[tacit tree]

i thought it was wednesday

[junior berry]

@fickle ivy i wish dream suite was still a thing

[fickle ivy]

@junior berry omg yes

[scenic blaze]

i hope we get dream suite in an update

[woven drift]

Maybe in an update

[scenic blaze]

i have hope since they gave us leif

[woven drift]

These “free” updates are really just cut content from the game

Let’s be real

[meager warren]

at least theyre free

[woven drift]

I’d break the game if they weren’t

[junior berry]

I think if leif was dlc there would be riots lol

Paid dlc*

[meager warren]

ngl id still buy it

[scenic blaze]

i honestly like the features being added in content updates, it gives me something to look forward to once i get comfortable with what we have

[shell tiger]

I prefer these updates instead of all at once

Id get bored quicker I think

[tacit tree]

me too

[junior berry]

@scenic blaze what i also like is that people who time travel cant spoil things

[woven drift]

I’d prefer new updates with new stuff than using old content as new content

[wispy wolf]

With the expansion of the art gallery to the museum, is the museum still 7x4 ?? Thanks!

[scenic blaze]

museum stays the same size

[tacit tree]

@woven drift Ya I think new things would be funner because nobody has seen it yet

[fathom sonnet]

@woven drift villager houses are 4x4

[shell tiger]

still feels new for people that have not played NL tho

[woven drift]

They are that was a typo

[scenic blaze]

that image is wrong lol

[wispy wolf]

museum stays the same size
@scenic blaze Thanks!

[scenic blaze]

yw!

[woven drift]

I didn’t do the tests myself don’t blame me I’m just the messenger

[scenic blaze]

i'm just saying the info is wrong so you know not to use it

[fathom sonnet]

@woven drift museum is 7x4

[woven drift]

4? Not sure about that

[scenic blaze]

ables and the museum are both wrong on that image

[shell tiger]

7 x 4

[scenic blaze]

they are 5x4 ables and 7x4 museum

[woven drift]

Can I say a joke?

[rough heath]

placed all my villagers in one side and now I am filled with regret

[unique pond]

which kind of fruit tree would grow in a coastal cliff area? anyone know? i'm thinking oranges but not so sure

[scenic blaze]

<@&494448231036747777> can we tell this user to not make sexist jokes please

[fathom sonnet]

Gender doesnt matter @woven drift

[tacit tree]

A woman made these calculations
@woven drift Excuse me?

[woven drift]

Just a joke written by a girl

[scenic blaze]

thanks katt!

[dreamy hedge]

anyone know if you can terraform near the beach?

[outer onyx]

Yes, well it is seen as sexist. Doesn't matter who wrote them.

[woven drift]

😑

Is that the real katt

[tacit tree]

@dreamy hedge you can not change the beach

[dreamy hedge]

I really want to build a pier/floor area near my beach but can't figure out how

[woven drift]

Like the villager katt

[fathom sonnet]

Get this troll out of here

[dreamy hedge]

@tacit tree thanks

[buoyant otter]

Please, drop the topic.

[tacit tree]

yep!

[shell tiger]

@scenic blaze How is your island going? almost time for me to visit yours? 😄

[scenic blaze]

[fathom sonnet]

Which house looks better?

[scenic blaze]

it's getting there lol but there's a lot that's still undeveloped and/or used as a dumping ground when i have to move hybrids

so i want to get it into a slightly better place before i release the dodo code lmao

[mossy dragon]

Hello does anyone have a dodo southern hemisphere code for me

[scenic blaze]

go to #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales

[tacit tree]

@fathom sonnet the one on the left

[scenic blaze]

pain i actually like both fences because right now they match the aesthetic of each house

[tacit tree]

yes, that is true

[fathom sonnet]

Yea I was thinking of matching each fence the specific house type right now everyone just has the left type

[scenic blaze]

i like that idea! if you go with it, share more pics!

[fathom sonnet]

Picture will follow soon! Also need to find the matching flowers/outside furniture for them

[versed wadi]

My updated map (I've also fixed the NSFW Path leading to my house 😆 ) .

[unique pond]

My updated map (I've also fixed the NSFW Path leading to my house 😆 ) .
@versed wadi never realised the nsfw bit! haha

[scenic blaze]

mcgibbon: if i get visitors i have to wall off the left side of my island
also mcgibbon: has this as the left side of his island

[versed wadi]

It's mainly the red bit on the map that's a mess

I moved people out into the woods and now my slums have become a ghost town.

and now my museum just sits there awkwardly

[unique pond]

ahhh slums! what an excellent theme idea hahaha

[scenic blaze]

i saw a cool post on reddit a week or so back of someone who made a run-down house plot using stone walls and stuff to imitate a destroyed house

maybe an idea for your slums lol

[unique pond]

ah im not that creative.. would just drop trash bags everywhere hahaha

[tacit tree]

Omg @versed wadi how much can i pay to come there?

[odd creek]

Got this big space empty any ideas as I’ve got a flower farm, waterfall, park , and shrine and graveyard but can’t think of anything else

[lusty thorn]

I saw a cute boardwalk area someone made

[tacit tree]

@odd creek dog park, murder scene, normal park, market, diner, mini amusement park, i can send you pictures of what i have done to fill in spaces later.

[lusty thorn]

Murder scene!?

[thick forge]

@odd creek pool park

[tacit tree]

ya someone is doing a spook island that has a murder scene

[lusty thorn]

nice hahaha

am spookd

[versed wadi]

@lusty thorn pls share it. I’m thinking of going boardwalk to the left of the museum

[true patrol]

Whats the site where you can design the layout before you start terraforming?

[odd creek]

Thank you for all the ideas guys I’ve got an idea now of what I can do

[lusty thorn]

I will ask my friend for pics!

[thick forge]

@odd creek what is it?

[tacit tree]

happy island designer?

[gusty socket]

Do you guys know where to look for neighborhood ideas? For some reason I'm having a hard time time find some

[tacit tree]

@true patrol https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/ I think this is what you want

[odd creek]

@thick forge The murder scene made me think of a suggestion I got a couple of days ago a occult summoning area 😂

[thick forge]

@gusty socket come up with one you’re creative!

[split leaf]

my residents service building is like a foot right in front of my entrance... i have no idea how to make that work or what to do with it.

[gusty socket]

Oof, I'm trying lol

[lusty thorn]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/g1ic9o/my_boardwalk_is_finished/ I think this is the person who made the boardwalk pattern!

[split leaf]

can i see what you guys did with yours if it’s that close too?

[thick forge]

@split leaf you missed up with the island choice

[lusty thorn]

askin my friend for pics of what she did with it but she's at work

[true patrol]

@tacit tree ty!

[trim briar]

working on something, the big incline in the back might be shrunk a bit so there is more space but this is just a idea

[strange tide]

Do any of you guys have organized flower fields? Can I see how you’re keeping your flowers organized for breeding hybrids while still having a pretty town lol

[tawny glacier]

good morning everyone, nothing like starting the day with flaming hot ramen to burn my tastebuds awake

[lusty thorn]

Oh, me too, I want to see cute flower gardens

[torpid vine]

@thick zinc https://imgur.com/t/animal_crossing/s0XWnPz

[trim briar]

i just don’t really like the river layout for it

[willow elm]

Question going for a nice city looks on the main land but idk what to put hereto finilize it a pink stone path? Idk

[tacit tree]

@lusty thorn omg the end of the boardwalk

[lusty thorn]

i died lol

i was like oh this is wholesome...wait a minute

[tacit tree]

lmao

[willow elm]

I asked someone to make me a custom path but i was pretty vague and wanna be more Pacific to help them and make it easier

[split leaf]

i’m debating just starting my island all over again ... the only thing preventing me is that i finally have all the fruits.

[tawny glacier]

@split leaf you mean wiping save data or terraforming flat?

[split leaf]

i keep trying to tell myself to just work with what i have & be patient with it

i mean wiping it clean

[tawny glacier]

let me see your island layout

[tacit tree]

I wanted to but there are other people on my island

[split leaf]

ehhh no. i’m too ashamed lmao

[tawny glacier]

dont worry

my first one sucked terribly, it cant be worse than my first one

[split leaf]

i get started on a section and don’t finish and try doing something different and it just doesn’t work out.

[tawny glacier]

just know @split leaf every time you break something down, you understand the game a bit more, the first step to your island is establishing a theme

[tacit tree]

everyone in home designs has the ironwood stuff, how do they get it???

[split leaf]

it’s honestly just with my residents service building being directly in the front of the entrance.

[tawny glacier]

i made my theme based off of the two things i like most in this game, natural islands, and city islands

[jagged warren]

I traded for my set HayHay, check Furniture-Trade

[tawny glacier]

one half is city and one half is tropical outdoors

[worthy thistle]

Guys have any ideas for my island rn it’s a shit hole

[tacit tree]

I traded for my set HayHay, check Furniture-Trade
@jagged warren but im poor

[dull scarab]

my island looks like crap but I have a lot of flowers lol

[tawny glacier]

establish a theme, and if you cant stick with one, dedicate areas of your island to each theme

so you have everything you like in one island

[tacit tree]

I don't have a theme ;-;

[jagged warren]

I started poor, and then kept trading for more and more things

[versed wadi]

@lusty thorn thanks

[jagged warren]

eventually the more you trade the more money you will make

[split leaf]

that’s a good idea.. i am wanting to just use my entrance as the ‘shopping mall’ area. just stuck not being able to be creative i guess

[jagged warren]

You can prob make a good amount of money off your items

[tacit tree]

I know just everyone wants like 10 nkt

nmt*

[jagged warren]

check the subreddit "ACTrade", a lot of people there only request tips

I got ironwood dresser from that place and it cost me 50k bells

[tawny glacier]

@split leaf first look for an entrance to your island by looking around at any pictures you see, take inspiration from them and make an entrance first, when i say that as soon as you get an entrance to your island, stuff starts slowly coming together

[tacit tree]

check the subreddit "ACTrade", a lot of people there only request tips
@jagged warren do you have a link?

[versed wadi]

@tacit tree I’ll be back online in about 3hrs. I’ll open the gates then if you’re still about

[tawny glacier]

im not creative either but i managed to make an island im proud of

my first one sucked and i wiped my save data, but i came back with a greater understanding of how the game works, and now my second island is even better

[tacit tree]

@tacit tree I’ll be back online in about 3hrs. I’ll open the gates then if you’re still about
@versed wadi ok i'll keep an eye out

[split leaf]

@tawny glacier well looks like i’m spending today on making my entrance then, lol. thank you for your tips🤗

[tawny glacier]

@split leaf np!

[fringe tinsel]

What are some ideas you guys have for little areas and also just little things and detailing tips

[mossy bolt]

Idk what i'm doing hahaha I think i could more efficiently use some spaces but.. i also wanted 3 level waterfalls haha

[sly stream]

how does this look??

[fringe tinsel]

good

[woven drift]

looks nice

[rocky bridge]

Anyone have a nice looking flower garden?

[split leaf]

i wished we could sit the building on pathways without the paths disappearing 🙃

[tawny glacier]

i hate how you can sweep away custom patterns when not even in island designer

its such a dumb mechanic

[split leaf]

yes it is!

[tawny glacier]

literally just picking up something off the ground and then i sweep away my asphalt and got to put it back again

[charred jolt]

I have a sort of housing complex

[split leaf]

i try not to get too butthurt ab some of the stuff bc i know the game is for such a wide span of ages 😣

[charred jolt]

But two houses will be left out and idk where to put them

[tawny glacier]

well not all these mechanics are made that way for different age ranges, i just think it is stupid

[split leaf]

lol i know, u right

[tawny glacier]

just some dude at the design table who was missing a few screws

[willow elm]

@sly stream maybe add some fence?

[silver crescent]

I wish wish wish wish wish you could move the plaza and river mouths... my plaza is literally right up against my airport so I can't have a nice entrance leading onto my island...

[tawny glacier]

@silver crescent i literally wiped my old save for that exact reason

[woven drift]

200k for layout counseling 😂😂 Im stuck

[sly stream]

@willow elm i added bamboo trees and bushes in the back

[woven drift]

Am I the only one who don't like the river mouths aha I've done so many tiny river, don't know how I'm gonna fish 🤔

[silver crescent]

@tawny glacier I've only just realised it's a problem and I really can't bring myself to start over... so much work has already gone into the game :/

[tawny glacier]

@silver crescent i had 2 weeks put into my old island and i had no regrets lol, i was actually excited

[silver crescent]

@tawny glacier I think it would just shatter my soul haha

[boreal solstice]

i found a screenshot of my very first layout and i miss that 😭 simpler times before terraforming

[north saddle]

ah yes

[tawny glacier]

@boreal solstice my island is still my basic layout lol, i only terraform here and there

[willow elm]

@boreal solstice whats it look like now lol

[boreal solstice]

TRASH

[north saddle]

back then when it was still a deserted island

when people werent making actual museum tier islands and we were all satisfied with what we had planned

[boreal solstice]

this is the layout now and im moving everything i can change my river back to the original design 🤧

[north saddle]

now its just the mood of "damnbro my island looks like shit" 😔

[fringe tinsel]

I have so much empty space that I have no clue what to do with

[silver crescent]

@north saddle THIS 100000 times over. If I'd never seen how lovely other people's islands were I'd probably be proper chuffed with mine... wouldn't have even given a second thought to my resident services being right up net to my airport...

[royal glade]

Does any have a tile size of every building?

[ornate jetty]

@boreal solstice tbh ur original river was easier to contour. should have worked around it... not alter...

[boreal solstice]

@ornate jetty thats what im saying! 😭 but i was young and dumb a month ago and thought straight rivers looked cool

[ornate jetty]

this is mine as an example

river was smoothen for jaggeds

so it has a good s bend

[cerulean belfry]

Did I spend hours making a non-functional hockey rink? Yes.

[boreal solstice]

im giving myself a headache just trying to figure out how to curve the river

[cerulean belfry]

Wait I like this view better

[tawny glacier]

natural island gang wya

[signal shard]

i think marshal likes my entrance

[tawny glacier]

OMG

[cerulean belfry]

The mush

[tawny glacier]

THE MUSH LAMPS

[tacit tree]

where'd you get the mush lamps from?

[cerulean belfry]

Ugh I want the diy so bad

[ornate jetty]

@woven drift good river banking, i only see c4 and c5 needing work to make a good fork and thats it

[signal shard]

where'd you get the mush lamps from?
@tacit tree crafted them myself =)

[willow elm]

@signal shard please tell me how you get them are they random? Or do you get them during fall

[cerulean belfry]

I like the palm tree design better, but mush lamps are superior because they’re not an obnoxious 1.5 space by 1.5 like the palm tree lamps

[tawny glacier]

@willow elm they are a recipe in november i believe

[signal shard]

@willow elm i tt’ed to november (fall for northern hemi) and farmed balloons until i got the mush recipes

[cerulean belfry]

Like why can’t they just be 1 space

[ornate jetty]

@tawny glacier South Gang yeeeeeeet

[tacit tree]

I don't wanna time travel 😦

[signal shard]

understandable and valid

[ornate jetty]

we get em in 5 days

[royal dock]

@tacit tree dont worry I dont TT either, they sell them in furnature trade

[cerulean belfry]

@signal shard how do you recommend doing it? When I triad all I got was cockroaches and like 1,00,000 weeds

[versed wadi]

Am I the only one who don't like the river mouths aha I've done so many tiny river, don't know how I'm gonna fish 🤔
@woven drift What's that big birch log called?

[tacit tree]

Ima have to look

[ornate jetty]

@cerulean belfry if u wanna do that get a switch lite for ur south island

[signal shard]

@signal shard how do you recommend doing it? When I triad all I got was cockroaches and like 1,00,000 weeds
@cerulean belfry theres a trick somewhere for getting lots of balloons, i’ll dm it to you

[cerulean belfry]

Thanks

[woven drift]

@versed wadi Can't tell you, I'm French sorry ^^

[willow elm]

@signal shard mind sharing with me to T.T

[signal shard]

sure one sec

[white valley]

If I can get help on figuring out how to add a river to the opening?

[willow elm]

Also how do you get garden cart?

[patent sky]

@versed wadi wild log bench it's a DIY

[dawn plover]

poopoo that’s amazing

[ornate jetty]

@willow elm diy

[versed wadi]

@woven drift no worries. thanks for sharing that image. I love it. It's giving me some fresh ideas for my park area!

[eternal pawn]

I connected the museum and secret beach with a double staircase!

[willow elm]

@ornate jetty ik which season is it?

[ornate jetty]

@willow elm any

[versed wadi]

@patent sky thank you!

[patent sky]

Good morning btw

[woven drift]

@versed wadi that's so nice thank you!

[patent sky]

Do I get to see your island today?

[tacit tree]

i know its not for this channel but is fake art even worth anything?

[patent sky]

You can put fake art up guilt free

[errant moss]

I finally unlocked terraforming and I've been playing around on Happy Island Designer trying to come up with a new layout. So far I have a concert hall, a skywatching area in addition to all the standards (campsite, museum, residential area and orchards). Any other ideas of what sort of outside area I can make?

[charred jolt]

Can I see y’alls entrances

[tacit tree]

my enterence is just stalls

[woven drift]

@tacit tree Personally fake art or real, I find them absolutely gorgeous

[charred jolt]

Idc

[tacit tree]

entrance*

[versed wadi]

Do I get to see your island today?
@patent sky I thought the plan was for me to visit yours 😉

[patent sky]

You can visit after I fix an area my sleepy self properly screwed up last night haha

[tacit tree]

Ok I have to write 500 words now goodbye

[cerulean belfry]

@willow elm if you have the mats I can make you as many garden carts as you want

[patent sky]

Also I can make the log thing for you @versed wadi

If you want it

[versed wadi]

I'm just on Nookazon now ordering the recipe 🙂

[patent sky]

Exhausted + water tool !== good choices

[versed wadi]

Are you a developer?

[tight fog]

So is a terraforming map designer possibly in the works? Designing in real-time is life-sapping.

[signal shard]

^ this !!! took me like more than 3 hours just to finish my entrance

[rigid glade]

that sounds like a good idea tbh cause terraforming can be such a pain sometimes

[junior berry]

@woven drift the fake informative statue is ugly though lol

[signal shard]

also wish you could move around items outside like how you can move them around in your house

[tight fog]

Mutual.

[tight fog]

Time-saving game UI is critical for games that have long replay value.

[violet needle]

If I move a building, place a path underneath, and then move it back, will the path stay underneath or be destroyed ?

[versed wadi]

destroyed

[woven drift]

@junior berry I totally revoke what I said aha

[signal shard]

destroyed, found out the hard way lmao hate it, i hate seeing the tiny grass outline

[weak canyon]

IS THERE ANYWAY TO FIX THIS 😩

[versed wadi]

@tight fog Time wasting UI is kinda Animal Crossing's USP

[violet needle]

Is there any way to get a path underneath a building at all?

[ripe badger]

only the doorway

[versed wadi]

Is there any way to get a path underneath a building at all?
@violet needle you can sort of tuck in at the front

[junior berry]

And also not with the museum

[neat ermine]

Alright boys, looking to remodel the island, where do I start?

[woven drift]

can you put furniture in other resident houses?

[unique talon]

I would try to get all of the villagers together ish. Get them into the same general area @neat ermine

[junior berry]

@woven drift you can give it to the@

[raw night]

do u guys think they will let us move the town hall in a future update -_- i hate the position of mine in my island

[junior berry]

Could you guys help me with the bottom beach thingy? 🥺

Sorry for the shite video lmao

[woven drift]

@raw night to be honest I hate the building in itself

can shrubs go directly on top of waterfalls? does anyone know yet 👀

[velvet plinth]

It's insanely frustrating that you're so restricted with the building tool.

Why can't I make sheer cliff walls.
Why do they HAVE to be 2 tiered.

You try to build on a cliff side to make it even but nope can't do that either. Has to be one square of the lower level.

[true flame]

yes I think so

[velvet plinth]

@woven drift
Yes I believe they grow everywhere except the beach. Even in 1x1 tiles next to bridges and water

[woven drift]

tyyy

[ripe badger]

constraints are a natural foundational element when it comes to creativity.. i don't get what all the fuss is about

[viral spindle]

i need a bigger island

[ripe badger]

actually if you think about it, constraints force you to think and to be more creative

embrace it?

[patent sky]

@versed wadi yes haha and all my personal projects are AC related rn

[boreal patrol]

True

[stone magnet]

@junior berry you could add a wood stool next to sun beds with drinks on them ?

[patent sky]

I've come to the conclusion that planting 40 bushes arbitrarily was a bad idea

[boreal patrol]

At least u can dig em

[stone magnet]

could I get advice or opinions? thank u

[glad monolith]

i find it weird that we can't customize resident services or put paths around it

i'm guessing it's because events happen in the plaza area?

[junior berry]

@stone magnet CUTE

[boreal patrol]

I have paths around my rs

[stone magnet]

aw thank u @junior berry

[junior berry]

Does anyone have a spare coconut drink diy for that???

[ripe badger]

@stone magnet looks cool

[stone magnet]

I don’t have a spare one but I can craft you some?

wait

[west aurora]

(ง'̀-'́)ง

[junior berry]

I’ll just go check nookazon

[boreal patrol]

@west aurora that skin is nice

[stone magnet]

@west aurora your map looks so clean and symmetrical hshdhsjhs

[wraith veldt]

Anyone have any parks to show?

[short leaf]

Do these look too close? Could I get a reasonably nice path through this gap once I place the houses?

[boreal patrol]

@short leaf looks good. I personally like to have foliage/grass/fence between different types of paths of tho

[stone magnet]

yeah

Does anyone know how many squares a house is

[short leaf]

Not sure what you mean exactly, but I fenced the surrounding area in

[terse thicket]

4 tiles @stone magnet

[stone magnet]

thank u

[boreal patrol]

@short leaf maybe I misunderstood, are you planning a path between those squares?

[stone magnet]

omg @short leaf I’ve just seen your island layout in the corner of the screen,, that is so cute omg

[short leaf]

Yes but the squares are placeholders for villager homes

[woven drift]

can someone give me on ideas on how to display gold roses?

[short leaf]

Aaaah thank you~

[boreal patrol]

@short leaf oh yeah, should look good then

[stone magnet]

you could put them around ur favourite villagers house

[junior berry]

@woven drift ive always liked a white-gold combo so maybe put white flowers around them

In lil patches

[stone magnet]

oh that’s a GENIUS idea

amazing work

[woven drift]

Anyone know when we have mushrooms?

[junior berry]

@woven drift id guess during fall but i dont know exactly which dates

[terse thicket]

i believe mushrooms are in november

[woven drift]

@junior berry @terse thicket looks so far

[terse thicket]

your small park area looks great

[woven drift]

Ty !

[lethal stratus]

I didn't know about the incline limit and I feel so defeated now...over a week of work :c

[junior berry]

Big oof that sucks man

[meager seal]

Omg i just got a 3 star island

[kindred hawk]

What’s the incline limit?

[lethal stratus]

8

[junior berry]

8 for both bridges and inclines

[tacit tree]

Is that the same with bridges?

[lethal stratus]

For bridges and inclines separately

[tacit tree]

ok

[junior berry]

How do you get the books needed for the tiny library?

[visual hamlet]

alright boys, kind of stuck atm with the layout. I need to move 3 houses : my own, the one on the right beach (renee) and the one most bottom left (audie). Would keeping the moving of building towards the hill be a good idea or nah ? Cheers

[tacit tree]

Omgosh i didn't know the tiny library existed i need it so bad for my take a book leave a book area

[last vessel]

I’ll literally give 10 NMT to anybody who gets the name

[tacit tree]

Cyantine

?

idk

[last vessel]

Like where it is from lol

[tacit tree]

Quarantine?

[neat ermine]

Sudeki?

[junior berry]

I thought cyanide lol

[tacit tree]

It's anime

[opaque horizon]

How does your path to secret beach look? I'm having a hard time designing a path with inclines to the beach. Could use some inspo!

[boreal patrol]

How do you get the books needed for the tiny library?
@junior berry
Nooks sell the sometimes

[neat ermine]

These are my planned edits, any other ideas?

[terse thicket]

where do u even find a library or bookshelves diy recipe?

[frail saffron]

It's from Sudeki right

[tacit tree]

Cyantine is an anime i believe

[neat ermine]

I guessed Sudeki too

[frail saffron]

I legit just googled it lmao

[tacit tree]

idk anything about anime though

[neat ermine]

oof

[meager seal]

i dont really have any ugly villagers

[cerulean belfry]

Has anyone else been using the starts instead of the hedges as fencing cause they just look nicer imo

[last vessel]

Nope not sudeki, had to look that up too lol

[cerulean belfry]

@neat ermine why do you have so many residents?!

[neat ermine]

Because shut up

[tacit tree]

syantine supplemnet

cyantine*

cyantine shampoo

[cerulean belfry]

Bruh I just want to know if there’s a cool way of using the extra houses but ok.

BeCaUsE ShUt Up

[frail saffron]

ughhh idk what to do for my island im trying to set it up

[cerulean belfry]

You should make a hockey rink! @frail saffron

[boreal patrol]

Watch YouTube vids for inspo @frail saffron

[patent sky]

@frail saffron make it the ideal place where u wanna live

[tacit tree]

[granite hemlock]

[tacit tree]

I know there's a candy machine but like for a candy land

[granite hemlock]

here's my entrance! any tips to make it better?

[prime falcon]

Marina has candy looking floor and walls. I have an ice cream lamp.

[woven drift]

it looks super cute already

[granite hemlock]

thank uu

[ripe badger]

@granite hemlock where did u get that idea from

[scenic blaze]

it does look really cute!!

[hexed yarrow]

@granite hemlock My only suggestion would be to find a custom path that has better edges (:

[scenic blaze]

maybe add some little lights in the blank spots on the hills?

[granite hemlock]

@ripe badger pinterest

@hexed yarrow thanks!

@scenic blaze ooh i'll do that!

[versed wadi]

@granite hemlock your entrance is looking good!

[boreal patrol]

@hexed yarrow can u do a close up pic of your layout? Looks good.

[royal notch]

Made Rowan a lil home gym today 😌 looking dapper in his rain outfit too lmao

[scenic blaze]

aww i have rowan too ❤️ gotta treat our boy well

very magical, shin!

[hexed yarrow]

Yeah sure @boreal patrol

[royal notch]

💪

[woven drift]

[autumn wedge]

Looks good!

[boreal patrol]

Thanks @hexed yarrow inspo

[granite hemlock]

@versed wadi thanks! means a lot :))

[autumn wedge]

Ehm quick question, can I place an incline right next to a building or do I need 1 space free

[hexed yarrow]

It took a while. I can open my gates if you want to check it out. @boreal patrol

[autumn wedge]

I want to put an incline to the right of able sisters

[visual hamlet]

any tips on where to move the next remaining houses lads, to the hills we go or more compact ? (talking about the house bottom left & the one on beach)

[boreal patrol]

@hexed yarrow I'll dm u and come later if ur on. I'm working. I play while I work but hard to focus on game.

[true plover]

thats so cute ! ^^

[woven drift]

it’s awesome !!

[terse thicket]

hey this is my outdoor cafe it is very much still a work in progress
any tips on how to make it better would be appreciated :)

[true plover]

i just started new horizons yesterday, but im so excited to properly design my island ! 🙂

[woven drift]

oh it looks cute !! lights and plants would look super nice

[hexed yarrow]

@terse thicket maybe a fountain?

[true plover]

yes i agree! lots of lights make for a cosy café 🙂

[flint zinc]

can someone send me a pic of their breeding garden

[neat ermine]

Alright, made some adjustments, what should I add/change now?

[random crystal]

My entire island was my breeding garden ngl

[shrewd maple]

@visual hamlet maybe keep the house on the bottom left but move it more towards the left to line up w your other villagers and then move the house on the beach right above the nooks cranny between the 2 houses

[random crystal]

It got out of control

[flint zinc]

hehe

[true plover]

@neat ermine I love it!

[woven drift]

@terse thicket maybe add some patterns on the wood thing

[terse thicket]

@woven drift @true plover im considering garden lanterns thank you! :)

[true plover]

sounds great: )

[terse thicket]

@hexed yarrow that is a very good idea i might go with that thanks :)

oh patterns sound great too

like a transparent design ?

[woven drift]

i used Sable patterns on mine

[terse thicket]

u can use sable patterns on the ground?

[woven drift]

oh sorry i meant the thing made with wood where you put the microwave !

english not my native idk how it’s called haha

Could anybody show me a picture of what they have for walkways and paths in front of each of their villagers houses

[terse thicket]

oh definitely, i plan on decorating that but nook's cranny is closed so i need to wait till tomorrow to buy the customisation kits

thank you very much for ur help :)

[woven drift]

hmm

[terse thicket]

that looks very pretty!!!

[woven drift]

thank you !

[random crystal]

Is that marshals house

[woven drift]

no it’s Rosie

[random crystal]

Omg they have the same style house

[hexed yarrow]

Featuring Genji in the back lol

[frail saffron]

in total, how much space should I leave per villager house

[pine turtle]

Oof, I'm flailing at my entire map.. I feel like some parts I designed I want to un-design but am not sure what my end goal is... can you import your current map into any of the current planner sites/programs/apps/whatnot? What's a painless way to get some sort of blank slate without resetting? ;P

[light pumice]

can someone send me a pic of their breeding garden
@flint zinc

[frail saffron]

HappyIslandDesigner is online use that

[pine turtle]

Does it have an import feature now?

[frail saffron]

yeah

[boreal solstice]

i had no idea it was so hard to make curved rivers and im stressed lmao

[scenic blaze]

the water tool is a pain

[pine turtle]

@frail saffron I didn't know it finally added one! thank you

[frail saffron]

np!

[pine turtle]

also, how much space do people generally allot for breeding flowers? how do I make it not take over the whole island? 😉

[novel pebble]

^^^

[silver crescent]

@frail saffron as in I ca important my island onto the designer? or just import previous designs?

[rugged goblet]

I have 1 row around most buildings and plots and I plant two and leave 1 space between them along these

[frail saffron]

@silver crescent you take a picture of your map and then use the import promp to select where your grass is

[silver crescent]

Oh that's neat, will have a look

[random crystal]

Flowers are more contained than previous picture made it seem

[severe falcon]

Where do I find mcgibbons map then the famous double south map. Mine looks pretty great and I wanna see his

[mystic bolt]

Now that Redd is here, the beach looks so so good. Im so happy how it turned out

[visual hamlet]

@shrewd maple thanks for the tips, appreciate it, i think it could work quite well ! 😄

[analog swan]

Come to my island and trade put one ideam down and pick one up that's all I ask

[visual hamlet]

@severe falcon who? 👀

[reef wasp]

does anyone have tips for how big to make a yard for your villagers?

[boreal solstice]

i made each side of the yards 4x4 just so theres room for decorations

[uncut cedar]

This is at the end of a giant shrubbery maze in making. Any thoughts on what I should put in it? I was thinking maybe do el dorado style with lots of gold or something or maybe basic garden

[reef wasp]

one on each side?

[deep spear]

depends how much furniture you want for them i guess

[boreal solstice]

ye but then you end up with something like this lmao and it takes up one giant section

[scenic blaze]

@severe falcon if you search "in:island-layouts from:mcgibbon" he posted one today

[reef wasp]

im struggling because i had a layout but then i realized there is not nearly enough room for yards so now im like. figuring stuff out i guess

@ bean i might try that cuz i do like how that looks

i can send pics of my layout but its a giant MESS rn

[boreal solstice]

yeah its pretty nice! theres room for fences and other decor

[sonic kernel]

My favorite area on my island so far

[woven drift]

My favorite area on my island so far
@sonic kernel looks nice

[scenic blaze]

that looks great!

[stiff scroll]

I like the UFO. Nice touch

[mystic bolt]

I wanna get a ufo too and hide it somewhere on the island

[deft stump]

can anyone make me a layout?? ill pay up to 5 million bells if i like it!!

[scenic blaze]

stalking your minimap in the corner - what's your res area look like? i like that it's a little uneven

[random crystal]

“If I like it”

[mystic bolt]

how exactly would someone make a layout for you? How we know you’re not gonna grab the layout and then just boot us when its done?

[woven drift]

can anyone make me a layout?? ill pay up to 5 million bells if i like it!!
@deft stump dude play the game. why will you have someone else do it for you?

[mystic bolt]

Red matches the nook shop

[woven drift]

Red

[junior berry]

Damn i do be in the minority doe

[uneven lark]

Thoughts and criticism on my layout?

[pearl palm]

Bottom is going to change

[scenic blaze]

can you send the bigger map pic instead of the minimap?

[deft stump]

i would scam lol i have 111mill and all i usually do anyways is give bells to my friends:)) im just not happy with how my island looks and am not very artistic so i dont know where to start

[versed wadi]

@uneven lark whose house is that?

[random crystal]

I like the plain brown bridge

[junior berry]

@versed wadi i was wondering the same lol

[uneven lark]

@versed wadi lymans the green koala dude

[versed wadi]

I’m ripping out the red bridge on my island tonight

[woven drift]

i would scam lol i have 111mill and all i usually do anyways is give bells to my friends:)) im just not happy with how my island looks and am not very artistic so i dont know where to start
@deft stump ebay ftw

[versed wadi]

Thx

[junior berry]

Imagine voluntarily making animal crossing a microtransaction game

Couldnt be me

[deft stump]

i mean not scam oops typed it wrong:)) nope didnt use ebay lol i sold raymond last night to someone for 100mill!! i dont care what villagers i have i usually just try to find one that people want and give it to them!!

[nova vale]

anyone have any ideas for a center piece to walk into on my island from the airport. I have zero outdoor inspiration left. I have currently a little market, a gym, a diner, 2 parks and a whole lotta empty space left

ps my brain is hella broken and everything has to be ''squares'

[junior berry]

Any ideas for the restaurant lads

[tawdry topaz]

can you plant a tree next to 1 block high wall?

[scenic blaze]

no

[woven drift]

Any ideas for the restaurant lads
@junior berry some lights?

[tawdry topaz]

what about wall?

[junior berry]

I mean yeah lol

[scenic blaze]

if you mean cliff, no. if you mean fence, yes

[tawdry topaz]

oki

[random crystal]

I’m trying to figure out how to dress up a fountain for a centerpiece

[tawdry topaz]

what if I turn cliff into water?

[random crystal]

Water won’t work either

[tawdry topaz]

aw oki

[scenic blaze]

grown trees need one space all around

[tawdry topaz]

ye so I guess wall is not 1 space

[random crystal]

I wish we could put bamboo on the water edge at least

[tawdry topaz]

its like half

[junior berry]

@random crystal that looks cool!!

[shrewd maple]

Custom paths would look good near a fountain

[junior berry]

Does anyone have this in grey that i could come catalogue real quick lol

[finite cargo]

Wait how do I get more simple woodden fencing? I cant find a diy for it??

[kindred yarrow]

Anyone have any inspo for an outdoor crafting area?

[scenic blaze]

you gotta buy the DIY from the rotating fences at the nook stop

[shrewd maple]

Get a diy from the nook machine or find it on recipe trade channel

[finite cargo]

@scenic blaze is it weird tho that Ive NEVER seen it there??

I have al other fencing diy

[novel carbon]

um mistakes were made

[scenic blaze]

after playing since launch i have only ever seen the corral fence once, and that was today and i snatched it up immediately

so i think it's possible you're unlucky like me lol

[mortal marlin]

could i get some help to spice this area up?

[finite cargo]

Dang that sucks. Thanks tho!

[scenic blaze]

@kindred yarrow my fav tip for my outdoor crafting area is to customize the cushion item and use a lot of them

[kindred yarrow]

Like using cushions to place your items?

[deep spear]

i use tool carts and shelf for the area

[reef wasp]

i saw someone use log benches for the "tables"

[scenic blaze]

oh wait i'm dumb i thought you meant like "arts and crafts"

[loud root]

Testing out some ideas^^
What do you think?

[scenic blaze]

logging out of discord 4evr bye

[dim geyser]

im gonna cry i ran out of custom spots

[reef wasp]

theres a limit???

[deep spear]

i think its 40

[mortal marlin]

@loud root maybe try putting down some custom paths

[reef wasp]

wait whats the difference

OH in ur custom design inventory i get it

[dim geyser]

yes hehe

[reef wasp]

sorry misunderstood lol

[dim geyser]

i have to use the same stone path for everything

[reef wasp]

if i send pics of my ugly layout can someone help me out with where i should put my houses cuz im really struggling

[dim geyser]

that is so cute

[reef wasp]

i cant rn cuz im "in class" but it has been the bane of my existence

also i really like that wow

[versed wadi]

I forget how much better this game looks docked!

[scenic blaze]

i love playing docked but then i have to type something and cry

[finite cargo]

playing on a tv is so much better

mothra that's why none of my twitter pics have captions lmao

[dim geyser]

i use the app

[scenic blaze]

app doesn't work for letters and stuff though

[finite cargo]

^

[mortal marlin]

my joycon drift is so bad and my brother broke my tv so i can’t play docked

[fading pagoda]

Is there ANYTHING I can do to decorate the sides of pillars? aside from placing waterfalls

[reef wasp]

flowers?

[random crystal]

Bushes

[scenic blaze]

flowers, pathing, bushes, one-tile items, mix of all these

[fading pagoda]

The brown part

[mortal marlin]

bushes or hedges would work nice

[fading pagoda]

Not the grass

[scenic blaze]

oh lol no

[fading pagoda]

I can't place a painting? Wall items?

[random crystal]

Simple panels in front of them?

[scenic blaze]

put stuff in front of it if there's room, otherwise you're stuck with it

[finite cargo]

nope

[fading pagoda]

I wanna cry... :(

[granite hemlock]

[pearl palm]

Going to shift the six houses in bottom left to a lore organized neighborhood but trying to decide if I should move all ten houses and mine up there

[young summit]

how do i create a crescent moon pond? pls help

[granite hemlock]

i'm looking for the wooden panels that u can put custom designs on and log stakes but i can't find anyone selling them :((

[kindred yarrow]

Use an invisible pattern after you're done too so you can prevent spawning of flowers

[reef wasp]

didnt know that wsa a thing lol

[kindred yarrow]

And you buy it in Nooks

[reef wasp]

huh wow

[mortal marlin]

@deft stump do you need any help with the flowers?

[pearl palm]

Shopping center is starting to come together

[subtle idol]

i really wish i had enough bells to move around houses. i really want an entrance and i need to put my houses at front in the resident area

[slender jewel]

🙂

[deft stump]

@deft stump do you need any help with the flowers?
@mortal marlin yeah do you happen to have a trash can or something?? i can pay you

[versed wadi]

YOU CAN USE THE TRASH CANS?

[mortal marlin]

@mortal marlin ok i have a dodo code rn if you want it!!

[mortal marlin]

[kindred yarrow]

I found Molly on a Mystery Island and I'm tryna think of a good theme for outside her house. Ideas?

[deft stump]

my dodo code is J6KCS (i honestly dont care who else come!!) if anyone also wants beau you can come pick her up for free!!

[kindred yarrow]

Ugh if I had a spot open I'd jump on that lol

[finite cargo]

beau is a boy, no?

[deft stump]

idk lol

[prime falcon]

I already have Beau, but if I could I'd have him twice!

[scenic blaze]

beau is a boy

[boreal meteor]

Is anyone else doing a creepy theme? I'm trying to find more diys and items to add to my island. Its kind of a haunted old japanese aesthetic? Lemme know if you have suggestions!

[mortal marlin]

ill snag beau

[deep spear]

black imperial maybe

[scenic blaze]

do you have the stone lion dog?

[granite hemlock]

@scenic blaze can i come visit ur island for inspiration? it's okay if not

[boreal meteor]

I do! And ooh black imperial is a good idea. Trying to stay more zen but i could add some of that 👀

[kindred yarrow]

@boreal meteor Have you tried dolls? I know custom patterns can help too.

[deft stump]

i also have a lot of diy if anyone wants to come look. plz just be respectful and dont take all:))

[boreal meteor]

Ooh i don’t have dolls yet. Good idea 0:

[scenic blaze]

@granite hemlock i might open up later, i'm currently working so i'm not doing online play rn

[granite hemlock]

@scenic blaze that's okayy

[deep spear]

the throwback skull radios too

[mortal marlin]

@deft stump i got rid of a bunch of flowers yesterday, got payed a lot for it

[scenic blaze]

tall garden rock is also a great item for a spooky theme

[prime falcon]

I keep finding throwback gothic mirrors in balloons

[deep spear]

yeah i hope they add more gothic stuff

[naive crag]

Hey i know this isnt an "island" layout, but any idea of good furniture to display fossils on out in the open?

[lament wing]

Hey, y'all. So I made my island completely bare but now I have no idea where to start. I'm not particularly visually artistic so I'm struggling to think of any layout. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I should start or what would look good?

[scenic blaze]

stone stools are cute for the little fossils

[woven drift]

i use ironwood chair

[topaz shale]

start with your rivers, i think since the inlets aren’t movable id suggest try to get a natural flowing river and then build up cliffs from there to get your mountains formed around your rivers

[pearl palm]

Going to rearrange houses in bottom left into a nice neighborhood, should I move the bottom right houses and my house there as well to make one big neighborhood?

[woven drift]

Hey guys! Looking for some entrance inspo, show me yours!

[granite hemlock]

@woven drift i'll send u mine once i do this quick trade!!

[gleaming parcel]

What do you lot think about my entrance and villager street?

[lavish garnet]

Does anybody want to come help me redesign my island? Looking for suggestions as I hate the way it loooks at the moment

[naive crag]

@scenic blaze RIGHT, thx

[woven drift]

@gleaming parcel that looks great omg

[stiff scroll]

Hello, kitty?

[woven drift]

super cute

[alpine cape]

@prime falcon when's the wine mixer?

[lament wing]

@topaz shale Thanks. When you say, "natural flowing river," what exactly do you mean?

[gleaming parcel]

@woven drift thanks 🙂 its currently the only developed part of my island

[lethal oar]

Can anyone help me with some ideas for this empty space

[alpine cape]

rave bar

[prime falcon]

I love the welcome to hold isle print on the bricks, it looks so clean

[pale cipher]

my entrance

[woven drift]

cute

[topaz shale]

@lament wing i mean like something that doesn’t look too straight try throwing in a few curves and let it wind through your island

[sly kernel]

does anyone have a code where I can get those outlines? those are cool as fuck

[gleaming parcel]

@prime falcon its Gold Isle, its a tad hard to read

[zealous sleet]

its currently 4am here i havnt slept cause ive been clearing my island and now ive realized that ive barely done
anything

[prime falcon]

@gleaming parcel I mistyped I saw it was Gold

Is that a One Piece reference?

[gleaming parcel]

@prime falcon no its just a name i thought of because of the sand

[analog coyote]

Any ideas to make this more exciting? I know I need to decorate the top layer. Would a winding path look better/be possible? Or maybe 2-3 squares wide?

[topaz shale]

@lament wing this is what my rivers look like currently and the red line is what i’m planning but of course it’s always subject to change

[lament wing]

@topaz shale Oh, yeah. That makes sense. I'm trying not to compare my island to other people's, but I just don't get visual images in my head like other people who got the game and were like, "I know EXACTLY what I'm doing." Lol.

[analog coyote]

@pale cipher does that case fit normal switch or just the lite

[crimson slate]

i’m not sure what else to do to my outdoor cafe/live music venue, any suggestions?

[pale cipher]

@analog coyote they make one for both sizes, the one i have is for the switch

[topaz shale]

@lament wing if not just mess around on happy island designer a bit

[nocturne atlas]

@frank spade Do you have the code for that log flooring? 😄

[south plover]

Hey Could anyone help me with like landscaping rivers and ponds on my island. I just deleted everything I did because I didn't like it

[lean yarrow]

ignore the river, this is what i started doing for my houses! i made it a while ago but i think i don’t like it now :-(((( my island is really bothering me because i wish i had two south rivers.

[wind wind]

No, you don't want double south

[lament wing]

@topaz shale I would be all over the design thing but I don't have a desktop.

[frank spade]

@frank spade Do you have the code for that log flooring? 😄
@nocturne atlas MA-6537-1460-5257

[lean yarrow]

why not double southhh it seems like the best one

[wind wind]

It's the hardest one to design with, usually

[fair temple]

I see you already had your rivers planned a bit using cliffs, nice job
@crimson slate looking good so far! I'd add in a menu chalkboard and a stand, and don't forget to keep adding dishes to the tables to decorate them

[zealous sleet]

i have double south and my resident serive location is horrid

[wind wind]

Same, Tarna

[frank spade]

why not double southhh it seems like the best one
@lean yarrow I don't like double south because that's less unbroken beach that faces the camera

[broken flame]

I wish my resident services weren’t so close to my dock entrance, I have to make a mini entrance

[lean yarrow]

ohhh yea i didn’t think about that

[wind wind]

Double south severely constricts space, which is why it's so hard to work with

[lament wing]

@broken flame My service building is so close to my entrance like that too. What direction are your rivers?

[broken flame]

@lament wing south and west

[inland belfry]

ISLAND IDEAS?

[lean yarrow]

ok yeah double south isn’t good lol. also has anyone else made a “main street” area w like the shops next to each other? i want to do that but i’m waiting to see if we get any more buildings like a post office etc. bc i don’t want to have to redo things

[broken flame]

@lean yarrow yeah, I made a strictly shopping and kinda of trading/crafting area near my resident services

[lean yarrow]

that’s nice !!

[woven drift]

Anyone wants to come visit and help me out with layout ? offering lots of tips

[pale cipher]

i have double south and i love it

[light pumice]

ok yeah double south isn’t good lol. also has anyone else not made a “main street” area w like the shops next to each other? i want to do that but i’m waiting to see if we get any more buildings like a post office etc. bc i don’t want to have to redo things
@lean yarrow mine is kind of like that, I left room just incase we get one or two more shops tbh

[lean yarrow]

oh i like how you put your houses in little clusters!

[final sorrel]

does anyone have good ideas for a nature campsite

[light pumice]

[south plover]

This is what I have right now. I don't know where to add cliffs and stuff if anyone has ideas?

[meager seal]

dont ask why im trying to learn how to speak animalese

[light pumice]

it rained a lot for a couple days lmao

[fair fiber]

it bothers me alittle that the second river isnt straight like the first

[white mesa]

is the only building you can't move the airport?

[woven drift]

animaleese is just really high pitched english(or whatever your game's language is in) and gibberish in nh. in new leaf it was literally just high pitched

[final current]

Wait you can't move resident services Whaaaa ;-;

[still swan]

how do you curve paths?

[light pumice]

is the only building you can't move the airport?
@white mesa and resident services

[woven drift]

yeah its a bit sad

[white mesa]

oh ok that makes sense

[tropic bluff]

When your island map looks like this 😤

[woven drift]

how do you curve paths?
@still swan press a on the corner with the same material as the path, try using #game-help-questions❓ next time

[light pumice]

I see you too have chosen the way of many paths

[zealous sleet]

one thing i regret is putting my campsite in the very corner of the map because now that im designing my island i wanna incorporate it

[light pumice]

I put dark dirt underneath all of my flowers because it looks nice, but it turns my map into a hot mess

[tawny glacier]

anyone of yall like lillies, cuz i have tons of them lining my cliffs and i need em gawn. theres a bunch of natural hybrids scattered among them that grew because of rain just @ me if you want in

[ember kestrel]

[finite cargo]

[finite cargo]

@woven drift I had to make mine small but its cute!

[light pumice]

omfg. that's what I'm gonna do with my empty spot!! HEDGE MAZE

[granite hemlock]

i'm looking for hedges if anyone would sell me some :))

[finite cargo]

Hedge maze was my first thought when hedges were announced.

[light pumice]

I also made a graveyard, because y'know, normal island things

[finite cargo]

mine is right next to my flower shop and farmers market

rip all the villagers who were kicked out

[woven drift]

hehe im not original so i had to use a maze generator !

[meager seal]

i want katanas so bad but they are expensive as heck

[silver crescent]

part of me really thinks i should just start a new game... but then i think of all the time i put into my museum and finding the sturgeon and stringfish... and all the bunny day stuff.... and I got Zell who is my favourite villager... But I just can't stand my res services and double south rivers... could maybe start over and do a bunch of time travel?

[vivid loom]

any ideas for hw to decorate along paths ?

[light pumice]

life tip: use a transparent custom design to keep your decorative Flowers from growing all over the place every time it rains

[meager seal]

smart

[versed wadi]

@light pumice graveyards are a must. Where’s Tortimer buried otherwise?

[raven galleon]

I need ideas for my entrance! My museum is straight ahead with a fountain in front. I’m looking for very towny/cottagecore theme

[frank spade]

ok those placemats tho whred you get em??
@finite cargo what on the log table? customize option

[versed wadi]

I just demolished the bridge at my entrance. Now I’m forced to redo it.

[indigo dirge]

[analog coyote]

@sharp stump

[vast quartz]

Hi I am wondering if anyone would be willing to come over to my island and help me with layout. I have the big square done and just built a coffee shop/library and boardwalk. But I'm not sure where to go

[woven drift]

Would someone mind visiting and judging my entrance area/town hall. I'm just starting to decorate but I want to have opinions on what I have so far. Code is 9WY1M.

[sharp stump]

@sharp stump
@light pumice tysm! I’ll save for inspiration

[light pumice]

Np!

[ripe badger]

[finite cargo]

white plank imo

[foggy salmon]

the white one for sand

[scenic blaze]

white plank

[zealous sleet]

3rd one

[tepid agate]

I made a small thing for my entrance

[golden carbon]

do you guys make your paths one block wide or two? one seems too thin but i also feel like 2 takes up too much space

[woven drift]

Second one. It fits the color scheme and seems rustic. Like in a vast desert.> what’s a better ramp for a sand area?
@rocky marten

[tepid agate]

I’m not very creative

[inland terrace]

I think it’s pretty !!

[light pumice]

If anyone would like to visit my island to get ideas or give some constructive critisism, DM me! All I ask is that you try not to trample or pick the flowers c:

[rocky marten]

tysm for the opinions I couldn’t decide lmao

[woven drift]

How does this look

[frank spade]

do you guys make your paths one block wide or two? one seems too thin but i also feel like 2 takes up too much space
@golden carbon I do 2-wide

[granite hemlock]

wow everyone's islands are so good compared to mine

[scenic blaze]

my paths are two wide

[light pumice]

do you guys make your paths one block wide or two? one seems too thin but i also feel like 2 takes up too much space
@golden carbon 2 wide mostly, but depends on the area

[inland terrace]

Should I demolish and rebuild a bridge just to move it one square for the sake of symmetry

[woven drift]

Would someone mind visiting and judging my entrance area/town hall. I'm just starting to decorate but I want to have opinions on what I have so far. Code is 9WY1M.

[granite hemlock]

@woven drift i'll come!

[inland terrace]

Can I get your guys opinions on my path to the secret beach?
@fossil jetty I love that

[woven drift]

Can anyone help me by giving me ideas of what to build/make/terraform on the left side of the map? I’m not sure what to do because the weird shape of it all.

[rocky marten]

should I remodel my secret beach area for redd or leave it as is? I was thinking about making it a flat area instead of being only accessible by ladder

[ripe badger]

you guys obsessed with symmetry

[tawny comet]

@charred jolt maybe stepping stones? I like the wood look though

[frank spade]

@woven drift hhh I'd love to visit your island! The map is so enticing!

[woven drift]

you guys obsessed with symmetry
@ripe badger ikr

[ripe badger]

i like ur map @woven drift

[light pumice]

The only symmetrical part of my island is the entrance lmao

[woven drift]

@woven drift hhh I'd love to visit your island! The map is so enticing!
@frank spade there is Not much to See tho

oof same haha @light pumice

[ripe badger]

the downside of symmetrical balance is that its static and often regarded as boring

but what do i know.. im building a prison for all the animals on my island

[finite cargo]

NOT MINE but I'm about to use this for inspo

[woven drift]

FINALLY SOMEONE WITH THE SAME OPINION AS ME

[frank spade]

Meant to share this while we were still talking about campsites... I tried to make a second one

[woven drift]

[frank spade]

@finite cargo omg I love this picture. It has mad harvest moon vibes

[woven drift]

You gotta have a nice mix of symmetrical + messy

[primal shoal]

Should I keep this ladder access area and if so what should I turn it in to?

[tawdry topaz]

anyone know how to get these

[peak owl]

Do you guys know off the top of your heads what the widest a river can be to have a bridge over it? 4 or 5 units?

[ripe badger]

turn it into a graveyard

[silver crescent]

Anyone have a double south river design I can look at for inspiration?

[woven drift]

Should I keep this ladder access area and if so what should I turn it in to?
@primal shoal i had an Idea for that too. Either an Oasis with Palms or a digsite... I wanna do a library behind my House Hidden in cliffs and trees

[finite cargo]

ask about it in #custom-design-help🎨

[ripe badger]

@peak owl check pins

[woeful yoke]

@peak owl Check the pinned messages it tell you max and min spaces

[charred jolt]

Should I do it like that

[dapper ginkgo]

Omg that’s my island 😎 @tawdry topaz

[alpine locust]

i like the uneven-ness lol

[ripe badger]

cool aqueducts

[tawdry topaz]

[meager seal]

[ripe badger]

kinda racist

[charred jolt]

Segregation LMFAOO

[woven drift]

[finite cargo]

[alpine locust]

[ripe badger]

[woven drift]

Hey has anyone done mountain themed terraforming? Just looking for reference as I redesign my entire island

[charred jolt]

I hate that you can’t put cliffs directly on top of each other

[stiff scroll]

You can look at mine

[frank spade]

Why do these stupid animals always crowd around me when I’m trying to build something
@charred jolt they love you 😦

[finite cargo]

I hate that you can't connect two cliffs with a bridge

[woven drift]

^

that suspension bridge would look soooooooo good over two cliffs

[sharp stump]

I always have an itch to create waterfalls everywhere! I’m struggling! Oh my hahaja

[alpine locust]

anyone have any tips on making a terraformed entrance when the town hall is super close to the airport?? :c im so limited ;;

[woven drift]

Maybe I’m just lucky but I haven’t really run into any issues like that, maybe I’m just designing my island weirdly but I never tried the bridge thing or anything by like it

I HATE THAT WE DONT HAVE CORNER WATERFALLS THO WHY WHY WHY WHY

CORNER WATERFALLS PLS IT WOULDNT BE HARD

@swift pier #flower-plants-trade

[swift pier]

OOPS

sorry i’m blind

[woven drift]

you good fam

[zealous sleet]

@alpine locust it might sound strange but my town hall was really close to my entrance and i put a cliff right along the front of it and decorated with trees and a water fall so now when you enter it doesnt look like its there

[brazen horizon]

what should I work on after I'm done with my entrance??

[stiff scroll]

@alpine locust my entrance is pretty close to resident services

[woven drift]

I finally figured out a theme for my island I’m going for a drive by mountain look but the terraforming will be extensive

[open arch]

@brazen horizon think of what you want to put on your island and where? like would you like to have a huge centerpiece, your museum designed, shops, a marketplace?, restaurant, park, etc

[lavish garnet]

Looking for somebody to help me with tips on redesigning my island - I hate the look and need a fresh pair of eyes!

[vague locust]

I would die for bridges across cliffs

[fluid crystal]

ugh that's so cute

[winged zodiac]

haven’t even started couple of areas shown but the planificación it’s coming together

[open arch]

@vague locust love it!! it would look amazing if you had more trees around the entrance to the campsite to kinda "shroud" the campsite

[finite cargo]

lady gaga's mansion omg

when in doubt, add more cedar trees

that is the solution to all the problems on my island

[vague locust]

@open arch
OOOO that's a great idea

[lavish garnet]

Can somebody help me redesign my island in game please? I hate the look and I’m out of ideas

[open arch]

@vague locust hehe and add flowers around THOSE trees, it'll look even more amazing~~~

[charred jolt]

What kind of trees or whatever should I add

[open arch]

@charred jolt i would finish terraforming first and your trees should be the framing part

[charred jolt]

That’s it

I’m not making it four wide

[open arch]

o

[charred jolt]

Sadly I can only put trees in the middle

I was thinking bamboo but idk

[open arch]

what is the theme you're going for?

[neon schooner]

Does anyone need someone to pull their weeds? I need about 200 more weeds to get nook miles. I’ll pull them for free, as long as I can keep the weeds. Dm me if interested

[woven drift]
