as long as you have a general layout, then just go with the flow and it'll work out in the end
you can always tweak it

@outer geode you could do that or add a couple flowers/bushes/a tree and put the models for bugs in there!

@primal ginkgo Yeah im considering that, but the scrappy boat in the background ruins the entire zen vibe

I would just keep in mind that you can only build 8 inclines. Be sure you want to use that many for your museum

@primal ginkgo You think the trex skeleton on the main ground level with your suggestion above it would look good?

@noble vigil at least he only comes a couple times! Maybe try to make a path lines with lanterns to his boat? Make it seem a little more zen

Just fences everywhere

Aaaa, my boyfriend and I have two seperate switches and I decorate for my island and his. I have a basic white / country styled town while he has a japanese town and my mind breaks when I'm thinking of things to come up with. I'm at 5 stars and he's at 4

I love these!! Thanks for sharing y’all

@narrow solstice i thought about doing that as well, but since it’s so much work to place everything in the right corner (the river endings, the townhall, the airport, the secret beach etcpp) i just gave up haha

Yeah I meant for my bamboo garden, just that little area that’s like 7x13 or something
woven drift
I spend 600 stones in 30 mins
kindred yarrow
Okay I dunno if this is for here but since it's island building related, here's things I think they should add:
The ability to do paths faster than one by one
Bridges that connect to cliffs of the same level
Ability to edit our villagers houses
Ability to edit the outside of the Plaza, Nook Shop and Able Sisters
Diagonal paths and fences
Stacking patterns maybe? (A stone overlay, then a flower overlay on top)
Just my wishlist I guess LOL
hazy falcon
Can someone post pics of their outside dining setup? I have all the pieces but would like some inspo
woven drift
@hazy falcon
civic musk
well i agree with diagnal paths. i want to have a circular path and the current path endings are horrible for that

I mean, diagonal bridges sometimes looks bad because there's two little dumps instead of straight across

@woven drift these two river hearts look really really good was that your idea? 🥺

I don't terraform a ton, i've kept my island pretty close to the original layout. I like working around the "natural" layout

If you scroll back you can see that I kept all of my rivers natural
I never even reset for new layouts

i killed most of my third tier because who needs it, but other than that rivers have been touched up but nothing major has been moved

GameCube was my intro to animal crossing. First time I played was at my cousin's house.
I vividly remember the furniture place we went to. It had GameCube and N64 stuff everywhere.
Giant donkey kong and Mario. There was a show floor and you can play Chibi Robo on it.

Oh wait, if you terraform it, you can put fences up on the cliffs on either side, and make is a walkway, bamboo also works well if you have a path too

I see a ton of people in this chat putting down their islands, I thought the same thing. I just redid the WHOLE island, I moved shops, my museum and everything- just terraform a nice area for what ever your placing down, and think of things that could match your them/ colors of the store, same thing with fencing and flowers. most importantly just remember to not get stressed, just have fun! it’s a game after all,,
**theme
I hope I can help :>

heh
ornate mortar
I love the new update
woven drift

HOW DO PEOPLE DO THESE THINGS
formal raft
i have this space to work with i want to do water features but idk how to incorporate
dusty charm
i’m begging for ideas pleaseeeeee
dull palm
Tbh I hate my island layout but I'm pretty happy with how it's looking overall so layout wont kill it. I think part of the fun is making these things work like you would have to with nature.
real belfry
need opinions on what to do with villager houses

@formal raft but is it worth being stressed out over a game? I had the cutest villagers on my island, so it’s fair your saying that but I got even better ones this time :>
woven drift

sharp stump
does anyone have a "space" area for outside, displaying the rocket and stuff?
dull palm
@formal raft I really like split waterfalls. Like 2 and then 1 maybe even around a corner. I have that sort of thing in mine. 
bold vale

my cafe is not the best, I plan on expanding once I get more tables :>
woven drift
how do yall do these things i sw it’s sorcery
fallen cargo
I’ve pretty much put everything on my island around the edges and given myself a large open space in the middle to decorate with stuff, which I want to feel quite natural. But what to put there, I have no idea yet...
dull palm
I used a lot, A LOT, of island space for a dedicated nursery and there are some regrets, but. It's all reversible in the end.
neat field
zen garden XD also not the best :< still in progress tho!
dull palm
I really want to make a zen garden but it's so many pathing squares for the sand bits.
I love the memorial in front of the waterfall

stereotypical zen garden... the tent on the right im gonna turn into a japanese restaurant! (also i need more storage...)

I had that island on my options and I instead picked a terrible one ;^;

We should rename this channel #jealousy

OMG **is

@bold vale I love that look of villagers having their own spaces.
Little suburbs are fascinating and cool, and I never would have thought of building them but a more natural feel is beautiful too
bold vale
residential area is pretty much done but i still cant figure out where to put all the buildings..
viral sundial
Most of it is done (minus some decorating) except the red area, going for a water heavy island.

does anyone have a layout with a lot of 2nd-level space?

@dull palm yeah it gives it more character. i dont think anythings wrong with tiny compact ones that i see a lot of people do. it saves so much space doing it that way...
neat field
this chat is the least negative one I’ve seen
granite hemlock
this chat is the best
dull palm
@bold vale so much space ;^; I have no space at all cause I spread em all out. I think you struck a great balance here
granite hemlock
so many people have helped me out

Putting in work on my airport entrance tonight

@viral sundial looks good 👏
light pumice
that little waterfall is so cute oml
viral sundial
Terraforming takes way more time than I expected at first, flattening the entire map and removing all the water to have a blank canvas took hours
granite hemlock
@dusty charm a library, a cafe, a stage for a concert, a carnival, just get creative with it!
dusty charm
oooo a carnival
scenic blaze
@light pumice thank you!! It took me legit half an hour to get the curves right
viral sundial
@boreal patrol thank you :)
dull palm
@dusty charm do you have an orchard already? A garden or orchard would be a more natural option if you prefer those thing too
neat field
if I get pietro I’m putting his house in a carival
tawny glacier
terraforming is a game ruiner for alot of people, i honestly hope they rework it to be more intuitive at some point
dusty charm
no i don’t have an orchard
bold vale

@viral sundial sometimes i wish i did it but i think its so stressful doing it that way unless you have some plan or are artistic. i basically kept my original layout the same and terraformed from there to make it look cuter. its probably less space efficient this way tho
dull palm
A concert is such a cool idea @granite hemlock
granite hemlock
:))
boreal patrol
@viral sundial I'm in the middle of remodeling my entire island as well. Clean slate. Wish there was a creative mode like minecraft.

@dusty charm yes

everyone can i just say, this is the best chat of the server, everyone's islands are so cute and pretty and everyone is so nice and helps eachother out :))
sonic hull
Is there a program we can design in so we do this once?
tawny glacier
@pure nimbus robot hero instead
viral sundial
@bold vale @boreal patrol I used an online tool to create the general idea for most my island then slowly built it as I went once emptied. A clean slate was so tedious, worth it though. Although I did have a mini freak out looking at how much space you actually have when its empty
terse terrace
yea tbh everyone is civil here
granite hemlock
this is my fav chat
tawny glacier
same @granite hemlock
dull palm
@finite cargo bushes are a thing I'm planning on adding to mine. If only to push the fruits in a straight line when I shake. >)

@dull palm genius

you get to see the creative side from people and i think thats one of the best things about this game
sonic hull
@viral sundial what online tool
tawny glacier

granite hemlock

boreal patrol
@viral sundial yep, as I'm clearing im already thinking wth am I gonna do with all this space xD

this game has shown me I'm much more creative than I thought

@scenic blaze the pictures of your island are so pretty. Makes me tempted to make a woodsy island myself even if I did a natural/flowery one in NL.

@finite cargo windflower fans, hyacinth lamps, log stakes, bushes, flowers

@copper linden I would take a bench out and put a path to actually get in without stepping on flowers, but that's purely a personal taste thing I think.

Still at the early stages of my island layout, but I love these dino models by the museum

@woven drift rocks can only spawn in x amount of spaces so he covered a ton his island to force them to spawn there.
