That's true @still panther ! I still wish the NPC villagers can take part, though. 90% of my playtime is offline. Hm. I'll still think on it.
i’m so happy i came here i didn’t know i could do that haha 😂 this unlocks many opportunities for my island
Yeah, I'm so glad I asked. Thank you all, again! ❤️
Sorry, one last question, if I were to do all 4 human houses, I'm assuming none of my current 10 NPC villagers will be affected / moved out?
Correct.
plus, me and my friend are battling to see who’s island is better and this is a big step up rather than making a diner or a movie theater outside
can you guys show me your entrances? i’m redoing mine and need inspiration
i really will only need the one expanded room for each
"During a recent interview with IGN, Animal Crossing developer Aya Kyogoku revealed that up to eight players can live together on a single New Horizons island, using the eight playable accounts on a Nintendo Switch system."
Whoa! lol
@indigo pulsar no I just got them from the flower dude it’s pretty much all pansy plants
looking for some help creating an island layout!! willing to pay 200+ NMT. DM me please!
You can potentially make a whole plaza that you can actually enter and interact with. That's so cool.

@woven drift wow, but i’m thinking how the island would get crowded
do you have to take care of all those accounts or can you just play on your main after they move in lol?
The map + list of villagers, if anything, will look crowded as hell. But once you set everything up, you and your NPC villagers will be the only ones running around anyways.
Ok so this is what I have so far on my island and what I deem necessary to label
It’s messy, I did it on my phone cuz I was lazy
This was in island designer, not in game- but here's a map design with lots of players.
lmao my town is overrun with cosmos and other flowers my friends gave me @lyric bobcat
seen it floating around a bit
yall vibing?
Wow nice progress since this morning! It's looking good.
But the grassy area to the right on cells C7 and D7 is why earlier, I mentioned you can't edit the beach.
This includes terraforming outwards into the sea like that.
You also can't move the pier or resident services ^^
@indigo pulsar I’ve been selling them all i got like no space it’s super out of hand
that's about where my resident services is. but your map concept is so well done!
does anyone have any inspiration for island entrances? I’ve hit a massive block with my island and want to do it over again but have no idea where to start! 💛
Still might add a few things here and there but this zen area kinda just... happened lol
@lyric bobcat if i clear up some space i might like some pansies lol im just tryna fill my 'rice paddies' with white mums rn
everything still needs touching up, but i’m finally going to start working on the right side of my island~~
@indigo pulsar I definitely have some lol
WOW love the area with the two player houses!!!
Bois i finally got dobie 😎 after hours of searching in trade channels
My market spam!!
Oops
Ok so this is what I have so far on my island and what I deem necessary to label
@sacred siren you did a wonderful job. I gave up on my island being anywhere near this organized a long time ago lool, for me what happens happens. so far it's entailing a whole lot of redoing
@drowsy shoal ty!!! i’m leaving that to fix last 😛
I’m probably not gonna redo anything lol
that’s so pretty oh my goodness!!! @ornate mortar
I am so lazy and what I have is fine but not amazing
Thank you
Seeing what some of you guys have done makes me want to redo mine😭
If I dont like the direction my island is going should I just restart or keep going (I haven't finished the story yet)
just fix it don't restart! tweak it little by little!
restarting kills your motivation a little from my experience!
@sick beacon that is amazing!!! I may take some ideas from you if that’s ok! I’m struggling with my island 😦
its not going to be perfect right away
I restarted- but I only did that as i rushed gameplay to avoid getting spoiled, and I prefer a slower playthrough and so wasn't attatched to my villagers or anything, I'm much happier this time around.
personally if I got that feeling of wanting to restart while I was still in the first week (tutorial) I probably would have. but then I got attached
By flattened I mean completely destroyed all cliffs to start over
thats fine!! tysm : ) @frank wigeon
would anyone be willing to show off their island entrances? I feel like the rest of my island is coming together but the entrance is stumping me!
I low key want to flatten mine but what do I do with my villagers there just placed randomly lol
Beach
Yes
yes!
I put all my villagers and shops etc on the beach until I've terraformed it compeltely to my liking.
I’d say you should add pine trees and bamboo
does anyone have a rainbow garden?
fellas, how’s this look?
That looks great @ornate mortar ! And a great example of not needing a ton of vertical space to make it look great. I'm struggling with my entrance as well.
More I mean
That’s my entrance If you go right instead of into the park
should i add anything else?
You could add weeds or messy path
I personally would add some more greenery
It looks solid though
I personally would add some more greenery
@woven drift yeah me too, but there isnt much room
I wanted to show off my half finished museum ara! I gave Blathers a little speech space, but do you know if there is some kind of a microphone furniture to put on top of the table?
@ornate mortar , mind sending a pic of your overhead map? Wanted to see the square footage and layout of your entrance. Seems like we might have a pretty close amount of space between the airport and resident services
To refer to my design again, you can see the path variation that goes in a direction but also everywhere
@drowsy shoal
It’s just really small, that’s the only problem
guys i need some assistance with making my orchard w decoration too, can some of u guys send what you've done ?
i havent done one yet
My orchard just serves as trees to look down on from my shopping area, there is just pathing in between the 1x1 spaces between trees
Im currently hybrid breeding flowers on the left side that’s why it’s looking so empty lol
Thank you @ornate mortar !!! It's a similar layout but you do have more vertical space. Mine will also go up then to the right. But I have less space to work with.
There are a few bushes and some corral fences on the opposite cliff side, it’s just very compact and not meant to be scenic
Any ideas on what to put on this little area? The museum entrance is right behind me. I was thinking in a little museum shop but idk since it's so close to the beach
Fountain, market, playground, or a shrine
Summer cafe?
small market, flower area, or a beach area
Got a cafe already
Don't let the beach stop you- you could bury things and make it like a children's dig site!
or a board walk!
Fountain, market, playground, or a shrine
@sacred siren xD shrine is the best suggestion
A museum merch booth would be cute!
XDDD yeah
A museum merch booth would be cute!
@drowsy shoal that's what I was thinking about
I have a boardwalk
The only problem with it is that it’s hard to decorate it properly
im gonna move Bobs house to make a cafe area
That was a lot of work haha
I have things like my house and graveyard path come from it
I link other paths to the boardwalk so it doesn’t seem bland
And then that's a tiki bar on the left
Neat
Thanks guys! I thing I'm gonna go with the museum merch
anyone have fortune telling area/magic forest inspo
i see people make graveyards, but i dont wanna do that because i dont want to think about death in my cute little animal game
which one?
anyone know of a cute farmers market sign code? I can't get any responses in #custom-design-help🎨
@prime vine this is the Tarantueller
depends what youre gonna do with your town
ffs Marek.. smh.
Now it’s surrounded by bushes and stuff but
LOL I LOVE THAT
looking at this channel is making me wanna burn my island
amazing and horrifying
Plus I’m arachnophobic
looking at this channel is making me wanna burn my island
@high ether lol same
Have no idea where to place shops and museum
I’m planning on doing a little cafe area on the right but midway through putting wooden planks down I was wondering would stone pathing work better?
Backtracking a bit to the convo earlier, but my second house will probably be repurposed as the main building in my amusement park section. I'm thinking:
• Main room: restaurant / dining area
• Backroom: employees-only kitchen
• Upstairs room: arcade and entertainment
Should I bother with the left room, right room, and basement? If so, any ideas as to what they can be?
Plus I’m arachnophobic
@sacred siren same xD
Maybe one side can be a movie theater?
Either the stone or the zen bridge (not the red one) I'd say.
Lol
I've severely neglected my beaches. They're barren.'

@drowsy shoal i love that idea!
I'm going absolutely mental because I want to keep my diagonal cliffs, but fences don't go diagonally... so I try to make the cliffs even, and there's this weird overlay
@neon oar shops would look cute on the left side along inside path
If anyone wants to come to my island to give feedback/ideas, dm me ^_^
Put trees and shell stools on them
I've severely neglected my beaches. They're barren.'
@finite cargo mine are full of flowers rn xD
Between the floor and the cliff
@drowsy shoal you'll have to get the left and right rooms in order to get the upstairs so you might as well think of a use
my beaches are filled with beach chairs, wave breakers, and im gonna make a bunch if coconut juice things
Also fishing stuff, maybe make a boardwalk attraction like a teacup ride there
Ah, you're right, thank you @scenic blaze
@prime vine thanks! I have a temporary flower garden there and was thinking about museum on the cliff
Nice sketch
i love it!
WHY DID I DELETE IT
idk, why DID you delete it?
It was too beautiful for human eyes
yeah lol
What did you delete? XD
Hi all, im trying to design my island and make it look good, but I feel like it's missing something. Im still in the process of it but i feel like im going in the wrong direction, does anybody want to help me out? DM me if you are, thx!
ok again
How come there's this weird overlap between layers?
yeah i hate that
i felel like houses are weird
why?
funno
d*
for a restuarant the basement could be used as storage? like putting some fish & fruit boxes down there lmao
Make the hot springs volcano-ey
yeah! i love it!
and the attic could possibly be private dining?
Make the hot springs volcano-ey
@sacred siren Like in botw!
Maybe put a restaurant near it
@sacred siren like how
Oh that's a great idea for the restaurant basement
Custom design paths
Made a cool fountain thingy
Rocky items and bamboo
I'm trying to keep my islands natural aesthetic but it's made it hard to build fencing... what should I do?
hm hm
Also bushes
bushesssss
Make it look natural but also not, have like wood paths and stuff through the mountainous terrain
Use staggered fencing.
Staggered?
I planned my island for bushes when the datamine for them was found
no more than two/three pieces connected at once, and hint at the fence, rather than place.
I'll grab a pic, hold on.
It was a really good decision as I have so many now
Can I get opinions? first or second? The second I would put purple roses on each side
does anyone know the size of the fountain? (from nook miles)
Like 3 by 3 I think
Booty
nice
Perfection
ty
np!
cute
I like the first one @gray gate It has a better visual balance of water + flowers
First is much better
And it looks a lot more open and cleaner
Thank you!!
For instance I'm trying to make this zen area at the top right of my island, but the natural shape of the river makes fencing it off harder
I don't know why diagonal fences aren't a thing
You could make a water basin and that would give you the option to flatten o that area of water
That would be like a large pond coming from the rivers then back to river
@sacred siren I have it running off to the bottom floor on the right side
That looks so neat
i have an idea!
Hmm
Providing island labor for 100k! We will pull weeds, arrange flowers, plant flowers, do orchards, ect.
Could put bushes or flowers at the corners and just make the fences work by making them rigid and metric like normal
finally got it to where in my main town I don't have any random trees, idk why I put that off for so long it only took me like 20 minutes to move them around
So flowers and bushes in the bare spots
keep putting down the fence until it reaches the bottom fence closest, and fill the extra space in between with flowers!
Yeah, and bushes
AND bushes
I'll try that now and show you
if island eval would drop immediately if I didn't have enough trees, correct?
It would
Quick Q: Can houses be built along a cliff edge?
No
no
Negative
nada
kk just wanted to make sure I wasn't teetering right on the edge with my 5 stars and it dropping back down to 4 tomorrow
You would be unable to access them
But it can be pressed up against another level?
Yes
if anyone has any pictures of like foresty/cottagecore islands or even twitters, please lmk! i need inspo
can someone send their entrance? i need inspo
Ok thanks! Asking because I wanted to put the extra house with its backside against a cliff
am I the only one with only like two or three inclines in my five star town? I have like 6 bridges but hardly any inclines
The rest are at very far north at that cliff edge except like 2-3 houses
would anyone be interested in watering my flowers (around 6-7 mins) for 1NMT?
I think I have 4 or 5 inclines
I have 8 ;_;
Ah okay so just to double check, I can't do this?
You can
yeah you can do that
@edgy grove @sacred siren like this?
Oh, then perfect! Ty both so much!
yeah!
You can’t place the entrance at the edge of a cliff
but do you like it?
Yes, that looks great and works well!
It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would
nice!
Remember to take as much time as you need
my moon chair area & gardens omg
nice!
Nice
I need to revamp my main shops area. Not loving it as much as I used to, now that I changed the rest of my island and love it all so much more.
Everyone’s islands are so flat with so much space
My paths are 6 wide due to walls, really they are 4 wide with walls on each side
Most of my island is water and a lot is cliff
I feel so jelly a lot
Anyone made a museum area yet? I'm undecided on how I want to do mine.
@sacred siren another issue I have is a lot of my space is taken up by trying to grow flowers
I wish you could customize those banners
Small and fits in my shopping square
Cool
mine is a 3 wide plus the fencing on each side makes it 5
Is it more or less efficient to breed only two flowers together
I was gonna do 3 wide but it didn’t match with inclines or bridges so I went with 4
My logic was the more flowers there are the more likely you are to get offspring
less
this is mine and im never changing it lmao
But these flowers are taking up a LOT of my space
do my rivers look alright? would love any suggestions on what to do
I don’t think it should change, no matter how amazing your island looks around it
lmao @ heck blathers
also can you breed flowers on beach like in nl?
It’s perfect how it is lol and yes your rivers look pretty cool
I know you can grow flowers on the beach
Really? I've not had any of mine grow.
You just can’t breed them
Or make them grow, you can plant them
I can plant them, but they haven't moved on from stage 1 haha
Bushes can also go on beaches
?
You can place palm trees on land with a sand oath
yeah nh is weird
Providing island labor for 100k! We will pull weeds, arrange flowers, plant flowers, do orchards, ect. we take request
Nice zen stuff
I feel like I’m missing something that would make this better
How do you guys make a decision with this stuff. I’ve been indecisive for three hours about how to arrange my island 😭😭😭
same
just do it, regret it, take it down, repeat
i just build and just go with the flow
In the words of Nike, "just do it" and see what happens👍
That’s why I’ve spent over 300 hours on new horizons
@pearl palm just try things. if you dont like it, change it. its not perfect the first time. trial and error
If I wanted to move a building one tile up, does that mean I have to place it in an entirely different place first and then move it again? 😔
scotch and a few hundred hours
I reached 400 hours todau lmao
yup
it’s actually pretty good and fun!
yes you do unforunately
I got the game on the 22nd
You just reminded me I have cider
Damn okay
it's really just experimenting! and @elfin python yes, sadly :(
I had to do that with my museum
Drunk animal crossing let's gooooo
heres my hours
lol those are some rookie hours
I’m in the middle of redoing my island too and it’s just a waiting game now to move the buildings
I'm kidding I'm kidding it was a joke fyi
Haven’t time travelled yet but honestly might do it for when I start moving all the houses
yeah, today im finally taking the plunge and redoing my entire island after being too worried about it looking ugly when i do :') all because of a post i saw of someone doing a cliff stall market up to the hidden beach for redd, it's super cool
but seriously I'm at 410 oops
Oh god that picture makes me feel bad about my hours
405 here
205!
I've had this game for like 4 weeks...
Hey I'm looking for feedback so I'm thinkig of a tour to make for you guys, DM if you're interested
Any ideas for path shapes other than hearts?
Ya just checked O.O
Stars, circles, squares @rare dragon
one of my friends has 475
do y'all not sleep or smth
Sleep is lame, Island construction is where its at
My wife is at 475.. Ive got a measly 185..
i hid my play activity from my switch friends because of this game
i do, and thats the problem
Eat sleep island repeat
also i have school work to do :,)
I have restless leg syndrome so I get hardly any sleep
Hey all, I just wanted some feedback on my island layout based on the map. Do you guys think it looks alright? I can explain what the larger "unlabeled" areas are, too if it's confusing.
That looks really cool
nice!
looks cool!!
Ah, thanks ☺ I was hoping it doesn't look too busy.
wait you can have friends to live with you?!
if playing on the same console :)
ohhhh coool!
yeah, you didn’t know that?
we were discussing it earlier and we think it's up to 8 people
It is
yeah
If you have multipke accounts on the switch, they share an island. I made extras as a cafe, fish shop, gym, and school, in order of the list.
oh cute idea!
thats actually so smart
Thanks! I felt like I had too much free space and wanted more than a clothes shop and general store lol
adorable idea, i wish there were more shops you could get
if anyone has any pictures of like foresty/cottagecore islands or even twitters, please lmk! i need inspo
Me, too 😭 It would've been easier than gurnishing four extra houses + paying loans to get them be
bigger lol
How much sense would it make to alternation seasonal bushes in town, so you always have something in bloom?
A lot
I wish there was a kicks shop
it's nice to have variety each season with flowers blooming i think
how many variant of bushes are they off the top of anyones head? anyone know?
I just want the clothes store to sell bags tbh
Or like an able sisters expansion that get label or Gracie involved
Hello this is ig related to island layouts but I want your guys’d opinion, should I go for the villagers I want or should I try and max out my island first?
That’d be so nice
I believe there are 8 bush types
it feels like they'll probably add more shops in down the line, or at least hope so
Max island first, don’t suffer like me
do your island first! so then the island is set up and you dont need to move houses
Alright, thanks
I saw someone mentioned the code contains info for two more shops.
Unless like a good deal comes up for a villager you want
im paying so much to move everything
yeah i'd say max island first - at least move in people you don't mind rather than spending loads of nmt only to settle on someone u hate!
I got Drago for 1.3 mil and I was happy and still am
What should I put here? Its a lower level to the campground. Maybe like some tiki torches but idk what would match with that?
I already have a bonfire and stuff too so I dont want another
picnic area would be cute
Oh that's really cute having a sunken area!!
i'm very lucky that i got my fave ever villager (lily) on the first nmt island i went to!
tiki lights would be nice
Plants and chairs
or garden lamps
Tiki lights and like a magazine or two
and i agree, i think either a picnic area, maybe a fishing spot?
Rattan might work well?
^
or stone seats w/ bamboo candle
You could make a secluded library area
not rococo where did I get that I meant rattan omg
Does anyone have a very natural/forest island that they’d let me visit? Looking for inspiration!
Same @plain lark my first nmt island I went to had maple, the best villager ever
yesss love maple!!
I already have a library espress :/
Ah rip
indeed
my first island had dizzy :)
i need help on what to put in front of my cafe>.< any suggestions?
You could use those for that area Daniela
My first island is Judy but might sell them since I wanna make a cat island
https://youtu.be/gFpuIVcRoao The quality on this video is as if it was recorded on a toaster, but rate my layout
#animalcrossing #newhorizons #tomnook #islandtour #animalcrossingnewhorizons
stalls, piano, chairs and tables
@copper lava I've got a small forest if you wanna visit it.
@woven drift yes I would love to!
@woven drift Boardwalk area?
I'm looking to incorporate some bamboo into my island for farming purposes but would like it to flow a little more naturally. Trying to avoid "asian garden" or "onsen". any other ideas?
@woven drift what does that look like lmao?
Green area,
i put my bamboo stuff by the museum
Have a lot of plants and rocks around
I'll get a dodo code set up and post it here, if any of you want to visit and look around, you can ☺
island diversity is the only thing keeping me from getting all dogs if im being honest here
i want lucky tho :(
two dogs is finee
i have 2 cats XD, rudy and felicity
same thing, it's only wanting diversity on my island that i'm not getting just normal type villagers lmao
I feel it. Will probably end up with three penguins
i have three deer and it was an accident
I dislike all sisterly villagers but you need them to learn all emotes...
is thereany way to get rid of bridges and inclines?? i’m trying to move everything from my island and destroy everything so i can build it from scratch
Uggggghhhhhhh
talk to tom nook
You can go to nook and demolish
You demolish them via talking to Tom, 10k bells eaach.
you can destroy them
ok thanks:))
@deft stump talk to tom nook! 10k each
Does anyone have a natural foresty island that I could visit for inspiration or see screenshots of?
i’m at a loss help
@main tangle take a look at my twitter island_indigo I post all my pics there!
My dodo code is BVL6X for anyone wanting to visit! Feel free to also give feedback and ideas, and also please don't mind the fact that my secondary houses are incomplete lmao
@ashen dagger simple panel!
Ty!!! i wanna make diagon alley with it
@main tangle here's my airport entrance for my foresty island https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1254063189702004737
hopefully it works
that's a cute idea, good luck with it!!
I'd remove the wood and move it back slightly @thick tendon
is there anything taller than simple panel?
omg thats so gorgeous mothra
you could stack the simple panel on like a cliff
thank you! 🙂
Can I see some of y’alls museum entrances for inspo
ofc!!
gotchu mike
🙏🏽🙏🏽
@neon oar
@neon oar
yeah like alfredoSSB said! or you could use stalls and stack them on cliffs! @ashen dagger
Woah those are so nice y’all
my museum entrance also has bushes now in that blank spot between the trees
Nice entrances
me, with my currently busted ass island as i prepare to redo the entire thing, seeing these: 
Opening my sorta-WIP island up to 5 people to explore/shop. Only conditions is that you respect the flowers and plz water a small cloning garden I have (14 flowers total). DM me if you're interested :)
I put my museum in my shopping square so I had to make the entrance so small
Providing island labor for 100k! We will pull weeds, arrange flowers, plant flowers, do orchards, ect. we take request
We have similar island names
@sacred siren i was thinking of doing something similar! Are your shops close to the museum
Amazing. So many ideas
i recently just started this game and i feel like my island is sloppy and jumbled together, some advice would be gladly appreciated :3
here's my museum 😅 pretty basic
Is there a way to put an incline at redds beach part
Yes
also @neon oar don't forget to show some love to the backside of your museum (if space applies)
Finished my farm! Got some bushes that need to grow fully but they all have their places!
I’m out of inclines so I can’t do that ;_; I even have a perfect spot
@copper lava Btw did you catch my dodo code? I didn't know if you still wanted to visit 😅
How, I've been trying but i don't know how I need to place it
@thick tendon gotcha! Hoping I have space
I stuck a fossil pit behind my museum, you could try something like that, too?
I felt the Zen statue was lacking without the wood so I tried this instead
How close can an incline be next to a bridge?
could you guys give me constructive criticism on my island, im just starting lol
I thought i'd try out a more manicured look, not sure what i think so far... My main worry is it's hard to do this and not have to carry it over through the whole island, which I don't want to do...
@elfin pythonIt needs at least a 1 block space between them
Ty!
Is the mass of water in the center of my island to square?
those who have foresty islands can you send a pic of your map so i can see what im getting into cause this looks harsh :o
Wait until you get terraforming @sacred helm
@young rose
@sacred helm with what you have going on already I think it'd be neat (and not super time consuming) to have your houses surrounded your town services/town square area in a circle
@high ether what’s is that website? Is it to create mockups?
@humble flume nice how long did that take you?
@thick tendon oo that’s really creative i didnt even think of that, thank you sm!
@humble flume your island looks incredible!! how long did that take?
@cinder dove wow that’s crazy!! Very large lake
@young rose only the circled area of mine is developed
@thick tendon @plain lark thanks, I got terraforming unlocked April 1st so this whole month so far.
the housing layourt is so smart
does anyone know where i can get the little shop stand DIY, i dont know what its called
@frank wigeon I don't see akita's post BUT there are a handful of websites to make mock layouts.
https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
I have so much water ;_;
tendo you buy it with nook miles
that thought kills my soul @humble flume I'd love to come stroll around that island though it looks so cool from the map view
It’s leveled so there’s waterfalls all the way around @frank wigeon I like it a lot but idk if it’s to square or not :o
I'm open to a few visitors, I just ask that you water a patch of a few orange lilies for me @thick tendon
@scenic blaze ty
Can people on your best friends help you flatten your island, if they also have terraforming?
Does anyone have any ideas for making this area a spiral and the lower left river area a small bay?
@humble flume could I possibly see what your house area looks like?
@drowsy shoal no
I was looking to make something like that but can’t seem to get started
@cinder dove it seems to be to square to my eye, at least!
how do i get terraforming? when do i unlock it?
Yaaaa. I want it to look more natural but idk if that’s an option
@zenith ravine once you reach 3 stars and kk visits your island you unlock it!
@zenith ravine when you hit 3 star island rating
I have no idea what to with this island, ideas?
thanks. i’m new to this game
@woven drift It might be cool to put your campsite in between the two cliffs on the left side
@prime tusk
how do i put custom designs on my Stalls
Doing some island tours rn, let me know if you'd like to join by DMing me
@tawny glacier Use customisation kits on the stall in the workbench and choose "custom"
tyvm!
Mine less so
Could I see anyone’s town maps with double south outlets. I’m kinda stumped ):
Anyone have ideas for a good dock theme for where Red docks
@tawny glacier you customize them
I made mine polluted and full of boxes and oil bins
There are also some weeds and canisters
Taking about 3 more visitors to shop/explore my tropical paradise, all I ask is that you don't pick flowers and please water a small patch of orange lilies.
Any Zelda fans here? I recreated the cemetery from A Link to the Past. https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossingTours/comments/g81jph/i_recreated_the_cemetery_from_a_link_to_the_past/
New entrance in progress just have to gather some more stuff.
Working on a small side yard
Oh my gosh I forgot we had those
I've seen some angled (diagonal) waterfalls in some of the media here, but I can't figure out how to do it. My character keeps shoveling air no matter what I try.
did you custom those paths?
Prettier when it’s not raining
that looks cool. do you have plans for the cliffs?
hey guys, sorry for all the questions, but where abouts would i be able to get a colored vending machine, the ones you get from Nook miles but different colors
You get them from other people
@tawny glacier for those, people usually trade theirs! i'm not sure if there's a channel for it, but there's definitely charts of the different colour variations of objects!
@tawny glacier you can only ever get one color! You have to get the others from people at #furniture-trade You CANNOT touch for them only buy the actual item
On that note it's really frustrating that the only pool that doesn't light up is the white one, even though visibly there's a light in the pool. I'm almost inclined to think it's a bug.
That has to be right? I didn’t even know that
My island got stuck with the white one, and nothing I do when interacting with it turns the light on.
Yeah that sucksss I have the purple one which sucks because I hate that color lol
Wondering if I should change up my blue rose garden
I'd trade you but then you'd be stuck with a pool that doesn't light up 😂
i want blue rose
I’m already stuck with that pool
opinions?? ideas??
Opinions on my river
Why can't I plant bamboo next to water? Why why why why
It’s so annoying
The restrictions in this game are wild...
someone help me out, is there a way to take those grass gaps in between tiles?
Personally I hate the incline limit
Nope
Is it 8 inclines and 8 bridges?
Yup
They give us freedom with cliffs but they say no more than 8 inclines, bridges is fine as you don’t want 80% water
@zealous sleet nice! maybe something on each side of the entrance like lamps or statues. also, I would move the swinging benches so I could sit in them
oki thank you
Providing island labor for 100k! We will pull weeds, arrange flowers, plant flowers, do orchards, ect. we take request
@ivory geyser Seems like that belongs in #flower-plants-trade
my bad
I edited the map so it says where everything is (except the extra busildings cos I forgot lol) Does it seem a little more put together now that y'all know what's in the unlabeled spaces?
does anyone have a board walk type shop thing that i can see for inspo?
I'm busy searching for something at the moment or I'd pull it up for you, but someone posted their boardwalk last night. Go to search on the top right and type in:#island-designs mentions: boardwalk and you should find it in the results
@sacred siren I also can't plant the bamboo along this upper lip, but it doesn't let me build over the lower lip either
It linked to a reddit post
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?
Oof
@sly minnow Trees need to have the 8 surrounding spaces open.
That’s really annoying
I know, but why
I have a 5 star island but I’m trying to improve it, can I come to your 5 star island for inspiration? Dm me
Can you guys post pics of your zen/bamboo areas?? In serious need of some inspiration ❤️
@sly minnow Because thems the rules I guess
Don't know what I want but I know how to get it
Do shrubs count as trees? Isabelle saying I have too many trees now
Trust me, I was mad too when I decided to make my forest on the second level 😭
slowly working ;w;
omg i love the lamps! i wish i could craft them ugh
Can someone show me their neighbour hoods? I’m trying to figure out how to format the fences for their yards
@pulsar shore this is the only part of the zen area complete. I’m gonna make a zen cafe area once I get zen chairs
i need to go back in time and get a buuunch more sakura petals xwx
These are so cool you guys give me great ideas
that looks so adorable!!
i need to go back in time and get a buuunch more sakura petals xwx
@marble plover ++++++
ok hol up I just found this while searching for something else.. I know you can break rocks and they'll relocate the next day, but how are they making them relocate somewhere specific?
I saved some Sakura pedals in case I wanted to make lanterns but .. let be honest this game has so many decorations
you can place patterns and stuff down on the ground and they won’t spawn in those spots
Yep ^^^
Yeah relocating rocks is a super labor intensive process. You have to make sure EVERY. OPEN. SQUARE. On your island is being covered by something
Like.. cover the entire island in patterns except for the spots you want them to spawn?
Yes
Holy crap
patterns or just dropping items yeah
i have no petals lol and i can't find anyone selling them
not everything. just as long as it covers their 3x3 spawn area.
Which path do i line the RS with yall?
brick goes best with resident services imo
Resident services
i have a brick area in front of my plaza
Would the roses look better with dirt pathing?
I am thonking brick as well
thank you
Should I use this layout? Or should I change it? I feel like I’m missing something...
Like a small chair or decoration or something
@civic hearth I have brick leading to the plaza and terracotta off of it
Thats so pretty!!
It'll be prettier when I make the terracotta paths symmetrical... moving villagers takes time
Bro run
oh my-
lmao
This is my new house location (:
the acnh people better come in clutch and allow us to move residential services someday...
i hate where my resident services is 😭
Same
Same
@pulsar shore i love where your house is
ty 🥺
mine is dead center 😳
lucky
lucky
I'm about to start moving stuff around terraforming my island, any advice?
Tbh I’d rather not have it moved because I did my terraforming around it
I just tried to make a zen area......
mine is like super close to the beach off to the left of the airport i hate it here
mine is similar to yours bella except to the right of the airport! i don't mind my location at all it gave me a lot of freedom with the entrance from the airport
i’m new to animal crossing so don’t mind how my island is but this is the island i picked at the beginning
that’s fair i was able to make a super cute entrance
That’s a pretty solid map
@zenith ravine that is my exact island layout when it began
Can i have some advice on terraforming lol
lol
I like having residential services right in front of my airport
what are you struggling with ben?
@sly minnow nice
The issue with that map is the thin parts
@sly minnow yeah
damn y’all have the same map
To the left of nooks cranny, and on your map towards the top right
i picked that map since once i can move my house i’m going to put it in the circle
I spent a lot of time moving my river so I had more space along the top path
my resident service is right behind that back waterfall ad cliff lol. somehow my kinda crazy idea worked
Im just scared im gonna make something and its either gonna be really hard or i wont like it
how is my island and residents? its 3*
And actually
i really dislike double south rivers
could anyone sell me some mush lamps? they'd really go with my town theme :))
@granite hemlock bro try #furniture-trade
i did, nothing
this isn’t the right channel doe
yeah ok
@zenith ravine this part here is one of the only thick parts of the river thick enough to allow a bridge
sorry guys
mush lamps are really expensive you should just wait until they're in season for you
if anyone would like to show me pics of their island for inspiration or to brag feel free to dm <3
Join the nookazon discord
sorry everyone! :))
no worries bro
Once you can terraform you can do like me and widen other parts of the river
Does anyone have pictures of a pool area? I’m looking for inspiration
@sly minnow could i save a pic of your layout so i can get some inspiration off of it
thoughts on my path to the Able Sisters?
Since I moved the bridge I now have a neighbourhood with Tammy Scoot and Audie
yeah of course you could
@sly minnow ok
I plan on swapping out the diagonal bridge
I’m trying to get rid of scoot lmfaoo
Word of advice on that; you can't properly build paths up to a diagonal bridge
@pine crest wtf why
@sly minnow ok
you can build a super cool diagonal path IMO
I’m not a fan of jock villagers
Do fish spawn in the north ocean?
my starting villagers are bam and reneigh. and bam has the the same bday as me
He replaced Sylvana who moved out naturally
Can I see how you guys did your pond areas?
so the rivers that will let u use a vaulting pole are the ones that will let you place bridges
You can use a vaulting pole anywhere as long as it's between 2/3-5 units wide
ok
1-2 units you will hop over, 6+ you can't vault over
How many units for a bridge?
completely ignored the east side of my island
@brisk river 4x2
I've ignored the beaches oops
Can you terraform the beaches?
I can't wait for May to get here, I want new bugs/fish to catch
Nope
@ember plume no sadly
what do you guys put behind your resident service building
does anyone recommend taking out some of the unnecessary trees and selling them to make room for later
im thinking about putting a wooden block stereo behind my resident services
you don't get hardly anything for trees from nooks
it's just it;s a blindspot so you cant rlly see anything
@zenith ravine cut the trees, sell whatever you get from bugs and fish to buy saplings
ok
can you move the nook shop and museum when you get the town hall?
i don’t have nooks yet
yes @sullen flame
I'd say its not worth it, but if you're desperate for bells you can. But you have to use a ton of fruit to dig them up. You'd make more money selling the fruit and chopping the trees
ok
any recommendations, moving the houses, idk what to do around the plaza :/
ty!
I'm stealing all you guys layout to use on my island.
@pearl palm i raised the ground behind and made a cafe
oh that's a great idea!
Niiiiice
Hi guys. I have a question about layout - I need to set my campsite but at the mo, I dont have terraforming yet
What should I do? Put it on the beach as well?
I can open if you want some inspo
@humble rain may i come ! i have no idea what to do
Sure ill dm u when i open
Do hybrids grow on dirt paths
@humble rain What are those wood panels making up your walls?
Oh! Awesome, thanks!
did anyone else terraform and erase their default rivers only to regret the whole thing because now it's hard to make rivers that match
-_-
frrr 😭
yess
So basically I've been going back to the first parts of my island that I terraformed and redoing them, it looks better so I'll sit on it for a while
@scenic blaze did I fix the thing?
Adorable
I hate it trying to recreate my old rivers and I just gave up
Found this terracotta border on reddit and it looks so good. Just gives the paths such a pop
@woven drift honestly instead of planning I would terraform around stuff and then when they're almost connected deal with connecting them
oohh looks much more even now!
yeah i definitely think you fixed the balance, it was off before
I love the brick edging!
Planning to do a small marketplace should I keep the ground or add the brick?
Always admire artists who mess with your sense of depth
Just finished my entrance and residential services area. May be changed later though
dang that looks great actually
But who at nintendo decided that u can just brush off custom pathing tho. I need to talk to them 👀
But who at nintendo decided that u can just brush off custom pathing tho. I need to talk to them 👀
@humble rain THIS!
So frustrating
@humble rain I lined all my paths with a moss accent and holy hell it's infuriating when I do that
And the lack of pattern space Q_Q
Lool
There's A LOT more pattern space than there was in New leaf
i’ll pop a balloon and then accidentally kick away my path when trying to pick up the gift
probably the same person who said placing rugs outside was a no-no
😡
also let us have like 100 custom design slots
instead of what we have now, not near enough. You get like two full sets of things and your space is almost all the way taken up
I made 2 alt accounts for custom designs. But now i have to decorate and pay off two more houses for aesthetic 🤪
Lool I’m about to do the same
that's actually a good idea Dina maybe I can just hide them in the northwest corner of my island where I have nothing going on
anyone have furniture advice for a seafood restaurant?
Haha yeah. Im making one into a cafe
I want to make a basketball court
yall have all these pretty af islands and im like
ah yes, i put a clothesline outside of rudy's house. this place looks great
@humble rain does that really work? I read that when you add people to your island they just keep the same design patter spaces
Yeah it works toboe.
that would be so dumb
My alt accounts house
oh this cute !!
Lil cafe!
Huh I need to make my husbands account move in then
Yeah. 😂
Anyone have an island I can get inspiration from ^^
Mine is open if you want elora
@coarse rain it took me until this event to do anything about my residential services area. My island looked like a wasteland with a one way road before Thursday .
Always wanted to do this 2x2 house thing like in the first animal crossing
Alt accounts in AC 😂 like this is CSGO or Rocket League
@thick tendon LMAO
When one set of brick border is like 15 design spots thats how it is 😂
are there any islands open for inspo? the island visit tab things are people offering npcs and such
Do I need to worry about fossils spawning on the north strip of land?
so I can have one villager have their own patterns ?
@ember plume when you don't have access to the ladder yet, no
????
my island is gonna look like a wasteland with a bunch of unfinished stuff until the end of time 
Where the hell am I meant to get books
@sly minnow So when I'm terraforming I need to place path blocks there?
I can't make a bookshelf because nowhere has sold one
are you guys giving all your villagers lawns?
@ember plume sorry, I thought you were early game. Fossils will only spawn where they can, and not say on the lips of cliffs
hears balloon franticly runs to find it.... clay 
i’m moving all my villagers house i already did 5 i’m at the middle of this and i love it so far
@humble rain
im just looking for inspiration cause im not creative
@woven drift I plan to.
@woven drift if you make alt accounts for your switch, and move them in, they have spots for custom designs aswell
I made 2 alt accounts for custom designs. But now i have to decorate and pay off two more houses for aesthetic 🤪
@humble rain you can have 2 villagers with their own custom designs to place ?
hey !! i’m just starting up my island and i’m looking for some inspo if anyone could send me pics of what they’ve done that would be greatly appreciated !! 🙂
what but can they use island designer?
@woven drift Some have small yards, some have an area that acts half as a yard half as a public space
@mystic solstice if you search my name on here you'll see the obscene amount of pics I've posted lol
They can if u buy the custom pathing from nooks
@woven drift I plan to.
@frosty bloom im trying decide on what to do but it’s so hard bc it feels like there’s no space 😭
when i actually move my villagers houses and make it look nice im gonna give rudy a mansion 
ASFSHSKAOW @humble rain
Man 5PM is a fucking B O P 
Does anyone know what the dimensions of the houses are?
@woven drift before terraform I was able to give them a front and backyard
ok after much deliberation with this group and myself, this is what I think I'm going to do for the layout. the red flowers i have near the bottom represent a hybrid flower garden and the sand part is a zen garden and the fruit trees are an orchard. big gray splotches are unsure areas. Please give feedback! Thanks for the constant help team!
^it's rough drawing, not exactly to scale
@woven drift Multipurpose areas? Like, this is kinda Bea's yard but also a playground.
Man 5PM is a fucking B O P
@thick tendon love 5AM much better hehe
I've never heard the 5 am, I don't wake up that early/stay up that late 😦
anyone know if the museum dimensions change after the remodel?
They stay same
I just TT 😂😂
same footprint @swift pier
to listen
yo I need some help on some ideas on how to make a sushi restaurant pls cause I keep seeing restaurants but never any asian styles restaurants and Idk where to find some inspiration
then go back
true maybe I'll do that tomorrow when I wake up
Houses are 4x4 and all dimensions are in pins for person who asked earlier
😂😂😂
I've only TT'd once and that was because I had to work through the fishing tourny RIP.
Thanks @patent sky
tea tables + zen cushions as the seating part? @old mountain
olive you're a genius!
@old mountain there are sushi outfits in the game
@woven drift Multipurpose areas? Like, this is kinda Bea's yard but also a playground.
@dull quartz thats super cool, i might do that
im super new to discord, how do you reply to people’s messages without it having their entire message to?
@patent sky I have the sushi outfit lolol
Just do @ and then type their name to create a tag.
just type @ then the persons name @woven drift
Im pretty unhappy with how I layed out my structures on my island pre terraforming, but I've built expensive bridges and inclines and I'm not sure how to move them
Or just manually quote a part of it
without it having their entire message
(> text)
With lots of turnip bucks
sorry to double post but this got lost in the sauce: ok after much deliberation with this group and myself, this is what I think I'm going to do for the layout. the red flowers i have near the bottom represent a hybrid flower garden and the sand part is a zen garden and the fruit trees are an orchard. big gray splotches are unsure areas.

Just finished my entrance and residential services area. May be changed later though
@frosty bloom GALAXY BRAIN LEVEL TO THINK OF PARKING LOT FOR RS !!!
XD I actually got the idea from a YouTuber ^_^
Here is my madness. Trying to cram in more stuff
XD
The rough terrain is a nature trail
this is my layout at the moment. i hate it. i decided to make the main part of the island, the residential part then put the shops through the island. what do you guys think
How do people fit more than one player house I swear
https://youtu.be/C1Zs_MA48lA
How to create a Rock for your island
- Obtain Weed from a seller, or get your own.
- Hire K1ngOfSloth to plant all your weeds
- Make an 11x8 area and leave 6 spots empty
- Destroy any rocks not within the proper area, and skip days until they are all in place.
- Hire oops to remove 1000+ weed for 1 Nook Mile...
@humble rain my layout basic af. Why does your island look huge
now idk what the fuck im gonna do
"How to sacrifice your sanity for your island"
@frosty bloom just crammed a lot in there 🙈
Props to those that manipulate rock spawns
am i the only who thinks my island feels so small and doesn’t have much space to do things, i hate where my rivers are. but i don’t wanna delete them bc of the little openings at the bottom
Any idea of wht border fence??
i’m really out there planning my island on paper
I'm so confused on which looks best t.t..
What would you guys add to a pretty big orchard besides trees, fruit signs, and fences?
Your island will feel bigger as you add more stuff @woven drift
Stalls selling fruit?
Ah I was thinking that!
Could prop some tools around.
If I leave the song up to K.K. will he play one that I don't have yet?
@woven drift i did the same thing, i drew out my island in paper
Or is there a chance he'll play one I have?
I like the tools idea!
Soribori, i prefer the brick but the stone fence fits better with your path
My orchard is really big and I think I’m centering my island around a sort of natural almost farm-ish theme, so that would look great
@woven drift if you can't yet you'll eventually be able to move where the rivers flow
@patent sky thank u sm !!
Am I doing this right?!
@pearl palm Looks goo! the villager area looks cool. Do you want to include lakes, waterfalls, or cliff river for fish variety?
Holy bonfire
Progress..
Man, I’m so lost as to what to do with the main river without it becoming most of my island
omg that looks so nice
I chose a kind of icky island layout
Tall orchard
how big do you make your yards
I really want to be able to dye fences t.t...
My island layout looked nice, but I realized I need to put a million bridges in because there were so many rivers
Also protip, weeds doesnt affect 5 star rating. Atleast not until its like crazy many. I have my nature trail filled with weeds for a natural look and it didnt affect the rating
good to know! @humble rain
Yoooo nature trail gang!
Deweeding generally helps anyway, so that balloons and wasp nests fall where you want them to
woah mush lamps are expensive
@raw tendon cut off one side of the river and make it just land
@humble rain pls share some screens. Love a natural trail!
All of my weeds are in storage. I’m so glad that I saved them. Now I got these hedges!
Nature trail/botanical gardens
Pro tip: Use flick’s bug models to add permanent wildlife to nature trails
Oooooh
The snack and drink machines and service poles... You can tell this game was made in Japan lol
tru, i have tarantula models hiding in flower patches
Sounds interesting, but I don't think you can get rid of river outlets, would turning it into a smaller river work well?
@sly minnow right XD
Making a wedding venue in the middle of my nature trail when we get the wedding furniture
Y’all have such nice islands!!!
Yea weeds are a great touch for camp areas. I leave mine as well @humble rain
anybody know how big each square on the map is
Idk if anyone else is bothered by this, but this game wasn't localised to specific locations... I'm from the UK but words are still spelled like "gray" and "color"
@pearl palm i think it's considered and acre
Im in uk too and mums cushion rly confused me deefect
right but how many grid squares is it
😂
I’m making a little secret pond on my island. What color theme should I have?
@pearl palm I think the map is 140x140
White and blue! And add the mushroom lights when you get them. Like a little fairy garden. @bold mirage
Roughly
thank you!
But that also includes the inner sea
what season do the mush lamps come out in?
I was thinking pink but I don’t want too much cherry blossom feeling
Fall iirc
omg that's so far away for me to wait
@humble rain I like that! I do really like a fairy theme! And I can use hyacinth flower lights!
Yes element! Thats a nice touch
The nature trail leads to the pond. I may have a secret exit to the beach but otherwise it’s only accessible from the trail.
If anybody wants to visit my island my dodo code is FFGF8. I have a 5 star rating and my island is has some asian and western themes mixed together and theres a lot of brush :)) I also have some extra diy recipes laying out for whoever wants them
Sounds awesome elemental
What should I add next? I’ve already started a cafe, nature stuff, orchard, and music area.
marketplace
Ooooooo
pool area
Theme park
Farm
Botanical garden
Hey so I just did a bunch of time traveling to speed up construction. If I go back to the present will it undo those changes??
hedges on sand to make it look like lighter dirt to serve as a floor for a garden...
I like all these ideas!
HQ of nook cartel
Time to create that alt acct
@versed wadi its so nice seeing someone w a bridge right behind resident services. i thought mine looked kinda weird but you made it look cute 👌
I don’t have any bridges 😂
@glossy cave Ooh I like what you did with your river! The central island is a great idea!
i’m looking at y’all’s islands like 🥺🥺 i seriously just need to unlock paths and terraforming
Paths has consumed my life
^^
Spent 3 hours adding borders to everything yday rofl
@modern ember Do yourself a favor and save up nook miles now. It will be so much nicer to buy the permits.
What is "paths"
same
Old entrance...
