island-designs

[true burrow]

oh i might try a picnic area ! i had a few but i forgot to add them again after i restarted my island lol

[scenic blaze]

lulu breaking out the wholesome meme folder

[patent sky]

This is a channel of POSITIVITY and SUPPORT

[candid finch]

I needed that

[fathom sonnet]

We are not a part of the greed going around in the trading channels

[normal oyster]

i have a huge empty lot that's awkwardly long and skinny, any ideas of what to add? it's right next to a pathway

[visual hamlet]

i've accepted that it doesn't look like how i want it atm but working on it and i'll make it a damn good island

[zealous pendant]

I’ve completely got rid of all my rivers :x

[woven drift]

Happy little accidents

[brazen horizon]

yo I needed that inspirational image ty

[woven drift]

Something a friend of mine irl brought up too is that it's not a competition

[normal oyster]

I’ve completely got rid of all my rivers :x
@zealous pendant oml that looks crazy good

[woven drift]

AC is a relaxation game

Have fun with it

[verbal obsidian]

I’ve completely got rid of all my rivers :x
@zealous pendant looks neat, I’m a fan of natural water features. But everyone has a preference.

[hollow horizon]

@normal oyster are you big on breeding flowers? You could do a hybrid breeding plot!

[exotic ginkgo]

should rivers be less then 4 blocks for an naturel look?

[verbal obsidian]

Bottom line- experiment guys. This game is about having fun. Be creative.

[zealous pendant]

@verbal obsidian yea totally agree !! Like I just wanted more places to decorate specific zones

[hollow horizon]

@exotic ginkgo mine are between 3 and five wide at most parts

[normal oyster]

@hollow horizon i already have one but it's only temporary, i wanna put something meaningful or scenic

[verbal obsidian]

@verbal obsidian yea totally agree !! Like I just wanted more places to decorate specific zones
@zealous pendant totally! I’m at a point where my natural areas are over taking my decorative areas. Lol

[brazen horizon]

when I restarted, I told myself, I'm just going to :
have fun, take my time
not:
give up, rush it all to impress

[scenic blaze]

@exotic ginkgo they can really be any size, i replaced one of my rivers with a lake and totally adjusted the other.

[hollow horizon]

@normal oyster what about an outdoor market type thing? Not sure how long the strip of land is

[woven drift]

Oooh lovely

[zealous pendant]

I chopped down all my trees and replanted them :x

[exotic ginkgo]

@scenic blaze damn thats cool

[visual hamlet]

did the same, to control exactly the numbers i had

[normal oyster]

@hollow horizon that sounds cute actually 😳 thanks for the idea

[hollow horizon]

You’re welcome!

[eager crater]

should i make a neighborhood area? like put all my villagers in one spot? i scattered them around and i feel like i dont have room for other stuff now. :[ who has a neighborhood and likes it?

[verbal obsidian]

Who else has like 5 projects they are working on their island and keep going back between all of them. Can’t just be me. 😂😂

[hollow horizon]

🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

[vagrant sluice]

Me

[pure nimbus]

Yep

[candid finch]

Kinda

[fathom sonnet]

@eager crater

[brazen lagoon]

Can anyone let me check out their island? I can donate a nmt or something

[visual hamlet]

same lmao, have to wait for building movings or bridges / inclines to keep working on some things

[verbal obsidian]

When I get stuck on one I go over to my next project

[zealous pendant]

@verbal obsidian I’m completely done with mine 😭 for now. I redid my island like 4x already -

[woven drift]

@brazen lagoon Don't donate a NMT just to peek around and get inspiration, that's a rip-off

[exotic ginkgo]

is this a good entrance for my house or is it taking space?

[brazen lagoon]

@woven drift ?

[versed wadi]

Oh FFS. I’ve just had an idea that means I think I might be getting rid of that river again

[verbal obsidian]

@verbal obsidian I’m completely done with mine 😭 for now. I redid my island like 4x already -
@zealous pendant I said that once... now look where I am now. Lol. Redoing areas for the 3rd time.

[eager crater]

@fathom sonnet omg so jealous of your map

[scenic blaze]

@versed wadi DO IT DO IT what's the idea

[verbal obsidian]

I completely gutted my south beach areas in favor for boardwalk/beachside design.

[woven drift]

@brazen lagoon Find someone who will let you look for free

[candid finch]

Lmao just discovered 19 nmt in my storage that i totally forgot about😭

[fathom sonnet]

@eager crater dont be jealous take insipration :)
My idea is to give every villager its unique and fitting garden/outside

[woven nebula]

Does anyone know really good looking patterns of flowers that I can use around a path?

[brazen horizon]

oh yeah, do y'all prefer a full neighborhood were all villagers can interact, or a more separated feeling, like 2-3 houses in a area

[pure nimbus]

Just spent 1 million bells moving villager houses👌

[vagrant sluice]

I’m thinking full neighborhood imo

[scenic blaze]

i made a neighborhood when i first got terraforming, and now that i've settled on a wild and natural theme i really want to scatter them again

it'll happen but i want to wrap up other projects first

[verbal obsidian]

oh yeah, do y'all prefer a full neighborhood were all villagers can interact, or a more separated feeling, like 2-3 houses in a area
@brazen horizon keep separate. I do have some villagers next to one another. But I have multiple “themes” which I perfectly place the right villager to.

For example, I have a koala bear in bamboo village, a “bigfoot” in mountains with path to campsite, Beachy villagers beachside. And so on.

I also have a cow in Farm area of my island with orchards and take vegetable gardening.

[brazen horizon]

i like that!

[verbal obsidian]

fake vegetable*

[amber mantle]

Hi I'm new on discord

[candid finch]

Hi

[fathom sonnet]

@amber mantle nice

[amber mantle]

Thanks

[fathom sonnet]

Welcome!

[versed wadi]

I also have grouped my villagers by their house exteriors

[ocean sorrel]

I have 2 villagers with restaurant, bakery type houses, so my idea was to put them in the city, and have them like restaurants, (the 2 villagers are Frita and Merengue btw)

[fathom sonnet]

Thats a nice idea

[normal oyster]

@verbal obsidian wait is there a koala bear furniture or something

[amber mantle]

Cool

[brazen horizon]

I wanna catalog trade,, in hope for new items, cause I have nothing, but people kinda overprice.

[candid finch]

I just have 2 villagers next to each other and give them a shared backyard.

[ocean sorrel]

nice

[candid finch]

Idk why but ive seen nobody build backyards for their villagers. Maybe its something we do in my country

[amber mantle]

My villagers are all ugly😢

[verbal obsidian]

Should I raise everything up onto cliff here? My tree line is 1 level lower than cliff. Can’t see anything when standing behind cliff.

[ocean sorrel]

i built them backyards too, but oh god, taking a lot of space

[verbal obsidian]

@verbal obsidian wait is there a koala bear furniture or something
@normal oyster no. But Ozzie has peaches interior with dirt flooring. I wish he had bamboo interior.

[fathom sonnet]

@candid finch maybe the reason for less backyards is that the house blocks most of the view?

[woven drift]

They don't have back doors though

[ocean sorrel]

Oh yeah, i was also planning on doing a boardwalk at the back of my island, which seems neat

[eager crater]

ugh yeah i had them in pairs with shared yards but i feel like now i have no room for anything else. that's why i'm leaning towards a neighborhood :/

[primal ginkgo]

I think I like the wooden bridge more? Even if the zen bridge is extravagant I’m not sure though. What are your opinions?

[amber mantle]

That's a cool idea

[normal oyster]

@verbal obsidian ohhh i'm dumb i thought u were saying there was a koala bear u placed outside lol

[versed wadi]

My houses that have found their place.

[amber mantle]

@primal ginkgo wow beautyfull

[scenic blaze]

@primal ginkgo i like the wood bridge! i don't think the zen meshes with your aesthetic there

[verbal obsidian]

@primal ginkgo I actually prefer zen bridge

[ocean sorrel]

@primal ginkgo Wooden seems like more fairytale ish, and zen feels more zeny

lmao

[scarlet perch]

Anyone who wanna come to my island and help me decide which kind of bridge to put :/

[primal ginkgo]

I love the extravagance the zen bridge has lol maybe if it was white or a light wood color

[wheat light]

I'm having trouble figuring out where to place rivers and stuff 😭 my island has no water except for some ponds and the beach lmao

[scenic blaze]

i wish we had better options for stone bridges 😦 i'd love one with a raised railing and a mossy coloration

@wheat light post your map we can help

[verbal obsidian]

Does anyone want to come visit my island to help figure out area with me?

[visual hamlet]

using hedge fences is too damn addicting, i need to stop

[candid finch]

I wish we could place bridges between cliffs

[pure nimbus]

@visual hamlet my strange addiction

[proven osprey]

Check out my island plan so far! I want to make the area by the campsite a fairytale-style forest, and I’m going to add a boardwalk with shops and a cafe on the bottom right. Any thoughts? 🙂

[verbal obsidian]

@proven osprey is that suppose to be Chicago with Lake Michigan? Lol

[scenic blaze]

the great lakes! cute

[ocean sorrel]

i feel like i used too much space for my Urban place, like its height almost covers half of the map, and it width like less than a quarter

[woven drift]

The little lakes

[fathom sonnet]

I wish we could put trees next to cliffs or water

[ocean sorrel]

yess

[verbal obsidian]

I wish we could put trees next to cliffs or water
@fathom sonnet I feel your pain.

[stray kayak]

i wish we could make the beach bigger

[verbal obsidian]

Yup!

[ocean sorrel]

i wish we can remove some beaches

or add more rivers in beaches

[zealous pendant]

I mean I wish the decoy ducks can actually go on the river/pond 😦

[fathom sonnet]

4th and 5th layer

That would be sick

[stray kayak]

i have no clue how i wanna set up my island i just unlocked island design today

[fathom sonnet]

Make your house entrance 2 tiles instead of 3

[candid finch]

What do yall think of this plan? Red is a bridge and yellow an incline. And what should i put at the top?

[ocean sorrel]

MAke everything flat, remove all water, kick out all of your villagers, and there you go @stray kayak

[versed wadi]

So my daughter just got Crackle on a NM island and wondered why I’d never heard of him a turns out his name is different for EU and AUS. Do Americans not have pork crackling?

[stray kayak]

i-

[verbal obsidian]

I’m stuck. Should I make cliff bigger . There’s this weird space between cliff and tree line that can’t see when walking between them.

[proven osprey]

@verbal obsidian i don’t understand your question lol

[fathom sonnet]

@candid finch dont forget your limit of 8 inclines and bridges

[pure nimbus]

@verbal obsidian id say move it up

[spice wagon]

@fathom sonnet 8 for each or in total?

[ocean sorrel]

honestly, i like a walkway

[pure nimbus]

Each

[verbal obsidian]

@verbal obsidian i don’t understand your question lol
@proven osprey when you walk in this area the camera pans to completely overhead

[fathom sonnet]

Yes 8 for each

[peak sand]

Anyone have a nice museum setup?

[ocean sorrel]

mines in the corner

[spice wagon]

phew had a mini panic there XD

[verbal obsidian]

@verbal obsidian id say move it up
@pure nimbus move what up?

[candid finch]

@spice wagon ye same

[pseudo kite]

Working on a gulliver store what do yall think so far?

[fathom sonnet]

My museum so far

[ocean sorrel]

@pseudo kite looking snazzy

[candid finch]

@fathom sonnet is that a digsite? If so thats a great idea

[pure nimbus]

@verbal obsidian oh sorry I thought you were asking something else

[fathom sonnet]

@pseudo kite maybe add some small stores and a small plaza to sell that stuff

[peak plover]

Made myself a lil garden, and put the washing out lmao

[fathom sonnet]

@candid finch yeah haha, sitting since day 4 on it D:

[ocean sorrel]

ima post my urban area that i have so far

[fathom sonnet]

Need to get the right fossils and the stones to spawn inside

[stray kayak]

i’m scared im gonna redesign my island then ditch the game and never play it again:(

[fathom sonnet]

Dont do that

[pseudo kite]

Thanks for the advice! Ill think about how to do it!

[fathom sonnet]

Maybe start small to redesiging it

[stray kayak]

like i feel like i rushed it i didnt time travel or anything but i already got kk and like

[verbal obsidian]

i’m scared im gonna redesign my island then ditch the game and never play it again:(
@stray kayak honestly that would just make the game more fun and get me to continue playing. Lol I wish you could have multiple islands.

[woven drift]

Made myself a lil garden, and put the washing out lmao
@peak plover I love how organic that looks, super cute 😊

[peak sand]

Thoughts on the rock garden?

[fathom sonnet]

Idk bushes around it are meh

[brittle crescent]

yeah not feeling the bushes. maybe a fence with the bushes?

[agile root]

How did you even do that? @peak sand

[fathom sonnet]

I kinda prefer the stone spots to be more natural than just dumped into the city :/ my opinion though!

[flat lark]

Got a boardwalk in the works

[brittle crescent]

ooh do i see a city theme island

[flat lark]

Still in the works haha

[peak sand]

@agile root cover all the places in my map where rocks could spawn with mannequins besides the spot I wanted them

[agile yarrow]

anyone have some cottagecore inspo?

[ocean sorrel]

Is this too big? I think it’s 11x7, and I’m fitting 4 islander in it, and oh god, looks really big

[hollow horizon]

@ocean sorrel the houses are 4x4, that’s too small lol

[vivid chasm]

I love how wholesome this channel is

[fathom sonnet]

@ocean sorrel 4 villagers in that one spot?

[ocean sorrel]

nono, i mean with the plot

[peak plover]

@woven drift aa ty ;u; im trying to go for a more natural look with my island, i posted my campsite earlier too that i decorated and tried to keep looking natural and organic :D

[ocean sorrel]

oops, lmao

[hollow horizon]

Oh you want 11x7 per house? Yeah that’s huge lol

[ocean sorrel]

it really is, i already have 4 and its heigh covers half of the island

[candid finch]

Swinging bench might be my favorite item in the game

[flat lark]

Except you can't swing 😭

[weary depot]

Hey can someone help me im usong planimal planer and happy island designer to pin point where my resident services is

cant seem to pin down where it is

[fathom sonnet]

@ocean sorrel this is 11x7

[weary depot]

like it goes to acer 3 and 4

[candid finch]

Which bug models should i include in my nature reserve? Currently only using wasp

[fathom sonnet]

If you use fences it will get smaller but could work

[ocean sorrel]

Lmao, maybe I should make it smaller

[sacred quail]

giant moth

[hollow horizon]

@candid finch peacock butterfly is amazing

[sacred quail]

atlas moth

[ocean sorrel]

yeah, the outline are fences, and the outline inside it, is the houses

[brazen horizon]

love hanging out in this chat, very positive.

[candid finch]

@hollow horizon ugh then i gotta wait for flick to show up again

[ocean sorrel]

@fathom sonnet yeah, i think im going to make it smaller

[clear oyster]

Finished my pool area yayy

[swift stag]

I placed my houses 6 blocks apart in width and 2 blocks apart in front

[fathom sonnet]

@ocean sorrel make sure to have some space for walkways too!

[hollow horizon]

@swift stag are they in two rows of 5? I can not for the life of me decide how to do the houses

[lime bane]

omg why does that look so cool like not even like animal crossing the houses colours omg 😭 @swift stag

[exotic ginkgo]

Any ideas to pathways to a resident service?

[peak sand]

@fallen tiger it took me about 3 hours to make it so there are no other spots they could spawn

[swift stag]

@hollow horizon Correct 🙂

[hollow horizon]

Not to steal that idea but 👀🥰

[swift stag]

@lime bane they are beautiful! I tried to match every pair so they compliment each other

[lime bane]

it looks amazing!!

[tawny glacier]

Im really excited, i just came up with a lovely idea for my island and im gonna execute it today

Gonna save up so much space :))))))

[swift stag]

@hollow horizon after thinking of placement ideas I think this one was my favourite hence why going through with it! You should too 🙂

[lime bane]

ooo good luck!

[swift stag]

@hollow horizon I like walking down a straight line and seeing all the houses! So cute

[candid finch]

Argh i ran out of trees and the shops closed

[languid tundra]

has anyone got a pic of a water feature they’ve made in their town?? i’m trying to make one for the moon to sit on top of 🥳

[wary stone]

this is my current entrance, (airport very close to residential services) any tips?

[hollow horizon]

@swift stag I could not agree more now that I see yours!

[swift stag]

The entrance walk way to my neighbourhood 🙂

[fathom sonnet]

Awesome

[hollow horizon]

Your island is perfect 😭

[flat lark]

Me everytime I open this channel

[ocean sorrel]

DISAHJKBNMAS

[swift stag]

@flat lark Omg I need to save this photo hahahaahaba

[brittle raft]

Saw a while back someone made a u shaped double waterfall around a raised museum, trying to find the picture of it to recreate

[candid finch]

Lmaooo

[ocean sorrel]

ok, i shrunk the yards to about 10x6

[bitter inlet]

@languid tundra i made this yesterday, you would have to change it a bit to fit a moon though

[lime bane]

ik it’s not the best pic but my entrance looks weird and idk what to do w it lol help😭

[swift stag]

@bitter inlet wow 😍

[jagged pagoda]

Can anyone recommend any farm/garden designs

[coarse pond]

my bamboo island i was working on... any tips on what else i could add since it looks pretty plain and bland lol (i’m still trying to make bamboo shoot lamps which are gonna be on the stone stools there but yeah)

[lime bane]

there’s no space:(

[languid tundra]

@bitter inlet that’s pretty ! this is the space i’m currently working with and just behind my resident services !

[swift stag]

@coarse pond gorgeous so far!

[peak sand]

Fencing better than bushes?

[trim wyvern]

I cant decide how to place my villagers. It feels like there's no space xD

[swift stag]

@peak sand 100%

[lime bane]

100% better!! looks so cool

[hollow horizon]

@peak sand fences look so much better!

[coarse pond]

thanks! @swift stag

[woven drift]

@peak sand I like bushes

[languid tundra]

@coarse pond what about some bamboo items like bamboo benches or dear scares etc ?

[meager sand]

@peak sand the fences look better imo

[fathom sonnet]

@peak sand defnitly better!

[blissful oxide]

can anyone help me plan the layout for my island im so bad at it

[coarse pond]

yeah im trying to get them LOL @languid tundra

[tawny glacier]

guys for some reason i really want to make an area with small plots for houses but idk why half of me doesn't, maybe because my old island had them and looked clunky

[fathom sonnet]

@peak sand maybe cut a way through the right and left side

[coarse pond]

im planning on getting more bamboo items i just dont really know where to place em

[near carbon]

everyone’s islands look so cute wtf

[peak sand]

@fathom sonnet that’s the next project😉

[candid finch]

Anyone got any ideas on how to incorperate the cliffs into my islan

[vagrant sluice]

@swift stag omg post more pics please I love that 😭😭

[trim wyvern]

Anyone got any ideas on how to place villagers all in one area without it looking cramped?

[ocean sorrel]

maybe in the back, you can do like a boardwalk

[near carbon]

omg cute u have stitches. also no i’d have to redesign it mostly from scratch to incorporate cliffs into it rn

[fathom sonnet]

@trim wyvern

[candid finch]

@near carbon yes thats the exact same problem im facing

[swift stag]

@vagrant sluice I got you!

[candid finch]

@ocean sorrel what do you mean?

[near carbon]

@trim wyvern you can have some on a cliff and some below that cliff. i’ve also seen designs with people who give them all a little fenced in yard

[coarse pond]

that looks so nice

[tawny glacier]

this is why im scarred and dont want to put clumped together houses, this was my old island lol (Ik it is terrible, i wiped my save because of it

[flat lark]

How do I spawn rocks right next to eachother??

[trim wyvern]

@fathom sonnet thanks! How have you managed to so the fences?

[near carbon]

this is how i have my villagers rn

[swift stag]

@vagrant sluice

[trim wyvern]

@trim wyvern you can have some on a cliff and some below that cliff. i’ve also seen designs with people who give them all a little fenced in yard
@near carbon Yeah this is what I'm doing but I kinda messed up my island plan but cba to removed stuff lol. I've also started terraforming recently. I've been putting it off xD

[hollow horizon]

@swift stag ffs it’s perfection 😭

[spice wagon]

Ok this is just a quick mock up, I'm still working on my star lake near the cafe, I have to get all the items sizes for my "blank" areas but I have a rough idea of what is going where... Any feedback on the base layout so far? Thanks much

[ocean sorrel]

@candid finch like in the back of the island, you can make level 3 cliffs, and you have a view without any beaches blocking it

[coarse pond]

man you guys have really nice islands

[trim wyvern]

this is how i have my villagers rn
@near carbon Oh I love the way you've done yours!

[fathom sonnet]

Currently redesigning @trim wyvern usually putting them around and match their houses

[near carbon]

i’m just having a tough time with doing all i want bc i’ve spent all my bells moving houses 😭

[swift stag]

@hollow horizon I tried really hard 😭😭😭

[trim wyvern]

@fathom sonnet Oh that's nice too!! o:

[cobalt patrol]

Lantern or floor light? Thisll be the entrance to my museum

[near carbon]

lantern

[hollow horizon]

Lantern

[fading anvil]

Lantern!

[cobalt patrol]

Should i get the lighter colored one maybe?

[hollow horizon]

Also the roses around the tree is 🥰

[candid finch]

Ye def lantern

[trim wyvern]

Lol I feel you @near carbon

[near carbon]

i rly stay being broke i spent 500k bells

[swift stag]

@tender harbor I did double south rivers

@tender harbor same river mouths as you

[hollow horizon]

@swift stag here I am again asking for your input 👀 how did you make them both work?

[cobalt anvil]

Any ideas of what to put in this awkward space?

[fathom sonnet]

If you need money do some turnip investments

[swift stag]

@hollow horizon wait the river? Sorry

[near carbon]

i just did this lil area today and i love it

also yes i’m gonna try to do turnips this next week

[cyan cedar]

@cobalt anvil maybe u can put one of the statues from gulliver?

[hollow horizon]

@swift stag yeah I have the same double south as well

[merry loom]

Finished this today and i'm very happy with it 🌱

[calm onyx]

Just finished revamping my island and super happy with how it turned out!!

[fathom sonnet]

That villager town looks nice

[scenic blaze]

@tender harbor my favorite double south river layouts is where the rivers don't connect. have one kind of straight and one kind of loopy, or turn one into a lake, or something

[trim wyvern]

@merry loom I LOVE it!! Nice job

[swift stag]

@hollow horizon one second, I’ll turn on my switch right now

[raven valley]

Fencing better than bushes?
@peak sand Yeah I think fencing looks better than the bushes.

[swift stag]

@tender harbor I’ll tag you in say a minute 🙂

[fathom sonnet]

Restart, you can always get those villagers back

[muted tartan]

Entrance, Museum garden, and Tangy’s orchard, all WIPs but im pretty happy with how theyre looking so far! :D
I’d love to get some suggestions on how i could improve these areas further

[trim wyvern]

@calm onyx omg that's amazing wtf!

[near carbon]

bro i love tangy sm

[calm onyx]

@trim wyvern Thank you!! 😊

[ocean sorrel]

om, we really should use villagers as an extra town npc, like MErengue, a bakery

[near carbon]

does anyone know good ways to use thin, long spaces well? both horizontal and vertical ones

[hollow horizon]

The double peach tree instead of one apple is sending me but otherwise it’s amazing!

[muted tartan]

I have 3 of each tree in the area, you just cant see the rest from that angle

[lime bane]

my wifi omg

[hollow horizon]

Oh whew good 🙂

[scenic blaze]

@tender harbor not my map, belongs to @/mcgibbon:

[near carbon]

personally i prefer houses all together but i like what you have going!! also i love the name lol

[hasty burrow]

Don't mind the island name

[hollow horizon]

Love the name lol

[ocean sorrel]

the name is better than the layout

in all honesty, the layout is nice

[scenic blaze]

@tender harbor if you search from:mcgibbon (his profile picture has a house) has:images in the search bar you can see a lot of things he's posted here

[ocean sorrel]

ok, i know what to do with residential areas now

[muted tartan]

campsite and some waterscaping by croque’s house

[north schooner]

Guys how big are housing plots by "feet"? I'm going to move them up the cliff but I want them to be evenly spaced so I have to know how many I can fit.

[swift stag]

@tender harbor @hollow horizon progress so far 🙂

[near carbon]

gonna add some flowers but i’m moving my campsite to this island i made

[scenic blaze]

@north schooner you can see the dimensions in the pinned messages on this channel

[swift stag]

@north schooner

[north schooner]

oh thanks, didn't even notice that

[scenic blaze]

don't restart, work with what you have!

[north schooner]

doi 🤦‍♀️

[hollow horizon]

Ohhh ok so more canal-like! Love it 🙂

[woven drift]

@muted tartan could you send your map 🥺🥺

[tight fractal]

This is just a WIP of what my entrance will look like, I wanna hear your thoughts on this

[fathom sonnet]

Love these lantern during the night

[ocean sorrel]

@tight fractal what i think about it? it makes me wanna restart my whole island

[woven drift]

so pretty

[fathom sonnet]

Like it maybe too much water 7.8/10

[hollow horizon]

@tight fractal maybe instead of full double waterfall, stagger some land on them and put flowers or something 🙂

[muted tartan]

@woven drift ill grab a screenshot rq! ^^

[tight fractal]

@ocean sorrel pls don't, you can still do some changes to do what you want

[woven drift]

@muted tartan ty! it looks so nice i’d just like to see an overview of it

[tight fractal]

hey, can anyone let me know if it's possible to get more custom design spaces?

[hollow horizon]

It’s not, unfortunately

[delicate shale]

😭

[tight fractal]

aw i thought so! no worries D:

[near carbon]

@tight fractal i love it!! the lanterns are cute i need to try to find some!!

[trim wyvern]

@woven drift Oh same.

[stoic niche]

Thanks for the compliments on my island! Also to the one who stole tons of diys, furniture, and flowers from me! Im not mad just disappointed honestly

[modern halo]

I like the all cap oof

[woven drift]

@muted tartan oh interesting! i can’t wait to see what you do with the double south rivers, i tried to work with them but i couldn’t. you seem to be doing great tho!

[hollow horizon]

@woven drift don’t say that! We are all creative in our own way 🙂 I finally after two days decided that my campsite is good enough! (Sans an incline and some more paths)

[trim wyvern]

@stoic niche someone really done that??

[stoic niche]

Yea i invited way too many at one point🙁

[modern halo]

I am dying

[cobalt patrol]

Wood or brick? Or maybe ill just use the dirt path

[mild mountain]

@stoic niche how do you even figure out the layout to a an island like yours, like I want to make my isalnd to have a theme like yours but Idk where to begin

[trim wyvern]

@stoic niche I'm sorry that happened T_T

[hollow horizon]

Im gonna open my town if any body wants to come😭

[primal ginkgo]

@woven drift when it gets stressful take a step back. I took off a whole day to relax when I first started terraforming because of how stressed I was. Just remember this game should be a relaxer and when it isn’t then find something else for the time being

[sterile orbit]

anyone want to share what the outside/surrounding area of their museum looks like?

[pearl nimbus]

I really need help with my island. If anyone wants to come to my island and help me I would really appreciate it!

[woven drift]

@stoic niche I’ll come and fill my pockets with diys

[tame thunder]

ooh i like how you still made it symmetrical and worked around the airport/rs placements

well somewhat symmetrical

[trim wyvern]

ikr

[north schooner]

Does anyone have a museum up on a cliff that I can see? I want to see how it looks

[spare fjord]

i can send mine again

[woven drift]

Lmao yeah making the rivers symmetrical was a pain

[cold rover]

I feel like you guys would yell like crazy at me for the way my map looks lmao

[tame thunder]

i have some cliffs surrounding my museum if that counts

[vivid hill]

Island open for inspo! I would appreciate if you watered the black roses near my house. Dodo Code is 4T48J
@vivid hill Sorry! I put the wrong Dodo Code

[woven drift]

I had made the paths symmetrical at first but I wanted different things

[proud inlet]

@cold rover same my map looks so bad

[coral tusk]

Anyone have photos of different designs for house front lawns, just starting my town area and not sure what way i want to go with the houses yet. Feel free to dm me any designs!

[vivid hill]

This is my layout!

[spare fjord]

i redesigned it twice but here's the different designs @north schooner

[pearl nimbus]

My island is so ugly😭 I need someone to come look at it and give ideas

[near carbon]

i feel bad to ask again but does anyone have any ideas what to do with thin, horizontal spaces that are long? probably like 3 blocks tall to 5 in some places

[cold rover]

It looks like a mess from the map view but it looks nice when you look around

[north schooner]

ooooooooh @spare fjord so pretty

[spare fjord]

@north schooner thanks ☺️

[woven drift]

@stoic niche I’m ready to give you all my diy lmao

[agile mantle]

DENISE HOLY SHIT

[spare fjord]

[woven drift]

@agile mantle I have more but it doesn’t fit my pockets

[north schooner]

😮

[woven drift]

I legit just wanna get rid of them

[vast cradle]

honestly same

[woven drift]

working on my island map, any ideas on what to do with the bottom left? i dont want to do much terraforming there but i want it to be kinda natural. the blocks of paths are for a picnic area, a garden of my favorite flowers, and a rock garden. ( credits go to @tranquil rivet for setting me up with a cool lay out i’m just building off of it! )

Lots of them are cool DIYs too but I already learned them

[north schooner]

@tame thunder wow okay you're living in 3020 what that island, jeeeesus

[vast cradle]

most of my diys are bunny day and bamboo stuff though so nobody wants them

[cold rover]

My island is basically just Desert/Oasis with a rocky cliff area up north

[woven drift]

If you have bamboo speaker I want it

[vast cradle]

I might, let me check

[woven drift]

And don’t worry y’all, ain’t no bunny DIY from this list 😂

[tame thunder]

my island is still very much a wip, but that's my proudest work

[agile mantle]

@woven drift once we're done at nananan's if you have any extra DIYs I don't have could I take em 👀

[north schooner]

it took me an hour to make a heart-shaped lake so I'm impresed

[near carbon]

trynna figure out what to do with these grassy areas lol

[hollow horizon]

My good deed for the day is done 🤗

[woven drift]

@agile mantle yes! If nana has some of those already too y’all can take em

pfft i thought that said greasy not grassy

[stoic niche]

I love u guys🥺

[vast cradle]

I think I'm just gonna sell my bunny diys to the nooks lol

they are less than worthless because they take up space lol

[north schooner]

I just leave them on the ground for people to take lol

[near carbon]

i struggle to find so many cute decor for outside with diy and its big sad bc everyone else’s islands look so cool w them

[burnt minnow]

[tranquil rivet]

@spare fjord set up a business in market area

[woven drift]

Or host cataloging

[scenic blaze]

i played the turnip market last week and got enough to last me for like six months

[tranquil rivet]

Turnip market is too much grind lol

[near carbon]

bruh imagine having bells

[near depot]

Can someone come to my islands and give me tips on my layout

[spare fjord]

i usually play turnips but i always spend so much money renovating

[grave night]

^^ i made 10 million In an hour selling turnips!!

[scenic blaze]

my island was buying at 503 and i had a friend who was TTed on sunday so we just pinged back and forth buying and selling

[cobalt patrol]

Does anyone have a museum with the entrance properly centered that they could show me 😭

[tame thunder]

does this work?

[cobalt patrol]

Thats pretty cool

[tame thunder]

i know i posted it not even 15 minutes ago shut up

[tranquil rivet]

You cant see mine but i used stairs

When you use 4 stairs to go up to your museum and didnt know about the limit T-T

[cobalt patrol]

I didnt really plan ahead and now im not sure if i have any way to center mine 😔

[barren karma]

i feel really bad reposting the same image asking for help, im sorry if i do that. but i really need a second opinion ;_;

[near carbon]

i need to move my museum again and it’s gonna suck bc it’s in a bad spot rn so i have to move it twice. i may just say screw it and keep it where it is

[cobalt patrol]

How could i get this to work??

Maybe i could just do this as an entrance area and have the museum on one side and something else on the other

[viral coral]

@near carbon ive litterally moved mine like 5 times 😭

[barren swift]

changed out the stone for wood 👀

what could i out around as detail or furniture

[plucky zealot]

Go rangers

[barren swift]

hell yea

i’m wearing a habs jersey cuz i just got a hockey mask. with a habs on it reminds me of Jacque Plante

[plucky zealot]

Sickkkk

I’m actually a wings fan but hockey is life

Well AC is life

Hockey is old life

[gusty briar]

@near depot I like the format in that video I was thinking of doing a U or ] around the town hall

[hearty ibex]

Finally got my rocks where I wanted them 😤

[vast cradle]

wow how long did that take?

[hearty ibex]

Like 2 hours of placing mannequins

[vast cradle]

oh did you time travel to do that?

[hearty ibex]

And a bunch of TTing and fguring out where I missed

[barren karma]

does anyone have any inspiration where nooks cranny is in front/behind able sisters instead of next to?

[vast cradle]

I saw someone who said they didn;t time travel to do something like that which is crazy

[lone spear]

just wanted to show you guys an area i built in memoriam to two of my dogs who passed away recently, i really like how it turned out and i hope it'll inspire some of you to make similar things in the memory of loved ones! :)

[hearty ibex]

@vast cradle yeah, if you break all the rocks, 1 rock spawns each day

[raven kindle]

Does anyone know if there's any problem on placing all the buildings in the beach and deforestation to "reestart" the island?

[final condor]

@lone spear that's beautiful 🥺🥺

[zinc hull]

@raven kindle I don’t see anything wrong with it, you can do whatever you like! I’m moving some buildings to the beach to terraform rn

[raven kindle]

Okay thanks

And deforestation? Haha

[woven drift]

what should i do with that blank part??

[zinc hull]

I had to take down most of my trees

[barren swift]

i’m a ranger fan FOR life

[lone spear]

@final condor thank you 😭 it was originally just gonna be a moon and star aesthetic area but it means so much more to me now

[vast cradle]

I really wish you could put wall decorations on cliffs

[tranquil rivet]

@woven drift make a park!! :))

[scenic blaze]

@woven drift your shops are pretty close together, maybe swap one to be on the other side of res services

[final condor]

I wanted to do something similar, like a stargazing area, but it's very cute!

[gusty briar]

@woven drift depends on your style and interest

[woven drift]

want it to be like a small town type thing so i’m not sure what to do there

[gusty briar]

I feel that

Hmm maybe a forest?

[tranquil rivet]

Make a park with a lil market

And a forest!!

[gusty briar]

You could add tiny openings within the forest for like a picnic or ruins?

[scenic blaze]

@woven drift i do the multi-level shops you're trying to do and putting them on either side helped use up space for me

one is second tier one is third

[woven drift]

ok thank you!!

everyone is so kind 🥺🥺

[gusty briar]

AC community is very kind EXCEPT when new people do not know picking flowers doesn’t allow you to replant them

[woven drift]

Ac community is kind only on this channel

[tranquil rivet]

Or scammers smh

[gusty briar]

Haven’t met scammers

[tranquil rivet]

Lucky you then haha

[strong scaffold]

or people that leachhh on villagers /items

[gusty briar]

I’m mostly only playing to help others start up or get what they want

[woven drift]

AC community is very kind EXCEPT when new people do not know picking flowers doesn’t allow you to replant them
@gusty briar took me a quick moment to realize that lol

[gusty briar]

It triggers me when I say don’t pick them and people will do it right in front of me

I breed them to give away so all they have to do is ask

[woven drift]

( not from someone else’s island i wouldn’t dare do that i almost cried when i accidentally ran over someone’s flower and i broke )

it*

[tranquil rivet]

I dont mind haha they grow back xd

[misty cape]

Hello! Im new to this and rather new to Animal Crossing! I’m looking for someone on the Northern Hemisphere to come to my island (UK times) and help me to organise it and make it look appealing! Im not sure how it would work, but we’d work it out! I am happy to give 50 Nook Mike Tickets and 250K bells. Please get in touch with me via Instagram: nathan69870 or add me on Nintendo: 2454 1488 1899. Cheers 🙂

[harsh plover]

the front of my island vs the back of my island OMG

[scenic blaze]

@harsh plover literally same

[gusty briar]

That’s different those I just say accidents happen but I had someone pick my whole field and say I thought I’d get more

[minor compass]

wrong chat @misty cape

[misty cape]

😬

I do apologise 🙂

[tranquil rivet]

Ahaha Europeans... xD

[final condor]

some cute areas on my island and reading area I'm woking on

[scenic blaze]

lucky fits so well in my forest 🥺

[stoic niche]

This game is too precious

[zinc hull]

ahh moving all of my flowers onto the beach for terraforming makes my brain hurt

[scenic blaze]

@zinc hull my beaches look exactly like that rn

[gusty briar]

Can a flower self breed? Like if you have one blue and water it will it produce another?

[scenic blaze]

it's called cloning and ya

mine do it all the time after it rains

[tame sun]

@tender harbor those are the worst kind of rivers... you have to get creative with those. Make a pond leading to them?

[vast cradle]

its apparently more efficient than breeding 2 together

[gusty briar]

Bout to yeet a lot of these flowers then

[zinc hull]

When I time traveled a lot my island became over run with flowers

Especially the pansies which I hate because they grow like crazy all over the place

[gusty briar]

Yeah..mums give me ptsd

[minor compass]

PANSIES

[vast cradle]

I have way too many hyacinths

I gave someone 30 for free yesterday because I wanted them gone that bad

[scenic blaze]

my only hybrid islands have been hyacinths so now i'm friggin overrun

[zinc hull]

I have a lot too, they’re pretty but I have too many

[patent sky]

I offloaded 50 cosmo hybrids on my friend a couple weeks ago 😂 she regrets it

[scenic blaze]

50?? lawd i would too

[zinc hull]

My mystery islands are hyacinths and pansies

[bold mirage]

I’ve got tulip hybrids from an island but I’ve managed to breed a hyacinth and a rose

[vast cradle]

I have at least 1 of all flowers except gold roses, but that takes up so much space

[sweet grove]

Before and after, needed to downsize my entrance length

[zinc hull]

I was trying to breed but kinda gave up for now while I’m doing my island

[vast cradle]

I mostly just bought a ton lol

[scenic blaze]

lucky in my airport entrance 🥺

sry for the lucky spam i just got him after mcgibbon accidentally booted him and i'm obsessed

[zinc hull]

@scenic blaze do you take your pictures using the nook phone camera and then do you edit them? They always look so nice!

[sharp stump]

Has anyone done a car parking lot?

[shy cairn]

hi does anyone know the dimensions of every building?

[scenic blaze]

@zinc hull this is just the film filter in the nook phone cam! it looks great during the day and sunset. at night not so much

[agile mantle]

WIP gang

[bold mirage]

@shy cairn Try asking in #game-help-questions❓

[vast cradle]

it says in pinned messages

[zinc hull]

I gotta try and get some pictures of my island, I haven’t really done that yet

[woven drift]

If y’all wanna visit my island and claim extra DIY’s for free lmk 🥰 I got 5 stars too if you want to explore. Except my left side isn’t done. I’ll be adding a nightclub there later today

[trim finch]

can anyone help me finish my rainbow garden?

[vast cradle]

can you make diagonal waterfalls?

[scenic blaze]

@zinc hull i'm addicted to the nook cam honestly, the amount of pictures i spam here pales in comparison to my poor switch storage

diagonal waterfalls no

[vast cradle]

😦

[zinc hull]

The only pictures I have rn are just random ones from when I started

[stray kayak]

@scenic blaze your island looks like a jungle 🥺😍

[scenic blaze]

it's very lush

[stray kayak]

its gorgeous

[scenic blaze]

only the front looks good rn though, the rest of it looks like my hybrids went out of control (they did) and like idk what i want to do with terraforming (i don't)

[hollow horizon]

@trim finch I got you tomorrow. My duplication plots were watered today so I’ll have quite a few for you

[woven drift]

Why is Lucky’s house like this

I guess it makes sense tho

[tropic raft]

Sharing my new psychic area

[vast cradle]

@woven drift wait whats it like?

[tropic nexus]

I wanted to make a market area by redds but I’m not sure what to add/ change

[eager pecan]

does anyone have a link to that town/street that was tokyo themed, and it was super packed, like two level of just vending machines? I think the player/character was a blonde girl with glasses

[dusky pebble]

Need help for my beekeeping area, any suggestions will help. Please DM me! I’m desperate 😉

[heavy summit]

@tropic raft place some useless diy cards on the table

[austere stirrup]

If you terraform ground to have sand, can you plant palm trees on it?

[scenic blaze]

ya

[woven drift]

@vast cradle

[austere stirrup]

Really??!? Whoaaa

[scenic blaze]

i love luckyyyyyyyy

[vast cradle]

wow

sterling's house is a dungeon

[scenic blaze]

changing my discord name to "lucky stan"

[vast cradle]

it looks real cool though

[bold mirage]

What should I add to my orchard? I’ve already got a market area, all fruits and bell trees, plus some (ungrowable) saplings

[scenic blaze]

the fruit cardboard boxes are cute

[woven drift]

@bold mirage benches and swings. Well

[scenic blaze]

and the fruit basket DIY

[bold mirage]

Don’t have any yet but I plan to add them. And I do need to get my hands on more benches

[woven drift]

@bold mirage I can craft iron ones

[bold mirage]

Going for a big orchard/farm theme for it so I’ve got hay bales and also yellow hyacinths to look like crops. I also plan to add a turnip patch

I like it!

[finite anvil]

Outdoor restaurant spaces I struggle with

[woven drift]

Omg cute!!

Love that.

[sly horizon]

any ideas to build the campsite? 😫

[pearl palm]

Which one

[brisk nexus]

@pearl palm top!

[finite anvil]

I think I’m partial to stone pathing

[steep thicket]

⚠️i’m looking for red or blue floor lights pls dms me ⚠️

[woven drift]

Terra cotta

[bold mirage]

@pearl palm I like the bottom because it makes it seem brighter, but I also like the stone!

[brisk nexus]

@steep thicket #flower-plants-trade 🙂 wrong channel

[drifting estuary]

Anyone want to come look? Still WIP, but showing

[scenic blaze]

i am NOT going to that island i want to live

[bleak ore]

Same

[willow elm]

Tried to make a cute city id look good?

[brisk nexus]

thats so cute omg

[near carbon]

asking once more but does anyone know what to do with a 3 block tall space? it’s a long space too so i’m struggling to think of how to use it

[pearl palm]

So the problem is my whole left side of the island is terra cotta and looks SO GOOD, but the right side with the shopping center was stone and im trying to connect the two

[willow elm]

@brisk nexus ty :D,

[brisk nexus]

did this today... how does it look??? idk if i like it or not

[scenic blaze]

i would base it on the decor you plan on having around it. terracotta is nice for a light color palette and the stone works well for natural or dark decor

[near carbon]

i’m a big fan of the stepping stones across rivers!!

[pearl palm]

Prob terra cotta then Bc I’m gonna use a lot of bright flowers

[scenic blaze]

looks cute! i like stepping stone

[rare dragon]

Should I move it?

[lime bobcat]

Does anyone have crafting area/ dig site inspiration?

[brisk nexus]

thanku! the river connects to the beach by my orchard ... i thought the cutoff to the beach was weird and tried to find a way to make it look good Lol!

@rare dragon i like it! what r u putting up there?

[vast frigate]

Anyone have any ideas for what to do with the big beach rocks? I’m not sure how to decorate it

[rare dragon]

Houses

[pearl palm]

Which bridges look good with terra cotta

[scenic blaze]

i'm terrified of CJ spawning on my stepping stones but i don't want to get rid of them

brick bridge

[near carbon]

@vast frigate i made one of mine a lighthouse area

[brisk nexus]

@scenic blaze omg... i didnt think ab that

[woven drift]

They usually don’t or they teleport anyway

[scenic blaze]

i have a bunch in my lake area that i might stick flowers on? idk

[green token]

@vast frigate I have a club on the rocks behind my neighborhood, you could also make a little picnic/date spot or decorate it with fishing items

[scenic blaze]

cj is bugged he doesn't really teleport like the others do

[rare dragon]

@scenic blaze how did you make the paths curved 😦

[vast cradle]

you can just build a temporary land bridge for the day if you really need to

[scenic blaze]

@rare dragon here's an example of one of my curves

[rare dragon]

Thx

[patent sky]

@scenic blaze CJ spawns where he wanna spawn

[vast cradle]

I think im gonna move tanks house here, does it look kinda ok? bottom pic is tanks interior, which is why I put bamboo

[scenic blaze]

OMG nightmare

[woven drift]

Wtf Cj HAHAHA

[woeful loom]

hi i know this is a stretch and very vague but i'm new to this game and i just unlocked all the terraforming stuff and i have no clue what i'm doing when it comes to making my island look as great as all of yours. any general advice/tips/suggestions?

[scenic blaze]

i think that's a really cute spot for that house!

[woven drift]

Howww omg

[patent sky]

Ft. Old downtown lol

[pure nimbus]

@patent sky I found cj here once

[patent sky]

Fully clothed as a power move

[woven drift]

LMAOO

[patent sky]

Omg

[near carbon]

@woeful loom don’t move your houses until you are ABSOLUTELY sure where you want to put them bc terraforming around them can be a PAIN and you don’t wanna have to waste money moving them more than once

[woven drift]

^^^!!!

[scenic blaze]

@woeful loom it's very overwhelming when you think about your whole island looking amazing. you'll want to take it step by step. focus on one thing you want - like a cool airport entrance or something - and work on that for a while until you're satisfied and ready to move on to the next part

[pure nimbus]

Cj always happens to spawn on my little islands

[patent sky]

@woeful loom don't flatten your island unless you have 100% of a plan like a crazy maze or something

[woven drift]

Move them to the beaches first. Then outline ur island

[thick zinc]

@woeful loom there’s a website called happy island designer, which can help you organise where you want stuff etc ! 🙂

[near carbon]

i’ve had to spend around 1 mil on moving houses i think and it’s such a pain

[scenic blaze]

turnips pay for my bad decisions and inability to measure

[near carbon]

i don’t trust myself to invest in stolks

[pure nimbus]

I made a residential area but decided that I wanted my villagers to have a bigger yard so I redid the entire thing😂

[woven drift]

I had to move a house 3x bc it was one square off

[near carbon]

SAME denise it’s so annoying

[woven drift]

Same with my campsite. I think I moved it 5x

I use the paths to make square outlines lmao

[barren swift]

possible design for a future rock garden?

[smoky vortex]

what type of areas do y'all like to put in ur island? for example, an outdoor diner, cemetery, etc.

[barren swift]

mines nature themed so it’s whatever looks naturey

[pure nimbus]

@barren swift maybe a bamboo themed rock garden? That’s what I did with bamboo partitions, lanterns, etc

[woven drift]

Zen stuff cause I’m basic

[near carbon]

i have a campsite island, a bamboo waterfall mountain, a flower meadow around a waterfall pond, a cafe/drinks area with a sitting area, and my main plaza with shopping. and then my neighborhood for villagers

my struggle with AC is trying to find ways to use the small leftover spots from big builds

[vast cradle]

Mines kinda all over the place, like I have nature-y parts but also a rocket launch site

[void saddle]

Anyone got any good ways of arranging villager houses?

[woven drift]

I’m also gonna make a night club pool area later today

[near carbon]

i’ve seen really cute ways of arranging them where some are up on a cliff and some are below so it separates them a bit @void saddle

[shy cairn]

does anyone know each building dimension size> or

[near carbon]

yes @woven drift definitely

[pure nimbus]

@void saddle I did two columns of houses separated by a waterfall

[shy cairn]

like a link to one

[barren karma]

can someone post some strip mall inspiration? or maybe how they've arranged their shops? i only have a small amount of space where i wanna put them, but i can work with w/e!

[vast cradle]

@shy cairn check the pinned messages

[pure nimbus]

@woven drift you need to send a picture of that when you’re done

[barren swift]

@pure nimbus i already have a bamboo garden. plus it’s just gonna have rocks

[woven drift]

@pure nimbus okie I will!!

[pure nimbus]

@woven drift dm it if you can

[woven drift]

I’ll dm you rn so I can save it

[shy cairn]

@vast cradle oh thank you so much i didnt notice it!

[violet needle]

what should I put in this area behind my town hall and shops ?

[near carbon]

i still need ideas for a 3x21 area thats super long horizontally lol

[woven drift]

Snowy lol

[pure nimbus]

@violet needle that moon shaped river is gorgeous

[near carbon]

@violet needle i’m always a sucker for flower forests

[barren karma]

please can someone post their shopping area? :')

[violet needle]

@pure nimbus thank u ! It took so much time lol

[past cloud]

how do people make their minimap and their island both look good what

[vast cradle]

how do people make their minimap and their island both look good what
@past cloud i don't even know how people make 1 look good lol

[near carbon]

@barren karma

[pure nimbus]

How many hours do y’all have because I’m wondering if I’m really bad or I don’t play as much

[near meadow]

What-

[civic lily]

CJ in da water

[scenic blaze]

CJ STRIKES AGAIN

[scarlet olive]

oh my

[woven drift]

WTF CJ!!!

[near meadow]

What is this witchery

[vast cradle]

I have 245 hours

[pure nimbus]

HE JUST WANTS TO SWIM WITH HIS FISH BUDDIES

[near carbon]

i have 225ish haha

[past cloud]

lmaoo CJ likes the fish a bit too much

[pure nimbus]

200 for me

[vast cradle]

my island should be better with that many hours 😦

[near carbon]

i relate

[barren karma]

i have around 300-ish, but a lot was offline so its didnt track---

[near meadow]

Saaame

[oak thunder]

I have 155 hours

[crimson reef]

I have 310 and my island is trash lmaooo

[woven drift]

380 but I always host Celeste while I eat or study lol

[violet needle]

anyone have some cottagecore type areas I could see for inspiration?

[woven drift]

(Me trying to justify)

[pure nimbus]

@woven drift LMAO

[past cloud]

lmaoo

[vast cradle]

whenever I see the word cottage I think cabbage

[woven drift]

But it’s true tho a lot is afk

[past cloud]

cabbage cheese lmao

[scenic blaze]

i have a lot of afk hours too

[oak thunder]

I get really confident and happy that my island looks good and then I watch 5 star island tours on YouTube and I feel shit about my island again😩😂

[near carbon]

i’m so bad at decorating small areas ahhhhh

[pure nimbus]

Ok that’s reassuring. Now I know that I’m not bad I just need more hours

[woven drift]

I finally got a 5 star but I’m not done with one area yet. One area is just emptiness

[vast cradle]

I have a couple hours of just spamming the A button during meteor showers lol

[bleak ore]

I have 280 hours

[pure nimbus]

Well.....not THAT bad

[near carbon]

i’ve had a 5 star for a few days but it does not look good by any means

[woven drift]

@vast cradle SAME LOL

[bleak ore]

I posted some pics earlier from my island....one sec lemme show my progress

[pure nimbus]

I’m at 205 hours and no 5 star yet. Frankly, I never tried to lol

[vast cradle]

I wished on over 200 shooting stars in one night and only got like 30 star frags its so annoying

[woven drift]

It had a limit I believe

[near carbon]

how to lose confidence in your island designing:
step 1: have confidence in it
step 2: come to this chat and see everyone’s amazing designs
step 3: cry

[woven drift]

35 I think

[pure nimbus]

@near carbon true...

[vast cradle]

I'm only at 3 stars with my 245 hours 😦

[gusty briar]

Ooo I like that

[cobalt patrol]

Should i just change up my museum entrance?? The fact that its not centered will bother me

[gusty briar]

That’s some nerd shit right there

[vast cradle]

the only part of my island I actually like is in my house I have an arcade room

[woven drift]

My museum entrance isn’t like everybody’s grand cool one )):

[near carbon]

i hate that we can’t make inclines and bridges 3 wide

[vast cradle]

oh wait I have 4 stars now poggers

[pure nimbus]

POGGERS

[heavy plinth]

I should design an island that is mildlyinfuriating

[woven drift]

I've been trying so hard but I always feel like my island looks terrible :')

[bleak ore]

I based my museum from Lincoln memorial. Just added the bridge in the middle got get extra flare

[gusty briar]

I gave up on looking good and destroyed it all so now it’s just open

[rich tundra]

@gusty briar just make Kansas

[near carbon]

i have no good furniture for designing things im mad.

[covert mica]

Is there any hashtag for free cataloging?

[heavy plinth]

Like a rock garden but 1 rock is 1 tile off

[merry inlet]

I-- I was proud of my island :,)

[barren karma]

i just impulsively placed down my nooks cranny... idk, do you think i can work with this :')

[gusty briar]

Essentially the same as Kansas

[woven drift]

You’ll move that nook’s later

Trust me hahahha

[vast cradle]

@bleak ore please dig up that fossil its bothering me

[woven drift]

I moved mine like 5x tho dw

[bleak ore]

Ah don't worry it's an old pic XD

[gusty briar]

@barren karma yeah you could make it a beach one or just move it

[heavy plinth]

I moved all my buildings to the beach

[barren karma]

ik ik! i just want a pretty area for now

[near carbon]

im lucky that i’ve only had to move my shops a couple times and they’re in a spot where they will never move ever again

[barren karma]

i think im gonna put able sisters next to it, wrap some hedges around it and put some cute deco out

[gusty briar]

Sounds like a good plan

[near carbon]

yes kat

[barren karma]

and if it still doesnt fit... ill die-

[woven drift]

when in doubt make a beach cafe

[gusty briar]

Just know it looks better than mine at the end of the day. Just a little confidence booster

[lime bobcat]

I wish we could move a building and craft a ramp at the same time cuz I moved a house to the top of a cliff without thinking about it and now my villager got stuck up there

[near carbon]

does anyone have any random diy recipes for outside decor items ? i’m struggling tonight with decorating things

you can i thought what

[barren karma]

uhm
when in doubt, hyacinth lamps tbh

[exotic cloud]

Has anyone got any stuff I could decorate my campsite with? Like any wooden items?

[near carbon]

i don’t have purple hyacinths reeee

[sharp stump]

Here’s a draft of my street roads:

[woven drift]

hehe i finished my map!

[vast cradle]

when in doubt spam garden lamps

[near carbon]

oooo

[bleak ore]

Or street lamps

[noble skiff]

Hey guys I haven't unlocked terraforming even yet but I was making my island on this happy island designer program and I wanna know if this would be possible to do ?

[barren karma]

hehe i finished my map!
@woven drift you're so patient.... oh my

[gusty briar]

Umm would have to be more square and blocky

Let me try to make ears in game real quick

[vast cradle]

isabelle wants me to use more fences but Idk how to make them not just look random

[noble skiff]

@gusty briar ahh sick thanks

@vast cradle what i did was made fences for everyone's house and the stores n stuff

[woven drift]

Anybody have a nightclub area? I have some idea of how I wanna do it but I need more ideas );

@woven drift you're so patient.... oh my
@barren karma lol im willing to work on it. at least i won’t have to tear down a lot of my island for it, just building up!

[vast cradle]

@noble skiff I don't have space to do that right now, but I probably will after I move everything around for the 3rd time 🙂

[frail nacelle]

Help!! idk what to do with this big piece of land 😭😭😭

[near carbon]

i used a ton of fences for orchard trees. did groups of 4 trees in a 3x3 square

[merry inlet]

What website is the island map thing on??

[noble skiff]

@merry inlet google happy island designer

[merry inlet]

Tysm :D
