Um I have a lot of closed off mountain areas so I guess overgrown?
What should I do with this space
I’m not very creative so I’m not the best to help
This is how I have my villagers organized. A mountain river neighborhood with a plaza in the middle.
@real vessel How much space did you leave beside the villager houses?
Hmmm maybe a ruins?
@gusty briar or a grave yard?
if anyone here has a camping area can u send a pic??
Grave yard wouldn’t be bad
Could do the gates and make it a pass by thing or a abandoned one
Anyone have any idea on how to make villager houses look cooler? I have 5 in a horizontal line on the 2nd story
if anyone here has a camping area can u send a pic??
@fierce mesa sure
damn you guys have such open designs, i almost have no more room on my island haha
Camping area
Everyone’s is different
I’ve got this at my entrance no idea what to fill the empty spaces with, I tried flowers on the other side but idk if I like it, any ideas ?
@crisp topaz build up a street in layers 🙂
can i pls visit someone’s island to get inspo for my theme?
Entrance area 👌
House and watermelon farm 🍉
Can someone with a museum entrance with stairs leading up to it send a pic for inspo please 😊
can y’all send me your maps? i’m suffering
Looking for any marketplace/ shop area inspiration!! 🙏 send me you shop areas!!
@woven vortex this YouTuber I watch makes lil gardens and I figured it’d be perf little side for my beach house 😇
Only done with half of the island tho@woven drift
@woven drift
Hey guys/girls, I need help picking a theme: campsite/outdoorsy or a winter wonderland themed island (haven’t seen that done yet) I’d keep my time set to snowy months for that
UK> @woven vortex this YouTuber I watch makes lil gardens and I figured it’d be perf little side for my beach house 😇
@hollow orbit cool I thought I saw it somewhere 😅
maybe the campsite @still bramble bc it’s nice to enjoy the different seasons when they come
@still bramble I’m a sucker for the natural more untamed/foresty islands
Any other suggestions? Other than the two themes I listed?
Does anyone have the QR code for the soil lol
@still bramble you could also do more of like a general wonderland vibe, one that would fit all seasons?
For whomever wanted maps
I could try, sadly I’m not THAT creative /:
me neither lol
Woodland themed are a lot of fun to build
My map🤮
@naive patio like for a turnip farm?
If one of you has a woodland theme could you send me some example of your favorite areas in your island?
@manic lantern oops tagged wrong person
i’m trying to go for a woodland/elf fairy kind of island
Any suggestions of how to centralize homes towards front of the island ?
is it a good idea to move the village together?
What do you mean
i mean place then side by side
@still bramble briclynforest does a lot of 5 star island tours in this theme
That’s up to you
Thanks I’ll check it out
Yikes the homophobe
What
?
She's a homophibe lmao screens from her twitter got leaked
people who did island layouts with external software, where did you find icons for houses, trees, buildings etc ?
Discord**
@somber scroll I did this as an entry way to my zen garden, I think it turned out nice ^^
@hollow orbit awesome thank you!
Any good lake designs?
@still bramble my island is 90% woodland http://twitter.com/pipwyn
Hey squad. I’ve decided to completely start my island from scratch. Any themes/ideas/suggestions of what to add in would be cool.
Ok but what did she say here that was homophobe?
@woven drift you could have a wild forest, a city, a small town, etc.
question, can you terraform while someone is over?
No
No
darn
I don't remember exactly but she's really Christian and said some stuff about that and I think she also banned or kicked out some of her gas fans I don't remember tho but u should find some info online if u search it up
@naive patio that’s really nice thanks!
Ok BUT does that matter here
Gay fans**
@icy minnow I’m definitely going to look into it thank u
Have to say thank you for several players here who inspired me through a terraforming project. You know who you are!
If she did not attack anyone HERE and is not reaching out to them and attacking should be left be
@shy sleet that’s gorgeous
omg thats so awesome
NOT PROTECTING THAT KIND OF TALK
Does anyone have any cute ideas to share that they’ve done with their scooters?
holy f
Whoever asked for downtown inspiration here's mine:
Anyone got inspo for island entrances unsure what direction to go in tbh
I mean she did?? Lmao she literally kicked her gay fans out and said something like its disgusting and a sin but I don't wanna talk about it more so yeah u can look it up if u want
@versed wadi that looks great! Wish I was that creative lol
i have to move all my stuff to the beach and then back again ughhh
@shy sleet That map layout looks absuletly stunning! Wow!
Ok but we’re talking about ac?
Can someone help me
@obsidian summit I did a short path to the plaza
Oh wait you talking about a content creator or someone who talked in here?
A content creator someone mentioned her so I just said it nsnsn sorry man
Heres my take on the "memory garden" where each stone spot will be an item to represent that month in my first year of playing this game 🙂
OH NO that’s my bad
Omg thats such a cool idea
Hey so um I need town inspiration cause if u cant tell my island is BAD so if anyone has a layout I can use that would be amazing!! i want it to be like summery vibes :))
my island rn
thats so cool
a sea bass for each month
I thought you were attacking someone here Lol I’m so sorry
@gusty briar https://mobile.twitter.com/Anxiety2_0/status/1252458521041330176
Just found this thread about that topic
Time to call out one of the most Toxic Animal Crossing youtuber/streamer I’ve met. @BriclynForest I didn’t want to do this until recently when I found out she hasn’t changed a bit since I cut ties with her.

didnt read it tho but i will now
@gusty briar its fine no problem ((:
No no I’m sorry I miss read lol
Can someone help
@shy sleet that is insane!
help pls I need island inspiration this is my island rn
this is a really general question but i was wondering if anyone had any good terraforming tips to share?? or guides, ideas + inspiration, etc!!
are you guys giving your villagers a yard big enough to put tables n stuff on there or just flowers?
island progress ! just trying to fill in the empty space, any ideas?
@wheat trench i have 2 residential areas one that is more spaced out with big yards and one without any yards so it looks more like a city (:
Wow yikes y’all thank u for that call out I appreciate it a lot definitely will NoT be watching any more of her content
Anyone have any pictures for the secret beach in which redd comes from ?? 🤍
@abstract copper do you have a forest, natural area yet? You could maybe fill something with a spa or zen garden
@woeful minnow this isn't mine but it might be helpful https://twitter.com/sheeepcakes/status/1253389137282916352?s=21
— terraforming tips & tricks —
you can terraform (create water or create a cliff) either a whole tile or a half tile. half tiles cannot stand on their own, and must be attached to whole tiles on exactly 2 adjacent sides. half tiles therefore cannot be adjacent to each other.

ooooo thank you!!! :D i'll check it out
@wheat trench i gave all of my villagers some yard space because i love them and want them to have a unique space to match their personalities
@somber swallow would you mind showing some examples? I'm really clueless on how to design my island :(
@abstract copper do you have a forest, natural area yet? You could maybe fill something with a spa or zen garden
@somber scroll ooh not yet! it’s mainly been tiny storefronts and flower gardens. i’m thinking about eliminating the top floor except for a few alcoves and maybe i’ll add a small forest there too!
i wish our islands could be expanded lol
can you guys send pictures of your entrances? 😊
I got 5 stars again even though half my town looks terrible 
Has anyone used the happy island designer??
There is an option to upload game map how do I do that?
woahhh
Heres my take on the "memory garden" where each stone spot will be an item to represent that month in my first year of playing this game 🙂
@woven drift That's such a cool idea! I may be taking it lol
@woven drift
@frozen axle I love your map! It is so creative and amazing!
trying to make a natural bridge across the river but i can’t, i have both of the landscaping tools. just need some help lol
@versed wadi omggg you posted this earlier and I loved it and couldn’t find it tysm!
woah nvm
i got it
ive definitely gotten into a rut with all my pathbuilding because terraforming is so hard for me
terraforming is my worst enemy
theres a reason why my status is what it is
@abstract copper same it’s such a struggle spending hours on something and then it turning out like crap and then spending hours destroying it
ive been taking captures of my map as ive been changing my island and holy toledo has it changed a lot
@wheat trench
I was wondering if I could have advice on where I should put my resident area?
@odd yew you can't move your resident area
I like how the curvature of the earth makes the opposing cliff look massive
Idk whether to put it at the top of the map or spread close to the town hall
I mean my residents where I should place their houses
not the town hall sorry!!
Ooooh like a little street for them?
Yes! I’d like to have an area where they have their houses !
@somber swallow thank you!
Bottom right
Idk whether to put it at the top of the map or spread close to the town hall
@odd yew personally i think giving yourself a little solitude is fun because you get to decorate the land how youd like, so having a villager centre might be a bit more fun!
It's far enough away from your house that you don't have to worry about your own decor space
would you suggest the top area or more closer to the bottom of the map?
Bottom of the map
I’m planning on moving my house too I just don’t know where to put it
closer to the bottom! that way if you ever have company they can find it easily
perfect!!! Thank you so much!!!
Ah the perils I feel the pain I just moved mine too
Anyone have some graveyard stuff I can catalog?
i’m investing like 1 million and a half bells for my island and i am terrified
I was thinking of putting my shops close to where redds secret beach is? But I’m not sure about that yet
i have lots of empty spaces on my island. theyre not big but i feel i could put something. any ideas?
Hey
Hey guys , any ideas what I can do with this area? I’m going for a cottage themed island! Ideas would be nice!
finally finished my museum entrance! wanted to show it off : )
I court yard round nooks to showcase some items and a tea garden.
I made another enchanted forest in an open spot of land behind gayle’s home
@tiny trench niiice!! Mee too xD
had quite the disagreement with redd last night, but it was kind of amusing
Also! Should I put my residents higher up or should they be on surface level?
Surface level.
purely depends on if you want to use an incline on them
There is generalyone crafting at any point in the day. It's better to have them easy to access
it would be pretty cool if you could dig into the surface
@woven drift that would be awesome
@odd yew i wish i had made 2 levels for my residential area
regarding the island layout, it sais the home are 5x3...but it feels like its 5x4?
@odd yew I’ve been doing layered neighborhoods! gives a nice level of dimension
Should I surround my town hall with homes or equally on left and right?
@somber swallow yes I wish I had split it also but I’m out of inclines so 😅
Homes are 4x4, but you can put paths on the bottom row
raises hand I'm out of inclines too
Unless you're talking about player homes
i have run out of ideas ... therefore i am creating TWO orchards on my island
I wish it was 16 total of bridges or inclines
I’m not sure how much cliffs I should do to make it looks good?
why is there even a limit
@hollow orbit would be great. I only need my 4 bridges
i wish you could have more storage when youre using the island designer app
I tired my best to make it neat but any ideas on what to do I have a lot of space to fill
Er I made it my waterfall pools
@coral blade yeah I’m using maybe 5 and I don’t see myself adding more
Sorry I keep asking a lot of questions
working on the outline of my river before i fill it in, i kind of want to do a small pond with an island in the middle somewhere in the red circle any ideas on how i should go about it?
@odd yew i have mine on an incline area
Any ideas what to put on the small wooden patio for audie's houses?
@idle axle one sec
I think I wanna ad a fossil dig site on my island
heart ponds are so charming to me, maybe you could have some rivers trailing out the top?
@odd yew i would just add 2 levels because a 3rd one requires more space and inclines
Maybe something like inclines for easy access? It’s close to the town hall so I could have two one side and then one at the top?
@coral blade I get TONS of compliments on mine
Had to redo my museum but was worth it
moving all of the houses takes so long
What are you referring too sorry it's early my brain is mush
Haha dig site
Is it best to remove all the rivers from my Island and start from scratch?
Ohh
why!! cant!! we!! hang!! items!! on!! cliffs!!
omg yes
@abstract copper preach
Ouuu thatd be so cool!!!
why can’t we make more than 8 inclines 😭 they should make it a max of 16 inclines OR bridges not just 8 of each
Is it best to remove all the rivers from my Island and start from scratch?? For Terraforming purposes.
If it works xD
Yes if that's how you wanna do it
@rancid shard i've been removing rivers and cliffs in small sections at a time
If you go for a naturallook it's better to keep the rivers
Keep in mind you can’t move the mouths
And make minor alterations to them
I know that 6 is gonna be my resident area/museum area @_@
So discord won’t let me upload a picture?
im personally leaving most of my rivers be and just making small alterations to them as i go
Thanks
Wait.. .why 6 in your museum area?
made a small library area out of pure curiosity next to a small shop alley, but i know it’s missing something
.. I need that bookshelf
@rancid shard Keep your rivers and build around them. I destroyed my lakes and rivers and now I have no idea how to make anything look natural
It's missing a coffee stand
@abstract copper chairs and tables! maybe like a cafe setting in a library
Is this any better for my cafe? I am gonna have better colors for the rattan chairs, but those are what were in my storage right now
sorry so low quality!
Anyone have a garden for hybrid center
okay! i had a cafe somewhere else on the island, so maybe ill move around some other things?
i have two cafes!
I'm currently working in an icecreme parlour.. but I hate all the tables and chairs settings
it’s really not a big deal if they’re different
I have a cafe and a dinner if you want to see?
i’m planning on making a café library too i’m excited
id love to see more cafe designs!
Cool I'll take some pictures
Can anyone tell me if they do white fences?
@gusty briar maybe, but i want it to be big enough to where it needs a bridge you know? i think that would be pretty. i was more asking where on the map i should do it
here’s my other cafe
Give me a sec I'll flex my 2 cafes xD
also ... using star frags as decoration is so fun if you keep them on a cliff that you cant climb to
Ooo
@woven drift there’s no rn 😭😭
They dont do white fences
I switched from star frags to small star clocks cause people steal the frags
😭 I need white fences in my life
god im gonna try that soon and fall in love with the idea,, m gonna need more star frags smh
Same
RIGHT
you should be able to customize fences
We all need more star frags
I think I’m gonna have to have a word
i dont have the recipe for star lamps and clocks ...
you should be able to customize fences
@vast cradle Yes!!
gonna be a graveyard
2examples of the clocks as decor
yeah she mostly gives me wands
i havent had a single meteor shower,, im suffering but itll be worth it for the a e s t h e t i c
The closest to white fences is the wooden stakes but customized to birch wood
this is where i’ve used them as decor — my house
I'm currently reworking my entire island to the detrimnent of my bank account
brb i need to go mop the ocean
thanks to the magic of photoshop, it's proper island planning time
Rip
Why my island looks sooo bad
i was thinking about doing another orchard with all the fruit furniture, but id need help crafting them most likely
I dont know what to do
Cute cafe
Any tips? I tried making everything asymmetrical so it would offset how close and how annoyingly slightly off-center RS is.
Bigger waterfall
maybe a two-tier falls if you want to add more flowers on the side
I got super lucky with my res services placement it lines up almost perfectly with airport
god i wish that were me
This is my dinner
Anyone have any inclines with waterfalls/rivers in between them i need some inspiration but im going for something like that
mine is just slightly to the right so the paths are skewed but whatever thats why my villager centre is so close to the entrance
lmao 2 tier waterfalls take up so much space, but i'll try it, thxx
OMG Poppy wears reading glasses!
here’s something i did
the waterfalls aren’t too visible but i like the hedges in front
Does anyone have south and west river mouths?
Cute
Hedges really do look good like that
i'm pretty sure most if not all snooty villagers wear reading glasses
Does anyone have south and west river mouths?
@somber swallow unfortunately, yes
South and west gang
Gang gang
has anyone else made fake suspension bridges ? i love faking those
Would you mind sharing your layouts ^-^
cuz i've seen both julia and whitney on my 2nd island with them and diana on my main, but not sure about judy
I could but I've only started work on the top left of my island
im pretty sure lots of villagers wear reading glasses, but it doesnt matter how many wear them, its just super cute to see
Do I surround town hall with homes or do them equally on both sides?
does anyone else prefer transplanting trees rather than chopping them down? its so annoying to use fruit but so much easier than waiting for trees
Can I visit someones island?
I'll open mine up
A, B, or C?
Cool
Here’s my island setup so far
A
A
A
maybe a hybrid of A? flowers in the center?
Can u send your dodo code?
how do you put a border around your paths like your dirt or terra-cotta paths?
Yeah give me a sec
Wym Brett
like
Would you guys mind sharing how villager neighborhoods? In need of some ideas !
Ok cool
people put borders around paths
Anybody have two southern river mouths? I hate it
brick border around dirt
Oh that’s the design
oh
people put borders around paths
@trim finch Design
has any1 got any ideas of a wooded area with museum because my museum looks so out of place atm
Yes sadly you have to find designs ppl made that way
How are you guys?
I don’t have the slots of that sheiiii
Right, South and West river mouth island
mine are on the east and south,,
I'm broke and I still need to move all my island homes 😢
Is this better?
guys i've got a question i'm pretty sure i know the answer but i want to be sure tho....
You can't cancel deleting an incline/bridge, can you? :/
Yes
super pretty!
To both
This person has a bunch of those path liners
you can
Looks nice
Thank you
should i put signs on the sides or nah?
west/south river mouths, but might modify some river pathways
Try it
Getting my dodo code now if anyone wants a tour
@abstract copper ooo could I tour yours?
Anyone giving free tours?
What stone pattern do you guys use for paths?
I'll come to ur island
yeah, sure ! i can do a tour in a bit ^^
I'm doing a tour rn
Nice
AJS I messaged you 😄
Here’s the front of my newly designed house 🙂
i use the non-arched stone path, but i mainly do terracotta
guys i've got a question i'm pretty sure i know the answer but i want to be sure tho....
You can't cancel deleting an incline/bridge, can you? :/
ugh i can't... that's too bad. I wanted to delete an incline i thought i need to get rid of but now while i was terraforming i realized the position is good. now it will be deleted and i can build it up again -.- why isnt there a cancel option!?
I new some in person inspo lol. Not videos where I can't venture off
which looks better? the purple bricks or the grass texture on the paths?
The dodo code isJVSND
ive noticed that the stones are a little too dark for my taste, especially next to shrubs
I like the grass texture
My island is open for 2 people rn, I'm gardening tho so you'll have to explore by yourself lol
On my way
Anyone have any pics of their trading posts? Trying to get some inspiration!
mads i have stones and they're super cute w/ shrubs
Here's mine
ill come tour yours @wooden lodge if theres still room
@patent sky could I come explore?
thank you! @cloud flame
🙂 np
@woven drift I like both honestly, you could keep the stone for more residential/popular paths and use the dirt one for more rural ones
@pulsar zodiac thanks, that’s a good idea actually!
What ist vc?
ill clean up my island in a bit and then ill 100% do a tour for anyone who wants to come see
@woven drift purple looks pretty good
@wooden lodge somehow I can't join
anybody have good flower patch layouts? the ones i have right now are kind of repetitive
AJS ur town has an interference
Now it worked
its not working
i’ve got one vote for purple and one for grass, someone needs to be the decider 😂
Someone is coming
Hey I'm doing a new museum design and want a cool path around it what would you guys suggest from the in game ones? I'll prolly be placing fountains and dinos outside
Grass
@wooden lodge yeah me
Who’s house should i put on the beach, sherb or julia? they both look like beach houses idk which one thou
I like the stone path for museum
Sherb! He’s so cute
Same I like the stone path and fencing
more elegant and nice looking
@woven drift i like the purple
Any ideas for what I should put here? This part is secluded from the rest of the island
Okay someone just landed ready for the next person
Damn everyone suggesting the only path I dont own
bamboo
awesome i’ll go with the purple and use the grass for natural areas! thanks!
regular stone is best and maybe shrub fencing? or the stone fencing matches pretty well
thanks to advise from earlier I moved the band/cafe area from the front of my island, gave them two separate layers, and I think it looks so much better
Lovely!
I like bamboo or cafe
That looks so good
😮
what did u guys do for your lighthouse?
@night fjord wow looks amazing
how did you get the table cloth?
ty ^^
@night fjord looks great! what did you do with the area behind the cliff?
Anybody have two southern river mouths? I hate it
@green token i do id rather have two south then have one of my beaches cut in half tho lmao
Julia's house actually happened to be there so I'm moving it to a better spot
I have 2 Southside rivers I made them work also Someone just landed I think I have room for 3 more people
Then I'll go to the switch app voice char
this is my layout and i actually really like the river positions
The struggles of wanting an extra af entrance and the RSB front and center.
@wooden lodge can i join ur island tour? 🥺
i LOVE the double waterfall entrance
Yes
What do you guys think of my camp? I rlly love it and excited for my pants to grow! C:
I'll start the tour as soon as your here
I'm still working on mine, but this is what I've got so far
@wooden lodge I download the switch app now
i am in need of a faster way to get BOOKS
Outdoor library
thinking about flattening my island and removing everything to reshape it, should i?
Not everyone’s cuppa but enjoy my cake 🎊
My map looks meh cause you can't see the paths and things cause custom content xD
any ideas for the front area by the airport? I just have a straight path and two cliffs in between but IDK if i should leave a straight path. Looks weird?
floral borders for paths make straight ones a bit less awkward!
ill send yall a pic of the front area once i go back to my town
gonna yeet myself to able sis really quick and ill run over
Heres my entrance I only got 8 blocks to work with tho
my pockets are full of TREES
Love those Redd posters 😂
@abstract copper relatable
this is what i get for travelling before terraforming
@cloud flame this is mine
i’ve got 4 blocks to work with for my entrance
Bruh?????
Cosmic I'd do some just lamps or signs and stuff either side of the services
i’ve done a flower bed taking up 2 blocks and a path in the middle! it looks decent all things considered i think
it’s also one block away from being central
Mine one block away too oml ;-;
so frustrating!
Why would you choose that is my question
bruh ima sell these trees and regrow them
it gave me a starting point ig
okay, so now I cleared the entrance to my island, does anyone have some good examples of front entrances?
any ideas for little spaces that are empty? like i have a decent patch of land that is empty, ideas on what to decorate it like? it’s right by redds beach
Well I refused to watch anyone else play before I did. No spoilers even ignored the recent trailers before it came out and thought it would be bigger and centeral
I don't quite have a good idea for mine yet
@night fjord mine is a little scroll up
for a 1 block off-center RS, I just made a center waterfall thingie and made to paths split up and meet up at the actual center of RS
nice, I have enough waterfalls as is on my island, so I'm looking for something a bit smarter than using the water tool
the wooded feeling isn't a bad start
If stuffs uncentered I make everything else slightly off center so it all looks center if that makes any sense
I used to be really fond of my enterance but I want to change it now idk
this is my entrance
both are cool in their own right
I wish we could place posters outside I just got all the rare hello kitty ones from someone ;-;
i love the 🐝 kind sign!
my airport is very off-centre to my RS so I'm going to have to work around that
i started on my people’s neighborhood first cause there all on the beach
my entrance is directly into the villager neighborhood so i may have to modify and add shrubs
@woven drift my entrance is also only 8 blocks. i really like yours! i might have to change mine now >_>
Resetting the island was worth it 
@somber swallow show me yours! i’m sure it’s amazing!
Hey Guys I'm gonna go afk for a wee bit feel free to stop by my island my shops are open and my native fruits is apple Dodo code is HHFLF
Does anyone have that pic of the beautiful city view someone posted here?
nah I'm good, I'll work with what I have
I don't want to have to spend like 1-2 weeks to unlock terraforming again
i restarted my island and unlocked terraforming in 3 days
Ik I reset my island I had a lot of things but my old layout was trash to be honest, this one is good
Should i cover this whole path or leave it like this?
Isabelle doesn't like me rn I unlocked teraforming and then the same day got 2 stars I'm now stuck on 2 stars please help
thing is, I don't like time-skipping
My island is not trash oml .w.
wait do you lose terraforming if you go back under 3 stars?
so that would take me a long ass time to get back to where I am
No
oh
I have a really small entrance so I made it into a marketplace
@woven drift heres what i came up with last night
yeah me too @night fjord
I think my RS is sooooo off-center it could work out well tbh
Try some terraforming?
I'm so annoyed by the residential street light. I can build a cliff behind it but I can't plant a tree there
like what the fuck logic is that
but what would i terraform the limit space ive got into
trees have wack hitboxes
i saw someone did this which was pretty cool
i
it's not even that. like why can I plant behind the building and not that lightpost
i built a hidden entrance behind my resident services omg
probably to do with the tree growing and being at the same height as the lamp post
what do you guys think about my museum area?
it would clip through it then
@abstract copper show pls
@gusty briar hey here’s an update on how my ponds going, thanks for inspo btw
I need a pic of that. For research purposes @abstract copper
Can I have opinions on my island ideas?
photoshop layout fun stuff, with scuffed dotted lines
yes of course, let me take a video because it probably wont make much sense
@woven drift very nicely arranged pond, I'm yet to do my museum designing yet but that looks like something i'd want to replicate myself
Does anyone have any tips for making island layouts?
Seeing if anyone knows what I can do with this strip without completely cutting off the access to the water? Just feels so bare!
I still need to get a sandbox but here’s my playground layout
nice work
I’m currently trying to make some but they’re not coming out great
My tiny entrance
should i make this into a street?
@night fjord thank u so much! I got the idea from this
Did anyone utilize a very north and very off-to-the-side resident services plaza? When resetting like, 100 times, I saw some maps like that and wanted to see how people used them! I thought they looked cool but haven't seen any in person
@novel hornet plant flowers
@novel hornet benches, flowers, maybe a path along the river?
What should i put in the spots next to me?
Does anyone have ideas for this spot in front of my museum? Dm me!
Maybe place some custom designs
oof that ss looks soo good
@night fjord @spice prairie i’ll give it a go
any ideas why i can’t put an incline here?
too close to nooks
inclines need a 1 space buffer on either side
@woven drift thanks for sharing! I'm trying to create something for my museum without using up my inclines lol
Move it to the right one space
@novel hornet other thing that might work is stuff like lanterns or lamp posts
wait really that’s so dumb
or a certain type of fence
back to modifying my entire entrance
@night fjord didn’t want much fencing because of the ‘well’ area
Any ideas what to do in this area?
Time to peruse the DIY’s I think
ahh I see. maybe just flowers, light sources,
@zinc isle nothing?
@idle axle that looks dare I say pretty ... Pog 😄
ohhh is that near a house by any chance Tal? I like putting washing lines and wash tubs near houses for the resident
@zinc isle omg i love how the water peeks through the rocks !!! maybe put an outdoor bath there?
@storm bluff Gosh that’s a great idea! Thanks a bunch 😊✨
@zinc isle ive seen other islands put an outdoor bath on the rocks, it blends so well and looks so natural haha xx
@zinc isle I've put a sauna like area on one of my rock pools, I'll try get a pic
yeah the outdoor bath/ stone lantern look very good on the rocks
@pulsar zodiac Please do!
anyone have any like bamboo/ zen area, I need some inspiration
@cobalt patrol cover all
@spring sentinel
it's pretty basic, but that's what I have since I happened to get the recipes for them recently
@zinc isle
That looks nice @night fjord ! I’ll take that into consideration
ooooh that one is much better
@zinc isle what a rare area! Random ideas: botanical mini garden or bathing pool
you can actually do a lot with the rock outcrops
that's really lovely
Someone join my island?
Should I put flowers in front of the hedges or behind?
I'd say in front
Front
like I have such a weird amount of space to my RS so that I can't really put anything big in between it and the airport but I can't just have a path go directly to it
Just smash some rock items around and plop cherry blossom petals in spots and most things can look epic
front
maybe put dark dirt paths beneath them too, unless you just want it natural
Thanks, yall are legends
@vast cradle wanna trade islands? I’d kill for that space lol
no problem 
idk what to put there tho, and also in game it feels closer than it looks in the pic
something designed around the width of it I think
like you have a lot of space lengthways
time to spend the next few hours breaking down my entire island and rebuilding it
@latent ibex mood
and probably end up hating it haha help
So here's my super bland island-- do you guys have an ideas on what I should do? Trying to make it look cute to get a 3-star rating. (right now able's and an incline are being built)
White spots mark where I plan to move villagers. I have 4 more to do though and idk where.
My Entrance, Zen Garden and Work Space Area 😏😏
Hopefully my tour helped u guys
yo that work space is sweet
neat ideas
just be careful about laying a gold nugget out there like that
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I know
Ty ty 🥰 I literally just did it 😂
I like the asymmetry of the waterfall Curly
I'm stealing that gold nugget
Rip
usually people make them perfectly the same on either side and I'm not a fan
\^-^/ tyyy
Its just so cute there
Guys idk what to do with my front area. I like the water falls but idk how I feel about the straight paths. Please DIRECTLY DM me for ideas or changes to make
yes master
Lol I couldn't make them perfect but I decided that it looked pretty just as it was
does anybody have a foresty/natural themed island? if so i’d love to see them!
I love it @cloud flame
CAN I TOUR ANYONES ISLAND FOR INSPO ?!
soft resetting for a new map -- WHY DO TOMMY AND TIMMY HAVE TO TALK SO MUCH. Rover didn't talk this much >|
I’m open to tours lol but I think my town is just ugly
I loooooveeee the huge stars@cloud flame
Cute baby gold nugget
I can't open because I have gold nuggets lying around in random places 😩
Some one hello me with my layout
Lmfaooo y'all can't have my gold nugget 😂
White spaces are where I plan to move villagers. Any other ideas for my map?
Orchards are nice
Does this happen to anyone else? I hate when the houses are in the way oml I hate thos villiager already
@broken totem forgot to reply before. I'd say put the other 4 on the opposite side of the river from where the first 6 will go
My villagers live on tiers. I have like a mountainside of village area 😂
unless you want two clear seperate neighborhoods
@worldly needle I want to see!
One sec !
I wish there were adirondack chairs to make my beach areas look awesome.
@night fjord I have 2 villages
I need help with my front area
I thought about leaving them on the hills actually xD but I might try to path the river idea to see if it would be too cramped.
Why does everyone want RS to be in line with the airport? For me that’s too straight. I like things to be a bit more unorganised.
I know I sent this twice now but I REALLY need help lol >_<
I'm not saying 2 separate villages can't work, I just think that if you have 6 already neatly together the other 4 might as well be lined up on the other side
@cloud flame those waterfalls are really nicely done, so I know it might not be what you want but moving them so that the path can go diagonally between them might work well since you said you wanted a path that wasn't so straight
Someone plz help with my town
@cloud flame I adore your setup already. You could add more bushes or trees if you wanted. What do you not like about it?
I hate how the oath is too straight lol
Hard to get a photo of them but I hope that gives an idea @woven drift
big fan of those Curly
Hm wdym by diagonally between?
I know this is a terrible drawing but the idea is cute right?
I mean, leave the left waterfall where it is, move the right one back
Do straight paths look that bad?
what is the price for relocating museum, tailors, etc
Oh I see
Do these border's look weird here?
I wanna give off farm look/vibe but nothing's working.
@woven drift 50k
nah, I just thought you said before that you didn't like how straight the path was
sorry if I read that wrong
@night fjord ty honey 🥰
@oak thunder trying to calculate my cost for flattening and relocating and its almost 2 mil atm

@woven drift yeah same for me lol. It’s the bridges and inclines that do it
Does anybody have any suggestions for Goldie's yard?
Hey guys who would you rather choose molly or Octavia
Molly
bruh we need a pin somewhere that warns people against flattening their island. they always come back lost and confused because they don't plan out jack
ahh, then yeah I think moving the right waterfall since it has curved edges and letting the path go diagonally through them might make the entrance more interesting
Gold roses would be fitting for Goldie
ahhhh, I'm actually also doing my entrance too so I'm not much help 😅
@cloud flame how do I get really big stars like yours ?
Can I visit some islands for inspiration 🥺
@hollow jackal nah those look nice bro
I HAVE THE SKULL DONE!!!!
poggers
All i have to do now is decorate
pics or it didn't happen
@quiet peak can I see? 😮
@brazen horizon use some qr codes for like crops
can anyone show their entrance area? loved having the double waterfalls at first, but now it just takes too much space
I might have to change it for terraforming:(
do you guys think these three areas clash too much? if so, what should i change? i really like this spot being an area for a wishing well/stargazing spot/library but now seeing them together it looks kinda weird, idrk what to do
What are some interesting things to put on the cliffs near waterfalls?
double waterfull entrance is overrated anyways
It’s called a Nova Light
hey! doing island tours if anyone wants to come, you can roam or i can show you areas up to you!!! 5 star water island theme! put 280+ hours into it with lots of cute little areas and fun villagers! just dm if interested! tips aren’t necessary but would be much appreciated 💛💛
@patent sky i hope you’re happy
@zinc hull ill show you after I get the terraforming done in case I need to change it some
Try some fences or bushes? @vestal geyser
anyone with a 5 star island and finished designing their island around? (doesnt really need to be 5 star)
never knew that baseball glove seat was in the game
It's cool! I think it's called the throwback mitt chair
I made my gym huge lol I like your blue pull-up bar tho :/ I just got red
oh it's part of that series of furniture, that makes sense
how do I make the dark dirt path look better? just like the shape of it I mean, I still have to decorate and stuff
Should I get rid of this?
I like the stone path
@unkempt meteor what is it?
Yea. It has to go
The lil ravine with the squares should I just get rid of it
@wet cliff duh! thats a good idea! ty!
@worldly needle your houses are placed so perfectly!
There’s two different measurements I’ve seen for your home so I’m a little confused, for a fully upgraded house what are the correct measurements. And for a single room house what are the measurements
Ty ! It took an entire day I swear
Do someone have a idea what I can place in this area?
The lil ravine with the squares should I just get rid of it @steel junco
@vestal geyser I think having the three different floors is what makes it clash personally
any suggestions for eating area for bears?
Beehive
maybe stools of some sort?
Small children
@unkempt meteor Ares you going to fill that in and it be a river? Or leave it with the squares? Sorry if that’s a dumb question lol
Please someone respond lol
@unkempt meteor I’m not sure what it’s meant to be honestly. Looks a bit odd
@tawny sleet
@woven drift do you have like an outdoor cafe area yet ?
any ideas for smth nice i could put in the middle of all this stone? i know fountains exist but i wanna try other stuff first
I tried to fill it with a river but I couldnt cause it's at a certain angle @steel junco
a small cafe !
@tawny sleet one sec, let me get you the info
@tawny sleet house measurements are always the same. Your house doesn’t take up more space as it expands
@woven drift do you have like an outdoor cafe area yet ?
@worldly needle yes 😦 i really dont have an idea
U can put a sculpture in it
@steel junco That doesn’t answer my question of single room houses tho I’m not upgrading some of them
mayb,,
@oak thunder I know I wanted it to be like a cool ground design
i FINALLY got a double south map with my favorite fruit and a blue airport, and aligned center RS and airport
Well damn :/
Rope or no rope for parking? Like behind the car
@tawny sleet oooh sorry
no rope
@sharp stump Stone fence maybe?
Lol I like it with the rope 😂
I think single room houses are the same size as villager homes right? And then once you upgrade from there it stays the same measurements as a fully upgraded home yes?
ok is this a decent path shape?
@vast cradle it could be a little rounder I think
Looks odd with stone fence @steel junco . Maybe just plain haha
@vast cradle is it not possible to make it slanted? i thought it would
if it is idk how
@woven drift OUTDOOR SHOPPING CENTER
Does everyone have a river connected to both mouths?
It can but it needs to be a squiggly path
I'm a genius
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tzgaU1wwQcru0lAcbwHlM9mb2VmO-Lca5nDnu9HAnQg/edit @tawny sleet info is in here, this document is also in the QandA channel pins. Short answer is that your house is 5x4 tiles whereas a villager's is 4x4 according to the doc
oh yeah I tried a squiggly path and it looked really weird
It seems like a challenge that my body isnt ready for LOL
@sharp stump ah darn. Hmm. Maybe leave nothing for now but I feel like there has to be something that would work... OH I’ve seen people have like a full log laying down that they’ve used as a fallen tree. That could work!
current vs potential project, thoughts ?
@sharp stump ah darn. Hmm. Maybe leave nothing for now but I feel like there has to be something that would work... OH I’ve seen people have like a full log laying down that they’ve used as a fallen tree. That could work!
@steel junco hnm I’ll see what I can do. Ty!
does anyone have like a library area
I don't have a library but am building one as soon as I get the recipes or items
Made Kid Cat a yard. Should I use a different path or keep the current one?
does anyone have like a library area
@woven drift not mine thou
Whats the limit on bridges and inclines?
@night fjord yeah I know those measurements but I’m wondering if a single room plot is smaller than 1+ room plots cause I’ve had mixed answers
8 each
Ok I need help choosing where to put villagers, spot a which is the first 2 photos, or spot b which is the last 2
Hm okay well that sucks
:( how do y'all do all the big ol' stars
do gold roses look good ANYWHERE 😭
it'd be kinda silly to have to move around stuff you placed around your house exterior just to upgrade the house
i just put them at my entrance to flex
so I guess that's why they made it stay consistently 5x4
fair but they ugly
Yeah they really are haha.
aesthetic wise i don't know how they can look good
is something as simple as this fine?
maybe in a decadent kinda royal looking theme?
i don't have any atm but i'm wondering if i should breed them
Makes sense I just wanted variation
gold roses look great if youre shooting a music video
a- a what
My market is coming along nicely I’m gonna have actual houses that will b shops to go in~
@normal oyster in the middle of a lake honestly
I used gold roses and lillies of the valley to decorate my museum as well and it looks pretty good to me 🙂
HAHAHAH telling them truth
Like a strip of land and then just the roses on it
i ss that 😳
I’m gonna have actual houses that will b shops to go in~
@tawny sleet wait how?
This is my island: it's going to be filled to the brim with mushrooms, weeds and black flowers. Should I mix cedar and hardwood or keep it to cedar ONLY?
looks good with the museum kinda
I put them there because they're kind of like a collectable? Like a thing to attain? idk lol
@vast cradle you can have multiple people living on one island so I’m just gonna make more people and their houses will b the shops
yeah i just wanna flex that 💀
@tawny sleet out here playing 4D chess
I wish you could put houses sideways tho
@woven drift personally I'd just go with cedar. Maybe very occassional hardwood just to add diversity, but it sounds like you want to keep it darkly themed
also any idea to make entrances to my house symmetrical? as bridge and incline wise
@woven drift i feel like since its black flowers only id keep it cedar so it would go along with that dark theme?
@night fjord @storm bluff Thanks for the advice guys!
anyone have pictures of fencing outside a house that looks kind of rustic? having a hard time finding inspiration
@vast cradle where did u put all ur stuff? :)
@sand fjord what stuff?
@woven drift I like the butterflies on the islands, did you think of trying a tile decoration underneath them?
anyone have a maze I can take inspo from? not sure what to put around the maze 😔
@woven drift not exactly rustic but a little more modern
@night fjord good idea😍
@vast cradle I thought u clear up ur area and redesign
Can I see someone's beach area if it's decorated
@tawny sleet omg using the low screen as a villager sign that is AMAZING
@woven drift a really good idea for butterflies is using the butterfly commissions you get from flick to decorate near flowers
@sand fjord not most of it, I'm just doing 1 part at a time
@woven drift i never heard of that D: whats that?
@vast cradle ok thanks
@woven drift oh wow that’s pure genius
@storm bluff yeah! I didn’t want to put a sign cause it covered his window lol
Hehe, it's just a cute idea I had a little while ago.. @woven drift talk to Flick (my bf) and ask him to make you a display, he'll cost you 3 of the bug.
@woven drift keep some hardwood, you need it to craft seasonals in autumn. It drops acorns, cedars only drop pine cones
@scenic blaze tyvm! my SH friend is giving me acorns as well.
Does anyone have a nice small Japanese area on their island I could get some inspirations from
@modern halo
Are you looking for Japanese urban or Japanese country?
are people really trying to rp as the s/o of a goddamn lizzard
Where are y’all putting the museum? I kind of want to put in my main area but have no idea how to make it flow
Im putting mine somewhere hidden
can someone send post some museum inspo without inclines xD
I am not sure @tawny sleet ugly but I am trying to a build a place that will say that this is jap themed
For kabuki
I'm personally not, no. But it's an inside joke.
can someone help me with making my island look better ?
@woven drift I saved your image as a reference because it looks cool
@modern halo you could make a shrine at the end of a marketplace (that’s what I’m doing) but unfortunately it isn’t finished yet so I have no pictures
Hello im looking for ideas of the area outside the museum.any help?
Not my image! @modern halo just one I had in the stockpile.
1
Oh lol
@modern halo you should use real ref pictures tho
Yeah I will look some up
What do people think about random mushroom placement?
I feel like that’s too similar to what I did in my Egyptian area
@woven drift I like looks nice
anyone got some urban entrance inspo?
i think placing mushrooms and weeds on the ground adds character
Theoretically, (if we have any math brains) if I had ~500 trees, what would be a good amount of weeds for decoration purposes?
how are you gonna fit 500 trees on your island?
i don’t know what to do in my island lol any tips? my island is just all over the place :/
Based on what I've planted I have 300-400.
Can I please visit someone who has there villagers neighbored will tip 300k
Yes @manic lantern
@coarse pond if you don’t like having stuff all over the place try making a designated neighborhood for all your villager houses
@vast cradle have about 400 now that I counted my saps.
oh wow jeez
@cursive wren my airport is to the right
if yall feel discouraged just remember that this is my map 350 hours into the game 😳🤡😍
@coarse pond for ideas of areas to make, I tend to listen to my villagers or see what they like doing and then make areas for them
See this is why I CAN'T do urban. I just can't do the one off block.
One off block?
thanks! ill try to do something like that @night fjord
Airports, etc.
np ^^
the fact that i can’t remove an incline and build a new one the day is awful, now i have an incline in the middle of my island with no cliff
I feel that, SO HEAVILY, aly.
I think its also cool to base it off of their interior if they have an interesting one
It took me 2 weeks to take down all my mountains/rivers, take down all my bridges and inclines and move my villagers...
i have an incline surrounded by cliff lmaoo
like i have cliff but not where my incline is lmao it’s just alone
urs is a stairway to heaven ig
Any tips before I make my first incline?
mines a stairways to hell
@elder pebble dig 3 back. it makes it most nestled and natural into a mountain.
they should add the ability after about a month of playing to remove or put up bridges and inclines in the same day
as someone who's done 80+ hours of terraforming, they need to do a LOT.
or just to remove immediately something and for free
@woven drift so basically this? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/691040305922834473/704848856982093824/IMG_20200428_190739203_MP.png
@elder pebble dig 3 back. it makes it most nestled and natural into a mountain.
@woven drift what do you mean dig three back?
why do we have to pay to destroy something that we pay to make ?
i had that happen and may have lost my mind at how dumb it looks
@agile mantle yep exactly!! feel you it’s the exact same thing on my island lol i feel dumb watching it
Any tips?i made this today!should i plant trees behind nooks maybe?or clear view better?
@woven drift hi
anyway, y'all got any residential area inspo? mine looks hella bare rn
Foresty campsite🥺
what type of path should i use for a cottage theme?? i’m having a hard time finding one that rly fits
@woven drift hi mother
@woven drift wyd
@woven drift advising as all queens do clearly
@woven drift definitely the best arcade area ive ever seen
do you use differents paths on different area ? if yes, how do you make them match when you change area ?
May i your someone’s island? I’ll pay nmt or bells
@woven drift queen shit 👑
May i tour someone’s island*
@woven drift I like that diner walkup a whole lot. What I'd say is to put trees at the corners of where fences meet since trees can be as close to fences as you like
@woven drift i planted 300 trees help me and i decided to cut down half aahaaaaaa...
You can come to mine don’t have to pay @crude jewel
go in #690093605821480980 my dude
@woven drift 300 wtfffff
@woven drift denise remember my island layout sis its GREEN WITCH
@woven drift definitely the best arcade area ive ever seen
@brittle crescent thanks a lot.i tried to put evything i had.haha.what do you think about the nooks area?
@woven drift okay send me your island code please!
bruh nobody will take these damn blue pansies from me
I made this little garden!
@woven drift I like that diner walkup a whole lot. What I'd say is to put trees at the corners of where fences meet since trees can be as close to fences as you like
@night fjord i like that idea
bluh message me code then
It's really neat. I like doing it for hedges especially since the trees blend really well with the hedges
@crude jewel @woven drift what season do y’all want in my island spring or winter
@woven drift girl i want mushrooms
Ok we going to fall
What should i put here?
But help me pick up weeds bc that’s a massive tt
ty bbg i will
i can give you TREES
@woven drift I’ll help with anything. Want me to bring you anything?
Only thing about fall is that the freakin trees r ugly
Someone please help me my brain is melting I have no Idea what to do with the top left of my island, I want to move my museum and out a bridge where the museum is now. I will pay someone 2 NMT to help me
@woven drift as long as your island looks nice and decorated then it’s cool haha. I wanna show my friend some cool islands.
@willow elm I'd say a picnic area, or you could put a fountain there and circle around it with the paths
@ebon dome gym with boxing ring, lemme know when you want to give the nmt
@willow elm i agree with @night fjord
@woven drift @crude jewel just help me pick weeds no need to bring me anything plus I have extra diy u can just grab laying around lol.
is there such a thing as a "centered" resident service?
Okay ill try it ty 🙂
My island sucks!
Here is my map if anybody wants to try and design it
@woven drift okieee
does this look ok or should i use cedar trees?
@tender harbor
you can't plant trees on the cliff edge unlike the bushed if you mean to replace them
@queen nexus there is if youre lucky with what layout you pick out loll
@tender harbor i was going to put the campsite on the right side
Destiny Island 2.0
We have a long day ahead of us
@tawdry palm https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EW9xY0wUwAYiAgB?format=jpg&name=large close enough
lmao the car beds on the road 👌
yup so I could take a nap during traffic hours LOL
genius
lmaoo
i will pay 20 nmts for some1 to draw me a simple layout on top of my current island🥺🥺 i rlly dont know where to start n im super bad at designing. dm me
if someone has entirely remade their island mountains and rivers can i get a picture of your map? i need ideas
you know during my map reset i DID notice it's possible to get the airport, resident service, AND the secret beach lined up, usually left or right side maps tho not double south
@queen nexus yooo thts so good, i wish i knew to pick a near center layout before i knew we couldnt move our residence center ;-;
I give everyone mad respect for connecting the river mouths together
@tender harbor I have an orchid already 😦
I like this tiny area I made around Molly's house 
Can somebody PLEASE help me! T~T My terraforming idea is pretty bad
DM me if you can help
@night fjord a bamboo shelf!
damn I need that. I get so many bamboo recipes, surprised I haven't got that yet
ok so I finally had an idea I kinda like for my entrance but idk how to make it not look ugly
does anyone have a japanese themed island? i need inspo 😦
round it off and make it natural @vast cradle
@vast cradle Don't have the lake so squared maybe
if that makes sense
you could surround it with cliffs
what Dialga said, make it a more natural shape than a square. unless you're going for a pond area that's arranged
cliffs are my worst enemy
I would round off the water
I need to watch some national park documentary for motivation LMAO
@vast cradle I would add land a few blocks left and add a tree that kind of is in the lake a lil bit
LOL
Can somebody help me redesign my island?
DM I have the map ready to go
cliffs are beautiful and a godsend
And this is also new.i am not sure what i dont like.maybe it has to be symmetrical all the way?
important question; fence on top of path or beside path?
i need some entrance ideas please 🙂
beside imo
sometimes on top takes too much space @reef pine
Fences beside unless it's brick
its a shame my island can't be filled with canyons
thanks incline limit
