island-designs

[deep saffron]

Honestly i just want an easier way to terraform,
Like with an overview where u can manually add things super fast,
It would help me so much so I wouldn’t lose interest in what I’m building

[wind wind]

it's the villagers that have been on your island for longer that are hard to get rid of

[woven drift]

also being able to move rocks like trees would be cool since they always pop up in bad spots

[barren swift]

someone come to my island and give an opinion on something for me lol

[woven drift]

i must keep roald at all costs

[tawny glacier]

@deep saffron honest to god, terraforming is a game ruiner for alot of people, it takes alot of stress and too much time and effort

[sudden rune]

if they could add like a little hit box or something that would be great

[rich tundra]

Use clean up to delete trees if unwanted

[wintry junco]

Hot take like how long terraforming takes, it makes the end product feel more rewarding

[woven drift]

or a better way to aim your fishing rod

[sudden rune]

@rich tundra WHAT

[tawny glacier]

everything else is so easy in this game and terraforming is so stress inducing that it just ruins the game for some people because they accidentally mess it up

[sudden rune]

that’s what clean up does?

[versed depot]

Personally I think terraforming is fine.

[deep saffron]

@tawny glacier yeah that’s why, my current terraforming is stressing me out TONS,
So that would make it easier on me personally

[sudden rune]

i’m stupid

[ancient ore]

is anyone else overwhelmed and not sure how to design their island 🌚

[woven drift]

terraforming is game breakin to be honest you can just build whatever you please lol

[rich tundra]

Lol it puts items and fences in recycle and deletes trees yeah

[sudden rune]

@ancient ore yes

[wintry junco]

If I could terraform easily then this would be a game I play for like a week then drop

[zenith cave]

is anyone else overwhelmed and not sure how to design their island 🌚
yes

[woven drift]

@ancient ore i mean who isnt

[sudden rune]

@rich tundra ugghh thanks for letting me know

[wind wind]

I know what I want on my island, but the execution part failed @ancient ore

[sudden rune]

i’m doing a little bit at a time

[ancient ore]

i’m lost (;

[sudden rune]

I’m doing my lower right

[deep saffron]

I’ve restarted mine entirely 3 times now It’s so stressful

[worthy tendon]

i hate my island's layout rn, it's so hard to progress when you're the second player on an island

[barren swift]

gah visit me

[sudden rune]

ah that sucks

[rich tundra]

I like current terraforming because when people see my finished island they will know how much effort and dedication went into it! But I understand how it would be disliked by most

[onyx shadow]

Yeah I'm fine with slowly getting my island the way I want it. Otherwise, what's the fun in getting everything you want in a week or so?

[echo sparrow]

i’ve yet to put the instruments but thoughts so far?

[deep saffron]

@worthy tendon YES, it’s MY game and my brother started on the switch so I constantly have to change account

[sudden rune]

@echo sparrow love it!

[onyx shadow]

@echo sparrow looks good!

[wind wind]

Terraforming is nice, but the amount of creativity it allows is stressful, lol

[echo sparrow]

thanks !! :D

[woven drift]

@wind wind mood

[versed depot]

I do not understand people that get stressed from options...

[stiff gale]

is anyone else overwhelmed and not sure how to design their island 🌚
@ancient ore has been there before. It gets easier once you choose your idea (city/suburb/western/japan/etc)

[echo sparrow]

is the live music sign a little too much? should i take it away?

[deep saffron]

And seeing other islands too and wishing i could do that,
But i can’t focus on tasks for long enough and i lose motivation-

[sudden rune]

i hate going on reddit tbh because i see other people’s beautifully developed islands and i get jealous lol

[onyx shadow]

@echo sparrow keep the sign!!

@sudden rune I like to go on Reddit to get inspiration

[quasi eagle]

after many days of terraforming and frustration (i probably cried at least once lol), i finally finished my map! just gotta work on decorating now 😄 i'm like 2/3rds done decorating my island

[sudden rune]

true the inspiration is good too

[wintry junco]

Imo if you used the simple panel the sign would look better @echo sparrow

[ancient ore]

@stiff gale thanks hehe

[barren swift]

i’m finally a 4*

[woven drift]

@quasi eagle can i see your museum exterior? looks amazing btw

[onyx shadow]

I haven't seen a simple panel yet 😭😭

[wind wind]

I look on reddit for inspiration, but I always keep in mind that people are going to have much more than me b/c of time traveling

[sudden rune]

oh true simple panel would look great

[echo sparrow]

alrighty will try it

@wintry junco

@onyx shadow i can let you touch trade or even send you one :p

[pearl nimbus]

Thoughts? I am trying to sick with the natural flow of the island

[zenith cave]

thats amazing

[wind wind]

oh btw @woven drift how's your island looking? Since we had similar ideas

[onyx shadow]

@echo sparrow

[unique pond]

oh yeahhh @woven drift how's your museum + staircases going?

[woven drift]

@wind wind ill show u in a sec switch chargin rn

[quasi eagle]

it looks so nice at night!!

[onyx shadow]

I'm fine with either touch trade or whatever

[woven drift]

@unique pond great i figgured it out ! really lovin it so far

[echo sparrow]

@onyx shadow will add you soon

[onyx shadow]

Sounds good!

Oh that is so cute and bright! @wild cave

[wild cave]

i wish my pics didnt take up so much space /:

thanks! @onyx shadow

[onyx shadow]

I may need to steal some ideas!

[quasi eagle]

hope i'm allowed to post this vid but i also finished my secret forest area yesterday! really proud of it. 😊 sorry for the plug lol https://www.instagram.com/p/B_TCj_WJgAm/

[strong sable]

Heyo I'm not really sure what to do with these houses...I'm trying to use less space

[echo sparrow]

should i move it to the other end?

[keen karma]

Good News: Different music players can now play different songs at the same time

Bad News: Only 30 music players will work at the same time 🙃

[echo sparrow]

i wish you could change the color of the panel so it’s white D:

[quasi eagle]

Good News: Different music players can now play different songs at the same time

Bad News: Only 30 music players will work at the same time 🙃
@keen karma this is excellent news omg

[heavy summit]

i have like 30 music players all over my map

aaaahhhh

[keen karma]

i have more than 30

[wild cave]

i wish you could change the color of the panel so it’s white D:
@echo sparrow im pretty sure you can

[strong sable]

I saw a youtube with a white panel

[keen karma]

and if it exceeds 30 the first one you turned on will turn off

[onyx shadow]

I think either side will look good @echo sparrow

[versed depot]

@quasi eagle That’s gorgeous, do you have the qr for that path?

[fossil geode]

So does anyone have any ideas for a trading area?

[woven drift]

Will be moving houses on the left soon and the museum to the top left nothing special what so ever but it's getting better everyday

[quasi eagle]

@quasi eagle That’s gorgeous, do you have the qr for that path?
@versed depot i will DM you!

[versed depot]

Thank you!

[woven drift]

as you can see double south has been a pain for me lol

[zenith cave]

i wanna re do my whole musuem entrance now lmao

[wind wind]

Looks great so far, the struggle of double south is real though, hah

I like the idea of keeping the houses to one side

[dapper canyon]

Im kinda mad i went with double south. Still dont know how to make it work lol

[versed wadi]

Are there patch notes anywhere?

[woven drift]

Museum entrance thus far

[strong sable]

The one house I'm pretty proud of is kabuki's

[onyx shadow]

Looks nice so far! @woven drift

[woven drift]

ahhaahah thxxx

[onyx shadow]

That's a cute house

[wind wind]

Looks clean, but rip 4 incline spaces

[woven drift]

ik lol

[onyx shadow]

Money suckers haha

[strong sable]

Indeed Dx making all museums look off

[woven drift]

And here is neighbourhood area sorry about photo spam I just have no one to share it with lol

[onyx shadow]

Spam away!

[frail gust]

I like your neighborhood area!

[wind wind]

I like how connected everything is, with the houses sharing a front and back yard

makes it feel so open, yet organized

[frail gust]

This is my plan, and I moved Luckys house to see how actual houses looked there aaaaand I very much love it, I’m excited to move them all

[craggy nebula]

Does anyone do requests for a outdoor cafe?

[versed wadi]

@dapper canyon I capped off one mouth and turned it into a water feature in my park area

[wind wind]

So, I was thinking, what if I removed the blue area to give the houses more space, and turn the red area into an entrance with a fountain to tie together both sides of the middle?

[frail gust]

Are u serious. U gave ur villagers themed areas. That’s so adorable I LOVE it

[strong sable]

I really wanna see that island looks like it would be super interestingn

[versed wadi]

Some villagers are getting promoted out of the village

I’ve only done Dobie’s hideaway so far, as part of my campsite/woodlands work

That’s where I got to with it last night

[zenith cave]

Started my pink azaleas + pink flowers garden

[unique pond]

it's you again!!! i'm a huge fan of your island!!! @versed wadi ❤️

[versed depot]

Wait are those log shelves?

[strong sable]

Oh your island is the one I was looking at earlier for ideas xD

[woven drift]

OMG SCOOT IS SINGING TO KK REGGAE I CANTT

[thick tendon]

can anyone tell me how long I'd have to play Pocket Camp to get those special items?

[open berry]

my islands a huge WIP but these areas are mostly done - i was inspired by the tomb raider series since i played the recent trilogy while in my teens ^.^

[versed wadi]

la!

That all looks incredible!

[open berry]

ahhh tysm 🥺💕

[versed wadi]

Love the museum and Able’s

[woven drift]

Guys its recommended to by HEAPS from leif since hes gonna be gone for a little while this week

[rigid idol]

It looks amazing ! I need to work on mine now 😄

[wild cave]

natural themed islands look so pretty i just cant create them myself (‘:

[zenith cave]

^ same

[versed wadi]

@unique pond aw thanks!

[strong sable]

Oh yea that ables is amazing

[open berry]

i know a lot of people say to not be discouraged by what you're making but it's 100% okay if you want to completely redo your island! i had 3 different layouts/themes before i finally loved this one.

[versed wadi]

Nooooo!

[rigid idol]

It takes hell of a long time to move everything though, since you can only move one house per day. Probably gonna do it at some point anyway

[open berry]

oh yeh that's the only reason i've time travelled, it's a bit of a dumb mechanic. i totally get if you wanna do yours legit though!

[strong sable]

Mines been completely revamped once ...I had made a japanese shrine and then changed my mind cause I wanted more of a woods

[polar salmon]

@zenith cave how did you make the bushes continuous?

[rigid idol]

I'm probably gonna change everything when I sell the next turnip batch, money is running a bit low right now ahah

[distant mango]

You guys have so much creativity when it came to creating your islands

mine doesn't even compare to the level you guys are at

[turbid sparrow]

Just takes time

[open berry]

my first theme was gonna be a mushroom forest before i found out i had to wait until the 30th of april for mushrooms, then my 2nd theme was a pastel pink theme which made my island really boring, then my 3rd theme was a japanese/anime inspired little village theme and then i finally decided to go with an ancient/overgrown jungle theme

[pure furnace]

Timmy and Tommy have their own VIP parking space at Nooks Cranny.

[woven drift]

i love it

[turbid sparrow]

who gave the 10 years olds diver's licenses

That seems dangerous!

[elder agate]

i feel liek my island has no potential and idk what to do i feel unmotivated i’m only at one star and i want terraforming any tips? 🥺🥺

*like

[rigid idol]

I started making a more rural island but I find it boring right now, stopped moving anything until I find a theme I really like

[turbid sparrow]

to get to 3 stars just slap down lots of decorations

items, fences, flowers, etc.

[pure furnace]

@turbid sparrow “Sir, please step away from the tricycle.”

[rugged rain]

Does anyone know anyone that has a very open space in front of their secret beach with a lot of small water and land areas infront? I saw a picture somewhere yesterday or the day before and I can’t find it anywhere. I’m not even sure where u saw it. I’m getting so frustrated by it 😦

[elder agate]

@turbid sparrow thanks for the tip 🙂

[left wigeon]

can anyone show me their maps??? i need inspiration before i change my entire layout!!!

[turbid sparrow]

if you don't know what to do next for rating talk to Isabelle and do whatever she recommends

[pure furnace]

Are you still getting K.K.?

[rigid idol]

@left wigeon I would suggest going on youtube and watch some island tours videos, you can find a ton of awesome islands there

[strong sable]

I have my house by my secret beach but it doesnt look to great...havent really worked on it

[turbid sparrow]

I didn't realize I had a secret beach for a long time

it's currently only accessible with a ladder

[undone raft]

Can anyone help me figure out a layout? Ill send my island so far but i just need a lot of help haha

[river cedar]

i think everybody has a secret beach

[turbid sparrow]

yeah

[distant mango]

I do

[rigid idol]

Yep, it's always north

[distant mango]

Made it by accident

[woven drift]

everyone does

[turbid sparrow]

I just didn't realize they existed for a couple weeks haha

[river cedar]

yeah its kinda useless but i mean it's there

[prime tusk]

@elder agate you can’t even get 2 stars until you have enough villagers

[rugged rain]

No some has it in a different place

[open berry]

its not useless anymore!

[woven drift]

they must becuase redd will dock there

[rugged rain]

I was looking for pictures of it

[versed wadi]

@rosepi don’t worry too much about the map. Work on how your areas look and take it a section at a time

[elder agate]

@prime tusk :ooo oh i didn’t know lol thanks

[rigid idol]

It's not useless anymore with the update, Redd will come sell art stuff

[strong sable]

My secret beach just hanging by my house ... yep they have redd now

[river cedar]

YES redd

[woven drift]

Y'all like my campsite?

[undone raft]

Wait redd is in the game?!

[river cedar]

trippie redd? nah. animal crossing red. YES

[stiff gale]

my northern island is full of cliff, and I don't want to make an incline just for secret beach. So I put gravestones there to make it like graveyard 😅

[turbid sparrow]

He was added in today's patch

[undone raft]

Awesome!

[zenith cave]

does anyone know the dimensions of the musuem?

[woven drift]

he comes tomrowo tho

[turbid sparrow]

make sure you get the patch before tomorrow so you have a chance for him to show up

[versed wadi]

@stiff gale do you have a pic? Working on a greaveyard area for Lucky to tend to tonight

[woven drift]

he comes the day after you talk to blathers about the art area

[distant mango]

Redd is back?

[river cedar]

yes!

[distant mango]

SWEET!

[turbid sparrow]

redd and leif are back

as of today

[open berry]

i'll send my map layout once i'm more done with my island, i'm at about 75% rn

[distant mango]

That's actually sick

[river cedar]

my island i mean it looks cute but it's not organized like at all

[turbid sparrow]

I'm hesitant to show off my town a lotta the times cuz I almost always have at least 1 area in a half-finished mess of a state lol

[undone raft]

Wish we were able tomove resident services

[river cedar]

AND our house

[rancid shale]

Hello friends
I’m considering putting my shops on a second level directly behind resident services. Has anyone done this yet? Does it look good? I would like to see how it looks before I go through all the work to do it

[turbid sparrow]

you can move your house

[river cedar]

wait what

[distant mango]

We know if Leif will have his own store again?

[open berry]

omg shiny u didnt see? @distant mango https://twitter.com/animalcrossing/status/1252582860361531393?s=21

[turbid sparrow]

leif shows up as a visitor

[river cedar]

to sell flowers

[distant mango]

I didn't. I rarely use twitter

[turbid sparrow]

@river cedar You can move your house the same as the other buildings

[river cedar]

the days of buying flowers from nooks cranny are OVER

[open berry]

he also sells more non native flowers

[distant mango]

That's some good stuff

[open berry]

i cant waitttt for the coffee shop ahhh

[woven drift]

and shrubs are backkk

[river cedar]

@turbid sparrow thanks i can FINALLY move it again i hate where i put it first

[turbid sparrow]

if they add the coffee shop this channel is gonna be a panic of people not knowing where the heck to fit the shop into their fully designed islands haha

[distant mango]

Oh

Bushes. I like that

[open berry]

lmao ikr!

[woven drift]

thats why im only working on a third of it lol

i want to make sure it has room to develop

[turbid sparrow]

Yeah I'm leaving some empty space

so I have room for future ideas/additions

[open berry]

i dont think they'll add many more facilities, if they add a post office they're gonna make it go half and half with the inside of the airport

[woven drift]

fortunately the secret beach and my pier are on the same side

so im working on like a whole column

of the map

[distant mango]

This is pretty cool

[unique pond]

does anyone know why isabelle says i have too many things lying about on the floor? i barely have any trash lying around, and all my unwanted furniture is placed in open spaces instead of dropped

[distant mango]

Time to test my eye for art and see if I buy fakes

[woven drift]

if its just dropped on the ground intentionally it counts as left on the ground

when not "placed"

if that makes sense

[turbid sparrow]

anything dropped instead of placed/planted will count

[quasi eagle]

does anyone know why isabelle says i have too many things lying about on the floor? i barely have any trash lying around, and all my unwanted furniture is placed in open spaces instead of dropped
@unique pond my friend had this exact same problem. dropped items even if on tables still count! <-- this might be your problem~

[unique pond]

yup, i get you! all my furniture is placed though. hahaha. and i don't have any tables to put stuff on either! do unpicked-up tree branches and wasp nests count?

[versed wadi]

Ugh if Isabelle makes me clean up my woodland for her picky sensibilities then I’ll be gutted!

[turbid sparrow]

yeah pretty sure those count

but not 100% on that

[quasi eagle]

@unique pond wasp nest count, any NATURALLY occurring items like stones, shells, and branches, star fragments DON"T count

[frozen finch]

would a 30 stack of stone count if i place it down, in that case?

my crafting materials are everywhere due to lack of storage

[versed wadi]

@quasi eagle good to know!

[keen scroll]

@open berry pretty late, but do you have any images of your overgrown jungle theme?? would love to see!

[unique pond]

ahhh ok.. i don't even have more than 5 things on the ground... but lemme try to pick up everything anyway haha

[distant mango]

Do we know if Leif and Redd have set days to visit or are they random?

[unique pond]

maybe the eval only changes once every few days? i did have lots of trash on the ground like two days ago

[neon sluice]

Does anyone have time to pop by my island and give me some feed back <3! It would mean the world to me

[frozen finch]

the eval changes instantly @unique pond

[distant mango]

My original plan was to cover the secret beach since it didn't have a use, but now I have to build around it

[turbid sparrow]

I'm not too worried about mine

[dense cloak]

I'm looking for sempai of detailing. I have a 5* island I'm looking to take to the next level but need help detailing each of the sections etc. Is anyone willing to help. Can tip some nmt for your troubles

[turbid sparrow]

he'll prob only show up every now and then anyways I'd rather use my ladder twice then redo that whole section haha

[distant mango]

True

[woven hill]

Is my sand area too busy or its fine?

[woven drift]

seems a little too small imo

[misty cradle]

Does anyone have river mouths like this? I need help figuring out how to make my rivers 😬

[turbid sparrow]

only thing that looks a little weird to me is the dirt circle at the top

[quasi eagle]

@woven hill why don't you actually bury something there to create the X instead of a placed X? o:

[woven hill]

yea i just thought of that now lol

i made it small cuz its my front yard to my house my private island

[dense cloak]

Also does anyone know if it's possible to hang interior wall decorations outside?

[turbid sparrow]

it is not

sadly

[river cedar]

can you hang them on cliffs?

that would be cool

[turbid sparrow]

That would be cool indeed I hope that add that at some point

[woven hill]

they only inside i believe only door stuff you can put like reefs and stuff

[versed wadi]

@misty cradle I do. I ended up capping one off.

[misty cradle]

@versed wadi Could I see your map as like inspiration?

[hidden grove]

How you guy deal with this they not in the center and I don’t know how to fill the awkward gap

[woven drift]

Did everyone get pink/white azelia and red/yellow hibiscus?

[unique pond]

stuff it with cute flowers!

[river cedar]

@unique pond genius

[zenith cave]

@woven drift im pretty sure everyone got azelias but the other flower is different

[woven drift]

:o

[versed depot]

Did not get azelias.

They’re all random.

[zenith cave]

ah

[river cedar]

i got pansies

[woven drift]

Omg i must find shrub friends to swap with

[zenith cave]

sadly they cant bloom in some seasons

[turbid sparrow]

Can you buy from other people's leif? If so we could do visits

[unique pond]

hey everyone who told me about clearing dropped items! i picked up my wasp nests and now isabelle doesn't complain about them anymore! thanks hahaha

[river cedar]

pretty sure you can

just like how you can buy from their kicks

[woven drift]

I'm down to test it @turbid sparrow 😁

[turbid sparrow]

I won't have him till tomorrow cuz no TT haha

[woven drift]

I don't TT either lol, it's just 7:45am

Because I am an adult and I play animal crossing before work 😅

[turbid sparrow]

ooh ok still 11:45 PM here

[open berry]

@keen scroll ahh sorry for the late reply! here u go

[turbid sparrow]

waaa those lamps are sick

never seen them before

[open berry]

theyre called tall lanterns if you're wondering :) i customised them to be mossy

[versed wadi]

@misty cradle

[misty cradle]

Thank you :))

[open berry]

omg ur map looks so pretty and well organised

[analog ore]

I put my houses way too close together so now im panicking trying to get organized and moving a house costs 50,000 each

[unique pond]

omg i want lucky and i would totally build him a graveyard tooooo

[stiff gale]

Woah very natural map

[versed wadi]

Lucky is moving in tomorrow 🙂

[elder thunder]

I really need some inspo on island entrances and shopping centers!

[distant mango]

I hate the way mine looks because it looks like I have so much pathing

[zenith cave]

why did the musuem have to be an odd number xd

[polar plover]

I’m here for trying to copy someone because I’m not creative :) thanks for the posts

[primal ginkgo]

@zenith cave it messes up my path too lol

[distant mango]

and it just looks weird

[turbid sparrow]

Mine so far, WIP

[zenith cave]

@primal ginkgo it makes terraforming a strain

[versed wadi]

Lucky visits!

[open berry]

i cannot begin to explain to u how many times the museum being an odd number stuffed me up

[distant mango]

Yeah, you guys have super cool island designs

[unique pond]

OMG gulliver gave me a lucky cattttt im so happy hahaha

[woven hill]

my thing is paths how thick what type to use once i get that done everything comes together i have a plan of my homes each with a theme but thats all i got

[primal ginkgo]

He gave me a nutcracker today ^^

[left wigeon]

i had to visually plan mine out 75% of the way because i’m scared of just moving things and it not working out!!!

[turbid sparrow]

@left wigeon Where's your 2nd river mouth?

[primal ginkgo]

I’m slowly getting my actual terraforming done just doing one small section at a time to help me plan it out I ditched planning it out on Happy island designer entirely

@left wigeon you need to make sure to put a river up on cliffs or you can’t catch all the fish ^^

[distant mango]

My layout is super basic

[left wigeon]

@turbid sparrow i forgot to edit it in!!!

[autumn pivot]

My layout is pretty basic as well

[errant tartan]

Any examples of how people are decorating their town squares? I'm having issues with tree placement

[distant mango]

it's just the top half is forest and the bottom is village

[keen scroll]

Thank you la!! 😄 it looks so nice - especially in that weather haha ! i love the mix of coconuts and bamboo, makes it look so lush

[turbid sparrow]

Mine's very cloth to my starting layout, I just tweaked it and added paths lol

[left wigeon]

so i have a huge circle basically of my rivers connecting

[autumn pivot]

My town square

[left wigeon]

it’s STRESSFUL

[elder thunder]

I’m trying something like this but Idk where to put It

[primal ginkgo]

Ohh that’s so cute

[pearl nacelle]

@autumn pivothow did u get that color of bricks?

[ionic coral]

Anyone know the the name of the flower cart item in this photo

[turbid sparrow]

@ionic coral Garden wagon I believe

[autumn pivot]

Nothing flashy pretty basic but my layout is pretty basic

[primal ginkgo]

I always get mad when I just finish an area and then someone sends their’s that look 100% better than what I just finished lmao

[ionic coral]

@turbid sparrow ty!

[distant mango]

Same

[empty moon]

How are y’all designing museum entrances? Struggling

[autumn pivot]

@pearl nacelle its a QR path

[primal ginkgo]

I’ve posted mine before but here it is @empty moon

[pearl nacelle]

Can anybody teach me on how to change color of preset layout of the path on island designer?

[empty moon]

Ooh that’s nice

[real vessel]

SQUAAAWWWK

[autumn pivot]

My museum entrance im working on it still

[empty moon]

I’m trying to do a tiered layout for the museum but I’m not sure it’s working

[distant mango]

This is my museum entrance

[primal ginkgo]

There’s an example of a tiered one haha

[empty moon]

Ooh could I see your map layout? That is just what I’m going for

[whole bear]

Posting this before I make changes to it~

My seaside beach vacation home

[turbid sparrow]

Be a rebel, put your museum in a corner and make a tiered entrance to nook's cranny lol

[autumn pivot]

My island is pretty basic its city/mountain chic

[unique pond]

Posting this before I make changes to it~

My seaside beach vacation home
@whole bear wtf, don't change it, it's perfect

[empty moon]

My museum is in a corner lol

[autumn pivot]

This is the start of club cranny!

[frozen finch]

@primal ginkgo i love the signs outside your museum! havent seen that before

[distant mango]

That is pretty cool

[turbid sparrow]

@frozen finch Those are simple panels with custom designs customized on

[primal ginkgo]

@frozen finch yeah! Since I’ve done them I’ve seen a lot of people doing the same thing and it looks so nice!

[left wigeon]

anyone else have beach inspo?? mine is so BLAND

[whole bear]

@unique pond LOL thank you!, I found some new patterns for sand and better color themed items so I'm just switching it up a bit

[polar plover]

I saw this somewhere and wanted to copy besides the curved paths

[frozen finch]

i'm kind of scared to start terraforming, especially without a detailed plan yet

[autumn pivot]

And this is my city area

[frozen finch]

i've just done small edits like jumping paths so far

[polar plover]

Yeah same fish

[real vessel]

terraform ur heart out

[polar plover]

I wanna be 100% sure on my layout first

[real vessel]

my entire island was made on a whim without a plan lol

[primal ginkgo]

@frozen finch honestly? Don’t bother with one. I started with a plan and it just made me upset so I just do small pieces and try to fit all my little ideas in

[real vessel]

as long as you have a general idea of what you want you'll be fine

[primal ginkgo]

I’m much happier winging it

[rugged rain]

@open berry Could I visit your island today? It looks really cool! Tag me or pm me please if it’s okay 🙂

[turbid sparrow]

I wouldn't have fun not doing anything till I had a perfect plan, I just started doing stuff and if I decide I don't like it later I'll redo it

[worthy tendon]

can you plant flowers on jumping paths?

[whole bear]

@left wigeon Since you cant terraform beach themed patterns and coconut trees help to fill a lot of the dead space

[distant mango]

I winged mine

[real vessel]

my island is half nature half THICC VILLAGE

Pls ignore me I just woke up

[distant mango]

I'm just improvising as I go

[woven hill]

thank god terraforming tools dont break imagine if we had to craft stuff just to make floors or cliffs i be done with the game lol

[versed wadi]

Still winging. Working around my island clockwise

[real vessel]

Nothing about my island is thicc.

[distant mango]

So far it's meh

[autumn pivot]

Those are my mountain homes

[real vessel]

except for these dang weeds.

[wild cave]

@frozen finch honestly? Don’t bother with one. I started with a plan and it just made me upset so I just do small pieces and try to fit all my little ideas in
@primal ginkgo !! this is tge best way. start with one general idea and go with the flow

[zenith cave]

which incline looks best going up to the musuem?

[stiff gale]

This is my house's yard, I am making imperial garden to relax

[autumn pivot]

Theres a loose flower wtf

[fierce ginkgo]

@primal ginkgo same I just started tearing down cliffs and making paths etc and it’s coming along

[distant mango]

I should have done more mountain stuff like you guys

They're pretty sweet

[woven drift]

Me trying terraforming for the first time: haha this isn't so hard
A few hours later:

[primal ginkgo]

@distant mango I didn’t have any mountain stuff planned at first but it’s so worth getting into

[frozen finch]

thanks @kay & dee - i'm just worried i'll mess up something irreparably! but it is all fixable in the end, so i really should just start

[autumn pivot]

Central park

[left wigeon]

i’m on my 5th day of playing but i’m struggling to work around these RIVERS

[distant mango]

Get a vaulting pole

[turbid sparrow]

Could always remove one of them

later

[primal ginkgo]

How close can a bridge be to an incline? Like one or two tiles?

[versed wadi]

Mountain is now my favourite’biome’ not sure what do do around it when I get back down to the beach

[real vessel]

like 2 tiles ish

[tropic coral]

@finite cargo do you happen to have a source for those photos you shared? Or the map layout? I love it and want to do something like that!

[jovial nexus]

I am stump and idk where to put my house :c

[primal ginkgo]

Aight then my design will prob just need to move back one

[autumn pivot]

Peggys farm house

[real vessel]

like i've had stairs nearly next to each other so i'm going off assumption it works the same way.

[primal ginkgo]

Cutteee!

[distant mango]

Yo I just got thunder. I didn't even know thunder was in this game

[woven drift]

Oof I think I put a bridge too close to where I want an incline

[autumn pivot]

I see alot of people do neighborhoods and they are super cute

[jovial nexus]

anyone got any museum ideas

[distant mango]

Mine is all right. It

it's a 2 tier museum

[primal ginkgo]

I’m going to try to do a tiered more natural neighborhood

[autumn pivot]

But i have city neighborhood and then 4 mountain homes and a farm

[distant mango]

Kay's is pretty cool though

[primal ginkgo]

Right now I’m moving everyone’s to the beach tho

[autumn pivot]

And then i have a mountain home

[woven drift]

I'll need to do that too lol pls donate bells

[tropic coral]

Lol I’m scared to move everyone and then move them again. Do the villagers get upset? Does everyone do this?

[autumn pivot]

Its next ti my wifes house and we have a big deck in the middle and mana bottle lake

[primal ginkgo]

@autumn pivot Also! An idea for your farm home! If you use the dark dirt path and do stripes it makes a really cute little farmland area

[livid smelt]

I'm redoing my island

[turbid sparrow]

@tropic coral The villagers don't care, all that hurts is your wallet lol

[primal ginkgo]

They won’t get upset!

[worthy tendon]

soo pretty awunha

[distant mango]

Originally when I started terraforming I tried to make everything as compact possible since things take a lot more space than they appear. I now believe it was a mistake.

[livid smelt]

Thank you

[autumn pivot]

See i thought about that @primal ginkgo but i really want wheat

[tropic coral]

Ok because if flo wanted to leave I’d be so devastated lol

[primal ginkgo]

Haha I heard we’re getting farming in an update so maybe you will get wheat

[distant mango]

That's pretty cool

[autumn pivot]

Or like a vegetable or somethinf

gasp farm stuff

[primal ginkgo]

You could do turnips! Just have to replace them each time...

[turbid sparrow]

@tropic coral Villagers will ask before leaving and you can tell them not to

[primal ginkgo]

I know a couple of farm qrs too

[livid smelt]

Terraforming is going to kill me >_< I already had to do my river twice.

[autumn pivot]

@primal ginkgo yea if you know some i would be interested

[tropic coral]

Looks like everyone’s living on the beach til further notice then!

[autumn pivot]

I like the hycth though

[compact wolf]

Can 2 inclines be next to each other?
Is there a gap between them?

[distant mango]

You can have 2 next together from my experience

[south roost]

I hate how qr paths don't show up on maps

[distant mango]

there is no gap between them

[primal ginkgo]

@autumn pivot

[turbid sparrow]

@south roost Place a regular path then put the QR path on top of it, then it'll show on the map

[compact wolf]

@distant mango
Awesome! Thanks!

[empty moon]

I adore having an orchard but it sucks up so much space

[autumn pivot]

@primal ginkgo are those on pillows?

[empty moon]

I do so love how it looks though

[primal ginkgo]

Nope just directly on the ground!

The little harvest bag is tho

[versed wadi]

@kay your farm! 👏

[primal ginkgo]

It’s not mine haha

[autumn pivot]

@primal ginkgo yea thats what i meant

[primal ginkgo]

Yeah that’s on a cushion

[autumn pivot]

Okay cool

I really like that its super cute

[distant mango]

Making giant mountains consume so much time. I've been working on one for an hour and it's not even half complete

[autumn pivot]

Im afraid i wont have the room to make that work though

[primal ginkgo]

@distant mango I FEEL that most of my island seems like it’s going to be tier 2 and it sucks to put down each tile

[autumn pivot]

Im worried that would look crammes

[turbid sparrow]

I'd totally be down if they added a new thing after paying off your house where you could pay a large sum of bells to buy a 2nd island lol

[primal ginkgo]

Yeah you might not

[versed wadi]

Wooohooo!

[autumn pivot]

I could dump the weird 2x2 little lake thing i have

[turbid sparrow]

Grats!

[woven drift]

congrats !

[south roost]

Nice

I try so hard to get 5 stars

[distant mango]

I still have a ton of work before I can reach 5 stars. I'm currently on 4

[autumn pivot]

And the farm is literally packed into the only space it could go

[south roost]

I'm still at 4

[autumn pivot]

Its right above my city houses and a river runs directly to its left

[primal ginkgo]

I’m still at 3 lol only like 25% of my map is being worked on right now

[versed wadi]

I was worried it wasn't going to happen as I've been planting a lot of weeds, and dropping rocks and stuff in the woods

[woven drift]

are bushes going to count on the 5 stars ?

[primal ginkgo]

The rest is bare

[distant mango]

They are plants like flowers

so they should

[south roost]

I planted 92 bushes and I'm still at 4 stars

[distant mango]

Well you need 250 somewhat flowers I believe

Keep planting I guess?

[autumn pivot]

I need to buy bushes

But i need to get thi bridge built

Struggle...

[turbid sparrow]

I'd say bushes first since you don't know how long till he shows up again

[fading anvil]

Almost finished wit my shopping district 💫 https://twitter.com/HermitInput/status/1253217959503265793?s=19

Rena (@HermitInput)

(WIP) My shopping district stores clothes in the freezer (an actual game mechanic) bc our fits are cool n fresh. I took a pottery class in kindergarten and learned how to make a rose with clay so u know I'm the real deal. #acnh #ACNHDesigns #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons #acnhpat...

Twitter

[woven drift]

I make hedge mazeee

[primal ginkgo]

Cuteeee!!! @fading anvil

[fading anvil]

@primal ginkgo thank uuu

[left wigeon]

i just put down like 40 flowers and finally got news that KK is coming soon :)))

[primal ginkgo]

Yayyy! You’ll be able to terraform soon then :))

[versed wadi]

Rena! as always! Sooo pretty!

[livid smelt]

I don't know what else I should add to my island designer :/

[primal ginkgo]

@livid smelt just add as you go!

[livid smelt]

I'm stuck on where to go lol

[woven drift]

Make hedge maze

[left wigeon]

does anyone have a little outdoor cafe/coffe shop on their island?

[turbid sparrow]

I do

[primal ginkgo]

I’m planning for one

[turbid sparrow]

But I don't have a stove yet so the kitchen looks a little strange lol

[versed wadi]

@left wigeon yeah it's run by Apple 😄

[turbid sparrow]

mine's run by chadder! We thought alike haha

[left wigeon]

aww can i see!!

[woven drift]

I have a mushroom themed one but its a little empty for now

[distant mango]

All of yours is better than mine. I have very limited space and I'm still working on it

[polar salmon]

How do you guys make the hedges connect to each other 😦

[versed wadi]

It's getting a refurb this week. Making that cafe was the turning point that got me hooked on this game.

[woven drift]

Time to redesign my entire island to fit in shrubs time

@woven drift which ones did you get?

[distant mango]

My island already has some space to fit in some shrubs, especially since it's not even complete

[mossy steppe]

Which formation is the cutest?

[woven drift]

@mossy steppe I like the first one

[echo sparrow]

1

[woven drift]

I was just saying it as a little joke, but I got some azelas and gonna use them as like fence endings and also just randomly in nature areas. I finally got roses to, so I'm excited to get golden ones. @woven drift

@woven drift very nice! Good luck on your gold rose quest

Thanks!

[versed wadi]

3

[distant mango]

I'm working on gold roses right now too

[versed wadi]

actually 1

[turbid sparrow]

Considering removing the tree

[distant mango]

One is nice but the space seems too tight

[woven drift]

Yeah I'd put it outside the wall @turbid sparrow

[pearl topaz]

Posted earlier, but anyone else have suggestions on how to spruce up my museum? The entrance is to the right, not down the center because the incline is off centered

[mossy steppe]

I’m really conflicted between 1 and three lol

[distant mango]

I like three, but it seems I'm the only person that likes it

[woven drift]

They're all good

[primal ginkgo]

@polar salmon they might be using the hedge fence

[turbid sparrow]

I also like three

[mossy steppe]

@distant mango I really like three aswell, I feel it has better spacing but I just wanted others opinions

[echo sparrow]

where does the sign look best? :p
(i’ll eventually get a white simple panel so it matches the signpost but i don’t have one rn haha)

[mossy steppe]

:D!

[woven drift]

Is that the same place @echo sparrow

I feel like I'm playing spot the difference lol

[echo sparrow]

yeah haha only the sign moved

[woven drift]

Oh the big one

[mossy steppe]

They mean the panel I believe

[distant mango]

I like 1 since it makes it look fuller

[echo sparrow]

yeah

[mossy steppe]

True

[primal ginkgo]

I think you could do two on either side for 1 and that would look nice unless you have other plans

[echo sparrow]

sounds like a good idea :D thanks

just really want the white variation of the simple panel so it matches D:

[deft spruce]

are there any 5 star islands i can visit?

[mossy steppe]

If it helps, I kinda want to keep that vibe throughout the pathways but off the pathways I want a more crammed/overgrown nature aesthetic

[turbid sparrow]

@echo sparrow I have a white simple panel!

[echo sparrow]

AHHHHH

pls dm me 🥺

[woven drift]

@mossy steppe then definitely 1 😁

[stiff gale]

I am trying to create sea-side restaurant with live music, but the kitchen hasn't done yet.

[mossy steppe]

@woven drift okie dokie :D!

[distant mango]

It still looks pretty darn good

[mossy steppe]

It’s so cute @stiff gale !!

[stiff gale]

thank you xD

[woven drift]

@stiff gale can you put things in the middle of those tables? Some flowers would look good!

Or candles

[limber ginkgo]

Has anyone made a nice looking flower breeding area? I have a rather large space and I'm looking for inspiration

[versed wadi]

@turbid sparrow would you let me catalogue the white panel?

[frosty urchin]

Can anyone reccomend me how many squares I should put in between villagers front and back?

[versed wadi]

I can tip

[stiff gale]

@stiff gale can you put things in the middle of those tables? Some flowers would look good!
@woven drift Can't put things in the middle of the table I guess 😦

or I just dont know how

[woven drift]

Awh, it's still cute

Nicely themed

[primal ginkgo]

@frosty urchin probably at least 5-6? That’ll give you a good amount of room for some decorating.

You could also do less and decorate the sides instead

[mossy steppe]

When do the in game paths get unlocked btw?

[primal ginkgo]

@mossy steppe after Kk

[woven drift]

After Kk

[urban sphinx]

God my town is hideous because my resident services is in a HORRIBLE spot

[mossy steppe]

Oh darn

[woven drift]

Yeah it's a pain lol

[distant mango]

After KK, you have to buy them with nookmiles

[urban sphinx]

I want to just reset my entire game at rhis point its so ugly

[distant mango]

they cost 2k miles each

[primal ginkgo]

My residence services is pretty close to my airport but I’m lucky I managed to think something up

[mossy steppe]

How do I get K.K. faster? In resident services it’s says I’m in “the last phase of the plan”

[unborn sparrow]

I want to just reset my entire game at rhis point its so ugly
@urban sphinx OMG ME TOO I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS TO RESET

[distant mango]

You need to get a 3 star rating. Take to Isabelle

[primal ginkgo]

@mossy steppe #game-help-questions❓

[woven drift]

Just do whatever they tell you to

[mossy steppe]

Sorry

[distant mango]

talk*

[urban sphinx]

Ive terraformed my island so many times rhis week ane honestly i liked it best when I just let it alone.

[woven drift]

I think you'd be sad if you reset, especially if you've been playing from launch

[primal ginkgo]

@urban sphinx any pics? We might be able to help with some ideas!

I’d hate for you to reset Dx

[urban sphinx]

Ill take some in a moment but god. Such a mess. Everything feels so cluttered and gross

[unborn sparrow]

yeah i don't want to lose my villagers and stuff ughh

[primal ginkgo]

My resident services and airport are 8 tiles apart so I know it can be hard to design something especially when you see all these extravagant entrances and stuff and realize you physically can’t do those

[woven drift]

You can completely change up the terraformin etc until it feels like a whole new island @unborn sparrow share some pics!

[broken flame]

How much space do you guys leave between villager's houses? I'm trying to figure out while I'm moving them up to the cliffs how to space them out

[unborn sparrow]

will do! i'll take some next time i'm on 😄

[woven drift]

Yeah my airport and hall are close, I don't mind, you gotta work with what you have 😁

[primal ginkgo]

@broken flame I gave all my villagers at least five blocks in front

[distant mango]

My RS is also super close to my airport. I just made an entrance that connects to the RS so it looks like it was sort of planned

[urban sphinx]

Im in hell.

[broken flame]

@primal ginkgo What about the sides?

[primal ginkgo]

Two on each

[woven drift]

@urban sphinx do you have any in-game screenshots? I find it hard to visualise from the minimap

[primal ginkgo]

@urban sphinx it’s not that bad! You have a lot of space to work with. I know those river entrances at the bottom can be hard

@broken flame

[broken flame]

@primal ginkgo Cheers, thanks

[woven drift]

I would look at the houses first - do you like the city type neighborhood look, or do you want it to be more natural/free flowing @urban sphinx

[distant mango]

I hate my river entrances. I don't know what to form them into, and where to form them to

[echo sparrow]

so this is the final outcome :p will be getting the white panel soon. thoughts? :p is there anything i can add?

[primal ginkgo]

@urban sphinx I think if you took down the mountains and rivers and started with a clean slate it might help out especially if there’s a lot you want to change! Otherwise, just start one piece at a time like entrance first and then plaza and marketplace

[woven drift]

@echo sparrow maybe some lighting? The floor lights at the front of the stage could be cool, or studio lights or w/e

[urban sphinx]

I heavily plan on moving the houses but god is it so much work

[primal ginkgo]

Haha it is I’m just starting to move all mine to the beach to terraform their areas

[urban sphinx]

I feel like removing the river for this house so its not so ugly

[woven drift]

@urban sphinx maybe think of how you can achieve your desired aesthetic without moving too many

[distant mango]

It really is a pain in the neck. I believe it's better to plan everything out beforehand. My island looks like garbage, but I'm just digging a bigger grave by continuing

[urban sphinx]

It links to my house in the back so the space is p big

[primal ginkgo]

If you’re against tting just keep moving them slowly and work on other areas in the meantime

[woven drift]

I like the water fall..

[stiff gale]

@urban sphinx I think you can start by deciding what theme style of your island, and list what place do you want to include (cafe, gym, forest, neighborhood, etc), then start to plan where to put them

[woven drift]

@distant mango I didn't and I really like my island!

[mystic gazelle]

does anyone have library/cafe inspo?:)

[rare barn]

Does anyone have a little coconut drink stand I could see for inspiration?☺️

[distant mango]

I improvised, but I did so in a way that would take very little space so my island looks trash

[mystic gazelle]

@distant mango it can grow over time though:) im sure itll turn out great

[plain fox]

What do you guys place on top of your manmade waterfalls? ;_;

I have two waterfalls in my entrance and the top seems so empty

[turbid sparrow]

maybe some flowers?

[distant mango]

I need to redo my island and improvise with my limits in mind so it looks good

[mystic gazelle]

@plain fox my green mums hehe

@distant mango good luck!

[stiff gale]

start building 1 area at a time, and the rest will get easier

[plain fox]

oh thanks! so i just fill it in with flowers then?

[primal ginkgo]

@plain fox I’m putting those star lamp pieces on top of mine!

[versed wadi]

another cliff and some trees

[primal ginkgo]

Also with Redd coming out I’m excited to put some statues up

[plain fox]

@plain fox I’m putting those star lamp pieces on top of mine!
@primal ginkgo oh that's smart! thanks

[distant mango]

I'm going to buy all those paintings and chuck them right into the museum

[primal ginkgo]

Sadly museum does come first v.v

[mystic gazelle]

i want paintings all over my house!!

[primal ginkgo]

But I’ll wait for you Aphrodite statue

[halcyon vessel]

Just had to get rid of all my flowers so I can start terraforming my island how I want

[mystic gazelle]

omg

[plain fox]

i removed all my rivers now idk where to place them😿

[woven drift]

Does this look good? I want to see if the hedge maze would be better than this diner i made

[distant mango]

@woven drift That looks amazing

[stiff gale]

@pole

i want paintings all over my house!!
@mystic gazelle I imagined it would turn out like hogwarts stairs which full of painting 😄

[plain fox]

also last question what do you guys do to fill awkward empty spaces? 😄

[woven drift]

Which one lol the diner or the maze? @distant mango

@plain fox i just fill em with flowers in neat patterns

[mystic gazelle]

@plain fox i ignore them until i get an idea

[distant mango]

Both

[versed wadi]

@woven drift does your maze have a centre point?

[plain fox]

thanks again! ^^

I'd love to visit one of your islands soon for inspo </3

[distant mango]

Did you replace the diner with the maze? I prefer the diner a bit more.

[woven drift]

@versed wadi not really its more of a linear puzzle

[mystic gazelle]

@plain fox id be happy to invite u over:)

[woven drift]

@distant mango yeh i replaced the diner with the maze to see what it would look like

[distant mango]

The diner feels more homely

I like that

[mystic gazelle]

how do u report lmao

[distant mango]

FFS

do .modmail

[woven drift]

@distant mango I like both but i dont have enough room😅 im definetly gonna keep the diner then, maybe i can morph the campsite into a hedge maze then

[distant mango]

Sounds like a plan

[primal ginkgo]

I do love how the hedge maze looks on the map though haha

[plain fox]

@plain fox id be happy to invite u over:)
@mystic gazelle

that'd be great!!!! ;_;

[primal ginkgo]

Give me a Royal palace gardens vibe

[distant mango]

BTW I wasn't saying "FFS" to you, Pale. I was annoyed by that scum

[mystic gazelle]

@distant mango dw i got that:)

[distant mango]

It's become quiet all the sudden

[open berry]

that hedge maze is soooo cute! reminds me of princess peach's castle

[umbral hearth]

Is there a channel where I can ask for furniture tips for my island?

[swift pier]

can bushes be planted right beside the river or do you need one space between?

[turbid sparrow]

From what I've seen in videos they seem to place the same as flowers

[versed wadi]

Today’s AC goals is to figure out what to do with custom paths and work on a graveyard

[limber vector]

They're really making us buy 5 bush starts at a time huh

[wild cave]

are those bushes a new fencing? @woven drift

[stiff gale]

can bushes be planted right beside the river or do you need one space between?
@swift pier I think it can

[turbid sparrow]

the bushes are a new plant, the hedges are a new fencing

[echo sparrow]

final product! might add one more simple panel on the other side.

any opinions on what i could maybe add?

[wild cave]

if anyone has the DIY in their ABD can i pls come over to buy one bc i had no idea, i time traveled 😭

[stiff gale]

@echo sparrow maybe add a few small plants furniture in front of the stage

[open berry]

the diy for the hedge fencing is given to u after completing an earth day nook mile+ achievement

[wild cave]

i feel like the sign should be towards the outside rather than the inside, it looks a lil awkward there to me @echo sparrow

[timber dome]

What do you all think looks like the best incline to pair with terra-cotta pathway?

[open berry]

u talk to tom nook and he gives it to you via phone

[wild cave]

OH okay ty!

[turbid sparrow]

the hedges were just added in the patch today

[primal ginkgo]

@timber dome I imagine the brick would complement it nicely

[terse thicket]

my ac is updating rn im so excited for the update !!!

[timber dome]

I was considering brick. I'll try it out. Thanks for your input :)

[turbid sparrow]

You can cancel putting in an incline after previewing it by talking to nook again as long as you don't actually put it down

so you can preview a few diff ones that way

[sonic kernel]

Made nooks cranny into a little gas station :’)

[woven drift]

Cute

[primal ginkgo]

That’s such a cute idea

[timber relic]

Remembering The good old days

[woven drift]

You should add the rover from Celeste and make it look like it’s filling up gas

[primal ginkgo]

You can use the car beds or tricycles to make it look like they’re being used

[sonic kernel]

Yess I planned on it!

[distant mango]

so both Leif and Redd will appear a day after the update?

[woven drift]

Not together I think idk

[terse thicket]

wait leif wont appear today?

[woven drift]

Redd didn’t appear with Leif for me

[distant mango]

I see

[primal ginkgo]

I have two tricycles in front of my nooks so Tommy and Timmy have a way to get home lmao

[turbid sparrow]

Talk to blathers after getting the patch, he talks about adding an art section and I think that is what makes it possible for redd to appear

[woven drift]

Oh makes sense

[umbral hearth]

https://streamable.com/nggvkn

Can anyone give me tips on what furniture (s) I can put along the river and would suit the whole aesthetic? Thanks!

[distant mango]

I already talked to him and he gave me the prompt. I am just wandering if they both appear

[turbid sparrow]

not sure

I don't TT so I'm just going off stuff I've seen in vids

[distant mango]

I haven't TT'd either

I'm waiting. It's approximately 4 hours until my day resets

[turbid sparrow]

@umbral hearth Maybe some benches?

[primal ginkgo]

You talk to him and then the next day a boat should appear on ur secret island Redd won’t be on the boat but rather walking around

You’ll see an icon in the map if he’s here

[distant mango]

Good to know

[umbral hearth]

@turbid sparrow yea was thinking of benches too but I just wanted to ask for tips in case someone else had a better idea lol

[turbid sparrow]

Benches seems like a good idea to me haha

[primal ginkgo]

Videos not loading for me but I second benches also lampposts

[echo sparrow]

@stiff gale thanks for the idea! will use it

[umbral hearth]

Might have to settle with benches then haha

[echo sparrow]

also dee i can’t @ you, but it was on the outside and it looked awkward there too

[open berry]

@umbral hearth some paper lanterns and some natural garden chairs with natural square table, also a phone box could look cute next to a lamppost!

[remote wave]

after long hours of terraforming and moving buildings around, I finally got the layout I wanted!!

[turbid sparrow]

Listen to La my ideas are basic haha

[distant mango]

That looks pretty darn good

[turbid sparrow]

I wish there was another way to show you whole island other than just the map

[open berry]

good job! wow

[distant mango]

You have a really nice RS placement too

[turbid sparrow]

I see all these fancy maps and get curious what they look like in game haha

[stiff gale]

looks dope!

[umbral hearth]

@open berry thanks!

[gusty shard]

[remote wave]

thank you! I tried to make it more symmetrical for the most part

[distant mango]

I don't think I will be able to get a 5 star rating with my current layout

[open berry]

utilise the beach for furniture

[distant mango]

I see. I keep that in mind

[turbid sparrow]

Isabelle loooves fences in my experience

[stiff gale]

just put bunch of furnitures and fences, and diffrent kinds of flowers.

[turbid sparrow]

Apparently isabelle likes my style cuz I hit 5 stars a decent ways before I felt like I deserved it

[distant mango]

That's good

[stiff gale]

yeah me too, my island is still half way done, and Isabelle gave me 5 stars

[turbid sparrow]

Probably just cuz my decoration was very fence and furniture heavy

[chrome prairie]

Hi guys! good day to yall! so I've been crushed by the pressure of the city I've been doing and made decisions and ending up regretting them and restarting the layouts! but I'm glad to say I'm finally happy with the results after trial and error! but now i have the problem of the river.... I want to make it look natural so if you please can help me i will be glad!

[turbid sparrow]

I didn't do much terraforming based decoration, and she doesn't give points for that I don't think

For a natural looking river, have it curve a decent amount, and avoid hard corners

[stiff gale]

@chrome prairie maybe instead making it straight river, you could starts the river from the mountain waterfall, down to the sea

[chrome prairie]

ya i had that idea

[primal ginkgo]

@chrome prairie curve it a bunch! ~~~ like this! I recommend doing one section and then looking at your map and editing it to see if it looks good or whether it needs to be wider or thinner

[turbid sparrow]

If it starts taking up too much space you could make it two separate rivers

[chrome prairie]

and i also want to landscape the empty area of the west a bit so that the mountain area can be slighty larger

[primal ginkgo]

Also a fun idea if youre doing a city, have the upper portion of the river be a canal and then the rest natural

[turbid sparrow]

Yeah could have city style straight near the town then natural near the mountains

[stiff gale]

and maybe the river could curves into your city to make a bridge in your city

[chrome prairie]

i don't really want to have a city that looks very modern

just like a little town

[primal ginkgo]

That’s fine! Just an idea

[turbid sparrow]

in that case make it all curvy haha

[chrome prairie]

im not that creative and have big limits on my creativity

[primal ginkgo]

To make my rivers I always do one tile that follows how I want it curved then I do the other side and fill it in

[turbid sparrow]

yeah same

I do one side in the shape I want then fix the other side to match it after

[distant mango]

Honestly I should have done my river first before everything else

[turbid sparrow]

about 75% of my river is the same as it started

[primal ginkgo]

My river is a mess currently since I’m doing it as I go lol

[turbid sparrow]

I've changed the whole left side but the right side is untouched

[stiff gale]

yes, you should fix terraforming your island before building something

[chrome prairie]

can you guy show me your rivers?

might get inspired by looking

[tawny sleet]

What do you guys think of this layout ? The top area is housing I wanted them to have their own yards and stuff

[primal ginkgo]

They use to all be connected Dx

[supple plaza]

i have a brown fancy violin at my nookshop if anyone wants it!

[turbid sparrow]

There's my river, just finished redoing the left side today, hence the in construction bridge

[chrome prairie]

shit, savannah wanted to talk to me but i entered the center

[turbid sparrow]

Aah I hate that

when you start going through a door THEN a villager runs up

[chrome prairie]

i kicked out sterling yesterday oof, i had to since i was trying to sell Judy and heard that the most recent villager is harder to kick out next so Sterling had to go, he had to anyways and ended up getting Marshal after 4 islands

[stiff gale]

my river on the right side is quite a mess, it hits my orchards area, so it become squared

[lilac schooner]

quick question, can you terraform the cliffs in the north of your island?

[turbid sparrow]

Yeah

[distant mango]

Marshal brings back memories. I had him since the beginning back in New Leaf. Same with Drake.

[turbid sparrow]

Only place you can't terraform is the beach/river mouths

(and the plaza of course)

[distant mango]

I find it very annoying that it isn't possible to move the RS

[lilac schooner]

ah tyvm

[frail scroll]

if anyone needs concert area inspo! (:

[distant mango]

New New Horizon DLC. $5 to be able to move your RS

I would buy it

[turbid sparrow]

I just wanna be able to have a 2nd save

I can't even just buy the game twice like in new leaf

cuz it's locked to your switch

[distant mango]

Yeah

Can't buy the game twice. Just buy a new Switch

very simple fix, really

[lilac schooner]

sry @turbid sparrow by river mouths you mean where the rivers on my island connect to the ocean? i cant change where they do that on my island?

[stiff gale]

just.buy.a.new.switch

[distant mango]

Yes

[turbid sparrow]

@lilac schooner Yeah,

[lilac schooner]

gotcha, thanks

[turbid sparrow]

you can change the rivers freely within the island but can't change where they drain out

[lilac schooner]

damn thats weird

[turbid sparrow]

You can always make self contained rivers

[distant mango]

Yeah.

[turbid sparrow]

They don't HAVE to drain out to the ocean

[distant mango]

Can't wait to load up my museum with all the wonderful art pieces

[stiff gale]

Yeah, I wish we know it on the first time we choosed the island

[terse thicket]

hey quick question, after the nature day event will be over, will there be any way to obtain shrubs without leif?

[distant mango]

Yeah, they don't tell you which is pretty dumb

[turbid sparrow]

the nature day event is just nook tickets for planting shrubs

[stiff gale]

leif will always come to your place as a spesial villager I think

[turbid sparrow]

leif should stick around as a random visitor

[distant mango]

^

[terse thicket]

oh okay thanks :)

[turbid sparrow]

err not tickets miles

Just make sure you get the hedge recipe from nook before it ends

[distant mango]

Holy, it's 4 in the morning for me and I've been working on this mountain since 12, I think

[terse thicket]

how do you get that?

[distant mango]

It's almost 5

[turbid sparrow]

do the nook mile + objective then talk to him I believe

[terse thicket]

oh okay im talking to him rn and i think he's giving it to me

thank you guys for ur help :)

[stiff gale]

Nintendo said giving this updates for free to us. What if, in the future they make a paid dlc version

[turbid sparrow]

The event updates should all be free

[terse thicket]

will there be ac dlc in the future?

[turbid sparrow]

No idea

[stiff gale]

yeah, I hope it is gonna be free forever for updates

[distant mango]

Maybe. It's not impossible

[turbid sparrow]

They might do something paid later but I think they're doing the year of event updates first is my guess

[stiff gale]

Someone datamined it on youtube

[open berry]

will there be ac dlc in the future?
@terse thicket yes

[stiff gale]

there will be "Diving" feature

[turbid sparrow]

you know what DLC I want, I want a make my island bigger DLC lol

Starting to feel cramped

[terse thicket]

that's very interesting actually but i think they wouldnt release till like next year wouldnt theyM

[distant mango]

All the seasonal event ones should always be free, but other stuff may be paid

[woven drift]

This new fence and bushes are so nice 🥴

[distant mango]

Also it will be pretty cool to bring back diving. I need my diving suit again

[open berry]

theres at least going to be major events like halloween, christmas etc. brewster was datamined and alongside the coffee shop is apparently a gyroid exhibition. not sure how theyre gonna execute that idea but i look forward to it!

[distant mango]

RIP Tortimer btw

[warm delta]

they really need to expand the island tbh lmao. It's getting a little cramp.

[distant mango]

I don't even know if he's dead

[exotic sparrow]

Any tips on making an island with the upside down Y shaped river feel more spacious. I feel like my only source of space is the main center part and the other side areas are super thin ._.

[woven drift]

Ikr they should give us the option to expand land wherever we want

[open berry]

@exotic sparrow u could try leading one of the river mouths towards a small little waterfall on a 2nd level?

[terse thicket]

when does redd come to ur island btw

[exotic sparrow]

So basically split the one river into two smaller rivers?

[distant mango]

@terse thicket You need to talk to Blathers first

[open berry]

you need to talk to blathers and then redd will appear on ur island the next day

[terse thicket]

oh okay thanks :)

[open berry]

@exotic sparrow if it works and looks good to u then sure! ^.^

[exotic sparrow]

I'll give it a try, for record both of my river mouths are on the south part of my island

[distant mango]

They need to make a Island Designer Plus DLC, so I can end my suffering

[exotic sparrow]

Originally my island had a pond at the very top cliff that went down, split to the left and right then circle around a small island of land before going down south again

[distant mango]

Terraforming is a extremely time-consuming nightmare

[exotic sparrow]

Yeah x_x

Besides the decorations directly on the corners of my town hall everything feels so ugly 😦

[tawdry topaz]

anyone know whos island is that?

[distant mango]

No idea. Looks nice though

[tawdry topaz]

yea

im so out of ideas my plaza and airport is so close idk what to do tbh

I wish I could move it

[distant mango]

Doesn't everyone?

[exotic sparrow]

I wish we could change the river mouths too >.>

[distant mango]

Yeah

It would allow me to not have to completely redo my town

[tawdry topaz]

mine is like really close xd

[distant mango]

My RS is 9 blocks away from the airport

[plain fox]

mine is like really close xd
@tawdry topaz

same ;_; it's tough

[distant mango]

Not ideal whatsoever

[lavish dock]

I think I’m going to make my island all a flat surface and start from there , which would take a while aa

[distant mango]

That's what I did

[tawdry topaz]

I did that too eye made my whole island flat

and now im working on it

[lavish dock]

I think you can move the town hall but not 100% sure

[tawdry topaz]

u can't

[distant mango]

You can't

[plain fox]

did you guys remove your rivers?

[tawdry topaz]

I did and made my own

[lavish dock]

Oh that’s annoying

[plain fox]

my river mouths are both at the bottom and it sucks

[distant mango]

Oof

[wind minnow]

did you guys make everything straight? I'm very conflicted on whether I want curves in my rivers

[distant mango]

I want curves in my river as it makes it look more natural

[wind minnow]

i agree, but then my brain is also like... perfect symmetry

[distant mango]

Just test it out and see what you like best

[stiff gale]

curves = more natural, straight = more space

[distant mango]

Rivers are far less time consuming than hills so redoing it won't take long at all

[wind minnow]

this is very true!

i so regret putting my villagers on the inclines because now i want to redo everything, ahaha

[stiff gale]

yeah, I hate they only allow us to create 8 inclines and 8 bridges

[distant mango]

Yeah

[wind minnow]

i really wish we could place bridges between inclines!

[tawdry topaz]

wait I thought u can make unlimited

u can't?

[kind escarp]

Another victim

[distant mango]

Nope

[stiff gale]

no you cant

[distant mango]

Only 8 of each

[tawdry topaz]

that sucks

[unique pond]

chilling in my newly made chill spot with dotty!!

[tawdry topaz]

im at 5 stairs and I only did like 10% of my island lmao

[woven drift]

Thoughts ?

[wind minnow]

looks amazing! omg

[queen meadow]

I love it!!

[woven drift]

Thank you 🙂 I almost gave up a bunch of times lol

Now it time to decorate

[tawdry topaz]

how can u judge island from map

[woven drift]

I was talking about just the layout , plus I just said time to decorate......

[distant mango]

It provides a basic idea of what it may look like

[woven drift]

it’s a layout

[unique pond]

well this channel is island-layouts after all 🙂

[woven drift]

this chat is called island layouts

And if u not looking for layouts wrong channel

[tawdry topaz]

its not just layouts xd

[warm delta]

Thoughts ?
@woven drift are you gonna make a ramp or something to go to the secret beach for Redd?

[woven drift]

Yes I was gonna do that just thinking of the style of bridges and ramps

[unique pond]

Thoughts ?
@woven drift why did yuo make everything symmetrical but your house isn't!!! ahhhh it's. it's. making me nervous

[hearty remnant]

Any recommendation to use space better? I just finished main terraforming but I feel my island is smaller than other peoples

[distant mango]

Wow, Redd didn't sell me a fake painting

[gentle peak]

how do yall have redd already omg

[distant mango]

Talk to Blathers

He will appear the day after

[woven drift]

@unique pond I did it on purpose because if you look next to it you see the patterns that’s my yard

[gentle peak]

oh damn ty shiny

[distant mango]

How do you get permission to enter his boat?

[unique pond]

Any recommendation to use space better? I just finished main terraforming but I feel my island is smaller than other peoples
@hearty remnant well there's a huuuuge space next to your house, and also next to the museum, that looks empty? unless there's smth there that we can't see

[open berry]

u find him randomly walking around on ur island

[unique pond]

@unique pond I did it on purpose because if you look next to it you see the patterns that’s my yard
@woven drift ah i see! got it!

[distant mango]

I found him and talked to him, but it's still not letting me enter

[tawdry topaz]

how do u get npc that sell new flowers?

[hearty remnant]

@unique pond everything is mostly empty because I just finished terraforming . I still have to decorate and build areas like orchard. It’s just I feel the layout has some bad use space idk 😦 overall I feel my island smaller than others and idk if that’s common feeling

[open berry]

this is a day after u bought the painting from him in the town centre?

[distant mango]

No. I don't TT. I just bought the painting from him

[zenith cave]

Hedges are amazing

[hearty remnant]

And I still have to move 5 houses mine included haha @unique pond

[stiff gale]

if you build everything large and wide, your island will be felt small

[open berry]

yeh u talk to him the next day

[distant mango]

Ooof

[open berry]

when hes randomly walking around on ur island

in fact it might not even be the next day it might be like a few days after

[exotic wigeon]

Can we just appreciate the logic that u can move houses

[distant mango]

I am slightly disappointed

[open berry]

i cant remember

[wind minnow]

I loooove the hedges

do they change according to season?

[woven drift]

oh that would be amazing !

[unique pond]

@hearty remnant hehe i dm'ed you!

[hearty remnant]

@stiff gale which areas are large and wide? (I’m not English I can’t really grasp the meaning) and what is a good way ? Wider?

[unique pond]

only 3 houses for the moment but it’s coming well !! also these weed fences are so cool
@woven drift that white house is lovely, which villager is that may i ask?

awwww cute!! i think it's rosie?

[primal ginkgo]

Rosie!

[woven drift]

it’s rosie in french too haha !

[stiff gale]

@stiff gale which areas are large and wide? (I’m not English I can’t really grasp the meaning) and what is a good way ? Wider?
@hearty remnant umm, I didn't talk specific about your island. I talk generally lol

what I said, If you make an area wide (ex. villagers houses with large yard) it will takes a lot of your island spaces, and your island will felt a little smaller

it is not a bad things though, you just need to decide if it is worthed or save some spaces for other area

[woven drift]

also patterns are where villagers houses are going to be

[distant mango]

Looks like it would make a nice river

[fierce mesa]

u could make a super cool cafe or farmers market

[unique pond]

music stage! with all the instruments

[stiff gale]

maybe football area, or children's playground

[fierce mesa]

i always see people making their house just super grand and special but i honestly just want to live in a a neighborhood with my villagers

[woven drift]

I need some island entrance ideas please 😭 I’m going for an organised but pretty rural island

[fierce mesa]

is it just me lol

[rare atlas]

Can anyone tell me where to put my houses, I'm kinda thinking about the left area pass the river

Would really appreciate if anyone would help me

[distant mango]

I think that big empty place next to where you're standing would be nice

[rare atlas]

I made this area as sort of an entrance

@distant mango ^^^

[distant mango]

I see

Yeah, you can put your house between c 2 and 3
