Do u guys prefer symmetrical island or asymmetrical islands?
the only one of my villagers i've scanned in via amiibo card was octavian, however in june i'm probably gonna get a whitney amiibo card (who is my favorite villager)
I like both types
@unkempt wren personally i hate the egg furniture and think that hedges would look cuter!
Asymmetrical
when picking out my dream 10 villagers I chose tabby thinking it was a dude cat, and I built this whole area for olivia & tabby to live because I was like ok cute I ship the scrappy cat and the elegant cat
I like my island abstract
i try to look for amiibo cards but i can never find any š
does anyone know how thick a river must be to build a bridge
and I traded for tabby and she was wearing a dress and I was like š®
I made a secret bush bath inspired by a BnB in NZ
but now I have lesbian cats ā¤ļø
Asymmetrical. I'm going out of my way to de-symmetrise my island atm
@azure dew i think 3x3
i bought my whitney for like 10 bucks, so that was a huge snag
It'll look better when the palm tree grows in lol
they should make the hedges have different flowers on them!
@azure dew 3 squares
hopefully it actually arrives
thank you!!
My airport and town hall are way too close to each other. Could anyone dm me some ideas to put in between? Please and thank you.
My airport and town hall is way too close to each other. Could anyone dm me some ideas to put in between? Please and thank you.
@steel sandal How close?
whats the perimeter of a villagers home?
Maybe put a small mountain inbetween to make it look bigger
well maybe try making a huge gatekeeping area
4 x 4
ok

Anyone want to share their space themed islands? I'd love to see them ^^
the only space item i've ever gotten was the flying saucer which i got from octavian moving out lol
@steel sandal i put a cliff in front and decorated it and it hides resident when your walking in. ill quickly get a picture
its so shitty how we cant move resident services
right?
I was planning on a fountain and garden and I had a bunch of big ideas til I found out you couldnāt move town hall š
I need some input on which staircase I should use for my museum
@unkempt wren personally i hate the egg furniture and think that hedges would look cuter!
@torpid talon lol yeah ik everyone hates the egg stuff, but. idk the fences are so limited and I thought the hedges might add too much bulk to that area, coz u still gotta get around it to get to the beach so I dont want the enterence to feel tooo bulky.. Wish we could do like mini hedges cx like one path square wide
What do you think, nooks cranny or able sisters in this spot I'm standing at?
Log 4 lyf
I love how you actually placed fences to hit the rock š
Bro it's so convenient
i know the main focus is the stores but i used stone stools for the rock hitting area
(also joycon drift is making it a pita to get lined up without it)
Big brain hours lol
i got new joycons just because of drift
Lol fences would are Deff the move now
My joycons have started to drift last week
probably just going to send them back and use the pro controller š¤·
hey im planning on making my island half city theme (front half) and half nature theme (back half) but i need suggestions on how to make a natural transition/border. heres my island airport, river ends and resident services if thats any help.
Idk how yāall have drift. Iāve owned mine for 3 years and no drift. Maybe Iām just a lucky one.
ive had 2 pairs and got one repaired and still have awful drift in both
Black bois with a wrap
thoughts and ideas? Still working on it, i need to find a good path and place trees in some spots
I have a Super Mario Odyssey edition set of Joy-con and my left Joycon started drifting. Even re-calibrating it and everything only resolves it for a couple of days
i used pink and green for the longest time but the pink started to drift like crazy so now i use blue and yellow
Is it just the joycons that are causing the drift or is it the console itself somehow??
ooh pretty
@zealous sleet Ngl the back waterfall bugs me Bc I like symmetry but itās still really cute
It's only the joycon itself, and it's a hardware issue not communication. Using the Pro Controller there's no issue whatsoever
I use my GameCube controller now and have probably like 4 days worth of playtime on my joycons
Thatās crazy I alway use my pro controller. Well for smash at first but itās a good controller for other games
I love the sunken waterfall in the back! The swinging benches above the waterfalls are nice too, perhaps a bit out of place since you can't sit on htem
i feel like joycons fit my hands better
The pro controller is so comfy for playing animal crossing
@woven drift it bugs me too dw but the back cliff hides resident service so until i can fins another way i'm just gonna suffer haha
So is the GameCube controller. It really makes it feel like an older game
Feel like Iām playing it as a kid all over again but with better graphics
Do yāall used the angled signposts? I need advice for designing my island.
@mellow wolf i agree with the swinging benches they dont look right but im just tryna find another decoration that does. any suggestions?
All I have is angled... š¦
Looking to visit some islands to get some ideas! DM me if youāre open to be coming! š
Hey, museum is 7x4 right?
yes
I like the angled ones. They give better direction for navigating the island.
@zealous sleet maybe the new hedges ? Or some statues.
I like the look of them for deco purpose, not sure of any item that would fill the space in a similiar way... š¦
Guys I need your opinion so I just started and I found the layout I was looking for after like an hour of searching but I didnāt get the native fruit I want and I got bad villagers should I reset
Ooh! statues could be cool
if i were to do make my island half city half nature what would be a good way to divide the two??
I like both, a few spaces that have a need for the non-angled version
You could also try regular wooden benches
@arctic agate I wouldnāt if it took you an hour. You can trade for fruit and find villagers in islands.
if i were to do make my island half city half nature what would be a good way to divide the two??
@brittle crescent Rivers and or a big set of cliffs
@arctic agate if the villagers and fruit are that bad in your eyes then maybe
I got Renee and flip so Iām definitely not in love with them
But if you donāt care about the exact positions of river exits and stuff, you can always terraform cliffs if you restart.
@brittle crescent terraforming is tricky for transitions unless youāre creative. Iād do the town and city on a 1-2 layer and the nature on 2-3
honestly, i dislike resetting for villagers or even searching for preferred villagers for your first few plots. cuz they come with basic ass houses.
renee is still on my island and i have 2 other rhinos so i really want her gone
I want merengue really bad
The new hedges are so much better then trees my god
i love pashmina and rosie but i got amiibos for them to kick them out/reinvite them since they just have wood furniture lmao
Path wise
Not mine but this is really cool!
I also got a blue airport sooo
I love my blue airport
i got yellow airport i like it bc it matches the dudes
@primal ginkgo that looks like a terraforming hell
we can all agree that green airport is bad right?
also ty for the suggestions
Yellow airport best airport
yellow airport gang
Yea green and orange just arenāt ok
I just wonder if theyāre actually going to use that as their town layout or if it was just for internet upvotes
imagine having orange omg id reset
Lol Jesus
Me too
orange is fine in my eyes but the green just doesn't mesh with the airport
me having orange reading this
Blue it's on brand for the Dodos
blue and yellow best
me having green reading this
If u have orange airport with orange fruit trees nearby, that might make it appear less bad .... Maybe?
xD
yea i got yellow and im in love w/ it
And a bunch of bushes and trees for green
Honestly I find that the map editor and the map in game are slightly difference scale wise
the thing is orange and blue are complementary colors, so I feel like it works
true, ornage is my native fruit so itd probably work for me
I have orange and I like it tbh
I like apples
Jesus
my game said oh this bitch Floridian af, give her oranges
i'm pretty sure i have apples in my main new leaf town as well as my gamecube town
I reset until I got peaches
i dislike peaches solely because of the surprise box
Iām about to start my 400 ticket quest for marshal and Raymond
i wish i got apples. they look so juicy and red is the superior color
Iāve always had apples or cherries my whole life
Do I keep the grey side on the road or replace it with asphalt?
i got apples but i wished for anything but apples
I got oranges and now I feel so basic Bc everyone else has em too
i like the grey tbh
Keep it
At first I wanted apples or oranges because I liked how they look but now Iām happy with my peaches
WOAH WEāRE HALFWAY THERE WOAH LIVING ON A PRAYER 
I wanted butt fruits
I feel like everyone has apples lol
i have oranges lol
Peach gang š
apples were actually the last fruit i got in new horizons lol
peaches here
Pears š
god my island is nothing compared to yalls
blathers is quaking at honeycomb island
CHACE LOOK AT THE MEME BUDDY
i was terraforming my museum earlier and i got SO FRUSTRATED
@woven drift give it time and itāll all fall together
Thatās so wholesome...
i try to love my island but its hard (especially with klaus and pippy on it)
terraforming my museum was super fun
My main problem is that my island is cluttered.
i was so upset, pears are the only fruit i havnt gotten but at the start of the game i had 3 of them, non planted and i just sold them like tf was i doing
i made it look super good at least i think i did
not sure if this goes here, but, does anyone know what ankhaās house looks like from the outside? getting her and wanna make sure she fits my theme lol
im TERRIFIED to start terraforming because ik ill hate it
put a bunch of waterfalls and white hyacinths around there
Itās okay. Just realize that all these beautiful 5 star islands all had trouble and frustration terraforming
also recently put white azaleas there
i did put waterfalls around it but theyāre still giving me a hard time lol
Yeah they do that
Also, they probably had some time travel as well
i completely flattened my 2nd island sooo
Iām happy I canāt stand the sound of waterfalls
might put all my hybrids over there
hyacinths are my fave flowers i wanna eat them
hyacinths are amazing
The best use of terraforming is to help your villagers social distance by putting a moat around their houses
i mean the museum is supposed to show off rare stuff
Time travel isnāt relevant to terraforming tho
Hyacinths are super pretty
Iām happy I canāt stand the sound of waterfalls
@indigo sierra I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
so it makes sense for my rare flowers to be there
i wish i got them as a sister flower and not just one of the 3 i get from my shop
They still put equal time into the game
AYYYYY
theyre so godamn loud i cant hear the balloons lmao
LMAO
blue hyacinths are the best flower
Are there set sister flowers or is it random? Because mine is tulips.
i told myself i wouldn't time travel but shifting these houses if the worst process without it. (mind the mess btw lol)
Every time I go near the areas of my island with waterfalls I hold down that B button
theyre like PPPPSSSHHHHHHHHH like shut up lemme shoot the gifts in the sky
i only have one blue hyacinth
what's your native @bold mirage?
Ok but purple windflowers look super nice
Cosmos.
i have mostly black lillies
i didnt even try to grow them on purpose they just kinda did
i'm pretty sure they're random in that case cuz i have tulips as my sister and roses as my native
@zealous sleet honestly after you have terraforming thereās no point in not TTing
Hm cool!
lillies are my native, hyacinths are my sister
My mom is obsessed with playing acnh so I donāt have to worry about planting flowers, she does it all for me
luckyyy
Time travel gets all of your stuff moved much quicker though, makes it a lot easier terraform perfectly if you're waiting 1 minute for a building to move than 1 day
@woven drift those are two of my favorites!!!
the best combination for me would be roses and hyacinths
i just need ways to make bells so i can get more stairs
Not disparaging Time travelers, they do some incredible work
roses for the hybrid rose islands and hyacinths because i love em
yea you guys got a point haha
Yeah, those are the two everybody wants.
im not gonna plant flowers til i finish terraforming. but to finish terraforming i have to start...
but im terrified of the buy and sell chats here they go SO FAST
I have whole sections of my island dedicated to different species of flowers
@bold mirage iām always happy to sell u some! i donāt have many hybrid hyacinths but i have lots of black lillies!
i was somehow able to sell my dom so there's that
Idk for me. Iāll be building a river lake or cliff and wanna move a building, Iāll make the request and go to another part of my island for an hour and then reset
Like you can breed and sell hyacinths and roses for so much right now because everybody wants them
As long as your break your island into sections, you should be good
almost voided him tbh
@woven drift Ooo, Iāll keep that in mind!
villager chat is crazy dude. "seven trillion nmt for nerd cat lol"
Lmao
Cats seem to be popular
"have the naming rights of my firstborn for cat"
I donāt really like cats but I do love Raymond.
i have a bunch of purple roses that i'm breeding right now
ill trade u my lungs for ceo cat
me over here hoarding every villager except cats
Cats are cool and all but have these people seen roald
brb gonna sell my soul for gray cat
Iām trying to breed black roses, pink lillies, and pretty much all hybrid hyacinths.
Iām trying to make a secret pond with them
i can't stress enough how much i LOVE hyacinths
I prefer bird villagers
I love lillies and roses
the fact that im yet to get a black hybrid rose is so sad considering im dedicated half of my map to breeding them and i got none lmao
Tru hyacinths r gorgeous š„°
Tbh I donāt want any other flowers on my island
T-tulips š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢š¤®
Should I go with blue or pink for a secret pond? Or maybe yellow and orange?
I have all these trees but I can't chop any of them for wood bc flowers

@zealous sleet invite people to water your flowers
Tulips are gorgeous >:(
Tulips look off to me, itās like their missing something
@woven drift i just make my brother do it lol
I bought a whole bunch thinking theyād look nice and I ended up digging all of them out
I like them but I hoarded red ones and now I donāt like them so much.
I dont really like their pollen
I like them as yard flowers because theyāre neat. For more wild things I prefer hyacinths and cosmos.
@dapper ginkgo fuck i just spent 100k to use them on paths, I've planted them alrea
Rip
I have wayy too many white hyacinths
pretty much the only two flowers i'm using rn are roses and hyacinths
i would use mums if they weren't exclusive to leif
but yeah i have lots of red hyacinths lol
Yeah i spent 2.5 mil on 85 black tulips
I also learned today that weeds grow over time, which is nice for my nature trail.
i planted a bunch of red and white hyacinths around my island and i love them
i just wanna sell stuff but these sell channels scare me
Same
Sell channels on this server is actually cursed
The villager trading chat is scary š¦§
anyone know of any good stepping stone paths. i just cant seem to fall in love with any i find.
Itās very fast, but also very helpful to use the sell channels
what color??
i can put lots of paths in the qr code channels
i have a whole save folder on insta for ac codes
Link @woven drift
oh its not a public thing i dont think
Oh
i dont think you can view them but i can send codes if you tell me what ur lookimg for
Dont be shy, share the code 
do yall have thoughts on this?
anyone have that video of the dude saying they'd give away raymond for free and then they got thousands of dms
ive been looking for just a plain grey one which should be easy to come accross but i guess im picky lmao
anyone down to maybe help me with my island layout ? not sure if it's allowed but i can pay ? :'') this is what i have so far, i drew over my map lol
@woven drift maybe vending machines
anyone know of any good stepping stone paths. i just cant seem to fall in love with any i find.
@zealous sleet I've given up and fallen back to the default set.
@woven drift could use some hedges
i think chace
ill hit u up with some codes in the other channel just lemme screenshot em
send ur usernames in this chat so i can ping u all
@tame thunder I donāt have it but Iāve seen it and I love it.
Looking for tips/thoughts/suggestions for my mermaid beach in progress. Also is there any way to get those annoying corners covered or no
what do you do with empty space by something that you filled ur empty space with?
@versed wadi i tried to use the default paths but i just could do it

current progress of my complete island remodel
Is it wise to take up 1/8 of my island with an orchard?
yall looking for paths check these out
itās a whole account dedicated to just paths
i hate how i have so much space in front of my āshopping districtā
Thoughts what can I add to spruce it up
@devout rover love these little round paths i bet they look great!
I love those flower carts
@devout rover that museum district look cool
@south minnow add a tree. And when in doubt, add flowers!
add some flowers near the cart so it looks like thereās so many that itās overflowing
Anyone have any tips on stop being symmetrical lol
What type of flowers should I add
i divided my island into 3 tiers horizontally and so far the top 2 are pretty symmetrical and rectangulat but was thinking for the lower most tier it may spice it up by deriving from it
deviating*
Can anyone give me a entrance idea?
@uncut cedar It depends on the degree of symmetrical. If itās with a villagerās house or something, offset the entrance to their yard. If itās the island, make one side a big cliff.
Please?
heres before the remodel
i divided my island into 3 tiers horizontally and so far the top 2 are pretty symmetrical and rectangulat but was thinking for the lower most tier it may spice it up by deriving from it
@uncut cedar Be warned, going wild is where madness lies!
no, go wild.
But once you do, be ready to go back and change your other two sections
Thats why i was thinking go wild for bottom one and see how it goes
Any ideas for the island I share it with my brother and the whole left is my side and Iām planning on moving my house somewhere there where should I put it and what should I do with the rest of the empty space?
Do you guys think itās possible to turn your own island into a tarantula island?
š
probably
thatd be scary hahah
Because imagine how many people would be willing to go to your island and like pay entry or something. Just a thought.
hmm
This is current layout @versed wadi
Though that would also mean wasting an entire switch console.
probably, but it's probably pretty hard due to the size. It would be hard to scare of all the bugs all the time
Oh I mean I could just make my own spider island with nook tickets tho
what bugs would you have to worry about?
Just a thought I had. Thought I should share.
also in july and august you could turn it into a beetle farm where it's like beetle farming in new leaf
Tiger beetles and wharf roaches
on tortimer island
also you can place fencing on the rocks to prevent roach spawning
Where should I move my house on the left?
it would be worth it money wise though, youd be bathing in cash, but also medical bills
As well as not having an actual island.
and this is why we need a 2nd island
Hmmmmmmm
@rugged tree Hmmm, probably up the hill in the corner or by the heart pond? c:
if anyone wants to come help me with ideas for my island , dodo is 6VSGV
Ooo, that sounds cute! Imma come by
@viral coral can I rob you?
@rigid tree no š
oh wow strait to the point ha
Darn
Rate my museum entrance
could anyone send me ideas of a magical forest island?
Thanks
2/10
Why so
ngl that one yellow moon tho
Lmao
ocd coming to town lmao
Maybe flowers or hedges
A park or a dumb
Some pics of my stony mountain island paradise š
woahhhh
OOOOooo
Yooo
How nice
thank you for making me ashamed of my island
any ideas for a foresty island?
thats sooo pretty
Can I jump into your well head first ?
I have exactly 0 stone remaining hahahaha
@granite hemlock add trees :))))
i-
thanks
@zealous sleet mood, big big mood
can u all send your market areas please Iām desperate for ideas
yall ever be looking for a good turnip price and you have these clowns with a 400per turnip price like "6 choice picks of your loved ones, a kidney, and a winning lottery ticket for entry"
i literally just put it next to my entrance so i could make people sell stuff without full access to the island
yo i had a turnip price of 591 the other day
no joke
How did you guys solve the private beach? Iām struggling
I hid it behind cliff and made a series of small jumps to get to it
Donāt you got it build sideways or am I wrong
@azure dew the incline needs to go one tile on the cliff itself
617 Jesus
so move the incline one tile south
Big money right there
or move the cliff up north
My store closed sorry
Omg thanks guys! I though it was on the cliff lol
POGGERS
Gratz!
EZ MONEY
pog
Omg I want audie
I want audie š
I want dom moreš
same lmao
Or sherb
Oh yeah dom is a cutiee
ikr his face is literallyš„ŗ
^
My little secret beach behind my house š
awe i want audie š„ŗ
Cute
Finally finished my stupid logo
I finally started working on making "JP small town" island, here's how Island entrance looking rn
@woven drift you know whats better than having audie 4x, having a high turnip price and getting 1x katana per run
Factsš³š³
Sitting on +40 katanas
Broo damn
i have a singular katana
Flexing Jesus
Its fun how people go insane about turnips
Lol well yeah everyone wants to make a profit
Are there signs that we can put designs on?
I remember i gave someone a pagoda for a 600 bell turnip run but i regret it cuz i didnt know the rarity of pagodas and i deadass got it for like 200k bells ongš©
Yes there are.
i'm pretty sure i gave skye a pagoda in new leaf lmao
they should change turnips system is way too insane
Made a little open mic bar at the end of my beach to stop the space from going to waste. Friend suggested something and my finger slipped š¤·āāļø keeping this here forever tho
Ok so donāt mind the name btw, but I needed some ideas. Mostly the top part where itās totally empty. Anyone with ideas?
people in discord be like 400 bell turnip prices! 10nmt per runš
Ikr
Love the sign @sly dome
I made like 50mil and like 400 tickets in 6h with turnips
bruhh i-
Thank you :') Friend said it when I showed it to him and couldn't not put it there
Howw
Mind giving me some? š
@cosmic isle i guess you could say the top of your map is pretty "M"-PTY badum tss
they changed turnips now for people that time travel
LMAO
u can't keep same price for days
I sold audie for 100 tickets and went raymond hunting and i had to leave behind kiki and molly. i didnt even find raymond fml
once u time travel again its changed
When you want to say sorry for a accidental ping and get blocked
DID U ACTUALLY LMAO
how many inclines can you have on one island?
8
8
8
oh really. i thought it was only 3 thanks
Hol up I didn't even know there was an incline limit š
Dang... I wanted like 11 inclines total lol
Hey chat I'm really confused trying to get a bridge to work if I could have some help
Same linear lmao
I need some money. But people and the horrible prices for turnips.
Oof that wont work out @sharp minnow gotta terraform
@sharp minnow both sides need to be 4 wide
Oh my
Thats fine @woven drift I just dont know what to terraform
begone bot
Thatās a bot?
likely, for promoting his/her ebay shop
lmaoo okiee
Iām sorry are yall out here paying with REAL MONEYš¤Øš¤Øš¤Ø
Bruh
just ask for 109999 nmt when you get a good turnip price š
@unreal thistle check few lines up
Dig the thingies
Typed way too fast for it to not have been a copy/paste or a bot
make it \
not >>>>>
@sharp minnow they dont have to be corners
Yo anyone willing to donate? Iām broke
Hey can someone help me layout my island?
Can u show your current map
Donate what?
Bells
No lol
Aw :,
I have like 400k bells lmao
hey looking for people to water my flowers was told to ask here !! dm me :)
imagine not being broke as a joke š
.......
Alright we get it your flexing
Trying to flex? Jk
bruh
Lmao sheesh
š
the only reason why i have 1 mil in new leaf is because i farm tortimer island
im just gonna time travel to yesterday ro get some turnips
bring back tortimer island please
Not mine but my friend is a mastermind
Looking for help and ideas about where to go with this. I want to space the villagers out enough that each pair of houses has a pretty big shared area where I can put gyms for the jocks, gardens, etc
Hmu ill donate a katana
I wouldn't be so poor if I stopped moving houses every single day
The hard part is finding some good turnip prices
And breaking all my bridges
Yes
@swift ivy literally me rn
Any ideas? I need help coming up with a theme too lol
Yeah
They prob will I. The future. I like that they are able to update this animal crossing with new content
love the name
Lol some names are basic
@wheat pelican wakanda is your plan/ theme youre aiming for?
Okay so this works I juse have to figure out how to make it not look ugly
my island name is pen like why
Mine is Booty š
Lol pen
My island is literally named āMā
No like i dont have a theme . I was thinking city or maybe resort like
Mine's Lilypad, just a normal name not like you weirdos
Thereās no such thing as a good name ššš
lilypad
Anyone wanna let me visit for inspiration? Especially for villager house layout
Nah lilypad kinda basic and boring
@wheat pelican do you want it to be more city themed or natural
mine's Akala, as in akala island from pokemon
I shoulda done astroworld ughš
Tegredy š
I've offended em now
I wish we could change island names. I don't wanna change mine but it would still be nice
Lol
more city themed i think
I mean pen is ok lmao
@rigid tree I mean true
Meh
Idk what i was thibking
No
i see everyone with the road theme so do something different unless thats the city theme you were going for
I couldn't think of a name and I just wanted to get into the game so I called it "Lou" (shortened version of my middle name that close friends call me), in hindsight it sounds really narcissistic and I hate it :')
bo my first island before i restarted was called aloha and i divided it up into different island and it was kinda amazing... did me proud lmao
No such thing as a good name. No need to stress about it
My theme is like... small town mixed with a lot of forest and mountains.
anyone know what i should add here?
Flowers
My theme is natural island
Water
The cliffs r more of a magical forest tho but the base of the island has more whites pinks and yellows
@fathom sonnet feel free to ping the mod role since I might not always be around
Ive removed it now though
Yāall Deff more creative then me
wehh what happened
@woven drift I would make the path split and connect it to the upper path left and right with a fountain in the middle. Make a little square
Everytime I visit this chat I always wanna start landscaping my whole island
@unreal thistle sorry, dmed some mods no reaction
I thought about maybe dividing my island and having a different theme for each side but it seems so extra
ohh

True
@wheat pelican not extra just a lot of time
i originally started with that and didnāt like it haha @wheat pelican now iām splitting 2 themes!
and i love it so far haha
Iām so indecisive and it doesnāt help lol
@mellow wolf do you think you can "draw" it out for me?
Made some pretty good progress since Friday!
People who terraforming have my respect man. Itās draining af
Ooooo, looks nice!
@wheat pelican thats what im trying now
I can recommand putting a small city with museum shops and co to the bottom left small villager town on the bottom right going up and the campside on the north with alot of nature
Looks pretty!
My theme is just all over the place, I tried to go with a resort theme with a martini bar on one side of the beach and a live music/open bar on the other but it's kinda fallen over on the main base with small village themes :')
Holy crap all that terraforming
Thx everyone! Bottom right is only place left to finish
@mellow wolf do you think you can "draw" it out for me?
@woven drift sorry I'm in bed so that would be hard. What I mean is a thicker path with either some greenery in the middle, or a fountain of some sort.
Wider* path
does anyone have any inspo for the front of/path leading up to their resident services? i donāt have any ideas :ā((
I feel like i need a whole assistant to help lmao
Thiccer* path :)
alright lemme do that and send it and see how it turns out
My island has like trees as the fence
@wheat pelican continue asking here, everyone is very helpful here
I'm also trying to make my resident service plaza look decent with a path leading up to it. Any inspo is more than welcome
Havent seen many posts about it
wait, @mellow wolf you mean have the WHOLE path wider or just wide enough for a square
I have mixed emotions about it but personally I made a little circle of trees and a fountain in the middle, nooks cranny to the left and able to the right
jesus why does that pic look like I took it in an earthquake i apologise let me get you a new one
lol
Where should i move my house if i have a city like area at the bottom left and a villager space at the bottom right? Or should i keep it there and terraform around it?
Woahh
wait, @mellow wolf you mean have the WHOLE path wider or just wide enough for a square
@woven drift I mean the whole path wider like a Boulevard! It's a type of street they use in my city in real life where the path is split up in 2 separate lanes with grass and trees in the middle. Using the new bushes there would be nice
hello! does anyone have a fairytale/woodland/mystical themed island that I could tour for inspiration? willing to pay NMTs for entry
Should I make my main orchard path two or three tiles wide? I want it to be open but I also donāt want to take up too much space.
@delicate cave Pay with your kidney and left arm
dude-
What?
Three tiles wide always makes it easier to put down some deco light street lights and benches
@mellow wolf something like this?
Yeah! But nicer haha
alright! ill see what i can do
nicer than irl lol
Like make use of the empty space to make a nice green walkway
Lmao less pollution for sure
@delicate cave I do have some woodsy parts, but I think that's not exactly what you're looking for, sorry my man
my town entrance!
how'd you get the marshal statue
Oooo, cute!
Lil marshal flex for good measure (jk, jk :'))
2/10
The Nova lights are adorable!
STARGAZING- should this area be at the bottom, middle or top of the cliff? I feel like if itās on a cliff, when you look up, it wonāt be the whole sky??
love that
Can i some to someoneās island for city like inspiration?
Omg cute
NOT MY MAP but holy heck???
tyty!
oh my god
Thats amazing
oh wow that's so creative
Genius

I wanna explore it
I could never
š

Does the bottom left river mouth look natural?
Thanks
we get it you sit in this chat all day š©
looks natural to me @woven drift
yeah that looks pretty cool!
Yeah that looks nice
Not really mostly on twitter
Thanks
STARGAZING- should this area be at the bottom, middle or top of the cliff? I feel like if itās on a cliff, when you look up, it wonāt be the whole sky?? Iām thinking of an area to utilize the moon + moon chairs + star lights
Very interested to see some photos of your shops and museum on elevation @woven drift that setup looks great
top of a cliff for sure otherwise other cliffs will obscure the sky
@mellow wolf wanna come by and check it out?
Itās hard to capture it all on photos
@wheat pelican You could visit mine, but it's still a WIP in some areas if you don't mind c:
Ahhh I can't right now but I'd love to hop by tomorrow ā¤ļø
top of a cliff for sure otherwise other cliffs will obscure the sky
@scenic blaze ty
Omg ty
Iāll do my best to take pictures
Amazing, thank you
Which fence is good for a ghetto neighborhood?
Barbed wire
Lol
bruh
I-
Is there actually a barbed wire fence?!
Yeah
Yes
Which ghetto we talking ?
I must have it!
who's living in the ghetto
Anyone wanna help me figure out how to do my villager area
Are we talking like 1945 ghetto or modern ghetto šššš
Every day another piece of my soul dies due to the incline limit
Iām making two neighborhoods. The new villagers will live in the wealth neighborhood while the old villagers will live in the ghetto.
classism
@patent sky same girl, same.
Itās a walkthrough waterfall with money trees there
Train tracks for the ghetto lol
@woven drift wait how
Is there any outdoor restaurant inspiration you guys can throw my way? Looking for less of a cafe vibe and more of an outdoor kitchen feel.
this is my map so far im pretty happy with it! :)
That's really interesting with the plateaus being entirely paved. I love the waterfall!!
I have a bug outdoor exhibit
Your villagers i
Working on getting models for a few bugs
If you need a ladybug I gotchu
Bugs are cool
So Audie, Reneigh, Judy and Sherb will have nice fencing. Fauna, Teddy, Leonardo and Wolfgang will have ghetto fencing.
ironic how wolfgang is in the ghetto
Maybe Iāll put trash bags by their houses.
What wolfgang and fauna deserve nice fencing
fauna tf
Like a little āgift storeā
Leonardo doesn't deserve to live in the ghetto >:(
Did anyone elseās layout not join the river mouths?
Audie should be in the ghetto shes an old women
NO ONE DESERVES IT
Lol Jesus you gonna do audie like that
How to deal with diagonals
Omg yāall cracking me up š
you dont deserveee fauna for that :,
Fauna deserves better
WOLFGANG DOES NOT DESERVE THAT!!š¤š¤
Outdoor fish exhibit, it looks crowded but idk what to do with it to look simpler
Audie deserves better lmao
Excuse me
Put Vladimir, bearold, and Pietro in the ghetto
š
They're the ones who deserve it
I love the fish exhibit
Are you filling your museum too or just placing them all outside?
pietro does not deserve
fang kyle freya and wolfgang r the best wolves honestly
You can't just say that and delete it
i love wolf and cat villagers
I'm assembling all my fossils outside instead of donating them, lol
I like pig villagers
And then Iām the middle I have an outdoor Dino exhibit
They ugly
Working on my completed fossils
@fathom sonnet ahhh I needed that such a good idea
Tbh who even likes lion villagers actual question
Dont sure if another exhibit outside the museum is necessary imo it just takes to much space
But other than that, thatās my whole āshopping districtā
Damn you gonna do my man cobb like that
Iām so bad at terraforming. Imma need someone to help me with that lmao
LOL
I like it, thank you for the pics
Np!
@mellow wolf why not recreate jurassicprark?
If you wanna come see it without pics just dm me
hey! looking for a good architect to help me with my island. will pay well! dm for info
Oh boy that would require some serious terraforming
creating floral arrangements for each villagerās home š„°
jesus
Girl dont pay anyone u can do it yourself omg trust me
They donāt have blood and bits of flesh for the Jurassic Park experience
Pretty flowers
Iām also gonna make Goldie and Raymond my next door neighbors. Theyāll get the royal treatment. š
Basic lol
ive been trying to just come up with a plan all day and i cant do it @woven drift
Can you move resident services?
No
Aw no š
That and the airport can not be moved. Everything else can.
I've started making my entrance look nicer š„ŗ
Ankha has the drippiest house i gave her a sphinx yesterday too so i could fill in the empty spaceš
I love the moon item
I love it
@woven drift just ask for tips and look at other peopleās set ups for inspiration, Iām sure plenty of people would give you advice for free too
those eggs trigger me :/
I give bad advice
Idufunmrhf sorry
It's the only egg item I like
I hated the egg event sm
I might leave extra space for my shopping area in case we get new buildings.
u should use floor lights
I would be tryna get wood and eggs come out like no
Sakura event>bunny day
Where should I put my house
would someone be kind enough to send some of their layouts so i can get an idea of what to do?
Garden lanterns >
Everyone send your layout and no one gets hurt š«
i started terraforming today!!
@woven drift sure!
Ew no lol my layout is trash
Cute
I like the palm tree lights. Those are nice.
One layout coming up
You asked for it š«š«š«
They make you look rich.
idk the palm tree lights are cute but they kinda remind me of a casino lmao
Added 2 more pannels
@heavy saffron Youāre not wrong...
Iām still terraforming without time traveling, so you can imagine why my layout is trash
is that an upgraded museum?
Ahh understandable
@woven drift yes
anybody have a double south RIVER island layout?
Super tedious without time travel, moving all the buildings is a nightmare!
I like my villagers so far
I haven't done anything extravagant though, I like my natural island layout
thats not symmetrical
Double south ?
I love natural islands
Opening my 5 star island for a little while before I start terraforming again.
Let me know if you want to come round to see what Iāve done with my island for some inspo if u need it! Max 2 people to minimise traffic, donāt shake trees or run through flowers please āŗļø
Dm for dodo code
I low key want the old museum colour back cause it fits better with the items I decorated it with š
Would anyone mind posting pictures of their island entrances, looking for inspiration!
My resident services and airport are in a wacky layout. Suggestions on entrances?
@iron plinth I posted mine a few minutes ago
im so annoyed with my villagers rn cause majority of them are cute animals but why are they all green!?!?!
Thatās fantastic how close the airport and resident service is
Where should I put my house?
@woven drift nooks and ables on the left, museum on the right, just add some structure
@tiny nova ty!
Lol
You shooould put your house on the beach till you figure out a place 8D
That's what I do
@strong scaffold pipwyn isn't mine
im going for a bit of a japanese garden theme, so the shops are supposed to be somewhat hidden, and i have an idea for my museum
im starting to hate my island but i dont know how to fix it ): help
I also wanted to show this little duck pond project I finished today
Small and simple
tyyy 
could anyone send me ideas of a magical forest island?
Hi there! Anyone know how many spaces a residentās home takes up? Trying to plan terraforming haha
i think its 4
anyone else so stressed about their design layout that theyre just not doing anything š„ŗ š©
me lol
@toxic temple YES ):
@woven drift consider opening onto a park/green space then, tuck the buildings between trees and natural fencing
Iām planning but I havenāt actually touched the land
omg well at least we're not all alone š«
lol i see so many ppl with amazing islands and im like fuckkk... i could do that or that or that or
All this time I thought you could move resident services š¤¦š¼āāļø
All this time I thought you could move resident services š¤¦š¼āāļø
@iron plinth right omg
i put all of my villager homes together in a neighborhood and now im starting to regret how āperfectā it looks
Any ideas
I haven't done terraforming for fear of hating it
This pond is all I've done lol
I just do it in bits and pieces to keep from getting overwhelmed
@cobalt fox i did the same thing and have the same regret lol
i put all of my villager homes together in a neighborhood and now im starting to regret how āperfectā it looks
@cobalt fox ok literally same, also i moved them all together but NOW im like fuck i want a path under their homes so i dont see the grass! but ugh
I don't like the neighborhood idea
I let me villagers live where I placed them for a natural feel
i wanna make my island half natural and half city. Should I do natural in the front and city is back or vice versa??
You can't path under homes anyways, so don't move them for that.
You can't path under homes anyways, so don't move them for that.
@versed depot oh! good to know....
i like the convenience of checking the neighborhood to see who's crafting, but i have so much space on the island i wish i spread them out more
@cobalt fox have multiple residential areas, one more free form and another more structure
Yeah looks great thanks 
I was gonna scatter them but i know i would have a hard time figuring out the spots
A cafe I put together
I hate yāall, inspiring me to terraforming my island and shit lol
omggg cute i love tht cafe
is it possible for other people to come to your island and destroy trees and rocks?? im trying to destroy everything and move all buildings to the beach so i can better plan things out
but i'm gonna get the rest of my island together before i start moving people
Guys, for my secret pond, should I use bushes that flower in the spring or autumn? I like spring because I could have pink work, but autumn would also be really pretty.
@deft stump To move trees they have to be besties I think
do a mix so you can have both
@tiny nova thank you!!
i want to have like a lazy vibe goin on like hammocks nd shit all over
Hey guys can I get some opinions on my entrance
Oooo didnāt think of that. Maybe, but Iām also liking the idea of it being really pretty at one time of year.
Itās a good entrance
love the arch too
I like the statues next to it
mb add more flowers
@viral coral can I still rob you?
Just starte island design
is there a way to move the airport?
Nope.
is there a way to move the airport?
@woven drift no
Hereās my crazy island if anyone wants to visit 𤣠itās not completely done tho
so wait is not possible to hide the grass around a villagers home?
Donāt think so
Nah lmao I donāt like mazes ššš
woww
Itās fun š„ŗ
@still mango How do you live like that
Is there a prize ?
i wanna visit
The experience
nope, but you can pave just in front of the doors so it sits under the front
Nah lmao
That mustāve took a long time.
You can keep that hellish experience to yourself
i mean if you get lost you can just use a ladder
Can you change the floor colour or put pathing on top of the plaza floor at all?
Uh ok
@iron plinth no
@still mango can I rob you tho?
I LOVE maze islands woahhh
Ugh, I hate that it wonāt match the paths I wanna use š
No @rigid tree
Darn
If anyone wants to join just dm me
are there videos of people terraforming their island but like sped up videos?? like a speed paint video but not art?? Because I would totally watch that
does anyone have a grid layout for their villager homes? i saw a picture of one here or in another channel, but it had like tiles for their house, a hence, furniture, etc
I've seen some
does anyone have tips about making a larger space look more naturally foresty? Im building a forest but itās not looking as organic
My barcade so far. Adding black diner counters and stools. Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas are appreciated š
@brittle crescent I just watched one of youtube for someone making a path to their secret beach
@minor pivot try not to make all the trees next to each other
@minor pivot weeds, donāt plant trees in the same column or row, vary the distance between them, chop a few down and leave the stumps, shake some to drop branchās and leave in place
@minor pivot donāt do this
@tiny nova oooh so they are a thing thatās epic
Yes
Those are my farming fruit trees lol
@minor pivot I use stumps and the wild log bench next to them to look like the tree fell down
Mums look good in forest settings, I feel like they kinda look like a weed/look less cultivated
If you need mums let me know my island naturally grow them
@minor pivot donāt do this
@rigid tree looks like my farm š
@toxic temple you know the vibes lmao
is there a way to plant trees or bamboo on something that isnt grass? like dirt or paths
Yeah
Only dirt
Oh wait
Hmm I donāt think so
ok
Letās test that out
does anyone have tips about making a larger space look more naturally foresty? Im building a forest but itās not looking as organic
@minor pivot This is my 'wildest' forrest area.
I've ripped those paths up sinc
But Iām a forest it looks too unnatural
aw i think it looks sweet
*in
It's cool but definitely doesn't look natural
It does look sweet, stumps and mess the path up a little, make it look like itās well worn by cutting into it with the grass tile
Will it grow even I donāt know lol
are cherry blossom trees a thing in this game?

You missed the cherry blossom event
shit i guess we'll see if it grows?? lmao
Wow love your house location
i neeeddd a better house location
oh oki
Lmao only time will tell
esp cause when ppl come over to trade they run into my house sometimes cause its right by the airport 
@woven drift bro how does her house look like that, i wish mine was yellow for her lol
ooh that looks nice, more natural
That looks good!
which should i plant my bamboo on? grass or dirt
That looks good
Dirt
dirt..
I like the custom paths but they're not normal mapped. They don't react to the lighting the same way the default textures do
it looks a lil awk tbh, u could like make a path of dirt and round out the edges?
dirt
and they don't sound right
how do you make a zen garden?
anyone have any island designer apps besides happy island designer?
@hollow dew Grid paper
better ? (ignore the lines of grass im fixing that later)
put together a little shopping area today š https://twitter.com/beefaleef/status/1254548329217785857
@cobalt fox yeh š
Can someone help me with some visually appealing ideas for a cool town
DM me pls
Whoās got a nice campsite?
@muted bramble can link you a vid of mine if you like?
lmao in the same boat as mcfunky, if anyone can tell me how not to have an extremely displeasing island I would much appreciate it
does anyone have good ideas for a farmers market ?
@spare gorge Could you?
What ramp do you all think looks nicest in a woodsy/floral theme island? I'm thinking log but then I have circular stone paths... but then the natural ramp doesn't look right either since the stone is horizontal and steps are circular
Can shrubs grow on dirt pathing or will they be forever stuntued
They can grow on dirt pathing. š
hey guys! do you prefer white lights for my neighborhood area or blue?
@versed wadi I like the custom pathing but the second photo is better to me. Great job with making the in game look natural
I just figured custom paths are not recognized by game as regular paths, they are not appearing on map and could be removed by B button as usual pattern on the ground. What a bummer
unless you use them in island designer
I finally got terraforming
Can't you title them on the regular paths?
I used them in island designer though
it's still works like regular pattern on the ground
oh wait youre right
Island designer only makes it easier to put them together
some of my custom paths have real paths under them
like my zen garden sand has dirt under it so on my map it looks like a path
wouldnāt work with transparent paths though
hmm so if I want them to appear at map I should do real paths beneath them?
Hey, I would like to make a island tour for feedback.. who's in? DM me!
Wish I knew that sooner...But thanks
Hereās my crazy island if anyone wants to visit 𤣠not fully complete btw
