[uncut goblet]

[distant valve]

I'm still working on a lot of areas

[brazen horizon]

i restarted recently, just got all my stuff, my island is looking better already,

[fierce mesa]

@mystic gazelle can i come to ur island?

[patent sky]

@brazen horizon make it the ideal place you'd want to live

[heavy summit]

no thats boring

[fierce mesa]

i need inspiration for just like orchard/forest/picnic areas

[left mango]

Rn I have this layout, but I don't like it

[heavy summit]

make a fake island

[patent sky]

Idk about you but

[heady dew]

@brazen horizon I’m restarting tm and I’m making a jungle themed island with a volcano

[mystic gazelle]

@fierce mesa yes

[patent sky]

My ideal place is weird

[fierce mesa]

personally i really like keeping all the villagers together

[latent heart]

@brazen horizon Doesn't it bug you that you lost all the progress? and that your nook miles milestones are so far behind?

[heavy summit]

all your trees are tree standee, all ur bushes is hedge standee, all ur grass is grass standee

[uncut goblet]

Me too sam

[distant valve]

@left mango that's a unique layout, go for it its cool

[patent sky]

Okay actually I can't argue with that

[heavy summit]

ur floor is qr code fake grass, destroy ur river and put down qr code fake river

[patent sky]

Start picking weeds now

[fierce mesa]

i also live in my villagers’ neighborhood because i love them lol

[old marten]

Does anyone have feedback on my campsite area?

[uncut goblet]

Aww

[patent sky]

"Redd's New Horizons"

[fierce mesa]

i don’t have a separate area for my house

@old marten very pretty

[brazen horizon]

@latent heart a bit it does, but it feels lovely achieving!
and mmmpht, I didn't have much miles back then

I got like 50k rn

I'm just saving up

[heavy summit]

i was gonna retheme, but the GA reopening caused me to work 10-12 hours a day

i legit have to TT my time back 12 hours just so i can play my animal crossing when i get home and everything is still open and awake

[brazen horizon]

oh no!

[tawdry sage]

Can someone help me with on how to possibly decorate my island to make it a 5 star rating im trying to do a monster theme with fossils outside and everything

[frozen axle]

are shrubs counted as trees

[heavy summit]

probably not since theyre new

[frozen axle]

just wanna know if I can spam them without incurring tree penalty

[uncut goblet]

Tree penalty?

[heavy summit]

if u have too many trees

[heavy summit]

its a negative

[jade sedge]

put my cat in AC ^.^

[heavy summit]

wait, that cat doesnt have 2 different eye color and wearing a suit while having blond hair

[patent sky]

Can confirm shrubs are not counted as trees

[jade sedge]

My cat follows the way of K.K.

[outer garnet]

how many trees can you hav before you hit the penalty??

[patent sky]

I have no idea but I have a lot and am literally at the limit

[heavy summit]

ask a dataminer

[patent sky]

I had to delete trees one by one until I got back to 5*

It supposedly like 250 or something idk

[uncut goblet]

I have my island open with a code, and am happy to give clothes and items to those who visit!

[tawdry sage]

Who here is good at decorating and getting 5 star rating that wouldn't mind helping me im going for a monster theme with fossils outside and everything

[heavy summit]

just follow isabelles advice

its just a numbers game, having a certain amount of fences, trees, flowers, and furniture

[tawdry sage]

i understand that but like im putting fossils all around and wanted imput lol

[heavy summit]

why do you want 5 stars tho, other than lilies of the valley theres really no benefit

[patent sky]

Put them on second level cliffs to make them bigger ... ?

Golden can, then gtfo of isabelle's bs

I redid paths and last mush lamp came in

[tawdry sage]

like i have this as a set up it's an outdoor museum and i dont know how else to put things lol like do i move all villagers up to the left quadrant's and use the whole lower half to museum lol

[umbral gale]

ppl have such nice islands while mines literally a dumpster lmao

[unborn swift]

Same I love that it’s supposed to be peaceful and I’m stressed af

[heavy summit]

just take ur time and do what you want lol

[calm magnet]

I feel that so hard lol

[blissful stone]

@patent sky

[patent sky]

Cuuute! Omg I need to get some butterfly models

[heavy summit]

theres more models than flick visiting my island

[outer garnet]

that bird wing butterfly model!! omg!!

[heady galleon]

[north saddle]

Looking for amazing ideas if anyone has one?

[hidden kindle]

@merry shuttle ideas for what?

[vocal forum]

@hidden kindle do you have the ID for that path? It looks really nice!

[merry shuttle]

@hidden kindle to make a good looking island. Like terraforming it

@hidden kindle to make a good looking island. Like terraforming it
@merry shuttle my advice is to use the shapes that your island came with and start updating small areas, terraforming as you go

[drowsy shoal]

@hidden kindle to make a good looking island. Like terraforming it
@merry shuttle That's so vague, though. What aesthetic are you going for, city, tropical, rustic, cottage, etc? What's your current layout? How much are you willing to change it, etc...

[pearl palm]

Smaller or larger plaza?

[agile root]

How do you do the sideway inclines like on the side of the cliff ?

[ornate compass]

This is near Ruby's house. I'm trying to add something. What should I add?

[hidden kindle]

This is near Ruby's house. I'm trying to add something. What should I add?
@ornate compass you cant go wrong with a white birch log stool and some white birch log stakes 😉

[willow elm]

Not sure how to make this small neighborhood look nice haven’t started yet

[tawdry sage]

This is what I have for now for my outdoor museum I need ideas and help lol

[patent sky]

Freda!! Hi

[north saddle]

@patent sky oh man are you open for tours at some point? cuz from just your overview map your island looks incredible! im really bad at making cliffs and rivers work

trying to make my cliffs and rivers but they just end up looking pretty awkward and out of place

[patent sky]

@ornate compass you can use the star clocks an face them backward to create smaller nova lights!

[ornate compass]

@hidden kindle That looks good, but log stakes don't have a birch version

[cerulean belfry]

Did anyone else get caught by the incline limit and lose all desire to play

[hidden kindle]

@ornate compass you can use the star clocks an face them backward to create smaller nova lights!
@patent sky i love the little reading area lulu!! is that new?

[patent sky]

Yes it is!!

[hidden kindle]

👏

[quartz shard]

Lol I just took out a loan for 98,000 bells, I don't even have 8,000 XD

[ornate compass]

@patent sky good! I will try it!

[patent sky]

Log stakes 100% come in birch lol

[royal dew]

Here’s a tour of my island! Hope you all enjoy it!

https://v.redd.it/u9zelgofc9v41

[round compass]

John omg could you come to my island and give me some tips 🥺

@royal dew

[topaz shale]

almost done with my island and realized i have nowhere for my orchard

[round compass]

Rip 💀

[maiden knot]

Did anyone else get caught by the incline limit and lose all desire to play
@cerulean belfry yes

[north saddle]

@topaz shale you could segment part of your islands to feature different fruit trees instead, so that you wont need an orchard

[topaz shale]

i don't think im going to do an orchard anyway so i'll just sprinkle the fruit trees in my different neighborhoods

wow i was mid sentence

our minds

[north saddle]

mind reading

[topaz shale]

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-lateralus-parabol-third-eye-tool-gif-16499016

[maiden knot]

I had everything all planned out, and then 8 incline limits hit me.

[patent sky]

Ya know.... those ta-nook-ies and their little businesses...

[patent sky]

It's.... okay I've been using it only bc I used so much stone to make it tbh

[hidden kindle]

hahah

[topaz shale]

it looks like a po0p

[pearl topaz]

if i were to pay one of yall 5 million bells and a fistful of NMTs would you help me design my island lmaoooo

[woven drift]

[quiet peak]

I need design ideas

[analog sleet]

I need a layout i unlocked terraforming but idk what go do

[fierce mesa]

i’m gonna send a video of my city and residential area but none of the buildings are moved yet 😣

[winter geode]

I’ve been building something I can’t wait to share!!! Almost done!

[nimble shuttle]

I need entrance idea

[heavy summit]

surround ur entrance with shrubs

[nimble shuttle]

I dunno wat to put there

[heavy summit]

and u let people in by digging up the shrub

[willow terrace]

Someone help me design my island please ahaha

[lunar heart]

Finished my wee barcade/boardwalk tonight

[deft stump]

anyone wanna help me layout my island?? just finished moving everything but don’t know where to start

[wicked cloak]

is it better to make a layout & terraform to it or just roll with it as u go? what have u guys had the most success with

[heavy summit]

roll it as u go first

then change it when u get a feeling of what you want

[fierce mesa]

i like having a general idea at least

[indigo dirge]

Hi pls give me ideas on my island and ideas where to put the tailors and the nook cranny shop. Feel free to critique my stuff, I’m not creative so if you hate my design ihdc thanks

[pearl warren]

@wicked cloak I rolled w it until i got every structure, then i started designing and now im terraforming

[fierce mesa]

it helps to have a goal or aesthetic in mind so you’re not moving things mindlessly

[heavy summit]

also helps to not destroy everything just to realize u dont have a plan

the default island is good enough on its own to play around in

[inner delta]

I'm getting pretty close to finishing the right side of my island

[fierce mesa]

i made that mistake

that looks sick

[uneven eagle]

lol I destroy as I make tentative plans

I don't understand razing the entire town

[rancid wraith]

Thoughts on my island layout?

[blazing moss]

Anyone got a diner idea?

[fierce mesa]

wow that’s beautiful

[uneven eagle]

bc destroying a cliff? Easy. Building one? Feels like it takes way longer lol

[fierce mesa]

that’s true

[inner delta]

A bit too neat for me but if you like it, great

[wicked cloak]

yeah thats the problem i ran into, destroyed the cliffs & now im strugglin

[uneven eagle]

im just like rip everyone if brewster has the new leaf cafe lmao

[fierce mesa]

i like working in sections

[pearl warren]

@rancid wraith what do all the empty lots have?

[deep spear]

yeah having the grid helps

[fierce mesa]

i left a little lots just in case new shops come

[inner delta]

Yeah I kinda just wing it when creating cliffs

[uneven eagle]

idk where i want to put my museum ugh lol

[daring crypt]

yeah building cliffs drives me crazy especially when i THINK im facing the right direction where i want to add a piece but then i click and my islander turns and builds or destroys something right next to where i meant to put it

[rancid wraith]

@rancid wraith what do all the empty lots have?
@pearl warren still working on that lol, the right side has all of my flowers, left side is like a park, middle area is where i put a fountain (gathering area)

[lost sorrel]

Does anyone know the size of the whole island?

[fierce mesa]

i want everything to look really pretty and rustic but symmetry and organization is too ingrained in my brain

[inner delta]

I've kinda wanted to separate my buildings from my houses, but there are just too few non-house buildings that you can move

[heavy summit]

I have a pretty good island ||prison island|| before and after teraforming, people still love the island even tho it isnt a completely new island, people couldnt even tell i didnt destroy the whole island

[fierce mesa]

i like that idea

[inner delta]

Not bad

[pearl warren]

@rancid wraith yeah the structure is nice but you might have trouble finding things to fill in the lots w

[fierce mesa]

i left none of my islands natural features and i wish i worked with the landscape

[heavy summit]

if you dont know where to start, use teraforming to bandaid certain natural areas that prevent you to make bridges,inclines, and roads

my bridge wouldnt line up with the incline so i digged a little into the river and cliff, etc

[inner delta]

My problem with cliff and river creation is getting them to look somewhat natural but I feel like I did a pretty alright job

[rancid wraith]

@pearl warren you're right about that haha, i guess it all just takes time to figure everything out

[fierce mesa]

yeah that looks super natural to me

[ornate compass]

It feels better than before, but it still feels like it's not enough

[fierce mesa]

idk how to make mine look natural mine are super artificial

[heavy summit]

its gonna be hard to grow trees/flowers/ furniture around this area

[fierce mesa]

my rivers are literally straight lines

[inner delta]

Mostly there just as a path

[hidden kindle]

It feels better than before, but it still feels like it's not enough
@ornate compass tiny library? 🙂

[inner delta]

But I'm unsure how exactly I wanna do my land use

[lunar heart]

Yeah the overall shape of the land on my island is generally the same way as it came. Forcing yourself to work within that space and twisting it to your needs was a great starting place for me, the restrictions bring out your creative side.

[inner delta]

Maybe I'll expand that cliff a bit to make a little hang out area or something

[pearl warren]

I really need inspo for the area around my townhall im not sure what i wanna do

[rain notch]

What fencing and path do you guys think looks best with the new museum exterior? The change made me have to change my setup and now idk what would look good <.<

[fierce mesa]

@ornate compass this isn’t my idea but this kind of thing could look super cute

[inner delta]

I will say, an Idea that I've been wanting to play around with is to have a house on the first tier, surrounded by cliffs that are higher, up to the third level

[fierce mesa]

my villagers houses are tiered

i think that’s a cool idea

[lunar heart]

@rain notch The iron fencing with the terra cotta path is what I have in front of my museum and I like it a lot, combined with brick inclines.

[ornate compass]

@fierce mesa It feels mysterious and cute

[inner delta]

I have the iron fencing around my museum

[hidden kindle]

I will say, an Idea that I've been wanting to play around with is to have a house on the first tier, surrounded by cliffs that are higher, up to the third level
@inner delta maybe some inspiration for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/g7zztx/so_happy_with_my_cliffside_house_i_love_having_a/

[ornate compass]

@hidden kindle thats cool but i don't hav tiny library diy recipes

[inner delta]

I haven't played wth pathing yet because it's such a wip

[fierce mesa]

@ornate compass i know right!! i would totally do it for myself if i had the custom design slots hah

[inner delta]

@hidden kindle i was thinking a lot further, like surrounded by cliffs so it's like a little enclave

[ornate compass]

Heh

[little sparrow]

I'm giving a tour of my 5 star island for anyone who need inspiration! Dm for code, will only be open for an hour or so

https://youtu.be/t_kA4JnJZnI

[ornate compass]

This is Rudy's house. I'm trying to add something more?

[opaque bronze]

I just restarted my island 😫 gonna be such a pain doing this all over again but hopefully I’ll have a more symmetrical and beautiful island when it’s done. My first one was terrible

[hidden kindle]

@hidden kindle i was thinking a lot further, like surrounded by cliffs so it's like a little enclave
@inner delta then maybe my town center will be some inspiration haha: https://twitter.com/AcnhFreda/status/1251635376751427584

[fierce mesa]

i got an extra tiny library diy recipe if anyone is interested

[austere atlas]

I just started today any tips?

[ember sand]

Anyone with a forest theme here? How are you transitioning from land to bridges?

[fierce mesa]

u just started the game today??

[inner delta]

@hidden kindle that's pretty spot on to what I was thinking of

[austere atlas]

I restarted

[fierce mesa]

have u picked your island layout yet

[strong scaffold]

@fierce mesa mee 🥺

[austere atlas]

Yea

[tough burrow]

Really proud of how it’s coming along!

[lusty scaffold]

I feel like my island layout is finally starting to come together

[fierce mesa]

@strong scaffold ok u got it!!

[opaque bronze]

What’s the best island layout to pick?

[strong scaffold]

[ember sand]

Depends on the overall aesthetic you're going for

terraforming rolls around later on so it doesnt really matter

[rain notch]

I wouldn’t do 2 south river mouths no matter what. Literally worst makes for the layout ever

[inner delta]

I have been wanting to do something with the land around my plaza but I'm not completely sure how exactly I wanna go about that, but if I turn the majority of my island into cliff, that could work pretty well

[brittle cypress]

Does anyone have any ideas for how to make your museum not stick out so much?

[opaque bronze]

Yea I had 2 south rivers before. I’m not picking that again lol

[heavy summit]

Anyone wanna visit a prison island lol

[ionic linden]

can someone help me decorate my island

[ember sand]

I'm just rolling with my 2 river mouths

[strong scaffold]

i hate my double south rivers :/

[rain notch]

I have two South now and it’s been hell. No room for anything on land. I turned my left opening into a cove/ oasis with no river though (: it looks pretty cool

[cursive wren]

i wish i could refresh my island without losing all my stuff

[strong scaffold]

but i have way to much stuff to restart 🥺

[inner delta]

I have 2 south rivers, I'm not gonna lie, I chose it because I wanted an island island but I didn't know about the terraforming function lol

[strong scaffold]

and i lovee my villagers

[ionic linden]

can anyone come to island and help me decorate pls

[inner delta]

Yeah I'm too invested to restart lol

[cursive wren]

looking at these videos i feel like ive been playing animal crossing all wrong.... all my buildings are so close together

[ember sand]

I can't wait for hamlet to leave so I can spend 75 NMT on finding apollo

[rigid idol]

@cursive wren You can't play Animal Crossing "wrong"

[ember sand]

Your island is your oyster babey

[deep spear]

i have 2 souths seemed fine to me even tho i cut them off now

[rain notch]

I’ve made do with what I have and it’s come out pretty well. I’ve played every game expect HHD and there’s never been terraforming before. so I’m fine with everything not being completely perfect

[cursive wren]

"wrong" as in, ive made early decisions that have frustrating financial impact to change now

[heavy summit]

People who saiys u cant play animal crossing wrong never tried crossbreeding

[ember sand]

Stalk market cancels out any financial trouble haha

[rain notch]

Playing the Stalk market is how I’ve been able to find completely re arranging my island twice now lol

[heavy summit]

[rigid idol]

I've made a lot of decisions I changed, but it's so easy to get money that it doesn't really matter, just buy turnips

[cursive wren]

i didnt really plan early enough and now its frustrating paying for incline and building changes when i just want to get a basement too

[mystic gazelle]

@cursive wren dw mine are all close together too lol

[lost sorrel]

Why is it so hard to make money for me with turnips

[cursive wren]

yeah this is the first week i saved up for turnips

[worthy pagoda]

i kinda ignored my river mouths and just made them little fishing inlets

[cursive wren]

its also time too, right

[ember sand]

?

[mystic gazelle]

rip to river mouths

[ember sand]

Turnip time is from 5am to 12pm if that's what you meant

[cursive wren]

it takes time to rearrange your island

[ember sand]

woops

[patent sky]

Guys I highly recommend the prison island tour

It's an Experience

[mystic gazelle]

i didnt move any buildings i think its too much of a hassle

[ember sand]

I kinda just worked with what I had

[mystic gazelle]

i just build around it

[ember sand]

didn't feel like moving

[mystic gazelle]

yeah same

[woven spire]

i can’t center this?

[ornate compass]

I have a question for you. This is near Rudy's house. Do you have any good ideas for decorating this area?

[ember sand]

That might be a 2 incline situation

[mystic gazelle]

museum is 3 spots stairs is 2

@ornate compass more fences?

[worthy pagoda]

you could also just make the incline sideways so there's no worries about alignment

[tawny crane]

@ornate compass I would totally add some kind of fence or hedge around that. ☺️

[mystic gazelle]

hedges:))

[rain notch]

I made mine into a cove (ignore incomplete left river)

[mystic gazelle]

@rain notch nice!!

[cursive wren]

so cool

[rain notch]

You could always try that

[rain rivet]

@rain notch Do you have any more pictures of that cove? :0

[rain notch]

Takes up less than half the space another river would

[woven spire]

@worthy pagoda so make it thicker then add it on the side of it?

[worthy pagoda]

yeah, thats what i did for some of mine

embrace it not being symmetrical instead of being one off

[inner delta]

So I have a lot of trees and flowers, but I don't want to cut them all down

[heady dew]

Anyone know how I could make ruins?

[ember sand]

You can transfer all of your flowers to the beaches for the time being

They won't grow there

[inner delta]

I have

[heady dew]

I’m thinking frozen pillars but idk what else

[inner delta]

My entire right beach is flowers

[ember sand]

[inner delta]

But the real problem is the trees

[eager acorn]

I've been working on creating commercial lots for all of my villagers. can't wait until it's all done! 🙂

[rain notch]

It’s too big to get a pic of the whole thing @rain rivet

[ember sand]

I'm jealous of your stitches

[rain notch]

Still need to add flowers n decorations

[strong scaffold]

🥺

[grand solar]

(Ignore the weird cliff that isnt a waterfall and pretend it’s a waterfall) do you think it looks better if I just keep it as two waterfalls or should I just change it to one waterfall

[hidden kindle]

It’s too big to get a pic of the whole thing @rain rivet
@rain notch really cool!!

[slow bridge]

how have you guys dealt with weird island layouts? i like having a more natural island but like i feel like i have such a weird layout the way my island spawned itll be like impossible to do anything with it unless i start from scratch :,c

[inner delta]

I love the T rex body lol

[woven spire]

now the small patch of grass is annoying me LMAO

[ember sand]

If you made it 2 waterfalls you can plop a bush in between

[worthy pagoda]

@woven spire this is what mine looks like and i also stuffed my lily of the valleys here

[hidden kindle]

just set up this apiary after looking at pictures of some IRL, now to wait 3 days for all the trees and weeds to grow in and decide whether i hate it 😄

[deep spear]

i redid the Klaus courtyard

[rain notch]

I love weeds as decorations

[mystic gazelle]

@hidden kindle nice:)

[woven spire]

@worthy pagoda ok hold up that looks nice

[rain notch]

The courtyard klaus deserves

[deep spear]

i wanna add the david but people want 200 nmts lol

[worthy pagoda]

yeah i couldn't get it symmetrical with the path up from the resident area so i made it sideways instead

[rain notch]

I don’t want anything enough to pay that many nmt 😭 also I like to keep the rare stuff for myself lol

[deep spear]

yeah the only rare thing ive sold was the south pole

[kindred yarrow]

@deep spear you can buy it online for like 2 bucks if you have any spare change on a card

[mystic gazelle]

or just wait for it to show up on redds boat

[deep spear]

ill get it eventually hopefully

[kindred yarrow]

My boyfriend is lazy so he paid 25 bucks for a complete set smh

[worthy pagoda]

how often does redd even show up?

[kindred yarrow]

Anywhere from 3-25 days^

[fierce mesa]

i should have sold raymond for 100 dollars

[kindred yarrow]

Rip to non-time travellers

[mystic gazelle]

noo@fierce mesa

[green zenith]

@ornate compass do you have the QR code for that wood platform pattern?

[kindred yarrow]

raymond aint even dat cute tho no hate not worth 100 tho

[cursive wren]

what is nmts?

[fierce mesa]

i practically gave raymond away bc i didn’t know he was rare 😳 no regrets doe

[inner delta]

I have 42 native fruit trees, 36 other fruit trees, and 62 hardwood trees

[kindred yarrow]

nook mile tickets

[rain notch]

What kind of flowers do you guys think would look good up there? I use mostly white with hints of pink and yellow but I think I want a more tropical look for this

[fierce mesa]

i don’t like raymond he’s just super rare and new

[hidden kindle]

What kind of flowers do you guys think would look good up there? I use mostly white with hints of pink and yellow but I think I want a more tropical look for this
@rain notch can you do some hibicsus bushes??

[kindred yarrow]

yeah i hope they had chelsea from pc shes so babie

[fierce mesa]

maybe some lilies?

[final umbra]

Does anyone have a natural island theme? I wanted to do that but dont know where to start with the layout.

[mystic gazelle]

i saw someone sell raymond for 1500 nmts😷

[kindred yarrow]

throws up ickie

[worthy pagoda]

how do people even get that many NMTs??

[mystic gazelle]

ppl be crazy

[hidden kindle]

@final umbra (not the latest pic but gives you an idea)

[fierce mesa]

aww chelsea is cute

[rain notch]

I have some room for bushes yeah! And I was thinking lilies too. I hate that bushes only bloom in season now though..

[kindred yarrow]

@worthy pagoda buying from ebay, cataloging, selling rare items etc

[fierce mesa]

i feel like if u got THAT many nmt and THAT many bells the game isn’t as fun

[rain notch]

Raymond is ugly

[green zenith]

@rain notch i'd do orange windflowers, i live in the tropics and they look like the wildflowers growing on the roads here

[fierce mesa]

period

[kindred yarrow]

i have 1,000 nmt combined w my bf and i havent even wanted to buy anything so it suxx

[mystic gazelle]

yeah it depends for everyone but i like the long game run

[fierce mesa]

omg that’s insane how did y’all get so many nmt

[kindred yarrow]

i have all lucky cats, all katanas etc so now im just like what the hell we gonna do now

[fierce mesa]

i’m trying to sell my soul for ketchup at the moment

wow a power couple

[kindred yarrow]

sam how much is he worth i can hook u up?

[mystic gazelle]

@fierce mesa personally when i was looking for dobie i looked often on nookazon for listings and posted on listing channels that i was looking for him

[fierce mesa]

@surreal mountain you’re so sweet but i couldn’t!!!! i gotta grind for my baby

[green zenith]

NMTs seem really easy to get since you can easily get 2k tickets in an hour of play... but 100 NMTs is insane

[hidden kindle]

im not sure what to do with this area, its up on a second story cliff, near my shops. i have a natural island. flowers need to go but i dont know what else to put 🤔

[charred jolt]

When is leif coming back

[fierce mesa]

@mystic gazelle ohh that’s smart i haven’t really tried using nookazon

omg i meant @kindred yarrow for the first message

[charred jolt]

He comes more than once right

[kindred yarrow]

oopsies haha, nd yeah i feel it

[mystic gazelle]

once a week

[kindred yarrow]

i want lily but i have no empty spot

[green zenith]

i feel like NMTs are a fiat currency at this point, you sell things for them, you buy other things with those ones

[kindred yarrow]

she was my ac baybe since gc and cf

[mystic gazelle]

exactly

[fierce mesa]

she is adorable

[rain notch]

@hidden kindle look up itsbriclynforest on Instagram her whole thing is natural islands she does tours all the time

[deep spear]

yeah i never trade in bells anymore

[marble portal]

Does anyone have photos of how they decorated space right before the beach? I can't make things flow easily :x

[kindred yarrow]

its cause people used glitches to ruin the bell economy rip

[rain notch]

The islands she tours have like every single space filled with something

[atomic flicker]

Need Furnitures That Looks like Building Lights. I know Server is one, but any ideas of what other furniture can make a cliff look like a building

[kindred yarrow]

and nmt arent as easy to hack and exploit so theyre worth more

[hidden kindle]

The islands she tours have like every single space filled with something
@rain notch i feel like most of the time its just weeds 😂

[fierce mesa]

idk how people interior design so well it blows my mind

[kindred yarrow]

here's my library, its been updated doe

[fierce mesa]

that’s AMAZING what!!!!

[stable sierra]

Amazing!!!

[rain notch]

I’ve seen some random items be used as cute little decorations before @hidden kindle I just get good ideas from her page

[marble portal]

Yeah!! I love it

[kindred yarrow]

thank u all its my pride nd joy. yall can come tour after im done chillin out

[hidden kindle]

I’ve seen some random items be used as cute little decorations before @hidden kindle I just get good ideas from her page
@rain notch yeah for sure!

[atomic flicker]

Oooh

[fierce mesa]

are those wooden block bookshelves?

[ionic linden]

can an experienced player help me decorate my island

[kindred yarrow]

also, my power getting my straight bf addicted to animal crossing with 250+ hours

[marble portal]

I feel like I've made/started off my island too rigid so now it's just straight edge af 😂

[kindred yarrow]

and @fierce mesa the ones by the table is, the others are wooden bookshelves

[atomic flicker]

Anyone Have ideas on what to use to decorate a cliff?

[fierce mesa]

ohhh i gotta get me some of those

[mystic gazelle]

@atomic flicker flowers?

[atomic flicker]

maybe

[kindred yarrow]

i have recipe but they take 5 books ripppp

so if you order 5, you can only make one a day

[marble portal]

Or behind a cliff 🤔 I always struggle trying to figure out how to not block it

[barren swift]

anybody have a nature island i can your for ideas? i’m lost on what i should include on mine

[atomic flicker]

Also, Why can’t we put wall mounted furnitures on Cliff Sides!?!?!?!?!

[kindred yarrow]

@barren swift maybe something like a fairy garden?

[strong scaffold]

i had books in my store but its closed :/

[ionic linden]

can anyone help decorate my island

[barren swift]

i actually have a garden that needs flowers rn @kindred yarrow how would “fairy” even be involved?

[kindred yarrow]

you can tt backwards and itll still be the same stock if youre comfy with time travel

[fierce mesa]

u can order books in the catalog i think

[atomic flicker]

Such Wasted potential

[quiet peak]

I'm out of ideas and my island is bad

[woven drift]

Y’all my island’s resident services location is so screwed up. It’s literally 3 blocks away from the airport like does anyone have any design ideas for islands rhat have the same thing I have

[atomic flicker]

Dw We all Have shit islands

[kindred yarrow]

not actually a fairy garden, just a very pink garden with fairy themes? lemme find inspo pics

[rain notch]

Why can’t we put rugs outside 😩

[woven drift]

My island is legit shit I can’t

[rain notch]

Fairy circle path

[green zenith]

@atomic flicker I used garden lanterns around my cliffs

[deep spear]

that rug thing did annoy me when i found out

[barren swift]

@kindred yarrow my garden has a shell fountain and other white garden things

[hidden kindle]

Why can’t we put rugs outside 😩
@rain notch if they dontchange this soon im going to cry lmao

[jaunty quartz]

I feel like my island doesn't have any space for anything.

[kindred yarrow]

You know the little pots with the fairy garden kits? Things like that.

With some mush lamps, stools etc.

hide it in the forest like a secret garden

[atomic flicker]

I thought of Using diner signs to show off the advertising shown on building sides

[barren swift]

i don’t have those lamps yet but my garden is actually not too far from that. just not within a forest

[ionic linden]

can any kind person come help me out and decorate my island with me

[atomic flicker]

OH

[strong scaffold]

that’d look sooo cute

[quiet peak]

I am not creative

[atomic flicker]

CUSTOMIZED PANELS!!!!

[mystic gazelle]

those are fun:)

[kindred yarrow]

me neither bro. i have no talents im just an animal crossing fanatic since age 8

so is my grandma LOL

[barren swift]

anyone wanna come to my island and give me some suggestions?

[atomic flicker]

I’ll slap those Panels all around the cliffs to make it look like a Building

[kindred yarrow]

@atomic flicker thats smart!!

[quiet peak]

Imma look up some designs because my brain to small to think of some

[rain notch]

Using little designs like these also help fill space

[green zenith]

I'm trying to make my island a bit like the Carolinas. Palm-lined beaches, Charleston-style secret gardens, the upper inclines being the Appalachian Mountains

[kindred yarrow]

and reduce real weeds thar bring downn scores

[fierce mesa]

my custom design slots are full and i’m heartbroken about it not gonna lie

[green zenith]

I have a massive fruit orchard with all the exotics

[atomic flicker]

Somehow, All this Island Designing is making me fail Online Classes oof

[hybrid lantern]

i'm having the hardest time designing a spooky / witchy / cool toned / idk island 😩

[kindred yarrow]

thank god i graduated at 15 LOL i hated school

[green zenith]

@hybrid lantern it'll be easier when it's not summer

[hidden kindle]

does anyone want to come on a tour? i can probably squeeze one in before i have to go. its night time right now but you can still get some ideas

[green zenith]

@atomic flicker my last final was yesterday, now I can start decorating in earnest

[hybrid lantern]

yeah i was thinking of tt to autumn.. such a pretty season in game

[atomic flicker]

Mine ends next week oof

[rain notch]

Black flowers and all cedar trees makes me think witchy!!

[deep spear]

i do want to see my island in other seasons

[kindred yarrow]

try a fortune teller stand? maybe some witchy patterns on the ground?

[atomic flicker]

I’m making mine a Japanese City you see in Ultraman or Kamen Rider

[fierce mesa]

whatttt how’d u graduate at 15

[cerulean belfry]

HAHAHAHA who cares about my layout my biggest eyesore is GONEEEEE

[kindred yarrow]

9-10 grade classes in 9th, 11-12th in 10th

[atomic flicker]

Cuz My Island is called “Abare Park”

Really hope People know what I’m referencing

[rain notch]

Dark dirt paths and I think there’s some lab clutter that could look like potions?

[kindred yarrow]

and some 9th in 8th

[royal bluff]

any tips?

[kindred yarrow]

did most of my work online and was in classes years ahead of me

[atomic flicker]

Oof

Now that’s all kinds of lucky

[kindred yarrow]

@royal bluff for fish you need to have a cliff river and a pond

[green zenith]

@hybrid lantern just hit em with one of these

[royal bluff]

yeah i just dont know what to do for the bottom area

[kindred yarrow]

not lucky just A LOT of effort bro and depression so i was bored and forced myself to be good at something

[atomic flicker]

Make a City or a cafe out of it @royal bluff

[hidden kindle]

last call for an island tour of my mountain island 🙂 dm me if you want to stop by

[atomic flicker]

What you want in your town?

[green zenith]

https://nookazon.com/product/926879513 i was going to recommend adding stonehenge for the witch aesthetic but it costs so much

[atomic flicker]

Also, I hit 5 Stars before immediately thinking about changing my entire island AGAIN LOL

[kindred yarrow]

same

[fierce mesa]

wow that’s crazy

[green zenith]

could always have four stone arches in a circle, surrounded by a grove of cedar trees, with some magic stuff in the middle

[kindred yarrow]

i made mine and my bfs island

[hidden kindle]

stongehenge makes me so sad lol

[kindred yarrow]

mine is 5 his is 4

[atomic flicker]

I swear, When I look at my Island, It looked nowhere near 5 Stars

[hybrid lantern]

ooh

[fierce mesa]

mine is 4 even though it’s hot trash

literally nothing in the island is finished i don’t understand

[atomic flicker]

So I was like “Yup, Time to change this Island AGAIN”

[kindred yarrow]

yall can look at mine after im done dealing w my mess of a hair. only brushing it bc i have to get my fking eyebrows and lashes done tomorrow and i dont wanna look like a clow

[green zenith]

five star rating is just ticking off boxes if it's anything like the other games

[atomic flicker]

Cuz My god Island is not 5 Star worthy xdxdxd I don’t deserve 5 star lol

[fierce mesa]

i’m gonna shut down my switch for the night lol

[patent sky]

@kindred yarrow that's a MOOD

[kindred yarrow]

im sure its cute!!!!

[fierce mesa]

or i’ll never stop

[atomic flicker]

Well I’m happy that I got Robot Hero

[kindred yarrow]

i havent brushed it in weeks depression tings

[atomic flicker]

YEAH I CRAFTED ROBOT HERO >:3

[fierce mesa]

felt that

[kindred yarrow]

animal crossing is my serotonin

[fierce mesa]

honestly ac > prozac or whatever LMAO

[atomic flicker]

Oof I am On Prozac

[kindred yarrow]

ac over all meds i take peroiodat

periodat

[green zenith]

i got some zoloft and uhh kk bossa playing on repeat

[kindred yarrow]

celexa for depression, trazadone for sleep and lamictal for bpd or whateva

[barren swift]

can anyone come visit my island and give ideas?

[atomic flicker]

I need to move my buildings

[kindred yarrow]

flexing our anti depressants LOOOL

[atomic flicker]

and destroy ALL OF MY RAMPS

Cuz I heard the max is 8 Ramps and 8 Bridges

[fierce mesa]

wait is celexa good lol

[atomic flicker]

Idk I just take the med my doctors prescribes me

[stoic patrol]

Anyone else have their villagers homes tightly packed next to each other like mine? All one space next to each other mostly

[kindred yarrow]

eh ive taked it since i was 11 at 40mg i think its decent w my other meds can cause heart problems doe

[craggy heron]

Does anyone have a shop in their island I can go and see

[fierce mesa]

oh dang ok

[wind wind]

Yea, I've got something decently similar @stoic patrol

[fierce mesa]

sorry that was outta pocket lol

[stoic patrol]

@wind wind ok

[kindred yarrow]

nah its good im tryna think of this one shit one i was prescribed

[stoic patrol]

I'm thinking to give my village's homes more space like yours there so they can have a yard at least

[green zenith]

@stoic patrol i made mine into four rows, about as tights as yours, extending from my town center

i like having it be an urban sort of thing

[rain notch]

@stoic patrol I have something similar too

[kindred yarrow]

my ssris cause hyper s***** tendencies and light sensitivity rip

[stoic patrol]

the tightly packed villager homes leaves so much space for the rest of the island

[rain notch]

Mine have fence to fence yard with two trees in between the fence line

[green zenith]

sucks to suck i'm on the cool ssris that you're not technically supposed to mix with alcohol but you can to feel nice

[kindred yarrow]

ME

[fierce mesa]

damn i hate side effects

[stoic patrol]

@rain notch yeah similar to my island you have lots of extra space on your island to do stuff

[green zenith]

only side effect is nausea and sometimes i get stuck under a couple layers of dreams and need to wake up from all of them

[fierce mesa]

that second one is kinda cool doe

[rain notch]

@stoic patrol do yours have yards at all?

[stoic patrol]

@rain notch no yards at all

[atomic flicker]

Dear Nintendo, Bring back Dream World

[green zenith]

@stoic patrol have you put small pieces of furniture outside? I have a table/chair by some of mine and the villagers sit down to read at them

[kindred yarrow]

wtf thats scary

i throw up like 10 times a month bc of mine rip

[green zenith]

staying hydrated helps

[atomic flicker]

AND FIX YOUR UI

[rain notch]

@stoic patrol you can probably fit something. Mine are super small but I’m still able to make the yards look full with flowers/ 1x1 items. Is there room for fencing between them?

[kindred yarrow]

i think data miners found data abt dream world

[atomic flicker]

Who’s here hating the UI? I know I am

[hidden kindle]

i cant wait for dream world

[kindred yarrow]

horror maps i miss u

[atomic flicker]

Why can’t I just craft the same multiple items in one go?

[rain notch]

Is that the houses that you can go in with a code

[chrome slate]

Sometimes I feel like I didn’t do enough to my layout and then I look at my starter layout and uhhh

[patent sky]

What is dream world? Pietro made me quit NL

[atomic flicker]

I might as well use my MayFlash Stick to go turbo on

[patent sky]

10/10 needs more water

[stoic patrol]

@Roo I didn't give them space at all, I might redo it all

[hidden kindle]

What is dream world? Pietro made me quit NL
@patent sky you can upload your town and people can visit whenever (without actually coming, its like a "dream" version)

[stoic patrol]

Only space for one bush

[rancid wraith]

@chrome slate damn that looks amazing!!

[green zenith]

ohh, maybe have a communal area on the other side of the road?

[rain notch]

Oh they’ll definitely bring the dream world back. No way with how much we can do in this game will they not reintroduce it

[green zenith]

@kindred yarrow https://youtu.be/TCjU07XqzEM

[kindred yarrow]

my map looks ick but my town is cute

[chrome slate]

@rancid wraith thank you! I’m just lucky it’s coherent cause I didn’t plan shit LMAO

[inner delta]

So in preparation for the continuation of my terraforming, I cut down all but 5 of my apple trees...

[atomic flicker]

I’m not uploading my Shit Island I’m in the works of it

[rain notch]

It’s already been semi confirmed that ||the cafe is coming back as well as a gyroid event||

[stoic patrol]

@rain notch yeah I have one space like in that picture i posted, just enought for one push or fence between,

bush*

[green zenith]

why didn't you just eat your native fruit and pick up the trees?

[marble plover]

aaaahhhh ive been working all dAAY

[rain notch]

Hmmm I’d maybe space them out more then for a yard. Mine are still super close together and take up very little space but still look full. I’ll dm a few pictures in a min

[stoic patrol]

ok

[marble plover]

and the above cafe!

and my able sisters! figuring out more stuff to throw infront of it

[hidden kindle]

aaaahhhh ive been working all dAAY
@marble plover very cute!! i love the pink theme

[marble plover]

thank you!!

[primal shoal]

Wait so you can have too many trees and flowers?

[crisp snow]

what’s the best way y’all have gotten fences to show up on the map? I wanna make a large flower section n don’t want it to appear empty on the map but also don’t want it to look like an ugly line under the fence

[woven drift]

You can have too many trees yea

I’m not sure about flowers though

[primal shoal]

So what’s the minimum/maximum amt of trees??

For 5 stars

[dreamy fox]

me who literally just went back down to 4 stars from 5 bc i have too many trees lurking:

[versed depot]

220 max is what I saw

No clue if that's 100% accurate though

[tawny karma]

cam someone help me make my island 3 stars

[soft flame]

@Vessel#4816 what do you need?

[round compass]

Anyone have any ideas to create around my town. I already have a cafe, zen garden, graveyard and amusement park. Anything else

[heavy summit]

@tawny karma get 8 villagers

[tawny karma]

i have 10

[swift pier]

looking for inspiration for town entrance! if anyone could share that’d be much appreciated ❤️

[heavy summit]

Place down 50 fences and plant trees and flowrs

[still mango]

Does anyone wanna visit lol

[heavy summit]

Boom 3-5 stars

[round compass]

@still mango did you make your island into a maze 😳

[heavy summit]

Using cliffs as walls makes it easier lol

[still mango]

Yes lol

[round compass]

That gives me anxiety

[still mango]

🤣🤣

[round compass]

But it looks beautiful

[heavy summit]

Now shrubs makes it harder

U cant see that on mini map

[still mango]

Thank you. It took forever

[worn flare]

Bro have people pay to enter, whoever finishes in 20 minutes gets a reward😂

[sudden mirage]

The map is right there though. Save it for use later.

[still mango]

It’s not really one entrance and one exit, everything kinda connects

[worn flare]

Ahhh. Still very nice👏 I would’ve gotten so mad making that lol

[woven drift]

@still mango can i visit lmao

[still mango]

Yea dm for code @woven drift

[stark flint]

@still mango I always wanted to see what someone’s island looked like as a maze

[mossy kelp]

i wanna visit too @-@

@stark flint same i’ve never seen one before

[still mango]

@stark flint same that’s why I created one myself lol

[hidden kindle]

has anyone found beach planks that look worn out & overgrown?

[wicked cloak]

trying to make a "koi" island, should i get rid of the whiskers & just make it fish island? lmao or should i give up entirely

[nimble shuttle]

Ft ketchup in box

Lf nmt

Dm me

[willow elm]

@nimble shuttle wrong chat

[nimble shuttle]

My bad

[marble portal]

I think I've given up on decorating my island for now and it's going to be what it is i still haven't seem to figure out how to make areas flow with each other yet.

If anyone has island tours, please let me know ❤️ In desperate need of inspo 😄

[hidden kindle]

I think I've given up on decorating my island for now and it's going to be what it is i still haven't seem to figure out how to make areas flow with each other yet.

If anyone has island tours, please let me know ❤️ In desperate need of inspo 😄
@marble portal my trick is just keep adding water till all the empty spaces are gone 😂

[green zenith]

@wicked cloak it's cute and keep it like that

[plucky summit]

anyone have a solution for when shop entrances are 3 squares but your paths are 2 squares? it's off center and I dunno how to fix it ;-;

[marble portal]

Yeah I might just try to do that. But my island looks riiiigid. I'm trying to get more practice in actually making it flow a bit more

[green zenith]

@plucky summit make a pavilion outside of it

[primal shoal]

Does someone have a guide for getting all the rocks in one place?

[plucky summit]

a pavilion?

[deep spear]

i got 5 rocks together by accident

[green zenith]

yeah, like a courtyard outside of it connecting the building and the path

[plucky summit]

ohh gotcha, that's actually a great idea. like a little shopping center right outside. that's brilliant, thank you!!

[green zenith]

@primal shoal either block every other piece of ground except your target so they can only spawn in one spot, or smash them every day and pray

[deep spear]

actually 6

[royal bluff]

any ideas for the bottom area i need more houses i just dont know where to put them

[green zenith]

keep with the pair-of-house thing you have going on up at the top

i'd say build up another cliff but you probably just started since you don't have ten houses

[royal bluff]

ive had the game since release

[tacit wharf]

hello!

[royal bluff]

im just redesigning my island and im not sure where to start

[ruby sequoia]

cute ❤️

[royal bluff]

i like the name of your island very nostalgic

[harsh dirge]

Thoughts?

[ruby sequoia]

❤️

[marble portal]

@harsh dirge I love it!! 😮

I love how it's not static straight through -- def gave me inspo for how to do mine

[harsh dirge]

Thank you!❤️

[marble portal]

I definitely need to learn to add more space in front of my buildings

[green zenith]

yeah i like how it winds around

[rustic flare]

Island open to explore DM for code

[glad sage]

that looks cool i like all the little separate hills and stuff on the right

[honest junco]

Can anyone give me their opinions on which incline looks better 🥺 dont really have an aesthetic im going for but any feedback helps

[smoky nacelle]

Stone

[marble portal]

stone imo

[drowsy quail]

^^stone!

[honest junco]

Thanks!! Going for stone then 🙂

[misty dove]

does anyone have staircase dimensons?

[glad sage]

like 4x2? i think

[topaz shale]

yes 4 by 2 but it has to be attached to a 2 wide cliff at the top and space for the gyroid at the bottom so like 6 by two

[tawdry palm]

here's my layout :>

[cosmic isle]

Love it

[stiff onyx]

Love it

[topaz shale]

the actual staircase is 4 by 2 and once it’s built it’s 5 by 2 cause of the landing at the top that’s what i meant to say

[tawdry palm]

i didnt kno there was a max # of inclines we could build 😓 so im trying to utilize bridges

and tnx!!

[cosmic isle]

@tawdry palm mind showing pictures of the actually island? I’m actually in the process of getting ideas.

[versed wadi]

Morning

[cosmic isle]

Gm

[tawdry palm]

@cosmic isle i could inv you to my island later if youd like! theres rly not much going on tho hhh

[night harbor]

hi quick question, do u think i should line my paths with random red/white/yellow flowers or make it more organised? or something else entirely? i cant decide lol

[agile root]

Does anyone have any cute restaurant layouts, I’m redoing mine and i dont know how to make it cute :/

[onyx frost]

I made a really cute hedge maze!!

[prisma oasis]

planning on redoing my whole island, any suggestions on where to start?

[pale garnet]

Same

[civic raft]

Who made a dig site on their island? Or anything related to the museum - looking for inspiration!

[west light]

thoughts? :o

[agile root]

@civic raft here’s what i did for the dugout

[civic raft]

@agile root love this! Going to try and get started on something similar tonight. Any chance you have the code for the sign?

[woven drift]

Someone for the love of god help me please. I don’t even want to play this game anymore because of how bothered I am of this lmao

I want the path to be two, but the path from my house needs to be three and it bothers me so much because it looks like a drive way lol

[pale garnet]

Guys can someon pls help me i wanna redo my whole island but i dont know how to start

[strong scaffold]

^

[heavy summit]

Dont connect the path to the door and ur problem is solved

[opaque bronze]

Starting fresh and I’m already sooo happy with it. Tents lined up and I can already visualize how I plan of terraforming my island 😁😁

[prime tusk]

Both those options mentioned above are good ^ You could also keep the 2 wide all the way through using the top one

[strong scaffold]

@opaque bronze i regret not picking an island that was very similar 🥺

[opaque bronze]

I restarted the game like 3 times before I found this layout lol

[prime tusk]

I wish i could start fresh but like at the same time im too deep

would kill to be able to pay for another island tbh

wouldn't mind having to work on 2

[opaque bronze]

Same. 2 islands would be cool

[strong scaffold]

all the layouts i chose from had double south mouth rivers except one and i shouldve picked it :/ it looked cool but i picked the one that looked like a bug 😣

[viral geyser]

@woven drift Do three patterns where it centers in front of your entrance

asymmetrical patterns

[prime tusk]

I just would like to try different kinds of layouts without feeling like i lose my last one. Like what if there was a save option fo some sort, i try a layout and if i don't like it i can just load that "save" and my other layout comes back to what it was

Like i love my island but would love to try other stuff too

[twin escarp]

my island is so ugly ... i’m like the least artistic person 😭😭

[small sage]

good thing i kept the switch i broke, i can start a second island anytime lol

i just can't visit it unless i buy a digital copy for one of them 😅

[marble portal]

I feel you @twin escarp mine is a hot mess lol

[small sage]

here's the current state of my museum

[still mango]

Anyone wanna visit this craziness lol

[polar salmon]

I want to add a post office somewhere but my island is full. Otherwise I’d have to... beach post office... no. 😦

[twin escarp]

@still mango omg ur island looks so good

[steady hinge]

Anyone have any cool ideas for a tree orchard?

[tawny glacier]

guys, redd hasnt come to my island yet since update day and im sad, i want cool art but cant get any :((((

[still mango]

@twin escarp thank you!!

[twin escarp]

i feel you i feel like i’m running out of space for my orchard

:///

[polar salmon]

Way too small of room

[ember sand]

Dobie 👀

[polar salmon]

I’ve checked many days and no redd uhgh

[tawny glacier]

[small sage]

Dobie came by my campsite but i passed him for Wolfgang

[molten sable]

What should i do with the area in front of my residential services?

[tawny glacier]

im sorry, that joke was horrendous

[twin escarp]

anyone know if u can terraform rivers that lead to the ocean?

[mystic maple]

Anyone wanna visit my island and maybe give me some layout/design tips? I’m terrible at it XD

[twin escarp]

or if they just stop where the grass stops,

[still mango]

@twin escarp you can’t

[small sage]

do a public park with a playground

[molten sable]

@twin escarp you can terraform the rivers anyway you want, but you can’t change where it enters the ocean, sadly

[frosty bloom]

@twin escarp you remove the river but not the river mouth

[polar salmon]

Nope

[twin escarp]

thank u guys 💘

[ember sand]

What should I do with the beaches if my island is forest themed

[pale garnet]

Guys how should i start redoing my island

[small sage]

wolfgang and merry :)

[still mango]

Dm if you wanna join 😄

[molten sable]

@pale garnet i’m doing the same thing, i’m just slowly moving all the buildings to the beach

[mossy kelp]

visit that island!! it was so nice!! ^

[still mango]

@mossy kelp 😁😁

[deep spear]

i want to give erik a log cabin like estate

[proper sand]

Where do you all start designing your island? The entrance?

[ember sand]

Yessir

[polar salmon]

Entrance is a great place to start

[molten sable]

i prefer to start at the entrance, it can really set up the layout.

[mossy kelp]

yep!

[tawdry marsh]

what should I put in the empty spot, any ideas?

[proper sand]

Nice

[dense heart]

i got rid of my stupid hop scotch pebbles guys

[polar salmon]

Plaza with fountain

[ember sand]

Fountain and hedges?

[molten sable]

so for my shopping area using stalls, what kind of shops should i have?

[dense heart]

it’s also been a bop since i msgs in this chat lol

[tawdry marsh]

it actually leads from a plaza I made!

[ember sand]

You can put a stall in that blank space

👀

[molten sable]

@tawdry marsh you should just have like a little seating area w/ vending machines and stuff

[ember sand]

not sure about the dimensions

[tawdry marsh]

hmm, those both be cute ideas

[timid arrow]

Anyone know of a website, or other resource, with good design ideas and inspiration – e.g. video walk-throughs or screenshots?

[molten sable]

it looks like it’s in between two houses, so it seems fitting for a seating area

[still mango]

@timid arrow Pinterest

[tawdry marsh]

yes! maybe I'll do a seating area then

[timid arrow]

I get my creative juices flowing by getting inspired by others.

[still mango]

YouTube

[molten sable]

i’m now trying to decide what to have at my stalls

[timid arrow]

@still mango Do you have any Pinboards or good YT channels you follow?

[dusky thorn]

Anybody got a cool layout w/ waterfalls for their home they wanna show off?🤓

[still mango]

@timid arrow nothing specific but just search animal crossing on Pinterest and you’ll find a bunch of stuff

[timid arrow]

@still mango 👍👍

[indigo trellis]

@molten sable i've got a stall with an accessory stand and mirror for a little jewelry shop sorta thing, one with wooden instruments maybe it's like a woodworker's stall, one with tea kettles, and one with incense and fragrance sticks. I also put the pocket camp fortune cookie stall in the area, and a flower wagon to imply a flower seller.

I'm working on fleshing it out still but thats what i've done so far!

[still mango]

@woven drift that’s a stall lol

[molten sable]

@indigo trellis i really like the instrument idea, do you have any custom designs you used specifically for your stalls, or just base ones?

[still mango]

Np

[molten sable]

@woven drift it’s pretty good for like a custom shop

[void walrus]

do people usually center the lettering in custom designs or do they place the letters near the bottom?

[still mango]

Anyone wanna visit

[amber socket]

Does anyone have white phone booths I can buy? Literally been looking for about an hour or two now... 😭

[still mango]

@amber socket look in furniture chat

There’s tons

[amber socket]

Literally been spamming there, and none

[still mango]

Oh wow

[amber socket]

So I'm just asking nicely at other chats LOL

[still mango]

I have black

@woven drift there’s hundreds lol

[woven drift]

All furniture is outdoor furniture if you set your mind to it

[still mango]

Any furniture you see can be placed outside

Yea there’s instruments

[molten sable]

now i’m going to try to make a good design for my stalls

[frosty bloom]

@ember sand> What should i do with the area in front of my residential services?
@molten sable @ember sand I added a parking lot

Oof mb LOOL

I pinged two ppl zzz

[still mango]

@molten sable there’s designs for stalls in patterns qr room

[molten sable]

@frosty bloom i really like the parking lot idea, it would fit really well with the location i was talking about, but i think i’m going to do a shopping area.

[toxic temple]

hate how my neighborhood looks sigh

[molten sable]

@still mango alrighty, thank you, imma have to check it out

[frosty bloom]

Oooohh sounds good

@toxic temple same.

We’ll get it right eventually though XD

[toxic temple]

i moved them all together and put stone paths in front of the homes but sigh.. j doesnt look good

[ocean trench]

does anyone have a zen garden example? Looking for inspo

[frosty bloom]

The houses on my island are still all over the place

[molten sable]

ahh fuck, i forgot i can’t get other people’s designs until tomorrow because able’s isn’t open

[still mango]

@ocean trench I kinda have one

[molten sable]

so i think i’m going to have an ice cream stall, i seen a neat honey, maybe a coffee one, does anyone have any other ideas?

[frosty bloom]

It’s going to cost me a lot to move them all multiple times but whatever’s. Once I’m done with everything I want to start decorating it based on the season/holiday/current game event/etc.

[wild heron]

Wanting to visit someone’s island for some fresh ideas 😊😊😊

[tribal tundra]

wanted to share my current layout. my island is still a wip but its got a cottagecore vibe to it that I’ve worked hard to cultivate

[still mango]

@molten sable do one for electronics

[molten sable]

@still mango that’s an interesting idea, i could always have a rusted part on it

[still mango]

True

[toxic temple]

hey can paths be under homes?

[mystic maple]

Everyone else’s islands are awesome!
...and then there’s me lol

[still mango]

My island if anyone wants to visit

[pale garnet]

I hate my residential services so much

They are right at the entry

[frosty bloom]

I think if you add the path before the home, yes they can. Not totally sure though @toxic temple

[wild heron]

@still mango gates open?

[tribal tundra]

@mystic maple I love the shape of your rivers tho

[jaunty orchid]

did a mush forest thing, still a WIP though!

[frosty bloom]

Ooooooh

[mystic maple]

@tribal tundra lmfao thanks

[tribal tundra]

one of my favorite spots

[still mango]

That’s cute

[toxic temple]

aw i love it!

[tribal tundra]

all the residential areas look like this. thx to whoever made the qr for these stepping stones because they were my direct inspiration

[frosty bloom]

I can’t wait for ||vegetable to be implemented||

[jaunty orchid]

Also a WIP of my bathroom!

[stark minnow]

If anyone here has made a mini amusement park section on their island, I would LOVE to see photos of it for inspiration! 💚💚 DM me with photos.

[worldly birch]

do any of you have double bottom river layouts that you've managed to make work? it's starting to stress me out a bit as my island gets more and more developed

[molten sable]

so this is a weird way to show it, but for the shopping center in front of residential services, should i have the four stalls spread out to take up as much space, or have them lined up so i can do something on the bottom as well?

[still mango]

I like bottom option @molten sable

[bright shoal]

@still mango lol, a maze?

[still mango]

@bright shoal yes lol

[honest phoenix]

Hey, if someone made a little market in their island, ill love to see it (for inspo) !
Especially ancient markets ! 😉 Dm me with photos !

[bright shoal]

@still mango😂😂😂

[still mango]

@bright shoal what lol

[bright shoal]

Funny cause u made a maze and cooooool too @still mango

[high sundial]

I’m doing a forest-esque town. I know what I want to do with certain things but I’m having trouble figuring out what to do with my entrance. Could anyone share theirs for inspiration?

[worldly birch]

can someone come visit my WIP town and give me some ideas about where I can move my shopping area and how to handle my rivers

[mossy kelp]

@stark minnow I have a smaaaalllllll little park but it’s not very amusement park-type :/

[still mango]

Anyone wanna visit

[marsh cliff]

Is anyone doing an island tour? I want to see what people are doing since I'm stuck. 😭

[analog seal]

Yoooooo Mitch

[still mango]

Hi

[marble portal]

Any furniture items recommended for the top? 😮 imma put some flowers and maybe scrubs but not sure of furniture items that'll look good

[swift stag]

There’s 10 villagers max correct?

[still mango]

@analog seal yes? Lol

[analog seal]

That's sick 😂

[still mango]

Wanna visit lol @analog seal

[analog seal]

I do but I would die

[molten sable]

does anyone have a shopping center area that i can visit for inspiration?

[still mango]

@analog seal it’s not hard. Everything is connected

[bright shoal]

@marble portal something that lights idk... For the night.. Like nova star? Etc

[analog seal]

I'll have to say no, but I'd love to later on

[marble portal]

Ah damn. I might get some floor lamps. I don't have recipe for nova stars 😵

[ocean kayak]

hey did anyone have any inspiration about your own island? if u have please dm me for my island inspiration,thanks ^^

[woven drift]

@marble portal maybe a bench to sit on?

[still mango]

Anyone wanna visit

[molten sable]

question, am i crazy, or is that a giant hedge maze?

[still mango]

It is

[molten sable]

love that 😂

[still mango]

Never been done before so I had to be the first

[full vortex]

what does it mean when people say airport aligns with the town hall

[marsh cliff]

There's something mildly sinister about your persistence and the layout, I feel like you're going to chase visitors around with an axe through the maze or something.

[neon helm]

The 2 spaces from the dock of the airport line up with the double doors of your hall @full vortex

[marble portal]

What I realize is I need more furniture cataloged 😂 as I have nothing

[molten sable]

they should really let you move residential services 🙄

[neon helm]

They should indeed

[full vortex]

@neon helm is that possible ?

[high sundial]

Mine is in such a horrible horrible place

[neon helm]

@full vortex its all by chance when your island was generated

[molten sable]

i thought mine was in a bad spot, but they way i redesigned my entrance, it’s better

[neon helm]

Possible, yes, likely? No.

[high sundial]

I just don’t like how close to my entrance mine is

[molten sable]

also, i’m going to have a duck pond, and i’m super stoked to start making that

mines decently far from my airport

[neon helm]

Same here

Im glad how far mine was

[molten sable]

it’s just awkwardly to the left

[marble portal]

This game is r/mildlyinfuriating. How house spaces are 3x but bridges/inclines are 2x. A cap for inclines, not allowing to move the resident services

[swift stag]

Did we choose the location of our residential service or was it automatic? I can’t remember 🤣

[molten sable]

agreed @marble portal

automatic, lol

[neon helm]

Yeah i agree @marble portal

[swift stag]

Mine is in a good location, thank goodness!

[molten sable]

like 3 wide path feels to big, but two feels too small

[marble portal]

But you have so much flexibility and ability to terraform 😱😂

[neon helm]

I made mine work well but its still just a pain

[marble portal]

Or how just one path looks so awkward? Because it's skinny

[high sundial]

I’m trying to terraform a lot more, I just don’t know what to do with my entrance and I don’t know where to put my houses while I’m fixing everything up

[barren swift]

anyone have any good picnic areas?

[molten sable]

i have this nice little bench at my entrance, lol

and i think across from it, imma have my duck pond.

[barren swift]

go duck yourself /s

[high sundial]

I had finished my whole island but then I went crazy and tore everything down.

[molten sable]

@high sundial i fELLLT that

[frosty bloom]

Loool

[molten sable]

i’m slowly demolishing while i’m rebuilding

[sour gazelle]

I've yet to do anything with terraforming I think I just want to scrap the whole damn island and make it flat

I'm scared though

[barren swift]

i’m out of ideas of things to make on my island that aren’t basic and overused

[marble portal]

Ahhh demon slayer

[molten sable]

does anyone else’s island feel incredibly small

or is that just me, lol

[signal zenith]

I need help with a flower garden design

[high sundial]

I threw away like hundreds and hundreds of flowers. Now there’s so much furniture and stuff on my beach. I want it to look very foresty and overgrown and it just looked way too put together and it drove me insane.

[signal zenith]

Idk what to do lol

[marsh cliff]

I went crazy with bushes and flowers for my enterance.

[molten sable]

@marsh cliff that’s really pretty, i love that!

[frosty bloom]

My island feels fking huge for now. But that could be because it’s flat af except for top right corner

[high sundial]

Mine actually feels way too big, I feel like there’s too much to decorate and it all feels empty. That’s why I like filling it with trees. Now I think I’m going to try to fill it with some natural looking terraforming.

[marsh cliff]

@molten sable thank you!

[tribal sluice]

How do you connect your sections together? :/

[molten sable]

i couldn’t really do that though, because i have you enter from the right of residential services from the airport

[barren swift]

sections?

[molten sable]

i was thinking about having a waterfall behind my residential services, but i don’t think i’ll keep it, because you can barely notice it

i recently got a sphinx and i want to have it on my island somewhere, but i have no idea where it could fit

[high sundial]

Maybe keep it but make another tier so the waterfall is doubled and bigger

[brittle crescent]

maybe a taller waterfall

[high sundial]

So you can notice it

[brittle crescent]

Ah u beat me to it

[high sundial]

Great minds think alike :p

[still mango]

@molten sable put Sphinx somewhere on the beach

[brittle crescent]

big brain moment

[barren swift]

my orchard

the flower garden that will be leading up to it once i get the flowers i want

[high sundial]

It’s just I want it to look overgrown and stuff but I want to do those kinds of things where people have paths but not really? Where it’s kind of like they have things mapped out but it’s not just plainly mapped out

[swift stag]

Your map is satisfying to see even though it’s not clear

[still mango]

Anyone wanna visit
