[versed stirrup]

Been having issues with a bridge. It would always be too large for my road so I just terraformed ground through a river. Will it stay as a river or will the game now treat it as a pond?

[sage notch]

Great because I have a plan for my terraforming but got to start in the middle back and work my way down

[foggy haven]

@sage notch I wish you luck!

[versed wadi]

@wet ice This is Erik's Woodland lodge

[foggy haven]

@versed stirrup are both side connected to either a waterfall or river mouth?

[versed wadi]

@steep socket Dobie's is at the back of the woods in a clearing by the cliff edge

[foggy haven]

You can always check by throwing a fishing pole in it. If it moves river, stays still pond.

[versed stirrup]

@foggy haven yeah, both sides have their own waterfall from the cliffs leading into the ocean

[foggy haven]

@versed stirrup then they're rivers.

[steep socket]

thanks @versed wadi

i just dont know how to fill up space? lol

or how i should do my paths- whether i should use the game ones, or custom stepping stones

[faint path]

@versed wadi I have the Same sign for Redd it’s so nice haha!

[idle cave]

Guys can I get Blue Imperial from redeeming nook miles

[versed wadi]

@versed wadi I have the Same sign for Redd it’s so nice haha!
@faint path ooooh, do you have the creator code for it. A couple of people asked where I got it but I couldn't remember.

[arctic nacelle]

So this is a little unusual, but I thought it would be funny to have a luxe resort beach on one side of the river and a public beach on the other.

[wide latch]

really happy about my entrance!

[foggy haven]

@wide latch cute! Love the color combo

[lone plaza]

Guys can you give me some advise/feedback on my plans for a layout

[thorn kiln]

anyone have a forest/mushroom type island theme ?

[wide latch]

@wide latch cute! Love the color combo
@foggy haven thank you!

[thorn kiln]

@lone plaza make some small pools where your rivers come in

@lone plaza http://prntscr.com/sbwi42

[hollow shuttle]

What has everyone done with their hardwood trees?

[versed wadi]

replaced them with evergreens mostly

[lone plaza]

@lone plaza http://prntscr.com/sbwi42
@thorn kiln Thanks so much for this, it will come in handy when I get started!

[lusty marsh]

Can anyone help me make a layout for this thing

[foggy haven]

There's not a whole bunch of water in the front area. Maybe add a lake on the right south river mouth with the cliffs going around it? Maybe even with a secret "cave" @lone plaza

[gray sparrow]

need ideas on what to put in these 2 empty plot of land. ive been trying to make a garden but it doesnt sit right with me 😦 help!

[foggy haven]

@gray sparrow if you want to include flowers what about an apiary?

[atomic hatch]

@gray sparrow you could do a flower garden with all your hybrid flowers?

[lone plaza]

There's not a whole bunch of water in the front area. Maybe add a lake on the right south river mouth with the cliffs going around it? Maybe even with a secret "cave" @lone plaza
@foggy haven That's such a clever idea! Appreciate it!

[atomic hatch]

Can I see everyone’s museums please for some inspo???

[storm bluff]

@atomic hatch

[hidden lion]

Can someone help me find a island layout for my type of island with little to no terraforming

[vast pasture]

Just moved my house now Time to clean up!

[grim cosmos]

Gave the able’s shop a bit more room. Should I execute this idea?

[thorn kiln]

@gray sparrow http://prntscr.com/sbwofj

[lusty marsh]

Send layout ideas plz

[foggy haven]

@grim cosmos yes! I love it!

[grim cosmos]

🙂 yay!

@versed wadi did you see my idea?

[atomic hatch]

@storm bluff oh wow that’s amazing thank you!

[versed wadi]

@versed wadi did you see my idea?
@grim cosmos Just now. Talk me through it

[foggy haven]

@vast pasture nice! Where did you move to?

[sweet perch]

Made a library based porch for lolly’s house!

[hidden lion]

How do u make porches

[grim cosmos]

Okay so the top part is ables and bottom is nook. It’s an idea for the setup of the two stores since I wanted to incorporate a cliff

[vast pasture]

@foggy haven top left

[wooden whale]

My 2 favorite parts of my island :) entrance and campsite!

[vast pasture]

Still working to make it look nice

[sweet perch]

@hidden lion it’s a QR code path. If I can find it again, I’ll DM the codes to you

[grim cosmos]

Obviously it’s a bit rough and if I place the stores I’ll build off of the cliffs to try make it flow better

[foggy haven]

@vast pasture awesome, that'll give you a lot of space.

[vast pasture]

@foggy haven Yeah also it has a great view

[hidden lion]

@sweet perch can u dm me it :))

[pulsar dirge]

can you dm me them as well @sweet perch lol

[idle cave]

Opinions?

Using stone and iron fence

[hidden lion]

also guys should I make this my island? I can just terraform all the water out and then make this my island

[arctic nacelle]

@atomic hatch

[versed wadi]

Obviously it’s a bit rough and if I place the stores I’ll build off of the cliffs to try make it flow better
@grim cosmos Give it a try, Nooks might look a bit 'claustrophobic' burried right into the cliff 🙂

Only way to know for sure though is to try

I've literally just moved my Nooks back to the beach again

[grim cosmos]

True! Haha yeah I like the idea of the stores being apart from each other but not sure what that’d look like on my island so I’ll try this idea for now.

[peak plover]

It's not complete yet but aaa it's coming along nicely C:

[void cypress]

It’s lacking some flavor any suggestions ?

[finite basalt]

flowers or add some slightly darker paths around the benches

[grim cosmos]

The point of the cliff around the left side of nooks was to try and block a path to kinda force you to go up the stairs and down

Might terraform it differently as that might be annoying anyway as I go to nooks more often than ables

[sudden basalt]

Do we prefer this winding path?

Or these uneven ?

It’s so I can transition to one space down to get to resident services

[mighty dune]

Any opinions on this?

[rugged rain]

Is there anyone with a Celeste or star like area?

[jolly topaz]

@sudden basalt winding path is better ithink

[lusty marsh]

Is there anyone who can help me out on making a island layout

[night fjord]

@mighty dune big fan of the space, where did you get the brick outlines for both the garden beds and the streets? They look great and I'd love to yoink them

[foggy haven]

@sudden basalt first one

[versed wadi]

Right, time to get deeper into custom paths. I need to go look for a distressed stone one.

I'm going to set my museum in the 'old woods' and kinda have it like a hidden temple

well that's the plan anyway

[night fjord]

Hope it turns out well ^^

[winter sentinel]

I wanna helppp @lusty marsh

[idle cave]

So much space, what do I put?

[winter sentinel]

you can put some outdoor things depending on your interests

[queen nexus]

those of you who demolished your rivers -- do you feel like you're missing out?

[idle cave]

Sugar the villager is gonna be Roald

[fierce willow]

Can anybody send some of the maps for those little city type islands with like roads and every house has a yard? I want to see what they do with their rivers

[idle cave]

So getting swole and food

I'm thinking about putting a vending machine

[queen nexus]

@fierce willow i notice most city islands destroy them

[finite basalt]

@queen nexus not at all. I will make new rivers and ponds for spawns and decoration, so i have more freedom.

[fierce willow]

I thought do my stupid double south rivers make the sides really small

And the inside is B I G

[void cypress]

Hyacinths in the holes?

[queen nexus]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWz2BMrVAAUE2ze?format=jpg&name=large

this is my ugly map i'm trying to do a city

but the rivers are getting in the way and so is the waterfall

sadly. so i think i gotta demolish them

BUT I don't want to ruin the cliffside housing district so hmmm

i wonder if i can get rid of the waterfall but still keep the cliff houses and incorporate a city them somehow?

[gray sparrow]

@gray sparrow http://prntscr.com/sbwofj
@thorn kiln thank you!!

[fierce willow]

Well, they also get rid of cliffs, right? And dont they use them for raising up like an orchard or something?

[agile mantle]

Another wip screenshot of my new map :))

[lusty marsh]

Inspiration?

[foggy haven]

What are all of the balloon colors again?

[agile mantle]

working on a new layout for my island, heavily inspired by @versed wadi @scenic blaze @zinc hull :)))

^map inspo

[gloomy kayak]

Does anyone have any tips on how I could layout my island? I'm so stuck on where to put everything

[agile mantle]

any specific theme you're going for?

[steady hinge]

Im trying to find some inspo for my garden

[gloomy kayak]

I just want everything layed out neatly but I don't know how, but also like spaced out

[valid merlin]

look at those 5 star island tours for inspiration

and think of just general town stuff you could incorperate

[idle cave]

Can I see someone's villager's house entrance/front bit

[autumn flower]

This is the layout I’m using! I got it from one of the 5 star island tours on YouTube. I like how everything is spaced out symmetrically but still has a lot of space

[gloomy kayak]

ok, thanks, I'll check some out :)

Too bad resident services can't be moved, but I'll work with what I have :)

[valid merlin]

This is the layout I’m using! I got it from one of the 5 star island tours on YouTube. I like how everything is spaced out symmetrically but still has a lot of space
@autumn flower is it symetrical item wise?

like do you have the same decorations on both sides or no

idk if ppl with symetrical islands do that

[hidden lion]

Anyone got any campsite layouts I can use for inspiration?

[versed wadi]

Another wip screenshot of my new map :))
@agile mantle Looking forward to seeing your progress 🙂

[autumn flower]

@valid merlin nah, only my map is symmetrical. Each of my residents has different yards, themes, etc.

[agile mantle]

@agile mantle Looking forward to seeing your progress 🙂
@versed wadi Thanks! I was trying to send it last night actually, but discord was not having it :)

@versed wadi I will send you the creator Code when I’m at home!

Only thing I've changed recently is to make Redd's beach a bit more criminal

@versed wadi I will send you the creator Code when I’m at home!
@faint path Awesome, Thank you!

[gray sparrow]

city-like island inspo?

[woven drift]

@versed wadi do u have any photos of lucky’s graveyard? i have him too and im wondering if it would be alr to take some inspo

@woven drift

[woven drift]

thats wonderful love it

[reef cobalt]

Any ideas on what to do with this little island I made

[valid merlin]

i lowkey wanna try recreate the fortnite map in ac

the good one

[versed wadi]

At some point I'm going to try and move the rocks up there to replace the garden stones. I really don't like how they look.

Or a couple of them at least

[long wasp]

I know this is kinda popular atm, but it was too fun not to try. Here’s my little forced perspective

[woven drift]

Is it okay if i take some inspo @versed wadi ?

@long wasp oo cute

[swift stag]

@long wasp That is amazing. 😍

[versed wadi]

Feel free, rip it off entirely if you like 😄

[woven drift]

Tysm

[versed wadi]

I know this is kinda popular atm, but it was too fun not to try. Here’s my little forced perspective
@long wasp I love this so much!

[long wasp]

The chimney smoke is my favourite detail

Thanks guys!

[terse terrace]

I destroyed three stairs and a bridge I just made several days ago 🗿

[woven drift]

oof feeling that

[faint path]

Goldies little reading area ( she’s also my spy for redd!)

[terse terrace]

that's cute

[finite basalt]

goldie is precious i have her and love her

[faint path]

@finite basalt me too 🥺

[twilit crater]

the feeling when u plop someone u dont like in a random spot on the island only for freaking Judy of all people to move in their home and now I have to decorate their area

[austere cedar]

@faint path mind if i get inspiration for one of my villagers?

[faint path]

Feel free to use my pics as Inspo! 💗 @austere cedar

[austere cedar]

thanks!

[valid merlin]

how hard would this be to recreate lol

i want to try

[dusky plinth]

Anyone know the space needed for the t-Rex fossils?

[valid merlin]

but i feel like its gonna be waay too hard

[versed wadi]

T-Rex = 6 x 2

[fathom sonnet]

@valid merlin show me your map

[valid merlin]

i havent started

[dusky plinth]

@versed wadi thx!

[valid merlin]

its flat

[reef cobalt]

Dont you LOVE when you just want some black flowers but get this insted

[fathom sonnet]

@valid merlin what rivermouths you got?

[versed wadi]

You could probably make 1/4 of that map. but you could do something inspired by it.

[valid merlin]

2 at bottom

on both sides

so idk

[versed wadi]

Ditch the sand and snow biomes, you're gonna struggle with those

[valid merlin]

i need to find good inspiration lol

[fathom sonnet]

If you had one at a side you could tryand recreate it

[valid merlin]

i mean the river starts at bottom and ends at top so aaaaaaaa

[fathom sonnet]

But you could rotate it

[reef cobalt]

Is this a good lay out?

[swift stag]

Accidental time travelling going up by the month instead of the day 🤣

[valid merlin]

shrek island?

[woven drift]

yes> Accidental time travelling going up by the month instead of the day 🤣
@swift stag looks really pretty

[valid merlin]

i need to find something i can work around 2 bottom rivers

[hidden lion]

Anyone have any museum layouts?

[reef cobalt]

I LOVE THE WINTER

[hidden lion]

@swift stag omg thats so pretty

[versed wadi]

Accidental time travelling going up by the month instead of the day 🤣
@swift stag "Accidental"

[fathom sonnet]

I wish you could have a snow floor :/

[swift stag]

@versed wadi I was distracted eating my pretzels

@versed wadi I need to show you something!

[valid merlin]

this could work?

[reef cobalt]

This the museum entrance I'm working on

[versed wadi]

I can't wait to see my island in Fall and Winter 🙂

[reef cobalt]

My island will be so pretty in winter 😍

[versed wadi]

@versed wadi I need to show you something!
@swift stag … cool, now i'm excited!

[valid merlin]

i need inspiration

[reef cobalt]

Should I TT to winter just to see it? Is it worth the weeds?

[valid merlin]

pls help ;-;

[swift stag]

When @versed wadi is distracted on his phone

[versed wadi]

I was playing Tetris

[reef cobalt]

Also can anyone come to my island and tell me what to add to make it look nicer? 💞

[woven drift]

ill come!

[terse terrace]

@valid merlin the issue with recreating entire maps is that a lot of details will be "one block details " it'll look nice on the map but it'll look weird in person because there will be random inclines and land in water etc.

[versed wadi]

@valid merlin the issue with recreating entire maps is that a lot of details will be "one block details " it'll look nice on the map but it'll look weird in person because there will be random inclines and land in water etc.
@terse terrace 100% this. The wetlands I tried to do look like trash at ground level.

[valid merlin]

@valid merlin the issue with recreating entire maps is that a lot of details will be "one block details " it'll look nice on the map but it'll look weird in person because there will be random inclines and land in water etc.
@terse terrace i saw that map of sinnoh and it didnt look like it'd be fun to play on tho it looked cool

[terse terrace]

if you still want to do it then go ahead :) I'm just saying beforehand

[valid merlin]

mini zelda map, doesnt look too bad in theory

[terse terrace]

the map examples you gave also look complex. I would think Pokemon maps and LoZ maps are easier because they're already block based

yes that actually works

[versed wadi]

Kim's point still stands though. Those little mini islands on it are one square.

[sudden basalt]

Hey guys, I wanna place a building by this area, I was thinking either Museum, Ables, or just a villager home. What do we think?

[foggy haven]

If I put a few of these behind a stall, would it look like a balloon pop? The game in a carnival?

[proper sleet]

Ables imo

[valid merlin]

i could probably do this mostly

[terse terrace]

ables imo

[valid merlin]

hard tho

im just gonna look thru games with maps

[terse terrace]

it's a shame that this map you gave has a nice bridge but you cant implement that lol

[valid merlin]

i can just use multiple bridges

in succesion

[terse terrace]

it wouldn't be the same.

[valid merlin]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[night fjord]

you could just make a land bridge instead

[valid merlin]

thats a shout ^^

[night fjord]

then tile the top of it

[valid merlin]

it'd work

[woven drift]

My entrance! Im honestly super proud of it💞

[knotty igloo]

@foggy haven Personally I think the balloons should be bigger and more in a line, that’s how I’ve always seen that game at festivals

[versed wadi]

That awesome Miyazaki picture someone posted yesterday did a land bridge and it looked great.

@woven drift Looking good!

[limpid maple]

@woven drift you should be proud! That looks awesome:)

[scenic blaze]

That awesome Miyazaki picture someone posted yesterday did a land bridge and it looked great.
@versed wadi I missed this 👀

[woven drift]

Thank u so much 💓

[versed wadi]

Hey @scenic blaze . How's Dobie?

[swift stag]

@woven drift Impressive 10/10 ⭐️

[woven drift]

tysm

[scenic blaze]

@versed wadi I LOVE HIM

He keeps forgetting what he was doing

[versed wadi]

He's like… really old!

[valid merlin]

this could work but its hard to tell how easy these would be to replicate

[foggy haven]

Yeah, I would like if they could be larger @knotty igloo however, then I couldn't fit as many. My local carnival has them disorganized, so that's the inspiration for it.

[scenic blaze]

My island needed grandpa wolf

[idle cave]

Am I able to get snowman as an item

[gray sparrow]

My entrance! Im honestly super proud of it💞
@woven drift really cool

[idle cave]

I really need one for my villager's house

[lone plaza]

Grandpa wolf is pure gold imo I am gonna have it with fang living next door as his hokai

[versed wadi]

Maybe that whiteboard in his house isn't a plan for a detective novel. Maybe, it's just his plan to get through his day.

[woven drift]

@gray sparrow tysm

[thorny hound]

@woven drift omggg that looks super nicee!! I love your entrance!

[scenic blaze]

Finished the terraforming on my new project last night (upper right). Gonna start decorating today 💃

[woven drift]

@woven drift omggg that looks super nicee!! I love your entrance!
@thorny hound tysm🥺

[knotty igloo]

@foggy haven That’s actually really cute then! I’m all for taking inspiration from local community!

[sudden basalt]

@scenic blaze wow! That is an amazing map! I love it

[foggy haven]

@knotty igloo thank you! It'll be behind a red and white stall

[versed wadi]

@scenic blaze please can I see your museum. I'm kinda stuck!

[scenic blaze]

@sudden basalt thank you! It’s a lot of fun to hop around

[swift stag]

I’m currently doing my museum too!

[scenic blaze]

@versed wadi right now it’s just stuck in the cliff nook, no decor or trees yet, I’ll keep you updated

[versed wadi]

Unless it's surrounded by those questionable tall rocks you love. If so… I'm all good.

[upbeat crest]

Weird question, but does anyone know where the DAL plane flies over? I know it’s dependent on the airport location but what’s the route?

[barren swift]

today my final rock was supposed to spawn in its designated spot...

[swift stag]

@upbeat crest It takes the same route every time so in a sense you kind of have to remember the areas it covers? The best way to do this is to save or record the footage!

[terse terrace]

@valid merlin I made a quick sketch of what you can do (imagine the pink as blue water lol) the only real problem is that large body of ocean is interrupted by the sand.

[scenic blaze]

@versed wadi leave my rocks alone, I didn’t make the connection until YOU pointed it out

[versed wadi]

I just said 'hmm'

you made the connection

[vast pasture]

Did I miss something?

[swift stag]

are you referring to the shape of the tall rocks?

[valid merlin]

@valid merlin I made a quick sketch of what you can do (imagine the pink as blue water lol) the only real problem is that large body of ocean is interrupted by the sand.
@terse terrace is that inspired by another map or is it just a general idea?

[terse terrace]

that's the map you gave

[valid merlin]

kanto?

[scenic blaze]

Gibbs thinks the shape of the tall garden rocks are reminiscent of a certain body part

[swift stag]

I had the same thought 🤣

[terse terrace]

o that is Kanto. yea

[valid merlin]

i'll think about what to do, my best ideas map wise are either kanto or unova

[proper sleet]

looking for some ideas, currently planned to put my resident area on the right side, the rest is unplaned

[idle cave]

I feel powerful

[scenic blaze]

They cost me two stacks of stone each to make I’m gonna use them, weenie or no 😭

[valid merlin]

unova btw

[versed wadi]

weenie island

[terse terrace]

I forgot how good unova look

unova is so doable if you have double south

[valid merlin]

unova is so doable if you have double south
@terse terrace river?

[terse terrace]

double south means two river exists south of your island

exits*

[valid merlin]

yeah i have 2

south

[terse terrace]

that's perfect then

[valid merlin]

i guess ill run with the unova idea

[sudden basalt]

Which? Do you think? Try to ignore the flowers

[swift stag]

Leave the gap to do a filler

[scenic blaze]

First one

[buoyant gate]

1

[lyric wharf]

yeah

[terse terrace]

yea first

oddly unaminous lmfao

[sudden basalt]

A filler?

[terse terrace]

small items like tables. benches. potted plants

to decorate the small gap areas

[sudden basalt]

Ah yes of course!

[proper sleet]

would any1 want to come to my island and help me with some ideas?

[vast pasture]

Could anyone send a picture of there island for some inspiration I don’t know what to do with this one part of my island

[woven drift]

anyone got any ideas how i could layout my houses or do anything with this map?

[idle cave]

Guys how do I make something an overlay

[woven drift]

for what? paths?

[foggy haven]

Not the final colors or setup

Does this look stupid? Any recommendations

[woven drift]

looks good imo @foggy haven

[idle cave]

Yea, sorry, should've been more clear

[queen nexus]

wait you can move your shops to the beach?

[terse terrace]

@foggy haven are you trying to go for real balloons are is that just a pattern decoration?

[woven drift]

have at least one transparent square on the custom design you want to use, it could be in the top corner out of sight and it’ll fit around curves etc on paths you’ve laid with the tool

[vernal crow]

Hmmmm anyone good with ideas for a set island theme? Could use someone to bounce ideas off of aha

[woven drift]

@queen nexus yep you can move them anywhere

[idle cave]

The tool?

I'm unfamiliar

[queen nexus]

btw can you guys show your favorite double south maps....

[foggy haven]

@terse terrace kind of real-ish, but I didn't want to take the time to design it this morn. And couldn't find an already made pattern. So I just put this down.

[idle cave]

Like I wanna use this as an overlay

[vernal crow]

Newsroom set in Progress. Just need custom floor tiling, panel design and to decide how to fence off the "film sets" on my studio isle

[woven drift]

@idle cave so you know you can lay paths with the path tool? then go back and lay a custom design over the top of them and it should work if the custom design has at least one transparent square

[terse terrace]

it comes off as a pattern and I wouldn't have known they were balloons unless you told me. idk if there's much you can do even with a good pattern @foggy haven

[finite basalt]

@valid merlin for the johto map make mount silver the 4th story you cant get on top of lol

[idle cave]

Path tool? sorry my brain is completely out of it atm

[foggy haven]

Maybe I should make it into a different carnival game? my first thought was balloon since we pop them in the game too...

[woven drift]

you have to redeem the path tool once you’ve unlocked terraforming

[idle cave]

Oh

[woven drift]

@idle cave

[pallid meadow]

almost done

[idle cave]

I haven't got Terraforming yet haha I'm on 2*

[finite basalt]

@foggy haven there are colorful wheels you can spin in game for 'prizes'

[terse terrace]

yea a lot of canival games can be easier to implement. unfortunately the balloons look too flat on the board

[idle cave]

[foggy haven]

@finite basalt I don't have those yet, but I'll definitely add them when I get them

[woven drift]

ah my bad i assumed you already unlocked it! once you’ve redeemed it you can apply paths down with the tool and then apply a custom design over the top and it’ll fit the paths you’ve already made

[foggy haven]

@terse terrace thanks for the feedback, it really helped

[woven drift]

Hello, has anyone got good museum design ideas? I was aiming for something similar to the image below, but I really regret using five inclines just for it.... plus being the building 7 squares long, not being able to center the middle stairs with the door really bothers my OCD

[foggy haven]

That amount of inclines wow

[terse terrace]

a lot of people use two inclines and waterfalls surrounding those inclines you might like that

[buoyant gate]

You could at least just take out the middle one and put a waterfall instead

[swift stag]

I’m trying to do a nice design without the use of inclines but make it appear dimensional! It’s working well

[woven drift]

@foggy haven I know, that leaves just 3 to be used for the rest of the island

[pallid meadow]

you’re wasting a lot of inclines tbh

[swift stag]

It really depends if you want your museum to be a main focal point which for me I don’t really care for it - so zero inclines it is

[valid merlin]

i used 2 for my house and regreted it when i was short by 1 incline ;-;

[woven drift]

Opinion? Please don't ignore🤍

[pallid meadow]

@valid merlin same, ended up removing one

[terse terrace]

I still want my museum to be important but I don't use inclines for it. I just surround it with waterfalls and make it hidden

[woven drift]

Opinion? Please don't ignore🤍
@woven drift saw this on twitter

[valid merlin]

:oooooo make skipping stones to your museum if you dont know what to do around it

[idle cave]

Kinda annoyed how good this looks with Lucky when I’m trying to design it for Roald

[woven drift]

@woven drift saw this on twitter
@woven drift oh what? Do u like mine?

[idle cave]

Like T_T bruh

[woven drift]

@woven drift oh what? Do u like mine?
@woven drift yeah no it's still awesome ! good job there

[shell oak]

Heya everyone. New here. I finally unlocked terraforming so have started to consider what I want to do with my island. My current idea is to make an almost Mountain/Valley type area. I used the Happy Island app to make this rough layout. Does this seem feasible?

Left is my current, Right is the possible design.

[woven drift]

Hello, has anyone got good museum design ideas? I was aiming for something similar to the image below, but I really regret using five inclines just for it.... plus being the building 7 squares long, not being able to center the middle stairs with the door really bothers my OCD

hey i only did 4 inclines and it’s cool i used a tutorial to make it the exact same
it’s a really cool idea tbh you should try it, try saving up for the inclines. if not maybe you can do a natural zone or something

Feeling daunted at the idea of relocating the museum for the 2nd time.... it is actually built on two basements on top of each other, but I knozw I am going to regret the waste of inclines

[terse terrace]

put in your inclines @shell oak

[violet ridge]

my island out line gonna change the campsite area later

[woven drift]

@woven drift do you have an image of that?

of wut?

[shell oak]

I hadn't figured that part out yet. Was mostly seeing if it was even worth pursuing @terse terrace

[terse terrace]

I really think the main issue is inclines. it's fine otherwise @shell oak

you'd want to spread out the inclines so every part is accedisble

[sleek urchin]

I made a as forest section with ominous fossils everywhere. Every angle you look at it has a different view of fossils.

[shell oak]

True. My original thought was to make a zig-zag patten of road paths leading up the "mountain", but can't really do that since there isn't true inclines.

[edgy night]

Does anyone have any advice for what to do with your entrance when your resident services is literally right there? Please post some inspo 😭

[woven drift]

hey i only did 4 inclines and it’s cool i used a tutorial to make it the exact same

@woven drift Tutorial? where?

[shell oak]

Something like this was the original idea

[woven drift]

it’s actually a speed construction sorry english is not my first language
i can send you a link

[limpid maple]

What do y’all think of my neighborhood??? I call it Cliff-Side Views

[faint path]

This is my current layout atm! I will change some parts like cliffs and rivers I’m not 100% happy with (:

[bold mirage]

Anybody have good inspiration for a neighborhood with lots of water running through it?

[woven drift]

@edgy night this is what i done

[valid merlin]

i lowkey wish i only had 9 villagers so i could make a 3x3 area for them

[woven drift]

actually here’s a more updated image

[dusky plinth]

Is there a chart for the space of the fossils?

[sinful drift]

Any1 with a natural theme i can tour?

[thorn kestrel]

Can people please show their residential areas?

[proper cipher]

anyone with a city island, can you show me please?

[polar iris]

Path leading up to my zen garden :)

[sinful drift]

Ouuu

[versed wadi]

@polar iris I need that path in my life!

[reef cobalt]

A little part of my island I just made

[strange imp]

Other than the Lttp and Smw islands, has anyone see any islands based on other game worlds?

[vast pasture]

@polar iris do you have that path code

amazing! thankyou

[sinful drift]

How do i plan out my island?

[versed wadi]

I was after something for my museum entrance

[swift stag]

I just finished my museum! Time for photos 👏

[misty herald]

Future market area!

[sinful drift]

I know that if i just draw over my map it will fuck everything up

Ohhh thats cool

[vast pasture]

I’m about to add something to this can any guess what?

[versed wadi]

I just finished my museum! Time for photos 👏
@swift stag I'm already ready to scrap my progress so far

[reef cobalt]

Heres a better picture

[terse terrace]

my favorite part of the game is destroying half my bridges and inclines that I recently built because I a got a new idea 🗿

[misty herald]

@terse terrace Same. I wish you could change the style of an existing bridge or incline

[terse terrace]

my dumb head made 3 inclines and one bridge exist in the same square on the map

[misty herald]

Is there a limit?

[scenic blaze]

8 of each

[ember kestrel]

okay guys please pick real quick! before or after?

[faint path]

Before

[misty herald]

Before!

[versed wadi]

before

[scenic blaze]

@ember kestrel i like the house exterior of after, but everything else of before

[supple forum]

Anyone has nice designs for pathways ?

[sinful drift]

I like both

[faint path]

I like the pathing better but it’s such a nice exterior , very well done

[ember kestrel]

oh my bad, this is the one from yesterday. is this better than either of them at all would you say?

[supple forum]

I really want to make my village look magical

[reef cobalt]

I

[sinful drift]

@versed wadi im most def stealing your idea of rogue houses lol

[terse terrace]

I like them both equally. I love the bushes in the fences.

[scenic blaze]

@ember kestrel i still like the first before

@sinful drift I wouldn't say they've gone rogue! lol

[ember kestrel]

I need to figure out wtf I'm doing then lol..

I'll be asking again later

[sinful drift]

@sinful drift I wouldn't say they've gone rogue! lol
@versed wadi

Well you know the idea of them not in residential

[versed wadi]

I know 🙂

[fervent trail]

I think I have Raymond?

Idk I have a cat

[sinful drift]

Lol

[scenic blaze]

i think it's the mix of, uhh i think four?, different custom path sets that i don't love. the simpler approach of just the cobblestone ones is easier on the eyes

[vast pasture]

Any thoughts on this pathway I made?

[sinful drift]

Cute and collected i like it

I trie so so so so

[hidden lion]

I like it

[sinful drift]

So so hard to only use paths i made but

[terse terrace]

it looks nice but trees would make it perfect @vast pasture

[sinful drift]

Ive come to the realization I HATE MAKING PATHS IHVYI

[static dirge]

Less bushes

[polar iris]

Any ideas what to put here? Its right next to the zen garden, but im torn between extending the garden or having a whole different area :/

[static dirge]

Off topic but rollers in splatoon make me so mad

[reef cobalt]

Any ideas of what I could do with my map?

[woven drift]

Hi guys! Do u know where I could ask someone to help me design my island? Basically I have no idea how to connect everything and I find only using paths a bit boring

[static dirge]

Lots of empty space to the right of the resident services area

[sinful drift]

Any ideas what to put here? Its right next to the zen garden, but im torn between extending the garden or having a whole different area :/
@polar iris

Playground?or just flowers

[vast pasture]

Some please tell me I’m not the only one who is working on/ already made a cliff side cafe

If not feel free to use that idea

[bold mirage]

@vast pasture I’ve started a seaside one on a rock

[elfin minnow]

@vast pasture Yep

[polar iris]

@sinful drift I already have a small playground haha 😅 i think i might just extend the garden

[sinful drift]

WTF DO I DO WITH THIS MUCH SPACE AT RS

[terse terrace]

@vast pasture I've been planning to do that :)

[elfin minnow]

Hey guys

[sudden basalt]

Im starting to build a big town square. Is this going to be hideous? Or should I keep going? Obviously will decorate with fences, furniture and flowers .
Ignore da chicken! Haha

[bold mirage]

I’m working on a lighthouse with forced perspective, but Imma need to redo my nature trail.

[twilit lichen]

WTF DO I DO WITH THIS MUCH SPACE AT RS
@sinful drift create a tiny island within that space

[reef cobalt]

REMEBER GUYS 2 MORE SHOPS ARE BEING ADDED! Having some extra space is good! 💞

[sinful drift]

@sinful drift I already have a small playground haha 😅 i think i might just extend the garden
@polar iris

If its connecting two sections, i would personally make hopping cliffs with water underneath

REMEBER GUYS 2 MORE SHOPS ARE BEING ADDED! Having some extra space is good! 💞
@reef cobalt

WHATTTTTT

[versed wadi]

I like the teeny lighthouses 🙂

[reef cobalt]

Can someone send a picture of there playground I need a bit of inspo.

@sinful drift

It was datamind

[elfin minnow]

I made a pool area, opinions ❔

[versed wadi]

or rather, Giant lighthouses

[bleak needle]

I wanted to make a pretty little spot right in front of residential area, a little hideout in a way

[woven drift]

Does this look good? 😊

[versed wadi]

Love this, one day I'll get the flowercart DIY… One day.

[reef cobalt]

This whole game is Bulding and destroying and repeat

[scenic blaze]

oh shit i forgot to look for that for you

[woven drift]

My residential services is right behind it haha 🤣

[scenic blaze]

let me log on lol

[proper cipher]

anyone with a city willing to show me pics?

[agile mantle]

It was datamind
@reef cobalt proof of data mine?

[elfin minnow]

@reef cobalt Heres my play ground

[reef cobalt]

Is anyone else going for a more natural island?

@agile mantle do your own research like I did.

[woven drift]

Is anyone else going for a more natural island?
@reef cobalt I am 😊

[dry acorn]

Anyone open for visitors?

[vast pasture]

This whole game is making something realizing you don’t want it there and have to move repeat

[sinful drift]

@reef cobalt I am 😊
@woven drift

Can i tour?

[elfin minnow]

@vast pasture YES

[bleak needle]

Is anyone else going for a more natural island?
Yes!

[reef cobalt]

I made this idk if I like it- what do yall think?

[lean thunder]

whoops sorry wrong channel

[vast pasture]

@reef cobalt very nice

[dry acorn]

@reef cobalt i love it!

[ember kestrel]

cutee

[sinful drift]

I made this idk if I like it- what do yall think?
@reef cobalt

The island should either really off center the bridges or completely center them if that makes sense

[polar iris]

I hate that we have so little custom design slots, im already out of space for anything else 😭

[woven drift]

@woven drift

Can i tour?
@sinful drift it's 12:39am where I am so unfortunately not! In 8 hrs ill say yes though 😊

[elfin minnow]

I've been trying to nature-ify my island. So far I've made like a lil' forest.

[sinful drift]

Damn

[dry acorn]

I'm making a drive in cinema. Still looking for black panels tho

[scenic blaze]

@versed wadi check your mail 😘

[vast pasture]

Let’s hold a contest everyone check and say how many hours they have put into this game I’ve done 145

[dry acorn]

300-something

[elfin minnow]

230 hours hehe

[versed wadi]

[proper cipher]

can people show me their cities?

[versed wadi]

Did someone say they wanted Fauna?

[sinful drift]

405 hours

You can come to mine. I have nothing to do rn

[elfin minnow]

I don't like the cobble walls here, any replacement ideas?

[vast pasture]

And I thoght I put a lot of time in you guys are committed

[spice prairie]

Around 270 hours for me

[normal snow]

Zen fence? @elfin minnow

[elfin minnow]

Ooh maybe

[spice prairie]

Maybe hedges

Hedges look nice in most places

[polar iris]

@elfin minnow maybe iron stone fence or rope fence? just because it fits with the museum area

[normal snow]

@elfin minnow would fit the fossil stuff well

[versed wadi]

@swift stag keeping us all in suspense with this Museum reveal 😬

[woven drift]

Loll

[vast pasture]

I don't like the cobble walls here, any replacement ideas?
@elfin minnow headges maybe

[elfin minnow]

Maybe

I'll try Zen, Rope Fence and Hedges
Ty guys

@versed wadi Not long to go 🙊 here’s a little spoil! This was my quick brain storming! Very aesthetic and thought out as you can see

HAHAHAHAHABABA

It actually helped me a lot

[polar iris]

my island is 90% hedges

Give me a few more minutes 🙊

It’s slowly coming together

Can anyone give me some inspiration for me beach♡︎ I’m going for fairy vibesss

This any better?

[spice prairie]

I think that looks nice

[steep terrace]

Heres the map w/ anotations 4 my sister :P theyre in Spanish so forgiv

[pale thicket]

I have my houses in a row, how many squares would you leave in between so that the are close but not squashed? I'm currently using 4 spaces

[vast pasture]

@elfin minnow oh snap that’s looks great

[versed wadi]

You can go all the way to 1 and it still look ok.

[steep terrace]

4 or 3 spaces is good

[pale thicket]

I want to avoid the camera changing perspective if I run between them

[lusty marsh]

Post pics of your layouts I need inspiration

[fading jungle]

hi! i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with my island? i have both terraforming features and am just lacking inspiration/motivation! just looking for some help and guidance if possible! thank you!

[steep terrace]

Oh so vertically? Thats rougher

[elfin minnow]

Heres mine @lusty marsh

[pale thicket]

Yeah my current design has vertical. I've tested the camera alot and it's inconsistant

[polar iris]

@lusty marsh

[valid merlin]

[spring apex]

good morning everyone, i still working on an island lay out (i pretty much have to start from 0)

[patent sky]

The easiest way to do waterfalls is to get your cliffs into a shape you like first

[elfin minnow]

Yep

[thick finch]

Can someone share me some museum entrance ideas?

[agile mantle]

Anyone got any layouts with all your buildings on a beach? Need some ideas of where to move my museum so I can redo everything

[agile swan]

@pale thicket stop reminding me im bad at the game ur island is amazing 😣😭😭😭😭

[spring apex]

so i have my island named delfino, and i kinda wanted to try something from that inspiration, can i get thoughts on it, im not 100% sold on this idea yet

[glacial steeple]

@thick finch here's mine 😊

[fading jungle]

@rare flare @vast pasture im living for this plot development

[agile swan]

@glacial steeple where do u get those designs?

[swift stag]

Ok here’s the museum! There’s a waterfall on the left side but unfortunately it can’t be seen from this angle ☹️ @versed wadi

[fading jungle]

@thick finch floor lights!!!!!

[pale thicket]

@agile swan my island is just straight lines 😄

[pearl pagoda]

My layout so far but plan to change it up soon

[agile swan]

@pale thicket and yet its still so cool

@pearl pagoda bunny town :0

[glacial steeple]

@agile swan the designs on the panels? I found them on the internet 😊 can inbox the designs if you like

[pearl pagoda]

Yes! Almost all bunnies 🐰

@swift stag Great photo!

How does it look out front?

[agile swan]

@fathom sonnet the statue on the right..... i feel like this game should be 12 + ;-;

[fading jungle]

@vast pasture i have cranston and flora and would die for them both

[fathom sonnet]

@agile swan thats art, usually art has no boarder

[elfin minnow]

Heres ny museum!

[vast pasture]

I have sandy and robin and I love them

[agile swan]

Guys i made a parking lot for timmy and tommy

[storm bluff]

@vast pasture i have roald and gladys !! love them so much

[vast pasture]

I just love the bird villagers

[queen nexus]

i decided i'm not going to delete my town bc that's just as much time and effort. so i'm going to just demolish my stupid waterfall and redo my 5 star map from the ground up. anyone else done the same?

[vast pasture]

Idk why

[elfin minnow]

Recently got Sherb from a mystery tour and yes

[vast pasture]

There cute

[true escarp]

Anyone want to visit I’m in Southern Hemisphere

[agile mantle]

@queen nexus in the process of doing that with my 4 star island

[queen nexus]

do you have a ton of stuff you need to destroy and put away too lol

[swift stag]

@versed wadi This is the main entry point, there’s a second one on the other side also

[agile mantle]

YES and move all my buildings onto the beaches

[queen nexus]

i figure, i can keep restarting over and over, but it won't matter if i'm always unhappy. so. i'll just fix what i have since i have judy + raymond + a bunch of NMT stashed away lol

i hope that's the right approach to take anyway

[queen nexus]

problem is even at max my inventory house is full so i have to empty it out looooool

[vast pasture]

Ahhhhh I just made something wrong and now I have to redo it

[elfin minnow]

God, I got saplings to plant by the museum but got distracted and threw them in the trash aaaaaaaa

[proper grove]

@queen nexus I did a full restart, but only at 3 stars, and even that felt like a lot to catch back up. I mostly wanted it for things that couldn't be moved though (resident services and airport locations)

[thick finch]

Ty for the museum entrances all

[queen nexus]

yea my RS is in a shitty spot but it's at least aligned with my airport

[agile mantle]

My rs is in a great spot but I have yellow airport

[past jetty]

What's wrong with yellow lol

[shadow socket]

Mine is right by my airport. Didn't have a whole heap of room to play with

[agile mantle]

I don't like yellow lmao

[vast pasture]

Here’s my progress on a water fall entry to my house

I have blue which is so basic I wish I had that red orange one

[vast pasture]

Is it just me or is the soundtrack just like MMMMMMMM

Lol

[shadow sable]

do you have to have a capture card in order to really record your island?

[agile mantle]

Nope 😔

[past jetty]

Nah just post to Twitter or Facebook

Then post the link here or download it and share the vid

[shadow sable]

what 30 second clips? LOL

[past jetty]

Yeah lol

That's the best you're gonna get

[spring apex]

hi anyone got tips on how to do rivers in the island designer?

[vast pasture]

Help the bushes there taking over

[elfin minnow]

AHHHHH

[dim copper]

@gloomy kayak personally, i’d leave the shops close to the airport in case you ever have visitors that would like to check out your shops. here’s mine (close to the airport)

[static dirge]

I just got a 5 star island I thought it’d never happen Jesus

[past jetty]

Oh congrats!

[spring apex]

in game my lay out is kinda bland and i have to start from 0, and i trying to rebuild

[true escarp]

How do you prevent drift on joy cons I experienced it too

[vast pasture]

WAIT

[lone plaza]

Btw you can officially order the mario oddysey joy cons from nintendo official @vast pasture

[spring apex]

the shops are there in game, and i plan to move residents to the beaches,

im struggling on making my island layout

and i wanna plan it in advance

[vast pasture]

That’s sick thank you

[dim copper]

@gloomy kayak thank you! i’m sure that no matter what design you choose, it’ll look great!

[ember kestrel]

I'm back guys, really anxious to hear your opinions!! please pick which one you think is most visually appealing, feel free to use reactions to pick or let me know what parts you like from each one. I'm trying to make this as nice as possible so I need your honesty. A B or C

[lone plaza]

I feel that things look better in the designer but when I execute my ideas on the game things don't work out that well for me at least

[pale thicket]

Is that a shed with resources ready next to a workbench 🥰

[hearty root]

Spent way too much time renovating this past weekend

[ember kestrel]

yes it is!! 😄

[dim copper]

C caught my eye! they all look great though! @ember kestrel

[lone plaza]

C looks just wow

[vast pasture]

Is it just me or does anyone else wish they could edit/move this

[woven drift]

yes omg

[dim copper]

i do!

so annoying, and how you can't put fences on it

[vast pasture]

YES oh thank god im not the only one

@pseudo palm

@versed wadi This is the main entry point, there’s a second one on the other side also
@swift stag Great minds. I'm going diagonal bridge but have extended the pond from outside Lucky's graveyard.

[dim copper]

any ideas on what i should put next to this walk way? the river and RS are there too

[winter grotto]

Oof i really need those simple panels

[austere cradle]

maybe like a little moat and bushes

[vast pasture]

Can we all take a second to appreciate how real this grass looks

[delicate shale]

bruh

[ocean sorrel]

they look like triangles

[analog atlas]

Hi everyone, I've heard of an app where you can see the layout of your map, can someone help with its name?

[vast pasture]

Lol

[delicate shale]

dorito weeds

[vast pasture]

[vast pasture]

Hey some bamboo in there

[austere cradle]

omg tysm

[vast pasture]

Get not hay

Ah I can’t spell lol

[dim copper]

i didn’t think of a moat, but that could be a cute idea! would i put the water next to the walk way, and the bushes outside? or the bush and then the water?

[queen nexus]

omg the worst part is i have NOWHERE to put shops and shit

all of my flowers occupy the beach

[austere cradle]

@dim copper either is cute!!

[pliant scaffold]

How many spaces do you need to place a tree? I have a square 1x1 “island” in the middle of my pond and I want to place a tree but I think I can’t?

[vast pasture]

It’s done

[brisk shadow]

you need a 3 by 3

[pliant scaffold]

Thank you sm

[ember kestrel]

I don't want to disappoint you guys, I see pretty much everyone liked option c the most. so I'll try to incorporate some of that into what I have currently :)

[peak bone]

I made a lil garden

[brisk shadow]

hehe are those weeds?

[dim copper]

you wouldn’t disappoint anyone! it’s your island and you can design it how you’d like!

[peak bone]

No I just planted them

[ember kestrel]

yeeah lol, I probably shouldn't be worried

[peak bone]

Roses and pansies

[brisk shadow]

[vast pasture]

What do you guys think of a water fall bridge I just made

[brisk shadow]

benict's cabbagepatch

[ember kestrel]

[austere cradle]

that is amazing omfg how

[brisk shadow]

ye thats dope i love the sections

[patent sky]

Ty I made all the signs myself!

[austere cradle]

i remember seeing like a star mountain on reddit with star shards does anyone have a screenshot

[patent sky]

Sorry I have to post one more just so you can see my beautiful beetle, 95% of these models were made by me

[buoyant gate]

My island looks like garbage after that lol

[patent sky]

Noooo that's so cute!!

[manic lantern]

Hey Goodmorning guys

[buoyant gate]

@patent sky Ty but I honestly need some more flowers or something, it looks a bit too empty

[manic lantern]

@buoyant gate that looks really good tho!

[patent sky]

Maybe add some Nova lights or a star clock turned backwards? Or some custom leaf patterns on the ground and maybe yellow or another color rose?

[swift stag]

@versed wadi I can’t wait for the outcome! I already know it will be incredible!

[spring apex]

how do people design their island :/ im having issues just deciding

[buoyant gate]

@patent sky good idea, just found some good leaf patterns

[patent sky]

I'd say just go with your guts! You can always change it later, I'm still changing things and have totally overhauled stuff I did at the beginning!

[spring apex]

i want my island to look more natural. and i just cant tell how i want cliffs or water to run,

like does this look natural?

[torn raptor]

does anyone have examples of what they did for outside/around able sisters? also i’m struggling if I should keep the shops next to each other or not

[patent sky]

@spring apex bend C4 river more downwards before it meets C5?

[versed wadi]

One idea for Able's

[torn raptor]

i like the cliffs @spring apex but the left river feels off to me

[patent sky]

And make B3 actually C3?

[spring apex]

see thats what i saying @torn raptor

[patent sky]

I'm talking about the rivers btw @spring apex

[versed wadi]

My current Able's layout

Actually, I've shifted it one square left since then.

[manic lantern]

@buoyant gate yeah just try whatever comes to mind. My first original island layout is no where near than that it is right now. And remember theres no real right way to do something

[torn raptor]

@versed wadi thank u!! that’s super cute

[patent sky]

@spring apex more like this, it isn't exact/ideal bc I'm using my finger to draw lol

[torn raptor]

@spring apex maybe have the left river end in a pond on level 1 and not connect to the top cliff pond?

[thorn basalt]

Thoughts? Ideas on what i should add/improve?

[patent sky]

@versed wadi that ables is the reason I redid my ables lol

[pine elbow]

does anyone have any good ideas for village/ neighborhood layouts?

[versed wadi]

I think I peaked with that. Nook's has been neglected since

[spring apex]

oooh that helps alot @patent sky

[faint path]

@versed wadi it’s so perfect I can’t..

[versed wadi]

@scenic blaze Just got the Garden Wagon. Thank you!

[scenic blaze]

@spring apex another tip i personally really enjoy is to stick cliffs towards the front too

[real orchid]

plaza leading to a cafe at the top

[scenic blaze]

yw wagon man

[spring apex]

@scenic blaze can i see what you mean?

[patent sky]

@spring apex here's it with the left river also

[scenic blaze]

yes one sec just posting my map on twitter and insta deleting lol

[patent sky]

Sorry it's really hard to get the shape I'm going for exactly without a stylus haha

[spring apex]

oh no this helps me alot

[scenic blaze]

@spring apex this is mine right now, natural themed, you can see that i have cliffs in the front and back with kind of a valley between

[swift stag]

@real orchid That’s so cute 😍

[idle topaz]

it work ?

[spring apex]

ok heres how it is currently

[swift stag]

@idle topaz 😍

[patent sky]

@thorn basalt please take this in the best way possible bc it is very cute, but what kind of area is this supposed to be? Like a cafe with music?

[versed wadi]

+1 on making your river run through valleys 🙂

[swift stag]

Eeek I want to curve my rivers now 😭

[real orchid]

@real orchid That’s so cute 😍
@swift stag it's a great place to leave dupe DIYs lol

[thorn basalt]

It’s supposed to be an outisde karoake bar area @patent sky

[patent sky]

@spring apex already looking better!

[ember kestrel]

I'm pretty happy with this one, and I know that's the most important thing, but I just wanted to ask one last time if you guys approve of my front yard, I tried to make everything work together

[spring apex]

idk how i would do the cliffs infront for my island

[versed wadi]

@ember kestrel I love the workshop!

[patent sky]

@thorn basalt oh I see! I haven't seen one before. Maybe add a TV for the lyrics and make the furniture white to contrast with your floor?

[ember kestrel]

ty! I just made some subtle changes and I think it's much better

[scenic blaze]

@ember kestrel i think this works great!!

[patent sky]

I'm also loving the workshop! Looks great!!

[ember kestrel]

yayy ty so much! I think I'll be satisfied with this one for awhile lol

[faint path]

@ember kestrel I Love the circled path with all my heart lol! It fits so perfect

[ember kestrel]

omg I just told the person who made it last night that I'm constantly using it, they're so sweet

[faint path]

I am using it all the time too lol

[small raven]

My island so far. I have a bit of room behind my nook shop. Any ideas what to do with it?

[ember kestrel]

I'm obsessed lol. ooh nice map!

[manic lantern]

@ember kestrel that looks amazing as always. Great use of making the best out of a small environment

[ember kestrel]

ty senpai 😭

[spring apex]

ok heres how i have everything looking now

[manic lantern]

Yes senpai notices you 😂❤

[ember kestrel]

[zealous pendant]

😂😂

[brisk meteor]

does any body have any good town hall designs?

[zinc hull]

does anyone have pictures of their house exterior? I’m customizing mine right now and I’m a bit stumped

[spring apex]

i think that might be home designs

[manic lantern]

Hey guys sorry for the postpone I was supposed to be hosting this yesterday but I ended up falling asleep haha.

Party starts today!!

BYOI (Bring Your Own Items)

No entry fee.

[zinc hull]

@versed wadi I love that! Looks really cool!

[ocean sorrel]

im brining my stone table

[manic lantern]

Awesome haha

[pliant hazel]

What's a catalogue party? Lol

[whole pike]

Anyone know some good stepping stone QR?

[manic lantern]

@pliant hazel Catalouge party is pretty much when a group of people gather together to touch trade items. So they can now order that item themselves

[pliant hazel]

Oooooh okay that sounds awesome

[raven kindle]

Can anyone send neighborhood layouts?

[polar iris]

my zen garden so far

[manic lantern]

I know alot of people need simple panels and I think I have all the colors so that's what I'll be bringing to the table

@polar iris that's so awesome man. Great use of QR pathing and love the little path across the river

[ember kestrel]

@whole pike here's a good one :0

5116-9644-5826

[whole pike]

@ember kestrel 🥺 those are so good looking TY!

[terse terrace]

@manic lantern yo can I come to your party today? 🥺

[ember kestrel]

you're welcome!!

[steep socket]

vee does really good paths, you can even commission her fyi @whole pike

[manic lantern]

If anyone else would like to come to the party today please DM I will be hosting mini games like musical chairs and a fishing tournament with a cash prize of "2 million bells"

[whole pike]

How do I do that?

[steep socket]

you pay real life money for her to create a design of your choosing

[whole pike]

Ohhhh

[fierce nest]

How do ypu guys like it?

[jaunty thunder]

It looks good. Mabey put a bench or chair there?

[fierce nest]

That would look good

[simple horizon]

I’ve been working on this shopping area. Any ideas on how to improve it?

[fervent aspen]

Have people been using the simple panels as walls?

[manic lantern]

@fierce nest that looks great maybe add some trees in the background between the moons

@fierce nest just to help fill up the empty space

@fervent aspen yeah I've seen alot of people use it. I actually use it for my movie theater area lol

[fierce nest]

I use it for my living room

@simple horizon maybe try adding some flowers to get more color!

[still bough]

@fierce nest i love the island i had an idea of a bunch of people saying thank you frontlines and your island looks great

[thorn kestrel]

How much space do people leave their villager houses?

[manic lantern]

@simple horizon you could add a mannequin behind the stall. I use this strategy throughout my island to make it feel more lively

[fierce nest]

@still bough Thanks!

[still bough]

your welcome

[manic lantern]

@thorn kestrel I've been seeing a good amount people leave at least 9x7

[spring apex]

im getting frustrated

[manic lantern]

@spring apex why what's wrong

[spring apex]

i am looking at it and i cant decide

i want a natual look, but i want symmetry

[elfin minnow]

Guys, would a Coconut Tree look nice in my museum area?

[thorn kestrel]

@thorn kestrel I've been seeing a good amount people leave at least 9x7
@manic lantern Oof that seems a lot

[pliant hazel]

Do you mean for a little garden around the villager houses?@thorn kestrel

[thorn kestrel]

Do you mean for a little garden around the villager houses?@thorn kestrel
@pliant hazel Yeah man

[manic lantern]

@spring apex maybe do half of the villagers on the left and the other half on the right

[vast pasture]

What do you think of this water fall bridge I made?

[spring apex]

like in the center @manic lantern island?

[pliant hazel]

I think I did a 8x5 or so

[manic lantern]

0@spring apex no off to the sides

[pliant hazel]

Wait nvm it's 8x7

[solar trench]

hey ive been sent here. can anybody help me build my island as my island is utter dog shit lol

[thorn kestrel]

Can I see anyone's residential areas for inspo

[scenic blaze]

natural but symmetrical is a hard balance to strike, nature in itself isn't symmetrical so idk the best way to incorporate symmetry into a natural build

[spring apex]

maybe i guess im thinking of where i want my residents

[solar trench]

Can anybody help me build my island as my island is utter dog doo doo

[scenic blaze]

@solar trench you won't find much help to help build your island from scratch. lurk for a while, come up with some ideas, start working on them, and we can give specific feedback

[solar trench]

ok

[manic lantern]

@solar trench We could help you. just give us more context and direction. IT's like a house we can't decide on the furniture or the color of the walls without the foundation

[spring apex]

this is how i have it on island designer

this is how i have it ingame

[solar trench]

Oook @manic lantern

[dim copper]

my residents are in a neighborhood type area. so....

[ember kestrel]

my villagers yards are 7x7 :)

[dim copper]

i wanted them to have yards lol. i wanted a cozy little area so everyone is really close together

[solar trench]

So i want everything flat so do i have to get rid of every bridge incline one by one or can you get rid of a dozzen ?

[manic lantern]

@spring apex It's like what she said it's difficult to have a symmetrical and natural island tie in together. but maybe instead of just neighboring your villagers all together have them paired in 2's and spread them across the island

[dim copper]

they didn’t get yards, but they are all cozy like i wanted

[manic lantern]

@solar trench You could only do one at a time but if you TT you could get it all done fast

@solar trench I wouldn't flatten your entire island tho

[solar trench]

o

why not ?

[manic lantern]

@solar trench the reason being is because it'll be very very difficult and frustrating to build upon

[spring apex]

thoughts on this?

[solar trench]

o//

[dim copper]

my stuff is symmetrical, but it isn’t natural. my map looks like this

[solar trench]

I have no idea you see as this is my first ac game -_-

[spring apex]

yeaaa thats what i did, and im struggling

@solar trench

[manic lantern]

@solar trench don't worry bro this is my first AC game too haha

[solar trench]

o

[fringe carbon]

ok but i really need help with terraforming around my museam

I just dont know how to make the cliffs around it even its frustrating

[woven drift]

Okay question, how is my cafe? Is there anything I need to add or change? (Garden seating in front)

[agile girder]

i’m not a huge fan of planning. when i started AC i didn’t know island planning was a thing

[fringe carbon]

at least i didnt put a ramp right in front of it

[solar trench]

it took me like 2 weeks to get to 3 stars that was the worst feeling in my entire life

i was tt too

[scenic blaze]

@agile girder your layout is really interesting, i'd love to see some ingame screenshots!

[faint path]

Bye boring museum entrance! This is my big new project: changing my museum entrance! This is my start , will keep you updated

[manic lantern]

@woven drift I love that cafe!! great use of furniture placement. maybe add some shrubs on the two sides of the entrance

[solar trench]

All these cool ideas and I have a plain boring island with just grass lol

[manic lantern]

@faint path Great job so far it looks great 🙂

[trim briar]

anyone into cottage core? msg men

[spring apex]

im honestly getting to that point i kinda just want some one to make me a map lol

[manic spear]

So! I want to have all my villager houses on the left side, going up from ground level to the 2nd cliff, but idk how do spread them out. I feel like there should be a middle plaza or something because the straight line looks kinda... boring. Anyone have any ideas of what I should do here, where I should put houses, and how much space to give them?

[woven drift]

@manic lantern ty so much! That’s a great idea I will definitely do that 🤗

[manic lantern]

@solar trench

[solar trench]

I hate that pig in ac. shes so cringy

holy moly

[manic lantern]

@solar trench @solar trench My best advice is to never judge yourself or compare your work to others

[agile girder]

@scenic blaze l will try but i don’t know where to start;;; everything is a wip !!!

[woven drift]

Make sure you give each house lots of space, and consider fencing and item placement. I had to redo my village home placement 3 times because I made it too crowded @manic spear

[manic lantern]

Envy will only cripple your creativity

[solar trench]

lol

[scenic blaze]

@agile girder of course!! don't post unless you want to. i just love your layout!

[solar trench]

if that is your kid @manic lantern she looks adorable

[manic lantern]

@solar trench start small. tackle one project at a time

[solar trench]

ok..

[manic lantern]

Ooh that's my niece haha ty

[vagrant haven]

i’ve done a lot of terraforming since yesterday, and i’m actually really happy. i had a flat island since the game started and i hated it so much but didn’t want to change it because it would be expensive but i’m so happy i did i ;-;

[solar trench]

oh sorry lol

[manic spear]

So what would a good center piece be for a residential area?

[idle topaz]

with a good pattern

[woven drift]

maybe a lake or fountain or something

[scenic blaze]

@vagrant haven yay!!! it's scary to start and often rough in the middle, but once it's done it's sooo satisfying

[past jetty]

Do you guys have a white tile kinda path? I need it for my ice cream parlor

[agile girder]

@scenic blaze thank you! i was thinking about opening my island too just for people to walk around and stuff

[vagrant haven]

@scenic blaze i’m still experimenting around and moving stuff, but i can just sell my stuff later to make up for all the bells wasted ! but i’d rather be happy & poor 🤣

[woven drift]

Anyone got dodo code and gates open

[knotty lodge]

So, I want to start work on my Island soon, I'm in the middle of trying to think off what I need to grab, make and build and such. But I want to know if it's even possible.

So, I play Warhammer 40k alot, and I want to transform my Island into my own little Warhammer 40k world, is it possible to have it in a Grim-Dark, Sci-fi setting?

[woven drift]

Island layout

[agile girder]

my market/park and part of my boardwalk, incomplete

[dry cradle]

@knotty lodge possible? yes. need tons of planing tho

[agile girder]

@knotty lodge you really don’t need planning. i got to where i’m happy right now by trial and error and doing one spot at a time

[scenic blaze]

@woven drift we have almost the exact same starting map!! map buddies

@woven drift this is it now tho

[woven drift]

The look I'm going for is the dark, mushroom forest vibe

[knotty lodge]

@dry cradle that's what I'm thinking. But trying to source out all the work, will be a pain, as I absolutely suck at using the custom features to make my own stuff...

[fringe carbon]

THAT IS

Okay question, how is my cafe? Is there anything I need to add or change? (Garden seating in front)
@woven drift that is lovely! you should add some shrubs and layer that with bamboo behind it! I think it would be really cute ❤️

[spring apex]

:/ yea im creatively fried i cant decide on how i want my island ;n;, i gonna look for some one to help me with an island lay out

[burnt minnow]

When my brain starts to fry like that creatively I honestly just step back and take a break

[agile girder]

@scenic blaze :OOO can i get a game ss of that water feature on the left?? it looks amazing on map

[burnt minnow]

Do something else/play something else and eventually inspiration will spark again

[spring apex]

ive just been looking at others and see their lay outs look so nice, and i just want a lay out then work at it with decorations

[scenic blaze]

@agile girder it's too huge for a screenshot to cover it loll gimme a minute and i'll take a few

[pine elbow]

could yall help me with ideas for rivers/ lakes? I like the idea of some little islands somewhere but I'm not sure where to start

[burnt minnow]

Yeah my biggest advice is just to not stress about it because that’s literally the opposite vibe animal crossing is supposed to give haha

[spring apex]

i get that, its just i ruined my island by flattening it

[agile girder]

@burnt minnow exactly^^^ don’t cry over terraforming he’s not worth it !!

[pure horizon]

can someone take a look at my map and tell me if its good or not? DM me c:

[burnt minnow]

You’d be surprised where you’ll get inspo too. There’s a cemetery on my drive to work that totally inspired me on how I wanted to make me in game graveyard

I saw a picture of a waterfall from WoW that gave me inspo for a waterfall in my game

[pure horizon]

i used to stress so much over it

[bleak elk]

Left or right? (Wood path is a planned wooden incline)

[manic lantern]

@woven drift That looks really dope bro. What helped me with my magical forest is also adding hyacinth lamps

[flat flame]

Anyone know the name of the signs people use outside of museums? the 2 by 1 vertical

[full pivot]

@bleak elk right

[real isle]

dose anyone have any ideas for free space ?? 🙂

[woven drift]

simple panels @flat flame

[flat flame]

thanks

[pliant hazel]

@bleak elk I would say on the right

[woven drift]

Thanks @manic lantern

[spring apex]

i just need a terraforming lay out i can just create then work with

i wish there was a good looking random generating one since i messed up mine

[bleak elk]

I made my whole island Lay-out with the pathing tool

[woven drift]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to dress up their beach areas ? Been trying to figure something out to make mine not plain but not having any luck lol

[versed wadi]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to dress up their beach areas ? Been trying to figure something out to make mine not plain but not having any luck lol
@woven drift You can't stray too far with Poolside chairs, beach balls and palm trees.

[dusk fractal]

Does anyone have some stuff they don’t want? Preferably something for outdoor. Dm please

[manic spear]

@woven drift I did this! Sorry about the dark rainy vibes rn tho

[woven drift]

my beaches look terrible but I saw this nice one in a video a while back

Wait wrong screenshot

Lol

[buoyant gate]

@woven drift this is mine:

[bleak elk]

@woven drift I plan a Vintage area alongside the Beach below my town area

[bitter olive]

Is it possible to make a huge heart river surround the town hall?

[fringe carbon]

^^^

[burnt minnow]

Those white wooden paths always look good on beaches. It’s what I’ve used too 😂
