[primal ginkgo]

I WISH I had white lamps

It’s so annoying I’m gonna have to use my miles to buy them c

[barren swift]

green doesn’t look too bad...

[primal ginkgo]

And pay way more lmao

[barren swift]

kay which color do you have

[dapper ginkgo]

I like my green ones but white ones would look good on an area I’m working on

@barren swift that looks better😎✨

[primal ginkgo]

Green too. I think brown would look best for you it would tie in the country fences

[barren swift]

both would look nice tbh. i’ll trade my whites for greens if you want

[finite cargo]

Just sold 13 nmt for 2.6 mil. Time to move all of my houses and build all these bridges!

[barren swift]

brown might be too much brown. green gives life and color

[primal ginkgo]

Yes that is true

[barren swift]

i have 12 white lamps if either of you would wanna trade for your greens @primal ginkgo @dapper ginkgo

[dapper ginkgo]

bro I can trade with u for white street lamps

[barren swift]

DM me!

[gritty forge]

Is it possible to upgrade bridges that are already in place without demolishing them?

[echo epoch]

Hey guys I’m hosting a catalogue party DM me if you want to join.
Must bring 12 items and I’m only taking 4 people.
The entry fee is 1 NMT. 12 Items DM For dodo code

[finite cargo]

Nope

[primal ginkgo]

@barren swift I would but I don’t currently have any greens ordered Dx

[solar acorn]

wrong channel

[hallow dirge]

Anyone good at making island designs! Will pay NMT!!!

[fluid karma]

Anyone got a nice island layout I could look at?

[glacial warren]

Not sure what to do with my island 😭 Want to move all the houses around any ideas?

[solar acorn]

omg your villagers

[glacial warren]

@solar acorn Lmao except I have Violet 🤣

[barren swift]

@primal ginkgo if you ever decide to order, i’d be willing to trade!

[solar acorn]

lol i do love the gorillas tho. I have rocket

[light pumice]

guys. the hedges are so good

[odd creek]

Got a lot of space at the back of my island by ideas about what I could do

[primal ginkgo]

Yesss that looks great

[patent sky]

@fluid karma idk if this is more nice or just organized chaos, I have an urge to just decimate my downtown tho

[glacial warren]

@solar acorn Do like Rocket! Was one of my first villagers but Violet is a nuh

[patent sky]

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

[fluid karma]

@patent sky thanks for the pic. I’d like something with a little more organization of villagers. Thanks anyways though!

[light pumice]

oh graveyard is such a good idea

[raven galleon]

Any idea for my front entrance? I have a very natural forest theme outside the town square so I want it to be quaint

[light pumice]

I know what I'm doing with my empty spot now. brb off to find one of those dang western style stone recipe things

[patent sky]

@raven galleon cedar trees?

[solar acorn]

yeah I was thinking trees too

[next nest]

Does anyone have any beach ideas?

[raven galleon]

I was considering destroying what I have and putting water but idk

[patent sky]

@light pumice I can craft for you if you bring the mats

[light pumice]

@patent sky :o what do you need for them?

[woven drift]

does anyone have ideas on what i can do with empty island space such as a picnic area etc.

@raven galleon some people do the waterfall/double waterfalls on either side of the walkway it looks p nice (:

[granite hemlock]

what's the dimensions of the staircase?

[patent sky]

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

[woven drift]

@patent sky tysm! i’ll probably make a cafe rn

[primal ginkgo]

@raven galleon I don’t think my entrance will fit in your area but it is fairly quaint so I’ll post a pic in a bit!

[stiff scroll]

Ideas on what to do on a plateau/mountaintop?

[marble portal]

anyone got neighborhood pics

[primal ginkgo]

@raven galleon

Going to probably replace the cobble with hedges or bushes not sure yet!

[woven drift]

here’s my island, i got water terraforming today and paths yesterday so it’s a little under developed 😊

[wintry junco]

looks nice!

[granite hemlock]

should i use in game paths for the main paths on my island or the same ones as @primal ginkgo (the ones i want are similar lol)

[keen isle]

working on my island layout but here’s my entrance! still deciding if I want to keep it this way—

[marble portal]

Does anyone have a "Catalog Item" QR sign?

[finite cargo]

I finally have the bells to acheive my cottagecore dream! Lets hope I can execute it!

Its an illusion kayden

[woven drift]

does anyone have a cafe or park that i can take inspo from?

@keen isle I think that's very cool

[weak canyon]

whats the best way to get rid of flowers...?

[primal ginkgo]

Trash can or sell them @weak canyon

[weak canyon]

i meant out of the ground.. is it only wit ha shovel lol

[primal ginkgo]

Yeah

[weak canyon]

wish lawn mowers actually worked lol

[amber onyx]

Where should I put my bridge, I think I have enough room for 3 houses without the bridge so idk where to put it

[scenic blaze]

before i got terraforming i put my bridges as close to the river mouths as i could

[woven drift]

@amber onyx you should put it right above your resident services

[weak canyon]

top middle to talk to the new guy

[glacial warren]

Not sure what to do with the villagers houses 😭 any ideas?

[scenic blaze]

that way i could keep them for longer because you can't change the river mouths

[manic lantern]

Yay or nay guys?

[woven drift]

@glacial warren bruh ur whole island is so organized

The road looks a bit weird being that narrow with such large marking @manic lantern

[amber onyx]

@amber onyx you should put it right above your resident services
@woven drift ok thanks!

[manic lantern]

@woven drift yeah I had a feeling haha

[woven drift]

Can you make it any smaller?

[junior pecan]

Who’s town plaza is perfectly aligned to entrance of airport ?

[woven drift]

Or maybe make some more designs to make the road wider

[mental furnace]

Any ideas on how to get my waterfall to flow into the bottom outlet?

[indigo gale]

Little work on my cafe

[barren swift]

left or right design for under the streetlamps?

[heavy summit]

@weak canyon best way is to invite best friend and let them dig it up

[stiff scroll]

Right

[barren swift]

left has tiny pieces missing in the corner bc it doesn’t spread

[woven drift]

@barren swift right

[indigo gale]

@barren swift right

[barren swift]

that’s what i was thinking too :p

[indigo gale]

Lol

[patent sky]

Defs right

[stray zenith]

hmm need to brainstorm for terraforming ideas

[woven drift]

@indigo gale that looks good! I wouldn't have thought to use the diner stuff in that setting but it works 😁

[patent sky]

I'm laughing so hard at that island name I love it

[glacial warren]

@stray zenith Omg your island name! I love this idea

[indigo gale]

Yeah it’s more a diner

[zinc isle]

LMAO WALMART

[stray zenith]

im the lord walton of the walton family and my villagers are my subservients

[woven drift]

It definitely reads cafe @indigo gale

Lord Walton would you like my crusts

[indigo gale]

I’ll be doing a legit cafe on a hill side style over looking the beach (and I’ll make it have a engagement area on the beach for people to get proposed to and everyone can watch)

[woven drift]

That's cute 😊

[indigo gale]

Yeah spice it up a bit

[stray zenith]

I'm thinking about carving the walmart logo as a lake and islands and putting different flowers on each one

[spare lion]

My new garden area

[fierce blade]

Anyone have any idea of what I should do with this area?

[solar acorn]

more chairs or add bamboo/zen furniture

or a stall

[weak canyon]

water feature? spring bath?

[fierce blade]

Oh I have a fortune cookie cart!

[woven drift]

@spare lion ooo that's nice, you're inspiring me to make a public park, those hedges look noice

[queen hamlet]

does anyone have good layouts for their efficient flower areas?

does anyone have good layouts for their efficient flower areas?
more as a way to work it into a design^

[violet needle]

@fierce blade make a little cafe area! Like a brick oven, a coffee stall with the cappuccino machine n stuff like that

[fierce blade]

@violet needle that’s a cute idea! Thank you!

[woven drift]

@queen hamlet if youre blocking spawns I would go for an allotment type thing, squares of dirt with transparent custom patterns and spades and stuff

[spare lion]

@woven drift thank you!

[woven drift]

Is your name a madoka reference btw @spare lion

[spare lion]

Yes it is!

Someone finally noticed

[sharp stump]

I am so lost haha

[glacial warren]

Does anyone have cute neighborhood ideas?

[woven drift]

How big do you want it to be, and does it have to match a wider style you're going for?

[zenith cave]

My museum area

[amber onyx]

I need to have my houses behind one another, how far back should they be?

[boreal solstice]

@spare lion the bushes/hedges look so good 😭

[tawny glacier]

ok guys i have a question, if my island date for example is may 7th, and i buy turnips. if i go to someone elses island that is lets say, on april 23rd will my turnips spoil?

[autumn pivot]

@glacial warren my New York city style neighborhood no yards like the big city

[digital agate]

Does anyone know if their are conveyor belts in ACNH? I’m trying to make a baggage claim area for my island

[tawdry marsh]

i love that @zenith cave ! i wanna do something like that with mine but i need to move it first

[zenith cave]

It being 7 spaces messed me up 😭

[patent sky]

Idk what bugs me more, the odd number museum spaces or the fact that the well doesn't align with the grid

[finite cargo]

Everyone else has really awesome cottagecore islands but when it comes to my own, my mind just keeps saying MORE CEDAR TREES even tho thats not what I need

[patent sky]

Everyone needs more cedar trees

[woven drift]

Cedar trees are pretty nice tho

[light pumice]

cedar trees are great

[finite cargo]

Maybe Ill lean more toward like a colorado rocky mountain idea. To me, that's the prettiest place in the world. Id love to visit one day so for now I'll make my island like that.

[patent sky]

Do it!!

[light pumice]

the rocky mountains in canada are 👌

[woven drift]

That's a cool concept @finite cargo

[charred jolt]

Can someone come visit and judge my rough layout thing? I’m still moving the buildings and stuff

[finite cargo]

@patent sky last night you told me to design my ideal home, instead of copying a cute idea, and I tried to copy that idea anyway, but it led me to where I am, which is something I think Im loving!

[chrome slate]

Other channel is a tie so I’m asking here: white or natural wood benches

[potent pebble]

White

[light pumice]

white

[chrome slate]

Lmao white it is then

[finite cargo]

White

[tawdry marsh]

purple!

[woven drift]

White for me too

[finite cargo]

Thats so pretty tho btw

[chrome slate]

Oh thank you I was worried it was too simple tbh

[finite cargo]

Sometimes understated makes a statement

[woven drift]

I like the flower choices and music stuff

[tawny glacier]

does anyone here have the garden bench recipe they could craft me, i can give the mats if youd like.

[chrome slate]

I need to move that garden lamp over tho it’s bugging me now that I’ve noticed

[steel junco]

Can you grow bushes directly next to each other or do they need a space apart then can be moved?

[tawny glacier]

they can be next to each other

[bronze grove]

Hey guys I just reset my game and I need help, where should I move my museum ???

[tawny glacier]

they each take up one space

[amber onyx]

This is my island as of now. Where should I move my house and put the campsite down?

[dusk nexus]

Help on my entrance? Not sure if I like it at all. Any suggestions welcome. This is just terraforming so far. https://twitter.com/malikaplays/status/1253435261351940101?s=21

💜✨ M A L I K A ✨💜 (@MalikaPlays)

Very conflicted about my entrance. What do yall think? #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/pA1c8wl4H3

[woven drift]

@bronze grove it depends what you wanna do with it

[tawny glacier]

@amber onyx wait until 3 stars to do it all, as of now, you should put all your houses on the beach

[bronze grove]

@woven drift I want a more secluded area with a nice entrance

[amber onyx]

Ok

[tawny glacier]

@amber onyx it will allow you to have free reign when customizing your island and will save you alot of bells

[amber onyx]

Ok

[woven drift]

Top right could be cool? @bronze grove

[cunning summit]

this is taking so long lmao

[bronze grove]

@woven drift that’s what I was thinking thank you for the feedback

[azure ermine]

Okay I need some advice should I move my shops back further or keep them there? Cause I'm not sure what to put behind my shops.

[tight hawk]

what do the entrancecs to your guys houses look like?

[woven drift]

@bronze grove share some pics on your progress 😁

[limpid quest]

my island just reached 5 stars!

[bronze grove]

@woven drift for sure 🤝

[woven drift]

@azure ermine make a park or maybe a seating area

[candid terrace]

@azure ermine that’s my biggest debate right now

[woven drift]

@limpid quest congrats! I hit 5 tonight too 😁

I personally wouldn't move them any further back though, you got enough space to do something cute back there instead

[tawdry marsh]

@steep vale maybe can move the river closer to the shops so you'll have more land room on the other side ? Instead of moving them!

[candid terrace]

@azure ermine a riverside cafe would be good

[patent sky]

@finite cargo I'm so glad!!

[woven drift]

You guys like this park i made?

Yes but more flowers

Good idea, the bushes havent grown yet so those will also look good

Yeah that's true! It's a great layout though

[scenic blaze]

@tawny glacier i can craft garden bench if someone hasn't helped you yet

[woven drift]

I'm saving that pic for inspo

[true flame]

anyone need some inspiration for an island entrance?

[thorn kestrel]

Please

[dusk nexus]

Me

[untold wraith]

can you guys share your shopping areas? i need inspo 🙂

[tawdry marsh]

me!

[true flame]

this is what I have so far :

[blissful socket]

guys I am super unhappy with everything I put there any tips??

[charred jolt]

Can someone come visit to judge my rough layout

[tawdry marsh]

aw, thats super cute!

[true flame]

it's a double waterfall but it was cropped

[glacial warren]

Shop designs right now

[rocky marten]

does anyone have any graveyard inspiration?

[woven drift]

Are there quite a few bar related items? Like stools and an actual bar? I'm making one above the pool.

@blissful socket where? My answer is probably flowers lol

[scenic blaze]

i'm still fighting this dang airport entrance. i wanted to keep the tiers small but i don't have room for trees in the middle one so now i'm expanding the cliffs

[weak canyon]

yellow bushes would be cute above th log bench mothra

[lime rampart]

You guys like this park i made?
@woven drift looks amazing! Job well done 🙂

[blissful socket]

i want to put furniture there but everything looks kind of shit

[scenic blaze]

yellow hibiscus are what i'm growing there! 🙂

[woven drift]

That's really nice

[weak canyon]

OH WERK LOVE IT

[woven drift]

I like the trees on the higher levels

[scenic blaze]

thank you! i'm trying to highlight my native fruit and flower bc it's my island entrance but i also want to add cedar so now i'm expanding the cliffs to make room

[woven drift]

@scenic blaze could you craft me 4 garden benches please?

[copper lagoon]

You guys like this park i made?
@woven drift looks awesome!!

[woven drift]

Cedars will look 👌 with your log bench @scenic blaze

And the green mums and the pears go so nice, your natives I assume?

[scenic blaze]

@woven drift ping me a dodo code, they take 12 wood and 4 iron each 🙂

@woven drift yes they're my natives! i am so happy i got green on green for both flowers and fruit lol. airport is green too. all a happy accident.

[woven drift]

Niiice

why is that emoji so MASSIVE

like jfc lmfao

Green eyes huge ok

[tawny glacier]

bro i need to get one of my villagers to move out so i can get kabuki, his house is so cooooool 🤩

[woven drift]

time to get that net out

Lollll

[tawny glacier]

hahaha

[weak canyon]

lolll

[woven drift]

there was an attempt

[light pumice]

little graveyard by the river c:

[woven drift]

Watch the bodies don't end up on the beach

I've seen that happen, some dead bird thing

[light pumice]

yuck

[woven drift]

i wish you could have one where there is a permanently dug hole\

[zenith cave]

I wanna make a graveyard for lucky but I haven’t the grave item yet

[quiet galleon]

Does anyone have any constructive criticism they could give me on this layout? I’m trying to go for a more wild kind of theme and vaguely maintain the original layout I had when I started but I’m not so sure anymore. I feel like it could be better but I have no idea where I could go to keep what I have original and not like “here’s the neighborhood area, here’s the shopping district, etc.” that sort of thing. Not too many of the same thing in one area, not entirely organized, just like... natural. I don’t know if that makes sense.

[woven drift]

for a "natural" look theres too much structure in your pathways

[tawny glacier]

@quiet galleon try some checkered paths instead of very straight ones, it makes it look alot more natural

[woven drift]

very box-y looking

[frosty pond]

Which layout is better ?

[woven drift]

Scattering dirt paths/custom stones can look good

[tawny glacier]

@frosty pond top right

[woven drift]

Lower right imo

[tawny glacier]

ew but dat RS looks kinda doodoo

[woven drift]

true

[true flame]

top right

[weak canyon]

RS?

[tawny glacier]

top right i think is most versatile

[woven drift]

resident services

[unborn badge]

@frosty pond doesn't really matter that much

[frosty pond]

Residents service

[woven drift]

It looks fine, everyone doesn't need to have the same kind of entrance lol

the plaza

[deep tide]

top right is very nice imo

[true flame]

actually wait

[tawny glacier]

@frosty pond dont listen to what @unborn badge just said, it does matter

[true flame]

bottom left

[tawny glacier]

TOP RIGHT GANG WYA

[frosty pond]

Lol

[deep tide]

my rs is too close to the airport for me to make a nice entrance,, i kind of regret it lol

[true flame]

it's the most alligned with dodo

[ashen nymph]

anyone have inspo for the areas surrounding town hall? tired of throwing flowers and trees down to line it

[true flame]

top right or bottom left

[heavy summit]

Pick the one with the biggest dock

[unborn badge]

lol

[frosty pond]

But it's so close, my old island was like that too and I had no room for an entrance @true flame

[brave crane]

anyone have any cute farmers market type things?

[tawny glacier]

@frosty pond im telling you, you have plenty of room on top right to make an entrance, it doesnt need to line up

go fo da top right, it best layout

[frosty pond]

Ahh true

[tawny glacier]

last thing you want is a RS that is right in front of your airport like 3 feet away

[woven drift]

Gah there is no island template, it's not Instagram, you don't need to produce identical islands 😔

[heavy summit]

Maybe u do if ur island is market focused

[versed depot]

Sorry but if you don’t have a waterfall corridor entrance I’m obligated to call the AC police on you

Conformity or jail

[frosty pond]

Alright @tawny glacier but if the fruit ain't the 🍑 imma reset

[tawny glacier]

@frosty pond bet

[heavy summit]

Too many people spam waterfalls everywhere

[tawny glacier]

you could just trade for peaches lol

[true flame]

I bought shrubs off another person's island and they aren't growing flowers why?

[finite cargo]

Dudes isabelle is gonna hate how many trees I have.

[versed depot]

That’s exactly what I did.

[frosty pond]

That's the second time oof lol

[echo sparrow]

little concert venue for live music seems a little bare. anything else i can add? D:

[heavy summit]

Put all ur villagers at the beach

[tawny glacier]

@frosty pond why you want peaches so bad

@frosty pond apples lowkey look the nicest

omg

[weak canyon]

lolol

[glossy lynx]

nice

[woven drift]

bruh you really trying it again huh

[frosty pond]

Gonna go cor cherries maybe

Sorry I'll stop rip lol

[heavy summit]

Its probably auto filtered

[patent sky]

@tight niche the simple panels threw me way off for a second, nice alley!

[heavy summit]

Anyone trying to build a giant pyramid island yet

[tired verge]

@echo sparrow you could add some rope fencing, floor lights, or maybe a stall that sells albums/tshirts

[frosty pond]

I tried an oasis/ desert island and it didnt work out @heavy summit that's why I'm restarting 😢

Look at my bois that I had to give up

[heavy summit]

Why didnt it work out

[boreal solstice]

@echo sparrow imo expanding the grass by one or two blocks and putting a fence might look nice?

[lilac skiff]

I

[frosty pond]

Ehh It was too flat imo

[tidal pike]

why-

[heavy summit]

What is that like 4 preppy wtf

[lilac skiff]

You have two of the villagers i want ....

[autumn pivot]

[heavy summit]

Peppy

[frosty pond]

Had @lilac skiff

[boreal solstice]

[frosty pond]

They're in the shadow realm now

[lilac skiff]

Well shit. Rip judy and rosie D:

[heavy summit]

Ur villager is almost all the same personality lol

Just talk to 2 and they basically say the same thing for the rest

[tidal pike]

rip judy and Raymond, both 1000+ NMTs

[heavy summit]

Why start over when u can just terraform everything

[frosty pond]

Ayyeee

[tidal pike]

[hardy prism]

I really need help

[frosty pond]

Yup tried to sell em but got over 100 dms so just voided wm

[heavy summit]

[frosty pond]

Oh no green airport , prolly gonna reset oof

[tidal pike]

bruhh I wanted green airport the most 😢

[boreal solstice]

i went for all lazy/normal villagers and im happy w it 🥰 even if they some times say the same stuff

[heavy summit]

Ur really gonna min max animal crossing huh

[hardy prism]

I need help

[frosty pond]

Also I terraformed the entire island flat , would've been too much work imo @heavy summit I'm lazy

[hardy prism]

Can someone help me out

[frosty pond]

Aye I got robot ostrich tho nice

[tidal pike]

lol my island wasn't terraformed flat ever, just edited clifs and rivvers a bit and tried to make it work haha, so my spacing might be off a bit but its ok 😓

[heavy summit]

I got him too

Robot chicken

[still wasp]

Picnic area!

[heavy summit]

Ima bulldoze my entire island this weekend or next week anyways

[boreal solstice]

maybe set the campsite up in the middle of the C shaped cliff @hardy prism idk

[woven drift]

Nice @still wasp you need the picnic basket lol! I like your little waterfalls

[tawny glacier]

@tidal pike why didnt you give away some of your stuff to others before you wiped

[boreal solstice]

like there or something 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[misty pier]

What do you think?

[tidal pike]

@tawny glacier I didn't wipe, it was someone else

[still wasp]

@woven drift yep lol I have such a small catalog

[tawny glacier]

oh ok

i gave away all of my money and NMT to my friend when i wiped

i had like 300+ and like 12MIL bells

[tidal pike]

oh lol I would never wipeeeee I spent too much time on the gameee

wowww rich I only have like 80 nmts

[tawny glacier]

i wiped my old one because my town hall location sucked

[boreal solstice]

i think about restarting all the time but i got all the ironwood DIYs and i like all my villagers lmao

[tidal pike]

LOL my town hall location is bad too haha, way to close to airport, I made it work tho

[finite cargo]

My residential area is finally coming together 😍😭 1mil later lmfao

[tight niche]

i didnt like my town hall location but i found a way to build around it

[tawny glacier]

do you time travel daniela

[tight niche]

to look good

[finite cargo]

Oh hell yeah hahaha of course I do

[jagged mountain]

My tribute to the Roost

[thorn kestrel]

Does anyone have like an onsen area

[finite cargo]

No other way I could do it this fast

[woven drift]

My town hall is way too close to my airport but whatever

[tawny glacier]

is 1MIL that much, i just sell NMT so i get money very fast

[hardy prism]

I made 2 mil today

Through turnips

[scenic blaze]

lambert!!! wow!!!

[finite cargo]

is 1MIL that much, i just sell NMT so i get money very fast
@tawny glacier thats exactly what I did lol I sold 13nmt for 2.6 mil

[woven drift]

I literally only have 50k

[finite cargo]

Im down to 1.5 mil

[hardy prism]

I’m at 3

[thorn kestrel]

Same @woven drift . Im thinking of making the airport exit turn right straight away to bring it in line with the town hall

[tawny glacier]

i have 350 NMT left from selling Judy yesterday, i sold her for 500NMT in like 25 seconds lol

[scenic blaze]

my town had turnips for 503 yesterday and i made like 7mil i'm so excited to guilt-free demolish inclines and bridges rn

[brave crane]

can i see someone’s market? like with their stalls and stuff??

[carmine hill]

anyone have/know of a good urban themed island tour video?

[tawny glacier]

does anyone here have the garden bench DIY they can craft, i can give the materials

[scenic blaze]

Terraforming experts does the circled bit look realistic or does it need more tweaking

[heavy summit]

I have an urban||prison|| theme

[tight niche]

i have an urban shipping complex theme

[autumn pivot]

if by urban you mean urban prison than yes very "urban"

[versed depot]

I’d say your paths get kinda narrow, but if that’s what you’re going for then it looks good to me. Not sure if I’m an “expert” though.

[jagged mountain]

@scenic blaze nice island layout!

[spare lion]

I made this neighborhood area a while ago. What do you guys think?

[heavy summit]

It depends on the theme and actual view, we dont the context of just looking at a map

[autumn pivot]

do you guys use alot of 2 wide pathing?

[scenic blaze]

yeah they're only one tile between the cliffs but you can't see them except in island designer mode so i don't mind the narrow paths

thanks lambert!

[zealous sleet]

@spare lion it looks really good. i love the how that fencing looks with the paths and how the area leads to resident service. so good

[barren lily]

any ideas to fill in my bottom right?

[autumn pivot]

i need the log bench diy so bad

[spare lion]

i need the log bench diy so bad
@sheriffREKK/t.tv#0215 doesn’t it come with a diy pack in nook’s cranny?

[final moon]

Diamond pattern for planting trees looks nice on bamboo if any of you wanna try

[muted rivet]

Does anyone have a fun entrance design?

[final moon]

Double diamond works well for lush forests

[zealous sleet]

i just cleared every thing off my island and making a different entrance that works is so hard with where my resident service is located

[final moon]

Diagonal squares works well for fruit trees

[wary raptor]

Sketching out my new island

[scenic blaze]

I think I’m finally happy with the terraforming here, still needs more decor and for the bushes to grow but maybe I can put away this dang cliff tool for the night

[spare lion]

A sort of zen-esque recreation area. I might refine the theme later on.

[proper sandal]

What site are ya using for this? HID? Can you upload default maps?

[muted rivet]

Wow, mothra that looks awesome!

[slow dagger]

@proper sandal happy island designer

[scenic blaze]

thank you!

[patent wren]

can someone help me redesign? my island isnt very space efficient and i would like to decorate a lot!

[honest lagoon]

if anyone needs tips on making islands more accessible for hippos lmk

[proper sandal]

Thanks @slow dagger , just struggling with trying to copy my island default to it

[spare lion]

@scenic blaze I love that! I might use that as inspiration

[scenic blaze]

dylan my best tip for rivers is to remember that they don't have to connect in the middle, you can have them going in different directions and it'll give you a lot more useable space in the middle of the map

omg i'm flattered 😭 please do!!

[surreal knot]

Anyone have an incline leading to their museum? It's killing me that I can't centre it 😭

[zenith cave]

yeah it sucks, i decided to do 1 on each side

[slow dagger]

@surreal knot you can put 1 inclide on each side

[tight niche]

is it possible to put two inclines right next to each other

i wanna make a 4 wide ramp but idk if i can

[surreal knot]

@slow dagger I've seen a lot of those so wanted to go a bit more unique. I wish we could diagonal incline...

[zenith cave]

would be cool ngl

[spiral shadow]

here’s my moon entrance, going to switch out the garden lights with star lights when i can

[slow dagger]

gotta work with what you got lol @surreal knot

[zealous sleet]

@tight niche it would look cool but i dont know if you can put them that close to eachother and if you could they wouldnt join together so would probably look a lil weird

[slow dagger]

^

[little wave]

I love the hedges so much.

[tight niche]

that SUCKS

whatever

i have something i can do to compensate for that

[granite hemlock]

i want to do a really cool hilly entrance but my town hall is too close to the airport

[open valve]

HELP!!! I have a neighborhood going in the middle and I like my house where it is. I have an orchard opposite my house. I don’t know what else to do 😦

[zealous sleet]

i still wish you could, it would make a beautiful grand entrance lol

[polar dagger]

Does anybody have any ideas?

[spiral shadow]

@granite hemlock my city hall is right next to my airport as well, but it worked out in the end

[woven drift]

Does anyone have an example of a map for inspiration?

[granite hemlock]

@spiral shadow wait really? could u send in ur map?

[zenith cave]

@polar dagger you can add some popcorn machines, fortune cookie cart if you have

[split badger]

How do y'all get bushes

[woven hill]

update teh game and sloth outside services

[sharp stump]

I’ve terraformed and designed my layout before but before I could finish, I just decided to re do it since it wasn’t making my happy. I’m a visual person and I used to draw on paper but it just isn’t working anymore. Is happy home designer the best route to go in designing the layout of my island?

[woven hill]

also talk to nook for a diy

[spiral shadow]

@granite hemlock

[granite hemlock]

thanks!

[silk nimbus]

@sharp stump the happy home designer is great if you’re a visual person, highly recommend

[spiral shadow]

still working on my island

i’m wondering if i should connect the moon lake with the museum

[barren lily]

tips on what to do w/ the bottom right?

[woven drift]

You should make a picnic area!!

[left wigeon]

anyone have entrance ideas???

[sharp stump]

@sharp stump the happy home designer is great if you’re a visual person, highly recommend
@silk nimbus would you say the grids are accurate? In like making house lots? Or it’s more to just have an overall look?

[proper sandal]

@sharp stump I just posted to reddit to hopefully get answers; i'm struggling as well to see my default map and then modify going from there

[woven drift]

I have no idea what I want to do with my town

[glad ember]

Is there an app or website that allows you to make a mock map of your island?

[sharp stump]

@sharp stump I just posted to reddit to hopefully get answers; i'm struggling as well to see my default map and then modify going from there
@proper sandal which subreddit? Horizon design?

[candid sigil]

My entrance is very close to the airport and I’m aiming for a fairy core island, tips?

[proper sandal]

No just ac_newhorizons

[timid kernel]

It's a good site to design but it can be a bit hard to use and take up some extra time. Also if you want help on how to fill in an area then typical stuff like a park or a lot of trees, farm area, ect are good unless you got a theme going. Providing more info can help people

[glad ember]

Love the heart @candid sigil

[halcyon aurora]

Who else feels like their island is trash compared to everyone else’s?

[deep saffron]

Is anyone else making an outside building? I’m making my island a huge manor

[spiral shadow]

@halcyon aurora dont worry, i felt that way and so i made the decision to completely scrap my island by making it flat

[tight niche]

used wooden mini tables and wooden block bookcases to make my stack of boxes higher lol

[bronze grove]

Any ideas for my entrance??

[fallow drift]

If i dont have a river leading into the ocean would i still get river mouth fish spawns?

[halcyon aurora]

@spiral shadow major oof

[woven drift]

I’m trying to find examples of cute maps online but i just keep finding the same god damn ones

[true flame]

make a waterfall entrance

[tight niche]

i flattened and rebuilt my island after i got terraforming too

[halcyon aurora]

@bronze grove what I did was make a walkway of trees or bushes to resident services

[polar dagger]

@bronze grove

[trail nexus]

@bronze grove I always like the custom design signs people place on the ground with their town names

[bronze grove]

Thanks for the ideas

It’s not symmetrical so I’m stumped on how to do the pathway

[gaunt orbit]

So here is my current island, and the other image is what I plan to do within the next 2 months, however, I have things in ? Which I want opinions on what I should do there

Stuff in white has already happened, stuff in black is happening, stuff in orange is in process

[timid kernel]

(not my pic) Something like this could be good for people with more limited space, waterfalls sorta work but can be limiting with the amount of space that is there. You can also not even connect the airport with RS and go to the left + right and later on reconnect the path after you turn it

[indigo gale]

What should I put in these areas? (Stairs will be removed)

[trail nexus]

Where does the path end up when you place it down @bronze grove?

[drifting lake]

I mean those are big blank areas. You can literally do anything. @indigo gale

[woven drift]

@gaunt orbit Top area could be wilderness, lots of trees and tons of flowers with like a campground within

[bronze grove]

A little to the left of resident services

[indigo gale]

Exactly I just don’t know exactly what so

[gaunt orbit]

@woven drift that’s an amazing idea! I suppose I could move the campsite there?

[trail nexus]

Mine is also off centred, I blocked them off with trees so resident services wasn't visible from the airport

[woven drift]

@gaunt orbit yeah, I made a campsite with a central bonfire and stuff like bushes, swinging benches, log table and all sorts

[timid kernel]

Path Path | water water | Path Path < @bronze grove you could try something like this if you wanna try to connect it still otherwise it may be wiser to do something more simple or just go to the left + right with the path and make a road to it later

[indigo gale]

Think I’m gonna do a little market/sitting area

[woven drift]

@gaunt orbit Here's mine, the left side is cropped but that just has a clothesline and trees

[soft girder]

Anyone know how i can move the river to have more space on both sides? I don't know what to do :(

[bronze grove]

@timid kernel I’m not really sure what you mean could you show a picture ?

[mossy oyster]

@woven drift you able to send a photo of your camp area? I need inspiration for mine lol

[gaunt orbit]

@woven drift that’s a great idea, thanks so much 😅😅, I had legit no clue what to do with such a large space, as everything’s cramped for me, but that is perfect

[woven drift]

Have fun!

[vapid hemlock]

Does anyone have a good inspo for a canyon/mountain pass?

[timid kernel]

@bronze grove something like this

[spice rain]

anyone have any neighborhood styles they could share?

[bronze grove]

@timid kernel thanks

[timid kernel]

np

[woven drift]

Does anyone have any tips? About to start terraforming and idk what I’m doing

[timid kernel]

you got an easy RS + airport lineup so you could go that route.

[trim finch]

can anyone give me some tips on my island? how to make it cuter? any suggestions? if so pls tell me and i’ll give you a dodo code to stop by!:) i am aiming for cute girly and pink!

[trail nexus]

@woven drift I'd start with the big ideas first. Do you want a double waterfall? A house on the top cliff? I found the 3rd floor to be the hardest to plan. Things fell into place when I finished it

[timid kernel]

yeah start in one place and try to build outward.

[woven drift]

I’m thinking of having my house in the main residential area anyways but as for everything else I’m not sure what I’m doing oops

[trail nexus]

You also laid your houses out in a way where starting from the top corner might be easiest, then working down!

I adore a more natural town, where the houses are scattered and using custom stepping stones to lead to them. I did mine so all the houses were along the cliffs, so they had a view of the main town from their homes

[woven drift]

I love that idea

[fathom plover]

In the process of recreating my island, what sections of it should I have? I have several little areas but I don’t know what to do with them. Help?

[finite cargo]

I hate that you cant move bridges and stairs like you can houses. I hate demolishing then rebuilding ugh

Already lost like 500,000 bells from those stairs and some old bridges alone

ok well my dreams just got SMASHED INTO THE FLOOR, i just looked at the DIY for a robot hero and now im sad, i could afford that if i spend like all my NMT but no thanks

[frosty pond]

Oh you were serious?

[tawny glacier]

sadly yes

[trim finch]

[frosty pond]

Thought you were being sarcastic lmao

[trail nexus]

Use monster statues as place holders? Haha

[tawny glacier]

hell no, that would be cool as hell

[woven drift]

@soft girder could do but more pink, jk but I love your themed flowers

[tawny glacier]

i was totally serious when i made that statement

imagine having two giant robots staring at you as you exit the airport

kewl

[frosty pond]

Lol nice

[tawny glacier]

but my dreams are sadly 6 feet under

how many NMT do those things go for already crafted

robot heros

[frosty pond]

Idk your best bet would be to trade rare villagers for them

[tawny glacier]

i have around 350NMT in my storage but idk how much they cost, because buying all those materials will take much too long

[heady mica]

any inspo for making a cute organized neighborhood of villager homes

[vagrant nebula]

I got rid of all the rivers on my island, any tips on how my new layout should be?

@vagrant nebula maybe get your villager houses closer to each other?

[tawny glacier]

@quiet portal you have tons of space lmao

[tight niche]

😔

[woven drift]

its nearly a full grid space

[polar dagger]

@quiet portal make a seating area

[woven drift]

so just try counting the available space and work around that?

Ive made my park better!

[exotic sparrow]

Anyone got any ideas for decoration for the area just outside the airport? I've got a decent amount of space forward before my resident services

[bitter inlet]

This is my cafe atm, I put a bike, menu chalkboard, and soft serve lamp in front of the fences and white flowers & iron garden chair/table behind. I wanna improve it, feel free to give advice!

[exotic sparrow]

Just any inspiration basically lol

[scenic blaze]

what aesthetic are you trying to go for with the airport?

[exotic sparrow]

I initially was gonna go for a japanese-y sort of theme for the island/village after seeing that one really crazy island based on Shibuya I saw on twitter but now I realize I just want something cozy =3=

[random crystal]

Does anyone have a rainbow garden that uses all flower types and colors?

[tight niche]

@exotic sparrow which one

i wanna see it lol

[exotic sparrow]

Um hang on lemme see if I can find it (I assume it's cool if I link twitter posts?)

Oh it's a reddit post, that's slightly easier

https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/fta9jg/showing_off_my_japanese_inspired_town/

[keen jackal]

wondering if anyone has seen that island that did a long Japanese style alleyway market with telephone poles and stuff, i saw it before but cant find a pic of it anywhere😭

[tight niche]

ill take a look

[exotic sparrow]

I'm not gonna go this far since I realized this would be a loooooot of work so now I'm just going for something a little more er....subtle. Like I may wanna put a little market somewhere with the stalls but other than that I ain't turning my island into a city xD

If anything just enjoy how neat this island is : D

[tight niche]

its aight, this isnt my favorite though

ive seen better city villages

[vapid pulsar]

This is very much a work in progress, but any advice for making the rivers look less weird and out of place?

Oh no no worries!!

[exotic sparrow]

What're some things you guys have built on the first bits of space after getting off the airport? o.o

[woven drift]

nothing, its my disaster area

[burnt forum]

Can I see how someone spaced their villagers? I think mine might be too close to each other or too close to my pathways and I wanna try giving them like bushes and stuff

[exotic sparrow]

Fair enough x'D

[frail belfry]

Can some people here with finished maps DM me pics of what they've made? I've got serious terraformer's block 😂😂

did you also put them on a hill? @scenic blaze cause I thought about doing that too but idk since I got so many inclines

[vapid pulsar]

@exotic sparrow I'm working on mine but will finish it soon and then I can show you

[scenic blaze]

yeah it's two-tiered, i wanted to add some visual interest and it only used up one incline

[woven drift]

Still lots to do

Had this in front of the museum for a while but it takes up too much qr space so I think I'll change it soon

Has anyone used their extra player houses for scenery? I’m considering for example a graveyard keeper, leaving his house as the first upgrade

[wispy sequoia]

@versed wadi oh np^^

[woven drift]

i thought about it, but instead using a tent near the campsite for added effect @drifting lake

[versed wadi]

@wispy sequoiabells could be worse I noticed a rude image under the house on my map today. 😆

[woven drift]

@versed wadi i love your little farming area

[drifting lake]

seems like there are a lot of opportunities with extra houses

Ooh McGibbon I just looked at yours how much space do u give each?? And does it feel crowded?

[versed wadi]

@woven drift thanks, search in here for farm and there are definitely some much better ones!

[versed wadi]

@burnt forum I tried to build it round the town square but make sure each villager had a different size yard. Enough to decorate with a decent amount of furniture in each. I’ve started uprooting my villagers and moving them into themed areas to match their houses around the map now though.

[nova vale]

May I please see peoples diners for some inspo ?
Outdoor diners**

[burnt forum]

oooh thats cool. Man I cant think of the expense to keep moving them ugh do u guys tt when u move the houses to make the process faster?

[woven drift]

Yes

[versed wadi]

I do, just forward then back a day. Same with construction projects like ramps. Helps me decorate around it

[burnt forum]

I see I see. Now to think where to temporarily move these guys cause my island is either overdecorated or has no empty spaces ; v ;

[versed wadi]

Stick em on the beach temporarily

[burnt forum]

they can go on the beach?

[long rose]

Does anyone have any outdoor inspo

[versed wadi]

Lol, I learnt that today too!

[bold vale]

I can't figure out what to do with my buildings... (thats why theyre on the beach righ now) im trying to make a cool entrance for my airport but it's hard bc my resident services building is so close... anyone have inspo for entrances/plazas for their buildings? also... everyone has their villagers in close neighborhoods... im second guessing my design choices now...

tbh thats the best way to go cause I did it and now Im slowly getting a feel of what I want

I love that entrance

im making rn like a way so u can go to the secret little beach lol

What are those little green ball twiggy things? @glass crane

i'm trying to go foresty with mine but it's a real work in progress

[woven drift]

So my residential services is immediately in front of the airport.. still can’t tell if I like it or not. I haven’t started terraforming though.

[glass crane]

this is the area im currently working on xD it's a process

[burnt forum]

I think you can make it work! Kinda like the greeting desk

[woven drift]

Lots immediately in front of it. It’s both cool and unsightly though.

[bold creek]

i think ima delete all my rivers and the third floor

[burnt forum]

I think you can decorate it up to look good! Maybe lots of scenery

[versed wadi]

I also forgot immediately that houses could go on the beach because that would solve the hour of banging my head against gross sand path to beach transitions!

@glass crane do you have any tips on making the water look so natural like it does on your map?

[versed wadi]

Thanks I’ll put it next to Dobie’s lodge 🙂

[burnt forum]

time to travel for years lol a beach of houses

[glass crane]

ummm idk really xD just no harsh edges or corners i guess? and don't be afraid to make parts of it one or two blocks wide, natural rivers aren't the same width apart everywhere xD

[mystic bolt]

I'm so jealous of those signposts. All of yesterday and today I got DIYs that I already owned

[glass crane]

and fork it, rivers have little islands in the middle sometimes that you can put a tree on or something

[vapid pulsar]

First draft of my island entrance. Need to probably make the one in the back wider still

@glass crane that actually helps. My rivers are really thick right now and I think I need to trim them in places to help

[glass crane]

asymmetry is key i guess LOL

[bold creek]

im mad all my flowers made other flowers grow now its a pain to dig them all up so i can terraform

[vapid pulsar]

@glass crane this is my WIP map

[deep saffron]

I really wish we could put rugs outside :(

[glass crane]

oh cute!!! see you already have some little islands which i love

[spiral veldt]

I'm gonna transfer that neighborhood on the right to the left and I have everything plotted out but idk if it'll look as good as it was

The reason I'm gonna move it is cause I thought it took up too much space and this might help

[vapid pulsar]

Yeah. The left side looks good to me but the right side of my map looks really weird

[glass crane]

you could make part of that river going up thinner in some parts just to give it some variety

[deep saffron]

Start of the master bedroom of the outside mansion!

[topaz shale]

anyone else completely redesign their island after hearing about redd? cause i did

[glass crane]

omg an outside mansion

[woven drift]

think after seeing enough layouts, I’m starting to like how stupid close my building is. Thanks everyone.

[vapid pulsar]

@topaz shale just where he lands or his stuff or?

[glass crane]

i am redoing part of my island to make a path going to my small back beach xDDD

i wish i could change the location of my town hall

[burnt forum]

Thats why Im moving mine April

[uneven gorge]

I couldn't be bothered to make a path , I just made sure I could go down to the secret beach

[vapid pulsar]

I luckily had already moved my house to be next to the secret beach (only accessible through some jumping stones and hidden path of course)

[barren karma]

is this even? the map makes it look uneven, and my OCD is going ballistic :/

[burnt forum]

looks like it to me

[opal raven]

looks even

[deep saffron]

Yep!

[woven drift]

im new to the AC series and work at an art museum so i made a special little area and incline down to the secret beach

[uneven gorge]

Its even, I can count two blocks on both sides

[topaz shale]

@vapid pulsar i had raised most of my island to the 2nd level/1st cliff and i decided i didn’t want to go up to go back down so i re terraformed the entire island back to the base height and that opens a whole new dilemma because idk what i want to do with my island now

[barren karma]

sweet! what should i put in the middle? or shall i remove the middle
also, should i keep the split or make it all waterfall?

[barren swift]

hedges should have some sort of floral on them. all green. needs some color. they look great, but i’m afraid too much of them will be bland

[versed wadi]

Making it a tiny bit uneven though would give it a bit of character 😉

[deep saffron]

I’m gonna use statues SO MUCH I’m hyped to get them-
Anyone else wish we could hand wall items on cliffs?

[barren karma]

i was thinking of buying two lily of the valleys to put in the middle...

[woven drift]

i really want my statues near my water fountain

[barren karma]

shall i make the whole back of it waterfall, or keep it as two mini waterfalls? also shall i keep the middle blocks for some sort of flowers/decoration or remove them?

[versed wadi]

i was thinking of buying two lily of the valleys to put in the middle...

[barren karma]

[woven drift]

@burnt forum what do you mean?

It’s hard to think of decorating, but starting over sounds so boring..

Rate my design 1-10

[sly stream]

yall ever take down an entire cliff and feel good afterwards seeing all the free space

[opal raven]

it ain't much, but it's honest work

[sly stream]

@woven drift beautious

[barren karma]

@sly stream ive literally just done that.... its so good

[tawny glacier]

@woven drift it might be better with rainbow lights

[burnt forum]

Im moving my villagers homes cause I think theyre all too close together @woven drift

[tawny glacier]

i can catalog them to you if youd like

[woven drift]

@tawny glacier yes please i’d love to 🙏🏼

[sly stream]

@barren karma i’m saying. i’m moving nooks cranny and i’m turning this now big area into like a farmers market

[barren karma]

@sly stream this is from like an hour ago before i shaped my cliff and removed the front, but its so neat and freeing....

[tawny glacier]

@woven drift i have orange, red,pink,purple, and blue, and light blue

[woven drift]

Oh! Yeah I get that lol. Thought you mean the town hall. It sucks when you’re just one block off to having them aligned too.

[charred axle]

[barren karma]

(i know able sisters is off center. i hate it too, ill fix it soon)

[burnt forum]

[topaz shale]

[woven drift]

lmfao

I love it! Once you have it set up it’ll be amazing.

[sly stream]

100k to move it one block no ma’am

[barren karma]

luckily, its not one block for me... my last town was so bad for that

[charred axle]

haha ill post it when its like decorated and stuff, its just terraformed so nothing in it hehe

[barren karma]

i got a house two tiles off, had to move it to the cliff bc i couldnt move it TWO FORWARD because it was already there, then move it back

it was 60k for that hellish experience

[scenic blaze]

WOW I second the request for in game pics soon @charred axle

[glass crane]

[barren swift]

[glass crane]

[barren karma]

[glass crane]

i love the country fence im using it EVERYWHERE LOL

[topaz shale]

[charred axle]

awh ty haha i keep on changing the lahout but its so fun .. you just go with the flow

layout*

[barren swift]

i’m gonna experiment with hedges and bushes in that location

[barren karma]

if i ever change my mind after this, im deleting the game
i spent 10 hours terraforming, and im not even done

[glass crane]

LOL MOOD

[barren swift]

don’t over-terraform

[topaz shale]

@barren karma i did a national park type of deal on my old save and made it so that when i crosses the river it was more nnatural with weeds and cedar trees for the museum and the campsite

[deep ruin]

Hey, could someone with a stone staircase incline show me a picture of stone path connected to it? I need to know if it's going to match.

[barren karma]

ill experiment with my paths first... and then ill decide!

[deep saffron]

Dudes I’m at 310 hours and I’ve restarted 3 times lmao, and they all include full-terraforming

Not fun

[woven drift]

imma never restart mine

[somber portal]

[finite cargo]

Dude... I'll never restart

[woven drift]

I’ve Redone half of my island 5 times

[barren karma]

[bold creek]

[wheat fable]

I wish I was creative enough to make a nice looking island lol when I started the game I just put villager houses down randomly

[deep saffron]

I’d have so many more hours tbh but i got really discouraged from playing for days until like yesterday when i got my new idea,

[prime tusk]

3000 NMT? Wtf

[glass crane]

[bold creek]

[glass crane]

all my waking hours of the day

[finite cargo]

Oh yall in school..... I already graduated college... last year....

[topaz shale]

@barren karma i used a custom design of a square to figure out spacing to maybe put it down so you have a visual marker if things are even

[glass crane]

LOL

[woven drift]

I’m so indecisive when it comes to designing stuff

[deep ruin]

Anybody have a stone incline who could show me what it looks like connected to stone path? 😅

[somber portal]

[bold creek]

[barren karma]

jeez.... looking at all this makes me wanna restart again bc what if mine sucks--

[glass crane]

the only pretty thing on my island is this

[languid shadow]

what do u guys think of my map layout i designed online so far? i know it’s pretty empty but thats bc that website is so ANNOYING to use lmao. the crossed areas are where i will have a cafe + market place & the building above the tooth shaped lake is the museum

[woven drift]

Thanks, I’m no where near done with anything tho

[bold creek]

my island rn bc i have done nothing xD

[ripe quarry]

Having to redo my island for the secret beach just almost isn’t worth it to me, especially since I’d have to work around like 3 tier levels

[topaz shale]

@glass crane teach me your ways

[scenic blaze]

Willow stop I need your island lmao

[patent sky]

@scenic blaze uhhhh

[topaz shale]

i can’t terraform naturally

[barren karma]

willow your island is so cute, i love cottagecore stuff

[glass crane]

how do you guys have the patience to terraform your island completely flat i could never

[sly stream]

@deep ruin i gotchu

[glass crane]

tyyyyy ehehhee 🙂

[barren karma]

i almost didnt have that patience

[boreal patrol]

@deep ruin hope this helps

[scenic blaze]

I still see a face on the map buuuut I didn’t see it til you pointed it out

[topaz shale]

@glass crane took me about two days and a half

[patent sky]

Oh good

[barren karma]

it took me 10 hours, i did it all today
dies

[topaz shale]

it’s easier to terraform flat than it is to build up cause you can just walk in a straight line

[sly stream]

they don’t connect anymore than this @deep ruin

[spiral kite]

First week vs now

[deep ruin]

@sly stream ty so much!

[somber portal]

i just made an atlas moth fly away-

[sly stream]

ofc!!! <33

[worldly notch]

[barren karma]

[topaz shale]

[sly stream]

brick???? arched tile?? terra cotta???

[bold creek]

ikr lol cant relate the 30 flowers that are now like 500 flowers are ruining my terraforming

[woven drift]

My island is simple..but it’s stuck at 4 stars because of it

[sly stream]

ooh i got an idea

[woven drift]

And I don’t like crowded areas 😂

[barren karma]

the terracotta reminds me of the old markets in spain when i was little

[sinful drift]

Can any1 help judge my island? I feel really stuck rn ://

[barren karma]

its what i used in my last town

[sly stream]

i’ll do terra cotta but create a transparent path to go on top of it

[barren karma]

yes!!

[indigo sierra]

What does putting a transparent path over it do?

[tawny glacier]

@indigo sierra makes it show up on the map

[sinful drift]

It leaves whatever under it there

[sly stream]

like this

[tawny glacier]

custom paths dont show up on the map so putting stuff under them makes your map look better

[deep saffron]

It makes it slightly transparent over the normal path,
And takes the path’s shape

[sly stream]

the petals are transparent so u still see the stone path

[woven drift]

@languid shadow sorry for the ping but what’s the app called?/website

[upbeat zodiac]

creating a water heavy layout

[ivory folio]

how does my entrance look so far?

[mellow trout]

Please help me clean my island for 15k

[bold creek]

i wanna try that but i would ruin all the water xD

[woven drift]

Are diagonal waterfalls impossible?

[sly stream]

it looks so cute!!!

[barren karma]

toyo! do you mind if i take a little bit of inspo? thats so cute!

[sly stream]

diagonal waterfalls are impossible as of right now 😔

[ivory folio]

I dont mind, go ahead!

[heavy summit]

[slim raptor]

Anyone made any hidden beach areas ? Send pics pls 😌😌
