island-designs

[zinc hull]

If the resident services could be moved that would make me even more inclined to redo my island

[peak ridge]

😔 water terraforming is so clunky

[quiet peak]

How can I make a huge skull around this residence service

[sage gorge]

@reef cobalt the vacation island resort is the vibe I’m going for lol

Actually I just noticed that I have two themes at the same time oops

[reef cobalt]

@sage gorge my island littarly looked like that

I didnt even try to

[quiet peak]

Should I go for a pirate theme or a spooky theme for the skull

[sage gorge]

Ooo pirate sounds good!

[zinc hull]

I feel like pirate theme would be really cool

[sage gorge]

And it’s pretty original

[quiet peak]

But finding pirate furniture would be hard

[vast cradle]

I wish you could rotate furniture 45 degrees, or even just for 1 tile items

[sage gorge]

Yeah but with the trading channel it can be pretty easy tho!

[wanton ruin]

Some sort of Zen/Bamboo park I'm messing with for a while now

[vast cradle]

I want my camera to be facing diagonally

[sage gorge]

That looks a lot like my bamboo garden!

[brazen quail]

My WIP entrance, is there anything I should change? Like remove some flowers or use fencing instead of the log stakes maybe? First time using levels on my ground level so I'm nervous about expanding too much D:

[vast cradle]

I wanted to do pirate stuff too, but there isn't really any pirate stuff

[shell tiger]

Very cute!

[high sundial]

Working on terraforming

[woven drift]

Should I wait until after I get terraforming to really start designing my island?

[quiet peak]

I might do a different theme on the outside of the skull but In the inside would be pirate themed

[high sundial]

Yes

[peak ridge]

plan stuff out first though

[zinc hull]

I feel like my entrance could have a lot more potential if the residents services building was farther back

[high sundial]

It’s harder to work around it / move everything after you’ve gotten terraforming if you’re planning on doing a lot, it’s a pain, and I learned from my mistake

[glacial drum]

Should I wait until after I get terraforming to really start designing my island?
@woven drift yes id wait

[quiet peak]

Also how would I do terraforming without ruining the skull

[candid hornet]

@cedar sierra wait , there is a limit ?!

[woven drift]

Is there any way I can plan out my layout

[clever turtle]

Any ideas for an entrance??

[woven drift]

Like any software

[peak ridge]

don’t put houses where you would do major terraforming

[cedar sierra]

Yeah you can only have up to about 7 ramps? someone fact check me lol

[solemn prairie]

Im trying to build a zen area thing- can i get some advice?

[dawn cave]

8

[solemn prairie]

I dont know how to do aesthetic stuff lmao

[twin copper]

More bamboo and you can maybe add a zen garden QR code

[candid hornet]

@cedar sierra aw man ._.

[acoustic storm]

its 8 ramps 8 bridges

[twin copper]

on the ground^

[solemn prairie]

Funky ty!

[vast cradle]

@woven drift like this? https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/

[woven drift]

Tysm

[sage gorge]

I need some help with my second residential area, I’m placing both Genji’s and Kabuki’s houses here but I feel like it’s looking kind of empty/something is missing, any ideas?

[vast cradle]

np 🙂

[wanton ruin]

@solemn prairie I've posted mine some posts above, maybe you can find some ideas

[sage gorge]

Also ignore Genji looking super goofy there lol

[cyan cedar]

where do u guys prefer your villagers houses at the top of the map or bottom?

[wanton ruin]

I have several small districts, I'm not a fan of idea of keeping all houses at the same place

[flat flame]

What are the dimensions for Able Sisters?

[quiet peak]

What can be used for pirate furniture

[sage gorge]

I’m making two separate ones since I’m trying to organize them depending on the exterior of the house @wanton ruin

[vast cradle]

I think 6 by 3, but don't hold me to that @flat flame

[scenic blaze]

@flat flame dimensions are pinned to this channel. check the pins

[quiet peak]

There is so much to think about

[flat flame]

@vast cradle @scenic blaze Thanks

[lofty juniper]

lol @ chuckecheese

[scenic blaze]

@quiet peak i'm using champion's banner(? i think) and the sepia colored globe in my little pirate inspired secret beach

[regal finch]

So what exactly is the point of the custom option in island designer? You can still wipe the design away with your foot exactly like if you had just placed it from the custom design menu, AND there is no rounding of corners like with other island designer paths. Literally what is the point of it??

[vast cradle]

wait what? Able sisters does not seem like the same depth as Nooks Cranny

[woven drift]

What are the dimensions for Able Sisters?
@flat flame 5x3

[vast cradle]

its just way faster @regal finch

[scenic blaze]

it's 5x4 not 5x3 check the pinned messages 🙂

[ebon juniper]

@sage gorge where’d you get that stoney path? super cute

[summer depot]

My new Campground using the secret beach

[wanton ruin]

@sage gorge that sounds good, I'm kinda trying to separate them by personalities lol. Like smug and fashion villagers in "elite" district etc. But honestly no one gonna get this by visiting I believe, and it takes a lot of work of replacing the houses

[hollow dew]

@regal finch faster than going into the custom designs app and putting a design down one-by-one

[regal finch]

god, they could at least have made it so you couldn't easily wipe the design away with your foot and made the optional corner rounding possible

missed opportunity, Nintendo

[quiet peak]

What would be a good skull layout literally I'm lost it needs to be a big skull because my residence service is in my way

[strong fable]

I had to grid the whole outline of the island so I can calculate the sizing accurately 😩 kill me now pls 😭

[hollow dew]

@wanton ruin i get what you mean, like having a more natural area for the villagers that are more relaxed. i planned on doing that but it becomes too distracting to have too many diff themed areas

@strong fable i did that too, a pain

[visual hamlet]

I feel like if i'm putting a museum on a high cliff, it's better to put it on the edge right ?

[tiny light]

What do you guys think!! I kinda like it better with the wood

[grand trench]

When I haven’t unlocked terraforming yet but all I have are materials cluttering my island

[hollow dew]

@visual hamlet putting the museum on the edge doesn't look bad since there is space in between where the building "is" and where the tiles are

does that make sense?

[quiet peak]

If someone made a skull island use my layout and somehow managed to find a good place for my residence service I'll pay you 1mil bells

[visual hamlet]

oh yeah gotcha, the actual building does leave a feeling of space

that's perfect then, ty

[hollow dew]

:)

@quiet peak you can't move resident services though

[vagrant sluice]

Keep going w the train station or scrap it???

[manic lantern]

@vagrant sluice where does the train station lead too lol

[hollow dew]

@vagrant sluice keep going, it looks nice so far

it's unique to me, haven't seen a train station yet

[vagrant sluice]

@vagrant sluice where does the train station lead too lol
@manic lantern disappear into the mountain

[strong fable]

@quiet peak just make a skull on the left side 🤷🏻‍♂️

[quiet peak]

@quiet peak you can't move resident services though
@hollow dew I know but somehow made it to where the residence service doesnt mess up the skull

[sage gorge]

@wanton ruin I’m making separate districts since some of my villagers had Japanese type houses and they looked really out of place at the beach deck residential area so I’m moving them to my bamboo garden

[tame pilot]

@vagrant sluice Do you have codes for the tracks? Those are the best I've seen so far

[hollow dew]

@vagrant sluice do you have any rivers running through the tracks?

[tight meadow]

The train station should lead into a giant hole in the ground for shock effect

[zinc hull]

@quiet peak you can go on the website happy island designer and try to plan out what you want to make

[vagrant sluice]

@vagrant sluice do you have any rivers running through the tracks?
@hollow dew I do not, should I?

[quiet peak]

I'm not good at happy island designer

[hollow dew]

i was asking because i imagine they'd look nice but idk how they would work

you'd probably have to make land bridges crossing the rivers and keep the tracks going

doesn't look bad in my head, but you know animal crossing is restrictive

[hollow dew]

@vagrant sluice what about the dirt on the sides?

[tame pilot]

@vagrant sluice fantastic ty

[hollow dew]

also that works out quite well with the resident services, since it looks almost like a train station

[hollow dew]

might steal your idea lol

[vagrant sluice]

So the general consensus is to keep the train tracks 😂😂

[woven drift]

Can someone help me with my island I willing to pay 2 mills bells if you help me to degsin my island ❤

[hollow dew]

yes because they look dope, also a acnl throwback

[tame pilot]

@vagrant sluice you could put down a second house to use as the actual station

[bitter inlet]

yesterday vs today

[versed wadi]

Can i get a villager to remove their door decoration?

[fringe carbon]

tada

[scenic blaze]

@versed wadi give them a new one, that's the only way i know

[fringe carbon]

my island map

[woven drift]

@woven drift yes talk to nook

[clear yacht]

is Brewster ever going to have his own shop ?

[hollow dew]

@clear yacht i believe it was datamined that there will be a cafe in the museum?

[tame pilot]

This is my map currently

[woven drift]

Wait you can place bridges 🌉 n an angel?

[hollow dew]

other datamines have come true with redd and the museum upgrade, so brewster will likely arrive sometime

[patent sky]

Brewster is almost always in the museum

[versed wadi]

@versed wadi are you still doing changes? :p
@velvet idol I will be for at least a couple of weeks to finish my current plans

[viral coral]

anyone know how big the museum is

[hollow dew]

@woven drift diagonally, yes. 4 tiles wide diagonal

[raven kindle]

What do you think about the neighborhood? Is that good? I need suggestions

[hollow dew]

@viral coral pins, 7x4

[tame pilot]

@viral coral I believe it's 4x7

[viral coral]

@hollow dew thanks

[woven drift]

Hmm.... first time I’m seeing that

[raven kindle]

Is it bad?

[tame pilot]

@woven drift most ppl don't do angled bridge bc you can't angle paths

[raven kindle]

I don't know where can I put the neighborhood

[hollow dew]

@raven kindle i suggest spacing out your houses just a little more to make room for each villager's yard to have stuff

[versed wadi]

oooh can anyone make the fossil door decoration?

[hollow dew]

right now it leaves a lot of room open and empty, which you could be using

@woven drift most ppl don't do angled bridge bc you can't angle paths
@tame pilot true, i've only seen angled bridges used with custom paths

[lucid pike]

@raven kindle
I think the neighborhood layout can work, it's just a little tough sometimes. I put a plaza to break up the houses a little bit (5 on each side)

[scenic blaze]

@versed wadi it takes an unassessed fossil and i don't have any atm but i can craft them

[woven drift]

Can someone help me with degsin my island I willing Pay up to 2 million bells ?

[zinc hull]

@raven kindle I think it depends on how much room you want between houses. I had mine close like that but didn’t like it because the houses behind had no room for decorations. But if you are going for a close together look I would do it!

[clear yacht]

does anyone know if there’ll be more furniture added at a later date??? I’m guessing yes because there seems to be so many types of furniture missing that was in New Leaf but then again I was really late to join the animal crossing community so idk

[versed wadi]

I can bring you one, or send you one in the post or you can pick one up?

whatever works best for you

[lucid pike]

@raven kindle trick is to not make it feel too gridded, maybe not having all of the up/down paths?

[scenic blaze]

you can come visit if you want, bearing in mind that i just ripped out a river

[versed wadi]

yes please 🙂

[fallen rune]

every time i click on this i realize how sh*t my island is and i want to start all over 😭

[inner wadi]

oh

[muted tartan]

Can I get suggestions on what spots would be good for houses? My remaining villagers to place are Merengue, Tia, and Pecan for sure

[grand trench]

@clear yacht they should be adding more furniture through the months. I know there’s a wedding set that comes out I think June 1 too

[low vale]

@muted tartan one of those two open spaces by the museum

[quiet peak]

I think imma going to flatten my island first then work on the skull

[quartz bear]

make one eye be the tallest cliff EVER, like skull lake

[muted tartan]

I think i want to make a greenhouse-like area below the museum... Maybe I can add a bit of terrain to break up the chunk to the left/above it

[quartz bear]

if no one here knows what im talking about im gonna be disappointed

[muted tartan]

i know what you mean, paj

[quartz bear]

thank you

[tight hawk]

do hedges count as fencing

[clear yacht]

breath of the wild reference ??

[quartz bear]

yes

[clear yacht]

you get hearts for that

[quartz bear]

ooh, isabelle's advice to me changed. now i have to get more shops. i have nook's cranny, museum, painting ship, and campground. is all that's left to get just the able sister's shop?

[muted tartan]

yeah you need to get able

[quartz bear]

is there anything else i can get to fulfill this?

[steel sandal]

Anyone got any ideas of what could be put on the big rocks on the beach ?

[muted tartan]

not that im aware of

[zinc hull]

@quartz bear are you working on getting 3 stars?

[muted tartan]

i put a solar panel on one of mine, alvarie

[storm bluff]

@steel sandal the outdoor bath looks really nice on the rocks in my opinion. also a lighthouse!

[woven drift]

should i swap my music area (top left) with my picnic area (above campsite)?

[tame tusk]

anyone have orchid inspo?

[bold mirage]

@steel sandal I put a cafe on one and a jazz setup on the big one on at the back of my island

[quartz bear]

@zinc hull i already have three stars, i'm really just looking to get it to as best i can

[muted tartan]

youll need able to get 5 stars

[quartz bear]

also, feels like decorating my island to a point where it's actually nice is like, a colossal task

[zinc hull]

ohh okay !

[rain swan]

This is my future map im working towards :))

[static dirge]

Just a lil update on it, this is my slope garden entrance thingy in winter yay

[gritty sentinel]

Anyone with a heavily forested/natural theme throughout their island able to post some images? No terraforming for me yet but looking for some inspo...

[quiet peak]

I'm making a skull island its gonna be pirate themed

[solar swallow]

Im terraforming my island now and I have so much flowers and furniture in the way ugh

[dreamy cliff]

Is it possible to move my bridge 2 steps up so it align with my path?
Will that be too close to the house and not let me

[woven drift]

should i swap my picnic area (bottom circle) with my music area (top circle)?

[leaden orbit]

Anyone know the size of the campsite? How many square by square?

[woven drift]

If I knock out the land below a house will it lower to the level below it

i believe it’s 4x4

[inner wadi]

its 2 by 3 i think

[storm bluff]

@woven drift i personally like having the music area near resident services bc there's a better chance of havingg your villagers play the instruments haha. plus i think the picnic area would have a nice view if you put it on the rocks at the top

[hollow dew]

@dreamy cliff i think you would be able to, since it's 4x4

[woven drift]

i’m prolly wrong LOL

@storm bluff thank you for the advice! much appreciated

[zinc hull]

The dimensions of all building and such are in pins!

[quasi eagle]

so i got a little karaoke area on the left side of plaza. any suggestions on what is should put on right side?

[woven drift]

you can’t move the bridge without buying a new one altogether

[storm bluff]

@quasi eagle maybe a table and chairs for a place to eat? since the vending machines are on that side

[quasi eagle]

alright! ty

[dreamy cliff]

Awesome, thanks @hollow dew !
I’m just afraid some how the game thinks it’s too close to the house and not let me lol

[hollow dew]

@quasi eagle maybe since you're already got vending machines try a bus stop with seats?

[dreamy cliff]

@woven drift yeah I have to destroy this one first

That’s why I don’t want to do it before asking because that’s like 400k down the drain lol

[quasi eagle]

bus stop? like with an OK motors sign maybe? O:

[hollow dew]

yeah! or one of those plaza clocks (idk what they're called)

telephone box perhaps

[inner wadi]

park clocks and benches

[quasi eagle]

i have telephone box on other side

[hollow dew]

^^

[quasi eagle]

might do that! ty!

[clever turtle]

So I've been looking at this for minutes now and idk if there's anything I can make out of it or make something else. Any ideas?

[quiet peak]

Anyone have any pirate theme ideas

[inner wadi]

@clever turtle you could make it a diner area

[hallow ember]

@clever turtle could change the would flooring to dirt/sand and make a picnic area?

[dreamy mirage]

I want to build an incline diagonally. Idk if that is possibpe. Plz halp

[unreal rose]

Hi everyone my girlfriend is wanting to show her island off in and island tour would anyone like to come see her island?

[hallow ember]

Wood* lol

[inner wadi]

i would i guess

[rustic current]

Dno what kind of chairs and tables to have for a tiki bar any help guys

[quiet peak]

@scenic blaze can I see a pic of your pirate garden

[scenic blaze]

@quiet peak one sec

[quiet peak]

K

[short relic]

Me or

[scenic blaze]

@quiet peak it’s tiny

[quiet peak]

Ah

[short relic]

Amazing

[quiet peak]

I might copy you a bit put a couple stalls for a market and a bunch of barrels

[scenic blaze]

yeah there's a barrel hiding behind the palm

[scenic blaze]

idk what my plans are for the secret beach yet so i haven't done any major terraforming around it. i might want to expand it but it's not really in my island theme so idk yet

[quiet peak]

Ah okay

[rain notch]

Dig site I put together yesterday 🥰

[short relic]

Can someone give me oranges and cherries

[woven drift]

Working on the walkways up to the village. 😅 any ideas to make this look better would be great! (I’m still working on a few terraforming areas, so excuse the lack of any flowers or trees. )

[short relic]

How do you guys have the hedges that go like in order like they all like connect to each other cuz I cannot find it

[quiet peak]

I wish you can make beaches because I would put it at the end of the skull for coconuts

[left wigeon]

does anyone have any outdoor library/cafe inspo

[short relic]

I didn't even try it

[rain notch]

@short relic it’s a fence diy you get from tom nook for participating in nature day events

[balmy hamlet]

and they need weeds so dont sell them\

[short relic]

I'm just keep my days to 1999 by and get some of them weeds

[rain notch]

Yeah I’d hang on to a few weed stacks if you want hedges

[short relic]

I literally cannot make my Island from a 3-star to a five-star

[languid jungle]

My bakery for merengue. Missing a few items (wedding cake and another mom cake) but I still like how it turned out.

[balmy hamlet]

complete one of the nature day nook miles challenges and then tom nook will give you the hedge recipe

[turbid ore]

Some dm I need help with decorating my island

[woven drift]

Hi I need to someone that degsin my island layout I willing to pay 1.5 million and 2 nmt and 2 gold need something cool and simple

[short relic]

Anyone want to DM me and play

[gray gate]

Can’t tell if I like these flowers together. Opinions?

[chilly juniper]

I usually do pansies with windflowers they are kind similar

[gray gate]

That’s a good thought @chilly juniper

[shadow locust]

@rain notch what’s that shelf thing you got in your digsite?

[rose apex]

Dude im so stuck with the museum area pathing

[chilly juniper]

I need ideas for the front area of my house can anyone help with pics ?

[neon schooner]

Anyone need a weeding service? I’ll do it for free!

[mystic void]

this look good rn the tents are iteam marks

[chilly juniper]

@gray gate here’s an example

[gray gate]

Ooo nice

[rain notch]

@shadow locust I think it’s just called a tool shelf let me check

[neon schooner]

Anyone need a weeding service? I’ll do it for free as long as I can keep the weeds! Dm me if Interested.

[marble briar]

A little view of my future island I ll make individual sketch for each section

[lucid shale]

idk where to put this exactly but what flowers do you guys think look best with white cosmos?

[lavish shell]

Question, Does anyone know what the difference is between a lake and a river? I made a large lake and then put in a fishing pier in the middle, doing this turned it into a river and it's frustrating.

[rose apex]

@rain notch ive done an archelogical digging site as well a week and a half ago! Yours look lovly,personally i made it a bit bigger and added the camp site in and im try to find a tool shelf for 2 weeks lmao

[timber basalt]

i’ve been working on my layout a lot today i think my map looks nice so far 🥰🥰 i can’t believe i still haven’t decorated like half my island tho

[rustic current]

What do people think

[rain notch]

@shadow locust I think it’s just called a tool shelf let me check
It’s a tool shelf in white

[shadow locust]

@rain notch thanks a lot ❤️ will be looking for that

[rose apex]

@shadow locust tell me if you find one im looking for one for a long time

[chilly juniper]

@lavish shell there’s waterfalls rivers and ponds a pond is a circle of water that doesn’t connect to a waterfall a river is a long body of water that connects to a waterfall there’s also the area above a waterfall that may be called a lake I’m not sure

[lucid shale]

wrong @ 😭

[cobalt patrol]

😐

[chilly juniper]

Lmao

[lucid shale]

also idk if thats 100% accurate to how the game classifies it, i made a large moon lake thats completely separated from my rivers and the game spawns river fish in it rather than pond fish 😳

[lavish shell]

That's my issue

[barren swift]

would anyone mind coming to my island to help water my flowers?

[woven drift]

When you guys designed your islands, did you lay down the pathing and landmarks first then move everything accordingly? Or did you take another approach

[balmy hamlet]

i layed down my rivers first @woven drift

[lucid shale]

it could be based on size, my smaller heart ponds spawn pond fish normally

[woven drift]

I’m starting the transition from total randomly placed mess to coordinated-looking island civilization

[scenic blaze]

afaik, any body of water that either 1) contains a waterfall or 2) connects to a river mouth is considered a river, and everything else is a pond

[cobalt patrol]

@woven drift i just winged it honestly,,, but for stuff on cliffs i built in the shape of the building first then expanded

[woven drift]

Okay, cool! Good to know

[lavish shell]

As I stated above, I made a big lake and then put in a pier to fish that run to the center, it then turned it in to a river as I was catching only river fish.

[woven drift]

I KNOW THIS ISN'T ISLAND BUT IT'S TOO CUTE

[tawny glacier]

dat do be pretty cute

[lucid shale]

classifies this as a river 🤷‍♀️ no waterfalls, not connected to rivers

[balmy nexus]

I changed my fairy fountain!

[lucid pike]

@woven drift I've been doing area by area kind of laying out what I want for each area but over all winging it

[marble portal]

Does anyone know if I override a custom design, it'll still stay on my island? One item custom design I'm doing for the 'lifted' look is a lot :\ I don't have enough space for it

[woven drift]

it won't

[lucid pike]

@lucid shalemaybe because it was a circle and then it wasnt?

[tawny glacier]

@marble portal no it will replace it

[ebon carbon]

sadly it just gets replaced by whatever you overrode it with TT

[marble portal]

Damn lol welp. Thanks!

[woven drift]

How’s part of my graveyard look with lucky as the gravedigger

[rose apex]

@woven drift i just dont plan ahead lmao

[languid skiff]

Anyone have any idea why these trees won’t grow? Is it the paths?

[woven drift]

I feel that, I sorta just wing everything I do

[brisk sail]

Does anyone wanna visit my island? i want some feedback on the residential area i finished

[lucid pike]

@languid skiff the baby trees need 2 squares all around to grow

[wheat tree]

@languid skiff the trees are to close together

[languid skiff]

@lucid pike @wheat tree thank you!

[marble briar]

I have the same problem @languid skiff

[lucid pike]

I made a little nursery space for my fruit trees, once they grow up they get moved to the orchard one block apart

[woven drift]

Where do people get signs from? E.g. cafe/market signs

[languid skiff]

I made a little nursery space for my fruit trees, once they grow up they get moved to the orchard one block apart
@lucid pike that’s smart! thank you!

[queen bridge]

@lucid shale love that omg can i steal it

[lucid pike]

@woven drift Most are using custom patterns, there should be a bunch in the misc patterns channel

[lucid shale]

@queen bridge lmao go ahead

[vast lake]

am about to start this renovation, is it ready or should i put more work into it lol

[tawny glacier]

@vast lake no garden?

[woven drift]

Hi, dunno what to put right here, does sb have an Idea?

[tawny glacier]

@vast lake i think some of the pathways are weirdly curved, it wastes alot of space

[vast lake]

i want to put it along the empty patches @tawny glacier

oh and the idea was to make a forest lol

[tawny glacier]

@vast lake all that space could be used alot more effectively

oh

[shell tiger]

Have been working on this lil community garden thing, not sure about the kind of benches yet

[vast lake]

am open to more effective ways of implementing the forest

[heavy rune]

It's mostly done, but I still plan on adding more greenery on the cliffs at some point. Does it look alright?

[tawny glacier]

@heavy rune what is that big sign?

it looks very nice

[heavy rune]

It's two simple panels.

[tawny glacier]

ohhhh

[heavy rune]

Thank you!

[tawny glacier]

didnt know that those could be customized

[tame thunder]

yeah you just posted that

[tawny glacier]

dude why do you keep spamming that

we saw it like 4 times

[woven drift]

I did it the edited version -.-

[tawny glacier]

its cute

[woven drift]

And it was 2 times btw, I'm not "spamming" please think before you type

[tame thunder]

you're still burying other work

[woven drift]

uhm no?

[scenic blaze]

@heavy rune you did a great job with these cliffs!

[woven drift]

people can still see it

[heavy rune]

Thank you!

And guys, lets not argue.

[timber basalt]

i’ve been working on my island 🥰

[full marten]

so cute!

[scenic blaze]

I’m finally done with the 👏🏼 damn 👏🏼 water 👏🏼 tool 👏🏼

[timber basalt]

thank you 🥰🥰

[shell tiger]

@scenic blaze Oooo looking good! looks very natural, I love it

[scenic blaze]

thank you! i wish i didn't have a spooky ghost face in the left one but i'm ignoring it out of my unwillingness to figure out how to fix it

[cursive wren]

do any of you keep pinterest boards of your inspo? I feel bad constantly asking for inspo images here...... but just in case —— does anyone wanna share how they designed the area around the shop/tailors?

[clear yacht]

^ I don’t use pinterest very often so I don’t really know how it works but I use Pinterest for inspo too

[tawny glacier]

dont worry about it @cursive wren

everyone asks for inspo when they need it

[green token]

The start of my new island entrance

[cursive wren]

idk i feel kind of bad treating this channel like a service

[upbeat raptor]

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1MU_NuHhTyV5KxvRWFQW-RNKLwrmNlv87V5ksGhY-Pn8/edit?usp=sharing

[obtuse knot]

I need a idea for the entrance

[meager seal]

how did you place the palm trees

[tawny glacier]

sand path

[shell tiger]

@green token Very cute!

[fallen cargo]

I didn't finish what I wanted to do with my island and now I'm tearing everything down for my new idea, but getting rid of flowers takes so long

[clear yacht]

maybe it’s just me but I feel like there’s a lack of furniture for decorating outdoors. there’s a lot of furniture but I feel like all you can really do is slap a chair and a table outside of a store lol... maybe im just not inspired

[tawny glacier]

one sand path and you can plant a palm tree on it @meager seal

[meager seal]

oh

[woven drift]

Anyone have a city skyscraper wallpaper? Will Tip!

[shell tiger]

@clear yacht , and pillows and books, lamps, stones, etc

[spice wagon]

anyone else island have their town hall near the airport? if so how did you deal with the layout? I also have 2 south exits so i kinda cut that area off and have it as a shopping area, and by that i mean nooks and ables on the opposite side >.> but all this data mine of cafe and museum shop and not knowing if theyll be buildings is making me redo my whole darn island D: and just feeling zero inspo for it 😦

[fallen cargo]

@woven drift I got you one

I think... what does it look like again?

[scenic blaze]

wrong channel for trading wallpapers yall

[fallen cargo]

True. Bloo, just DM me if you want to trade it and we'll leave it at that

Please don't crucify me

[timber basalt]

@clear yacht you can make “indoor” furniture look good outside i feel like if you make like designated areas you know like i did an outdoor diner and a library

[shell tiger]

@spice wagon how close is it to the airport?

[timber basalt]

@spice wagon i sent my layout up a bit i had the same situation! check it out if u wanna (:

[spice wagon]

i only have my day 1 photo on laptop rip

i moved stuff around im just lazy to undock the switch so im probs just gonna redo it all atm

[shell tiger]

Mine is kinda close too but slightly different from yours @spice wagon

[fallen junco]

@spice wagon sounds like we have a similar layout

[scenic blaze]

@spice wagon our airport and res services location are very similar

[spice wagon]

you people are amazing rn

[short oracle]

Anyone got any good islands with two south water mouths?

[woven drift]

Does anyone have the link to/picture of that 12 month clock thing that went viral on reddit 2-ish weeks ago? Where they laid out a clock where you could place 1 item of that month on a stone stool. Would appreciate it! Please @ me or DM me if you have it.

[fallen junco]

This is what I ended up doing

[clear yacht]

@scenic blaze can you do a tour of your island? it looks so cool

[scenic blaze]

@spice wagon this is what mine looks like if you're looking at my map like wtf https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1254063189702004737

mothra (@sedumisland)

My complete foresty airport entrance. #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch

Twitter

[arctic agate]

Can some people send their entrances

[lucid pike]

@short oracle this is what mine looks like so far, am winging it tho

[scenic blaze]

@clear yacht aww ty! it's very much under construction right now but once i get it in a place where i'm happy with it i def wanna open for tours!

[lucid pike]

I embraced the narrow sides and just seeing where that takes me

[spice wagon]

ive been sitting staring at the island designer for like 3 hours now and just planned my "star gazing" area ahahahaa

[dim dune]

Should i keep it like it is or make a neighborhood where I’ve circled in red? I don’t know what to do, but if I make a neighborhood I’ll have room for more stuff. Any opinions?

[scenic blaze]

@dim dune i find that neighborhoods are good for modern, more urban or suburban layouts. scattering them or clumping them in small clumps like you did are good for more natural layouts

[cursive wren]

@spice wagon i found it easier to make a list of everything i want in my island, and then making huge blocks on a paper of where i want things to be/where they'll make sense, and THEN took it to island designer

[scenic blaze]

i eventually want to scatter mine again but it's last on my list

[vast lake]

hopefully this is an improvement 'F' is for the flower-field

[woven drift]

@dim dune Does your island have more of a man-made feel? I'd go for symmetry/a neighborhood. ^^

[spare crater]

Anyone have any cute cottage coreish outdoor library’s I can reference

[scenic blaze]

@vast lake it looks good! love the moon shape

[vast lake]

prob will take all afternoon in an ideal world lol

[scenic blaze]

@vast lake the only thing i'd suggest is that some fish only appear on rivers that are on the second or third level, and all your rivers are on level 1

[vast lake]

oh u right thanks for that!

[dim dune]

I guess it’s more of a man made feel? It does have some suburban areas though, although it’s only very close to the plaza

[summer smelt]

Looking for ideas on what to do with this space. Willing to move the flowers and trees (I just have them laid out for cross breading right now). Thanks!

[tawny glacier]

hey guys im kinda blanking on what to put here, any ideas?

[glacial shoal]

Does anyone have any tips on what I can do? I feel like I messed myself up by putting houses to close to the river mouths, and even though I have empty space, most of my ideas feel like they are still taking up too much space.

[coral blade]

Today I hit 355hrs plus.. .is that too many renovations.?

[scenic blaze]

@tawny glacier maybe a couple of the poolside beds and a radio?

[hybrid lantern]

can i have thoughts on this little town center place 🥺

[olive orchid]

@coral blade I’ve hit 280 😭 and I’m not doneee

[hybrid lantern]

still needs 2 more light poles but yeah

[tawny glacier]

what are the poolside beds?

i dont think ive seen them before

[woven drift]

@spare crater Mine isn't very cottage core but it is outdoors haha.

[spare crater]

It’s adorable ! (: thank you so much !

[marble portal]

Oh my god I love it!!

[scenic blaze]

@glacial shoal if you want to clear some space, the easiest way to let yourself have some breathing room is to move houses down to the beach temporarily. you can't terraform the beach so they won't really be in the way, and you can move them back once you've sorted out your rivers!

[spare crater]

I’m having so much trouble making my outdoor library

I wanna go with a white theme but also keep it kinda cottage core ;((

[marble portal]

I love how you added little bugs as deco too

[scenic blaze]

@tawny glacier

[coral blade]

@olive orchid I'm still going too so I wish you all the luck! I don't think it ever ends

[tawny glacier]

@scenic blaze oh ok gotcha

[rigid wedge]

My resort entrance!!! The lighting on my island is so pretty and pink right now I had to take a picture even tho Marshal is photo bombing me 💕💖

[tawny glacier]

are they a DIY or furniture

[glacial shoal]

@glacial shoal if you want to clear some space, the easiest way to let yourself have some breathing room is to move houses down to the beach temporarily. you can't terraform the beach so they won't really be in the way, and you can move them back once you've sorted out your rivers!
@scenic blaze thank you for the advice, the more I analyze my map, I think that is what I’ll do. It’s going to be costly, but hopefully worth it.

[spare crater]

@rigid wedge that’s sooooo cute

[woven drift]

@spare crater @marble portal Thank you both so much! 😊 And do you have anything put down yet .mii? I'd love be happy to take a look. c:

[olive orchid]

@coral blade this clocked so many hours

[spare crater]

I don’t have anything put down yet but I have 2 white book cases and a grey fireplace

I wanna base around those items

[rigid wedge]

@spare crater thank you so much!

[woven drift]

@spare crater Cute!! Do you have the log chair/sofa DIYs?

[spare crater]

@woven drift I do !!

[woven drift]

@spare crater That would all go so well together! I remember seeing a library on reddit with similar items. Let me see if I can track it down. ^^

[spare crater]

That would be a lot of help thank you sm @woven drift

[rigid wedge]

I saw this in an island tour

Not super cottage but I liked how they stacked the shelf under the cliff!

[spare crater]

Oh wow that’s a really good idea too @rigid wedge

Im gonna look in my catalog and order some things to see if they’d fit the theme

[vagrant sluice]

Train station update

[modest bridge]

that’s so cute

[vast cradle]

TIL you can place stuff on top of tool shelves

[proven minnow]

hey if anyone has any ideas for a cottage/natural themed island please let me know. im looking for ideas form my beach specifically

[silent elk]

Can you move multiple buildings in one day ?

[modest bridge]

nope

[humble flume]

@silent elk no, just 1

[silent elk]

Alright thank you

[humble flume]

Anyone have their island open to explore a little? Trying to get some beach ideas

[exotic cloud]

I made this concert stage! It’s a bit cluttered and a few things need to be added but I think it’s coming along good! 🙂

[tawny glacier]

GUYS I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHY REDD ISNT COMING TO MY ISLAND

[patent sky]

Wait why I am also having this issue

[brazen quail]

why is he not showing up

[tawny glacier]

its because i dont have 60 things in the museum

[brazen quail]

oop

[patent sky]

Oh I've seen him once and then never again

[tawny glacier]

i restarted my island a while ago and never realized my museum was empty asf

i would have sat in purgatory endlessly waiting for him to come had i not looked that up

[balmy hamlet]

@woven drift why did u block me?

[vast cradle]

I have all fossils but theres no reward 😦

[cedar sierra]

Man I really wanted to do a natural island look but the neon lights and otherwise urban looking items are too good to not use.

[bold mirage]

The satisfaction is the reward 🙂

[patent sky]

Oh speak of the devil I went to current date and redd is here

[exotic cloud]

Has anyone got any ideas on show to improve my diner? I still need to add some chairs and a few tables plus a jukebox... also thinking bout putting a checker board floor.

[tawny glacier]

@patent sky just gotta rub it in dont you

rubby rubby rub

[bold mirage]

More counters and stuff

[proven minnow]

can anyone give me cute beach ideas for my island. my coast is so empty!!

[idle niche]

i like brick fence around my diner area

[exotic cloud]

I was gonna do that

[tawny glacier]

first person to DM me gets a free hyacinth lamp DIY(WINNER)

[bold mirage]

And lights too, maybe some plants but don’t overdo it

[vast cradle]

@exotic cloud I think maybe some of the corner benches could be good

[brisk sail]

@proven minnow i put 🗿 statues all on my left side

[exotic cloud]

@vast cradle I was thinking that but there aren’t any red ones I could find

[vast cradle]

oh, I thought there were, I must have gotten mixed up

[exotic cloud]

It’s like the only color they don’t have

Kinda annoying

[vast cradle]

oof

[languid trench]

@exotic cloud i have a jukebox you can catalog & the blue & pink booths & a pink counter chair

[exotic cloud]

@languid trench I appreciate that! But I’m more going for red! 🙂 I had a jukebox but someone offered me 10 nmt for it! Got another one coming in tomorrow! 🙂

[vast cradle]

@exotic cloud also maybe you could dishes or something on the tables

[exotic cloud]

I like that idea actually!

[languid trench]

@exotic cloud awesome make sure to share a pic when you’re done!☺️

[exotic cloud]

Haha I will 😁

[strange herald]

A red cooler

[lost prism]

I like me market place but something about it doesn’t look right... any ideas that can help me haha

[woven drift]

question, can you make the beach go onto the island more? also another, can we change river ports?

[scenic blaze]

if anyone is interested in the b&a of my big water tool project

[exotic cloud]

@lost prism I feel like it needs a bit more room maybe? Looks a bit tight.

[woven drift]

@woven drift Both are a no sadly!

aww! ok thank you

[languid trench]

i’m no longer satisfied with my island but i worked so hard idk what to do😭😭

[gray wolf]

Am I the only one who literally can't get Redd after that initial time he visits

[frosty rune]

Hey! a couple days ago i saw a video here that had the able sisters & nooks cranny up on a cliff, right behind the town hall with slopes going up on either side. i cant seem to find it anymore! if anyone knows which video im talking about would you mind sending it to me?

[vast cradle]

@gray wolf do you have 60 things in your museum?

[woven drift]

@lost prism I'd suggest more stalls with more themes!

[gray wolf]

@vast cradle I assume so because I've caught pretty much every Bug and Fish that you can obtain so far

[vast cradle]

oh then idk

[gray wolf]

At least the ones in March and April

[woven drift]

@gray wolf Sadly he's not on any kind of reappearance schedule so there's no guarantee when you'll see him next. I also haven't seen him since the first time!

[gray wolf]

How often is he supposed to show up

damn

[proven minnow]

ive seen him 3 times already!

[gray wolf]

Its gunna take forever to get all the artwork since you can only get one per day right?

[visual hamlet]

how guys prefer making the shops in opposite directions or everything together ?

[topaz pivot]

Yeah but thats the point, its supposed to take forevee

[pale cosmos]

No

[gray wolf]

Spread out imo

[woven drift]

@gray wolf Unless you're time skipping, it'll be a long journey haha.

[gray wolf]

GOLD ROSES

[woven drift]

@normal oyster The only place I have them is a small flower garden with every flower/hybrid in the game.

[normal oyster]

[gray wolf]

I put all my different colors in front of Nooks Cranny with a vibrant colors the shop gives off it looks nice

[gray wolf]

[normal oyster]

@frank raft saaaaame

[woven drift]

@woven drift What's the theme of your island? What types of setups do you already have?

[visual hamlet]

does it sound stupid to use bridges as a transition for areas, with different fencings, road tiles, etc

[dapper ginkgo]

@visual hamlet that sounds awesome

[wheat nacelle]

2 hours later tinkerbell

[gusty path]

Any suggestions what i can put in that corner? Brick oven doesn’t fit so I need something else :’)

[worthy tendon]

thats so good melissa!

[bronze raven]

Any ideas for a foresty-gothic island? Looking for inspiration

[hollow horizon]

@gusty path jukebox!

[visual hamlet]

cool, feel like adding variety to the town

[vast cradle]

@gusty path maybe a red gas range or whatever its called

[woven drift]

@woven drift i don’t really have a theme but i have a dyno dig, diner, shopping area, campsite, fountain, golf course, and neighborhood

and a garden^^

[solemn kestrel]

Could someone visit my town and give me advice

[exotic cloud]

What should I do over here? Used to be weren’t museum was

[fallen junco]

@woven drift I would love to see that golf course!

[exotic cloud]

Were

[woven drift]

one sec

[wheat nacelle]

@worthy tendon thank u

[zinc hull]

does anyone have a foresty type themed island? I’m changing my island and I’m looking to go for nature. I need some inspiration!

[solemn kestrel]

@exotic cloud You could put like, a natural park

[fringe plinth]

Anyone has the template for calculating spaces as a custom design pattern? Thank you!

[solemn kestrel]

Like, with trees and flowers and such, with woody items

[exotic cloud]

Maybe... I feel like it’s to small for that tho

[fallen junco]

@exotic cloud that would be a great space for a garden or the campsite!

[solemn kestrel]

You could do it really cutely

[worthy tendon]

what furniture looks good in an orchird? i already have a handcart and elephant watering can

orchard*

[primal ginkgo]

@worthy tendon The beehive!!

[hollow horizon]

@worthy tendon hide gnomes here and there

[vast cradle]

how is my launch site looking so far? I still have a lot of furniture I need to get for it

[solemn kestrel]

Woahhh

That's really impressive

[patent sky]

Omg

[primal ginkgo]

Looking great chonk! Can’t wait to see it when it’s finished

[fallen junco]

@worthy tendon I customized some stalls and put pieces of fruit on them. Also the different fruit boxes

[woven drift]

it’s by my flower breeding garden

[trim wren]

Does it look good?

[worthy tendon]

i have fruitboxes, & i’ll def put down my beehive ^^ my orchard is arranged in small rows of 3 trees rn

[solemn kestrel]

Oo

[primal ginkgo]

@worthy tendon

This is my orchard/garden

[fallen junco]

@bryann it looks so good!

[worthy tendon]

thats so pretty kay!! thank you for the inspo <33

[primal ginkgo]

You’re welcome!

[trim wren]

I need som tips

[hollow horizon]

@trim wren only problem with the shops in the back corner is if you have people visit for turnips and stuff. That’s quite a hike

[exotic cloud]

I quite like this area I made a while ago 🙂

[hollow horizon]

Oh that’s not the shops nvm

[primal ginkgo]

@trim wren and I assume you’re going to place the villager houses on the red colored paths? Just know that placing the houses down will remove them

Love that moai statue omg

[exotic cloud]

Thank you :))

[woven drift]

Hey guys is this 6x7 square?

i have so much empty space -.-

[primal ginkgo]

That’s what it looks like 7x8 counting the wall

[trim wren]

@primal ginkgo thank you for the tips :)

[tawny glacier]

god it takes SO LONG TO BUY FROM LEIF

[woven drift]

can i tour a 5 star island?

[tawny glacier]

GOOD LORD!

[primal ginkgo]

Actually! It might be 5 I don’t think the grass next to the wall counts as a tile

[woven drift]

@primal ginkgo thanks i was talking without walls but but its the same as I tough 6x7

Actually i think its a 6x6

[hollow horizon]

Yeah I see 6x6

[misty rampart]

I’ve got a 13x9 plot which is in the middle of all my villager’s houses. Anyone got any ideas on what I could put there?

[tawny glacier]

@misty rampart i made a kimono display in between my houses

[primal ginkgo]

@misty rampart Maybe a fountain and a bench area?

[hollow horizon]

@misty rampart maybe a plaza with fountain, flowers, wooden swings

[tawny glacier]

but mine isnt a 13x9 tho

[vast cradle]

I built this like a week ago and I still feel like it seems unfinished but I can’t figure out why

[solemn prairie]

Advice?

[misty rampart]

Yeah. Tysm for the ideas

[steady tree]

Any ideas how I can make the space between the side walk and wall look better?

[solemn prairie]

@steady tree you could use custom designs on the ground

[woven drift]

@vast cradle It's the sand! Throw some sand art, smooshed plankton custom design or something on there haha.

[hollow horizon]

@steady tree there’s tons of path edge patterns, it’ll just take work lol

[steady tree]

But what

[primal ginkgo]

@vast cradle I believe you could also place down some flowers and pluck them and they won’t grow back gives a nice weedy/bushy look that could add some texture

[queen nexus]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWzpqhrUYAAR-t_?format=jpg&name=large i like my resident district :<

[woven drift]

@steady tree Place flowers and then the fence or bushes/the hedge fence.

i know this is a biggg thing to ask for. still gonna ask because doesn’t hurt to try. i was wondering if someone could make me a map lay out, kinda like an art commission but animal crossing map. i’ll pay you in bells or nmt or whatever you would want!! just gonna put this out here

[queen nexus]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWzkXpDUEAAPcC5?format=jpg&name=large

[fallen cargo]

Please kill me... I need to get rid of all of these and more that I couldn't fit on screen

[vale hare]

any ideas on how i should terraform/layout my island? i know for sure i want a housing area & an area for the shops

i’ve been having trouble figuring out what to do for an entrance since my resident services is so close to airport, and i’m also just not good at designing outside

pls help i’m desperate

[tawny glacier]

@fallen cargo why did you do that in the first place LMAO

[scenic blaze]

@fallen cargo literally same

[fallen cargo]

@tawny glacier Side effects of time travelling for Raymond my boy...

[hollow horizon]

@vale hare for the entrance you can hide the resident services with cliffs. Mine isn’t done yet but that’s what I’ll be doing

[weary depot]

for layouts. is the total of a grid space tile 16 height and 16 width right now im trying to use the two planners in the pinned links

[hollow horizon]

Yes each big block is 16x16

[versed wadi]

your airport is dead on though. people would kill for that

[queen nexus]

i don't think it is?

it looks like the rocks block off part of it

[woven drift]

i am so annoyed because i kinda want to do a centered thing with residential services but i’d have to restart again but i’ve already invested 500k, 5 or so hours, and lots of mats... i also don’t want to annoy the person that i put all of my stuff down at again...

[vale hare]

it’s slightly to the side

[woven drift]

what should i dooooo?

[woven drift]

that’s sooo cute

[versed wadi]

cliffs are your friend 🙂

[primal ginkgo]

Water is your enemy

[queen nexus]

AND THOSE BIG STUPID ROCKS

[vale hare]

i hate them

[cobalt merlin]

@fallen cargo i could use some blue and purple ones 😂

[vale hare]

i wanna restart my island so bad but i have ketchup and she my fave 🥺👉👈

[primal ginkgo]

@woven drift if you want to put your things on my island I’d let you. I have some mods who can vouch for me too if needed

[weary depot]

thanks since im trying to pin down where is plaza is and stuff using the two planners planimal would be so perfect if it had the big grid spaces like island desginer, but planimal has the better designs of houses and stuff

[worthy tendon]

anyone have cute beaches w furniture they wanna show off ;-oo

[winter mesa]

Would anyone like to share their entrances 👉🏾👈🏽 i need some ideas

[versed wadi]

My beach furniture game is kinda basic

[fallen cargo]

@cobalt merlin I'll DM you a Dodo code in a sec

[solar lintel]

anyone that could come by and possibly give me some tips? I spread my houses apart and im really looking for some inspiration

[versed wadi]

@vale hare my island is similar with the off-centre and close RS to the airport

I basically ended up building a load of cliffs to hide it from view and making my entrance a bit less grandiose and a bit more 'cosy'

[unreal palm]

Just finished this area to my museum this is how my towns layout is probably gonna be ghibli/city cutesy feel

[hollow horizon]

@unreal palm gorgeous

[woven drift]

what should i build here •<>•

[manic lantern]

@unreal palm that is absolutely beautiful but whats your favorite Ghibli movie tho

[scenic blaze]

@unreal palm this looks really cool, can you do a video 👀

[solar lintel]

soccer field 😮

[keen vapor]

im not too happy at the location of my resident services but do you guys think it's still possible to have a waterfall entrance? 🥺😭 any suggestions on what I should do?

[simple nimbus]

Can I visit someone’s island? I have an idea for what I want: Lots of rocks and waterfalls, lots of rivers on the first level, most buildings on the upper level, but I really suck with the tools and need some inspiration.

[weary depot]

um are the tile meserments by height/width or width/height which one goes first

[solar lintel]

jesus

[unreal palm]

@scenic blaze

[scenic blaze]

suuuuper cool

[simple nimbus]

that’s gorgeous.

[scenic blaze]

thank you! really creative

[queen nexus]

thats it i'm destroying my town

[unreal palm]

Tysm! I’m in the middle of making that area a type of ghibli vibe

[queen nexus]

and my game copy lol

[unreal palm]

NO DONT

[queen nexus]

you guys are so good

[unreal palm]

sis trust me it really doesn’t take much effort or though

I have way too many flowers but I can't bring myself to get rid of them even though so many of them just get in the way constantly

[versed wadi]

@unreal palm That's really original. I like it a lot!

[modest juniper]

same idk what to do with the hybrids and flowers that don't match my island. but i need to keep them for diys ; _ ;

[queen nexus]

i just want to keep them all bc they are pretty :<

[vast cradle]

I mean more like my 200ish probably basic hyacinths

[unreal palm]

@versed wadi Tysm! I wanted a spirited away vibe when your walking yet the busy nature of modern japan

[scenic blaze]

@vast cradle same, i've been incorporating them into my designs more and selling off the basic ones. it keeps it manageable, i figure i can always buy more seeds

[solar lintel]

I have literally no idea what to do with my flowers, i've seen people put them around trees and spread them out nicely but for me i either mess them up and they look weird, so I just keep them pretty much all together in a corner

[sharp stump]

URBAN TO ISLAND - how do you guys transition your urban steeet roads to natural paths? I’m thinking of adding a strip of road but between that strip is dirthh paths for my camping and orchard

[modest juniper]

i finally found a flower combo i like. white roses and white windflowers alternating are so pretty

[pure nimbus]

Anyone have the creator code for those mossy white brick custom design path?

[versed wadi]

URBAN TO ISLAND - how do you guys transition your urban steeet roads to natural paths? I’m thinking of adding a strip of road but between that strip is dirthh paths for my camping and orchard
@sharp stump I'm using cliffs, rivers and split levels to ease transitions between disparate zones

[unreal palm]

My fave has to be red roses and white Lillie’s

[queen nexus]

i love hyacinths so much

[frigid otter]

idk if i like this or not

[versed wadi]

White hyacinths are my goto flower

[manic lantern]

@wintry swift the cliffs are too squared

[wintry swift]

oh

[vast cradle]

If any of you ever need basic hyacinths just hmu

I also have fair amount of blues and oranges that I can give you for free because I need to get rid of them

[frigid otter]

does this look better?

[strong ermine]

I am really struggling with where to put my villagers houses I have no idea. can anyone help

[unreal palm]

Here’s my house area if anyone wanted to see lol

[random crystal]

I made a tacky beach stand

[simple nimbus]

I QUIT

[scenic blaze]

@unreal palm you're a crazy person in the best way

[simple nimbus]

how are everyone’s islands so pretty😭

[golden isle]

@simple nimbusQuitter

[simple nimbus]

you’re right🤧

[golden isle]

Other islands should serve as an inspiration.

[novel heron]

this is my entrance now, what do you guys think of it? ive needed a lot of help and have really struggled with it

[golden isle]

Don't throw the towel in, feel motivated to do better.

[novel heron]

i really struggle to fill space on my own or know where to put anything so

[simple nimbus]

I’m really joking, haha :))

[versed wadi]

@novel heron I like it

[midnight urchin]

Anyone needs their flowers watered or moved. Also weeds rooted up

[unreal palm]

Ugh that’s what I’m struggling with rn

I can’t seem to make the house areas nice

[novel heron]

thank u :))

[unreal palm]

It’s so cute

[queen nexus]

that's the only part i'm satisfied with lol

[strong ermine]

can anyone help me with where to put their villagers

[austere vale]

Finally finished my zen garden!!

[versed wadi]

can anyone help me with where to put their villagers
@strong ermine It sounds like a cop-out answer but wherever feels right.

[obtuse grove]

Hello, I’m looking for small/compact yard designs. I want to put Chrissy and Francine next to eachother with matching yards 🙂

[strong ermine]

but idk where feels right

[unreal palm]

@obtuse grove I actually have both of them wanna see what I did?

[versed wadi]

Look for spaces that the villager might want to live, if it doesn't exist then take a crack at building that space for them.

[obtuse grove]

@obtuse grove I actually have both of them wanna see what I did?
@unreal palm yes please

[versed wadi]

Use their house exterior as a starting point

[queen nexus]

also is it important if ur villagers are all in one spot or not ask yourself that

[tender quail]

im using some natural bridges until i have bells for construction, should i use the white wood or the stone? unsure

[versed wadi]

maybe froup them by their architectural simularities

[vast cradle]

I wish you could use wall decorations outside somehow

[raven kindle]

Any ideas to restructure the island?

[unreal palm]

@obtuse grove here’s what I did so far

[simple nimbus]

Is there an easier way to scale cliffs while in terrain editing mode?

[obtuse grove]

That’s nice. I’m nowhere near finished and started like 3 minutes ago

[unreal palm]

I’m never satisfied with how my island looks I swear I’m gonna die before I can finish it

[tender quail]

mood

[versed wadi]

@sonic crown This is as close as two of my villagers live together

[queen nexus]

if you are never satisfied then how will i ever be lol

[unreal palm]

That’s so cute

[silk kettle]

@unreal palm from the images and vids your island looks really cool.

[woven drift]

How much is this square in th3 middle ?6x6? I need help

[obtuse grove]

@versed wadi I like that too, thank you

[unreal palm]

@silk kettle aww tysm 😢

[queen nexus]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWzyBjGU4AAE1BF?format=jpg&name=large i've got my villagers up top and on bottom

[unreal palm]

You guys know how everybody puts they’re house at the top or the main focus? You should try putting your house secluded

[scenic blaze]

@versed wadi who's gonna live in the marsh?

[obtuse grove]

The only yard I’ve been satisfied with, was copied from the trailer (because raymond is lowkey boring)

[unreal palm]

Is it bad raymond and marshal doesn’t have a yard lmao

[versed wadi]

Molly, she's a duck. Seems apropriate

[balmy nexus]

I use my houses to conceal various things

[manic lantern]

I'm giving away free Roses because I love you guys.

DM me

[unreal palm]

I’m probably gonna make most of my villagers houses on mountains and ridges

[balmy nexus]

My fairy fountain is right behind Julian's house.

[vast cradle]

Roald always gets in the way of wherever I am trying to build or terraform why is he like this

[scenic blaze]

i'm considering sticking one of the critters in the middle of the lake i just made but i don't have any water-friendly animals rn

[versed wadi]

I have a little seaside village of 3 houses, the rest are scattered.

[scenic blaze]

actually nvm i have a frog lol

[queen nexus]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/g525hj/my_museum_entrance_inspired_by_usubspacehighwa/ i wish i could recreate this

[unreal palm]

I’m thinking of making tia a area by my cottage core place

[simple nimbus]

Would anyone be so kind as to let me visit their island? I just need some wholistic inspiration...

[balmy nexus]

The able sisters shop and Diana's house conceal my waterfall coffee shop

[unreal palm]

I would but my town is hectic rn

[vast cradle]

I would but I'm terraforming rn and also my island is hideous lol

[simple nimbus]

That’s so cute!

[scenic blaze]

Trying to figure out where the plaza goes in planimal crossing site can anyone please help

[simple nimbus]

@versed wadi I’m fairly new to island decorating, so, what are those large stones that you have on your island?

[versed wadi]

There's a few different ones.

[simple nimbus]

Are they DIY?

[versed wadi]

They all seem to be tittle some variation of garden rock

Yeah, and expensive in stone

[simple nimbus]

Darn ://

[sage gorge]

There’s garden rock, tall garden rock and flat garden rock

[versed wadi]

I dislike them, I'm using the stone stools and stone walls more to do rock type decoration now

[tiny galleon]

can i see some island layout via maps! I'd love some inspiration pls ! (:

[versed wadi]

and mossy variants

[sage gorge]

Ah yeah mossy rock too

My map doesn’t show most of my stuff since I used lots of qr paths :<

[manic lantern]

Turning my residents spot into a foresty vibe thanks to the legend himself @mcgibbon#5117

Wish me luck lol

[simple nimbus]

I’m just trying to figure out how I want to do this. I’ve completely gotten rid of all the rivers through my island today, and this is my first time ever decorating.

[simple nimbus]

Like I just got the Island Designer app... 3 days ago?

[unreal palm]

@simple nimbus my opinion is that you should place a big area with all 3 layers then just mold out slowly what you want, it may not be even but it will be cute

[sage gorge]

Made a lil outdoor library/reading spot and I’m not sure if I’m keeping it, any feedback?

[cyan cedar]

@sage gorge i think its cute

[unreal palm]

That’s so cute!

[wet oar]

i like the way the wood fades out like that, maybe just make the chairs actually able to be sat in

[simple nimbus]

that is soooo cute!

thanks @unreal palm!

[sage gorge]

@wet oar oof that’s the biggest problem, those chairs are almost impossible to position in a way where you can actually sit

I’ve been struggling for so long with that

Since you can only access them through the front and not from the sides

[wet oar]

i have the same problem w the rattan chairs cus of the arms idk what to do

maybe try removing the table even so people can just sit to read or someth

[sage gorge]

@wet oar yes the same with the rattan chairs, it’s painful :<

[wet oar]

or smaller end tables type deal

[cyan cedar]

How far away do u guys think villagers be from each other?

[modest juniper]

they should really implement an animation of your character pulling out the chair and scooching it back in place so you can sit in it

[unreal palm]

This is my layout rn it’s very uneven and may look like not much is done but that’s why I just mold into my island rather then delete everything

[wet oar]

my layout is a mess i just removed every cliff and river to redo it all

[sage gorge]

Bruh that looks super full how

[unreal palm]

I’m running out of areas to put things lmao

[simple nimbus]

That’s SO SO SO SO SO pretty! personally I think it looks better when it’s uneven like that it looks the most realistic and looks best... that’s just an opinion tho

[sage gorge]

I have a ton of space I don’t know what to do with

[magic sierra]

i have the opposite problem, i have so much empty spaces and no lie what to do with it

[unreal palm]

K are you from Hawaii lol

[queen nexus]

you got rid of your right side river on purpose?

[magic sierra]

all the purple is empty space and pink will be empty once my hybrids are all done breeding 🤦🏼‍♀️

[unreal palm]

Yes! that’s how I made my ghibli area

[queen nexus]

@unreal palm are you planning on leaving the right river out 😮

[unreal palm]

The area on the top right is my catolog area but I’m getting rid of it rn

[balmy nexus]

My layout doesn't do my town justice because I use a lot of custom paths.

[scenic blaze]

my next project is whatever the hell my upper right is gonna be. aside from erasing rivers that whole area is basically untouched since launch

[unreal palm]

Mhm! In my opinion I want a full/busy town so the river isn’t needed in that area

[edgy fiber]

i'm transforming my island into a final fantasy VII cyberpunk look 😅😅

[sage gorge]

@balmy nexus same

[edgy fiber]

my whole island is leveled

8 hours of digging cliffs

[queen nexus]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWz2BMrVAAUE2ze?format=jpg&name=large most recent version of my layout but i was thinking about connecting the land on the right side completely, kind of scared to lol

[scenic blaze]

change is scary!

[zinc hull]

I may or may not be redoing my whole island

[modest juniper]

fuck it making an outdoor greenhouse B]

[versed wadi]

@scenic blaze has a great little greenhouse guarded by a turtle!

[vagrant grotto]

Ay! I'm also working on an outdoor greenhouse.

[scenic blaze]

turts need jobs

[sage gorge]

Ooo I really want to do a greenhouse!

If you guys could share yours it would be epic I really need some inspo

[glossy prism]

This game stresses me out but I think I’m going to stick with this layout alhdkajdijs

[simple nimbus]

okay... I have a ton of flowers planted and I’m trying to dig them all up.. my inventory is SOO filled and you can’t put flowers into your house storage? Any suggestions?

[scenic blaze]

it's changed a little since this picture but this is mine

[sage gorge]

MY TOWN IS ALSO NAMED LILYCOVE

[keen vapor]

do you guys think it's possible to make a waterfall entrance with this gap from my resident services? 🥺

[vagrant grotto]

@scenic blaze your island map is gorgeous

[glossy prism]

@sage gorge a man of culture

[scenic blaze]

thank you!

[modest juniper]

idk if i should keep the skull at my alter because i like the idea of having a dark secret on my island but literally nothing else is evil and i don't feel like redoing stuff

[agile mantle]

@simple nimbus ask a trusted friend to keep your flowers while you work, that's what I did

[wet oar]

@simple nimbus i put them all on one beach and the edges and organized by breed to store them until i can place them where i need them

[sage gorge]

@glossy prism another one, I see

[versed wadi]

Tonight has been mostly about moving the right villagers in

I was a bit too scared of the marshland

[zinc hull]

I put flowers on the beach while I’m terraforming

[simple nimbus]

great ideas, thanks!

[versed wadi]

It's a lot of waterscaping

[woven drift]

Can anybody tell what this is

[modest juniper]

@woven drift the clay chinese soldiers?

[deep spear]

warrior statue

[versed wadi]

Terracotta warriors

[grizzled cedar]

Terra cotta warriors. nice

[sage gorge]

@versed wadi I did a marshland too :0

[scenic blaze]

@versed wadi i filled my lake in with paths before i started scaping so i could see how it looked on the map, then just hit the water tool on the path til it was done

[woven drift]

@modest juniper yes but the thing as a whole

[scenic blaze]

it needed some tweaking but worked really well otherwise

[modest juniper]

damm i couldn't have messed up that name any more haha

[versed wadi]

@sage gorge show me!

[modest juniper]

yeah jish it looks great! totally identifiable

[versed wadi]

I've got a load of images I've pulled from google images of the sort of lanscape I'm targetting.

[sudden steppe]

If only I could time skip irl-

[versed wadi]

But 0% confidence that I can pull it off within the AC toolset

[woven drift]

Thanks! Just gotta add more to the surrounding area so it doesn’t look so plain

[scenic blaze]

you got this

might take a couple days but i can't wait to see how you do it

[versed wadi]

@versed wadi i filled my lake in with paths before i started scaping so i could see how it looked on the map, then just hit the water tool on the path til it was done
@scenic blaze Great idea!

[simple nimbus]

That’s so smart!!!

[manic lantern]

whats a marshland lol

[woven drift]

Help me, I have Knox and Sterling's houses here but I need a castle-like scenery what do I do

[sage gorge]

@versed wadi here!

[versed wadi]

@scenic blaze, the little wooden ducks on your island. were they DIY?

[scenic blaze]

yes

decoy duck

[manic lantern]

give this person a damn medal that island is set up is beautiful

[scenic blaze]

they used to be next to a pond but i nixed the pond and never moved them

[versed wadi]

@sage gorge Oh 1000 times yes!

[simple nimbus]

Can you build multiple inclines a day?

[manic lantern]

im saving these image for research purposes 🤓

[versed wadi]

Can you build multiple inclines a day?
@simple nimbus you can if you time travel!

[primal ginkgo]

Only one incline or bridge a day

[simple nimbus]

Heh.

[primal ginkgo]

I love the decoy ducks I Mm obsessed with them

[high skiff]

so do you have to move your house in order to make it mounted?

[versed wadi]

mounted?

[primal ginkgo]

To put on a cliff yes

You’ll have to move it away from the area build and then place back on

[unborn prairie]

So I'm redoing my whole island.. again. lol
Does anyone have a list of how big each building inclines and bridges are? :)

(Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this question.)

[versed wadi]

@unborn prairie It's in the pinned posts

[scenic blaze]

@sage gorge do you have an ac twitter***?

[unborn prairie]

Oh dope! Thank you!

[rich tundra]

As mentioned earlier today, it is with heavy heart that I begin leveling my island. All my hard work for a theme I realize I don’t want. The videos are quick run through of the island for you to appreciate, that way my hours and hours weren’t for nothing. RIP Cozy Cove v1

[scenic blaze]

[strong ermine]

im fucking quitting this game

[woven drift]

Anyone got an island with statues at their entrance?

[unkempt meteor]

What path should I use to connect this lil rest area

[strong ermine]

terracotta

[weary depot]

@agile mantle i was going to unclown her shes best girl i only did this edited this pfp for april fools and never gotten around to changeing it

[primal ginkgo]

@unkempt meteor keep using the cobble but do 2x2 tiles and make circles

Makes it look like large step stones

[unkempt meteor]

I can do that?

[primal ginkgo]

Yup just round the edges

[agile mantle]

I mean all of the FE:3H fans who are ACNH fans blows my mind Lmao

[primal ginkgo]

[][]
[][] then do a space and the next one

[high skiff]

so do you guys tend to show a lot of grass on your island or do you like to cover most of the ground w/ brick or whatever

[weary depot]

curently doing this i wish this was a was a bace planimal feture maybe i should talk to the devs

[versed wadi]

I use the alternating circles all the time, perhaps a bit too much

[primal ginkgo]

^^^

Just did this with the wet dirt through my forest area it’s so beautiful

[scenic blaze]

Wet dirt is my fave path

[unkempt meteor]

Is this good?

[primal ginkgo]

Yeah just like that! You can alternate them or do a straight line

[unkempt meteor]

I think I might stick with alternating

[stray steppe]

anyone got fish market inspo to share? :~)

[versed wadi]

if you alternate them, you can put the circles closer together

[unkempt meteor]

Thanks for the help

[vast cradle]

@stray steppe this is probably obvious but the drying fish rack would be good for that

[brazen horizon]

can someone help me? I just got my tools and all I've done is my entrance

idk what to do next?

[primal ginkgo]

@brazen horizon connect it to your town hall!

[stray steppe]

@vast cradle indeed!!! but i’m thinking inspo from pictures hehe

[versed wadi]

@brazen horizon, work one screenshot at a time 🙂

[agile mantle]

[dawn cave]

ugh it's been raining on my island all day, makes terraforming such a drag

[primal ginkgo]

Cuteee

Yeah I hate the rain it’s always when I just finish an area and I wanna take cute pics of it

[dawn cave]

Exactly!

[hasty wolf]

Here’s my entrance I placed my residential services way to close but I gotta live with it... anyone have any ideas on how to jazz up my entrance ? I’m desperate for ideas!!!!
