Maybe cuz where I'm from I'm just super biased lmao
@gaunt knot omg your island looks cute from that pic alone
well more specifically the white variants
Are you guys planting different bushes?? Or
hah that’s just an inspo pic, i’m tryna build that but i need helppp ahh
yes I'm excited for the pretty bushes to grow
I did three tier housing and I hated mine lol
why haha
I swear the more I see of other islands the sadder I become about mine haha
On god same
I’m doing tier housing but on curved cliffs
I have 2 areas I'm actually confident in, the rest just feels like it sucks
I didn't give the houses enough space and it looked dumb 😔
noo
I’m happy with my houses so far
Currently in the process of reterraforming and moving everything for the 3rd time
I did spring and winter bushes bc the azaleas are out of season this month
Those houses are so cute
Ugh Fr ima just tt to May when someone visits to see my azaleas
I’m happy with my houses so far
@woven drift The placemnt swap was a good call 🙂
here’s more island inspo of mine
heres a section of my place so far.
I'm not doing themes for mine i dont think besides genji and marina
Who's the bottom house? @woven drift
@versed wadi I ended up completely redoing something else too lol plus I added this next to Pekoe’s
lmao i was thinking that too. only living in spring. the other bushes don't fit my theme
Bike rental place at the entrance to my new park. Not sure I have the room for it though, might need to rethink this…
someone help me make a cute neighborhood aghhh i’m not creative
@versed wadi that is a awesome idea! Looks great!!
Anyone have a design code for the sacks of soil/seed for a garden?
I'm just scattering my houses now because my neighbourhood ended up way too cluttered
my houses are all spread out
Made way for Redd too
I have a big themed area for each villager
now that my island’s starting to shape up, i want to make a neighborhood, but i have no idea where to start!
any tips/help? 🥺
💓
Awesome work @woven drift
I'm also stuck.. all the other islands are so beautiful..
I have some things I wanna make but I'm waiting to get the right furniture for
@oblique vapor tysm 🥺 had to terraform again for it lol
Here is an island map progress collage I made~
I wish I took progress photos of mine 😔
Anyone have any good lake designs
good neighborhood, town, etc designs?
Shape it like fish..
@echo sparrow Top right would be a great place for a horizontal neighborhood. Perhaps with two layers even, since you already have that terraformed.
@tender harbor would you recommend second and third layer or first and second?
this is a WIP af af but i feel pretty proud
i just feel like i have a lot of empty space ;-; also: would my villagers still go to the left side of my town if all their houses are on the top right? 
alright, gonna move my villagers from the central residential area. Planning to rescape the area and only have 3 villagers on that one
@echo sparrow I would do second and third. That leaves room on the bottom for more stuff. However, if you wanted to move your house and the other player's house, I'd put you guys on the third and then villagers on the first and second
anyone got any cool entrances from airport without waterfalls
my entrance is so close together it was kinda difficult but i think im gonna change it
It's very pretty! But you know the right one is smaller right? :-3
Maybe that's intentional
that is cute
I like all the villagers fishing haha. It's cute!
yeah i didnt want it to be equal lol but the left one is crooked accidentally 😂
Ah okay
@gaunt knot love the image with fauna, so cool how you used terraforming
This is my entrance
I has a small waterfall on mine
My entrance is pretty basic, but I’m not too mad at it
i want cliff bridges
Here’s my entrance, kept it simple but I kinda like it
@twilit hare teh actual pyramid furniture
agreed
I built a pyramid and intended to put something RARE or SPECIAL on the top!! Could someone recommend or suggest what i shoud put??
@twilit hare So well done!
alternatively the moon
can someone show me some villager areas?

Idk how to do my entrance bc if I do a path directly from my airport to my rs, it's aligned to the end which isn't the worst but I can't use symmetry wihtout heavily using the one side
If that makes sense
What should I put on these 9 spots?
Yea, the moon is the first that comes to mind mcgibbbon - would make for aswesome screenshots aswell
My island is sort of inspired by new orleans and has a bayou villager area, but I also have villagers living in the main town
my tiny library
What should I do here?
@woven drift flowers, bushes, or lights!
Does anyone have their campsite on the beach
Thank you @karmic pike !!
Need some help with this hopeless entrance
Has anyone worked with this sort of entrance layout and made the waterfall platforms look more natural? I need some help x.x
Rip I have the same issue @nimble shuttle
Any ideas to add to this part of my island, all ideas are very appreciated, (I added more mush lamps it’s just not shown in the vid)
@golden nest the lain of havibg close entrance
@nimble shuttle maybe some benches and fountains or vending machines, or touristy stalls
Like a little marketplace
^ I second this
I made a small zoo
Flower garden?
cycle hire stand, then design a sign for it that I can steal, because… pixel art 🙂
any pics from flower gardens/area's?
@versed wadi I'm starting a bike rental area too. I might work on that sign haha
any shroom ideassss, chillen w my gnomie
Is this a good place? I thought it fits well to my shopping plaza
rip to me i hate my current layout so im redoing it all,, takes like 30 mins per square to clear it (not counting all the items, lakes, buildings etc) UGHH
Is this a good place?🥺
@versed wadi I'm starting a bike rental area too. I might work on that sign haha
@woven drift Pls do 😆
@woven drift Pls do 😆
@woven drift do you need any of the items from mine? I think I might abandon it. I've got a new plan for my museum area now.
anyone have vertical rows of villager houses? If so what spacing do you have in the back and front of houses?
plz send me neighborhood ideas, pics, layouts, etc. Ty!
omg me too please!! i need inspo/ideas for a cute neighborhood layout
@versed wadi nah I'm good, thanks! 🙂
Tropical island inspo??
zen garden area!! thoughts????? feedback is appreciated! (also it looks better at night when the lanterns turn on)
💓
@echo sparrow looks nice! I like the minimalist style, the paths, and the ponds. Doesn’t feel too cluttered, so very zen indeed.
It was odd seeing the hearth there tho because I think that long vertical rod is meant to extend into a ceiling indoors, hehe. Maybe you could add more zen/bamboo items as you find them as well.
How do I get tagbacktv to tour my island? Lol
@woven drift yeah the heart was my main concern i think ;o;
im definitely gonna add like maybe the bamboo basket and stuff as i find room for it. thanks for the feedback!
@echo sparrow more bamboo
@woven drift is that Lucky's house?
Which one?☺️ @versed wadi
The black and white one
"something wicked in these woods"
WIP for fairytale forest~
It's her house! Sorry, idk the name in english, would be happy to know it
Could anyone give me ideas for my island’s entrance? Its really close to resident services so theres not much i can do
Excuse the terrible quality provided by a broken phone
Or some streetlamps
Anyone got any island layout ideas for a foresty area
Hey everyone, I finally finished the exterior of my island and only have 1 more room to do in my main character house before I build up my second characters house for holiday decor. I’d love to invite people over to come look around. 😊
Hiii I’m really struggling to figure out what to do for my entrance! I’m going for a natural look and need some help with terraforming ideas!
Is this a good place?
Hey guys any ideas what i should do with this?
@golden nest try and do another tier of waterfall, and stagger it diagonally towards your RS, put in a diagonal bridge too
@woven drift what if innocent young children walk past?
@royal oar put some roses around 😊
@woven drift what if innocent young children walk past?
@gritty comet it's a shopping area for big boys & girls !
My entrance is also directly next to the RS (: worked my way around it
@golden nest if you can scroll up, i believe someone called Cloud(?) has an amazing natural entrance
@faint path that looks amazing 😲
How can I fix this so it doesn't look so awkward.
I think my entrance is pretty much done lol
Holy
@stark mauve ty 🙂
dang thats grand. Still waiting for redd to come back haha
@copper timber how do you possess that amount of creativity
with statues TT
I think my entrance is pretty much done lol
@copper timber ooof! That's a nice entrance!
@wraith veldt I made several hidden spots all with a forest theme. Again, excuse the video forced to be taken in selfie mode haha. Also these videos are a few days old so it’s gotten better since
Tysm ❤️ that’s gorgeous and I’ll definitely take some inspiration from that!
@golden nest aww thank u!! it’s all about having an idea and trial and error tho hah
i am too, @swift stag is a legend
@versed wadi thanks!
@main jay Interesting, like how it's coming along
What things have you guys put on your islands? Cafes, orchard, zen gardens? I'm curious
hold on that was an ugly picture
@stoic yew so cute! Why not check out crafting services? 🙂
My entrance is a forever work in progress haha
excuse the random stall, I was doing trades with people lol
Wow thats really cool
hoooly
thank you!
any entrance/plaza ideas? my plaza is pretty close to the entrance
How can I fix this so it doesn't look so awkward.
@woeful bough terraform sides to be even
my entrance! my town name is moonbun so i wanted to incorporate it :3
I’m not sure what the place to post this is but, does anyone know how to get this fountain?
@lusty rampart
I kept planting more white hyacinths in my field and now the framerate CHUGGGS!
@cold spoke aww cutee
@unique pond You’re the sweetest!
hehe sorry for accidentally invoking your name
ty!! @lusty rampart
tfw u mess up and now the bridge doesn't fit sad
here’s my entrance and idk what to do 😔
I'd build cliffs and make a path to the resident services
And plant trees. if you're going for natural vibe
should i destroy this entire area?
with waterfalls and stuffs?@grim cosmos
Yes
i'll try doing that! thank you!!
@mighty dune it looks good! don't
I call this area… "The field of dropped frames!"
What other suggestions would u give with the exception of resident area, plaza, nooks cranny, ables, museum to fill up the island ?
oops
because im planning to move the museum there and dedicate an entirely new build for it but at the same time im not sure if i should @woven drift
oh my god. And I thoughtI had too many flowers haha
If anyone could send pictures of their museum 🥺 need some inspo ty!
seeing all of these beautiful island layouts really making me insecure 😳 🥺
@dusty goblet Drive-in theater, cafe (done a lot), arcade, amusement park, pool area, library!
Drive in theatre and amusement park sounds great !! I’m planning to do a manga cafe instead of a library 😃 @karmic pike thank you
I just cant think of an entrance
Drive in theater? I want that!
drive in theater?? I wanna see
well this is my museum but i dont think its an ideal design lol
@dusty goblet No problem! And ooh I love the idea of a manga cafe! 😄
@void cypress
I’m not sure what the place to post this is but, does anyone know how to get this fountain?
@gritty comet the diy is sold for nook points
Anyone know anywhere I can find those 2d plans for islands that people have already made??
Does anybody have a shopping center they can share? I need some inspo 😩
This is my museum
This is my museum
aight this follow this
@mighty dune I was unsure whether to display fossils but this looks good!!
This is my first attempt at designing my island entrance and though I'm sort of happy with it, I have trouble making all these waterfalls look natural, as of right now they are simply loose platforms. I'm going for a natural, magical, cozy, sort of Atlantis themed thing, which is very specific but anyway x'D Any feedback or tips on how to improve it in a more natural direction while still keeping the idea, or should I scrap it all together and redo?
@dusty goblet i did an enchanted forest area, a hidden graveyard, a waterfall shrine, a stargazing area. Going to also do an outside gallery type thing to show off expensive and gold items etc
@green wedge thankyou!!
Anyone know how I can like reset my island
I want to completely like get rid of the river and cliffs etc to start from scratch
I’m guessing a long painful terraform is the only way
Yep
I like using some of the nontraditional fossils as rocks haha
Yeah or restart game aha
Well here goes to a week of my life dedicated to terraforming a flat island 😂
Do you guys think they’ll add additional shops?
Did you flatten it ye @faint sigil
@main pasture thank you for the inspiration! I’ll try to attempt a hidden waterfall shrine ! 😮 that sounds rly mystical
No......
Don’t do it
Hopefully Brewster comes back 🙏
Oh really?
Yeah don’t that’s gonna make it worse
I’m wanting to completely change it up tough
@feral vale I use paths and I dig stuff and count
like how do u line it up side by side or even across
Just use the “let me imagine it” before you confirm spot
^
@woven drift ah that sounds reasonable
You can count tiles too
Very true
@feral vale I usually dig holes and try to estimate how to line up things perfectly with other buildings/decorations adjacent to it!
I drop weeds to measure
guess digging holes is the way haha
Genius @green wedge
Asymmetry is my best friend
Or anything actually but I have a lot of weeds so
Glo up
Damn sis u rlly went off
Anyway @faint sigil me too remove every single thing, cliffs and river and houses before I started designing
I put all my houses on the beach so I could remodel it took forever
Actually I changed my map this morning oops let me send that
at the beginning it was quite overwhelming cause it’s a big patch of empty land but I ended up liking it cause it’s like drawing on a blank canvas
Is there a way to stop weeds from growing?
i havent even got terraforming yet like at what stage does it unlock
my house is fully upgraded already
Not that much of a difference except I made way for Redd and the secret beach and made a mythical forest in that area
i havent even got terraforming yet like at what stage does it unlock
@feral vale
what is your island rating
@feral vale
what is your island rating
@tired perch still 2 lol
Listen to isabelle
ah i see thankss!
get the 3
Does any body have some shopping district inspiration?
love how your river mouths are already symmetrical to each other hh that makes it so much easier to layout things
Would my museum look strange in my shopping area?
any opinions on this
@green canopy it’s weird cause most people hate the two river mouths haha
that looks really good
@mighty dune
@mighty dune holy crap that looks amazing
What? I love the two river mouths
thanks
@woven drift well I think you did an amazing job! ⭐
I hate the single rivers. I need symmetry
The two south river mouths?
I wish my plaza was farther from my airport it sucks
@green canopy tysm 🥺
@green canopy yeah that’s true. I guess the people that wanna go for more of a natural looking island hates it but as for us, we like the symmetry haha
Real life rivers are too bendy and unpredictable
me at all islands regardless: yes good amazing-
Anyone here play Sun and Moon?
@mighty dune also the 2 levels of your restaurant/diners vibe are great!
oh thanks lol
i like,,,, stairs,, hhj,, I wish I can exceed more than 8 lol
I'm trying to make my island like the ones in Alola. Starts off as a city then trails into nature
i should really manage my campsite for a bit
@wraith veldt thats a great idea!
also same idk what to do with all the flowers mass producing lol
@woven drift convenient place, not too far from airport/house
i just let them do their 🌻 thing
Man. I look at these and just, damn, I liked my island and it was a lot of hard work. Now I just feel it kinda sucks. Lol.
I want to put my shops on a cliff but idk how to make it flow. Also will need to move them before I terraform xD
Anyone make any dance/night clubs?
@grim cosmos my Able's is on a cliff surrounded by cliffs
So pretty I wanna do something like that
Anyone have any good terraformed lakes
I firmly believe Cliffs > Fences for making areas flow together 🙂
@unique pond Okay I want to keep it modern / royal
Sorry for lazy pic but could i make that work here?
@woven drift then possibly hedges and bushes?
@unique pond nice idea, thanks!
also don't judge my map it's obviously under construction
heyy i need some ideas to fill some empty space and i know theres so much i could add but honestly i cant think of anything.
Sorry for lazy pic but could i make that work here?
@grim cosmos if not that, then definitely something similar 🙂
do you guys think this island would be possible?????? Or would i be wasting my timr
Possibly, but would look a little more geometric
Oki imma move the shops and see what I can do. My concern is blocking off the beach which i dont want
thanks, i think i’ll just try something else incase it comes out horribly sjsjsj
finished duck pond! 🦆
i need some ideas to fill empty space. can someone help please
Cute!
hi guys!! could i get some critique on my farm? i made it a few days and would love some feedback / suggestions on what i could add
Can anyone tell me. Truthfully please. What they think of this layout. I wanted to go for a tierd island But i don’t know what to do with the bottom and don’t know if i should just start over. Be honest please
@bitter helm i assume you’re not completely finished with it but it looks a little empty! paths could really help strengthen the map 🙂
@sharp onyx i love it! add a garden wagon in there if you can. and the cushion is a little random to me, not sure why
We’ll paths don’t show on the map but I really don’t know what to do with the bottom
decided I wanted to give all of my villagers little personalized front yards. Based off the colors of the outside of the houses and their inside decor
is there a minimum river width for fish to spawn
@ripe quarry I'm doing that too ❤️
@sharp onyx i love it! add a garden wagon in there if you can. and the cushion is a little random to me, not sure why
@unique pond "Just add a Garden Wagon" - Yeah it's alright for some with all their amazing furniture 🙂
i want to have an area to put my villagers, any ideas? i currently have all 10 houses right now btw
Except I'm basing it off their themes
@unique pond thank you! the cushions were meant to be fertiliser bags haha so i thought maybe placing them more random would make more sense. but yes i love the garden wagon! actually collecting materials to make one rn ! 💕
Anyone have pictures of what the front of their villagers house looks like?
I love seeing people give their villagers a lil love,,, its even better after seeing em water the flowers or sweep the stones ;v; @wraith veldt
Posting my villager love again since it’s relevant lol
The last pic is next to Pekoe’s
This is the museum and the little island under it
@versed wadi gardennnn wagonnnnn 😦 😦 😦 hahaha
so cuuuuute denise!!!!! i love this om g
is anyone else freaking out slightly with what they should do with their island when all these updates get added to the game... like where am i supposed to put 3 new shops 😭
@sharp onyx ah i see! so interesting haha. yeah maybe a more random placement for the fertiliser could work. it looks a little odd lying in the middle of the field on the floor, but unfortunately we can't stack many things / place things diagonally
@royal wyvern ikr, like I just put fires all around Pheobe's house and caught her outside warming her hands (wings?) next to one 🔥
Molly's garden:
wait 3 more shops wh a t COUGH SPOILERS please
Shep's Surf Shack 🙂
Wait what new shops? @sharp onyx
oops wrong lia BUT I love this also for some reason i didnt consider giving mine different fences
I’m gonna make Lily a library, I started making Ribbot a gym, and ima make Bob a playground kind of thing. Lucky, a graveyard. Idk what exactly to do yet for Sprinkle
yeah wrong lia lmao
@ripe quarry supposedly it’s been leaked!! no idea when they plan to do another update but ahh
Dobbie's Writing retreat
@versed wadi ahh that looks so good !!
dang ive been spoiled 😔
Question: Do you all put your residents together or are they all diff parts of your island?
now that ive got this information time to destroy everything lmao
I love seeing personalized villager houses 🥺
yeaaaa @versed wadi knows how to bring his A game
omg sorry if i spoiled!! i completely forgot that not everyone knows about this stuff yet 😓
Some are together in a little village. The rest are spread out
Mine are in two little rows by teirs
3 shops uhhhh they better give me an island expansion
Can I get other people’s opinions on my layout and maybe some suggestions or if I should start over
6 on one tier, then 4 on top
crawls on ground,,,, brewsterrr bls,,,
What is all the 3 shop chat? Have i missed something?
I have 5 on one side and 5 on the other side. My shops and resident services are between them.
Can we get more villagers so I can invite Tia and Merengue and make a cafe between their houses?
there’s been a leak of up to 3 shops being added to the game in the near future! @versed wadi
oh cool!
Wow I have like no space lol
i need help planning out my island ;.; any tips?
I thought it was only 2, but hey, I still got space
imagine everyone crying as they terraforms their island once again to fit the new 3 shops,,,
I actually feel the no space thing. I'm still in the process of ripping up the orchard i no longer need. Thank goodness I haven't built a second house yet because I was highly considering it to turn into a beachside cafe
@green canopy praying for the people with perfectly symmetrical islands rn
what should be in my plaza/downtown area guysss???
I want an orchard but I don’t even have a space for it
My island is almost filled to the brim
@unkempt burrow Your island name is superb 🦑
prayer circle guys 🕯️ 📿 🙏🏽
I would have to put those shops on the tertiary level but 
I want an orchard but I don’t even have a space for it
@woven drift I had one planned, but I'm weighing up ditching it for more space around the museum
I don't need the bells anymore hat i was getting from the orchard orginally. still going to keep a small one to fit with my farmers market area but hhhh
i need help putting my nookshop and able sisters somewhere, plus i’ve never seen any cute museums on the first level and now idk what to do :/
@wraith veldt thank you ;v;
Can I see your entrances
@versed wadi yes I had to ditch mine for this zen area and my mythical forest ;-;
i’m currently just turning any empty spots i have into fairy forests
that's so pretty... i cant wait to get the mushroom diy's omg
Ballonea vibes
Here’s mine. Also leads to Redd
Where my Pokemon fans at?
thank you guys!! got super lucky with finding the lamp DIY
i want,,, to visit an island somehwat like New Leaf's Aika village
gimme the spooks pls
I just want some regular'ass mushrooms
@green canopy check youtube! i’ve seen a couple of horror islands and it’s sooooo amazing ......
ooof I will definitely!!
Working on my nooks cranny exterior atm (:
awww
We need more food and drinks like really
@faint path you’ve definitely got to add a parking spot with two tricycles for timmy and tommy HAHA
p-pumpkins! what season is that
Garden wagons are life
@sharp onyx THIS IDEA Is Gold omg I will!!!
@woven drift obsessed with the nova lamps ahhhh need it !!
Why can't we sit on rocks anymore
@green canopy im in October atm lol

Sense we were talking about it. Speculation. Spoliers of course
There is plenty to keep you busy in Animal Crossing New Horizons at the moment. There's the new art gallery in the museum, Nook’s Cranny has been upgraded yet again, the Able sisters have set up shop, and merchants come to visit your little slice of paradise on a regular basis...
@sharp onyx beautiful 😍😍😍
@sharp onyx omg that’s so cute 🥺🥺👉👈 do u have the code for those wooden planks?
^^
i think i have the code! let me find it really quick
There should be a button to blowup my island lmao - taking down stuff takes bricks
Send it to me too plsss
Anyone have a good QR for something like a deck ?
Check the path codes channel! Im sure theres a lot there that you can just browse thru
MA- 6352-6078-6250
is the code for the floor boards!!
All of the ones I found for like deck work no longer worked ( granted I looked like a week ago
@bitter helm check tumblr! #acnhcodes usually has really cute ones or even #acnhpath
I broke pekoe
@versed wadi did you put your nooks near sables? or how did you decide to place them
@woven drift omg what 😭 howw lmfao
Map layout:
I might move Nooks, I've got a really nice vista happening behind it and it's kinda in the way
Omg, it's like NintendoLand <3
Map layout:
@versed wadi
I think I might put sables on a cliff on its own as well. Realized the two stores would call for a large cliff and i’m not sure if i want that
i would die if my villager called me shawty
I agree your map is lovely! Love the cliffs and rivers
I wanna see the walk from the entrance to the RS
Where?
You can't move it so it's just what you're stuck with
I actually feel that struggle RYNH, mine is lower E3 and my airport is F2/3 , if only I had known ahead of time 🤧
maybe i just have no creativity 
im scared to do anything without a proper plan
Then take a pic of ur map and draw something over it or use a island design web thing
Just work on parts of the island, smaller projects that work up into the whole island
if you need to plan though then you can
thank u island layout gang ill keep that in mind
Japan/studio ghibli themed
@grim cosmos this is the walk around my RS and shops https://twitter.com/pipwyn/status/1255269737136820225?s=20
A quick dash around my resident services and retail locations. #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #ACNHDesigns https://t.co/XIWpBUaX6a

EEEEK so excite lemme see
omg that's so nice
WOWWOW that flow
can u move inclines?
I'm so impressed!!!
You have to deconstruct and then build again to move inclines and bridges
dam
yeah it's a really irritating system
i like the idea of cliffs surrounding the plaza
might yoink
@versed wadi do you have a picture of ur island layout?
imagine paying 168m for a bridge and demolishing it to build another
m or k
That's the view that my Nook's is currently obstructing (Camera let me clip round it)
I feel xD oh and parts of my studio ghibli/japan themed since no vids lol
ok so this is something similar to what i want my end goal to be (im not expecting it to be perfect) but i really really want my shopping area to be inside of a heart, I will probably delete the 2nd river on the left side tho so i have more space for playground, cafe, gym, etc.
looks so nice!
oh dang
i like the street
Ty ;c ;
What if you put the nooks cranny below the cliff that ables is on
Youd have to terraform down a bit to make room
Anyone have inspiration pics for a tiered museum?

@fringe carbon be careful, you can only have 8 bridges and 8 inclines, I count more on your map right now !
What colours work nicely with white?
Any
@idle cave red!
Trying to make a winter area for all the winter based villagers I have
I move them to a part of the island where i'm not working with 1 space in between them to make it a little more sufficient. Then I put them back or destroy the ones i decide I don't want
You can’t
Oh boy
I reset my island because I wanted double south river and now i absolutely hate it.
My museum, rainbow garden, and dump. Might change the dump into a market setup with more villagers behind it. https://twitter.com/annachibi/status/1257953958292684800
How wide do you guys usually make your rivers?
3 or 4, I have a 5 portion just to make the bridge big lol
vary between 3 or 4 usually, depends on what the curve of the river is doing
Course if you don't care about fish spawns, you can make them tiny
3-4 as well, mainly 4
4 looks good vertical mostly
I stick to 3, the less dead space used up by rivers the better in my opinion
Yeah 3 is good for seeing across too
Can somebody link their fencing around the house? I need help with something
Would you recommend moving buildings first or terraforming rivers first
The house being any of the villager's
Move them if you think they'll be in the way
Am I gonna regret moving my shops only to move them again but on top of a cliff
I bet my town will be super different in a few months lol
Accept that you're going to keep moving buildings 🙂
I think I've moved my museum 8 times this week
I just find it annoying when all my stuff is too far apart
Fair enough
I'm planning a spot for a future Brewster's if they bring it
I want my museum nook shop townhall and able sisters all near eachother. But thats just me
I really hope they add brewsters
I wanted my museum up in the back for stargazing
What does the museum have to do with that
Celeste is Blathers' sister
Can I see how you guys do river curves
Museum prob will be hardest for me cuz I’ve never had any ideas for it
Celeste is Blathers' sister
@wet cliff Make sense!
I know... but theres no observatory added (yet?)
Yeah but I like the idea anyway haha
Can buildings be placed on the third layer?
Tho so far friends have wished on stars on the bridge in my plaza
Yeah
It never stops curving, but I'm trying to have it so my river is mostly cutting through cliffs.
Yup anything but 4th
Im leaving all my river the same for now... its too much power to redo them lol
I feel like my river is boring and divides land too much
I like that area you have to the right though. Reminds me of breath of the wild
Im leaving all my river the same for now... its too much power to redo them lol
@feral adder Smart move. I disconnected the left mouth and had to reconnect it, it took me about 4hrs for it not to look pants!
I specifically chose the island with the smaller island in the middle so that i could make it island-ception
Haha very nice
I wanna see that right part of your island in game with all the tiny islands that looks sick
can someone send some house grid ideas? i dont know where to put my little town of houses and how many spaces between each
ankhas house location is complete
Yay. I got 5 stars. Island is nowhere near complete and is a mess at the moment. Do the lilly of the valleys cross breed or how do they flower
now i just need to find an ankha
My bf was like ‘youre gunna regret that so much’ but jokes on him my mini cherry oasis is awesome and i dont regret it lol
I want to see the path going north west from the RS to the museum garden
@shadow socket I believe it's a 1/7 chance or something per day to have one grow on the island
I'm assuming it only spawns if you stay at 5 star
I would guess so, not actually 5 star myself I've just heard that it's the case
@versed wadi I like how people have their own areas 😄
I wanna see that right part of your island in game with all the tiny islands that looks sick
@feral adder I think it looks better on the map than at ground level.
Maybe when the weeds grow out, it'll look more marshy
Ah yeah no i think you made it look the best the game will allow. It still looks really cool
I want to see the path going north west from the RS to the museum garden
@grim cosmos That's that path
I tried to do something similar and make a canyon going through my island with different shapes and it did not look right at all. Yours looks more organic than my attempt
That looks like an ac post card^^
That nooks is covering
@grim cosmos Yeah it leads out to the flower fieldn/windfarm
Changed almost all flowers to hybrids now in my jungle 😄
@versed wadi I like how people have their own areas 😄
@shell tiger Thanks, it does mean I have 0 space for anything much else though.
Changed almost all flowers to hybrids now in my jungle 😄
@shell tiger nice mix of trees. Looks alive!
@versed wadi Yea but like, you incorporated like the areas you would have with the people, So if you had a farm, you now made it her farm, or the café being apples. I dont think you are really missing out on something then
@grim cosmos That's the design of the actual path if that's what you meant?
Yea I love green haha, I need to plant more trees, I cut down my orchard so I can plant more now... I had too many trees and Isabelle said people were getting lost in the woods missing their tv shows lol
Mood
Any specially made areas for DIY exchange? I want to pretty up a zone for one.
Any specially made areas for DIY exchange? I want to pretty up a zone for one.
@errant tartan I've seen a load of stalls to make a market for them 🙂
and then when not in exchange mode you can decorate with items.
Lulu's new curiosity market is a good example.
She posted this revamp earlier 🙂
This is a big ask guys, but is there anyone willing to create me an island through the island designer thing? I’ll send photos of my island shape etc and tell you what I want because I’m awful at putting it all together
If you think you’re interested then @ me so I see 👍
anybody got town designs :(
@tame stag what style town are you looking for?
just anything, i dont know where to place my houses, and how far apart they should be
Can i get more advise? XD
What kind of advise?
Advice
There's no set rule, You can make most layouts work. @swift stag has a great vertical town walkthrough if you're looking for inspiration. (Hoping she reposts as I forgot to save them).
hi everyone
Any ideas for a beautiful airport entrance without waterfalls or rivers? I got 2 southern river ends .-.
Does anyone have any snowy blocks?
This one is weird... how can i make these paths go together nicer? It looks like the one on the left is out if place
I'm trying to think of stuff that would work in terms of winter themed
@idle cave I got a frozen tree
I keep seeing these island layouts with a centered nooks admin building. Is there any way to move that or did these people get lucky or???
ankhas house location is complete
@frozen axle do you have a code for the design ?
o.o
@versed wadi I think you’re referring to this photo?
@bitter helm you can’t move it
I am!
Yes! 🙂 my houses are aligned 2x5 🙂
Love it, it works so well with the curved horizon, It made me want to start messing with perspective in the game more.
Oh that path design is so neat @versed wadi !!
Should have called it chaos
I hate forever that i put my townhall 2 blocks to the right of the airport entry so my path up is all janky
Doesnt even look like a noodle
Or a cape
Yeah my brother named it
do you have a picture of your islands layout by any chance :d
Yes! 🙂 my houses are aligned 2x5 🙂
@swift stag
I wanted to call it Novoselic
@stiff fiber
I'm a little unhappy with it but thank you for the compliment @feral adder
Hi guys I’ve made an island design thing, but I need to use up more space and I don’t know what to put in them, anyone got any ideas?
Oh My- It's Beautfiul
Looks great!
Nooo! Its super silly cute. Im pretty sure on ac city folk i named mine ‘craptown’ so youre good
Thanks, but I don’t know what to put in most spaces 😂, I planning on having a diner campsite and jungle area but I’m not sure about anything else😅
For any of the older ac players i put a town dump in mine like they had in the old games
How can I make my rivers better 😓
I like the heart river
I like the heart river tooo aw
Its rlly nice
Top left looks like a boot
For any of the older ac players i put a town dump in mine like they had in the old games
@feral adder I had one before upgrading me house 😂
That is a well put together heart island!
Thank you guys! 🥰 omg yes I need to get rid of that boot
Heart pond too oooo
Should I make the right river more straight or leave as is
It looks nice
Nah keep it kinda wavy
You can build a lot of nice things around that layout! Mabye add a flower garden in the heart?
Honestly if it was me id make it more S shaped but thatz me
okay so ive been moving all of my buildings to the beach so i can terraform my whole island.., but im such a noob with terraforming and making it look good! anyone have any ideas? or tips?
Off youre brave
I actually have a picnic set up in the heart!
Uff*
Oh my god I’ve been in winter for 2 days I go back to spring and it looks so eierd
Oooh nice
You've got a great start with those cliffs and rivers. I'd enhance what you have there, as opposed to flattening it 🙂
Anyone giving their villagers individual decorated lawns? How are you decorating your jock villagers areas? Any workout themes? Or any lawn furniture layouts in general
Does anyone know any sites I can use to find custom path qrs
I need to find one that fits well with the theme of winter
thank you @versed wadi !
But I for the love of god am unable to find any
My houses are really close together, so I’m aging little objects by each house but mainly having a shared lawn per area
Tumblr @idle cave an account called acnhcustomdesigns
Ty (:
I watched ppls videos and streams and kinda took inspiration from different things for terraforming and im taking it slow and doing small parts at a time just so i dont get overwhelmed trying to pull everything together
Search for snow or winter animal crossing path qr codes
This straight pathway is really turning out to be hella cute
It’s real cute
Very cute
Might put some white azaleas either side of the stall
I need my purple hydrangea to make mooore
The setup is adorable.
Im not down with the flower stuff i dont get it so i dont touch it lol
Oh I love it 😄
Green grass looks so weird after being in winter 😭
Its a really cool feature but my brain cannot with it lol
It looks a bit sad right? Should I change the flower colors
Lmao
Remove the fences
Or replace them with hedges
Yeh those fences are harsh
Yeah
Or maybe lattice would look nice if you want variation
Yeah^
Also it’s raining so it’s giving you a gloomy setting
yoyo opinion on the layout i wanna do?
Sure @woven drift
this
I finally bred enough flowers to do this today
Oh I saw that on reddit ages ago it’s cute
Looks tough maybe make it your own version
Town hall position is impossible yeah
That setup is OP
Mayors house sad face rip tortamire
@woven drift don’t think it‘a possible due to no maps having a river mouth placement like that or town hall in that corner
Mine I want like this, the circled thing is a waterfall
I mean if he chose the map with the island on the island then he could do somethi close
There's only 8 villager houses
10 actually
Did someone mention hyrbids
They meant on the mock up there are only 8 houses
Thanks for the feed back I’ll try a different fence!
Those some pink boyyess
Ohh
Yessss
Yee
You can technically only have 8 houses
i can edit the town hall part, and i have the permits needed-
Did your island come with tiny asses
you can't move the town hall
ik i cant
Dang lol my pink windflower doesn't wanna make more either
Did someone?
I have over 2,000 flowers on my island
I have way more than this
So much pink
Lmao
You counted?
I have so many, regular, normal, flowers
It’s been a long quarantine
Ikr
Lol it has
I'm high risk so I'm gonna be in longer than most ppl
I live in the OC so gunna get it just because i live in a conservative area with protestors like why they gotta do that
It’s uh, symmetrical
I couldn't cover everything in flowers, I like popping balloons
Sahara on ma island lol
Ye I like symmetry
Mine I want like this, the circled thing is a waterfall
@woven drift that's not possible
i found a more difficult, but more possible layout, opinions on this one?
Very symmetrical
not possible, no south river
That looks so hard brooooo
What’s with the hate of symmetry crying
Its an art rule
i- you can edit in rivers? is everyone forgetting that..?
The lighthouse beach won't work but
No the mouths lemon acid
You don’t have to have a mouth to have a river going across your land
What’s with the hate of symmetry crying
@static dirge I think it's also this game fights so hard against it.
Thinking of putting my campsite by my orchard?
The glow of the bamboo shoots makes me happy.
is that octavians house?
Thinking of putting my campsite by my orchard?
@woven drift do it. Good theme match.
I’ve come up with a concept for my next town I know roughly what I wanna do
The cliffs are gonna be so funny shaped
my map is 100% symmetric, town hall with airport and everything... but I don't know if follow that symmetry or do something different
Could turn a south mouth into a pond
symmetrical islands are neat, but personally i'm going for natural looking, i don't like the grid layout
Same
@gusty quiver Pekoe’s if you mean mine 🙂
oh ok, octavian has that kind of similar looking house aswell 😄
I thought Octavian too, he has the same house
My next town is gonna be so lit
you starting over?
damn, i don't have the guts to do that, leaving hundreds of hours of work behind lol
I have put 520 hours into my island
Zen
Symmetry can be a lot of fun. I have two houses that I wanted to make a 'hidden symmetry' photo of with just enough variation to disguise it 🙂
That’s cool
My islands layout is identical either side but I do different furniture decorations colours sometimes whole areas but the layout and dimensions are the exact same
Instead of starting over #imagine you should look into stardew valley. Great game
Same concept
But one of the first problems I ran into was not being able to line up the entrance to Nooks shop with my little town square for it. So since then I've gone 99% asymmetrical. The game seems designed to encourage you to start experimenting.
JEJEEKSHRJRHUENR MONEY ROCK ISLAND
If everything lined up perfect for everyone we'd see a LOT of the exact same island.
I mean I put my shops in weird positions so it could be symmetrical but it looks really nice
I mean my island is symmetrical and pretty basic but I haven’t seen one layout like mine yet
Yeah symmetry only looks good on man made objects/structures
Ok rude just diss my island then crying
Why do I always get this island lmao
Kidding btw
Lol
I mean theres a way to do symmetry that doesnt look manufactured i think
Imagine needing bells
Well I do lmao
Hey bud you got extra bells send em my way lol
I mean my island is pretty manufactured
That looks awesome!
Yeah. That looks like it took a lot of work its really impressive
Definitely wouldnt say it doest look cool im not a liar
O.o
8 MILION!?
He says symmetrical ly
Or she* sorry lol
Nah I’m a he all good
Wow fall is so pretty! spoilers guys geeze
yess haha
My experiment in symmetry.
Entrance, Residents Services, Gas Station, Arcade area next to Train Station then Wedding Area 😅
Thats such little detail you put in like geeze. What that take you? An hour?
There’s a lot more city islands and it makes me happy
Yeah im not that creative my brain doesnt make tiny cities
Please help me, how do i make this look good?
@static dirge i got the wedding stuff from nookazon
Flowers make everything better ?
I made mine like a park
how should I decorate the area in front of my campsite?
Lmao i tried to do a japanese theme (i usually do cottagecore) and it did not work out i scrapped the whole idea and went back to cottagecore
@feral adder thank you! 😅
With dirt and grass. The teacups in the middle
@static dirge do you ever do tours?
Thanks
For my island?
How do y’all get millions of bells? Lol
Blue over here like ‘no but really. Tell me where you got the money!!’
Lol im poor idk how they have that much. Ppl do weird stuff with the turnip market
Lmao
It’s not finished haha and there’s some messy parts
@static dirge Ha ha, I get this.
I’m good with 52k... lmao
I’m still decorating for spring so
@static dirge that area with winter season looks so good
ummm
How do people do it so they place the bricks like below the stairs to a house
I can't seem to do it :/
Also theres that glitch rn where you can duplicate stuff. Like im just suppose to have a model of an oar fish on hand
Thank youuu
You mean below the entrance? You can put paths under the house entrance if that's what you mean
How to decorate the entrance? xD
I’m proud of my island
Imma TT to Sunday to get some turnips
Oh well if you tt then theres like 100 ways to get more bells
I have 12 million from turnips
What the
O.o
Yea, Sausig
The back part of my island i am working on atm. Probs will redo everything once I get new villagers tho 🙂
I don't know how to do that, though
What is a way to get bells TTing
I have never time traveled and made so many nmt and bells
I have 100,000 rn because no longer a noon but not doing great either
Lol
wait nvm
Noob
anyone have ideas for an area to put villagers?
Oh just look stuff up
@faint path I love the paths
anyone have ideas for an area to put villagers?
@limpid warren
SAME
No sorry not you the noob! Me, im the noob lol
ty!!
anyone has any garden designs for their flowers?
@woven drift I can help you get started with 1M bells 😅
@foggy haven ty , I’m the CEO of inconsistent paths lol
My flower garden has 200 of the same flower 😆
@drowsy dagger ok!
@faint path I love using inconsistent paths, it looks more natural? I kind of just run around and put paths wherever.
I only started march 30th so im not much farther than you
hahaha anyone has garden designs/ideas for their flowers and wanna flex to me? would love to see your gardens
@woven drift okay just contact me. I can visit your island.
But i know with tt theres all kinds of crafty ways to make@money
March 30 is when It came out
ALL THE WHITE HYACINTH!
Oh ? Weird my date on my phone must be messed up lol
Yellow hyacinths
@foggy haven yeah I love mixing different paths lol
Game came out 21st of march?
20th
20th here
20th haha
oh wow ! fits really well with your white wind turbines and lighthouse!
ALL THE WHITE HYACINTH!
@versed wadi
Okay yeah cus i was like i know i waited at least a week to get it! Lol
Yellow hyacinths
@static dirge very pretty autumn feel! 😄
Ah yeah 20th
I started on 4/8, I am struggling with getting DIYs lmao
@nocturne nexus it kills the frame rate!
same. I get so many duplicates of DIYs
Autumn is the prettiest season in this game
If you got dupes, just trade them for new ones
My friend started on release day and by my 5th day i had already passed her gme wise so honestly its kinda your own pace’d game
@night fjord I save up my duplicates and trade them for ones I don't have
How do you trade?
I could but that's a whole hassle of trading and so on through the channel
Like on here?
Use a trade chat and talk to people?
Recipe trades
idk, one day I'll bite the bullet and do trades
Ohhhhhhh yeah no
@nocturne nexus it kills the frame rate!
@versed wadi oh gosh im experiencing the frame rate death already, my entire island background is a 3 tier waterfall
I sell mine, do they not sell for bells and ive never noticed lol
I got four new diys and 8 NMTs last night from trading
nah they sell, but my complaint is just that I get so many duplicates
Uff is it like the turnip trade on here cus thats brutal
like half the recipes I seem to get these days are either dupes or stuff for the house interior that I don't care about
Yeah im starting to notice that too
I don't know what to put here. I'm scattering my houses, so that's a no go. Maybe a carnival type thing?
Opinion on the layout of the stores circled in red? Wanted to incorporate more cliffs without it looking awkward. Anything I should adjust?
Can you show us a ground level pic?
Can you guys send me waterfall inspiration?
Yeah I just mapped out the spots in paths lemme get a pic
how can i make my house more pretty? like the island in the middle
@sand thunder wow! You have a nice bum.
i was so confused for a second
@red elbow what type of waterfall? I have a mini waterfall but that's about it.
with
With the water
With
@fringe lark I like with, what does it look like if you round the edges of the square? Or can you not do that bc of the cool pattern
Maybe even making the edges round?
What item do i put here? Its a 2x2 area so a fountain doesnt work
@sand thunder “My butt” 🤣
My Campground (:
@candid finch Flowers with a statue in the middle maybe?
@candid finch is there something in theme you're going for? Maybe putting a lighthouse or other?
Im going for a relaxed beachside kinda thing
Lighthouse is a good shout!
Trying to find the right fence... any suggestions!
yea lighthouse and flowers maybe
@sand thunder I like how you designed My Butt
?*
@idle cave Iron and stone maybe?
The theme is winter btw
Maybe the blue iron looking gates
@idle cave Iron and stone or blue imperial might work, to either match the house or the winter theme
Hmmm okay
Ooo, yea the grey stone fencing would look cool I think
Where can I get it?
@idle cave Nook machine
Ty
you get 2 random fences at Nook machine every day
I finally got the barbed wire one this morning 🙂
Was able to build bridge last minute before I forgot lmaoo
Or you could buy some from #furniture-trade or #player-services if you don't want to time travel to get the gate in your nook machine since it's rng
@idle cave
Okay thanks
It’s pretty rough but I’ll build more around it of course. Is it a good idea?
OMG MA TURNIPS 90 BELLS EACH
@grim cosmos looks good. Though do you want to decorate the front of them? If so should you move it back a few?
My invatory- money and turnips
@grim cosmos if you have the space, I would do it. Better to have some space than to have none and regret
Yeah I totally have space idk why I made it so compact
I needed to repurpose Redd's Incline. So I decided to make him feel a bit more like a criminal.
Ohhh, I love it!
Nice!
is there a way to figure out exactly where the middle of the island is and work from there. Not the center. But the middle where if you stand the right and left sides or the map are equal distances from you
The line between C and D and in the middle of 4 I believe
@neon orbit I did some digging on my storage and found that I have the stone fence DIY
Do you think that could work?
@versed wadi do you have any forest-themed houses? like, i saw how you put molly near a swamp sort of thing
C and D go up and down. That would divide top and bottom. But the number 4 would about where the middle is right
dividing left and right
that is the center of the island So if walk straight up from there that is the whole middle
Yep
