hey! has anyone decorated the space where redd comes in? i need some inspo since it’s such a small space
Lmao I flattened and now I'm just procrastinating on doing anything at all
I’d say keep the river for the most part maybe edit it a little bit it’s hard to get the natural curve back when you get rid of it
I mean like most of my island is flat rn aside from the back cliffs which have been terraformed to shit like a double waterfall and double bridges and like omg so much terraforming
These ares are from my natural island look. If it were all flat I guarantee you it wouldn't look nowhere near as it does right now
Oh I mean I wouldn’t get rid of the river I do have but it’s been disrupted from its natural state heavily already
@molten gust you got a map?
Holy crap the gold roses
I saw that @woven drift
Holy crow
LOL I wonder how you get cold roses
cold roses
hey! has anyone decorated the space where redd comes in? i need some inspo since it’s such a small space
@left wigeon I've seen a lot of people making it a little smugglers hideout, Barrels and cardboard boxes etc
A lot of golden cans lol
holy crow
SOS
Maybe in winter they get cold and need a sweater
gold can and black roses
Grow them in winter > LOL I wonder how you get cold roses
@tawny sleet
How did I mispell 3 words wow
how do i make a “neighborhood” layout
One of the houses used to be on that little cliff with the teeny fall on the left and that leftmost river I was getting rid of
i cant even get one hill even
You guys need to come back to my island when I’m done and lmk what to fix @tawny sleet @long wasp
lol I could relate
It used to flow from the left cliff but it was way too much water
wow TFTI Denise haha
I'm thinking of way downsizing my orchard and maybe just putting the fruit trees around a pond kinda situation instead of an actual orchard. Any suggestions/ideas for that anyone?
@manic lantern I told you to come today and you never did smh
I’d happily come back @woven drift your island is adorbs so far
oh yeah my bad I was eating haha
🥺🥺🥺 ty malice
Anyone keen to check out mine?
@molten gust so ur struggling with the housing area?
I'm gonna go do some work and leave my gates open. If anyone wanted to have a look around?
I’d love feedback
my "orchard" is just trees of the same type scattered around in different general areas of the island lol
@woven drift sure I’ll come just lmk
I’m struggling with everything
i did a little work! thanks for all the suggestions
honestly i lurk here for ideas and now i have a cohesive plan for my island because of it
it won’t playuuu
I don’t know where to even start bc my boyfriend did a bunch then stopped playing and I realized I couldn’t work with his terraform
this sounds rly stupid but i've been big unsatisfied with my island lately and ive been considering terraforming the entire thing into ocean and rebuilding from there on miniature islands? y/n have i completely gone insane or would that actually be unique
@versed wadi I’m coming - I’ll have boxes prepared
Should I put a crescent moon chair on both sides next to the stairs
@molten gust well I think the map looks nice so far honestly, but I don’t know what it looks like on the ground floor ya know? Are you going for a theme at all?
I can’t place outdoor stuff because I just... like it’s not my creation so I can’t go with it
@manic lantern deal gimme a sec
no dont post it on both sides lol
my "orchard" is just trees of the same type scattered around in different general areas of the island lol
@turbid sparrow I thought of doing that too and tbh I'm just trying to think of alternate ways to have my fruit trees cuz my current orchard is literally 1/6 of my island lol
id say use nova lights
I just have a few of each fruit tree, like 4-5 of each cuz otherwise yeah they take over your island @spiral merlin
Guys can I get some opinions on my entrance please 😊
does anybody have an entrance that isn’t a waterfall
Uh it looks weird but I’ll tt to let the cedar trees grow and at night
@hoary rain I like that idea actually like Venice lol
Can someone help me with housing areas?
@turbid dagger meee
@turbid dagger Mine isn't cuz my town plaza is like 6 blocks away from my airport
@manic lantern @woven drift come to @versed wadi after
@hoary rain sounds like a lot of work but it could turn out amazing
ooo! i think i'll get started tomorrow then...
Ok @swift stag dm dodo
I'm making park right now, thinking about making playground zone near pond
@turbid dagger
Yo party at gibbons? Can I come
I need wooden shop signs, any ideas?
@woven drift go to bed lol
@long wasp omg please show me @turbid sparrow I’m in the same boat, my plaza is right out the airport and I stumped on ideas lol
@manic lantern I’ll open rn I’ll dm you
@icy oar kinda looks like two different themes clashing (stone stuff and shell stuff) otherwise I like the terraforming
@slow dagger she can’t, not yet
i really desperately wanted to make a rural mountain village like in the gamecube version but that just doesn't feel right at all in this game
Oh? O.O
wtf that’s beautiful
@hoary rain wym that sounds nice!!
ah shoot my phone just died can't take pic
Are the wooden signs diy?
@molten gust random theme generator? Lol idk if that exists
@tawny sleet i tried rly hard but either im bad at design or it just doesn't work in a tropical setting :/
@hoary rain i think the problem is that u cant terraform sand
hm...maybe im just big dumb then
You just need to cliff off the beach and have it only accessible by incline
im doing a multi story mountain housing as well
oh true... i didn't think about that! because otherwise it just feels like a beach town
God I need island entrance inspiration pics so badly lmaoo. jesus take the wheel.
If you work from the second level it’s easier
I'll have to just describe it, I have godzilla on one side and a giant teddy bear on the other with some tall garden rocks to make it look dramatic @turbid dagger
my museum's entrance so far.
@woven drift inlove! I’m considering moving mine to ground level now... I’ve wasted 2 inclines for the entrance
@turbid sparrow oh word that sounds pretty awesome actually?? I was thinking about having both Godzilla’s on the sides of the entrance but shot that down as it doesn’t fit my theme at all lmfao 💀
mine doesn't fit the rest of my island at all either but I didn't know what else to put at the entrance haha
Any gardens I can see?
@turbid dagger u must put all the godzillas the entrance must be a kaiju battle!
Hello do anyone know how to align the villagers house when moving them?
I need garden ideas
@shadow flare I mean shoot I gotta now 😫
If you have terraforming putting down paths can help you line them up
@coral viper with holes maybe
@coral viper Path ways
My entrance is suppose to be akin to the hanging gardens of Babylon but I can't show it yet lmao
Will this align?
I’m getting 95 NMT from mushroom lamps... I’m— wow people love this shit lmao
Anyone ever knew they're setup is fire but they're afraid someone else might say it's shit?
@turbid dagger ive been seeing those hidden beach perspective ideas and wanna do like a kaiju scene there, with like doghouses and servers
@slow dagger Yes
Just wait till next month when SH is in winter
I had someone tour my island and they said they liked it but my brain was pretty sure they hated it anyways
Me
Lol
i feel that
Biiiig mood
ok tbh suckers colors fit the cottage core theme but then he’d have his own harem of cute cottagecore villagers
@shadow flare PLEASE that would actually be amazing
now i gotta buy godzilla but i NEED servers asap now
zucker*
Are we still going to mcgibbon lol
I fully support
Yes @manic lantern I’m just collecting a few things for him then I’m comjng
My museum area so far
Wait where we going
okay im going to visit Denise real quick. see what she's been working on
Ok I’ll send dodo
@swift stag yo can I come too I’ve never seen his island
Plus I wanna b a part of the in group
Star rating is not a good measure to go by clearly lollll
Isabelle doesn't care about stuff being artistic, she just likes lots of stuff lol
@versed wadi I’ve started a party at yours @tawny sleet comjng too
^^^
yeah she dont even step outside haha
@tawny sleet ima make a gc accept my friend request lol @swift stag
Rip me
you can literally just randomly toss random furniture all over the island and she'll be like "It's BEAUTIFUL"
Oh she’s still being sassy and saying I lack appealing scenery lmao
i hate isabelle for not letting me plant weeds until im drowning in them
weeds > flowers
Lmao
Today I temporarily lost my 5 stars cuz I had too many spare DIY recipes sitting on my beach
@versed wadi I’ve started a party at yours @tawny sleet comjng too
@swift stag lol. gutted, I'm supposed to be working. I'll be AFK mostly
she values variety over quantity and you should also space it out
Feel free to shop etc, There's a load of good stuff in Sables today!
Sickkk
i just thought of how to make my medium-ish front beach be interesting
Dressing extra cute for you all
Ok now I gotta look extra ugly
I ain’t changing my character is already cute
Let’s all dress in PJ’s
if roald isn't one of those jocks i'm judging you.
@woven drift can I join too lol
Yes lemme add you
I currently have 0 jocks cuz the 3 villagers I want to move won't hurry up and move to make room
My only jock is Ribbot
@indigo flint i want him he is the last jock i want i already have rudy, they were best buds in my NL town
This is my path to reds boat 😳
Roald / Bam are my favorites tbh. And aha, good luck! He's so adorable.
Roald is best boi.
@woven drift didn't you say you needed mums?
I can’t deal with jocks but I need at least one for a while to get all the reactions 😐
My 5 star island
@slow dagger yes what color do ya have :3
watercrafting sucks
I might eventually replace my Roald for Genji, really want that bun but I hardly have spacee.
its so annoying omggg
@woven drift which color was it you needed?
@slow dagger I already got the white, red, and yellow so I was looking into hybrid next :3
im losing my mind trying to create a simple waterfall behind my museam bc i put a cliff on top and it wont let me
very frustrating
Oh ard nvm lol Leif was selling exactly those colors
Waiting for the party to start lol
We coming!!!! @versed wadi just buying wrapping paper for a little gift for you right now
Omg 🥺
It’s one of his villagers birthday now
poppy is a cutie
I’ve decided hahahahaa
Could someone send a pic of their flower garden pls? Need ideas
Let’s all group up and take tours of everyone’s island lol
Heading to airport right now
I wants a party 😭
@swift stag send dodo to the group
Sent
Whose birthday is it
Dress code: Pyjamas
getting dressed for a party you're not attending
i wish it was easier to plan islands... especially with certain themes in mind. i've been struggling greatly at planning out a classic-ac-esque mountain village, would anyone be willing to help me plot one out tomorrow or sometime soon?
Finally haha
OMG, how many people are coming? lol.
Work in progress :0
It's on the flight screen everytime I look over
@versed wadi HAHAHAHABA OOOPS
Would getting rid of all rivers and cliffs be a horrible mistake
does anyone have a good inspo for Ocean themed Island? using Shell Furnitures ?
yes @low tiger
Why
unless you have a ridiculous amount of dedication, it's going to be difficult making cliffs and especially rivers natural looking
What if they don’t need to look natural
Looking for a new welcome mat that better matches my path! Anyone got any cute welcome mats they want to share? 😆
if you don't care about how your island looks then I guess it doesn't matter
But tbh if you wan to terraform starting from a blank slate was what i did - but obv it takes a lot of time @low tiger
Well I already did it so there’s no going back now
I took out one curve of my double south river. And then getting something decent back was like 4hrs work
I added a house above static's to give a mountain neighborhood feel.
but, should I maybe change the stone fencing?
and should anything be added/changed?
That was an amazing tour thanks guys
Love that path
I can give you the code!
guys i have this blob of land up behind my museum and under a river, i'm so stuck i don't know what to put here 😖 it's about the same to the right of me as well
will I be able to go beneath that if I have the Nook’s Cranny update?
I time skip a lot so I think I can manage
Zen Area? Picnic area? @prisma kayak
guys i have this blob of land up behind my museum and under a river, i'm so stuck i don't know what to put here 😖 it's about the same to the right of me as well
@prisma kayak Trees, flowers and weeds. Will make screenshots of your museum look 🔥
it do be dark tho-
yes more trees is always good 😤 and a picnic area does sound nice, i might make the right side a telescope viewing spot thing but idk
👀 that's a sweet rec spot
I need some inspo for my residential area
@swift stag , thank you so much. It's subtle but a few mushrooms scattered around the forrest makes me so much happier with it.
anyone have any tips for an overgrown/mossy look?
I wonder if I can keep much of the weeds around without it costing me too much rating
anyone have any tips for an overgrown/mossy look?
@runic cloud You definitely can!
@versed wadi your pic up there already hits quite a few nails there
Garden inspiration please?
I have the well, but not in that color. Mine's red and more pristine looking
Im off to bed
any chance I can change the color or will I have to be lucky with a different variant?
Have a good night guys
nn senpai
Good luck terraforming and what not
Anyone able to suggest something to put in this small spot? It’s on a hidden pathway to a garden.
@ivory schooner Picnic area?
Thanks @worn heath but I already have one on my map elsewhere
@ivory schooner a white upright piano piano!
@tight osprey
That’s thinking outside the box! Can you place pot plants on the top?
I hope Nintendo puts in an update for somehow letting custom paths have sfx cuz honestly that's one of the biggest reasons why I haven't gotten any custom paths
Oh I haven't tried placing things on the top though 😅
I guess other reason is just cuz I'm lazy lol
Oh I haven't tried placing things on the top though 😅
@tight osprey
Thanks I will ask around, although I like the idea 🙂
@spiral merlin same, i love the little clip clop sounds too much and also bc ~immersion
idk if I wanna keep my island white flowers only, they're the only flowers I like the look of but I've got so many coloured flowers and kinda feel like unaccomplished if I don't have at least one of every flower on my island ://
Entrance to my museum :D Idk if I should move the museum a block backwards though, should I???
Do I have to keep the mouth of my river open?
you can't get rid of it completely (like put sand and make it like the beach) but you can close it off
Mmmm alright
@runic cloud weeds that you manually plant are not knocking your rating down, they're considered plants
Any ideas on what to put in this empty space?
Any suggestions for my campsite?
I have the well, but not in that color. Mine's red and more pristine looking
@runic cloud You can customise it 🙂
@marble otter Maybe a park or a garden?
@drifting vapor Thank you, ill try do a park
I missed your island party @versed wadi aaa
Hey, anyone got some ideas for a small island idea ? The grass around the sand is ruining it all :'(
Some tricks to do something with it, or should I just give up the idea? 😦
and yes!!! idk why everyone raves over Raymond and marshal
my personal favourite is bob
I didn't have much to do with it. lol
I am lost on what to do with my island 😭 can anyone give me pointers
A bit too clean for my preference, but you could try setting up cafes/shops/parks/etc in quadrants @slate grail
Or strip malls to the sides/next to the beaches
@slate grail maybe catalog some things and make a gym or something like that! I have a market so that might be a cool idea
@cerulean nimbus maybe add some weeds, decoy duck or floor lights.
Any ideas for my campsite?
Are you going for a woodland type campsite?
any ideas on how to make my entrance area not look uhhhh bad
its terrible image and yeah
if so then clutter and log furniture is your friend 😄
Thats the thing, I dont think i have the best recipes for it
@topaz stream This is my one - needs an upgrade though
IM JELOUS AHHHHHHHHHH
That's it with it just a bit better
WTF YALL HOW your campsites look GORGEOUS
Ik it looks awful
@versed wadi could I use that Idea with the incline to go down into another area?
Wait, I didn’t see that area!
@swift stag I need to sort out my signposts, There's a bridge to the right side of my house that the camera hides by default.
guys to make your paths look not as plain, try putting some tree, flowers, or lamps around it, just a small tip
I would love to visit someones island on here!
@swift stag, if you missed that, that's where ALL my stuff is, lol:
Lucky's Graveyard
Erik's Lodge
Dobie's Retreat
Molly's Waterways
Campsite
@woven drift wow!
Not my idea🥺🥺
@versed wadi I’ll come by and visit again soon, I thought I covered everything ☹️
It still looks amazing!
Thank you!!
leif is over so should i get some flowers from her?
Its a he
its LOL
awk
Thats embarrassing
Mini japanese area 🍱🍣👘
@magic fern Thats really cool!
Thanks 🥰
I wish I could visit!
Some Areas of my town I‘d like to share with you guys!
Seaside cat cafe 🐱🌴
how do people do stuff like that
I’m gonna do a video stream of my island tomorrow and hopefully do other people’s islands in the next few days, not sure if anybody will be interested 😌
@faint path Beautiful work 😍
i need some suggestions and what i should build within the red areas as i plan on redoing it
green area is stuff im already happy with (top side right is bamboo moutains + hot springs)
My wedding area. 😅
Trying to make a city with roads and pavements. Anyone got an idea for an entrance? Want an afk bench as well
@drowsy dagger 😍😍
@swift stag ty!
Anyone got any ideas
anyone got any park or island entrance ideas?
Finaly finished my god damn fairy garden!
Hiya! Would love to get some tips/pointers on how to use my empty islands space and how to better use the spaces. Just started terraforming and would love to use it more.
@coral blade can you post some pics on here? Would love to see that
@coral blade please post and share qrs xd I am on way of doing fairy forest with meteor spotting spot.
@cobalt vector yes Same
Does anyone have some nice asian styled zen gardens?
Search in:island-layouts has:image zen @grim imp
@coral blade that looks awesome
Thanks!!
@coral blade it’s awesome , I love that!
@coral blade that looks unreal!
Anyone know any subtle floral path to add texture to the grass?
@brazen lagoon #custom-design-help🎨
Guys your all gonna make me blush!
@coral blade hi other fern
Hello there either fern.. what manner of fern might you be!
ufhduh im currently knocking down my whole island im so tired of it already but i've only done 2 cliff lines lmaoooo rip
Riiip
fern those pics are giving me so much motivation thank u theyre so good omg
Could I please visit people rn for inspiration
Anyone have any ideas for a small cafe, I have a good area in front of my museum :3
If ppl are interested you can dm me and I’ll let you on my island for some inspo. My island is very cottage / foresty inspired (Some areas are still a work in progress tho)
Can anyone please tell me the cool tokyo like alleyway creators twitter?
how come other people have so much space, meanwhile i'm sitting here trying to cram my museum and campsite somewhere on my island
@jay maybe try cutting trees
Nice work ! I like your cake stand and pathways. Cool view of the horizon
Kinda want to make it a pretty kinda big cafe :3 I have a pretty big space
Oh then maybe some board walk make it a Starbucks.. pannels to simulate walls
Right now I have a fossil selling stand
The museum when you walk in is on the right and behind the two shops
Anyone can share how to get the wedding items?
Don’t know any other good place or like inspiration for my shops to do
I have an ice-cream/ sweets stand by the ocean but my town is very.. cottage or fairytail?
The most modern area is probably the little "hidden" carnivela
I made a small orchard of all the fruit trees along on at the end of a path past my diner
Does anyone have garden entrance ideas for someone who has a resident servicea super close to the airport but not quite centered with it? My island is going to be very natural/fairytale/cottage witchy if that helps. I'm so stuck on what to do and everyone here always has such amazing ideas. 😍

@runic cloud You can customise it 🙂
@versed wadi Oh damn! you're right. I thought that was only for things I could build
my 4 ★ island
Sparkles house, Which chairs and table would look better?
@brazen lagoon how did u place that hat down without the display head?
That's my head
working on a wild flower orchard sorta bit, any ideas on furniture/diys that would match the area?
@brazen lagoon i mean the one on the table
That's mom's homemade cake
@B
Sparkles house, Which chairs and table would look better?
@brazen lagoon the green or white iron ones 🙂
I thought it was a hat as well lmaooo
Oh ok.. i tuought it was a hat designed to look cakey
@woven drift I LOVE the last one
Do someone have a red carpet qr code?:/
Does anyone an entrance where it isnt like centred cuz i need some ideas
any idea on what I could add behind the houses?
Maybe a barbecue
get the plain screen panels and make it look like cars with custom designs
Delinquents
ooo
or flowers
@woven drift benches, fountains, bicyles,...
waterfall
Need like 450 stones to make like 5 more of these stupid arches
What genius decided these should be 90 stone each
@frozen axle are you making the black garden from Destiny?
It's the final boss from the first Destiny campaign. Your post is giving me serious vibes for this.
Why are some bushes not growing?
Why are some bushes not growing?
@raven kindle They're seasonal. They only flower certain times of the year
@raven kindle not in season, they flower at different times
anyone got an urban city with roads i can visit
Hey guys so I wanted to know, what tier river do I need for fish spawns? Cause I wanna remove my third tier area but i dont wanna not be able to catch fish
Can some one give me a list of code for the path way
Up one level is fine for fish spawns
I hate my map and I don’t know why. I want to keep the valley but at the same time I want the open space
Hey can someone explain to me how the fish tournament is working
Working on my house pyramid, like it?
if i want to redo my island is it worth removing everything and flattening it and stuff?
House pyramid
First part of my farm… Wind Farm! Pipwyn now has power!
your layouts are dope ^^
@versed wadi i fw that heavily that looks good
i have a 'solar farm'
its literally just 4 panels outside my house
looks cool though
I wish you could point the solars at an angle
your best bet is just to leave them facing forward
how do I make my campsite look nice and naturey?
daaaaaaamn
how do I make my campsite look nice and naturey?
@plain hazel Clutter!
i need to do definately not steal your idea
i want to try have only money trees on my island tree wise, unless i need a fruit or cedar one to match the aesetic
@plain hazel here's my woodland campsite 🙂 https://twitter.com/pipwyn/status/1256579044197445633?s=20
ughHhHhh my island looks like 💩 any tips on how to make it look nicer
I’ll have a look
hey all what's that website people use to design their layout? the one with all the grids
@quartz cobalt https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
thank you!
they hate him for he spoke the truth
i need to plan real quick
im struggling to find how to make an urban city because u dont see alot of them so its hard to get ideas
look for those street path designs
and use loads of utility poles and lamps and stuff
the ones with roads and crossings and pavements? yeahh have been
but its just hard to now plan what i actually want on the island
cause my last city did not look ANYTHING like a city
@raven kindle the shrubs are seasonal so some will boom in different Months
What my old "city" looked like. Hated it cause didnt look like a city so yh I cleared everything yp
and now time to restart
hi! which flower color pairings might go well in an area with a Gold Phone Box and Silver Park Clock? https://nookazon.com/products?search=phone box
yellows, orannges? =p
I could use some advice, I'm frustrated with my island layout. My residential services is so close to my airport and off-center, so I've been experimenting in a 3D island planner with setting my museum across from it to make it look more symmetrical, but that would leave a space between the back of the museum and the river that would be hard to work with. (The empty looking space at D2 is where my orchard is, considering moving it and downsizing it)
Does anyone have any purple Hyacinths they want rid of, I want to make a 'lavander' field.

@frank spade make a more open - park like entrance?
Or close it off with cliffs to hide the RS
do fake statues bring down your rating? I have a statue I wanna put up but it's a fake one one of my villagers gave me
wouldn't it be so cool if we could reposition how buildings are laid down
just wish i could move my RS
You can't move residential services >_>
i wish we could move the airport atleast
tbh, unless you've made the orchard incredibly nice and are attatched to it, I'd move it or downsize it
I've done that to my orchard twice now and both times I'm incredibly happy for the space
I'm still not sure what to do with the space behind the museum though, if I moved the museum about where my house is now. the area behind it would be hard to see and get to. I could redo the river so that it runs behind the museum instead, but now I've mde this weird space on the north side of that river that I don't know what to do with...
or you just keep the fruit trees and use them as corners to hedgerows and fences since trees can be put as close as you like to fences
maybe I could put some cliffs behind the museum and do some fancy waterfall stuff, but that would make the river behind it difficult to fish in
Move the museum back? and build a big fossil park in front?
That might work... My goal in moving the museum is to make it symmetrical with residential services
Did anyone else get this layout? If so show me what you did to it pleaseeeee 😲
trying to make like an Italian style restaurant sorta area, going to use the tables with cloth on them, which chairs would match ?
The way I have my museum now, if I just bumped it over to where my house is, the museum plaza is the same size as residential services plaza. It'sj ust my rivers that are being a PITA
What does clifftop mean? I wanna terraform my upper tier area but i dont wanna mess up fish spawns
Anyone ahs any cat shaped pond designs?
@cedar lodge would this work?
@steady hinge the cliff fish spawn on level 2 and level 3 cliffs
@scenic blaze so I can completely remove my level 3 cliff and still get the spawn?
oh wow so I dont actually need a tier 3 pond?
@steady hinge yep!
@scenic blaze yaaaay time to scrap my level 3 area and make a flower garden
@quartz cobalt afaik there are no cliff pond fish, just river fish
yeah pond fish spawn in any pond regardless of elevation
What classifies as a river?
@frank spade Thanks, not quite but gave me a general idea what i want to do
@cedar lodge ?
gonna take a while to make my "perfect" town but ill sure as hell try
What classifies as a river?
@steady hinge If the water is flowing. Watch the water's shiny bits, especially at edges/corners, to see if it's flowing in a direction.
@steady hinge I think if it’s connected to a waterfall or connected to a river mouth it causes flowing water, which is the classification for river
I've accidentally turned ponds into short stumpy rivers by making them too oblong, it seems to be determined somewhat by the width and length of it
Interesting! That hasn’t come up on my island yet
if you saw the picture of my map earlier, it was the pond in B-6 that had been giving me trouble. I eventually got it to behave by fiddling with the edges of it
I have a lot of itsy bitsy waterfalls that seem to be classified as rivers but are too small to spawn fish lol
I just mass planted 60 white Hyacinth. I'm going to regret this in 45 mins when I decide I don't like it 😬
has anyone made yards for their villagers? if so how big did you make it. I am in the process of relocating all of them to a central hub area, and i was thinking of giving them a 3 wide garden on both sides of their house, is that too big?
@frank spade
@cedar lodge ooh didn't think about eyes
Any suggestions for this area? It’s towards the entrance, perfect spot for museum but I want museum on a cliff behind 😢 idk what else will look good here cos it’s too smal for able and cranny side by side
Most furniture items are 2x or 1x so 3 each side gives you a lot of room to play
Trying to make it look more like a cat than a frog, it looks cute either way
@harsh plinth THATS SO FECKIN CUTE HOMG
yeah my thinking was 3 wide gives you the ability to walk around the 2 wide furniture (i.e a table and a chair) so you can access the chair. But not sure if it would look weirdly huge for every house to have that much space
Finished my dining/proposal area today
@harsh plinth ooh! That's beautiful ;w; they're going to love it !!

@raven sandal I'd pick one side to put the yard on, as oppsoed to putting 3 wide on both sides
is that a website?
Is what a website?
@cedar lodge ooh didn't think about eyes

island planner
@jovial cairn https://bobacupcake.itch.io/island-planner it's not finished yet though
oooh thanks

it works in browser but it's recommended that you download it to make sure the saves take
maybe if I did this and put some fossils up behind it... that'd free up space in the plaza in front of the museum, right now there's a vertically oriented parasaur fossil on one side, and seating on the other. and also do something with the space between the back of the museum and the river
Heyy, pretty much I’m not creative whatsoever and I was wondering if someone has a template I am copy? 😆🤣
Omg! I am shit at planning I tried with the Happy Island Designer and my ideas did not work out the way i wanted. Thanks so much for sharing!
What’s that website called?? @frank spade

hi! which flower color pairings might go well in an area with a Gold Phone Box and Silver Park Clock? https://nookazon.com/products?search=phone box
@fierce dune prolly a bit unconvential but I think blue works actually pretty well with that because it's complementary
hi! which flower color pairings might go well in an area with a Gold Phone Box and Silver Park Clock? https://nookazon.com/products?search=phone box
@fierce dune I bet red or blue maybe. Silver ones are basically white, right? You could stick to primary colors
@fresh geyser tyvm! I was thinking at least blue and will experiment with different breeds
Oh wait I was looking at yellow, not gold phone box. I'd still try both
@frank spade ty for the reply! i'll give them a try. it's close to nooks cranny so could match it's awning 🙂
Anyone's shops selling white Hyacinths today?

@frank spade ty for the reply! i'll give them a try. it's close to nooks cranny so could match it's awning 🙂
@fierce dune I'm thinking blue might be too close to complementary to a silver clock but contrasting with the phone box, whereas red would contrast all 3 and give Primary Color Vibes
Small map update, left path looks weird but I’m hoping it’ll look nice in person once it’s done
im de - furnituring my island this may take a while
Leaf umbrella's make for great outdoors decorations
mushroom island incoming
Niice!
How’s everyone layed out their campsites ?
I did this
i tried to do something different with the double south map but decided i hate it so now i have to fix the river lol
@limber relic a bit late to reply to you but our river mouths and airport are pretty much located in the same area, here's what i did after terraforming~
hi i am currently redesigning my island and i want more hight and stuff. plsss how can i improve. i’m rly stuck!!!
any tips for an island where resident services is almost TOUCHING the airport, i’m abt to start crying rn cause there is no inspo for that 😫😫
@woven drift sooo pretty omg. great job!
thank you !! @storm bluff
i had the stone path but i changed for the yellow path and it took me 2 hours to redo everything but i love it so much haha
My cherry blossom onsen-like area
Oh those panels 😍
Guys I need help! Just started building my island and I’m going for like a city vibe! I got my first plot rdy to build something. It I don’t know what! Any suggestions? Was thinking of like an arcade/ pool hall kinda thing
@woven drift how close to the airport is yours?
Can anyone come to my island in a bit and give me some tips?
@tight osprey it’s about 5-7 spaces 😤😤
Natural island inspo anyone?
i just picked up 25+ diys that were dropped on my island and my rating went up to 5 stars 0___0
https://twitter.com/Cobra_Crossing/status/1257292922841489408 Does someone know what's causing this area to lag my game?
Stopped developing this area because it was making my game lag... The lag didn't come across on video #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/51MLVkS5Pj
@magic prawn This is kinda like city themed too
@storm bluff lmao I did the exact same thing last night thinking the same would happen to me. Nope still 4 stars
Spent hours on this 👀
@woven drift think it's the same as mine 🤣 and I'm also still figuring it out
Anyone else still finding eggs here and there is it just me
@tight osprey ugh it’s a constant struggle 😒😒 AND ON TOO OF EVERYTHING ITS OFF CENTER 😤😫
if you want everything to be symmetrical and nice you're gonna have a hard time imo
A new beach area I made, I used an island I saw on SwitchForce for inspo 🙂
Neighbourhood section coming together. Any outside front yard decoration inspo people have would be appreciated 
@woven drift same my resident services is so close to my airport it’s nearly impossible to do anything nice 😭
@stable bluff i didnt even expect it to happen X__X lolol
@clever condor some say that’s a good thing others are salty about it... idk what to believe
mine is quite close so I just put a pathway with two tiki torches lol
Anyone got some tips on how I can improve my island
Idk mine is also quite close, its fine
Are there any small/good looking music players which I can place throughout my island to play music everywhere without looking ugly?
You can use the bamboo ones and hide them behind trees
or the shell ones on the beach
thanks!
Can anyone send your cafe designs?
Castle
I.... I can’t tell whether this looks wierd or not lol- it kinda does but-??? Opinions?
It looks so pretty!
What do u guys think about my castle?
It isn’t too much?
Imo it’s a little busy with all the paths but I’m more simplistic so my opinion shouldn’t make you want to change anything 😂
@ripe anchor thank you 🥺
@hollow horizon so it is too much?? Should i tone it down?
Love it!
Tacky beach shop
@wraith drum nooooo, like I said I’m more simplistic. At least so far... keep it!
It’s really pretty with the castle!!
Is there a video or guide on how to place paths / Custom designs so that when you place a fence there is no grass showing or so it doesn’t over extend? Dunno where else to post this question lol
Hmm okay thanks!
Well the fence will always build in the middle of the “block” so if you don’t want path under them, build on the next block over from said path
Hi does anyone have any good inspiration for good Orchard set ups? i want my fruit trees separated out but don't know the best way
@woven drift that castle is so awesome
This is an example I want the brick to line evenly with said path.
Yeah I don’t think that’s possible lol
Really clever
You’d have to get a path edge custom design
Rip 
i have so many primary flowers im honestly just gonna sell them
That’s what I did too @valid merlin. I only keep hybrids
guys !!! you can design ur island with 3D Island planner !!!! instead of HHD!!!

I think if you delete all trees your star rating will go down, if you care about that aspect
@wraith drum I think the plain dirt path would be better instead of the wood path underneath the custom designs. Busy custom designs are cool but I think it’s a bit too busy with the patterned wood
@woven drift what are those lamps 
@scenic blaze oooo i’ll give it a try tysm!
@halcyon mural mush lamps, fall seasonal
@static dirge ur island layout is so nice!
rolling through pinterest QRs... bless the makers
I need
how do I get the diy? Do I have to open balloons and bottles on the shore to get it?
Oh that's lovely
I can’t decide between stone or brick paths got any tips for me
Personally I like the stone
I don’t really like the brick in this game
stone
Stone is better
ugh terraforming is no joke 😭
Ok ima do stone I like it more but all of this is brick just wanted to see other opinions
terraforming is so stressful
Thanks
I wish there was a quick option to clean up flowers and stuff
Terraforming makes me tired smh
Imagine unlocking terraforming 😳
Having to pick up my thousands of flowers
Can anyone show the able sisters outdoor design?
One by one
it sucks
@snow seal post in #flower-plants-trade and see if anyone wants them lol
I planted like 300 flowers to get 3 stars and then went and removed them all 😔
I just throw them away tbh 👁👁
hahaha same
I have binned so many black flowers and hybrids 😦 I feel bad everytime
The discovery of the bin was life changing
So true
Too much work going to other islands to sell them rather throw it away
ive had to sell so many flowers to make my plaza
You guys like my fruit farm
It would be good if they could go in storage
Lol
Whew so many trees
There’s more then that
Wow
Lol why tho
I just hired people to pick
Probabyl to make bells
Dang imagine changing ur mind about that fruit farm
Well that’s a good point
I have 20m in savings so I don’t even bother with selling the fruit
I just deleted my island 🙅🏾♀️🙅🏾♀️🙅🏾♀️🙅🏾♀️
not as in restarted the whole thing, as in the island
why 😮
Perhaps y'all can help. I don't remember where but I saw an amazing terraforming / decorating example of what to do with the able sisters shop (it involved a loom and waterfalls) and I thought I saved it but I can't find it anywhere and I am desperately in need of good ideas for what to do with their place.
Any ideas of what to do on the beach?
because I saw so many good shit on Twitter that I felt rlly shitty about my island so I deleted it all
Tiki bar!
imagine being able to use rugs outside your home
imagine being able to use rugs outside your home
@terse terrace magic circle right under my moon
thats sick actually
imagine being able to put wall furniture on the edge cliff
Looks good Robín
imagine how modern society would be if ac implemented those things
imagine being able to put wall furniture on the edge cliff
@woven drift
I wish!
Imagine being able to connect 2 cliffs with a bridge
I have also seen a beach side restaurant with tbles expanded to the beach!
imagine having a white fence
Does custom tiles count toward development points.... adding to your rating? Or nahhhh?
Imagine being able to put DIYS in storage
ugh the annoying part about a double south river is chasing after balloons LMAO
Imagine getting the pocket camp furnitures
Connecting cliffs with bridges would change everything
Quick question, do you guys think i should keep the pool like this or do it with terraforming?
Yes it would!
TYTY
@nova geode what’s the QR code for the water!
Idk if you want fish in your pool, so maybe not terraforming?
Yeah, i guess so
I think it needs more 3d effects
Maybe use the top middle water pattern at the top of your pool
I wish you could put wall items on cliffs
There is a small black line at the bottom of it as well tho
the garlands would look so cute
An natural entrance for the Nook cranny ☺️ lm still working on it but l think is kind cute
I wish everyone a wonderful week ❤
Omg
When do we get jungle landscapes, that would be dope
@woven drift and you get a waterfall and you get a waterfall and you...
What do you mean lol
Starting on my graveyard... Need to customise them and add one more. Definitely will change the pathing and add some black roses
Love the graveyard! Is that a wanted poster back there? 😂
@past basin what do you mean? My island is kinda jungly/tropical
Imagine dying
@woven drift You need more black flowers? I have some for free if you like pls help me get rid of them lol
Jungle plants, canopy, vines. aerial suspension bridges, actual jungle @shell tiger
Finally
Good morning from my fully grown bushes 😌
Is it weird to make a Baseball Stadium for your islands fictional team?
Updated my playground area with sand art 😆
@shell tiger if you want a better look I took a vid last night! https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1257069969797349377?s=21
quick walkthrough of my forest leading into the cranny's new landscaping #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/1QBhASpUSX
Lmao I’m moving slowly towards opening for visits
I’m hoping for a week from now 😬😬😬😬😬
Do i go with brick wood or stone for this
how long is it taking you so far? @scenic blaze
Sorry if it looks bad
i love putting my time into this game but ngl it feels excessive
@scenic blaze love it, there is this girl I follow on insta who kinda has your vibes island_dweller_ellie I think you might like it
Hello can anyone help me with my island
@terse terrace I have over 465 hours now lol
Sigh ... cause of my drift joycon I accidentally gave Raymond my golden net 😂
@winter star stone imo, it fits the water well (because its like rocky stepping stones) and is a nice contrast with the dirt main land
@terse terrace I unlocked terraforming on April 1 and have been tinkering since then, but I only really got a vision for my island about halfway through April
i got drift playiing animal crossing, now whenever i terraform its bad
i really only started renovating my island because of you guys lmfao
Oki thanks
@shell tiger ooo I’ll check her out ty
@terse terrace omfg!!! I’m redoing my whole map and like trying to use the water tool is making me want to throw my switch out
I need help...
Considering making an acnh insta but I already have two accounts for my real life so I think that’s excessive lmao
LOL MY CHARACTER JUST RUNS TO THE LEFT AND HOPS RIVERS WHEN IM AFK
please nintendo why you make poopy controllers
I got drift in my cute green joycon bc of this game so now I’m using the default red and blue and it hurts
😭 😭
that fucking suuucks, i was going to buy the acnh switch but i cancelled the order
i didnt realize how people are going to upsell the console so hard
ngl ive never gotten a bad trade
Neither 😬
Wanted to make star themed place
i think majority of the ac community are honest, ur just really unlucky
Honestly with that name you shouldn’t have not traded
Tru
oh yea they dont even have a pfp
Even when I have a bad feeling about a trade and I go through with it, it turns out fine LOL - I’ve been really lucky
Ya I don’t trade with those types of profiles
i think its just real unlucky to get scammed, normally players go through with the terms
Some girl in here was asking for green mums for gold roses so I gave her a handful and she did not return the favor lol but that’s the worst trade I’ve gotten
@swift stag 🤩😍
At least mums I can grow back
@hollow horizon Hello! ❤️
sometimes people do mistakes while trading and thats why i use discord, we sort the mistake out
Well gonna take a break from that
I texted them and they havent replied
But they also didnt blockmme
Next time force quit your game
What an ass!
That’s why I just crash the game so I keep my items
It’ll reset to the last save
you should stay in this discord, well give you free stuff and our first newborn @surreal yoke
@scenic blaze why did you have to post your entrance 😂😂 you inspired me to stray away from modern/city map and now I’m doin medieval/nature map 😂😂
This was like a few days agooo
@zealous pendant loool you can curse me while you terraform
i love the random mecha
Oh my gawd
just saying hi to the newcomers
It looks amazing
@zealous pendant 👀👀👀 it looks so good thooooo
I live in the ranch
do you guys think terraforming is worth it? or will i mess up my island 😳
Totally worth it
I can't wait for mushroom season (I don't tt north hem) those diy are so pretty and I want them all
Dr phil always be visiting with random people
Hey guys any ideas on flower gardens ? I want a really big one because the one I have now isn’t big enough at all. But I don’t know how I want the layout of it
@gusty steeple i think terraforming is the best part about this game
Just finished picking the fruit
Couldn’t agree more with Kim
thanks guys!! might give it a try
anyone have ideas on what to fill empty spaces with tho?
don't be afraid to mess up. Nothing is permanent 🙂
@atomic zinc I love flowers so I wanted them everywhere instead of just in one place. I incorporated by creating small flower gardens around my trees
i know rhis is probably for the TT chat but has anyone ever put everything on the beach and “re terraformed” their island and then put it back using TT, was it worth it?
i gave in and got the splatoon pro controller cause the drift was so bad
If you’re going for a more natural looks, trees, garden rocks, flowers, or weeds are good space fillers!
and bushes :)
^^
My farmers market!
thanks!! i’ll try to space out some trees and flowers and stuff
@woven drift Hey im back from picking the fruit before want to see
yesss
@hidden nimbus obviously not the point, but love your nails ❤️
Look who decided to show up
p e a r
Damn that's alot of fruit
Ye
My orchard only has 5 trees of each lol
@tardy saddle haha Thankyou!! 🤩
I finished my ables sisters cafe absbdhfhsjs
Does anybody have their villagers in a "neighborhood" with their houses in vertical rows instead of horizontal ones?
that's so cute
Pretty!
Like that?
Would redoing my entire island so its mostly elevated land with a pit in the middle (like a meteor impact) be a good idea? So my highest level would be the museum, astronomy, (maybe) my house, and a lot of cedar, flowers and holly, my middle would be more fruit trees, kind of natural, and my ables, and the lowest level being my shop, the houses, my plaza, bamboo trees and a secret way to my beach.
Sorry for that chunk, just thinking much thought
Like that?
@swift stag Yeah... I'm trying to make something like that but with communal space in the middle somehow
That could be super cool and unique @sage hearth
where have you guys placed your own houses on the map?? would love to see for some inspo lol
I hate my placement. I'm about to rearrange for the 3rd time
Thank you! I thought of it last night and cant shake it.
@frank spade I have a residential area like that!
Mine is way too crowded
I do as well thanks to the inspo from cloudy
@frank spade :>
Thinking of moving the museum where my house is to make the positioning of residential services less freaking awful, and try to make a proper entrance area, but that leaves the question of where to put my houses. North of the river is out of the question, that's where all my hiking trails and stuff are going to go. But there's little horizontal space on the lower third of the island :/
yoooo nice airport
Thanks I worked hard on it
I HATE that you can’t move resident services. That’s feels like a pretty major design flaw in the game 😩
I think we had the same rough idea
My orchard is in that blank spot in D2, but I'm thinking of moving it back to its original location, in E6, moving the playground that is currently in E6 back to the western side of the island in the "neighborhood", but I'm not sure how to do that neighborhood
I'm so jealous of your airport 😔
@hollow horizon What a team! 🙂
Is it possible to do a western barn / ranch on the island? i have a full cowboy outfit
You ever realize the cost of your renovations and instantly wish you didnt
Use corral and country fences!
I bet I can scare you guys with my house room
Is it possible to do a western barn / ranch on the island? i have a full cowboy outfit
@polar crow i saw ar eally cool island tour of a western themed island, let me find the video
Dirt roads
@swift stag one of these days I’ll have to visit and explore your island. It’s my favorite I’ve seen by far
I've already moved everything once and I'm about to do it again

i have a small quadrant completely empty and im just going to make either a communal area or a ranch so
No wonder my house is tiny
Boo
nice ideas, but too much greenery for a western island xD
@hollow horizon I’ve just destroyed my entrance. Currently designing a new one 🙂 I would love for you to come visit once it’s finished!
wait are u able to edit ur airport or did I miss something
Just lmk when!
@dapper ginkgo lol they were joking
If wanted to put in the effort, you could make a second player and turn their house into a barn/ranch @polar crow
oh💀
@woven drift I’m considering that to make an indoor library with the spare house 😅
ooh yesss I'm doing the same except making a plant/flower shop
Yesss I love that!
guys i have a 6x8 area next to Abel's, what should i do with all that room?
Cafe ^
the double debts really hit different 😳
So true 😂 but I’m only going to do the expanded first room I think
hmmm good point, ty!
I really want to change the exterior of the house but i havent even got that far on my first house 😔
This is my house
@polar crow make an outdoor sewing lounge to match ables!
Im going to move it and make some changes soon
it looks nice
LF : WHITE FLOOR LIGHT
FT : NMT
I never got an answer to my baseball stadium question lol 
.
Do you guys prefer your waterfalls more blocky square or very natural like?
natural like with bends is better imo
I personally like natural better
I keep going through phrases, I’m trying to do a bit of both
Natural 🙂
I prefer the look of natural, but mine end up looking like blocks in the end anyway 😔
0 patience with terraforming
I’ll make it curvy then I’ll bring it back to a block. I’m so bad 🤣
This is my favourite one
I love the diagonal bridge, the little baby waterfall is super cute too
That looks so nice
I wish we could terraform diagonal waterfalls, but alas
gotta make do lol
I wish there were diagonal paths
I try to make them look all different
your island is so cute
ahh I love your island
Cloudy give me an island tour 
I'm so jealous 😭
Those paths are pretttyyyy
thank i made a garden and playground too
wowwwww omg
@halcyon mural @zinc hull @woven drift Thank you ❤️
natural islands just hit different
Wow the wood and path aesthetics are awesome cloudy
my friend helped me find these custom designs i used for the garden
Ooh you have watermelons
mhm
love those beach balls hahaha
@ashen frost Thank you so much 🙂
anddddd playgrounddddd
There are melons in animal crossing??
they're beach balls
Omg u genius that's fantastic
and that’s all the nice things about my island because i’m slow and bad at this design thing
Time to buy 30 beach balls lol
dw take your time, looking good so far!

I love freckles
adorableeeee
My farm plot is obviously very beautiful
dw take your time, looking good so far!
thank you
Minimalistic design
10/10
My Zen garden ❤️
:00000
wowwww
THAT’S BEAUTIFUL
ITS BEAUTY
Not loving these flowers here, any ideas on which flowers would really pop here? There’s only room for 2 on each side.
I know this isn’t relevant but how do I invite someone to the server
anyone have a club or nightclub area on their island? and any qr codes for cool nightclub floors😊 send me pics I need some inspo
Not loving these flowers here, any ideas on which flowers would really pop here? There’s only room for 2 on each side.
@tardy saddle
maybe use the same color flower for all the flowers
@tardy saddle two white lamps in the back and two red roses in front would look nice
living room
@heady garnet I only have the green lamps but that’s actually a great idea!
@tardy saddle white roses and lilies? or maybe white and red roses
@tardy saddle you could probably find someone to trade with
cute!
@tardy saddle maybe not red flowers? Could be blending in with all the red brick?
true
@violet ridge it’s a nice living room but belongs in #happy-home-designs >_<
I'm not sure it was the best idea , but I like the layout of the floor in mine..
@bitter inlet oh sorry oh god
I'm not sure it was the best idea , but I like the layout of the floor in mine..
@gleaming jackal
i think it looks nice
I have all the rose colors so I can try a different color. Maybe the blue ones will pop if I can find white lamps
I'm making a arcade/play area. Do you have any suggestions
Finally moved all my villagers houses into their places after messing up 4 times 😂😭
@winter spade put drinking and snack machines , as well as cotton candy stands , it'll look great!
@winter spade add a fence?
demolishing zen bridges hits different 😢
Finally moved all my villagers houses into their places after messing up 4 times 😂😭
@undone loom

@winter spade definitely a fence
It work ?
School design
cool!
