Do everything section by section
i started by doing my rivers more straight
Entrance maybe? @woven drift
@woven drift i honestly suggest have a generic plan on what your island gonna look like
and then work from there
since you can always make fine adjustment
ive spend way too much time planning though
Here is my island as of now
I hate that the custom design path doesn’t make a nice sound when you run
^^
yeah im really sticking to default ones because of that
if you put custom over default it’s going to make sound
I want my shoes to go click clack goddamit
@woven drift it doesn’t
when you teraform, just be aware you CAN completely get rid of EVERYTHING except 3 things,
- the 2 entrance to ocean
- town square
- air port
Nope, just tried that. Doesn’t make a noise
just design with those in mind, you can literally change EVERYTHING else
have you tried letting a blank pixel ?
Wdym?
transparency doesn't matter it still won't make noise alycia
I think I want to move the neighborhood on the right somewhere else or rearrange it so there's more space, any ideas?
I wish I had Raymond or Roald. Got Julian instead....
I think you should keep it that way @spiral veldt
Yeah, I had a nice path to use but I’m not gonna use it anymore. My mental health DEPENDS on the shoe click clacks
Can I see some ideas for a dig site please? Trying to make one by my secret beach and im stuck...
You also can't change the beaches
Can I create new rivers opening into the ocean?
No. You can create rivers they just can't flow directly into the ocean
guys i heard the sound this morning walking on custom pattern and y’all telling me it don’t make noises and now i’m actually asking myself if i’m getting crazy playing too much and hearing sounds when there isn’t 😦
It doesn’t work
nah alycia it doesn’t make sounds. Only sshhhhhh sounds that are barely hearable
I heard it too lol I swear it's the same sound
what paths are u guys using 😦😦😦😦
thank you @wintry junco i’m not the only one being crazy hearing stuff
Lmao
This morning cyd moved in and let me tell you, his house as a whole dampens the vibe not to mention his attitude
bruh are u sure it’s the click clack sound
It does click clack... just ran up and down mine
It doesn’t click clack bro custom designs don’t make the noice
put a real pattern under it
I'm pretty sure custom designs make a very dampened noise of whatever they're laid on-top of
it clicks if you put it on top of like stone or something
Patterns underneath don’t matter!!!
I’m gonna try rn
unrelated: I finished my plaza and I'm posting it here
someone send a video of custom designs going click clack
no it’s the good place to post lol it’s just us being unrelated
i just got one question for @patent sky..... How much adderall were you on when you thought up such a beautiful island?
dawg they for sure make noise
i won't believe until video
“subjected my sister to this https://t.co/ZMopEBKB8O”
No they don’t! I’m testing it out right now and they do not!
@tawny glacier I take vyvanse
I will make a video right now
SAME
did you guys see that video
Lmao
but mine doesnt give me godlike creative powers
bro there’s no click clack sound tf😭
SAME
lmao that bed video
YALL IT-
Maybe I’m just paranoid
Quick reccomendation make districs. I had to completely change my island so all the homes and stores could be near each other
I’m pathing my island right now and custom design paths do NOT MAKE THE CLICK CLACKS
It's not a click sound but they FOR SURE make sound
alrex that isn't a custom design lol
THATS WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THEY DONT MAKE CLICK CLACKS I HATE THIS FAMILY LMAOOOO
They can make click clacks
Normal island that looks ok crew say whaaaa
just put it on top of the regular path
but kinda developed
The original argument for all of y’all jumping in, CUSTOM DESIGN PATHS DONT MAKE CLICK CLACKS LIKE REGULAR PATHS NO MATTER WHAT YOU PUT THEM ON. PERIOD.
I do not hear a click clack.
Now I’m just confused
Does anyone have a cool entrance to their museum? I need some ideas!
i refuse to use custom design, they are easily kicked off with y
i have custom path over stone path and my character wearing heels and i swear i heard a noise this morning
@trail pecan nothing super special but this is mine
who here has an average island that developed but takes it day by day and not use data mining and time travel
well you were mistaken
they don't click clack, BUT you do hear footstep noises depending on the shoes you wear
I started a big refactor of my museum area this evening...
It’s a subtle sort of click clack in a way
@woven drift heels click clack regardless
WITCH
Nvm I was wrong, they don't click clack
and if you run they clack more
Old area
and if you run they clack more
@woven drift exactly
OH IT MAKES A SLIIIGHTY LIGHT TAPPING NOISE LMAO
yep thanks
I wore sandals
IM- Do y’all not mf listen. WHAT DID I SAY?
@trail pecan idk it's not much
but it’s not click clack so it’s still whack
lmfao
Well anyways
IM- Do y’all not mf listen. WHAT DID I SAY?
@indigo sierra chill
“#AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/Tiqn2bWmWH”
who here knows the awesome 10,000 dollar tree tip?
I searched for ages to get a turtle and finally put it in his enclosure to find out they lowkey don’t move
Kinda sad
They do if you poke them
cause in the glowing spots take the 1,000 go to your inventory and bury 10,000 instead
Bury museum entrance
if you click A it bites you
Ignore the twitter handle just watch the video y’all.... they don’t make the click clack....
they use editing to silence them bruh
They make a tsh sound
Play the game it makes da click clack\
But is that the click clack noise
I’m either going insane or it sounds like someone is sneezing real quiet
I just tested at a real quiet place and it DOESNT make a click clack but a rather reallllly light tapping sound. It’s still rubbish though
I never said they don’t make any noise, I said they don’t make click clacks 😔😔😔
also alycia you right
Supposed to be sleeping but instead tweaked my woodlands section till the switch Battery ran out.
Woah!!!
Omg
beauty
this is so cool
Post it on Reddit and get like 5000 upvotes
I love the paths ❤️
cue Isabelle telling you you have too many trees on the island lmfao
What should I put in this empty space?
Ugh Isabelle is so annoying
^
Worse than Tom nook
I do NOT like Isabelle
Finally some like minded people

guys i figured out my island now, im gonna have one section be suburban and the other side is gonna be natural
im already pulling it together and it looks nice
She took daddy nook from me 😞😐
@tawny glacier that’s what I’ve gone with
yes @prisma reef
@versed wadi my town hall area is gonna have asphalt and stone fencing and my other side is gonna have tons of trees and natural pathways
gonna be siiiick
I'm working on my farmers market area rn and its hella cute
its right next to my hedge garden! the hedges go up tomorrow I'm so excited!!!!!
yes @prisma reef and if you want personnal experience i put all my house next to each other (1 space between) and now i’m kind of regretting and i’m moving them all to all make a lil garden
Wow all of you guys islands are so planned out
no its not lol
Literally everything on mine is squished up in one corner
What's crazy is we all have the same items and tools accessible to us yet nothing is the same
And look at my cute florist 🥺👉👈
its right next to my hedge garden! the hedges go up tomorrow I'm so excited!!!!!
@finite cargo I just booted a villager out of my ‘slums’ to extend my park and make room for a maze 🙂
"Slums" 😂😂😂
The only thing that’s consistent on my island is June’s passion for bullying other villagers
that’s so cool @finite cargo
@finite cargo wow that flat wood bridge actually looks good when its next to a waterfall
i was wondering which one to with in a spot like that and now ive chosen
thank you guys ❤️
@finite cargo wow that flat wood bridge actually looks good when its next to a waterfall
@tawny glacier right???
Flat wooden bridge or death
I ran out of nice suburban garden ideas so Biff and Dobie we’re living like trash people
Except stone over a waterfall is acceptable
Yessss flat wooden bridge
i put a suspension bridge in my natural section and i think it looks good, but if im going to choose any bridge to go on a waterfall its gonna be the flat one
It’s all I’m planning on using
@versed wadi it's what biff deserves
i just walked into nooks cranny and my memory has gone blank, im in purgatory rn
Biff is leaving tomorrow 😌
That happened to me and I just kinda slowly figured out where they would go one by one
Should I keep the villager house layout or does it look a bit weird?
i just sold my Judy for 400NMT in like 20 seconds earlier
Does anyone have an example of a good island map? I’m trying to design my own and it just ain’t working
@woven drift
Tysm
@copper linden it looks super neat
i cant even comprehend lulus map, its insanely terraformed. im surprised she didnt have a mental breakdown in the middle of doing it
Oh that one is @versed wadi
lulu let me visit 😡🤬
id have hyperventilated if i had to terraform that much
Lol I can post again and you can come visit
I worked off of what I already have and built around it, I didn't flatten everything
Omg that’s amazing
lulu can I visit rn?
Yeah I'll set up a code, DM if you wanna visit
Last time I posted in chat my island exploded LOL
ive been taking some inspiration from the little checker paths that lulu has and im putting them in my natural section
WAIR IVE ALREADY SEEN IT LMAO
The fact that there is no path that matches the brick bridges upsets me
Anyone got more forest-vibes islands to show?
@dapper ginkgo did you visit before or after treepocalypse?
It looks a lot different after treepocalypse
it’s that time when you had a lot of people coming in
Treepocalypse?
The terraforming is mostly the same,but the fish market is basically done and landscaping is different
@woven drift I planted and replaced like 40 trees
Woah
Are the three bridges towards the top left all on the second level?
Nvm they are
My market in its early stages!! Waiting on my fruit to grow so I can fill the other stalls, and the fruit boxes will be delivered in the morning! Im "selling" fruit and apparels made using fruit. I still have to put up my "market" sign and plant flowers but this is the start of something wonderful!
Can I people's villager's yards? I want to get some inspo
Is it possible to change the location of the river because I cant modify the beach with my construction kit
You can't change river mouths
You can change the shape of the river but not the river mouths
Also that fruit market is metcha cute
thank you 🥺 👉 👈
can I see some maps with the river mouths at the bottom? Idk what to do with my river and it’s really bugging me
Bro this whole island is stressing me out so much? I’ve restarted like 3 times now and I have no idea where to put what and where to start-
Every time i build something the placement is off or i hate it right after-
two rivermouths?
yea we all have 2
Yards in my village
No I mean two at the bottom lol
Oh yes lol
@versed wadi has a good one
Oh my
Symmetry be damned
fuck symmetry
There's something to be said about throwing symmetry out the window
My island is so boring
I went to art school and they even said fuck symmetry
Day ??? of terraforming a giant crater onto my island
Those mountains tho
^^^
Symmetry has it’s place.
hi
I think a balance is nice. Too symmetrical and it's sterile and boring. Too unsymmetrical and it's chaotic and hard to navigate
Been talking about it for a week now and Rodney is finally moving out (guess he got tired of pitfall traps)
I'm convinced pitfall-ing villagers constantly makes them wanna leave
can someone help me out on designing the empty part of my island 😦 i wanna do a cafe/park type thing but i just dont know how to like make the way into it natural since its all barren
(Not my island) beardo moved out two days later
Make a woodlands area?
Lulus entrance is the best don’t @ me
Omg that@outfit is so cute
Theres where ur wrong
thank you ma’am
Heres a good entrance
IF ONLY
i wish
Maybe a large lake surrounded by trees?
What do y’all think of my villagers?
Do u have 1 of each personality
Funny enough I turned on my game Rodney was standing next to my home (I yelled at him to get back in his pitfall pen) and then the magical bubble showed up and he said he wants to see the word... Na he just hates waking up and falling in holes for 12 hours before going back to bed to do it all over again
no ugly ones congrats
Dang what happened to not judging people by thier looks
@heavy summit bridges across cliffs would solve my lack of slopes problems
I’ve literally spent the last 2 weeks grinding out nmt and after I traded Raymond I was set.
Bitch my last one was Agnes. HATE HER
@idle ether Love it. I want to see more
Frita is my #1 and Tiffany is #2
@heavy summit to be fare I did not judge Rodney on his looks I just found everything about him annoying
I farm them here
I feel i can die happy, but what would you do differently villager wise?
@idle ether that’s the best looking woodlands I’ve seen!
I kind of want to get rid of cecilia, but shes so cute!!!
I think marina.
I think i want to get rid of marina maybe...
I'm having a bit of a dilemma right now, my entire island is like, covered in flowers and very soft looking but I've been wanting some change in the past few days. im jsut not sure if its... work all the work again?
I love Marina but she gets fleas more than other villagers
I count 12
Yes
It's a very small section sorry xD https://twitter.com/jordivdh30/status/1252430654219771907
Probably
since i never really asked for opinions, what do you all think about my house?
I mean his boat was shown there in the trailer so
it’s very bright & i like it!!
@oblique cliff it’s so cute
Very nice use of colors
Anyone else want to start their island over again because you have to many vibe ideas and can’t decide on how u want it all to look
i restarted my island because my resident services location sucked toes and i have one that is much better now
I just reset my island and Id love some inspiration for cool entrances!
@dusk furnace i get that, i think the best thing to do then is to flatten the entire island and work on each district
I had some moments after i had done a section of a island thinking hold up wouldn't it be nice if... And then redid everything the same day.
I’m trying but I have so many flowers rn and it’s driving me nuts
ive sat for 10-14 hour sessions just pathing and terraforming so many times
My island is almost finished and now I'm redoing each section because of new ideas
@dusk furnace just pick a grid on the map, start there, keep working on it till it looks good then move onto the next one and try and make it flow from the last. No need for a big reboot
We get new stuff tomorrow right?
i spaced mine out 9
I'm pulling an all-nighter tonight so will make a lot of progress 🙃
Yeah,.. first polish a small part. If you are happy with it expand using the small part as new standard
anyone have any ideas for a nice way to place my Nooks Cranny and Able sisters? i want them next to my Resident Services but i want it to actually look nice lol
the first picture is my eventual plan and the second picture is where it’s at currently
https://twitter.com/iyllkai/status/1253109284235210752

https://twitter.com/iyllkai/status/1253109772699660288
this is my entire island so far, but idk, I want change 
I need advice before I get island designer haha
Especially seen as nothing’s really even placed in line
Have a great night
oh jesus embeds
@idle ether whats the code for those brick edges you used for your black flowers garden?
@idle ether How do you put the signs at an angle??
Hi everyone, does any of you have nice big flower garden? I am looking for some ideas, I am collecting all the flower colors and want to display them somehow. Maybe you can DM me the dodo code for visit or the screenshot or so. Thank you for all your help ♥️
I kinda wanna die cause I made my villagers have backyards and now I want them to have front yards 😔
Unless you have a plan, or know you’re going 100% urban. Try not to flatten your island it’s easier to tweak what you have and maintain a semblance of an organic look and feel than start from a blank page.
I bulldozed and I dont even know where to start
part of me wants to go urban
@steel junco those are always angled. Different recipe to the signpost you have probably.
I'd love some feedback on my island / I kind of want to do something other than just.... flowers...
@idle ether I was worried that was the case. 🙄
This is what my island looks like, anybody got any ideas on where to put things? I’m getting the terraforming thing tomorrow
If you want I can give you like nmts for it
Night all!
What the ur already getting someone else to design ur place before u even tried 
my islands layout is so wild right now
@rocky marten is there a way to trace back codes? I honestly can't remember :(
Man if I could make a living being a contractor/designer in animal crossing I’d do it lol
that would be so stressful
Real question is, is there a reason to even play when ur island is completed and done by someone else tho 
@zealous ivy that looks fine just don't branch your path that low
@open apex I like it. I honestly am doing something just like this
My moon area
these islands are making me question mine
@waxen hinge doesnt that block the bridge doe
@dapper ginkgo my island is trash lol I hate it now
No u can walk
oh ok
@idle ether no I’m afraid not, but it’s cool I think I found a similar design!
And it’s not like a side step it’s like a full area I was surprised too
I’m starting to really love the natural looking ones but mines not near to that😐
@dapper ginkgo my island was based off of others ive seen, i take bits and pieces of what i see in pictures and put it all on my island
Is it better to spread villagers out or keep them in a set area? I’m not sure on which to do, because if I had them spread I’d probably have a nice large lake to spread them around, but if I had them closer it would give me more space to put everything else around my island?
Sorry if this is too in-depth 
@idle ether you have me out here about to take 200 weeds out of storage and plant them around my island
@unique osprey It's personal preference. Some people like neat districts, some people like to theme areas around their villagers. Personally I'm going for a messy district.
@dapper ginkgo that’s what I’m trying to go for... but I hate my house spot now it doesn’t look natural so I’m thinking I need to change everything...
@woven drift based off of my experience, its better to have only a few villagers clumped into one spot, having them all looks very clunky and weird at times and can waste space for potential decor
Does weed not affect star anymore
@patent sky make sure you get the 5star island reward first hehe
@unique osprey you sound like you're leaning towards the first one so I'd say go w your gut
Hahaha already 5 star so no worries ;;
chile
Am going for a mess but with districts
i dont think lulu would ever dare to redo her island
Idk if I did I would do a section at a time
I hope one day they’ll let us “re roll” our save like they added with NL where you keep your stuff but start over
I want to do a fairy island but I would have to buy a second switch lololol
Just bulldoze ur place
Tom Nook's too mad with power to let you have two villages. Hell, you kick one villager off your island and they won't remember you if you bump into them again. He can't afford to give you too much power.
@idle ether super cool layout
They remember u if a friend takes them
what do your guys' paths to the secret beach look like?
And u talk to them on a friends island
Mine is now a tunnel it's a straight up tunnel
I TOOK SO MANY PICTURES
I'm probably gonna go with a tunnel to my secret beach as well
I wanna see
ooooo
Alright thanks guys, I think I am leaning towards the lake option. Tysm for the advice again ☺️
I just got a notification for server maintenance in 55 minutes?
Same @finite cargo
@dapper ginkgo lol send me your pics I wanna see
@finite cargo SHRUBS EARLY!!!!!!!!!!?????
I HOPE SO TENDO THAT'D BE AMAZING
CAN I GET A HELL YEAH BROTHERRRRRR
HELL YEAH BROTHERRRRRR
Are we doing japanese time update?
What do the shrubs look like?
no I'm central time USA

They did it for SMM2 so maybe it’s the same for AC
@patent sky ok
Yes it's updating on japan time
I'm BST
But worldwide

You get it in an hour
I'm assuming the bushes look gud
THE BATTLE CRY
It's 1am in the morning for me
ITS 7PM FOR ME
@patent sky May I see this secret tunnel?
Also I wonder if Leif will just show up or do we have to wait til tomorrow?
That's 10am tokyo time tomorrow
Hell yeah Jeikku same here
VICTORY SCREEEEETCH
No sleep gang, only AC
Are you too a fellow British human being
spongebob lululululu
haha
@steel junco the tunnel is actually really dumb but I'll take a video of the result of poor initial planning
I am indeed a human being who is of the British variety
the british variety
quality
indubitably
wowowow I can't wait for these bushes tonight now omg
i never thought id get excited over shrubs in a video game, BUT HERE I AM
What do yall think of these ideas
YALL😭😭
i told my friend Evelyn about "THIS COOL NEW UPDATE WITH BUSHES AND ART AND STUFF" and she goes "oh yeah, Redd and Leif are back".... and i just sat there like 😑 "really gotta burst my excitement bubble don't you".
I wonder if Leif is gonna be on my island at 2am in the morning owo
the struggle of being a new AC player
How’s my entrance I plan to put flowers and trees
I really like the entrance, super nice. Not symmetrical too which is a bonus
Symmetry is overdone anyway...
there’s no place for trees
wait omg I have a server maintenance what is that
the struggle of having a town hall right next to your GOD DAMN ENTRANCE
I'll show you just how annoying my town hall placement is
@dapper ginkgo same
@spring hearth i completely wiped my old island that i put 2 weeks into because of that exact reason, boy was it worth it
OMG WE CAN'T PLAY FOR AN ENTIRE HOUR WTF
how did yall layout the villager houses?
@finite cargo 1st world problems LOL
now I feel guilty
wait is the update gonna happen later today?
time to watch anime for an hour lol
we should get it in an hour and 45 minutes
The update is in less than an hour
U can play for an hour, u just wont be connected to the internet
Look at how annoying this is
Well, the maintenance is, update is 2 hours as somebody else said
Wait @spring hearth thats your town hall, thats really nice WTF
the entrance looks horrible
yours is better than mine tf u on abt
@spring hearth what’s it look like in game?
it doesnt have to line up with the TH
I like having the town hall close to the airport
my old one was literally in like the same grid as the airport and to the right it was G O D A W F U L
what’s wrong with the town hall?
Like this, it just looks weird and I dunno how to make it decent
Do you guys like to squish your villagers in the same area or spread them out?
My issue is I have too many flowers all clumped together where I wanna terraform. I spammed them out to get 3 star rating and now cleaning up is a pain. Bonus is they bred a few times which is nice
Who wants to look at my 5 star island before i bulldoze it next week into the ground 
@spring hearth i think add some trees in those empty spots and u got a good looking entrance
pair it with some floor lights and BOOM
vinh why you doing that?
me
I know its not much but I made a zen garden that I am going to make a partial onsen later, It is a WIP so it is still missing some of the stuff I am going to add like Bridges, inclines, lanterns, patterns etc but I would Some feedback
@steel junco May I present to you, the most stupid tunnel
I’m super proud of my duck pond. VALIDATE ME! (It also counts as an elevated river so I maintain all the necessary fishing types)
amazing pond 10/10
@viral nymph I really like those stone props you used, I want 'em 
I hit 4 stars!!!!!! Yayayayyayayay
CUTE!
Oh god i have to tear down 8 inclines and like 6 bridges while also moving all 10 villagers and all the shops with no TT
RIP
@obsidian trail honest to god just time travel lol
i couldn't bear to wait that long lol
@heavy summit what kind of theme are you going for?
You're looking at almost a month of building :0
Then ima finish in one day and get bored of the game cause theres nothing to do but water my flower
I wouldn't pressure anybody in TT, but personally I caved in after getting terraforming.
Realised my placements were a mess and didn't have an idea of what to do until I could do stuff. TT just makes it so much nicer...
Vinh can I come have a look at your current island?
My code is M0MJK if anyone wants to see
can i come?
Yea
is there a twitter account that showcases inspiration or designs for islands?
Just look it up on youtube
What’s an elevated river for fishing?
Newhorizon_designs is the reddit I think
Its a river on the cliff
I follow the youtube channels just hoping to expand my instagram and twitter following to include those
Games so in depth so much too learn
when i bought the game i was like "this game can't possibly be a challenge", I was an idiot. i had no clue i was jumping into some death march
this game is evil
i’m still really early in the game but i made a little cafe in front of nooks and i’m sort of obsessed 🥺🥺🥺
Should i get rid of all my cliffs? I kinda want to reconstruct them my own way but itll be a pain to move everything on top
Gotta rep the rex
Just build whatever u want
guys this is the first time since pre-release that we will all be without nh at the same time, for an hour.
sry about the quality. I hate the stone wall area. Any suggestions
@finite cargo you can play just not online
Im pretty sure u can still play NH
im playing rn
OH I thought it was down completely omg
i think it just means no online play
yeah tendo the servers go down in half an hour
oh ok
What that gonna do, give u free internet just to make sure u cant play nh
If they can force u to not play nh, they woulda disabled tt too
good point good point
can someone give me some criticism 🙂
When does the update drop
In about 30 mins
Niceee
Yea ik
haha ima tt
so the update drops today?
in an hour and a half
i thought it was tomorrow for NA
same
servers are shutting down in 30 minutes for an update
exciting
anybody have good gardens?
showing off my set up. nothing great but just proud of it lol
the museum being an uneven amount of blocks wide... hnnng
It drops 4/23 10am Japan time
Multiplayer Server will be down for one hour in approximately 30 minutes. Please finish what you are working on early to avoid any inconveniences. Thank you and hope you continue to enjoy your time on the island!
wait 10am japan is in 28 minutes
yooooo
Heres a map idea to make urself richer, put ur nook on top of a cliff with no incline behind a river. And when ur turnip price is high, it forces people to waste 2 slots to get to nooks
Florida gang WYA
@magic copper that’s really cool :D
I made this on a website
Does it look good?
feels like you can do better in term of utilizing space
@open apex hmmmmmm, for the most part yes, i think add some waterfalls behind the museum and stuff, just to make it have more pazzaz, and then add some pathways
That layering is some top dog stuff haha
Also the villager layout is really good I think that’s a solid island but maybe use up the space a bit more
the pathways are very straight and look too uniform as well
I mean its pretty basic if ur going for animal crossing before new leaf
If u want it to be a deserted island thats find too
my island isnt the best, but its better than my last one, and every time i redo my island its gonna get better and better and better
Can anyone, if you dont mind, post your map? I wanted to see if the different locations of townhall and airport together D:
I reset my island data and trying to pick a map...
Mines embarrassing because I haven’t got island designer yet but sure
Yeah I see, it does look a bit empty
front and back of my orchard. natives in the far back arched. done until tomorrow when i get bushes. bushes will go up against the fence and then i’ll add benches that look nice with them. thoughts?
And I haven’t carefully placed everything lol, it’s a bit haphazard but I’m gonna fix it soon
@agile jacinth, try throwing in some waterfalls, and make sure that your grids are accurately lined up to your islands grid locations, or else it wont be accurate
@lost sorrel
Some people say they got airport and townhall perf aligned and i wanted to know how that looked
O
@lost sorrel https://game8.co/games/Animal-Crossing-New-Horizons/archives/282680 scroll down to the list
This is a guide to rerolling your island (village) in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH), as well as a list of island layouts. If you are starting out Animal Crossing and want to know about things to look for when rolling for the best island, read on!
can we post links here?
Mine definitely isn’t aligned hang on
Why do people want it aligned so badly?
There we go 🤡😬
Idk i got ocd
aesthetically pleasing to some perhaps
mines not perfectly aligned but it’s in a solid position for my village to work
In a few weeks or months the perfect grid phase will hopefully end
I mean if you want it perfectly aligned with something maybe have the airport exit lead to the museum?
just put random fence and item out
Since you can move that
honestly my island got 5* when i was barely i'd say 20% done
Haha too late
Welp, time to build WW2 Trench warefare map next week
i reset mine too to have the two southern rivers. no regrets?
I need to see this @heavy summit
holy shit I’m so excited for the bushes I keep looking at places I’m gonna put them
Hope i dont get reported by showing the symbol
I’m looking for some pinkish path patterns to use on my island. Where can I find some?
I haven’t looked at evaluations in a while for mine but heck it’s probably a like 2 star island 😬
You're 100% gonna get reported lol
So the exit of airport is on the left not in the middle right? I should aim at that huh
What yall think of my garden?
Cant even handle history smh
That’s so pretty
@lost sorrel yes it is on the left
Alright tyty!
cant wait for the art museum
@patent sky do you have a picture of your entrance from the airport in Pipwyn?
Can't wait to get swindled
@magic copper that’s really cool :D
@unique osprey thanks! 😄 took me quite a bit to create. this game makes time go by fast. lol
my space key is stuckk
bushes bushes bushes bushes😳😳😳😳
Imma head to bed cause it’s 2am
Cya guys 
my island
Anyone wanna help me plan a map layout? I’ll give you nmt or bells 😊 dm me, looking for something pretty! (Symmetrical or “everything has a place”) thanks❤️
@unique osprey gn!
@pale thorn pipwyn isn't mine, I just have @versed wadi 's map saved bc I am@a crazy person
@barren swift actually managed to make a uniform island look not clunky, good job
Gn! 😴
@patent sky i feel like ac has been getting tone down in terms of negativity, redd might not even have fake art in this game lol
@barren swift nice and spread out cool!
@patent sky lol gotcha
what’s with the “fake art”? I’ve never played NL so I have no idea
@barren swift ive seen plenty of other really grouped up housing areas and they never seem to have good space management but yours does
@pale thorn I think if you search his image posts he posted the entrance at some point
The only negativity in this game i know is getting bit by bugs, nothing else really punishes u
oh word. thanks :p @tawny glacier
@heavy summit are you telling me I took that university art history class for nOTHING?!?!
@dapper ginkgo redd sells u like 4 art pieces but u can only pick one. One is real, the other is fake, u have to know real art hustory
@barren swift i really like the rivers
around the resident services
oh damn
@dapper ginkgo or just like google it
@patent sky i took that class too, pretty brutal
@woven drift thanks! it’s a single stream around to give it some life. some squares are replaced with floral arrangements
good cause history isn’t really my thing
anyone have any advice for where i should move my rivers and make ponds :)
UGH my space key is stuck!!!!!
can anyone give ideas on what i can put on the right side of my map? lol
@magic copper orchard? they are helpfull and they take up space
Desert
yeah i could probably put an orchard
@magic copper a flower breeding area if you want one
Can someone send me cute layouts with water? I need inspiration 😂
or like a forest or something but orchards look nice and helpful
i might make a bigger flower breeding area. my current one is on the cliff at the top right lol
Park, cafe, hiking trail, graveyard, occult summoning grounds, amusement park, headquarters of the nook cartel, altar to stringfish @magic copper
Isnt stringfish gone now
"occult summoning grounds" @patent sky 😂
@heavy summit THATS WHY WE NEED THE ALTAR
Do u think this is middle or would it need to go 1 square unit to the left... 😬
i need an occult summoning grounds
Id rather town hall be as far from the airport
i want a graveyard
I think that's centered but double south is a big challenge @lost sorrel
@lost sorrel it seems off centre
why is double south a challenge??
What do u mean by double south?
It's a challenge if you don't want hyper symmetry
Dont forget, if ur dock is less than 14 planks long, just delete the island and start over
I feel like terraforming has stages like excitement and despair and right now I am in the despair phase of my new project
Ooo.....
double south is kinda bad ya
I make all my best decisions then
Thanks for showing me i didnt even notice D:
south west and north east is prob best
Guys I need house exterior ideas QQ
I’m like why did nook let me use this app
The problem with double south is that it makes the land on the outside almost unusable and it cuts right in the middle of left and right
All I do is make cliff eat hot chip and lie
Thanks for the ideas guys! hopefully this update will be able to make more come to life lol
i have south east nd it annoys me akdnak
That is bootiful
i have double south but you can change how you want the shape of the river
can bridges be placed diagonally?
@magic copper yes
How many Nook Miles for the occult summoning grounds?
666M
can bridges be placed diagonally?
@heavy summit why 14 planks?
Yes you can put bridges diagonally
should i put flowers or bushes or both here
Longer dock = more space to put furniture
O yeah what do u mean by planks
Ohh the dock? Not airport thing
Oh okay. Thought there was some special fish or whatever lol
Ok so my update is in 9min
Like the blue merlin
same @balmy sedge
Can u see how long docks are in creation map? I mean can u tell
@quiet holly I'm so exited
@balmy sedge same aasjsjks
If u dont put furniture on ur dock it wont matter
lmao i got double south and now i'm strug
wish i had gone with south and east instead
good lord, why must timmy, tommy and mable follow me around like Ross employees tailing me around like im boutta steal something
FELT
@keen scroll i hate my south nd east lmaoo
@patent sky hate to bug ya, but I’m dying for that wood boardwalk like custom path that you have for the little area you have on the beach that you were showing off earlier with the rugs on it, any chance you have that code handy?🥺
Does anyone have a perf aligned map? o_o
Ppl from other chat said they have
But no pc 😮
Timmy: "How may i help you" me: "YOU CAN HELP ME BY LETTING ME OUT OF THIS DAMN CORNER!"
lol @tawny glacier
LOl do you really
why
Tommy: “ ...you?”
@steel junco fax
@patent sky urban I'll take a snapshot shortly on the spot
i'm going to make my right river into a pond and just have the left river snake around the island
Why did I do this 😭 despair phase of terraforming is so real rn I’m dying
O the road to your home is nice ☺️
Ty lol diagonals are hard but I’m going for spooky forest vibe and you don’t get that with straight lines
Just saw this picture of someones island and it made me realize I ain’t shit
Oh yeaa when i visited other ppl’s island it felt so much bigger than mine cuz they didn’t do only straight roads like me
O thats pretty pretty
@scenic blaze why it's looking good
Change is scary
Thoughts on pathway? Going for a 70-80s look!
That looks nice
My update is downloading 😊
Forgot who it was who was asking about suburb type residents
It all seems so hardddddd I also feel like I have no room for this
Can I grow bamboo directly in front of this cliff or will it not grow?
That’s so annoying
Update is out .3.
wait really holy shit
Yepp :3
we can play it right now???
I just finished it ^^
I think online play is offline tho
Well you can play offline yes
oh my god
Online is being worked on .3.
well i guess you have to wait for leif or redd to come to really play but thhats still very exciting
ok guys i need clarity, am i the only human being whos spotify playlist consists of only anime openings
Not really
yes wtf
So nook reduced interest rate offered for savings accounts
I mean it’s not just anime ops but it’s Japanese music so yeah
Am big sad
Update is not out for everyone yet I didn’t get it yet
Wait what @lilac skiff they did??
oh and @exotic mountain i think it’s a good size
Press + and check for updates
It looks better when it's raining
also @dusk furnace can i ask where you saw that image?? i would love to learn what path they used on the righthand side 😮
hoping i can find it via their social media or something haha
aighty thanks
Omg thats the only way i make money hahah rip
Yes @lost sorrel you get two messages from Nintendo and bank of nook
@woven drift is your character vanir from konosuba lol
How should I put the stair layout (repost)
I think there's a website that helps with design layouts but the name is escaping me
Woah first time update taking more than 30 sec... must be a lot of stuff
Despair phase is getting better now that I added a third tier 😌 maybe this won’t have ruined my airport entrance after all
ooh that's pretty cool!!
@tawny glacierno but I looked it up it kind of looks like my character
@scenic blaze think i'm going to have to follow along with your progress 😄 we seem to want similar vibes haha
@wicked flax what’s the name?
The update is live?
Yep
I get overwhelmed really easily, so I started slow by decorating my dock :D!
Cute!!!
:D!
My game didn't update just now when I started 
AHH prettyyyy
Thank you!
Customize the bench to the reddish brown with the green metal it’ll match PERFECT
My game is updating
@thick tendon hit + and check for update
@woven drift I'm trying to find it I'll send it once I can find it
:0! I didn’t even know I could customize the bench @scenic blaze !!
ah yeah my switch gets no use until this game came out really lol. Used to my PC where everything just does it on its own. TY @heady dew
literally the only games I have on my switch is animal crossing and mario odyssey
This is what it looks like and this is the website https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
Woah!!
Yankee with no brim!
How I feel about that website lol
But it’s practically impossible to use on mobile lol
Finished another little beach area today
Does this plaza thing look big enough
Does anyone use little scalloped edges for the terra cota path? I swear I saw them somewhere and now I can’t find them on any of the catalog sites 😦
@thin mirage thats so adorable! How did you get the birch furniture? Is it a diy ‘:0?
how long are the servers gonna be down
Prolly for an hour
@thin mirage soooo cute!
@mossy steppe everything in the photo is a DIY accept the little lanterns and candle ^^ it’s the natural garden chairs and table, log stakes, wild log bench all customised to birch and the Lily record player ;3;
@thin mirage thank you so much!
@charred jolt i saw someone who connected two inclines together and it looked really cool!! Maybe u should try that?
Matching area over on another beach using the log items also~!
Hello I am trying to recreate the roost next to my museum, and need sort of island/ diner style table with a wooden finish.. any ideas?
like one on the right and one on the left so it looks connected. It looks really good with the natural incline
Two inclines together? How??
I wish I took a pic uh
/\ it looks something like that but it’s left and right if u get what I mean
@dapper ginkgo so they arent touching but they are close together right?
@dapper ginkgo ?
seems like a nice design, but keep in mind it does use up 2 inclines, and i believe you can only have 8 bridges and 8 inclines each
yes but it only looks great on the natural one but u can work it out with other ones
HELP ME
Anyone have a grand entrance I could yield some inspiration from? I’m having a creative block 😩
My entrance
Can I see how you guys set up your campsite? Need some inspiration
Just put it in the sand
Am I asking in the wrong chat? :c
i dont think so
what do you need @jagged mountain
thoughts?
My campsite entrance and the actual campsite
@jagged mountain start by getting some small circle tables
I am trying to find a slim, "diner style" table in a wooden finish for my Roost homage
I love that, I’m also hoping to go for a more natural vibe
@twilit lintel looks nice
@charred jolt like garden tables?
@tawny glacier I posted a photo above in chat, the first not second one
@golden bay thanks! But it’s scary to go through at nights. Never know if a tarantula is gonna pop out of no where lol
@jagged mountain antique mini table
@vernal portal that path in the top right i dont believe is possible, its very weird looking
Anyone got ingame screenshots of villager houses/neighborhood? need some inspo!!
Thats what I have there holding the coffee cup in picture @charred jolt
@vernal portal the one that looks like a b
@twilit lintel I bet
@vernal portal that path in the top right i dont believe is possible, its very weird looking
@tawny glacier rip thank you!
can someone please help me out with the stone path area. I hate it.
O
@vernal portal what look were you going for with it?
@tawny glacier it was supposed to be a flat!
hey guys! i need your help i have a inventory full of plants, can i get ideas on where to plant them?
I made a 'science' lab
WHY DIDN'T NOOK GIVE ME HEDGE FENCING OMG
mood
My WIP of my museum .. added an “excavation site” for fossils, a gift shop, and a little photo booth area with a Dino screen
Any advice on things I can do? I’m adding more benches and lanterns/floor lights
Ideas for campsite?
I just really like how I see this before I enter my museum
@inner mesa
@fossil jetty i love that
i just did alot of lights for mine XD
guys all I've been waiting for is hedge fencing and nook gave it to other people but NOT ME????
any ideas on what i can put here?
for reference:
- market area to the left and a little bit up, going into able sisters + nooks cranny
-cafe also to the exact left of this patch of grass
-resident services right above this patch of grass
idk either @finite cargo
Maybe like a park type area with a fountain?
If it's like in the middle of ur island @echo sparrow
this area to me just feels a bit empty. anyone have any ideas?
I currently have a trail lined with trees and pink roses. Now that the shrubs are here, do y’all think I should just make a trail lined with shrubs? And get rid of the tree trail?
@oblique frigate try putting some bamboo floor lamps, next to the rightmost bench and left most bench
maybe that will add some more pizzaz
oh yes i like that i had to look it up but that will be nice. i dont have that diy yet but i will for sure remember that
Anyone wanna share their orchard layouts ? Thinking of redoing mine but don’t know where to start
@novel burrow why not both?
@thick tendon Like instead of the roses, have the shrubs?
Does anyone have any ideas for the area outside my museum? I see everyone with extravagant waterfalls and idk if I could really do that with how much room I have I apologize for not posting an actual in game picture but this is my map
Ty
homie you need 10 clumps of weeds, 5 tree branches, and 2 stones to make hedge fencing
i'm having a hard time with terraforming- i started a little valley for my house, and attempted to make a llil neighborhood but i'm not loving it. idk where to start with terraforming tbh- any tips?
omg I'm about to fuck up my island with hedge fences this is gonna be hella fun
@woven drift ask in #690093605821480980 when it opens up after the update
More pictures of my fairyland ❤
Ty
I got a world map
Bruhh my boy pulled up
Oi.
My game is still updating 😔
Mine took like 3 minutes to update and install
Quit going ahead of everyone
Dude we can tt if we want
Mines taking like an hour
mine took 10 minutes
Well then no Shell table for you
to be fair, i think it would be nice if people didn't post spoilers
BUT yeah some people have to go to bed soon for work and wanna see the new stuff now lol
well jokes on you I already have one so 😛 lol
Wait, you guys have hedge fencing already?
yup!
I didn't have an update this morning, I thought I had to wait until the 24th
Leif pays double for weeds in case anyone wanted to know
Nook gave me a map...
Yeah I got world map from the mail
yeah we all got a map
Same
I'm just wondering why they lowered interest
Hope I get the update soon
Yoooo he sells flowers ur nooks cranny doesn’t sell yesssss
It’s not rlly a spoiler...
I'm working on using diff tiles to create this pathway pattern. Does it look good?
my hedge garden is looking awesome omg
Ah, there is the update. Too bad that I have Kicks in town so I likely won't get Leif.
same 😭
@heavy rune i think it might be better as a transparent pattern, the brown behind it looks a bit off
ok! Let me try that out
SPOILER ALERT you can plant bushes next to rivers and they WILL grow!! So you can probably grow them next to cliffs as well!!
nice!
@next mural do i need to TT to the 23rd after the update
It was annoying how you couldn't in NL
Yepppp @tawny glacier
yes mam these hedges look fantastic
I thought they might act as trees but nope, we have a lot more control!!!
I sure hope Leif will be around on the 24th, else I'm boned
He isn’t on mine on the 24th :/
Does anyone know the dimensions for bridges in terms of tile space? Im planning layout
Is this better?
4 wide. but the length is variable depending on your river width
Cool and staircases? Thank you so much! 😭✨🙏
that kinda fucks over people in different timezones who started playing the day before the update then
i believe you can have a bridge span a 3-5 wide river
Can you move the airport??
Nope
stairs are two wide
Ahh i figured. Gah
@tired verge thank youu

@heavy rune !! ohmigawd that path looks nice, could you share the code for it?
how big is a villiager house plot? like is it 4x3 or something
Anyone who TT'd my Nooks Cranny is gonna be upgrading tomorrow. Is this going to mess with my ability to start bushes?
I'll post it in the path qr channel! @torpid vine
thank u
@heavy rune oh I didnt even know we had that channel, ty!
Posted! Yw!
@heavy rune much better
Thank you!
The QR for that wasn't meant for a pathway like that, I don't think. So it took me a while to figure out what patterns I could create with it for pathways.
Anyone know how to make bamboo NOT grow?
which was a lot of fun
Anyone have any fence recommendations? I’m putting them down where the sand and light dirt paths are! (Ignore the house as it’s gonna be moved tomorrow hehe)
@next mural maybe put other partially grown trees or bamboo (e.g. small young peach tree) next to it
Idk
I don’t want the two that are growing to grow :/
Seems like the two that are growing are those only ones that aren't next to a piece of furniture or a custom path
There’s furniture behind my character
I don’t think you can put them together like that
how long is leif staying around?
He was there only for the first day for me, haven’t checked past 2 days
Personally Idk how frequently he comes yet
better stock up on bushes then ig
SPOILER ALERT you can plant bushes next to rivers and they WILL grow!! So you can probably grow them next to cliffs as well!!
@next mural Is that a pattern with the edging on your stone path? It’s pretty. 🙂
@slow furnace in #game-help-questions❓
I also like that qr design to put around tree's.
Yea it is! Let me see if I still have it
Has anyone attempted a double bridge
@primal shoal like bridge followed by a bridge? making almost an m?
no i'm assuming 2 next to each other
I’m not sure how much pieces of land would be needed in the middle of the river
yeah so -----n-n----- the n being the bridge right?
Yessss
i haven't tried it, but I figure the gap in the middle would probably need to be at least one or two squares
Well I guess I’ll start the experiment
Couldn’t design on one island theme so I made a little archipelago
Holy your layout just made me want to try something completely new
Gotta just keep going with mine tho or else I’ll never finish my island lmao
I love the museum island you made
pls send neighborhood layout ideas im planning my island!
anyone wish this was a nintendo made feature:
Yeah, I rather have map markers though
well thats something i made today on my own
Here’s my wip of my lighthouse island
oooo
anyone know if a double staircase would work?
im trying to work on something kind of similar with that kind of perspective
I there there has to be like one between i could be wrong.
Yeah i want my island to look really pretty and thanks to the rolling world effect it looks like ocean for the most part
was thinking about making an area near the secret beach where Redd will be
i already carved out a little area and staircase
Same i have tons of palm trees growing there to hide the beach but I might redo it
Does anyone know where I can find an image or a tutorial of a bear or frog shaped pond
lmfao i was wondering how many people are going to have to remake access to it
alchemist good luck finding that lol
Goodbye Fang. It was Nice knowing you
rip(ond)
