probably going to use it. I was thinking of making two venues. One on the beach with the shell theme and a more flowery woodsy type. Not sure about the colors? I have the Sakura branches and bonsais and petals but I don’t want it to be all pink 😪 I wish they would make a flower arch because that would be perfect!

[marble stump]

I agree! A flower arch would be so pretty. Wasn’t there a autumn themed one or do I remember wrong?

[crimson bramble]

I saw this on YouTube and want to go this route but with my take on it. I think it’s so cute! It’s be cool to host a wedding on my island

[marble stump]

Why don’t you just put that stone arch one, it’s simple but would definitely add something to it?

[crimson bramble]

@marble stump yeah! I would be down to change it. That’s be so cute. So tempted to TT To the fall time 😭

[marble stump]

Instead of the sakura piles look for petal path codes

The roses ones was super pretty, there’s also sakura ones

They are more decent

[woven drift]

im going to be making my island into a fairy forest theme! pls dm me inspo or ideas ❤️

[crimson bramble]

Ooooh you’re right! I need so scower the internet! Or Pinterest

I’ve been looking at Pinterest for rustic weddings but i don’t know lol

[fair shadow]

🤔 is the grass around the paths too off coloured?

sorry for interrupting!

[crimson bramble]

I wish for furniture from pocket camp

There’s so many cute things in pocket camp 😭😫

[marble stump]

@fair shadow to me personally it is too light

[pastel crescent]

i don’t understand how y’all make these islands look so good i-

[marble stump]

I have that problem with stone paths that are too light

[crimson bramble]

Check this one out @fair shadow

They have grassy type

[marble stump]

The designs seem to look lighter when actually put on the island

[fair shadow]

oh interesting :0

[dapper ginkgo]

does anyone have any good path borders? The one I have doesn’t show at all

[fair shadow]

thank you @crimson bramble 💖

kinda sad the sound from the path goes away when you put a csutom design on top though :/

oh hm, that creator only has the flowers uploaded instead of the grass 😔

[dusty charm]

any criticism this is my first time 🥺?

[tacit scroll]

I decided to create a memorial for my late dog. The 5 am music and this memorial spot really have me in a certain mood

[soft cove]

@ivory salmon omg i saw your quick 5 star island vid a few days ago :0 didnt know the creator would actually be in this server 😭 i love ur content btw!!!

[eternal ginkgo]

is anyone else cutting off a river at the opening or should i try to make do with what i have😭

[hollow trail]

I am running out of ideas.

[crimson light]

@eternal ginkgo i cut one of mine off into a heart shape !

[woven drift]

@hollow trail thats amazing

Wait did i ping the right person oop my bad

Btw to everyone im going to be redoing my island tmr into a forest island pls dm me ideas

[eternal ginkgo]

im struggling to make my island look natural and forresty omg

[hollow trail]

@woven drift lol I am just about to say thank you.

[woven drift]

oh i did ping the right person hfkshf

[eternal ginkgo]

idk where i wana put anything 😭

[woven drift]

How have you all laid out your villagers?

sorry lmao its cuz your user went from so to sophia i was confused

[hollow trail]

@eternal ginkgo I found that woody looking furniture always do the trick.

[woven drift]

oof same kathy

[west marsh]

Should I put flowers on the side of the bench. I was thinking blue roses

[eternal ginkgo]

i guess im struggling more w the terraforming rather than actual decorating

[west marsh]

Should I put a rose where I am or leave it?

[woven drift]

i alr know my layout but

i dont want to put all the houses together to give it that forest vibe

so im struggling to find out which spots to lay it out

[eternal ginkgo]

my exact problem ^

[crimson light]

@west marsh i say yes :0

[crimson light]

idk why i mentally left out the last part of the question lol

[hollow trail]

You can put them up the hill in a similar but not uniform way and plant lots of pine tree in between. How about that? @woven drift

[woven drift]

:0 yess thats a good idea

thank u for the tips

[hollow trail]

My friend hide her own house in the hills. I think that is a good idea too. Make it looks like a forest for elf.

[woven drift]

thats cool

[pale pier]

can i ask, i need inspiration, on museum area, could ppl post pics of theirs for me so i can determine what to place around said area pls.

[woven drift]

ill probs put my museum in secret looking area to make it more magical looking idk

@reef sorrel wrong channel lmfao

[reef sorrel]

shit wrong

LMAO SRY

[obsidian summit]

This is the start of mine :] shops & museum are going to be at the top, just currently finishing the houses ! I've changed my island so many times but so far im happy with this layout

[hollow trail]

@pale pier this is mine heart shape islands on the map.

[pale pier]

@hollow trail ty bud for posting there, yeah im having a big image block for my area atm 😦

[woven drift]

Anyone else feel like the island is small 🥺 I’m running out of space

[dapper ginkgo]

yep🗿^

[woven drift]

Ikr lily

Like where am I gonna put the rest of the stuff

🥺 I wish we could expand or buy land idk

[obsidian summit]

that would be cool, like a tom nook land buying loan 😂

[woven drift]

Lmaoo yeah

They have so much furniture but the island is too small tbh

Once you start terraforming you realize it’s not as big as it looks in map

Ikr

🥺 I have so many ideas I haven’t done yet

[zenith laurel]

[summer sinew]

Would anyone know if theres an island layout tool online??

[woven drift]

yes um happy islander designer i think its called

[summer sinew]

that it is, thanks!!

[woven drift]

Np

[timber relic]

Can you place grown trees right on cliff edges? I would try it myself but umm I don’t have any trees TT

[heavy rune]

Trees have to be 1 block away from edges sadly

[timber relic]

Ugh damn ruined my grid but thankyou!!

[hearty remnant]

Would you do backyards or frontyards both would be 3 of length (no fence)

[dawn shadow]

How to get rid of villagers

Lol

[terse thicket]

what's your layout and do u want any theme

and which part r u currently working on

[granite hemlock]

well i'm looking for like a pink/white aesthetic and i'll send u my layout in 10 but i'm not working on any specific parts bc idk what to do lmao

[terse thicket]

oh it's okay, for a pink/white aesthetic, maybe start with a terracotta path with pink and white flowers lining the paths? that's a start at least

[granite hemlock]

thanks!

[terse thicket]

anytime :) if u need anthn else im here :))

[granite hemlock]

thank uuu :))

[languid kiln]

after a few mins of terraforming what yall thing

ignore top left and im strugglin so hard TnT

[hearty remnant]

Sorry a 4 large front yard or a 3 large backyard . Are backyards even decoratabke or is it useless bc the house won’t let u see

@languid kiln I think you’re good. Terraforming is the most hideous thing I swear I’ve been weeks al ready

[vivid dock]

HERE IS A GREAT IDEA for those of you who were writing here sad the other day about not being able to make empty buildings (for cafes, restaurants, etc.)

Make other Nintendo accounts/profiles and move into your island! Use those empty houses for indoor cafes and restaurants! 🤩

[languid kiln]

can animals visit ur home like new leag?

leaf**

[spice tendon]

no 😔😔

[chrome torrent]

Hey could someone give me advice on making porches for my Islanders

[robust ginkgo]

finally finished my diner, had to look everywhere for the pink ones haha

[crimson bramble]

Does anyone have the code for this path?

[vivid dock]

HERE IS A GREAT IDEA for those of you who were writing here sad the other day about not being able to make empty buildings (for cafes, restaurants, etc.)
@vivid dock @north saddle @woven drift

Regarding what we were talking about on two days ago 🙂

[hushed hare]

does anyone have any good wooden or brick pathway designs?

[vast quarry]

Can you make your bridge line up with the museum?

[north saddle]

loving my entrance so far

[granite hemlock]

i have no inspiration welp

[ocean grove]

Been wanting to do this ever since I found out terraforming was a thing in this game

I finally got around to it

[vivid dock]

Been wanting to do this ever since I found out terraforming was a thing in this game
@ocean grove That's exactly what I want to do too! But suuuuper big haha

Mind if I ask how you planned it out so that it is perfectly symmetrical?

[woven drift]

@vivid dock yes now I’m tempted to try it

[ocean grove]

Just do squares on top of squares

[woven drift]

I’d just need to make another housing area or shopping area

[vivid dock]

Ah i want mine to be circular but i'm really bad at these things so it is scary... squares sounds a lot friendlier xD

[woven drift]

@vivid dock just dig holes for measurements

It’s the easiest thing to do

Or flowers work too

[vivid dock]

Right!! 😮

[ocean grove]

Just remember bottom layer 7 by 7 and top layer is 5 by 5

And when you go to turn it into water always start from the top and work your way down

[autumn marsh]

Can anybody give me a good plot size big enough for a villager house and little yard? With fencing....

[marsh crest]

What is website to use costume island?

[woven drift]

ahhh i’ve kinda given up on my island because i’m not sure what to do anymore

Anyone wanna help me get rid of tree stumps and weeds ?

[brazen viper]

Anyone know what’s a good idea for a small area blocked off by water?

[north saddle]

small garden?

[wet comet]

[ivory schooner]

Hi guys, I am reaching out as I need desperate help... I have this small area to work with for my two stores.. any ideas on how I can improve it or any ideas?

I’m considering not having it raised. And have a similar design on ground level.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated ^_^

[lone pecan]

LF: someone to help me with design, as i'm at a creative block. FT: bells, NMT, fruit, anything

[last cape]

Any suggestion what to put here

[drifting lake]

How many trees are necessary for 5*? I went down from 4 to 3 stars terraforming and the complaint is that we need more nature. I’m assuming it’s because I chopped a lot of trees. Do I have to have trees in every area, or just a total number on the island? Do we know stuff like this yet?

[hollow vortex]

Any items that would help contribute to a chinese imperial garden theme? I mainly need some kind of centerpiece since gazebos aren't a thing in acnh

[north saddle]

oh man i wish those were a thing

[tribal thorn]

@hollow vortex the pagoda would work for that, but good luck getting one.

[next badger]

@ivory schooner isn’t one of the stores bigger then you have room for

[ivory schooner]

Hmm, I’m not sure about that, but I was told they were 4x3

I’ll have to measure it out.

[next badger]

@ivory schooner nooks cranny upgraded is 6x4 I believe

[ivory schooner]

Oh 😐

[barren tinsel]

How much space do you need to leave for ramps?

[ivory schooner]

I believe 3x2 but the third is the join to the top

[unique pond]

there has got to be a guide to summarise all the spaces for these things hahaha

[tribal thorn]

Running out of space to place stuff. And still only 4 stars

[next badger]

I thought bridges were a 4x4

[tribal thorn]

bridges are 4x3

[next badger]

Ah

And I think for a 5 star rating you need a mixture of fences, DIY furniture, Mile furniture and nooks cranny furniture

[tribal thorn]

yea I know I need more non DIY furniture based on the official guide. I have 90 tree's and 802 flowers. so scenery is fine

[north saddle]

holy

802 flowers

howd you even count that

[tribal thorn]

I just counted each section wrote it down. then added it up with a calculator

[next badger]

Lmao

[placid dove]

looking for someone to help me design my island as i’m at a creative block. willing to pay bells for an island layout idea

[granite hemlock]

aurora me too lmao

[placid dove]

just wanna be able to design something 😩

[tribal thorn]

I have too many idea's that end up being impossible to do. and end with no clue what I want to do.

[woven drift]

What could I put in empty spaces like these? Should I just plant trees and flowers, or are there any small projects or furniture I could put?

[granite hemlock]

i wish i had too many ideas i have 0

[tribal thorn]

well none of my idea's worked. so that is the same as having 0

[bronze urchin]

@granite hemlock same. I have absolutely NO idea what to do with like over half of my town

sigh

[granite hemlock]

@bronze urchin like i know i want to make it detailed and cute but i have absolutely no idea what to do

[uneven falcon]

Not done — got rid of my noisy waterfall entrance for something more open/less cluttered

[bronze urchin]

@granite hemlock same i want to have like little convenient areas like a cafe or smth but i can literally NEVER find furniture and everyone wants an arma nd a leg for that stuff

*arm and a leg

[hearty remnant]

Front or backyard?

[placid dove]

i’m hell tempted to turn the whole island into a swimming pool

[fringe hemlock]

hi does anyone have the link to this picture

[granite hemlock]

@bronze urchin yeah i spent 76 NMT just cataloging items 🤦🏼‍♀️

[bronze urchin]

@granite hemlock yeah i haven't gotten into that because i struggle with getting nmts but it really sucks to have to spend so much on furniture that really isn't worth that much in the grand scheme of things

[granite hemlock]

@bronze urchin yeah

[tribal thorn]

I have been trying to get the full set of all the bears and panda's in every colour so i could make a teddy bear picnic area

[bronze urchin]

I'm really kicking myself because i seriously just put flowers everywhere thinking that looked good. Just because it looked good in acnl doesn't mean it works here ick
@tribal thorn aw that'd be cute

[uneven falcon]

@tribal thorn ive got a lot of bears if you wanna catalogue them! I’ve also got (I think) baby bear in my nooks on the table thing

[hollow vortex]

Where can I find a guide for getting 5 stars?

[indigo sierra]

I like front yards!

[tribal thorn]

these are from the official guide https://imgur.com/FNsjIsj https://imgur.com/Aips2fG https://imgur.com/3kq6Ue4 https://i.imgur.com/bX9TFbh.jpg

[viscid aurora]

Took some editing to make the shape good but now I just have to fill my crescent moon mountain 👌

[last cape]

Any suggestion on what to put here?

[tribal thorn]

the gong might look good there if you have it

[last cape]

I have it

Thanks

[woven drift]

Heya what to change

I'm reaching the end of my ability lmao

Do I need more water

[tribal thorn]

I think you need more paths

[woven drift]

:P wot

[tribal thorn]

😋 I was kidding

[woven drift]

What can I put in empty spaces like these, should I just have some plants? Isabelle says I need more furniture, so should I add small pieces?

I put flowers everywhere

That's a good idea, I could make some small fenced areas with the dirt path

[tribal thorn]

Isabelle lies. she keeps saying I lack scenery and need more fence's. its not true

[woven drift]

oof

Furniture in general helps

[woven drift]

Fiences can help

Ll show you what I did for fences

I've got two chunks of land for a pool and cafe, I might expand those a little, add fenced gardens. Then small furniture like benches and lamposts around.

Here's what I plan for pathways

[tribal thorn]

I have fences around everything

[woven drift]

Then the WIP cafe

Yeah, I gave every villager a little side area with furniture

Then a couple fences around furniture, like a backing to benches

[tribal thorn]

Even my outdoor fossils

[woven drift]

Working on getting more fossils for a little museum area

[woven drift]

ooo

I need to really get down and work on areas

[tribal thorn]

I really need to catalog more outdoor type furniture

[fathom depot]

100k for anyone who will make me get 3 stars im on 2 rn

[woven drift]

I have this awkward thin piece of land, I could turn it into an orchard

[tribal thorn]

I got to 3 star by just increasing my town population to 9

I reduced my fruit orchids to just 2 groups of 10 in 2 thin rows

[hearty remnant]

Front or backyard:(

[maiden root]

frontyard looks really nice! ^w^

[tribal thorn]

I prefer front yards, that can be accessed. villager will sometimes sit on any chairs you place.

[hearty remnant]

I mean there’s access to backyard through a one block path . But true . The main problem is you can’t really see whatever you place in backyard

But frontyard has the problem of less space due to house entrance haha

[stone whale]

you can take really cute pics with your house in the background if you do a front yard tho

[nova vale]

I wish I was as creative as you guys omgosh

[stone whale]

ummm so maybe i have a favourite villager

[hearty remnant]

@nova vale my island is a mess I have nothing done and have more than a 100 hours 🤧

Only the shop area but barely any decoration

Dw terraforming is a nightmare

[nova vale]

Im genuinely in awe of all these pictures. I dont have a single idea for my own island at all

[stone whale]

oh absolutely, i’ve sunk so much time into terraforming. a good tip is to plan out your pathways and build around that

[hearty remnant]

Actually I would say first place buildings

And build around it

[tribal thorn]

nah you can always move buildings. i have moved mine a lot

[stone whale]

also maybe check if the villagers you place together get along.... i made that mistake and now my favourites bicker outside their houses

[hearty remnant]

I got my shop area idea from a YouTube video. They’re just at the entrance

[tribal thorn]

that is why I made my Wishlist only villager that get along with each other

[nova vale]

to be fair I dont know much about my villagers because I was promised a desert island and then I had to have 10 strangers move in so I placed them all on a side island ;D

[hearty remnant]

YouTube “5 star islands haha”

[nova vale]

yeah I did some google searching but its hard to see from that, youtube is next

[hearty remnant]

For inspiration . There was this really popular video of a girl that had restafurants at the back of the shop

[tribal thorn]

but saying that skye does need to learn to stop spoiling the ending of everyone favourite book. she has done it twice now to 2 different villagers.

[nova vale]

Id love an outdoor eatery and an outdoor gym

skye is a menace who likes those kinds of people

[stone whale]

Bud kept pestering others about muscles so i shipped him outta the island

[woven drift]

sorry to bug you all but would anyone maybe want to help me kinda plan the layout for my island? i had an idea but it kinda fell thru (TT)

[tribal thorn]

My shop is still a work in progress

[nova vale]

Im still learning with flooring and stuff, but I kinda want it all to be uniformed so I need to find fences that go with the flooring I downloaded I think

[tribal thorn]

I am just using the path's that come with the terraforming tool. haven't bothered with custom path's

[scarlet bobcat]

I made a lil picnic area in front of my waterfall pit

[north saddle]

i had a dream where there was this mini island you could buy from nook, like a mystery island

and the entire purpose of that island is more of like, a tourist spot island where you had to entertain certain guests like in pocket camp

and if you entertain the guests, they could move onto your island

but the guests that show up depends on the furniture you lay out

imagine if we had a smaller island we could decorate

[nova vale]

I need something super uniformed but also cute but also ... in rows ? my brain is so conflicted. Terraforming will kill me haha

[woven drift]

Little Market

[north saddle]

that chair and table in the middle looks so lonely

[woven drift]

agree, add more chairs and maybe a biggest table and it would looks super nice

Thanks

This is my Museum entrance, how so you Like it?

it’s cute ! maybe add more flowers on the right corner

This is my Little House space

really nice

[rain verge]

Agreed

[limber depot]

Awww so cute!

[woven drift]

Oh i Love the Jacket thing

thank you ! also this pic made me realize there is a hair on my screen lol

[limber depot]

My house area is loosely inspired by Aerith's in final fantasy vii so lots of cliffs and a waterfall

[woven drift]

I will get the Upgrade tomorrow

[misty anvil]

Which do yall think looks better here, the fan palm or cypress plants?

[stone whale]

cypress!

[woven drift]

I think the cypress

[rain verge]

I think the palm looks a bit better but they both look great

[scenic blaze]

agree on cypress!

[limber depot]

I agree with hut

[misty anvil]

Majority says cypress, so cypress it is, lol thanks yall

[visual carbon]

anyone else here facing the same problem as i do? I got like the Resident Services Hall close to the Airport. Can anyone advice how would i design this thing XD

[astral turret]

can someone play new leaf 3ds

[scenic blaze]

i feel like people with resident services far away have trouble, and people with it close by have trouble, and nobody's satisfied with placement lol

[limber depot]

So my resident services is rather close to my airport as well. So I just did a sort of fountain display in between the two

[terse topaz]

hey guys, can you get paths before you unlock the island designer app? PewDiePie has paths in his AC video but he doesn't have the app, but I'm wondering if he did it in a different way

I want to start connecting things together, it looks bad with just grass lol

[visual carbon]

And then again, I'm bad at designing

[scenic blaze]

you can lay custom designs, but they don't count as pathing

[long geyser]

@visual carbon# I wish I could figure that out myself I’ve been trying different things but none look right

[scenic blaze]

lavender is a cute town name!

[terse topaz]

Yeah all I care about atm is the aesthetic of it. how do I make custom paths?

[grand marsh]

I want a little thought to a simple question. Pathways, 2 tiles or 4 tiles wide?

[scenic blaze]

you can download custom paths at able sisters with a creator code, or you can make them yourself with the design app

i use two tile pathways

[visual carbon]

lavender is a cute town name!
@scenic blaze oh thank you! 😄 island is still a mess though and waaayyy too simpleee

[terse topaz]

cool, thanks! I haven't unlocked able sisters yet, but it's good to know I don't have to complete the entire game before I can unlock aesthetic paths lol. thanks!

[scenic blaze]

game definitely isn't completed when you unlock terraforming lol IMO it's only the beginning. but yw 🙂

[visual carbon]

when mabel is in your island buy anything from her one day she will build able sisters

[terse topaz]

Ah okay, it just said that in one article I read about the app that said KK comes to perform and that's the end of the "main story", if you will

[rain verge]

@visual carbon Maybe you could move the museum up to the little podium you have set up at the top center of your island?

[grand marsh]

Yeah, I unlocked terraforming about 5 days ago and I just finished getting my island just like I made it in the designer tool. The real part begins now in designing and landscaping.

[waxen knoll]

lmao I had already started working on my island and actually terraform it a lot but.... I hated my design and I'm trying to redo.... Problem is I'm at 10 residents I struggle a lot trying to move house* 😂

[visual carbon]

@visual carbon Maybe you could move the museum up to the little podium you have set up at the top center of your island?
@rain verge i would want to tbh but i kinda want all buildings are equal in glitter but yeah im bad at designing XD

[woven drift]

the fact that you can only move 1 house/ a day is really annoying

[rain verge]

^^

[grand marsh]

I started with the top of my town then moved all the houses then terraformed the rest of my town into shape.

I made sure to get them in place first before anything.

[long geyser]

Why don’t we take all of the houses and move them somewhere else

All at once though

[visual carbon]

^

i support this

[waxen knoll]

I agree lol I wish we could move many at once

[woven drift]

especially when a house is like one space wrong placed and you have to put it away and then put it in the good spot, whole thing takes 2 days and 100k

Do you Guys have all Houses in one Line or are they Like everywhere

[long geyser]

especially when a house is like one space wrong placed and you have to put it away and then put it in the good spot, whole thing takes 2 days and 100k
@woven drift literally the only reason I started using fencing

[grand marsh]

I'm waiting for the guy who starts animal crossing today and names his town snoopdog.

It has to be a thing.

[long geyser]

Do you Guys have all Houses in one Line or are they Like everywhere
@woven drift I do rows of 2

[grand marsh]

I did two sectors on both sides of my house 5 and 5

[languid chasm]

i have my houses all over

[waxen knoll]

I have all my house to move... Wanna do a resident place, I had one but I choose a wrong emplacement and put WAY too many tiles between them cause I was trying to do a patio thing but realized later that this took out way too many place that I could use for something else.

[nova vale]

And then again, I'm bad at designing
@visual carbon genuinely as an ocd person love this. this is mostly what Ive been trying to achieve minus the museum placement

[woven drift]

My Houses are 2, 4, 4 and im thinking aboht moving everything but so much Work and i dont know...

[nova vale]

when you move houses in endgame is it still 24h a house

because idk if I can cope with that again

[rain verge]

@woven drift that looks great

[visual carbon]

now i feel like im a mediocre designer XD

[languid chasm]

callista 2.0 almost done

[long geyser]

Although everyone is moving to the top now

[woven drift]

@long geyser that spiral lake is so cool

[long geyser]

@woven drift aaaa thank you!! Took me longer than I thought it would :,,)

[visual carbon]

anyone else annoyed when designing and its not in the middle.? LMAO so frustrating

[nova vale]

Anyone that knows if its still 24h to move a house when youre terraforming ?

[ebon tulip]

@nova vale yes

[nova vale]

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[woven drift]

the museum is always off with everything lol

[ebon tulip]

This helped me heaps

[visual carbon]

And then again, I'm bad at designing
@visual carbon just look at mine. not even once in the middle XD

ooof

[long geyser]

@visual carbon it looks super organized that's not bad whatsoever

[woven drift]

@visual carbon that’s super nice

[ebon tulip]

I’ve given up on making my map look nice ;-;

[mystic crown]

Am terraforming all my map but I have all building and bridge >>

[long geyser]

@ebon tulip same I'm constantly demolishing and replacing like I barely have a lake right now lmao

[visual carbon]

I dont even know where to put this and there. or im just being pessimistic about designing XD

[long geyser]

@visual carbon your layout is great! Are you doing a theme or anything?

[celest field]

What dirt path looks better ?

[woven drift]

I also have no structure really...

[visual carbon]

@visual carbon your layout is great! Are you doing a theme or anything?
@long geyser well. kinda. i planned on making it "Lavender" XD putting a lot of Purple and Blue Flowers. Anyone have spares? XD

[unreal nebula]

Can I not build a bridge like this? I swear I’ve seen people do similar things to this

[woven drift]

at this point i just want to put waterfalls everywhere but i don’t even know where to start

[scenic blaze]

sam the man the left one works better

[long geyser]

@celest field middle

[visual carbon]

I also have no structure really...
@woven drift still better than mine though

[scenic blaze]

travers that won't work, the water has to be on the same level as the cliff and your water is a level below

[celest field]

me: what looks better.. left or right
ambot: middle

[mystic crown]

Should I TT for my structures to move faster? 🤔🤔 I never TT before

[scenic blaze]

lmao

i'm on team left

[misty anvil]

Which do yall think looks better here, fountain or no fountain?

[scenic blaze]

fountain

move it up a block tho

[woven drift]

oof @celest field i just noticed what you were talking about lol, left is better

[celest field]

LMFAO

[long geyser]

@celest field okay serious answer is left

[celest field]

ok.. both ppl say left

[summer crater]

anyone have any thoughts on how to improve my cafe?

[celest field]

ok.. gimme a min i have another opinion

[woven drift]

is that a pattern on the ground ? thats so cool

[north saddle]

bruh

the more i build, the more i become experienced

[woven drift]

anyone have any thoughts on how to improve my cafe?
@summer crater
Maybe a plant or Decoration Like that

[north saddle]

also the more my dissapointed i get in my previous builds

[summer crater]

yeah! love the pattern. took like 9 slots out of my custom thing but totally worth

[north saddle]

im gonna need to redo my entire island the moment i finish building the last piece lol

[woven drift]

do you have a code @summer crater ?

[summer crater]

lemme pull it one sec

[long geyser]

@north saddle RIGHT!?!!? My ideas in the beginning seem so weak vs what I've been doing recently

@summer crater heyy can i have the qr code for the flooring. its awesome i meant the one under the table and chair . Thank you!

[summer crater]

@visual carbon just linked it in the twitter post above!

[scenic blaze]

i don't love the tiki torch, it doesn't fit with the flooring pattern or how you customized the furniture, i would use a white floor lamp or something similar. maybe even the palm tree lamp DIY

[turbid basin]

do you guys think the log staircase would be better or the stone staircase if im trying to use it with the stone arch for a naturey feel

[visual carbon]

@visual carbon just linked it in the twitter post above!
@summer crater thank you

[summer crater]

OH @scenic blaze great idea. I do have the palm tree diiy

[scenic blaze]

i'm using the natural incline (cheapest one) for my natural, foresty island

[long geyser]

@turbid basin stone or natural

[scenic blaze]

nice!!! maybe customized yellow or blue? i forget all the customization options

[turbid basin]

@long geyser @scenic blaze im trying to make like a japanese styled shrine that's y

so i think it'd be best to have steps but i'm not sure which type

[long geyser]

Oh than stone I thought log would fit better but I was mistaken @turbid basin

@long geyser I'm doing the same currently

[turbid basin]

alright, ty for your input

[long geyser]

Np!!!

[languid scaffold]

Anyone have a island I can tour? I don’t know what to do with my island and I need some inspo lol

[long geyser]

@languid scaffold mine is heavily under construction otherwise I'd say yes

[languid scaffold]

Ahaha yeah same with mine

[woven drift]

Anyone have a island I can tour? I don’t know what to do with my island and I need some inspo lol
@languid scaffold
You can come to me

[hushed thicket]

I got a question guys, why shouldn't I chop almost all my native fruit trees and plant foreign fruit?

[woven drift]

A Lot of people do that i think

But you could also sell your native fruits on othr islands
And maybe you want every fruit on your island

[dreamy compass]

I'm trying to plan my buildings based on location in the landscape instead of based on what's most convenient for pathways. What do you think of each of the buildings' locations?

[north saddle]

speaking of native fruits, i wish there was something that made them more special on our islands

like they grow faster compared to other fruits

[dreamy compass]

don't pay attention to that grey square in the center btw, not supposed to be there

[woven drift]

Any Tipps?

[foggy oxide]

Anyone have any anime islands I can visit?

[scenic blaze]

swap the iron table and chairs for something more rustic, add a couple flowers, otherwise looks cute

a white and a yellow cosmo next to the hay bed

[unique pond]

i think you need some trees, maybe near the stall stand

[pastel pike]

Where i can ask this ?
Who have south island pleaseee dm me if you have i give 20k bells

[grizzled girder]

Normal bamboo cant be placed too closely together as shoots need to grow. But if you pick the entire bamboo from the mysterious islands (doesnt grow shoots). Are you able to place them closer together?

[scenic blaze]

as far as i know it works the same as trees where you need a lot of space to grow it, but once it's full grown it only needs one square around in every direction

[woven drift]

i think you need some trees, maybe near the stall stand
@unique pond

Thanks, i have trees in the right and left of the picture

[boreal rapids]

Can anyone help me and show me your home location

if you have terraforming did you put it on first second or third level ??? :))) 🥰

[grizzled girder]

@scenic blaze thanks friend

[vast zealot]

@pastel pike Check out #690093605821480980 and #mysterybags-and-yardsales

[shadow sorrel]

hornsby

[umbral trench]

[shadow sorrel]

i think cedar trees would look nice!

[umbral trench]

I'll try putting one on the right side

[lusty blaze]

Guys i need help. Im redesigning my island, and so far I have a layout im really happy with. But i still need to place down my villager's neighborhood + campsite, and i have a lot of empty space, so I would really appreciate some tips on what to do

[woven drift]

any ideas on what i can do in the dark green areas/beach areas?

[charred sand]

Anyone have an outside concert area they could show me? I want to build one but have no idea where to start

[worn geode]

forgot to take a pic before but this is like a little way into construction

[misty anvil]

What do yall think, floor lights or no floor lights?

[rich light]

Floor lights!

[umbral trench]

lights but diff colors

[unique locust]

Does anyone have a garden on their island?? I’m kinda not understanding how to make a garden plaza and would like ideas! Pls tag me

[languid oyster]

will someone design a layout for me? i’ll pay 1.5 millon bells

[misty anvil]

I'd use different floor light colors, but I only have those colors and I'm not sure if I can customize its color or not. I do think I looks better with the lights in general tho

[umbral trench]

gotta catalog diff colors from other peeps

[celest field]

Which path looks better of the 3

[rain ferry]

is there a qr or design for sand over gravel or something, to make it realistic

[autumn pivot]

Opening island for feedback and tours im not done yet so if anyone wants to see a work in progress

[hazy bough]

sure im interested

[celest field]

Anyone have an opinion?

[vocal mica]

whats a good layout for a residential area with your villagers ?

[umbral trench]

stone one

[celest field]

@umbral trench hey

[cloud trellis]

need advice for the red circle

what should i make

[grand marsh]

My final design build, all the red is space to work with and make it full of life on the game.

[celest field]

@grand marshhi

[grand marsh]

Sup, hard at work and getting items and recipes to build and expand my town.

[woven drift]

that looks incredible

AH I ONLY HAVE LIKE 5 MORE CUSTOM DESIGN SPACES LEFTTTT

@celest field I use terra-cotta for everything

SAMEE

What are nice ways to decorate paths? I've been adding lampposts at corners so far, and want to add benches in some areas, also waiting to buy some pansy seeds for the border. What else could I add?

[tiny sparrow]

Custom designs over top

Garbage cans

[woven drift]

I need to order the one at the nookstop, thanks for reminding me

[latent heart]

My island may be a hot mess but I'm kinda proud of my little bell bag design to go with my entrance. Especially since it was freehanded 😁

[granite hemlock]

should i do white wooden paths or regular wooden paths?

[tiny sparrow]

Tbaf lookssick

[granite hemlock]

or mix both

[woven drift]

aw thats nice

[latent heart]

I'm just glad I finally settled on one thing for my island lol I change my mind too much when I'm in the middle of a project

and thanks guys!

[soft cove]

this is a cry for help. i plan on moving the shops in the highlighted area but idk how exactly i should place them :') criticism is appreciated in general

[woven drift]

just plan em randomly

[long geyser]

Almost have everyone moved into new residential area but its lacking around their homes

[celest field]

Which one looks nicer?

[woven drift]

first one

[sturdy crane]

Depends on the decor imo

[long geyser]

First unless your planting flowers ect

[woven drift]

^^

[celest field]

So if I plant flowers in that spot..

Then... the 2nd?

[woven drift]

Yeah (put dirt under the flowers)

[celest field]

Ooo

[quasi geyser]

I need help. I set down all of the paths to see what I want but I’m still not sure. I’m stuck on of I should move my villagers up top by the red line for aesthetics or if I should move them to the bottom right where the yellow line is for convenience and to give me more space. Thoughts?

[grave ferry]

anyone have any inspiration pictures i can use for my flower garden?

[long geyser]

I have what pictures of what not to do xD

[grave ferry]

right now i just have them in a corner cross breeding, but i want to move them towards my entrance and make it more pleasing to look at

[stray monolith]

hi!! i'm looking to restart my island and am in need of a good name. i have a couple tbd already and am going for an autumn, whimsical, fantasy, eerie vibe. any suggestions at all, new names or if u like the ones i have, would be really appreciated! tysm :)

here's what i have so far:
-Pumpkin
-Larkspur
-Thicket
-Thistle
-Foxtrot
-Whisper

[misty anvil]

@stray monolith foxtrot sounds good for that

[stray monolith]

@misty anvil yea thats one of the ones i really like! im also fond of thicket and larkspur. oh, and if it's any help, my character is most likely going to be named Finch!

[long geyser]

At one point they were in cross breeding formation but they've turned into a monster that I cant find the willpower to organize @grave ferry

[misty anvil]

That makes it better sounding in my head @stray monolith, Finch from Foxtrot just rolls of the tongue nice, lol

[stray monolith]

it does!! ty for ur input @misty anvil ^^

[misty anvil]

Anytime @stray monolith

[grave ferry]

@long geyser yeah i can't decide if i want to keep the same breed together or put similar colors together

[long geyser]

@stray monolith I love Larkspur it's so unique I love the way it sounds

[stray monolith]

@long geyser aw tysm!! at first i was going to do larkspur but i want to make sure im positive on the decision so im trying a lot of things :)

[manic nebula]

How does my jurassic park gate look?

[finite cargo]

Thoughts on my library? Im really struggling 😪

[grave ferry]

@manic nebula add some fire on those elevated areas and it'll be perfect

[manic nebula]

@manic nebula add some fire on those elevated areas and it'll be perfect

Campfire or tiki torches?

[finite cargo]

I need advice on how to make it cozier pls!

[grave ferry]

@manic nebula maybe tiki torches next to the sign and then campfire on the highest part

[long geyser]

@grave ferry it's a constant flower struggle cant figure out how to organize them so I just dont go to flower warfield and act like they're not consuming one side of my island

[grave ferry]

@long geyser hahaha me right now. it'll probably the last part of my island that i design. i wanna use where my flowers are now as an outdoor cafe though

[autumn pivot]

okay sorry now im going to open my island for tours and feedback

[manic nebula]

I also made a T-rex part, I am planning on letting it like this but help is always appreciated

[autumn pivot]

its a work in progress though so its not even close to done

[glass crane]

when u make ur house all the way on top of a mountain to escape all of your ugly villagers

[languid jungle]

I need advice on how to make it cozier pls!
@finite cargo I think I would try using the book shelf’s as a fence kinda. So having them all the way around. Add a floor and light sources, a few potted plants, more of those books lying around

[glass crane]

also this is why there’s that weird looking area with a bunch of tiny rivers xD ROKSTONE NATIONAL PARK WIP BABYYYYY

[rich tree]

Omg that’s so pretty!

[finite cargo]

@finite cargo I think I would try using the book shelf’s as a fence kinda. So having them all the way around. Add a floor and light sources, a few potted plants, more of those books lying around
@languid jungle lamps! that's what I'm missing! I'm putting more fauna up right now, and I'll get more books to lay about! Thank you!!

[glass crane]

Thanks!! 😄

[finite cargo]

wow willow that's incredible!!!

[glass crane]

I’m basically turning my island into a giant hiking scenic landscape national park camping type of vibe xD

[pale spade]

How do yall plan your layouts with waterfalls and that kinda stuff?

[glass crane]

thank you!!! 🥺

[autumn pivot]

mine just sort of happened

[glass crane]

I honestly just winged it lollllll

[autumn pivot]

there is a super goffy party of my map

[finite cargo]

that's such a great idea willow!

I think I'm good at decor (minus my library right now) but terraforming? I'm crap at it.

[pale spade]

Like ive got no idea on how to continue from now on because ive done the villager area and town square kinda area already and i just have no ideas in my head on how to continue

[finite cargo]

I just don't have a good vision when it comes to terraforming

[glass crane]

just make waterfalls and parks and little areas for different things

People make cafes, parks, gardens, camping areas, beach areas, etc

you can do a bunch of different stuff to fill up space

[autumn pivot]

@pale spade you can come check out my island, it a work in progress so if you want to see it in action

[pale spade]

@glass crane ok thanks ill def try some of that

[glass crane]

my advice for rivers and waterfalls is to just try and make it look n a t u r a l with no harsh square edges lolll

and not symmetrical

[finite cargo]

@pale spade I can link you my island twitter? I have pics of all my areas! diner, cafe, concert, boardwalk, library, etc!

[iron kite]

anybody wanna come to "HIGH-LIKELY" the RICHEST island in animal crossing. (its ALMOST 100% DONE!)

[glass crane]

Let the river flowwwww however it feels LOL

[pale spade]

@pale spade you can come check out my island, it a work in progress so if you want to see it in action
@autumn pivot i def would but cant connect to other people unless you have a lan cable or whatever thats called because somehow that was the only way it worked for me

@pale spade I can link you my island twitter? I have pics of all my areas! diner, cafe, concert, boardwalk, library, etc!
@finite cargo yea id appreciate that 🙂

[vestal gorge]

@finite cargo pls use DMs to send link

[finite cargo]

@vestal gorge I did 🙂 wasn't sure if links were allowed so I dm'd by default lol

[vocal mica]

how r yall so good at this i still need lots of help planning my residential area:(

[pure cairn]

any ideas for my island's entry?,,,

[celest field]

Which one?

[woven drift]

Any ideas for this place?

[ancient heron]

Can someone make me an island layout? DM me pls

[fervent cliff]

2nd one @celest field

[rich tree]

My entrance so far!

[vale nymph]

@rich tree That's cool but keep in mind that special NPCs like Flick or CJ can spawn on a single tile and get stuck there

[floral topaz]

anyone got any zen gardens i can get some inspo 🙂

[rich tree]

Oh that’s fine with me haha

[calm oasis]

planned my entire island today!! this is super rough and messy and it will be a tad simpler but you get the idea!! i was trying to create something i hadnt seen anyone do before. i unlock terraforming tomorrow and im so excited!!!!

[silver sorrel]

@mossy bolt it's a really good idea, but kinda tricky to execute due to cliffs being really high and the visual point wouldn't be as good

it'd have to be like the cliffs are on the left and right and the river flows downwards

[vale nymph]

@calm oasis I would love to have an island like that but I'm too invested in flower breeding so I need too much space

[calm oasis]

aha yeah ive been breeding hybrids since the first day so ive got all the ones i want. one part of that though is literally a glen with just hybrid flowers everywhere

[inner cedar]

Hey guys, I need some advice. I'm trying to build a crescent moon shaped lake in between cliffs and I don't know which size would be better. The bigger is much more detailed and looks better on the map (tried it ingame but destroyed it due to wrong place lol) but it takes a huge amount of space on my island. The smaller one looks... okay but it doesn't take too much space so I can focus on other areas more. What do you think?

[calm oasis]

@inner cedar personally i would do the big one cause its super unique so it can be something cool people see when they come to your island that makes it stand out but honestly do what you like best!!

[woven drift]

can someone please help me design a part to my island please dm me

[mossy bolt]

@silver sorrel yea I wouldn't try it myself it sounds too ambitious lmao im still figuring out this terraform thing. But if someone tried and did it it would be a-ma-zing

[inner cedar]

I like the bigger one better too but I'm afraid I'm running out of space :/ I'm trying to make a super cool campsite, orchard, bamboo/spa area and villager area left on cliffs.

[surreal thicket]

Hey im pretty far behind of all the other players but I just made a rough plan and i have no idea where to put my villagers

[heavy summit]

Just take ur time its not a race lol

[calm oasis]

@inner cedar i think you could fit that all. ive found that the island is bigger than you think

[primal fiber]

im new and behind as well, so how is this as a start of the exterior of my museum, opinions/advice? (i might replace the fossils)

[inner cedar]

@calm oasis Thanks for your opinion. I guess you're right. I'm gonna play around with Happy Island Designer a bit. Thank god that website exists! I would be so frustrated if I tried that ingame and it wouldn't fit xD

[waxen hinge]

Was map showcase turned into this?

[pliant hazel]

yessir

[glass crane]

what is the thing you guys are using to plan out your island??

[pliant hazel]

Happy Island Designer

The link is in the pinned messages

[sick fjord]

Not sure where else to do this, but I can't get my island past 2 Stars and I'm not sure what else to try. Would anyone be able to visit and give opinions on what I can do. Dm me

[glass crane]

Ok thanks!

byron do you have 8 villagers?

[ivory condor]

Anyone have a big open shopping square? Need inspo on what to put in it...

[glass crane]

You need 8 villagers to get 3 stars

[sick fjord]

Yes, I have 8 villagers

[pliant hazel]

that's what you need for 2 stars

Isabelle tells you what you need to work on

[woven drift]

i need 5 star help

[glass crane]

Hmm.. Isabelle should tell you what you need more of towards the end of the island eval conversation

[sick fjord]

I have max villagers, a flower garden, all fruits, all tree types, 2 bridges, 2 inclines

She keeps saying Flowers

[heavy summit]

Then plant more flowers

[pliant hazel]

oof I'm at 2 stars too but that's cause I'm still in wip

[chrome prairie]

anyone has a fruit orchard I can take inspiration from?

[woven drift]

i need appealing seanary

[sick fjord]

This should be enough tho 😂

[woven drift]

no where near enough

[ivory condor]

Maybe she means u gotta spread em out to other parts of the island

[pliant hazel]

Is That all?

[ivory condor]

U need furniture and flowers all over the island

[woven drift]

anyone wanna see all my flowers?

[pliant hazel]

You need soooo much flowers

[heavy summit]

Ur gonna need more flowers than that

[sick fjord]

Wack

Thank you lol

[woven drift]

@sick fjord i can show u all mine

[surreal thicket]

I improved it a bit

I'm not sure bout the camping site

[tulip ridge]

I’m looking for Zenish items to put outside Zuckers house does anyone have any suggestions

[sick fjord]

@woven drift please

[woven drift]

ok i will dm u then

[hollow vortex]

Are any diy items better than others for getting to 5 star? More efficient? I've been putting a ton of raccoon statues and manhole covers.

[oak jungle]

How do you guys manage to get such symmetrical residential areas? I’m having a hard time spacing out the houses evenly. Does anyone have any examples of how they did their housing areas? c:

[rich tree]

I use fencing as guides

[rain verge]

is there anyway to move the plaza

[whole bear]

Any suggestions for my beachside house layout? (Mainly decor don't have terraforming yet!)

[pliant hazel]

I don't think so @hollow vortex

@rain verge nope

[rain verge]

I really like that beachouse!

also dang

[woven drift]

@whole bear a sand castle!

[misty anvil]

@whole bear I'd suggest some of the fishing tourney items, like the cooler and fishing rod stand

[pliant hazel]

It looks awesome, especially cause you can't terraform the beaches

[shadow fox]

Can someone show their garden examples?

[vivid dock]

Any suggestions for my beachside house layout? (Mainly decor don't have terraforming yet!)
@whole bear that looks soooo cute! +1 about sand castles!

[ivory condor]

@whole bear so cute! Maybe some white lanterns? A bench or chair here and there. Or like white cushions or something

[vivid dock]

quick question: what is the maximum number of houses/villagers that you can have?

[woven drift]

mind if i flex my flowers?

[misty anvil]

@vivid dock 10

[vivid dock]

thanks!

[misty anvil]

Np

[hybrid sorrel]

I need someone’s help. Preferably a person with a 5 star island rating. But I’m trying to figure out what to do with some layout stuff on my island so if someone could help me with that, much appreciated

[ivory condor]

Theres a garden channel too @woven drift lol

[hollow vortex]

Alright then hundreds of manholes it is

[ivory condor]

I have 5 stars if anyone wants to visit :)

[dapper ginkgo]

meee

[spice wagon]

Any tips on creating a garden for breeding?

[cerulean flume]

Tips for my creepy playground?

[rain verge]

a little bit more dark stuff? idk

also maybe a bit less symmetry

[whole bear]

@cerulean flume You should look around for the pentagram design / summoning circle

[dapper ginkgo]

@cerulean flume darker paths or custom ones

[ivory condor]

L0D4T if anyone wants to pop in.

Anyone have a cool boardwalk?

[patent sky]

I second darker paths or custom ones

@ivory condor casual day area + other side of island market boardwalk

[finite cargo]

Library is starting to come together a bit better!

[patent sky]

@finite cargo you could also do custom designs on simple panels!

Maybe between the corner of that bridge and the tree for a cozier feel

[finite cargo]

good idea! thank you!!

[charred mica]

Can I see how people set up their villagers homes? I'm having a big creative block haha

[mint perch]

I'm struggling with island layout with both my river mouths in the south and the resident services not centered. I mostly need help with setting up the river. First time playing AC, Any recommendations?

[oak jungle]

@mint perch I love your houses. :c I’m so jealous of that perfect spacing, haha.

[finite cargo]

My houses are all on the left

[patent sky]

@mint perch move your ables and nooks up to more around town hall area and do a nice winding path maybe?

[scenic blaze]

remember also that the river mouths don't have to be connected to each other! you can do different sized rivers that don't connect

[mint perch]

@patent sky I was thinking about moving them up! I didn't think about a winding path, thank you!

[scenic blaze]

danielle i really like how natural your layout looks

[finite cargo]

thank you! I've tried to keep terraforming to a minimum! I haven't changed the rivers at all. Only enough to make bridges fit correctly.

[finite cargo]

I like that!

[modern fern]

I'm trying to decide between brick and stone incline for the museum

What do you guys think fits more?

[finite cargo]

ooh. tough call

[scenic blaze]

stone i think

[finite cargo]

I think I'd do stone @modern fern

[woven drift]

I chose stone stairs.

[oak jungle]

Same, it breaks up the one-note color a little bit better.

[mint perch]

I chose stone because of the color as well

[woven drift]

Cuz it looks better with the museum, as it's walls r Grey

Its*

But I would switch the paths with the stone ones too...

[modern fern]

Thank you all! I'll go with stone then

[woven drift]

Anyway...
I have a problem with my island

[hollow vortex]

@finite cargo I'm so jealous of your resident services placement!

[modern fern]

Yeah @woven drift i'll make sure the path matches

[finite cargo]

@finite cargo I'm so jealous of your resident services placement!
@hollow vortex thats the general sentiment lol. I got really lucky.

[modern fern]

@hollow vortex Me too! So much space south of the island

[wicked reef]

Hey, anyone with a very developed island wanna let me tour theirs? I wanna visit some cool islands for inspo! DM me! 🙂

[woven drift]

How can I reorganize the rivers? And how can I make them fit with my hole island organization?

hey y’all 💕 I got a question. Would y’all put the museum on spot 1️⃣ and flatten the whole area 2️⃣ or would u put the museum on area 2️⃣?

the only negative thing would be h the long way

[finite cargo]

Sorry for spamming my library but I'm actually proud of it now!!

[cinder harbor]

It's really cool!

[woven drift]

it looks cozy 😻

[drifting canyon]

@woven drift i like the idea of putting the museum on 2 and decorating the space behind it

[woven drift]

I changed the airport entry with this inspiration, but with a tighter path only ftm

[finite cargo]

it looks cozy 😻
@woven drift this is what I was trying to do! It took me a while but it sounds like I'm finally getting there! Thank you!!

[woven drift]

@drifting canyon okay ty for ur idea!

[finite cargo]

Am I the only one with all my shops on first level?

[stable plank]

thought i’d share my hieroglyphics design. looking for the pyramid to complete this portion!

[finite cargo]

coolio!!

[drifting canyon]

yo does anyone know how to put paths underneath inclines cause im getting annoyed seeing that little spec of grass between the path and the mfin staircase

[stable plank]

i dont think you can sadly

[finite cargo]

gotta put down the path first

[drifting canyon]

dfkjgnfjnajhfhn

[finite cargo]

same with buildings

[amber garnet]

even that does not work the game will auto delete the path

[drifting canyon]

also jlub, those designs are fantastic

[amber garnet]

for ramps

[stable plank]

ty!

[finite cargo]

oh it will? I didn't know that

so how do you put custom designs on the panels?

[glad quarry]

Any tips on how to improve this fire dungeony area? (Inspired by the dude who made a LoZ dungeon)

[amber garnet]

you also cannot get pathing to go under bridges that are at an angle

[finite cargo]

do you just "display here" ?

[drifting canyon]

@glad quarry make it less grassy and lay on that stone flooring

[amber garnet]

the panel is customizable and the last option is the "custom desighn" option and you just customize the item

[finite cargo]

oh ok thank you chris

[glad quarry]

@drifting canyon around the whole area?

[terse thicket]

my island design so far is being a mess, i have no idea what to do and im really disappointed with all my ideas so far, what do u think i should do now

[novel pebble]

Dude Ok, I know it isnt confirmed and no one knows, BUT what would be the estimated size for Brewsters Cafe?

[amber garnet]

brewsters seems coded to the meuseum

[drifting canyon]

@glad quarry prolly just underneath the fencing and campfires on the fenced floor since thats what looks like the inside of the dungeon!

[glad quarry]

@terse thicket small cafe areas are always nice and not so time consuming! Might be a good place to start and lead on to other ideas

[novel pebble]

Ooo ok! So its going to be like City Folk?

[fierce dune]

@novel pebble everything else is between 4x5 to 4x7 (museum) so I'd imagine between then

[terse thicket]

@glad quarry oh ill try that then and then return/figure out my residential area, maybe i can still save it

thaank you :))

[woven drift]

@terse thicket i had the same thing but what i did was just look at other ppls islands and get inspiration so i did it area for area i just planned where what would go

[terse thicket]

@woven drift do u suggest i plan things more in depth instead of going with the flow

[fierce dune]

does anyone know how to plant tall weeds? or is it just a matter of planting a few and let rain do its work

[amber garnet]

nothing is 100% because its lines of code and not official buildings and stuff so patch could hit and it could be a seperae building, nothing is 100% when looking into code. because untill its released the code can be changed

[drifting canyon]

whale i think those sprout naturally on their own

[woven drift]

@terse thicket For me it helped planning everything like size wise and stuff because if i didn’t i would have to change everything up so i really planned everything but i think it depends what would suit better for u if ur more spontaneous or if u have to plan stuff out first

[patent sky]

I'm opening for tours after this group if anyone would like to come hang out

[drifting canyon]

@patent sky yes

[terse thicket]

@woven drift oh then ill try havint a slightly more rigid plan then, thanks for ur help :)

[true gazelle]

i built a brick staircase to go with my wood flooring and i'm having second thoughts.

[dapper ginkgo]

@patent sky metoo

[mint perch]

@patent sky Yes!

[woven drift]

@terse thicket yw 😊 hope u figure it out!

[fierce dune]

@drifting canyon ah ty!

[drifting canyon]

@fierce dune npnp!!

[woven drift]

sorry for asking again lmfao but where would u put the museum? spot 1 or 2?:0

[finite cargo]

2?

[novel pebble]

I'd say 1

[dapper ginkgo]

2

[woven drift]

@novel pebble should i flatten the whole second area? or leave it like that?

[untold jewel]

Looking for beach bar inspo😋

[novel pebble]

If you want it to look natural, then maybe leave it?

[woven drift]

@dapper ginkgo @finite cargo okay ty 🙏🏼

@novel pebble alright ty i’ll leave it then 😊

[finite cargo]

My island is cramped but like in a cozy way. Ya know?

[daring abyss]

@patent sky id love to come

does anyone have any tips on how to make natural looking rivers

[finite cargo]

FLORA IS SINGING TO JULIA AND ERIK WHO ARE SITTING DOWN IN FRONT OF HER BRB I'M SOBBING THIS IS TOO CUTE

[chrome prairie]

hey guys, I need advice and help cause i don't have creativity

[dusky thorn]

@patent sky still doin tours? Always see ya post it and I think it’s time I come visit🥺

[ancient herald]

Wassup terp

[oak jungle]

How do you guys get such perfect heart ponds? Mine look like crap.

[dusky thorn]

Well hello there

[modern fern]

That's a nice layout @chrome prairie

[chrome prairie]

@modern fern it's not, when I got terraforming I realized how screwed the entire layout was, the resident center is like in a bad position, very close to the airport and center to it in a bad x,y.

[light sluice]

The only thing that's a bit off for me is the position of the clothing store and houses

[keen scroll]

same, i'm SO annoyed with my layout, i honestly want to just restart lol
it's too close to the airport to make anything in between and there's no way to hide the fact that they don't line up lol

[dapper ginkgo]

yes they are both really far away

[sonic compass]

Anyway to make my entrance flow better?

[chrome prairie]

the stores are going to be in front of the airport

[light sluice]

I haven't started my layout but I don't really know where to start lol

[chrome prairie]

i hope, i want to move the museum first and im going to build the area for it tomorrow

[finite cargo]

I didnt do any planning. It all just happened and it just seems to work.

[novel pebble]

I really like it @sonic compass , but maybe put fence behind flowers instead of in front of them?

[sonic compass]

Like circle around the back instead of the front?

[misty anvil]

@sonic compass maybe if it was more symmetrical

[novel pebble]

Yea. Like as if you want people to walk onto your flowers. If you dont want that, then might I recommend a different fence? Like the iron one with the rope

I prefer it when its not symmetrical tbh xD

[sonic compass]

I was thinking about the iron one with rope I think this one is too tall

[novel pebble]

Yea for sure

[sonic compass]

I played around with the symmetrical idea but I feel like it’d be too much

[novel pebble]

Agreed

[finite cargo]

I don't like symmetry except in flowers on my island.

[glacial plover]

My market place is over!

[novel pebble]

Dude thats so cool!!!!

[finite cargo]

I did the owen wilson "wow" when I saw that and idk why but cool lol

[chrome prairie]

i really want them to allow us move the resident center like it would be a very positive thing and amazing

[finite cargo]

Idk why they wouldnt let us.

[glacial plover]

The entrance is almost over too!

[patent sky]

It literally doesn't make sense haha

[finite cargo]

Theyre so dumb

[rugged crescent]

Hey everyone, had an idea to make it look like i faked the moon landing but am not entirety happy with it, any ideas?

[chrome prairie]

it's a real bummer that we can't

[novel pebble]

@glacial plover I will be taking that idea, thank you ~~<3

[teal mortar]

@rugged crescent flowers in the background :(

[patent sky]

@rugged crescent add the moon and some asteroids to give additional aesthetic

[glacial plover]

@novel pebble oh yeah its a good idea to say welcome for our friend trader and visitor 😛

[sonic compass]

Yea add an asteroid

[patent sky]

It seems counterintuitive but I think it would help

[novel pebble]

@rugged crescent More details/items. Add like a make up stand, maybe a flag

[patent sky]

Champions pennant

[brave epoch]

My new island entrance 😊

[patent sky]

Is a good item for the flag I think

[rugged crescent]

I wanted to make a flag but i dontlnlw if thats a thing

[sonic compass]

Oh also add the space lander

[patent sky]

@rugged crescent use champion's pennant

[glacial plover]

ok last pic , dont want to bother with my pictures.... here is the Park!

[patent sky]

I have most moon-ish space recipes and can craft for you later if you bring mats if you need

[sonic compass]

Try adding that

[rugged crescent]

I was looking for that but dont have the recipe nor materials

Same for asteroids

[patent sky]

Hit up some meteor showers people are advertising

[rugged crescent]

Id be willing to pay for it if anyone has it

[sonic compass]

If you have 15 iron I can craft it for you

[minor mural]

entrance + middle part Infront of plaza

uwu

[dapper ginkgo]

cute

[minor mural]

Tyyy

[finite cargo]

what's the japanese tower thing called?

[rugged crescent]

Do u think there's any way i can make like a green screen around it?

[minor mural]

Pagoda

[finite cargo]

ok that's what I thought thanks

[edgy crest]

Anyone have any pics of an amusement park section they made? 🥺 I’d like to get inspired, not sure how I should set it up

[obtuse knot]

Does anyone have the lights the goes in the floor

Dm pls

[oblique kelp]

I just got to an island and the river is like a swirl shape is it anything special?

[finite cargo]

a mystery island? no i get those all the time

[oblique kelp]

Ok thanks I wasn’t sure if it was anything special

[atomic pollen]

Hi guys. Any idea to improve my island's layouts? My 2 river-mouths (the end of river ??) are on the far sides, and the resident service is too close to the airport. I dont know how to deal deal with them. Pls help

[finite cargo]

no layouts aren't special. only the flowers, fish and villagers.

[plucky oak]

hey since no one is answering my question in questions im gonna ask here

[finite cargo]

and bugs maybe? but bugs and fish are seasonal so maybe not

[plucky oak]

is the villager plot size 5x5?

[finite cargo]

I think its 4x4?

the house is idk about the plot

[limber shard]

the house is 4x2
the plot is 4x6

[finite cargo]

definitely not 2

[rugged crescent]

I tho 4×5

[plucky oak]

hahaah

[finite cargo]

its at least 4x4.

[inner cedar]

Hey guys! Got a question... Will the incline work on this spot or is it still too close to the shop? The incline ends right at the corner of the shop. Does it need to be one spot back?

[limber shard]

the house is 4x2 lolol

the incline would be fine there @inner cedar

[finite cargo]

its literally not 4x2.

I think with the step its 3

so 4x3

[inner cedar]

@limber shard Thanks for the reply. Wasn't sure and before I raise up the cliffs and then it doesnt work I wanted to be sure 😄

[finite cargo]

for the whole plot

[limber shard]

agh i didn't count the step lmao

[plucky oak]

it's 4x5 with the step

[finite cargo]

well they asked for plot size and the step is included

[plucky oak]

4x4 but theres a little jutting out area

[finite cargo]

clealy no one knows so just google it lmfao

clearly*

[limber shard]

it's 4 in the morning i shouldn't be answering questions skjdkad

[shadow temple]

I think when I surrounded a villagers house with custom designs the house itself was only 4x3 tiles

[plucky oak]

i just dug holes around it

i think you can put down designs but you cant dig holes or put flowers

like you can put a path under the doorstep

[shadow temple]

I had relocated all the houses because i didn't like the way I placed them at first and im even considering relocating two again haha

[plucky oak]

im doing a tiered thing for 6 of the houses

then 4 of the houses around a lake

[finite cargo]

I don't have that kind of patience lmao. Or the bells.

[plucky oak]

best way to make bells is turnips

bought a whole inventory for 400k

gonna sell for around 2m i hope

[limber shard]

i invested in the stalk market for the first time, i got 1.4mil bells

[finite cargo]

turnip prices on my island suck and people charge an arm and a leg entry to their island.
