island-designs

[past jetty]

It's a video lemme get it, may take a bit because my internet sucks rn

[dusky wave]

@raven kindle it looks really good but for the playground i recommend a different fencing, perhaps iron fencing

[verbal haven]

i need some town hall inspiration!!!!!

[zealous valve]

i wish i could film it 😂@humble grove

[south wraith]

im resetting my island guys... AAA

[raven kindle]

Okay thanks @dusky wave

[humble grove]

Oky thats fine thanks could u dm it to me? Im about to getoff discord and i dont want to scroll up @past jetty

[zealous valve]

you can visit it if you want

[humble grove]

Oh sure i can’t get on rn but can i visit later? @zealous valve

[glacial warren]

Do you think the boxes in yellow for the villager houses would look good here? Trying to fit another house don’t know if that’s gonna work

[zealous valve]

@humble grove yah just lmk

[dusky wave]

@wintry junco okay thank you!

[sinful drift]

@sinful drift whats up you feeling jealous too?
@south wraith

I just- I thought i would be good at terraforming and stuff but im not good with cliffs... i thought i had an idea of a theme but i dont, and now everything really sucks, every part of my island is different, every housetheme is different, none of the flowers match, nor that paths, i have stuff lying everywhere that i wont get rid of, and and and and ajgkgojbpu

[north schooner]

Lol me every time I come here

[south wraith]

i get you i feel the exact same way tbh

[sinful drift]

I really wanna cry ngl

[north schooner]

But I’m learning to love my island the way it is because I’m making it!

[past jetty]

Oops

[south wraith]

@sinful drift you could always reset if you really hate where ur island is going

[humble grove]

@zealous valve tysm!

[past jetty]

I was supposed to dm I didn't see, sorry

[sinful drift]

Oh hell no

[zealous valve]

i hate how stairs wont center 😠had to do 4 stairs for my museum because of that

[sinful drift]

Al
That work i did?? For terraforming 😩

[merry inlet]

@sinful drift @south wraith if you guys want you can check out some of my terraforming! I'm nowhere near done but it might give you some ideas

[raven loom]

Has anyone tried to make “habitat” type neighbour hoods for their villagers?

[sinful drift]

The last thing i need rn is to see soemone elses amazing put together island 😩

[south wraith]

i spent 100 hours on acnh and i think i might reset

[merry inlet]

Mine is nowhere near put together lol

I have bits and pieces all over

[reef pulsar]

i hate how stairs wont center 😠had to do 4 stairs for my museum because of that
@zealous valve this...... me too it triggers my OCD

[humble grove]

@past jetty for some reason its not loading for me 😔😔

[marble dragon]

@raven loom i haven't heard of anyone doing that but it sounds so cool!!

[finite basalt]

i got terraforming today and i promptly removed all first floor rivers and ponds, and destroyed the third floor entirely. thank god its done.

[past jetty]

Maybe download the video @humble grove

[raven loom]

@marble dragon I’m trying it myself but with villagers like cats/dogs it’s really a struggle lol

[zealous valve]

@reef pulsar ocd here too 😔

[versed wadi]

@raven loom if you mean theming where your placing villagers based on the villager then I’m doing that. It’s a lot of fun!

[merry inlet]

Can you get a villager on a mystery island if all 10 of your slots are full?

[raven loom]

@sinful drift comparison will be the death of you! Try to look at other people for inspiration and admiration instead, or you’ll always be stuck thinking your island is lacklustre in comparison 💗

[blazing sorrel]

I made one really cute heart river and sitting spot and can not be bothered with the rest of the island because I know it’s going to be so much

[dapper ginkgo]

@merry inlet no

[brittle crescent]

Pls send pics when u do it!! That sounds rly cool @raven loom

[sinful drift]

But but ht

[marble dragon]

@raven loom maybe you could do something like an indoor pet theme? Idk if it would work really well but you could use like cat towers, pet beds, pet food bowls, etc

[oak thunder]

I’ve decided to have fruit stalls. A stall for every fruit and there’s gonna be a fruit on each stall obviously but I have no idea what I could display next to it. Any ideas?

[lyric carbon]

i need help im new to the game and i need a shovel.

[past jetty]

@humble grove I'll dm it to you as well just incase

[alpine locust]

any better housing inspo? kinda overthinking this :>

[north schooner]

Alright guys I’m thinking I’m going to move my shops but does it make more sense to put them below RS or to the left?

[copper atlas]

Anyone wanna share picnic areas? I need some ideas. I have such a great spot for one!

[past jetty]

Need nitro oof

[north schooner]

Also ignore my baby island lmao

[sinful drift]

Maybe

[north schooner]

I’m trying my best

[sinful drift]

Maybe its not too late

[north schooner]

😤

[raven loom]

@brittle crescent @versed wadi ty!! And will do. I’ve been more like setting it up like a “zoo” habitat I guess - for example I have 2 eagles on a clifftop with pine trees covering their houses, & two wolves built into a cliffside so it’s like a “cave” you walk into

[sinful drift]

Maybe i can make my island pastel and woody and natural

[south wraith]

@versed wadi that looks so good, can i come by and get a tour?

[sinful drift]

With the same flowers and paths

[alpine locust]

@versed wadi 😭😭 that's so cute,. I might just do something like that

[merry inlet]

@copper atlas I'm really proud of mine!

[marble dragon]

@versed wadi i love how each villager has their own space!

[merry inlet]

You can't see much of it

[north schooner]

Should the shops be to the right of RS or below?

[raven loom]

@copper atlas here is one of mine!

[north schooner]

Trying to fill that empty space lol

[past jetty]

Those of you who don't take photos of your switch to send pics in here, what do you use because I need it

[versed wadi]

Most do. My villagers with town houses have a residential area

[sinful drift]

Would anyone with a natural or cottage island come to mine? I feel like if I visited you then id actaully break

[copper atlas]

These look great! I should used a path for a blanket didn’t even think of that!

[marble dragon]

@past jetty i assume most upload to twitter then post here

[past jetty]

Oof okay

[marble dragon]

Or facebook i think

[raven loom]

@versed wadi I LOVE the personality you’ve put into your villagers spaces!!

[past jetty]

Going to make another Twitter account only so I can do that lol

[copper atlas]

@versed wadi boy would I love to see your island! I love the villagers having separate areas...

[oak thunder]

@past jetty my switch account is linked to my facebook. I take a screenshot or in game photo and upload to Facebook so only I can see it, crop it and upload it to here

[north schooner]

I would die of jealousy if I went to @versed wadi’s island lmao

[marble dragon]

@past jetty lol yeah, i've been thinking about finally making a twitter account just for this lol

[versed wadi]

Molly:

Lucky:

[elder lily]

The planning your map around ur villagers is so precious I love it

[versed wadi]

Erik:

[sinful drift]

Can i see your layout? How you have space for the houses?

[versed wadi]

Shep:

Dobie:

[blazing sorrel]

They’re all so incredible @versed wadi!!

[versed wadi]

Poppy, Apollo and Lolly

[floral topaz]

anyone got any like forest or like fairy garden inspo for me im trying to decorate my path in my forest

[past jetty]

McGibbon consistently posts amazing photos in here. It also gives me ideas to steal

[zealous pendant]

I dk what I was thinking ...that I bought 4 robot heroes 😭

[versed wadi]

I need to do Fauna next

[past jetty]

Bruh???????

How much though?

[south wraith]

@versed wadi that looks so good i think im going to restart my island and go for the same theme!

[grim knot]

Made a cosy place for Rocco

[marble portal]

I made this small area. Any ideas? For a small space :0

[past jetty]

I want Rocco off my island I'm glad you like him though

[floral topaz]

cafe

[versed wadi]

I’m having so much fun with this game. ☺️

[marble portal]

I have a cafe + park down already 😦

[past jetty]

Library?

[grim knot]

@past jetty he was one my villager in AC GameCube :)

[south wraith]

@versed wadi where do you have your flowers?

[zinc vapor]

Anybody have ideas for an entrance with a close by townhall ?

[versed wadi]

I don’t really care too much about hybrids tbh.

[zinc vapor]

I really have problems with the space

[sinful drift]

This is sylvias house..

[woven drift]

A part of me wants peitro and a part of me doesn’t

[past jetty]

I like Fuschia and Apollo the most because I had them in my ACNL town

[versed wadi]

Some people have helped me out with the odd ones, like the black roses in Lucky’s graveyard.

[sacred aspen]

I'm trying to redesign my island, does anyone have any tips that can help me?

[sinful drift]

Vesta and gretas

[south wraith]

@versed wadi did you use time travel?

[grim knot]

And this is were I dispose of unsolicited visitors

[merry inlet]

@sacred aspen do you time travel or no?

[marble portal]

Library sounds like a good idea! I might try. Can you put rugs on the ground? I saw some but I tried to put down some rugs but failed

[coarse pond]

@versed wadi i really like the area you did for your houses!

[woven drift]

Just have fun and don’t be afraid to mess up. Least that’s how I’m doing it @grim knot please sacrifice Curly for me

[sacred aspen]

@merry inlet I haven't yet

[past jetty]

I think only in houses

[versed wadi]

@south wraith I do it one day forward and back to speed up construction

[south wraith]

i totally get that imma do that too lol

[sinful drift]

Can someone with a natural or cottage island PLEASE come visit me and help me out

[copper atlas]

@versed wadi do have a Twitter, Instagram or anything where you share you Animal Crossing experience. Lol not a stalker but I love how much effort you put into this game!

[merry inlet]

@sacred aspen if you're willing to I'd suggest move everything like houses and such to the beaches, then flatten all of it

[south wraith]

its like i like time travel but also i want to keep the game the date im at

[versed wadi]

Like it took me 7 attempts to get Molly in the right place today. I don’t have the patience to wait a week.

[raven loom]

This is my “eagle habitat” (Apollo and Celia) put it on top of a cliff and then next to a large river/lots of pine trees to try and get that natural feeling since I couldn’t just build a giant nest lol

[grim knot]

@woven drift I'll end her whole carrier

[sinful drift]

HOW DO YOU GUYS MAKE IT LOOKSO NATURALLDJJSMDMS

[sacred aspen]

@merry inlet okay ty i think ill try that, any thing else?

[slender jewel]

“Im going to make a park to have my villagers live around! It’ll be a small project” -Me

The park:

[versed wadi]

[slender jewel]

It’s like I drew a bullseye with the terraforming tools

[copper atlas]

@versed wadi thanks 🙏🏽

[north schooner]

My one area I’m proud of lol

[raven loom]

@sinful drift honestly .. the trick is to just throw things down randomly

[sinful drift]

i tried that and its like nothing clicks??? Like st all??? My campsite really looks bad

It feels so cluttered 😔

[raven loom]

I’d throw in more foliage for sure! And make the paths less even for a natural look.

[scenic blaze]

My lake decor is fiiiiinally starting to come together

although i have to replace my bridge with stone now UGH

[shadow flare]

i wish u could upgrade bridges

[raven loom]

The diagonal bridges get me every time 😍

[strange imp]

Azalea Town (wip)

[marble portal]

I need more bridges and inclines in my island lol

After getting mad over max 8 I now only have 0

[scenic blaze]

i literally built this island in the middle of my lake for the purpose of having an adorable wooden diagonal suspension bridge

and now i have to replace with STONE because it'll WORK BETTER

life is cruel

[rugged quest]

Finally got the statues I want to finish my museum area

[bright wharf]

@sinful drift mood i’m looking at all these pictures and i feel like crying because mine’s a MESS

[thin tartan]

Yo so I want to have orchards and town stuff on separate levels but should I put my orchards on top of the cliffs, or town stuff on the cliffs?

[strange imp]

Are there any buildings in the game similar to the lighthouse?

[scenic blaze]

silo maybe

[sinful drift]

MINE TOO 😭😭 i just got off cause im so frustrated!!

[thin tartan]

@strange imp pagoda and possibly others

[bright wharf]

@sinful drift same!!!!! whenever i feel frustrated i just. shut down everything

[sinful drift]

😭😭😭

😭😭😭

[strange imp]

Yes

[bright wharf]

mood i always thought that my island looks SO MUCH SMALLER compared to others i dont even know where to put stuffs 😭

[strange imp]

That's exactly what I needed

[raven loom]

A big annoyance for me in my town was that you couldn’t change town hall, so I instead decided to “work” with it.. video shows progress and photo is a view of it now!

The last section turned into where able sisters is

[versed wadi]

My town hall is literally wrapped in cliffs. The changes in elevation help with a more natural transition

[bright wharf]

@versed wadi could u take a pic of ur map pleaseee ?

@raven loom same?!!?! i hated how my town hall is so far from the airport .... 😭🤲🏻🤲🏻

[woven drift]

about to spend another 50k on moving the museum farther back 😔

[woven drift]

i love how fauna has her own farm

[versed wadi]

@bright wharf ^

[woven drift]

she deserves it

[versed wadi]

Yeah I’ve saved her till last. Starting the farm tomorrow

[woven drift]

when you see all these amazing islands and want to move all your villagers houses to the beach and start again 🙃

[bright wharf]

@versed wadi woah thats amazing.. honestly i have the time i just don’t have the effort 🤐🤐🤐

[junior aurora]

Hi so I’m struggling I see all these fire island and I want mine to be fire but it sadly isn’t can u all offer some help or advice

[bright wharf]

how do you guys have such amazing natural looking islands i look at mine and i just. no words

[zenith matrix]

Anyone have any suggestions on what to put in these two open areas ? Preferably the one on the bottom left. 🤔🤔 ignore top right it’s under big time construction

[shadow flare]

im givin up on the whole disney theme now, i still want to incorporate the 5 lands just giving myself more freedom. The idea honestly trapped my creativity

[tender harbor]

What's the best thing to put next to a long vertical cliff? I have a gigantic river but idk if I like it

[patent sky]

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

[zenith matrix]

Omg 😂😂 love it @patent sky

[tender harbor]

@zenith matrix Bottom left, a lil vacation spot/exotic outdoor restaurant setup

[woven drift]

anyone know when there are autumn trees? i’ve seen them and the trees are so so pretty

[past jetty]

I have a river right next to my residential area which spans the entire right side of my island. The river follows the cliff and I keep it that way, with waterfalls all the way.

[visual hamlet]

2 hours later...

[tender harbor]

@past jetty Can you post a screenshot in game?

[past jetty]

I don't have a photo but I do have a video

[woven drift]

yall i just got five star im so happy-

[tender harbor]

Can I see it? @past jetty

[dreamy cliff]

oh this looks cool

[past jetty]

In that video it isn't really easy to see the river but I can get my layout for you

[tender harbor]

Yeah, please. I'd love to see it

Idk what to do with mine

[woeful quiver]

Trying to make this area :((

[humble grove]

Ong

[woven drift]

[humble grove]

I cant even get a star fragment🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🤠🤠

[woeful quiver]

The creator of it is @woven drift

[woven drift]

wtf that looks amazing

[woeful quiver]

I’m trying to make it like that

[woven drift]

ohhh you trying to remake it?

[woeful quiver]

Yeah

[woven drift]

i’m about to cry i didn’t just spend 50k so i can’t move the museum because the museum is in the way

[woeful quiver]

I’ll send the pic of how it turns out

I have a great idea on how to make a myeseum

You wanna terraform

A big piece of land

[past jetty]

OOPS sorry about the wait @tender harbor I'll get it now

[woeful quiver]

And then our museum on tip

Top

[versed wadi]

@woven drift yeah it sucks, it’s 100,000 for minute adjustments

[steep hollow]

@past jetty Layout looks great! I wish someone could design my whole island. Lol

[woven drift]

the lily omg- 🥺 im so happy

[manic nebula]

hi guys is anyone willing to let me come to their island for inspo. im willing to pay! dm me pls 🙂

[woeful quiver]

Anyone want me to build em a golden seat :))

My zen garden 🙂

[cyan cedar]

Anyone want me to build em a golden seat :))
@woeful quiver i could :))

[heavy summit]

Kinda awkward a garden is mostly floored with wood

[woeful quiver]

Yeah tbh

I want to do grass

But I like the wood it looks nice

@cyan cedar do you mean your gonna make one for me or you want one

[torn siren]

@woeful quiver

[heavy summit]

Nice zen garden

[past jetty]

@tender harbor

The terraforming so far looks... Odd, but eh.

[quiet peak]

What would be a good pirate themed fencing

[warm marten]

there was a picture i saw forever ago but cant find it, can someone help we with campsite setup inspiration? ;w;

[heavy summit]

Country fence

[cyan cedar]

@cyan cedar do you mean your gonna make one for me or you want one
@woeful quiver i could make u one

[past jetty]

Especially the river mouth and the little pond at the top

[scenic blaze]

@quiet peak spiky fence 100%

[tender harbor]

@past jetty I have the double south rivers too. I'm shocked you fit them all like that. So you have waterfalls coming down from the residental space?

[woeful quiver]

Oh I already have one ty tho!!

[woven drift]

@past jetty yo can you take a picture of the little land part that sticks out on the right? Idk what to do with mine

[heavy summit]

Spiky fence is more world war fencing

[quiet peak]

@quiet peak spiky fence 100%
@scenic blaze do you mean iron and stone fencing???

[scenic blaze]

no lol spiky fence

[past jetty]

Yeah I do. Also, I haven't actually done anything with that yet LOL @woven drift

[quiet peak]

That exists?

[past jetty]

Going to put some stands and stuff like a little boardwalk

[scenic blaze]

@quiet peak

[woven drift]

Its big enough for like 1 stand lmao

[cyan cedar]

I use that fence to torture the villagers i dont want 💀

[woven drift]

Iam not sure i nailed this little area here so whats your opinion

[quiet peak]

Ah

[woven drift]

@woven drift looks like a cafe spot to me

[quiet peak]

That might work I was also think like some stone fence

[scenic blaze]

barbed wire could work too

[heavy summit]

I use spiky fence for anti tank blockers

[past jetty]

Nah you can fit like 4 there

[woven drift]

@woven drift add some bamboo trees! And bamboo stuff in general like the deer stake, partitions,speakers or stools

Oh its way bigger without a godzilla

[distant tendon]

Was taking a picture of my forest and then

[past jetty]

You put a godzilla there? Lol

[gusty shard]

FINALLY finished completely revamping my residential areas! The furnishing isn't complete yet but at least the pathing/patterning is!

Cute residential areas! #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch

Twitter

[woven drift]

happy man

Idk what to do with it!

[summer mirage]

@woven drift try putting the sand under the fences too? The bits of grass around the edge mess with the zen vibe a bit

[quiet peak]

I got the skull done all I need to do is decorate then it will be ready for touring

[maiden wraith]

anyone got any suggestions on how to place my villagers?

[woven drift]

tfw ur a punk but ur going for a cottagecore theme

[quiet peak]

Also how do I make the town hall pirate themed lol

[woven drift]

These r my zen areas

[untold pike]

Hey guys! I built a little cafe right in front of the nooks cranny but I’m not sure what to do as far as a kitchen/server post. Any ideas? Trying to only use the space right in front of me

[tawny sleet]

@quiet peak color schemes can help with themes sometimes like maybe black red and gold? They seem like pirate colors to me

[heavy summit]

U cant decorate the town hall

Just around it lol

[woeful quiver]

Anyone want me to craft em moon chairs

[quiet peak]

Also how can I make my entrance more pirate like

[ashen radish]

@untold pike you could put market stalls and use custom hat designs for food!

[tawny sleet]

@quiet peak one spiked fencing on either side

[pure garden]

@quiet peak Sand paths instead of dirt paths, palm trees on sand, and especially barrels

[quiet peak]

Ah okay

[heavy summit]

U can make a bridge and then destroy one side to make a pier

[gusty shard]

I also placed a bench in my island dedicated to myself for all the blood, sweat and tears I put into it 😂

[formal otter]

how is it looks little bit like a jojo reference lmao

[quiet peak]

Maybe throw in some oranges so I dont get scurvys

[past jetty]

There's a horse in my campsite that looks... Odd

[quiet peak]

Ceassssssssssarrrr

[graceful burrow]

Is it bad i havent rlly terraformed. Ppl are doing such cool morphing mine feels kinda meh

[heavy summit]

Its fine

[quiet peak]

Mines terrible dont worry your not the only one

[graceful burrow]

Each to your own i guess

I've basically made everything flat ;-;

[shadow flare]

thats the best place to start

then imagine where u want ur cliffs to be

[potent rampart]

Does anyone have any playground photo inspo?

[woven drift]

i watched a bunch of tutorials and took inspiration off pinterest :))

i watched a bunch of tutorials and took inspiration off pinterest :))

[graceful burrow]

@potent rampart IG is my place for decor inspo

[wooden radish]

Does anyone have diy for iron grey fencing diy for graves🥺 rlly want to build a cemetery ! FT :NMT

[zealous bay]

Any enchanted forest photo inspo? 🌸🌸🌸

[woven drift]

flattening my island and accidentally trapped him

[queen nexus]

LOL

[wooden radish]

Does anyone know how to get studded face mask

[graceful burrow]

I think i've done too much to go back 😂💀

[queen nexus]

That's what they get for interrupting your terraforming

[shadow flare]

Raymond: ur probably wondering how i got here, funny story...

[potent rampart]

@potent rampart IG is my place for decor inspo
@graceful burrow do u know any accs? 🥺

[maiden wraith]

Can anyone give me help with how to place my villagers homes?

[potent rampart]

This is how my layout is looking

[frozen axle]

The moon shrine floor design is done, just need a few more floor lights

[naive haven]

How have you guys decorated outside your Nooks Cranny/Abel Sisters?

[woven drift]

@frozen axle gorgeous

[pure quest]

bro that’s crazy what

[woven drift]

Any ideas for Marina and Zucker’s exterior?

[graceful burrow]

@potent rampart i dont think there are specific accounts, i just come across ppl sharing their stuff and save it. If you want u can hmu on IG and i'll give u a lil spam

[wintry junco]

@frozen axle wow

[pure quest]

i went from this to this

[woven drift]

@graceful burrow aw did you finally get pekoe!

[pure quest]

the struggle was f****** real

[potent rampart]

Not done yet but that’s pretty much the layout

[merry fulcrum]

Does anyone have any good housing layouts? I need some help

[quiet peak]

@quiet peak Sand paths instead of dirt paths, palm trees on sand, and especially barrels
@pure garden is this what your were imagining for sand paths because I cant place it anymore else

[raven loom]

Sometimes I just think about how crazy this game would get if we had custom content furniture like the sims or something

[graceful burrow]

@woven drift i had to pay 2 million + 15nmt ticket for her tho 😭😭

[woeful quiver]

Blathers watching Celeste get captured 👁👄👁

[woven drift]

@graceful burrow that’s actually not bad!!

[woven drift]

At least it’s not that much NMT

[woeful quiver]

I need pekoe

[shadow flare]

should i terraform the whole starting mountain then build a new one or go from the original?

[graceful burrow]

@woven drift its not bad for rich ppl, but i emptied my entire bank LMAO im broke cuz of her. Worthit tho

[pure quest]

use what you have

[compact canopy]

Does this look like a good island layout?

[pure quest]

don’t destroy it lol it’s a pain

[round compass]

Y’all should I flatten my island and build it up

[woven drift]

I need the rattan set for my tiki bar smh

[pure quest]

just form the mountain into what you want, you don’t gotta make it harder on your self

[raven loom]

@quiet peak if you raised your house a level & built tapered off cliff edges around it with water underneath you could make it look like it’s on a ship

[round compass]

It’s so overwhelming

[graceful burrow]

@woven drift i have a lot of rattan stuff if u wanna catalogue

[shadow flare]

@round compass take it one step at a time

[woven drift]

@graceful burrow I’m gonna dm you!

[shadow flare]

i overwhelm myself too when i start thinking too grand

[round compass]

Because I like my island but I want it to be more themed yenno

[opaque phoenix]

could someone help me with musuem ideas? i swear i had it all designed but i disliked it a lot so i ripped it down.,,, designing around this building is the bane of my existence pls help

[twilit crater]

I'm going crazy with terraforming and watermaking. I think i destroyed my island permanently and I already spent so much money moving houses and shops away from my work that I'm gonna cry if this ends up looking bad in the end

[round compass]

@opaque phoenix maybe add some waterfalls

[twilit crater]

More turnip selling i go

[woven drift]

im looking for gravestones , does anyone have some by any chance? i wanna make a graveyard-

[native quiver]

@twilit crater same here, im so stressed because i messed everything up lmao

[opaque phoenix]

i like those sculptures!! @woven drift

[twilit crater]

@native quiver RIGHT?!! ITS SO STRESSFUL

[eternal ginkgo]

should i put my museum on its own cliff (on the left) or try to put it with the shops on the right

[opaque phoenix]

@round compass i could try that, i have some waterfalls behind it but hmmm

[crisp topaz]

Anyone have any cool ideas for villager houses? I hate having them all lined up

[woven drift]

I have another one of the statues that’s on the left I’m sellin for NMTs lol idk if I’m gonna use it

[twilit crater]

I lowkey wanna restart but the beginning of the game is sooo slooooow

[native quiver]

i wish i could just reset the whole layout without starting the game over ;_;

[twilit crater]

SAME

[eternal ginkgo]

i reset twice already😭

[round compass]

@crisp topaz add backstory to their houses, make them own a diner or sum

[glacial warren]

If anyone needs inspo! 💕

[shadow flare]

can we just have a top down city builder setting like HHD but for terraforming

[woven drift]

@glacial warren I love the library area !!

[shadow flare]

this would shave days off creating

[pure quest]

i need ideas for a flower farm/Garden

[glacial warren]

@woven drift Thank you! Just need to put trees and some flooring down 🙌🏻

[faint path]

Zodiac Café, still a work in progress! Any ideas ?

[woven drift]

@glacial warren ima save that pic for inspo if you don’t mind!!

[somber sapphire]

is making a little neighborhood for all the villagers really worth all the trouble???

[woven drift]

Yes

[twilit crater]

cries Yes

[glacial warren]

@woven drift of course! ❤️

[pure quest]

[woven drift]

I like my neighborhood area BUT I will possible be moving Marina and Zucker to the beach

[twilit crater]

I wish i could move resident services

[native quiver]

YEA

[floral topaz]

i need ideas the the tallest cliffs on my island

[brazen lagoon]

Thanks

[idle axle]

I’m thinking of building cliffs in this area next to the river and putting nooks or ables with some outdoor seating in-front, what do you think?

[pure quest]

any body has a Flower Garden/ Farm ?

[twilit crater]

cuz i was looking for inspiration and found this and then cried when i learned u cant move resident services

[native quiver]

that picture makes me wanna cry

[twilit crater]

Same

I just want it so bad. just. copy and paste into my island. plz

[woven drift]

Still don’t know how to make my tiki area ):

[pure quest]

i neeeed a flower garden idea 😭😭😭

[near wraith]

@autumn marten I think people are calling that “cottage” style (or cottage core I’ve heard too)

[woven drift]

Need more custom slots or I’m gonna lose it

[silent elk]

Ideas for a residential area where the villages live ?

[fallow valley]

My cat Cafe haha help me make it better

[frozen axle]

Add cats

And by cats i mean paper tigers

[fallow valley]

Oh good idea!

[frozen axle]

Or those maneki neko statues

[scenic blaze]

the cat bed with the custom design to look like a cat snoozin would be cute too

[frozen axle]

Pretty sure those are in this game

[fallow valley]

I'll look for that stuff!

[frosty pond]

Thoughts ? Any changes I should make ? Not really feeling the front too much tbh lol

[dapper ginkgo]

@frosty pond pathing around the fountain is gorgeous oml

[frozen axle]

Planning on stonehenging the entire upper rim, but i need a ton of stone

[zinc hull]

terraforming is really making my brain hurt today

[woven drift]

Anybody know where to find this or something similar

[frosty pond]

Ty @dapper ginkgo it took forever cuz I'm an amateur lol

[mild willow]

Anyone have island name ideas?

[prime pawn]

I need more friends on animal crossing and I’m pretty new to this whole thing and I don’t know where to go to find friends so... yeah, here’s my SW:6644-4229-1602
My fruit is cherry’s if anyone wants to hangout trade or something don’t be shy p.s I’m really bad at this game

[kindred yarrow]

Cookie's house and my little enchanted garden in the back haha, any ideas?

[scenic blaze]

@frosty pond i really like a lot of stuff you've done here! the pagodas are customizable in case you wanted them to match

[woven drift]

@kindred yarrow mush lamps! I have one extra if u want for free 🙂

[kindred yarrow]

I have some in the back haha ^

[shadow flare]

im trying to use all types of flowers for each part of my island, do u guys think windflowers are the best option for a outdoor-ish area?

[scenic blaze]

@kindred yarrow plant some flowers! pink hyacinths and white cosmos would be cute here

[kindred yarrow]

I have like 5 extra I should put more

[tender harbor]

Do the left waterfalls look okay? Idk what else to do to cover the cliff. I'm going to have bushes between the waterfalls

[woven drift]

Yes put more!

[kindred yarrow]

@scenic blaze I have white cosmos, I'll check the flower trade for some pink hyacinths

[frosty pond]

Ohhh alright thanks @scenic blaze , I had no idea cuz I got them from a trade and thought they were unique lol

[kindred yarrow]

@woven drift which swatch should I use?

[woven drift]

@kindred yarrow I like the red with white circles

[gleaming quest]

Does anyone have a good pic/video of an alley way? I wanna do one but have no idea where to start

[versed knot]

@boreal solstice I really love it but my mind immediately went to the wasted space at the back lol (behind the trees)

[raven kindle]

Can you show me some pool areas in your islands? Thanks

[verbal obsidian]

Favorite incline design for a woodsy natural area. I feel like I’ve overused wooden ones every wear and wonder opinions on stone incline for woodsy area?

[barren karma]

much more organised orchard!!

[woeful quiver]

@woven drift

[frosty pond]

Sadly it's not possible @junior knoll

[versed knot]

@raven kindle in tagbacktv tour videos some players had really cool pools areas. Check it out if you have time

[torn siren]

Anything else I should add?

[verbal obsidian]

Favorite incline design for a woodsy natural area? I feel like I’ve overused the log one everywhere and wonder opinions on stone incline for woodsy area?

[versed knot]

@verbal obsidian have you tried a natural incline?

[zinc hull]

I personally use the natural one in my island

[verbal obsidian]

@versed knot let me show you what I’m doing.

[barren karma]

has anyone got recommendations for a decoration to put in the middle of my orchard? ^_^

[woeful quiver]

Here’s the original and then on the right is mine

[raven loom]

Natural, stone, and log are the go to for natural spaces I’d say

[scenic blaze]

@verbal obsidian i use natural incline for all my forest stuff

[hardy acorn]

Anybody know any good items for a picnic spot?

[woeful quiver]

Ooo me

[summer mirage]

@torn siren you could try adding a water fountain or a bench! But I also recommend rearranging a bit so the jungle gym is more in the center to use up that extra space, assuming you weren’t already planning on it

[woven drift]

Hows this looking so far? It’s like a “dark market” type of area that leads to Redds ship

[woeful quiver]

It looks like a bazaar

[heady matrix]

Lf: 5-8 people come to clear out my island.

[raven loom]

@barren karma maybe some of those water pumps with grate designs under them? Or shovels/beehives/fruit boxes

[wild yacht]

does anybody have cute pathways from the airport?

[torn siren]

Ok I'll rearrange it and see how it looks

[woven drift]

Should I add a 3rd level? Or 2 levels is good enough

[zinc hull]

@woven drift I love how it’s looking! Such a great idea

[verbal obsidian]

It’s a double incline area up to mountain house with yeti (Hans) living there. At bottom of double cliff is a little pond area @scenic blaze @versed knot @zinc hull Thoughts?

[barren karma]

i have an area for the fruit boxes/infused water! ill probably get a water pump, i just need a grate design lol :')

[versed knot]

@verbal obsidian natural will look super cool in my opinion

[verbal obsidian]

Bottom of cliff area with natural stone stepping stone patterns

[scenic blaze]

i agree natural will look great

especially with your stepping stones

[mortal marlin]

i finished my cafe! any suggestions for the right corner?

[zinc hull]

@verbal obsidian I would use a natural incline for it!

[verbal obsidian]

Stone incline option...

[versed knot]

@mortal marlin a menu perhaps. Created from simple panels

[verbal obsidian]

Natural stone slope it is. Thanks everyone!

[zinc hull]

They really help with the natural/nature feel

[verbal obsidian]

Yea it’s my official “Jinx Falls National Park” area I call it.

[scenic blaze]

@verbal obsidian here’s how I do paths with them (one on the bottom one on the right)

[nova salmon]

i have an area thats the top of one of my highest peaks and it is where all my bamboo is

i also have a gong

[dreamy fox]

Oml I love, looks so outdoorsy

[zinc hull]

It looks awesome!

[versed knot]

@verbal obsidian loved it XD it looks so awesome

[tender harbor]

What's the best path for the town square? I have stone out but idk if I like it.

[versed knot]

@tender harbor have you tried brick ?

[frosty pond]

I like to mix terracotta and stone even tho it leave the green lines in between @tender harbor

[past jetty]

Omg that campsite sign! I need it

It would fit perfectly with what I have going on by my campsite

[versed knot]

@tender harbor personally I have the circle stone paths (the ones with the darker colors) and I love it

[woven drift]

Download pocket camp and you’ll get the campsite sign @past jetty

[past jetty]

Oh geez

[woven drift]

cafe ideas please❤️

[tender harbor]

Lmao y'all each gave me a different answer. I'll try them all

[blazing sorrel]

So I got terraforming two days ago and I came up with something and it didn’t work and I can’t even be bothered to do the work to undo it and I’m just feeling really sad and unmotivated

[woven drift]

god that is such a mood

[frosty pond]

Rip @blazing sorrel same thing happened to me and I ended up deleting my whole island

[scenic blaze]

finally started working on the cranny's break room tonight

[blazing sorrel]

And my boyfriend is right next to me happily doing his island and I’m trying not to tear his head off lol

[woven drift]

did yall see this on twitter? it looks AMAZING , but idk about during the day-

[rapid fog]

@barren karma maybe some ground designs of paws/leaves and a fruit basket?

[barren karma]

ah, i dont have the fruit basket :') but soon.....

[woven drift]

a lil cafe on my beach-

[rapid fog]

lol if u want i can make you one

unless u want the diy then totally understand

[fickle ivy]

if someone isn’t busy can they come to my island and give me some tips or pointers for terraform and moving around buildings?

[zinc hull]

@scenic blaze I love the hyacinth lamps! I might have to get some, they look really nice

[barren karma]

omg... please
id love to have the diy but
just dm me the dodo and materials, i need 2 ^^'

[kindred yarrow]

@woven drift i added some mush lamps!!

[rapid fog]

oh oke ill dm u

[woven drift]

YESS I love it 🙂

Mush lamps make anything forest-y better

[scenic blaze]

@zinc hull they're one of my favorite items in the game, they're keeping me from going crazy without the mush lamps lol. i wish they came in more colors but at least the yellow fits with my color schemes

[pure quest]

should I keep the stores on the beach side?

[woven drift]

yall does anyone have some mush lamps i can buy ? or the diy-

[torn siren]

More like this maybe

[bitter kelp]

So I'm on ... Day 3 I think? Museum just got built. What are some things that all of you with your wonderful layouts would have done in the beginning if you knew then what you know now?

[woven drift]

@bitter kelp put the houses at the beach

[bitter kelp]

... Crap

[zinc hull]

😮 if they had them, different colors would look so cool!

[woven drift]

Don’t move them until you unlock terraforming

[scenic blaze]

there's purple, blue, and yellow but i'm not using a lot of purple or blue ofc

[woven drift]

It’s ok just put the rest at the beach

[gray dock]

Im on day six and my island looks like crap

[tender harbor]

@frosty pond Can I see your mix of terracotta and the stone for the town square?

[pure quest]

can someone help me pick a spot for the stores? i feel like if i keep them on the beach itll give it like a miami vibe

[south wraith]

im so happy

[versed knot]

@pure quest I think putting them beside the airport is a really nice idea if you are thinking of trading and such

[south wraith]

i hated my island and villagers so i resetted and i got hazel and cousteau!

[jolly inlet]

Not so secret path, still on progress 😁

[pure quest]

there located on the bottom right of them

[frosty pond]

@tender harbor I kinda wanted to do an entrance/ townsquare type of thing but ya hold on , it might not be what you're looking for

[zinc hull]

ahh finally all my flowers are out of the way

[versed knot]

@pure quest they are in a great place and try putting stalls and such. Like a market on the beach

[scenic blaze]

@jolly inlet i like what you did with the terraforming! cute

[barren karma]

does this look too hidden or un-natural? i feel like the water pump needs a stone/pebble accent tile but cant find any

[frosty pond]

Just gonna repost this lol you can kinda see what I mean

[pure quest]

i gotta separate them a bit though

[raven loom]

Really wanting to do a harvest moon inspired town and move my villagers houses into “barns” but I feel like it won’t be right unless they’re all farm animals and I don’t want to get rid of my favourites 😔

[queen nexus]

so, it is like, impossible to get a double south river to feel centered? the right side always seems shorter than the left

[versed knot]

@pure quest ya and creating a mini rest area for the shops will be nice I think

[deep spear]

centered to what

[frosty pond]

Now that I think about it it's not really like a town square lol I might change it up @tender harbor

[woven drift]

Progress so far

[jolly inlet]

@scenic blaze Thanks, tbh i still not sure about the entrance lol

[tender harbor]

@frosty pond Can I see it anyway?

[frosty pond]

Ya I posted video

[deep spear]

that looks nice

[queen nexus]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EXDaOAlU4AACBDM?format=jpg&name=large hmm

[frosty pond]

Like I said I might not be understanding what you mean loll

[hardy prism]

Just wondering should I flatten my island and why

[pure quest]

like 4 spaces between or more?

[woven drift]

Don’t flatten ur island

[hardy prism]

@woven drift why

[woven drift]

Everybody wants to do this for some reason but you shouldn’t you’re gonna regret it

[queen nexus]

the right side looks shorter than the left am i crazy?

[agile mantle]

@queen nexus unrelated but nice boar pfp (if you know you know)

[woven drift]

Unless you have an actual straight up plan

[frosty pond]

Ya don't do it @hardy prism that was one of the reasons I I restarted

[hardy prism]

Why should I not

[deep spear]

yeah the right side is shorter

[woven drift]

Ur gonna regret it

But if u wanna do it then ig

[versed knot]

@pure quest 4 is good

[agile mantle]

Bro I debated on flattening my island and I'm so happy I didn't

[frosty pond]

Ya regret

[hardy prism]

Ok I won’t

[raven loom]

@queen nexus I think your little natural grass plank might be throwing you off but the grids are exactly the same apart on both sides!

[woven drift]

Getting rid of ur natural cliffs isn’t a good idea

[hardy prism]

So I should just terraform when I need to

[summer mirage]

As someone who started to flatten everything and soon saw enlightenment, it’s very helpful not to have to build it up again if you end up wanting to use your cliffs

[woven drift]

Your natural cliffs give you more ideas on where to add/remove cliffs

[still bramble]

My map so far, still have a bit of terraforming to do, as well as moving some houses and buildings, opinions as of right now?

[woven drift]

Yeah just shape it first

[hardy prism]

Ty all you guys are so helpful

[deep spear]

i had an ok starting island so i didnt have to flatten it

[woven drift]

Yeah my island wasn’t that bad I mainly had to waterscape

I took out a lot of cliffs but not flattening it guided me

[still bramble]

The left side is going to be a forest with my home near the bottom along with a small pond, going to add higher cliffs around the corners of the rivers, and going to add a campsite area up top left

[pearl scaffold]

I have know idea how where to start in terraforming my island. Any tips?

[agile mantle]

I only flattened the 3rd layer bc I had an idea in mind

[hardy prism]

I already flattened the third level of my island and started the second is that bad

[woven drift]

No that’s not bad

[hardy prism]

Ok ty

[woven drift]

Just as long as you don’t flatten everything

[versed knot]

@pearl scaffold choosing where your villager will live is a great first step

[woven drift]

And u start with a straight up flat island

[agile mantle]

@pearl scaffold what I do is that I work in sections, like for example I did my campsite first and now I'm doing residency areas

[summer mirage]

@pearl scaffold something i would recommend is making a list of everything you might wanna include, like a cafe area, a dance floor, a market area, etc. To help you figure out how to divvy up your space

[manic lantern]

That was a much needed nap

[raven loom]

Does anyone haves any ideas for something that would look like a mine cart / items that would make sense in a mine?

[pearl scaffold]

Ya ty for the advice yall

[woven drift]

gonna have to TT like a sinner

but here's my flattening progress

[cursive wren]

This probably already got posted, but just in case it hasnt, this is really great for planning out small areas! It just got released.

[frosty pond]

The wheel barrel full of dirt maybe ? @raven loom

[gusty shard]

[zinc hull]

@woven drift are you redoing your island?

[woven drift]

yeah atm im wiping everything clean and redesigning it

[frosty pond]

I forgot what the actual item was called but I've seen it ingame

[raven loom]

Ya I know what you mean! That’s a good one ty

[zinc hull]

I’m having to demolish everything and then place new bridges/inclines so I’m currently going broke

[pure quest]

🤦🏽‍♂️ i’m gonna have to make the space in between and let them share it cause there won’t be space on the side

[versed knot]

@pure quest then maybe make it 6 spaces in the middle ? Idk

[karmic wasp]

anyone know a good formation to put the houses across the beach

[sick flame]

Seeing everyone’s islands/setups and I’m just questioning what I call my monstrosity of a island

[kindred yarrow]

@scenic blaze hi! you recommended pink hyacinths and white cosmos, where should i put the flowers?

[manic lantern]

Time to get back to work boys

[kindred yarrow]

or was it by cookie's house?

[scenic blaze]

who's yard is in front? cookie? i was thinking the yard

ya!!

[kindred yarrow]

Beside her house right?

[woven drift]

this needs some flavor. any ideas??

[pure quest]

yea i may make it 6

[kindred yarrow]

how many pink hyacinths should I buy for it? (:

[versed knot]

@karmic wasp have them all in a straight line maybe

[past jetty]

Does Isabelle just say random things as suggestions to improve the island?

[woven drift]

no she actually gives you things that you need to do

No

[frosty pond]

@woven drift first get the flame t shirt , white spikey hair and the sunglasses

[past jetty]

Because she keeps telling me to get more fencing but I should have enough lol

[scenic blaze]

i always just add a couple, they'll multiply soon enough

[past jetty]

BRUH how

[still bramble]

Anyone mind sending me a decent orchard layout?

[scenic blaze]

fencing was a huge struggle for me to get to 5 stars, the requirement is pretty high for people who don't want an urban theme

[frosty pond]

Then your town will have all the flavor

[woven drift]

omg yes thanks

what's the point of the custom design path in island designer

[agile mantle]

does he have the game

doesnt*

[frosty pond]

Lol idk

[scenic blaze]

i picked a fence that looks good in singles (country, stone, now hedge) and scattered some randomly in my less structured areas and that helped me a lot @past jetty

[zinc hull]

Shoot I forgot about needing fences for 5 stars, that’s going to be hard for me

[orchid cedar]

Well I got to plan out my vegetable farms when the update comes out D: more stressing

[woven drift]

isn't the custom design path the same as putting designs down regularly or am i missing something

[runic juniper]

huu

[woven drift]

honestly getting the actual custom design path is just a lot easier

[past jetty]

I use a lot of hedges and stone fencing, as well as country for my campsite area. I feel like I should have enough, upwards of 350+ pieces of fencing I would say but eh

[woven drift]

i love the country fence

@visual robin a little Japanese spa

[raven loom]

Zen garden?

[woven drift]

@woven drift through island designer? or you mean the designs app

island designer

[scenic blaze]

@past jetty excuse the cell pic but you can see what I mean here, a couple random pieces of stone fence as decor instead of fencing. Scattered throughout my designs it built up my fence count a lot

[spring sigil]

Do you guys think the houses are taking too much space?

[woven drift]

i find it to be the opposite
is there a different result with the two apps?

[raven loom]

Sushi restaurant?

[heady matrix]

Any ideas for pier?

[crystal fox]

Wh@orchid cedar what?! Vegetables

[torn siren]

Any cool campsites

[neat gyro]

Rate my home entrance

[orchid cedar]

Yeh it is a near update apparently you can grow vegetables even cook potentially

And seafood is coming out

So I would recommend allocation some space for them haha

[tender harbor]

Any ideas how to make this look better?

[manic lantern]

If I'm going for more of a foresty layout. How many types of flowers would you guys use

[agile mantle]

@torn siren here's my campsite, its an oldish pic but i havent changed much

[manic creek]

Trees or more flowers

[manic lantern]

Because I'm currently using Rose's and lillies

[scenic blaze]

@manic lantern i use all types of flowers in mine. i just stick to a color scheme in each area to keep it from getting overwhelming

[somber sapphire]

how many spaces should i leave between the houses?

[manic lantern]

@scenic blaze okay that's a great note. Thank you

[blazing sinew]

@orchid cedar where did you heard about that update?

[pure quest]

should i put a bridge here to my private island... im kinda on the edge bout this

[scenic blaze]

my favorites for natural foresty designs are cosmos, lilies, and mums (specifically the green mums bc they look like better weeds lol) but all types are def represented

[manic lantern]

Hmm alright I'll give it a shot and keep you guys updated

[spring sigil]

I need help with organizing my houses. This is my current set up. I’m not sure if it’s good and if it’s taking too much space.

[manic lantern]

@scenic blaze are you saving space atm for potential new stores?

[neat gyro]

@spring sigil you could move em closer lol

[barren karma]

does this look weird/out of place? theres also a grid design u can barely see, and the leaves arent quite centered :')

[manic lantern]

@barren karma not at all

[tender harbor]

@spring sigil Personally, I'd move the four on the right to either two more rows on the left, or put them in between

[scenic blaze]

@manic lantern i'm not "saving" space but i have ideas in mind for areas that i can take out if/when new stores are added. i have a section of my shopping area that's basically just trees and i can chop that down and build off of it

[manic lantern]

@scenic blaze okay that's smart. Hopefully they'll include like an island extension

[thin tartan]

@neat gyro eyy we have the same house

[golden bay]

If anyone has a cafe, can I see it?

[neat gyro]

@golden bay

[woeful quiver]

Any ideas of what I should put here

It’s just there....

[golden bay]

@neat gyro thank you

[round nova]

*not mine, but great way to decorate the front of your campsite entrance. You can get this sign from animal crossing pocket camp

[neat gyro]

My layout is alot like yours @spring sigil

[brazen horizon]

the bell is saying i need more fences yall any way i can use them?

[spiral vault]

Question, has anyone tried putting two bridges side by side? I can’t imagine if it will look good or not, has anyone done it?

[somber sapphire]

how many spaces should i leave between houses ideally?

[dim pumice]

Hello all, I really want to try doing this design! All of my houses are on the same level, what would be the best way of like moving houses n stuff so I can spend the least amount of bells rip

[manic lantern]

@brazen horizon mothra said she uses single stone fences around her natural areas to make up the count

[pure quest]

should i connect this bridge to my private island?

[brazen horizon]

ooo like rocksss

[scenic blaze]

ya lemme resend the pic

[barren karma]

does anyone have some house exterior inspo?

[scenic blaze]

@brazen horizon

other fences that look good by themselves are hedge and country

[red elbow]

I need help with a layout, this shit is all over the place, I need a better set up for the houses. someone helpppp lol

[brazen horizon]

aw man, i really like that!

[neat gyro]

@red elbow you could go for mini neighborhoods thats what i did with 8 of my homes and the last 2 i placed at the base of my 2nd floor

[severe parcel]

Here’s my houses

[brazen horizon]

im going for a mini neighborhoods thing!

[swift otter]

it is time.

[dim pumice]

Anyone have suggestions for like moving houses and stuff?

[scenic blaze]

Someone reign me in I’m going overboard with my cranny break room

[red elbow]

@neat gyro that’s smart ima do this

[severe parcel]

Really just depends on how close/far you want your villagers to be next to each other @dim pumice

[agile mantle]

here's my picnic area that is still a wip

[tawny sleet]

Do you guys know if the gulliver items can duplicate or if you only get one of each item?

[barren karma]

possible house fit.....?

[agile mantle]

#game-help-questions❓ my dude @tawny sleet

[brazen horizon]

i want my villagers to interact with each other bc its sooooo cute lmao so some are close to each other

[kindred yarrow]

@scenic blaze added some flowers! I used yellow tulips instead since it matched the color in the garden wagon (:

[neat gyro]

Never liked that roof color ngl

Too greenish

[severe parcel]

Whenever I work on a new area all of my villagers just start spawning there

[scenic blaze]

@kindred yarrow yellow tulips is an awesome idea!! those look really cute together

[kindred yarrow]

any other ideas for that area?

[dim pumice]

Like here is what my houses are like rn, I want to try and do the three layers thing, how should I start moving?

[severe parcel]

Put them on the beach until you decide a layout you like

[dim pumice]

Aha

[severe parcel]

That’s what I did

[neat gyro]

^ Yep or just move any in the way

[dim pumice]

Thank you! That’s hella smart

Yeah just looking for the way to spend the least amount of bells

::// I would choose Kyle

[blazing sorrel]

@lapis blaze Benjamin!!

[scenic blaze]

you have sooo many lazies i'd pick one of them

[zinc hull]

hard decision

[woven drift]

What kind of creature or personality are you looking for

[lapis blaze]

I was thinking a lazy but I love all of them lol

[woven drift]

Same. Lazy is my fav

Pietro is on my campsite rn lmao 😩 idk if I should claim him

[scenic blaze]

i love pietro but he'd stand out like a sore thumb in my natureville lmao

[fluid stirrup]

Trying to set up a forest island. Which trees should I have mostly around my entity area?

[scenic blaze]

cedar

[woven drift]

Idk who I’d kick out tho that’s the thing

[zinc hull]

I would do cedar!

[scenic blaze]

i'd do zucker out of those

[solar swallow]

Is sprinkle normal?

[woven drift]

Def not bc I love zucker

[zinc hull]

Sprinkle is peppy

[woven drift]

Sprinkle is Peppy

[dark pecan]

How did I fix this without taking them both down

[swift otter]

fix what?

[dark pecan]

Make it not look bad

[swift otter]

no i mean specifically

the waterfall or

[urban cipher]

Maybe put shrubs or something in the middle instead and add space for waterfalls on either side?

[dark pecan]

Oh yeah

Ty. I’ll try that

[manic lantern]

Is there a specific spot that you guys are most proud of

[blazing sorrel]

None of my island Rn 😥

[solar swallow]

[kind iris]

[woven drift]

i am beyond pissed

[scenic blaze]

i need one of my villagers to craft a bonsai table or something so i can pimp them out for stone stacks

[mint stone]

Going for a forest/valley kinda vibe, any recommendations for a bridge? Suspension, stone or wood zen?

[scenic blaze]

[woven drift]

i cant put anything on the edges or behind the single line of cliff

[kindred yarrow]

here's like the only finished piece in my island rip

[untold forge]

Can someone help me why doesn’t this bordered pathing act as a border?

[rose marlin]

@tame thunder I'm slowly drifting toward seaside resort town

[kindred yarrow]

I fixed that up tho

added some paths under the table and a border with flowers

[scenic blaze]

ahh your character is so cute

[swift stag]

@woven drift When you’re adding your first cliff, nothing can be on the spaced edge

[fierce mesa]

i don’t think the stone is meant to go over a path

[scenic blaze]

i'm partial to the braids too

[woven drift]

I wanna go to mothra’s island now too

[kindred yarrow]

lemme see urs denise uwu

[tame thunder]

like i wanna make her house just beyond the west river mouth

[floral topaz]

looking for someone who is good at landscaping flowers and shrubs pls dm me pics of ur own island so i can see what ur into so ik if we would be a good fit im willing to pay

[woven drift]

i’m trying to make waterfalls but they’re gonna be too close to the building

[fierce mesa]

also can u send me the creator code for that pattern please LOL @untold forge

[untold forge]

@fierce mesa ??

[woven drift]

Ok I can open my island after I do some trades hehe. My residential area isn’t done yet tho

[fierce mesa]

oh shoot i misunderstood

[kindred yarrow]

Okie

[fierce mesa]

wait is the border transparent?

[scenic blaze]

Half of my island is cute and the rest literally looks like this

[manic lantern]

This is my mini map 😂

[untold forge]

I’ll dm u Sam

[fierce mesa]

ok

[tame thunder]

that seed looks similar to mine but my town hall is more to the right

[mint stone]

Any ideas for which bridge type I should use? Leaning toward suspension, stone or brown zen, forest valley style island

[scenic blaze]

@tame thunder same. you and i might have a very similar map lol

[mint stone]

How's the island coming moth :p

[manic lantern]

Should I trade marina for audie

[woven drift]

NO

[manic lantern]

Okay then haha

[scenic blaze]

@mint stone it likes me more tonight than it has all week so that's something

[woven drift]

Marina is my fav tho so I might be biased haha

[tame thunder]

this was my original starting map (sry for the quality, it was from a google image that was small anyways lol), also the grass beach thing was a bit more upward

[mint stone]

wew nice

[tame thunder]

beyond the river even

[scenic blaze]

my starting map is pretty similar but not exact

[tame thunder]

ahh ok, yeah those were my placements for the pier, grass beach, secret beach, and around the same for my mouths too

[short flare]

hi hi. i just unlocked terraforming and its super overwhelming.. tips?

[tame thunder]

maybe try to section your island to parts where you wanna put your residents' houses or shops?

[vivid nacelle]

I think I want this island to have a more defined central space or a better path/bridge layout
Any ideas?

[rose marlin]

One section at a time unless you've drawn up a whole island plan

[short flare]

should i place each building on the sand?

[frozen axle]

Smash cliffs til it looks like something you like

[short flare]

i keep seeing people completely clear their island and move all buildings then put them back

[frozen axle]

Cant mess up so badly that its irreversible after all, so might as well experiment a bit

[mint stone]

@short flare I spent ages trying to use map sites and even drawing to try and map something out. In the end the best thing I did was find an island style I like and start to carve it out, safe to say my island is nothing like the idea I was aiming for because i kept changing further to what I'd like

basically just start something and eventually you'll see a bigger picture

[scenic blaze]

if i had flattened my map when i got terraforming.... whew

[short flare]

ah, thats smart

[scenic blaze]

i probably would have quit the game

[short flare]

yeah thats what i was thinking. it sounds like way toooo much

[grand current]

I flattened my entire map. Was fun.

[short flare]

was it worth tho?

[woven drift]

@short flare yes move them to the sand but don’t destroy all cliffs

[manic lantern]

does anyone provide weeding service ill give you a mush lamp xD

[grand current]

I've got probably around 24 hours of terraforming in at the very least lol

[mint stone]

Just chip away at it Angie, otherwise you'll end up spending a couple weeks just to get exactly what you want lol

[woven drift]

@manic lantern me again

[short flare]

true lmaoo

[torn siren]

@manic lantern
I do weeding

[zinc hull]

does anyone have any pictures of their house? I’m not sure if I want to put a waterfall near it or something

[short flare]

everyones islands are so nice.. i feel insecure about mine ;

[manic lantern]

do you work for weedco xD

[torn siren]

No

[manic lantern]

okay ill let you know when im ready

[torn siren]

Ok

[rose marlin]

@short flare Patience

That's the secret

[sacred aspen]

if i flatten my whole island to start fresh should i also fill in the rivers/ponds and also demolish all the bridges/inclines ive made

[still bramble]

Could someone send me a decent orchard layout?

[lusty lava]

Any advice?

[vivid nacelle]

Ooh I’ll do weeding! I’m trying to get the achievement where you’ve sold a lot of weeds

[scenic blaze]

@zinc hull my house wasn't the focus of this picture (clearly lol) but you can see that i have waterfalls on mine

people complain that they're loud but i love them

[grand current]

Slowly working on the entrance area. Making ten accounts so I can have more buildings, each with a different purpose. Working on the nightclub right now.

[short flare]

how are you guys making the waterfalls seem natural tho? ;;

[somber sapphire]

how many spaces should i leave between houses?

[zinc hull]

yeah, I don’t really mind the sound.

[still bramble]

@grand current you can only have 4 player homes

[grand current]

only 4? awwwwwwwww

[scenic blaze]

you can have 8 i thought

[worldly notch]

I put mine at the base of a waterfall

[pulsar zodiac]

They are insanely loud

[short flare]

thats so pretty :o ^

[woven drift]

Villagers? You can have 10.

[scenic blaze]

players

[hushed anvil]

Hello guys

[sacred aspen]

if i flatten my whole island to start fresh should i also fill in the rivers/ponds and also demolish all the bridges/inclines ive made

[pulsar zodiac]

Though it doesn't help I can't change the volume on my switch, and it's already maxed out

[still bramble]

@woven drift 10 villagers, 4 player homes.

[hushed anvil]

Hello friends

[blazing sorrel]

Helppppppp! I’ve been staring at this for the last hour and haven’t done anything. I am sooo stuck and so disheartened 😦 Idk what to do! Or where to start! 😦

[rose marlin]

@sacred aspen you'll be rebuying them is all. Can try and leave them and use them as starters before going all in

[frozen axle]

Whrn in doubt add more water

Water always looks nice

[sacred aspen]

@rose marlin okay thank you

[short flare]

also, how wide do you guys have your paths? by 3 or by 2

[pulsar zodiac]

Water, bushes and flowers. The holy trinity

[short flare]

holy heck that looks so pretty

[frozen axle]

3 if you want buidlings to line up

[worldly notch]

South south islands are hard

[still bramble]

@frozen axle that’s insane, could you record a tour?

[frozen axle]

2 if you want bridges and inclines to line up

[sacred aspen]

@frozen axle that looks so nice!!!

[short flare]

thats so annoying ;

[pure quest]

i decided to make a bridge to my private island but ima close it with like a fencing or will that work? to keep the villagers off it

[dapper jay]

does anyone have the dimensions for the museum?? 🥺

[frozen axle]

Its pretty empty atm except for the shrine

7x4 @dapper jay

[short flare]

also, how far should i space each house / shop?

[still bramble]

@dapper jay they’re in pins

[rose marlin]

Most of my paths are 4 wide in the city and two wide outside of it

[dapper jay]

@frozen axle thanks!

[woven drift]

@frozen axle Breath of the Wild vibes

[frozen axle]

Need so much more stone for more arches

[fluid stirrup]

Trying to find a way to better set up everything while still making a sort of natural forest style.
Got a lot to do

[vivid nacelle]

Yo @fluid stirrup we have almost identical river & airport & resident services & secret beach placement

I think we have the exact same starter map

[lusty lava]

This is how I've arranged my house plus 5 of my villagers, giving them each personalized fences

[fluid stirrup]

Oh, that's really weird.

[scenic blaze]

i found someone with my exact same starter map last night and it was mindblowing

[woven drift]

idr but were we able to choose where our resident services was built ?

[vivid nacelle]

Nope

[scenic blaze]

@lusty lava looks good so far! what other decor are you thinking for the yards?

[pulsar zodiac]

I want to put a bridge down but a house is blocking it
I have to move that house then build the bridge and then move the house back
uuuugh

[rose marlin]

@woven drift No. It was preplaced on the starter maps

[woven drift]

oh

[lusty lava]

@scenic blaze idk probably just some stuff that seems to match the animal or their personality. I'm having trouble with the bottom portion of my island and how to arrange my other villagers/buildings

[short flare]

how do you guys get inspiration for what you wanna do?

[hushed stream]

any ideas on how to make the island look more natural

[short flare]

ive seen so many cafes/parks i dont wanna do the mainstream :(

[rose marlin]

@short flare What do you wanna do then?

[short flare]

exactly D:

[carmine steeple]

@short flare you just have to start experimenting.

[scenic blaze]

@short flare lurk in here more, a lot of people in this community are really creative

[lethal thunder]

i have a little playground area! if you wanna come over and look around! still a work in progress :/

[woven drift]

Hell. No.

[vivid nacelle]

@short flare I saved pictures of other people’s maps that have things that I like and took elements from those
I liked someone’s neighborhood, and a different friends river, etc

[rose marlin]

I have parks, outdoor gym, residential suburb

[short flare]

ah thats smart

also that wasnt hate on cafes/parks lmao <3

[scenic blaze]

@woven drift who're you aiming to leave?

[rose marlin]

Plus an add on outdoor museum area

[woven drift]

@short flare do you want a specific theme or just themed areas

@scenic blaze honestly idk ): I wanted to see who he would say to pick for me but I can’t do Lily

[short flare]

i think themed areas? its super cute when others have sections that seem different everywhere you go

[woven drift]

But I tt to the next day so pietro is booted

[scenic blaze]

oof

my last campsite visitor i kept rerolling to make it pick hippeaux

[frozen axle]

Surround faunas house with industrial waste

[rose marlin]

I'll eventually have various statues here, fake or real, who knows. Rosetta Stone is fake of course

[woven drift]

lmao

@short flare yeah that’s what I have to! I have some zen areas, a park, outdoor beach nightclub, a tiki bar, and a little “Italian” restaurant

[short flare]

that sounds super cute :O

[woven drift]

@scenic blaze does it actually change who they pick?

[swift stag]

@woven drift HAHAHAHA what a clown

[woven drift]

@short flare I can send some pics!!

[deep spear]

the rosetta stone is worth more than the real one

[errant tartan]

What flowers seem the most tropical to put near the beaches?

[woven drift]

cosmos i think

[rose marlin]

@woven drift I'm hoping to make a basement speakeasy lol

[short flare]

@woven drift please do lmao

[woven drift]

@swift stag I wish we could have more than 10 villagers omg I don’t wanna kick anybody out anymore at this point maybe unless Raymond is the one replacing someone

[vast cradle]

So Im redoing my entrance for the millionth time lol and I think I like how the cliffs are so far but idk what to do about how you can see past the left side

[scenic blaze]

@woven drift yeah, you have to force quit as soon as they say the name if it's someone you don't want, and they'll pick a random one next time

[grand current]

Windflowers I'd say @errant tartan

[scenic blaze]

@errant tartan lilies fo sho

[frozen axle]

Make the cliffs wider

[olive crag]

[scenic blaze]

hyacinth lamp customized yellow

[woven drift]

[iron hare]

[errant tartan]

Thanks!

[woven drift]

@errant tartan pink cosmos look tropical aswell

[bitter inlet]

I’m at 435 hours ;-;

[woven drift]

@short flare

[vast cradle]

would it look weird to have the cliffs go too far so they are right next to the beach on the front side of the island??

[woven drift]

In the process of making a guest orchard

[abstract sun]

I’m would like to hire someone to get rid of all the flowers on my island! Will give NMTs!!

[swift stag]

@vast cradle Amazing!

[woven drift]

Debating on what to use for corner lights

[short flare]

[scenic blaze]

@vast cradle i do that in parts of mine and it looks good

[keen sky]

I need help uh which island layout should I choose? I’m trying this time to have a neat island.

[woven drift]
