@tired perch Lulu has an amazing fish market.
She might share screenshots if you ask nicely 🙂 @patent sky
Just found 2 fun new decorations
does anyone have any tips when beginning to landscape an island?
@neat gyro where can i get, i havent had redd come to my island yet 😦
Oof you only get them from redd
@hexed pelican flatten the entire island and move all house to the beach
does anyone have any tips when beginning to landscape an island?
@hexed pelican Don't delete your rivers. Cliffs, go to town. but getting rivers to look natural again is a royal pain in the butt!
yooo
Best way to start is with a blank canvas
ahh thank you!
try to have things planned before you start hehe
I redid my whole river and it was a pain making it look natural
@versed wadi i would start with adding wterfalls
Best way to start is with a blank canvas
@neat gyro I disagreee, a blank canvas can be very intimidating!
Had to redo lots of things
i started off with a blank canvas only bc i needed to
i already tried messing around with the water thing and yeah it is really hard to make them look natural again
https://twitter.com/lili_damacy will be posting a ton of layout pics here!
It can be but it truly allows the imagination to run free without the limits of the natural island
i feel like having a blank canvas should only be done when absolutely necessary in my opinion
Thankfully my river turned out really natural
zen garden plus a few other flower gardens #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/mj1VUQGs2K
working on a small section at a time is probably a better way to start though. And then start major levelling/rebuilding when your more confident with the tools.
And have ideas of what to put there
okay!
what’s a good way to use my sphinx?
I placed my sphinx in ankhas yard
o truee
i destroyed my rivers and idk what shape to make it now
@hexed pelican I like using paths on every other tile to grid out acres/plan where buildings go
Any tips for making the waterfalls look more naturey/cool
Wonder if it would be a good idea to put the museum in front of this and a monster statue on the top. Any opinions or tips?
I’m not sure I like how they’re positioned but idek how to fix it
One message removed from a suspended account.
Grand opening of my night club! What you guys think?
you have to pick everything one by one 😢
what path do y’all think would look good under this...? and would be a good transition ?
my town square area - still a big wip https://twitter.com/lili_damacy/status/1255025640903868417
I think a dark dirt would be nice kinda make it seem like it’s wet and worn down
Kay, I think it needs some more greenery
@fringe lark my whole island looks like this, trying to capture the raw feral energy of ACNL
Hey does anyone mind coming to my island and helping me decide where to move my houses and stores? I want to make a theme but its too janky to do anything now lol
Kay, more trees and flowers and country fence would be nice
im JUST below the maximum, she kept yelling at me so i threw away a few trees :(
Anyone know what the max is?👀
like 220 i think
Any ideas of what u can do with the top of my island? Already have orchard and city district
what bench would be best suitable for a city type build?
my town square area - still a big wip https://twitter.com/lili_damacy/status/1255025640903868417
@woven drift ooh love the diagonal bridge down into the square!
@remote pollen "request cleanup" will remove trees
Anybody have pics of decorated rock outcroppings?
Or the one you can get for nook miles, with the little plastic tub seats, that could work well in an urban enviroment.
Prob easiest to just eat ten turnips at a time
@primal ginkgo that seems perfect thanks
Huuuuge wip
OMG MY ISLAND JUST GOT TO 4 STARS HYPE!!!!!
CONGRATS!!
@patent sky your design is amazing
Grats!
Esp the museum gardens
does anyone have a specific trading area they could share? thinking of having a picnic blanket with some pillows, but I lack inspo lol
@ lulubells thats so pretty! i love all the waterfall arrangements
@patent sky ooooh bookshelves outdoors! brb I need to go edit my cafe!
https://twitter.com/i/status/1255030667143864321 dont mind the other weird posts, i accidentally linked my switch to my twitter that was hacked, but here is my WIP residential area, i haven't finished it obviously, but i just got the arcade done and im pretty happy with it, just need to put some more prizes behind the ticket counter
Mini park between houses
can you show some of your entrance guys ?
Anyone have trading posts for crafting for visitors/DIY giveaways?
@fleet lily
What shrubs should I use if I’m gonna put them with black and white roses?
so preeeety
hey i have a really large spare space on my island and idk what to put there?
@fleet lily
wow it look really nice 😮
Hey guys,can i have some advice? Kinda just making stuff up along while terraforming,no plans whatsoever lol so im having trouble whether i should put my house or the museum in the third level cliff? If so, where should the other one go?
@steep orbit put a music area there, with instruments and an area to watch people preform
Hey guys,can i have some advice? Kinda just making stuff up along while terraforming,no plans whatsoever lol so im having trouble whether i should put my house or the museum in the third level cliff? If so, where should the other one go?
@frank orbit maybe a statu ? with some bushes in front
@woven drift oh my you're the person i got my entrance inspo from
no wonder i liked the rest of your stuff so much, my entrance looks like yours with the little lion dogs!!!
@fleet lily
@patent sky beautiful !!
@fleet lily put your house by the secret beach
@fleet lily i mean which should building should i put on the 3rd level? I made up this weird elaborate path leading up to it and the length of the cliff is like 20 holes long
@fleet lily put your house by the secret beach
@wheat tree my house ? 🤔
@fleet lily i mean which should building should i put on the 3rd level? I made up this weird elaborate path leading up to it and the length of the cliff is like 20 holes long
@frank orbit I don"t know, either the museum or a house ? You have to try haha
@fleet lily yeah
@fleet lily yeah
@wheat tree no picture of my town here ^^' wrong person mate
@hollow dew oh thats awesome!! that makes me so happy to hear :) would love to see your entrance sometime!
@fleet lily haha i will try with my house for now thanks 🤣
Alright guys I need an opinion, I’m trying to make this modern spa area, is the flooring a good idea?
Alright guys I need an opinion, I’m trying to make this modern spa area, is the flooring a good idea?
@final talon Yeah!
yeah its a good idea for a spa, nice one
Thanks guys! I tried to make so many QR code’s for the perfect flooring, and I think this was the best! @wheat tree @fleet lily
what the hell with all theese random pictures ???? is it 4chan or animal crossing lol
It's a troll
Alright guys I need an opinion, I’m trying to make this modern spa area, is the flooring a good idea?
@final talon It's a cute pattern, but the high contrast might make it a bit noisy? could you edit the pattern tile to mute down the black. That'll make anything you place on it stand out more
I’m gonna give it a shot! @versed wadi
Can you edit your island corners/beach and stones?
These random pictures have me dying ngl
<@&494448231036747777>
We have a troll
Just gonna keep on with random emojis huh? XD
Can I tour anyone’s island for inspiration
Ooo nice flex @manic lantern
Thank you ❤
I need opinions, do we like the hedges or the lattice fence?
Anyone make an island that looks like a Cat??
Hedges
hedges
I like hedge in front or behind lattice fences 😁
ooo yes!
I need opinions, do we like the hedges or the lattice fence?
@gloomy coral try to mix and match them
Hedges in front of lattice fence looks 👌
True
Built a maze behind my museum to show off fake art and random items
What shrub(s) should I use if U put it/them next to black and white roses?
@prime condor cute! I spy a dino
@prime condor cute! I spy a dino
@woven drift good eye 👁
Stuck here in December 😊
Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Stuck here in December 😊
@manic lantern
That explains the statues'.... size 🤣
Some of my island highlights while other sections are getting demolished and redone hehe..
Very cold out 🤣
Hahaha!
Built a maze behind my museum to show off fake art and random items
@prime condor You could drop recipe diy dupes in the dead ends to make people not feel so bad when they get lost 😆
@prime condor You could drop recipe diy dupes in the dead ends to make people not feel so bad when they get lost 😆
@versed wadi oh I really like that suggestion !!
@prime condor You could drop recipe diy dupes in the dead ends to make people not feel so bad when they get lost 😆
@versed wadi or you can put down egg day recipes to make them feel worse
@prime condor nice work! It can be hard to create a more indoor area outside but I really like your games area 😁 and the beach is super good
Thanks @woven drift ! It was important to me to have fun outdoor spaces since not all visitors go into my home. I’m working on a movie theatre though hopefully that’ll bring em in 😅
How do you get gold roses ?
Thanks @woven drift ! It was important to me to have fun outdoor spaces since not all visitors go into my home. I’m working on a movie theatre though hopefully that’ll bring em in 😅
@prime condor Good idea!
I actively hope no visitors go into my home. It's like a bomb went off in there.
How do you get gold roses ?
@woven drift water a black rose with a golden watering can
Looool
@prime condor ooh that sounds fun, I love your creativity! Saved your beach for inspo 😍
😦 man I don’t even have roses much less a black one
@woven drift felt bad not all villagers got beach front property though
Finally finished my fairy theme! How do you guys like it?
i’m working on blue roses now. black roses come with it
They look dope though
@prime condor it's the same in my town but true to life I guess 🤣
Where do I get roses 🥺😂
I only have windflowers and pansys lol
@topaz hollow I like, using the hyacinth lamps was a great idea, haven't seen many people do that! I might add some trees/flowers to increase the fairy vibes even more
leif when he comes to your island or ask someone here
tyty will take that into account
Thank you benderman
👍🏻
and don’t ask me i’m low on roses i didn’t buy enough when i went to someone’s island lmao
I have a lot of white and yellow roses to give away if anyone wants for free just dm your code and I’ll plant them on your island
I need advise on which shrubs to put next to my black and white roses
Holly?
@woven drift thanks
Np hope you like it @wheat tree
I cant seem to get them idea for my island what did you guys do to find your themes?
I just thought about what I like lol
You don’t necessarily need to have one specific theme, you can have multiple
@woven drift i looked at pictures of towns in England
Lol @crimson bramble I'm thinking of all the really shitty towns like Slough and Peterborough
does anyone know where that like rustic wood plank path pattern on the beach that was popular on reddit a few days ago? I cant find it anywhere
#path-codes prolly has it
@woven drift LOL this is what I had in mind 😂
@crimson bramble 🤣 that makes much more sense
I cant seem to get them idea for my island what did you guys do to find your themes?
@woven drift As @patent sky always says. Make your island the perfect place you'd like to live!
I wish we could customise fencing, a cream stone fence with the railings would look cool in game
I want white lattice fencing!
Yeah that would be great too, and little white picket fences..
I thought there was a picture of white fencing in the trailer?
🤷♀️
Should add fencing with vines 😮 and arches
Yess
I thought you could already customize fences
My Island is based on the forresty bits of Snowdonia national park in Wales.
or The Forest of Dean
Very nice
Though I might make a little Llandudno-esque beach front.
I have a load of villagers whose houses don't fit the forrest aesthetic
I’m basing my island off of Skyrim and Zelda’s korok forest
Yeah it's a pain, peaches asked to move out and I don't really mind but her little log cabin was perfect for my forest area :(
@wheat tree which part of skyrim?
@stable creek Hi! You'd be better off asking for NPCs like Lief over in #694794156697976934 
or also #690093605821480980 ~
@wheat tree which part of skyrim?
@crimson bramble Probably Riften or Whiterun, haven’t decided yet
@brisk junco Thank you so much !
@wheat tree nice, can you share some higlights? I love forrest islands!
Nice I could see both!
@wheat tree nice, can you share some higlights? I love forrest islands!
@versed wadi I haven’t started building it yet, I’m waiting to get more furniture
Cool, keep us posted
hi could someone send me a pic of their house exterior i need some inspo
@undone stirrup
Cool, keep us posted
@versed wadi Okay, here’s my friend code:
@Joe Alma#4849 thanks for your ideas on my wallled garden btw, I condensed it and I like it much more now! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWrSVbJUEAAfe6c?format=jpg&name=large
Can I remove the 2nd human villager from my island if I decided not to want them anymore?
@undone stirrup
Thank you 😊
anyone got all the building dimensions?
@woven drift cool just need them for storage haha
@solid umbra it's pinned to this chat :)
thx :3
@urban tree no I think it looks nice!
i think it looks good emchu
Thanks!
I might personally skip the red flowers cos you already got pink and white which match the trees
But that's pretty small
Thanks for the advice
Made this little outdoor coffee shop
Might switch back to normal date and see how it looks
Highly subjective tho, I think it looks really cool and a bit mysterious 😊
what do i put on the empty space?
anyone have tips for what i can do with my shops? right now theyre in a little marketplace esque area to the left of my plaza but idk im getting bored of it and i feel like im not utilizing enough space on my island :p
does anyone have a dedicated trading/crafting/recipe drop area they'd be willing to share? I need inspo 🥺
i've already planned on having a market on the red platform
Can anyone share examples of islands with 2 southern facing rivers? I’m having trouble with what I should do with my rivers :/ any examples would help!
a spirited away themed market lmao
Thank you!
Hey evryone
there was someone with a cool southern facing river design, it was called twin rivers or something but I can't find the file :((
Yes me
Please help! I don’t know what to do with the entrance. Town square is on the right of this area and I already have a nice flower courtyard in front of it.
@steep socket here's my recipe bit https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWrWNNmUcAEdOhJ?format=jpg&name=small
any specific theme your island have? @safe mist
@sinful violet no, just going for more a more garden island. I was thinking of putting some fixture in the center (where the pond is now) but I don’t know which would be good
Hello. Does anyone know after you achieve 5* and drop back to 4* can you still get lily of the valley. Also does bushes count as tree? It says I have too many trees
what about a fountain and some waterfall?
I tried a waterfall and I didn’t like it 😦 and the courtyard right next to it has a fountain already :/
i dont know how much bells you have but, whawt about some sculpture / garden thingy
and some light
Hmm will consider that maybe I can buy some sculpture from Redd and display it
Thanks!
Can anyone please let me check out their island?
Yes me
anymore museum w/ waterfall inspiration?
Need ideas for this space ...
A cofe
ooo yeah
Lmao Dino dogging 🤣🤣🤣
Stop 🤣
you could also make a little national park with waterfalls
or a cafe/restaurant area!
@tranquil sky I have seen that!!such a cool idea!! I was contemplating putting it closer to the museum.
@coral blade yesss
A cafe would be cool but probs closer tovres services and the town hub.
I have a zen garden that used to be in this space... Maybe I could move my house here and do a proper home decor?
yess
Pardon the crappy photos, and the overall layout lol its still a wip. But should I keep the shell arch where its at or with the instruments?
@coral blade Have you thought about making a construction area as a temporary space until a new building (dream suite or otherwise) is added?
Hmm instruments I think would look darling
oo yeah the construction thing sounds great!
Hmm that's a cool idea Rome definately with considering... Do you have an example of how it might look I still need to to fit island asthetic after all xD
Fence it in with whatever kind of fences you typically use, then rebar (those big construction bars that are DIY), buckets, etc?
Pave it with dirt or stone if you wanna make it look like the foundation is being built
Hmm interesting!
I’m planning to do the same with my island since I don’t want them to add a new building and then I have no space for it
I personally have a lot of empty land with flowers cause i have no idea what to expect for future updates.. and I can mass breed hybrid flowers in the meantime haha
Cool
I have so many hybrids now xD
I’m pretty much done with my hybrid breeding, got blue roses and more gold roses than I know what to do with, and at least a few of every hybrid. Not to mention my new aesthetic doesn’t use a whole ton of flowers like my old one so I’m probably gonna have to get rid of a lot
I'm still missing blue roses
Not to mention I think gold roses look tacky outside of one or two here and there
I only got one blue rose so its more hybrid breeding for me
Gold roses are the tackiest
they looked better in past games tbh
I have 3 and I put them near where red docks as part of the mini horror scene that I'm working on
nice
The gold roses at least go well with the black and purple roses
haha yeah they don't look good all clumped up together
I’m really conflicted... I like a lot of villagers but every time I find one on an island I really want they have the same personality as one or two. I know it shouldn’t matter that much, but recipes and stuff seem to be tied to personalities :/
Nope xD I'm probably gonna move them again
Just found Ketchup on an island and her house looks good from the wiki, but she's peppy and I already have Carmin
Not wrong Rome im certainly partial to certain types...
I kinda hate that males are all jocks or gross and females are all sweet, sour, or normal basically
wish the personality types weren’t tied to gender
What sould i do please help.
I picked up kitty today
Actualy there are a few good males
Zell, Eugene, Elvis I adore .. I have them all.. Erik seems nice when I found him
I actually just got rid of Erik, didn’t like him as much as I thought I would haha
is there any website where i can plan out my island square by square or smth?
Please
Not really Pablo. You can plan out your layout but it doesn’t account for furniture or aesthetic
Aesthetic is very important
Better to focus on one area at a time and have a general plan in the back of your head
That's how I do it
What should i do please
things don’t always go according to plan and sometimes you might wanna make changes based on how it looks from the ground. Layouts cant help
oh man
Is that not a screenshot from the direct?
i seriously regret doing this spiral and moving the shop now lol
time to tear it back down
I tore down my entire 5* island and started over 8)
whys that dude even using that super low res pic
Ouch!
You can answer me
about 1/4 done so far, progress is super slow but I love it so far
Should i Put The Museum a layer Up?
I was planing on trashing and flattening everything but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Yes it would look glorious
Should i Put The Museum a layer Up?
@woven drift
So l would Put stairs in this entrance and Putting the Museum on top
And maybe some waterfalls
Waterfalls are always nice
^
My new island is SO much work though. It’s almost entirely on the second and third layer, literally the entrance and a boardwalk on the southwest beach are the only parts on layer 1
Nice, roomy enterance ideas anyone?
Pretty funny lol
That’s kinda how my old town looked but with beige custom paths. Very flowery haha
Ooh that's really niice!
might keep on the left side of the spiral
I kinda found there’s really 2 types of islands people do, japanese and natural, so I wanted to do something different
cuz this looks pretty lit
Any ideas?
can you get shrubs that don’t have flowers lol
Hey question do you guys prefer your villagers all together or spread out
yeah get the shrubs that are out of season
together but not to the point their houses are blocking each other
Or just get hedges
i like em spread out
Hmim a little torn I like them together but think it might be nice to spread them out xD
it feels more lively having their own personal space than having them in a small cluster
Any ideas?
@woven drift
Please
QR code to the circle of rocks?
Spread out is nice, but in groups if that makes sense
But really it’s whatever you wanna do with your island
Grouped but spacious I think is what we’re meaning to say
What to do on the place in Front of the shops
Stalls. Make a market or swap n catalog area
There are some really great market stall patturns here and other places if you can't design your own
No probs!
Giant robot
Hmm .. stone henge?
i wanna remove the flowers if possible
I don’t know how to make a cute little market/stall thing
outside my tailor and cranny
they’re in separate spots tho
you buy the diy with nook miles
@steep socket watch a few vids and youll get so much inspiration from them! 😁
🌈Experimentation🌈
I might move some houses to my big empty space. Like a housing complex with a little feature in the middle?
I always watch vids for inspiration but then think “I could do better” >.>
i tent to look at 5star island reviews/tours because they all have a market spot
ok then rome
got this whole area of flowers next to my museum (on both sides) and j wanna put something else here- any ideas?
Kayla just search patturns there are plenty here and other places
Make a mini exhibit
i watc vids for inspiration but then realize how trash my island is lol and then i dont like doing what i see in the vids bcuz i feel like im copiying
maybe some statues or fossils?
I strait up copied something I saw on another island xD
I wante d to do something like it but untill I saw the execution wasn't sure how to do it.
I dunno all 5 star islands in the vids are really modern/civilised whereas mine is more forestry
lol
you can use someone else's idea as a base and move on from there 🙂
add your own twist
My islands a mess so i plan on making it a proper city
Same, but I don’t know where to even start
Idk if this is worthy but here’s part of my town that I’m currently working on!
thats amazing!! also I love the eviction sign 😂
Who’s house is that Andy?
@steep socket come to mine it's got a super forestry vibe and is 5star
I mean I'm doing a little work on it rn but yeah if you wanna visit xD
That’s the house of Celia the eagle!
It does indeed ahah
My store fronts so far...
I have a fortune cookie cart
Wow!
I need one of those mini library letterbox recipes lol
And here is a little bit of terraforming I did next to my Museum
Looks amazing @woven drift
There’s a waterfall but you can’t see it hehe
I did a lot of trading for the tiny library diy 😅 it was worth it
@woven drift thats so nice! trying to capture a vibe like that with my shopping areas as well
Fancy
@steep socket I’ve gone with Forrest vibes
Ooh, that looks really cute! The log cabing goes nicely with it
Yeah I need more villagers that live in cabins.
I don't have any cabin villagers they are all houses xD
ooh i like the moon placement
oly shit the log cabin is so nice who is it
Thanks!!
Erik
feels like canadian lol, I like it
Man I wish I had got him now xD
Was delighted by this cute little frog pond at the entrance of an island I visited today! Look at dem cheek tulips! 🌷
I passed Erik up cuse I have 2 deer already xD
i like the moon and the stone arches in the enterance! @coral blade
wow! thats adorable
Thnkaya!
I need theese torches
I wanna move the houses so they can have their own paths, but idk where 😭😭 I also wanna move the shops so they can be a bit closer together, I'm keeping my house where it is though. a whole MESS
Erik's interior is weird though, I mean I guess he's a reindeer but…
Might make a Venice style village hmmm
punch him then
Do not punch erik
why not lmao
@versed wadi haha what does the interior look like?
In the bottom right I think I'll take out the extra layermove my house down..
It looks unorganized af
My Chinese theme Island just got 5 stars today. XD
Hahah my town has a natural flow too it but its mid Reno's so there are a few things all over the place.
Most of my paths are custom so you can't see them on the map which is super annoying
What do you think of my Able Sisters entrance? Appropriate right?!
i’ve only been playing for 3 days and i’m really bad at decorating but here’s the entrance to my village and townhall
Hahahaha Amazing!
Lol, BUY SOME ClOTHES!
Very nice!
does anyone have some ideas and pics for decorating the houses
Eer my house is trash... I focused on outside xD
i mean the outside 😄
Ohh well I'm moving it all arround shortly but I can send a pic
@coral blade oh my that island is gorgeous, do you mind if i could have a tour if youre up for it sometime? im kinda doing a natural island as well but im kinda hitting a brick wall since i cant really make water and cliffs stand out
@versed wadi aww i agree!!
Another view of my Able Sisters entrance. Yes, buy some clothes indeed.
@north saddle. You can come by now if you like
oh is it open?
Yeh with friend code id need to switch to dodo
Bear in mind I'm mid Reno's so some things are a bit messy
Decor for around orchard? Particularly to the left of the path
aye aye
Does someone want to help me designing my island giving tips etc
@coral blade Love that house exterior, super dreamy!
I should probably change the doorplate lol
@woven drift i have a heart doorplate if you’d like c:
@old aurora I'm good thanks though 🙂
Thanks @versed wadi
Ready for the day
@woven drift snap! (almost)
@versed wadi almost twins haha
Okay I'm gonna open gates for tours of my mid reno mess if anyone wants in
I also have a birdhouse and lily of the valley nearby lol
Can I get some advice for my island? I want to move my flower garden so people stop trampling them. I am not happy with my villagers current placement and Im not sure what to do.
I like my entrance area so far, it's one of like... 3 little areas that are somewhat finished on my island lol
Cute!
that’s nice!!
Thank you!! 
Love it!
Can you share a pic from the airport?
I keep tearing my entry apart and building it back up again
Sure thing! It's pretty close to the airport so there's not much space to do stuff right there, but here's how it looks from the airport!!
Really cool, I’m having problems to find out what to do with my entrance
for now it looks like this
Ohhh that looks really pretty though!!
Entry of mi island
internal screaming im so dumb lmao
Ive said this sm times but the fact that i feel like others islands r bigger than mine will always frustrate me
Ive said this sm times but the fact that i feel like others islands r bigger than mine will always frustrate me
@woven drift I thought that too, be careful with the quantity of terraforming bcause it takes 1/2 useless lines
My island feels too big at this point since i have sooo much free space and don't know how to use it :/
My island feels too big at this point since i have sooo much free space and don't know how to use it :/
@slim dove ikr
ohh
And my map still doesn't even look that empty, but when you wander around it is D:
So the more terraforming the more i feel like its smaller?
@coral blade Can I visit your island?? Looking for inspo from a 5-star island, happy to tip!
mine
Ohh i like it!
I look at all these people talking about their plaza being close to their airport. Then I look at the 6 squares between the two that I have and silently weep
I used to be so mad that my rs was so close to the beach
But then i eventually found out how to hide it
I just made mine part of the entrance tbh
Its one of the main reasons i always wanted to reset lmao
the main thing that triggers me is that it is offset by one tile to the side
I'm glad mines not that close, i just wish it was centered
so it doesn't line up
@fierce current sent ya a dm
another reason your island can feel smaller than others is because you're already familiar with your own. You know how to navigate it. But when you see other ppl's island, theres an unfamiliarity and you have to discover all these new things and that takes time.
I got it to look ok, not much I can do tbh
Mine is too close, I hate it
That's exactly the feelinnng
Yess thats the feeling
But it still makes me so mad LOL
im finna invite someone to my island and ask them does it feel tiny
any tips on what to do with this big corner? i kinda want to remove the flowers but im not sure
I’d probably make some stands and garden wagon there
haha why i avoid watching island tours sometimes
why
ooooh ok that i watch them but like only a few seconds to get inspiration and imediatly quit lol, otherwise it makes me deppressed
I kinda like to watch to get some ideas, I made this entrance to molly’s house and I really liked it
just do what i do
otherwise I get pretty depressed lol
a lot of them look really similar too so It gets boring sometimes haha
zen garden meme is the thing
haha yep
same here lmao
I'm guilty of having tiny asian style areas. Can't help it when all the furniture I get are from those sets😅
man all i want is a pizza box decor
I already made a spa, coffee place, museum expo and Im looking for cool new ideas
nice one mom
I'm guilty of having tiny asian style areas. Can't help it when all the furniture I get are from those sets😅
@woven drift idk if asian style u mean bamboo bcause I plant bamboo everywhere
bamboo and coconut trees >> hardwood and pine
heyy
nah I have a lot of imperial/ tea/kimono related items
Finally finished my layout 😭😭
I have a zen area xD but that's cause I got so many of those items xD
Can I get some feedback on my entrance?
Pretty symmetrical 😁
This was the only layout I was satisfied with lol 😂
Love the mushrooms
omg the mushrooms are perfect
Thanks!
So I found out my original plan won't wotk as is.. Any suggestions on how to tweak it and keep to the dpirit of things?
You gotta move one of those one space over 😦 A sad time.
You could then put flowers in the space.
Or shrubs.
or bushes!
I know :( I wish they let us do this...
how did you guys do the front jards? 🙂
Shrubs may work.. anything else?
a bench?
Or a shelf of some sorts that looks like part of the shop
I've seen lots of people put the iron shelf or other similar stuff in those types of spaces
Is there anything like that that's only 1 square wide?
Could also stick a lamp or a park clock there?
Ooo.. that may work thanks
Still a smidge miffed... the game needs to let me have my tight fits.
mushrooms would add so much to my town, but I don't want to time travel that far
sameee
I'm terrified of losing villagers
you won't lose them!
you could probably pay off someone to tt for you if you really wanted to
they can't leave unless you talk to them when they have the bubble over their head, but even then you can make them stay
Good to know!
hi guys, im thinking about moving one of my villagers, but im not sure where would be the best for her! is it possible to move a house directly onto a beach? if not, i want her to be beside a beach, where do you guys think would be best for it on my map?
any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I'm hoping I get mushrooms soon being a South island we are about to hit the last month of Autumn
I’m still new. Does anyone know which buildings are moveable? And which are not?
All except res services
Okay thank you!
Airports, River Mouths and Resident Services can't be moved
Does any of you have used happy island designer?
everything else is fair game
@raven kindle i have used it
And how it is?
Long time ago
Is very useful?
I found it a bit meh
It works great, but the starting map is not one of the options
So you need to recreate your own map and then design
But you can do a screenshot of your island and then uploaded
In the game?
If so, no, you can use it to create your ideas, but you need to make everything in game
Someone told me that you can upload a screenshot from the Switch
It doesn’t work well
@raven kindle nope sorry
It’s like an overlay and objects only shows up on the first map
Yesterday, someone told me that he did it like that
Uploading a screenshot from the Switch to the computer
I tried it today and it was a hassle
It puts the screenshot on top of the first map they give you
Oh i havent done that yet
And if u try to edit the ss it only shows up on the first map
u can change the transparency
Yikes
Not really. It’s useful to redraw the original map with like 40% transparency
Do you know of any other webside to design your island?
Do you know of any other webside to design your island?
@raven kindle I’m trying to find some but no luck
I'm really tempted to restart my whole island cause I hate my whole layout and everything. I don't know how to make anything look better
SAME
wait u cant move res services???
Nope
nope
nooope
Lol
@humble mountain I recommend you restart, I restarted a 125 hour save file and have no regrets.
To me it makes sense why though
I did it for the same reason as you, hatd my previous layout
How do I have more than one save file?
No no no lol, I deleted the one
Ohhh
I'm really tempted I just don't want to lose allllll my money and I just got molly ;-;
Same I just got filbert like 
@humble mountain I just stashed all of my items at a friend's island while I made a new
But yea, Molly will get voided lol
I might see if I can stash stuff over at a friend's
👌
Show your current island, like what do you dislike about it?
Just curious
I rerolled for this, this is a pic from when I just restarted lol I'm MUCH more far now
That heart at the top
❤️
@humble mountain wats wrong with it?
Wait lol don't tell me the airport to res services is one block off
😂
If that's the case, burn it down! Burn it down now!
nooooo, its just the cliffs and such are a pain how they are and even with hours of terraforming it still looks like shiy
Ah, okay
the water ways look like shit and nothing looks nice
I have double south
i'm really annoyed by the river's west exit 😭😭😭 have you guys got any creative idea? i don't know what to do with my island apart from the residential area
It’s trash(double south outlet)
Just a fyi tho, it took me 4 hours to reroll an island with a dead straight airport to res services path so just be aware lol
@sinful turtle opinions 😌
I’ve seen people say double south outlet is the hardest to terraform
Which do yall thinks look nicer here, the iron fences or hedge fences?
Like there’s no space unless u block one off
hedges
Hedges
How do i place an incline at redds beach
Hedges for sure
hedges
Can I visit someone’s island to get I idea on what to do for mine
@sinful turtle doesn't matter what people say tho right? Just go with what you believe lol don't let their opinions ruin your view of something
And to buy some stuff
Hedges it is, lol thanks yall
Would rly rly appreciate it
I have double south and I hate it. I got one river now😂
Fair
And wait u need to make incline for reds?????
Finally finished the movie theaters
Omg that’s soo cute
Ooooooo ❤️ ❤️
I love that?
That’s awesome ngl ❤︎
Hey guys can you show me what you put for reds beach
How should I decorate outside my flower area? I’m lost already
@ionic wharf why do you dislike west exit? i think for me west vs east is more like this: do you wanna view your map going left to right, or right to left? idk if it's because my eyes gravitate towards the sides first or what but yeah
Does anyone have onsen/hot spring inspo?
Made an entrance for my island
Hey guys can you show me what you put for reds beach
@manic lantern I put a date night area
Finished a little garden
I love that!
Like a swinging bench a fireplace a plant and stuff
ooh are those the white screen things behind the faucet?
I just finished decorating my staring house
@woven drift yes - correct 🙂
My house looks better than my island
idk how that works
@sinful turtle same 🤣
@sinful turtle could you post a pic
My everything looks shiny
@swift stag You’re in the southern hemisphere?
@woven drift Yes 🙂
@sinful turtle forgot to ask an important thing, are you going for symmetry?
@swift stag Nice! I haven’t seen much fall themed stuff yet
The rug is rando and I took the candy machine out
Or autumn*
you don't want to sleep
Idk I speak international english
@sinful turtle are you going for symmetry with ur island or nah
Like waterways?
Overall
Would you guys like to see what I added for my Redd's beach. It's a little different haha
That's why you likely dislike the double south lol @sinful turtle that makes sense!
welp I'm packing up and imma re start
My house over island any day 🤣
Double south I've seen is mostly gorgeous when people are chasing symmetry @sinful turtle
I have way too much bamboo themed stuff
I’m gonna have to make my island bamboo themed
@swift stag love your style!
help me design my island @slow dagger
@swift stag best house I've seen
I don’t really have a style or theme decided yet
@woven drift thank you so much 🙂
:3
@manic lantern YAYYY
What themes are you guys using?
I might finish the bathroom today
this one is pretty cool too
@woven drift resort themed
I’m going for forestry
Tbh, I like intricate maps 🤔 but it is pleasing @timid kernel
I think i’m going to make my island world themed, don’t really know how though...
seriously
it's probably safer to not do something like the one i posted for future content.. like if there is a new shop then that person may have to move stuff xD lol
but yeah it's pretty neat
@woven drift maybe have an area for like Egypt (pyramids and sand) then have an area for Japan (such and such) and so on
Like a different area for diff parts of the world
@slow dagger that’s a really good idea!
Do american with football
And burgers hehe
And hot dog
@woven drift that way you can get all of your ideas on one island :)
I love that!
Four corners of the world
My favourite spot
Would be cuuuuute
I added Giovanni protecting Redd's beach
Can u ss ur map layout for me 👀 @swift stag
Maybe like
North America Europe Asia
South america Africa Oceania
Like layed out on the map
Tbh tho, this is the best map I've seen
Sorry I want to know what it this?
@woven drift shrubs fencing I think
@woven drift those are hedges
That's what they are haha
c dégeulasse
@sinful turtle It’s atrocious hahahahaha, I’ve started from scratch. Long way to go!
Double south 🥰
I wanted to do the same river style just one big square river connected 😂
It’s definitely more clean that way 🤣
All the villagers houses will be placed on top right corner
Right now they can stay on the beach 🤣
@swift stag exactly haha double south can be beautiful
I don’t get “double south”? Someone explain please
Double rivers on south side of map
This is not mine but here's another double south layout, it's a friend's design
Simple but pretty cool
OHHHHH I understand - thank you
People have the cafe already???
Nah, but it's pretty much confirmed
Oh shoot I need to terraform now😂😂😂
|| Brewster will be coming in the future || spoiler
kind of a crappy picture but the opening to my island i spent way too much time trying to figure out how to make symmetrical (:
@sinful turtle not sure tbh
They should at least allow you to add plants on 4th level 😭😭
Hehe
Tryna lemme visit that island tho cloudy? 👀
I finished my Able Sisters store area. What do you think?
@slow dagger bahahahah I’m embarrassed! Only good in 1/10 area
Soooooo :3
hi, I’m having a panic attack and breaking down in tears because my island is so bare and I am so idea less so if someone could dm me and stop by my island to help me plan some stuff out that would be wonderful.
Welcome to the club!
hi
Having a breakdown is part of the initiation hehe we've all had them for the same issue
@zenith harness take your time! It’s okay. It takes time
Nothing great came without hardship! @zenith harness you'll get there! Take your time and remember it's not a race nor competition
I love the saying: Rome wasn’t built in a day. (Perfection takes time)
I destroyed my whole neighborhood because it wouldn’t fit all my houses and I got scared that I’m never gonna make my island good
And many of us have restarted our entire island
No worries Russian buddy, I had a 5 star island and now I've broke down more than half of it and dunno what the fuck I wanted to do so I basically got an empty island once again after almost 400 hours if that makes you feels somehow better
Y’all so sweet I love acnh so much
And we love you 😋
I wasted over 400k in 2 days

I love this community haha
Sometimes you need to restart your whole island 3948929293 times till you like it 🤣
Tbh, this game has the most wholesome community I've ever seen in my life
everyone trying to design their maps
@zenith harness dont' sweat it. I know how you feel about getting anxious about your island. These are really testing times we're living in and it's nice to feel that you're in control of something. I found that stopping watching 5 star tours and trying to emulate things really helped. Now I pick a tiny part of my island to improve one bit at a time.
"I GOT AN IDEA!!!" does it "..oh.. it doesn't work"
I built a whole 100k incline and took it down in a matter of 20 minutes
Thank u @modern sierra
I think corona is stressing me out
Corona is messing with my sense of time
You're welcome. Just remember that this is a game. If you aren't having fun right now then stop and go do something else. The island will wait and no matter how real the villagers feel and how guilty they make you feel when you don't talk to them for a bit - they are not real
My villagers annoy me anyway
6 am I haven't slept and I'm choosing to redo everything
I need some inspiration for my entrance. I’ve had this for a few day’s and I’m ready to rebuild it 😬
Except Octavian he’s great
well fuck them then, I've locked half of mine away with fences and ignore them. Raymond is love Raymond is life
This got dark real quick wahahaha
Look how shitty it is, because my anxiety gets to me, this is how I spend my 110 hours of gameplay.
I restarted my game like 11 times until i had 2 villagers i liked

I’m just surprised I haven’t deleted my game data and restarted at this point
oh man im ripping my hair out, i cant manage to make cool rivers
@swift stag entrances are tricky, I can't stop tweaking mine!
@sinful turtle here's another double south island by crossinglife
I’m proud of this though.
@versed wadi The thought of it can always be better challenges me continuously 🤣🤣
@zenith harness LOVE 😍
We should probably all try to practice gratitude
@swift stag I love u
I think it would give us rest
@zenith harness 🙊🙊🙊

@woven drift I will sign everyone up
@zenith harness hAHAHAHAHA ISLAND LAYOUTS TO DATING OK
@winged notch QUEEN
Today's tweaks, changed the pathing (again) and added a tree. Happy with this (for now). Tune in tomorrow when I add a rock or something.
She just wants you for your layouts 😏 jkjkkk

@hoona your right
Oop
@slow dagger HAHAHAHAHAHA
I like y'all having natural islands, very cool ~ I haven't seen anyone with a resort themed island yet tho which is odd as we're literally on as island tho 😂
OCD
Girl my island looks like a dumpster
https://giphy.com/gifs/donald-trump-candidate-1MI7djBqXTWrm @zenith harness
I really need help
I need the smaller sign but I don’t know the name for it
wooden angled sign?
What do yall think of my revamped campsite? Any tips on how to improve it?
Y’all wanna start a petition to move resident services
@modern sierra Love the gif man! I'm gonna keep it in storage for my gf when she's not feeling well
@zenith harness omg yes
You need like campfire, lantern, chairs etc
I’m gonna cry
I actually wouldn't wanna start that petition tbh . . .
hi gonna cry
Restrictions breed creativity
I’m having a panic attack again omg
Which is good - what I said
how many trees/fruit trees are needed, does anyone knows? i'm stuck at 2* and isabelle keeps asking me to plant more fruits/saplings but i don't want to overcrowd my island with trees
OMG CHERI JUST LEFT
@candid finch
I think that the more options and perfection there is, the less grateful we get
@rare lion an easy way for 3 star island is to place like 100 flowers and dump a bunch of furniture in one spot
We want everything to be bigger, better, prettier
truly a campsite in the woods
It's ugly yes, but works @rare lion
@slow dagger so trees don't matter? i actually got terraforming but went back to 2* after i started working on my island and have been stuck since
@woven drift we need progress
@north saddle I love that. What pattern are the logs? I only have log benches
@rare lion I actually don't remember much about trees sorry :/
and the recliner is dope
@swift stag also true
any tips on what to do with this entrance, I hate it
@slow dagger alrighty, thanks anyway!
@zenith harness I find adding trees closer to the bridge is more appealing and more dimension added
@swift stag thank you 🙂 I think I’m gonna remove the bridge.
Yeah, variation's in height work well
what should i put up on that second peg? it’s the entry staircase for my museum fyi
i’m thinking either the pagoda, the moon, or a statue
💀💀
@swift otter the moon would be too big. But my personal favorite is a David statue facing north for Maximum Booty
heck yeah. the museum of booty
Discus thrower is also good
oo ill definitely think abt that & show y’all when i’m done
My roommate is putting 4 david statues facing north at her town entrance lmao
💀💀
time to make a new island and name it “a** land” and devote it to ONLY david facing north
I thought the pagoda was 1x1, i remember it being smaller than i thought it was
Had anyone made a material rock garden?
yeah i think pagoda is 1x1
Yeah it's small, but Idrk if it's 1x1 lol
why are the statues selling for so much on nookazon 😭😭
how rare is redd tho, i’ve only seen him a few times rip
JESUS BOOTY ISLAND IS NO MORE
He was on my island yesterday
i only have 154 but i will have more after judy the little turd l e a v e s
WITH THE POWER OF TIME TRAVEL WE SHALL HUNT REDD TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
but i got my baby raymond and he is so sweet ,
I got two real Davids so far, one for the museum and one for the island
you have both raymond AND judy? youre hella balling rn
i am, bro i got judy and raymond within an hour of each other 😭😭 & i got raymond from a pal for free
The boy
best island layout: the whole thing is water except for an island in the middle. On it: a single painting. Ophelia
i went into my campsite expecting like rocket or sumn but no. it was judy
@wraith pawn
HHFKSHSIS
Say no more
best island layout: the whole thing is water except for an island in the middle. On it: a single painting. Ophelia
@wraith pawn nah just do david facing north 👁👄👁
Wow amazing
enola LMAO
It’s called social distancing
Posts that hit different spring 2020
Need help on what to add, why does everything feel so flat to me 🤣🤣
Add some tables?
add some rocks ? 👁👄👁
some flowers maybe?
Okie thank you 🙂
hey
When in doubt add more flowers
^
does anyone wanna see a funny picture o took when i accidentally gave raymond a SECOND fax machine-
I was gonna say lack of color may be the issue but I think @bold mirage is on to something!
@swift otter this literally just happened to me
theo the judy raymond thing or?
What's the page to design the layout?
Happy island designer @tame kettle
@slow dagger thanks!
I can finally start working on the fencing in my orchard today because my trees are fully grown
that’s really pretty !
ThePhantom....of the opera? 😱
it irks me that the campsite isn’t in line w the museum and the shops ,,
I really need help on what to do with my island entrance my brain is empty
25?
top right
top right corner
im also interested!
and @maiden lodge when in doubt, flowers.
oh its not meant to be a 25 lol, Its just for some random fossils that I didn't need
and made a pathway
Oh lol now i see the 25

I made waterfalls for my entrance
hedge maze oh god-
lol
