Animal crossing is a perpetual state of almost done
I wanna get more Redd statues ;-;
Any ideas on what I could put here other than flowers,,, I feel like they don't really fit
I don’t think you can ever be done, more so just being content 😬
Animal Crossing 4.44: You Can(not) Complete
^
Put gnomes
@woven drift bushes!! I'll definitely try that thank u
i used to hate this residential area but now i finally have the diys to make it look decent 
Yeah everytime you finish something, you wanna do another thing
also,, my game has been so rainy lately and my island is just like overrun by flowers
I like the country fencing on that very fitting 🙂
Man id kill for a few days of rain
I think May has a lot of rain for NH
Too many things to water
Yea it rains in may I believe
I need more tiki bar ideas 😭
it’s nice until you have so many flowers that you don’t know what to do with
anyone have any ideas on how to make a big area like that nice??
Literally same
I hate how they take up a slot per flower
Instead of stacking
I moved all of mine to the beach until I just sold them to Timmy and tommy
I sell the hybrid ones on nokazoon
I hate flowers in this game
Flamethrower update when
I need to start using nookazon
Lmaoo
Ichigooooo
How is it going?
Looks way better!!
Thanks haha
In the floor or up the cliff?
Trying to move my rocks
maybe some bushes aslso
@raven kindle cliff next to the stone lion dogs on the top and bottom to the furthest next to stone lion dogs if that makes sense
It’s cute but I think it could look better hmmmm
I need mush lamp diy
can someone show me what to create with a very small space near the beach?
I need more 😢
a spa probably?
How small are we talkin
let me show you a picture in a minute

This channel 😭 ❤️
I was pimping Celeste in another channel but I let ppl from this channel in for free to hangout lol
Tfw a hunter must hunt
Lmao
@frozen axle that's dope tho
That does look cool
I'd die if you had a demon summoning circle path under the fire pit
Girl that's beautiful 😩
https://media.tenor.com/images/9baa9cd1467cd8b33a12b353d4392441/tenor.gif
Wowieeee the glo up
What the heck lmao
She left her ex behind and moved on
That's so nice
She do be lookin kinda beautiful doe
I'm really messing the the natural vibes and pastel colors
Soooo CUTE
^
I had to make the neighbourhood entrance look extra cute for the villagers 🙊
how do you guys work around all the inconveniences in game?:# i find myself ridiculously frustrated whenever shit doesnt align well together. my house cant be aligned with the townhall building. paths cant be aligned perfectly with ANY of the entrances.... staircases cant be aligned with the museum entrance... i'm growing more and more frustrated with how little thought they put into so much of this
@inland rose take breaks
Lmao it do be like that
i keep trying to come up with a nice layout/town area for all my villagers and me around the townhall and it's just... so bad. it's also so dumb that with my villagers, we're 11. wtf do i evendo with that number of houses? how do i make it look organised and nice together?
@woven drift @north saddle a small area like this we talking
I really dont like how nooks and museum are 7 wide but have double doors that center right on the middle tile
Makes pathing to them super annoying
In all honesty and I kid you not, I spent like 2 weeks tryna come up with an entrance for my island lol and I didn't have SHIT in my head. I just stayed on this channel and kept on looking for inspiration and evertuslly it hit me and now I'm working on my dream
@wheat trench you can out the log table and benches and maybe a little swing
you could put a picnic area or a small garden there
I really recc you take breaks, take it slow, and don't be too hard on yourself @inland rose
Or yeah a picnic area !!
@inland rose Patience is key! If you find yourself feeling a bit irritated, maybe take a break or something otherwise it will build up
oooh a picnic area seems cool
Cloudy I’m sick of your perfect island 😭
My entrance isn’t even a grand entrance. It’s just a bunch of paths leading to diff things but I like it 🙂
I think they spawn anywhere with water 🙂 besides if it’s just 1 block
i have been taking breaks tho. i finished cleaning up my entire idsland two days ago. havent played yesterday, just looked around for ideas. finally came up with a layout i kinda like, started working on it, and now i realised my house cant be aligned with the townhall building
Tfw you spend an hour terraforming and realize the space is like 1 space too small for your design
@hollow horizon Helllooooo 🤗 you’re the sweetest!!!
Felt that
haha yes
@tender harbor bruh fish be spawning everywhere lol. I have dumbass villagers fishing at my waterfall base that's like only a block wide 😭
it's extremely frustrating cuz i also cant move the townhall and its not centered. i didnt know that would be a problem starting off, and its too late to restart the game. i got all the villagers i like :#
lmfao i love those pics
it's super frustrating sometimes but it can't really all be done in one day so don't push yourself. but don't forget that pacing is all in your own time, don't compare other people's islands to yours because that won't help!! you're gonna be so grateful for all of the progress you've made bc it's YOURS! patience, patience, patience. you've got this. it's gonna look so good YOU DO YOU @inland rose
@slow dagger LMAO my villagers fish when I’m terraforming then I close the water and they glare at me
its like... they did such a great job making their game easy going, calming, etc, but then they threw it all out the window by doing a lot of shit like this
@turbid raptor spoken like a queen
SAME!!!! I KNOW y'all been terraforming before and a villeger pops a squat right where you were about to put a path lol @woven drift
@swift stag NO YOU OMG 🥺🥺🥺💗
made a spot for flower breeding, I need help, any tips to give a farm vibe here?
I think Jenna and I have a crush
@inland rose it took me almost an entire day to set up the campsite to the point that I like it. Trust me it takes time
@slow dagger and they won’t move!!
@turbid raptor i get that im trying to be patient and not do it all in one day, but i cant even come up with any ideas and right now i have an empty island and the longer i keep it empty the more ill wanna quit
Im hip lmao @woven drift
@brazen horizon I’ll send a pic of my mini farm
I ask them to get up and they talking about today's a good day to read
I'm like bruhhhhh
Bad idea turning my switch on at 5 am but oh well
Look at this disgusting creature
@inland rose inspo maybe? Trying to help!
@slow dagger they’re like “I would move but I’m comfortable here sorry”
the ideas for small things like a nice campsite or making a pretty garden or a diner or whatever, i have those. it's how and where to place everything that gets me stuck :\ i cant make any progress before figuring out a layouy
Facts yo 😂
@frozen axle Oh my 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@frozen axle her lipstick is a shade off lol
Does may know how to make a good Zen spa area
Occupy resident services. Tom nook is the one percent
@slow dagger bit too pink bahahahaha
i try to work from big detail -> small detail so that i dont have to make major changes in the future. i dont have all the time in the world to play this game, so i would hate redoing too much of it in the future and i try to have like.. as best of a layout as i can for the time being, it's just really frustrating when nothing works together.
shir types really fast wow
Tbh lmao
i havent seen a single map of an island online that i actually liked. eeryone seems to have really nice areas, but the overall layout is messy. and it's fine if theyre okay with it but i just want something organized and convenient ):
My campsite is top left corner, and I’m working outward from that, if that helps. Get one area how you like it, then just mess around with the next until it feels right 🙂
Baby steps! 🙂
it just feels to me like they didn't think any of the customization and terraforming stuff through ):
@inland rose trial and error bro, Ive built and broken down my ideas SO MANY TIMES! I even restarted my entire game at one point. You have to live to learn bro, don't be afraid to test your ideas
I don't know if this is the right place to do it, but I've just unlocked paths and terraforming and I have a ton of flowers and paths, but don't know the best way to arrange them. DM me if you can help out and I'll send you what I've done so far 😁
Hey guys, I am looking for cafe inspiration, could anyone please DM me any pics or let me know if I can check our your island!
@slow dagger I WOULD LOVE TO RESET MY GAME for a better town hall location cuz i didnt know i wont be able to change it, BUT DAMN!!!! DUDE!!! i have raymond, marshal, audie, lily, diana, tangy, fang like i have all the villagers i wanted and it took literal DAYS!!! to get them
and now im just stuck with an awful town hall location
Oof, yea I wouldn't reset in that case lol

I’d love to reset since my RS is 6 blocks, uncentered, off the airport. But you can work around it!
Aye remember this. I say it alot - restrictions breed creativity, no such thing as a bad setup. Work with what you got and find the beauty in the faults @inland rose
@inland rose try thinking less symmetrically maybe? usually symmetry is something that makes people hit a hard wall towards building
or space :(
shir your pfp really describes your mood rn
@hollow horizon 10 here!
Shiiit mines like 15 lol
@swift stag lucky! I’d pay bells to move the stupid RS 😭
LMAO JENNA
I cant wait for someone to get an island where RS is blocking off the airport
@turbid raptor hahahahaha you did not 🤣🤣🤣
ankha's house. she lives on a platform above ketchup & kiki; i wonder if she feels like she's looking down on them... 👀☺️✨
@lunar crest
wow
COME BACK
looking at those zen garden patterns are hurting my custom design slots
denise thats beautiful
The flexers pulled up so hoona needs to leave lmao, he's not ready - I'm outta here 😂 fr tho I gtg
oh speaking of i still havent used bamboo in any of my builds
mind if i flex my entrance again
Aww bye see ya later!! 
🦾
I have bamboo stuff everywhere I’m quite obsessed
lucky & roscoe's deck is done! just gotta add some little furniture staples 🙂
need to start using it
@woven drift Very impressive work 😍😍😍
i just wanna get down to the small details but i know i wont be able to build around small details. i pm do this for a living i literally design small towns in a mobile game and how i do it is i go big -> small, like, first the layout, figure out where i wanna place the houses, where i want pathways, etc. i have some restrictions ofc but theyre all CENTERED and SYMMETRICAL and i can remake anything to fit when it doesnt align well (3d modeling and all) but this game just literally makes me wanna THROW MY SWITCH AWAY ITS SOOO POORLY DONE on that level its just 😡 !!!! I CANT!!! CENTER MY HOUSE!!! ANYWHEREEEE
I love the nature feeling @north saddle
@granite iron I rly like that custom path!
@swift stag tysm 🥺🥺🥺
@north saddle amazingggg, those round stepping stones are dropdead gorgeous!!
AND WHY IS IT 11 HOUSES THATS LIKE LITERALLY THE WORST NUMBER OF ANYTHING 

thank you 🦾
🍤
It looks like my island is zen themed but it’s not lol Idk why I have lots of those
You don’t have to have 11 lol. I have 10
10 + my own
I had another one I terminated
Right, I have 9 + mine
then you dont have akll 10 villagers yet
forcing symmetrical builds is just forcing yourself in pain lol
I’m aware and I want to keep it that way lol
lucky bastard
My rivers had to be symmetrical and it was pain in the ass but lucky to have gotten the two openings for what I wanted
ever since ive played building games, i threw symmetry out the window cuz of how they make it look bland and how the process is more of a headache than actually being enjoyable
Yeah that’s true sometimes I wanna tell myself “it’s not that serious” lol
yeah but in this game like what i do every morning is i get up talk to villagers go to nooks and ables'. if all of thosse are scattered all around my island i would legit wanna DSFLDFSLFDS
so i just want everything smooshed together nicely but its so fkin difficult
and i have like all the furniture/design ideas for everything i want ON the isalnd
i mean you could do it smooshed together asymmetrically
yall are just fucking heroes
it doesnt have to be all over the place
Yeah mine is pretty aligned
can i see ur layout?
I themed each of the little isles on my island on a flower
I used holes to align them
Red spider lillies when
public fountain area i just finished
My paths arent symmetrical tho
Except the 4 houses on top have their own things and bigger spaces which I need to fix
same. only thing about using holes is that they disappear if you go to someone else's island or if a day cycle passes
Just use paths to mark spaces
thtas why you should use custom designs
How dare you bob
that emote lmao
Pink island
@frozen axle what a good idea
oh denise ur layout is actually so nice
That’s the face Denise makes when she’s sleeping and wakes up at 5am having a panic attack knowing bob is missing a strip of path
LMAOOOO
I went it blindly terraforming that I stressed myself out
I debated loading the game rn to fix bob’s path

This ones gonna be funeral island once i can breed out enough black roses
Username checks out
Dang you’ve got a lot of water
We are the water
Bottom rights gonna be blue land, need to breed those out
No idea what to do for the maze
I like the idea or diff colors everywhere 🙂
The oranges are all really pretty if you don’t have a spot for them yet
Blue sucks so much
My blues don’t duplicate for anything. It’s so infuriating
The literal worst
my blue hyacinths and pansies do and I don’t even want them
Need ideas to help this battle lol
Yea but blue roses and windflowers look nicest imo
I’ve got a ton of orange hyacinths and instead of being responsible and getting rid of them I just have let them grow like crazy
I highlighted two areas on my orchard. Should the bell trees be on the first cliff and the turnips on the second or should it be the other way around? There are fruits on both levels.
And that garbage wont breed for anything
Bell trees closer to the bottom imo
Okay, that’s where they are now cool
Is top right a star gazing area?
On my map?
Yes
That’s gonna be a secret pond after a nature trail
I put the whites by my house
if i add another user to my switch account, can i add that user to my town and have a 12th house?
Oh fun!
I made mine college town theme
@surreal yoke I wanna see
@inland rose I know there’s a way to multiplayer but I forget how to do it
I'm at work ;_;
@frozen axle mind sending your overview map instead? im curious how it looks
That’s ok mb next time!
Outdoor gym
What like just the whole town map?
But idk what else to put
just spam stacks of books everywhrre
Oh tru
yeah the map on the phone
I posted it earlier, but here
I missed out making this p5 themed
Still need to work on the bottom right
With calling cards on bulletin board
Its a mess down there
@surreal yoke a science center. Use the anatomy figurines they sell at nooks , the chalkboard and space stuff. Maybe even the fossils
Oh truuuuu
I really wish you could terraform the beaches away
Same
Wow great terraforming
any ideas to decoarate this space ?
The part where the land and beach meets is irritating when I want to add fences along that area
oh man your map looks like a motherboard
I just want my island to be a bunch of independent isles
@woven drift picnic or fencing
Does anyone have the mummy costume i could catalog for my digsite? 😄
But the beach screws everything up
Ahhh I need the Sphinx
Is it a diy? I have it cataloged somehow but cant buy it
No it’s a gulliver item
two pyramids???
Ahhh
Nice Giyuu fit
I like how the curvature of the earth makes the opposing wall look massive
yea it does wow
Nice Giyuu fit
@woven drift Thanks! 😄 friend actually made one herself.
two pyramids???
@finite basalt 1 more and it's the 3
yea that is how math works
What do you think?
Just started decorating my island finally
That arcade flooring is kicking my nostalgia in the balls
@junior burrow that looks great o: do you mind sliding me the custom code if you can for the flooring?
Literally every AMC arcade ive been to has that carpet
i need that design for my basement
@junior burrow that looks great o: do you mind sliding me the custom code if you can for the flooring?
@woven drift thanks! I made the floor my self - it’s that weird arcade carpet lol, I don’t have the code and I’m not on but will tell you when I do on
anyone have ideas for different areas
Ahh ok it looks really nice if you decide to upload it let me know id for sure download it lol @junior burrow
Have a designated smoking area
Ahh ok it looks really nice if you decide to upload it let me know id for sure download it lol @junior burrow
@woven drift ok I will thanks!
just like the real world lol
Lol
does anyone have a music area they can share for inspo?
soon
Just threw together a random area for the time being since my island is just flat and trash 
Yeye
I’m so mad they don’t have a clarinet in the game, I’ve been playing it for 5 years. At least they have cello, but I don’t play it as much as I do clarinet and piano
A strange creature blocks your path. Roll initiative
Woah didnt know the statue was that big
Omg that’s so cute!!!
thank u @bright rover 🥺🥺
@turbid raptor this is so cute, mine is too close together, gotta work on it!
@ebon egret thank u sm!!! and that was mine before i had to relocate where it was and everything 😭
I need to redo my shop area i just through them in a corner near my zen/zuckers food court area lmao
Ignore the missing custom path tile 💀
i wonder if you can have RS, Secret beach, airport all lined up in the map? how lucky would you have to be
probably pretty damn hard to get it like that
would be so cool tho lol
yea it really would'
anyone have the issue of buttons not fully working on their joycons? Trying to hold A to creep on bugs and my character won't do the stealthy walk
also do you guys think having the airport and RS lined up is overrated? cause when you think about it the paths are always a little off anyway :/
to quote someone up there who said this, restrictions mean more creativity
so i think that even if the rs and airport are lined up, it matters how you make it look and feel
okay so ive been playin around with ideas a bit more
which one do yall think works better?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd4WlxAYBz8 just saw this on youtube, holy moly by far the best island I've ever seen -_-……..
간단한 섬 소개 영상입니다.
마이디자인은 나중에 따로 가이드영상과 함께 공유 하도록 하겠습니다.
i just restarted my second island after selling audie to someone. i wanted a different name and character name, plus different set up lol
@inland rose 2nd looks awesome
makes me sad my island looks like a jungle compared to this.
the left one?
Right one
or right
do you know if those paths are available anywhere 😮
jungle island would look nice
I'm looking for some pattern to decorate part of the ground on my island into a turnip field, does anyone have one to recommend ?
trynna get some inspirations looking around, but that just looks crazy.
like he's playing a different game XD....
Is it easier to just flatten the island out and then go from there for decorating? I'm just now starting to get the itch to start doing stuff on my island but idk its overwhelming LOL
so far pretty happy with the new map i chose -- rs and beach in the center, peaches, native flower windflowers/hyaclinths
i would have liked a different airport color from my main but cant win em all lol.
@inland rose feel like the right one looks better but left one would be better for airport convenience
can anyone help me out with my rock garden? I only have 3 rocks spawning in and have no idea what I’m doing wrong
Can anyone show me what their layout around their resident services is? im in a rutt and hate every design ive tried
@swift stag I LOVE UUUU OMG
hey all, what happens to custom designs if the creator deletes them, does it remove the ones you’ve saved by them?
Good question lol
I agree
@tame sky I'd imagine each design exists in its own instance, so I believe the ones you saved on your profile would remain, even if the creator deleted them
hey all, what happens to custom designs if the creator deletes them, does it remove the ones you’ve saved by them?
@tame sky Not once you've downloaded it. It's a copy of the file and doesn't share a live 'link' back to their version.
No matter what I build, nothing will ever top my Cocoa Falls.
I thought that was the case but just wanted to make sure! Thank you ☺️
@vivid geyser looks like I have a new addition to my island now lmfao
Imma do something like that but a rainforest instead
As that's moreso the theme of my isle - tropical rainforest
@slow dagger that's three entire acres full of stuff, so you kinda have to plan that from the beginning
HOLY CRAP @vivid geyser that is so good
I have the space, but amazing idea - it's very beautiful
This little bridge island is just down the river coming from the falls
im in love with that
@frozen axle i like how yours is a river town, it looks cool
LF: (REAL)Rock Head Statue... give me this and you may have ALL the items FT below...
FT: (REAL)Scary, Wistful, Calm, Common,Flowery,Jolly, Famous, Moody, Perfect, Quaint,Sinking
oops sorry guys...wrong window
yea pls advertise somewhere else
wrong window... my bad
how do you place your villagers? across the whole island or in a seperated area?
anyone have experience in making art with terraforming?
@frozen jolt use #custom-design-help🎨 when looking for designs, not here.
no its cool haha

im struggline to make mine look right
been working the past two days to completely clear my island to renovate. almost done just got to remove remainder paths some flowers and inclines/bridges
@turbid raptor omg ur campsite is gorgeous!! i love the butterfly themed book, where did you get it? 🤩
oooh @vivid geyser youre the person on reddit front page yesterday?
yeah the little island post with two bridges blew up
lots probably
What was post?
Is now a good time to post or should I wait another hour? 🤔
i gave all my villagers a wreath and now they all have it on their door aww
an hour its too early rn doubt people will be on this early
could i come visit someones 5 star island and look around? im trying to get ideas for my island
i have 5 stars if you want
Alright will do @woven drift
aight note to self, that the next hour is the best time to post
yeah i would like to visit yours
I checked history and my highest is 4.8k updoots a yr ago
damn u guys got some nice builds then
yeeeee i did it
oh congrats
I dunno I just played around and it ended up looking nice
gj
Just fours(three?) to go!
Here is my deconstruction progress. Takes less time than I expected
4hrs about lol
eek
Imma try and finish tonight so I can remake this weekend.
@sick cliff it was a hilly forest theme and I realized after making I didn’t want it lmao
mood ahaha
I’m gonna go countryside/farm. It’s the area I grew up in so I’m gonna try and make it like home
the coziest of coves
Thx. Me too 🙂
holy you got alot of patience
i would remove like 1/16th of the place and just stop for the day and continue tomorrow
Okay okay SO! I’ve got this area that leads from a cozy little entrance forest thingy to a path surrounded by waterfalls...but I have no idea what to put on the other side because it’s a tight fit between the river and the able sisters. Does anyone have any ideas?
I’ve just started terraforming so it’s a bit weird atm
I need park ideas
i’d probably put that right in front of the bridge instead, and a lil larger to fit fences etc. @woven drift
Smol area with a fountain ples
hm, maybe you can do hearts around the fountains! @sick egret
@woven drift oh that’s good!! Tysm!!
@sick egret what style?
Bc they dont look too good right beside the fountain
Hmmm whichever, im not really following anything
My fountain is black though
@sick egret I don’t have anything unfortunately, hopefully someone can help. Work calls!
Luckys House inspired me to build a graveyard
Isn't Lucky the mummy dog
Hi, Do you have any idea with what to do with all the flowers? wanted to do a big area with all the flowers to run into but it's not fitting well with a city-like island
Gotta have a sarcophagus somewhere
Anyone have a space/celestial themed island i can come visit for inspiration?
I have a Moon lake! But I'm not decorated yet
@woven drift Snap, I did the same for Lucky 🙂
Any 4/5 star Island where I can walk around for a bit? In need of some more ideas for my few empty spaces haha
Has anyone done one of those "memory gardens" for their islands where they put items from each of the first twelve months of playing?
I just put some black, purple, orange and white roses outsiide of luckys house and a tarantula statue lol
@woven drift nope it does sound like a great idea tho
Its a work in progress but I'm gonna put some stars and meteors
Finally done with my beach jungle! For resident area
Cute!
I like to make fancy stuff for my favourites, Rex has a farm, lucky a graveyard, del a island and pekoe a sand garden with Hotspring
The rest of the island though.... 🙃
Im putting genji at a sauna and zucker has his own food/ zen area going on lol
@sick egret omg I love that moooon!!! What is that item called??
Thats the cresent moon chair you get the diy from celeste
Okay so I want to ask a question for people just as an opnion just cause I want lots of people to visit, would you guys rather seeing villagers houses in like more of a neighbourhood area all put together in a way or would you guys rather it all spread out around the island? ☺️
neighborhood imo
Anyone have a town where their homes are near or surrounding their town hall?
@gusty briar i dooo
@soft sparrow varies each island is different
I have different neighbourhoods all over the map
@woven drift can you share pick of your map?
There we go
@gusty briar This is what mine looks like. Little mini neighbourhoods in different sections
I still havent terraformed much but im trying to now
Mines almost EXACTLY the same as mango layout like river location and airport/town hall
I’m wanting to make most of town in front then back is just wilderness
The blessing and curse of havinng the town hall be 2 feet away
Same Mango, my entire starting section is blank because i have no inspiration for an island entrance haha
that's my current island
Wanna visit my island? Not sure if i wanna keep my current paths but you can come take a look if you want
mine is so ugly 😦
I wanna make a island thats half traditional japan and half super modern tokyo, dunno how many modern items there are for that tho
im on day 7 and i hate it
@woven drift you have a lot of time don’t stress over it
Any tips? Its still a work in progress
@woven drift you have tia o: shes adorable
@woven drift more than you think
@woven drift you have tia o: shes adorable
@woven drift who is tia 🥺
@valid carbon is that kanto? Looks like the Town with mistys gym
Its not supposed to be lol
You don’t have tia
@woven drift is that not your elephant? Maybe i have her confused
I had it confused i lied ;-;
I do you can barely see her in mine
Ah i see i see
i have margie, big top, bangle, moose and katt 🥺 i love them all
Aww
I am trying to force out some of mine because game keeps assigning them without my consent 😦
sorry off topic 😭
My town hall is really close by too
does anyone have a flower orchard on their islands? and how does it look, i need to make one but idk how to make it look good!
This my entrance
I know this isn't the proper place, but damn is the May Day event underwhelming....
I need to make some hedges
@woven drift there are a lot of modern japanese items in the Nook Miles catalog
I should make a flag at some point lmao
Anyone have a picture that shows the dimensions of both able sisters and villager houses
does anyone have multilevel neighborhoods?
IDK if this is the right place to ask, but I’m looking for inspiration on flower orchards! Does anyone have one and pictures?
And nooks cranny
@arctic gate one sec
@arctic gate i do, but im still working on it
@woven drift ables is 5x4, villager homes 4x4 and nooks 7x4
I see i see thank you
@south wraith if you want to use them for hybridizing you can check #garden-science-discussion, otherwise just looking up "new horizons garden" online should do the trick
https://youtu.be/m7OCHK72yHo @arctic gate this was shared with me yesterday
@green zenith i will do that, thanks!
Im trying to find a path qr code that would work for an overgrown wooded area on my island
What I have planned so far, if anyone has advice for the neighborhood and bottom half of the island I'd really appreciate it. Struggling with the rivers and keeping the 8 hybrid gardens together ><
Can stairs be put right next to one another?
By god it’s so symmetrical!
@woven drift use #custom-design-help🎨 for that! this is just to show your island and ask questions about it. (:
Thansk so much! Not sure why i didnt see that haha
no problem!
@woven drift I don’t believe so
Could do maybe two spaces apart may look just as good?
Yeah but not as good
Fair
Imagine if stairs worked like terraforming, u placed 1 peice down a time and u could curve it
Only in our dreams
They need lilypads...
😯
O h
https://i.imgur.com/MxIGcBd.png is this any good lol
O h
I feel that
im already afraid of the work thats ahead of me
anybody have ideas of what i can do on my cliff
Made 2 of these but fish dont naturally spawn, any reason why?
they're shy
they are scared of you
Trying to make some beach houses out of my villagers houses. They’re about 3 blocks from the sand. Any suggestions on exterior design ideas?
The duck is eating them
dont think its too small bc i got a smaller one where they do spawn in
The duck scares them
LMAO
dang 😓
Have you given it some time? Reloaded the area?
I need help what should i put on a star themed island i feel like im already doing alot of things wrong lmao
yes, it’s been days ^^
uh
@woven drift put some stars
O:
I WAS GONNA SAY THAT
Great idea
or the sun
moon works too
Blue and purple flowers, kind of like Galaxy colors
is there a sun decor
I put some stars
hot
I do have to make like a propper star gazing area
holy shit now it looks galaxian
What kinds of stuff have you folks put in wooded areas? LIke garden benches and weeds and stuff?
I’m wondering if anyone is willing to share any inspo for how they set up a shopping area with Nooks and Ables? I’ve been struggling lol
the star feeling is underwhelming. not enough stars.
@woven drift trees
@candid plover youre right youre right ill cover the whole thing with stars
lol thank you i figured that
I do need more stars to craft the celeste diys and i need the other zodiac stuff
I've put a flowers, dirt paths, fences, bushes, and hedges on my forestry areas.
just giv the trading chat all ur nmts
Space poptarts sound... out of this world :))
STOP
😂😂 i had to
I CANGNTEGD
@woven drift you can see some of the items i've included here, lots of rocks is essential for me
@scenic blaze omg i love that
is that snoopy
man i wish the rock decor actually looked like rocks
Guys! My island is still 4 stars and I found one of these! Thought I had to have 5 star island before!
That’s exactly the same aesthetic i’m going for on my island @scenic blaze
@hot forum you got five stars!
you have 5 stars
@hot forum you might have had a 5-star island when your island loaded, so if you have 4 now, you had 5 at some point
check in with isabelle probably?
imagine having even a hybrid flower on ur island
imagine having flowers on your island
I just checked Iseabell keeps saying 4
@idle axle wanna swap inspo? i keep my AC twitter pretty up to date with my progress if you have one 🙂
@scenic blaze Well currently my island is completely under construction because i’m just starting to terraform to start making an island like this.. but i would still love your twitter
im so hopeless im paying someone to design my island
Humm, maybe if I pick up all the random items I dropped everywhere it will work 🤔
Idk if this is the right chat for that but I figured it is
@candid plover who and how much
75 nmt...
I see i see
LMAO
@idle axle oh don't worry only like 1/10th of my island is good right now lol but my twitter is https://twitter.com/sedumisland
I was nmt rich until that asshole cat robbed me of all my shit
Mystery islands are a scam ;-;
Joy lemme see the island layout
No raymond
shes designing but i can dm u ideas
hnggg molly
i need my duck friend
but i dont want to pay a fortune just to get her
i just got molly yesterday, she's so cute!
Don’t forget to get you ticket from Tom Nook today!
I just got Coco today and I'm so happy
has someone got any shopping area inspo? pref with no terraforming, i dont fuck with terraforming anymore---
Lucky moved in yesterday and i'm already tryna design my whole island around him
Idk how I hated Coco before
@slow dagger I say no to this omfg
@barren karma you sound like you have ptsd lol
coco still looks weird to me, shes like a coconut with bunny ears
I thought she was super creepy when I was younger but now I love her
coco is super sweet 
i do
i cant handle the patience needed
@scenic blaze this is my islands current state.. at first was going for a modern island but i’m clearing out everything to do a foresty island
This swamp/marshland for Molly is a non-starter. The vegitation close to water restrictions won't let me do anything decent. 😦
i made a super super rough plan for my island!! i know you can only have 8 bridges + inclines so i have to modify it a bit, but any thoughts so far? :0 it’s going to be more woodland/natural themed!!
That is so much going on but I like the name
@gusty briar not sure what to do with my entrance gang
@versed wadi yeah the restrictions annoy me too. I like having trees and stuff close to water
@idle axle mine started out kind of suburban with a residential neighborhood! it sounds like we had similar evolution of ideas lol. i haven't torn that part up yet but i'm going to eventually
FACTS
yea shdjdj i’m probably gonna simplify a ton and modify as i go aaa
That's my latest island plan. But I'm going to rip out the marshes now.. Molly can live near a pond on the farm with Fauna
@hot forum my understanding on a Jacobs ladder is they spawn when your islands scenery is in perfect conditions. So you could have met the natural requirement for attaining them.
im having a real isssue decorationg my shops any inspo would be a real help!
oh i love how you have the separate areas for each of your villagers, that’s so adorable and creative!!!
@woeful minnow I didn’t mean it in a bad way!
@versed wadi ooo i like it. i'm bummed your marshes aren't going to work out 😦
@frozen jolt that name sounds familiar where have I heard that from
@gusty briar oh i know!! you’re fine dw dw
I got 5 stars FINALLY after 200 hours of playtime i finally got it 😅
@gusty briar Oh NoOoo...wdum?
I still can’t decide on how I wanna terraform my island exactly. I have so many ideas but not enough areas
First attempt on Terra forming
Straight line gang 👏
Like I feel like I have heard someone on YouTube say that I can’t recall who lol
looks good louis!!
i got so into my island development, i dont have any ponds to catch fish
Hey so i reset yesterday and finally got three stars a few hours ago to terraform. Does anyone mind letting me visit their island for inspo? Im struggling to see what i want to do
i cant get a frog or catfish rip
oh hah
@woven drift thanks
@heady verge Its best to include every biome in your plans 🙂
i know :(
@woeful minnow technically the big bear your farm and the ones near museum are ponds
@heady verge yeah I feel you. I removed my rivers to rebuild new ones and I can’t decide where I want the new ones to go. I haven’t even finished my little areas and stuff
the big problem is that i have so many flowers i have no room to make a pond
I mean you talking like pond look or fish spawn pond?
Oof. I uprooted all my trees and flowers after I got 3 stars to terraform everything
🔥 Burn them all
AFter that 3 star rating bruh my island can be called trash island for all I like kek
Anyone know how weeds grow in this game?
fish spawn
or have a guide?
idk they just kinda show up
THeres a table with % and numbers, I cant rememer where ]
im not 100% sure
@versed wadi holy crap that map is amazing
but they work like flowers, except differently
theres like stages to a weed before it spreads
you have to water a weed to proceed them to the next stage
They appear randomly, however you can them water them to have the weeds grow taller and they also have the ability to spread.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1256235280102756357
Any pointers for my wooded area so far? I've added some leaf piles and bamboo stuff
Anyone able to do s football pitch on my island? I have the goals and stuff
rain works to grow weeds as well, not surprising when you think about it but it surprised me when my strategically-placed weeds grew
Perfect, I was missing the watering part
I'm going to try and grow some super tall weeds
Anyone else have a plaza that's like RIGHT in front of the airport (but slightly off center)? I'm trying to come up with ideas to make my entrance look not terrible even though it's off center
before I start ripping things apart with the water-scaping tool again
shop ideas please!!
Leaf piles! I forgot those were a thing, let me just go make a few stacks of them lmao
Right?! I totally forgot i had them!
@analog kestrel mine is like that and i made a waterfall at the entrance and a curved path leading to the plaza
gonna be awkward when theyre still green even though the trees are already brown
@woven drift looks good so far! speaking of weeds i like to include those in the naturey areas to fill out space. having some neutral-colored flowers helps too (i love green mums, but also use white and black flowers)
Yeah im assuming there is some sort of fall-leave pile i can swap for haha.
I love that idea mothra!
Anyone else visited a south hemisphere island and snacked on some tasty shrooms 😂?
does anyone have the requirements to make a fish spawing pond?
I just want my SH to get the mushroom lamp so I can spam them everywhere
@quaint minnow other people cant place custom paths i dont think
Oh that's crap 🤦
@smoky void That sounds cool! Could I see what it looks like? I tried adding some double waterfalls but i just don't know how to deal with the off centeredness 
let me fix up the path i fucked up just now and ill show you! @analog kestrel
haha thanks!
@woven drift what do you plan to do after that?
Mine is exact same except RS to left
Honestly I’m waiting to decorate my island before I path anymore
I want a theme together before I layout too much and change my mind
See I HAVE to path before decorating
Yeah i find paths help me figure out what microenvironments i want to create
my entrance 🤡
I think one guy above had good idea for make a environment for the types of ppl
yeah just megaflex on the rest of us
This is my current map where I’ve only touched my left bottom side
my RS is right up to the airport so i cant have a fancy entrace like that:(
Yeah same.
i wish i could terraform like that but the thought of it fries my head
I placed a little waterfall infront
I did this just to have something but I hate how RS looks lol
since it was off centered
Ooo
this is what i came up with, just making a really big plaza
I love seeing all these cute islands
May just yoink that
what the falls look like on either side
wow that looks so cool!
@woven drift must be that, I don't think mine is 5 stars just yet
my foresty airport entrance
ahh @analog kestrel i think maybe you need an entry way that isnt as long so you can kind of curve the path over to RS and make it look more intentional
ugh so pretty
This is my home entrance c:
@hot forum That’s just what the description of the flower states. But I know some of my friends are bouncing back between 3 and 4 and already have it
Omg now i wanna change my whole entrance ffs
Yeah I need to make a path towards the center I just haven't messed around with it yet
I saw the double waterfalls and thought it looked cool so I just placed some there lol
I was gonna do a little welcome area for my town but I lack the space to do it. And I don’t wanna reset because I have Raymond, Ankah, and Tangy
This is my current island I was hopping someone could help me with design ideas and how to get to a five star island please pm
My RS was close and off-centred so I just hid it, you now approach it from one of the corners
@woven drift I have a pic of something someone did one sec
yep thats it i’m changing my whole island cheers nooks crying now
i hated my airport location so much til i made my entrance and now i'm glad i had space to do something as long as i made a little path. still have no idea what to build in the 6 squares i have in between RS and the beach lol
It would be tight but still cute
@versed wadi um that looks amazing
i really like the space i made for my house, and im thinking about making a little beach concert area
this is my entrance. my residential building is directly in front of my airport
can someone give advice how to set up the rivers? mine start from the bottom and the left
Wait where is it @terse terrace ?
See I didn’t know a map editor existed prior to terraforming so...
mine are purely geometrical so
lmao behind the trees in the center. @gusty briar
Yeah cause I have like 6 or 8 tiles before my res center
Same
@scenic blaze what about a mini farmers market?
It’s like RIGHT there
@terse terrace can you do a minimap picture ??
@foggy haven i might do something like that! as like an extension of the shopping area around RS. also considering having it be a beachy resort area. lots of possibilities, no decisions lol
Does anyone find that using the grey tiles/patterns doesn't match the houses/buildings or does it not matter to anyone and I'm just weird lol
Any tips to improve this area?
tree
I feel like island layouts consist of two people. 1. The decisive who do stuff and it looks good then 2. The people who question everyone in their life and will never settle on one thing 😂
Flowerss
i think some natural foliage would be nice
Less rock
@north schooner yeah I only use the terracotta paths
@woven drift it's a work in progress
Yeah ur res center is far away
@terse terrace you have the PERFECT location for RS
Compared to mine at least
Ours is like CLOSE
@rough talon yeah... I wanted to do a white or grey thing for roads and plazas because I thought it was pretty but it doesn't match any of the houses or RS lol
My island entrance is somewhat of a blank canvas right now...
Thought you guys might like my cozy chilling spot! I am really proud of it
Like hope out of airplane and nook is staring you down
I literally have 8 tiles
A pic of my entrance where you can just make out the RS on the other side of the fence to show it's there, it's close and it's off centre.
When you guys started terraforming did you get rid of your rivers and add them later or did you work around them? I'm getting a bit overwhelmed by it all and I'm trying to break it down into little bits xD
@brisk mesa do it by area
Does angone mind letting me visit their island for inspo
I broke it down and it was a horrible decision
Anyone**
@brisk mesa I changed them a little but I mostly left them
I had ideas because I was annoyed of certain places and was ready to destroy them when I got it
@versed wadi I'm making my molly into a pirate gangster and her backyard is going to have Redd's ship. what do you think?
@brisk mesa it depends on how creative you can get. I got rid of my rivers completely
Guys I need good entrance ideas 😭
@final surge same
I destroyed one river, I'm leaving the other one and altering it slightly.
my molly wears a do rag and her catchphrase is "mah nizzle"
Scroll up a bit they just showed a lot of good ones
Kim’s is pretty
There was another mountain one that’s pretty
Sorry for asking again but pls can anyone let me visit lmao im struggling to get inspo
I might destroy one of them and work around the rest, with my original layout there's a thin strip of land across a big part of my island that I can do nothing with, so I was thinking of getting rid of the rivers to see just how much work I had to work with
Newly finished zen area!!
Thats amazing
Whoooaaaaa
@terse terrace That sounds like a great idea. I love theming the areas around my villages and houses and Molly's lodge could be a great little pirate tavern when decked out!
Looks amazing!
I paid every nmt I had for that pagoda and now I’m broke lol
That Zen Garden though!
@versed wadi dude I saw your island layout with the vilager themes and I was like "saaamme"
Those areas are STUNNING
Its not loadin for me 🤧
My island tour today~
https://youtu.be/HG-yqk6bqWg
Loy's island is a reflection of what he does in real life. It is well-put with several fun areas. I love the signs on the paths that guides you to the villager houses, cafes, stores, and other stuff. He has such a cute house too, but with a DARK secret!
✨ The island rep: htt...
LMFAO DARK SECRET IS THERE A DRUG CARTEL BUSINESS
does anyone have inspo for a quarry area? finally got all 6 rocks in one area and im not sure what furni pieces to use aside from barrels
You could make it like an archaeological digsite?
@quaint elbow I recall a kinda good looking one on the reddit page
can yall show me some inspo for houses like how you laid them out
how wide do rivers have to be to use bridges?
maps are a big help
@reef wasp I think at least 2
LMFAO DARK SECRET IS THERE A DRUG CARTEL BUSINESS
@terse terrace i think they are the previous owners of that island
my house is in a corner surrounded by cider trees. trying to get mush DIYs and grabbing another qr, i would love for it to look super witchy
@woven drift r u into scattered houses or a neighbourhood type of thing?
wdym secret, everyone knows about redd's drug cartel business
This is Merengue’s Bakery, it looks a bit bland, any ideas on ways I can improve?
4 I believe
Hey guys, I’m looking for entrance to my island that will be at the airport, my plaza is the nearest wanted to know what you did
Dobie's is my most on-theme exterior 🙂
exactly 4?
every time you post dobie i need dobie more
wdym secret, everyone knows about redd's drug cartel business
@north saddle his house and island is all pretty and cute, except for one thing
He's my #1
Thats adorable
@ocean sorrel find QR codes for those lil top hats that look like cakes. you can craft a stall and put the "cakes" on it
*alternatively you can use Mom cakes but if you don't already have one or two they're expensive to buy
@frosty cosmos i made a forest area since my plaza is like 2 steps away lmao
can someone help me im having a hard time getting my shops right they are apart from eachother as i dont want them in a line any suggestions on how to decorate them?
@boreal solstice yea mine 2 thanks for the idea
Yes, pretty sure it's four
ooh i love that lil cafe!!
What's an app you can use to design your island first b4 terraforming?
What's an app you can use to design your island first b4 terraforming?
@near yacht Happy Island Designer
any ideas on how to layout houses?
@woven drift do you want a neighborhood style or more spread out?
Still need help on getting to a 5 star island and getting a better lay out 🥺
my houses
Happy island designer or smth
@scenic blaze either, i don’t really mind
Hm in my old island i surrounded my rs with the houses
So i put them around it
The top and the right of the rs
satisfying. can’t wait to get the other rocks. so happy
@woven drift i'm not keeping this layout because my style evolved to want them scattered around, but my current residential area is a neighborhood https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1251605634421673984
I'm still tweaking decor, but I wanted to give a tour of my cozy and personalized residential area :) #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/hkU24fTwrS
oooh gl! the rock spawning method is a little painful but it gets the job done haha @barren swift
All these picks are making me wanna start my town again
i wish i did a neighborhood thing like that cause i have so much space im not using lmao
@quaint elbow took me a couple of hours to get the mannequins placed but hell it’ll be worth it
i did start my town again and i’m struggling to place houses
Its great to do a neighbourhood type thing since it gives u more space but it goes down to personal preference
i want them all kinds local but randomly scattered i think
i’m not sure
U could divide them
Who was asking about quarries earlier?? Just realized I have steel beams that you can have. It kinda fits
my homes are set up really weird but imo i really like it. it's a little cramped but i think i could move two into the giant empty space i'm not really using
also mee! i need quarry inspo
@quaint elbow can i see your map please?
let me zoom there now
Im stuck on whether to put the houses together or not :/
I put them together since its easier for me to get diys and move people out
but the idea of scattering them is great as well since u have more space to personalise their area
@hazy yarrowgril My Able sisters. My NC is a bit stale atm
I think housing depends on what you want your island theme to be. More modern city themes would be close together. Foresty ones would be farther apart etc.
Mix it up, have a mini neighbourhood for a few villagers, then spread the others out. It's the best of both worlds
smart idea actually
there's just one house i haven't moved yet aka the fricking jock pig i wanna kick
@quaint elbow Which one?
kevin
I'm regretting, because I put several houses close together. I'm not looking forward to moving them later.
agreed @foggy haven
Love a good view
i wish i made the houses in my area just a little more spread out. struggling to create things to put on the island lol
Please can someone help me 😓
Diagonal bridges are the best tbh
Finally perfected my heart island. 😂
@lament spindle what do u need help with
oh thats amazing
@woven drift I need to change the layout to get to a 5 star island and need ideas
oh
I would think its 2 trees on the top, 3 down and one
I love that island!
im not really good at islands with two southern rivers so im not sure sorry:(
No need to change the layout to get a 5 stars island
i accidentally got 5 stars when i was using the mannequin trick for rocks and now i need to keep decorating haha
Just put a lot of trees (but not too much), flowers and furnitures
Just add more furniture
Does anyone have a foresty picnic area? Trying to get some ideas.
Using random fencinghelps a lot as well
i have hedge fences all over my island bc i fell in love with them aaaaa
also you can remove the hundreds of mannequins in like a minute by changing the design so that's why it's really good
Oh i see
