Hmm bottom left
K
Any thoughts on this museum design
@coral blade could i come for inspo
Suren @flint zinc
yay
can someone give me some fountain/courtyard inspo?
Where should I put my trees (village is going in bottom left)
Does it?
no
no
Kkkkkkk
What flowers couple well with pink roses?
my disney parks castle themed house! it's at the end of main street when you arrive on the island 🥰
Where should I move my trees to? (They’re in bottom left but I wanna move the houses there)
white roses or hyacinths? @short oracle
@sudden steppe dont start moving stuff around until you get 3 stars and actually need to
@foggy folio did you still wanna visit?
I have 3
keep everything on the beach until you are ready to make a layout
I'd keep some tree's around just so you don't run out of wood tho.
tbh, just move trees as you go
Need some inspo!! The part where I am right now is a little empty. that right part of my island is actually still empty. I can do a flower garden, but i just dont know how it should look like 😭 HALP
any advice i dont have space for an entrance lol should i just not make an entrance
Yea, move them as you need, like Tendo said. That's what I've been doing. Uprooting and planting them in various area's as I ago. Just don't chop them down. Not all of them at least.
@subtle bloom make a path to the left and make an entrance on the left of the town hall
any ideas on what do to with all the space ? 💔
@woven drift wrong page
@bitter inlet Idk. I thinking up putting the statues of David and Venus at my entrance and wanted to surround them with flowers that compliment each other. I figured pink roses would suit Venus but Idk what would suit David

What are some flowers that match?
I want to put some statues up I'm just waiting to find the right ones same as guliver items.
Wowwwweee
@limpid maple thank you!! i will do that ❤️
I was thinking the red roses but I’m hesitant on that
Love that so much!!
@gentle spindle im pretty sure from redd
I think its a gulliever statue
@subtle bloom anytime!:)
But im trying to buy it from someone
@short oracle Look at what I did!
Very nice!
@vivid hill where did u get the statue from
you can get it from Redd @gentle spindle
Statues are generally red items
Yeah, it's a fake tho
@vivid hill how did you get the hedges? I still dont have them 😦
You have to wait for Leif
You gotta talk to tom
Talk to tom
Then talk to Tom
Can you round off the edges of a river when its up against a cliff?
I have a idea I wanna run by you guys, should I put the muesum on a cliff?
anybody with an almost all water village that i can take inspiration from?
working on a cute lil entrance (:
Be careful with the museum! It's asymmetrical @sudden steppe
Want to show you guys this area I have been working on
@gentle spindle That statue is the beautiful statue from Redd and it isn't a fake
@sudden steppe I did and I regret it deeply cause it's right Infront of the hidden beach I have to move it but I haven't had a chance
Or even an idea of where to move it.
A lot of the fake statues still look great though
yeah the fake statues are still fine, they good for display (i have a cow titty one lmao)
I use the valiant statue and the fake one a few times in my island together to keep things symmetrical
Since the fake is just horizontally inverted
Should i redo this stream ?
yeah
its a bit wonky, i dont think it needs to be redone completely, just adjusted
How :PpP
@sinful drift just some small ajustments to tidy it up
The sharp corner in should be smoothed over
@coral blade I’m not putting mine near the edge though I’m just putting it on a cliff
Well that should be fine as long as you got enough room
Zuckers house
any suggestions for a 1x2 item that would look good in that spot below the top waterfall ??? i am stumped
Anyone else have this island? Let me see what you’ve done with it!!!
My island is finally 100% complete if anyone wants to come and check it out and maybe get some ideas or inspiration feel free! Dodo code is: 27QH0
wait i send a video did it not send lol
any suggestions for a 1x2 item that would look good in that spot below the top waterfall ??? i am stumped
@thorny vector
A swinging bench? Although noone would use it itll stilllook cool
ooohhh let me try and see how that looks ty
A dark one!
@sinful drift
i was thinking about that camsite pocket camp thing but its not leading to a camp its leading to the secret beach
@thorny vector Could try the golden seat
i was thinking about that camsite pocket camp thing but its not leading to a camp its leading to the secret beach
@thorny vector
True
Sorry was meant to tag @thorny vector
Why can’t you put trees next to the river?? That shit is so dumb
HAHHAAHAHAHA
You got the whole squad laughing
THIS H O U S E
@charred jolt u can though??
Do you guys have any plans if any extra buildings get added?
Anyone have a train station on their island?
Hi, I am having some trouble designing my neighborhood, I want all my villagers to be together but i also want them to have cute front lawns, any ideas? Thank you (:
Like right next to it you can’t
Oh wait nvm
@steel junco im going slow for that reason
@thorny vector A Gulliver monument. The Pyramid or the Moai statue or Stonehenge
Hi, I am having some trouble designing my neighborhood, I want all my villagers to be together but i also want them to have cute front lawns, any ideas? Thank you (:
@sterile bison
You could conjoin their lawns! I did that! This isnt the best example but you know what i mean
@arctic nacelle i have the moai a little bit up but yea thats a good idea too ill see if theres any thatll fit the dimension
Bruh what
It be like that sometimes
My island looks so plain compared to everyone else’s
It be like that sometimes
@ebon bolt but not all the time
Is the river mouth three or four spaces wide?
ive gone mad with power
It’s four
^
Can anyone gimmie some feedback for my campsight. I want to add more flowers but idk what else
But not all the time
Irrelevant
@tall delta that looks great!
i hope you never change your mind on changing your island layout because flowers are gonna be a pain to move @deep spear
It’s really cute! I like it, maybe add some cedar trees or flowers?
thats where i decided to move all my flowers
Flowers are a pain regardless
PEOPLE R SO GOOD WITH CLIFFS
IKR
don’t do lillies and tulips

they’re hideous change my mind
@unique marlin what other flowers are there lmao
Black tulips are nice
^
ye
Pink tulips r so gaudy
black and purple are aight, but others are meh
Id put them with snooty villagers
What did I get myself into 😳
clown boi 
my villager housing! no furniture yet but i think it turned out pretty cool 😃 heavily inspired by people online
imagine being creative
Natural bench 
Imagine
Are there any black benches
Nah that looks sick tho
Some pog ones
Woah. That looks great
i might snatch your villager layout ngl @fierce mesa 
I think i got pretty lucky with my villagers 😭
aaaa fauna
@unique marlin yes the cliff housing is so nice and convenient!! i can send you one of the videos i was super inspired by! it’s way better than mine haha 😅😅
I've made an abomination
@fierce mesa yes pls love 
woahhh
Anyoneknow. What villagers have Chinese / Japanese home exterior? Besides Pekoe.
@swift stag that is such a cool waterfall design
Vesta pog
Does anyone know the dimensions for the fully upgraded house?
@rain notch
Thank you!
Bruh im really thinking of resetting
honestly
i've thought about it too
town hall and air port killin me right bout now
@woven drift go for it why not?
@wise sandal id love to come visit!
I have too, but it would ruin my perfect streak since the 20th, and do I want to do that?
im just a wussy im scared of starting all over again bruh
Made a little medicine area because I always get stung even when I try to catch the wasps 😅 - found the med sign somewhere on here
And i have 9 of my dreamies um
You gotta get a friend to store your stuff lol
i just need some good ideas to make do with the small space i got between the town hall and airport
does anyone know why i can't build the bridge on here? :<
@charred jolttyvm
Ohhh shitt
@split pendant i have my airport and resident center close together, would you like to see what I did?
@mortal monolith you can’t build across a gap between cliffs
Its on a cliff not a river
You should atleast be able to put the wooden bridge over it smhh
Shoot so there's no way to connect those two? The beach lines w/ the river, so I don't want to close it off
You need to build directly over a river, nice try though
Build directly over a river? :0
yeah. like no gap
River - ground level
If i have cliffs like that i make jumping stones
dlskgjsglksjd all my hard work
You have to be on the same level as the river to build a bridge. You are one level above it there
Greta and cyrano
@sinful drift as in, Cyrano de bergerac?
Thank you guys!!
Anyone know a design that blends with the plaza floor?
i swear to god if AC has a Cyrano refernce
i never thought of putting a bridge on the second level
ill do research
@mortal monolith maybe place a higher river where you want the bridge and let water run of the sides down to the first ground level!! i don’t really know how to explain it tho
@obtuse kite walt
LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP CLEAR MY ISLAND COMPLETELY! DM ME!
Does anyone know any designs for an entrance of a town/village?
Is anyone here knowledgeable on rock-respawning mechanics?? I'm trying to move my rocks to a "mine" I'm making. However, despite covering the entire island with items and have available 3x3 spots, they refuse to appear.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks3fZxIcjQA @stray steppe
Today in Animal Crossing New Horizons I show you how to move rocks to create a rock garden and create dinosaur dig site! If you have any awesome design ideas for your island make sure to share them!
Become a member and get special perks and support the channel! https://goo.g...
I think there are some videos that explain
im so glad i got my rocks to naturally spawn near each other
i created a little lake diner and im kinda proud
I think I can finally call this finished
wait, how many rocks are there in one island? 6 ?
No no, I'm following the guides and have read about all the conditions. The rocks have 3x3 space (as paths count as "free space" along flowers and weeds). Also, the spot is between two grids in the map
6 yeah
i think 6 and both of those look nice
oh ok
Any ideas of what else it could be?
@patent sky soooo pretty
Sorry I couldn’t help but steal this from reddit for us here lol.
Wouldnt it be cool if we had lily pads?.?.
Mine is the other way around LOL
Omg yes I have so much water
And now onto the hunt for meme turtle... I need a sign that says "curios" lol
do y’all have tips for making nice cliffs??
No expert in rock-matters around? 😅
Idk if anyone remembers me from last night but thank u guys for helping me get through my panic attack last night lmao
any ideas of what can go here bois, please give me some fitting furniture ideas.
my island is finally coming togetherrr
I need garden inspiration :<
do y’all have tips for making nice cliffs??
@void laurel make them look natural, not squared off. also just don't think too hard
I need garden inspiration :<
@bitter inlet
Wanna c mine ?
sure
can i visit anyone’s
anyone know of a path, custom or otherwise, that would complement this well? It just doesn’t work as a horizontal sidewalk in the neighborhood t_t
I dont really like it yet tbh,imma wait for the palm trees and put paths inside
Anyone doing tours??
Help....
Idk what’s considered to be properly aligned for both buildings next to each other.
Might want to have more space lol
Be more specific.
That’s properly aligned but you might want to spread them out a bit more to have some running space
Are you asking if Nooks should be moved up one so the doors of the store are aligned?
Yes. Idk how well they line up since they have different dimensions.
I’m not sure how much better that would really look, personally. I prefer the buildings to be aligned like this. Having the gap behind Nook’s would bother me more
I'm looking for someone to give me feedback on my island for a little bit, as I have mostly finished my entrance and plaza, and feel that I am coming up on 5 stars. I really want to improve and criticism will help me do that, dm me if you want.
Also, I agree that the gap would bother me. I wish all of the shops had the same dimensions and general structure so it looked neater.
LF someone to give me ideas for my entrance
Tiny glimpse
does anyone have ideas for this area
Playground
A park!
cam rocks respawn on paths ?
Proud of this little residential area I just finished
rocks wonr respawn on paths
@unreal needleno
thank you
any ideas what can go in here?
how does everyone's residential areas look like? 🙂
If you wanna use a regular dirt path, they can spawn on those, mine did.
i have 3 different neighborhoods each one is flower specfic
so what’s the easiest way to do a rock garden? i watched a youtube video that used mannequins but that just seems super time consuming. would paths be easier or just as time consuming
Anyone have any recommendations
what do you guys think of the double stone area? i’m not sure how i feel about it
@tribal burrow put a bench either where the fence is or in front of it
Anyone else regret their island after practical completion? The second wave of regret is comin and it’s comin hard
@barren swift thanks I’ll give it a try
You can come visit if you want some inspiration! Been working on my island 300+ hours 🥺, this is my layout. Dodo code is 4L83C
I'm really proud of my little entrance! Plan on filling the empty space with more flowers and log stools and stuff like that.
4L83C, I would appreciate if you watered the roses near my house c;
How do you guys plan out what you are going to do, or do you just do it
@woven drift depends on the person I think, every island is constantly evolving!
I honestly only plan out things like bridges and pathways, and then build everything around that.
@woven drift I personally look for inspiration and then plan mine
i’m trying to make my rivers look more natural and i think i’m miserably failing 😳 any tips please???? desperate 😌
Idk if other people already know what to do tho
The left side of my island I'm trying to make an "irrigated" orchard type thing
For example, my entrance used to be super plain with just paths and lattice fencing, and then I changed it into that.
My map has rivers running slightly in on the left and right and then a river connecting the two, one I can terraform I'm filling in the middle river
And I want to use the left one for an orchard farm and right one for a river park
Just got my 5th star, and I’d like someone to tour and give their opinion?
Has anyone created a castle like town?
i’m trying to make my rivers look more natural and i think i’m miserably failing 😳 any tips please???? desperate 😌
@fierce mesa Try to make the rivers less asymmetrical
anyone have a way they love to store their turnips? like a lil turnip garden or something?
These so far are my fav 2 spots on my island
I need help figuring out what I should put in the large empty spot, I'm thinking of a fountain and decorate around it to make it look more natural, I'm gonna put more trees as well
@vivid hill rounded edges
I love trying to make the island my own, I'm just so creatively stupid sometimes lol
Maybe some stone furniture? @finite zinc
I'm just glad you can move buildings and terraform
I wish villagers hung out in more places that just around their houses and the square. I put so much furniture together and they never even use it /:
Quick questions, does anyone have any tips on how to add more trees to places I just can’t seem to find any good spots for them
they use it during the opening screen for whatever reason
they do hang out in more areas, I guess it’s just less common
Daisy on my island is always out and about lol
so what’s the easiest way to do a rock garden? i watched a youtube video that used mannequins but that just seems super time consuming. would paths be easier or just as time consuming
@unreal needle i'm planning to do the rock garden am planning to use the mannequin method. i feel like they're all time consuming but this methods clean up is the easiest.
trying to make a garden/park area
Can I just say I hate rivers and trying to redesign a space I put a ton of flowers in qq
That looks great!
Just curious on what other people’s island themes are! Im kinda going for stars/Italian and Mediterranean theme with like canals everywhere
brick or stone?
hi i'm looking for some inspiration on "neighbourhoods" for houses!
I like brick 🙂
@ me with what you guys have pls
Just curious on what other people’s island themes are! Im kinda going for stars/Italian and Mediterranean theme with like canals everywhere
@weak totem
Trying to do a professor layton theme meets ni no kunis evermore
HMU if you want one 😂
You can’t put dirt under a villager house right? It’ll just get rid of it/turn it back to grass?
Correct
what should i do with the area behind my residential services?
Anyone think of what I can do near my resident services area? This isn’t the layout rn, but my finished plan
Some of my fav places
Anyone want pink assorted flowers on their island
does this river look more natural now? be honest pls
Oooh pink flowers @heavy summit
Want em?
@fierce mesa looks good to me
My “lunar” garden
Sure, don't really have much to trade RN tho
Not really trading them for anything
@short oracle thank you! i’ll keep going!
Can someone post their shell area for inspiration?
Anyone know what I should do with this area? trying to make a resort getaway type of style
anyone got a good island with two south river mouth? trying to figure out what to do with my river.
This is what my island looks like rn, not much on it atm xD but I have some plans for the layout
Plan to get rid of the top river
Thoughts on entry?
I like the moon bananas
Too symmetrical also smol entry
Yeah
@nimble hinge maybe like an outdoor cookout?
cool idea
My town hall is so close to the entry so I can’t really add anything big
Yeah that sounds good
I spend like 260 nmt for those diys so I want them for the entry
My town hall is so close to the entry so I can’t really add anything big
@crisp kestrel I have the same issue! I did this
But... those are time travel diys (mush)
Yeah, I’m assuming there going to go down in price
U got ripped off lol
gosh, seeing how close some resident services are to the airport makes me so happy i had some space to work with
But I found a way for basic or unlimited nmt so it’s ok
gosh, seeing how close some resident services are to the airport makes me so happy i had some space to work with
@dreamy sand Yeah, I had to get creative 😆
Basically*
it looks nice! good job :D
@vivid hill that looks nice
@vivid hill what are those outdoor tapestries called?
I might try and spread out my area
@vivid hill what are those outdoor tapestries called?
@short oracle Those are from the Pocket Camp game
Symmetry with asymmetrical elements to break up the symmetry
Thats alot of stone
Like that looks @heavy summit
Like ALOT , most stone diy uses almost all of ur stone
I have nothin but time :p
^^ the amount of stone arches i want are killing me. so much stone...
Any idea what could go here other than a house?
It can fit 2 houses
A little mini park rest area

I already have a party 😦
@zenith harness maybe a water fall area w chairs
Park***
Add a prison
Oo a waterfall
so i'm trying to go for a cottage vibe on my island and i'm having trouble decorating around the plaza... any of y'all have any cottage/wilderness themed islands that can help 😭
that looks amazing
isn’t this considered a pond? i’m getting river spawns
no
I think ponds are smaller but idk
ponds ARE smaller
oh i thought ponds were just water not connected to a waterfall
trying to make a garden/park area
@bitter inlet This is really nice, I'd recommend to make it bigger tho, I started with an area like that but then added a pool, flower garden, etc etc and ran out of space
If ur gonna get into crossbreeding ur gonna need alot of space
This area alone is my crossbreeding and cloning section of my map lol
what shall i do with the entrance of my casino? 🤔
Statues and floorligjts
How long did you guys wait to start designing your island?
Statues on cliffs
Between 1-2 weeks
i started once i got terraforming
How wide do people make their paths?
how do you get terraforming the quickest?
not too wide
I hate that I need to spend money to move houses because I was forced to place them somewhere temporary
2 or 4 depending on where its leading @static sun
If u dont time travel, just do everything tom nook tells u
but if you do?👀
i just hate the concept of having a "primary account" cuz i let my sister play first and now she is the island representative even tho she barely plays smh
isabell will tell you want you need to do
Just get on her character
@maiden lodge u could've reset when u first started
Move things around then switch back
i know but it gets so anoying after a while
yea but i didnt realie her acc was special until i got the plaza
Guys I’m trying to make a entrance and I have a basic idea I wanna run by someone who’s down?
@sudden steppe shoot
Morning
Helli
@woven drift okay good
I feel like my island isnt as bad but id like to have a fresh start and know what i actually want to do
@barren swift ok so idk how long it should be but I wanna add a fountain and some flowers to the entrance
@woven drift what made you decide that?
wait if we can't build a bridge btwn 2 cliffs, how did someone do this? or is it editted?
it's edited
that tree cant be there
Looks nice
@sudden steppe have you started? photo? gonna need more than that description
I mean it's a good edit but it isnt possible lol
I restarted mine. 😂 it was a pain but I love it much more now because I knew what I was doing and planned ahead more
I thought about resetting but it's just way too much of a grind to get back to where you're at
If we can get a patch in 2.0 where we can connect cliffs with bridges it would be a game changer!
@flat lark hey play me in smash bro haha
I wish we didn’t have to wait and sit for someone to come or leave
@manic lantern down! Send me your code 😁
Yeah we should still be able to move
My girlfriend is wanting people to come visit her island because she would like to give people tours of it
Anyone wanna join?
I’m traveling through seasons to collect all the horoscope recipes to make a star plateau.
Okay. Does anyone know why my 6th stone won’t spawn into place? If I destroy the stone on the left and put an item over that spawn spot and go to the next day a stone won’t spawn at all for me despite having my slot open in the stone yard.
do you guys keep your flower breeding area permanently or until you have each color then clone them?
@barren swift permanently for me
Hey guys What should I do for a open,natural feel for my island?
Can a shooting star happen with this sky?
@feral fox go to #game-help-questions❓
K thx
Np
I really wanted to step up my game for the islands entrance. I wanted visitors to have a grand entrance.
@fresh lodge that's just too epic haha
@manic lantern thank you!
@subtle osprey On your map, are three stones located on one side of the grid and 3 on the other?
@woven drift they are all on the same acre. Pretty sure that doesn’t matter cos I’ve seen people with them all within the same acre.
Just cleared a bunch of space have is terrible at thinking of what to change it with, can anyone help me think?
Should I put a villager house on the left or right?
right
Right
@subtle osprey That's about the only reason your stone wouldn't spawn. ^^'' Try removing the hedges and path and planting weeds instead. If that doesn't work, the acre limitation is the only explanation.
Thanks for the feedback 😊
should i move the bench up?
@indigo vale If you move it one space up, is the bench centered?
@timid stream this guy 🖐🏼
@woven drift i meant up like to the right if that makes sense
@indigo vale I reckon leave it and add the bush fence behind it
@timid stream roughly that's what I do
ok
I designed an island online and now I"m building it by squares haha
@indigo vale Oh! Would that be in front of your resident services? I'd leave it as is.
😄
it's hard to get a good pic of my residential area because it's spread out, but here's a little piece of it
What's your island theme?
Correctional center
Bro i high key hate the island i chose now

any 5 star islands willing to let me tour? i need so much inspiration 🥺
@sudden gazelle u can tour mine !!
Can anyone help me with ideas , I need something for this , it’s right next to my orchard :3
My island is open again for exploration/inspo, I’ll be afk so feel free to explore! 73K6Y everyone is welcome!
anyone have a museum area that incorporates waterfalls?
terraforming is so cancer i need help
Here's a villager home design feel free to use it
@ebon juniper Here's mine! I feel like everyone's museum looks like this but I like it. ^^
This is next to my museum?'the botanical gardens
@woven drift @patent sky thanks guys! looks great
Marina's yard ^^
@dense heart I love how everything's white it looks really nice!
i’m very tempted to literally make the whole beach cafe white plank custom design
but it would be so much work
Itll be worth it tho
dang now im regretting making each villager their own area
just kinda lined them all up in one area
@ebon juniper can you post some pics
ima switch it out tmmr
yeah sure, hold on
i like personalizing each villagers house tho! you can find room for other stuff
And a little park I made. Could use some opinions, I was very limited in space and tried to make the best out of it
Id say get rid of the little pond
@manic lantern i need to finish decorating with flowers and some items
i made this cute sun pond to take up some space and looks great on mini map! 🥰☀️
Am I the only one who isn't a fan of terraform waterfalls?
@ebon juniper once you add the flowers itll look really nice
Id say the symbol is getting close to the bad guys in ww2 lol
@timid stream I think that they look ok if used in the right areas and such
valid. same.
I think they're super over used. I have like... 2, and they're for my town hall
I'm basic with my waterfalls. Not creative enough to make splits or anything like that lol
I have one big waterfall
The spamming of waterfall takes up too much space and u see so much of it it becomes forgetable
I got a waterfall entrance and once fot my house buts that's about it
@timid stream yeah I agree but in some senses, but in areas like @patent sky garden it worked to make it look a bit more “unformatted” in a way
One*
This is my Fish market. Was very hard to create due to other plans i had to change. With the update I needed to make something out of the top beach which I basically ignored and hid before. Wanted to make it look like a pier.
That a just my opinion tho
I love it when i have a plan and move half my houses but it doesnt look good so i gotta re-move them
Can I see y’all museum entrance designs?? I need inspiration for mine. I’m struggling here
Updated
anyone have a cool plaza area i can see for inspo?
What's the best way to share a video
Damn y’all rly making me realize how trash my island is 😂
I cant save the video from my Facebook to my phone lol
@swift stag great job it looks amazing as always 😊
I cant save the video from my Facebook to my phone lol
@manic lantern easiest way is to post to twitter and link to the tweet
What's the best way to share a video
@manic lantern I post to twitter, then use some twitter video download site, then delete the tweet
My one waterfall
Anyone have any cool winter inspired islands? Or areas?
@heavy summit that’s a pretty cool picture spot
kek
I've got a few on there https://twitter.com/pipwyn
IM A SUCKER FOR WINTER 😭
Just finished my piano outside area
I got spoiled by some winter from people selling winter diy
And posting winter videos here
Well they can put a spoiler tag
They didnt and now i know that ||u can hear wolves howl in the background in winter season||
Oh that’s cool
At least thats what i think i heard
That would be amazing
I'm that guy posting winter photos haha
Ive been spoiled how could u
what flower would look good in the spaces??
Pretty stepping stone path that takes FOREVER to put down or regular stone path?
Orange, yellow, or blue to compliment @indigo vale
Stepping stones worth your time
Guys i did the rock thing
@rain widget how does one get the rocks to spawn in those specific spots?
Loving how my observation area looks after the update!
Fences, lots and lots of fences
Cover your island in mannequins
Also paths can help, stone or wood
They are easier to take off
Wow!
Just change the design and they vanish
Oooffft
Wow I didn't know that one > Just change the design and they vanish
@rain widget
Yeah its pretty useful
Thanks for the tip!
Any winter themed islands or areas?
One of my fav parts of my Ghibli themed island ^^
That’s awesome
@dawn wren
wanted to show an island design concept I had again for a long time now since I've already done the frog and the lake, so now I only have to make some extra land
and don't worry in the real game its symmetrical its not asymmetrical like in the design concept
@twin copper i love it but I learned the hard way not to decorate with dropped items
🤧
how is this combo?
Oh that’s not my island! And honestly that’s one of the reasons why I’m scared to host
the gold roses are just kind of in there
I was doing a giveaway and i still got robbed 
I think they could be replaced with another color of hyacinths
@wide ravine they dont match?
I feel like it’s more of a statement piece
Dang that’s sad!! I’m so sorry
i used to have it like this
It was like 3 regular stars but still kinda sucks
Oh that’s a cute combo too. The gold makes it seem more royal
Wtf wrong with ur joycon
I prefer the blue gold combo
^
@indigo vale ooh I love the brick fencing around the trees
That’s a case cover
@dawn wren thank u!!!
replace the gold roses with purple hyacinths and it'll look sweet
if you want you could also replace the white hyacinths with pink hyacinths
thanks for all the feedback ill try some of the ideas!
I really wish there were "mini bridges"
there are
Okay well not necessarily island themed but magical ?
what is LotV?
its terraforming @foggy haven
The lillies of the valley
so i finally started terraforming my island
oh ahahha thank u!!
Inspiration for terraforming?? I have no idea
@timid stream lol thank you
terraforming is stressful
but i have an idea of what i want to do but at the same time i dont
lol I love it
Heres an easy rhyme to remember, if you dont have a plan, dont flatten your land
Ugh same here!! I wanna make an island that works with all seasons (but mainly winter) but idk where to start with terraforming @.@
i got more used to it after planning my layout
I know about that, but I mean something that looks like a bridge. I'm making my village area rn, and making a nonspawnable stream down the center.
I ALREADY DID THAT LMAOO
that is a good rhyme
DONT DO IT THEYRE RIGHT
oh
@twin copper front to back
I’m legit stuck
flattening your land then having a plan is a good idea
just don't terraform all willy nilly by like adding more terrain
@foggy haven omg me too! there was a 2 unit stream between nooks and able sisters and i wanted a brick bridge but i had to widen the river underneath the bridge to 4 units for it to let me
Is anyone's island so developed that they are getting fps lag
Yeah! It's frustrating
Just start creating your entrance and it should flow from there
It means you have too much stuff out
use the happy island designer to make a plan
without it I would've never been able to make my island concept
if its non-spawnable why don't you just make a 3 wide connecting walkway with wood terraform and fences
Don’t move on to another section till it’s finished
Not really “developed”
the lag is so bad tho
so it looks like a bridge but its not lol
My suggestion is something i reget not doing. I have many areas that work walking from the front to the back but i wish i had more areas walking to the sides
i want to move my nook's cranny closer to the airport in case i have people visiting just for the store
it looks a little awkward but it doesn’t bother me too much lol
Cause it looks nice seeing the sides in different tiers
i decorated an area and made it really pretty but its lagging now
I could try that, it's just my waterfall is two wide, so I don't know how well it would look.
@crisp cloud I have my cranny at the back so it gives people the chance to explore your island
@swift stag that is also true
Before and now
I'll try it out, and see. First I have to raise the area one level though...
mine too, i was hooked on this idea i saw on twitter but i didn’t execute it as planned
@heavy summit my cranny and able is in complete different sections of the island
I want to show my before and now but the now isn't even done yet lol
Its my shopping district for convenience
i have two rivers at the bottom 🥺 rip
I'm going to have it where each villager area has alot of space
so then I can make a nice area just for those villagers that has space and is about them
@woven drift same
Cool
lol i have a really silly idea , but i recently traded monster statues in order to get two of each color, and i want to have one of each color on each corner of the island and then the other remaining four will be in a type of shrine circle just for the fun of it
i tagged the wrong moon i’m sorry🥺🥺
I want to just have robot heroes just somewhere guarding the island like they're all there watching the island or something
they require so many resources though
everyone has these cute bottom + left/right rivers and then theres me. i wanna restart
I know right
that would be 240 rusted parts
@wide ravine Do you want mine? I have 2 of them and I'm definitely not using them.
No it's fine I can make them myself
I don't want to take adavantage of others
LOL Youre not taking advantage I'm offering 😛
I already have robot heroes its fine
Just got the ability today, and immediately started on the bottom right. Going to move every house onto the right side.
you dont want anything for them?
TBH No I got them as a gift and from a flying present so
whats your code
they've been in my storage for like... ever
let me open my gate. it'll be like.. 10 minutes tho cuz.. I'm terraforming rn
My temporary fix for rock spawn lol
@wide ravine
nice
Alright first post
https://twitter.com/Senpai99621391/status/1255384275572137984?s=19
aww that whitehouse is so cute
@woven drift use mannequins
if you guys want walls but outside theres simple panels its a furniture item and it works really well
So you dont have to kick them all later
@woven drift omfgggg Hahahahahaa
With mannequins you change the design and they vanish
@wide ravine Can stuff be hung on the simple panel walls?
I don't think they can because they're a furniture item themselves
you can use designs though
@stoic patrol negative
Climbing walls can be used as walls, turn the climbing walls around to hide the rocks
@timid stream i can buy you one with NM
:>
does it need to be a certain color
@rain widget umm but i'll still have to pick up all the mannequins? and those take storage space so I'd rather kick away the bidoofs haha
tbh no not rly haha
purdy 
@woven drift no, use custom design mannequin. Dont use storage space. After you’re done just change the design and they all vanish
Making my villagers wear the same thing
Made a little duck area
Ducks? Howwww I need
thats so cute omg
Decoy duck diy
I can craft you a few decoy ducks
I'm so proud of this landscaping.
The 'eggs' are round mushrooms
My beaches
Im guessing it'll be random how I get it unless I trade for it. Also stupid question....if I hulk out and pocket a whole tree when I replant is it a whole tree still
what are the mats for the decoy duck?
4 softwood
Im guessing it'll be random how I get it unless I trade for it. Also stupid question....if I hulk out and pocket a whole tree when I replant is it a whole tree still
@woven drift yes
And i assume it's from message bottles and presents @woven drift
Whoever has it usually trades it for 1nmt though, doesnt go for much but is very cute
Dont forget to check ur villagers if theyre crafting
They craft 3 times a day all day
U can recolor the decoy ducks to different type of ducks
So u might wanna get more than 3
I can use my own mats, I'll cover them send me a dodo
Theres i think maybe 7 types of ducks
Yep
I love ducks...they are in my top 5 fav animals lol
But ducks are assholes
Exactly
I can say assholes but i cant say p e e p e e what kind of server is this
Can anyone judge my island

Not mine
the godzilla are a nice touch
does anyone have like map layouts showing the cliffsides for a japanese street?
trying to figure out how much space i need for it
^epic set up.
This is the updated picture of the Mama duck and babies
BABIES that’s so cute
my school's colors were purple and gold and I made my house area a tribute 😁
after weeks of real life time spent getting to this point, I finally have my Pride Flower Garden completed 😄 Super happy with how it turned out!
Love it!
That’s so nice!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥺💗
thanks! 🥰 😁
The gnome general marshalling his first recruits
quick question, if i want to make a medieval kinda town square, are tiki torches the best way to light it?
@unique pond if you have enough room bonfires would look cool. Campfire just as well
thoughts on my boardwalk so far? any ideas on how to improve it?
@maiden scaffold ah thank you! bonfires sound like a good idea
@ivory seal you could have the lights arranged in a rainbow (assuming you have all the colors)
@orchid peak maybe some seating and tables?
@maiden scaffold Thats a good idea!
im going to add a couple benches, dont have much space to work with
yeah you're right, benches are probably better
ooh, can you buy the binocular thing with nook miles? the sightseeing thing
oh nvm, you do have that XD
@velvet idol I think mine is six squares not including the flower beds and country fence, so only the hedges and the stone pathway part
Little Community Area next to the Able Sisters.
I need ideas for my Skyrim(Whiterun, Riften, and Markarth) and Zelda(Korok forest, Hetano village, and Rito village) island!
I’m contemplating if I’ll expand the 3rd tier and make a bridge or if I’ll put an incline on the side/bottom of the shopping district.
Can please I get some opinions on which path looks better? (The pink on the far sides is what I have now)
Brick
I like the pink you already have or the brick. Brick and roses is classic
I personally like the brick too!!
Any ideas on how to make my arcade better?
I want to keep the pink but it doesn’t go with how I’m remodeling my island /:
do you have a bar
No
@rain notch you should also customize the benches to be white
maybe the blue diner set but i want my arcade to look like that
@wheat tree I was thinking about that and getting white street lamps
I used to be an arcade tech in an amusement park so i took inspiration off that lol
@rain notch that would look good, and use black roses for contrast
I hate that we can’t customize anything at all about the resident services bdg
I agree
even the flooring is different and it bugs me bc the paths don’t match it
They should at least let us change the color scheme
I wish we could move the plaza/resident services
i wish you could put stuff on the plaza /:
Yeah the plaza is so boring
A fountain would look amazing in the center of it
I wish there was a kind of intercom radio that played music louder and further. I’d have them around my square
We need to edit at least something bout the plaza :/
Anyone willing to help me design tomorrow? I want to move more stuff around and figure out how I’ll do road pavement.
This is what the creators of the plaza look like:
I think it’s party bc npcs have to be able to spawn in that one spot
@wanton kernel I can help
Other than that it’s weird and doesn’t make sense
yeah and events happen on the plaza but still it doesn't match with the vibe of my island 😔😔
You cant build bridges on beaches right?
No
no you cannot
The views
That’s gorgeous
@swift stag that first pic is my favourite area of yours. I really want to visit your island one day!
It's very basic but it's temporary rn
@versed wadi I would love to have you come visit when it’s more complete! And then I could visit yours after 🤗
people that have all their villager houses in a neighborhood, could you please post a picture of your map? im trying to see how much space it takes up 🙂
@swift stag omg so pretty!!!!
@turbid raptor @rain notch thank you ladies ❤️
@frosty rune that’s mine but they have yards
@versed wadi I would love to have you come visit when it’s more complete! And then I could visit yours after 🤗
@swift stag That would be a treat. Let me know when 🙂
@swift stag it looks like you have 5 levels
@versed wadi I will most definitely do that 🥰
I can’t wait for the fall events
Oh how I wish!!! 😅😅😅 @green token
My little matsuri 🙂
@rain notch You get cute little mushrooms everywhere ahhhh
@swift stag which shrubs are those? the leaves are so nice
@hollow dew They’re the pink camellia bush but they’re not in season right now. I believe in winter they bloom 🙂
I’ve seen so many peoples mushroom decorations and I love them!! I love cottage/forrest type themes
thanks!!
I swapped out Yuka's house for Shep's and now I genuinely like this little tropical nook on my island. It's off theme from the rest, but I might keep this little zone now!
@hollow dew I actually much prefer them the way they are actually
yeah i'd rather have shrubs without blooms haha
That’s really cute! @versed wadi
@versed wadi Ahhh amazing as usual 👏⭐️
Going for urban style. Idk what to add. Pls give me tips
@lunar crest shrubs behind the benches would look nice, perhaps with trees behind the shrubs?
Or the hedges 🙂
^^
Oh did that it's just out of frame
Oh I can kinda see it now
Any tips on how to decorate/improve my island I'm stuck at 3 stars
@lunar crest you could do benches on the other side of your benches.
@hardy wing stars are just a numbers game, craft and nook miles furni really helps so put lots of that down
Can anybody give me tips on how to make my island more western themed?
@versed wadi The pressure has risen with you wanting to visit 🤣
@maiden scaffold can you elaborate I'm kinda confused
@hardy wing fences, fruit trees, lots of flowers, outside furniture tbh it varies i think!!
Listen to Isabelle basically
Can anyone let me check out their island please ? I need inspos
@lunar crest so sometimes in parks they have double sided benches where if one person is on either bench they’re back to back
@versed wadi The pressure has risen with you wanting to visit 🤣
@swift stag give over. everything you post looks incredible!
@maiden scaffold thats a good idea thanks
added a profile just for another tent lol
anyone know which incline looks good with terracotta path? haven't seen any pictures to know which to pick
Stone?
The natural incline goes with everything, might not want a path leading right up to it though
Does anyone knows how many trees are needed? Like a gauge? 30? 50? I’ve been adding trees and isabelle keeps asking me to add more. It’s going to turn into a huge ass forest soon
Have you got a variety of trees too?
Idk the exact number but didn't feel like that many to me given the size of the island lol
Yep. I have all fruit trees around and a mixture of cedar and hardwood
Does anyone have any orchard inspo?
That’s what I thought. When I unlocked terraforming it wasn’t a lot but I’ve dropped to 2* and have been stuck because I lack trees 😰
I have 55 trees on my 5 star island so somewhere around there
Thanks for the numbers, can I check if it includes the fruit ones or excluding? @mild sail
I know having too much trees isn’t good too. Isabelle will tell you that as well
It includes the fruit trees
Don't think you have to worry about too many 😉
I hate cutting trees down, it makes my island look ugly🙁
What do you mean ugly though? The stumps can be removed if you’re referring to that
I saw someone mention earlier on that too many trees can be an issue?
The villagers supposedly get lost
My number includes fruits and bamboo
Minus them it's 26 regular and cedar trees
Says misses Isabelle
Yeah they do get lost
^ yep this. But I’m lacking trees so that doesn’t apply to me
So far here’s my island
Sure, but you need a loooot of trees for that issue
I’m going to run into issues then as my island is filled with trees and it’s not close to being completed 🤣
@mild sail thanks! I already have 36 fruit trees actually.. and the normal trees are around 20+ as well.. excluding bamboo.. isabelle hates me 😂
Do you have any palms
I do, I’ve around 10-15 coconut trees as well around the beach
@tropic raft the pond on the top left looks like a shirt
I say Isabelle wants around 50 trees
Also I think shrubs and flowers help too
I got lots of flowers and a few shrubs
Idk then, just keep adding until she's satisfied lol, you're probably close
They have to be fully grown so might take a few days to adjust your score
Yep I’ll probably add abit more and hopefully she’ll change her comment regarding my island
@wheat tree I see it lol
@mild sail thanks a lot for the numbers. I’ll work around it
I’m struggling with building my main plaza area and I have dead space in front of my house by the beach
is there any island designer that can help me figure out what should i do in my island??😂😂😂 i can pay u
I excluded my coconut trees and I don't know the number but my beach is filled with them so I say around 10+
That might add to the tree situation
Okay I added the benches in the back. Anymore tips from anyone?
Need another staircase but my grand house entrance is coming together
@lunar crest add flowers!
@wheat tree oooooooooo! I've never thought of that
Kiki in between the bench pairs would be cute
@tropic raft I'm thinking shrubs or flowers
Yes that would work
This is the Yucca, I think you should use it
If I paid 2m bells could someone make me a layout on the design thing I could follow. I’m not good at designing on the thing online but if I give some ideas could someone help? Dm if interested 😅
i feel like mine is FAR too crowded but idk how to fix it
ohh i kind of like how much stuff there is
i have the opposite problem with mine, not utilizing enough space
I need honest opinions, does this this good with the cedar trees or should I do the regular trees.
I’m personally not a fan of the hedges
@zenith harness i would use dark colored bushes myself instead of the hedge
I think do wooden fencing with cedar and normal fruit trees
Omg good idea
but like a town square theme probably needs regular trees
It’s your island. all that matters if it looks nice to you.
i kind of prefer regular better
I couldn’t decide wether it looked good or not
I’m gonna try bushes actually because I am trying a cozy cottage forestry type place
Can anyone help me do an island layout
Does anyone know if any YouTubers that do those 5* island tours are here? If so id love to contact them... My island design is very different to any one I've seen on YouTube
This combo is nice for forestry
You need to email a YouTube that does island tours
ohh that’s cute
Hmmm
OMG WAIT CLOUDY
especially with the fall colore
Can I see all your meusums? I need some ideas
THAT LOOKS AMAZING IM STEALING SIS.
Isn't the fun of the game designing your own stuff lol, not paying someone
TAKE IT
IM DITCHING BRICK
y’all made me insecure now.
@full marten WOW 😍😍😍
Dark dirt it is
You gotta remember there's people out there putting 12+ hrs a day into the game
Don't compare
Okay yea ur right @woven drift
Unless you wanna be sad
@full marten Love it I have a similar path down to Redd's 🙂 But I need to decorate his beach
Any of u know where to get dark bushes or is that not a thing
Holly is darker than some
@versed wadi ummm the heart stones - I need 😍😍😍
Anyone got museums to show off
@obtuse haven more furniture, maybe near the fountain, benches, potted plants etc
@versed wadi thATS amazing
I'll try and find the code for them
cloudy is that u in ur pfp
@zenith harness Yes 🤣
ughhh speaking of bushes i hope leif gets his own shop soon, i keep buying bushes and then placing them down then the next day i find out i need even more bushes and i have to wait a week 😭
Your gorgeous:(
@zenith harness you’re the sweetest 🥰
Tehe, @ember pewter time skip!!
ima go with the orange tea olive bushes because the orange is cute
HAHA i was going to but i have turnips and i would need to time skip backwards again
oooh!
I usually make all my money that I’m gonna need for a few days in a couple hours so I’m free to time skip
Multiple runs between islands
I made 4 mil the other day tehe
I haven't finished my set up of hidden beach yet butbim thinking a kinda pirate bay ? With some skeletons and stuff. Warning signs.
woww, i can barley make 30k a day aha
How do u live 😂
that sounds cool! i love themed beaches, they always turn out amazing
Has anyone built or decorated an area around where Redd docks? I’d love to see some inspo
