you could do both for certain areas
Someone did a layout on excel
hi dialga
excellent
made a cyberpunk area and i’m really excited to show it off
interesting, wonder what that looks like
I need ideas of how to organize houses all together )-:
hi guys im struggling with layouts so if anybody could send me there layout for inspo that would be nice 🙂
@night fjord i’ll post tomorrow still need just a couple items to come through in catalogue, it’s taken almost over a week
So for my residential area should I go for the red brick and stairs or the grey brick and stairs? I used the red brick for the plaza area so would it be overkill or should it match?
@steep rose this is my layout
tahts so cute
that’s rly pretty omg
thanks guys
thats looks so good 😫
@hushed hull my houses are just enough spaces apart for a tree in between so I guess 4? And I filled up areas inside the fencing with bushes, hedges, and soon flowers (the trees haven’t grown yet lol)
I used this picture for reference
I need some help remodeling my island https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/681277827244621855/705906711030005761/image0.jpg
This is my island on the planning tool website. Plaza and two river mouths are perfectly symmetrical. I'm doing some symmetrical things to it.
-.-- .- -. -.- . . / .-- .. - .... / -. --- / -... .-. .. --
Is that like braile?
Looks like morse
yep
Is it york new or wor knew
@woven drift jelly of that RS
@zealous pendant hi queen
anyone have any gym inspo they can share?
anyone have a picture of an area for redd?
And it was in my cemetery next to my garden rock
@tawny sleet wow! I love that! So when I go to put my houses into place w spacing, it’s 4 spaces for the house, then 4 in between? I don’t want them tooo far apart, but enough ya know?
@woven drift hiyaaaa 😍😍😍
@zealous pendant that’s actually perfect haha
I tt to November for mushrooms and I hate how the plants look
@coarse pond mine are along the rail tracks
One space apart neighbourhoods are possible 🙂
@woven drift I love the fall look tho
I just hate how the weeds look
@vagrant sluice can u send qr codes from the trails?
Ugh yes the weeds );
Tracks*
What happens to the weeds in fall?
The weeds in fall look like that rasta cinnimon on an apple jacks box
Is two spaces apart for houses too little?
Yeah
Thank u
I always pick weeds anyway so that will be a non-issue for me
@woven drift do you mind showing how your museum area looks? ❤️
i’m really cluster phobics when it comes to space between stuff lol
Really? Lol
lmao
@marble portal yeah ima take vid in a little bit!
ack
I just want room for everything else I wanna do
Thank you so much!
I built this little theater!
Love that idea
i am gonna have a penguin family
Can somebody help me with layout inspiration?
DM me please
finally finished the layout for my neighborhood now i gotta decorate it and artsy the shit outta it
ughh why don't custom design paths show up as paths on the map 😭
@last bay SO cute!
ughh why don't custom design paths show up as paths on the map 😭
@sick beacon I know I feel like I need to put down my paths twice now qq
@marble portal I’m debating if I should put the museum on a cliff
Azaleas have not bloomed
so annoying omfg like then there's no need to have it as an option if it's not gonna show up on the map?
@woven drift ahh I love it! I like how you made a little pathway up to it with the statues
I personally love cliffs so I might be bias
@marble portal I think I’m gonna add a cliff and stairs to lead there
the worst part about custom paths is that you can kick them and they disappear T_T
@woven drift just look how majestic the museum looks on a cliff 😍😍😍
Should I keep my 2 statue entrance at the bottom
I love the statues imo
@zealous pendant the fake statues really pull it together haha
SAME I made my friend come buy one for me lol
This took me 3 hours to plan 😂is it good?
me: blathers you'll never get any of my statues
@winter phoenix Id love to see a video of your island
The authentic ones are a bit boring and have 0 personality
Can someone help me layout my island? I’m a lil stuck
I've seen the David one on library areas before... Perfect with his book
@zealous pendant did u see my nughtclub pool yet
Not yet
I worked on it yesterday and asked everyone here what to put hahaha
island WIP 😌
@zealous pendant
I was too busy trying to find my last respawnable rock 😂😂😂😂 I’m trying to put them all together
woaaha i love your set up @zealous pendant for the statues + museum 
working on a small garden area to fill up this empty small spot on my island
@woven drift omg that looks soo funnnn
May I get some inspo please? My island is pretty bad
DM if I can check out yours for inspo
@marble portal thank you 🥰🥰🥰
that’s what i got so far 🤦🏽♂️ now i gotta chill for a minute
I still need to figure out my beach areaaa
I’m gonna go afk and let people fishh brb
should i put spaces between the mini gardens and the path, or should i leave it like it is?
@zealous pendant can I see ur tiki and a video of u going up your museum
There’s so much beach area!
I’ve decorated about 10% and have no idea about the rest!
I wish there were villagers that would make sense to go on the beach
like to put their house on the beach
@vast cradle there’s a few that kinda do. Or at least there houses do.
Shep seems like a grizzled old surfer so he’s living on on of my beaches.
@vast cradle zucker
i’m about to start decorating my island and am feeling overwhelmed. for terraform experts, should i level the whole island then begin or whats the best way?:)
What should I put here!
Does that look good to yall? I wanna get rid of the part sticking out but I cant for some reason
You can’t cause trees
@cursive brook no, I’d just start playing with the tools in one small area until inspiration hits.
@woven drift I might, or a tree in the center like something similar to new leaf
@woven drift I forgot about the octopi lol
Hell nah don’t level your island @cursive brook
Looking for expert to make my island better I have 2 mil
Levelling is a lot of work and then you’re left with a blank page which can be very initimidsting
@kindred yarrow oooh yeah or like a picnic area
is this too cramped??
Not at all
Is this bad or cramped
@zealous pendant Thank you for the inspo ❤️
Removed the trees still cant get rid of the square
Does anyone have a one story Museum trying to save my incline
Is this cramped
@manic lantern probs gonna add incline tho lol
can someone give me some good campsite inspo? ❤️ dm me please~
im ove here breaking my neck to watch the video haha
Lmao
thank you tho 🙂 @woven drift
@manic lantern build a little park out front for something less grandiose
Yeah idk if I wanna make my museum grandiose bc I’m lazy
I guess June and Rod make sense on the beach because of their interiors
@unkempt meteor It's the waterfalls
Denise that’s a smart looking museum area!
Is this cramped someone please answer or any tips
Ignore the first statue by the fountain tho ima remove that haha
Boooooo I wanted to add the waterfalls I thought it would be neat
It would've beennn!
@unkempt meteor I guess you could make the other waterfalls below bigger? and then try to expand the weird sticking out parts, I'm not sure
Would anyone like to help me remove some flower, trees, and weeds. I'll pay off your loan
Looking for 2 people
@golden igloo theres no water fall below it's just the one waterfall
@woven drift I haven’t figured out if I want to put a floor light under the statues and what else to put 😂. My tiki bar is not done too 😂🤷🏻♀️
@unkempt meteor I know you have the one waterfall going past the bridge, but like the other waterfalls next to it
@zealous pendant do you have the rattan low table that matches those chairs 🥺
I’ve only got the chairs
Please answer
@low drift I don’t think it’s too cramped, maybe extending the walls one on each side might help and then adding decorations like benches inside would go nice
Or something along those lines
Or maybe just extending it on one side
Like pushing it out 1
@ruby dagger thx
or only put one side of the brick fencing up
i’m about to start decorating my island and am feeling overwhelmed. for terraform experts, should i level the whole island then begin or whats the best way?:)
@cursive brook definitely dont level the whole thing IMO
i saw that on a youtube video lol i was joking
i just don’t know what to do bc i have so many trees and flowers
Giving away a mush lamp [item] to anyone that could help me remove trees, flowers, and weeds
ahhh waterscaping is literally a nightmare
It really is
@manic lantern ME
Yeah it’s difficult to see the spaces correctly cause they always round off so sometimes I end up re-building the land where I just destroyed it -.-
Like I know what I want to do and I drew a picture, but it’s literally impossible to get the shape I want
What shape r u looking for?
It’s kinda hard to explain but I’m doing water with bits of land inside so it’s not a specific shape, I just can’t get it to look good
do yall like these paths? Is it too busy?
Ah like a hopping pond?
kinda yeah
it’s fine though, it isn’t looking that bad rn. I can get it to work... hopefully
@sick beacon It looks pretty good!
Here’s my swamp if you need inspiration (it’s supposed to b a skull but I’m fixing the area around it rn)
Thank u!!!! <3
If anyone wants to decorate their island with black roses that when bred become GOLDEN ROSES, DM me. I have 15 in stock
What is a good amount of spaces for a yard for a villager?
@tawny sleet I really like that! I also like the skull idea
what should i surround my Nook Service with? it’s defe gon be a plaza with the two stores but should i it be between waterfall cliffs?
I spent so long on trying to make a different kind of orchid and it takes up so much space and I’m so sadddd idk what to do!
I'm making a witchy area and it seems I have a willing sacrifice
This is what I’m doing, it’s kinda annoying having to do it within the different tiers because it messes up a lot
LOL @merry inlet
I just made this spot, suggestions?
How do you think I should place my villagers I want to place some in the A and B column but I also what to place some in the C column and give them a lil front yard.
@zinc hull literally battling the same thing.
@zinc hull our maps are in the same vein rn
Hello can I come to your islands
@potent orchid love this!! Maybe some white or red flowers?
SELLING BLACK ROSES. 15 LEFT IN STOCK. 1 BLACK ROSE = 2 NMT / 100K BELLS.
I'm kinda new and I want to been shown the ropes
I’ve been over that right side about 5 time changing the shape of islands and the placements of trees, shrubs etc.
@zinc hull this might sound nit picky lol, but I’d make sure the top left path leading out of plaza is two space wide so you won’t have to constantly run into villigers to go through lol. It might already be and I’m blind
@blazing sorrel good idea!!! I should add some flowers
Let's goooo
@manic lantern how much did you pay to get Judy
Double bridges across 2 levels look great!!
300 NMT 100 gold lol
Wowza
I personally like it close together because it gives me more of a mountain feeling. I haven’t had villager problems yet but if it happens too often I’ll probably have to make it wider
I made 1.2k NMT in 3 days last week so its worth haha
My island is a mess and idk where I wanna move my homes and museum
Spent so many hours + bells on my island and now I wanna redo everything over again TT_TT
@woven drift I feel u 😢
@viral geyser same 😢
@manic lantern how
I was flipping blue roses and mush lamps
I just wish I could do like a save state of the island and if I tear it apart + redo it and it looks shitter than it does now, I'd have a backup plan lol
@tawny sleet it’s kinda messy rn and barren but this is what it looks like
I just lack creativity and I end up not having any energy or motivation to make my island look good
Wow lol
@viral geyser mood
@woven drift exactly
Right side of the bridge and left side of the bridge. I need more statues 🥺
Am I the only one that doesn’t go to mystery islands? I think Ive legit been 2-3 times in a month lmao
I stopped going to mystery islands lol
@zinc hull wow!!! It’s gonna look so good when it’s done! Just keep treading lol
I've run out of room for more inclines and it completely threw my plans off. Any suggestions?
I just stack up my NMTs now
I will once a certain someone one leaves. Not naming any names.... BIFF!
@tawny sleet thank you! I’m waiting to decorate and such until I’m done with the general layout
They're going to be releasing some new villagers too so I would say save up!
Reee spoilers reeee
i didnt know about that
Are they?
wait really?
Do I have to pay for the amibo?
I guess I shouldn’t be on discord if I don’t wanna b spoiled lol
Can AC really be spoiled?
Lmaooo on god
Looking for suggestions/advice: I want to move Able Sisters and Nooks, but I don't know where to put them. How do I pick a spot? Do I need to move the river? Ideally, I want to put my house on the top right cliff, and move the campsite to where Mabel is currently.
Yeah. I read no news until I bought it. I didn’t know about terraforming or mystery island until I played
Hey @woven drift did you still want to help out for the lamp?
Yes
@vagrant salmon I usually move stores near my place incase I want to quickly buy something or sell something
alright give me about 15 min and ill get it ready
@uneven dawn bridges? Try making your layout cohesive in such that all the levels can be connected by bridges or hopping ponds
ill provide the fruits and shovel
No rush I’m terraforming 🙂
Let me see
Yo girl is making some walking paths.
I'm getting rid of the heart pond temporarily
check the "path-codes" channel
Oh shoot. I’ve been on discord instead of playing and I completely forgot new event starts today lmao. Byeee 🙂
@versed wadi I absolutely love your map! The marshland on the right is looking so cool
It will return in a better space
You guys convinced me, I’m gonna put my museum on an incline
i need some layout ideas in some spots of my island can someone give me ideas
@sour fable I'm making a witchy area lol
Newest added edition, still not 100% sure what to do with this area
when in doubt. cute seating
@still veldt that's a good thing to consider. I'm afraid that moving the waterfall will make my island look unbalanced, but I think I just need to do it.
@woven drift what do you mean on an incline?
On a cliff!
does anyone have beach inspo
@timid stream these the ones I’m using rn
beach home inspo
Send some museum inspos too ty
Yesss
does this seem big enough for my museum?? i wanna just add some natural scenery up here
I’ve been trying to figure out my museum for like a week 😩
Do I start the path closer to the store, keep in middle, or start on end of RS square?
@near carbon let me find the dimensions
@vagrant salmon You can always rebuild the waterfall if anything 🙂
See how you like moving the stores first
@hollow orbit I was satisfied with my museum but now I want it on a cliff lol
i have the dimensions it’ll fit i just wanna know if it looks like it’ll be too big for the area
and i still pay expand around it too after i move more stuff
Hey friends I have a big gap and I was wondering if I could get some people to come visit my island and help me choose what would be best there or if I should add some layers to it or leave it on ground level
@woven drift I wanted to add a dig site which started my dissatisfaction for its current home lol
I have way too many flowers that are all in the way and I’m literally running out of space on the beach
A guide for anyone who needs
@still veldt ty!!
@pure nimbus oh did you see my nightclub I forgot to @ you
@zinc hull took me like an hour and a half but I finally cleared my beach for trash flowers
@woven drift no
How much space do you guys use for your villagers home
@near carbon the bottom right is it walkable between?
@pure nimbus
Honestly I don’t like that my museum is on a cliff. Cause the area behind was basically covered by the backside. So I’ll probably have to move it to the first floor
woah
Or when you place would you be able to walk by?
@woven drift that looks so cool!!
@tawny sleet yeah I’m like debating but I’m falling into peer pressure I feel so awkward if I put it on an incline bc of my map
Hello
is that 2nd pic on the beach?
How is Audie's yard? What other fence type should i use?
I might put mine on the beach
Won’t it be awkward to put the museum on an incline here
Bruh why can we only order 5 things a day
Ima make a tiki bar at the beach
right? why not 6...
Please keep us updated its very inspiring !
@woven drift hmm do you have an in game pic?
Wow this is an old map actually but the museum has the same placement
So yeah I'm looking for a like, woodsie feel kinda pathway for this. its going to go all around my island through lots of flowers, trees, all sorts of fun stuffs 😄
Progress map
so. Just wanted something that looks cute and isn't like... typical I guess
i wanna design my island & make it v fairy/woodland/celestial themed. would anyone be able to give me any tips or help at all?
Like.... the nightclub has an incline. So idk what to do behind that incline lol
Someone is doing the same @native plaza can’t recall who
@woven drift you know what you could do...Put a mote around it, that way it still looks cinematic and you can build a cliff and put the statues on top like pillars (cliff)
@gusty briar oh !! that’s awesome !! i named my island fairytopia so like i feel like that’ll fit best for my name u know?
@tawny sleet I’m trynna see how I’d put a most bc it’s next to a river on the left and a bridge on the right
Let me see if I can recall who it was
@gusty briar tysm !!!!
First day of terraforming. Thoughts?
I wish my airport was just like 4 tiles left because then my layout would be like as symmetrical as possible(besides the rocks and pier and stuff
It was a pink name with a star
@slender plume I think your island is looking great already! There are so many possibilities with terraforming so you will have a lot of fun.
I also have a River on either side ! It’s like a little island with the museum on it here’s a picture of the front and side entrances (ignore the off center and lack of stuff) it’s in progress lol
yes @gusty briar it is
i am sooo out of ideas. so i nuked my island.
i will give someone tons of nmt if i can give you a picture of my map layout and you do some nice design on it so i have a solid ground to work on.
hate my RSB location, but i dont want to restart because of my progress
Thanks!
Then I think it will look great
pog
Can anyone show me how you designed the outside of your home? Paths, yards, moats, etc. I’m trying to come up with ideas but nothing is working out
Why does everyone have their houses so uniform?
Mine are all over the place. Rolf’s house is on the beach lol
what would look better: a 3 or 4 tile wide path with wooden paths on the inside, stone on the outside, or wood on the outside, stone on the inside?
I don't like uniform
My layout isn’t very uniform
I think it’s just personal preference and what will look best for your island. Tbh I have no idea where I’m going to put my houses
@tawny sleet I just started terraforming due to impulse and I think I may be getting g ideas lol
i have my whole layout scattered
I love the look of it being a liittle neighborhood lol
Can someone visit my island and tell me if I need to add anything or remove anything and overall just rate my island. My island is 4 star btw
i'm probably gonna change it if i A get rich and B decide exactly what i would do with them
Mines urban so it makes sense for them to be more uniform.
My island got 3 stars yesterday
Congrats @slender plume
can someone help me figure out what can go in the empty spots of my island i will send pcture of the area dm pls
Can you terraform on other people’s islands?
Nope
what would y’all rec for the amount of trees & like fruit to regular to cedar ratio?
3:1?
I want to put my houses scattered around for the most part but it’s going to be hard to make them easily accessible because of all the mountains and limited inclines
jesus idk what to do with my island lol
@slender plume tysm !! i’m trying to move em all rn & i don’t wanna have too many & make it excessive but i also know you get bells & furniture & wasps from regular trees
Can someone visit my island and tell me if I need to add anything. Island rating is 4 star
@native plaza make sure you plant many non-native fruit trees, too. native fruit sells for 100 bells each, coconuts 250, but non-native fruit sells for 500 bels each
@quartz bear i have trees for all the fruits !! i’m digging them all up rn instead of cutting them down to put them in be there spots !! ty !!!
I will weed your island for 5-10 NMT! I will also pay you anywhere from 10,000-20,000 for the tickets! this is an emergency please DM me!
weeding for 10 NMT thats a little overpriced lol
Anyone got any unique ideas for outdoor attractions? Other than cafes/parks/libraries/food places
20k for nmt lol
lmao I got a random move in on a plot and got apollo
Weeding for 10 NMT? I’m gonna weed my own damn island lmao
10 nmt for weeding? Bro unless you're shipping me at least 2 ounces of weed you aren't getting 10 nmt for that
HAHA on god
what? 10 nmt?
its like saying "I will water your flowers. 1 NMT per flower!"
@solar swallow shrine, market, grotto, ummm maybe like a stage/concert area?
Ooh yeah, I wanna add a music area. But that might take a lot of room
Idk what I’m doing :-)))
@woven drift THIRD LEVEL MUSEUM???
@solar swallow could just be something small with like a piano mic, guitar and some seating
Girl ur crazy
MAYBE IDK
my zelda inspired forest!! just waiting to find mush lamp diy to finish it off!!
thats awesome
@meager warren I LOVE IT
what kinda pathway do you use
@solar swallow it doesn’t have to be that big, again, using real life refs can be useful! Idk what venues are near you but sometimes there are hole in the wall venues so you can use the space u have
Hey guys should I put my Marina's house on this part of the beach or is it too close to the city?
Would anyone be interested in coming over to my island and giving some constructive feedback? It's a mountain town but there's lots of design choices i'm not sure of. I did somehow hit 5* at only 50% complete tho
Omg so much blue flowers @manic lantern
I'm so stuck onwhat to do with this area of my island, i don't know how to terraform it, or if i should leave it just flat :S i only have 1 incline left, but 3 bridges. I appreciate any tips ^^,
@hollow orbit I need more statues too. Ima tt back and forth for Redd lol. He comes May 6th for me
@manic lantern okay just gonna flex like that
hey work hard and you cal flex too LOL
that island is o.o
@woven drift I ttd the other day and swore it was today he showed up so I’m praying it’s tm
@gusty quiver what about an orchard/forest area?
I need more water
im debating whether or not to bulldoze my island
i know ill have a breakdown but i want some sick rivers and stuff
@hollow orbit ya just check your map but I always tt forward and back. Not the other way around bc they disappear sometimes
@gusty quiver Thats a good size for an orchard
Or you could add a large pond with a feature like this to use those bridges if you want them used
should I add anything? or is it too much clutter? any tips?
Yea, that's what i've been using it for right now, but i want to make like a downtown area, but it's too flat i feel like :S
@brazen horizon shovel or a wooden bucket?
btw that image is from u/qt3-141
do flowers on your beach not count towards your rating? I moved all mine onto the beach so I could terraform easily and they take up 3/4 of my beach but isabelle says I don't have enough flowers
@pulsar zodiac I might do like a lake yea, thanks 😄
this isnt mine but I seen this on reddit and thought it was cute
You thought correctly
UGH I WANNA REDO MY ISLAND BUT I KNOW IM GONNA WANT TO DIE AFTER I BULLDOZE IT
AHHHHH
whoever made that knows how to decorate
like i hit 5 stars and now i want to redo lol
but its just that bulldozing an island makes you literally fall asleep
its pressing the same button over and over for hours
why did they have to make terraforming so unfun
That large pond is so dope!
its only fun when making cool waterfalls
am i allowed to request ideas/people to design a island for me? im kinka stumped on ideas 
@tender harbor YOU CONVINCED ME
Residential area was og going to be on right side but I’m scrapping it cause it looks ugly. Wanted a river to flow through the middle but it’s not symmetrical
bulldozing was one of the best decisions I made
Hey guys, Would anyone like to help me remove some weeds, flowers, and trees. I will give you 250k and a mush lamp
bye bye island i worked hard on 😭
I will be providing shovel and fruits
making sure. am i allowed to request?
So I'm at a loss and just regained my fifth star by making another restaurant/cafe in the top middle space. Idk what else to do. PLZ HELP!
does anyone have any fairy garden themed houses they can send me a picture of? trying to get some inspo for my house
@silk marsh mushroom furniture would fit the theme!
@scenic blaze could you please share your mini map again ❤️
ok guys, wish me luck. im probably gonna break out in cold sweats while doing it. but im wrecking my five star
so am i allowed to request someone to design a island for me? im really stump on ideas 
RIP
youll be fine I lost my 5 star a long time ago lol
mainly because I have fake statues
Aight before I place the museum, should I put the zen fences on the side first or bushes
I can't even get my island past 3 stars ;-;
The level below it has zen fences
@tawny glacier good luck! have fun with it!
Any fun area ideas besides cafes, parks, music/concert areas and orchards?
ok but same, can't even get past 3 stars LOL
I made a graveyard
im not gonna have fun lol @brazen horizon
Finished up my residential district today. Now I gotta remove all the paths that I left from before
bushes
SOS
im gonna want to end myself
I'm gonna make a football field lol
plz answer
ok but same making cliffs S U C K
@meager warren Lol I have one too
@hard kettle what’s the theme of your island?
Especially if the fence is below
Ty uwu
Anytime
use the hedge/bush combo!
Hey hey! is anyone able to give me a theme for my island to try out?
@manic lantern here ya go love
im literally about to spend tons of bells to remove my flowers lol, im gonna move my museum onto them repeatedly to remove them
Aww always pulling through for the fam ❤️ @scenic blaze
you could do something like this, but you'd need more room
also works with the iron and stone fence since they're both slightly taller
I'm going to work my but off for you guys and create some crazy inspo
@rigid raven maybe tropical, village, zen, or even secret forest?
blotchy rivers are the one thing i need on my new island
feels baing being ignored :sad:
alright!
The hedges show up behind the taller fences if you put them sideways rather than connecting all of them
@scenic blaze how long did it take you to terraform it?
@tawny glacier am i allowed to ask for people to design a island for me.im not really a good designer
Here's some nature photos I've took for some motivation 😂
🤷♀️
@tawny sleet Korean inspired. I first thought of Bukchok Hanok Village. Stone and natural wood, cedar trees mostly.
you can do that @dull turret but i doubt anyone is going to design your island for you
@dull turret well, this chat is really just the place to ask for ideas! i know lots of people who are willing to give you any tips! so, ask away!
hah when my island is done I’d consider helping ppl cus it is fun but my hands are full haha
Should i keep the fences like this, or should i make all of them the same type?
@tawny glacier I drafted a rough plan on MSPaint on Sunday evening and I had the terraforming finished by Wednesday evening. I like to do it in pieces so I filled in my rivers one day, plotted out pathing where I wanted the rivers to check my dimensions the next, and then did the waterscaping the next
@hard kettle what about a temple?
@tawny sleet I've been waiting for a pagoda from Gulliver lol My cemetery is all zen stones, tall lanterns, and garden rocka...right above the campsite lol
well, im kinad trying to go for a port-side town based on my real life town but.
@hard kettle do you have a night market? Or like a festival market type area?
https://i.imgur.com/yNSAQxB.jpg im kinda stgumped
i want it to be modern but still, tropical
espec since no idea how id do a port
@tawny sleet ooooo....no! Like with stalls and such?
I’m going with a garden theme for my island. I was thinking about doing a hedge maze leading up to my museum
Here’s mine!
Does anyone have any other ideas that might work (:
@hard kettle it extends all the way to the shrine
any ideas for zelda-themed areas? I've got a massive space and no idea what to do
actually, ill start wiping my island tommorow when i feel like it
im not really focused rn
so ill have an even more intense mental breakdown when seeing it flattneed
anyone got an idea for a port side town
flattened
@tawny sleet that's pretty frigging cool! Maybe I can do the top middle like that?
@dull turret Have you unlocked paths or terraforming?
@hard kettle
night time shots of my shopping plaza, still in prog! : )
Man im so tired but all the Reno's are finished just need items to decorate now.. and isn't that a pain in that ass
@dull turret fish market, a fishing hole, nautical themed items placed around, a kind of dock/ loading an unloading bay for ships, a lake/pond at the centre of the town with fishing access
Hopefully any of those sound nice
idk why but i think im gonna make a papa johns
Out door diner-super close to RS entrances-zen area-
I'm looking to make a cheap money making option in ac that is in the form of a game any ideas
Question I turned redds bay into a pirate bay.
What did everyone else do with it?
@coral blade this is what I did with reds bay
I'm gonna rip apart my market and make something better
@coral blade made it into a dumping area / staten island
i want map layouts
Red sais "ignore the blood"
Time to kill myself
This is mine
@neon cedar
Pirate bay xD
Except I'll have marshal in a few hours x)
Does the villager area look good on the map or too chaotic? I wanna do something natural but I’ve only allotted them this much space
Niice jelly
No I think it looks fine .. honestly map is not that important it's does it look good in game?
Just realized I can only have 8 inclines on my island and I put 5 to my entrance of my house....now I gotta demolish and restart my home layout so I can spread my inclines around 💔💔
I suppose you’re right! I always want both to look super good Dx
I don’t know why but tonight I’ve been getting so many good ideas. That NEVER happens
@pure nimbus leave some for the rest of us
Haha I had a new idea this morning but it didn't pan out 😣
ignore how messy everything is i’m redoing everything lol but what should i put in this area?? my house, the museum, something else?
Museum
And I got so much depression realising my island is so ugly haha
i kinda regret not terraforming a lot because now my island is 70% - 80% flat
Yeah museum would definitely work!
@polar iris I changed my whole island originally just for more terraforming it really adds a lot. I’d suggest maybe doing some waterfalls if you have any space to fit them
@indigo berry id usually go with a bridge
@primal ginkgo that looks good!
@indigo berry I usually take a fence of some sort and put a “gate” where the change is
I’m actually gonna end my life.
Thanks!
Bridge isn't really feasible here with my island layout
a WIP path to my museum
Denise your killing my soul
But a hedge could look good
@primal ginkgo i tried fitting waterfalls in, but theyre really small since the layout of my island is really dense and theres not much room for terraforming
i always go double incline
Also, how do you get just a plain hedge?
7/10
Talk to nook after completely NM goals for earth day
Your name and your island
Just kidding, really cool island
@woven drift r/mildlyinfuriating
I have 6 inclines already
@primal ginkgo you only get the hedges right?
@frozen axle that looks so cool
I’m soooo mad holy crap
Yes
hi! i flattened my island and i hate it, would anybody be willing to help me out? 😂 ill pay u in bells or let u catalog my furniture
I do like that area tho I did one like that but with imperial
@young axle or you could just ask and we help you
just make the path wider
it's.. a whole island LMAO
One at a time
Would you guys recommend I flatten my whole island to start terraforming?
Should I keep the museum? 🤔
I suppose I can move everything by a square to the left
@blazing galleon nooooo
Hahahahaha
Indeed
@woven drift why are you mad?
I’m lazy though
I feel that
Should I delete everything and start new?
@woven drift do it!
I’m gonna guillotine Tom Nook
Do you have a RS 6 tiles from airport @woven drift
Which one looks better on the beach? As like a beach house type of thing
2
2
2
2 looks Pog
does anyone know how many spaces inclines take up on the ground?
Time to move everything by one square to the left
POGGERS
Do you have a RS 6 tiles from airport @woven drift
@gusty briar yes
what should I put next to this plaza?
@woven drift oof
@woven drift I think if ur thinking about it so much ur asking ppl you should! I thought about it a little but never seriously. Just do it before u invest more!
2 I have a similar house on the beach contemplating moving a second too
what should I do in the empty space top right?
Or should I just do a one level museum?? Plz help
I think the only that would keep me from starting over is if they add the ability to sell your island later
@woven drift your staircase won't be aligned to the museum even if you move everything to the left
I meant two levels
@meager warren id do a park or maybe a secret garden area
yeah 2nd because the cliffs are behind it
@woven drift museum's doors are 3 tiles wide, inclines are 2 tiles wide
Mine is one level with a level behind it
What if I do 2 inclines and one cliff for museum
It’s SOOO messy because I just started terraforming but any recommendations?
do inclines at either side of the museum?
I got both already @primal ginkgo
Going back to plotting every inch of my town
one cliff
Yeah I wouldn’t do inclines in front of a museum unless they’re either side or sideways
but do the the two stairs going up

Hahaha I used 4 inclines on my museum
@denise That works too! Two staircases with 3 spaces in-between
@woven drift do the 2 stairs 😂
I’m limited in space too ugh )):
Oooooofff
Anyone got any ideas to take up space on my island
I wish there were different size options for stairs and bridges
I shall find a way.
Ok so does anyone else ONLY get duplicates of stuff from balloons and store?
You can do ittt
I dont know what to put next to this plaza, I need halp...
Has anyone forced their rocks to spawn in specific areas that can help me?? If you can pls dm... idk what I've done wrong but I cant get it to work and its driving me nuts 😖
@fierce night I'll pm you!
Omg why hahaha
Yes n no I just hit Mushroom month for South island so it's hit and miss for balloons so far.
@fierce night I’m pretty sure the best way to do it is to place as many items everywhere as possible so it can only spawn in the spot you want
I did get a few mushroom recipies so far but not the ones I really wanted
who's the lucky villager that gets to go in that torture chamber
Elise
hard agree
Feel free to come to my island for inspo or just to chill!
@frozen axle amazing!
she moved into my island and i found amiibo cards just to get rid of her
Shes the literal devil
if i do my museum here should i do it on a cliff or keep it on ground level ... im so indecisiveeee
Man Halloween on my island is gonna be a nightmare... I just realised it will be spring... How can I do Halloween Decor with pink trees 😤😭🤣🤣
oh danggg are u in southern hemisphere
@mossy parcel 1 incline up. It helps to decorate and give depth
@mossy parcel sure am xD
I'll see if I have a flat vs layered museum shot from before n after my renos
@coral blade add blood and bones 😂😂
@coral blade ok ty!!
Or replace all of them with the cypress teee
ahh it looks so good
added a second level of shops to my city :)
@zealous pendant goodbidea.. maybe some jail cells round islanders homes in place of fences. XD
Would be so cute to add a cafe or diner where u are
@exotic ore that would look great!
@mossy parcel thanks granted I did a 3teir museum it requires a bit more space then 2 teir
thank you so much☺️
Museum space is the bottom right corner
They need to reduce the waterscaping animation it takes too long
@woven driftahaha so true
I wish we had grids...
does anyone know the reddit link or twitter link to the video of someone's busy downtown japan street? the really popular one. i can't seem to find it. oop found it !!
I was just telling my sister “terraforming ain’t bad anymore cause I’ve done it a lot”
Look who’s struggling now
Should I make it all pink? Or change some of the chairs and a table to mint?
ive been trying to take terraforming one thing at a time but my attention span is so short that i have like 5 different unfinished areas that i keep rotating between
@mossy parcel that's how I do mine I even have a wip sign that I shove in any area I'm working on but haven't finished yet xD
and ooo i like all pink but i think if you did enough mint too it would look good
@coral blade i think it would look cute with mint & pink 🙂
Mint & pink. The contrast is nice!
Yeah I'm still on the hunt for mint small tables and chairs but I think it will look nice
so here's my island! I really hatr the way it looks and i wish i didn't remove everything. tips are very appreciated
lol
My mood this morning I started a new project that looked ugly Af
^
honestly i envy the open space ... so much opportunity
Here's my wip of my map lol
tbh idk whos the first person who thought flattening was a good idea
so many people flatten without a plan youre not the only one
im..so tempted to start over but i love my stuff
I flattened my top area and scammed myself
I also flattened my island but thankfully I had a plan beforehand
I removed te whole lot so I now have a big stretch of field I don't know what to do with . I m thinking a yoga thing or stargazing space it's on the way to my house so I really am stumped
I flattened my island because I had a plan then hated the plan lmao
i tried to keep the general shape of my river but had to change curves and i still regret it
Oooh yeah i want a stargazing place too ;w;! Really wanna use all the Celeste recipes
It takes time but it’s something you can fix just work on it one area at a time or make a plan ^^
Half my island is on the second/third levels now
How much space do I need on top of an incline?
One block two wide I think
Ty!!
^
I liked my decor but my terraforming was too close to my original island so I just restarted it
Paid 150k to move the museum 3x already omg to
@eternal star if you trade a lot I always recommend the stalls
where should i place my museum
I’m finally moving all my villagers back as well as my house to it’s new destination
I combined my star gazing area with the campsite to save space!
Just a long stretch I have no ideaaaa
if you still have custom designs, a welcome sign surrounded by flowers might be cute!
Don’t really do it @primal ginkgo
Eventually I need to move nook’s like two tiles to the right but I’m putting that off lol
My current planning
@eternal star then maybe some benches? Make a waiting area/terminal for the airport
I played the game on my bf’s switch but mine comes tomorrow (couldn’t stop myself) and I spent the whole day planning this and I am so excited!
🙂
@woven drift I started on my bfs and bought my own so now I’m just gonna have two islands 😂
My boyfriend and I both play haha
What table and chairs would look good in my orchid cafe?
I was thinking a few big mushroom tables and chairs scattered through the orchid but in the little stone space? I got no idea xD natural looks terrible
@coral blade the natural garden diy sets !!
@coral blade the straight up iron garden ones would be cute
@zealous pendant I tried natural garden set it looked odd in there too pale? If that makes sense does it have a dark wood version?
@hollow orbit that's a good idea I could try those
I think so - or maybe do the black iron sets
hi any girly girls on here who like pink a lot ? i need help with my island i wanna make it perfect . i’m a beginner so i’d appreciate the help
@woven drift um depends like I like pink but I wouldn't define myself that way.
what if im a girly boy
@zealous pendant I have the chairs but not the table could I pay you some bells to make me a few tables?
a girly boy is fine 💓
oh im not girly
oh okay lmfaoo
Girl you don’t have to pay me just have the mats @coral blade
Does anyone have a good or cute design in from of their tailor shop?? Please show me!!!
has anyone got a natural looking island I can see because terraforming makes everything look so squared and I don't want it to AAAA
like the map
Haha okay I certainly have mats it's just iron right?
Yea
Want to come to me? Or me to you?
@woven drift Perfection! 😍
Well I have my island opened for free for people to fish
@woven drift progress! 👏
I’ll close up on a bit and dm you
i want the mush furniture SO BAD but im NH :9
@zealous pendant sure sounds good. I'll make the chairs and see how they look to start with xD
tbh i havent fished in animal crossing since i started terraforming
@bold vale november for you then xD
is the museum 7x4? i just counted like 10 mins ago but i forget already lmao
@terse terrace ikr same.
i only fish for new ones to donate then thats it
ive been sitting on 16m from turnips and havent tried tomake money since
Can I visit someone's 5☆ natural themed island?
Can I visit someone's 5☆ natural themed island?
@merry inlet mine is kind of nature!
im going to invite people so hard when its finished
I'd love to visitA
@mossy parcel
@bold vale just dm me a dodo!
@swift stag ahh tysm !!
o shit meteor shower? 😮
what do you guys use to label your map
@woven drift hehehe thank you ❤️ and looking beautiful as ever! I loveeeee the stone stairs
I'm gonna let God take the wheel what should I do?
Each
8 of each
Okay good I was worried lmao
@swift stag I was gonna do a 3 level but look
lol
It’s not even??? Sorry my eyes are still blurry lmao
Anyone have any ideas for what I should do here?
@woven drift B I USED TWO STAIRS 😭😭😭😭😭
It wasn’t even for the three level so had to do 2 )):
Are there any other buildings like the lighthouse or silo?
@woven drift aww show me photo when it’s completed please
Say goodbye haha
you have like 70 different types of china dont shatter them all :(
The pop up shop I have on my island will have their permanent location
Looking for museum inspiration
Does anyone have orange brick? Or can they share a code?
@patent sky ty that looks so cool
statue of samorthraki is my fav
@terse terrace wait I’m literally adding a third level rn for my museum to go
lel my museum is on 1st layer
can anyone give suggestions for what to do with a very small free space? it’s like 8x8 in a perfect square and there’s two mini cafes next to it so i don’t wanna do one of those... i’m stumped ahahaha
i want mine on 2nd probably
Aaaaand no waterfalls either haha
@swift pier Picnic area?
my museum is 10 steps from the airport
I need some ideas for my island, friends
@patent sky 😨😨😨😨
@swift pier this is 8 x 4-5
there’s a picnic site on a hill right in front of it lol
i like my island flat chested like a man of true taste 😏
That was @ the market not the cute entry pic
oooh that’s beautiful
LOL I gotcha
dat butterfly model is everything @patent sky
What are some ideas for my garden themed island
Maybe I'll do one last tour before I rip the market down and make it better
Anyone have a 5 star island I can visit?
should i terraform first then move buildings or vice versa?
Move houses to beach area
Well basically everything that’s not in their final positions
so i’ll have to move them twice? ;-;
Correct
i put my campsite in a little corner on the third level. i thought it looked cute for a while but now i’m regretting it and dunno if i should redo 😔😔
money 😭
I know ☹️
i would plan out first if i were you, make a rough sketch
This is where I come in and say I'll buy all your extra bug and fish models haha
basically I moved everything to the beach and demolish all inclines and bridges
I'm collecting them for... reasons
Why are u regretting it? @azure sky the campsite is rarely accessed and the best structure to place far away
Because aesthetics and knowing it’s not in the correct placement you want
@marble rampart late reply but i’d me more than welcome to!
@bleak sigil i think making it slightly bigger and adding more items to it would make it look better, though i might just leave it
@magic knot I worked in small areas and not all at once. So I only moved 1 or 2 buildings and terraformed a small space at a time. That could be an alternative for u. But I didn’t do a uniform symmetrical island which requires planning and complete flattening... I followed mostly my islands natural structure and just enhanced certain parts
@swift stag this is off topic but whys ur pfp sideways? 🙁
Anyone have pics of their entries I'm out of ideas
@terse terrace Some photos just look better sideways 🤣
i think you look fine right side up
@terse terrace Well thank you for that 🙊
Can I visit anyones island for some inspo? 👉👈 I'm so conflicted on what to do with mine haha
BRUH DONT LOL
XD
tysm and omg you might get a party of people lol
Anyone have pics of their entries I'm out of ideas
@surreal yoke https://twitter.com/pkizzie92/status/1254270840826298368?s=20 this has my entrance
redid all my buildings today and made this white forest #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/qKm63LOjBD
I mean I guess people can’t use shovels unless ur friends right so it ain’t that bad
i have star fragments on the ground for decoration 😦
bridges can’t be over 2 space wide rivers right
people are gonna snatch your ish
XD
I hate it when I open the island and all they do is DM me code?? like how rude
@bold vale I LOVE that airport entrance and park leading to the back
i just like growing money trees. i wish money grow on trees
Open your islands only to decent human beings cos some ppl b asses in this game
And my friend had his turnips stolen
Tru
@bold vale I LOVE that airport entrance and park leading to the back
@smoky vine thanks! the white forst looks better now that the trees grew. lol.
Idk I don’t have anything to take besides I guess fruit lmfao
If u were trying to grow hybrids like me
also, the flowers in front of nooks are all the extras i have from rain... i need to get rid of so many
Ppl tramping on your flowers is the ultimate F u
I have tons but I don’t care if people pick them
idc if people trample but it is rude.
Like they can’t take the root so
They take days to grow back
i wouldnt trample other people's flowers
Time travel
And it’s my hybrid! Wtf!
Baby got her first golden rose!!! Ignore the fact that my island is not cute here
@bleak sigil There’s people who steal your turnips and people who feel like they committed a crime when they accidentally run on your flowers 😭
I wouldn't dare run on someone else flowers
And some people don't time travel so it literally takes days to get your flowers back
In my face
Like she was running circles on my garden beds
can anyone send inspo for a neighborhood situation?? lol.
ANIMAL woah
@bleak sigil Wait someone did that to you? What an ass
But about 50 flowers were alr gone
does anyone want to tour my island? im bored. only letting like 2-3 people in
I wish there was a way to kick specific people
Cos she came from the side and I only saw her when she got to the middle
i intentionally run on my flowers and its like theyre made from steel and titanium
you can actually force kick everyone
Yeah idk why there’s isn’t an indicator for people on your island
@swift pier bridges can be up to 4 spaces
its 5 star if that matters lmao
Yea ppl b crazy @swift stag so don’t ever post dodo publicly
nature-ish/lunary themed
Also don't post your dodo in chat I had so many people incoming we were stuck in menus for 15 minutes
oh i meant like, you can’t put a bridge on a stretch of river that’s only 2 squares wide
@patent sky Oh my goodness
River must be at least 3
i keep my residential area in one spot and very close to each other so i can check if they have diy fast
i have some diy recipes 🙂
@bold vale show some pictures :0
@bold vale yessss can I come visit?
But side bridges (flat ones) look better on 4 wide
but hey its a preference XD
my rule is that you have to use the recipe immediately
I'm not one for neighborhoods because then I have too much space
I like everything to feel cozy and houses spaced out
Me too! I spaced everything out and even then I struggle with other communal spaces cos the map is just huge
@swift pier
I build around the small spaces of my island and expand the ideas from there
Seating area?picnic area? I have a market place right in r front
Yes picnic area!! @zealous pendant
@zealous pendant i put a lil concert area in my marketplace plaza in a place like that
I use my basement to store my recipes
with like a guitar, sax, mic, and a record player so villagers come and sing
Yea same I have no idea what to put in a basement
@zealous pendant I’d say picnic area, are you going to fence it?
They sing at my plaza without any instruments hahaha
Last call for tour group before I shut down for several days to destroy the spirited away market
But a singing area will be cute
@muted quartz this area is towards the right of the market place just haven’t fully put in the instruments
aw heck yeah that looks super nice - i think a picnic area would look great like the others said!
@pure nimbus
can anyone help me with my island layout >_<
@tiny nova @terse terrace I put all my bears there like some demented bear lady LOL
@hot lynx theme?
no,, as in the actual layout
Nvm I wanna visit @bold vale hahaha
I’m asking what theme you want/have
@hot lynx just ask a specific question we are always ready to help
So ill make it into a picnic area fencing off each fruit group - grass and picnic blanket QR code with food items
i can send a pic
Cos of the north orientation most ppl choose to make the height north of the map@hot lynx
I’m looking for fruit designs to put in my orchard. Anyone have any?
I finally did it
my general rule is to put mountains towards the back of my map just so stuff can't get hidden behind them and you get a bit more space to work with
@echo pelican #custom-design-help🎨
thats my plan!! except i dont want it to look too linear...
i agree with this 1000% @muted quartz
I tore it down, now it's time to rebuild
LMAO SPEAKING OF LINEAR
There’s nothing wrong with linear maps lol
Just round the corners it won’t look linear @hot lynx if that’s not what you’re going for
That's not necessarily what I mean,, here I'll send a pic of my island!!
I personally avoid symmetrical looks @tawny sleet
@zealous pendant ty
@hot lynx you could always try to made a design out of them
@bleak sigil to each their own
This is what I have so far ;~;
@latent ibex good job! 👏🏻
