island-designs

[woven drift]

LMFAO

[sand hawk]

Made a flower farm that makes it easy to see which flowers can or cannot be picked. All hybrids can be produced in this field with enough luck and patience

[woven drift]

so flowers + clutter for the cliffs, now i have to figure out which to put there

[terse terrace]

guys rate my island

[woven drift]

100/10

[bold mirage]

101/10

[bleak sigil]

[terse terrace]

[woven drift]

elementalcake just had to 1 up me

[bold mirage]

@bleak sigil Oooo cool yeah.

[stiff remnant]

infinity/10

[woven drift]

OK CAMERON

[tawny glacier]

@terse terrace if thats the design you want, im sad to say, it wont actually stay there

i wish it did

[bold mirage]

Infinity + 1 / 10

[glass crane]

Vibe time

[woven drift]

...

[terse terrace]

no i wont thank fuck, thats the reason why im not covering up the holes immediately

[woven drift]

ah yes i love covering my island with holes😍

[glass crane]

Kim I give it a 10/10

[woven drift]

^^

[autumn wedge]

Entryway work in progress :D

[bold mirage]

Also pro tip: for natural things like nature trails and forests, use the bug models from flick.

[woven drift]

WTF

[glass crane]

Wait cuteeee

[woven drift]

I

[tame bloom]

that's so cute

[woven drift]

Thats amazing

y’all are too creative

[autumn wedge]

💖

[woven drift]

fr tho @woven drift

[pearl palm]

do you guys like to put your house near everything else or separated

[woven drift]

@tawny glacier which flowers do i put on this cliff

[heavy saffron]

what are some of your fav island entrances/airport layouts

[woven drift]

mine is separate

[glass crane]

my house is up on a mountain away from all of my villagers

[tawny glacier]

@woven drift you spelled robot hero wrong

[woven drift]

I put my villagers around the rs

[heavy saffron]

my resident services is just off-center from the airport exit and it makes me big mad

[woven drift]

LMFAOOO STOPs

[bold mirage]

@pearl palm right now it’s close, but I probably will separate it from everything.

[glass crane]

My map for reference

[woven drift]

And im planning on punning my house on a cliff

[autumn wedge]

Saaaame

[glass crane]

away from all of my ugly villagers

[autumn wedge]

I wish we could move rs

[tame bloom]

^

[woven drift]

forreal omg

[glass crane]

I am the crazy lady in the woods

[woven drift]

i have no clue what to put around mine

[heavy saffron]

i'm trying to find cute pics of plazas in here but there's too many images lmfao

[bold mirage]

I might put my house in the big orchard I’m making

[heavy saffron]

animal crossing server 2 wild

[spring bison]

@bold mirage part of my forest and trail area..no where near done yet so dont judge

[glass crane]

My plaza

[young rose]

can i tour anyones city island? trying to figure out what aesthetic i want to do for my island

[heavy saffron]

aw that's cute

[bold mirage]

@spring bison That’s cool!

[heavy saffron]

i didn't knwo you could customize the lighthouse

[woven drift]

your is nice

[glass crane]

You can’t

Everyone gets a random color

[heavy saffron]

ah

[bold mirage]

I can show y’all my nature trail at some point I’m proud of it, but I’m not currently playing

[glass crane]

luckily my friend got a yellow one lol

[heavy saffron]

i got the black one which i'm fine with

[brazen moat]

I messed up.

[woven drift]

i can’t find a plaza surrounded by the stone path to get inspo from

[heavy saffron]

omg same

[tame bloom]

a want a white lighthouse

[steel junco]

To add to the idea of using fences as gates:

[heavy saffron]

i'm going for a cute stone cozy aesthetic

[glass crane]

@steel junco that’s epic omg

[woven drift]

that’s cute

so am i @heavy saffron

[bold mirage]

I can’t wait for autumn in this game.

[woven drift]

yes omg!

[spring bison]

@bold mirage inbetween my meadow and campsite

[steel junco]

@glass crane thanks!

[bold mirage]

Awesome!

[glass crane]

I wish we had legit gates

so I can lock people out

LOL

[pulsar plover]

i have not started to design my island yet but take a look at my newest creation

[glass crane]

I winged it

[bold mirage]

I’ve based mine off of the map I got, mostly because I didn’t have other ideas.

[ripe quarry]

I based mine off of my original layout. I did terraform some things but the shape is still mostly there

[steel junco]

@glass crane lol I’d love to have real gates. I did it this way on purpose that way if I’m doing trades or if I ever get good turnip prices I can pick up and move the fences to “close the gates” so visitors are restricted to my little town “plaza” 😁

[woven drift]

Used my map as a base and expanded cliffs to fill the island in more

[tight niche]

anyone got any ideas for more stuff i could add around this area, im decorating it rn but it still feels kinda empty, my theme is shipping complex

[mossy elbow]

Hey guys im doing this as a pathway what do u guys think?

[bold mirage]

I’m transforming one of my big cliffs into an orchard/flower field

[woven drift]

cute!

[glass crane]

most of my buildings are in their original spots just bc I’m too lazy and poor to move them so I just work with where they already are LOL

[bold mirage]

@mossy elbow That’s awesome

[glass crane]

only buildings I moved were the museum and my house

[spring bison]

I only terraformed some river bends to shrink and widen, then a small area for houses

[fast relic]

Willows island is amazing

[mossy elbow]

@bold mirage cool tysm!

[glass crane]

Onto mountains bc they deserve to be away from my ugly villagers

[bold mirage]

I put my houses all around my island so Imma have to move them at some point

[severe falcon]

Okay

[glass crane]

ty jessi ily mama tuna

[fast relic]

Ly2 b

[ember kestrel]

concept? shed for crafting

[bold mirage]

Cool!

[severe falcon]

Good idea, needs tool shelf etc

[tawny glacier]

@tight niche how did you get patterns on the beach

[ember kestrel]

true, luckily I have one but it's an ugly color lol

[tight niche]

you can place em down with the pattern tool without a path

[pearl palm]

@tawny glacier so you meant something kinda like this?

[tawny glacier]

huh

@pearl palm yeah, but more so like a city so like one sec let me go into ms paint

[peak wraith]

i've come seeking inspiration

[bold mirage]

What would you guys add to a cafe besides tables and dishes?

[glass crane]

I wish there was a storage shed

that we could use for actual storage

[woven drift]

I wish bags carried stuff

[boreal patrol]

anyone got any ideas for more stuff i could add around this area, im decorating it rn but it still feels kinda empty, my theme is shipping complex
@tight niche

Tire stacks? Browse nookazon

[bold mirage]

I wish there was more storage in general

[glass crane]

Instead of just in our house

[eternal scaffold]

so i think you should have a body of water on every level because some fish you can only spawn on high areas

[woven drift]

yea

like cherry salmons p sure

[versed crag]

hey

[glass crane]

@bold mirage potted plants

[tight niche]

@boreal patrol ive been savin up my tires for those and trash bags

[glass crane]

a cafe sign thing

[bold mirage]

@glass crane Oooo thanks for the idea!

[glass crane]

maybe a little area for live music if that’s a thing LOL

[peak wraith]

i have no idea if I want to keep all my villager's houses on the base level island or not

[woven drift]

I wanna make a crafting area but im scared of getting robbed if someone visits lmao

[glass crane]

like a guitar

[heavy saffron]

i wish it didn't take a whole day to demolish shit T__T

[stiff scroll]

@woven drift make the crafting area have a small entrance. Before you host , just put a fence

[bold mirage]

I’ve already started to set up what Imma call “Smooth Jazz Rock” with the instruments

[deep pasture]

@mossy elbow that looks so dope

[glass crane]

@woven drift when people visit my island I just kinda run around and make sure there’s nothing they can steal 😂😂😂 I should probably do that before I invite them but I don’t

[woven drift]

Thank guys LOL

thanks** oop

[patent sky]

@glass crane SAME THO

[sacred siren]

Too much water

[mossy elbow]

@deep pasture tsym!!

[ember kestrel]

yup, if you want those fish you'll want the river clifftop. cherry salmon, golden trout, char, and stringfish. I prefer pier fishing though, since I already donated those

[tawny glacier]

@pearl palm more like this, having all the houses like that looks very uniform and bland, i wouldn't go for this exact little half assed layout i just made, but something like that, the yellow is for houses and shops, the green scribbles was to get rid of the other houses

[boreal patrol]

@heavy saffron a day? I'm on day 3 of demolishing my island. 😢

[heavy saffron]

oh i mean like bridges/inclines

[boreal patrol]

So many flowers xc

[woven drift]

I time travel a lot

[pearl palm]

ahhh i see

[pearl cedar]

Looking for garden/park ideas. Does anybody have any cool screenshots?

[boreal patrol]

Oh yeah. I TT only for renovation purposes tho

[pearl palm]

thanks! Just would have to decide what to do with the left side of the river

[dusk fjord]

i need help deciding what to put in this little area next to my tailors shop

[peak wraith]

@sacred siren is that your actual island

[fast relic]

One of my fave areas

[heavy saffron]

this is the first AC game i've ever played so i haven't time traveled cuz i'm tryna take it slow

[sacred siren]

Yes

[tawny glacier]

make it like a very organized city, but make room for other areas but dont keep all the houses too clumped

[heavy saffron]

but i've been tempted lmao

[woven drift]

When i redid my island i time travelled sm cuz i didnt wanna wait a week to move all my houses but its all bout personal preferences

[sacred siren]

I’m open rn if you wanna see

[peak wraith]

omg i'm jelly

[bold mirage]

I don’t have screenshots but I have ideas @zealous skiffron

[drowsy shoal]

Hi all! First time posting here — this is also my first full AC game!

Island’s name is a reference to Cosmo Canyon in Final Fantasy VII. That was originally gonna be it for my nod to FF7 but I suddenly got a burst of ideas to basically make my entire island an homage! <3

I’ll be leaning away from a city aesthetic, though. I’d like to be more rural/outdoorsy — rustic, if anything?

Anyways, does this look like it’d be a decent start?

[steel junco]

Too much water
@sacred siren 7.8 out of 10

[peak wraith]

@sacred siren dodo code?

[woven drift]

LMFAOO I-

[boreal patrol]

@drowsy shoal looks great

[bold mirage]

Use the models from flick as bugs so there’s always insects around

[lyric bobcat]

So i was making like a little setting place right in front of my museum and I’m in the process of moving all my flowers but I don’t know want to put their instead

[woven drift]

“7.8 out of 10” bruh😭

[ember kestrel]

loool I have no clue where to put my museum

[woven drift]

im probs gonna move mine

[spring bison]

Start of my playground, using standee bushes and trees to surround it

[woven drift]

idk where tho

[glass crane]

YESSS JESSII UR ISLAND IS EPIC

[dusk fjord]

i need help deciding what to put in this little area next to my tailors shop
@dusk fjord plz i need help ahh

[woven drift]

How's my layout, what's a spot i could have a small cliff pond or any cool terraforming features to fill out spaces

[dusk fjord]

helppp me decide what to put here

[boreal patrol]

@dusk fjord when in doubt, make a garden or flower bed.

[dusk fjord]

👍🏼

[bold mirage]

Flowers. Always flowers.

[dusk fjord]

thanks

[ember kestrel]

hedges in some fashion?

[burnt minnow]

i like using the clothesline

thats always cute next to houses

[north saddle]

some flowers and probably some clothes on display

[honest blade]

finally found the perfect entrance to my museum! 🙂

[ember kestrel]

I wish there was some way to fill up the rounded cliff corners..

[glass crane]

Omg that’s adorable!’n

[ember kestrel]

jeeesus

[young zinc]

hey, im looking for someone, to help me with my layout and what to change, i dont like the layout i have, and i would appreciate if someone dmed me a change to this layout and where houses should go

[patent sky]

Open rn if people wanna stop by

[sacred siren]

^

[tawny glacier]

@patent sky taking every chance to show off her 100/10 island 🥺

[oblique dragon]

[young zinc]

pls dm if you are willing to show me the change of the layout i posted

[burnt minnow]

if my island was nice af i would too

[ember kestrel]

I'm horrible at suggesting layouts for other people. it's hard enough deciding for my own island lol, I've had a couple of ideas that now I have to scrap because I know I can do better

[short shadow]

i don't know if anyone else is struggling with the tile size of the player house? i'm so annoyed that it's an odd number when the whole grid is even. anyone have any suggestions about how they disguise this?

[glass crane]

Mine went from this to this LOL

[ember kestrel]

that's a really good question that I was wondering myself, jigglypuff

[sacred siren]

Nice paths

[plain pier]

Does anyone have links to Japanese players' island layouts?

[sacred siren]

Lol

[tight niche]

why japanese

[junior burrow]

Hi

[bold mirage]

Imagine having enough time to make an island look good. Couldn’t be me

[sacred siren]

the Japanese are clearly superior at all video games

[boreal patrol]

@plain pier no link but I keep this one on hand from YouTube. And he's korean.

[fast relic]

@glass crane tysm!

[compact canopy]

Do you guys put the shrubs outside your hedge or within your hedge

[glass crane]

omg the paths on that

[plain pier]

why japanese
@tight niche They have good custom paths/layouts so Im assuming some of their layouts are pretty good

I saw some in twitter but i lost it

[tight niche]

i mean everyone else has those too wtf

[plucky merlin]

Hi!! This is my layout right now and I’m having trouble if I should redo my neighborhood in the left upper part of my island which has nothing on it yet. My neighborhood is near resident services and I like it the way it is right now (thats where I moved everything in rhe beginning, but now since I have terraforming i can so something better) Any thoughts?

[plain pier]

@plain pier no link but I keep this one on hand from YouTube. And he's korean.
@boreal patrol does this guy have island pics? I purged my island, redoing terraforming cuz I'm pretty late learning that there is only a limit of 8 bridges and inclines

[patent sky]

@tawny glacier I have no idea what you're talking about

[woven drift]

@drowsy shoal I love this layout! It gave me some ideas for my own island, it looks great c:

[patent sky]

I'm just crafting a ton of stuff for my friend rn lol

[boreal patrol]

@plain pier ill dm u the video. Id recommend just going on YouTube and watching 5 star island tours for more visual.

[frosty spruce]

my island feels dumb @patent sky haha

[boreal patrol]

There's also a lot of regular ppl in this chat with great ideas as well..

[tawny glacier]

why do my villager have to be so loyal, i just want some of them to move out

[frosty spruce]

same tendo

[bold mirage]

Anybody know if there are any sort of furniture like stage lights or spotlights that would go well with a live music area?

[tawny glacier]

i just want my sweet imperial style house villagers and zen hut villagers

[rancid musk]

Can you guys send me your map I need inspiration

[drowsy shoal]

Omg tysm @boreal patrol and @woven drift!!! I've been so envious of everyone's maps, so that makes me so happy to hear. 😊

[woven drift]

Tis is my entrance but the floor looks empty what should i put apart from flowers

[drowsy shoal]

Oh, why is that in quotes, lol

[bold mirage]

Dang it I was gonna say flowers

[glass crane]

Train that is beautiful

gimme mushroom lamps smfh

[woven drift]

tysm🥺💞💞

LOL

[plain pier]

my island feels dumb @patent sky haha
@frosty spruce I find most 5 star youtube island tours a bit similar.. like most of them are Japanese themed, Tho I found the Natural/Forest theme, it was amazing

[glass crane]

I want to spam my entire island with them

[bold mirage]

Butterfly models.

[woven drift]

@woven drift maybe a stone path

[lone raven]

@plucky merlin I find that having some empty stuff on your island can really be a relief so maybe you should keep all the busy stuff on one side

[boreal patrol]

@woven drift more mushrooms or rock furniture.

[short shadow]

@woven drift you could put down small paths that look like very tiny flowers on top of the grass

[junior burrow]

Here’s one of my villager areas

[bold mirage]

@hollow cradle Butterfly models and other insects that would look nice with it.

[woven drift]

Tysmm guys💞

[plucky merlin]

@lone raven thank u for the advice! im currently terraforming that area down to the ground so I know what to with it later on

[normal snow]

Anyone want to invite me? I'm slowly loosing inspiration

I can help with stuff or something, I'm just bored

[woven drift]

Dw you’ll get there

Crap its 4am

[drowsy shoal]

Sorry to post again but I actually did mean to ask…

My main struggle is how low the shops + Residential Services plaza will be in relation to the entrance. I wanted to make a really cool stacked waterfall pathway but I’m not sure there’s enough north-bound space.

Anyone have ideas or examples of what it might look like on the map or actual pics?

[junior burrow]

What could I add to my island?

[heavy saffron]

friendly reminder that you'll spawn more flowers if they're watered by visitors

[bold mirage]

@junior burrow A nature trail

[junior burrow]

Anything else?

[bold mirage]

Cafe if you don’t have one already

Orchard

[junior burrow]

I have 2 lol

And a orchard.. my island is so empty in places

[bold mirage]

Live music?

[solar lantern]

Can someone tell me what that flag like item call?

[junior burrow]

Yes maybe

[patent sky]

Oof @plain pier you haven't even seen my island

[junior burrow]

Thanks

[bold mirage]

I’m trying to think of what I’m doing with mine for ideas

You could also make like a little secret pond or something

[plain pier]

Oof @plain pier you haven't even seen my island :isacrytears:
@patent sky Is this an island tour invitation? ahahha

[tight niche]

its a hand truck lol

[tawny glacier]

YES DELI MOVED TF OUT

CYA LATER

after 12 months of time travel

[deep pasture]

how does one upload a pic of their island to happy island designer lol

[tawny glacier]

i dont think u can

u just have to make it yourself

[deep pasture]

word

[tawny glacier]

@tight niche can you explain to me again how you put the paths on the beach

[drowsy shoal]

@deep pasture Yeah, you can upload it as a reference and draw on top of it. Took me quite a bit to match everything. 😭

[finite cargo]

wait not all silos are red? or can you customize it?

[deep pasture]

okay thats what i thought

[patent sky]

Wait you can customize the stone tablet thing wtf I'm an idiot lol

[woven drift]

All Nook mile items differ in colours per person @finite cargo

[tight niche]

i just used the custom path thing in the terraforming app @tawny glacier

[sacred siren]

Except for recipe items

[woven drift]

^

[drowsy shoal]

Definitely worth it to do though. And then if you save your new Happy Island Designer maps, THOSE you can upload later and it'll be editable. 🙂 @deep pasture

[sacred siren]

Silo is a recipe you get as well as the tablet

[patent sky]

Custom paths to block out building layout!!! ALWAYS!!

Will save you millions of bells and also your sanity

[woven drift]

Oh didn't know the silo was a recipe.

[finite cargo]

That's what I thought but I've never seen a silo that isn't red @woven drift

[tawny glacier]

SO I CAN ACTUALLY PUT PATH ON MY BEACH

[woven drift]

turns out it's a diy, so it's customisable- my mistake! @finite cargo

[tawny glacier]

FINALLY A GOOD DESIGN DECISISON

[finite cargo]

OH! Hahah idek I made my so long ago that I don't even remember lol

[ember kestrel]

I might make a little farm with yellow hyacinths and the silo 😭 it was such a cute idea I saw from someone

[woven drift]

What can I do for this little area?

[finite cargo]

@ember kestrel this is my farm! Ive added a staw bed since i took this pic!

[sacred siren]

Spa

[vapid hemlock]

@boreal patrol that layout is dope. Do you have any other ones you keep on hand?

[woven drift]

A tiny market area?

Hmm🤔🤔🤔

[ember kestrel]

ugh so sweet. I put some hay beds at my orchard

[woven drift]

Yee those are both good ideas!

[scenic blaze]

@woven drift fish market

[woven drift]

LOL

[ember kestrel]

the country fences might add a lovely touch 😭

[woven drift]

For who was saying about farms

[drowsy shoal]

Those fruit boxes are SO cute. Can't wait to have one of every fruit to put in my orchard. 😭

[glass crane]

ah yes the pretzel fences

[woven drift]

I don't have a lot of things but thnx for the suggestions guys

[ember kestrel]

pretzel fences... i love

[boreal patrol]

Pretty sure they're adding farm crops in future update. Forgot where I read that tho

[sacred siren]

Datamines

[finite cargo]

I heard that too

[indigo sierra]

It was datamined

[glass crane]

they literally look like pretzels but i love them

[ember kestrel]

yummy

[indigo sierra]

Could be fake or could be something else

[hot kraken]

does anybody have any ideas for how to put paths around your town tall?

[boreal patrol]

Oh yeah lol. Makes sense because the silo.

[woven drift]

I put stone path around my town hall @hot kraken

[patent sky]

@finite cargo when do I get to come drool over your island

[versed crag]

https://tenor.com/view/arlo-hello-puppet-gif-13856332

hello

[finite cargo]

@finite cargo when do I get to come drool over your island
@patent sky omg I have construction open rn bc I'm working on my market but if you want you can come over later!!?

[hot kraken]

@woven drift ty!!!!! my town halls in a weird area and its kinda hard to find a viable way 2 put them in there

[patent sky]

Okies!! I have to take my cat to the vet soon but I will after!

[finite cargo]

😄

[ember kestrel]

I hope kitty is ok

[scenic blaze]

is your cat okay??

[patent sky]

Oh she's okay it's a regular appointment to give her a shot for her digestive issue

[woven drift]

Ahhh yeah that's understandable as heck XD If you want I can show you an example of mine, of course it's just a work in progress tho 😄 @hot kraken

[scenic blaze]

okay phew

[woven drift]

I have this empty space any ideas?

[thorn pendant]

Can someone show me a pic of bobs house?

[terse terrace]

if you want paths with decent resolution yea @cloud obsidian

[short shadow]

@cloud obsidian tbh yeah but it depends on your preferences...i think the custom paths look really bad on their own

[ember kestrel]

@cloud obsidian should grab them all so you can put the transparent patterns on top of the regular paths, super cute

[hot kraken]

@woven drift id love to see!!!!!!!

[short shadow]

yeah they look GREAT layered

[woven drift]

👍👍👍

I've just finished making the bottom picture a reality for the terraforming. Am excited ^^

[short shadow]

also some of them have special features

like you can dig into dirt paths and you can plant palm trees in sand paths

[versed crag]

nice

[drowsy shoal]

Nice! How long did it take you @woven drift ? I'm about to start doing the same and I have a similar starting map to yours. It's gonna need a full redo.

[woven drift]

@hot kraken

[hot kraken]

@woven drift TYSM THAT LOOKS SO CUTE ILYSM

[woven drift]

LOL 😂😂 aw you're welcome!! 🤗🤗

a LONG time! It wasn't too bad, just focused on getting rough shapes of what i wanted levelation wise, that's not too bad. Water is my worst enemy tho. @drowsy shoal

[hot kraken]

ill totally take some inspiration from that!!!!!

[woven drift]

is anyone else tempted to redo half their island now they have hedges?

[glass crane]

mood

[woven drift]

Ayy nice nice cx tysm it's that a first lol

[versed crag]

looks nice

[polar dagger]

I have a huge space in front of my villagers houses, so what should I build?

[woven drift]

how about a little park area?

[bold mirage]

Do they have yards already?

[glass crane]

my picky self wishes the hedges didnt have the stone at the bottom bc i want it to be bush-like even though we also have bushes but they have flowers and i want some without flowers but im just super nit-picky about this game smh

[polar dagger]

@bold mirage no

[bold mirage]

Give them each their own little yard

[glass crane]

i could complain forever about this game but i still love it

[polar dagger]

Ok @bold mirage

[scenic blaze]

mood

[glass crane]

give them a pond

[versed crag]

https://tenor.com/view/akshay-kumar-very-nice-gift-of-fb-okay-agree-gif-12369602

[glass crane]

a cute pond with a duck and flowers and bushes

[bold mirage]

My main complaint isn’t about the game. It’s about the fact that I have drift in both joy cons

[woven drift]

same @glass crane i was CONVINCED we were going to be able to customise it to change the stone at the bottom....

[bold mirage]

Drit****

[woven drift]

but ofc, no customising fences...

[bold mirage]

Drift***

[glass crane]

why do we not have white picket fences

[meager seal]

IM JUST TRYING TOO GET RID OF THESE STUPID FLOWERS BUT MY SHOVEL KEEPS ON BREAKING

[glass crane]

im not going to use them but i would like the option

[woven drift]

anybody have a pool area ?

They're in the trailer for the game, we should have them.

[bold mirage]

@meager seal you can customize the normal shovel and it resets the durability

[ripe trellis]

We need an update on bridges that can be built on the second and third tier of the island, something like this

[glass crane]

maybe we'll get them in an update eventually

[woven drift]

YES PLEASE.

[glass crane]

ikr amanda

[bold mirage]

That would be so cool!!!

[narrow solstice]

^^^

[woven drift]

I can't handle having to diy bridges with fences and custom paths

and it only works vertically.

[foggy stone]

LOOKING FOR METEOR SHOWER
I CAN PAY 1NMT FOR ENTRY
PLIS SEND ME A DM🌠

[narrow solstice]

and an update for more inclines😔 i has to demolish a brand new incline because i didn’t know the max was 8

[drowsy shoal]

@meager seal you can customize the normal shovel and it resets the durability
@bold mirage Is this more cost-effective than just crafting another shovel? And this is another reason I think we should have a durability meter 😦

[trail pagoda]

Bothers me so much

[woven drift]

you can only have 8???

oh this cute @trail pagoda

[ember kestrel]

current concept, blue = undecided and black = demolishing

[narrow solstice]

@woven drift yes :•(

[woven drift]

oh no. looks at my museum design using 4 ramps

[trail pagoda]

It's one space off center and I cant do anything about it

[bold mirage]

@drowsy shoal I’m not sure if it’s as cost effective or not, mostly because I don’t use the kits Tom Nook gave me besides for this

[narrow solstice]

my museum uses two ramps, my house has four, one in the marketplace, and one for my clifftop neighborhood

[woven drift]

lol i have 4 inclines only for my villagers

I now want an incline for redd's stupid beach,#

[bold mirage]

I have four for my nature trail and two for my orchard. Yikes.

[ember kestrel]

I'd also like to use 2 inclines for my museum but I don't know if I can spare that many...

[harsh plinth]

I have four just for my house ):

[versed wadi]

I deleted 3 inclines today, felt good

[woven drift]

@bold mirage I'd love to see your nature trail whenever you can

[marble portal]

How do you all make areas behind cliffs more natural? :c

[bold mirage]

@woven drift I’ll show it later when I’m on the game!

[woven drift]

Ty!

i finally deleted my stupid log bridge

[drowsy shoal]

I know villagers can spawn anywhere so nothing's truly off-limits to them, but are they ever actually seen hopping small cliffs or ponds?

[narrow solstice]

i wanted to make a flat area near redd’s beach but it’s right behind my museum & waterfall so... can’t do that

[bold mirage]

@marble portal probably add flowers if you can’t put trees there

[narrow solstice]

@woven drift i felt so wasteful deleting it, but it looks so ugly

[bold mirage]

WHEN IN DOUBT ADD FLOWERS

That’s my motto

[marble portal]

Hmm good idea. I might dump a bunch of flowers or trees there

[narrow solstice]

mine is when in doubt, add flower islands

[woven drift]

A waterfall could be useful for a hidden entrance design though

[sacred siren]

When in doubt add a graveyard

Helped me a ton ngl

[marble portal]

My island is just a hot mess right now since I mapped everything out and then found out there was a max of 8 inclines

[bold mirage]

That’s so dark and funny at the same time

[narrow solstice]

like that hehe

[woven drift]

I want dead bushes and flowers to make a creepy graveyard

[bold mirage]

My island is a mess because I don’t have a plan of where to put my extra furniture

[polar dagger]

@bold mirage put it in your house

[narrow solstice]

or sell it! people on nookazon are looking for basically everything

[trail pagoda]

green and waterfalls I'm so happy we got hedges and shrubs\

[ember kestrel]

listen it's so frustrating that they don't give the players that creative freedom, simply making it 16 inclines and bridges total would've really helped this issue. so you could have 10 inclines and 6 bridges

[bold mirage]

@polar dagger I don’t know how much storage I have left. Haven’t paid off my loan for the left room yet.

[versed wadi]

My graveyard was difficult, there’s very limited spooky items.

[woven drift]

half my island is trash lol i put all the basic and ugly flowers at the same place and i don’t know what to do with them now

[sacred siren]

Bushes and color faded objects make it perfect

[woven drift]

I wish i had chosen a map with more space between the airport and res services... I have hardly any space to make a grand entrance

[sacred siren]

Also weeds

[elfin python]

does anyone have fences and bushes inside the fence too? not sure if i should do that

[marble portal]

I have like 2 bridges only so would've definitely helped

[bold mirage]

Can you move inclines and stuff without demolishing them? And do you need to pay to demolish?

[tawny glacier]

why does nobody have my boy dobie

[ripe dawn]

The hibiscus still let's you walk thru it, I should have a working maze by tomorrow

[tawny glacier]

i neeeeed him

[woven drift]

10k to demolish lol

10k to demolish and takes a day, no way of moving otherwise

[narrow solstice]

10k to demolish and you have to completely rebuild

[bold mirage]

Oooooof

[ember kestrel]

my condolences to the people who didn't know about the bridge incline limit

[woven drift]

^

[versed wadi]

Can you move inclines and stuff without demolishing them? And do you need to pay to demolish?
@bold mirage 10k to demolish them the cost of building again

[raven galleon]

@elfin python i have a bush, then a fence, then flowers lining paths loll

[narrow solstice]

and it takes two days

unless you time travel 😌

[elfin python]

@raven galleon ohh do you mind if I see a picture? 😊

[tawny glacier]

time travel gang

[narrow solstice]

^^!

[bold mirage]

My nature trail goes to from the ground to the third ground height and back down so I have four inclines for that

[woven drift]

@woven drift sell excess flowers

[plain pier]

@patent sky Have a really great island design guys.. really beautiful

[narrow solstice]

i always time travel back and then forward so that i end up on the accurate date hehe

[versed wadi]

My nature trail goes to from the ground to the third ground height and back down so I have four inclines for that
@bold mirage I can relate

[woven drift]

anybody have a pool area

[sacred siren]

Same

[narrow solstice]

i have a mini one near the beach!

[patent sky]

@plain pier tysm that means a lot, here the map for reference but I think half of you have seen it lol

[glass crane]

i have 7 inclines LOL

[sacred siren]

My shopping area has 3 inclines and my house has 2 so..

[bold mirage]

I like the excitement of waiting for things, so I don’t time travel. But nothing against people who do!!!

[polar echo]

how can i make my rivers curved without being boxy and awkward rounding corners isn’t helping

[scenic onyx]

anybody can help me how i should plce my villagers?

[polar echo]

boxy

[versed wadi]

@woven drift

[sacred siren]

I have max inclines so I have to use the ladder to use to my secret island

[woven drift]

oh this is super cute

[ember kestrel]

girl take that pride in your effort and run with it @patent sky I'm sick of seeing everyone saying they hate their map

[narrow solstice]

@dusk walrus

[boreal solstice]

@scenic onyx you could maybe do a little 5 x 2 village with little front yards?

[bold mirage]

Y’all out here with nice islands

[woven drift]

@scenic onyx You're going for a structured design it seems - straight lines and boxes. Why now have a row of houses along a path, each with a little fenced in yard?

[versed wadi]

@plain pier tysm that means a lot, here the map for reference but I think half of you have seen it lol
@patent sky I’ve felt very inadequate since visiting last night, lol

[trail pagoda]

trying to make a nice island anyway

[ember kestrel]

when you put that much time and effort I sure would hope you'd be proud of the outcome

[versed crag]

any one know anime

[harsh plinth]

This is my friend's pool area @woven drift

[ember kestrel]

Anime? what's that

[scenic blaze]

when can i visit lulu

[scenic onyx]

thank you @woven drift and @boreal solstice i will think about it 😅

[polar echo]

how can i make my river look more naturally curved without them looking boxy and weird. curving the corners isn’t helping much

[finite cargo]

omg my villagers don't give a fck about me until I'm doing construction then they gotta be all up in my business and in my way

[versed crag]

it like i will show you a picture

[woven drift]

An interesting workaround for DIY bridges on higher levels, though can only work vertical

[lyric bramble]

posted this a bit ago. when just making the rivers to make them feel natural, when they move, move both sides of it. usually rivers are 4-5 tiles long. @polar echo

[patent sky]

@versed wadi noooo I think your island is amazing!! Everyone here has awesome islands!!

[finite cargo]

REALLY DOTTY YOU'RE GONNA DO YOGA RIGHT WHERE I'M DOING CONSTRUCTION ARE YOU KIDDING

@scenic blaze I can open after I finish my IRL thing and fix that area you pointed out bc that was on point lol

[flint light]

Does one of the pinned preset planner websites have one that can quick calvulate what your current island looks like?

[trail pagoda]

sitting area fo rthe musem sound good?

[scenic blaze]

OOOOO yay

[versed wadi]

I’ve been tearing down and refactoring my garish entrance today. In between digging an IRL pond.

I’m just happy I don’t have to worry about money with bridges and stuff. Sold 2000 turnips for 1 million bells today

@scenic blaze it’s heavily influenced by that tweet, lol

[scenic blaze]

that's what i was hoping you'd say lmao

[ripe trellis]

@woven drift that looks really good!

[woven drift]

it's not mine, taken from online somewhere- but it's a neat idea!

[ember kestrel]

the sable patterns have no right being this attractive

[scenic blaze]

i took some influence from that tweet and enhanced my own entryway and now i'm gonna leave it alone for a while https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1254063189702004737

I took inspiration from reddit and made a moon temple with blessed ponds on an empty spot i didn't know what to do with ❤️

[bold mirage]

I really like the cliffs next to the path!!!

[ember kestrel]

oh yeah... that's a hot vibe @scenic blaze might be in my subconscious when I make my entrance eventually

[scenic blaze]

thank you island layout squad

it was like three days of constant tweaking

[ripe trellis]

These are all so pretty omg 🥺

[narrow solstice]

@clever plank that’s beautiful

[ember kestrel]

your brains are perfect

[ember kestrel]

hell yeah

[versed wadi]

@scenic blaze love it

[woven drift]

i hate you all, how dare you make my island look like such trash in comparison

[flint light]

Got a theme of the 4 divine beasts symbols that i made myself out of 4 pics per panel, each one going to the 4 wolves in my town ^^ dobie whitney audie and kyle

[sacred siren]

Neat

[scenic blaze]

🥰 mcgibbon noticed me

[sacred siren]

Campsite

[lyric bramble]

holy cow

lots of stuff going on in that pic

[scenic blaze]

i love the junky aesthetic there

[narrow solstice]

that’s really cool & detailed!! mine is just a tent and fire

[sacred siren]

It used to just be wood path around a lake lol

[woven drift]

hey!! anyone know the dimensions of upgraded nooks cranny and the able sisters? I’m not sure where I can find it in the discord

Bruh is it cloudy/raining in everyone’s islands

[scenic blaze]

it's in the pinned messages zebbie!

[lyric bramble]

same size @woven drift

[sacred siren]

Upgraded cranny is the same as first stage

[woven drift]

what’s the size?

[restive meteor]

Help cqnt think of any design infront of airport

[sacred siren]

H o u s e

[lyric bramble]

straight flexin with that money tree

[sacred siren]

there’s two

[sick beacon]

Does anyone have any ideas for how to fill up space 🥺

[sacred siren]

10 graveyards

[verbal quartz]

@sacred siren omg

[lyric bramble]

@sick beacon use the 2nd and 3rd tier cliffs way more.

[finite cargo]

Ok what else should i put in my farmers market? I have 2 fruit stalls, a stall with a pitcher and pot, a stall with a wooden fish and matryoshka with a raccoon figurine next to it, and one empty stall. I want to put the necklace stand/jewelry stand up but I can't find it anywhere.

[versed wadi]

@restive meteor My old entrance, I tore it out today so you’re welcome to it. 😂

[trail pagoda]

some of these shrubs arent actually growing flowers..

[sacred siren]

Bingo wheel lottery stall is what you need

[woven drift]

Not all of them bloom at the same time @trail pagoda

[sacred siren]

Have an expensive item next to it

[verbal quartz]

@sacred siren yess omg

[lyric bramble]

@trail pagoda they shrubs are seasonal

[trail pagoda]

hmmm

[clever plank]

Filling up space was so hard for me, i want with a forest, a temple, a zen garden with bamboo farm, a park, the typical residential area and commercial area and my own house getting a big garden

[sick beacon]

where would u reccomend? @lyric bramble

[pearl palm]

alright everyone so if i put these houses on the right side of the river what should i do with the left side

[restive meteor]

@versed wadi hahahah let me visit you pls need ideas

[trail pagoda]

I need sitting area ideas

[verbal quartz]

@pearl palm do a recreational area

[woven drift]

^ maybe a bamboo forest/park?

[finite cargo]

why can't I get my custom patterns to round off even though I have a regular path underneath it?

[drowsy shoal]

Omg @sick beacon I love what you've done with your terraforming so far, looks great! I have the same amount of vertical space for the entrance, so that gave me some inspiration. As for filling the space — do you also already have a flower garden/nursery area? What about a cute farm for storing turnips?

[lyric bramble]

@sick beacon from seeing your map, you could create a new mini hill or mountain where all your villager houses currently are, or maybe something to the left of that town hall. there is also barely and t3 cliffs being used besides at your entrance point and by the museum

[raven galleon]

anyone have simple but nice entrance ideas??

[versed wadi]

@restive meteor maybe tomorrow evening, I’m in deep construction mode trying to reassemble everything

[scenic blaze]

@finite cargo they need one pixel that's transparent to snap to the path

[restive meteor]

I dont know where to start look at my entrance.how does it look?

[sick beacon]

tysm!! @drowsy shoal those are really cute ideas, ty!

[verbal quartz]

SERIOUS QUESTION
when using terraforming does it cost bells or is it free?

[lyric bramble]

@sick beacon also remember every island has 2 river mouths that go to the sea so you need to make a spot for the other one as well

[woven drift]

Hey I’m looking for ideas on what to do with my island please dm me if you could give me some ideas

[sick beacon]

yea tysm @lyric bramble i'm trying to find a place for the one near my house now! :D

[finite cargo]

@finite cargo they need one pixel that's transparent to snap to the path
@scenic blaze I've tried that but it still won't work for me? Idk what I'm doing wrong

[woven drift]

@finite cargo have you curved the path underneath?

[scenic blaze]

can you show a before and after of what's happening when you try to place?

[finite cargo]

@finite cargo have you curved the path underneath?
@woven drift yes :/

ok hold on I just got it to work. idk why it never worked before but it just did!

[ancient terrace]

Any good outside workshop designs? Trying to find some good ones.

[scenic blaze]

yayayay

[sacred siren]

You need to place the custom design path

[ember kestrel]

I'm building one right now but it's not very good loool

[sacred siren]

Not just the custom design tile

[deft lotus]

Just got five stars for the second time

[woven drift]

Damn, congrats!

[drowsy shoal]

@sick beacon Just a heads up, too. You can't change the beach, any rocks along the shore, or the placement of your two rivers mouths. So I'm not sure if your house area to the right will be possible.

[woven drift]

I feel insecure now

Does anyone have any pictures or suggestions etc about making a decent island entrance if you don't have much room before Res servs? i've got maybe 5 tiles..

[lyric bramble]

@woven drift dont worry about trying to make ur whole island look crazy. im only done with a third of my stuff and it got to 5 stars.
you'll get something great in no time

[woven drift]

Thanks @lyric bramble

[winter mesa]

Hmm

[clever plank]

Yeah i got 5 stars 60% through, it comes on its own but isabelle needs to stop hating on trees wtf

[spark badger]

I will pay 20,00 if someone can get the painting of: when the plane flys perfectly (that one

[scenic blaze]

@woven drift what kind of aesthetic are you going for?

[spark badger]

The design

[woven drift]

undecided at the minute, but I'm thinking natural/foresty. @scenic blaze That's why I'm struggling, no room to do cliffs etc.

[scenic blaze]

you're in luck! i have six spaces between res services and the beach and that's my theme

[scenic blaze]

here's some inspo i saved that is NOT mine https://twitter.com/mori__tsumu/status/1253584047248306176

[azure night]

does anyone want to help me 😭 I don’t know where I should put my shops and stuff

[woven drift]

thanks 🙂 I'll have a look through!

[clever plank]

@azure night make a commercial area! I put mine on a cliff near the residential services and made a fenced off diner, park, etc

[coarse flicker]

i have no clue what to do with my island, i really want a naturey theme, i think that’s going pretty well so far but the rest of it is pretty empty, any ideas what i should do behind the shopping district?

[sacred siren]

Shopping area? Look no further than this insane person’s build

[bold mirage]

Woah.

[sacred siren]

Ikr

Wish I’d thought of that

[azure night]

That’s crazy

[bold mirage]

I haven’t really thought of making a real marketplace yet

[azure night]

Someone should come to my island and help me ☺️

[sharp stump]

There was one I saw that replicated Tokyo ish since they used servers as buildings haha

[bold mirage]

Though I may make one outside of my clifftop orchard

[woven drift]

Some people are so clever and creative

[clever plank]

Ikr i see people test the limits of the game by using every furniture item cleverly

[bold mirage]

Do you guys think I should have my flowers separate from my orchard or part of it?

[sacred siren]

It’s so hard to do that without time travelling

[lyric bramble]

but its more satisfying

in the end result

[sacred siren]

It’s so hard for me to not time travel, I haven’t done it yet and I don’t hope to do it later on

[woven drift]

Depends on the space you have

I think once you do it, it'll be way too hard to stop.

[bold mirage]

Good point.

[woven drift]

I only time travel forward one day then back to speed up moving all my houses etc

[sacred siren]

I have no space at all

[drowsy shoal]

I've only time-traveled if I need to move buildings. That way I can focus on terraforming around everything, since that also takes a ton of time in its own right.

[woven drift]

I didn’t fancy it taking 2 weeks to move everything

[narrow solstice]

me too

[sick beacon]

@drowsy shoal my map has that area already! I was doing nothing with it before :)

[sacred siren]

This took so long without time travelling

[lyric bramble]

props

[versed mural]

Does anyone with a beautiful island take visitors? I would love to just explore for inspiration 🖤 I’ll tip and not linger forever lol

[woven drift]

what the helll

[bold mirage]

I like that waiting gives me something to look forward to. I can be excited that moved a house so I can work on a project the next day.

[lyric bramble]

same

[woven drift]

What’s that at the top of your map?

[narrow solstice]

i would open mine but it’s only like 50% full the rest isn’t complete yet

[woven drift]

Me too

[drowsy shoal]

That's Redd's ship, the dude that sells art

[sacred siren]

Mhm

[loud steeple]

This isnt my FULL town, just a small part that i finally,finished! This is the one thing im really happy with😅

[azure night]

My island is so sad right now 😭

[elfin python]

does anyone have park areas? i need some inspo

[sacred siren]

I already have max inclines so I can’t make an incline down there

[woven drift]

that's a great start, though!

[bold mirage]

I’ve not done a lot of work on my island until recently so it doesn’t look great

[sacred siren]

I made the beach area up there trashed with oil and boxes

[azure night]

I have so much space left and don’t know what to do with it

[woven drift]

I just keep hating what I do and redoing it all lmao

[bold mirage]

Yay climate change!

[sacred siren]

Yay....

[loud steeple]

@azure night ooh, i like the houses layouts!

[narrow solstice]

i have this mini park intersection area!

[bold mirage]

Leif is glaring at you from somewhere far away

[loud steeple]

I also have alot od space left, i have a total of one part done

[sacred siren]

I really feel like I have way too much water

[lyric bramble]

wheres ur map

[sacred siren]

Scroll up

It’s Bellacosia

[narrow solstice]

me too, i have a neighborhood with islands for the homes

[lyric bramble]

that is pretty big

[worthy pagoda]

game needs to give me a feng shui bonus for this

[sacred siren]

I agree

[woven drift]

You could try making a mini island in the middle of the lake?

Woah

[narrow solstice]

that’s so cool!!

[verbal elk]

People with resident services close to the airport, what did you do for your entrances? I have like, no idea of what to do with mine 😔

[loud grail]

I like to make my town with the editors online before committing to it, but I can't figure out what to do with that bottom right sort of section. I'm not like innnn love with it.

[sacred siren]

It ruins the feel

[bold mirage]

The best villages put water around each house so the villagers can’t interact with each other at all...

[ember sand]

Anyone else have a forest/campsite theme? I would like to draw inspiration

[sleek ether]

Anyone have any ideas on how I should layout everything?

[sacred siren]

@ember sand

My island is not forest themed but my campsite is

[bold mirage]

@ember sand my best forest advice is to make it disorganized and to use bug models so it looks like there’s always wildlife.

[verbal elk]

@loud grail maybe you could move that one separated house to a neighborhood and make a park or a forest there

[silver bough]

Does anyone have there white wood fences?

[sacred siren]

Those are log stakes

[narrow solstice]

this is my map so far

[sacred siren]

Just customized white

[silver bough]

;n; idk how

[ember sand]

👀

[loud grail]

@verbal elk I was thinking that but I keep overthinking it

[ivory geyser]

Providing island labor for 100k! We will pull weeds, arrange flowers, plant flowers, do orchards, ect.

[sacred siren]

Cool idea

[lyric bramble]

lel. interesting service though.

[sacred siren]

I’d pay 30k to each person who came over and watered flowers with me

[woven drift]

I can make you a load of wood stakes if you give me mats

[sacred siren]

For breeding

[woven drift]

There should be a labouring thread haha

[uncut goblet]

Ooh

[lyric bramble]

is that actually real

[sacred siren]

Yes

[fair veldt]

anyone can show me the airport entrance i need some ideas...

[polar dagger]

@fair veldt a seating area

[uncut goblet]

Seating and snacks

[elfin python]

Do you guys think it would be weird to put my museum on the area where the incline goes down?

[woven drift]

Not at all!

Right side museum - left side some open air fossl displays, benches and flowers maybe, for example.

[elfin python]

ohh okay ty!

[bold mirage]

When in doubt add flowers ^

[sick beacon]

hey guys! I redid some of the layout, still kind of iffy with what to do with the beach and also the ? areas !! Any idead? ❤️

[woven drift]

I was in doubt, @bold mirage

[lyric bramble]

@sick beacon you could make a hedhe maze or something in that bottom left area

hedge*

[finite cargo]

Put this in misc qr too but here you go!!

[lyric bramble]

lol

[sick beacon]

cute!!

[lyric bramble]

he's there in spirit.

[finite cargo]

don't tell me that's not genius

[ember kestrel]

hi guys quick thing!!! two very different shed concepts, which one you vibin? for me it's the first but I wish there was a better choice for fencing than corral or brick

[ember sand]

I like coral more

[woven drift]

I like both! i prefer the first personally though.

[orchid willow]

first is super cute

[sick beacon]

first is cute 😍

[scenic blaze]

i like the first more also

[finite cargo]

first is better!

[ember kestrel]

okay cool! I might tweak it a little now. thank you guys

[woven drift]

L or R?

[lyric bramble]

left

[finite cargo]

left

[scenic blaze]

agree

[ember kestrel]

yeah left

[lyric bramble]

makes more sense

[woven drift]

Awesome, ty all.

[kindred yarrow]

yeah itd make more sense to have the hedges covered by fence

[orchid willow]

how are you guys getting inspiration for your island :(

[kindred yarrow]

looks good (:

[mystic gazelle]

Does the exterior of my house count

Im in love with the customization

[kindred yarrow]

I have a big empty space to work with, ideas?

[mystic gazelle]

What do you have so far?

[lyric bramble]

whats it by

[kindred yarrow]

I have 5 stars but I wanna redo a lot of it. It's hard to explain. Are you free to come by?

[short shadow]

retweet if you cried

[desert pond]

Make a turnip prison

[mystic gazelle]

Cafe or library or both

[kindred yarrow]

I have both

[mystic gazelle]

Orchard?

[kindred yarrow]

I had one before but I didn'tlike it

[woven drift]

Hedge maze/flower garden mixed together?

[mystic gazelle]

Picnic with pond or zen garden

[topaz sphinx]

Yawn

[desert pond]

Do you have a turnip prison

[kindred yarrow]

Maybe, that might be cool. I have both of those too LMFAO

[loud grail]

I think I've finally decided my design and now I'm going to terraform my whole island :'^)

[kindred yarrow]

TUrnips aren't worth anything bc the bell market is ruined rip

[lyric bramble]

gl

[topaz sphinx]

Hailie, you looking for inspiration?

[woven drift]

Who's house is the bottom right @loud grail 😄

[lyric bramble]

lol yeah bells are out

[ember kestrel]

good luck! looks very nice

[woven drift]

can someone help me with transparency stuff? like i want the default stone path in black

[kindred yarrow]

Check dm Cirrus hehe

[mystic gazelle]

Some people like having a playground

[loud grail]

@woven drift I've yet to decide. Probably Roscoe. I'd imagine he would love to live in a secluded forest area 😊

[woven drift]

cute!

i'm half tempted to make a second account on my switch purely so i could have another house on my island to place, Also tempted to add like 3 more and keep them in tents for a bigger campground

[patent sky]

Time to move a million flowers and remake the natural onsen lolol

[loud grail]

@woven drift Imagine the extra storage of having another player tho!

[ornate mortar]

yeah im currently hybrid breeding aswell

[glacial rivet]

looking for inspiration for my island !! dm me if you have some cool ideas/pictures from your island !!

[woven drift]

true that, I'm practically full already lmao

[eager spoke]

looking for inspiration for my island !! dm me if you have some cool ideas/pictures from your island !!
@glacial rivet same here

[latent heart]

ok guys I need help. It was a few days ago but I saw an image somewhere, could've been on here or maybe reddit, and it was a path made of arched stone going between houses but it had a tree every so often in the middle and the path kinda splits and runs parallel with itself. I had it as a reference image but I lost it. Has anyone seen anything like that?

[patent sky]

I'm back now and some peeps wanted me to open so I will when I finish fixing this one thing

[bold mirage]

Good islands practice social distancing by trapping all of the villagers

[versed crag]

bye guys see you

tomorow

[bold mirage]

Bye

[finite cargo]

I'm back now and some peeps wanted me to open so I will when I finish fixing this one thing
@patent sky when everyone leaves lmk and you can come over!!

[patent sky]

Oh I didn't get your friend req for some reason D:

[dusk fjord]

Hi i need ideas on what to put in this giant empty space

[clever turtle]

Guys should I do hedge-country-hedge or full on hedges??

[patent sky]

And if you come here I can send it over, switch friends I guess have to visit before they go on your friends list

[finite cargo]

Oh I didn't get your friend req for some reason D:
@patent sky do you have your friend requests turned off?

[woven drift]

hedge- country, looks really nice! @clever turtle

[ember kestrel]

what if I lined my whole shed with custom designed simple panels... ugh now I have to buy a ton of them lol

[coarse flicker]

does this look any good? i’m putting this in the middle of a lake with little bits to hop on

[sacred siren]

Each place I marked is a different area and serves a purpose, should I label?

[patent sky]

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

[stiff scroll]

I need to get one of those simple panels

[finite cargo]

omg it said it sent but now it says it didn't let me try again

[woven drift]

Looks awesome, @coarse flicker

[clever turtle]

Hedge country hedge it iss

[ember kestrel]

it fell out of a balloon for me! but I haven't ordered more on the catalog

[spare bone]

anyone have some cool outdoor cafe ideas ? looking for some inspiration 😌

[patent sky]

I think I forgot to close my gates before I put my switch to sleep and that's why

[ember kestrel]

@sacred siren I'd be interested!

[dusk fjord]

i already have a cafe and i’m going for a natural theme so i think a little park will be cute

[sacred siren]

Mk

[woven drift]

I wish there was a way to add text to ingame maps

you could name all your landmarks

[patent sky]

You kinda can on the switch gallery

[eager pecan]

How much plot are you guys giving your villagers? I was giving them yards and shit making their space about 7x9 squares but now that I laid them out, the plots look huge on the map.

[woven drift]

Yeah- but i'm thinking in game, imagine opening another players map to find out what they called each area etc

[shy copper]

Idk what to do with my isle xD

[finite cargo]

anyone have a cute "farmers market" sign design? Im not getting any responses in #custom-design-help🎨

[patent sky]

Ohhh that would be neat

[tardy kelp]

My airport is slightly off to the right of my town hall. I feel a straight path up would be ugly, what should I do?

[woven drift]

Horizontal path?

[ornate mortar]

just do a split path that goes left and right from your airport

[tardy kelp]

It’s like 2 holes to the right

[buoyant gate]

@tardy kelp Ugh I feel you, my airport is so close to the town hall and it's not even😔

[tardy kelp]

That’s what I’m thinking 99 just don’t know what to use to break it up

[ornate mortar]

a fountain?

[tardy kelp]

@buoyant gate yeah lol exact same issue

Yeah will give it ago and a path around, I’m just starting to design and I feel so overwhelmed 😂

[rare dragon]

Does this hurt your eyes or does this look good?

[ornate mortar]

it hurts my eyes tbh

[scenic blaze]

i'm not a fan sorry

[woven drift]

Not sure on the dark grey mixed with the other two.

[tardy kelp]

A no from me too 😂

[ember kestrel]

it's easy to go overboard with that style of path, I know I did before

[finite cargo]

yeah that's harsh

[clever turtle]

It looks interesting but then you think about it again and its like nahh..

[rare dragon]

Any suggestions on what to do keep it grass?

[hollow bear]

Hey all, I'm looking for cool ways to build my inclines. Anyone see great design ideas?

[ember kestrel]

could also incorporate water features

[ornate mortar]

put a fountain with some benches and make a little relax/park area

[woven drift]

Try just swapping out the dark grey with the other two colours first, see if that looks better? They blend better together.

[knotty nexus]

I built a festival stage 🤷🏻‍♀️

[buoyant gate]

Can anyone send some pics of cottage-core theme islands I could use for inspiration. It can be your island or another one you've seen:)

[ember kestrel]

very lit

[bold mirage]

As a musician that stage makes me very happy

[true patrol]

Im trying to decorate my orchard anyone know where i could find some signs for it?

[tight hawk]

any of yall have good designs for really compact orchards?

[bold mirage]

People have custom designs for fruit signs all over the internet. I bet even a quick google search would bring up some designs.

[marble portal]

Can someone give guide how to/what to put in large empty spaces behind buildings. I have my Nooks right next to my entrance of the airport

[bold mirage]

When in doubt add flowers.

[marble portal]

It's a huuge patch

[rich tundra]

Made a lot of progress with my island layout! ( ignore most housing placements& pathing and left side unfinished)

[woven drift]

Can you show, Sinnto?

[bold mirage]

Trees? Adds more greenery

[marble portal]

Yep! One second

[regal finch]

@true patrol like fruit signs?

[drowsy shoal]

After taking some inspo from here this morning, I added a placeholder for the Turnip Farm and thought of an idea for the limited space I have for the grand entrance.

It looks ugly on the map but hopefully it'll look elegant in-game...? (I'm thinking stacked waterfall stars decorated on stepping stones.)

[bold mirage]

Unless you want a more city like feel. Then maybe make it like a back parking lot.

[woven drift]

@rich tundra Your elevation looks interesting! Looking cool so far!

[true patrol]

@regal finch yeah

[bold mirage]

@drowsy shoal I really like your island design!

[regal finch]

@true patrol i posted custom designs for the fruit online, if you go to my Instagram Lycaenope all the codes for it are there

[ember kestrel]

Made a lot of progress with my island layout! ( ignore most housing placements& pathing and left side unfinished)
@rich tundra yasss you also had the idea to put cliffs around the beaches! I'll be doing that as well, but with entrance points here and there

[rich tundra]

@woven drift thx! I have a small addiction to hills lol. It hasn’t been kind to my terraforming time haha

[true patrol]

@regal finch ty!

[marble portal]

basically a bit too much empty space but I can't make it more natural

[latent heart]

ok guys I need help. It was a few days ago but I saw an image somewhere, could've been on here or maybe reddit, and it was a path made of arched stone going between houses but it had a tree every so often in the middle and the path kinda splits and runs parallel with itself. I had it as a reference image but I lost it. Has anyone seen anything like that?

[drowsy shoal]

Thank you @bold mirage !!! I haven't done much yet to the real island. So I think today will mostly be leveling everything and moving buildings. 😭

[shadow temple]

Wanna share my map layout progress with y'all ^^

[marble portal]

behind the nooks

[regal finch]

@true patrol https://www.instagram.com/p/B-VZmEJDtvm/?igshid=172uqytos4nve

[ember kestrel]

omgggg you started with ursala too

I'm so happy

[shadow temple]

Ursala is very sweet

[woven drift]

Because of how tall Nooks is, it's kind of wasted space- you can definitely stlll do stuff with it, of course, but i'd be tempted to move the shop back and make a seating area in front maybe.

Can still do behind, just some of it may be blocked- but that's no matter.

[neat field]

any cool ideas to take up space? I have a whole area I need to fill in 😅

[rich tundra]

@ember kestrel nice! It essentially lowers the land area about 20% lol, but give the island a nice closed in, non tropical feel. I’m going forest

[ember kestrel]

farms, nature walks, picnic, grill area, playground

[marble portal]

@woven drift Yeaah that's how it feels too; But I wanted it closer to the front so it's easier to access

[drowsy shoal]

Yeah, the spaces behind the buildings are frustrating. I just marked mine off as a turnip farm/storage. So that it's somewhat not as visible but when you're there, it'll be cute and have some purpose.

I saw some pics here earlier that make it look like a cute farm area.

[shadow temple]

Anyone have designs that incorporate the Silo on hand to share? I want to use one but have no idea how to decorate around it

[ember kestrel]

@rich tundra oh for sure. I enjoy the closed in cozy feeling, this is my campsite

[raven galleon]

anyone have designs for front entrances?

[bold mirage]

Nature trail!

[woven drift]

Cute!

[indigo dirge]

Any 5 star islands that wanna give me a tour? Please dm me I’m tryna find inspiration for my island

[tawny glacier]

guys im starting to think dobie is the rarest villager ever, i am looking everywhere for him but can't find him anywhere, ive used NMT and searched the villager trade for hours

[woven drift]

There's loads of 5 star tours on youtube!

[neat field]

long day of terraforming 😅

[ember kestrel]

I can't say I've seen a lot of him

[neat field]

@tawny glacier I got him last night

[craggy bluff]

thoughts ? need some help :/

[brisk river]

What are the different colors available for streetlamps?

[woven drift]

I have white, I know there's black, and green.

[tawny glacier]

@neat field , give or your kneecaps

[craggy bluff]

I have brown

[brisk river]

I have brown.

[marble portal]

I have black

[brisk river]

Do the black look identical to the ones in the plaza?

[verbal osprey]

whats harder to pull off? modern theme or natural theme?

[ember kestrel]

I think I have green and I hate it!!!!

[woven drift]

I think so yes

[scenic blaze]

yeah black look identical to the plaza ones

i have black and can confirm

[marble portal]

Yeah black is identical

[ember kestrel]

I would like white, I enjoy the white accents being around

[bold mirage]

Probably modern because natural involves a lot of things already there like trees and stuff.

[indigo pulsar]

hi im trying to terraform my island to look like terrace rice paddies (planning on replacing the white flowers with green mums) but im not sure if its going well! 👉👈

[woven drift]

I'm 99% sure that streetlamps have the same colour swatches as the iron garden chairs and tables.

[brisk river]

Can someone post an image of white streetlamps?

[ornate mortar]

yeah gimme a sec

[kindred ocean]

where did you guys put your house?

I'm not really satisfied with my starting position atm

[rich tundra]

@ember kestrel green for me too and I love it haha

[kindred ocean]

might put it on the highest cliff

[woven drift]

This is white, though indoor.

[ember kestrel]

that's good lol. you are going for more of the rustic vibe than I am

[brisk river]

Super cute.

[ember kestrel]

I'd like 20

[drowsy shoal]

I saw someone that claimed to use "extra houses" to double as a restaurant and coffee shop. If you're a single-player island, would that maybe mean making an extra account so you can use a second villager and then just repurposing their house....?

[scenic blaze]

yes

[woven drift]

i've been tempted to do the same! But also keep some as tents.

[drowsy shoal]

Oh, interesting!

[ornate mortar]

Here white lanterns + house position

[woven drift]

Just make more switch profiles and they can have houses.

[drowsy shoal]

Would I, the sole player, have full control over the house upgrades, layout designs, etc?

[brisk river]

THank you @ornate mortar

[drowsy shoal]

Or would I have to offload money and furniture from my main villager — to pick up with the other villager?

[twin shuttle]

looking for some help creating an island layout!! willing to pay 200+ NMT

[woven drift]

pick up with other villager.

[brisk river]

I'm going to have to just work with the native brown lamps I have.

[woven drift]

They need their own money to pay off loans, etc-

[ember kestrel]

when I was 11 that's what I did on city folk in my second village. first secondary house was my restaurant, and the third house was a beach resort. I had big plans lol

[drowsy shoal]

Hahaha

[still panther]

I saw someone that claimed to use "extra houses" to double as a restaurant and coffee shop. If you're a single-player island, would that maybe mean making an extra account so you can use a second villager and then just repurposing their house....?
@drowsy shoal wait but i might do that that’s actually smart

[woven drift]

However! all switch accounts get island designer.

So you can design the island in any.

[drowsy shoal]

Wow, this is amazing confirmation for me. Opens up some new ideas. I want to use one as an arcade for my 2nd tier amusement park area.

How many max player-based villagers can you have?

[still panther]

i have 3 other switch accounts 🤑

[worthy tendon]

i’ve seen people use extra characters houses as like bars and they’re so cute

[woven drift]

I know you can have 8 players on an island at one time.. I've assumed it's the same re living.

[still panther]

it’s 4

[woven drift]

Oh.

[still panther]

i’m pretty sure

[uncut goblet]

I'm gonna be making a restuarant and a cat cafe with two houses

[ember kestrel]

I hear a lot of mixed opinions. I heard it was 8 but I'm pondering the logic of that

[ornate mortar]

Hybrid breeding takes forever bru

[drowsy shoal]

Can I eventually get rid of extra villagers + their houses, if I change my mind?

[woven drift]

Yes.

[wicked drift]

how does other switch accounts work in terms of getting them to live on your main accounts island?

[woven drift]

All in settings you can, as the island rep, delete other villagers at whim.

[still panther]

I hear a lot of mixed opinions. I heard it was 8 but I'm pondering the logic of that
@ember kestrel yeah, it would be quite a crowded island with 8

[sand sedge]

Checkout the approach to my house

[woven drift]

@wicked drift only switch profiles on the same machine can live on the same island. they can't have their own, they're automatically added to the one created.

@sand sedge must be so pretty at night

[true patrol]

I want to put the labels for my orchard on those sign posts but i dont have the diy

[sand sedge]

it's pretty good at night too ya 😄

[drowsy shoal]

Wow, awesome, thanks so much guys! Repurposing the extra villager houses is gonna be amazing. My only qualm is I wish their avatars wouldn't show up on the map. lol

[woven drift]

Haha yeah..

[still panther]

Wow, awesome, thanks so much guys! Repurposing the extra villager houses is gonna be amazing. My only qualm is I wish their avatars wouldn't show up on the map. lol
@drowsy shoal omg ikr

[ember kestrel]

I want to put the labels for my orchard on those sign posts but i dont have the diy
@true patrol same here

[sand sedge]

can you use the storage of the other villager's house?

[woven drift]

I also don't like how you can't change the house designs without upgrading fully. i want to customise the outside but keep them one room.

[drowsy shoal]

Oh shoot, that's a good point...

[woven drift]

yes, but only on that profile. You can't share storage, to my knowledge

[ember kestrel]

I hated my exterior the whole time...

[still panther]

can you use the storage of the other villager's house?
@sand sedge if you are on their profile yes

[sand sedge]

darn thent hat's kinda useless

[wicked drift]

@wicked drift only switch profiles on the same machine can live on the same island. they can't have their own, they're automatically added to the one created.
@woven drift so if i make another account and start ac they automatically come to my island?

[still panther]

yes

[drowsy shoal]

Also I just realized... NPC villagers never go into houses though, right? Slightly defeats the purpose for me personally if I'll never see them interact with the things inside...

[lyric bobcat]

Can anyone help me out I got to many flowers and I want to clear them out so I can make my island look better

[woven drift]

If you make another profile on your switch, Timmy and Tommy will welcome them and congratulate them on joining your island, yes. @wicked drift

[still panther]

Also I just realized... NPC villagers never go into houses though, right? Slightly defeats the purpose for me personally if I'll never see them interact with the things inside...
@drowsy shoal ah, i’m doing it just for my friends to come hang out lol

[wicked drift]

ooo thanks guys gonna make a movie theatre with the extra houses

[old sigil]

Can i see some entrances? I need inspo
