i love animal crossing and you
Yeh waterfall and some chill space with outdoor seats and tables @woven drift
My island is too big w too much empty space
tysm
i love animal crossing and you
Anyone got a good site to look up some inspiration for island design?
Can people send their maps?
I think twitter, because that's where people have to uploadtheir pictures anyways
this is great timing. i was just about to start photoshopping my map and redoing my island
Anyone got a good site to look up some inspiration for island design?
@viral fulcrum Pinterest probably has some good stuff to look at
New addition to the island 🌳
i love animal crossing and you
beautiful
Finally spent the bells to upgrade my house, now back to spending on them on demolishing and rebuilding ramps!
he got rid of his rivers almost completely
i like the rivers they really came along nicely!
dont be shy put so more 👉🏻 👈🏻
you know...i can appreciate what players do with terraforming and what they do with their islands. but i think its important to not feel like, OMG I GOTTA COPY THIS, and realize some themes players incorporate just won't work for you
New addition to the island 🌳
@swift stag omg the mushrooms are sooo goooooood
Very cute
I’m redoing my whole island so not every section is complete yet but I worked on this part today 🙂
Thank you guys 🥰
ooo
if you had 2 1 space waterfalls on the side on top pf the waterfall u have that would look nice
That’s the 4th level so unfortunately I can’t plus my island has too many waterfalls so I guess it worked out well 😅
ah
Wouldn't mind some practical advice on my layout before I begin my massive terraforming project!
ohhh i like the river
is that a croissant island?
Something like that!
i didnt see it as a croisant until you said that
It started out as a crescent moon, but I guess I'm a little hungry and was thinking about breakfast.
ha
Croissants mmmmmm yum
Is there a french here
I wonder if it would look better only having 4 houses in the center area, and moving the 4 to the lower level on the left (CD/1 2)
do you all have opinions on creating indoor spaces but outdoors?
@woven drift check out cloudys pic! It would be great for your museum space
omg tysm
ik i alr said this but am i the only one who feels like other peoples islands r bigger i
Ik its familiarity but STILL BDKSBD
mothra 🍐 | sedum island What
trying to come up with a neat entrance at my airport
my spirited away themed area!! would like some advice 🙂 it’s not in the photo but i added a mossy western grave stone
think i need a better path though
Cutee
When someone says your island is boring but you thought it was extremely neat and well put together 🤠✌🏼
I’m sad now ah ha
DONT LISTEN TO THEM
YOUR ISLAND IS DEF BEAUTIFUL😤😤
my island is a trash heap right now its ok
you don't need that kind of negativity in your life @woven drift
🥺 aww thank you guys
@woven drift whoever said that probably has a messy island lol
@jaunty obsidian looks great! maybe the hyacinth lamp DIY would fit well in that section? it has a great mix of natural and magical that i think of when i think of miyazaki
send pics pls can i see
I was wondering if anyone could help with making a heart pond and heart pathing like guide me etc ^^
@scenic blaze ooo i cant believe i didn’t think of that!! ty😊
Would anyone with four-five stars wanna stop by and maybe give me their opinions on my island? ;-;
looking for magical foresty island ideas!!
Hello guys! I’m here because I’m really lacking inspiration right now. I feel like everything on my island is wrong and I was wondering if anyone could give me a little bit of help
@woven drift https://youtu.be/jqCd4imNW9s this was the tutorial i watched for mine, imo it’s the easiest way

@jaunty obsidian yeah but I don’t know how to plan it out 😂
@rocky trail what do you like about your island? like..pick one or two things you like about the island, maybe the shape or something you built and then try to compliment it and grow outward
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWnUOTeUYAUNp-q?format=jpg&name=large i may get rid of the panels lol
@queen nexus ooo i rlly love the add of brick
my entrance is rly close to my resident services, does anyone have any cute foresty/whimsical/suburban ideas for it? or inspiration photos!
thank you 🙂
you welcome
@barren karmaour map is really similar! let me send you some pics
the resident service is the biggest eyesore no matter where it is. facts.
my museum forest-y area
this is the most recent upload i have of my map
and here's what i did for the airport entrance https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1254063189702004737
@prisma turtle well I have been working on my resident service and I think it came out looking good. But I have no idea on how to build around it. Everything seems so unrealistic
the housing area is so neat
can someone send pics of their diner pls
do it! it's why i posted it! 🙂
@flint zinc my diner area, it’s a bit small😅
THANKS
there's some other pics and videos on my twitter if you're interested in seeming some of the other areas
i needed it
nws 😊
Does anyone have inspiration for a secret beach?
something with neon maybe? idk how many items there are that's neon tho
i think most popular neon item is the coconut lamps
@woven drift i'm turning mine into a smuggler's hideaway with cardboard boxes, barrels, and some pirate-y looking things.
Does anyone have inspiration for a secret beach?
@woven drift mine is at the back of my campsite
I need help. I know this isnt my Island, but I don't know where else to ask.
Which one is best for indoor Decoration?
@scenic blaze That is a really cool idea!
@woven drift mine is at the back of my campsite
@versed wadi lol mine is the Back of my Campsite too xD
@woven drift i'm turning mine into a smuggler's hideaway with cardboard boxes, barrels, and some pirate-y looking things.
@scenic blaze great minds!
has anyone made an outside concert area?
I have a secret trail to the beach. But the beach is still empty and I do not know what to put there
How do u guys think I could fill up this bland spaces? I have a lot of weird empty spots that I have no idea on what to do with them...
If any of you would like to help me, I can open my doors and share the code so you can come and see
Palm trees would look good
Maybe a little picnic area? Or trees off course
@snow flicker the problem is that trees block the shops 😿 I did put some trees to see how it would look
Hmmm
@rocky trail seating area or fountains
maybe a market place
Bushes then
my solution is always pretty flowers surrounded by hedges
But it’s a huge empty space. I think I’m gonna end moving all houses again
Flowers or bushes
@rocky trail or since it’s near the shops you could add some stalls (like a market place)
personally i think that trees blocking the view of some things adds visual interest, but i can understand if other people don't like that
could someone send me a pic of their house exterior? need some inspo
@rocky trail Put flowers or bushes. Yeh that would look good.
I usually only add trees as a background or on vertical paths
@rocky trail you could also make a cafe space
Or maybe benches and a fishing area
@undone stirrup
Yes I think I’m going to put a fountain and try to do like a small shopping area
Nice
If anybody needs some layout inspo here’s mine
@rocky trail you could put a cafe/diner/bar
mines has too ground
@ember kestrel cute!
Thank you guys for the help!
@prime sail very pog, could I come visit?
thank you!!
Imma try to do something and show you what I come up with
@signal tree idm, but quite a few areas arent finished, ill dm you a dodo
I just mowed the lawn this morning 
I just finished yesterday I've been holding an open island to celebrate
was getting a bit overgrown lmao
I want to make my village on a hill in the top right corner. I’d like to have a cute frontyard, but I’m afraid that I won’t have room for expansions.
good job guys with these awesome island. I'm completely stumped with how many projects I have to tackle that I end up not doing anything! 😭
@ember kestrel You don't TT?
nope, I think it takes away my personal joy. just how I prefer to play
if anyone’s available could i get some critique on my island if anyone would like to visit i only have small bits that need to be moved
hello
you guys make me feel so boring lol
I have the entire left side of my island covered in flowers that I have to somehow pick up and put into flower beds and organize and it's rattling my brain 
@queen nexus we cover the highlights 😉 we’re not perfect
I'm thinking if I have people water my flowers to get me the golden sparkles I don't have to have so many flowers to breed taking up all my island
An example of a small area
Nice
It must be purged
my hybrid growing area is not nearly as organized as yours lol
...
Burned
i basically just dump them from my pockets into any open space and then wonder why my yield isn't great
Yield
and then have to move them two days later
when I was a kid I considered myself a professional gardener so I jumped into this game with the same expectations of myself but there's so many genetics and rules and types of flowers
i have a four stairway museum but i'm thinking of demolishing that so i can have inclines for other uses
And I thought the whole point of animal crossing is to enjoy it.
Welp
At least I enjoy myself.
Everyone plays differently @snow flicker
I go on vacation to other islands a lot.
I mostly had those flowers breeding to get the pretty blue and pink windflowers but now I think I have enough
so now I have to figure out wtf I'm doing with all of them lol
when you start the hybrid grind and end up with too many lol
dans la correction
I have no idea how to breed flowers
ummmm that is my life right now! lmao
I was so on top of my breeding and now I got lazy
i'm mostly breeding green mums for decor and purple hyacinths for hyacinth lamps rn
i also have to fix a misalignment with my cliffs i created oof
I am professional procrastinator
Anyone got a nice suggestion what is should do with the townhall plaza?
I put a waterfall behind mine, shrubs to left and right
Please stop spamming memes
https://twitter.com/TrinityAcnh/status/1254252043918688256?s=09 this is the video I recorded of it incase you need a visual
I want to redecorate and change my island’s theme, so i want to invite anyone who is interested to visit before i destroy it😭, dm for dodo!
@woven lark use #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales unless you're asking for specific feedback
ooooo very modest waterfall entrance i like it
thank you, I'm glad I managed to think of it lol
Woah my island will never look like that
Im going for natural
I like ur island a lot tho
Making that should be hard
And you already have kk slider
This is my planned map! Any ideas or feedback?
Is a rainy evening on budelli island 🙂
That looks sad and beatiful at the same time
using the island planner is a struggle because it doesn't have templates afaik
@tame thunder correct
when you realize you fucked up and now you have to move your bridge lol
REMEMBER GUYS, 8 BRIDGES & INCLINES ONLY
How is everyone storing/displaying their turnips?
nager loin d'ici
Justy!
i tried to set up a farm location for mine, but got yelled at by isabelle for having too much crap on the ground so now they just get shoved in the basement
nager loin d'ici
LOL I forgot Isabelle does that
@noble agate please stop spamming
thnx
I use to make a lil turnip garden, but isabel considered them as clutter. And i want to keep my 5star island for valley of lilies. So back at the basement they ho
uh
I think as long as you have under 15 you're fine
anyone got any good zen garden i can reference?
(I dont have isabelle yet)
(I don't even have upgraded resident services.)
= 10 bells Very good deal
@woven drift yeah idk if you noticed what they said just now, but there's an 8 incline and bridge limit and I think I'm counting 9
mrchewy good sir... sell weeds to leif
Yes i saw, but I was lazy so I probably used the same bridge
save them all and get double
hey guys, i was wondering, how many weeds can i have on my island without isabelle telling me about it?
Wait wat
I know who lief is
@thin slate i was trying to send an image of a zen garden i saw online but it wont load
@woven drift i have a ton of weeds and she has never mentioned it to me
I wish I had him when I was new, I got a lot of profit from my weeds but if I had him I would've been much better off
So lief is more addicted to weed than timmy? @ember kestrel
Should I put an island in the middle of the star lake or leave it be?
yup, he pays 20 instead of 10
@tame pilot you could, but you need a way to get there, maybe it will ruin the image of the map
for sure
@woven drift I was thinking stepping Stones from the middle bottom of the star
@tame pilot that would be cute! Maybe you could make a little picnic area on the island?
Yeah thats a good idea
@scenic blaze um interesting bc at the beginning, when you're trying to get kk to come to your island and get 3 stars, she told me to get rid of it
@woven drift that could be cute
Maybe some benches and a fishing area.
do you guys have fruit orchards? im wondering if its even worth having 10x of different fruits
Nope
@cursive wren I find 6 of each kind to be enough
I’m planning to add an orchard
@cursive wren Yes, I have a small orchard consisting of 5 per each fruit
Im not bothering to collect non native fruits
mine is simple, 4 of each. not the prettiest
can i see your orchards?
i feel like my orchard just eats up space and doesnt look very nice
@cursive wren I'm terraforming rn so my trees have been moved sorry. I do them in a 3x3 alternating grid tho
i just mix the fruit trees in with the other trees on my island
Does anybody have breakfast lunch and dinner in animal crossing? That would be cool.
How would that work? @snow flicker
lmao excuse the filter
My orchard is carnage, I densely packed it and now it's too much hard work to harvest
I'm going to move them about the island instead
I would really appreciate it if someone with 4-5 stars could swing by my island and give me some constructive criticism! I have a dodo code ready I just need some help on ideas ahhah
Hi all I'd appreciate your opinion. Does the pond in the upper right corner look like a flame?
Any good house layouts? I'm planning to redo mine, I'd like to work with height a bit.
Maybe make the left and right flame burst symmetrical
the asymmetry helps with the look of the flame
That is true
else it'd look like a thicc trident or something
I tried making it symmetrical at first but it didn't look right to me
@wintry junco i'm not seeing a flame, i'm sorry 😦 what i would suggest is looking up pixel art of flames and trying to imitate the placement of the squares, and then rounding out the curves afterwards
Make the middle one a tad more pointy maybe
I ordered a new switch so I have to start over. This is what I came up with so far. Any thoughts?
Thanks everyone I'll keep working on it
And flames are also really curvy and unpredictable, so try to add some more (vertical) curve to it
@wintry junco
@wintry junco ember island? lol just watched that episode yesterday
Hey guys I need a lot of help on my island. It’s not that good right now, I am trying to go for a tropical theme, can anyone help me out? Please dm
@ancient sorrel I love the heart island!
@torpid vine yep haha, got the name from there and wanted to have at least 1 fire themed spot on my island
@ancient sorrel Whats up with the 9 squares?
Thanks @bold mirage
Can someone give me a theme to try and make a island layout to? I don’t hv a many ideas XD
Forest is a lot of fun
@woven drift I have it on my current island. It separates my flowers for hybrids
Felt like sharing my nooks ad 😂
That's some great wisdom right there!
@ancient sorrel Maybe a lighthouse? And the empty space could be used for a swimming pool or hot spring?
I mean the empty space next to the town square
How long does an empty plot stay open for?
in my experience only the day that you set it
if you're gonna have an empty plot i'd plan to spend that day island hopping
or have a villager lined up
would anyone care to donate to my bridge 🥺👉🏻👈🏻 any small donation would help . and i’ll greatly appreciate it.
I time travel backward and lost 2 villages. What could it happen ? Please tell me
@woven drift thanks! Great idea!
@fallow estuary ask in #700158341158142043
@ancient sorrel ummm that island plan is hot af
Still working on my villagers
I think confirmed is 1-3 days before villager moves into empty plot
@scenic blaze thank you
@ember kestrel thanks!!!
I don't know exactly what kind of island I want, I just want it to make me happy and look appealing to me
np!!! I can't imagine living in such a beautiful place, your villagers will be lucky lol
Woah!!!! @empty stratus
Ty :). I spent a lot of time on it this weekend. I think two weeks ago I posted the first version right after terraforming the structures!
Wondering if anyone would like to come over and rate my island
Is there an island layout guide to have a protected airport to prevemt against guests who say they want to sell turnips, but pillage instead
It’s super good, it’s what I think my terraforming abilities are In my dreams 😄 @empty stratus !
Is there an island layout guide to have a protected airport to prevemt against guests who say they want to sell turnips, but pillage instead
@narrow isle I've been to several islands where they put the shops close to the front and fence them off when people arrive
even tho the fossil is not finished i just wanted to show my entrance 😔
Thats nice bro
@steep thicket I can help
oh yeah i’m also stuck w designing my island i don’t know what else to do 😢
do you have any examples of the exterior of your museums? I need some inspiration u.u
is my picnic area cute
Yes
thank u luv
@wooden pebble which fossilpart do you need?
pretty cool @wooden pebble I was thinking on placing fossils around too, but I need... Well, fossils haha
@wooden pebble When it is the stegon. I have the head for you
@heady kestrel can i hav pls 🥺 i’ll give u hedges lol, i’m kinda broke rn 😢
@visual musk thank you!!! you shld do a cafe to make it interesting !! mine is still building but i’m just slacking lol
@wooden pebble

Please help someone I’m so stuck
Wait the one you are missing is a a other one
nope i’m missing a stego head or some like that

But that is stegohead🤔
@woven drift someones mad 😭
I’m screaming
I just wanted to show off my new cafe I just built. Dm if u want to know the custom flooring I had gotten. 🥰
nobody said they time traveled but go off king/queen😢
- it don’t matter if they did 😭😭
Ikr
i haven’t time traveled a day and it really doesn’t matter
Like I’m so confused
if you don’t, you can always buy stuff from other seasons on nookazon or discord
LMFAOOO
ive been time traveling to try and get rid of villagers that I realy dont want
bruh i’m peeing y, are you so mad over a game LMAOOO
lmaoo
I’m not lol
this man thinks hes a prophet
sit down 😭
Everyone plays the game how they want, stfu @woven drift
So why u saying we time traveling @wooden pebble is on the right day
shutcho ass up u wanna get on somebody head
I don't tt but clearly you're the idiot
There's a bunch that said they aren't time traveling
Let people play how they want to play
I’d say like 50% of players tt and don’t tt
then do it
lmao this kid really just said honor
Lolll
Personally I think tting shouldn't be allowed if it affects other players. They're ruining the market and I've already had the xmas items spoiled for me....
Lmao everyone spends the same amount of time terraforming regardless of TT
Clearly that’s evident by your behaviour here on display for everyone @woven drift
I dont want to be an american idiot :/
Why are you being toxic about animal crossing
this channel isnt for arguing about time travel, please go to one of the general chats, @woven drift
Go back to COD
Hey I need help with the layout of my island. So I had plan to make the shape in the back look like chaos emeralds but sadly cause of the way water and cliffs are set I really can"t and idk if want to put some villager house in the middle or section them all off.
don't feed the troll guys
@woven drift shutcho no star having ass up😭
😂😂😂😂
He eatin good
@unkempt meteor are u making a symmetrical town?
hy
i suck at making decent entrances anyone have ideas
May someone help me with ideas for my island? No hate please, just suggestions I am about to get terraforming.
I hadnt plan on it originally kinda just happened @bitter inlet
Yeah your IQ is clearly high af
Yea clearly I mean he can spell so great
I mean hes far off but he is right about it being over 120k lol
anyways, <@&494448231036747777> please deal with this troll?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Exactly
thank you!
I just blocked them
Thank you!
... throw furniture everywhere
if u put decorations everywhere, it will raise your chances
Okay LOL
im mean rating
@ripe geode fences
^
I made my island absolute chaos 😂 it worked
Furniture, fencing, flowers
^
Oop I came and started reading all the tea and it got deleted lol
And talk to Isabelle she'll tell you what to put
yep, flowers, fences and furniture, also if u have more than one bridge/incline u get more points
honestly u can get 3 stars just by designing ur island normally and it’ll come at some point
@ripe geode put lots of flowers everywhere !!!
can you make paths curved?
Can someone help me fill the spaces I have in front of able sisters
if you mean custom paths you need to put another path down first
Tysm
no, i mean this kind of curved.
My island is gonna look like a flipping trash can but
@woven drift wanna see what i did w my ables sister?
Idc I need terraforming
Oh can’t make those kinda curves since this is a grid based layout game
anyone here whos open to let me tour their island? Looking for inspiration
its fine. PM me if you're ready 🙂
you can come to mine if you’d like
lemme visit y’all island too🥺
moving / placing buildings ? done. now, gotta find what to do with the empty patch of lands
i’m running out of inspirations 😢
just finished moving everything so i can build from scratch!! does anyone have any ideas on where to get started bc im lost
hi!! if any of you have a park area on your island i’d love to visit for inspo 🥺
@bitter inlet nice thanks!, Ill go after the first island
Same 😅 would anyone be interested in coming to my island and giving me ideas to fill up the empty spaces?
@deft stump my first thought on what to do is use paths to connect your resident services to the airport!
@wicked orchid I have a big park ☺️
Any house layout ideas?
We really need that Spa to scout some inspos
you could also leave space for a park in front of R.S.
@vestal gorge do you know what path would look best?
@deft stump start thinking about your rivers... the river mouths aren't going away so you should work on placing water before you run into issues trying to make rivers that are blocked by the cool new things you build
@deft stump i would say brick for now, but you can of course change it later on
Which one?
i did my paths in brick and probably gonna change to terra cotta later
pirate time🏴☠️
it just let me do it. does it not let you?
@pearl palm so I like all of them except the brick because even though I'm using brick, I think in this image the other two look better? I'd say stone especially if you use hedges
I'm pretty torn though
i was actually leaning towards terra cotta lmao
that's my second pick lol! so yeah that looks great
Does anybody have an island I can visit for inspo! I’m so lost when it comes to planning it out-
i like the stone it makes it pop
I spent almost all of my Million Bells on moving houses
i spent 500,000 bells moving homes
im too indecisive and picky to move my own house yet
Can a few people show me their museum entrance designs. My creativity is failing me
I think I know where to move my house
one sec @strong scroll
Same. @vestal gorge
I just completely leveled my island today and i had a few ideas but i think they suck so now my poor villagers are just vibing in nothing
I’ve been waiting for a meteor shower in my new star gazing area 😍🥰💕
Nice
very cool! @summer patio
Killing me
looking good so far!
anyone have an japanese like islands they can show? I need inspirations
@summer patio can I come over for meteor shower vibes🥺
@fringe vessel i made my roads either 2 or 4 wide to deal with that
thanks @paper edge for the tour!
my cafe is nearly finished!
what should I do here? I already have parks, cafes and a boardwalk
stage
@bitter inlet can I visit your island?
for music
sure!
@tight niche no its diffrent the bridges only move 2 blocks so she cant move it she have to reconstruct her roads
Finished our seaside restaurant!
Ooo I love that! @pulsar ginkgo
What's the outdoor stove I see a lot of people with?
brick oven?
no, the one to put pans on
hey guys, are all bridges always 2 spaces wide?
yes they can get longer to get across larger rivers, but they don't get skinnier or wider
dang.. wanted the bridge to lead to my museum but it's off by one space either place i put it 😢
Looking for someone who can help me design my island! Super chill nothing big just need some island help! DM me if your interested
@woven drift ooh rip
Decided to go with terra cotta. Should I do small plaza or big plaza, and straight corners or rounded?
big plaza with straight is my vote
same
lmao i'm the opposite i like little plaza with round
small plaza with rounded for me
Small and round gang
they're all good! lol
I’m glad I went with terra cotta I think it looks super good
Looking for someone who can help me design my island! Super chill nothing big just need some island help! DM me if your interested
Good news is I can change it up easily
yeah it's a hot path
trying to make a few cities from pokemon- if someone is good at island planning and stuff dm me, ill pay you bells or nmt or furniture. whatever u want
Whoops. Mobile pls
Question, kk only comes on Saturday’s even when you haven’t gotten him yet?
Like
You won’t know if you get him until Saturday
no he comes the day after you get 3 stars
Okay I swear idk what I’m missing I put flowers I put furniture and fences
after that, he only comes on saturdays unless saturday has a special event (like during the last fishing tourney, which was on a saturday, KK was there on friday)
talk to isabelle she will tell you exactly what to do
you need a mix of DIY and non-craftable items
Put furniture everywhere
she will tell you which one you need more of
yw!
My island looks like a dump haha
This is very off center but is this legal in ACNH? I’m gonna do more and ad more stuff but I’m trying to get an idea of a new island. (Ima restart once I have a good idea)
LF: shell arch
This is the island layouts category not catalogue or shop @keen bison
oh sry
Lmao
LOL
@autumn raven my eyes are too bad to count the pixels but i think you'll need more space for nooks, it's 7x4 and i think the place you have it on won't support that
lol
thought i'd post this bit of my island (the rest is literal trash lmao i'm just starting and don't have a lot of "good" items yet) i'm planning on changing the rock area but i'm not sure what to do there
@scenic blaze ty! Do u know If happy island designer is correct? It matches with that but Ik it hasn’t been updated since before the release
Omg that is- that is beautiful
wow @woven drift
What should I do with this blank area?
Anyone good at island design want to come over and give me some advice?
@autumn raven uuuuuuuuh tbh i've never used it so idk i'm sorry 😦
Ugf I need more diy items around my island
@scenic blaze Ok! Ty for the help tho. Lemme make sure before I plan this all out and mess up XD
How many more thoughhhhh
@patent trail can I come see your island?
I’m gonna scream all I want is terraforming
@woven drift i really love this - great eye for details, the mix of items adds so much visual interest, and your colors go well together. i'd love to see more of your island once you get it put together 🙂
@worn heath would you like to come over to mine too 😅 I have a lot of stuff but still empty spaces idk how to use
@woven drift that's so pretty oml
Sure thing! Just dm me when you can ☺️
Sure thing!
oh wow thank u so much guys!! @scenic blaze that's very nice, i'll try and post more then 🥰 i need more white windflowers haha i love the aesthetic
for the shopping area i have in front of my residential services, so i have the stalls lined up, so i can have free space for more decorations, or in four corners?
I think lined up is better if u don’t plan to add tiny items around the stalls
Can someone send me a picture of their island map? I’m having trouble seeing where the airport path is
any advice on an entrance where the res services building is very close and almost aligned with the airport?
hey guys 🙂 i currently have a 2 star island and i’m not very creative and i’m not very good at designing stuff, do u guys have any tips on how to get a higher rated island??
3 star is easy, you need 8 villagers and just to throw a bunch of furniture down really
is that all??
yep
Guys i need help 😭😭😭 I NEED TO START BUILDING A SHOPPING DISTRICT BUT IDK WHERE???
Made a little rock garden
shouldn't need that many trees tbh
lol mine has a lot since its cottagecore
mine has almost none and i got 5 stars so
I need a shopping district but idk where, my island feels so small 😔
the rock garden is so nice 🙂
If space is in issue, Tuck your shops in nice little corners as opposed to building a big shopping district 🙂
Also if space is an issue you need to terraform your island because if it’s properly terraformed to your liking there should be TOO MUCH space
@sinful drift then make more cliffs
Should I move my shop and tailors to behind resident services and my orchard to the top?
Wip
Any suggestions?
I just finally finished completely terraforming my island and setting everything up, I have so many empty spots that I have no idea what to do with
@woven drift use some azalea bushes
I got rid of every river
i cant since its not the right season for me
Theres just so much in the way tbh. I have gardens i need to move, illager house too, EVERYTHING 😭
@woven drift your island looks too uniform maybe try some corners and switch things up a little to get a natural vibe
@hard kettle I recommend it. I moved all my trees to the top of my island out of the way and it feels like there’s so much more space to do cool stuff now
has anyone got a cute layout for flower breeding areas?
@polar dagger nahhhh I planned it exactly like it is. Spent 2 weeks just drawing out the exact details of where the rivers and bridges would go, I like it this way
@copper shoal a farm: use country fence and put hay beds everywhere, use dark dirt under all of the flowers too
Everything thats nice is on the side but, that space in front of my house to the east is an orchard.. omg WILL I HAVE TO MOVE THAT :0000
@woven drift ok tbh your island not mine
Looking for 6 stone ideas
Omg im gonna have to hire people to move my orchard :000000
Can u guys show me your marketplace area
@polar dagger yeah don’t get me wrong I appreciate the recommendation and I do like the natural feeling islands but I went into designing it with the intent of it looking symmetrical and man-made
@woven drift One of my friends said since I'm at 5 stars I technically dont need fruit trees but cant you lose stars?
@hard kettle I have seen a lot of 5 star islands with like literally no trees lmao so im not positive but it should be replaceable
You guys think this space could be good for a marketplace?
I have all my trees piled at the bottom of my island lol. I’m trying to incorporate them in places
@woven drift Okay! Now that I got it I feel like I can terraform freely
I’m trying to make an orchard in a specific spot but there’s not enough space 😭😭😭
Almost done teterraforming T.T
thats so cool!!!
@woven drift there are a lot of city-based metropolitan islands so having natural and manmade is a weird combination I've never seen before.
my orchard is a tiny 4x5 lol
does anyone have a nice outdoor diner?
What should i add to faunas home? It looks bare :((
flowers!!!
^
Bushes!
and maybe some cherry blossom leaves
flowers make everything better
Ooooh
@frosty spruce usually diners are in homes but cafes are outside so maybe have a cafe instead
i have an outdoor cafe but looking to also have a diner
I'm making a diner outside, it's a work in progress though
@polar dagger lol interestingly enough I actually wanted to do a sort of mixture like that to more so emulate real life. Real towns are on plotted land with squared symmetrical paths that people work around and try to make look more natural and that’s what I wanted to do
Ugh how can I fix this? It doesn’t line up with the path leading to my museum
Your path looks 3 wide while the incline is only 2 :/
@woven drift wow
how many trees of each do you guys have in your orchard
10 of each @copper shoal
@copper shoal honestly too many
🥺
ahhh where did you find room! I tried to do 9 of each but i’ve tried in 3 places and there’s no room 😭😭😭
guys how do i remove these i feel like they are permanent
i don't know if i can get up them either
@copper shoal in the back of my island
@frosty spruce I have an outdoor diner!
@copper shoal I have 8 of each in the back of my island as well
okay~
@deep saffron I need me one of those
@woven drift Build on the outer sides walls and then climb up to close the waterfalls
5 Star Island! Welcome to Jinx Falls. Our main attractions include:
• JINX FALLS Farms
• JINX FALLS WATERFALL Viewing from our beautiful rose garden exhibit
• JINX FALLS National Park w/ campgrounds and outdoor recreation
• Bamboo Village has a 5 star restaurant experience with walk up bar
• Jinx Falls downtown including Museum compound, Nook Cranny Shopping, DIY Stalls, Parks.
• Jinx Falls Enchanted Forest feat. Able Clothing Store
My trees are so close together lol, like 1 space in between them haha
ohhh makes sense
the thing is I want the right side to be very natural so I wanted to add it there but like
thanks
My mom just had an idea to do city in the front of the island and then suburbs then farms in the very back
can someone send me their crafting services and trading area please, need some inspiration 😮
Does anyone have ideas for the areas marked in red? (Or any part of the beach) I already have a park (bottom right), music area (just left of museum), and an outdoor diner (top right of nooks) I’m out of ideas 😭 you’re also welcome to come look and give ideas
Do you have an orchard yet?
A forest would be a nice touch as well !
Yeah! Up in the top left, that’s the grid
I surrounded the trees with brick so fossils wouldn’t get lost in there
How about a dog park? Get some mom's plushie+ dog house
In the space right next to the empty beach, you can do a BBQ area too with wood items?
Awwww that’s actually such a cute idea with the dog park
Mom's plushie looks like a dog and I love it 😂 the hard part is finding them!
I’ll try hitting people up on Nookazon for a couple
I’m looking inspiration for residential areas, I prefer more natural looking
Any ideas for a themed area for marina? Like, Julian has a fairy pond, lucky a graveyard, merengue has a restaurant etc. But Marinas House Doesn’t really have a theme besides being pink. Maybe a sushi place lol
What does her house look like?
ACTUALLY HELP ME ISSABEL WANTS MORE FLOWERS AND I HAVE TO MANY ITEMS LYING AROUND
then plant more flowers & pick up dropped items
simple
@deep saffron pink
Exterior is also pink. Pink door and a pink roof
@languid jungle an octopus selling sushi... that’s some cold sh#t!
add a pink themed play ground of some sort. pink side, pink scooter, pinky springy ride, and pink flowers @languid jungle
Id like to avoid a complete pink area tbh 😅
Anyone wanna share a picture of their orchard for inspiration? I don't really m kw how to lay mine out
i feel like a sushi stand is fitting for zucker but not marina
If it’s cutesy, I definitely suggest pink flowers, maybe tulips? And she has a normal personality, so just basic outdoor furniture? Like white birch or white tartan chairs with a little outdoor sitting area? Simple but cute
*rattan
@languid jungle how does your graveyard look? I’ve done the same for Lucky but I think mine is lacking something.
i feel like a sushi stand is fitting for zucker but not marina
@wild cave yea that’s true. She’s really giving me a hard time rn lol
@versed wadi thats my graveyard
@languid jungle you could try to trade for some seashell items to put around her house. they come in a pearly white that could look cute with the pink, but there are also other customization options for them
Ooh I like that idea, that’s cute
Blue rose breeding using Paleh's method is successfully underway! My flower field is pretty and functional!
Im doing the Shell thing for Diana but if someone has a better idea for Diana I think it fits marina a bit more
Wow looks great!
Here's an older picture of the entrance, it's just out of frame haha
Good morning ~ does anyone know if I can put an incline directly next to town square or if I'll need to keep a block of space there?
it depends on the angle!
made a lighthouse area
it can be directly next to it if its side by side but it you want the incline pointed in the residence direction it has to have a space
If I put the incline so half of it is in the space where the flowers are there, will it work? (I am moving nook)
you cant place structures in half space increments but yes it will work
i think 1 space will work
Then the incline will be directly next to nook
yes, also i’m not 100% certain the incline can go next to resident services, but @wild cave seems to know
just place then incline first then see for yourself when you move the shop back
custom path placing takes so long oml-
Visit my 5star island and give me advice please 0FCPD
i’ll test for you @patent sky one sec
custom path placing takes so long oml-
@woven drift Don't even get me started lmao
Yeah I'm trying to figure it out beforehand because it also involves shifting this structure to the left as well
Looks great tho!
it would just be easier for her to see and decide for herself lol
Does anyone have a fully fledged outdoor kitchen I can see for inspo?
that looks v pretty, gimme a sec
Ty, it's getting there!
@languid jungle love the summoning circle!
Which also means I need to shift the river, so you can see why I'd like to know before tearing up flowers and such lol
My gross island home
Here you can see how tight this space is lmao
@light pumice what method are you using for your flower garden?
@patent sky is like to visit sometime!
okay so you CANNOT build it next to the plaza
So shifting between one square and two is a big difference in terms of construction
@rich tundra you can come after I'm finished decimating my downtown 😂
Yeah I'm trying to figure it out beforehand because it also involves shifting this structure to the left as well
@patent sky luckily that wont be hard to rebuild. move the shop somewhere else, place the incline where you want it, remove 1 block length from that 2nd level, and see if it lets you place nook right beside the incline. you’re going to have to destroy that structure anyway if you want to place the incline
@tardy bridge I have a diner with a kitchen part if that’s good?
@winter phoenix ily, I'll assume then that nooks needs a space between as well?
guys, one question. is it possible to move the town hall?
I’d love to see @deep saffron
@patent sky oof. Good luck. I’m sure it will be worth it!
No, @woven drift
My planned town! Any feedback? I have empty spaces on the red crosses and ai do not know what to put there...
@woven drift thats a no
Wait @versed wadi what did you do for yours? Was it you that had the ables elevated behind?
i could have sworn i’ve seen people place their inclines right next to the plaza
😩
@light pumice what method are you using for your flower garden?
@woven drift Paleh's!
@patent sky yes it will, so you’ll have to move Nook’s 3 places in total :)
for a gap on either side of the incline
that looks so pretty!
@tardy bridge this is my diner ☺️
all good :)
i wanted to go for a more natural route but i didnt know how to do that so now i have a shopping district
Seriously tysm for checking you just saved me like three hours lmao
Your layouts making me feel sad all the time 😫🥺💞
haha i faced the same problem when making my library, wanted the incline right next to the house (where i am sitting) and the bookshelf on the other side
Thank you!
alas, my dreams were crushed (momentarily)
@deep saffron what’s the espresso machine on?
i see my name but was not keeping up with the convo
Normally I'm like "work around the plaza" but rn I'm like PLEASE LEMME MOVE THE DAMN PLAZA
Omg everyone’s layout is soo nice and mine looks like I’m playing Minecraft 😂😂
Should I have the houses 2 or 3 blocks apart (horizontal)?
@scenic blaze hi lovely I was wondering if it was you who had ables above nook
just give every islander a backyard
moving the plaza would be so clutch, i just want it to line up with the damn airport 😞
@tardy bridge a barrel! Although I’m tempted to change that
Also @winter phoenix that looks AMAZING hot damn
i have nook on layer 2 and ables on layer 3 but they're on opposite sides of the plaza
@winter phoenix bro same 😫
ty ty
Oh pfft maybe my brain is just making things up 😂😂
@deep saffron dude i saw someone that had it perfectly lined up and now i’m so jealous
Trust me @winter phoenix you dont want it like mine
oh my god
i wanted ables above nooks when i first did my shopping center but i didn't plan enough room and it fizzled out and now i don't want them that close together lol
Why does my island look so small compared to all of y’all pics 😁
@deep saffron Hmm I like the barrel from this angle. I’ll have to try that out because I was looking for something to put it on but most tables are too low for my liking. Thanks again for posting you have given me some ideas!
all depends on depth of view
Haha fair enough, I feel like my shopping center is my weakest part rn so I am redoing it, I literally placed the buildings purely for convenience at the beginning
@lunar imp i have a theory for this, do you have ‘long’ pathways from one area to another by any chance?
@winter phoenix i cant even do an entrance 🤣
So what have we discovered? That the inclines need to be at least one space from the shops?
they do
Yes!
I missed a bit. Internet went down
@lunar imp I think we have the same 😭
And one space from plaza
i have learned that through lots of wasted time and bells
It’s so hard to do anything with
hahaha
thats way to close
Oh my that's a little tight, yeah
the game has so many arbitrary limits
cries in max inclines
like WHY can’t i do this, is the Switch literally incapable of handling an incline next to the plaza
@winter phoenix love your library idea!! hope you don't mind me taking it as inspiration
My whole island is a mess !
@hasty lantern i’d be flattered if you did :)
Have no idea how to do layouts guys 😂 im just here feeling like a 5 year old kid compared to your islands
My theory is the plaza is too big to fit like on the beach or in another place and they didn't want to deal with it and went "just no move plaza!"
I chose my island for the heart pond not thinking about terraforming in the future
probably
maybe it would mess with villager pathing?
my island is very dull lookin
@deep saffron same😂
haha
Bro it’s not even worth it though
@winter phoenix Man that is gorgeous, great work!
Like I didn’t even think about making my OWN heart pond later 😓
Can you guys show off your amazing areas around Townhall so I can get some inspiration? Pleeeeaase :3
@deep saffron can u show ur layout? 😂 make me feel sad too lol 😆
i took some pics yesterday of a few of the developed parts i have, check it out
@lunar heart ty ty
Anyone have a good design layout for my island
I did some flower art near town hall
@lunar imp this is it so far, I’m mainly done terraforming but I’m still trying to fill it
i'm plotting out my next Big Project and i wish i wasn't wfh rn 😭
I bet it’s more a player testing thing. If you could start by placing your plaza x% of players wouldn’t do it and therefore be stuck in a limbo at the start of the game.
But doesn’t explain why you can’t move it later.
Paid DLC.. ‘New locations’ expansion
@deep saffron well now i feel like a mess 🤣 ur island is the exact same as mine , but looks so different just cause your terraforming is nice .💞
Oh I spent so many hours on it lol, and I’m still second guessing myself every ten minutes
mood
@scenic blaze same, I wish I wasn't about to schedule an interview gauntlet lol
This is gonna be the entrance to my outside museum, do I do one waterfall like the one on the right or two like the one on the left
kinda unhappy with my island and thinking of redoing it, maybe some one got the same layout?
Left, or right one with fossils on top @tawdry sage
Visit my 5star island and give me advice please 0FCPD
Trying to build a nice zen garden, is like a river or something running through it but I’m not sure where to put it or if I should move the garden completely, any suggestions?
Should I add a spot on my island that only has the purpose of burning every mole cricket I come across?
I'm trying to make a small urban area for my villagers can I see someone's design
Maybe a bridge and have an onsen on the other side? @woven drift
@bold mirage 100%
don't know if possible, but think a waterfall would look cool
Oooooo I like that thank you!
so im making a single block path brick border, what do you guys think?
I like it!
And aqua here’s some designs for the floor: MA-4090-3970-2330
ill update you guys when im done. ill be making curved corners :^)
There's an open space here idk what to do with it any suggestions?
Add a nice little pond with some flowers!
It’s from instagram
do qr code paths show up on the map
@bold mirage okay
Not unless you put a default path under it
ok ty
I think I’m done
Any ideas on what I can put on the red cross?
@frail saffron I think there’s also a custom path option you can buy as a regular path for nook miles too
@bold mirage ty!
@woven drift, a park, orchard, maybe a pond?
can anyone share their neighborhood or housing layouts
I have no natural green grass path in my island.. cuz i didnt want to look for fossils. But now my island looks like mental institution/mars
@lost sorrel off topic, but Canberra is my favorite!
Metoo!!
@bold mirage thank you!!
Is it possible to make large circles of land on the map?
@spice rain
@slow dagger Yeah, if you terraform it
Yea, but idk how to actually make a circle tho lol
Lots of measuring...
If you want a perfect circle, there are only corner curves. Otherwise you’ll just need to look up some circles made of square tiles and copy that
Maybe u should measure your entire island and make a pixel version of that on computer or something and copy the pixel circle to your island
@woven drift do you have the qr code for the zen garden sand path thingy
Idk if I'm terraforming accurately lmao
Thanks! @lost sorrel @bold mirage
@uneven flicker no sorry, I got it off of instagram, I can look for you though
@deft lotus thats super good looking
That fire is where I put the mole crickets.
@rancid veldt I’m pretty sure all initial layouts a random, no matter where you are.
@woven drift it'd be super helpful if you could please 🥺
Btw, I need some ideas for the lighthouse area
@uneven flicker I only have a code: MA-4090-3970-2330
All i know is that townhall is always south
@woven drift telescope
@woven drift Add some bushes!
So, should I replace the walls into bushes?
@woven drift is that the creator code?
If you want
@rancid veldt thats y i reset my island and now im regretting so much after all the work
I just wanted the airport and townhall lined up so bad
But i just threw away my whole theme q.q
you call it zootopia despite it not having much species variety
Can I pay someone to create a layout for my island
What do you guys think about this? I want to go for an overall nature theme and not a metro theme, so I split up the houses into pairs. Do you guys think there should be more water or variation in land height?
Yea... i wanted variety but for some reason only cats moved in lmao
@uneven flicker I think its a design ID
I wanted to make a zoo but i think i need to make a cat shelter
@uneven flicker you need a custom flooring tool and the island designer app which you can get through nookmiles
what fencing do you guys thing would go best around a soccer field? or just no fencing
some wooden or just bushes imo
@paper magnet you're missing a pond which you will need for pond fish!
@scenic blaze oop, thanks! I didn't think about that
@woven drift oh ofc yh, ty!
@lost sorrel how did you get canberra?
canberra can be a starting villager since she's uchi
Maybe vertiacal board fence for soccer field @brave crane ? I think it’ls the most natural cuz its pretty tall fence and other fences might look too artificial? Imo ofc
@tame thunder okay guess i’m restarting my town haha
My first villager @woven drift and i transferred all my villagers to my sister’s deserted island and transferred bac to my new island x.x
@lost sorrel thank you!
thanks guys, i’m gonna try a few different ones out
@woven drift I'm pretty sure you can still get sisterly villagers without having to resrtart your island!!
Anyone want to help me design my island
@paper magnet I got the game today so it’s okay 😉 but thank you!
I'm really bad at terraforming and I'm willing to pay in bells for someone to make a layout for me
@woven drift Oh alright 😂 I was afraid maybe you've played for a while and were about to delete everything!
@woven drift what are you expecting? an urbanized island, a more natural one?...
This was my island theme before, but i decided it wasnt unique cuz everyone else was doing zen asian ish
But i regert 😂
just finished my entrance area!! would i look best for my villagers house to go where i circled or would they look better somewhere else??
A more urbanized one I'm willing to pay 700k bells
if i get another food-based villager on my 2nd island i might just make it a huge food court because i already have frita
Oh wow everyone is doing a theme
More if needed
I’m just trying to make my dream community
any zen garden inspiration??
@azure drum
Woops
Wrong pictures hahaha
@woven drift My island's basically a "mix" of some european areas if it helps: the main city (south) is like an industrial English city with lots of bricks stuff (Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool...) while the marshland west of it is based on Spanish coastal swamps... idk
We have a bank with that logo
Btw, is that map creating thing accurate in map size? Does anyone know?
@azure drum second try
Ooo ahah thank you
However, I got some empty areas (circled)
Thank you for the advice I'm gonna try using that island designer website for it I really appreciate it
@lost sorrel i think so, but the template shown is not one of the starting templates
@lost sorrel love the use of simple panels. I thought you were able to hang something on them at first until I realized the cedar leaves were poking through lmao
Ah... so i measured nook’s cranny was 7 square long, so in that map emulator, it would also be 7 square pixels?
it's 7x4
Me too @fierce dune idk y we cannot
@lost sorrel yes i believe so
Ooo thats great....
I am using it to make the terraforming process less intimidating
Sometimes I think I messed up my island with terraforming...
@deft stump This is what I've done - a residential area on the left side. Maybe it'll spark some ideas for you!
@dawn cave thank you!!
I really wish best friends can help u terraform :’D ahaha
@vocal fossil why?
how does this little beach patio look?
Is anyone who doesn’t time travel feel very discouraged about their island? 😭😭😭
@wicked drift nice!
All the time ^^
I’m in the process of moving building around but what would you guys recommend I do with the rivers. Should I leave it like that?
Can anyone send pics of what their entrance looks like, and what in front of town hall looks like? I need inspiration
Idk, it feels too much artificial. I like the contrast between the urban area (in fact, I named the "city" of my island New Manchester lmao) and the countryside and natural area, with only one residential borough northeast, but It'd be better If there was a beach terraforming...
@wicked drift what is the towel item? pattern?
@woven drift hmm i get that... Well we’ll see where my island goes
@wicked drift what is the towel item? pattern?
@dawn cave its a beach towel you can buy
I blocked all the beach waters and deleted all rivers so all my villagers only have 1 place to fish >:)
:o! hmm!
Got cherries
