[kind spindle]

does anyone have a nice playground they feel like showing off?? need some insp

[formal ingot]

@swift stag Thank you! <3

[wild heron]

Here is my rock garden... if I HAD ONE
@small sail It'll happen 😉

[agile stag]

@wild heron TT?

I am very tempted to do this but dunno if i have the patience

[tawny glacier]

[agile stag]

i have kind of planned current features around rocks so fences block etc

[dim dune]

@tawny glacier hearth

[tawny glacier]

tysm

[wild heron]

@wild heron TT?
@agile stag Even with TT takes some time and effort.

[agile stag]

I'd say so 😅

[wild heron]

but satisfying nonetheless

[agile stag]

do you know how many days roughyl it took?

[meager seal]

it would be cool if there were color changing things so it could go with the season

[static dirge]

THERES ILLUMINATED SNOWFLAKES IM DOJE

THIS GAME IS TOO GOOD

[tawny glacier]

C L I F F

[wild heron]

If you set up fences perfectly max, 6 days. But took me a few tries cause i missed a few spots so maybe like 8 days total.

[agile stag]

fences? do you mean like tiling the rest of the island so they cant spawn there?

[thorn tiger]

you can do it with mannequins

[raven kindle]

What do you all thing about this?

[shut snow]

after flattening my whole island, I'm starting with my reconstruction!! It's very tedious and time consuming :,)) hopefully it'll look good when I'm done!!!

[agile stag]

why not just use non-dirt paths?

[hollow horizon]

@raven kindle for starters you can’t have that many inclines lol

[raven kindle]

I am not starter

[grim cosmos]

xD

[raven kindle]

I am designing my future island

[grim cosmos]

you can only have max 8 inclines

[hollow horizon]

I-
Yes I know. You asked how we felt and I meant like starting with the fact you can’t have 10 inclines

[grim cosmos]

XD

[raven kindle]

Oh okay haha

[grim cosmos]

that was a good chuckle

[spice birch]

Has anyone made a horror island yet ? I saw a purgatory one on youtube today, I wish I made one 😭

[woven drift]

Tarantula island comes pretty close 😂 But as far as I know,
Nope

[bold mirage]

I bet there will be a ton of horror ones after Halloween

[woven drift]

since ive made so many custom anime designs I decided to make a con area

[ashen shell]

I haven’t made a horror Island but I saw someone do it because I gave them grizzly

[leaden orbit]

Omg I’m desperately wanting those panels!

[stiff scroll]

Same

[bold mirage]

I have a brown simple panel but no other colors

[versed wadi]

I have a graveyard, but it's more cutesy than outright horror

[high sundial]

I’ve heard there was someplace where all the villager house exteriors were being documented, does anyone know of anywhere I could go to find out what the exteriors look like? I’m trying to decide who my last 3 villagers will be and that would be a deciding factor for me.

[winged bloom]

I don't have giant robot

[hollow horizon]

@high sundial just google ACNH Villager Homes and it should be the first result

[raven kindle]

@hollow horizon apart from the declines, what do you think about the rest? The neighborhood for example

[hollow horizon]

@raven kindle I think the neighborhood is a good concept but it’s fairly packed in so you’ll have tons of open space on the bottom half of the island

[foggy folio]

can i visit someone’s island for inspo?

[versed wadi]

@high sundial https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QYW4E1M-XxhbtFgE27qGR1stlyeC3bEP

[woven verge]

I have these two small Islands and I don't know what to do with them yet! Anybody have an idea? C:

[raven kindle]

@hollow horizon so you think is a good idea to place the 10 houses there?

[mellow berry]

does anyone know what other furnitures/things I could add with a Fairy themed Island?

[hollow horizon]

@raven kindle personally I like the neighborhood on the front of the island then flower beds, orchard, star gazing etc in the back on cliffs but by all means it’s your island!

[rose marlin]

@raven kindle Maybe give them bigger yards ?

[hollow horizon]

Or that ^ spread them out more

[unreal palm]

@mellow berry hyacinth lamps or moon stone rock paths or pizza ovens! Also lots of nature items other then mushrooms and flowers also use the regular mushrooms on the ground

[woven drift]

Finally finished my sewing area ^^

[hollow horizon]

Where does everyone keep getting these mushrooms lol

[scenic blaze]

@mellow berry definitely hyacinth lamps. also i love the nova lights for a magical touch

[unreal palm]

@hollow horizon you can get them around October

Sorry I meant November*

[hollow horizon]

Well that would be why I don’t have them lol

[mellow berry]

@unreal palm ohhh yess! also could Fruit furnitures help?

[harsh inlet]

What a wonderful island

[unreal palm]

yes you can actually ask someone in Australia if you could buy some

[harsh inlet]

Amazing

I like it!

[foggy folio]

can i visit someone’s island for inspo

[grim cosmos]

Someone tell me yellow blue and purple can work so I don’t have to restart 1000 more times

[unreal palm]

@mellow berry yes! The peach surprise box would be so cute because it’s a big peach and it will give you a fairy like feel if you put it in perfect places! Also don’t be shy and you should add some simple ghibli themed items it would throw all the magic together

[harsh inlet]

Someone tell me yellow blue and purple can work so I don’t have to restart 1000 more times
@grim cosmos what colour do you want

[hollow horizon]

@grim cosmos blue and purple go really well together so I don’t see why you couldn’t also incorporate yellow

[grim cosmos]

Blue airport but got yellow 😦 for purple/blue fairy theme

[strong scaffold]

did you just restart ?

[harsh inlet]

Blue airport but got yellow 😦 for purple/blue fairy theme
@grim cosmos wow

[grim cosmos]

Restarted 1000 times

[hollow horizon]

I’ll be honest I have never once looked at the color of my airport

[strong scaffold]

same

[grim cosmos]

lol I know so unfortunate I’m only hung up on it because I got pashmina as a villager

Otherwise I would restart again to try get blue airport

but still debating cuz could prob get her later

[woven drift]

Hey, is someone hear who want to play together? I'm in a really bad mood so might it would help me...

[unreal palm]

For anyone thinking they’re airport isn’t perfect so they restart it a great way for it to match your theme in a way is to make the beginning look really busy in the front of your town like trees or mushrooms or waterfalls ect!

[woven drift]

Here*

[unreal palm]

I would but I’m in the middle of terraforming a big area of my town

[vivid hill]

This is my layout! Still working in some areas tho.. The hardest for me was how inconvenient it is to have resident services so close to the airport

[grim cosmos]

I mainly restarted for a new plaza spot but then I learned there are airport colors and now I’m sad

[upper loom]

Hey everyone, any tips on what to put there? I have this big empty spot on the upper part on my island and I don't know what to put there! The only thing I'd rather not put it's tables or chairs cause I put them all over the island already lol

[hybrid cedar]

How big of a grid space do you leave in front of or to the side of nooks and ables for them to have an outdoor shop?

[vivid hill]

@vivid hill what is your entry looking like? :)
@velvet idol It's like a little plaza

[unreal palm]

I made this super cute idea it’s kinda Japanese/ghibli inspired idk

[agile stag]

i'd say put paths under the fountain and clock

imo

[unreal palm]

I’m going to make this area a lot more busy but this is it so far

[mellow berry]

how about gnomes? and hide them somewhere 😀

[vivid hill]

I'm still not sure about my beach area..

[ivory seal]

more boardwalk progress! 💕

[rich tundra]

Hello all. Tonight I will record a video showing off my island before a I start to destroy and start over. The layout is essentially complete but I realize it’s not the theme I want. I just need to share so it wasn’t for nothing lol.

[cloud pasture]

Does anyone have any good designs for a flower area? I would love to be able to make hybrids easily and make it look good in the process!

[turbid mauve]

@vivid hill Love your pink frog villager! Don't know what her name in english is tho 🥺 Love your layout!

[woven drift]

does anyone have a nice oath qr which would go well with a white themed cafè? i am struggling finding one rn

[vivid hill]

@vivid hill Love your pink frog villager! Don't know what her name in english is tho 🥺 Love your layout!
@turbid mauve It's Puddles! She's very nice

[hollow horizon]

@cloud pasture I had flowers everywhere until I got all the hybrids, and now have duplication plots so I could rid the mass base colors

[agile mantle]

Campsite!!

[opal linden]

I'm messing with waterscaping to see if I can make a small island on second level to move my house onto, maybe a villager's house there if I can

[cloud pasture]

@hollow horizon Got any good pictures of your flower patch? Aint gonna copy it but I just want some headers for direction 🙂

[woven drift]

@cloud pasture I made a valley for my flowers with some waterfalls and garden rocks, only downside is how much space it took up but I really liked how it turned out

[hollow horizon]

This is the guide I used (not mine) 🙂

[cloud pasture]

@woven drift got a picture? Would love to see it!

[vivid hill]

Picnic area

[cloud pasture]

oh there is a guide? sweet

[hollow horizon]

I’ll take a picture of my plots hang on 🙂

[upper loom]

Picnic area
@vivid hill it's really pretty, I'd add a pillow on the carpet thkgg to sit on maybe

[agile mantle]

@cloud pasture check the pins in #garden-science-discussion, those people have flowers down to a goddamn science and it's mind blowing

[vivid hill]

@vivid hill it's really pretty, I'd add a pillow on the carpet thkgg to sit on maybe
@upper loom Good idea! Ty

[robust dew]

anyone know the dimensions of the resident services?

[rich tundra]

Anyone else have in island in perpetual darkness due to work?

[hollow horizon]

@cloud pasture

[cloud pasture]

@agile mantle Cheers! gotta check it out

[upper loom]

Hey everyone, any tips on what to put there? I have this big empty spot on the upper part on my island and I don't know what to put there! The only thing I'd rather not put it's tables or chairs cause I put them all over the island already lol
@upper loom pls help? Lol there's a video attached there, I really have no ideas (used to be full of flowers for breeding but I moved them)

[cloud pasture]

@hollow horizon Thats looking hella sick my dude

[leaden orbit]

@ivory seal do you have a code for the boardwalk pattern? It’s seriously fantastic!

[hollow horizon]

By all means copy it, I don’t mind at all!

[woven drift]

@cloud pasture mines heart shaped but a regular valley would look good to + you could utilize space better, im done with breeding atm though so I didnt need much space

[vivid hill]

anyone know the dimensions of the resident services?
@robust dew I just measured, I think it's about 12x10

[robust dew]

cool, thanks

[agile mantle]

Not me lmao, I may be an essential worker for the pandemic but since my work knows I crack under pressure I'm on indefinite leave @rich tundra

[ivory seal]

@leaden orbit

[cloud pasture]

@woven drift Looks great! I gotta get more roses

[vivid hill]

My main plaza

[leaden orbit]

Thanks you so much!

[ivory seal]

np:)

[rich spruce]

outside my fav villagers house ^^

[vagrant sluice]

After work today I’m goin all in on my redesign

[grim cosmos]

thoughts on this layout?

[solar comet]

Hey can someone come over cause I have this big empty spot and idk what to do with it so if someone would help me I would be rly happy

[wicked drift]

My main plaza
@vivid hill that’s incredible

[rich tundra]

@vagrant sluice me too RIP I will begin destroying this tonight

[vagrant sluice]

@vagrant sluice me too RIP I will begin destroying this tonight
@rich tundra it’s so pretty tho 😭

[shut snow]

good luck to you guys doing complete island overhauls. It's really tedious

[grim cosmos]

I was about to ask how u only have one river mouth

[vagrant sluice]

Spent yesterday flattening it takes a TON on time to get rid of cliffs and rivers

[woven drift]

It took me three days to destroy everything so I can start Landscaping from scratch

[scenic blaze]

i filled in my rivers to begin a big lake project a couple days ago and i'm halfway done now

it's very tedious but so satisfying to see them build up

[shut snow]

It took me around a day and a half to flatten my island and move all my buildings around

[woven drift]

do u guys have any island inspo for an uncreative person lol sbdhhd

[rich tundra]

@vagrant sluice thx but it’s completely forest themed. All cedars, and wall around island really limited my space. I really don’t know what I want instead though 😦

[woven drift]

My fav villagers garden

[fervent gate]

What should I do with this space 😳

[wild heron]

do u guys have any island inspo for an uncreative person lol sbdhhd
@woven drift My waterscaped resident village 🙂 they dont need yards 😛

[vagrant sluice]

@rich tundra I had a tropical jungle theme before this but going for a farm ranch town now

[hollow horizon]

@fervent gate maybe a cafe?

[upper loom]

I have a big empty spot and I have no idea of what to do with it, if anyone could come over and give tips it'd be great :c

[terse terrace]

i havent decorated yet but what do you guys think?

[vivid hill]

Anyone looking for inspo is welcome! Dodo Code is 3NQHT
You’re free to explore and shop!
@vivid hill Still open!

[vagrant sluice]

Before the tear down

[rich tundra]

@vagrant sluice that my main one I’m think of. I want vast open area back lol.

[vivid hill]

i havent decorated yet but what do you guys think?
@terse terrace Looking good!

[woven drift]

@wild heron your island is gorgeous❤️❤️

[upper loom]

@vivid hill Still open!
@vivid hill can I visit?

[vivid hill]

Everyone is welcome!

[vagrant sluice]

@vagrant sluice that my main one I’m think of. I want vast open area back lol.
@rich tundra open space looks so pretty in the evening tbh

[rich tundra]

@vagrant sluice good luck with your island makeover! Hopefully we can both find satisfaction at some point

[young relic]

anyone have island entrance ideas or inspo?

[marble portal]

Hey do y'all know if the bamboo fence is purchasable w/ nook miles or is it an dropped recipe?

[vapid hemlock]

What do you guys search for on IG to find inspo?

[swift stag]

@marble portal I believe it’s a recipe

[versed wadi]

anyone have island entrance ideas or inspo?
@young relic

[cyan cedar]

@vapid hemlock my whole feed is filled of it 💀

[vapid hemlock]

Do you follow specific people or certain hashtags?

[marble portal]

@swift stag Is it a recipe via nooks? Like how most fences are purchasable with it :x but I haven't seen the bamboo

[gray osprey]

@ydna
@manic lantern this island is beautiful 😳😳

[hollow horizon]

Yes, you purchase it through the ATM type thing

[marble portal]

Ah thanks! Maybe I'm unlucky and it hasn't appeared

[swift stag]

@marble portal I’m thinking Nook miles now

[upper loom]

Where did you get all those sharks? :c @vivid hill

[cyan cedar]

@vapid hemlock yeah i follow people like @newhorizonsideas

[swift stag]

@marble portal You can buy the DIY off someone though 🙂

[frozen finch]

how much space do you all leave for villager "yards"/porches? would love to see example plots from people!

[real vessel]

Island Redux. ; w ;

[vapid hemlock]

@cyan cedar I will go follow that now. Any others?

[vagrant sluice]

How do you guys take videos of your lslands

[vivid hill]

Hold the screenshot button

How do you guys take videos of your lslands
@vagrant sluice

[marble portal]

@young relic My entrance! I did more of a city-ish look. I had Able Shop + Nooks up front so I can trap people in if I want to lol

[cyan cedar]

@vapid hemlock not rlly Pinterest helps too :>

[real vessel]

@frozen finch I use to give them a whole set of 4 extra spaces on each side so they had proper yards. I recently narrowed that to a 8x9 fenced space which is still decently large but not enough to be obnoxious. I can open my gates if you'd like to see.

[tiny light]

What do you guys think of this little area!? Any suggestions to make it better

[frozen finch]

@real vessel does the 8x9 include the space taken up by the fences? i'd love to take a look!

[blissful shale]

@tiny light try adding some more grass areas and flowers!

[hollow horizon]

@tiny light maybe a couple flowers or bushes on top of the waterfall too 🙂

[wild heron]

What do you guys think of this little area!? Any suggestions to make it better
@tiny light DM me and ill send you poolside chairs.

[tiny light]

@hollow horizon @blissful shale sounds good

How can I measure the space between every house? I want to make a neighborhood of 10 houses and I want the exact space between every house

[frigid flume]

My house 🤗

[swift stag]

@raven kindle

[verbal obsidian]

Need advice on my beach area. Help!!

[woven drift]

Venice Beach

[real vessel]

@raven kindle I use custom dresses. once you're done with them you can change the design to delete them all. You can also use custom paths so you can walk through them but they don't disappear if you change it.

[visual hamlet]

that might be dumb, but do you think it's easier, design wise, to turn a part of the island from wild to urban, or the opposite ?

[young relic]

@versed mural I think a bonfire and some tiki torches would look nice on the grassy area next to the beach

[swift stag]

@visual hamlet Choose what you excel at better 🙂

[visual hamlet]

yeah I think I have an easier time with the latter so i'll keep it at that

[spark marlin]

need help for ideas of bridges to my house.. two on each side or one in front?? (the front would be a bit off center)

[versed wadi]

I want some surf boards 😦 Are they DIY or catalgoue?

[woven drift]

Catalog

[cyan cedar]

I feel so done bc i recently moved all my villagers houses but then i moved 3 of them to a new spot and im unhappy with where they are so i gotta move them again 👹

[lusty flume]

$$ LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME PLAN MY ISLAND OUT! Please DM Me For Further Inquiries! $$

[tiny light]

@verbal obsidian maybe a bonfire like at some vacation beaches! Or tiki torches

[versed wadi]

need help for ideas of bridges to my house.. two on each side or one in front?? (the front would be a bit off center)
@spark marlin Diagonal bridges are fun 🙂

[lusty flume]

@spark marlin diagonal 😄

If anyone here is super architectural and creative w/ islands etc. , dm me 😄 I am paying NMTs for help 😛

[upper loom]

I have a big empty spot and I have no idea of what to do with it, if anyone could come over and give tips it'd be great :c

[tawny glacier]

@grim cosmos very good

[grim cosmos]

o ty

I hope I can put a house on the peninsula

[tawny glacier]

idk tbh, if all peninsula's are the same then i dont think so

are they all the same size?

[celest cairn]

A or B?

[woven drift]

A

[spark marlin]

A

[near dove]

A

[celest cairn]

Ok guys. Ty

[grim cosmos]

no some are different

[spark marlin]

lol

[grim cosmos]

My first island had a big peninsulsa

[empty stratus]

Finally wrapping up my island!

[grim cosmos]

and i had a house on it

[limber zephyr]

@lusty flume wow your island is amazing

[opal raven]

what size (in tiles) does a body of water need to be in order to be considered a pond by the game? i need to make a new pond :/

[scenic blaze]

idk the exact answer, but i have a pond that's roughly 5x5 (has a corner chopped off and the smoothed edges) that spawns pond fish

[opal raven]

oh nice ok

some people were telling me it was 3x3, but that didn't seem right to me

[scenic blaze]

you can always test it out, i tested mine by running around til it got out of frame and going back and it spawned one within a minute or so

[viral coral]

wrong #

[opal raven]

wrong server altogether :P

[spare crater]

Added a sitting area next to my house if I wanna take photos & finished up the lower area to my house

[wanton void]

Is my map messy or good?

[opal raven]

oh wait wrong channel

[versed wadi]

Anyone want some weeding doing?

[rose peak]

Are you guys time traveling? Its taking forever to move things and collect items

[versed wadi]

I need weeds for a marshland I’m planning

[thin slate]

How are people taking pictures of their shit without having the glare form the switch? are they taking the picture in the game then sending it in discord through the switch?

[spare crater]

I post mine to a private twitter account LOL

And save them to my phone or laptop

[ivory seal]

@thin slate you can take screenshots and post them on your social media then download

[scenic blaze]

@versed wadi whenever i need weeds i hop on a nook miles island tour, the islands usually have around 60 or so?

[versed wadi]

Good shout

[deep spear]

has anyone made an imperial courtyard

[woven drift]

Just a weird question but im looking to get the villagers i want to match my island theme: (fairytale, magic, forest) which one should i do? nr 1 or 2?! I was thinking about 2 more... idk-

[polar dagger]

Nr 1

[unkempt badger]

Anyone got outdoor spa ideas??

[mint wren]

Does anyone like flora because i have her currently

[tiny light]

What do you guys think of my little restaurant?! Any suggs

[fiery ravine]

Bout to flatten my island and start from scratch

[olive orchid]

@fiery ravine That is the wayyyy

[potent star]

Sounds like you've got quite the task ahead of you. Good luck!

[olive orchid]

Corey did you do that yet^ ?

I finished my rock garden and it took allll dayyyyyy

[verbal obsidian]

I’m stuck on this beach area. I have a peninsula to the right of this patch of grass area too.

[frosty spruce]

it takes like 3 weeks to flatten your island and move all your houses to the beach tho 😭

[verbal obsidian]

I don’t like the north/south positioning bc you can’t see things you place

[fiery ravine]

Omg i just saw the rock garden technique thats great

[lucid pike]

@tiny light looks nice! Personally I would have all the cast iron handles pointing into the table to avoid ppl "hitting"them, and maybe more green pops?

[agile stag]

@olive orchid did you use paths on the whole rest of the island?

[cyan cedar]

It took me 2 days to flatten out my island but i didnt move my buildings 😖

[fiery ravine]

Im moving all my houses to the beaches since i cant edit those

[frosty spruce]

the houses are what takes forever

[tiny light]

@lucid pike thank you! I’ll have to play around with the pan placing then

[frosty spruce]

takes like 15 days to move them all

[olive orchid]

@agile stag no actually i put mannequins all over and although it takes longer when you’re done and you change the custom design they all disappear

So no clean up

[agile stag]

😮

[verbal obsidian]

Need advice for this area. It’s like too small to put things and have room to walk around it.

[cyan cedar]

Damn i cant decide how i want my villager area to look 🦧

[neat gyro]

@verbal obsidian what i did with my little peninsula

[pearl palm]

what are you guys doing with the path to your secret beaches?

[dim dune]

Welp... just used up 12 stacks of rocks for a single area, not the mention the 10 stacks of rocks for an area just beside that one... oh dear god

Now I don’t have any more rocks but I still need more

[scenic blaze]

everyone complains about the lack of wood but i'm always hunting down stone and hardwood

[barren karma]

should i put the fences against the trees or not? or how can i make it look better?

[scenic blaze]

if you put fences against the trees it would make it harder to harvest

maybe remove the dirt path underneath the fences so it matches the one tile path between trees? you can test it out in one section and post a comparison if you aren't sure

[barren karma]

i have a 2 tile path in the middle, too, so i can maybe put a decoration their
so it might look off if i remove the two tile outside?

[drowsy dock]

can anyone design a map for me i kind of suck!

[pure nimbus]

@drowsy dock lol same

[barren karma]

there* fuck

[scenic blaze]

you can always try it and redo it if you don't like it!

[bronze crystal]

Can I visit someone’s island for inspiration? Willing to pay bells or nmts !

[tight hawk]

are any of Redds statues 1x1/

[wanton kernel]

Is there any signs for fruit?

[olive orchid]

@drowsy dock it’s much easier to see some type of vision if you make it flat and empty and then start designing

[lime bane]

@pearl palm i did a market street going up to it

[scenic blaze]

#custom-design-help🎨 can help with fruit signs

[drowsy dock]

oh okay tysm! i shall make it flat and empty then move all the stuff to one side LOL.

[wanton kernel]

Thank you.

[jolly pond]

I need some weeds for hedges I can pay in bells if anyone wants to help:)

[olive orchid]

@drowsy dock yess that’s what i did it was so hard to think of something because i was looking at what was already there

[lime bane]

cool

[woven drift]

Nice

[rugged ice]

Entrance

Little park area with heart shaped lakes

[lime bane]

ive decided on a fancy white marble-y island if that makes sense but it’s taking forever to find the statues i want for my entrance 😭

[versed wadi]

@drowsy dock how do you feel about blank pages? If they give you anxiety then don’t flatten your island just yet

[primal osprey]

https://turnip.exchange/island/6e2f1cc1

[sharp stump]

Corey did you do that yet^ ?
@olive orchid did you do 4 rocks on 1 grid? And 2 rocks on another?

[woven drift]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to make a mini heart island

[olive orchid]

@sharp stump wym?

@sharp stump oh yeah i think i did but I didn’t look

[versed wadi]

You can do a mini diagonal heart on a 3x3 grid

[sharp stump]

@sharp stump wym?
@olive orchid for your rocks. The rock farm haha. Cause I’ve read there’s max of rocks per grid

[stiff scroll]

I think it's 3 max per grid

[olive orchid]

@sharp stump let me look

[stiff scroll]

But I'm not entirely sure

[unkempt badger]

Can anyone send pics for outdoor spa inspo please

[late trail]

Just finished Marshal's home area

[next dove]

Can all 6 rocks be in one acre together?

[olive orchid]

Yes i did 3 rocks on each grid

[sharp stump]

Can all 6 rocks be in one acre together?
@next dove no

[tiny light]

I took your guys suggestions, is this any better

[sharp stump]

Yes i did 3 rocks on each grid
@olive orchid thank you for checking

[agile stag]

lol conflicting info

what does grid/acre mean?

[next dove]

I still don't have a direct answer asdfghjkl

[sharp stump]

I still don't have a direct answer asdfghjkl
@next dove ?

[rancid sequoia]

does anyone have any cool ideas for island entrances ?

[stiff scroll]

@next dove No, 6 rocks cannot be on one grid tile (e.g. A2, C4, etc.)

[next dove]

oh ok, this is for sure proven and tested?

[stiff scroll]

It's been tested

[versed wadi]

@rancid sequoia do you have a theme for your island?

[sharp stump]

@next dove I literally answered you, no.

[agile stag]

ohh, so you align it up with the cell borders

[sharp stump]

I mean no, earlier. Haha

[next dove]

the person before you said yes though lol @sharp stump

[rancid sequoia]

@versed wadi no lol, just super pretty and nature-y

[agile stag]

the illusion of same grid

[fast lintel]

@verbal obsidian I put a picnic blanket down and some trees to make a cute picnic area hehe

[versed wadi]

@rancid sequoia do you have any screenshots of what you’ve done so far?

[agile stag]

@next dove he said "3 in each grid" , same area but technically different cells on the map

[woven drift]

Is there a possible way to get an over head view of all the island so I can copy?

[sharp stump]

@next dove I think it’s been proven and tested since ppl who’ve made the rock farm said so

[stiff scroll]

The Japanese are hardcore AC gamers and testers lol

[main tangle]

I’m very stuck on how to decorate outside of nooks can you guys send how you all did

[sharp stump]

what does grid/acre mean?
@agile stag I believe it’s the huge square blocks you see on your island map.

[next dove]

thank you all for the help!

[rancid sequoia]

@versed wadi no, but if you go up a few steps, the residential center is to the right and the museum is to the left.

[empty stratus]

I have 6 rocks in a single grid area...

[vagrant sluice]

So since my RS is right up against the airport I decided to make the grand entrance behind the building instead with a “Main Street” running across the island

[open valve]

Has anyone raised their whole island and liked it?

[glacial warren]

@main tangle This is how I decorated my shops!

[versed wadi]

@open valve not the whole island, but I’m using cliffs a lot.

[open valve]

@versed wadi thanks. That helps

[undone isle]

i have this cute diner area im working on :PP

[next dove]

woah

[versed wadi]

@main tangle that’s how my Nooks used to look

Can someone help me plan my orchard? It's 38x 14, just can't think of a good layout D:

@vivid pulsar I like the stone, at least in that picture

stone plus hedges work really well

[scenic blaze]

@ember kestrel oooh really coming together

these areas look great

[ember kestrel]

ty!! you're so supportive!

the garden beds are for green mums and purple windflowers 🥺 they're all specially bred flowers

[polar iris]

any ideas on what i should put here? i think its missing something

[vivid pulsar]

@ember kestrel alright thanks

[ember kestrel]

np, just remember to do what looks best for you!

[scenic blaze]

you're stronger than i am lol. i haven't bred a single green mum on my own, i traded for a few and have been cloning

[ember kestrel]

I plan on doing the 5 visitors watering my flowers thing. if I even just do it a couple times a week I won't need as many flowers to breed with and they'll take up a lot less space

[royal bison]

Hello I am stuck on what I can do with my island. There is basically nothing on it and I moved everything to the left like my trees and flowers. I don’t know how to make my island look so I was hoping if I can get a little bit of help.

[woven drift]

Hello! Can anyone please dm me suggestions for ways to fill empty space in my island? I have a really big area with nothing in it and I’m stumped :(

[verbal obsidian]

Where are people putting these secret beach paths on their islands?

[ember kestrel]

@polar iris I'm not too sure but if it were mine I'd probably add a lot more fencing, but that's how I like it

[verbal obsidian]

It seems like they are on north end of map, but i don’t have large stretches on beach on my north part of map.

Are they putting them going to where Redd’s boat docks ?

[ember kestrel]

there should just be a little sliver of beach on the north

there can't be more than that but you can flatten the area around the beach and add docks with custom patterns, stuff like that

[verbal obsidian]

@ember kestrel ok. That is what I thought, but was unsure

[bronze crystal]

Can I visit someone’s island for inspiration? Willing to pay bells or nmts !

[toxic temple]

anyone have blue fencing inspo? i dont see it used like anywhere and i need ideas 🥺

[full marten]

watermelon garden 🥴

[ember kestrel]

yeah, the regular non-secret beaches don't go up to the north portion, and the secret beach is just a sliver

that's hecking heck heck adorable

I don't even know what items those are?

[late trail]

Beach balls

[vagrant sluice]

Watermelon beach ball

[versed wadi]

@full marten amazing!

[ember kestrel]

it's a variant you can find/catalog?

[vagrant sluice]

yep! I have one

[versed wadi]

@bitter cypress I have one you can catalog

[full marten]

ty I saw it on a island tour and thought it was adorable

[ember kestrel]

my husband needs a watermelon garden... watermelon is a passion of his...

I'm giggling lmao

that would be so nice of you mcgibbon 🥺

do you want some pink and blue windflowers in return?

[versed wadi]

No, I’m good thank you 🙂

[fervent jay]

any advice for my cafe? isn’t looking exactly how I wanted

[unreal sage]

@bitter inlet I think it looks great!

[spare crater]

Does anyone have any cottage core market place ideas I can reference (:

Also love that cafe it’s so cute !

[versed wadi]

@spare crater

[spare crater]

Oh that’s so cute ty

[versed wadi]

I was going to turn the space outside my Ables into a market at one point. I ended up going a different route

[unreal sage]

All my cliffs are straight along the back of the island. I’m struggling to envision bringing the ground level up in any other areas without it looking totally fake. Does that make sense? And I don’t want to try and squeeze everything into the back.

[sleek shard]

Does anyone know how to do the rock square? Can you dm me

Like how to get all of them in a square by breaking them

[verbal obsidian]

Opinions on villager homes on beaches?

[polar dagger]

@verbal obsidian bad

[grand scaffold]

@bitter inlet maybe turn the tables horizontal instead so it looks like you have more space for walking? But it looks great!!

[rigid wedge]

@visual quest I have the same problem. Anyone has any tips on how to figure out how to bring the ground level up and down without it looking weird??

@verbal obsidian I wanted to put houses on the beach but at least on my beach theres like no space

[fierce mesa]

@fervent jay i think the first picture slaps

[verbal obsidian]

The second picture was what I’m doing. I feel like having houses literally on the beach is hard bc it’s so thin of space

@sage gorge

[sage gorge]

@verbal obsidian yeah but lining them up right next to it looks pretty imo

And there you have enough space

The two houses that are actually on the beach I’m moving to the platform above

[woven drift]

Guys does anyone of you have a QR code like this?🥺 i really wanna add a cute forest to my island

[stone hound]

Anybody have over 150 hours invested and have restarted their island? This is my map and I constantly beat myself up over my island. It’s not bad, but it would be so hard to remodel it the way I want to with the current set up. So much time and bells. I’m thinking maybe I should just start fresh?

[solar shuttle]

I need some inspiration for a shopping area!

[sage gorge]

@verbal obsidian here are some more pics if you need some inspo

[rigid wedge]

@stone hound The main thing stopping me from restarting is that I would have to get all the shop upgrades and lose everything in the museum... but if I didnt care about that I would probably restart lol

[hollow dew]

@stone hound i think you'd have more trouble and time wasted restarting since you'd have to go thru a lot of beginner stuff plus your diys would be gone and all your other progress!!

museum too, plus your villagers seem nice so i feel like you'd lose more than gain from restarting

[sage gorge]

@stone hound you also have some really good villagers! And it would be a shame to thanos snap em just like that

[rigid wedge]

Oh man yeah your DIYs and catalog too!!!!

[hollow dew]

what you could do is just "reset" your island using terraforming, like flattening all the land and moving the houses to the beach and starting again

[rigid wedge]

^^^^ That's what I did

It actually wasnt as bad as it seems

[hollow dew]

what i'm doing rn

[quiet peak]

I need building ideas I have so much flat space

[hollow dew]

if you have flat space try making small cliffs and layout paths around them

[silent elk]

Does anyone have tips for starting out with terraforming and organizing my island ?

[lofty plaza]

just realised I hate most of my town it just looks like 3 different random areas put together or something

[agile stag]

no way would i ever reset, im looking for 100% Nook Mile completion

[hollow dew]

@silent elk adopt a theme like "natural", "city", etc. for your whole island or for individual areas and it'll make the idea process a lot easier

[quiet peak]

I made a huge orchard so I can make a farmer's market but it will look so bad because my orchard is far away from the town hall

[hollow dew]

that doesn't mean you can't make a cute market next to the orchard!

[silent elk]

Okay thank you!

@silent elk theres a lot of map layouts floating around on instagram aswell, i got a lot of inspiration from there.

[rigid wedge]

@tight ravine any good accounts or tags to look for??

@terse hearth ^

@terse hearth what hashtags its good for looking them?

Okay! Starting out is a lot more overwhelming than I thought haha

Thoughts on my pic?

Pls

Finally caught meme turtle and couldn't find a curiosity shop sign so I made my own lol

[rigid wedge]

@errant stream I like it think there needs to be more shit around it though

@patent sky I LOVE how you have the bookshelves stacked wow. I may have to copy ...

[scenic blaze]

meme turtle is the most important decoration i have on my island

[terse hearth]

@rigid wedge @proper flume the instagram account coaen_ posts/posted a lot of them!

[errant stream]

Yeah i just got tired of a boring stone arch path line. Im gonna try and make it a bit foresty

[crude venture]

Would anyone be willing to help me get my island to 3 stars? And does anyone know if there’s a specific amount of trees flowers fencing furniture etc required

[proper flume]

Thank you!

[rigid wedge]

@crude venture You just need to move in 9 villagers!

[terse hearth]

no problem, good luck 🙂

[errant stream]

And itll lead into my plaza and such

[crude venture]

@rigid wedge nope I have 10, still at 2 stars

[rigid wedge]

Ah I thought it was just the villagers 😦 NVM Sorry

[silent elk]

@crude venture You need 27 pieces of furniture outside not counting duplicates

[errant stream]

I want the island to be foresty as a whole but when it comes to some things like themed areas itll be a bit different.

[quiet peak]

My island is so unorganized and there is so many lakes in the way

[errant stream]

The paved blocks to the north along the river are where im relocating like 5 houses to

[sleek field]

Somebody please tell me how to make the paths go like this?

[zinc hull]

tbh I’m really tempted to restart my whole island. I’ve done a lot though and have used a lot of bells. I’m just not that happy with how some parts came out

[scenic blaze]

@sleek field custom grass path on the edges

[terse hearth]

@sleek field struggling with that aswell, pretty sure it's just a design

[sleek field]

where can I get them omg??

[meager seal]

does anybody have peach or orange trees i can dig up :/

[sleek field]

@terse hearth ugh me too!!!

[civic anvil]

I feel like I come here a lot and ask this but can someone show me where they put their residents? I want space to make campsites and lounge areas around the island but I feel limited

[scenic blaze]

maybe ask the qr code request channel #custom-design-help🎨

[sleek field]

Good idea. Thanks a bunch!!!!

the curvy roads arent good looking at all if you continue to place them next to each other lmao

@civic anvil I put 3 residents essentially next to each other today

Rest are going to live in and around the woods

[reef cobalt]

My island lay out sucks..

[solar swallow]

I moved all my houses and shops to the beach today, time to lose my mind terraforming

[strong fable]

@zinc hull If I could keep my bells and items I would also restart 😩

[quiet peak]

Mine is worse and I cant do anything about it

[past jetty]

Finally finished with my entrance! Super proud of it.

[patent sky]

Keep rope fence or switch back to iron y/n

[wind wind]

@civic anvil I put all my villagers around my airport and town hall so that the whole island would be open

[terse hearth]

@strong fable you can always leave your bells at a friend's place

[reef cobalt]

My island entrance sucks

[terse hearth]

but the startup sequence is sooo boring

[scenic blaze]

@patent sky iron!!

[terse hearth]

so i wouldnt recommend restarting

[zinc hull]

I don’t really want to necessarily restart my whole island, mainly redo it. I might start slowly changing some parts I don’t like

[quiet peak]

Idk what I can build

[reef cobalt]

How does this look?

[tawny glacier]

@quiet peak wym you can't do anything about it lol

[terse hearth]

@patent sky iron for sure

[versed wadi]

@patent sky barbed wire! It really drills home the “Stay the F off the roses” message

[strong fable]

Is there no way to terraform the grass edges by the beach?

[tawny glacier]

just remove what you dont like

no i dont think so

[patent sky]

Okay I'll switch it back to iron

[vagrant sluice]

Should I line the edges w shrubs or do brick all the way to the edge? Or other suggestions?

[tawny glacier]

hello lulu, my island is coming along nicely, you should tour sometime

[reef cobalt]

Can someone come to my island and tell me if it looks nice or horrible.

Cause honestly idk

[woven drift]

@reef cobalt i have time

[tawny glacier]

you shouldn't base your island off what others like

everyone else has different taste

[rugged ice]

This^

[woven drift]

True

[patent sky]

@tawny glacier yes!! I would love to!

[terse hearth]

just play around and you'll get something you like eventually

trial and error

[tawny glacier]

@patent sky its not finished but id like to show you what i do have done!

What do you guys think? (Not sure if i want a neighbourhood or scattered houses tho)

[woven drift]

We stan

we love a bit of positivity here

@patent sky ❤️ good reminder. I get so overwhelmeds ometimes lol I want to redo it all

[viral spindle]

Any1 know any qr codes for white beach decking ?

[hasty forge]

ik that satanic stuff in ac is kinda overdone but has anyone got any advice on making the area look more run down and abandoned?

[rigid wedge]

quick q -- how many design slots is that?

[woven drift]

Maybe use a mossy stone pattern?

[rigid wedge]

I love the idea 😄

[viral spindle]

Awoo maybe some cardboard box furniture ?

[woven drift]

I build a farm for my favorite villager Rex !

[reef cobalt]

If anyone wants to come see my island, I want others opinions ( it's not finished yet )

[terse hearth]

@hasty forge if it's bottom layer i'd put cedar saplings there, might look cool

[graceful oxide]

not really that fancy but this is my design so far

[hasty forge]

ooo yeah cardboard boxes would be great also i wonder how well drawing up some moss with a transparent background would work to put on top of paths

[scenic blaze]

@hasty forge break up the brick fencing with some stone fencing, also agree with the cardboard box suggestion. any trash items like the trash bags could also work.

[autumn adder]

How are y'all arranging your trees/orchards? I had mine super tightly grouped but that was too dense to see in so I'm trying to think of a better solution

[hasty forge]

@terse hearth where abouts do you think? Im trying to visualise it but cant see it

[reef cobalt]

I feel like My island has more of the natural look..

insted of a whole city.

[versed wadi]

@autumn adder i did that, I got sick of harvesting 3 times in

[scenic blaze]

i didn't do an orchard, my fruit trees are mixed in with the rest of the trees on my island

[reef cobalt]

There is NO WAY i would ever restart again, its SO boring in the start.

[viral spindle]

Would this help aswell awoo it’s like an old glove chair ?

[hasty forge]

hmm yeah ive got one of those too

[terse hearth]

@hasty forge yeah good question lmao, i'd say try around the fences/walls a bit, maybe close to the cliff border

[hasty forge]

I was always thinking about making it double up as a like hangout area

[tight hawk]

any of you guys have really cool front courtyard designs to your houses?

[reef cobalt]

Yall if anyone could get some of those CUTE light up palm trees ill pay like 20K

[silk sleet]

looking for someone to help make me an American flag in roses Dm me

[viral spindle]

Maybe graffiti pattern on floor also

[rigid wedge]

@reef cobalt I could make you some 🙂

I would love to see your island

[quiet peak]

So I used stone paths and iron fencing idk what I can do to make stuff match with the pathway and the fencing I even know to theme of my own island 😅

[hasty forge]

like i was hoping to make it an smt style thing where school kids were just messing around and drew some stuff from occult magazines

[patent sky]

@tight hawk mine is like a homestead lol

[pale thicket]

Does this multicoloured flower patch look appealing?

[sage gorge]

Hey I need some help with this part of my island, it’s right next to the entrance and I don’t know what to do with it, I was gonna turn it into a restaurant but it wasn’t really feeling it so I’m taking it down, any ideas of what I can do with it?

[woven drift]

oo

[tight hawk]

@patent sky haha not a problem Im just trying to look for inspo for my house area atm

looks good tho 🙂

[woven drift]

it looks similar to mine @sage gorge

[primal ginkgo]

@sage gorge maybe do a shop/area for trading? Or fair? I do like the cafe idea I think you just need some fencing and flowers around to bring in more color

[versed wadi]

My DIY recipe dupes are getting out of hand

[vagrant sluice]

@sage gorge code for the decking??

[viral spindle]

Could use trash bag diy also

[signal dew]

I don't have any ideas about entrance to my island

[weary depot]

@dawn cave Can I see pictures of what you're doing over where the villagers live?

[quiet peak]

What are some cool ideas for the shop and able sisters

[primal ginkgo]

@signal dew whats your theme?

[sage gorge]

@primal ginkgo I had some zen fencing around it but I took it down cause it was taking too much space :<

[woven drift]

@signal dew that's my island entrance if you want to get inspo

[primal ginkgo]

@quiet peak Maybe set out some “display” items for purchase

[nova ibex]

Hey, if anyone has a cool cluttered island they would like to share, I just made a subreddit to post it. You can post god awful pictures in there, idc, help me get some posts in there! https://www.reddit.com/r/ClutteredCrossing/

[versed wadi]

@weary depot what’s your theme?

[tiny light]

@sage gorge I think you need some pastel decor like flowers and plants, some greenery really opens an area up

[weary depot]

@versed wadi My island name is Kailani, which means "sea and sky" in Hawaiian. So basically beachy/starry themed.

[tender shore]

can someone help me with my island? i’m stumped

[quiet peak]

Mine doesn't really have a theme

[primal ginkgo]

My theme is cutesy cottage

@tender shore damn you got lucky with your villagers! wish i had apollo

[umbral surge]

House exterior's looking pretty well so far

[primal lotus]

I saw apollo on a mystery island yesteday

@vagrant sluice the code for the wooden planks on the right is MO-8285-8825-5686

[primal lotus]

I got lily instead

[tender shore]

i got him from my amiibo 👉🏻👈🏻

[versed wadi]

@weary depot hmm you could theme them as beach front shops in that case?

[vagrant sluice]

@vagrant sluice the code for the wooden planks on the right is MO-8285-8825-5686
@sage gorge THANK YOU

[primal lotus]

The only villager I care about is Pietro man, I can't find him at all

[zinc hull]

Does anyone have any pictures of their residential areas? I’m moving houses and I need some inspiration. I’m going for a nature theme

[terse hearth]

@tender shore did you unlock terraforming?

[tender shore]

@terse hearth yes! i have both!

[terse hearth]

@primal lotus don't get the hype about him, he's cool tho

[primal lotus]

He's adorable

and a lot of people hate pietro for some reason

[quiet peak]

What would go well with stone pathways and iron fencing

[tender shore]

@quiet peak try white flowers to make it pop

[versed wadi]

@zinc hull I like to find/build cool landscapes that fit the theme of the villagers house.

[terse hearth]

@tender shore in my opinion the island is very divided by the rivers, maybe try and lay them around a little diferent. that gives you a lot of possibilities bc right now the right side is the only side where stuff happens if i'm not mistaken.

[tender shore]

@terse hearth thank you so much for your help!! i really appreciate it

[visual hamlet]

man i used to be happy with villagers being everywhere around the map now i'm thinking all of them together lol

[terse hearth]

no problem, good luck!!

[quiet peak]

Also what would be a good theme for stone paths and iron fencing

[polar iris]

I need opinions
Should i decorate this to make it look more natural or should i turn it into a marketplace since its right next to nooks cranny

[zinc hull]

@versed wadi that’s a good idea! Before I didn’t really have enough room to add things in front of the villagers houses, but I’m moving them for more room

[woven drift]

Any feedback or ideas?

[brazen horizon]

ugh I wanna decorate but I have nothing
no ideas
at all

[quiet peak]

Same

[tender shore]

@brazen horizon i feel u

[atomic elbow]

Someone help me where to put the meuseum

[woven drift]

Maybe on the peninsula between the two rivers?

Just straighten it out a bit

[zenith stag]

Should I line the edges w shrubs or do brick all the way to the edge? Or other suggestions?
@vagrant sluice

Do both~ put a wall brick, then bushes outside it!

[tender shore]

@atomic elbow try the left hand top cliff!

[glacial drum]

anyone have a map of their layout where their villagers arent all in the same neighborhood?

[quiet peak]

Where should I put the last two houses

[woven drift]

Should i do a neighbourhood or scattered?

[versed wadi]

@zinc hull yeah I’m in the process of scattering most of my villagers across my island. Just a handful are getting a dedicated residential district

[terse hearth]

@quiet peak i'd say put them at that lonely house under the river 🙂

[tender shore]

@quiet peak add on to it

[tiny light]

My final edits to my sauna, what do you guys think

[vagrant sluice]

Thoughts?

[quiet peak]

Should I go for a spooky theme

[woven drift]

@tiny light Maybe still some flooring?

@tiny light But i love the rest

[proper lava]

It's slowly taking shape :)

[terse hearth]

i have my villagers divided in 2 "districts" i have a lot of villagers that are old-looking (hamphrey, elise, Ava) and a lot of young looking villagers (flora, nana, huck) so i put those together in that way

[tiny light]

@woven drift so like some wood scattered under some of the areas?

[woven drift]

@tiny light yes I think it would enhance te sauna vibe

[quiet peak]

I might redo my island and make it a spooky theme so I'll make the middle of my island a skull

[vagrant sluice]

Or better w a tree at the end instead?

[tiny light]

@woven drift thanks! I’ll go do that and post the final result

[woven drift]

I wish I had taken a picture of it but I didn’t,, I’ll probably post my own version of it for reference later but my friend created a back alley shop looking area towards the beach front on the northern side of the map if any of you guys want to use that idea for your island :0

[gilded charm]

for sauna space is better sand for floor?

[sage gorge]

@vagrant sluice np!

[woven drift]

@gilded charm i think flooring makes it look more organized

[vast cradle]

I'm making a spaceship launch site but I can't figure out how to make it not look like stuff is just randomly put all over the place

[tawny glacier]

@quiet peak lmao you have tons of space

I feel like it's still too close

@versed wadi can you drop your map?

[versed wadi]

My map is currently trash

[tawny glacier]

stop

[versed wadi]

I’m partway through a huge refurb

[strong fable]

@versed wadi what did you put under your bushes?

[crisp thorn]

Can someone give me some advice on making an entrance? I kinda picked up everything and got rid of all my paths in hope of a restart and now I’m lost

[tawny glacier]

@versed wadi your map is literally amazing

[quiet peak]

Also how can I make a huge skull in the middle of my island

[versed wadi]

Half of it is currently a shell of my old neighbourhood

And a farm without a farmhouse

[quiet peak]

Also is there such thing as graves in acnh

[patent sky]

Yes

[versed wadi]

@quiet peak yes

@quiet peak yes!

It's called western or eastern stone

[dawn cave]

@weary depot please forgive the potato pics, I was lazy

[pearl palm]

Any ideas for what to do with this long narrow space between my neighborhood and river

[versed wadi]

@quiet peak I struggled to find enough spooky items to fill a small graveyard

[tender shore]

@pearl palm try making a playground

[dawn cave]

Took inspiration from McGibbon haha

[crimson pier]

@quiet peak have you seen the horror island video on YouTube should help with your vision

[versed wadi]

@strong fable it’s just a single tile of the hedge fence

@crimson pier I need to search this

[dawn cave]

There are simple wells/water pumps on the right side corners of both levels

[crimson pier]

@versed wadi it’s a great concept

[strong fable]

@versed wadi 🙏🏼

[rigid raven]

May someone invite me to there island for inspo? please dm me :D
aaa plEASE-

[sudden steppe]

People seem to like their houses in the top left, anyone know why?

[patent sky]

I can open for a half hour in like 10 minutes

Ignore the massive mess of flowers on the beach lol

[dawn cave]

I have double south rivers so it seemed like the easiest place to put them to use the narrower sides of my map without a ton of terraforming

[versed wadi]

@patent sky can I come and take some photos?

[timid stream]

Yo

[patent sky]

Yes!!

[woven drift]

Not good at this but here!s an idea for how you could pull off a skull lake

[timid stream]

Does anyone have the code for the path that blends with the natural ramp?

Idk which path to do and it’s killing me

[vast cradle]

Sorry if I'm being a little spammy, but I'm making a spaceship launch site but I can't figure out how to make it not look like stuff is just randomly put all over the place so does anyone have advice?

[dawn cave]

I also wanted a nice even set up so 2 lines of 5 seemed a good fit for top left haha

[leaden orbit]

@timid stream I have a code for it one sec

[timid stream]

I have the tile one down right now and I’m not a fan of it

[quiet peak]

Imma hit the happy island designer

[plain lark]

sorry for the phone picture, but does anyone have ideas for how to fill this space? to the left is a honey farm and upwards is the campsite for reference!

[bold mirage]

@vast cradle Divide it into sections with fences, not too much, but just enough to suggest different areas. (For the rocket, equipment, tourists)

[vast cradle]

ok

[tropic shadow]

People who are putting redd statues in your gardens, can you show pictures please? I'm struggling to make a cool garden

[timid stream]

Little tables and chairs!!! @plain lark

[woven drift]

@plain lark maybe a picnic area, a lake, or thingd like that

[bold mirage]

When in doubt add flowers

[thick cosmos]

@plain lark def a picnic area

[plain lark]

thanks yall!

[sharp stump]

Has anyone done like just a strip of road with bikes/scooter on the side and a car in the middle?

[tender shore]

how should i fix my rivers? they’re taking a lot of space i don’t know what to do with them

[broken star]

Anyone got a city-like island?

[timid stream]

Which path should I close?

[pale thicket]

Flowers in groups of multicolour or singular?

[sage gorge]

@timid stream I would go for bricks or terracota since it matches the fencing

[vagrant haven]

the left part of my island is uneven by 1 block and i am having a mental breakdown over it because it will cost me 600k to move everything 😭😭😭

[pale thicket]

Sending calming thoughts thats heartbreaking 😦

[sharp stump]

the left part of my island is uneven by 1 block and i am having a mental breakdown over it because it will cost me 600k to move everything 😭😭😭
@vagrant haven maybe you can just add something to offset? Can I see what you mean

[sage gorge]

@pale thicket tbh it’s up to you, it’s based on preference but I personally prefer the look of singulars, still depends on the vibe you are going for :0

I personally really enjoy different breeds of flowers all of the same color

[woven drift]

I'm about to start working on my island should I move all the buildings onto the beach and flatten all the hills before I start to redesign?

[primal ginkgo]

How do people pull of those spotted paths with the single tile dirt spots? Mine just looks checkerboard and ugly.

[sage gorge]

@woven drift be careful with moving stuff to the beach since it’s pretty thin and you’ll run out of space pretty fast

[sharp stump]

I'm about to start working on my island should I move all the buildings onto the beach and flatten all the hills before I start to redesign?
@woven drift depends on how you work, I personally like to move everything out of the way and start fresh

[willow elm]

How do i make this nicer i feel like this dosent work for my design

[timid stream]

Oh the fencing will change to correl

[fossil whale]

heres my current island design im terraforming to get. any tips to make it more bearable?

[timid stream]

It’ll be the darker fencing.

[proven minnow]

Hi im trying to decorate my beach rn and i dont have any ideas. My island is cottagecore and natural themed so if anyone has any ideas please let me know!!

[woven drift]

Hey guys, looking for someone to help me out with my island layout from A to Z. I don’t mind starting from scratch. I have a lot of wants but can’t visually see how to execute them. So far I want to do an entrance , museum layout ( 2 stairs and waterfalls ) , shopping district ( 2 levels ) cafe , gym , zen garden ,campsite which would be surrounded on a few sides to create dept as well as a shrine area sorrounded by waterfalls. And finally some creative way to access my secret beech. Plz dm if interested with one or a few or all ideas

[quartz bear]

hey so i'm at 3 stars right now, and isabelle says i need more appealing scenery. anyone know any ways to spruce up nature in general for my island?

[vagrant haven]

@sharp stump i’ve been staring at it for like 30 minutes tryna figure out what to do to maybe even it out a bit but i can’t 😭

there’s houses at every flower pattern

[quartz bear]

i don't see it. what's off?

[patent sky]

@quartz bear she's telling you you need more furniture

[quartz bear]

oh nvm i see it now

[patent sky]

I also don't see anything wrong?

[quartz bear]

tree's too close on the left side

[vagrant haven]

it’s off by one block, the left side has two , while the right side has three blocks

[sharp stump]

@sharp stump i’ve been staring at it for like 30 minutes tryna figure out what to do to maybe even it out a bit but i can’t 😭
@vagrant haven I see that the right side is a bit wider but its honestly not as bad

[quartz bear]

took me too long to notice that

[vast cradle]

could you just make the middle section 1 wider? or would that mess up other stuff

[sage gorge]

@proven minnow I have a spa beach that you might like! I’ll send the pic in a minute

[sharp stump]

could you just make the middle section 1 wider? or would that mess up other stuff
@vast cradle it might mess the water area

[vagrant sluice]

Trying to figure out the symmetry in this game is one of the biggest obstacles

[quartz bear]

yeah @vast cradle is right, make the middle wider, move the right part of the water over 1 block, and expand that middle segment by 1 block

then, yeah, that fountain's out of symmetry, but consider this: TWO fountains

[vagrant haven]

okey i’ll probably test that out! thank you so much 🥺💓💓

[quartz bear]

anyone know a way that i can add furniture to my island but not make it look like i'm just trying to add furniture to my island?

i'm not particularly good with nonfunctional design

[dawn cave]

benches and streetlamps

lifeguard chairs at the beach

garden lamps

[vagrant haven]

i’d suggest putting some sort of pattern on the floor ex: a picnic area or stuff like that!

[sage gorge]

Sadly my streetlamps are a super ugly shade of green rip

[vagrant sluice]

I’m very much an even spacing type of person

[quartz bear]

didn't think about lifeguard chairs, that's really smart. benches & streetlamps i'm gonna add when i get paths, because it'll make more sense. don't know what garden lamps are but i'll check em out

[dawn cave]

haha, mine are green too and I am just... pretending they are black /weep

[vagrant haven]

i have green ones and i like them ;-;

[weary depot]

@dawn cave @versed wadi Can I visit both your islands and get pics for ideas?

[primal ginkgo]

@quartz bear I recommend the log items! They look natural and fit well

[sage gorge]

I bought two white ones so there’s that, the rest I decorated with black garden lamps

And also paper lamps

[dawn cave]

my island is a horrifying hot mess except for the left residential side atm ; ;

[quartz bear]

i did make a "lumber yard" sort of area, with a wooden toolbox, a simple DIY bench (because it's made out of a stump), 2 cedar trees and a wild log bench, but that's the most decorative i've gotten and it's not very

[bold mirage]

For a flower field, should I do pink and white, blue and white, or yellow and orange?

[quartz bear]

just do a huge flex and make a huge field of blue roses

[versed wadi]

@weary depot sorry I’m afk at the minute. There’s some good walk arounds of the finished bits on my Twitter though if that’d help?

[solar anvil]

LF Islands to Tour for ideas! (Later today!)
Themes I’m interested in: city, oriental, resort, or anything with an excellent layout!

[sage gorge]

@proven minnow here!

[bold mirage]

I’m leaning towards pink and white because of white and pink lillies, but I think yellow and orange would look really good especially in autumn.

[vagrant sluice]

For a flower field, should I do pink and white, blue and white, or yellow and orange?
@bold mirage depends what your overall theme? More forestry I’d do blue and whites and orange. More rural and farms I’d do orange yellow and white

[quartz bear]

is there a recipe for streetlamps or am i going to have to spend 1000 miles for every one
oh wait i forgot about nook shopping but still i wonder if there's a recipe

[weary depot]

@versed wadi Sure, found your Twitter through searching your posts here, thanks.

[deft stump]

where would my museum and 2 stores look best?? campsite is staying top left and my house is staying too right

[vagrant haven]

no there’s no recipe :/

[sage gorge]

@quartz bear can’t order them through nook shopping rip only way is through miles

[woven drift]

Does anyone know how to get the irl qr path of the street

[vagrant sluice]

@quartz bear could try finding someone to trade with for bells somewhere here

[cedar sierra]

Anyone have some graveyard references.

[bold mirage]

@vagrant sluice That’s the thing. My island is both, farm and forestry. The nature trail leads to them, but my far stand orchard is on a cliff that overlooks it.

[quartz bear]

that's an oof

[vagrant haven]

anyone have fairy themed forest layouts ?

[versed wadi]

@cedar sierra

[strong scaffold]

@woven drift ask in the path channel usually someone will have it

[cedar sierra]

Ty

[vagrant sluice]

definitely recommend browsing the different channels here I’ve gotten a lot of stuff out of it

[sage gorge]

@vagrant haven my house yard has a whimsical vibe to it, not sure if this is what you are looking for though

[vagrant sluice]

Granted sometimes people ask for way too high of prices for things

[dawn cave]

that is precious

[fast knoll]

Has anyone made a list of different island area ideas? It would be good to have a list for inspiration e.g. park, graveyard, diy area, farm etc

[frail solstice]

Hello ! Could someone share his town layout plan ? I want to start terraforming but I definitely need some inspiration lol

[patent sky]

Park, cafe, hiking trail, graveyard, occult summoning grounds, amusement park, headquarters of the nook cartel, altar to stringfish

[strong scaffold]

@sage gorge those weeds are everything 🥺

[dawn cave]

@fast knoll This is mine so far: Welcome center
Seaside restaurant
Picnic spot
Spa
Zen garden
Bazaar / farmers market
Cafe stall
Witchy shoppe
Community park
Campsite
Farm
Orchard
Waterfall rest-stop
Hilltop overlook
Hidden shrine

[bold mirage]

Can’t forget to have a music area!

[patent sky]

@frail solstice this is terraforming chaotic hell

[sage gorge]

Yeah they are super pretty! They appear at fall @strong scaffold

[fast knoll]

@fast knoll This is mine so far: Welcome center

@dawn cave This is great!

[frail solstice]

Damn this is good !

[grizzled fiber]

I wanna make a graveyard periodt

[dawn cave]

👍

[grizzled fiber]

😂😂

[bold mirage]

I want to be able to have cattails that you can place in water when you terraform.

[dreamy sand]

i should make a list of stuff i wanna include in my island too,,

[strong scaffold]

@sage gorge ahh i cant waitt for them

[vagrant haven]

i really want to just restart my island but it’s gonna be so pricey 😭😭😭

[woven drift]

Does anyone have picnic spot inspo?

[versed wadi]

I’m planning on working on a marsh tonight

[woven drift]

Perhaps @dawn cave

[bold mirage]

Also during autumn I’m totally making a field of those weeds in my orchard because they’d look perfect

[dawn cave]

I don't yet! I'd definitely be interested in some tho 👀

[woven drift]

@dawn cave Oh lol nvm I'm a confused nugget

Hey guys, looking for someone to help me out with my island layout from A to Z. I don’t mind starting from scratch. I have a lot of wants but can’t visually see how to execute them.

[dawn cave]

Hahaha ❤️

[woven drift]

I only made this

[sage gorge]

@strong scaffold Lucky for me I’m southern Hemisphere so I have em all around my island! I wish we could choose the types of weeds though

[echo imp]

My island

[woven drift]

oop

[visual hamlet]

my challenge for the next few days & more is trying to recreate some landscapes / neighborhood from La La Land, wish me luck lol

[echo imp]

Isnt this Beautiful

[autumn raven]

Do u guys know if u can terraform the 3rd layer of ur islands? Ive heard you can and you can’t

[sage gorge]

You can I think, it’s the fourth one you can’t

[dawn cave]

you can make cliffs but you cant climb on them, i believe

[sage gorge]

Ooo yeah I think that’s it

My bad

[sudden steppe]

I just need a fountain for my entrance

[woven drift]

Layer 2
Layer 1
Wait so it's this right?: Ground

[autumn raven]

Ty ty!

[woven drift]

Is there a 3rd layer? above layer 2 ^^

[sage gorge]

I counted the starting floor as a layer my bad

[woven drift]

Oh okay then i get it

I was like: YES! But oh well 🙂

[sage gorge]

Lmao I’m sorry

[wanton ruin]

How do you like this smol garden/park design

[woven drift]

No worries mate

[quartz bear]

is there like a picnic basket?

[quiet peak]

I'm making a skull island

[sudden steppe]

@woven drift that’s how I want my entrance lol

[sage gorge]

@wanton ruin that’s so pretty :000

[woven drift]

Are you guys terraforming with the changing seasons in mind?

[sudden steppe]

Something like that

[woven drift]

Because no one wants a picnic in winter

[sage gorge]

@woven drift I’m trying to but it’s def hard

[woven drift]

@sudden steppe same tho

[dawn cave]

@wanton ruin i love that! aaand i may incorporate into my island if that's ok!

[elder thunder]

Anyone with resident services in E3 can you show me your layout/island entrance? Need some inspo

[sage gorge]

I think I’m redecorating as the seasons change

[zinc hull]

@wanton ruin I really like that! It looks really nice

[woven drift]

@sage gorge I'pp probably change things with the changing seasons

[sage gorge]

Same

[rigid wedge]

Starting to feel happy about my progress on Sugarkiss island boardwalk + beach part 1 ❤️

[quiet peak]

I want to make as big skull in the middle of my island but my residence service is in the way

[wanton ruin]

ty all! 😄

[lucid pike]

@woven drift you dont like sitting out and sipping some hot cocoa while the snow's falling?

[dawn cave]

@woven drift this is what happens re: terraforming on the highest level

[scenic blaze]

@rigid wedge the boardwalk is looking really cute!

[woven drift]

@lucid pike I do! But I feel like the standard picnic cloth is not fitting for winter

[sage gorge]

@quiet peak are you carving the skull with cliffs or with water?

[quiet peak]

Water

[lucid pike]

@woven drift
True, but adapting the area probably, I want to have tons of snow men!

[woven drift]

In winter I would like to have something like a dutch "Koek en zopie kraam". Look it up!

[sage gorge]

@woven drift then you can probably change it for some wood type of mat

That would look good with winter

[woven drift]

So many ideas! Exciting!

[muted tartan]

Having trouble working out where to put the rest of my villagers... I want them each to have their own little area, but I've only come up w three ideas.
I will have Pecan, Coco, Merengue, and Lyman for sure... dont know about the other three slots yet

[mint peak]

Can I see everyones outdoor cafe?! I need some inspiration 😇

[sage gorge]

I don’t have one yet I’ve just been working on tiki bars :’0

I was making one but I gave up half way through

[wanton ruin]

Also that's my current entrance

[quiet peak]

Making the skull outta water will be hard

[sage gorge]

Aa I love the cherry blossom lamps

I have to wait a while to get my hands on those

[dawn cave]

I like the use of the floor lights!

[wanton kernel]

Do any of y’all use the vertical fence?

[woven drift]

I hope that I can have something like this in winter, dont know how to pull this off tho

[dawn cave]

stalls?

[sage gorge]

You can probably make that with some stalls

[woven drift]

Good idea 😂

[lucid pike]

Yes! I wish you could crowd the stalls more tho

[dawn cave]

maybe with the espresso machine/juice jar thing

[sage gorge]

And maybe use the back of some wooden bookshelfs to make the cozy box feeling

[dawn cave]

could use simple panels with a pattern too

[sage gorge]

Oo true

[woven drift]

Ooh inspooo

[sage gorge]

I don’t have panels yet so I’m a bit restricted there

[woven drift]

Well let me save this for winter haha

Almost a year away here in the NH

But for people in the SH, pretty useful

[quiet peak]

I want to make the skull below my house but I want to take up most of the map and It has to be in the middle this is going to be trick with the kind of layout I have

[sage gorge]

We have to go through autumn first tho!

[marble briar]

Hi can someone surround things that I can't change on my island? Thxs

[woven drift]

@sage gorge where you from?

[sage gorge]

@woven drift Latin America

[woven drift]

Nice!

[patent sky]

@marble briar river mouths, resident services

[sage gorge]

I’m a chicken sandwich from the south

[woven drift]

Haha

[grand agate]

@sage gorge hello

[sage gorge]

Hey there

[woven drift]

The only places where it would snow in Latin America are Chile and Argentina I guess. (And higher places)

[marble briar]

@patent sky okay but we can close after the river no?

[sage gorge]

A fellow sandwich I see

[wanton kernel]

Chicken Sandwich?!

[grand agate]

@sage gorge we gotta stick together

[wanton kernel]

Two of my favorite things!

[patent sky]

@marble briar yes

[dawn cave]

popeye's or chik-fil-a?

[wanton kernel]

Popeyes!

[dawn cave]

👀

[marble briar]

Service places that include the shop, museum or just the place? @patent sky

[woven drift]

Cries in european

[sage gorge]

@woven drift haha it snows there but only down at the very south

[patent sky]

@marble briar just the regular place. Town hall, the one with Isabelle

[grand agate]

I’m a chicken sandwich from the south
@sage gorge I'm a blt from the north

[wanton kernel]

Even parts of Central America have Popeyes lol

[marble briar]

Oh okay thanks you @patent sky

[quiet peak]

I also want the skull to look natural so I need to make cliffs with waterfalls going down and they have to connect to the skull this is going to be so complicated

[woven drift]

@sage gorge yep ain't no snow in the atacama

I love Chile haha

(I should shut up, cuz this geography nerd can go wayyy of topic)

[sage gorge]

Lmao

[bronze gust]

Does nyone know if we are able to add items or custom designs to the cliff side walls?

[quartz bear]

is there a way to move rocks, or create new ones that you can mine?

[sage gorge]

Sadly no

[visual hamlet]

anyone would happen to have pics of his museum build upon a cliff ?

[bronze gust]

Ahh man, my idea went into the bin then

[sage gorge]

@quartz bear you can destroy the rocks if you eat fruit

[bronze gust]

Was hoping to make building wall designs on cliff sides

[grand agate]

is there a way to move rocks, or create new ones that you can mine?
@quartz bear you can make rocks if you're looking for decor

[quartz bear]

@sage gorge but i can't recreate them? like if i destroy a rock, that's FOREVER?

[dawn cave]

nah they respawn

[sage gorge]

@visual hamlet I have this pic but I don’t know who the op is

[serene sedge]

WOW that's nice O__O

[tame pilot]

@quartz bear if you pave/put down custom designs, items, or flowers everywhere except where you want the rocks then break the rocks one will spawn per day in the vacant spaces

[visual hamlet]

that's lovely, thanks !

[glacial drum]

How’s my new entrance 😸😸😸

[quartz bear]

ah, that makes sense

[sage gorge]

@serene sedge ikr, I want to make something like that but I don’t know if I have enough space haha

[visual hamlet]

glad the art & statues bring something new into the mix

[vast cradle]

that is such a pain to do though

[wanton kernel]

Is this the sign you can edit? 😮 I wanna draw Redd in the middle!

[turbid stag]

Making an outdoors diner!

[sage gorge]

Still I don’t know if I would make a museum like that since there’s the incline limit and it’s a bit of a waste of stairs

[cedar sierra]

That museum entrance is so beautiful. I wish we didn't have a ramp limit though

[sage gorge]

Yeah

[vast cradle]

wait how many inclines can you have?

[sage gorge]

8

[dreamy sand]

8

[visual hamlet]

yeah it's like 4 stairs gone, oops

[tame pilot]

@quartz bear

[quiet peak]

Ughhhh I dont like my residence service

[vast cradle]

I wish you could move literally everything

[sage gorge]

I wish we could customize the resident services

I hate being stuck with that brick pattern

[jade cliff]

Maybe with a future update

[vagrant sluice]

I loved the tent look tbh

[jade cliff]

Or when they start rolling out the dlc, could possible make everything movable/customisable

[vast cradle]

I also wish you could move multiple buildings in one day

[sage gorge]

Yeah

[reef cobalt]

It do be lookin like some vacation island resort

[sage gorge]

I have to move some houses and it’s going to be a pain

[flat flame]

Yay or nay for the bush fences? (Front and behind)
