[noble skiff]

[merry inlet]

I had a plan for my island before I knew about terraforming now I'm completely redoing it

[near carbon]

i did the same thing

[woven drift]

mood

[gusty briar]

@noble skiff closest i could get

[past jetty]

This is a wip area! Gonna fill up the levels with hybrid flowers, and the top level will be all of my furniture and stuff. I really like how it turned out!

[merry inlet]

That's awesome!

[woven drift]

jksnwnsn tiny commin in with gorgeous island again

[noble skiff]

@gusty briar thanks so much ! That still looks like an ear so I should be fine :))

[gusty briar]

Agreed will still be cute af

[past jetty]

Lol just trying to fill out all of my extra space, it'll look even better soon.

[woven drift]

keep us updated!!

[past jetty]

I will! My layout is more simple, lemme just get a pic

[near carbon]

everyone has so many rivers but i kinda screwed myself over with them so now idk how to add more back in

[barren karma]

which looks better?

[scenic blaze]

first one

[near carbon]

in the back

[bleak ore]

Those inclines oof I cant do that

[gusty briar]

Bout to yoink that @barren karma

I like that

[near carbon]

inclines and bridges make me so angry

[barren karma]

go ahead lol!! just send a pic when you're done ^_^
i basically did the same and did it in my own way

[raven kindle]

Hi everyone! In an island layout, the brown lines only represent the path?

[gusty briar]

I litterly don’t want to do anything until I figure out how to condense my homes in central to give small town feel

[near carbon]

yes

[barren karma]

if you wanna make it feel small, lots of trees and give each house a tiny individual yard

that was my original plan, but i wanted to have them feel a little bigger

[near carbon]

sir get out of my flowers.

[gusty briar]

Well see it’s where to put them I want every where else to be outdoorsy but have to figure out city to surround it

[near meadow]

@near carbon he wants his butt to smell nice

[barren karma]

in that case, you'll want them in a corner and then you can really surround it

[near carbon]

pretty much any way of putting houses together is better than i have it because mine are too close together and it’d take 1 mil to move them to make more space. so.

[misty rampart]

I’ve got this area free and want to do something cool with it. Anyone got any ideas?

[barren karma]

you could also wrap the river around houses

[pure nimbus]

The real question is why is he wearing sunglasses at night?

[near carbon]

who knows tbh leonardo is wild

[near meadow]

Facts

[primal ginkgo]

Anyone with woodland/forest towns that still have villager houses close together have an pics/tips?

[tame thunder]

I wanna give the area around Ken's house a very evil vibe, and suggestions?

[barren karma]

theyre on a date...

[near meadow]

I wanted to make my island like nature, but nope that didn’t happen-

[near carbon]

omg cute

[near meadow]

Aw

[orchid iron]

i need inspiration. can i see you guys shopping centers/areas.

[violet needle]

[barren karma]

[near meadow]

@scenic blaze why is your island amazing

[woven drift]

ok so i don’t wanna work on my island rn, can i come and visit someone’s island for some inspo. natural vibe please hehe

[scenic blaze]

cuz i only take pics of the good parts lol

[near meadow]

Lmao

[blazing flame]

Does anyone know the MA code for the asphalt custom design? The qr code wont scan for me

[near carbon]

same that’s why i don’t send pics of my island.

bc i only send pics of the good parts

[merry inlet]

This is my current layout, I'm completely changing it but dont have the heart to reset :,)

[near carbon]

i love heart ponds sm

[woven drift]

^

[near carbon]

i made two near my house

[merry inlet]

Same, my island spawned with one and I just made it bigger

[orchid iron]

@scenic blaze i’m inspired 🤩

[near meadow]

If only my resident services wasn’t so darn close to my airport

[near carbon]

i have so many gaps in my island i need help ugh

[merry inlet]

I have the same issue , I hate where it Is

[rancid wraith]

Ive been trying to get the 6th rock in this spot for hours but now i cant find the 6th rock anywhere in my island,, does anyone know why or how this is happening lol (i put mannequins all over my island) jcjsjssj

[near meadow]

It vanished

[woven drift]

OMG THATS SO COOL

[rigid wedge]

@scenic blaze It looks so beautiful!!!!!! ❤️ I am very inspired by the levels, I want to do something similar like that above my resident services

[woven drift]

HOW ?

[near meadow]

It’s super tedious lol

[woven drift]

Anyone have a resident services that is too close to the beach but not infront of the airport?

[opal veldt]

what do you guys think of this area?

[near meadow]

Amazing

[rigid wedge]

@woven drift You have to cover literally every open grass spot on your island except for the 6 for the rocks

[near meadow]

I love the nature

[scenic blaze]

@rigid wedge the levels are so much fun! i love just running around it sometimes. be forewarned that it's a huge waster of inclines though. i used four

[rigid wedge]

@neat niche Oh no. I'm already at like four T_T

I regret giving my museum 2 stairs

[scenic blaze]

@woven drift i do! mine is six blocks from the beach and not overlapping with the airport at all

[near carbon]

y’all have good islands does anyone know how to decorate small spaces ahhhh

[near meadow]

Everytime I see a small space I always think of putting a picnic area

But I already have one

[near carbon]

yeah i want some of those i just don’t have the diys or the furniture in my catalog for it :((

[sturdy jungle]

How is this? Tips and suggestions?

[near meadow]

Love the symmetry

[sturdy jungle]

@near meadow i need it or i’d go crazy but it’s feeling pretty empty

[wanton kernel]

Right or left side for the incline and which style incline?

[paper otter]

Does anyone have any pics or ideas on how to decorate island entrance? My town hall is pretty close to the dock and a little to the side so idk how to work w it :/

[woven drift]

I love him omg

[near carbon]

the entrance to my island is bad so i am no help

i need a lot of star fragments and new DIYs to make my island entrance look how i want

[sturdy jungle]

@paper otter I did this, pretty crowded though so maybe not the best

[wanton kernel]

Which incline and left or right side?

[cursive meadow]

I don't know what to do in the center of the island ... any suggestions?

[rigid wedge]

@sturdy jungle Love the blue!! ❤️

[past jetty]

This is my entrance

[paper otter]

@sturdy jungle that looks awesome!

[sturdy jungle]

@wanton kernel right

[woven drift]

Great Idee for outdoor diner ?

[rigid wedge]

@wanton kernel Maybe brick stairs to match the terracotta?

[woven drift]

I have full set in pink

[wanton kernel]

@rigid wedge Not bad! I was leaning towards left side since my sign is on the right but idk. 😅

[molten sable]

hey

[rich tundra]

@cursive meadow make a farm or a park

[molten sable]

what’s the area of villager houses

[solid fable]

made a lil farm area last night ^^

[near carbon]

omg cutE

[past jetty]

Ooooo the weeds

Great touch

[near meadow]

I feel like I could make this more with trees and nature

[solid fable]

I put transparent tiles around them so the weeds dont spread

[cursive meadow]

I love it

[woven drift]

rainy days in my city ~.~

[rich tundra]

Looks great. My whole island will be a farm (country side theme essentially)

[zinc hull]

I’m running out of bells and I still have my whole island to do

[rich tundra]

I’m literally at 0 so I feel you pain

[near carbon]

i’m running out of will to live while continuing designing my island

[woven drift]

i suggest selling villagers and getting nmts to fill in the plot so u don’t have to worry about unwanted villagers

[zinc hull]

I used like 5 mil on all the bridges, inclines, etc and now I’m tearing it all down

[woven drift]

i sold fauna for 2 mil bells and 20 nmt, spent it all on my city remodeling

[silent bronze]

Hey guys, I'm a little stumped on what to do with the rest of my island design and thought I could ask for your help! Going for a wizard/alchemy academy theme with my house as the main building, and I'll definitely be incorporating mushrooms for that fantasy feel.

[rich tundra]

@woven drift my villagers love me and wanna stay

[cyan cedar]

Im running out of will power to terraform my island

[zinc hull]

I might have to sell a villager

[rich tundra]

Plus my villigers suck lol

[turbid parrot]

Is there any counter furniture that's not the diner counter? My island is themed like a town in the mountains and the diner furniture clashes so hard, but I'd really like a counter seating area for a restaurant

[cursive meadow]

I really love how I set up my campsite,it tooks me a lot of work but I'm really proud of it

[near carbon]

there should be more countertops i believe

[smoky flint]

If you are remodeling and want matching houses, this might help! All I wanted was to know which villagers were candy color with candy color houses 😭

Made this, all in the name of a e s t h e t i c. New link for new file that has interior design column too

https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/gas135/acnh_villager_info_house_appearance_list_updated/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[turbid parrot]

the only other counter i found on nook exchange was the frozen counter 😦

[past jetty]

Oh! Before I forget, I'm doing a little island tour! Still not 5 stars so don't expect anything amazing, but some areas could give you a little inspiration that I can't show in pictures. Just dm me if you want to come!

[rich tundra]

@cursive meadow I’d be happy to camp there

[near carbon]

i had a camper visit me recently and was very happy c: bc it was one of the eagles

[rich tundra]

Ooh which one? I have Buzz and he’s great

[near carbon]

Pierce :))

[sturdy jungle]

my campsite is one of the areas im proudest of

[zinc hull]

I’m literally running out of room on the beach to put houses while I do my island

[rich tundra]

Another great one!

[molten sable]

does anyone know area of a villager’s house?

[scenic blaze]

@molten sable the dimensions are in the pinned messages in this channel

[molten sable]

@scenic blaze thank you

[scenic blaze]

yw!

[near carbon]

rn on my island my biggest issues are finding ways to use my beaches and small areas in the mainland. and figure out if i can make my rivers any better.

[merry inlet]

Can someone send some of their river layouts? I'm tryna figure out some cool ones but I'm getting frustrated lmao

[tepid sierra]

any good tips on getting the villager's homes/other buildings to place exactly where you want them?

[steep epoch]

My campsite fire pit

[near carbon]

don’t cedar trees only grow on a certain part of the island? or can you plant saplings for them anywhere?

[scenic blaze]

@tepid sierra place paths in the shape of the house. if you don't have terraforming yet, use fences, and place the house in the corner of the fence

cedar trees grow anywhere in this game 🙂

[kindred yarrow]

@near carbon anywhere

[heavy summit]

Not on the side of rivers

[mystic minnow]

My disappointment is immeasurable

[near carbon]

POG i heard when it came out it was only the top half of your island

[tepid sierra]

@scenic blaze thank you!!! Will work on that

[scenic blaze]

it used to be like that in the old games but they changed it

[tawny glacier]

@mystic minnow just terraform the cliff one more tile back

[scenic blaze]

yw!!

[true burrow]

i'm really conflicted with what path to use, any opinions ?

[mystic minnow]

@tawny glacier the airport is the problem sadly

[woven drift]

@true burrow the lighter one!

[heavy summit]

Terracotta

[tawny glacier]

@mystic minnow i know, if the bridge is too close just move the cliff 1 tile to the north so it will fit

[strong scaffold]

@true burrow terracotta

[heavy summit]

Black and dark red dont mix

[tawny glacier]

shave it by one tile

[mystic minnow]

I want it in that spot tho hahahah

[tawny glacier]

too bad lol

[near carbon]

does anyone have small areas of their island decorated that they’d be willing to send pics of?

or beaches

[true burrow]

i plan on adopting out lucky so the house colors don't really matter to me, i just feel like terra cotta might be too light

[tawny glacier]

@near carbon dobie's little resort

[sharp stump]

Does anyone have any CAR PARKING/ GAS STATION inspiration? I’ve seen the old ones

[scenic blaze]

@near carbon old but here

[true burrow]

and i don't like how stone looks

[woven drift]

better high quality pics of my city hehe

[patent sky]

.

[near carbon]

ty guys !! the inspo rly helps 🥺

[strong scaffold]

@true burrow try dirt maybe

[patent sky]

Wrong rachel I'm sorry!!

[near carbon]

rip the other rachel

[zinc hull]

@patent sky I really like how you used the valiant statue in the last pic! that’s my favorite statue in the game rn

[hidden gyro]

My parking area (I haven't dealt with the rock yet because I'd like to get all my rocks in one area)

My parking area (I haven't dealt with the rock yet because I'd like to get all my rocks in one area)

[scenic blaze]

sorry but i lol'd at the rock

otherwise it looks cute so far! i really like the ufo

[arctic cipher]

can I have an idea for a outside design for the museum?

[sharp stump]

My parking area (I haven't dealt with the rock yet because I'd like to get all my rocks in one area)
@hidden gyro I’ve been looking for inspo

[zinc hull]

What do you guys do with your trees when terraforming? I have a bunch of fruit trees and don’t know where to put them

[sharp stump]

This is my draft now and it’s really sucky. Hahahaha I need inspooo

[scenic blaze]

trees + terraforming is suffering

my pockets end up full of trees for days until i bite the bullet and sell them

[zinc hull]

yes

[scenic blaze]

at this point i just chop them down, i figure i can always grow more if i happen to run out (not likely i have a LOT)

[near carbon]

would anyone be willing to come to my island and take a long at some spots and suggest some things i could decorate them using?

[ebon carbon]

...I cut all mine down LOL rip earth week

[zinc hull]

I might just try and place them wherever I can that is convenient for now

[scenic blaze]

saving that one lulu

[merry inlet]

If I was to run a river directly though 2 mountains would that look stupid?

[zinc hull]

Mainly just fruit trees though, I don’t really care about the normal ones right now

[scenic blaze]

yeah i used to dump them in empty areas.... but then i started working on those areas.... and the cycle repeats

[arctic cipher]

can i have inspiration for the outside of the museum?

[patent sky]

Lowkey about to open my island just to 1. Have people take these DIYs and 2. Show off museum gardens bc omg it took 6-7 hours

[frigid basalt]

can anyone come to my island and give me some ideas on what to do?? (terraforming, moving buildings, decor etc.)

[near carbon]

pls lulu i’ll visit

[merry inlet]

Lulu I would love yo drop by!

[patent sky]

Okay haha I'll open in 10

[spare crater]

Have this old layout thing I had for my house but idk what to put here now or just take it all down and put something else idkkk

[steep epoch]

Check out my custom moss overlay for your natural paths

[scenic blaze]

i need to finish my island so i can host a diy giveaway

my house is full!!!! i'm suffering!!!

[storm osprey]

i spent 7 hours terraforming today frhdjsi

[scenic blaze]

it be like that

[hidden gyro]

@sharp stump I think it's coming along nicely! Think adding the parking lines makes a difference but I like your asphalt!!

[sharp stump]

@sharp stump I think it's coming along nicely! Think adding the parking lines makes a difference but I like your asphalt!!
@hidden gyro yeah it’s just a draft cause I have a hard time putting down layouts without seeing it with furniture! 😄 thanks

[woven drift]

@steep epoch Great idea

[zinc hull]

You know what I’m just going to sell the trees because I can’t even decide on a place to put them

[storm osprey]

I FELT THAT

[hallow valve]

i need some ideas for my island’s beaches hhhh
i dont know what else to do
my island doesnt have any particular theme to be honest, it’s just whatever fits
perhaps a home away from home theme?
i just need some help with making my beaches look nice lol

[steep epoch]

@woven drift I have the 2nd part posted on my design ID, thanks

[manic lantern]

Finally fixing my campsite. And adding more terraforming to it. Wish me luck lol

[merry inlet]

Can I get some suggestions for the rivers or mountains ?

[woven drift]

Some of my fav places on my island! Tried to make most of my very short island entrance

[manic lantern]

That heart is insane

[burnt minnow]

@woven drift your island looks so sweet!

[manic lantern]

And tustve required a lot of patience

[dull flower]

What are the requirements for 5 star island

[cursive meadow]

I love it

[past jetty]

5 stars seems elusive but I'm getting there for sure

[terse terrace]

it's really just a lot of furniture

[woven drift]

@dull flower LOTS of patience. Tysm!!

[delicate shale]

Which one do you think looks better? I’m trying to have a bridge go across

[near carbon]

i’ve been on today since i got up at like 10 so that means i’ve been playing animal crossing for almost 10 hours today.

[terse terrace]

sounds normal

[past jetty]

I say the second but you could do something interesting with 1

[delicate shale]

ok ty

[past jetty]

Omg

[terse terrace]

tfw I spent so much time terraforming the waterfalls with trees behind ables shop and u can't see it unless u tilt the camera

[past jetty]

So good! That terraforming is amazing!

[terse terrace]

thank you so much! I spent like 10+ hours on this but it's so rewarding :))

[civic anvil]

Does anyone know a way to make it look like there are columns in the game? I want to go for a Roman forum vibe around my plaza

[sharp quarry]

my island looks so good in person but the map looks AWFUL

[past jetty]

Cliffs maybe? Just one tile of cliff and it might look like a column if you use your imagination

[tawdry tide]

@sharp quarry tbf the look of the map doesnt really matter imo

[civic anvil]

I might do that then use the divider thing to make it look like a column

[manic lantern]

going to be using that waterfall image for some inspo 🙂 thank you Kim for sharing ❤️

[gentle peak]

omfg @terse terrace YOUR ISLAND IS SO NICE

[terse terrace]

personally. I use the map to measure if I have too much of something. like water.

THANK YOU! I'm very excited to invite people over when I'm done ^^

[manic lantern]

@terse terrace Would you mind please sharing those stone paths I've been on a journey to find that exact pattern pleasee

[tall oar]

Anyone have a city layout done with terraforming? Would love to see some photos for inspo!

[terse terrace]

sure thing! I actually got it from someone in this channel this morning

[manic lantern]

city with terraforming sounds extra challenging lol

[serene peak]

does anybody have a cool secret beach design?

[terse terrace]

https://i.imgur.com/zMnCvP2.jpg

[zinc hull]

I just chopped all the trees down instead

[manic lantern]

I wish you could get a drone in this game and take top down shots of your entire island

Thank you Kim ❤️

[barren karma]

should i move this back one tile, or keep it here?

[dapper ginkgo]

anyone else’s island look best at 5pm? The 𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰✨

[manic lantern]

everyones island haha

I TT and love setting it up to that time when people visit

[barren karma]

anyone have any thoughts on me moving it back or anything? :?

idk which will look best if im making a strip thing

strip mall, sorry

[minor silo]

bro how does everyone have a good island layout- my town hall is close by the airport but i dont wanna reset because my villagers are already good 😭

[meager seal]

Ok but the filters make it look 10x better

[manic lantern]

My little private diner spot. Ignore the blue Rose's lol

[cinder meadow]

@minor silo this is my entrance bc of the same situation as u lol

[woven drift]

I’m terraforming again 😭 send prayers pls and thank u

[manic lantern]

Beautiful entrance love the double bridge

[dapper ginkgo]

I feel like my entrance is super extra, I put a bunch of flowers

[minor silo]

Nice!

[manic lantern]

@cinder meadow do you mind sharing the QR code for the fertilizer soil pleasee

[minor silo]

sadly i cant do that kind of entrance because of my TOWN HALL

[manic lantern]

my residents services is too close to add something nice like a double waterfall lol

[minor silo]

@manic lantern same 😭

[cinder meadow]

@manic lantern sure! but it's a creator ID, they have a ton of different kinds of soils like that. I'll post it in #path-codes

[sharp stump]

@manic lantern you can add a waterfall elsewhere

[somber swallow]

I regretfully chose this layout and have the museum way too close and off center to the airport. I don't like how these waterfalla turned out. Any suggestions about what to do with this space instead?

[manic lantern]

those waterfalls are dope

[minor silo]

@somber swallow i think we have the exact same layout

[reef citrus]

anyone got any orchard inspos 👉🏽👈🏽

[meager seal]

How do I even upgrade the museum

[somber swallow]

@minor silo what did you do with your entrance? 😭 I need inspo

[cinder meadow]

@manic lantern did u mean the soil in the entrance?? I used terraforming!

[merry inlet]

Can some peoppe send some photos of their maps? I need some inspo for river layouts n styff

[near carbon]

i just finished moving houses today and i already want them more spread out i am going to cry.

[twilit gazelle]

I wish u can move town hall😫

[green zenith]

@meager seal bring a piece of art to Blathers; the first one Redd sells you, on land, is always real

[cinder meadow]

@minor silo u can do that entrance, it's literally the reason why I posted it because my airport is also one block away from town hall

[patent sky]

Here's chaos o' clock

[minor silo]

hold on ill show u @somber swallow

[manic lantern]

Here's some "My Res Service is too damn close" inspo

[merry inlet]

Omg lulu your map is nuts

[somber sapphire]

is my entrance nice or too much?

[cinder meadow]

@patent sky oh god LMFAOOO

[near carbon]

bro i love that

[minor silo]

Thats cool!

[cinder meadow]

@somber sapphire#730 omg so cool

[near carbon]

that’s the perfect amount of extra for an island entrance

[twilit gazelle]

Mine town hall is right I front of entrance

[cinder meadow]

@twilit gazelle lucky

[somber sapphire]

thanksss 🥰🥰🥰

[twilit gazelle]

How

[merry inlet]

I'm so jealous of everyone's islands :((

[twilit gazelle]

It’s so annoying

[patent sky]

Hahah ty guys it's not that chaotic in person I swear

[green zenith]

@heady cedar have you seen the guides to move your town's rocks wherever you want them?

[manic lantern]

Yeah that entrance is really nice I love how its 2nd level

[near carbon]

i saw that post yesterday and i refuse to listen

[minor silo]

@somber swallow here's my entrance- im planning on redoing it idk :/

[terse terrace]

money trees

[minor silo]

Same rachel HAHAHHA

[zinc hull]

Encouraging words

[tawdry moat]

What should I put in this 11x11 area? It’s on the right of my entrance and I wanna make it look really nice :)

[near carbon]

like no absolutely not i’ve put over 200 hours into this game and my island is still ugly and i’m so unhappy with it LOL

[clever minnow]

My island has everything except a proper entrance

[terse terrace]

okay this is a real question :
when you guys use money trees to decorate, do you plant the bare minimum of bells to prevent people from stealing ur bells?

[near carbon]

i’ve never used them to decorate

[green zenith]

Wait @somber sapphire can you pave natural inclines?

[somber swallow]

@minor silo that looks so cute! Your town hall isnt too close to the airport

[clever minnow]

@somber swallow The guy left of ur pfp literally looks like me btw

[green zenith]

@terse terrace could also just surround them with hedge/fence

[somber sapphire]

@green zenith it’s not a natural incline, it’s just an illusion of being on the second level

[twilit gazelle]

Can u move ur mail box?

[crude harness]

me : works on one small part of my island for days and is super proud of it
rest of island : v o i d

[minor silo]

@terse terrace i surround them with fence

[brittle crescent]

Yes u can move mailbox

[green zenith]

ohhh that's some escher level stuff

[dreamy cliff]

Sigh it doesn’t work the bridge don’t like it too close to the house now I’m 400k wasted lol

[frozen ore]

You only get 30k max out of the trees i put 99k in one and got only 30 out

[somber swallow]

@clever minnow lmao thats my bf! I guess he has a doppelganger now

[near carbon]

close the river by one on each side

[terse terrace]

@green zenith @minor silo that's petty gimme ur bells 👀

[somber sapphire]

only the flowers buds are on second level

[zinc hull]

@dreamy cliff I think if you go to Tom nook you can cancel the bridge. As long as you don’t place it

[green zenith]

@dreamy cliff bring down the land on the left side to match the right and then make a plaza on either side so the road fits

[crude harness]

tfw you find out it's only max 8 inclines and bridge each

[zinc hull]

I’ve also closed without saving to put the bridge elsewhere

[clever minnow]

Here’s what a part of my island looks like 👀

[manic lantern]

Honestly my island isnt the best but its like she said all you could do is all you could do

[near carbon]

i only have 2 inclines and 1 bridge lol

[manic lantern]

just make sure you're doing all that you can when building your island

some people are just naturally gifted with creativity

[near carbon]

2 inclines 1 bridge and 5 stars babyyyyyy

[clever minnow]

The moment u already have 8 inclines and can’t get a 9th, feels bad man...

[manic lantern]

and you have to realize these people that create amazing islands also do stuff like fashion designing or professional photography IRL

[crude harness]

i feel you so hard evan

[mortal wolf]

I’m looking to see if anyone would be interested in helping me design a layout for my town? I’m willing to pay NMT

[zinc hull]

@near carbon how??? I literally need more than 8 😭

[somber swallow]

@crude harness wait 8 in total or 8 each? 😲

[near carbon]

with all those inclines tho you gotta have some cool stuff going on so at least ur island is probably rly pretty

[terse terrace]

just use the in-game Microsoft paint to make your bridge @clever minnow

[crude harness]

@somber swallow 8 bridges and 8 inclines max

[near carbon]

@zinc hull i only have two areas that are cliffs that i go on really and only one has inclines rn lol

my other cliffs are all for waterfalls and decor

[zinc hull]

my island is supposed to be mountains so I’m struggling, I need more than 8

[warm forge]

How do i make this look nicer? I cant hide the greens. I cant make the fence close to the waterfall. Should i just give up? Or no fence looks better.

[brittle crescent]

poor mans bridge: tiny land island in the river u can jump on

[near carbon]

that’s exactly what i do @brittle crescent i’ve been called out

[crude harness]

honestly working on ur island feels more like something spontaneous than planned
you can plan some stuff but in the end you just end up improvising and going with the flow of how things are going

[brittle crescent]

lmao yeah I can’t afford bridges

[clever minnow]

This is the only area where I used a lot of waterfalls for my museum

[terse terrace]

I was going to do that then I thought about the title of the game "animal crossing" @brittle crescent

[near carbon]

my animals do not get to cross. they must stay

[brittle crescent]

no crossing😤😤on my island

[crude harness]

90% of my island is empty/a mess, the only nice area is my museum

[terse terrace]

that's funny I'm going for something like that but assymetrical and the path to the museum is diagonal @clever minnow

[tawdry moat]

Would this place be good for a marketplace? Idk how the stalls layouts would look nice though

[indigo summit]

@dreamy cliff just move it down from the house

[dreamy cliff]

@near carbon nope, doesn’t work
@zinc hull I had a bridge 2 blocks down, and I asked someone yesterday if it’s possible to move it up and people were like yes
So I destroyed the original one
Hence 400k down

[near carbon]

ugh that’s so annoying i’m sorry

[prime tusk]

Updated work in progress. We got the residential area planned out and am now moving houses. Would say about 60-70% done with the overall layout now 🙂

[brittle crescent]

I also removed my rivers yesterday to clear the land for terraforming so there’s no fresh water so therefore we are all gonna die of starvation

[hybrid lantern]

anyone have pics of their island entrance? i need insipration :<

[brittle crescent]

dehydration*

I’m stoopid

[terse terrace]

dab island looks like a ballsack

[near carbon]

water starvation

[zinc hull]

oooh

[manic lantern]

does anyone have a gym on there beach

[near carbon]

yeah but it’s not organized @manic lantern

[manic lantern]

@near carbon can I see im in dying need of inspo

[somber swallow]

@hybrid lantern this was my entrance before i took it down because it was off center with the town hall

[rugged quest]

How’s my entrance? Too much?

[hybrid lantern]

aww that's nicee

[terse terrace]

I think the park trees are off putting but it looks nice besides that

palm*

[rugged quest]

How’s my entrance? Too much?
@rugged quest
Bunnie with the photobomb 😅

[manic lantern]

@rugged quest I love how the waterfalls are facing the entrance

[charred mica]

I have no idea how to connect my river mouths together and still have things look good

[woven drift]

Update on the nightclub area I’m trynna make so far

[manic lantern]

I dont even use my river mouths lol

[zinc hull]

I really wish I had a west river mouth but I have two south

[rugged quest]

@terse terrace what should I put to replace the trees? It feels empty without any fixture

[rain prawn]

@woven drift I really like it

[manic lantern]

Keep the trees

[woven drift]

@rain prawn ty :3 I’m trynna make everything in this area pink

Struggling with what flooring to use tho ):

[rain prawn]

I love pink so I approve 💖

[primal ginkgo]

I used my river mouth just because I want my town to be cute but also function all year round

[patent sky]

Ooo pink

[dense wedge]

[terse terrace]

you can try actual trees. or a stone arch @rugged quest

[primal ginkgo]

Oooo themed areas!!!

[woven drift]

@dense wedge those look nice!!!

[mystic steeple]

How do you get trees in forest areas to look natural? Mine keep falling into diagonal rows every time I try :')

[rugged quest]

@terse terrace actual trees don’t fit 😩

[patent sky]

Plant in a diamond shape

[hollow horizon]

For anyone questioning themselves and saying your island will never come together.. it took me the better part of a day to be content with my campsite

[woven drift]

Should I just use the hardwood paths for the nightclub lol

[primal ginkgo]

I didn’t know that butterfly model was so massive that’s crazy

[rain prawn]

I’ve been redoing my layout and my island looks rough rough

[terse terrace]

a stone arch would be perfect then @rugged quest

[dense wedge]

That's the queen Alexandra butterfly yeah, the biggest one@primal ginkgo

[light flax]

Anyone else got this weird bit of land?

[rain prawn]

@woven drift you can probably find a cute pink qr path!!

[primal ginkgo]

@mystic steeple dig the holes before planting! Then you can move them a lot more easily ^^

[terse terrace]

everyone @light flax

[light flax]

O

[woven drift]

@rain prawn I’m trynna look for a light wood qr path!

[somber swallow]

@light flax i think it would make for a cute picnic area

[dense wedge]

Only that one and the red moth are that big, the others are pretty average size or a lil more than their real one

[rain prawn]

@woven drift ooh that’ll look so good

[frozen ore]

Used some inspo from online for my house entry way

[patent sky]

@light flax I made mine part of the boardwalk

[dense wedge]

Also these if anyone may be interested idk

[woven drift]

Love the ice sculptures

[light flax]

@patent skythats so cute! I haven't a clue what to do with mine yet

[frozen ore]

Check my vid i sent pls!! Love some feedback

[somber swallow]

@dense wedge looks awesome!

[frozen jolt]

Some help i need island inspo for everything nooks cranny able sisters museum and even the campsiteim really at a block

[woven drift]

Was trynna go for a boardwalk vibe but became a market lol

[brittle crescent]

@woven drift do u have a code for the planet pattern??

[stoic patrol]

@woven drift That happened to mine too

[dense wedge]

@frozen jolt best help I can give if trying hard to get your own ideas. Every time something pops in your mind do it, it'll turn super nice eventually or bad and you'll try again. But being original is what makes stuff stand out in my opinion

[woven drift]

@brittle crescent Sabel gives it to you!

[kindred yarrow]

Any ideas of what to put where? I'm clueless atm haha

[brittle crescent]

ah thank you!!

[woven drift]

Talk to Sabel everyday until she opens up

[light flax]

I wish we could make land bridges u could wall underneath

[dense wedge]

@kindred yarrow either a museum area or a big forest area for the campsite

[terse terrace]

yea. also making ur island look nice usually does not work the first time. people who have nice islands usually renovate it for the second or third time @frozen jolt

[frozen jolt]

@dense wedge iv tried that 3 times and im still having bad time iv come out with a layout i like tho!

[dense wedge]

Yeah like I personally had a 5 star island then broke it all down and built it again

[terse terrace]

that's tough buddy @frozen jolt

[dense wedge]

I'm at like 450 hours in right now and I'm honestly kinda proud of how it looks

[blazing sorrel]

can people post their shopping districts! in need of some inspo! 🙂

[dense wedge]

You just need to try hard for it!

[swift marsh]

I’m at 50, sooooo behind rip

[languid tundra]

anyone got a waterfall airport entrance to share ?

[vast cradle]

I wish you could put trees and flowers in storage

[swift marsh]

Ooooooo yeah I’m thinking about having a waterfall at my airport

[vast cradle]

like it makes sense that you cant but it would be useful

[frozen jolt]

@dense wedge so they layout i have is a bit wonky i like it tho i used the island designer thing

[woven drift]

The light wood I found that I like has like 12 QR codes RIP

[languid tundra]

@swift marsh i’m tryna build one now but struggling with ideas

[frosty raven]

anyone have some neighborhood ideas to share?

[vast cradle]

They do not give nearly enough design slots

[rugged quest]

Yeah it does look better with an arch instead of trees

[terse terrace]

THEY REALLY DO NOT @vast cradle

[frosty raven]

im trying to figure out how to make a nice and compact one to save space without it looking wonky

[warm forge]

How to destroy or change an incline?

[pure quest]

anybody got some atlantis island vibe ideas?

[frozen ore]

@languid tundra

[swift marsh]

Ahhh that’s pretty

[dense wedge]

@frozen jolt that's not bad actually. The roads kinda feel messy, but overall you can make really cool areas with that setup mainly if you're aiming for your island to look super natural

[zinc hull]

@warm forge talk to Tom nook about infrastructure and you have the opportunity to demolish something

[vast cradle]

@warm forge talk to tom nook about layouts and inclines and he gives you the option to demolish something

oh oops

[warm forge]

Ty

[zinc hull]

haha

[languid tundra]

that is beaut@frozen ore

[woven vortex]

Anyone have a 5 star island i can tour i need inspiration just DM me.

[dense wedge]

My entrance is this big ass maze lol, no waterfalls or special stuff, just triggering visitors

[frozen ore]

Thank you! @languid tundra if you need bamboo shoots i have 10

If anyone needs bamboo shoots or any fruit lmk got it all

[frozen jolt]

@dense wedge yea i dont wanna have water falls all over the place even if it does look cool iv tided up the paths in my actual island but im struggling to decorate the ares (the shops and stuff) i also wanna add in a market and like a cafe but i have no clue where to put that!!

[languid tundra]

Thank you! @languid tundra if you need bamboo shoots i have 10
@frozen ore that would be brill if i can !

[frozen jolt]

@dense wedge entrance is amazing

[woven drift]

@ nintendo more design slots pls thank you

[dense wedge]

I've personally made the Ables shop into a pink shell themed cafe area since there is no real cafe in game

[woven drift]

ON GODDD I need more slots

[frozen jolt]

I need more slots too!!

[dense wedge]

For the Market you can just make a big area around the Nook shop with stands outside and such

You just need to decorate it a lot

[woven drift]

I’m trynna find a good light wood QR code rn but it’s a struggle bc I don’t wanna delete my others

I’ll send my market for ideas

[rugged quest]

Anyone has a plaza with teacups?

[frozen jolt]

@dense wedge whenever i do that it looks a mess i think im bad at open area layout

[zinc hull]

I didn’t realize how little slots we have and I’ve already filled them all

[rugged quest]

I wanna put teacups in my shopping area but I’m struggling how to incorporate it

[dense wedge]

LOL I can't tell how much I relate to that honestly. Tried so hard to finally make a forest area that looks natural cause everything I do is like perfectly symmetric or on spot since the OCD would hurt me otherwise

[frozen jolt]

Can i have some inspo!

[frozen ore]

@languid tundra check dm

[dense wedge]

It ended up like this in the end

[frozen jolt]

Omg i get u

[dusk fjord]

I want to make a cool place for my lily of the valley, but i’m not sure what to do!

[frozen jolt]

Wow that amazing yea I really struggle but im trying so hard yet all my slots are filled and i wanna add so many more designs!!

[woven drift]

Should add waterfalls to my museum entrance like everyone else lol

[zinc hull]

@dense wedge I keep trying to do natural areas but they just keep coming out symmetric, it’s very annoying lol

[vast cradle]

I feel like the trick to making asymmetry look good is to have it clear that it was on purpose, and not just like you messed up

i'm bad at that tho so idk

[brisk nexus]

yall like this or no

[steel junco]

I gotta be honest I’m not a huge fan of the waterfalls by entrances to things...

[dense wedge]

My spots are filled just due to my music room at home lmao, but I just used default paths for most of the stuff so I don't really miss those extra slots much personally

[ocean meadow]

I like the red iron stairs more than I thought I would

[frozen jolt]

Yes thats cool

[terse terrace]

@steel junco same

[woven drift]

Ok how do we feel about that QR code for this area

[zinc hull]

I think with what I’ve redone so far it isn’t that bad, the mountains look more natural

[rugged quest]

I need bigger statues lol

[woven drift]

Cause if not I can find something else

[vast cradle]

ok so tank is going here but I feel like I should do a bit more to make it look good

[frozen jolt]

@woven drift i fee if u have a light path put dark ascents around it or the other way around!

[dense wedge]

By the way this could be a good entrance idea if set up properly. Idk if anyone is looking for this kind of ideas

[tepid flicker]

for those of you who have paths and items everywhere do you get any bugs?

[terse terrace]

@woven drift I really choose my qr carefully. imo that qr looks very flat

[dense wedge]

Not my island tho ^

[woven drift]

Should I just use the regular dark wood that comes with the island designer app

[hybrid lantern]

i just keep going back to this video for inspiration 😭 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sezjCZEKUEc&list=LLuzm2oCwwvKLIQbyj6dGRXg&index=5&t=196s

[tame thunder]

@vast cradle i have tank and i recommend using more bamboo stuff for his house, i think he'd like it

[woven drift]

Okay thanks I’m struggling to find some good light wood QR code

[steel junco]

ok so tank is going here but I feel like I should do a bit more to make it look good
@vast cradle maybe add some weeds? Or a bamboo stool or two

[quartz bear]

guys can someone help i have no idea how to design my island

[frozen jolt]

No id say if u can find a nice flat one look on Twitter they have good paths!!

[mossy parcel]

does anyone have a villager housing area inspo,, i decided to redo my entire island lmaoo

[vast cradle]

ok should I remove the river or pool or something to make room? hitboxes in this game are ridiculously big

[rose mason]

The museum is my favorite building! 🤩Anything else I could add? Feels like it’s missing something

[frozen jolt]

@fossil pelican samee

[quartz bear]

how do i even begin to design my island?

[woven drift]

No one knows. You just start

[quartz bear]

what does that mean

[fossil pelican]

what i didnt say anything @frozen jolt

[zinc hull]

Ahhh I wish there was an easier way to get rid of paths

[rose mason]

I started by laying paths

[zealous pendant]

@woven drift I literally passed out 😂😂

[proud inlet]

Im pretty sure eventually im going to have to move EVERYTHING and im dreading that

[mossy parcel]

i started by getting rid of all my rivers and agh it took forever

[woven drift]

@zealous pendant good you finally actually slept HAHA

[steel junco]

@quartz bear I’ll echo what others have said in here before - make it somewhere you’d like to live!

[tame thunder]

yeah probably start by getting rid of all the cliffsides and/or rivers

[woven drift]

Also @zealous pendant what were did you use for your diner again on the panels

[tame thunder]

once you get to 3 stars of course lol

[woven drift]

I’m gonna just start using the dark wood path and see how that looks

[zealous pendant]

The QR code’s?

[terse terrace]

bruh I don't get why people start with a clean slate when they already don't know what to do

that's like. clean slate squared

[mossy parcel]

lmao me rn oops

[woven drift]

@zealous pendant May I see how it looks like again cause I’m making a club/diner but in pink

[quartz bear]

i'd like to live pretty much anywhere though. but it'd be nice if it looked nice. but i don't know what that means or how to achieve that

[zinc hull]

@quartz bear do you have theme set in mind? I’m doing a mountain/nature theme and it’s a little bit easier to do things

[woven drift]

Thank you!!

[blazing sorrel]

does anyone have cute orchid ideas for fruit trees

[woven drift]

I didn’t know I needed that last one but I do

[quartz bear]

i don't have a theme set in mind. i can't actually see a theme with any of my recipes/furniture that i picked up that goes beyond a few furniture items

[woven drift]

I don’t rly have a theme either. Well I have themed areas but not a themed island

[zealous pendant]

Sameeee

[kindred yarrow]

anyone have an idea of what furniture etc to put over here?

[terse terrace]

islands with unusually specific themes don't look good imo

[zinc hull]

I wouldn’t let that limit you, I don’t have that many items to go with my theme. I’m going to most likely buy things from people

[woven drift]

I have a zen garden but also a nightclub lmaoooo very different

[kindred yarrow]

its the secret beach thing

[zealous pendant]

I have a cemetery, flower field, carnival, street food market, zen / spa garden, diner, tiki bar, surf bar

Oh a mushroom heart pond

[woven drift]

Ppl with an island theme make it look so nice and symmetrical which I like. But others with diff themed areas are fun to explore in

[rugged quest]

@rose mason maybe some flowers or shrubs

[quartz bear]

even if i get all of those themed areas, how would i organize them? there's so much space to fill and spreading it out everywhere just looks like a disorganized mess

[terse terrace]

I love having blathers assess 30 fossils and only have one be new

[zealous pendant]

It’s not that disorganized

[terse terrace]

you just start. build. rebuild. and keep doing that @quartz bear

[candid plover]

hey, i’m looking for someone to commission! i’m the worst at making maps and i’d love for someone to make one for me. you’ll be paid of course, nmt or bells! dm me if you’d be interested!!

[woven drift]

You start. Feel like you ruined it. Cry. Then you just keep going bc it’s too late to back out

[terse terrace]

is it really ur island when you let others make ur layout lmao

[zinc hull]

I’m honestly doing the layout first and then decorating. Im going to place all the houses and things and then go into detail. That’s how I prefer to do it, everyone does things different

[quartz bear]

you know i actually think my problem is less with design and more with layout

[terse terrace]

you learn these things by playing the game. don't doubt urself and just play

[zealous pendant]

There’s literally no mistakes in making layouts

[terse terrace]

I mean ngl. things can look shitty but that's why this game has so much replayability. you learn and change

[vast cradle]

My process is doing something somewhere, not liking it and giving up halfway through, then doing the something else somewhere else and giving up, then getting rid of the first thing and starting the process over

[clever plank]

What have u guys done with your piers? I made a lil reading area

[woven drift]

Ok how do we feel about this path for this area

[pure quest]

so when you guys start your layouts, do you flatten the whole island or ?

[terse terrace]

no dont

[clever plank]

NO

[terse terrace]

especially if u don't know what you're doing. dont

[zinc hull]

You also might have to try things out and see what you like. I did my whole island and finished it but yesterday I realized I want to change my theme and whole island and that’s what I’m doing rn

[clever plank]

Also pay attention to your rivers please dont ruin them you'll hate the game

[pure quest]

... what the hell am i suppose to do then lmaoooo

[vast cradle]

is this any better for tank’s house area?

not much different still

[woven drift]

Yes

[hexed snow]

yes

[terse terrace]

just play the game. imagine u don't have discord or internet lol

[proper moat]

can somebody show me their resident living areas? it’s the hardest thing for me to figure out

[hearty ibex]

@tender harbor 8 and 8

[terse terrace]

there's too many people asking where to start and the answer is the same for everyone: play the game

[pure quest]

alright guess i’m bouta minecraft the shit outta this

[hearty ibex]

@tender harbor so 8 of each are allowed

[quartz bear]

so should i like, fill in my rivers, take away the bridges/inclines, and then make a river that i like better?

[woven drift]

@proper moat I make mine depending on how their house is

[proper moat]

@woven drift i mean like the island layout of houses but that is super cool

[zinc hull]

tbh just do whatever you want to do and have fun, don’t let people tell you otherwise or rely on their opinion

[quartz bear]

@terse terrace we don't know what that means, that's why we're asking. we're asking where to start because we don't know where to start

[woven drift]

Ribbot’s house on the other hand lol

[proper moat]

RIBBIT u lucky duck

[terse terrace]

bruh if that question was answerable. we would have a guide on it

[clever plank]

Just don't ruin your rivers until you have a plan for your island, making them look good again if you ruin them is hard and it made me not play the game for a couple of days

[candid plover]

hey, i’m looking for someone to commission! i’m the worst at making maps and i’d love for someone to make one for me. you’ll be paid of course, nmt or bells! dm me if you’d be interested!!

[terse terrace]

everyone clearly has a different method to it and that's from their experience of playing the game

[woven drift]

@proper moat

[vast cradle]

I thought I had a good idea for my rivers so I did that and it turns out I did not have a good idea for my rivers

[delicate shale]

same lmao

[proper moat]

that’s cool thank you! @woven drift

[delicate shale]

except my mistake took 2 days to fix

[woven drift]

Trial and error tbh hahah same

[whole bear]

Why did I flatten my whole island with no map planned out yet

[vast cradle]

I haven't fixed mine yet\

[solar swallow]

Beginning work on the villager's houses based on a link I saw on Reddit. Here's coco's

[woven drift]

@solar swallow cute!!

[outer pawn]

I've done that ...flatten the whole island, turn around, and hated it xD

[proper moat]

@solar swallow what are those flowers??

[woven drift]

Lily on the valley

[clever plank]

I feel so bad that i didn't give my villagers gardens 😶

[solar swallow]

Yeah lily of the valley

[woven drift]

5 star gang

[proper moat]

is that a flower you can find or an item?

[frosty spruce]

you need a 5 star island llama!

[proper moat]

ooooo ok ty

[frosty spruce]

yep! i’m chillin at a 4 rn loll

[solar swallow]

I no longer have 5 stars cause terraforming

[pure quest]

where do you plan this island out exactly?

[proper moat]

i’m so ocd it’s making me angry

[frosty spruce]

i haven’t really tried to get my 5 stars just cuz i love weeds

[solar swallow]

But I got a lot of lilies saved up

[woven drift]

I lose my 5 stars when I drop items like bruh

[vast cradle]

is there a chain link fence?

[rich tundra]

Taking 3 or less ppl on a tour of my island before I start tearing it down some more. Not really furnished but come if you want some inspiration on terraforming!

[woven drift]

The lilies get annoying sometimes lol they grow everywhere

[proper moat]

yes @rich tundra

[clever plank]

I got my 5 stars when i made a temple cause fences count towards it too and i used around 150 of them

[rare barn]

Can I see the temple?

[woven drift]

Let’s see that temple doeee

[frosty spruce]

i got my fourth when i made my cafe

[woven drift]

Idk how to make this nightclub but figuring it out as I go lol

[clever plank]

I got the idea from reddit!

[vague vortex]

i decided to restart my island completely made alot of progress today whew

[woven drift]

Omg I love the moon placement and how you can see it from afar

[vast cradle]

wow crazy

[frosty spruce]

very cool

[vague vortex]

This was before

[clever plank]

Yeah the moon is without a doubt my favorite item in the game it just looks so good

[frosty spruce]

nice! @vague vortex

[rare barn]

What do you guys do when you have a little patch of land between 2 bigger paths or major spots?

[woven drift]

Ok so the back area will be a DJ area. What path should I put on this blank area I’m standing on

[vast cradle]

cry

[frosty spruce]

flowers and trees are always good!

i love it! @woven drift

[vague vortex]

i literally had to get rid of everything on my island x.x

[graceful jasper]

does anyone have cute entrance ideas?

[rare barn]

Pick a theme first

[woven drift]

@frosty spruce tysm!

[solar swallow]

Oof, I was gonna level my island but it takes so much time

[restive whale]

Wow you can put villagers on the beach?

[woven drift]

Yes

[vague vortex]

yup! gives me more space to work with

[rare barn]

I personally went for a Mayan jungle theme @graceful jasper

[woven drift]

Do we like the idea of sand on that blank area yes or no

[restive whale]

I needed to know that. Thank you

[woven drift]

Cause it’s a pool nightclub theme here on this area

[clever plank]

Omg yea i would put sand there

And the coconut lamps

[woven drift]

Thank you!! Yesss I’m putting a lot of coconut lamps

[tawdry moat]

I have to make a market place in this square... should i remove the center fountain thing? How should I format the stalls without it being too ugly/crowded?

[vast cradle]

hedges are such a good addition to the game

[tawdry moat]

Ikr

[woven drift]

Remove it or make something smaller

Cause that’s not enough space for a market

[vague vortex]

I made a jumping pathway on my entrance :>

[past cloud]

wait is leif leaving ono

[tawdry moat]

Oo okay

[woven drift]

Do pink beach chairs exist

Or white

[vast cradle]

I think leif is gonna keep coming

[solar swallow]

White does I think

[vast cradle]

like sahara or kicks

[past cloud]

lmao I hope

I need by bushes

[woven drift]

He will. I tt and he comes back with diff seasonal stuff

[past cloud]

oh phew ok

[rare barn]

@woven drift you can customize the beach chairs to any color

[vague vortex]

anyone got any museum entrance ideas for me?

[near carbon]

just made a small entrance area. the same cliff fall is on the other side

[woven drift]

@rare barn oh ty!!!

[candid plover]

hey, i’m looking for someone to commission! i’m the worst at making maps and i’d love for someone to make one for me. you’ll be paid of course, nmt or bells! dm me if you’d be interested!!

[rare barn]

@vague vortex do something with maybe a dig site

[charred mica]

Can I see what you guys did for your entrances?

[vague vortex]

@charred mica its not decorated yet :/

[rare barn]

Yea hang on

[terse terrace]

tell me when you get someone to do your island @candid plover

[woven drift]

can someone come to my island and give me advice or tips on what to do with my front entrance?

[charred mica]

@vague vortex that looks really cool!

[vague vortex]

ooo good idea @rare barn

[vague vortex]

@zealous pendant OKAY OKAY

[prime tusk]

Lief will keep coming it’s just the nook miles thing that will go away

[slow patio]

[vast cradle]

I'm gonna start making all of my villagers call me dad

[near carbon]

[rare barn]

He’s only shown up to my island once

[near carbon]

[zealous pendant]

Bought it from #redd-paintings-and-statues specifically bought fakes

[barren swift]

[rare barn]

I like it besides joe it’s not centered

[upbeat zodiac]

Need ideas for that spot!

[near carbon]

you could put music stuff there @upbeat zodiac

[vast cradle]

I wish you could decide where KK performs

[woven drift]

does anyone have a really small and odd entrance bc of the resident services being so close? i need inspo on what to do

[mossy parcel]

anyone have villager housing area inspo 🥺

[merry inlet]

Ahhhh I'm gonna go crazy terraforming

[frosty spruce]

your islands are so pretty 😭

[upbeat zodiac]

Could be cool, Rachel

[near carbon]

same @merry inlet

[pure nimbus]

Anyone have a able sisters and nooks cranny area?

[frosty spruce]

i’m working on mine rn @pure nimbus

[rare barn]

@mossy parcel I did it in clumps if 3

That way it wasn’t too cluttered

Made a little town square for the mini village

[frosty spruce]

clutter makes the island imh

[near carbon]

i wanna destroy the two inclines for my current museum but the design i wanna do needs 4 in place of them. i have 100k bells. something doesn’t match up here.

[frosty spruce]

the 8 incline max is my least fav part of this game lol

[mossy parcel]

where did you put the 10th house?

[rare barn]

@frosty spruce yea I get that, but I like my housing spread out

[near carbon]

lol i only have 3 inclines rn

[woven drift]

i need to get back into the stalk market ngl

[vast cradle]

Inclines should just be a part of terraforming imo

[zinc hull]

@frosty spruce agreed. For what I want to do I need a lot of inclines

[rigid raven]

actually trying to start making my island a lilbetter, made a space for the other players to settle in cjmddjnfkc

it doesnt look well right now but

[near carbon]

can inclines be on an angle like bridges??

[vast cradle]

I think so

[rigid raven]

hopefully it will look way better than right now

[frosty spruce]

no they can’t @near carbon

[solar swallow]

Inclines can't be angled

[vast cradle]

oh oof

[near carbon]

:(( ok ty

[frosty spruce]

unfortunately

[solar swallow]

What flowers go well with the zen fence?

[frosty spruce]

also! just a tip, if you don’t time travel you can use white paths to mark your housing spaces, i do it all the time so i can plan out my island

[near carbon]

i wish i could take out loans from tom smh these inclines gonna kill me

[hearty cosmos]

some screenies of my island ;w; sorry if it’s a little long photo

[frosty spruce]

so cute! @hearty cosmos

[woven drift]

Cute entrance!

[frosty spruce]

i might be able to give some tours tonight!

[candid plover]

hey, i’m looking for someone to commission! i’m the worst at making maps and i’d love for someone to make one for me. you’ll be paid of course, nmt or bells! dm me if you’d be interested!!

[hollow pollen]

Any advice on how to make it more of a battle lol

[frosty spruce]

@candid plover you should try to yourself!! it’s super rewarding even if you copy someone else’s design!! (with permission)

[terse terrace]

LMFAO THE STATUE OF LIBERTY WITH GNOMES

[vast cradle]

@hollow pollen this is probably a dumb idea, but you could use campfires to make it look like they set stuff on fire

[hearty cosmos]

@hollow pollen maybe some garden rocks in places to look like debris or dirt? And the leaf piles that are on fire! Log stumps and wild log benches to look like fallen trees

[terse terrace]

tiki torches and blood splatter on the ground

[candid plover]

@frosty spruce i know i know i'm just scared. i don't wanna mess it up bc i have no idea what i'm doing.

[frosty spruce]

don’t worry about it!! i terraform for hours just to take it down to remake something, it can’t always be perfect on the first try! and there’s no such thing as an ugly island! @candid plover

[hollow pollen]

Yes i will do that lol can gomes go on top of anything

[near carbon]

does anyone have good ideas for museum decor and design

[woven drift]

I need the pink rocket lamp and soft serve lamps ahhh

[frosty spruce]

i think i might have the pink rocket lamp! @woven drift

[woven drift]

Omg can I catalog please @frosty spruce 🥺

[frosty spruce]

yes ofc! let me make sure i have the pink lol

[woven drift]

Ok tysm!!

[merry inlet]

Flower park is almost finished!

[solar swallow]

Any ideas what to put in front of the pond?

[real vessel]

[frosty spruce]

oh no! it turns out i just have purple any chance that works @woven drift

[real vessel]

a happy tilapia.

[oak oar]

Any ideas what I should do for my island ?

[hearty cosmos]

@solar swallow maybe a bench to look like someone can sit and feed the ducks or a water pump or well

[oak oar]

I’m kinda stuck. 🥺

[swift stag]

That is beautiful. I only grow one plant on my island so far and it’s white hyacinth. I’m too picky with what flowers I want 🤣

[pure nimbus]

I T S A T L E A S T A C +

[real vessel]

Hyacinth is my town's natural flower but I have so many roses u wouldn't believe me.

[woven drift]

anyones island i can visit? i dont have river . to fish

[near carbon]

i need.... 888000 bells.... to finish my inclines....

[frosty spruce]

hahah same @swift stag i like only use pastel hyacinths and cosmos

[deep spear]

i was gonna make a rainbow flower field until i remembered green mums

[near carbon]

i rly be needing a small loan of a million dollars rn

[zealous pendant]

@woven drift don’t really have a river either 😂😂

[vast cradle]

I have like 8 mil bells lol

[rigid raven]

and being one of the secondary players in the island sucks too cidndjnccjdndn

[woven drift]

That's why I did turnips for two weeks and focused on making bells beforehand :' )

[swift stag]

@frosty spruce Ahhh very nice! I’m thinking of doing white and orange combination (hyacinth) 😬

[near carbon]

bruh how i have 30k rn LOL

[zinc hull]

I need like 5 mil to finish my island and only have 2 mil rn

[vast cradle]

Stonks is how

[sick bolt]

i have 42 k😩

[near carbon]

u right

[woven drift]

I have 5.5mil in my savings

[pulsar zodiac]

Anybody got some public garden spaces or plazas on hand? Would like some inspiration for what I'm working on

[frosty spruce]

MAJOR wip

[woven drift]

I've been planning

[rich tundra]

In need a measly 20 mil. Won’t you spare me your change

[slow anvil]

What do you guys think😝

[hearty cosmos]

@frosty spruce your island looks like it's good just from the map

[woven drift]

It's Aladdin!

[frosty spruce]

thanks moo!

[swift stag]

@frosty spruce It would look so much better with another pop of colour

[sick bolt]

so cute

[near carbon]

@swift stag blue flowers or red fruit trees?

[frosty spruce]

for sure!! @swift stag i’d suggest orange for cottagecore or pink/yellow for fairy!

[woven drift]

@swift stag Maybe some purple flowers or purple items? yellow and purple are contrasts and make each other pop.

[frosty spruce]

autumn is so pretty, i’m so excited for this fall

[swift stag]

Thank you for the suggestions ⭐️

[hearty cosmos]

oooh I think purple would look really nice like Spence said

[swift stag]

The mushrooms are the best! Just crafted a mushroom wreath!

[woven drift]

Jelly

[frosty spruce]

Ahhhhh ik!! i bought a ton of mush lamps

but i haven’t time traveled myself

[swift stag]

@frosty spruce how much are they each?

[frosty spruce]

i normally don’t pay more than 3nmt a piece

[sullen field]

Any suggestions on what to build here? It's really empty and the space ain't wide.

[vast cradle]

right now I'm kind of just randomly placing stuff anywhere it kind of makes sense for that good good 5 star

[woven drift]

FroggyLand

Do you have frog villagers?

[swift stag]

@frosty spruce very nice! Someone offered me 10 nmt a piece I’m considering

[pulsar zodiac]

How about a nature trail or just a simple walking path

[sullen field]

@woven drift no I work on villagers last ahahaha

[frosty spruce]

@swift stag jump on it!!!! most people can only sell for a max of 7

[deep spear]

i do want to see my island in winter

[pulsar zodiac]

Decorate it with trees, flowers and other natural stuff

[blazing sorrel]

when terraforming did you work from the front or the back first?

[woven drift]

You might be able to make a good orchard with the length, too

[swift stag]

@frosty spruce I was unsure about the pricing so I put it to the side but I shall reply now. Thank you 🙂

[sullen field]

Yeah I dont know what else to do so I think I'll just do a forest. Ty @pulsar zodiac

[swift stag]

@blazing sorrel always front to back

[frosty spruce]

i originally did the front but i regretted it and started from the back the second time and it worked SO much better @blazing sorrel

whoops wrong person

[woven drift]

Hahaha

[swift stag]

Close enough 🤣

[woven drift]

It's alright

[pulsar zodiac]

Np, but be sure to keep other ideas in mind. Just incase that idea doesn't work out too well

[blazing sorrel]

i get it hahah

[sharp stump]

when terraforming did you work from the front or the back first?
@blazing sorrel right now I’m doing back to front

[vast cradle]

I wish you could get a more detailed response for how to make your island get more stars

I'm going crazy rn

[frosty spruce]

honestly just by working on your island you’ll get it!

[near carbon]

12 hours of work today and i’m still unhappy with the progress

[brittle isle]

i just go from here to there, n then going back to get rid of it to delete it

[frosty spruce]

i’ve only designed like 3/5 of my island and i have a 4 star

[zealous pendant]

@swift stag don’t pay 10nmt a piece for mush lamps

[brittle isle]

there's no working from the front or back . just pure chaos

[vast cradle]

I haven't really finished any of my island and Im at 4 stars

[woven drift]

@near carbon But.. but it's good

Can someone tell me their opinion?

[tired perch]

SOS i moved 2 resident and put my house on the next level and am stuck on what to do WITH ALL THIS SOACE!!! any suggestions?

[woven drift]

Is there something specific you're not happy with?

[near carbon]

yes.

[zealous pendant]

@near carbon that looks good what are you talking aboutttt

[swift stag]

@woven drift Looking cute! Some fencing will look nice too

[woven drift]

Oop

[frosty spruce]

@tired perch when in doubt place more trees and flowers is my go to!

[vast cradle]

I really need more furniture that makes sense outside

[near carbon]

i have so many random gaps where there’s nothing and idk how to design them, my island houses are too close together so i can’t decorate around them, my beaches are barren pretty much, and my museum needs a complete remodel that’s gonna cost a fortune

[woven drift]

It’s not too busy?

[tired perch]

@frosty spruce i probably waill end up up doing that i just wanted to add something else but you can never go wrong with flowers 😊

[pulsar zodiac]

Yo does anyone have any public garden designs to share. Struggling on my own projects and would like some inspiration

[frosty spruce]

here’s my cafe if you don’t already have one! @vast cradle

[zealous pendant]

@tired perch the left side could be a lil seating area/garden

[swift stag]

@frosty spruce ummmm can’t wait to tour

[frosty spruce]

hahah! thanks

[tired perch]

@zealous pendant yesss. i need bdtter DIY for different outdoor furniture

[vast cradle]

@frosty spruce what tables and chairs are those

[frosty spruce]

natural garden i think

[vast cradle]

oh

[zealous pendant]

My cafe is split in 2 sections

[blazing sorrel]

why does it all have to be so frustrating though guys... :/ ughhh

[swift stag]

Yes

[old sigil]

I reallly need garden inspo!!!

[tired perch]

@frosty spruce same need that seating

[gusty briar]

How did you get cake???

[tropic nexus]

Should this be opened or more closed

[swift stag]

I have no cafe section yet

[woven drift]

@near carbon It sounds like you've been going ham on it, so I would say give it a day or two to let the creativity come back to you. It can't be forced since it's something spontaneous and fun. Maybe relax and focus on the money for now. : )

Two options I can’t decide! Stripes or boxes?

[frosty spruce]

i have 4 cakes for sale for NmTs if you want any! @gusty briar

you get them on your birthday

[gusty briar]

First pick @woven drift

[zealous pendant]

@blissful blaze if you know what you want I can make it for you 🙂 just provide mats I know practically all the recipes rn

[near carbon]

reeeee i just want it to look nice now

[tired perch]

@old sigil i made all my neighborhoods flower specific with breeding in the back

[vast cradle]

My birthday was a week before it came out its so unpoggers

[gusty briar]

No I was just wonder how you got it

[swift stag]

@woven drift good mentality!

[woven drift]

Patience is key

[pulsar zodiac]

@tropic nexus I like the open version. Though try having the end hedges as a T shape, see how that looks

[woven drift]

I know it gets to be stressful when you see everyone making progress, but it's best to focus on your ideas and your plans at your own rate

That's just my two cents, though

[blazing sorrel]

i'm more stressed about things lining up nicely rn

however! its just figuring out the way to make it work thats frustrating haha

i need another cup of tea

[tired perch]

i want a rainbow garden soooooo baaaaad

[vast cradle]

time for me to spend too much money on natural garden table and seat diys

[swift stag]

I’m more at the point where I keep on pushing myself to improve with being creative so now I’m taking a little break from terraforming further sections 🤣

[gusty briar]

Visit ppl and ask for flowers

[zealous pendant]

Did someone say rainbow

[gusty briar]

Holy

[frosty spruce]

i terraformed for like 6 hours last night then found out that i cant fit what i was trying to do 😭

[true obsidian]

does anyone want to come to my island and tell me how the right side near the entrance looks?
might add a pattern to the grass

[tired perch]

@zealous pendant wow i love you

[last sentinel]

i love rainbow gardens its so pretty 🥺

[spice prairie]

Does anyone have good tips for decorating an island

I’m at 4 stars rn

[swift stag]

@frosty spruce What area were you working on? 😭

[oblique hollow]

My island rn

[swift stag]

I’m on 3 star

[tired perch]

@spice prairie do you have a park or anytging?

[gusty briar]

Meanwhile me with a empty middle of my island because I can’t decide on a layout

[spice prairie]

I have a basketball court

That’s the closest to a park I have

[tired perch]

go to nook mile and buy things to make a park

[near carbon]

ok yeah it’s time to go to sleep i’ve been at AC for 12 hours now really. ty guys for all the help today 🥺🥺

[zealous pendant]

Basically my garden-museum-house

[tired perch]

they want more things to do basically and then you'll have 5 stars

[gusty briar]

Or yeet fences

[spice prairie]

Things to do, like interactive objects?

[tired perch]

let me show you my park @spice prairie

[spice prairie]

K

Also you don’t need to @ me every time, I’m not going anywhere

[manic lantern]

@oblique hollow thats amazing!

[cedar latch]

I was proud of this coffee shop I made, i think this is the right channel to put it in

[worn smelt]

@cedar latch thats so cool

[swift stag]

@cedar latch Cute indeed!

[tired perch]

@spice prairie

[unique siren]

[pure quest]

this is gonna be a pain in the ass

[swift stag]

@unique siren I came to the conclusion of doing 2 houses in 5 rows

[fading verge]

@woven drift i like the boxes more

[tired perch]

@unique siren

[zealous pendant]

@blissful blaze what is that fluffy

[spice prairie]

I see, maybe I can do a big stone pad with some playground items and make chalk designs to place around

[tired perch]

@zealous pendant wym fluffy
