Are you okay?
Normal things happen here
wowowow
nice
The gnome makes it
@idle topaz the staircase is so nice, ik I’ve seen one like that in a game but I can’t remember
@woven drift How did you get all of those shell diys?
Ahah thks :)
I cannot find my last fossil today for the friggin life of me. I guess this is what happens when you terraform your island to the brink of insanity
Is it on the back side of a double cliff? I’ve found them there
Please send more design slots
@bitter inlet pkmn dungeon mistery ?
My plan for my music festival ( the little lines are kiosks) does this looks good?
Thanks !! @granite lance
Starbucks cafe
I finally unlocked my terraforming! I’m trying my hand at it but gosh it can be difficult to work around 🥴
Please help me decide what to do here
My shrine alone takes up like a third of the available design slots 
Something about dinner outside on the beach makes me smile
adorable
Nowhere near finished the part at the bottom but catwalk stage!
Yeah hmmm
Wow great
The shape at the ends a bit wrong imo, gotta fix that xD
@woven drift How did you get all of those shell diys?
@flat tapir trading!
Catwalk he said, not cockwalk
LOL
my museum
BRUH
Nice
Damn the dino cutouts actually look nice
I wish I had blue pansies ; (
Always thought they were kinda corny
Still working on my heart shaped island
My island outline
I have 4 out of 6 of my favorite dream villagers. Zucker, Octavian, Lolly, and Drago. I also got 3 stars today so now I can terraform!
woowww lucky
My museum
it took me 47 nmt's to finally find Marina today
Oh
I-
Nice
T rex thicc
Well at least u found her
no
@frozen axle that is so cool
I really wish my island design were like that
Its a anime' flashback
My island layout rn
fortune teller section so creepy
Nice mask
me and muffy small cafe section
Omg
got a whole cult happening
A hunter must hunt
Giving off some of that slender man forest vibes
Play testing terraforming alone probably cost them so many development years
probably
It’s taking years off my own life trying to make the damn rivers
probably the reason the game got delayed ha
How can I fix my catwalk xD
Get a bunch of gnomes for the audience
when you accidentally fill in the middle of a waterfall so you have to fill it all in and redo it
gnomes = best furniture
the game really just needs an undo feature
fr
The game needs like proper tile snapping instead of the garbage we have now
Planning on replacing the custom squares with flowers, once I get enough blacks (since there's no brown flowers)
And why the heck can you erase custom designs if thdyve been placed with the terraformer
My gnomes guard my entrance
I wish you could have more than 8 bridges/inclines
srsly. I just need one more incline
same
They should give us a free incline due to Redd
Coconut trees on land
the 8 incline thing stuffed me up so bad
Just got random paths leading to nowhere now
I wish 😔
That would work
you can plant coconut trees on land. just lay down a block of sand under it
I dont even have space for bridges or inclines, my stufffs all too narrow
Collect the bounty
Skeleton
I’d love some garden inspiration!! For breeding flowers. I just don’t know where to put flower beds to look cute !
I see that cursed rabbit
glad u noticed
You cant hide your sins from us
hahahahaha
@zenith matrix if you check #garden-science-discussion there are tons of layouts pinned to set up beds for breeding. Once you’ve bred the hybrids, I have a few patches for duplication if you’d like a picture
4 for 4! almost done
@hollow horizon ya I’d love to see pic they told to come here lmao
So I’m debating whether or not to keep the fence and bamboo or make a bit more open, because my island is themed like a Japanese town/ market
@zenith matrix stand by, let me load up my game!
Actually I’ve already posted it before, here you go 🙂
@north forum this is my entrance im trying to keep it sorta japanese to
what do you guys think of my pool area?
What would be good pirate themed fencing
@quiet peak the cross one. I forget it’s actual name
Oh wow thanks for the inspiration
yw
Spiky Fence is the name lol
Okay
is possible to filter post that have picture in this channel?
found it nvm
Anyone with an outdoor library can I see how they look like? 😁
@iron summit
@iron summit
@scenic blaze Thanks
Is this good pirate decking
Where do people get the money to create all these crazy designs? I'm always scraping by.
Turnips
what path from nook miles is the most cottagecore??
Turnips
Rate my redd dock!
Oof, just turnips?
9/10👌
i accidentally put audies too close to the path. i wanted to move it but it says its too close to her home now. does this mean i will have to move her house somewhere random and then where i want it to be? :’/ i already spent so many bells
F
Is this good pirate decking
Quit and don't save?
@tender harbor i didnt realize until after that its one tile off
The same thing happened to me @bronze lagoon so yeah you have to move it somewhere else then put it where you want
It probably already autosaved
Most likely auto saved yes
I created these two stalls but I don’t know what to do with the other two, any ideas that will fit the foresty vibe?
anyone want to share your island ideas with me? looking for entrance ideas xx pls dm me!
A bakery
@magic cape plant trees and then chop them down so it leaves a tree thingy idk what its called
A stump lol
@hollow horizon yes haha thank u
was planning to do that with the saplings but I don’t know what to do with the extra stalls
I just restated my island and want to make this a Japanese themed island, any advice or ideas?
@magic cape one that has small fossils (like dinosaur track or amber) would be cool
Can anyone send your able sisters design?
yar har fiddle me dee
good idea! thanks (:
bein' a pirate is alright with me
do what you want cause a pirate is free you are a pirate
So is this pirate like
Love the look of that
@quiet peak maybe you could put water around it so it looks like a bridge? Just an idea! It looks cool
Hey Goodmornin guys
Can anyone show your cafe designs?
@magic cape what stone path is that?
Omg I hate that!
How much water 2 squares @zinc hull
@halcyon mural
Thank you 
@surreal yoke whoa, how did you get the walls?
@woven drift they look like panels with a custom design
Do you have any design near able sisters? @surreal yoke
Give us more design slots
Pls
And today's task complete.. Easter island exhibit XD
What can I put near able sisters?
Wow!!
@pearl pier what stone path is that you have a code for it :000
You should drop some of these demon eggs lol
What can I put near able sisters?
@raven kindle a café or something related to the shop
Why does everyone have so many good stone paths LOL
Does someone have an idea what i could do here?
Can anyone give me some inspiration / dimensions for a band/music area?
@fierce mulch maybe just a chill sitting area?
@spring venture sounds good ty
How can I decorate a pirate market
@hollow bramble
you can make a custom pattern and put in between the two paths....
I want a double waterfall and a path in between, but mine looks awful, how can I make it more natural?
@tawny socket put trees where it changes so it can't be seen
What can I put near able sisters?
@raven kindle
i have a question- when i put down custom designs, they come out as squares, how can i make rounded corners with them? i've seen them rounded like in this picture. is this the result of an update or is there a way to make them like this?
Oh so nice! @shy grail
@fringe lark oh haha right as i asked realised i have to put them over one of the default patterns! thanks for your help tho (:
I guys want to see my house
@lapis pond you have to find a custom path that is able to be rounded, it is usually transparent and the newer versions. you need to place down a normal path first and then put the custom over the default
I’m going to move it later on
@turbid raptor thanks for the detailed answer! i ended up discovering it by doing it by accident just now haha x)
@lapis pond glad i could help 🥰🥰
Lol thanks
@velvet torrent What kind of custom path would I be looking for, there are so many
Im going to move it to the uper left of my island later it’s going to be a huge project
@shy grail how can I make that round path near the able sisters door?
Make it then press the button to make it again it will round it off
you just put the path, and then smooth the angles by pressing the button again 🙂
@vast pasture I love how nice your house looks but you should really try customizing It by talking to Tom nook and selecting “about my home”
Oh nice
I miss the way my house looked when it just had two rooms 😦
this ^
Also does anyone know how to get nooks crany upgraded
Yes but, how can you maintain it after putting a building there? The path auto erases @mossy sparrow @shy grail
@velvet torrent What kind of custom path would I be looking for, there are so many
@tawny socket you could make your own, having each side be the respective path color/ design or look in #path-codes for some ideas
You put the path after you place the building
Oh you can? I thought you cannot
Im trying to come up with public space ideas so I can plan out my island, so far I have:
Music/Band Area, Cafe, Visitor Market, Island Park, Lighthouse, Main Street (for stores)
Yeah you can have the path “under” the shop steps. Just stand by the steps and place it 🙂
Okay thanks!
@hollow bramble you could do a peer if you have the weird grass ledge on your beach, that’s what I have done
This is what Ive planned so far. I want the villagers to have bit space in their yard for customizing
@hollow bramble a nature reserve maybe?
That looks good at the top you could maybe do a farm
Where can I get the orchard signs and the pointed signposts 🙂
I want to expand my residential area but I cant find enough room
Actually, i take it back big house wins
I guess my orchard is boutta get rekt
@hollow bramble you could do a place where you decorate it for each season/ event happening
Anyone got ideas of areas to do in a beach?
ACNH.island.life on Instagram
My residential area so far right next to a park. Going to decorate villager houses next!
Not sure what to do with the tops of these little cliffs and waterfalls I’ve made! Anyone have inspo? Flowers and bushes look odd
Statues?
Filbert's silo, where he stores all his snacks
Anyone have a nice cafe area?
Me and my houses
Thank you that looks awesome!
Thanks!
Does anyone have a busy china town look of an island? I really wanna turn my northern area of the island into that
What is that headless winged statue called
It's a valiant statue
@kindred nexus Winged Victory of Samothrace irl lol
Hi y’all, I’m not sure if it’s okay to ask something like this but I’m having a really hard time coming up with ideas on how to terraform my island... anyone have any suggestions? This is what it looks like empty:
Oh ok thank you!
My RS is 2 squares off
Omg , I feel like that’s what’s giving me such a hard time
I wish it was centered like everything else
rip mine is in the middle so it interferes with my down the middle island idea
Or at least with the airport
Mine is off center by 2 and it makes my entrance really a struggle
o
@kindred nexus SAME
Aside from building a residential area, I’m not too sure what to do to
I just dunno where I want it
Does anyone have examples of nice fairgrounds?
A fairground as in an amusement park?
Yes
Ah no I’m sorry lol
I’m having a lot of trouble making the black/red set look nice 😭
Can I see anyone's cafe area?
Does anyone have an outdoor diner set up? I keep seeing indoor ones and really wanted to make an outdoor one
Any ideas on what I should do with more northern beach? Or can I see some of yours for inspo?
i have a small fraction if my island left to do, its pink/nature themed—im not sure what else i can do, can someone please suggest some jdeas
i have it rough look how close my resident service is to the airport
@lament cloud, so for my outdoor diner since i used the red diner set i put cherry trees and red roses lining the diner and it looked nice
Thank you!
Anyone able to help with my island? Out of the pictures I sent, what looks better— the first or second layout? And, how should organize the rest of the space?
1st
1st takes more space up
@kindred nexus that sounds pretty awesome! I have a complete red diner set myself, and made a simple red and white tile pattern to put on the floor!
I like the 2nd
**anyone have a playground area or park that they can send pictures of? (: **
2nd one actually, you’d have a lot more space
@lament cloud, me too! I think it turned out really nice before i removed it lol
The problem is I’m not sure what to do with the rest of that space lol
Aside from like a music stage for villager karaoke
Ty everyone!
Finally finished my pool area!
I need help deciding how and where to place my shops/museum. I want it around the resident services under the river
rate? i don’t know if my text went through
@eternal latch its nice!!!
thanks. took a whilleeeee to make
I just made a cafe area! I'm wondering what I should do next as I have made a lot areas like a swimming pool, an amusement park and a ton of other stuff. What should I do next? Any suggestions to help me out? :p
Make. a pool area
I did that.
playground
Also did that.
or a diner/restaurant
library
you can make a fruit stand area
Make an oasis
i think i’m keeping my beaches open for the most part
A beach bar with coconut juice maybe
^
So I've been working on my museum area. Trying to make it a little spooky. What do you guys think? I feel its still lacking. I intend to maybe put some black flowers around the place.
Np and gl!
recreated something i saw on reddit from Owen Gaynondorf! i added street lamps and its one of my fave part of my island now
Can you lay down carpets outside on the ground or just inside the house?
Can someone help me, I feel like my island is too stiff and OCD
my entrance is almost finished, what pink/purple/white flowers should i add?
I'm looking for a suggestion on the type of fence I should put around my plaza
The hedge fence looks the best IMO
I'm looking for a suggestion on the type of fence I should put around my plaza
@spare dirge i like the iron fences or the hedge fence
Thanks for the ideas @nova geode and @balmy torrent
@fringe lark thank you!! most of my island plays off mostly white items outdoors it makes it seem so clean with the nice pops of color from the flowers
Love making natural narrow passages filled with weeds/ nature. Still waiting for bushes and some white flowers to grow in.
Can I see any cafe area?
I did it, finally, FINALLY!
fire
@round crater I’m totally a fan of narrow passageways with the cliffs too! Love what you’ve done there
the space between my airport and my plaza is 8x12 tf do i do ahhhhh
@obtuse abyss I have the same problem... so annoying
PM if you want to visit my island tonight for inspiration.
time to delete the island and start all over
I think people forget that because your RS is in front of your entrance it doesn’t mean you need to lead a straight path right to it...
Lead it to the left or right, detour the paths..
@median patio can I visit you later?
Block off the RS with trees and fencing
ooooo good idea
Yeah! Just dm me, my island is still a work in process
Y'all drop some housing area designs, mine is lacking rn
I need to make a golden rose farm so I can decorate my golden anchor
@obtuse abyss Is the spacing 3 blocks? You have enough space for a line of trees and a path way 2 blocks wide
If 4, even better - can add fencing
It’s 4 🙂
My island is close to the same, Im working in a bit- but I'll host and let you guys check it out for ideas. Ive heard good things about the island I put like 200 hours into so far lol
What do you think of my neighborhood I’m building? Also, do you think I should keep the two houses on the left of the river there or should I move them somewhere else
Yo does anyone have Gibbons map, might take some inspo from that
almost 500 hours and only the museum is done 😎
I would literally plan stuff out while playing smash, then sleep on it and then spend like 10 hours at a time
id love for someone to come visit my island and walk thru it with me giving me some ideas and tips on what to add its a WIP but its getting there pls dm me id love some help💗
Nothing quite like realizing I don’t have the path for the natural incline AFTER building them 😅
island still bad lol
almost 500 hours and only the museum is done 😎
@balmy crystal same lol
@hollow horizon What colour is the stairs again?
The one in the picture above your comment ^^
OOOOOO
I found vertical but I need horizontal 😅
😭
@light tartan that stall is so sweet lookin
@hollow horizon if only you can edit the design and flip it
Pink diner coming soon!
@swift stag I might have to give it a try lol
Anyone can join just for fun dropped items are free J2S1D
@boreal eagle Hmmmmm because the water area is so limited the bridge looks really big. I find if space is limited for the water I opt for a flat bridge. But that’s entirely up to your preference 🙂
👍 ty!
@errant plover i think it looks fine but maybe rows of trees for lining the path after the bridge
@boreal eagle Actually it’s only because of the angle - how far to the side does the water extend out?
Having trouble building my island and keep changing my mind. I have some ideas... but it’s not coming all together... what should I do
not done yet :<
@boreal eagle Omg angles are deceiving! It looks beautiful
ty!
@turbid hollow make your island map in island designer before you start terraforming! that way you can play around without have to waste hours and money on it all. (:
I just changed my whole entire entrance
^ Me every day
anyone have any japanese aesthetic islands? my bf is looking for some inspo and i wanna help him :> tysm!
@swift stag proof or it didn’t happen!
oooh, ty!
@hollow horizon I will take a photo when I get back on 🙂
There are so many island designers... which one is a good one to use?

@turbid hollow https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
Was wondering if someone could come to my island and look around to see what I can add to make it a 3 star so the kk concert can happen I will give you my dodo code just let me know that would be great thanks!!!
@karmic basalt that’s easy! Make sure you have fences, place an item in each of the big squares on the map, and plant flowers
@karmic basalt if you have 8-9 houses i believe you automatically get three stars. that may be what you need to push you to that rating! that’s what works for me
Well, and make sure you have enough residents
You are required to have at least 8
I believe also if you just lay out a bunch of nook mile items randomly
i needed all 10 cuz i had turnips 😭😂
LOL
LOL omg
the fact we only have 50 custom design slots is so annoying. I need so many more
I’m facing the fact I won’t ever reach 5 stars because I already have too many trees and I’m not close to finishing
hahah i love trees and weeds too much but ive had a 4 star for awhile that i might get it
@swift stag chop down everything, burn down the forest
I’m on 4 stars also
@swift stag when I get to 5 and get the watering can I’ll craft you one for all of your inspo help 🙂
anyone know of some cool colour palettes for flowers? i want to follow a theme (softer, elegant) but i don’t know what colours to go after in terms of flowers. also fences
What do you mean by color pallets
imagine how cool this game would be if you could set your entire island on fire
the fact we only have 50 custom design slots is so annoying. I need so many more
@zinc hull what do we do if we run out?
@woven drift im doing purple and white
I only have 2 types of flowers on my island and they’re both white 🤣
@woven drift good pastel flowers are the pink and orange colors of both roses and hyacinths if you want to stick to pastels
I’m just replacing old patterns I don’t want anymore with the ones I want, but you just have to choose which ones you want the most I guess
@woven drift i use all pastels, pink, white, yellow
Anyone use the Birch color Log set items? I love them but need inspiration on how to use them well. Would love to see pics if so. (:
white + any other colour of flower looks nice and makes it seem really clean!
@languid quarry it’s an online app that lets you draw your map entirely the way you want it. that way, when you begin terraforming, you have an (almost) square by square guide on how to do things. for example, this is my map in island designer so i can follow it in the game
you can place trees where you want etc, it’s pretty helpful
also thank you for the replies!! i wanted to use white + some other colours so i’ll focus on pinks and oranges etc
pinks and yellows work better together than oranges! use red with oranges if you use orange
@frosty spruce like pink lemonade
@woven drift, just in case you’d like a visual of what they all look like 🙂
@hollow horizon bro this is so helpful thank you!!!
You’re very welcome!
yes kim!!
Also, in game 👇🏻
you’re a g
green mums look like bitter baby cabbages
Or veeeeeery old artichokes
ngl artichokes taste good

Yes they can

:(
I CAN'T HELP IT

Not much you can do your map already looks amazing as is haha
Can someone help me decorate my island?
you hjust want to add a water way??
YES
@woven drift can I visit your island 🙏
Hey guys can anyone link me to some path ideas?! Not custom designs I have plenty. But shapes etc?
Sure senpai
you can turn the bottom into a waterway
@woven drift okay I'll dm
Someone please help. I need kk on my island.
you already used all your bridges i think? if youre going to add water then you have to remove water in other areas i guess @woven drift
Anyone sort of a designer that can maybe help me? I have a vision kind of but needing some help.
I make lots of fake bridges
ohhh if youre fine with fake bridges then i think small rivers should be fine then
Looking for surf shop inspiration!
I need help decorating my island I will legit pay you 10,000 bells to help.
@woven drift thay looks great! But I see what you mean by aesthetics haha
giving zell and tex a shared backyard because they radiate roommate energy
Hey guys can anyone link me to some path ideas?! Not custom designs I have plenty. But shapes etc?
@woven drift what did you craft?
did u guys make special places to breed ur hybrid flowers i’m trying to find inspo instead of just breeding them out in an open field lol
Hey, anyone got some ideas for a small sand island in the middle of water 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? 😦
Can anyone show me your cafe area?
Corner the path
Lots of tall lanterns stone lion statue stone arch
Well I did on the other side but it still looks meh :c
I need tall garden rock and flat garden rock if you have? I can buy if you don’t need it @woven drift
I could maybe make one but
I'm so scared my file is corrupting
Why is it not saving omg
Sheesh 100 good Rose's did you breed them yourselves?
Yes
Do you have any pics of it 😂
Does anyone do terraforming/decorating services lmao 😅
Hopefully auto-save has your back in this case
Heyy can someone help me I want some advice for my entrance and what to do on the left of it to the town hall
Which stereo has the longest range that it plays the sound?
@woven drift I had the same thing the other day, eventually had to hold down the power button for 15 seconds and force a reboot. I was happy and lucky because everything was safe
keep going with the terraforming @woven drift so u can keep the theme goin and than place like little cafes and stuff or like sets of stuff u like
Is this path cute?
O@scarlet depot they're all the same
Depending on last auto-save
I don't think they are, my jukebox's range is significantly larger than my bamboo speaker @manic lantern
@scarlet depot ooh then I'm assuming it's the stereo
i think that path is cute !
Anyone got an Idea how I could design the town hall well? :3
Any suggestions on what I should add?
i'm so lost lost with how to decorate and terraform my town i don't know what to do
@scarlet depot is your jukebox indoors and the bamboo speaker outside?
How can I make my entrance more pirate like
3d islandplanner there
no @vale garden , both are outdoors
@quiet peak champion's pennant (its a flag thing), tiki torches
@quiet peak add some water on the side maybe
use sand and palm trees too, a warning sign too, a skeleton along with a warning @quiet peak
WOOOOO
shit just let me do your island LMFAO
i love what you did with the entrance so far tho
HECK YEAH BRB QUITTING AC
Awesome haha
PFFFFFF
My town flag is a red pirate flag red pirate flags mean no mercy black pirate flags mean surrender and nobody gets hurt those are some good pirate facts
hey does anyone have some time to quickly look around my island with me? i wanna know what to add since my map looks so empty .w. ill give a ticket to whoever helps! ❤️
oh wow, hm it makes me wonder if theres anything else barbaric looking in the game
can i see some of your entrances for ideas?
Can y'all help me incorporate white into this area? I'm moving Colton's house here, and i want to blend his aesthetic with nature.
Can anyone send a picture of a cafe area?
How do I get a skeleton
nooks, but i can let you catalogue mine
@scarlet depot oh ok because I feel outdoors none of the speakers or stereos really have a big range due to the town music but I do have a ton of them spread out where I can so my villagers sing often. 😅
Anyone have some cool ideas for the museum entrance and lot?
cool
@raven kindle
Any ideas what i can do with this area? I will be moving the houses so it will be completely empty. Also i have 3 inclines left
That can definitely be an area where you can do some good terraforming! Maybe move your campsite there and do like a hiking trail or like magical forest type thing?
Any ideas on what to do? Mine looks extremely simple and I'm trying to get 3 stars again
Omg ok thanks!
There are a lot of paths there, maybe try patterned paths? Mix and match things to make certain areas stand out, but just the layout doesn't do it justice I feel.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH TERRAFORMING
@past jetty oh so nice!
I'm in the midst of terraforming (just unlocked it yesterday) and I realize I'd have to shift my shops to somewhere else, do up that shopping area with cliffs/waterfalls, and then shift back the shops again? phew 🥵
But the star system relies on furniture, fencing, etc. so doing terraforming and stuff like that won't affect your score.
I just want a cute island covered in flowers
my island looks a million times better up close the map just ruins it .w.
brick bridge
i wish sand and different paths had different map icons
Brick
does anyone have a nice looking garden, i kinda need inspiration rn lol
for more interest do you guys think i should raise my cafe a level?
Does anyone have wooden plank signs? Need some for my island layout! Will provide wood, and pay 100,000 bells for 15 signs
Should i have more layers of elevation??
i can craft you as many signs as ya need!
@fringe vessel if you care about your map looking balanced, then yea it needs more elevation
sweet, but i cant rn lol im at work, was hoping i could get pics 😅
K, thanks!
Also going to be opening my island for a short bit, just got to 5 stars so if you need any inspo I might have some.
can anyone come and have a look at my island? its 2 stars and i want some feedback since the map doesnt give it justice :C
Does anyone have pictures where someone mixed forest and white aesthetics, currently at a loss...
i know this doesn’t really make justice to your question, but cedar trees go well with white things! the dark color from the tree is great contrast to the white item. (my photo doesn’t do much justice)
I'm currently thinking of a third color to add to my island look. Atm I have mostly white and blue stuff and flowers with terracotta pathing, so I think orange might work fine?
anyone know what to put between the airport and able sisters? don’t @ me please
@dim copper This is what I'm working with right now.
few pics from my island! a lot of inspo from twitter
That sea plane view just hits different 😚 👌
This is Zuckers house
@foggy haven I added a log garden lounge customized in birch, I also added a bunch of orange windflowers around to match the roof, as well as some white lilies.
What could I add to make a campsite look less empty ? I've got some trees and furniture, but the ground seems flat-ish and empty
Got this cute picture of Rosie and I on the swings outside my house. Putting an orchard on the hill behind makes for a super scenic backdrop.
@frosty spruce gorgeous. looks a lot like honeycrossing
@foggy haven try using white wind flowers with trees they look whimsical and very pretty
took a lot of inspo from her!! with her permission!
@unkempt grove I see, thank you. I wasn't paying attention to the roof color!
Hello guys do u think this is a nice layout ?
@frosty spruce she's very whimsical and you captured that really well while making it your own
Anyone have ideas for a water fall
@woven drift i like it, its really clean
Does anyone have a cottage or forest like village i can visit?
My entrance is very...well flowers
@rich tree I plan to add cedar tree after I decorate. Perhaps I should take off the stone and do custom paths.
Made my boy luckys graveyard area
@fresh geyser idk what you’re stuff exactly looks like, but try having various shades of green (like dark holly hedges) and various browns in the fencing. If you want an additional color try something in the red/orange/yellow family, it’s opposite of blue on the wheel
Here's a cool resident home layout idea
@foggy haven id look for some flower stuff too! Like small path versions to put around the area 🙂
Aww thank u! Yeah I got inspired from his house lol he has three graves in there :’)
@rich tree Oh! Good idea, thank you
Anyone have a cottage core town they want to show off?! 🙂
@fresh geyser idk what you’re stuff exactly looks like, but try having various shades of green (like dark holly hedges) and various browns in the fencing. If you want an additional color try something in the red/orange/yellow family, it’s opposite of blue on the wheel
@knotty igloo Thanks! Yeah I agree, I'm already using a lot of cedar and bamboo trees and thought that orange might be a nice complement to everything! Also I haven't yet realized that holly hedges have a darker hue, I'll definitely have to check that out
Ayee I finally made a Twitter so I can actually get pictures from in game
@zinc hull Omg do you have the code for that path way?
old pic but here’s my cafe!! took inspo from a girl named kristine on twitter! @karmic fossil
I saw a moon thing in here yesterday that I just had to have - is it a catalogue/furniture item or is it a DIY?
@zinc hull gimme your @ tho
guys my island is veryyyy empty and i was hoping someone would help me out with decorating and stuff 👉🏼👈🏼
@swift stag lemme find it real quick
@north schooner DIY from celeste
That looks awesome is your whole island themed like that?
raymond is kinda cute😳
@swift stag
any ideas on what to do with my stupid island? 😀
@zinc hull Thank you so much 🙂
here are other parts of my island! more fairycore than cottage core for the most part @karmic fossil
does anyone else have a neighborhood type concept for their villagers homes? i’m starting one and i want to make it look nice but i don’t know how to make it look good
@frosty spruce thats a unique water layout i like that
Can someone please help me with island design/layouts
thanks! here’s my map
Do you guys like my bling bling community garden
I’m really struggling😅
still have alot to do
It was kinda difficult to get proper shots cuz the area is weirdly shaped (my own fault lmao) but here is pietro and stitches amusement park ♥️
alright time to steal some of your concepts @frosty spruce
hahah! you’re welcome to!! i took a lot of them from twitter i can probably give you a tour today if you’d like!
very much a WIP
ill like to see it when its done, keep it a surprise!
okay!
Can someone reach out and help me with my island?
@rich tree i love this! they deserve their own amusement park ❤️
I'll never stop posting this one
@scenic blaze https://mobile.twitter.com/callistolacnh
yaaaaas
I’ve barely done anything yet lol
i just wanna support from all corners lol
Does anyone have a cottage or forest like island i can visit?
Has anyone else ever like flattened their island and just built from there up
Can I please have help :-:
Or is that an awful idea
@rich tree i love this! they deserve their own amusement park ❤️
@scenic blaze aww thank u so much ♥️ yeah I really wanted to give my clown and teddy a special themed area haha
the image quality of this game is insane
90% of the time its an awful idea, the only person i heard whos done it and hasnt regret it is Train @deft plank
have a plan and be sure 100% in what youre doing or youre going to have a worst creative block
@indigo ether if you post in here asking for specific help and advice, you will get a lot of great advice
what do your museums look like? this is mine, and idk it’s kinda boring
I’m just thinking of flattening and then moving my shops to where I want and building around them kind of thing so I have my layout set
@dim copper add flowers and trees and it will immediately look 10x better!
But then I’m also thinking it could go horribly wrong
This area is supposed to be my little fruit juice area next to the orchard and bunnie ♥️
i restarted the game on tuesday and i unlocked terraforming yesterday but oh god it was so much easier this time cause i knew where to place my houses and i won’t have to pay to move them all
i wish they came out with an update to expand your island 😭
if you know for certain what youre doing with your cliffs and rivers then go ahead, sometimes existing cliffs and rivers serve as a good starting point
@deft plank a lot of people do that, i personally did not because i find working from a blank slate very difficult. if you find it easier, then that's a valid way to design your terraforming
I need help
Mine are in a bit of an awkward mismatched places, and I especially hate where my houses are so I already know it’s going to be a nightmare with bells
Can someone please help me with island design/layouts??!
yeah same @scenic blaze i need something to go off of
I’d restart but I have my babies shep and stitches
sometimes winging it is fun ngl
i’m not sure if i wanna add trees just yet. i wanna move everything around and get it all situated before i put “final touches”
that’s why i took honey’s concepts and made them into my own
@terse terrace trueee
progress pf my flower field :3
to be fair, almost all of my island has changed from its original layout, but if i had to do that all at once i probably would have quit playing out of frustration lol
sometimes, after hours of playing the game, you just look at your map and just feel so happy
It would be great if you could move more than one structure at once too
yeah you don’t want to overwhelm yourself
Someone was asking for waterfall ideas earlier, better late than never!
only thing is now a lot of it is really compact and idk what to do with like 2/3s of my island
this is my map as of today... working on the museum area this week. very rough draft of terraforming in that area and i expect it'll change a lot so i screened it before i started putting in work
Big mood, I just want really quaint forestry vibes
Before and after
@manic lantern flex!
Never give up on your dreams xD
my favorite thing about forest themes is when you look up and you can see trees in the distance with atmospheric fog
you should visit Mcgibbons island
@manic lantern insane 😍😍
i've only had fog once and i live my life waiting to get it again 😭
I didn't even know they had fog
how do u change the happy island designer map to ur map layout
i know his screenshots and i am inspired by that @manic lantern
I think it was mothra who linked me to these and I love the aesthetic of it
what did you guys do with this little area on your island? i don’t know what to put here
@deft plank yaaaaas that's my favorite small entrance inspo
i love those baby waterfalls but i cant do those because im tryna keep my waterfalls linked to a body of water
hello, im looking for some opinions for my island, i just need new people to take a peek at my island and tell me what i should put on my empty space, (keep in mind going for 5 *) please dm me if your interested in helping me out, tyvm
@dim copper not my pic but super pretty!
@terse terrace i had that same feeling about the little waterfalls until i visited lulu and now i have 20 thousand waterfalls
It’s so pretty!! I love that entrance inspo sm so it’s given me lots of ideas
LMFAO i see, yea if i started with baby waterfalls then i would keep doing baby waterfalls
now im too stuck to my island's ruleset
Yesterday I had so much fog to the point I couldn’t see properly and it was hurting my eyes. I had to time travel 😬
@frosty spruce i absolutely love that! thank you!
Dang, i wish my little peninsula thing had that much space! Mine is narrow ;;
for sure!! mine unfortunately is super skinny so i cant do that but i made it work somewhat!
I have a waterscaping problem.. I keep building too many waterfalls
i use my map as a key to balaning out the water, clifs and flat land
not too much bright green, too much dark green or too blue
yeah i didn't care about the map view of my island until i realized how detailed the good parts are and how boring the non good parts are lol
now i use it to track my progress
I am stuck on 4 stars, could anyone let me know what helped them get 5 stars?
This is my map, I like my entrance but I’m not satisfied with the rest. I think I want to move the houses around more but I’m not sure where to move them to. I’m trying to go for a dark/forestry vibe

LOL ROALD IS ANGRY AND HE LOOKS SO STUPID
@tall musk do everything isabelle tells you that you need more of, the stuff she says is whatever your lowest score is rn
omg roald is stomping around being mad and marshal is being sad in the same screenshot wtf
YES HES MOVING OUT
@scenic blaze ok, think she said I need more nook machine things... do you know if I buy these will my score be the same as if I built it myself?
@tall musk the items you buy premade from the nook machine are worth a lot more points than other items if i recall correctly
some of them you can't build (afaik) also, like streetlamps?
What else should i do with my island? (moving all houses to top left)
What should I do in the front you guys?
ooh I like that horizontal setup
@lament reef i love houses scattered across the map for foresty nature maps. i have a residential area rn but as soon as the rest of my island is situated i'm tearing it down since i'm doing a nature theme
Hey I made a few short videos of my island, any help for making it look better is really appreciated 🙂 https://twitter.com/AManictouch
correct
<@&494448231036747777> image spam from @native mural
not funny didnt laugh 🗿
Is there any real disadvantage to not having much of a second level? This is my current layout, and I know that certain fish can only be caught in third tier rivers. I haven’t seen anything about second tier though?
Can yall send you maps? Im thinking of redoing my whole island today 🥺
i need motivation
Where else should i move my stuff im looking to redo most of my island... Any ideas.. help
@tired perch i tried to mention you in a message but i accidentally invited you to a different server OOPs please ignore
@scenic blaze nice! Do you think you’ll use paths to connect them? That’s the other area I keep hesitating with
my map detail is terrible haha
@tired perch anyway if you search for images specifically in the search bar a bunch of us just posted them
all you see is paths everywhere xD
@tired perch anyway if you search for images specifically in the search bar a bunch of us just posted them
@scenic blaze thanks!!
@lament reef not sure about that yet, i think most of them will have some kind of path that connects them to the areas nearby, but not necessarily to each other. i haven't thought that far ahead lol
Once again I am posting updated photos, currently redoing my campsite and removed two of the inclines from my home because I need more to work with.
Feat. Bob
@tired perch
You guys are very creative with your pathing
Working progress, especially the top part, but that's what it's like rn
The film filter really does something to my island 😍
Could you guys send pictures of your residential areas/gated communities? I need some inspiration for mine and I’m sure others do too.
Is this a good map
Baseball Stadium WIP, first day on construction 😄
I just finished my new island entrance
@past jetty what are those statues called?
They're stone lion-dogs
😭 this spa/zen place is taking forever
Could you guys send pictures of your residential areas/gated communities? I need some inspiration for mine and I’m sure others do too.
anyone else feel like their island is super small compared to everyone else? I hope they let us expand later on
or I’m just bad at using space properly
Anyone who has both river mouths on the bottom of the map and whose resident services is close to the airport, what did y'all do with terraforming? I have no ideas
@thorny rapids Loving the subtle detail on the flooring
yeah definitely could always use extra space on the island, but there are a lot of ways to make space
@twin vessel same situation i can show you my enterance !
@dapper ginkgo My island feels like a 2x2 grid compaired to these designs, and I KNOW they are the same size 😂
@twin vessel I don’t have my two rivers connected and I wrapped my resident services in mountains!
New island entrance
cuuuute
You do NOT need to flex this hard all the time 😭😍
I am thinking of doing this for my residencial are and on the square on the left is going to be like a concert hall but i dont know where to put anything else
@broken sparrow I'm not on rn but I'd love to see a photo or something!
Who else is super simple straight line gang ? 👏
I got 8 blocks between dock and residence and the door is one off
The Redd signs, that's adorable lol
Hi! What would you put to this lil area?
My beach I just finished up
Hi! What would you put to this lil area?
@proper flume a waterfall mountain
i wish we had a grid when we go into build mode like sims lol
@proper flume Some form of Able shop extension? Clothes lines?
@glacial snow so beautiful
Oh thank you guys! I think i will mix theese up somehow 😊 i was literally stuck with this 😂
@floral topaz thank you !
They really should allow us to put small furniture on tree stumps 🥺
agreed @drifting zephyr
@wicked drift sorry I didn't have my phone, they are the stone lion-dog diy
Are there any decent looking wooden tables? Like youd imagine nooks cranny putting stock on them?
and they should let us place rugs outside
all i want is a grid for building
What do you guys think of my new entrance?
instead of me wasting slots for a simple blanket
@pale thicket wooden low table diy is my fave
@willow rose precious love the theme colors
@proper flume I would put a little garden shop
@dapper ginkgo yesss hopefully in future updates they will
@scenic blaze Bit too rounded, I need something more like Iron worktable
@proper flume a facemask shrine
@proper flume I would put a little garden shop
@willow rose Thats a great idea too! i need to test what works out best
lol
@floral topaz thank you! Basically white everything 🤪
Wow @isa that is almost the same as mi lne, just a mirror image
@primal fiber what type of island vibe are you trying to go for?
also where is your residencial area? those cant be moved so it might be good to see how you can work around it!
Here are a few impressions of my island so far, feedback and suggestions would be really appreciated!!
@fresh geyser I enjoyed this video tour way too much ! ⭐️
I'd love for anyone to come over and check out my island to see what I could add, if you have any time of course! <3
any words of advice or encouragement before i dig up like 200 flowers to get out of the way to finish terraforming? anything to say before i just die???
also where is your residencial area? those cant be moved so it might be good to see how you can work around it!
@clever night just added it, sorry! also im just trying to organize things in place and i have no idea where to put things (i can terraform)
Craft Shovels
hi guys!! I'm reworking my island, this map isn't 1-1 but I'm still trying to come up with some ideas to fill in the blank spaces. Do yall have any ideas? I'm going for kind of a cottagecore/fairy/natural kind of theme! Yall really helped before so I'm bothering you again hehe
@frail gust please have a garbage can just in case
oh good idea
@frail gust Prepare shovels and place them all on the beach
i need to make a flower area for breeding, but i cant decide where. the red circled area is my residential area and i'm planning on moving all the homes into it, and i'm also going to be moving nooks cranny closer to the airport. where do u guys think would be a good spot for the flowers?
honestly common flowers can just be thrown out lmao
okay. shovels, garbage can. noted.
My villagers houses are literally just lined up, I'll never understand how you creative bunch space them out so well ❤️
You can always ask someone to help
@sick beacon the image is coming up too small for me to read the text 😬
Can someone visit my island and give me feed back? It’s a 5 star but I’m looking to improve
ah you're right, one minute i'll make it bigger
Any ideas or things i should change.. (all houses going to top left) i really just wanna have layout changes.. (i can terraform)
is it worth it to restart someone tell me it’s not so my brain doesn’t make me lose my whole island
Anyone Else decorate the outside of villager houses based on their interior? Like I kept coco's yard brick/pottery themed? Looking for inspiration
aaa any idea to put buildings? 🥺🥺
@reef pine Dont reset, I battle with that mindset erry day
thank you
Anyone need island designing help?
My code is 1VBK8 I'd love people to come by and give me some suggestions! <3
The second I load up my head goes "Ohh this is actually pretty cute"
Opinions on my entrance?
Anyone need island designing help?
@lapis hatch meeeee
Where do people even get ideas for these, my island is just paths and buildings here and there
@woven drift omg that’s so cute
@woven drift How did yall make those circles?
Can i get some help i wanna move things around 🥺 (all houses going top left)
someone help me rearrange my island. specifically my neighborhood
do you guys think there is enough stuff to do a medieval island?
Hmm., it would have to be VERY heavily stone based
@pale thicket place a certain path in a square and smooth them out
@late ruin it could be tiered like have some houses on the third and second levels with room for trees on the cliff tops
I’m not sure but there are iron and stone fences and cobblestone looking fences. Maybe terriform a wall around the town and then put fences on top of it
@woven drift Right im going back to school cuz im dumb af 😂
Lmao
Okay quality dropped but yea I'm looking for ideas for the blank areas that go along with a cottagecore/fairy/natural theme! <3<3
I’m not sure but there are iron and stone fences and cobblestone looking fences. Maybe terriform a wall around the house and then put fences on top of it
@tawdry haven that's a great idea!
@tawny sleet Ooh! like still in the middle where they are, just tiered?
@sudden spear this was posted a couple days ago by someone. If it gives you enough inspiration
I mean my island is always done so I would have to re do it xD
Hey everyone! I have three different paths here, each on a different surface (wood, dirt, stone, or dark dirt) which path do you like best, and on what surface? I'm going for a natural Forest theme (with a touch of white in this specific area)
Oh god yeah those panels look epic
I’m making a natural island with spooky haunted themes
@sudden spear this was posted a couple days ago by someone. If it gives you enough inspiration
@nova geode OMG that looks incredible
I might do that xD ty!!!
Gl!
@late ruin yeah! You can keep the formation cause it looks nice but just have some on cliffs (it does mean you have to have more inclines tho)
Hey everyone! I have three different paths here, each on a different surface (wood, dirt, stone, or dark dirt) which path do you like best, and on what surface? I'm going for a natural Forest theme (with a touch of white in this specific area)
@foggy haven I think the dart dirt looks cool!
Right yall are TOO creative
dark* omg
sorry for reposting its just people are ignoring my post 
can anyone help in placing my buildings? i have no idea where to start
Do you guys know a way to theme a island around something without having to terriform or relocate things that much?
Hate where i put literally every building, any ideas where to put them? I don’t what this mess
@tawny sleet thank you so much!! ❤️ i’m going to try that.
@foggy haven drop them swatches go off
No problem~
does anyone know a good site to look at inspo pics?
Anymore ideas on how to make my entrance more pirate like
What do you guys think about my campsite?
@quiet peak perhaps barrels?
@quiet peak make it more nautical 🙂
@sick beacon you're going with a fairy theme but no enchanted forest 😮 stick one in that big left blank space
@quiet peak maybe you could put sand instead of grass next to it, or like some palm trees maybe
Aight
My code is 1VBK8 I'd love people to come by and give me some suggestions! <3
Please it would mean alot since it's a 2 star island..
@tawdry haven you are gonna have to move stuff regardless because most of us put houses and the museum in random spots at the beg of the game
Evening
How many blocks should I extend the sand
@sick beacon you're going with a fairy theme but no enchanted forest 😮 stick one in that big left blank space
@scenic blaze omg ur completley right 😭 thank you!!
@foggy haven
@tawny sleet I already have resident areas and a shopping area. Every thing is organized it’s just the town looks too generic
ok I’m trying to remodel my island and I need money sooo does anyone have random things for me to do because I’m really broke more money the better 😌
@primal fiber it's not that people are purposefully ignoring your post, it's that starting from a blank slate on someone else's island is very difficult. keep playing around in the island designer until you stumble upon something you like, and work from there.
@tawdry haven how many cliffs do you have? And do you put things on them?
Any ideas? Im looking to move stuff around for my cottage core theme...
@tawny sleet hold on I’ll put a pic of my layout
Thanks for the feedback guys
@woven drift it’s cute! i think once the trees grow it’ll look even better. maybe you could plant some flowers or weeds for even more of a natural look?
@tawdry haven wym the map looks fine
@autumn timber I would put the shops in the middle of your island like a little shopping square!
Does anyone have an extremely terraformed natural island that they could send me a pic of
Woah that looks really good @tawdry haven
But honestly maps show nothing when it comes to in game
My code is 1VBK8 I'd love people to come by and give me some suggestions! <3 Its 2 stars I'll give a ticket to whoever's visits! :)
I mean that when you go in game it’s just the paths are just generic and it doesn’t have a defined style if you know what i mean
@late ruin that actually sounds adorable thank you!!
sorry for reposting its just people are ignoring my post
can anyone help in placing my buildings? i have no idea where to start
@primal fiber I think it would look good for museum to the right side of resident services, your house could be above the airport and nooks cranny to the left of the museum
@autumn timber of course! ❤️
Anyone got some resident entrances ideas?
@round compass
@teal mortar tyy
Top left is still a wip
Lmao, love the island name
@round compass my island theme is natural/foresty. i am still working on the area with the museum and campsite but everything else has been terraformed quite a lot
Did you flatten it @teal mortar then build it up
Yes @round compass
I am creating an ancient greek style island any ideas?
@teal mortar Do you have a picture of what the cliffs look like around your rs?
@tawdry haven are you going for village/ town vibes? Cause you want to make every area cohesive with what makes sense for it to be there. Like for example, if you have a residential area think about what is usually around them and what connects to residential areas irl.
@foggy haven yeah I can take a few. My island is still 3 star Its still a wip
@round compass Another to throw into the mix I need to build up the left hand side a bit this week
Oooo amazing
@tawny sleet yeah but I’m not really trying to go for a regular town tho
@bronze grove i did it for a couple areas, but it's kinda difficult without marble pillars
@teal mortar hey, no shame in that. Mine is as well.
@tawdry haven so what are you going for?
@nova geode what are those pillars? winter seasonal?
@grim pasture yep!
@tawny sleet I’m not exactly sure but I really like those imperial and zen towns but the only stuff I could do is craft the zen fence and that Chinese looking fence
Trying to figure out other styles people have
I’m clearing an area and it’s taking suuuper long
Hiya does anyone know of any codes that have a path with a slant so it can be curvy lmao:)
No clue where to put my museum, any ideas?
@whole pike i like your turtle pond lol
Ty lol
Lmao
@distant pawn
I’m clearing an area and it’s taking suuuper long
@deft plank That's how I spent my weekend on this game. It sucked!
@teal mortar Oh! I like that, especially the last two pics. Thank you for sharing.
@hollow horizon tysm !! Been looking everywhere
@versed wadi it’s going to be worth it I hope! I mapped out a little plan for how I want things placed so fingers crossed
No prob!
@vast cradle how many blocks should I extend the sand
Anyone wanna See my secret beach? I think its Missing something.
I think I was able to make a nice Japanese residential area (anime park vibes is what I was going for)
@deft plank keep us posted
I shall 😄
This is my current plan, but I think I want the shops further back, like maybe behind the river
Thoughts on where to put them? Also, any ideas on how to bring the east side of my river closer to the front of my island without making it look super weird
@quiet peak kinda hard to know just based on the screenshot, just whatever looks good to you 🙂
Okay

I wish someone would design my island for me 😂😂
Should i change this? Im going for a cottage core theme? Please @ me or DM me!! Photos appreciated!!
I wish someone would design my island for me 😂😂
@safe tree Same i have no Idea what i am doing
Meh its Just mushs. Nothing Special
I made a little school area (I don’t have the right coloration of desk/chair yet but when I do I’m gonna add another)
