Theres a limit to how many custom pathing qrs u can save right?

does anyone know any other AC discords with active VCs?

Do you guys like the bottom brick like pathing or the circular stones better? Also need help picking a suitable ramp. It’s for a woody island. This is where nooks and able sisters will be
prime tusk
bottom if its for the shops
viral coral

tropic whale
Ran out of ideas for a big open area on the side of my map so decided to make my own forest area that resembled a nook mile island lol
fringe lynx
should i just keep it brick or mix it up with some floral patterns on the floor?
prime tusk
depends if you plan on having nature around or not imo
if its more city-like or urban id just keep the bricks
but if you're going for a more natural feel spruce it up
fringe lynx
nature! was going to put trees and flowers around
prime tusk
Then yeah sure
weak ruin
Can anyone give some tips on making things look visually appealing
teal mortar
@fringe lynx the top one works better for a more nature style
prime tusk
That is true
steep epoch
@fringe lynx I say you do the smaller stones, put the floral patterns off the sides of path in place of weeds, and use weeds to cover edges of path to make it look more wild
still mango
Anyone wanna visit lol
bitter vault
Super proud of this area ❤️
fringe lynx
@steep epoch smaller stones like the circular ones?
bitter vault
steep epoch
@fringe lynx yea
tiny nova
This is my little area around Able Sisters, does it look good for a centralish relaxing area?
bitter vault
These pics have 2 different focuses ^^'
steep epoch
Found scattering weeds around outside of path makes it look more wild, probably work way better with stepping stones that have more grass showing
fringe lynx
Or I can break up the steps with some weed looking paths?
steep epoch
Looks great, maybe use the custom path tool on construction app so you can layer normal weeds @fringe lynx
zealous sleet
@versed wadi how does you island always look amazing? lol
spring bison
@patent sky How did you make those boards on the beach?
fringe lynx
@steep epoch what kind of ramp do you think would match the most? it's hard cause the natural ramp has horizontal stone.. but log doesn't exactly match either

@woven drift you could use your RS as the entrance just terraform around them

I see a lot of people with a bunch of weeds in their island, does that but affect a 5-star rating?
@muted bramble I believe you can't get a 5-star rating if you have weeds on your island.

You can get a 5 star island with weeds but they do negatively impact rating

patent sky
Yes

@civic geode you can
@patent sky Oh really? If you have weeds you can still get 5 stars? Good to know.
versed wadi
my rs is 9 spaces away
@zealous sleet Mine is 11, I had a bit of wiggle room hiding the RS from view of the airport, so if you wanted to go down the obscure it with a windy cliff route it could work.
