[tame thunder]

@zealous pendant nah that's mitzi

[tired perch]

@spice rain

[past jetty]

Hey guys! I have a big amount of space on my island that I have no clue what to do with. I could really use help coming up with ideas for it. (The space under that player house on the left.)

[spice rain]

@past jetty I personally really love playground and wedding areas 🙂

[zealous sentinel]

outdoor library!

[worn smelt]

YOU GOT BOB

[past jetty]

I was going to go for a playground but I do not feel inspired to do it at all.

Yeah bobby boy

[worn smelt]

bob is my boy

[severe silo]

Working on a little raised patio area behind my house with a lil pond coming out of the side.

[spice rain]

@tired perch 1) i really like your split level placement 2) jack has a better mic it seems lmao and 3) your cat straight chilling

[tired perch]

literally my acnh twitter has everything ive done with my extra space and i cant figure out how to save video from twitter:/

[past jetty]

Also outdoor library sounds lovely

[solar swallow]

Are there red pansy seeds?

[past jetty]

I don't really have an area on my island with impressive terraforming, using multiple levels, waterfalls, rivers, lakes and stuff like that so I want this area to be that

[green token]

You could terraform a little lake area/hiking trail

[past jetty]

I have a hiking trail area by my campsite that I love!

[tired perch]

does anyone hve acnh twitter so we can all follow each other

[past jetty]

The outdoor library idea is great, I'm going to try that. I want it to look kinda magical, like the things people do with custom stone patterns

[blazing sorrel]

oooo can you show us a picture of your hiking trail?

I have a hiking trail area by my campsite that I love!
@past jetty

[green token]

Is it a good idea to put the garden grounds right in front of the museum with hedges & such? Rn my flower storage is on my cliffs but I have other plans for those

[potent star]

I moved my house and now, I don’t know what to do with the empty space it left behind. Any ideas? I’m trying to make a horror island.

[past jetty]

This is only part of it!

[blazing sorrel]

so cool!!

[green token]

Awe it looks so lovely and homey

[past jetty]

Probably my proudest area on my island so far

[tired perch]

fromt of my museum with hybrid gardens infront

[past jetty]

Oh god I need to get so many hybrids

I have an idea for my house and the surrounding area that screams for hybrids

Also needs golden roses so I have to get 5 stars first... I still don't know why I don't have 5 stars yet

[worn smelt]

Dont you just love acnh

[past jetty]

Becoming my most played game very quickly

[worn smelt]

yeah isabelles system is rigged

[past jetty]

I'm addicted

[worn smelt]

how may hours have you played

[past jetty]

Only 180 but it feels like so much more

[potent star]

265 hours

[worn smelt]

i got the game on april 7 and ive played for 120

[past jetty]

I have Splatoon 2 and I had it since day 1 and only have 430 hours on it so it is a lot for me

[worn smelt]

ive played botw for over 400

[analog moth]

Yo I’m new here and seeing everyone else’s island has made me incredibly self conscious and I’d like someone to help me redesign my island

[severe silo]

Oh god I’ve put sooo many hours into BOTW. And about 200 into ACNH.

[tired perch]

@analog moth i would start but geting neighborhoods set

pick a side of the island and out them all

[analog moth]

Whazzat?

[pure nimbus]

I put 125 into botw

[tired perch]

moving all your houses

[analog moth]

Oh, yeah

[worn smelt]

do u have dlc

[pure nimbus]

Yes

[past jetty]

1st rule of coming to this channel - don't compare your island to other islands. Trying to make your island like other's removes the personal aspect of acnh imo

[worn smelt]

i digress

[analog moth]

Ah, pardon me there then

[heavy summit]

“Personal aspect” 10000 waterfall entrances

[wooden vector]

Ive gotten so sick of my island I want to scrap the whole thing and start over designing, without starting over the game so I made this:

[heavy summit]

[wooden vector]

A complete scale replica

[past jetty]

Woah

That's impressive

[analog moth]

Daww

[vast cradle]

I had the thought that I probably have at least 5000 hours in minecraft

[deep spear]

my entrance is basic because my museum is like 5 tiles away

[wooden vector]

I put way too much time into that when there is probably some website that can do it in 5 seconds

[analog moth]

I’d still like some help with design if possible

[midnight blade]

Me too

[woven drift]

@frosty spruce it’s ok I ended up getting it ty 🙂

[analog moth]

And thank you, lulu I needed that

[pulsar zodiac]

I had to make an impromptu holding cell at my entrance when I let people sell their turnips at my shop. I made it pretty and now it's staying for the foreseeable future

[woven drift]

I am barely progressing

[analog moth]

I worry I’m cramming things too close together

I’m trying to achieve a London-like city

[vast cradle]

idk what to do with all my fruit trees I have nowhere to put orchards or anything

[pulsar zodiac]

You got a full map picture on hand?

[analog moth]

Who?

[somber swallow]

Got rid of my waterfalls here and not sure what to do with my entrance

[woven drift]

Dammit can I plz order more than 5 things from the nook stop app

[patent sky]

[marble portal]

[echo kraken]

@woven drift right omg so annoying

[analog moth]

So uuuuh

Design tips and ideas??

[woven drift]

Anybody got more bar/nightclub ideas

[ancient sorrel]

.

[vast cradle]

what even is May Day tour?

like it is in the top of the discord but idk what it is

[woven drift]

@woven drift you could try custom paths

I’m currently looking for the checkered diner custom path to add 😭

[worthy tendon]

denise, floor lights would look perf in that area

[woven drift]

I’ll send what I have so far

@woven drift what about this?

Ooooh that looks cute

The qr code

Yeah it’s like dreamy

[past jetty]

I know it's long gone by now, but I still hear the bunny day music in my head everytime I close my eyes.

Anyway, island ratings are bullshit. Just wanted to put that out there. 😚

[latent heart]

If people aren't going with a theme on the whole island, how do you go about putting stuff on your island? Do you think "What would I put on an island I own in real life?" or do you just base it off items you have access to and think "That would look good here."

[woven drift]

I want a part of it with this floor QR code for the diner area but can’t find it for some reaso.

@woven drift some other options that would look cool at night!

Those are so magical omg

Thank you!!

[past jetty]

Well I am going for a looser theme, I think of what would fit that theme and then kinda build around that. If something doesn't fit the theme but it looks good I keep it.

[jagged trench]

@latent heart hey! I'm not really advanced in my game but I'm not really going for any theme either and I try just doing what I can with what I have, I try keeping this wood-y theme but still use things I actually have

[latent heart]

I just feel like there aren't enough items to really do a set theme without it looking repetitive, but I want to have a good "flow" from one area to the next. Not having everything just thrown around

[vast cradle]

am I using these birds too much?

[tame thunder]

it feels like they're used too linear-ly

maybe try making some of them facing toward/away from the camera

[terse terrace]

they're so fucking cute but yea @vast cradle

[past jetty]

I hate how both of the stone pathways look at night so that may be influencing this but it doesn't look very good imo

The night time makes it look worse, i bet in the day it's lovely

[fallow drift]

Im liking the egg lamps for the playground tbh

[vast cradle]

I didn't make them, also the codes I found are only facing side ways

[tired perch]

does anyone have their house up on another level

[vast cradle]

I probably should just use a few

[pulsar zodiac]

I just want different paths to conjoin without leaving a grass boarder between them

[tiny karma]

My zen garden :3

[spice prairie]

That’s so pretty!

Well the turtle seems a bit out of place

[vast cradle]

Not enough turtles

[tiny karma]

Thank you !! 😄 He likes the sand.... reminds him of home.

[tired perch]

can anyone send the entrance of there home

[pulsar zodiac]

If you can get a pool or a bigger water feature, put the turtle near it. BOOM, turtle is no longer out of place

[spice prairie]

This?

[spring jackal]

I'd like to make it like a ghibli layout or redesign it? If that makes sense

[past jetty]

@tired perch WIP

[deft trench]

I've seen so many people do fancy stuff with the big beach rocks, but mine are the little ones. Has anyone done anything cool with the little beach rocks?

[spice prairie]

Ohh like that

[pseudo kite]

Created little chalk drawings for my villagers! I used the sunshine and rainbow art from a reddit user u/dnnaicalin

[tired perch]

@tired perch WIP
@past jetty WOW HOLY COW

[spice prairie]

Mine isn’t super grand, I’ve been trying to keep my island semi natural

[past jetty]

Taking advantage of those inclines baby!

[sinful drift]

I replaced my sparkles with a patthblock kill me now

[past jetty]

Oof

[tiny karma]

My home @tired perch

[slow patio]

Working on the bare parts by the trees

[past jetty]

The reason it is still a wip is because it needs furniture and flowers

[somber swallow]

This isnt the entrance to my home but its my favourite entrance on my island

[sinful drift]

Does this look ok?

I WILL add the shop logos and stuff

[spice prairie]

Here’s a mini forest I made

[tiny karma]

All I need now is a sculpture for my rock garden 😈

[sinful drift]

God why is everything i make so mediocre 😩

[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]

I need an opinion on how my island is coming along, any takers for a visit?

[proud current]

Library and ice cream spot ✨😊

[past jetty]

Stealing the ice cream shop omg so cute!!!!!!!!

[tiny karma]

So cute oh wow

[sinful drift]

You can customize p a n elss

[vast cradle]

I have made the breakthrough of copying people

[manic oriole]

Library and ice cream spot ✨😊
@proud current :000 can i get the qr code for the first pic??

[vast cradle]

Galaxy brain move

[tiny nova]

Where did you get the cupcakes?

[proud current]

The villagers give you the cupcakes on your birthday! (:

[tiny karma]

I like takin people’s ideas but trying to build it around a space that wasn’t in theirs so it always ends up different and unique to the shape and design of my island

[past jetty]

I mean I'm going to make a magical sort of library area so that's nice

[tiny karma]

That’s a galaxy brain move lol

[slow patio]

does anyone have a boba/milk tea shop set up? I’m not sure how to get started

[pulsar zodiac]

It's not "stealing", it's "inspiration"

[proud current]

This is the the ice cream menu I made and the lamp design I used

[kind ginkgo]

how does this look 😳

[near carbon]

10/10

[spice prairie]

Here’s a closer look at my enchanted forest area

[kind ginkgo]

[tiny nova]

I'm waiting so bad go get mush lamps

[near carbon]

ooOooo

[severe silo]

Patio has a baby pond coming out the side

[eager crater]

[pulsar zodiac]

That bridge feels cursed

[unreal palm]

Finally finished one part of my town lol

[near carbon]

are the mushroom lamps just a diy recipe you can get any time?

[kind ginkgo]

it is @pulsar zodiac

[spice prairie]

Uh idk

[terse terrace]

@kind ginkgo I'm stealing

[spice prairie]

I got my mushlamps through trade

[severe silo]

I think they’re seasonal to fall?

[near carbon]

ohhh gotcha. are they a catalog item or did you just get multiples by trade?

[tiny karma]

Mushlamps are a seasonal crafting diy

[kind ginkgo]

@terse terrace nO

[spice prairie]

I can’t get them from my catalog

[near carbon]

ok gotcha ty !!

y’all are very helpful 🥺🥺

[sinful drift]

Should i trust the process 😭😭😭

[somber swallow]

@eager crater this is how i have my villagers's houses

[lone bobcat]

Finished my school. https://youtu.be/pc03yNS4wOg

[eager crater]

@somber swallow awesome thanks! could you post a pic of your map if it's not too much trouble? im having a hard time finding a good spot on my island to place houses

[stuck river]

to any borderlands fans i made myself a welcome sign to pandora

[sinful drift]

Is this ugly 💀💀 cus i hate it 😭

[somber swallow]

@eager crater sorry ignore the mess rn lmao

[clever minnow]

How does this look? I have Stonehenge in front of me

[woven drift]

I don't really have much stuff unlocked by I want to do something for a way from the airport to the resident services, what do y'all think about like a flower path type of thing?

(my resident services is upgrading tomorrow)

[novel walrus]

LF: Raymond
FT 100nmt &1,000,000bells

[pulsar zodiac]

Looks really nice. You could try adding an item that matches the black and white of your house to the front, so it compliments the scene

[novel walrus]

SORRY wrong place

[clever minnow]

@pulsar zodiac Thx, and yea I plan to add some custom paths in front as well

[mortal wolf]

Looking for someone to help@me brainstorm a layout for my town considering it’s close to the airport. Willing to pay NMT

[hardy trout]

@sinful drift nooo i love it

[sinful drift]

:’D

I really hate it tbh i might get rid of the sides

What y’all think? Anything I should change or add?
@eternal star

Ksskxkske yes

[clever minnow]

@eternal star Looks nice, rlly similar to what I did for my museum entrance

[unreal palm]

Can you guys judge this area in my island?

[eternal star]

Thanks! @clever minnow

[unreal palm]

(Warning I’m not done) lol

Pls be honest ty

[woven drift]

Anybody got the pink blender 🥺

[clever minnow]

@woven drift I think I bought one from Redd, lemme check if it’s the right one

[woven drift]

Thank you sm !!

[muted quartz]

@unreal palm love the urban vibe of the terraforming, i haven't seen anything like it before!!

ik it'd be a lot of work, but I think extending the railways to go longer instead of having a bunch of shorter ones would look really good

[unreal palm]

Yes that’s my plan!

[slim raptor]

Does anyone have ideas on their marketplace area?🥺

[woven drift]

@slim raptor

[slim raptor]

@woven drift so cuuute

[clever minnow]

@woven drift Sorry, it wasn’t the right color

[woven drift]

@clever minnow thank you anyways! Mine is green like why

@slim raptor tysm 🥺

[spare fjord]

@unreal palm i like it but maybe try like a 2 block path instead of one? u don't want it to feel too crammed or anything

[muted quartz]

@unreal palm also, since u have this funky mix of urban and natural, i think some mossy/worn down train tracks would do wonders for the layout

[tiny nova]

@woven drift I have a pink blender

[woven drift]

@tiny nova May I catalog or buy from you 🥺

[unreal palm]

@spare fjord im different 💅🏼

[tiny nova]

Sure!

[spring haven]

If anyone is looking for inspo this is how mine looks right now 🥺

[woven drift]

That’s sooo nice!

[tawdry moat]

i love the rivers and the organization ahhh

[odd trout]

Hey! Does anyone here have an island with a large rocky area with tidal pools that could send me a screenshot of what it looks like on the map? I reset to try and find this feature but I have no idea what it looks like!

[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!!

[spring haven]

Thankyou 😭 6 days of mental breakdowns but it was well worth it

[paper otter]

Need island entrances inspooo plsss 😭😭 my town hall is all close to my airport :/

[unreal palm]

I’m about to scream at someone I swear

Rena (@HermitInput)

I got an island with symmetrical river mouths and a town hall super close + not aligned to the airport and i was THIS close to restarting my island, but now I'm happy wit how it's turning out. #ACNH #ACNHDesign #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons #ACNHpath

Twitter

Lowkey wanna restart my island still but there are a few parts i like

[unreal palm]

like y’all really said make it 2 pathway thick like girl that’s the whole point I made it 1 pathway for a reason no offense but like I-

[tawdry moat]

the detail in this bus is astronomical

[shy hull]

What do you guys think of my town hall decorations

[clever minnow]

@shy hull It’s nice but the items are a bit too scattered

[tawdry moat]

they're nice but i feel like you can format it so like the entrance is more clear and not blocked

[shy hull]

There where tf would the fountain go

[blazing sorrel]

like y’all really said make it 2 pathway thick like girl that’s the whole point I made it 1 pathway for a reason no offense but like I-
@unreal palm hun, you did ask for some ideas from others, for them to judge..

[bright fable]

Can I see your guys neighborhood areas for inspo?

[clever minnow]

@bright fable Here’s mine

[paper otter]

Lo@shy hull lmaoo relax

[hidden gyro]

Favorite areas on my island

[unreal palm]

@blazing sorrel first off no I didn’t I just asked what they thought not to give a whole idea about what they don’t like

[shy hull]

Ik lol

[quaint elbow]

does anyone have some marketplace inspo? i have a few empty plots on my island left to fill and i have a giant space below my nook's cranny and able sisters lmao

[swift stag]

@clever minnow

[tawdry moat]

How do I format my marketplace in this area?? Should I turn it into a zen garden instead?? I’m having mental breakdowns trying to organize this

[unreal palm]

Like girl being respectful isn’t the same as being judge mental y’all reallt gotta learn

[woven drift]

tips for getting island to 3 star

[olive orchid]

Rock gardens anyone?

[woven drift]

Can you all send me some inspiration of what to do with beaches?

[pulsar zodiac]

@hidden gyro Actually love that ufo in the parking space

[vagrant sluice]

Currently planning

[somber swallow]

@paper otter this is definitely not impressive or anything but my town hall is the closest ive seen yet

[clever minnow]

Nothing rlly special for mine either

[blazing sorrel]

Can you guys judge this area in my island?
@unreal palm umm.. these are your words. don't ask for people to judge if you can't handle the constructive criticism

[quaint elbow]

Can you all send me some inspiration of what to do with beaches?
@woven drift you can try tiki bars, i've seen a lot of people do those or little beach cafes

[swift stag]

@vagrant sluice I love the planning idea!

[vagrant sluice]

Took inspiration from @swift stag (the layout idea)

[swift stag]

@vagrant sluice HEHEHE

[paper otter]

That’s cute cute @somber swallow !!!

[somber swallow]

Thanks☺️

[patent sky]

@quaint elbow

[swift stag]

@vagrant sluice I can’t wait to see the outcome 🙂

[eager crater]

i can't decide if i should scatter my villagers' houses or put them in a neighborhood area. thoughts?

[hidden gyro]

@pulsar zodiac thank you!

[unreal palm]

@blazing sorrel no girl. Judging isn’t the same as saying exactly what you don’t like! Like keep your gross opinions to yourself some of y’all really need to learn respect cause designing takes ours not seconds!

[woven drift]

Need fencing/panel ideas hmm. Not enough furniture yet due to the 5 item limit lol

[tiny nova]

@eager crater Scattering is better imo

[vagrant sluice]

Made a train station yesterday

[woven drift]

So far

[warped nimbus]

This is my “palace”

[paper otter]

I had fountains before and hated is so I’m starting all over but this is how my town hall looks like :/ and it’s not aligned to the dock it bothers me lol but oh well!

[quaint elbow]

ooh, designing a bunch of stalls and using some extra items looks really fun! i don't wanna use the cherry lanterns but i'll work it out haha

[rare rain]

Can anyone send pics of white themed islands? Trying to get inspiration (:

[blazing sorrel]

@unreal palm i like it but maybe try like a 2 block path instead of one? u don't want it to feel too crammed or anything

[eager crater]

@tiny nova ahh yeah i have them mostly scattered now and i like it but i feel like i dont have room for other stuff :[

[blazing sorrel]

that is what they said to you @unreal palm

[clever minnow]

@paper otter Ooh u got Raymond

[olive orchid]

I’m proud

[unreal palm]

@blazing sorrel and that’s their opinion but it looks way better one way ho

[blazing sorrel]

@unreal palm it was advice hahahaha

[hidden gyro]

@olive orchid oh god you're goals

[unreal palm]

I ain’t gonna deal with a hater with a. Ugly island

Girl sit down with your 3 lane entrance

[clever minnow]

@olive orchid Nice! I did the same thing on my island too ❤️

[tiny nova]

Are yall ok

[candid plover]

Like girl being respectful isn’t the same as being judge mental y’all reallt gotta learn
@unreal palm the only one being disrespectful is you. she was offering some good advice. just bc ur insecure abt ur skinny ass walkways doesn't mean you have to be rude.

[eager crater]

lmaooo

[woven drift]

HUH lol

[unreal palm]

No nova the disrespect from normées are ugly

[blazing sorrel]

I ain’t gonna deal with a hater with a. Ugly island
@unreal palm you don't even know what mine looks like ahahaha, please relax and stop being rude

[woven drift]

need tips to get to 3 stars trying to get to terraforming! dm me if you got some tips

[quaint elbow]

@olive orchid how did you get the rocks to spawn like that? i have 4 in one big piece of land im struggling to get the rest to spawn there for a quarry :(

[hidden gyro]

Can't wait to put all my rocks in one area

[woven drift]

@olive orchid omgomg how??

[unreal palm]

@candid plover your mad because your basic sit down love this ain’t about you

[woven drift]

Yeah I didn’t think she was rude. You said “be honest”

[unreal palm]

Denise I swear to god

[tiny nova]

Riiiight

[vagrant sluice]

No nova the disrespect from normées are ugly
@unreal palm you talking to the wall no one is listening 🥱

[unreal palm]

I will go to your island and insult every little thing

[pulsar zodiac]

If you guys want to start arguing, take it to a DM or some shit. A multi thousand person server doesn't need to see your shit

[blazing sorrel]

Yeah I didn’t think she was rude. You said “be honest”
@woven drift thank you!! exactlyyy

[tiny karma]

Tips for getting your rocks in one place: Mannequins. Two paces apart, in a grid. Super easy. And then you can just erase the design and it’s all cleaned up!!!

[woven drift]

Fine we’ll be honest ur island ugly as hellllll

Jk but nah. She was helping you.

[olive orchid]

@olive orchid how did you get the rocks to spawn like that? i have 4 in one big piece of land im struggling to get the rest to spawn there for a quarry :(
@quaint elbow oh! Well only three rocks can spawn on one grid square so you need to pick the perfect spot

[unreal palm]

It’s not Denise it’s not

[paper otter]

Horsedyke I know u worked hard on ur island but if u like it how it is then don’t ask for advice or critisicm

[blazing sorrel]

no one was insulting tho love, please relax the flaps @unreal palm

[paper otter]

Pls go to sleep lol

[candid plover]

It’s not Denise it’s not
@unreal palm it just definitely was ugly

[clever minnow]

Guys plz don’t start drama, let’s just forget what we said. It’s ur island so u decide if it’s gud, not us

[patent sky]

Take this the fuck to DMs please

[hidden gyro]

Only thing ugly here is the attitude

[quaint elbow]

@olive orchid i have 4 in the area though, trying to get atleast 1 or 2 more into the area

[woven drift]

I always ask everyone here for help and constructive criticism so that’s what we do here 🙂

[unreal palm]

Let me be honest right now! You guys obviously do not know what constructive Criticism your just ignorant people with jealousy in your minds. You guys need to learn respect and learn to keep your opinions to yourself rather then insult my one lane you could’ve asked why was it there!

[olive orchid]

@quaint elbow are you using mannequins?

[woven drift]

[unreal palm]

Don’t be ignorant or insult me because your insecure and closeminded grow up you insecure kids

[woven drift]

@unreal palm nobody insulted it until you rudely responded to actual constructive criticism !

[quaint elbow]

nope, i'm 101% unaware of the rock spawning method lol. i don't want the rocks right next to each other however, i want them a little separate if this "mannequin" method can do it? @olive orchid

[unreal palm]

@olive orchid it’s okay love I just need to put little kids in they’re place

[paper otter]

It’s time to sleep luv

[unreal palm]

Let me say this again insulting me isn’t constructive criticism!!!

[woven drift]

@tawdry moat the terra-cotta seems unfitting. Maybe hardwood?

[vagrant sluice]

I’m cryin she said “be honest ty” someone said “maybe 2 square paths” and she GETS OFFENDED LMFAOOOO

[unreal palm]

You are just ignorant!!

[tawdry moat]

Ok!

[unreal palm]

Queland you assumed my gender too?

LMAOO BYE

[blazing sorrel]

Let me say this again insulting me isn’t constructive criticism!!!
@unreal palm you took it as an insult love, thats how this all started, people are just trying to help

[vagrant sluice]

my apologies

[tiny karma]

I just wanna share how I did my rock garden...... what is goin on

[quaint elbow]

you know what? im tryna get some island help and this is going on im tired guys. <@&494448231036747777> sorry for the ping guys someone please help

[pulsar zodiac]

Please I just want to move on

[wheat halo]

rat poison

[hidden gyro]

@tiny karma I'm listening on rock garden lol

[paper otter]

Yessss I wanna see some paths!!!

[vagrant sluice]

oh period

[olive orchid]

I just wanna share how I did my rock garden...... what is goin on
@tiny karma lol explain how people want to know because I’m bad at it

[tiny nova]

I don't have paths just little circles around my island!

[tawdry moat]

why so toxic 💀💀💀

[vagrant sluice]

I hear sumn but imma ignore it

[clever minnow]

Someone got mad triggered

[woven drift]

[paper otter]

Hehe

[worthy tendon]

what kind of things have people done on their beaches with a natural theme?

[tiny nova]

I like the natural look of little circles

[tawdry moat]

oop 🥵🥵😌🤡

[olive orchid]

Wait no

[tawdry moat]

👁👄👁

[patent sky]

My little beach area is my campground

[paper otter]

Anyone have any cafe pics or living room pics for inspo:)

[tiny karma]

Basically: the mannequin method can be done with literally any object. But mannequins are best because you can erase the design and then all 1000 of the mannequins on ur island are gone in an instant.

[woven drift]

Wait can we go back to the rocks. I was trying to learn ...

[swift stag]

@quaint elbow 👏

[quaint elbow]

i have a cafe i need to run up there though

[woven drift]

@patent sky OMGGG YES

[worthy tendon]

thats rly cute lulu!!

[tawdry moat]

I have a cafe near my museum!

[deep spear]

i do need a cafe

[eager crater]

@worthy tendon i like the idea of just setting up little beach towels and chairs. i had a li'l bbq going for a while. and the sandcastles are super cute and i like decorating with sand drawing qr's and seashell qr's

[blazing sorrel]

@patent sky i love this!!

[tiny karma]

Here’s how you do it: First: doesn’t you rock area. And how you want it. There’s 6 rocks ! Keep that in mind. Go around and smash all six to get the process rolling

[patent sky]

Aww ty guys

[worthy tendon]

thank u fairy for the ideas <3!

[hidden gyro]

@tiny karma thank you for sharing!!!

[olive orchid]

Here’s how you do it: First: doesn’t you rock area. And how you want it. There’s 6 rocks ! Keep that in mind. Go around and smash all six to get the process rolling
@tiny karma Only smash all six if you are time traveling so that you can still collect your daily materials

[tawdry moat]

Aside from the flooring is the stall formatting ok?

[quaint elbow]

@paper otter area around this is a wip but i like how this came out and i dont wanna relocate it
p.s missing some furni in top right but yeah

[woven drift]

@tiny karma ty

@tawdry moat yeah maybe change the stall wood to dark wood

[tiny karma]

And then choose a design you don’t care about and start placing mannequins. With two spaces in between each mannequin. Trees, flowers, stone wood or custom paths count as a space so don’t work if it you can place a mannequin

[tawdry moat]

ooh ok!

[pulsar zodiac]

@tawdry moat Have you tried putting the stalls in a L shape at the corners

[paper otter]

@quaint elbow that is super cute!! I have all these things too!

[pulsar zodiac]

Just throwing ideas

[quaint elbow]

it's a lot of customization btw

[eager crater]

ok last time im gonna take a vote before finally making up my mind lmao, neighborhood area or scattered houses?

[tiny nova]

Scattered!

[woven drift]

Neighborhood area always looks the most charming to me

[tiny karma]

It’s gonna look insane.

[quaint elbow]

omg lmao

[paper otter]

My houses were scattered but now I regret it which I went with more neighborhood vibe forsure

[woven drift]

I did neighborhood but depends what ur going for!

[blazing sorrel]

@tiny karma i missed somethin! what are you making!

[abstract onyx]

Scattered !

[mild notch]

what should i do if my resident services is literally 3 blocks from the entrance

[tiny karma]

Step by step on how to get all your rocks in one place. And how I did it @blazing sorrel

[quaint elbow]

so the mannequin method for spawning the rocks involves spamming mannequins around thr island? so lost :( waiting for the step by step

[mild notch]

please give tips i shouldve never chosen this island

[eager crater]

gahh yeah i have them scattered rn and it's kinda cute but i feel like i dont have room for other stuff. :[

[tiny karma]

There’s a good video let me find it

[pulsar zodiac]

You could try having 2 separate residential areas. Has some separate feel too it whilst keeping the houses together @eager crater

[woven drift]

I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this but I hope that never happens again

[tiny nova]

I feel like with neighborhoods then you have a little cramped area and too much space

[woven drift]

Mine were scattered and once I moved them together in a neighborhood I actually ended up w more room 🙂

[tiny karma]

https://youtu.be/J9QXgwYnkBs !!! Here you go guys! If your interested this is the tutorial I followed

[paper otter]

I saw someone with one row of houses on both sides of the island it was neat and still was cool as well!

[frosty spruce]

@eager crater i have scattered and neighborhood!

[barren swift]

that’s what i followed @tiny karma

[smoky cove]

How do i make this slope? I saw it in someone's town.

[quaint elbow]

i have my houses in one area on some cliffs and i have TOO much space, literally coming up with stuff to put around giant empty plots 😭

[woven drift]

How much space do you guys usually mark off for villagers’ yards?

@smoky cove talk to Tom nook about inclines

[tiny nova]

@quaint elbow that's why I like them scattered

[eager crater]

gahh my current map is just so not ideal for a single neighborhood space like idk where to put them

[paper otter]

Just make sure u have ideas in place cause ur gonna have way more space if u do neighborhood lol

[quaint elbow]

i spent so much to relocate and terraform that im not gonna touch it lol

[tiny karma]

I have empty areas with like construction signs in case the decide to add new buildings. Don’t wanna full everything up yet

[quaint elbow]

idk the name but it's the wooden one

like the logs? not the stakes

[paper otter]

@eager crater ugh we have the same map lol hate it!

[eager crater]

@quaint elbow country fence i think?

[woven drift]

@eager crater I visited someone’s island w that layout. They did the houses vertically in the bottom left and it was super cool. I was actually jealous of it!

[tiny karma]

@woven drift country style fence or log stakes would look nice!!! Love the vibe

[woven drift]

Omg wrong pic

Sorry I took a screenshot of that

HAHAHA that’s not my island

[eager crater]

@paper otter i loved it at first but it's so hard for terraforming i feel like

[somber swallow]

@eager crater maybe try clearing out some cliffs and rivers? i removed a huge cliff where i put my neighborhood

[woven drift]

I meant to send this ;(((( I need fencing ideas

[quaint elbow]

im about to do that construction area thing thoooo i have this giant piece of land next to resident services

[paper otter]

<@!@eager crater yesss like idk how to even start building cliffs. Most 5 star islands I seen always have like two layers I wanna be that lmao

[eager crater]

@woven drift gahh i tried to line them up that way but it wouldn't quite fit with how i have my entrance and i rly like my entrance :[

[tiny karma]

@woven drift Hedges!!!

[paper otter]

@woven drift gahh i tried to line them up that way but it wouldn't quite fit with how i have my entrance and i rly like my entrance :[
@eager crater can I see ur enterance 🙂

[blazing sorrel]

Step by step on how to get all your rocks in one place. And how I did it @blazing sorrel
@tiny karma ahhhhh! okay okay!

[eager crater]

@woven drift you could use the rock wall but rotated if you want it to look like actual walls?

[woven drift]

The thing is I’m going for a club kinda area this is to the back @tiny karma @eager crater

[tiny karma]

Here’s my map @eager crater

[deep spear]

use rocket lamps if you have them

[mild notch]

What can I do about resident services ;-;

[woven drift]

Omg

@eager crater you could do what everyone else said and take out some cliffs on the right side to potentially do a verticals housing neighborhood over there? Even could add some double waterfall action! Would have to relocate campsite. In my town I have my neighborhood in top left corner against the back rocks.

[eager crater]

@mild notch omg i think that's so cute i wish mine was centered!!

[mild notch]

its really annoying and ANY help would be appreciated lol

[woven drift]

Oof that’s close

[deep spear]

just build around it i guess lol

[woven drift]

Maybe two paths that go either side?

That’s awfully close but at least it’s center

Some hedges maybe

[tiny karma]

@mild notch a waterfall entrance?

[pulsar zodiac]

@mild notch If you like the idea of roads and streets. You might be able to fit a street inbetween and put a crossing between airport and resident services

[woven drift]

Oooo ^

[mild notch]

its right to the path leading up to it, but these tips are great. ty!

[hollow dew]

i thought centered meant that the path was centered with res services not the entire airport?

[woven drift]

Ooooo

The crossing thing is an idea I can get behind

[hollow dew]

path from the airport pier to res services**

[eager crater]

@woven drift ahh that's a good idea! i could straighten out that river and that'd leave more room

[violet needle]

anyone have some cottage core island inspo?

[woven drift]

Yes you’ll def have to do some river work. Terraforming gets discouraging when you can’t fully see your vision so be sure to take lil breaks and come back to it !

[tiny karma]

Also @woven drift I think I would either do the rope fence or still the hedges, maybe the iron and stone fence but it might be to detailed ?

[woven drift]

@eager crater ^ youll have lots more space for nice cute things like cafes and Libraries and such

[hollow dew]

it also helps to have smaller projects rather than focusing on the bigger picture all at once!!

[tropic coral]

My humble entrance that took me 362864 hours 🥰

[tawdry moat]

@pulsar zodiac like this?

[woven drift]

@tiny karma ok ty! I’m gonna try both 🙂

[hollow dew]

@tropic coral it looks babie

[tiny nova]

I wanted to ask about this little area
Does it look ok?

[opaque phoenix]

a little spot i love on my island ❤️

[somber swallow]

@tropic coral Nice! Love how your town hall is exactly centered with the airport

[blazing sorrel]

I wanted to ask about this little area
Does it look ok?
@tiny nova very cute! you could add some more pathways even? 🙂

[mild notch]

wish my town hall was centered ;_;

[tiny nova]

@blazing sorrel More little circles around?

[tropic coral]

@somber swallow actually it’s not! I made the path slightly off center so it looks that way 😩😩😩

[terse jungle]

Anyone got idea for the secret beach red is on? I don’t have enough inclines so probably not gonna stay first level 😭

[tiny nova]

There are no pathways on my island

[somber swallow]

@tropic coral oh really ahaha nice job

[tiny karma]

I wish I would have designed my islands main path 2 spaces up, so I could have room for like a bench at my entrance- but bc I didn’t if I change it now EVERYTHING would have to move up 2 spaces

[modern halo]

Okay I moved this whole area to the top right of the map and expanded it how does it look and any recommendations of things to add

[hollow dew]

@terse jungle you could make a small incline going down to the beach!!

[blazing sorrel]

@tiny nova yeah! 🙂

[tiny nova]

I'll try that thank you!

[random crystal]

Trying to make a museum gift shop - any ideas?

[tropic coral]

@somber swallow the town hall is literally ONE space too far to the left lol

[hollow dew]

@terse jungle this was posted a while back and i still like how it looks

[tiny karma]

That’s SO GOOD @random crystal

[modern halo]

I moved my whole oasis area to top right and expanded it how does it look and any ideas on what to add

[wary hemlock]

these are nicee uwu

[terse jungle]

That’s how mines looked till i destroyed the incline 😭 @hollow dew

[wary hemlock]

ah foop yay it's may day day time to get my switch 😒

[woven drift]

@modern halo beach chairs, towels, pool, surf boards?

[blazing sorrel]

Trying to make a museum gift shop - any ideas?
@random crystal i'd even add an unassessed fossil onto one of the stalls

[tiny karma]

@modern halo maybe a soccer goal and a little play ground in that empty grass area?

[random crystal]

@blazing sorrel you genius

[modern halo]

Those are some good suggestions but I wanna keep it more on the Egyptian side ish because it’s a spot for ankha and lucky

[pulsar zodiac]

@tawdry moat Ah, I was meaning the stalls could be parallel to the walls they are on.
Sorry, it's kinda odd to explain. But it is an interesting design which allows for items inside the stalls for merchants and such

[tawdry moat]

Ohh!! I see !

[balmy nexus]

Fairy fountain inspired by LOZ windwaker

[woven drift]

I saw a comment that said something about having too much room when all the villagers are in one area and I got worried for a sec by I JUST finished moving everyone to one part of the island... but then I remembered that’s exactly why I moved them lmaoo

[tiny karma]

@modern halo maybe you could do like a museum Egyptian exhibit ? With the pyramids and new statues in the game 🙂

[tiny nova]

Very pretty @balmy nexus!

[woven drift]

@modern halo you could do gold caskets like ankha has in her house and get on nookazon for the pyramid.

[balmy nexus]

Thanks Nova!

[modern halo]

Wait there is a good casket and what statues do you think would fit

[woven drift]

@woven drift 🤣

[tawdry moat]

@pulsar zodiac

Second image*

[modern halo]

2nd one is nicer

[tiny karma]

@modern halo the great statue and mystic statue !!

[woven drift]

@modern halo yes there is a DIY somewhere out there for gold casket. Good errythang these days. You could get DIY for some rando stuff for her

[modern halo]

Omfg I forgot about the mystical statue

Okay ima look into that diy ty both

[abstract onyx]

Just finished my cafe 🙂 any opinions ?

[woven drift]

So guys I low key accidentally made a pond in the shape of the libra symbol while getting rid of a lake and now I think I have to do them all..... thoughts?

[deep spear]

the gold beetle too

[pulsar zodiac]

Yeah, thats what I was on about!
I just like throwing ideas around, but remember that it's your island, so chose what pleases you the most

[balmy nexus]

@max how did you make a fountain like that?

[heady dew]

I just unlocked terraforming and made a triforce lake yayyy

[dense ore]

Can anyone give me ideas for my front gate? I wanna use custom stone tiles and the japanese walls

[woven drift]

@woven drift that might end up being hard af but you go glen coco

[cunning dew]

someone copy this

its fun to do

[warped cave]

is there an optimal way to pack everything together as tightly as possible? I want my island to feel like an actual town

[tiny nova]

This look better? :0

[woven drift]

@woven drift u read my mind by that was my fear lol that it would be more than I could handle

[blazing sorrel]

I just unlocked terraforming and made a triforce lake yayyy
@heady dew this is amazingggg!

[pure nimbus]

Just thinking about how I have the worst town hall placement out of any island

[woven drift]

Someone should do it tho lmao

[heady dew]

@blazing sorrel it’s actually pretty easy to make I did it in like 15 minutes

[blazing sorrel]

i love it! my bf and i debated making our whole island a triforce hahah

[somber swallow]

@abstract onyx very cute!

[deep spear]

was your townhall the one right infront of the airport

[balmy nexus]

Wicked cool shadow

[heady dew]

I think I have the furthest back town hall that the game allows

[tawdry moat]

Figures stalls out! Lastly, change center thingy to a fountain or leave as is?

[gray osprey]

Just finished my cafe 🙂 any opinions ?
@abstract onyx looks amazing

[balmy nexus]

You should make a fairy fountain too!

[somber swallow]

@pure nimbus same, mine is wayyy too close and off center!

[heady dew]

I’m gonna put a master sword custom design in the middle of the triforce lake

[versed kelp]

Is this layout weird... I thought it was cool but it doesn’t feel natural anymore and that’s what I wanted to go for 🙄

[balmy nexus]

Why is everyone so concerned about layouts lately

[dreamy cliff]

If you want natural uh that’s pretty Griddy lol

But I think it’s nice?

[balmy nexus]

Layouts don't always truly display what your town looks like.

[tiny karma]

@versed kelp I like how you have your houses!

[tawdry moat]

layouts/island is an interchangeable term ig

[pulsar zodiac]

Yeah but I must have the prettiest island to win the game

[woven drift]

@versed kelp I like that there’s a lot of focus leading up t the museum super cool!

[versed kelp]

I think what I mostly don’t like is that it’s pretty much all in the first level and not really spread out

[dreamy cliff]

Imo layout is pretty important to set before everything
But I know some people just work small portion first

[pure nimbus]

I chose literally the worst island in the game

[abstract onyx]

@versed kelp it’s not natural but I love how you put your houses ! The residential area looks pretty cool !

[woven drift]

@pure nimbus let’s see it

[balmy nexus]

See mine doesn't look like much has been done to it, but that's far from the truth. I use a lot of custom pathing and my cafe and library/lecture hall look just look like rectangles.

[tiny karma]

I didn’t change my river at all, just been workin with it 🙂 I hate when my town hall is tho 😩

[haughty oak]

can i ask for opinions on my path layout on here? 🥺

[heady dew]

Am I the only one who thinks what villagers u have is an important part of the layout

[tiny karma]

@heady dew certain villagers houses do not match my aesthetic and even if they are cute they gotta go

[scenic fulcrum]

Does anyone have the layout where the riverbanks are parallel and the residential area is like 3 steps in from the airport because I’m struggling so hard with river terraforming lol

[past jetty]

Omg that second pic! So cute!

[tiny nova]

@heady dew I'm torn on villagers/dreamies in general
I have all mine but now I'm torn between going all the way with ones I like or letting my originals stay

[carmine hill]

76./'0--

[pure nimbus]

@woven drift I don’t have a picture but it’s a double south and the town hall is like 7 spaces away from the airport and off centered

[carmine hill]

oops sorry cat jumped on keyboard

[deep spear]

i have double south too

[heady dew]

Idk it just bothers me when someone has a rlly nice island but they have the worse 10 villagers in the game

[brave lynx]

Hey y’all, I’m trying to have an upper level shopping district theme going on for the clothing shop and nooks cranny... has this already been done? I’m having trouble getting inspired 🤔

[ancient elbow]

Double south is really hard, I’m glad I have town hall centered tho

[past jetty]

I wish I chose an island with an aligned town hall to the airport it would have been so much better

[vast cradle]

Double south was a mistake 😦

[pure nimbus]

Ikr

[scenic fulcrum]

ah I didn’t realize it had a name haha

[woven drift]

It would all be better if we can move town hall. Take my money Nook

[tiny nova]

100k bells to move town hall

[pure nimbus]

I wanna reset so bad but I have too many good villagers and too many hours put in

[scenic fulcrum]

I literally don’t know how to terraform the rivers besides just connecting them but that causes so much limitations in a double South Island

[vast cradle]

I'd pay 1 mil to move town hall

[gritty field]

Dunno if it’ll help anyone but I do a lot of garden stuff and this is my entrance!

[carmine hill]

ugh i made this set up for my museum across from a horizontal river and i wanted to put a bridge but it wont be symmetrical with the entrance does anyone have an idea

[past jetty]

I'm going to make a second island on my second switch if I can

[heady dew]

Look how far back my town hall is lol

[ancient elbow]

Jeez

[deep spear]

i just cut off the rivers at the mouth

[tiny nova]

That is far

[tiny karma]

I love when it rains.

[ancient elbow]

That is so far

[past jetty]

Same @heady dew

It looks closer because of all my stuff there but trust me

It is FAR

[pure nimbus]

@deep spear I’m doing that too

[deep spear]

yeah its easy to work around for the most part

[heady dew]

@past jetty I love how far back it is it’s so out of the way it’s great

[tawdry moat]

😌 almost done! thoughts ?

[tiny karma]

The far right town hall was the biggest mistake i made. Legit would pay an arm and leg for the south entrance one

[scenic fulcrum]

wow I might do that

[woven drift]

After making a diner, I realized I didn’t want a diner here lol

[somber swallow]

@tawdry moat Wow it's coming along very nicely!

[past jetty]

I wish I aligned my plaza with the town hall entrance

[deep spear]

id hate having east or west river mouths

[woven drift]

@tawdry moat it looks nice!!

[tawdry moat]

thanks! :)

[past jetty]

It would look so much better but my resident area is stopping me from doing that

[pure nimbus]

South and East is the best one

[pulsar zodiac]

@tawdry moat Massive improvement from the blank space you started with, well done

[scenic fulcrum]

I hate rivers in general should I just have a no river island aha

[woven drift]

@tiny karma somewhere Tom Nooks eats just perked up because you said you’d pay an arm and a leg

[past jetty]

I really don't feel like moving all of my stuff to the beaches to reset in a way

I want 5 stars so badly

[tiny karma]

like if you have the far right resident services its an odd number on one side and then an even on the other so anything you place gonna look OFF

[tiny nova]

My map is nice because the south most river makes a little walkway area near the Able Sisters

My island also has chicken pox hehe

[balmy nexus]

Love that market max!

[deep spear]

i saved my river because it looked nice

[past cloud]

lmao wait what's with the chicken pox?

[pure nimbus]

@tiny nova you have the best map in the game lol. From that strip of land that sticks out to the river mouths and town hall

[primal ginkgo]

I’m working on my house area rn and I’m not sure if I should put it up on the tallest hill so I’m the queen or if I should lower it down one and do waterfalls or something around the house...

[green token]

The beginning of my new museum area

[tiny nova]

@past cloud It's just path circles! I don't want full paths

@pure nimbus And thamk you! <3

[neat citrus]

suggest to decorate light house area?

[scenic fulcrum]

@deep spear yours do look nice I like what you did

[dusty vapor]

How/can you move your resident services building?

[tiny karma]

@primal ginkgo my house was surrounded by cliffs and it looked nice but contant upward angle when i just wanna be vibin in my yard got annoying, i suggest the hill!

[pure nimbus]

You can’t

[tiny nova]

@neat citrus me? :0

[past jetty]

Also, gonna remind you guys of my proudest areas because I require validation from others

[pulsar zodiac]

@neat citrus A nautical/fishing theme. Perhaps and fishing spot or even a fishing market?

[abstract onyx]

Im dying with this layout ! Any idea how to change it ?

[primal ginkgo]

Hmmm I didn’t think about that thank you!

[scenic fulcrum]

If anyone has more picture of their layouts of double south islands I would appreciate it lmao

[past cloud]

people have such nice maps I cant even get my regular island to look ok lmaoo

[past jetty]

Get rid of that river reaching off and chop chop your east river at the mouth, fill in that space with something else

[tiny nova]

I haven't terraformed my rivers or anything because they look nice now!
I also really haven't touched my upper cliff areas, trying to get the bottom part all good

[orchid crater]

Slowly working on mine

[past jetty]

Whats with that villager house at the bottom? Why is it reaching out like that

Oooo i love seeing symmetrical islands they're so cool

But I could never do one

[tiny nova]

I fear doing symmetrical because something isnt going to line up and I'm going to hate it

[primal ginkgo]

Mine was symmetrical originally but I found that I preferred to decorate my town when it wasn’t like that

[tiny nova]

I do natural so it isnt a problem haha

Terraforming? Whose she I've only made a duck pond

[dreamy cliff]

Wao your RS is literally directly align with your airport

Super nice

[past jetty]

I wish I reset enough times to choose an aligned resident services

I chose my current island because it had a natural shitty looking heart lake that I got rid of almost immediately

[orchid crater]

Thank you :) I'm not trying to go 100% symmetrical so I don't mind. I dont want it to look too natural either. So I'm happy with my work but I haven't finished everything

[tiny nova]

I like my heart lake

[spare crater]

Hii I have this area but I’m debating either taking it all down or do something with the layout already but I have no idea :(

[tiny nova]

Haven't done anything around it yet

[primal ginkgo]

@spare crater mii that looks like a perfect spot for a reading nook!

[pulsar zodiac]

^

[spare crater]

Ouu!! I could do that ! I have one like just below my house but I’d love to make another one !! (:

[rocky fiber]

Y’all gonna hate mine I feel like but I don’t know where to regain space looking for suggestions

[cobalt patrol]

I was just lf celeste and,,,

[tiny nova]

You're making me impatient for snow@cunning dew

[spare crater]

Thanks so much I’ll send a pic in here when it’s done

[dusty finch]

Is there a way to move the airport or town hall bc it’s driving me crazy

[cunning dew]

i dont like the snow lmao

[pulsar zodiac]

Coffee shop with a reading area? @spare crater

[rain rivet]

No @dusty finch

[primal ginkgo]

When winter comes I’m gonna have to remove all my ground covering Dx

[dusty finch]

Oh god

[pulsar zodiac]

Could differentiate it from the current one

[rain rivet]

It's one of the random options when you pick your island.

[tiny nova]

@rocky fiber your island looks like my thought process

[somber swallow]

@spare crater maybe put fencing on the upper cliffs around the edges? ive seen others do it and its such a cute look

[brittle crescent]

@cobalt patrol what is that

[zealous sentinel]

@rocky fiber i literally aspire to have an island like that

[rocky fiber]

Aw thankya

@zealous sentinel it’s a big wip

[livid drum]

I’m too afraid to terraform excessively so my island is very similar to how it started but I like the way it all flows

[sick ivy]

Ooh, love the island name, Mokuba

[livid drum]

It sounds nice and tropic but it’s also the bane of a pit in hell

[median cliff]

i origonally wanted my homes close together (like rows of housing) but now i want them more spread out and idk what to do cause i dont wanna start over

[vivid hill]

I’m too afraid to terraform excessively so my island is very similar to how it started but I like the way it all flows
@livid drum I LOVE how the layout looks!

[ruby snow]

where i make wishes!! 😊 🌟

[tropic coral]

How do you put stairs going down to the secret beach?

[alpine jolt]

Is there anyway to get a 5 star island without fences? I really hate fences. I try my best to make my whole island accessible. The only fenced area I have ia my cafe, but other than that, no fences at all. This is the only thing I have trouble with!

[bleak ore]

@alpine jolt street lights garden lanterns

[verbal obsidian]

Any threads for waterfall ideas?

[bleak ore]

a lot of flowers

[foggy folio]

Can i visit someone’s island? For inspo?

[alpine jolt]

@bleak ore Do you have 5 stars without fences?

[verbal obsidian]

Any good layouts for waterfalls ?

[bleak ore]

no but, i know those items count on increasing your island rating

[tiny nova]

@alpine jolt why not just use bushes?

[bleak ore]

oh yea bushes too

[tiny nova]

Like the 'hedge' fence

Or actual bushes

[bleak ore]

i would love to open my island...but i have money trees that i dont shake lol

[pulsar zodiac]

@alpine jolt If you have a lot of inaccessible cliff space facing south. You could try hiding fencing there
Out of sight, but still counts

[alpine jolt]

Does anyone have 5 star island without fences? I just want to know if this is possible

[fringe thicket]

U can also put like individual fences instead of having a whole line

[abstract onyx]

Any idea for this area ?

[ruby snow]

@bleak ore you can put a fence around them! but in my experience no one's shaken any of my money trees people are usually nice if you tell them not to!

[lunar mesa]

just thought i’d show off my new film sets

[turbid raptor]

cute concept!!! @lunar mesa

[verbal obsidian]

Fan or No Fan of this waterfall layout?

[lunar mesa]

absolute fan!! @verbal obsidian

[balmy nexus]

Love that waterfall

[lunar mesa]

it’s gorgeous

[pulsar zodiac]

Looks good, would probably look a lot nicer with some greenery around it

[verbal obsidian]

Working on the greenery still. Was just curious is people like the cutouts I did for this waterfall. Thanks

[past cloud]

It looks great, but if an npc spawn in the mini sections in between, wont it be impossible to reach?

[verbal obsidian]

@past cloud not necessarily. I could just terraform there

[past cloud]

Yah but you can't terraform near villagers

[turbid raptor]

i love waterfalls so much!! you made it look so good!! 😭💕 i wish they'd make the sounds of the waterfall more subtle though i feel like they're so loud

[patent sky]

NPCs will literally spawn anywhere

[pulsar zodiac]

He's becoming one with the fish

[patent sky]

Fully clothed

[past cloud]

CJ just really likes fish

[pulsar zodiac]

To catch the fish, you must become the fish

[past cloud]

CJ words of wisdom lmao

[echo kraken]

Does anyone know if they will ever increase bridge/incline limits... the limit put a huge dent in my design plans.. I could easily use 4 more

[abstract onyx]

@echo kraken same ! I’m feeling so frustrated !

[echo kraken]

@abstract onyx literally the worst!!!!

I’m going to chat with Nintendo tomorrow & give them a suggestion to please put an increase in a NEAR future update

[abstract onyx]

@echo kraken and of course you discover that you can only put 8 when you already put the museum on top of a mountain !

[uneven hazel]

whats the incline limit ??

[bleak ore]

8 each

[echo kraken]

@uneven hazel 8 😭😭😭

[west marsh]

I need help. Should I keep the flower garden on the second pic, or move it to the area on the first pic... it’s hard to tell the difference. Garden is in front of the island. I want to move to far back

[woven drift]

@woven drift be like crafting, and D.I.Y

[agile mantle]

@hollow echo maybe a little market area?

[woven drift]

No like pick thing off the groung and remove tress

[soft sparrow]

Alright so I just want peoples opinions real quick before I get my terraforming permit, what do you guys reckon is the best overall path to use for your island?

[hollow echo]

i have a market planned at the bottom right shdggff 😭

[woven drift]

@agile mantle Animal crossing is your reality now

Ok I’ve been putting this off Cos I’m so shy, but a player just said my island is really cool, and another player said they like it.... So, I’m riding that confidence boost, and posting this XD

[maiden lodge]

send me your proudest areas

[restive spindle]

@next cradle ITS PERFECTLY SYMMETICAL

[bleak ore]

self-isolation + animal crossing = major in island design
if(island = 5 stars){

[next cradle]

Is that bad? 😦

[maiden lodge]

the heart is lowkey anazing

[woven drift]

Can some one help me clean up my isle

[next cradle]

I have OCD (trauma thing) so I have to make my areas conform LOL

[west marsh]

@pulsar shore it looks way better from overview

[bleak ore]

if(island = 5 stars){
PHD in island design;
}
else{
more terraforming;
}

[maiden lodge]

lmaoo

[hollow echo]

@next cradle can i visit ur island😳 it looks so beautiful!!

[pulsar shore]

@west marsh looks so good!! Love the hedges

@agile mantle 😮👏👏👏

[woven drift]

is this a repost

[bleak ore]

i consider my island complete....kinda

[woven drift]

my island will never be complete because i add seasonal changes

[bleak ore]

so everything is the best >:D...kinda

[west marsh]

I thought I was done, til I debated on moving my hybrid garden

[pulsar zodiac]

I intend on changing flowers out per season

Can't wait to give up on that idea

[verbal obsidian]

I used my peninsula as my hybrid garden. Just a thought.

Mums will look great in Fall. Unfortunately my island’s native flower is Mums. Lol I took most of those out.

[maiden lodge]

what shall i do in this empty corner? 🤔

[agile mantle]

ok but late night layout gang is best island layout gang

[woven drift]

@pulsar zodiac i have a park on the left side and i use a custom path for its walking areas, so i change it seasonally

[verbal obsidian]

what shall i do in this empty corner? 🤔
@maiden lodge could be a little stall area for fruits, or a coffee cafe.

[woven drift]

not only that but o change my robot hero, bears etc color

[maiden lodge]

i like that

[bleak ore]

I need to get robot hero so i can stop playing this game lol

[pulsar zodiac]

Sounds tedious, but I bet it looks amazing

[bleak ore]

thats my goal XD

[woven drift]

summer & spring

its hard but oh so worth it

[pulsar zodiac]

Also that must the be the most amount of people on one island I've seen

[cedar sierra]

@maiden lodge My graveyard. Looks nicer in game but wtv

[pulsar zodiac]

Didn't even know you could get 3 columns of villagers

[maiden lodge]

i love the statue so much!! Im also planning on making a cemetery and you just hyped me up lmao @cedar sierra

[woven drift]

Neatskidoodle

[kindred nexus]

I need help making a map for my village type island

[woven drift]

season tingz

@woven drift also beautiful islamd

[orchid iron]

i wish other people could terraform for me. like hire a landscaper.

[kindred nexus]

Me too

[woven drift]

LMAO

hell yeah!

[kindred nexus]

I'm so uncreative i have no idea how to lay it out

[woven drift]

imagine if there was like
leif's landscaping service

[kindred nexus]

I'd pay all my money for that

[misty cradle]

I have so much open space on my island and i have no idea what to do with it.. ideas?

[bleak ore]

i just got this in one of the balloon...so cool

[hollow echo]

it takes so mf long to terraform an area lmao

[woven drift]

@bleak ore JEALOUS

I believe if you try to set yourself to some kind of set of rules you wont have any fun, as far as your landscape goes

[kindred nexus]

I just like things to be symmetrical

[maiden lodge]

Also, here is my soon to be opened casino where i will be organizing various gambling gamee with high value items!! everything is catalogued but since i dont timeskip, all i can do for now is wait for my orders of machines to come! :)

[woven drift]

build the stuff you like and if something isnt right you can change it

[next cradle]

yeah but real talk, removed every single cliff from my island and filled in every river, then I had to measure everything out and make sure the layout was identical on both sides (the river's are slightly off near the first fall, but you can't tell unless you look really close) ultimately I'm so in love with how my island turned out 😄 I've still got another 6 days to go before I can remove my mannequins (I'm avoiding time travel) but once the boulders are where I want them, it'll be time for me to decorate my island! 😄 so excited!!!

[kindred nexus]

I already have and wasted millions of bells😔

[woven drift]

moving islander homes is a pain for sure

[cedar sierra]

Y’all I’m close to finishing up relocating my homes for a residential area. Send me some residential areas for inspo please.

[woven drift]

i've spent like 200K thus far moving all my houses where i want them to be

[orchid iron]

yeah, i’m currently moving island homes so that i can terraform.

[delicate shale]

@next cradle what’s the circle in the center of your map for?

[maiden lodge]

bruh the amount of bells i have thrown out of the window to demolish and move is ASTRONOMICAL

[delicate shale]

got me curious..😎

[woven drift]

cant wait for sunday, my turnip prices this week didnt go above 200 i dont think

[next cradle]

it was originally going to be my quarry, until I realised there can only be 3 boulders per grid square, so now its my outdoor entertaining area (Fountain and table so far)

[delicate shale]

oh that’s dope

[agile mantle]

ajasjs why are my villagers awake its almost 1am

[woven drift]

you could use stone stools as a substitute

[next cradle]

Once my island is totally finished I'm going to host a party, I plan to give out a bunch of free stuff to celebrate XD been playing since March 29th I think, and I'm maybe 2 weeks away from being totally done 😄

[bleak ore]

ill donate crap ton of diy for that party XD

[woven drift]

I messed up the placement of these houses lol. So this was my solution instead of moving them all over again

[next cradle]

that looks great!

[woven drift]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[west marsh]

Can I see everyone’s flower gardens and I mean like a BIG flower garden. Please 🙂

[woven drift]

My whole island is a flower garden lol, i really need to clean up my flowers

[next cradle]

@tender harbor always measure out your buildings rior to setting aside spots for them

[wise solstice]

i don’t know which channel to post this but.

i’m looking for someone to place trees and flowers to make it nice and aesthetic. i’ll provide fruit, tools, etc. i’ll pay, DM if interested.

[cedar venture]

@orchid iron I’m planning that tomorrow since I’m gonna star terraforming 😭

Start*

[verbal obsidian]

What else can I do here? The villager house is being moved tomorrow. This is in my orchard part of island.

[blazing sorrel]

do you guys think its fine for your rivers to be all over the place or do you think that it looks better being clean?

[woven drift]

I personally like my rivers more natural. But nothing wrong with clean straight rivers 🙂

[next cradle]

it's personaly preference, really. Some like them wild and all over the place, others prefer them clean cut. It's all about the aesthetic you're looking for, in the end 🙂

[blazing sorrel]

and for the overall aesthetic of the island? how do you think both of them look?

[jagged warren]

I much prefer the look of natural winding rivers

[next cradle]

well for example, my rivers divide my "business" area from my residential

[pulsar zodiac]

I like rivers that flow, something that can look natural whilst flowing around projects

[blazing sorrel]

i'm just stuck on one area and the river is driving me crazyyy

[jagged warren]

oh if the river isnt working for me I remove it

[verbal obsidian]

Suggestions for diagonal cliff and having fence not connect?

[jagged warren]

the rest of your water just has to feel right still

[near meadow]

Guys help what do I put here. It’s behind resident services in a second level

[patent sky]

@blazing sorrel chaos

[blazing sorrel]

@near meadow a nice star gazing area would look cool? or a nice forest or garden 🙂

[near meadow]

@near meadow a nice star gazing area would look cool? or a nice forest or garden 🙂
@blazing sorrel thanks!

[blazing sorrel]

oh if the river isnt working for me I remove it
@jagged warren problem for me is that its right next to the river mouth and i think it might look silly if i just have the mouth there with no river

[patent sky]

I personally don't like the closed off river mouths either

[jagged warren]

i have closed off one of mine

you get used to it, or you can turn it into something. Try turning it into a fishing hole

you can also very easily hide a river mouth with some trees, they are smaller than you think

[misty cradle]

What should I fill all of this open space with?

[blazing sorrel]

you get used to it, or you can turn it into something. Try turning it into a fishing hole
@jagged warren i didnt even think of that! yes! thank you for the idea!

[near meadow]

What should I fill all of this open space with?
@misty cradle try a picnic, or a place where you and your villagers can chill

[blazing sorrel]

What should I fill all of this open space with?
@misty cradle my bf named his island delfino too! also parks, forests, and garden would work in those areas 🙂 even a market?

[patent sky]

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

[cobalt patrol]

Does anyone have any good designs for the fountains? I dont know what to put around it and it looks pretty plain

[swift stag]

New camping site

[brittle crescent]

I’m also wondering about fountain setups^^

[scenic jasper]

Idk what to do with the beach so....just puke this out

[blazing sorrel]

@misty cradle Park, cafe, hiking trail, graveyard, occult summoning grounds, amusement park, headquarters of the nook cartel, altar to stringfish
@patent sky headquarters of the nook cartel 😆 😆 😆

[jagged warren]

Idk what to do with the beach so....just puke this out
@scenic jasper I love the idea of sectioning off areas of your beach to make little sections - Looks great!!

[trim finch]

hi everyone 🙂 so let me say what’s happening right now! i’m very upset with my island and i don’t wanna reset but i feel like i should bc my island isn’t working out nicely.:( my resident services is sooo close so i can’t make a cute entrance. my island is set up super weird. no one likes to help me and give island tips or help me make it look good. i don’t know how to make it cute! i need help before i cry:( if anyone can help can you plewseeeeeee message me or ping me! i need help with relocating things, editing my island, and in general just making my island look good. tysm for your time :):cookiehahatongue:

[woven drift]

This is the only fountain on my island idk if its any good or not haha

[trim finch]

@woven drift super cute

[scenic jasper]

Made my island basic af! I’m too old to go all decorative lol

[hollow dew]

that looks adorable

[wanton glade]

Can anybody recommend how to decorate roalds lawn? He’s a penguin, his exterior contains all Ice items but I don’t have any of those...

[viral geyser]

Super cluttered and my framerate drops by half when I try to enter my "city"

[glass plinth]

Trying to fill these spaces I need some ideas!! Dm me if u can help I already did a caffe area idk what else to do

[patent sky]

@viral geyser join the frame rate drop club LOL

[hollow dew]

@woven drift may i suggest making the path extend up to resident services and moving the bench/flowers down to the south side of the fountain??

[woven drift]

frame rate? we don’t know her.

[patent sky]

@trim finch just make the ideal place where you want to live, don't worry about what others are doing or if you need a "cute" traditional 7 waterfall entrance

[viral geyser]

@patent sky LOL I kept trying to tear it apart and redo it to get a balance between # of furniture and no-lag. Didn't work, tried it three times and I gave up trying to make it stop lagging haha

[hollow dew]

@patent sky someone needs to pin that meme

[patent sky]

I found switching out repeated items might help? Idk I swapped out the fish in my market and it seems better

[woven drift]

@hollow dew nah, but thanks for the suggestion 🙂

[rocky trail]

Liked this view of my campsite and wanted to share 🙂

[woven drift]

@glass plinth WE HAVE THE SAME ISLAND NAME LOLLL. and i have rivers going out the same way on the bottom 😂 i put all my villagers houses on those two sides though

[viral geyser]

Hmmm I have like maybe a gazillion stalls clustered in one place, I unfortunately may not be able to take out repeats in my little city area haha

[swift stag]

@woven drift double south too!
