I've seen some really interesting stuff done with them
im pretty basic with mine lol
well im about to hop off and take a break I wish everyone the best of luck with there islands
where abouts shall i place the garden benches, do you think?
and may the AC gods be with you
Uhhh where they align with the hearts?
put them where you're standing
im really uncreative so anyone have any ideas what i should put next to my basketball court area?
me before i started waterscaping a lake: maybe i'll finally get in touch with the part of my brain that can use the water tool
me during waterscaping a lake: lol u thought
ty sen and lulu!!
I'm not sure what to place on the right side of my museum plaza. Any thoughts? I'm a bit stumped as to where to go next
@ember pewter wheres the basketball xD
i miss serena every day of my life
i cant find a basketball 😭
@ember pewter I can buy you a basketball just DM me in 2 hours if you still need it ill help you out
Thank y'all for the opinions, I went ahead and improved the second option. The second one is the new design
I have a basketball lol
@manic lantern ok! thankss
Bruh redesigning my island would be so much easier if we could store full-flowers in storage
Here my entrance. Any improvements?
@clever turtle the bench is a subtle detail but makes all the difference
@clever turtle I love the bench placement and adjusted fencing! It came out great!!
@cosmic isle add flowers around the bamboo trees
@manic lantern ikr the bench is just too perfect
Redoing my orchard since i have terraforming now.. if anyone has any cool ideas.. for an orchard DM me. i need some inspiration
I want my island to be themed like Victorian era london, anybody have any suggestions on how and what furniture and walls and techniques to use to make my island look cool
@scenic blaze <<<<<<<< she could help you with building an orchard xD
Iron wall fence fo sho @cedar spoke
I'm sorry for the big pics my bad didn't mean for them to take up so much space
dont be sorry lol
WHY ARE YOU ABLE TO HAVE POINTLESS STAIRCASES IN THIS GAME
Should I move this house right here? It’s near my entrance.
me want turtle
@manic lantern would it surprise you to know that i don't have an orchard lol
Cobblestone alleys and iron garden furniture
i just scatter the trees around my forested area
lol, i still dont know what to do with my orchard
@scenic blaze i was going to do the same.. but i thought it would be cute to have a designated area.. but i want it to be something u can walk through and add stuff
i think im going to just wing it
Iron and stone fence would work for Victorian
winging it is the best!
alright guys we have a friend who's in need of orchard Inspo everyone share there orchards please
my dude my orchard is deadass right next to my rs
that would be cool if you could get an extended island and maybe buy a speed boat to get there haha
!!!! I already have good ideas for the museum area! Thanks friends! I scrolled up through all the pics above and wow y'all are so talented!
does anyone here have some bamboo shoots they could spare, i need em fo a project
Since london has a lot of tall buildings, what techniques could I use to best replicate it or something
Does anyone have anything like some bike /scooter or car parked along roads? 😄
Beach carnival area!
would the ivory or gray drinking fountain look best in the plaza i sent earlier?
@cedar spoke add levels behind it
Y'all can use this to get inspiration! It's helped me A LOT
what game is this lol
@manic lantern like cliffs along side buildings?
isnt that just hyrule
Link to the past, hell yes
@flint light my man!
Does anyone have anything like some bike /scooter or car parked along roads? 😄 with a cliff directly behind it?
gray or ivory drinking fountains? i have two white benches now, so i feel ivory would match with the terracotta too much?

Believe it or not lol the map I linked is very portable to the game
Old Gameboy game maps are pretty draw with pixel art lol
@slow dagger are you the one that has a maze haha
Nah lmao
some dude turned his island into a maze im trying to visit
Omfg, idea!
reminds me of the movie "Maze runner" LMAO
Why is this a thing
the stairway to heaven
@agile mantle delete it
i will dw
now
it’s beautiful
does anyone have small stone path designs that have the same color palette as regular stone paths?
it’s not complete but i like how this is turning out
good. suffer.
literally dies
F
how long could the videos be if we share them here?
oh wait! which fence should i use, or should i just surround with shrubs?
Both
shrubs
Flowers then shrubs then fences
Use hedges along the outer rim but leave like a 2 space entrance
Layer it up
where do i find a turtle at
Wouldn't surrounding the whole place with shrubs be expensive
layering it will be cute, but i dont know which fence would look cute....
@meager seal river at night
@barren karma what about stone wall fence
what should i do with my sphinx? i was thinking about using it with my museum, but idk
Wouldn't surrounding the whole place with shrubs be expensive
@clever turtle i have 3 mil to blow so im sure its fine-
what time do you guys think your island looks the prettiest lol
sunset, easily. golden hour accentuates my theme!
with all the brick and wood and white.
Yeah golden hour is a god send
probably sunset
Thank you!
It
Is it just me or is it sometimes hard to not be so symmetrical when working on your island lol
It’s so hard lol
yes
thats why ill be terrible if I made a naturey island lol
I got all six rocks in this area
There’s two to the left and one below
And then three inside
Caseface could you help me out later to force spawn my rocks
most of my island is paths already
It was totally by luck unfortunately
lol nice
This area was my flower field
But rocks kept spawning in the patches lol
So I had to improvise
big brain plays
I want to try to get the rest in the garden but I know I’ll fuck it up
I dunno what I should put in the bottom left corner of my plaza, should I just slap the occasional bamboo tree here or is there anything I should be doing
Got any cool outdoor furniture you could get ideas from?
maybe have a path that leads to the beach
I love how fauna is staring at the camera like she knew
slowly but surely-
Ooh I like those bamboo lanterns
a video says more
hey Dave did you just record the video using the switch?
i recorded it using the switch video capture, imported it onto my computer, and compressed it due to restraints
what program did you use to compress
Everyone’s islands are so good
idk i just used a sit
my island is a work in progress xD
does anyone here have bamboo shoots they can spare for me, i can bring you a few hybrid flowers in exchange! i need bamboo for a build
@tawny glacier you should also ask in #flower-plants-trade
post something like this
I got my island arranged how I wanted, and then decided to change it today
Bamboo shoot is the rarest shit ive seen
LF: 1x Stack of Bamboo Shoots l FT: 5x Pink tulip flowers
U cant create more lol
and youll have people hitting you up
ik ik, i was just thinking that someone here might have some to give me rq
oh ok
I have bamboo shoots I can dig up
I just won’t be able to get online for another 15ish minutes
@rain prawn ill give you some of my pink and orange lillies and roses i have lying around
Sounds good! I’ll send you a dodo code in like 15 minutes
aight
does anyone know why my villagers just will NOT interact with instruments or sing-
they'll literally stand 3 tiles away and sing the default song and i am so....
Is the radio on? Because I thought they’d always sing what’s on a radio near them
btw does anyone here know if redd will spawn in my RS area or at the back of the map when he first arrives, because i haven't gotten him yet and im wondering
it is :(
Completely restructuring my island for the 3rd time
That’s my campsite area (repost due to bad insta crop)
@strange imp have some confidence lol
im gonna finish my current island and get 1 more star and ill slowly start reworking it
Kind of inspired by that guy that recreated Hyrule from A Link to the Past
is it just me but if you could like craft stuff anywhere it would be the biggest life saver ever
@tawny glacier u can look at the minimap and see redd’s symbol at the beach or if isabelle says redd is here
I should have probably waited to get 5 stars before changing it but I’ve already started moving buildings lol
Anyone know how to make the tiki hut
I'm gonna start to remove everything from my island so I can terraform it, but it's gonna take a while. I finally have a plan I like
Just place crafting post all around ur island lol
Island reconstructing 2nd time, work in progress 🤣 this moon river took me forever
Okay so feedback appreciated (look at tiny map in corner too). Wanting to do like a farming hick town with a “freeway” running through it where I can set up a gas station, market etc along the way with farms off the freeway. Thoughts?
The tree crafting table is pretty natural
how often does redd usually come for you guys?
i know its random
but how often do you guys get him?
Twice so far
He sold all fake paintings the second time, idk if thats a scripted thing
I’m taking up the “spooky ghost lake face” torch from @patent sky apparently and I didn’t even mean to 😦
So u learn that he sells fake stuff
not finished but yeah
@scenic blaze looks amazing!!
hello i'm having trouble deciding where i want the residential area to be ; v ;
i'm thinking of either of the red squares i marked.. my biggest problem is that i don't want them to be SO clumped together? i want to give them each some individual space for cute exterior decorations instead of where they're so compact that the first thing they see when walking outside is the back of another house...
https://gyazo.com/d3e06facc93e6216a7a5475c20764480?token=eb4d51d9113f5df4dd5f62337915ac0b
it needs some adjustments bc i want bridge access but i'm almost happy with it?? which is weird, usually the despair phase lasts longer for me
bout to completely redo my island
im currently planning to redo alot of my island rn. anyone wanna hop in a call and brainstorm with me? i need ideas
same
bro same
same
@scenic blaze screens please
do they even have voice chat here
no sadly
if not lets make a gc HAHA
nope
YES im down
yessss
Campsite area+Shrubs!
Add me to said Gc
ooooo cute
@versed wadi it's pretty empty rn hold on a sec
gc ?
group chat
for island brainstorm call hahaha
ohhh
@woven drift I think you could use both as residential areas imo I’m about to split mine up into mini neighborhoods
@timid stream im in
Msg me 😛
Looking for advice for my little island - it’s very bland
My ghost lake is eating my house
what are your guys opinions on this? been trying different stuff for the past hour
bland ???? where
THAT'S SO CUTE WTF @random crystal
@versed wadi
@random crystal bland? Looks stunning
@rain prawn i was thinking of that too, but really want one giant neighborhood... but it might be impossible until i get terraforming for more space.. 
@versed wadi whoa you really did reconnect the rivers!
I like everything around the island! Just not the stuff on it
That’s fair! I moved mine all in one space at first. In that case I would used the left space next to the plaza. Gives you more room
oki thank you !
FAX
@scenic blaze I did... then I built a cliff over them again tonight for Nooks Cranny to live on.
you're a glutton for punishment lol
Should I get rid of this it doesn’t really match my road and it’s kind of in the way
its cute doe
Yes waterfalls overused 
Im mad
I’d put a shell fountain there instead
well you probably havent played much then
@scenic blaze what’s the plan for decorating the lake?
Yeah probably
That’s very similar to the layout I started with, I haven’t changed much
@versed wadi i'm making it up as i go along but stonehenge will be involved somehow
Does anyone NOT have a Zen garden/area on their island? I'm considering getting rid of mine but considering all the items we get for it, it feels almost like a sin just considering it.
**I notice I used "considering" way too much
I’m gonna put something in the middle but since the road was uneven behind the fountain, what should i put behind it? I wanna change themes from city to something else but I’m not sure what
A trading center sounds cool
Unless it clashes with the overall theme of your island, I would keep it because they can add to an empty space and just simply look nice
flower garden/field (not breeding) — do you guys have any inspiration for these? I’m hoping to make an area that has every color and flower!
@sharp stump classic rainbow garden
day 3 of terraforming! finally got C2 and C3 filled in and my museum moved
Thanks guys
Hold up, is it possible to make "pixel" art with flowers?
Cause that could lead to some ideas
you could, yeah!
everyone say goodnight dobie
DOBIEE🥺
I've never seen any examples, so I don't know how well it works
Planting a few weeds just for aesthetics hasn't killed the lillies yet...
lovely use of coco's house
Thats super cute
Oof my i would use it but i dont wanna risk my star
it takes a ton to lower ur rating
Flowers won’t show up on the map so the pixel art would have to be small in order to really see it all
Unless you did it over the fly over?
Not sure. I only planted them here and held on to my lotv overnight just to make sure
it takes allotttt to make ur rating go down
Anybody have a island with streets I can visit? I’m so lost
Yeah I think it's safe. I don't have lots of Zen villagers just her
bro WHAT, half my island is empty haha😂😂
anyone have some incredible museum entrances they can share so i can get inspired. this 3 square thing frustrates me to no end
will do 
@hollow dew my island is covered in them but still at 5 star.
Started working on my museum liking how it turned out so far :-))
Anyone else love setting up dumb construction sites that are basically permanent??
WHAT SHOULD I PUT IN THE CIRCLED PART PLEASE DM ME WITH THE ANSWER
the coprolite
@dry anchor you good homie, you wanna talk about it?. those black roses are a telling sign
lol
I’m depressed
A museum entrance I used to own
I sold my soul to this game so I might as well commit
I could rly use some tips and suggestions- ik i don't got anything except trees basically but i still happy with how its comin together uwu
@meager zinc @hollow dew weeds do not tamper with rating WHATSOEVER, theyre purely decoration or free cash
the coprolite
@hollow dew Diana is obsessed with the corprolite and looks at it with a magnifying glass every day 😂
pls halp
they do have an effect on your rating
I need help bc I don’t know where to put things at 🥺 I put the houses and shops at random places for now but I’m ready to move em
if you have too many your rating will tank
too many weeds will cause rating to go down..
shell say the ground is too cluttered
well i have a ton and im still 5 star 🤷
My island so far! I’ve been working like crazy on these parts 💀😅
WHAT SHOULD I PUT IN THE CIRCLED PART PLEASE DM ME WITH THE ANSWER
@idle spade hedge maze
Yes sir
Which part should should i make into a garden? The upper left is already a fruit farm and i thought abt putting it there, but the area is super tight
omg-
@steady helm Very cute stuff I like
ima just keep my stuff on nookazon this too crazy
@timber linden THANKS
could you send me the code for the stall design too @steady helm
Yes ofc
@steady helm id love that ramen code pls ❤️
Which one looks better?
I got you! @woven drift
hero 😭
B
B
Yeah b looks more naturap
Does anyone have a shopping district I can come visit for inspiration
B
B
Super sculpted waterfalls never look natural
they still cool doe
But I like A as far as the curve goes there
B looks cool!
A
I need another idea for something to put on my island my mind is at a total blank ;(
I have parks
Pool areas
Beach areas
Cafes
Thank you, I have a right now Bc I wanted more room to ad stuff in the area since I built the campsite in a small room
am i the only one with no switch or the game and desperate to play it
@steady helm can I get the ramen code too pls!!
Skyline is starting to come together.
@spare crater market place! Or laundry mat lol
@grizzled bloom I have a market place but a laundry mat is such a good idea !!
Eventually I’m gonna put dirt under all of the fruit trees (I’ve just started terraforming be kind) what do y’all think
i think it looks pretty good!
@frozen scarab dover dover street street market market
I need some natural river ideas if anyone can help
Are you a fan of this path? Honest opinions. It takes up 8 design slots and I feel constrained with all my slots full.
@tawny glacier yea it’s the only way with the pattern
guys RIP 1 stack of stone, im crafting a zen style stone
Another example of it on my island. Opinions on this path?
Hey all! I'm having a lot of trouble finding people with similar layouts as mine for inspiration... Does anyone have cool islands they've seen around, with both rivers leading south, they could share with me? :) It's gotten to a point where I'm even considering resetting because I feel like these rivers take a lot of space on both sides...
@verbal obsidian probably one of the most well together paths/nature areas I’ve seen in here
My layout so far, moving the museum up to that build spot and making a garden behind it the back is pretty much a forest with some hidden things
@verbal obsidian really well done path that fits well with the grass and leaves of the environment, i say it's a W
Another opinion needed. This is my “National Park/Campsite” entrance area. Opinions?
the pathing looks so good
what path is that, dark dirt?
Is that a crafted sign?
i hate having double south rivers :/ theres no room on the sides 
Sign is a furniture piece I shot from balloon.
@meager zinc pocket camp exclusive item
Oh neat
you couldn't have gotten it from a sign?
i got it for like 2 nmt tho
Oh wait... yeah I got it from pocket camp. Lol
idk if this is intentional but stone
@strong scaffold i have the same issue, i like how my rivers separate the map but it is pretty cramped and limiting
but yeah uhhh what path is that 👁️
@woven drift I love your path
Same @strong scaffold i feel stuck... :(
idk if this is intentional but stone
@hollow dew fixed!!
aye
@solemn spruce thanks, its actually based on a pink path someone else made but i wanted to change it per season, so i recreated it and altered the colors
idk if this is intentional but stone
@hollow dew I need to make a stone like that tho
DM me if you guys want the codes.
What do you think of my pool, bar and arcade area?
@mild lance i really want to restart but i have to many good villagers and item that i dont want to loose 🥺
Ooo a seasonal path, nice
Is villager houses much more appealing if they located in the same area?
@misty pier I would put a radio by the beach chairs so you can hear music at the entrance
Some other spots on my island 🙂
@pallid lynx yesss i want to put some houses on the right side and i cant because theres no room to decorate around :((
Anyone has designs of houses with a ramp on the side? I just shifted my house today and want to see how I can position the ramp and incorporate designs to it.
looking for outdoor inspo for my island, I have a square area ready to be turned into some kind of useful space. I currently have a gym, a diner, a chinese restaurant a market and a pool.
Any ideas?
@limpid maple oh good idea! Gonna also put some coconuts on the table between the stairs once I get the diy haha
@strong scaffold maybe make one of the river mouths flow into a lake?? i’ve been thinking of doing that
@inner vortex mine does but it's WAY to the side. here's an old pic
I started stocking my things at a friend's to restart... But just the thought of redoing the whole game up to my point really depresses me. 😦 I want to just accept these rivers for what they are but I'm having so much trouble lol @strong scaffold
@pallid lynx oo ill try it if anything ill try to make it into a creek? 
My botanical garden 🙂
@misty pier also what did you use for the bar?
@misty pier ugh I wish my garden looked like that lol
@limpid maple it was the lecture hall desk I think
mine is tragic rn but I'm trying to breed flowers and it is NOT going well
Ty
@north schooner thank you 💖
@strong scaffold that could work!! maybe even a structure w waterfalls could work as well
@scenic blaze thanks! Would you have shifted it nearer to the house if you are to do it again?
@mild lance i was thinking about doing that ! but i felt the progress part ive spent to much time just to start over 
@solemn spruce the pink path is the og, but i had to recreate it via new leaf qr codes for summer, fall ,and winter
i think they look pretty 1 to 1 tho
I’m so bad at flower breeding I just water all of my flowers and hope I get something cool😂 I’m a mech engineering major... I don’t do genetics
😃😁
Anybody have any idea for rivers?
Last but not least my forest/lookout/fishing spots. The trees and flowers are still growing in hehe
@inner vortex i'm satisfied with the positioning, it's between my house and a bridge and gives me room for decor in front
@full zephyr I’m curious to what your island looks like
🥰
@pallid lynx yesss ill try them out now 
Next I need to work on my house area. Any backyard ideas?
What would be the best key words to find other ones like this?
Love this fishing spot
@strong scaffold dm me pics or @ me in this chat when ur done !!
That’s so cute!
@woven drift Ahh those are really good, love that they look neon-ish
My little lookout
What should I put in the top right section it’s so empty
Any ideas for what to do with this narrow strip between my neighborhood and river?
Hey, I have a question. So for my island, I plan on having these 2 paths connecting into 1 and going upward into a path which leads to my house. Only problem is I dunno how I should connect them, any tips or ideas?
The red line is there to help show what I want to do
does anyone have the airport close to the town plaza?
I need help on where to start 😖
Really wish we could move the town hall
@rocky lotus I do what’s up?
@woven drift a rec area...like a basketball court or soccer court, and weights
@rose yeah unfortunately:(
I havent yet... I've been searching too
maybe u can move it in a later update?
does anyone have any ideas for a star wars type of island theme?
Yeah I never re-rolled for the perfect island.
me neither
Now it's too late
do you like what you have?
i did once but only cause i didnt want pears lol
@crisp cloud deathstar
The piedrita
the piedrita
@pearl palm you should put a shrine for the rangers there
the rockito (in spanish)
I'm trying too. I'm having a hard time being inspired. All I have is this done and it's in the middle left side of my island.
@barren swift 💩
thats pretty!!!
Add mossy rocks and statues
omg!!!
That’s very natural! Like it doesn’t look forced
thats such a good idea!!
I’ll send a picture later of what I’m doing with the 3 marble human statues
<@&494448231036747777> gross meme
Spent most of today working on this deck and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I got tons of inspiration from this place!
Yeah I just bought a sculpture I plan on using outside fake or not
i also want to do a type of monster island type of theme because i have at least of each monster statue
That's amazing...
i love thattt!!
I'll send some pics of bone island soon. Still working on it but I completed my museum on my main island so I created another one on a switch lite that's all outdoor fossils and flowers. It's only 1/4 done.
@lunar heart that's a really nice backyard rest zone you have. Do you mind sharing how the front of your house looks like?
applause
I need kitchen ideas anyone willing to help
I think next im gonna work on the "camp site" which will be north of the Zen Tub, and probably on a t2 cliff
how annoying is it when you forget to pay off ur bridge or incline n then have to wait another dayyy
@shrewd totem put some bamboo DIY in there. Lantern, noodle slide, stone rock etc.
@grae the worst
My whole island is like full. I have 5 star island too. Anyone want to visit? I saw a lot of people interested and complimenting my island earlier. DM me.
Here’s the campsite I just finished the other day☺️
@chrome bone maybe look into #happy-home-designs
ahh so cute u guys!!
@zealous pendant just saw that. thanks
i love the name @woven drift
@inner vortex Sure! The front isn’t much but I like how small it is
Not mine but I want this .__.
in the process of redoing a couple areas, any suggestions?
JINX FALLS. 5 ⭐️ ISLAND!
It looks cosy tho thanks for sharing! I'm trying to get some inspo on smol or bigger yards depending on how Im gonna put my ramp
Does this dissatisfy anyone?
@sacred siren that’s soo prettyyy
I need some help naming a section of my island. So I have certain "Zones" where you can interact or see funny things on my island. I need help coming up with a funny "punny" name for a music zone. Anyone got any ideas?
thx u sm @fringe lynx !! I'm trying to get all the recipes, i'll buy some lanterns too
@inner vortex Yeah I just moved my house a couple days ago to be right by the cliff side near the beach. Definitely a great place to move to if you’re thinking about a change of location.
@lucid bloom use imperial and zen furniture in the music zone and name it Song Kong
I even teraformed in the top north part of the map my island’s name.
I’m trying to decorate my island, anyone have statues? Please dm me (:
Aye again, I need more honest opinions! c: I was intending on making the area below for my campsite but I’m stuck on whether or not I should do that or make it like a central sitting area like the other pic... (Which is not mine!) I’ll take all advice to heart! 
plaza + house entrance
i guess its a shopping district too
If ur looking for an idea for ur island u could always use one of the statues from red and put it outside surrounded by flowers or a seating area
Like those statues irl ya know
Does anyone know what those large brown walls/ dividers are called that are in the background? Would love to know how to get one
Does anyone know what those large brown walls/ dividers are called that are in the background? Would love to know how to get one
@viscid marsh maybe the back of a rock climbing wall
def back of a rock climbing wall
Never thought about using the backs of those things lol
@ebon bolt I say go for the campsite area
@ebon bolt both are good options, pick whichever one you like based on the location on your map, you can always build a similar area later
the islands that girl tours are soooo nice
Ikr, such an open resort all throughout
Any suggestions ?
I live on a cemetery- also my island is open if anyone wants to visit 😂
Tru tru, thank you for helping me out!
@harsh plinth @scenic blaze
I like what you did and how you made the face match it @zealous pendant
@woven drift oh okay, I never thought of that. Thanks!
yeah its a pretty big brain move on their part
@harsh plinth thanks 🙂
BACON when the other player appeared i got shook
Thoughts? I still need meme turtle and more flick models (gonna swap out)
I dont know what to do next.. 😭any suggestions?
Wow that looks awesome! @patent sky
@crystal wren it's really good. But it's too neat for me lol. I like it a bit messy
Haha I like the messy aspect too
@crystal wren symmetrical 😍😍😍
same personally i like a bit of variety and cliffs ahha
I’m trying to make my island look a bit overgrown
That looks cute @patent sky And the Flick models will add a nice touch
I heard messy
@patent sky That’s really cute! I like it a lot! I’d maybe add a tiny chair near the rug or something similar, perhaps 
now THAT i can get behind
That looks so fun :0
Now I just need a sign for a curiosity shop lol
@patent sky haha yessss !!! Love that mess
Right now, I'm working on section by section, the entrance, houses with fencing and garden depending on their personalities and interests, buildings, paths and etc
Mines a bit neat ish-
That looks rlly good! I love that
Mine is really empty rn
I’m trying to go at a slow pace so the game lasts me longer
1/8 of my island is being taken up by an oversized orchard
I like it @crystal wren Now it's just filling your empty space with stuff you want like gardens/orchards/cafes/other creative options
A couple of us are in a VC working on our islands, DM me if you want in
This is the entrance so far, I'm going to plant flowers, some custom design patterns and etc. Took me a while since my town hall is one block away from the dock and I had to resize the river a bunch of times so the bridge could fit
8-9 of each fruit tree in it
Thank you!
Ive been thinking of making and orchard but I would need some qr paths and I’m already out of space for those sadly
@cinder meadow I love the waterfall entrance but my RS is so damn close to the airport 😭😭. I attempted to make one and it was soo small
that's actually really similar to my entrance lol
I have something similar with flowers where a huge part of my island is a garden that has 9x of all the hybrids arranged in a spaced diamond shape @bold mirage
I might remove it in the distant future if I find a much better idea but for now the garden is fine
My entrance is really uncreative lol
My orchard is also gonna have bell trees but they’re for looks. No shaking.
this is the layout i'm currently working towards! a lot of it is just guesswork, but any feedback or critique would be appreciated!!
I really like it! It looks natural!
@cinder meadow I love the waterfall entrance but my RS is so damn close to the airport 😭😭. I attempted to make one and it was soo small
@zealous pendant me too! When I say it's one block away, it's LITERALLY diagonally one block away, so I really struggled with the entrance as it was either the river was too close to the TH, or it wasn't big enough. I really like the mushroom and flower design though!
@craggy sentinel jesus christ that would take me a YEAR
@bold mirage that's totally what i'm going for!
@craggy sentinel I don’t know if you have it yet, but if you’re going for a natural look, add a nature trail!
@cinder meadow lmao i've been saving up tons of bells just to move buildings and it's a bit of a pain 😅
@bold mirage ooo wdym by that?
looking for good 5 star layouts to work towards
i suck at decorating but i tried
that's really pretty @red folio
@craggy sentinel Make a little path surrounded by trees and some flowers, maybe make it go all the way around your island if it fits. I like to add bug models too to make it look more lively
Thank ya! I have one from yesterday that I took in the early morning that I think looks better but it’s missing the new island
The more I look at my garden space on the map the more I feel like I need to replace it with something else or revamp it, but I have to find a worthy idea first (it's the huge rectangle on the right)
I have no idea what to do with this area 😫 i just put in 2 heart ponds in but that all i got so far
So I have this area that I want to get rid of, and another area of the same size thats empty. I currently have a diner, a market a gym a pool and a park... what can I do with these spaces ? my mind is DEAD
@grizzled idol nice!! super cool kinda rustic look!
@craggy sentinel oooh, it's taking me 1.3m bella as I have to move houses to the beach, terraform what I wanna do, and move them where I want them to go, I have EXACTLY 1.3m so I can't mess up lol
Also @hoary elm What kind of look are you going for? A natural island?
@craggy sentinel here’s a (somewhat close) photo of mine at the back of my island
@fallen matrix maybe add a couple fishing spots w benches and rods!
@bold mirage super cool, i'll definitely try that out!!
@harsh plinth Possibly a picnic area, or fountain in the middle?
@fallen matrix maybe add a couple fishing spots w benches and rods!
@craggy sentinel i like that idea!
@fallen matrix thx, i'm doing the same thing around my ponds rn!
Does anyone else feels like they don’t have enough space for anything
@harsh plinth well i always like how islands looked so i deffinetly would want an island around my home
I was thinking about doing something with a fountain in the middle though another section is already like that, but my island is like ice palace themed so I'm actually steering away from the usual kinds of ideas that you'd see somewhere more natural
Whenever I visit someone else’s island it feels much bigger than mine
I got too much space @sage gorge 
@sage gorge I guarantee mine wouldn’t lol
@craggy sentinel ty!
@sage gorge that's bc you're already so used to your layout, but theirs is completely new for u to explore!
i drew a map out and actually tried to plan my layout
but i have a lot of empty space that i dunno what to do with
Ah it might be that
o there’s a meteor shower at my island so I’m making a photoshoot of my house lol
Man everything looks so pretty with the clear night sky
how do I desice what kind of island i should go for?
Just what kind of aesthetic you want
It took me a while to settle on mine
It's a hard decision but an important one
what is an aesthetic
I asked some ideas yesterday, today I continue moving houses, but what do u think about the layout?
My advice is just start decorating and see what you like
Like a theme
@hoary elm a visual style like urban rustic towny
well I definetly love the ideas of islands
Yeah but an island can have lots of themes
I settled on a white wood forest vibe
no i mean like islands on the islands
With some zen style here and there
OH
and having historical monmuents on little islands as I walk
Lmao my island has a zen part and near the beach it’s all Hawaiian themed
Like an archipelago?
yeah
Quick question, I’m assuming you have to move buildings to put them on cliffs correct?
like not really a theem but like a bunch of ideas that work to gether towards a good picture
But oh boy it takes a lot of space
@sage gorge i still love the idea
Someone do this PLEASE
I really need help with the outdoor House design
lol
@hoary elm you should go for it it makes things look really nice!
Thanks
I need honest opinions. This is immediately outside of my airport. The resident services is to the right directly across a 4 wide street. I thought this convenience store/service station Nook’s was cute, but it feels like maybe it’s not as cool to others as it is to me. Should I just move my Nook’s to beside my Abel sisters and do something more impressive with my island entrance? I don’t have anywhere else on my island with enough free space to just transplant this, so the gas pumps and stuff would be eliminated not just moved.
I loved the idea of the arcadia like u sent earlier
I think it looks neat like that :0
and all over those little islands would be items like gullivers
@safe field that's so pretty but such a waste of an island lol
Imagine having a cool map layout but only 1/3 of usable space lol
I made the little islands like you said around this part of the map @hoary elm
I think it still looks cool
dedication jesus
Anyone wants an assorted pink flowers for their map, most still in baby form
@sage gorge I love it
@heavy summit lemme borrow that money
@sage gorge can u send a picture of all of ur island?
And the pen
Thats my tips
And mine :)
Yeah sure! It’s still kinda messy
Fine, keep the tips. Send over that mac
I made the part near my house look kinda like a swamp so that’s why it’s filled with so many puddles
I dont know what it is but I love the idea that arcadia had
Started some renos my map looks messier then it really is cause the paths are invisible cause of the custom pathways
LF: Designer to help design an Observatory/Fancy Restaurant

Opinions of my rivers? Suggestions? It feels like it’s missing something.... tried making a crescent moon river :/
I just finished giving someone a tour
like look at how there are homes and each little island works
@hoary elm
Aktrius can I have a toower
@coral blade to avoid that from happening try placing regular paths first and then the customs over it so it shows up on the map!
Sure! But as a heads up it's not the natural islandy look that people usually like
If anyone else wants to join they can
@sage gorge I tried that it dosent look good with the type of path I chose to use xD
May I show the exterior of my house and garden? :0
Nobody? Opinions? Alright....
Can i see someones beach? My beaches are literally empty and i need inspiration
@harsh plinth thats good im not looking for natrual
@coral blade ah if it’s a transparent path it might look weird
@sage gorge it sure is xD
@harsh plinth yea mine is is like 30% natural cause of my garden area 😂😂
@polar iris oo I made my beach my residential area
Anyone? Opinions on what u should do with my rivers ?
@violet needle I love your layout 😍
@violet needle maybe fixing the shape of the crescent a bit...
I really dig the islands with rustic looks
Your rivers look fine aside from the bit of land that's blocking the river on the right side @violet needle
@violet needle maybe fixing the shape of the crescent a bit...
@zealous pendant understandable but how so? Make it bigger? Rounder ?
And the way it goes around a straight turn could be smoothed out a bit
@coral blade oooh yeah it wouldn’t work with that type of path
@violet needle I'm not the best one to help you I went really natural with my setting .. or as natural as possible.. and it's hard to tell what you need from just the map.
@harsh plinth ya I have bamboo growing there that’s why it’s blocked but I’m moving it rn lol
I have an area with stone paths too and it doesn’t show up in the map
Ahh alright
@sage gorge nope but I love the way it looks!
That’s so cool :00
Anyone? Opinions on what u should do with my rivers ?
@violet needle maybe u can do a circle instead of a crescent moon but then elevate the part you want with water so u also have waterfalls? Just an idea haha
@violet needle maybe bigger and rounder. Like round out the edges a bit
Thanks xD my island asthetic is natural /flowers
@coral blade oh same I’m trying to make it look overgrown and kind of like a village
Any thoughts on what kinds of flowers/ decore might look good around here? Ignore Kidd and the kareoke setup haha
How do you guys have such nice areas?!?!
This is probably my best area 💀
Use a pixel moon shape from Google to neaten it up?
Yess the over grown look isso pretty
@coral blade that is very smart. Thank u !
I only really have the town res are abuilt up at all.
Can i see someones beaches?
This is my house’s front yard so far
pretty!
that’s so pretty!!
I'll show mine I just updateit yesterday
im trying to make a market place but i cant figure out what flooring i should do. I'm planning on using zen fences. However i have my outdoor cafe leading to it. In my cafe i have the curved brick pattern. Should i continue the curved brick pattern or??
Any layout ideas??? Really need some
Needs the new incline put inand the fensing xD still wip
anyone have any pictures of the museum centered between two staircases?
Mystic pools are still my fav creation.^^
@cold vine I also have a market area with zen fencing! I have a real pretty white wooden plank path that looks super good with the zen fence, want to see it? I can share the code if you like it :0
@coral blade THAT LOOKS SO GOOD
i’m redesigning my entire island 😔👊
ENTRANCE IDEAS PLEASE!!!
I need help with my layout, any ideas? I want to redesign a lot
@mystic void for small town start in the town square and build out start with roads and shop placement and like alcoves of where your residents will live.v
Anyone wants an assorted pink flowers for their map, most still in baby form
@heavy summit I'd take the pink tulips off your hands
@sage gorge thankyouuu ^^ it's my pride!
thx @ fern
wait
My basketball court design
Anyone know of four or five flowers that look really good next to eachother?
@sinful vale the quality is bad but you get the idea 😳
@sage gorge id love to see a pic 😮
i absolutely do not know how to get the photos on my phone
Any redesign ideas????
@cold vine here
@teal ermine screenshot share to FB copy to phone.
i don’t have fb /: it just be like that but thank you
@sinful vale Very close to my entrance (since it's not lined up unfortunately)
I think you can share to twitter
Woaaaaah
@coral blade if i link a social media does it send an email notice when i do?
How can I center THE MUSEUM AND THE LAST missing incline??? I wanna cry
@harsh plinth soooo prettty!!
@sage gorge oh mines a little different 😮 idk if thats really what i was going for
woahhh
@harsh plinth love it!
@teal erminei don't think so.
@cold vine oo can I see what you are doing?
@sinful vale Very close to my entrance (since it's not lined up unfortunately)
@harsh plinth where did you get those lamp@post
@harsh plinth are you in winter?
They're called tall lanterns! It's a DIY
I need that damn
Yes @woeful hollow My island is ice palace themed so I keep it in winter
It looks stunning
Same honestly xD
@harsh plinth Oh okay! Thanks
I’m heading to Nookazon lol
So gorgeous
I wanna get my hands on one of those diys
Can houses this close together look good? Any inspiration?
Er. Not really no room for personalisation of the homes space.
My houses are pretty cramped but not that close
Is there a 1 square line down the middle of the island? or is it two? cause I cant seem to make the cliffs symetrical even though they are the same on each side, one reaches the grid line the other doesnt
I’m in a situation where Molly is either going to be stray and break my mold, or be that close to her neighbor. Hard decision. 😦
How can I center THE MUSEUM AND THE LAST missing incline??? I wanna cry
@glacial scroll I just placed the stairs in one side and used the other for a bench so it somehow make sense
@ebon vine each box is 16x16, so two
bruh momentum
@harsh plinth Minecraft chunk who now
I guess I will make each sides cliff different
NINTENDO WHERE IS THIS AT HUH!!!!. YOU LYING SNAKES....
@ebon vine you gotta delete your island, it was cursed from the beginning with a name like that
This is what the rest of the neighborhood looks like, it the houses are a lot farther apart.
wtf! no
@glacial scroll I just placed the stairs in one side and used the other for a bench so it somehow make sense
@visual musk Ohh. If you could send a photo of that when you got some free time, I would be glad ^^ thanks
I like homestuck
You can still make it symmetrical @ebon vine
Niice can't go wrong!
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/681277827244621855/704881446589956106/acmuseum2.png guys why cant we do this
And @bold mirage What do you mean LOL
ignore the ugly lines but heres my plan so far. im also getting someone else to help so hopefully it can be edited. i only have about the right side done rip.
how @harsh plinth
I did both sides the same so far but it aint gonna end up symmetrical
@sage gorge sure 🙂
I like Homestuck too but that is my curse 
Ohh, yeah
peep my island flag..
I got this portion in the shape of a zelda dungeon boss key, leading up to a triforce of power per say. Im not feeling the stone floor as a proper "ganon dungeon flooring" anyone got any custom design suggestions?
And Midas, it ends up symmetrical if you start with two spaces apart
Hey I did that thing where you make your name part of the island xD
Has anyone tried putting a house on the beach? That’s the last option I can think of for Molly
You can put one on the beach
Or immediately next to each other I think
Ya know, I don’t really know what to do with my beach.
we like fortnite
But if you put one space between, or an odd number of spaces between
Museum entrance wip
It won't end up working
homestuck moment
@flint light beautiful
Ty ^.^
The thing is I lined it up to where my house door is
my house door is like the “middle” of the island even tho its only 1 square
I was thinking red carpet with gold frills on the sides for inside the boss key
My houses are pretty close to eachother so I have no room for gardens for each villager but at least I like the look lol
Ahh, your house is 5 spaces and the grid is 80x64 so it'll never be able to be centered
Still nice tho
They live in a cramped space right next to the beach
Please visit and water my flowers!!! Free watering cans and prizes
anybody have an archipelgo island layout
My houses are close but yeah still a little room for personalisation
I still have one house that I can’t fit in the neighborhood and it’s stressing me out
I need help with that
I'm also moving them to smaller groups. Since all of em are in this are xD
I have two different neighborhoods though
The biggest problem in this channel is that there's not exist a way to place bridges or inclines centered, you can't use half grid for them. Inclines with 3 width would be also nice. Or more inclines than 8!!!
I put Genji’s house at my bamboo garden and I’m planning on moving Kabuki there too
I hate having them all in one complex. I'm making 3 smaller community area.
4, 3 and 3
But I still have one house left that doesn’t fit anywhere
The thing is I lined it up to where my house door is
@ebon vine you can place one building next to your house, so it's not the center but you can get symmetry as all buildings have an odd length
Or 4 4 2
Most of us just use two if we want things to be centered/symmetrical but it's problematic with the limit @glacial scroll
Not entirely sure yet
its fine tbh
Oof I don’t know what to do with this one house
i am in love with how this turned out?
does anyone have any ideas for what i should put in front of my town hall?
Heyo ACNH Fam ~
Need some advice!
I have an issue of WHERE to place my campsite. lol
Its currently on the bottom right beach but... idk ~
ANY advice appreciated ❤️
Most of us just use two if we want things to be centered/symmetrical but it's problematic with the limit @glacial scroll
@harsh plinth I need 9 inclines to do that and I only have one left...
I put one extra in the orchid xD like a keeper
cuz my plan was for my house to have its own big entrance and then on the cliff below I put 4 houses of my fav 4 villagers
mmmmmmm what else can i put here
RIP.. I pray Nintendo makes inclines and bridges more flexible in the future
@near dove seems a bit unrealistic, the spot where the houses are cant really be done like that with those paths
it will look really wonky in game
The incline limit being 8 feels so odd anyway
@ebon vine hahaha I litteraly just started did that same thing xD
Like why 8
honestly, i would love incline bay
If they made it 12 would it break people's games or something? What's the reason for it not being 20
Tbh I don’t think Nintendo didn’t anticipate this level of creativity and they’ll do a big design update in the future
I have this area and I’m continuing it up wards into a market hence the two doorways in the top left and right. I’m probs gonna use zen fence for the market but idk if I should continue this path or not. In the market there’s gonna be the fortune cookie cart, ice cream stalls, coffee stalls, and more! @sage gorge
I hope so
@near dove maybe amongst the bamboo?
i want access to a second island
Any ideas for Dobie's garden? I just have 0 idea where to start with it 
I’m moving these two but I have the house circled in blue that I don’t know what to do with, any ideas?
Is there any chance somebody can send me a link to that one website that lets you make your island?? I cant find it anywhere ;/;
@near dove seems a bit unrealistic, the spot where the houses are cant really be done like that with those paths
@tawny glacier True ~ lol. I'll probs end up placing it into zigzag patterns or curves o:
Honestly less bridges more inclines please xD
I really don’t know what to do with the house sigh
Finally got this done!! Thanks @sterile wraith and @gentle spindle for helping me get find the patterns needed 🥰
@sage gorge make them smaller communities 10 is too many to fit easily into one.
@mellow nexus it’s in the pinned messages
@near dove maybe amongst the bamboo?
@short oracle That is a perfect spot o: debating if I should sink it down to match where Redd comes in or use an incline for that area if possible?
Anyone giving island tours?
Unless you are a god xD
@mellow nexus it’s in the pinned messages
@short oracle Oh! Haha tysm! I’ve even looked there I guess i’m just kinda blind
@normal walrus That’s so awesome!!!Glad I could help!
@coral blade yeah, that’s why I’m making the second neighborhood but since it’s inside the bamboo garden I want to fill it with the oriental houses, but sadly I don’t have enough homes with that exterior
So I guess I’m moving a random one there, it’s gonna look a bit out of place but it’s the best I can do
in the process of chopping down all trees in order to start making my island pretty 🙂
starting from scratch
@normal walrus TYSM for the inspo, was wondering what to do with my beaches and BOOM found it
@sage gorge feel that pain I just set up this area. I'm moving my 4 fav villagers in. Then I'm reducing the size of the old complex too 3 and a public pool and moving 3 villagers upto the road stretch towards the museum
Np Np!! Glad to help @tawny glacier
My girlfriend is a Taurus and I am a libra, so I made this pond with the relative items to our zodiac signs! I think it turned out pretty well!
thats an awesome idea @small crane
ty!
Should my river be four or five spaces wide
@vagrant sluice respect dude, keep us updated
I guess that the third house I’m moving into the bamboo garden is gonna be this one, still looks out of place but eh the rest of them would look even weirder
Four or three**
The ghost showed up at my Potions Class 🧙♂️
@near dove I’d try keeping it on the same level as redd and place a stone path pattern that forks and leads to both redd and the campsite
lol thats awesome 🙂 @ornate shale
@sage gorgesharrrte
I dont know if I should hve rivers seperating my islands or wateralls
getting free flowers from everyone may have been a mistake lol. lmk interesting garden patterns to use all these for
Sharree
Looking for zen garden inspiration!
Four or three**
@charred jolt I keep the main rivers as 4 with longer bridges, but when I use water for the aesthetics I use 3 because I prefer the shorter bridges there
Mine is still a wip
@eternal star I always suggest cliffs and waterfalls lol.
Thx for the help! @short oracle
No problem
Like right here? Maybe it would be four? Idk
Do any of you guys have village inspo? I wanted to do something like this picture but it didn’t turn out with the amount of space I have any other cute villages would be appreciated
@coral blade I think I’m moving the lone house into this lil secret chilling spot, it would look much better than in the bamboo garden since it fits the house’s aesthetic pretty well
Ah but I guess it’s gonna be sad for this one villager to live all isolated from the rest
https://twitter.com/i/status/1255327298984775685 WIP
@nimble hinge Really love the concept you have going so far ❤️ can't wait to see how you get the routes going from your shops to the villagers o:
Better? Still gotta move the campsite to clear out the moon area but it looks better shaped
Haha I would do that, but they’re a bit to loud @woven drift
@near dove ty!
@sage gorge I think that's a great idea!
Marshal is going to be in quarantine forever and ever on that spot but oh well lmao
Hosting for people to get inspo from ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Island. DM me.
@eternal star Ugh I know! Thats a huge pet peeve of mine. Doesn't matter if the falls are one unit wide or 10, they make the same roaring sound. What themed areas do you already have on your island?
I’m kinda mad cause he’s gonna have a better yard than me
@sage gorge hahah it happens
Oh wait had another idea
WIP
Oooo I think I solved it!
I need ideas for my whole island lol, anyone think they could join and help?
Or is this wrong channel to ask?
You should make a city
So far I only got an outdoor cafe haha, I’m barley starting to decorate my island so it’s still pretty empty @woven drift
any ideas where i could put my houses ? tryna put them all together like a neighborhood of sorts
Paying anyone to make me a well-detailed island flag. Dm me for further inquiries 😄
Any ideas what I should put outside my tailor shop?
@eternal star One of my favorite things to see are outdoor libarys! Not sure if that's something that you'd want right at the entrance though. I'd suggest a little boardwalk maybe 3-5 stalls on each side, all with different themes. ^^
Google pixel art of whatever you want make it easy on yourself. I made my pug flag that way @lusty flume
It's a pug cause of my irl pugs xD
@coral blade I’m not good at art
I litteraly just copied the pug pixel for pixel off an online patturn then coloured it
@ Fern#1399 if I expand my deck thingy at the beach resident area I can fit the house
Hmm a good idea it does look like a beachy house
anyone know if you can cancel moving a building and then move a different one? or will nook say he’s busy canceling the first request? i don’t tt so i gotta be careful with these things lol
I don't think you can. Sorry that sucks feel the pain.
I think I’m doing that, oof but I’m going to have to move one of the houses up there so it doesn’t look weird
@woven drift well I already have a outdoor cafe right next to the entrance haha. I couldn’t really do a grand entrance since my Town Hall is so close to the airport
I'm moving 7 houses to Thier new homes. And the last three to the beach so I can redesign Thier location and then moving them back where they were with minor changes
@eternal star Maybe just a nice garden area then! With potted plants, flowers and stalls that give the illusion of a greenhouse.
@woven drift yeah I might just do that. Thank you for your help
The two structures are shaped as a X with waterfalls going down the middle of each. This was an accident but it turned out well. Thoughts?
I’m gonna have to use up 200k with all of these moves damn
anyone wanna show their outdoor restaurant? i need inspo lol
@cosmic isle i think bigger waterfalls would be pretty cool but thats just personal taste ig?
Maddie and cookie came to see my in progress frontish yard (:
Is anyone doing farms or something similar on their island?
someone have a pic of their orchard?
@sage gorge same er let's see 50k per move that's... 700k all up including the moving back and forth for the last three homes that will need to be moved 2x each .
@flint zinc I can get one for you..
Hey @spare crater how do you get those hedges?
thanks!
@golden nest its a DIY
^^
Ah ok ty
Is it a nook mile diy like the fences?
you get it from tom nook
Oh ok tyvm ❤️
What the best isle lay out
@heavy rune my island theme is natural xD
Thanks so much !!
Here's mine! I love having my hybrids and fruit in one area. ^^
oh, that's a really neat idea!
thanks
What the best isle lay out
It is a neat idea!! I tend to keep 1 type of flower to an area.
Like my very few cosmos in the orchid.
Windflowers in the picnic area.
Roses at residents.
There's no "best" layout, it's all subjective, just choose what looks best for you @woven drift
Was there something you were wanting help with in particular? @woven drift
Hmmm@golden igloobl btw how fo i get the isle custon tool
Keep in mind that you cannot modify beaches or move the town hall or airport
I know
Can someone give my some feed back on my family camp game area
You get it at the end of the story basically
How do i get the end
Very cute love the boardgame in the table!!
You have to have your island level up to 3.
K
Just keep doing what Tom Nook tells you to do
Can someone join up and help me more with my island? I have a basic idea but I need more help
and get KK slider to perform there.
Yu mean stars
@golden igloo it’ll be Isabelle
Right
@coral blade thanks 😊
Hi! I'm trying to make a rock garden (one with all six rocks) and would like some inspiration!
Right?
Same thing, you have to progress with Tom Nook before you get to Isabelle lol.
Idk I’m new
It'll be both at a point. Tom nook will get to apoint that he'll tell you to talk to Isabelle on how to improve the island.
K my file got corup so im creating a new one
what do you mean?
@sudden steppe what exactly do you need help with?
can i visit anyone’s island?
@foggy folio mine laterif you like?
Well I’m remodeling my island and I have a basic idea but I need more ideas from people
ok!
Hmm what theme are you going with ?
@foggy folio shoot me a DM and I'll open up for ya
