Also the fish market part is at the end sorry ;; I don't have a better pic of it after I finished that spot
Your guises islands look amazing mine poo compared to these
I need bushes to count as flowers bc in order to place bushes where I want, I gotta dig up flowers and that'll destroy my island rating
I think bushes will count as flowers and the hedges will count as fence
I hope you're right lulu!!
Otherwise it's bad game design imo since they put so much weight into fences
made a baseball field but after i finished i thought it was missing something so i looked up baseball field and i guess i forgot what they looked like
Huge oof
LMAO WHAT DID YOU DO I NEED TO SEE IT
no omfg i’m
Is it a soccer field
SHOW US COWARD
OKAY
YAAAAY
What's everyones suggestion to diagonal paths? Like regarding fencing it or not. Or design ideas.
literally gonna cry before i looked it up it was just a big square of dirt
I'm crying over no diagonal fences it makes no sense
HAHAHAHA omg
LMAO
good effort
Me to i cry knowing ill have to make it look like a cornered mess.
you should round off the pitcher's mound
i had the whole plan in my head bitch i didnt even know what the field actually looked like 😭😭
make it a circle, ya know?
oooh yeah
LMAO
Lmao
LMFAO....?
I was not expecting a giant square of dirt
this made me very happy thank you coffee
How did you even manage to think that
bye its my dumbassery
i. am. dying
I saved up almost 200k bells bc apparently I think I'm gonna spend that much on bushes and hedges? I'm stupid lmao
i looked up baseball field and i was like
lmfao
i got overly excited when i saw bushes
lmao that's the cutest shit @sly stream
HOW i made a dirt square
what can i build by my town hall that would look cute and not that cliche-y?
the helmet and the way your hands are positioned makes you look like the pitcher @sly stream
and where your standing
Anyone have flower garden ideas btw?
Anyone got loads of gold nugs I can buy
#691857408271712296 maybe
@agile yarrow something unique-ish i’ve seen is like putting the stores by the town hall and making it seem like a big farmers market or florist
@agile yarrow I've seen people surround it with water so it becomes its own little island
does anybody have a white and pink theme ? or some nice white patterns ? i’m trying to make one and i need inspo lol
What are your guys' strategies/methods to come up with a nice island layout ?
trial and error my friend
guys, saw this in a Facebook group. I don't know if she's in this Discord, but her island's concept is so mindblowing. It's a Pirate Ship!!
It’s not even in a straight line and I hate it 😤
woah
everything ive done was improvisation
also... wow
Woah that’s awesome
damnnnnn
@proud topaz Figuring out what you like will help you come up with island ideas easier
Damn that's amazing
A PIRATE SHIP??!! i wish i'm that creative
that’s so impressive
why are people so creative and good at island layouts ; u ;
i'm so shookt, like how did she come up with that idea? haha
@wind wind Just need time to brainstorm what I want. People have told me to use the HappyIslandDesigner to help
and making that idea actually happen
That's what I did, it helps a lot
That's a cool island
ooooooooh
u know what.... i’m gonna turn the fucked up field into an arcade type place
Can someone help me I finished the first part of my spa but dont know how to expand it any feedback would be great!
A ship!! Wow
My current island layout. Any tips/suggestions?
I need help with the entrance of my island 😦
Honestly I need mental help... what was I thinking when I placed all of this in all weird lines 😦 💢
I wanna redo this completely but don't have any ideas.. can anyone help?
I'm dropping tree branches all over my island to mark where I want bushes to go
@timid stream in what way?
Wait there’s bushes in the game?
Coming next update
coming in 2 days
Any of you gamers want to let me come to their island for inspiration?
You can if you want to, its almost finished its not like layed out like most peoples though. Mine is meant to look like a jungle and natural
Bet
Does anyone have good inspo for a market?
I mean mine is super boring and you walk on my island and there’s nothing exciting 😭
samee
I think I need less pathing 😅
Un poco
Can anyone give help and or feedback on how to expand my spa area?
@untold jewel
that’s quite pretty
So currently this is what you walk into 🤢
Plz pm me with ideas!!!! Or if someone wants to come help me design!!! I’m kinda... trash at designing.
Except my villager part is p cute :>
my island is covered in more than 60 tree branches rn so I know how many bushes to buy fml
@quaint drum right now you have a lot of water so not much room for furniture and such?
@patent sky I like that platform thing. How’d you do that
@finite cargo the answer is to buy all the bushes
You can buy bushes?
ALL THE SHRUBS
@finite cargo that's GENIUS
@patent sky I'm marking where I want to put them but my island will be ugly until the update comes lmfao
They're coming the end of this week @timid stream
@timid stream in 2 days
I mean you could bury them?
@timid stream i feel like you could do something with the flowers that are there, and then add a lot more? and then create a lattice fence
idk how to explain it but i see it clear in my mind
You can watch the Nintendo trailer if you want to see what else they're adding
thought this turned out a bit nice
I mean you could bury them?
@patent sky that's more work
They need to make it so you can edit everything touching the house
@timid stream you should create a path and block the line of sight towards town hall with trees so it looks larger
for sure! would be nice
yea sunii make them do like a floral garden walkthrough all the way to town hall and to the rest of the island
You could also put some water or cliffs next to it, idk I did that I feel like it makes it look nice 🙂 @timid stream
depends on what you look for
Next to what
the entrance
tbh this channel is making me want to do a ton of layout work for my island but moving buildings is so expensive
DIY dump soon to be Diner
Posting my tropical vacation home with outdoor bungalows again, (I added more patching underneath the bungalows just need to take a new picture @ lulubells), Love to hear feedback ☺
I'm investing in the stalk market so I can put my riches into moving buildings and building inclines
@timid stream we have similar entrance distance pretty sure
I'm gonna spend at least 25k bells on bushes lmfao
yessss that path is so nice!! never seen it before @whole bear
What do you guys think is better: paths that are 3 tiles wide or 2 tiles wide?
omg such pretty flowers
I like 2 tiles wid
Oh yeh new town😂
2 tiles, blends into stairs and bridges nicely
i normally have a main path that's 3 but everything else is 2
2 tiles it is
yes main path being 3 is good. better for high foot traffic
Leif store substitute but with added tea rather than coffee UwU
nah my main is 2 and its good
@patent sky whats the design or your island? Like layout from start?
I'm really lost 😭 I love symmetry islands but then I see natural messy islands and now I can't choose which I want
Yo wtf that’s cute
You guys have SO MANY COOL IDEAS
also how do you guys keep getting all this cute ass furniture
ugh!
I need that same creativity
@woven drift do eeny meeny miney moe
I feel so lucky that I just found a simple panel in a balloon at least
@timid stream
@woven drift cute family u got there
Do you guys think my island has "too much" river? Maybe I should remove some water ?
omg I just dropped 78 branches all over my island
Mine is way too much river :/
I dont think its too much
nah mine is about the same
you can make use of the water
Anyone have good ideas with all this water?
I love water
i had a weird island and idk what to do with it lol so idk how to help
rustic wedding venue
@ember kestrel same, I got a different colour today! Simple panels got popular as soon as someone turned them into signs or menu signs which was creative
little baby islands add so much depth to the environment from the screenshots I've seen
imagine getting married in animal crossing
I'm going to look on Twitter for patterns for my panel!
@sly stream is that how u decided
😄 almost done 3 more areas, blood sweat and tears
does anyone have ideas for what to put in empty spaces?
Nice residential area
Flowers
Oooooo
cough world of warcraft?
orchard or flower
@ember kestrel maybe hahahaha
my empty space is by my garden lol
does anyone have any ideas for like an enterance or cool water terraforming with trees/bamboo
🤔
Bigger garden
@woven drift zen garden, gulliver items area, themed areas like a picnic spot etc.
@shell tiger my island is named Azsuna 🤫
Love it ❤️
yass
So, I want some thoughts on filling in my island. Layouts for cafés, benches, the works.
@raw temple I think most people do waterfall entrances! I've seen it's a popular look you could put bamboo on a second tier?
@raw temple I have a zen garden with a waterfall hidden behind bamboo
i did terraforming again these past few days
The red is all space to work with.
Anyone got good ideas about waterfall
My maze is nearly finished...!
my new layout
how do you get terraforming?
have to have a 3 star island
Get 3 star island and have KK visit
how do you do that? :#
Listen to Isabelle
Keep playing the game
:3
furniture, fences etc
just listen to isabelle
Ask about island rating
ty guys
its literally that easy
My creativity levels are soooo low right now.
I’m the most creative at 3 in the morning
It's gonna take forever for me to make a island layout i want
wtf yellow balloon gave me furniture I'm upset
@raw temple I think most people do waterfall entrances! I've seen it's a popular look you could put bamboo on a second tier?
@woven drift ooo thank you
I just opened for tours by request, as if you all haven't already seen this dumb map lmfao
I'm certain I'm the only person with an entrance
@raw temple I have a zen garden with a waterfall hidden behind bamboo
@wild heron that’s really cool
@raw temple @marble hare this is my waterfall kinda entrance
here’s the entrance to my island 🙂 i’m planning on making it longer later on
@patent sky Your map only is damaging my brain... well done
@wild heron I love that haven't seen it before!!
Lololol I'm sorry!!
Do you guys like to terraform the actual shape of your island? Or is it best to try to keep the land as natural as possible
My non-entrance entrance
@finite cargo Yup, we all love this kind of entrances
The flowers tho
my entrance is simple too
you literally just step off the plane into town/onto the boardwalk. Also yes, my lilys so yall know its 5 star
I just have a plain rectangle with a fountain that leads to paths to the rest of my island ;-; Y'all make me feel weak
I still have to move some houses but do you guys have any ideas for a shopping area/ park? what kinds of spaces do you guys have on your islands?
@proud topaz I prefer starting from the base not flattening stuff
@finite cargo nice flex
Yeah i have my nooks cranny and able sisters next door to each other, with paths connecting and fencing around with like tables and chairs in the front area
My entrance 😄
What did you creative people do with that weird land bit on your beaches?
I put my lighthouse. unless you mean the secret beach?
That's gonna be useful for the next update
Cute, I like the cafe
secret beach
Or the small strip on the side?
@shell tiger I love that!!! the tiny waterfall is so cute it gives me safari vibes
@finite cargo nah the random strip on side.
I turned mine into an exclusive venue.
my entrance
woah
get ready for the museum update
Niceee
Don't stand in the road @onyx hill
oh! sorry officer
I JUST WANT BUSHES DAMNIT
I'm going to have to write you a ticket
ill give u 20bells so lets do this nicely 🙂
Bushes is a nice idea
i made the lil strip into a lil hidden cozy spot
This was my design plan, but now I'm not so sure if I like it or not. What recommendations would you all make?
I MEAN LIKE REAL BUSHES
my house!! inspo from honey animal crossing
IM TOO IMPATIENT FOR THIS UPDATE
So when will they do a update on gameplay things like... crafting fish bate stacks? 😂
wowowowow
Love that mushroom lamp @willow pollen
I love that
@willow pollen that’s cool!
That's very inspired lmao, still beautiful
Wow @frosty spruce literally looks like an enchanted forest
Hi! Need some ideas, not aure what to do about this area
i nearly completely copied it so i don’t deserve credit
Still beautiful!
thanks!
Well you executed it perfectly lol
I wanna scrap that entire area maybe and change it to something else but not sure what /:
You did it so you still deserve the credit! :)
thanks!! check her out on twitter her island is gorgeous!
What item were the birch poles originally @frosty spruce
this is your post? @frosty spruce https://www.reddit.com/r/ac_newhorizons/comments/g55tuj/river_paths/
I want some of those
@frosty spruce damn making me want to scrap my super squared and measure resident area for something more free flowing
log stakes customized to birch! can also do cherry or white
Yeah they look great!
@frosty spruce isnt that the same exact photo she posted on twitter
so the people who make guides to the real paintings from redd better make em fast bc I don't fake paintings lol
All over the world people with art history degrees rub their palms together with glee
@willow pollen pretty much i mirrored her design from that picture! with her permission of course!
it's gorgeous
I don't know if I remember well from New Leaf but I think that if you found the painting online it was quite easy to find a difference.. Hope it's the same here!
https://twitter.com/honeycrossing_/status/1250623484901949441?s=21
ah but is that her photo cos like it looks identical @frosty spruce
^
proper pic of my rustic wedding venue
Im still to work out how to share screenshots from my switch 😅
@frosty spruce ah okay i was wondering cos i had seen it on twitter n was like 🌝
when I was a kid on city folk I had no idea how to tell the fake paintings apart, I thought it was just random, I didn't know there was any visual difference lol. back then we all liked to cheat our museum full so I just got all the paintings
hahah yes! i use a lot of her designs and build off of them as wel
@woven drift its rlly easy u just go to ur album click the editing/posting button at the btm n then pick if u want to post it on facebook or twitter and it lets u login/post from there :)!!
a lot of design inspo for those looking to fairycore
I don't use social media but thx
yeah either do I saga, i just have a twitter for animal crossing stuff haha
@saga I don't use Twitter but I highly recommend just quickly making one with any random name so you can share to there, then go on your phone or computer and save through there
@frosty spruce yea she has rlly cool designs! i liked the water paths but i didnt want to have to move my houses agn
my map is DONE well almost done
that is impressive....
for sure!! i’m struggling to do some things due to my freaking resident services
Thanks 😊 prolly a good idea @ember kestrel
UGH i just started resetting my island.... but there will be updates.. how much do i do???? 😦
yeah I wish I had done it sooner lol
what do you guys plan to use bushes for??
why reset?
reset as in reorganizing my island lol
yeah just revamp ur island lol
not like reset the game
scattered placements, asymmetrical designs, @tight hawk
LMAO JAN DJSKKSD THAT PRO PIC
Adding height to my flower plantings @tight hawk
#teamgigi
😆
Maybe how I would use fences in areas
i said what i said
I'm using them to line paths and decorate corners of paths
This Jan profil pic is homophobic
😦
oh ok. got worried for a sec, resetting after a month would be such a pain in the butt lol
I'm using them like flowers
that tutorial takes forever
omg djskskksdoks
hahah forreal, i cant imagine having wasted my 200 hour island haha
^
yup
200? those are rookie numbers.
love....
it doesn't feel like it 😭
in the process of turning my island into a forested wonderland, not even done with terriforming yet but I've made pretty good progress I think
I'm 355+ hours
hahah yeah, i didn’t play a ton at first cuz the tutorial was long
If by rookie you mean employed
show us ur island
Lol
we are in QUARENTINE
my twitter is @lofty nacelle_indigo I have pics there
all my co-workers are working except me...
If by rookie you mean employed
@woven drift I am employed. But I was laid off bc of covid. Once its safe to work I'll be working again.
@frosty spruce omg are you this person?
https://twitter.com/honeycrossing_/status/1250623484901949441?s=19
ok but for real do i even bother moving stuff around ?? should i make a path to the back beach??????? IDK WHAT TO DO
no i’m not, she deserves the credit! @woven drift
i just use a lot of mirroring and inspo from her!
well we know the secret beach will have a use now, so definitely plan around that some way
ohh!!! AH SORRY you did so well at remaking it LOL it looked exactly the same
@finite cargo no judgement! I just meant 300+ hrs whilst working would be unlikely 🥰
hahah thank you
i couldn’t find ur island
Was supposed to be kind of funny
@woven drift someone last night said they work and have kids and have 320 hours lmao
Woooah
yeah man
they def leave their switch on
I am crafting a shrine to them
their kids are animals
Gold dung beetle
that could be true. but I don't lol
I'm at 230
u guys wana see my proudest spots of my island 👉🏾👈🏾
Yes!
We sure do
yes!!
no
more than a lot of game I've had on steam for most of last decade
Omg I love the pot plant market
spam 😔
^
I'll give you credit
100% lol idc
@dense heart ur mind bro omg these are so good
😍 you are an artist @dense heart
@dense heart what walls are behind the plant market?
😖😖😖🥺🥺🥺
Y'all finding all of these nice furnitures lol
simple panels
okay thanks
that i used customization kits on for the wood effect
@dense heart I need your big brain opinions on my island I'm touring rn 🥺
simple panels are the best thing
i still haven’t done the beach cafe @patent sky fhdjdjdjd
No come heeeerree lol
anyone else had a theme going in to the game, but you just started building and designing and it didn't come out like you thought and actually is a totally different theme now but you love it even more than your og idea?
had this part of my island done but lowkey might get rid of it lol
sorry it’s so blurry lmao
That's a real house, you can't trick me
HAH
haha
yes daniela i planed on having only two rivers and very little water and lots of cliffs
needless to say glad i didn’t do dat
oh shoot your supposed to have water on your island
idk why my dumb self picked a name like oshawott and thought “ yeah no water all cliffs “
Unless you like the taste of Raymond's pee @past cloud
Ur honour I swear
is there way to move plaza?
I can see someone selling Raymond's pee for 20000 nmts tbh
no
😂
unless u reset
send a pic
Pull an S curvver
u can do a cute lil gated area
Just make a hill blocking residental and make it go around to smth better ig
sorry for quality
the hill can be like a stage and u can put it a portable radio and a microphone
And get ur villagers to sing lmao
im so uncreative 
I would do a flower arrangement, make a cool picture with colours
But I have a flower addiction
Don't listen to me I need rehab
make a path and line it with trees and flowers
I like these but idk if I have enought space
that's scary close I didnt even know that's possible
@woven drift i decide what to do w my island literally from any first thought that comes to mind
even if it’s a tiny thought like “omg what if i did _” i do it and improvise from there
@sly stream yesss that's the fun way to play
waterfalls like that look so cool and i wanna put them all over my island but theyre so loud
I play without sounds xd
@sly stream exactlyyyy planning ur whole island from the very start ends up just getting u stressed
like right now i’m making a path that’s kind of sandwiched inbetween 2 cliffs
it’s gonna be like walking through a mystical forest
true I remade one area at least like 3 times
thought that up like 20 minutes ago
damnn I wanna see that
and i’m just doing it and seeing what happens
That sounds dope
any1 have any tips for island design.. for some reason everybody elses island has so much room and mines appears very small? i look at others layouts and wonder how they can fit so much on their islands
@woven drift terraforming most likely!
lets see your mini map
golden roses????
You just gotta use all the space and terraform, there's more than you think
5 star with gold watering can yes.
IT WAS MEANT TO SHOW U DONT NEED A LOT Of space
oh i have a lot of blue roses tho hehe
Lmao
if anyone wants hmu
weird question but how do yall make those multiple leveled waterfalls?
woops this isn’t flower trade!!!
raj is out here flexing on us 😔
😦
I keep seeing all these islands and freaking out about mine but then i realise i can just play the game at my own pace
same I get way too stressed out
I keep seeing all these islands and freaking out about mine but then i realise i can just play the game at my own pace
@winter onyx
same :( my island is such a mess right now and im mindblow by how people are able to get their sh#t together
Anyone have some tipson decorating my favourite villager's house? (Bob)
*mindblown
Honestly just try to take it one area at a time
Like i dont move everything at once i go step by step
wait yeah u also save money like that too
im struggling with my entrance tbh bc my plaza is close to my airport
Can anyone please showcase their cool community layouts for multiple houses? I'm struggling for inspiration 😦
Mine 2 i love it
iinstead of noving everything to the beach, just terraform a portion of it and then move it to the right loc.?
having terraforming gives me too much power. I can't handle so many possibilities
also can you place builidings on the 4th level or no?
@jovial basalt i have villager houses close to each other but its not too fancy
My island's big feature is i lined all the paths with flowers lol
yah lol
suji!!
Yeah wassup
Flower power
im taking a break from animal crossing lol, i've been playing it non stop since it released and i think im starting to get...bored???
could someone maybe send their orchard and villager housing design because I need inspiration asap! :3
i donn't want to get bored so im not going to play until the new update
if u talk to mabel a lot she will eventually give u a flower pattern just like bobs shirt (on bear and bunk bed)
I didnt know you dont have to water flowers that dont crossbreed so ive been watering my 150 flowers everyday 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also thats cool yeah
How y'all islands look so good!?
Lollll
it’s the gay 😔😔
Mine is medium
You must have gone through so many watering cans
gives me tatse but hardships too
@woven drift i would make like 5 every morning 🤣🤣
Its the most calming thing for me
I have wayyyyyyy too many flowers to water them all. I only water the ones I'm cross breeding
I used to watch austin john videos while i did it but he took a hiatus bc his mom passed away 😢
i thought my island felt super small but as soon i got terraforming and started putting down paths it felt huge
That looks really cool! Very structured
Did you intentionally make the 4chan logo or
Hey im trading blue pansys for nmt dm if interested
I like all the diamond paths
Wow
“it’s the gay” }£>_’¥]€{£7&/@3€|*
My project for td is design bob's lawn, move and decorate the campsite, and reorganize my flowers by colour
I counted once and it was about 350 but I've added a TON more since then
I thought i had like 300 but my nook mile thing said 150
Ohh @mossy elbow that's really cute
I literally counted every flower.
Am i a normie I've only ever seen 4chan reposted on insta 😂
@woven drift i feel you so hard about 'bored' with ac. I think the terraforming burnt me out 
I just started like a week ago 😅
@woven drift tsym!
@mossy elbow you ever tried customising that iron furniture white? I really like this
bored? can't relate
Only 350. when i counted my flowers i had 802
@winter onyx normie or yung
I was actully bored with ac when I finsihed my island, and then I decided to redo all and was no longer bored lol
@woven drift i might do thanks for the suggestion!
holy shit how do you have room for anything? also I don't just have fields of flowers. personally I don't think that looks very nice. though a lot of people do it.
I did some terraforming projects and fixed some minor inconveniences but other than that i dont use it
You counted your flowers? Wowwee
could someone maybe send their orchard and villager housing design because I need inspiration asap! :3
Samee @marble portal
I don't get bored bc right when i feel the boredom creeping up theres a new event or i start a new project
now I'm adding 130 bushes lmfao
I don't get bored bc right when i feel the boredom creeping up theres a new event or i start a new project
@winter onyx yes!
my brother just made a profile in my island so i have more things to work with :)
THEN I CAN DECORATE MY ISLAND MOREEEEEEEEEE
LOL Yeah, I'm going to have to redo some parts when there's more stuff
4chan players have more unique maps if u wanna see something different than zen and urban islands
I just spammed flowers. everywhere I didn't want weeds to appear. like all the area's behind buildings and cliffs where i can't see
dude you're playing wrong if its stressfull oh noooo
yea Im so excited 😄
Im so happy I build a jungle with waterfalls towards the secret beach since red is gonna be coming there now 😄
There is no playing animal crossing "wrong"
personally that's not very appealing to bme but you do you
same
Im probably gonna line my paths with hedges beside the flowers
does anyone have a 5 star island? i’d like to see layouts for ideas :))
One person even painted his whole island sand path to make a desert island
There is no playing animal crossing "wrong"
@woven drift no I know but it shouldn't be stressing you out!
does anyone else have completed dinos outside their museum? could you show me a pic? i wanna see if there's some way to make mine look less...put together
I DO BUT IT RLLY LOOKS LIKE A 2 STAR
Mine is 5
THE ONLY REASON I HAVE A FIVE STAR IS CAUSE I HAVE A SHIT LOAD OF FLOWERS, FURNITURE, AND TREES BUT THEY DO NOT LOOK WELL LMFAO
I have a restaurant, a cafe, and a beach patio so im gonna plant bushes besides them
I only like little parts of my island, i don't like it as a whole
@urban hemlock what do you mean and also mine is complete
Id love to see your island tho 😄
I have 5 star but mine is in progress
Ah your playpark is nice too, @mossy elbow I like the Rockwall there
https://twitter.com/i/status/1252584288433795072 im thinking abt getting rid of this area
Oh wait nvm i thought u ment completed fossil donation
some ppl have put dinos outside their museum entrance to spruce it up
i only have a 3 star island rn
the pain of isabelle saying i have too much trees, i don’t wanna get rid of some trees 😢
Im not playing online bc of the "ive moved out" glitch
I bet mine is down to 4 star rn bc I dropped 120 sticks to mark my bushes lol. But it is a 5 star.
i got terraforming a few days ago and i cant wait to have time to use it
@winter onyx just dont talk to villagers in boxes
Is the waterfall valley path played out lol
@finite cargo i dont think stick counts as trash
@woven drift omg you have to do something with those ice cream lamps tho
what should I put on my beaches? I didn't do the fishing tourney bc it was annoying as all hell so I don't have anything from that.
It's my entrance to my house up on the hill
@finite cargo i dont think stick counts as trash
@heavy summit don't they? I'll check my rating then to find out
Yeah ik XD
Like theyre naturally spawning items from trees and rocks
I thought they did because isabelle was like too much stuff laying around today
What did everyone do with their secret beach?
So I picked up sticks and 2 pieces of coconut and she was happy again
@finite cargo try some custom paths to make a deck or something
ohhh yah right i have to decorate my secret "island"
@woven drift you mean the beach?
I mean beach yes sorry
I havent done shit with my secret beach lol
This is my island layout I just got 5 stars today
oh it didn't go down because of sticks! I'm still at 5 stars! Cool!
Ill take a video when Im back at mine for you
thankfully mine was just a small picnic area so i'm gonna leave it that way for redd to make it less suspicious for tom 👀
Congrats on 5 stars! @tribal thorn
it's so annoying cause my custom paths don't fricken show up
how do you guys plan your island? do you plan it in advance or just go with the flow? this was my island before I flattened it because I felt like it wasted a lot of space
How are some people’s islands so cute and structured? I’ve worked really hard on mine but it’s just a hot mess atm
Woah really @finite cargo didn't you say you dropped like 70?
OH DAMN, IT'S A DOGGY
That is so cool lol
you can lay paths from the terraforming tool. and then your custom path over the top to have them on the map
Good doggo
unfortunately it's gone because I destroyed it completely 😦
Aw
Mines so ugly 😦
I just went with the flow, didnt plan
probably shared this picture like 100 times already BUT I LIKE IT SM
@woven drift you can keep sharing it its so good
Woah really @finite cargo didn't you say you dropped like 70?
@woven drift I dropped 120 now lmao
(me trying to be a photographer lol)
and its still 5 stars
There were some things I knew I wanted to do, like a bamboo garden and a brick walled garden, but I kinda improvised around those things
a butterfly just flew... through... my bookcase...
Like I couldn't decide between a residential area grid or something more free flowing so I did both
Finally completed my opus!!
what's an opus
Woah
what the actual fuck, how do you do that
that's the coolest thing ive ever seen
Are those green mums?
lmao the cat zooming around in the beginning
Very impressive @dire notch !!
and yes they are
um @dire notch that is SO NICE WOW
how the heck
Breeding green mums vis really complicated
I didn't know there were green mums
Not just any purples though
i got like 20 from trading my LOTV's so like yeet
There are multiple stages
Can someone help me i dont know how to expand my spa area (also feedback is greatly appreciated)
blue roses are so annoying, they keep breeding when i don't need em anymoreee!!
the green mums are RIDICULOUSLY hard to grow - Thank you so much everyone!
@woven drift how I wish I had that problem lol
People with 5 stars, how much stuff is on your island? I'm planning to not have much on this small section on the upper cliffs for a rural foresty area, I wonder will I need to be building every inch of my island?
XD lmfao
@dire notch did you breed all the flowers yourself?
I have 4 stars so far, Isabelle says I just need DIY furniture around
not every inch but theres gotta be stuff everywhere evenly spaced
idk, you just kiinda go with it, don't get a 5 star to just get a 5 star
can't just dump furniture in one area
and yes you need a good mix of diy and purchased furniture
Don't worry abt it too much, unless ur desperate to get a golden watering can and LOTV
@woven drift Thats what I did with my secret beach, jungle towards it
Anyone have an idea of what i should do with a small open space
My island is so like industrial themed that I am stuck at 4 stars because I dont have enough trees/flowers 😢
Au
@winter onyx mini lake with some stone in the mid 🤠🤙🏼
Well you can pretend they're just covered in pollution @tidal pike
LOL
😂
@blissful remnant wdym stone
there is a polluted littered sector of it
@woven drift i bred everything but my first green mum which I couldnt cultivate no matter what - Everything else I lovingly bred 🙂 I sell them in the garden channel if you need something xx
lol its gonna have a ware house and a motocycle area
@dire notch wow awesome work! Well done, you got some serious endurance lol
@urban hemlock like this?
I don't know if I should go for a central theme for my island, or just make it tidy and neat
What should I do with all These hardwood trees??
Gah, everyones island had sm trees and looks super detailed ;-;
do you guys care about your map layout when decorating your island?
@shell tiger your island looks so tropical wow 
@warped lotus nope
I'm kinda disappointed there are only 2 types of bushes? am I the only one?
@woven drift haha yea I was going for a tropical island summer vibe 😄
@finite cargo Is that confirmed?
I thought there were like 3 or more?
@finite cargo Is that confirmed?
@stiff scroll I mean that's what we saw leif selling
2 types and 2 colors for each.
Probably different per island I would say, like flowers
do you guys spread your fruit orchard on top of each other or more spread out
If there is a museum update will it get bigger if I already have it in its area?
Does anyone have good ideas for microenvironments other than cafe's or zen gardens lol
pink azaleas, white azaleas, orange tea olive, and yellow tea olive
i'm making a farm
i'm sure leif will have rotating stock whenever he shows up on your island
Can someone help me i dont know how to expand my spa area (also feedback is greatly appreciated)
@winter onyx I have a soccer field, also picnic area
Picnic areas, stargazing place, campsite, farm.
thats tru tru
Dataminers said there were more than 2
Hmm i have a campfire site, little camping area, park, cafe, restaurant, patio, and zen garden
ok gucci gucci
So im blanking
i'm doing a farmers market
A graveyard?
Oh yeah i also have a little stall/shop area
I might do a recreation area with like the painting and puzzels etc
Oh and i have a classroom 2
Can someone help me i dont know how to expand my spa area (also feedback is greatly appreciated)
How do you want to expand it? like what furniture do you want to plae? do you want more or less water?
what days are earth day? 4/23-5/4 or something?
What are the dimensions for the campsite?
@patent sky yes exactly!!
i think i need to keep it to more simple skeletons like you did -- just 2 pieces
Beauty shots from the Island Of Ohana
this huge ones look weird
@shell tiger I was thinking kinda alot of water/waterfalls and and stepping stones to travel. The furniture would be like wood spa furniture like the Cypress path
If you want to make it on top of the area I would say keep the waterfalls but maybe make the space in the middle bigger? maybe
@summer depot that's one of my favorite museum entrances I've seen, spacing on point
@summer depot the picnic area is so cute
does anyone have a fish market with a vertical pathway?
Thank youu y’all!
@summer depot very very cute
I am trying to finish my jurassjc park themed island, I remember there was a slot with no dinosaurs in the movie, is that a good idea?
Can’t wait for update to make it prettier
@raven pike I have a nook in mine I'll post a pic in a second
Yeah I'm excited to see how everyone's islands will develop
@shell tiger Thanks ill get right on it!
@manic nebula Ooooo Did you put down the amber with the mosquito in it? That would fit so well
with jurassic theme
hahaha I have it there too
@manic nebula Ooooo Did you put down the amber with the mosquito in it? That would fit so well
Trying to make my house look like that big museum, I still gotta remove all the furniture and etc


@raven pike I wasn't quite sure what to do either
My museum entrance is quite plain but I enjoy it haha
hahahaha
@raven pike I wasn't quite sure what to do either
@patent sky that looks so cool like a fish market
Right? I mean IRL fish markets are cramped af but ??
Very creative
does anyone have any idea for a cute entrance
I just used flowers
what theme?
The blossom lanterns too 🥰 you got any other pics of your island @patent sky?
I put my best hybrids in the front like pink or purple flowers
Blossom lanterns are goated
I wish it was always cherry blossom season 😢
Haha sure, I can upload a video of the full market @woven drift
I caught close to 200 petals
A while ago I saw a short video about a tiered neighborhood with bridges and a river running through it - does anyone else remember that or have it on hand?
I love the bamboo shoot lamps
oml lol
@wary stone mine is extremely basic
LF feedback on this design please
cute
Idk I have river / waterfalls in my neighbourhood, was that the one you saw?
Left goes to town hall, right goes to boardwalk
Damn everything is gorgeous over there lol @patent sky, the boardwalk a custom pattern yeah?
@shell tiger idk I think it was on reddit a while back
Yeah I can DM it to you if you want
Plz! I'd like it
And ty!
ah then Idk
Made a cute little community garden/flower breeding area I’m proud of ❤️
@vapid hemlock it is very square so your rivers are going to look like man made canals, are you going for city theme?
What theme do you like? More nature, more town like,... @eager jungle
Beauty shots from the Island Of Ohana
@summer depot omg I love that, especially the teddy bear’s jumper
Late message lol
i just ate 5 sticks of crab meat, it was good.
a mix, im trying to go for an urban japanese landscape with some like naturey parts
big fat wip
@visual maple cool! Did you design the bags yourself? I like the use of the crafting bench
it looks good so far
can someone please come to my island and tell me what needs fixing i feel like it’s so ugly and i hate my mini nap
At least you don't have a stupid spooky accidental face on yours lol
my island is so ugly 😭😭
@eager jungle how about a town for shops and the cummunity server in a jap style and keep the villagers in a natural style
@woven drift bags I designed myself based on designs I saw online. The stalls were a qr code though 🙂
@patent sky no theme in particular, was thinking of putting fences and paths along the rivers to make them feel less canally
I'm starting to feel like my town center is too crowded with plants
thats a good idea!!
Impossible @finite cargo
@vapid hemlock you can also wiggle the rivers around a bit to make them look more natural as well
@finite cargo same lol, i surrounded my whole town hall with pink mums and roses and windflowers
Slowly but surely making my museum entrance lol
1 layer of mums, one layer of roses, and one layer of windflowers XDDD i need some help
@visual maple great job on the design, I think you should place a shovel too! Unless you did and I missed it lol
@patent sky main thing I’m trying to avoid is obvious diagonals because of the ugly paths they make
this is what it looks like someone help pls
I think now that bushes are coming I need to get rid of some flowers, instead of just adding bushes.
Ah, I got around that using single tile windy paths and kind of doing a zig zag and I think it looks alright
@snow hornet what is a particular part you dislike?
All of these island layouts are really calling my island “💩”
I want to have an island where my villagers get lost
Wow that layout is awesome
I like how your rivers feed into the orchard a lot, haven't seen that in a double south yet
@woven drift ha thx
This is my residential area, as you can probaly tell I love nature ;p
@patent sky i hate how everyone else’s island is so symmetrical and i feel like my villager house spacing is wonky
like the path is right in front of their doors in a straight long i feel like they need front yards but i don’t have room
@shell tiger wait... you can put coconut trees on land?
@shell tiger aaaaah I'm so jealous of cliff-y neighborhoods
Yes you can if it's on sand path
Omg I didn’t know that!
@snow hornet hmm maybe space them around that lake thing more?
@patent sky it’s my carnival island lol
Thoughts on museum entrance?
@shell tiger when do I get to visit
that loks beautiful
Hmm you can try spacing them into two different neighborhoods
@patent sky always welcome to visit, just some small parts are not finished yet, You rather have an invite when its completely done?
I don't mind either way, whatever you're comfortable with ~
help so i extended my pond and these 4 spots only gives me tire cans or rocks???? what does it mean
Entrance to my island is as extra as I am😂
pretty cool @wintry junco !
if any of you have (yourself or reference) for cool maps that have 2 southern rivers, let me know :) i've been looking for ideas and i'm kinda stuck, even thought about reseting to get an eastern river, so yeah, any inspiration is welcome...
Is there any solution for the path sticking out under the fence?
Does anyone have bells I can have I promise I will pay you back so kinda like a loan I'm new so I'm organizing my island So maybe like 200K
not that i've found gat
Hey gang, any place I can find out how many tiles of space I need to move Nook's Shop and other buildings? I want to put my shops on waterfall cliffs 🙂
Pins
dude part of the game is working at it. no ones giving you bells lol
Thoughts on this so far?
I finished my venue, food eating place whatever you want it to be or call it. I am not very good at island design at all, so criticism is appreciated! 😚
Thoughts on museum entrance?
@wintry junco Very cool! How did you get those info panels? Are those custom designs?
Put a desk at the front with a PC @past jetty
custom designs on simple panels
Hey gang, any place I can find out how many tiles of space I need to move Nook's Shop and other buildings? I want to put my shops on waterfall cliffs 🙂
@steady geyser Nooks cranny is 7x4 and able sisters is 5x3
I need to take more pics of my museum I love it so much my fave part of the island
Thank you @hard wing !
I’m super jealous of everyone’s islands
I recommend using custom designs to plan out where you're gonna put the building
sorry for the poor quality i’m sitting far away but anyone have any idea on what to do with this space??? should i just make it a little garden?? bc ik hedges and bushes are coming soon and i already have a cafe so
Can someone help me i dont know how to expand my spa area (also feedback is greatly appreciated)
My island layout so far with veeeery minimal terraforming. Need to figure out what to do with the top right area 🤔
does anyone have pictures of their town hall, I need inspiration, I'm not sure how to make the area around it look nice
@hard wing @woven drift Thanks! Yep they're all custom designs. The two on the left I got from Reddit, and the two on the right I created by myself. I'll try to post all four on this chat in a few mins
@visual maple make a jungle!
ooo ok
@wintry junco can you share those design IDs
I tried to make a town area around the town hall, but I realized that there was no space around the houses to place fences/furniture. Any tips for making a layout that would allow me to do that?
@wind wind you could move the houses a couple tiles back? As long as it’s not blocking you path it’ll free up some space without forcing you to change much
Trying to make those little island areas to the bottom left look natural, any tips to keep them natural but not ugly looking?
I thought about that, but I could only move it one tile backwards
Natural is erratic and unplanned, rounded rather than straight
@sturdy bobcat it might also help to expand the really thin ones to allow you to make it more natural
You kinda have to go in there, smooth some corners, see what happens when you mix different kinds of stuff to create interesting shapes
Nature has all kinds of weird bumps
I saw somebody have their houses along a river should I do that too?
@primal ginkgo there are some thin lines in until I get more bridges, or do you mean the one on the right?
Remove a tile of land from here or there, add another elsewhere
Can someone help me i dont know how to expand my spa area (also feedback is greatly appreciated)
If you like that kind of stuff, Evan
@sturdy bobcat right most yeah
adding random curves. and sharp angles can help with making things look more natural. anything to make the rivers and cliff less straight
@quaint drum what are you looking to do? It looks really good so far! Just add some flowers ^^
Thanks guys, I'll do some work
How do you create your island layout things
@primal ginkgo I haddent thought of that thank you!
@quaint drum what do you mean by expand?
Where do I buy fence DIYS?
nook stop terminal
My nook stop only has 2.
there will be 2 new ones every day
welp i guess i have to time travel

tt ganggg
yess
I really want that fence with the diamond shapes on it
lattice
Forgot what it's called
I only time traveled to get rid of shutter Diva
Ohh
The other two designs were from @woven drift
Funny enough the new update is suppose to come out at the same time the nook upgrade finishes
I gave you the other two XD
Yeah, my nooks is ready on the 23rd, perfect timing
if u dont count playing on friday midnight cause that counts as thursday|
It would be cool if they added like a creator system
I need to brainstorm island ideas
EVery download you got, you got like 10 points or smth
Oh so sorry, hard to keep track of all the different custom designs! @woven drift
Been thinking about my final island design for a while, finally got something I like. Any critiques or thoughts would be highly appreciated
lol
U can make a fake island with qr code grass and qr code river and use tree standee instead of real trees and standee bushes instead of ||future update bushes|| and standee grass
yahh
@spring hearth i could give u some
hmmm... depends on how many you have
rn I have 30 with me but I can craft more
how much you want for it
nothing it’s okay
pretty sure it’s 50 per stack???
It's either 40 or 50, can I take two stacks then?
almost finished with this part of my island, what do you all think?
Hey I have a lot of open land and I need help with ideas I am really stuck with what to do I’ll send a photo of how much land there is thx(btw all the stuff in read is free land)
Can someone help me i dont know how to expand my spa area (also feedback is greatly appreciated)

lemme look for it
sorry im not good with computers
just get rid of everything and start from stratch, jkjk....or not
im more looking for just a layout for my villagers
Oh no I made the path to my house 2 wide and it’s not even ree
Are you looking for it to be like really organized?
Or like just scattered around the map
i just spread my villagers into a square and rectangle formations to make 2 neighborhoods on opposite ends of my island lol
Also stick to a theme you want your town to be in
ah shit why did i say town, I MEAN ISLAND LMFAO
thanks for the tips
you don't have to stick to a theme completely
Ik, but just to get an idea first, like i don't have a theme rlly

slight update on my waterfall situation, nubbins are for lanterns and stuff, but I'm not TTing so I have to wait for them to be shipped
looking for some island-entrance inspiration, that doesnt involve waterfalls 🙂
i'm looking for people to help me with island ideas! my theme is pink, white, aesthetic, cute and tropical
@shell tiger I would love to see a layout of your island, it’s so beautiful. I’d love to know how you made those mushroom lamps too 😍
Can I hire someone to help with terraforming ideas for my island?
Do you guys think it's insane that people r selling star frags for 1nmt each
@pallid sigil Ill put a picture up! its not compeltely finished yet butttt
I find it insane people are selling flowers for 1NMT each
oml wow rip
Should I make a 2 wide or 3 wide path to my house?
2 for houses
@shell tiger can’t wait to see It! Your videos already look amazin! ✨✨
But then it’s uneven when I try to place my house it’s either to the right or the left
if you do the water paths that you have to jump on, can villagers get over then
can u customize the...mooonnn??
them*?
Villagers don't do much walking, they mostly teleport when you're not looking
So they'll be able to access the area still
thanks!
@pallid sigil the black places are the ones that arent finished and need to fix some pathing at some palces but the rest is basically done 😄
they're fricken ninjas
But you probably won't see them hop across the river
damnnn
When does my nook shop upgrade 😭
@west nexus just got for one tile paths or maybe add like a circle or rectangular of brick at the door going into a single tile path
@shell tiger omg love It! And the name of ur island is awesome 😄👍🏻
When does my nook shop upgrade 😭
@woven drift after 30 days of play / placement of Nook's cranny (one of these but i'm not sure exactly which) and spending/selling 200k worth of bells
Hahah thankyou @pallid sigil its based on a place in world of warcraft hahah
@distant roost I know THAT but I have been playing since launch and I swear I've spent more that 200k..
