[finite cargo]

dude I am emptying leifs stock and filling his pockets

[lucid shell]

I thought Leif is a girl

[finite cargo]

I always thought of leif as a scandanavian name like leif erikson who was a dude

[mystic bolt]

Looks really good boopsy

[unique pond]

hi guys, not sure if this is the right channel, but does anyone know if weeds need 1 space all around to grow too?

[primal ginkgo]

Can anyone send some pics of those waterfall pathways? Im trying to do one

[lucid shell]

Oops Leif is a guy lol

[finite cargo]

I don't belief so?

[true gazelle]

can someone please give me some feedback on the stone area (it could use some improving).

[unique pond]

@misty pier i love the museum front!

[tawny glacier]

@finite cargo that was so damn cheesy

[mystic bolt]

I know its extremely common but my museum has a nice little dig-site ignore the tree, that was a glowing spot.

[misty pier]

@unique pond ty!!

[next mural]

Imma ask again maybe someone new knows, how do I keep this bamboo from growing? I wanna keep it small to look like a little garden. Only those corners are growing

[misty pier]

@mystic bolt thanks so much 🙂

[stiff scroll]

@mystic bolt I have my 5 (waiting on 6th) rocks in my dig site

[woven drift]

@mystic bolt im trying to do a quarry and force all my rocks to spawn in a similar little area

[chrome aurora]

@mystic bolt I LOVE

[lucid shell]

Imma ask again maybe someone new knows, how do I keep this bamboo from growing? I wanna keep it small to look like a little garden. Only those corners are growing
@next mural I think you have to fence it or add furniture to the sides

[chrome aurora]

@mystic bolt I LOVE

[mystic bolt]

@next mural they might need to be spaced out more. Just grow them apart and move them together when they grow

[next mural]

I don’t want them to grow lol

[mystic bolt]

Oh my bad i misread

[lucid shell]

Yeah should be one space apart

My trees didn't grow because they were 1x1 / 2x2 apart

[stiff scroll]

@next mural I still feel like the paths and furniture are stopping it from growing. Diagonal might not cut it

[next mural]

I just added a path so we’ll see what happens

[lucid shell]

Good luck

It looks really cute

[hollow latch]

also side note but does putting a staircase followed by another one work?

[lucid shell]

Wdym

Like next to each other or

[hollow latch]

like 1 from the 3rd level to the second and directly below it, from the 2nd level to the 1st

[lucid shell]

Yeah thats fine

[lusty vessel]

It’s still a work in progress but here’s a moon fossil dear thing.

[stiff scroll]

Oh dear that's nice

[lusty vessel]

Good pun kneeslap

[mystic bolt]

I know this isn’t as grand but i built hills around my town center area and shops to give a more natural vibe to it

[wispy forum]

👌

[cobalt willow]

Added a little market to town square with my shops and created a little area for a villager residential area

[mystic bolt]

Man i wish shops had functionality like your villagers can sell like two random items or diys

[next mural]

To my friends helping me with stopping the bamboo, it is still growing but I’m a different pattern lol. I’m going to try completely surrounding it in transparent patterns

[gilded karma]

stone path or arched tile path? in a town like place for the shops

[mystic bolt]

Arched tile to me seems more urban while stone feels more rural

Go based on your overall island scheme I say.

[paper pewter]

is tehre anyway i can import my island layout to happy island designer?
mine is different to this one so i need to do little things thats difficult to do, like fixing river mouths and the beach/land little details

[gilded karma]

if you take a picture of ur map and import it to ur computer, the website lets you line up the grid and overlays it

[fresh seal]

I tried making a small village in the cliffs, looks nice but no clue where to put the last 6 houses

[paper pewter]

if you take a picture of ur map and import it to ur computer, the website lets you line up the grid and overlays it
@gilded karma thanks ill try it

[mystic bolt]

@fresh seal time to make a cliff that parallels the one you have

Nothing but a giant lake in between the two cliffs

And a long bridge

[finite cargo]

oh dang fam you could make a maze out of the hedges

If I had room I totally would

[inner delta]

Can someone please give me advise on layout, I tried a layout I didn't end up liking, so I flattened my island, but I can't make natural-looking rivers and cliffs

[finite cargo]

I've made 100+ hedges so far lmao

[stiff scroll]

@fresh seal Maybe have some houses right below the ones on the cliff, near the bridge

[mystic bolt]

I did the math and to move all the houses and buildings I need moved is 600,000 bells and that’s not including the 7 ramps and 3 bridges.

[inner delta]

Please...

[mystic bolt]

@inner delta what you do is block out the rivers and cliffs and whenever there is a squared edge smooth it and if one side looks too straight add a few blocks or too and smooth the edges

[inner delta]

I'm having the problem of not knowing where to start lol

[mystic bolt]

So what I do is I make a bunch of dots spaced out and then I play connect the dots

With the cliff tool

[inner delta]

Oh I do that all the time to work out length

[gloomy flower]

Made a night club, and a camping area (inspiration from someone else)

[mystic bolt]

Camping area looks kinda marshy, i like it

[inner delta]

There's a lot going on in that, I'll be honest

[gloomy flower]

I like the camp to be that way :)

[prime tusk]

I like your night club

[next mural]

Ok so I completely surrounded the growing bamboo with transparent patterns and it’s STILL growing.....I don’t understand this at all

[mystic bolt]

Some people have their own way of doing things no need to be rude about it

[inner delta]

I think the problem I'm having is there's 2 pics so I'm having sensory overload lol

[gloomy flower]

No worries, no offense taken!

[rapid fog]

i feel like there's something missing

[inner delta]

Woah what are those hyacinths?

[mystic bolt]

Egg furniture

[rapid fog]

yep

LOL ok thanks

[inner delta]

No, what are the turquoise ones?

[rapid fog]

turquoise..?

[tall pilot]

think they are white

[stiff scroll]

You mean the white one?

[rapid fog]

ya

[inner delta]

Must be the lighting lol

[rapid fog]

sorry ^^;;

[inner delta]

I was just really confused lol

[rapid fog]

nah is ok

?

[oblique cliff]

wrong chat

[tawny glacier]

get a load of that guy

[rustic cairn]

Please dm me island layout and/or decoration ideas! I need to get on my grind!

[buoyant osprey]

Anyone with the most basic of basic of basic photoshop skills wanna mirror an island image for me? like flip it so whats on the right is on the left.

I'm an ignorant stupid man who built his island with the river mouths on the wrong side.

[compact summit]

you guys, i super don't want to have to move all of these flowers...

[inner delta]

As in you just want an image vertically flipped?

[buoyant osprey]

Sure

[inner delta]

Sure I can do that lol

[tawny glacier]

they need to add a damn steamroller that allows you to just obliterate the flowers so you dont have to break 3,523,871 shovels to move them.

[inner delta]

@compact summit time to get some willing volunteers

[fallen cargo]

The flowers are a damn nightmare, that’s for sure.

[tawny glacier]

never plant flowers until your layout is done

[blazing night]

Excuse me, but does anyone have a pic of what hedges look like with a bush planted directly next to them, please?

[tawny glacier]

just use furniture to get to 3 stars

[compact summit]

I planted all of those to breed the flowers... and I'm mostly done now

So now I just have 5 billion flowers everywhere

[fallen cargo]

Ah, the hedges and shrubbery are out now?

[rapid fog]

@compact summit i'll help you! :'DD

[inner delta]

I saw someone got a 5* island by hiding furnature behind buildings

[compact phoenix]

I’m not sure which path to choose... can I perhaps get some input on which one to choose 🙂

[compact summit]

Ahaha, thank-you egg. I'm about to give up for the night though!

[inner delta]

I'm partial to the bricks

[knotty scroll]

Can anyone help with some layout ideas. I don't know anymore

[blazing night]

I use an alternating regular stone/sandstone pattern for most of my paths

[rapid fog]

ah okee then

[compact phoenix]

mm ok

[blazing night]

2 secs, I'll get a pic

[fallen cargo]

@knotty scroll Try a bit more of an organic, natural feel. I find that islands that are too symmetrical/straight tend to look much less appealing.

[mystic bolt]

@knotty scroll my source of inspiration was literally Harv’s island.

[woven drift]

Whoa

[sudden spindle]

You have lilyyyyyyy lucky

[tawny glacier]

@mystic bolt No way lmao, thats funny.

[knotty scroll]

@fallen cargo yeah im starting to see why. It feels to symmetrical

@mystic bolt ah ill check it out thanks

[mystic bolt]

The outside of Harv’s island is peak aesthetic for me

[fallen cargo]

My island’s not done yet but I might boot up to show my progress so far.

[mystic bolt]

Harv’s island is busy and natural but isnt overbearing

[stiff scroll]

Maybe I should go visit

[blazing night]

I'm bout to replace all my fences with hedges though, plus bushes when I get them

[knotty scroll]

@fallen cargo if you do ill come check it out

[inner delta]

I've a bit of a problem with the flower situation as well...

[mystic bolt]

Oh my god

[inner delta]

I've been dreading dealing with them

[fallen cargo]

Not great, but you see what I’m going for. Camp is moving over to the river, houses are moving to spots along the district, I’ll have flowers breeding in the space the houses occupy currently and I’m gonna fill up the space in the centre with some interesting stuff. Probs gonna have a well up in the top right along with some decoration too.

[elfin python]

I was wondering why the area down there was so weird and I realized I had tiles down before my custom paths and now I’d have to erase the ones under the custom ones if I wanna fix it 😢

[fallen cargo]

I’ve spent like 4 days terraforming at this point, it’s a nightmare

[rough talon]

If I wanna redesign my island is it worth it to just cut down all the trees and level all the cliffs and rivers and start from scratch? I’m just worried I won’t like what I come up with

[woven drift]

Hi guys, can anyone send me a pic of their island layout? I’m not very creative and need help fixing my island ☹️

[rapid fog]

maybe move all the trees to one spot so you won't have to wait for them to grow

also you can plan it out with the island designer website if you're worried

[knotty scroll]

@fallen cargo That looks awesome thanks.

i goota build some more cliffs too

[rough talon]

@rapid fog didn’t realize they had a website for that! Thanks

[rapid fog]

@woven drift my island lookin kinda wack rn but you can watch these for inspooo https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdtfOMa5CM3Wi6nJ82LdINyNvoblWwzoI

[blazing night]

So glad we have hedges now

[rapid fog]

@rough talon yah! np

[woven drift]

Thank you!

[novel pebble]

Label is on my island so I have to wait till tomorrow LMAOOO

[woven drift]

I'm trying to figure out how to do my districts. Like one for shops and residents

[rapid fog]

yes hedges so cute

[novel burrow]

Should I leave shrubs in or not?

[patent sky]

Wait where do I get hedges, I'm at my aussie friend's island and Leif is here but I didn't see an option for hedges

[fallen cargo]

Yeah, my island immediately starts with the option to go up two levels where you access the shops and such. That choice also means it’s easy for me to section off the shop if I get good Turnip prices in Nook’s Cranny, and can be one of those greedy fuccs who rents my island out for a few hours

[amber steeple]

Looking for a designer to help plan out my stuff

I’ll pay a bit I just need a designer to help

[rapid fog]

@woven drift np!

[woven drift]

I wish we got more shops

I wish Kicks got one

[high bone]

Still a work in progress. But opinions?

[brave crane]

any suggestions for my cousins memorial i made?

[novel burrow]

@patent sky Talk to Tom. He gives it to you

[fallen cargo]

I think we all do tbh, but I like Kicks is just a travelling merchant who sets up camp.

[rapid fog]

@novel burrow try switching the shrub and the other thingy?

[novel burrow]

@rapid fog The hedges?

[inner mesa]

Hey guys how does this look?

[patent sky]

Ty!! I guess I have to wait until tomorrow then oh well

[main plume]

What do you guys think is the most "beachy" looking flower?

[patent sky]

Cosmos

[brave crane]

cosmos

[rapid fog]

@novel burrow ya

[patent sky]

As much as I detest them

[woven drift]

Someone on Tumblr cheated the system and used custom qr paths to make a fake bridge

[brave crane]

or tulips

[woven drift]

Smart thinking 101

[novel pebble]

Lilly's or Cosmos

[fallen cargo]

I need to get more flowers... I have three kinds, but is getting the others just a game of chance with NMT?

[patent sky]

You can't get a persons main native flower

So if you have lilies he won't sell mums or roses

[rapid fog]

@fallen cargo what flowers do u need?

[amber steeple]

Ok so I need a designer to help me I’m a bit stuck so

[inner mesa]

Wait was there an update??

[sturdy hill]

Holy crap y’all have such nice looking islands !! (Sorry for interrupting)

[amber steeple]

I need island layout

[rapid fog]

yesu

[inner mesa]

:O

[fallen cargo]

@rapid fog I think it’s still Mums, Roses and Lilies that I need. Are there only 6 main types of flowers?

[rapid fog]

yea i think so

[errant tartan]

8?

[rapid fog]

wait wat

[fallen cargo]

I can’t remember the names of the ones I have currently; windflowers, tulips and chry-not gonna attempt it

[inner delta]

I think the worst part about flowers is you can't store them or place them

or drop them

[novel pebble]

^^^

[unique pond]

hi guys i asked about weeds just now but i think my message was lost... does anyone know if weeds need a 1 space all around to grow? i planted some on my path/beside my path and surrounded by items and they're still sad little lumps on the ground

[fallen cargo]

@inner delta You can bin them, at the very least

[rapid fog]

wat i have never heard of something starting with chry

[inner delta]

Yeah but I don't wanna get rid of them

[unique pond]

chrysanthemums

[novel pebble]

wut?

[woven drift]

Trying to debate if I should put my museum on a cliff

[rapid fog]

@fallen cargo i mean i can give you some white lily seeds i have leftover

[fallen cargo]

I’m dumb

[unique pond]

that's why the game just calls them 'mums. it's like their short form. haha

[hearty remnant]

Do you think this is good use of space or I can do better? I still have to move the houses

[rapid fog]

wat no

[amber steeple]

Anyone wanna help me design my island?.?

[fallen cargo]

It’s not chry anything, it’s the hyacinth

[rapid fog]

ohhhh

[inner delta]

I wish you could do stairs without an incline...

[errant tartan]

Rose, Hyacinth, Windflower, Lily, Cosmos, Mums, Tulip, Pansies

[fallen cargo]

I’m terrible with names oml

[rapid fog]

facts

[fallen cargo]

Ah, I’m also missing cosmos and pansies. So I’ve only got 3 of 8

[unique pond]

@fallen cargo i mix up hyacinth and hydrangea all the time!

[heady dew]

Anyone know how many spaces have to be between hedges?

[rapid fog]

i can provide lily and pansyyy

[crystal plinth]

I'm moving my campsite but otherwise sticking with this

[rapid fog]

aaaaa

[inner delta]

Like what I would want to do is have my museum on a tier 3 cliff and have stairs leading to it like capitol hill lol

[unique pond]

hi guys i asked about weeds just now but i think my message was lost... does anyone know if weeds need a 1 space all around to grow? i planted some on my path/beside my path and surrounded by items and they're still sad little lumps on the ground
@unique pond bump! any weed experts here please?

[rapid fog]

LOL

[fallen cargo]

As far as I know, the weed that most consistently grows other weeds has a kind of flowery/purple/overgrown look to it.

[steel junco]

Weed experts you say?

[elfin python]

How does one overcome this problem lol

[fallen cargo]

Those are the best ones if your goal is to spawn more.

[finite cargo]

My rinky dink hedge maze. I could only do so much with such a small space but so cute!!!

[inner delta]

Weeds hurt your island's rating btw

[fallen cargo]

@elfin python Can’t. No diagonal, only pain

[unique pond]

Weed experts you say?
@steel junco I WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT I DID! SORRY! HAHA

[crystal plinth]

You can have a few weeds and it won't hurt the rating

[pearl topaz]

Anyone have any idea what else I can do to spruce up my museum? I’m adding more lanterns to those bottom cliffs

[woven drift]

I wish you can move the resident services center

[unique pond]

Those are the best ones if your goal is to spawn more.
@fallen cargo I see! I plucked them to relocate, but when i planted it back down, it was little baby weeds again

[heady dew]

Anyone know how many spaces have to be between shrubs?

[rapid fog]

@pearl topaz maybe add fossil displays?

[inner delta]

I mean for the authentic look, they did have a lot of sharp 90° corners on those walls irl @elfin python

[finite cargo]

My tiny hedge maze got no love 😪

[fallen cargo]

@unique pond Yeah, unfortunately I don’t think you’re meant to be able to replant those ones. They’re meant to be a timeskip deterrent more than anything, I believe.

[finite cargo]

Lmao thank you all

[unique pond]

My tiny hedge maze got no love 😪
@finite cargo cute cuteee. i plan to make a huge one inspired by the goblet of fire final task hahahaa

[inner delta]

You can get the purple flowery ones if you replant them

[finite cargo]

@finite cargo cute cuteee. i plan to make a huge one inspired by the goblet of fire final task hahahaa
@unique pond we must see it upon completion!! Im sire you intend to use a larger area. This wasnt easy.

[remote osprey]

@pearl topaz I put a fossil I already had outside. Like a statue for the museum

[unique pond]

@unique pond we must see it upon completion!! Im sire you intend to use a larger area. This wasnt easy.
@finite cargo will try to do it and post when done 🙂 but the new update isn't live yet for me haha. and i'm still in baby stages of terraforming sooo gimme a few weeks haha

You can get the purple flowery ones if you replant them
@inner delta i time traveled and it didn't seem like they grew at all... 😦 maybe i planted the wrong ones

[finite cargo]

Oh I didnt expect it tomorrow!! Haha

[fallen cargo]

Rate of interest got lowered

Didn’t even notice til now

[finite cargo]

Yeah idk why they did that

[inner delta]

Oh I meant that when you place weeds down you can possibly get the purple flowery ones, idk about growing weeds from weeds lol

[fallen cargo]

Would have come in the most recent update. Doesn’t bother me since I’ve not benefitted from interest once yet but, oh well

[unique pond]

i see... the moment you pick it up, it reverts back to stage 1 of growth i believe! i've only been picking the nice long ones and they all plant as little buds.

[inner delta]

Wouldn't bother me since the update still hasn't come for me

[heavy summit]

Everyone is doing turnips and only selling at 500 is probably why the nerf

[fallen cargo]

Privét have you closed the game to check for an update?

[inner delta]

Well not closed, but it would say that there was an update if I went to home and tried to open it again, no?

[heavy summit]

U press +

And look for software update

[fallen cargo]

Most likely, but not all the time either. The - burton on the menu can be used to check for software updates on games too.

burton... curse you autocorrect

[golden mulch]

New museum location progress

[inner delta]

I'm not really trying to get the update yet, I'm a bit preoccupied with trying to make a layout lol

[weak sphinx]

if you want leif tho, you need to make sure you're set to the 23rd after you update

[golden mulch]

Thanks whoever that was

[fallen cargo]

I need to wait 25 minutes for Leif

[inner delta]

I dunno, it's kinda funny seeing that emote pop up and immediately disappear after someone posts a pic lol

[fallen cargo]

Emote?

[golden mulch]

If someone want to give ideas on how to make my museum look better feel free

[inner delta]

Reaction meh

[fallen cargo]

O

[charred jolt]

I finally finished the main thing I was working on pretty much

[maiden scaffold]

Anyone want to come to my island and give me some criticism/ideas please dm

I want to make my secret beach more accessible but I like what’s in front of it so idk what to do

[indigo sierra]

Yeah, I made a big heart pond in front of my secret beach. I essentially blocked it off

[wild cave]

its not rlly funny its pretty rude

[inner delta]

I think to deal with the accessibility issue, (because I wanna have access to my nothern rocks,) I'll just have a space between them and my cliffs

[wild cave]

If someone want to give ideas on how to make my museum look better feel free
@golden mulch i can send you pics of mine for inspo! a lot of ppl put a fountain in front of their museums so that works too

[mystic bolt]

Its someone named worm can’t pin point which worm it is yet

[inner delta]

I mean it's just a harmless emote

[golden mulch]

@wild cave Ooo can you that would be nice

[mystic bolt]

Its rude, they spammed throwing up emote on two other posts too

[wild cave]

its not harmless, it can hurt peoples feelings & its pretty embarrassing lol

i will in a sec! (: @golden mulch

updating my game rn hehe

[golden mulch]

It’s kinda rude to do that with me showing progress like I really want it to look good

[mystic bolt]

How are yall getting updates now?

[maiden scaffold]

@golden mulch I made an outdoor fossil exhibit with my museum

[unique pond]

i'm sorry im not catching the ball here...was it a rude emote? i didn't see it

[wild cave]

i just closed my game to time travel and i had an update

[golden mulch]

Nice

[wild cave]

love it! @maiden scaffold

[inner delta]

I mean again, it was just a super quick thing, I'm sure they don't actually think that about your stuff, or else they'd have left it up

[golden mulch]

I’m planning on making a fossil courtyard with mine too

[woven drift]

here's my map so far 🥺

[fierce ginkgo]

Entrance to Angel Grove

[mystic bolt]

@inner delta let’s not enable shitty behavior anyways

[wild cave]

^

[fallen cargo]

Jesus I didn’t realise the Robot Hero recipe was so damn expensive

[inner delta]

Though if they do think that about your stuff and take it down quick, they're a coward

[brave crane]

anybody have any memorials to people in their islands?

[blazing night]

Technically, I have the islander that has the same birthday as my departed friend, and I'm slowly decorating the outside of their house with their favorite color of flower

It's not a graveyard setup or anything if that's what you mean

[mystic bolt]

I tried for my cat but it bummed me out everytime I passed it. I mean tbh I have his urn on my shelf anyways so i dont really need a memorial.

[round storm]

So I'm trying to build an incline here

But uhhhhh

[woven drift]

Omg the bushes are so cute

[indigo sierra]

I have a memorial to my NL town lol

[fallen cargo]

Yeah, the camera isn’t great @round storm

[brave relic]

This game is not very intuitive lol

[solid sentinel]

Here's a memorial of my Dad! i wish there were actual sunflowers in the game T^T he used to grow them

[fallen cargo]

Might wanna terraform the top layer for a better look

[round storm]

This game is gonna break me I stg

Oh yeah that's a good idea

[indigo sierra]

Kimi that is the sweetest thing I have ever seen

[blazing night]

@round storm you only have one space between the 2nd and 3rd cliff layer, I believe it will need more

[woven drift]

@solid sentinel 🥺❤️

[wild cave]

thats it. someone email animal crossing corporate and demand they out sunflowers in the game NOW.

[indigo sierra]

Enough to make a grown man cry

[woven drift]

That is the most precious thing I’ve seen

[solid sentinel]

aw ty for the love guys T^T gonna make me cry

[round storm]

Awwwww www 😭

[fallen cargo]

I wanted to make a joke about the small crack on the screen, but nah... that memorial is really nice.

[patent sky]

That is the sweetest thing I've seen in my life @solid sentinel

[waxen knoll]

Made a new museum area

[mystic bolt]

Instead of making a ramp to my orchard i made stepping stones from a nearby cliff

[patent sky]

Also whoever wants to make the secret beach more accessible... just make a really stupid tunnel!

I HATE THE INCLINE LIMIT

[fallen cargo]

When you said tunnel, I assumed you meant just from point a to point b lmao, not secret agent stealth mission around the back of the map

That’s really nice though

[wild cave]

@golden mulch its nothing special but maybe you can get some inspo

[fallen cargo]

Wait there’s a limit to inclines?

[patent sky]

You can only have 8

[heavy summit]

i love these new hedges

[midnight frost]

@patent sky That's neat actually, I'm going to do that myself

[golden mulch]

Ooh those are so cool!!!

[patent sky]

I miscounted and thought I had seven and was severely disappointed this morning

[fallen cargo]

Damn... I have 6 already. Now I’m scared.

[mystic bolt]

@wild cave how much water surrounds you museum?

[fallen cargo]

I don’t wanna run out of them they’re too fun ;;

[round storm]

I literally want like 20 inclines at least

[mystic bolt]

Yeah my plans were squished when i found out my plans required 9 inclines

[indigo sierra]

Idk bout YALL but I’m happy with my ONE incline

[wild cave]

@mystic bolt

[patent sky]

@wild cave 10/10 needs more water

[mystic bolt]

Damn that’s a lot of water. I know the pain of terraforming that much

[wild cave]

a g r e e d

[indigo sierra]

7/10 too much water

[round storm]

7/10 needs more water

[indigo sierra]

That’s not the quote hhhh

[wild cave]

just because you said that i’m going to add more water

[round storm]

Hell yes

[indigo sierra]

ITS THE IGN POST

[mystic bolt]

Here’s my island map lol

[indigo sierra]

About Pokémon whatever the heck

[wild cave]

making my island a giant swimming pool who wants an invite?

[fallen cargo]

Everybody has made their museum fancy, while I... stuck it up on the cliffs behind the resident services.

[wild cave]

your map is gorgeous🥺

[mystic bolt]

Thanks lol

[patent sky]

@mystic bolt um excuse me wtf? When do I get an invite to this magic water wonderland?

[echo sparrow]

does anyone have the qr code of like the elevated wood panels?

[glad monolith]

i need some advice on something uhh

[round storm]

Noooooooo apparently I can't make a multilevel incline

[wild cave]

i wonder where you’re gonna decide to put those houses!

[patent sky]

Yeah I was about to type that LOL

[glad monolith]

which place should the house go? 1 or 2 you can react with your opinion i cant make up my mind ugh

[patent sky]

2

[midnight frost]

2

[wild cave]

2!

I wanted an archipelago @patent sky . Not enough bridges right now for visitation. Mosty riding my pole everywhere.

I have places marked where my villagers are gonna move. But damn it’s gonna be like 10 days before everything is placed where i want lmao

[worthy nimbus]

yeah, I've been using the white one though

I want to use both of the wood panels but no space 😭

seriously need more design slots

[glad monolith]

mood

[round storm]

THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE SPACE UGH

[feral junco]

Can anyone draw me up a good map design. I have ideas but am horrible at the mapping

[round storm]

I had to simplify my soccer field because it took up most of the slots

[inner delta]

One of the few nice areas on my island atm

[round storm]

Redd: 👀 👀

[mystic bolt]

Gonna get taken over by a pirate soon lol

[inner delta]

Nah it'll be fine

[wild cave]

LOL

[round storm]

Arrested for art crimes

[wild cave]

i got an update for my game but idek if that was the one we’re waiting for

[dusk fjord]

looking for ideas for different areas to put outside to get a five star rating!!

[woven drift]

I suck so bad at laying out my island : (

It feels so empty even though I spread out my houses

[brave crane]

does anybody else have any memorials/graves on their island??

[round storm]

So it's letting me put my incline here, but because of the camera I can't see what it will look like. Helppp

[glad monolith]

only issue i have with 2 is that the house is right up against the edge of the cliff... which kinda annoys me because it makes no sense to me idk

the other two houses have a tiny gap where i put fence

[mystic bolt]

Dont worry @woven drift this is legit my second playthrough of this game. So i learned from the first time.

[queen marsh]

that’s so crazy!! must have taken u a lot of hard-work to pull that off. nice job!!

[woven drift]

@mystic bolt I feel stressed out cause of it

Lol

[mystic bolt]

Dont be

[rain notch]

Can I get some advice on how I should move/ set up my shops? I have custom pathing throughout the first half of my island but I wanted to keep my shops relatively close together to have a Main Street type of feel

[dusk fjord]

anybody doing island tours i need inspiration 🥺

[mystic bolt]

Everyone usually has a sucky island to start with and eventually the island gets better

[glad monolith]

@woven drift it helps to find pictures you like, pull ideas from them, and then make something of your own

[silver sorrel]

ah i didn't realize the update already happened give me my bushes

[glad monolith]

i had a big idea for my island that i ended up hating. after spending so many bells on moving houses too haha i'm slowly redoing everything

[wild cave]

anybody who has a great island had to completely redo their original idea, its the law

[deep saffron]

Does anyone have ‘natural’ map layouts? I’m at a loss here,
This is stressing me out

[glad monolith]

also dont focus on the whole island

work on small sections at a time

[deep saffron]

Yeah ik, this is my 3rd redo

[glad monolith]

otherwise you'll feel stressed out

[inland terrace]

does anyone have any like outdoor wedding/white themed areas I need inspo PLEASE

[glad monolith]

also dont forget that acnh is always adding new stuff so taking your time might be to your benefit

[grand matrix]

What island layout planner is everyone using? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm new xD

[rich tundra]

@rain notch hello. I personally built a second story land mass directly behind my town hall with a incline to nook and bales. And aseperate ground floor area for museum

[unique pond]

What island layout planner is everyone using? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm new xD
@grand matrix no worries, check the pinned messages on top 🙂

[rich tundra]

I plan myself. Probably made it harder for me lol

[grand matrix]

My island is a bit of a mess right now, but don't think I'm not against flattening the entire thing so I can figure out what I want xD

[unique pond]

personally i prefer to just wing it on the spot... the happy island designer makes it hard for me to look at spacing and i'm too impatient to make it pixel perfect haha

[grand matrix]

I have no idea what I want, but I just want it to be somewhat organized

[unique pond]

there are many super organised layout images that people have shared! just search by image if you want a shortcut

[tawny sleet]

who else is deconstructing their entire island rn

[deep saffron]

Meeee its a painnn

[grand matrix]

I might xD

[tawny sleet]

i have to move like all my buildings

megan cant leave her house

genji is on an island

[deep saffron]

My map was almost completely covered in paths+Patterns on top,
And after 2 full days, i’m finally done erasing almost everythinf

@deep saffron

[rich tundra]

Would anyone like to visit my shopping district for inspiration?. My whole island layout is about 40% complete but not much filler items like flowers, trees yet. Most kinda barren but I’m proud of my progress. I take a very unique and hilly approach so let me know. I’ll take 3 ppl max 🙂

[rain notch]

Wow 🤩

[patent sky]

Just pretend you're Bob Ross and do a bit at a time

There's no right or wrong way

[wild cave]

do you guys know if there are any speakers (like bamboo speaker) that are smaller? the bamboo speaker is too big for my liking

[tawny sleet]

man im not an architect

@rich tundra can i! my shopping center is complete but i’d love to see yours

[midnight frost]

moving all my houses around, I have an urge to just deconstruct my whole island and then plan it out, but at the same time I want to build it around what was given to me by the randomizer, also struggling with making it look coherent. THIS GAME IS A LITERAL NIGHTMARE for perfectionist people like me

[rain notch]

I’d like to visit too! @rich tundra

[steel junco]

@rich tundra I’ll come visit, or I’d love to just see screenshots 🙂

[woven drift]

@midnight frost i completely flattened mine to do just that

its really tedious but so worth it

[tawny sleet]

meanwhile my entire inventory is trees

@midnight frost i built around what was given to me (along with a few terraforming tweaks) and then ended up completely redoing it once again because i hated it lol

[unique pond]

@deep saffron
@patent sky this is sooooo cool! i love how naturally your river winds through! did you do the face in the lake on purpose? hahaha. also... is it a pain to go between your house and the main buildings? i'm thinking of isolating my own house too but worried about convenience

[woven drift]

im finally enjoying making it all come together

[wild cave]

i recommend doing it the way you want it from the very start, the effort is worth it in the long run

[rich tundra]

Max ppl sry others. Let get dodo for those I accept soon

[echo sparrow]

can i see how anyone’s used the elevated wood qr pattern?

when i try to use it, it looks weird .-.

[latent heart]

anyone that likes to put things around or in front of shops to give it some life, what would look good in front of the Able sisters shop? I'm gonna put some seating but what else? I would put a loom out front but it's a little too big. Any ideas?

[echo sparrow]

^ ahhhh i need help w that too

[wild cave]

the white garden wagon looks reallt pretty by ables

[inland terrace]

@latent heart I personally but a white garden wagon outside of their shop, I think its cute for my theme of island

[wild cave]

^ haha

[inland terrace]

put**

LOLOL

[latent heart]

Like nothing else makes it look like a high traffic area where people would gather. Something that would draw people in if it were real

[midnight frost]

@latent heart build a little cafe area next to it

[tawny sleet]

@latent heart i put utility poles outside every building on the side, and street lamps as well as construction signs or wooden shop signs

[latent heart]

@inland terrace @wild cave you guys are my heroes!

@midnight frost Cafe is going close by in a little area on it's own lol

[inland terrace]

@inland terrace @wild cave you guys are my heroes!
@latent heart omg 🥺 I put shrubs on the side now too it rlly spices up the look

[wild cave]

ur would be so cool if you could set the spawning area for your villagers. so like instead of the residence services area i would set the spawn point/gather point in my shopping district

[glad monolith]

its so weird i have 1 bridge

[latent heart]

Yeah I may see what Leif has. I'm thinking some shrubs around the perimeter to kind of "wall" it away without hiding it

[daring wagon]

Anyone know how many holes the museum takes when relocation? I want to fit it somewhere new perfectly

[latent heart]

Museum is 7x4

[unique pond]

Anyone know how many holes the museum takes when relocation? I want to fit it somewhere new perfectly
@daring wagon check the pinned messages 🙂

[inland terrace]

yea cause trees are just too big to do that

[rain notch]

I literally cannot wait for the shrubs they will solve so many of my problems

[daring wagon]

thanks

[woven drift]

a work in progress town, not too sure what to do with the extra space,,

[latent heart]

doorway is a 3x1 so paths up to it may be off. Take it from a guy who likes 2 wide paths on everything 😞

[gritty lantern]

@patent sky i like your pond 😱

[daring wagon]

@latent heart can you elaborate?

[inland terrace]

my map is sad looking cause I didnt put the nook paths under my qrs rip

[daring wagon]

I understand the 7x4 layout, but when the door dimensions come in I get confused

[tawny sleet]

@inland terrace felt that

[rain notch]

@inland terrace same! But I don’t think I can go through an entire re pathing

[inland terrace]

IKR I just cant

but then again here I am redoing the pathing of 1/4 of my island and im still too lazy

[patent sky]

@gritty lantern goddamnit... it's so cute in game

[midnight frost]

@woven drift Beach cafe, theme park, soccer field, secret waterfall area, orchard, flower farm etc.

[inland terrace]

I did a theme park!! its kinda ugly tho lmao

[rain notch]

Does anyone know how much space the museum expansion is going to take up? Or will it be the same size

[latent heart]

@daring wagon yeah okay so like the "blocks" or spaces or whatever in front of the buildings can make paths that lead up to it off center. The doorway spaces in front of the museum are 3 wide. But stuff like the campsite is only 2 wide

[patent sky]

Old pic but general idea lmao

[woven drift]

quietly adds that to my to-do list

[patent sky]

@rain notch same footprint

[midnight frost]

@woven drift You seem to be into symmetry, it'll be a struggle if true

[patent sky]

@woven drift Park, cafe, hiking trail, graveyard, occult summoning grounds, amusement park, headquarters of the nook cartel, altar to stringfish

[latent heart]

since buildings and paths cant be on a half space if you have a 2 wide path leading to the museum it wont line up@daring wagon

[patent sky]

Oooh now what's this

[daring wagon]

@latent heart I see I see! Thank you for the explanation!

[tawny sleet]

i got cosmos from leif!! yesss

[patent sky]

@rustic flare sir I'm gonna need some pics

[tawny glacier]

oh no, hes given the creative god even more creativity

[rain notch]

@rustic flare wowww that’s beautiful 😭

[woven drift]

i'd fix the island to get rid of the symmetry since it's slightly ruining everything but im not sure if i'll be able to get enough bells,,
i'm already suffering with moving my last 2 buildings as it is <:(

[daring wagon]

is the 3x1 included in the 7x4 or tacked on to the front?

[woven drift]

and i might just make the rest of the town/island asymmetrical,,

[midnight frost]

@woven drift Yeah, symmetry is cute if done properly, but to be realistic, making your whole island symmetrical is a really bad idea

[rustic flare]

@rain notch thanks I’m opening it up with code in an minute for ppl to look around if you want

[inland terrace]

I like symmetry but tell me why my dumb self chose a 3 wide path for my island and the airport pier is TWO WIDE

[woven drift]

i honestly should have thought stuff through from the start

[rain notch]

Yes I would!

[latent heart]

@daring wagon it's technically not part of the building but it doesn't matter since paths cant go under building perimeters anyway. You couldn't put items in that 3x1 area for example so it comes with the building

[midnight frost]

@woven drift Although, it's just a preference, I prefer creative chaos, when things seem to be placed random but they actually make a coherent image

[latent heart]

which makes sense cause you'd be blocking the door lol

[patent sky]

I just realized this man only has one incline :0

[indigo vale]

the new museum has the same measurements as far as i can tell

[lament whale]

Hey, I'm looking for some general layout ideas. Right now I'm struggling to fill empty space with anything but flowers, which is fine, but I feel like the variety isn't there. Also I want to integrate the villagers into the landscape more without doing a buttload of terraforming. Any tips?

[dreamy cliff]

Hey sorry to bug you guys again
do you guys have this design code for the area around this tree?

[latent heart]

yeah the new museum is still 7x4 its just a "bigger" model

[woven drift]

i do

ooh!! i did, but i forgot it and have the codes already

sorry its ripped from youtube lol

[hexed current]

7x4 messes my symetric so much

[dreamy cliff]

no its good

[daring wagon]

@latent heart so plotting a 7x4 lot without a path in mind would set me up for a clean move?

[versed depot]

Anybody know the dimensions for the lighthouse? Waiting for it to come in the mail but want to move a house tonight...

[dreamy cliff]

thank you so much

[woven drift]

of course

[unique pond]

@woven drift godsend!

[latent heart]

like the little concrete patio around it now will disappear I think. Kind of like the shop upgrade. Shop is still a 7x4 too but it counts that little roped off area around it.

[indigo vale]

i love that everyone in this chat probably has ocd & an adderall prescription

[patent sky]

@lament whale putting your ables and nook on the second level might be neat

Adds more interest to the landscape and general center of the island

[woven drift]

hii im doing a cottage core aesthetic for my island and im trying to scatter the houses to get that forest type thing but im not sure where to place some of the houses any advice?

[tawny glacier]

@indigo vale i Have an Adderall perscription!!!!

[latent heart]

@daring wagon yes if paths arent an issue you can put it wherever the terrain will let you

[patent sky]

@indigo vale excuse me I take vyvanse

[indigo vale]

@patent sky vyvanse is better anyways🥺

[daring wagon]

@latent heart thanks! sorry about the stupid questions

[unique pond]

@woven drift hey just curious what is cottage core? like... hardcore cottages? :/

[woven drift]

no LMAO its like a natural type of island

[latent heart]

@daring wagon nah don't worry about it. Better to ask and save yourself any trouble down the road. And trust me I've seen some ridiculous questions compared to those XD

[lament whale]

@patent sky And at that point kind of move a few of villagers around to the edges to accommodate? I'm not sure I would know how to fill the space left over.

[patent sky]

@woven drift can I see the map

[tawny glacier]

my island still has my natural layout, but my town square is suburban while my other half of my island is natural

[woven drift]

Im just clearing all the paths

Then im going to move all of the houses

[unique pond]

oooooo ok ok! i guess i'm doing some cottage core stuff too then! hahaha. i haven't decided on house placement either, can't decide if they should be tiered with waterfalls, or arranged like at the end of a winding forest path

[patent sky]

@lament whale Nono, I mean put the cliff where the shops currently are, then move the shops on top of that cliff. So they're in the same spot still but on the second level

[woven drift]

ooo waterfalls are nice

[patent sky]

It took me a second to understand your island name

[loud talon]

does anybody have cute fairy-esque, forest-esque inspo for around nook’s cranny and able’s ?

[woven drift]

its just pen doe😔

[mild lance]

I tried to make the center island an apple with leaves but the leaves look like turds please advise

[pallid hill]

Can I visit someone’s island pls I really need inspiration??? message me ur code

[woven drift]

Thats so good

[lament whale]

@patent sky ohhhhhh I see. That's actually super sick cause then I can do neat stuff with waterfalls around it

[tawny glacier]

anyone have leif on their island, i kinda time traveled and cant seem to get him back 👉 👈

[patent sky]

Yes exactly!!

@mild lance the left one needs to be more.... diagonal I think. Great map btw

[mild lance]

thank you! and yeah I think the angles are def off but I wasn’t sure about the shape of the leaves themselves

[quick iris]

I did it I finally finished it took all day but I covered every last square of my island (besides 6) with custom pathways to spawn my rocks where I want them (note I do not have pathways yet so I had to use my phone over and over and over...

[finite cargo]

I wanna see what yall have done with the hedges

[unique pond]

I tried to make the center island an apple with leaves but the leaves look like turds please advise
@mild lance maybe add the middle stem and join it to the apple haha

[woven drift]

Do u guys think i should use paths? since its cottagecore im thinking of dirt paths but i want that forest look too so im not sure! pls give me your thoughts

[rustic flare]

Waterfall

[mild lance]

Oo a stem could work

[tawny glacier]

does anyone have leif on their island, i TT and he wont show up anymore, does anyone have him and would be willing to let me visit

[woven drift]

Thats amazingg

[misty cradle]

can someone maybe visit my island and help me figure out how to decorate it? i have destroyed my entire island to the point that my star level is dropping because i’m just that bad at creative planning 🥺👉👈

[woven drift]

Could i visit ?

[pallid hill]

same i want to visit

[misty cradle]

please do

it’s awful

[woven drift]

Just dm me a dodo code:D

[pallid hill]

what’s ur code

[patent sky]

@woven drift use paths bc your villagers will walk on them

[quick iris]

I am so happy the first of my 4 island nightmares is over now

[woven drift]

Ohh okay tysm

[misty cradle]

okay (:

[patent sky]

That's it i don't know where I'm gonna fit it but I'm making marshy waterfalls now

[rose mason]

Does anyone have any inspiration on how to use the mush lamp around the island?

[pallid hill]

does my entry to the residency look good?

[woven drift]

Yess

[paper pewter]

could i get some opinions in this layout? and what should i put in free spaces and stuff

[primal ginkgo]

Anyone have pictures of those paths that go besides two cliffs with waterfalls? I’m trying to make one but I need some inspiration cause mine isn’t turning out right lol

[rustic flare]

Canyons

[timid stream]

Am I the only one who is already planting bushes 0.0

[woven drift]

they havent come to my island yet so lmao

[timid stream]

Ah

[rustic flare]

@timid stream nope!

[woven drift]

Do u guys know when they come cuz i wanna start planting too

[tacit bane]

Hello Everyone 👋🏼
I will weed your WHOLE island for 50k (price negotiable.) I will do provide many other gardening devices so just dm for what you’re looking for and we can come up with a price.

DM for questions or appointments

[timid stream]

They come tomorrow

[woven drift]

Ohh ok

[timid stream]

/ today? Depending on the time?

[woven drift]

Tysm

[timid stream]

Does someone want to come to my island and judge it 0.0

[unique pond]

i have the update up but i can't find leif.. haha

[zenith cave]

anyone have a little outdoor pizza place i can take inspo from?

[patent sky]

@rose mason

[mystic bolt]

Alright I prepped the beach by hiding it and surrounding it witb contraband for Redd’s arrival

[timid stream]

@unique pond save animal crossing, go to home screen, quit out of animal crossing, click it again, update, reopen

Who is red

[mystic bolt]

Redd’s a black market dealer

[zenith cave]

the cardboard boxes along with items are smart, looks really nice

[mystic bolt]

He’s added to the game tomorrow

[cedar vapor]

whats a good way to plan ur house grid layout bc i dont want to mess up the placement 😢

[unique pond]

@timid stream it's updated already! nook spoke to me about new achievements and all... i just don't know where leif is! haha

[timid stream]

Ohhh

He should be in your plaza. Did you time travel?

[patent sky]

Leif comes on the 23rd

[timid stream]

Well feel free to come here and buy some

[patent sky]

Australia and Japan have him rn legit

[unique pond]

i did time travel yesterday, but last night i went back to real time so even before the update i was in real time already

[timid stream]

I have him not legit but I can’t sleep and ran out of things to do so HA

But yeah I can open my gates if you wanna start planting

[patent sky]

Also what do I put in this little hidden onsen area? It goes to a bridge to my house and then another bridge on the right

[timid stream]

I like those lights

[patent sky]

Please ignore the turnip, I've been trying for ants for three days

[timid stream]

Can the ants come without grass on all 4 sides?

[patent sky]

Oh my god

[blazing night]

Hey peoples, for your fruit orchards, what kind of spacing do you have between the trees?

[patent sky]

You might be a genius

[timid stream]

1 down 2 over

[pallid hill]

one each side

[round storm]

As close as possible lol

[timid stream]

1 on each side the villagers complain about getting lost in the woods

1 down 2 over they don’t. And it’s less crammed

[blazing night]

Don't find it makes it hard to see things in there?

[woven drift]

y’all think i should go with this? or just keep the current 3 (also the top house is spaced differently compared to the other 2 and it’s irking me)

[patent sky]

I agree with moving them

[timid stream]

Def move

[patent sky]

But I also don't know what else you've planned

[rustic flare]

I built aqueducts to all my villager houses and town buildings as well several water pumps in community areas

[woven drift]

just tryna move houses to a prettier area atm, don’t have too much planned yet

[versed depot]

Just wanted to ask again: does anyone know the lighthouse dimensions? Or where I could find dimensions of furniture?

[timid stream]

Wait... can you walk through the shrubs you grow

[rustic flare]

Fishing spot

[woven drift]

i planned on removing all the water from the right side but now i think imma remove some of it and put the other 4 houses there but idk

@versed depot 2x2 if that’s what you mean

[versed depot]

Thank you!

[swift pier]

can anyone show me what they did with their museum having an incline leading directly up to it? i had a spot planned but since i can’t line a single incline up with the doors it looks like i’m gonna have to do two side by side, but even then i’m not sure if i can center the building perfectly between them :/

[woven drift]

ur welcome :)

[harsh plinth]

Looking for some opinions! Sorry for taking up a lot of space in the chat, but here's my current map layout, and I'm considering changing the right middle section (squares) from water based to hedge based.

First video is what it originally looked like, second is a sample with hedges!

[inland terrace]

leif sells hedges too??

I thought it was only the shrubs

[mystic bolt]

Looks wonderful. I like the hedges way more and it seems less tedious to move around

[blazing night]

Hedges are a new DIY

Do a Earth Day NM+ mission then talk to the tanuki for the recipe

[harsh plinth]

@mystic bolt Thank you. 1-0 for hedges it is

[tawny sleet]

Saw this on twitter the other day and have drawn so much inspiration from it! I wanted to do a Japanese market themed after my favorite anime “tamako market” and this is def the vibes

[wary heron]

I like the hedges there

[dapper ginkgo]

pic of my paths going towards my shops. and I HATE how the bridge doesn’t line up but hi I hope this gives someone inspo

[harsh plinth]

Thank you @wary heron 2-0. I have a feeling hedges are probably better so I'll stick with those

[patent sky]

@swift pier you can always place the incline horizontally

[glad monolith]

fr fr about to drop big money just to move my museum one space to the right

wait

no it wont even matter because museum entrance is three 'spaces' sigh

[dapper ginkgo]

why did Nintendo do us like that 😐

[inland terrace]

nintendo rlly did everyone dirty when doing the spacing for the museum

[harsh shore]

How long can you build bridges?

[glad monolith]

this almost as dirty as the shell fountain

[zenith cave]

my path to redd's ship

[dapper ginkgo]

LMAO

[patent sky]

This is how I dealt with that and I don't notice it unless I squint

[inland terrace]

YOU GUYS RLLY OUT HERE HAVING BIG PRIVATE BEACHES BRUH mines like 5x4

[harsh plinth]

@swift pier You can center the museum perfectly between them if you do two inclines side by side! The museum entrance is 3 squares across, so you'd just need an odd number of squares between your two inclines.

[pallid hill]

how do you get hedges? and is today the last day to get hedges ??

[patent sky]

@zenith cave yes secret tunnel gang!

Tomorrow is when you get hedges

[zenith cave]

pog

[patent sky]

If you are playing non TT

Wait @zenith cave did you see mine? 😂

[zenith cave]

you can get hedges by tt

i dont think so?

[dapper ginkgo]

complete an earth day task then go to Tom nook and he will give you the recipe

[pallid hill]

when does the event end

[patent sky]

I felt so dumb doing this @zenith cave

[zenith cave]

it looks really nice, i like the walk way

[versed depot]

That beach is so secret it’s painful to access damn

[patent sky]

Stupid incline limit, I had a regular design like a normal person but NOPE

[minor ridge]

I know that if you have a transparent pixel in your custom path you can have it conform to the shape of an original path, but is there anyway to retain the sound of the original path? I'm using a custom brick path but it just doesn't have that same satisfying clack when running on it 😦

[finite cargo]

Do I destroy my island tomorrow to do something like this?

[woven drift]

@patent sky the map in the corner tho 😯

[fathom plover]

I don’t know what to do with my island and I need help. I don’t have a “theme,” I just want a nice, natural island

[blazing night]

This is the pattern I'm debating for the orchard, the brick tiles are where the matching cardboard box will be, the wood where I'll have the trees staggered, opinions?

[inland terrace]

I gotta convince myself that just because someones island is pretty doesnt mean mine is ugly EVERYDAY

[fathom plover]

^

[finite cargo]

Mood

[tawny glacier]

ive all of a sudden gotten a boost of confidence with mine, its not even 30% done yet im confident

[inland terrace]

its gonna be beautiful

[tawny glacier]

because even if i dont end up liking it, the next time i tear it down and rebuild its gonna be even better each time

[glad monolith]

goin to sleep wake me up when we can have water-less bridges zzz

[patent sky]

@finite cargo that's really cute but does that style make you happy? Like is that your ideal place to live

[woven drift]

mines ugly but its looking better since i just unlocked terraforming yesterday

[inland terrace]

because even if i dont end up liking it, the next time i tear it down and rebuild its gonna be even better each time
@tawny glacier I-

HOW MANY TIMES BREH

[fathom plover]

I suck at terraforming help

[woven drift]

oh man i dread terraforming

its sorta game ruining ngl

[zenith cave]

idk if i even have the will to tear down my island once

[glad monolith]

ok why cant i make a waterfall on a third-tier cliff make itt make sense

[woven drift]

i took out every cliff and water and now i’m putting them back ughHHH

[tawny glacier]

they need to rework terraforming, its such a chore. its not even fun at all, why dont they make it like a decorating tool like the one you use in your house

[inland terrace]

I tore down my island..... i cried to say the least but its better now

[versed depot]

You can make waterfalls on third tier, but not 4th tier.

[glad monolith]

wait i'm dumb its 4th tier

[tawny glacier]

thankyou lulu very cool

[glad monolith]

this is really tragic

[patent sky]

How many times do I have to@post this

[inner heath]

Which is better picture 1 or picture 2

[tawny glacier]

That message should be pinned in this channel, honestly. @patent sky

[glad monolith]

do not look at island tours honestly

they will make you self conscious

[woven drift]

yeah honestly

Thanks for the help guys

[finite cargo]

@finite cargo that's really cute but does that style make you happy? Like is that your ideal place to live
@patent sky damn you went deep lol

[woven drift]

i felt so much better just diving in at my own pace and loving the result

[glad monolith]

i havent been angrier in my life why can i have a 4th tier

[zenith cave]

island tours give me inspiration sometimes at others its just me realizing my island is kinda ugly

[torpid vine]

opinions: black or white garden lanterns?

[glad monolith]

[torpid vine]

dm me*

[patent sky]

@finite cargo I literally just made my island the ideal place where I would want to live, didn't worry about theme or whatever, just did areas I would like to have in my life and based off places I wanna live, just worked slowly basically. If it's a place you wanna live you'll like it by default

[strange steeple]

Hi ! I’m wondering I could visit ppl with Flurry, Punchy, Rosie, Cheri, Pecan, Poppy, Tasha, and Fauna ! Just making my villager wishlist and would love to see how the outside of their houses look

[glad monolith]

im so angry i just cut down all the trees around my museum to put waterfalls in the back but NOOO

[tawny glacier]

@torpid vine keep both, they look dope asf together

[glad monolith]

never have i been so disrespected

[fathom plover]

A lot of people have a neighborhood area but I want to have my islanders homes spread out with decent sized yards and I don’t know how to go about it and I’m really stressed out 😢

[woven drift]

can i see yall museums exteriors i need ideas

[vernal stag]

^

[glad monolith]

try looking on twitter/instagram for some ideas

thats what helped me the most

[harsh plinth]

@strange steeple https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QYW4E1M-XxhbtFgE27qGR1stlyeC3bEP Has all of the resident house exteriors, I think.

[wind wind]

Placing houses is hard. I went for the same thing juicy, except double south rivers constrict space so badly

[tawny glacier]

PSA: DONT BE DISCOURAGED BY LULUS ISLAND, SHE WAS HOPPED UP ON VYVANSE WHEN MAKING IT

[patent sky]

I'm done posting my map today I'm sure y'all are sick of it lmfao

[fathom plover]

@wind wind exactly!!

[glad monolith]

also work on one area at a time

[patent sky]

^

[woven drift]

yeah double south definitely sucks imma move the rivers to make more space

[strange steeple]

Thanks guys !!

[fathom plover]

You can’t change the river mouths 😦

[glad monolith]

that has helped me immensely and makes me happy
my whole island might be a wip but i have one little area that makes me happy and yknow thats rad

[wind wind]

I honestly just want to get rid of one of the double south reivers

[harsh plinth]

No problem.

[wind wind]

except for the mouth, which can't be removed

[patent sky]

Imma post a good natural style double south that isn't mine

[woven drift]

iknow but you can like change the way the curve and stuff

[heavy summit]

people keep thinking you have to connect a waterfall to the river mouths

[wind wind]

Ohh, that's pretty nice

[heavy summit]

you never have to connect them at all

[wintry junco]

Why do people have so much trouble with the double south rivermouths?

[quaint drum]

Mefinally getting a 3 star rating: :)
Everyone Else finished with their metropolitan kingdoms

[heavy summit]

it eats up space and makes it really hard to decorate

[tawny glacier]

double south rivers are just ugly TBH, unless you do what lulu just showed

[patent sky]

Double south is excellent for symmetry and challenging for the opposite

[woven drift]

damn ive been working on all different areas of my island at once

[wind wind]

Emphasis on the "eats up space"

[tawny glacier]

yeah they suck toes if you want to have a natural looking island, but they are amazing for symmetry

[strong scaffold]

^

[heavy summit]

like its not even bout symmetry look at how much space there is, not alot to do and it cuts into ur mainland

[wind wind]

This was the central area I tried to make, no space at all

[keen karma]

anybody having a problem with their music players after the update? only a certain amount will work now :(

[patent sky]

Have you tried making the left side be the three house side

[tawny glacier]

why doesnt AC just cut out the middleman and give everyone all of the rivermouths, but just start of everyones island with only 2 filled

[woven drift]

i have a double south and yeah on either side its just a strip of land that is like one house wide so its about space

[alpine cape]

@next mural Helllla late but all of the suggestions people mentioned won’t stop them from growing. Put them on sand and they will never grow, no need to put furniture/fences alongside them (that won’t work anyway)

[wind wind]

No, but that's a good idea lulu

[tawny glacier]

so they can atleast make them the way they want

[wintry junco]

@heavy summit that diagram makes it a lot clearer thanks

[woven drift]

imma change my rivers tonight

[next mural]

@alpine cape someone else told me that and you’ll never guess what happened. They grew and I cried lol

[alpine cape]

oof

That’s weird that they grow on sand

[patent sky]

Bamboo is unstoppable

[next mural]

I really don’t know what to do so I’m just abandoning the idea

[patent sky]

IRL and in game

[woven drift]

irl they grow fully in like 3 days dont they?

[wind wind]

Double south makes it so that some ideas/styles are very hard to pull off, including the ones I was going for

but it's perfect for others, imo

[patent sky]

Not fully fully but my parents lost a portion of their back yard to it for a while lol

[heavy summit]

bamboo got nerfed, its impossible to farm bamboo shoot wtf

[patent sky]

^

[wintry junco]

Yeah my island would be very hard to pull off with a double south

[woven drift]

@wind wind just change the rivers shape a bit to how u like

[patent sky]

I plant one shoot in NL and suddenly my island is all bamboo

[heavy summit]

people complain about how bamboo goes crazy

[blazing night]

How does this look, I managed to take the shot as the lightning happened

[heavy summit]

just put patters around ur bamboo and bam it wont spawn shoots jeez

now they nerfed bamboo for everyone cause some people cant take care of bamboo

[wind wind]

Yea, I need to work on that @woven drift. It takes time though, it's not easy

[zenith cave]

would you guys prefer rope or brick fences for an outdoor pizza place

[woven drift]

@wind wind it helps tho imma start doing that very soon

[inland terrace]

brick

[heavy summit]

brick fits

[woven drift]

rope is more for outside fossils and museums

[heavy summit]

rope is reserved for more regal stuff

[barren swift]

anybody feel like coming t my island real quick and telling me if what i did is too much?

[wintry junco]

Rope if it's near the water, brick otherwise

[next mural]

If anyone else finds a bamboo solution lmk lol
For context I’m trying to STOP it from growing, I planted a 2x3 area of shoots and 2 of the corners kept growing even when I surrounded them with patterns or items or changed the path to sand. If you have any ideas DM me and I’ll try it out

[woven drift]

the only bits im happy with is my residential zones and the museum

[wintry junco]

^ same

[patent sky]

@next mural idk if it'll mess up the aesthetic but plant saplings next to them? That should stop it I think

[tawny glacier]

yall know what's pure ecstasy, when it rains and your natural cliffside flowers start growing hybrids......

[woven drift]

coz my double south rivers i got no where to put a shopping area which i really really wanna do

[patent sky]

@woven drift where's your res services at

[bitter bramble]

was thinking of making an arcade outside my house, any opinions on what pathing and fencing i should use?

[wintry junco]

Most people with that layout tend to put all of the "city" stuff in the middle, below the river

[wind wind]

^ That's what I tried to do

[woven drift]

that is actually what i was thinking lol

[tawny glacier]

i have a big cliff near my house that im gonna make a retrowave lounge

[woven drift]

@patent sky basically in the middle but a bit lower

[wind wind]

The idea of having a city surrounded by a river actually sounds really nice, but the lack of space kills that idea

[tawny glacier]

its the natural side of my island but idgaf, its gonna BE A 10/10 VIBE ZONE

[woven drift]

all about dem vibes

[tawny glacier]

gonna get me some of those light up palm trees and its gonna be SICKKKKKK

[wintry junco]

Eh honestly because the area still connects to the mainland you'd still have tons of room for other stuff on the sides and top

[woven drift]

i cant wait to finish my museum its gonna look greattt

[primal ginkgo]

Should I add an extra cliff to make the waterfalls taller?

[errant slate]

Includes
Orchard
Zen garden
Residential area
Hilltop cafe
Flower patch
Shop
Town square
Pop up shop area
Campgroun

And more :)

[wintry junco]

Nice!

[errant slate]

5* gang

[woven drift]

also happy with my camping site

[wind wind]

@woven drift this is what I was thinking for the shopping center

[inland terrace]

just because someone has a pretty map doesnt mean mine is ugly just because someone has a pretty map doesnt mean mine is ugly just beca-

[patent sky]

@primal ginkgo its really hard to tell from the pic

[wind wind]

Not sure if my poor planning will give you inspiration, but there it is anyway

[woven drift]

@wind wind me and you have a very simular river layout.

[wind wind]

Yea, it's hard not to on double south

[errant slate]

Time travel pog

[tawny glacier]

@inland terrace just vibe girl damnnn, its alright. what i did is was take the best from two worlds and take the two themes i like most instead of sticking to one theme. Suburban and natural at the same time, so if i see some dude with a dope natural island i can say "well my island has that and a city scape"

[heavy summit]

the one big problem of having a perfect island, theres nothing left to do, if you dont plan on bulldozing and changing themes

[primal ginkgo]

@patent sky

Is this any better? I feel like it’s a bit lack luster

[woven drift]

suffering from success @heavy summit

[tawny glacier]

@kay add some bushes to the tops of the waterfall!

[errant slate]

Taller?

[tawny glacier]

@primal ginkgo

[inland terrace]

@tawny glacier I did the same im just playin LOL I just see more stuff and I feel like doin it all over LOLOL

[primal ginkgo]

Yeah I will be adding them everywhere when I get them haha

[tawny glacier]

WE SHRUB NOW BBOYS

[wintry junco]

I wish they allowed multiple islands on one switch. So when you're done with one island you can make another

[patent sky]

@primal ginkgo yea try out taller maybe

[woven drift]

@wintry junco or so if you have siblings you dont have to share an island

[wintry junco]

That too lmao Nintendo makes some of the most stupid decisions sometimes

[delicate juniper]

the shrubs that leif sells r so coollll

[wintry junco]

3.5 more hours 😭

[delicate juniper]

hes already here for me

[woven drift]

@wintry junco YES deffiently in new horzions as well

[wind wind]

No cloud saves

[woven drift]

8 bridges and inclines

[wintry junco]

no bulk crafting

[patent sky]

Im still so mad about that limit

[wind wind]

No diagonal paths

[patent sky]

no diagonal fences

[woven drift]

the existence of double south islands

[brittle bridge]

Can somebody help me with my island layout? will pay in nook miles tickets! DM me for details. looking for people with nice layouts

[wind wind]

At least there's no north river outlets

[sudden rune]

wait can we have 8 bridges and 8 incline or 8 total?

[wind wind]

8 of each

[wintry junco]

that little grass strip that appears when two different tiles are next to each other

[sudden rune]

ok dope that scared me

[woven drift]

8 bridges and 8 inclines per island

Quick tip for those who want so squeeze some extra detail into bushes, do dirt paths under bushes to add a nice little detail!

[alpine kiln]

how are yours grown already

[woven drift]

time travel

[tawny glacier]

time travel gang

[wind wind]

tons of dialogue when talking to the Dodos

[sudden rune]

can you crossbreed bushes or are they like trees? lmao

[tawny glacier]

@wind wind FAXXXX

[stiff gale]

wait can we have 8 bridges and 8 incline or 8 total?
@sudden rune 8 bridges and 8 inclines

[woven drift]

They are like trees

[alpine kiln]

they are like flowers regarding planting but no cross breeding

[sudden rune]

okay bless

[wintry junco]

"would you like to connect to online or local play?"

[heavy summit]

mine came grown automatically with flowers wtf

[woven drift]

terraforming is very game ruining

[sudden rune]

I was gonna say that would be more stress

[woven drift]

they can also go next to cliffs, houses, rivers, and up to beach border (not on beach however)

[alpine kiln]

they only take 1x1 tile, so you can plant next to water and cliffs

[woven drift]

@heavy summit lmao

[wind wind]

Actually, I don't want to go anywhere near the multiplayer system. That's an entire paragraph of complaints

[tawny glacier]

but yall ever talk to gulliver every time he comes back to ur island..... LITERALLY HAVE TO SIT THROUGH 21 PAGES OF THE SAME DIALOGUE EVERY TIME!!!!!

[quaint vector]

Does anyone have hibiscus starts and know if sweet olives shrubs are in the game

[sudden rune]

I spent like 2 hours terraforming my airport entramce

[woven drift]

they are whatyasay

[rich tundra]

My current entrance

[woven drift]

how about talking to blathers !! DO NOT GET ME STARTED

[quaint vector]

Sweet olives or tea olives @woven drift

[tawny glacier]

i still think gulliver and orville are the worst

[wintry junco]

and the dialogue when you catch a fish. "It's at least a C+"

[tawny glacier]

OH AND THAT DAMN WISP!

[heavy summit]

holding down b makes the text go faster tho

[wind wind]

This may be because of my own stupidity, but I hate clicking "donate" before you assess fossils, and have to go through the entire dialogue again

[tawny glacier]

giving me a whole darn speech for 10 minutes just for me to go collect his little ghost shards for the 50th time

[woven drift]

@woven drift tea olives (two kinds)

[sudden rune]

@rich tundra mine is similar but with two waterfalls on each side and only 2 levels!!!

[woven drift]

no by much tho and its still time consuming @heavy summit but deffinitley helps

[wintry junco]

Ohh the worst is when you enter the dodo code wrong and have to go through the entire 2 min dialogue with Wilbur again

[echo sparrow]

is this what it’s supposed to end up looking like?

[sudden rune]

I’m gonna start really terraforming my east island area cause that’s what people see when they fly over lmaooo

[echo sparrow]

it looks a little awkward haha especially when first coming in

[tawny glacier]

@echo sparrow the front part is wrong, the flats are for a completely different set of patterns

you mixed the peg pattern with the flat pattern

[sudden rune]

@echo sparrow hmmm i don’t think so

[echo sparrow]

oh

[patent sky]

Oh uh I think it's just supposed to be flat across the front but that could work

[sudden rune]

i love you pfp btw lmao

[echo sparrow]

well that’s silly of me lol thanks

[tawny glacier]

np

[rich tundra]

@sudden rune ooh I bet the waterfall look nice! I’m addicted to hills lol. I have max height hill all the way around haha

[wind wind]

You guys working towards getting your dream villagers yet?

[turbid raptor]

how many squares is a campsite?? does anyone know the dimensions?

[echo sparrow]

i thought it was supposed to be like that so the grass in the middle looked like you were “stepping” up

[woven drift]

yeah shouldnt guliver and wisp only show up like once or twice it gets annoying af after a while they should really work on more npcs like that so its something different

[wind wind]

gulliver's pretty useful for farming rusted parts

So I don't mind him too much

[wintry junco]

My dream villagers need to come in before the museum upgrade. Can't have Al making the celebration ugly

[odd hedge]

lol

[woven drift]

lmaoo

[tawny glacier]

oh, and dont get me started with this damn nook stop, like bruh. i honestly gotta wait 2 minutes to print out one nook miles ticket 😑

[wind wind]

And we can't print multiple at once

[stiff gale]

My Island's entrance. I tried to create like theme-park island 🎪

[odd hedge]

i've got bob, marina, zucker, and carmen. theyre my dreamies, , i also have canberra phoebe and flip who are starters,, then i have clyde quillson and phil who i absolutely hATE JKSDHGJDSB

You guys working towards getting your dream villagers yet?

[woven drift]

egg day 🤮

[tawny glacier]

or or or, when your villagers see you placing pathways and they purposely plop themselves down in front of you and eat there sandwiches like the evil spawns they are

[barren swift]

if you’re like me and your secret beach isn’t too accessible, i recommend tossing an incline there like me

[wind wind]

Oh wow, that's a really nice group monaca

[wintry junco]

I hope zipper never comes back

[primal ginkgo]

@stiff gale Aw! Rudy in the back looks like he’s welcoming you in!

[woven drift]

@barren swift waste of an incline in my opinion

[wind wind]

I tried getting some of the ones I wanted in this server, and I stopped after people offered me Marshal for 300 nook mile tickets

[barren swift]

yea it could be but i have the extra inclines to use so i might as well @woven drift

[swift pier]

is the museum getting any bigger?? i mean like space wise as a building

[stiff gale]

@stiff gale Aw! Rudy in the back looks like he’s welcoming you in!
@primal ginkgo yeah, he was running like naruto lol

[woven drift]

offering raymond for 69.8B Bells + 6609 nmt

[barren swift]

nice

[wind wind]

Exactly, lol

[odd hedge]

ouch. instead of trading u can just go island hopping. if you find any popular villagers that you dont want you can try trading them for ur dreamies

I tried getting some of the ones I wanted in this server, and I stopped after people offered me Marshal for 300 nook mile tickets

[wintry junco]

@woven drift what a bargain

[wind wind]

Yea, sucks that I need to wait for a villager to move out, though

[rich tundra]

My islanders chose me so I don’t kick them. Not even huck

[woven drift]

nooklings selling for 20 per turnip Fee= 79,659,876,432 NMT

[wind wind]

Tried amiibo cards too, but I'm not paying 50 dollars for zucker

[strong scaffold]

lmaoo

[sudden rune]

guys when is brewster coming around

[patent sky]

What is "extra inclines"

[wind wind]

Hopefully soon

[wintry junco]

If Nintendo released an update for unlimited inclines and bridges I would be happy

[strong scaffold]

diana really tried to move out

[patent sky]

Even just 10 would be amazing

[woven drift]

brewster hasnt been confirmed yet but im purposely leaving space for it LMAOO

[versed depot]

Bridges over canyons would help a ton too.

[tawny glacier]

oh hell yeah @versed depot

[wintry junco]

Game changer

[rich tundra]

But our player has big ass head

[odd hedge]

oh i hate it when my favourite villagers ask to move out

[tawny glacier]

bonk

[versed depot]

I’m literally trying to figure out how to stretch my last three inclines right now :/

[woven drift]

@versed depot yes like the wooden ones over like the cliffs and stuff would be amazinnnng

ive wasted 4 inclines on my museum entrance but its gonna be worth it

[patent sky]

Suspension bridge over cliffs...

[tawny glacier]

@patent sky makes too much sense

[sudden rune]

i need a cafe

[wintry junco]

bridges over cliffs would make my town look so much more city like

[wind wind]

Villagers need to move out more tbh

[woven drift]

@wind wind pango moved in for literally 3 days and asked to move out

[sudden rune]

i just want to get coffee every morning 😔

[rich tundra]

My island is mostly hills and mountains so yeah it md be great

[wind wind]

Newer villagers are easier to get out because your friendship level is lower
