DUDE IM DOING THAT TOO
@agile girder https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1258075185200001025 here's some screenshots from the lake!
Thank you all so much ! Looks like I have some recipes to find 😅
I need more QR slots lol
@versed wadi where do you get the beach towels?
I am gonna have a fish market by the dock
@manic lantern ok, i wanna ask this, should i just build with out a plan?
@copper socket customised furnitre item
i feel like im over thinking just a LAY OUT that im not getting anything done
@spring apex alot of creators build with an idea but not a plan that's down to the T
@versed wadi you can customize those?? TIL
see i feel like if i create that idea, i over think it
I am gonna have a fish market by the dock
@lone plaza I want to do this, I'm waiting for the next fishing Tourney, I didn't engage much with it last month
@scenic blaze thank you!! it’s so cute i need a turtle next to my pond 😳😳
i feel like im over thinking just a LAY OUT that im not getting anything done
@spring apex Start small
@versed wadi did you have to find diy for the towel first before customising
could yall help me with ideas for rivers/ lakes? I like the idea of little islands in a large lake but I'm not sure where to start
Pick one area work through it till you can get a decent screenshot. then move onto the next small area
ive looked everywhere but cannot find any qr codes at all.
@agile girder the turtles are my favorite items lol i have them ALL OVER
@versed wadi did you have to find diy for the towel first before customising
@copper socket I don't think they're DIY, I think they're catalogue.
right now i gonna try to get this lay out,
One of the best advice that I've learned was from an interview with will smith and he said this.
"When you go out to build a wall you dont start by saying I'm going to build the most perfect wall!! What you do is lay a single brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid everyday. And you will soon have a wall."
how can you customise and set out what layout you're going to do?
so what is reccomended before terra forming,
Literally I go piece by piece
Uhhh don't flatten your island unless you have one of those crazy hyper symmetry plans
here’s my bathouse that connects my beach and my boardwalk
how can i plan out my island like the pictures above? is it paint or some it lol?
photoshop*
@fringe carbon thank you! I don’t think I have room for fencing behind, i had that and not all my stuff would fit ): but I like the shrub idea ☺️☺️
Guys, if you are looking for some inspo, you might be interested checking this out. She has something in every corner~ https://youtu.be/JWyxcCGX2SA
I totally enjoyed every corner of "Beardom" island. You can really tell how much effort and ideas are spent in here. So beautiful and pleasing everywhere - from the cliffs to the sea~

Just go for it, start terraforming if you don't like it, change it…
A quote I really like is as follows…
so when terraforming which order should i go about things. move the houses to beach, then trees and flowers, then terraform?
@lone plaza I want to do this, I'm waiting for the next fishing Tourney, I didn't engage much with it last month
@versed wadi it will look amazing tbf I am taking inspiration from your island to build mine

Can I come see somones 5star town for more ideas for my town? DM me
Looking for some advice on what to put on my little island here
Hey ! I have this HUGE empty place in front of my house and i really don’t know what i should add. If someone has any ideas please tell me.. i give you some pics of my island so you can see what i’m looking for (lots of shop/coffee, terraforming) but actually my house is on the highest it could be so i cannot build cliffs
@versed wadi in another lifetime when i wasn't WFH i have a plaque of that in my office lol
@scenic blaze how can i plan my layout like the pictures above?
Tips on getting a villager out of your path when terraforming?
What fence should I use ;-;
how wide do rivers need to be?
@solar trench https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
push em
push em
@manic spear What if they're sitting?
can you not push em when theyre sitting?
Nope. 😂
keep walking into them until they move
@scenic blaze thoughts on just the terraforming of the layout i kinda want?
(which is like 5-6 times)
She randomly got up and walked away. Lol.
@scenic blaze thoughts on just the terraforming of the layout i kinda want?
@spring apex This looks like a great starting point. Take it in game and make a start
im moving all villagers to the beaches, then im moving the trees and flowers to the center
@spring apex i think the terraforming is good and looks realistic, start in one corner and build from there, and don't get discouraged if you have to make tweaks. i am constantly adjusting my terraforming as i go even when i plan it first
What fence is best for brick path
What fencing should I use for my ice cream parlor? I want the main color to be pink, so what would match with that?
where can i put the shell arch? i need ideas
@scenic blaze should i got layer 2 then 3? or water first
@spring apex personally i would do all the cliffs before touching water
Oooo the shell arch I should use that here
alright tyvm, time to tt;n;
@past jetty maybe iron fence, the blue would contrast well
Because the ice cream parlor is beachside
What fence is best for brick path
I was thinking that too! Me and my sister talked about it and we came up with either lattice, iron, or brick.
@low drift pick a fence and try it and see if you like it
ok
@low drift I think the one from the last update could be great ! (Idk how it’s called in english)
hedges
anyone have nice villager yard/residential inspo?
What does it look like
do y’all think i should lay dirt path down under the flowerbeds or leave them as grass? 🙂
@ashen radish I have a nice little residential area I can send photos right now for inspo! I terraform quite a bit
@clear field that’s so fucking cute
i have this little area on my island, i was gonna make it a zen garden but i’m going to make a big one on the other side of my entrance- any suggestions on what i can do? i’m going for a wildlife theme so it has to be kinda natrual
@clear field I usually think light dirt path under flowerbeds looks nice. Worst case scenario, pull it all up and then try it and see how it looks.
@patent vector yes please, tysm!!
@sterile stratus campfire
@rocky siren my island depends like this
Consistency isn’t a bad thing 👀
thanks y’all, i might experiment with a section and see how it looks 🙂
that’s true-
is it strange if you have to hop over the mourners to stargaze
ah wait i have an idea!
Whoever did this is a legend
i-
@low drift it’s more city/town looking island ? Then i guess fence like the Zen one, stone or brick could be good
@rocky siren when I do the brick one sideways it looks cramped
9/10 not enough water
my idea is to create for every idea a new little island
Like is there a good fence for city style going sideways?
@low drift then try another one ! I personally use zen and bamboo one
@rocky siren I’ll try coral fence
Inspo**!
@ashen radish not sure if this has sent yet my phone is tripping but here’s some ignore! Ignore my dogs in the background haha
I wish I was that far in the game. is it still just as interesting?
i have been tryna get my island upto 4 stars atleast, anyone know what else i could do to get it there?
@pine sierra Isabelle will tell you exactly what you need to do on your island to get it up to 5*
Hey I wanted a double staircase up to a cool fountain and flower area to my house. Does anyone have anything like this to inspire me?
when she sais "appealing scenery", does she mean just decorate with items and flowers and trees?
appealing scenery is furniture
okay, thank you
same though
they gross
im gonna put "proffesional waterbug catcher" on my resume i have so many
lol
Can you build a bridge over land on the second level ?
guys where should i put the other stores?
no sadly not@frank prawn
and i wana add more water where shoul i put it?
Boooooooo😭😭😭😭
started from da bottom now we here
Merengues Bakery,
Idk if this is the right place but I need everyone’s opinion on something
go ahead
These are my current villagers, I’m keeping them all except papi who I’m replacing with Roald and Sherb who I’m giving to my friend, problem is I don’t know which of these 3 villagers to replace him with
Should it be pietro, walt, or beau? Technically speaking I would want beau the least but I still love him
I guess it depends on who you like the most lol
Depends on the personality, for me at least
I would have taken Beau because I love the lazy personality type haha
I still really need help on a design for a double staircase area to go up to my house
Smug personality is great
I have a double staircase to my museum but it's pretty unspectacular
@blazing flame I wonder what app you use to list ur villagers?
True@ocean sorrel
i got dooky villgers
@pliant hazel can I see I think I have the top figured out
it's the Nintendo switch app
Sure
Anyone knows how many things we can "drop" at the same time maintaining 5 stars?
below 15
oh thanks!
seashells and branches don't count towards it cause they're found in the wild
Man I wish we can drop more skjdsadk
ikr :( they limited a lot of people's creativity
@jolly pond
Anyone have a marketplace area with able sisters and nooks cranny?
I can't decide on either have a symmetrical or unsymmetrical island layout. I made some rough drafts but ultimately just want to know if I should go with symmetrical or unsymmetrical
Unsymmetrical
Asymmetrical !! it feels more home-y if that makes sense
Hi! Can y’all help me decide something. I’m trying to pick what incline to use leading up to my orchard, either the natural or wood one. The rest of my inclines are also wood
unsymmetrical islands are much more appealing to me
@jaunty thunder personally the unsymmetrical one is more interesting to me, but it's your island and your personal preference that should be the deciding factor
Maybe symmetrical if ur going for an urban kind of feel ?
Asymmetrical!
ahhhhhhhh help
I was personally thinking unsymmetrical. Thx
https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/gemxfc/a_link_to_the_past_dark_world_edition_featuring/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share y'all see this??
@jaunty thunder unsymmetrical leads to Many more possibilities in my opinion, since with symmetrical, you’re sorta only decorating half the island, and copying it on the other end.
here is my asymmetrical map!
that map is insaneeee @frosty spruce
that looks so pretty,, I love the lay out
looks amazing wow
aw thank you !!
My only problem with the symmetrical map was what to put on the out side parts of the long rivers.
old picture i’ll send the updated later!
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 someone to visit my island to give help and guidance if possible! thank you! i would be willing to pay you in nmt accordingly for you time! 

also i’m stuck at 4* ):
hahah same cuz i like trees too much
Im learning to do asymmetrical too and woof theres so many things to do lol
and i haven’t placed any finishing touches such as flowers etc
Here’s my asymmetrical...not quite done yet
very nice!
if anyone was wondering what my skinny rivers look like!
inspo from honeycrossing!
Can someone send me som inspiration for a bee keeping spot? 🙂
i love these!! might try them on my island
This is from a couple of days ago. The museum gardens section is 90% finished now
i’m currently working on mine!! i’ll send you a pic of it ends up looking good! @tribal laurel
my map LMAO
Thanks @frosty spruce !
me, making rivers: must be,,, more,, bendy,, hh
@plush hill
@versed wadi I really like how your villagers have their own areas!
This is mine. I have a double waterfall surrounding my house with 2 inclines to get to it
A lot of water haha
I regret not having my town hall directly in front of the airport so much...
@frosty spruce omg that’s gorgeous wtf
I neee a bit of advice,I’d like to relocate my villagers to give them more room and yard space but im not sure what I can do. Any advice?
Depends on what kind of yard you're looking for! Do you want your villagers to have a front or back yard? ^^
Looking for people to design my island dm if interested
I'm thinking more front yards
maybe try to back the houses up as much as possible to the cliff? that way they get a bit more room for a front yard
@versed wadi your island is goals
This is my map! I recently got my 5 stars and all of my villagers have a front/back yard! Maybe it helps? Hopefully haha c:
does anyone have any tips for terraforming? i just got access to it and i’m afraid i might destroy my island lol
@woven drift try to map out what you want to change first, then do small projects at a time
@woven drift start small. don't do your whole island at once. pick one place where you think "hey, a cliff would look nice here" or "i want to see a waterfall here" or something and work in that one small space
i’ll definitely keep that in mind!
Try plan out where you want to terraform and check 2-4 times if that is really what you want! Because sometimes people makeover there whole island and end up hating it and redoing everything. So start small and try to plan! @woven drift
thank you!
anyone wanna send their campsite for inspo :o trying to work on that today & don’t even know where to start
here's mine from a couple of days ago https://twitter.com/pipwyn/status/1256579044197445633?s=20
Hey I need some help with my museum entrance, what did you guys do with it? I have some ideas but I don’t really know where to start
my new entrance! ft bob and punchy in the background
Mine isn't really special
Hey this is mildly related, but I was wondering if anyone has seen english templates like the below to make a digital layout/display for your town? I know a lot of ppl on here frequent twitter but all the templates I find are from korean twitter users ><
another example
I put my campsite near the beach area 🌤
Does anyone have an example of an entrance where the airport path/town hall center is off by ONE square?
@green canopy that looks amazing. Great use of terraforming :)
and they're ~15 blocks apart
@manic lantern !! thank u! 🙏🏽
@loud musk close enough?
can anybody show me examples of foresty/natural themed island entrances?
I regret not having my town hall directly in front of the airport so much...
@tawny schooner these days i wish my town hall is further away from the airport 😦
@white wind the airport path and the doors are off by 1, not the edge. thanks tho
@gray sparrow same
ahh, lol that sucks
@loud musk I have that
The town hall is too close to ariport xc
something something grass greener other side..
@broken furnace link me the originals
Hows my entrance?
Would anyone be willing to water my flowers 🥺
@gray sparrow Exactlyyyyyy... Like it affected my layout so much and made every thing look lopsided
@woven drift that’s the exact vibe i’m going for! thanks for the inspo (::
Hows my entrance?
@woven drift stunning
Same
Any tips for this area?
mt entrance needs some work BADLY
i just finished making a flimsy fishing rod... 😥
Hey this is mildly related, but I was wondering if anyone has seen english templates like the below to make a digital layout/display for your town? I know a lot of ppl on here frequent twitter but all the templates I find are from korean twitter users ><
@broken furnace I don't think it would be that hard to make with photoshop or Illustrator
We need to petition to be able to move the rs building plot
Personally I like to litter the ground with nice/cute QR paths. It kinda works!
1w2
I put my campsite near the beach area 🌤
@green canopy Love that campsite!
Anyone have any space/celeste areas theyve made? On their island. Cant seem to find any.
Looks cool tho! But if you want to improve it you can keep the original layout and add more qr codes of maybe flowers/grass on the ground! Also, bushes are quite nice to full up space @woven drift
Need some inspiration
ive learned that you just have to add the most random crap everywhere and it’ll look good
Anyone have any space/celeste areas theyve made? On their island. Cant seem to find any.
@earnest kayak That's the next thing on my todo list also 🙂
@versed wadi damn, let me know when u do!
@woven verge thanks for the feedback! i think i’m just gonna destroy the whole thing since this was more temporary but i’ll try that!
@earnest kayak I have one kind of spacy area that's still a WIP tho haha. I can still show you tho! c:
@woven verge yes pls!
How does this look?
@versed wadi JDSHksa thank u!! 🥺 💦
sadly I couldn’t get the house and the incline to line up...
@delicate swallow better than my island...
Started by moving Lily’s house! I have to move the little park area I have next to her house
hi guys🥺 can someone dm me if ur willing to look at pics of my island and help me out pls! < 3
Any tips for the town hall being TOO FREAKING CLOSE to the airport? 😂
Can anyone show us the ladino's entrance layout?
I have a few ideas for the kind of thing ill do with my beach, obviously none are even close to finished, do any of them look like a good start?
:)
My biggest problem... figuring out where to put the residents,, but,,,, it shall pass ,,..
the outside of my entrance is ok tho!! i think
Hey. Can someone come to my island and tell me if it is bad. I have been watching too many 5 star island tours and I am starting to feel like my island sucks even tho it is 4 stars.
hey! what do you guys have done around the secret beach ? (Redd related) 🙂
@vast cradle i love the sand dollar table!!
can anyone send pictures of their market? i dont know where to put ables, museum and nooks cranny

Anyone knows how i can fix this?
Hi guys! Quick question, does this top part ( circled ) look even?? I feel like there’s something slightly off but I can’t put my finger on it
@vast cradle i love the sand dollar table!!
@woven drift Thanks! Does the stool with it look good, or do you think should I use one of the other chair options?
what do you guys think of this little beach area?
@shadow flare so cute !!! I love it
@balmy jetty I think one of the corner parts where it goes inwards is slightly bigger than the other
@earnest kayak Here is my little space spot! Stoll working on it but it's coming along ^^
if anyone that has a 5 star island likes to design islands and would like to help me with island layouts pleaseeee pm me! i can send you a pic of my map or you can come to my island to see where it now and then design one. whatever i would need/have to do i will do i just need a layout and i suck at using happy island designer.all of my designs are aweful 😂
@vast cradle thank you sm !!
@vast cradle maybe try something with a lighter color? just so it matches the table better. other than that it looks great!
Hey guys! My house wont centre properly so i have to move it somewhere, any ideas where i could move it? (:
@woven verge mind if i use this for insp i was meaning to put a moon themed area in my lake
Hey. Can someone come to my island and tell me if it is bad? I have been watching too many 5 star island tours and I am starting to feel like my island sucks even tho it is 4 stars.
hi can i have an opinion this is my museum entrance, and now im having second thoughts because im using 4 incline
, should i just use 2 or keep it? thanks in advance.
Does any of you have a good Redd's area?
@shadow flare No problen, I don't mind ^^
Is this too much yard space for lily?
@reef pulsar Probably just use 2, since there's a limit of 8 inclines total, and you might want to use them elsewhere, but it looks good besides that!
Depends on what you'll put there
@reef pulsar I like the 4 inclines
@vast cradle for ex this color might look better
This is my center for the residential area. Does this look good? Or is it too walled in?
@manic spear add benches around the fountain 😍
@woven drift tysm!
Would a river going through here look good? Like would adding a bridge make this area look nice?
Should I put them next to the fountain or like up against the flower beds?
y’all see this design in the beach? I NEED IT BUT I CANT FIND IT!!! plz send the code for this one or something similar!!
yeah the 8 incline limit is making me crazy
@woven drift .
thankyou
@turbid hollow
@reef pulsar it looks good either way!
@manic spear against the fountain
How can i fix this?
@glacial shoal wow, I've never seen the airport so close to the side of the map. that's interesting, as for your question I think it would look nice, but it can also look nice without it :)
@formal basin u can’t
Ok thank you @ember kestrel
Hey. Can someone come to my island and tell me if it is bad? I have been watching too many 5 star island tours and I am starting to feel like my island sucks even tho it is 4 stars..
Oh rip thx @turbid hollow
@formal basin you can't you always have those river mouths
Sad
and they can't be moved either sadly
Haha
So so sad
@formal basin I had same problem, just made it into a fishing bay lol
that's why you're supposed to pick what you want when you first launch the game
it's a very important decision
@formal basin I had same problem, just made it into a fishing bay lol
@tidal pike lol i’m gonna think what i’m gonna do with it
yeah but you really have no idea that far ahead how you'll want to make your island, or at least most people don't
lol gl :)
it sucks if you just didn't do any research and have to suffer with the map you picked
This is my ice cream parlor so far, going to use wooden furniture I think. Need ice cream items and stuff.
I hate the map i picked and im not about starting my game over
I do find it weird that in a game that has so much customization of items that it doesn't go the whole distance and allow for altering stuff like that
That’s why you need to add on as you go
Or ya gonna disappoint yourself
starting over just ain't worth it lol
i actually wanna restart my island but alas im in too deep
Don’t! U can still work with what you got
just got to think your way around it
if anyone that has a 5 star island likes to design islands and would like to help me with island layouts pleaseeee pm me! i can send you a pic of my map or you can come to my island to see where it now and then design one. whatever i would need/have to do i will do i just need a layout and i suck at using happy island designer.all of my designs are aweful 😂
I'm so glad I've never felt the impulse to restart
I need ideas for all my empty landddd
I love my island as it is and restarting gets rid of all of that and that really sucks.
100% water island
I wanted to restart my island 2 weeks/less into the game and even then I didn't think it was worth it, I just learned to love the one I picked. it was hard though
Does anyone have a nice Redd's layout?
Also funny how they let you change everything about your island and people still find things to compline about
what is good furniture for an outdoor restaurant \cafe?
honestly the best islands come from using what you have to the fullest, the harder it is to design means the more creative you can get
<@&494448231036747777>
@raven kindle not mine but it’s a good idea
@magic cypress menu board?
i get so intimidated when i watch the 5 star island tours
i feel like then my island looks like trash
same
thanks 
Guys I need help what do I do with my entrance.. its so dam close to resident services
it's an awful feeling..
Is there any hope
the man redd stays strapped with a katana jus in case
Can anyone help me with deciding which incline to use? Should I use the natural or wood- the res of my inclines are wood but idk
@ebon vine waterfalls?
My updated layout. The bottom left is still an incredibly early wip, it's basically a fetus still
no please I dont want the double waterfall everyone has that
Imma build a dumb rock temple
@ebon vine maybe put a public bench?
If you move that house maybe
Nana is actually moving out so I'm going to use my nmt to get mats and also find Sherb 👀
question: how,,,, do I make the rivers look all bendy???
well im gonna move the house ye
guysss there's always an option when your rs is close to airport, it's a big problem for a lot of people, but if you get creative there's an endless amount of things you can do even with small spaces. if you use cliffs to create a valley/path it'll feel closed in intentionally and be awesome
everytime I do it its quite stiff looking at the map 💦
@green canopy if you change the corner of a tile from a square into a sloping shape you can make gradients in rivers
Something like this maybe? This mine btw @ebon vine
i can’t wait @frozen axle
one sec, I'll get a screenshot
@night fjord I see I see I will try that
My RS is very close to the airport too (:
yo thats pretty good @reef pulsar thank u :D
My plan so far 🥺
no worries

@faint path yours is a perfect example on what to do with the small space! you used terraforming to your advantage and it looks great
Oooooo that looks so good! Not too much pathing, lots of use of the levels... Really good!@round compass
my island layout is pretty straightforward
@ember kestrel ty!
you're welcome 😘
everyones island has sooooo good layouts and then theres my bad one 🤣
this is my map right now after i cleared the trees im gonna finish my museum entry which is that mountain in the back but terraforming is sooo tedious
i wish you could move switch saves around
anyone have a nice orchard layout?
@past jetty ty this is my island so far so a long ways to go 😫
yeah
@analog solar yeah you can
Yes
I'm doing a lot of remodeling of my residential area rn.. the idea I had awhile ago isn't working out
amazing
i mean u could if u wanted but i dont think u will get 5 stars if u have no trees at all
Not the river ends tho
@sour mason
1 down, 9 more houses to spread across the land
ty 🙂
@turbid hollow very nice!
WOW
@faint path thats so beautiful 
I did a similar thing, if the sight of your RS from your airport is upsetting you. Hide the RS 🙂
i feel like all double south do the same thing but it's hard to plan around the two rivers lol
WOW i saw some crazy terraforming here
You'll get there! My island was so blank initially but then I got here so don't give up! Also your design is on the simpler side (which is not a bad thing at all) so it shouldn't be all too difficult. Make sure to update us on your progress!@round compass
I will
Can i see someones flower garden to see what colours and types go together?
Hey. Can someone come to my island and tell me if it is bad? I have been watching too many 5 star island tours and I am starting to feel like my island sucks even tho it is 4 stars.
Pink goes well with pink
No one is going to tell you your island is bad because it isn't@full patio
Red goes well with red
I'm doing white and pink :)
Stop watching 5 star island tours if they make you feel that way.
White goes well with white
THIS is how a existential crisis looks like. I just wanted to redo the museum and started terraforming my whole island....
Mine is still in the works also, slowly getting there
black and red kinda goes well
Can i see someones flower garden to see what colours and types go together?
@errant spindle I suck with colours, so just did a huge field of a single flower and colour. Play to your strengths 🙂
@versed wadi love that idea
Iwagumi setup with rocks and only 1 flower type
i dont like my island layout anyone got ideas ?
what should I put in floras yard
pink and white go well together
@fast cape mr and mrs penguin
what’s that lol
She taxidermied her parents
Flamingo lol
how is this looking? is it too clunky...
Try the white tulip+ white hyacinth + Yellow pansies combo, trust me it’s the bomb!
mr. flamingo or mrs. flamingo
@barren karma I like the pathing
where can I get that lol
sometimes at the nook shoping
Hi! Does anyone have an image saved that shows the grid spacing of houses/shops? I’ve seen one earlier today I just can’t find it.
This is a terrible photo but I love the mini restaurant area I made
visibility gonna be kinda bad once those trees are fully grown @barren karma try shrubs instead?
How does this look so far?
Whatre some furnitures for an alien god summoning theme
what do guys think is the best starting map layout?
Ankhas gonna be up to some shit
my maid cafe ❤️
I think south east river mouths with a decent distanced rs and airport
@faint path I know what you mean I wanted to move my mailbox and then I moved three villagers houses and my own. 😂😂
Doesn't have to be aligned but if you can then absolutely perfect
How do people get their islands to look so good
^ spending way too much time on this chat LOL
Decorating, having a plan before you do things really helps
Using furniture everywhere it fits, stuff like that
its all trial and error. i terraformed mine like 3 times till i got what i want
also be true to yourself.
Yeah it really is; I redid mine multiple times too
Loll! Can someone come to my island and give me constructive criticism? It’s a 5 star island but I feel like it could look better haha
And also don't compare to other people island, is what really helped me -- it made me feel so demotivated in the beginning
@onyx hill i see tokyo mew mew, i love your island already
its nice to have alot of inspirations but then again. its all your style
Hi, y’all! Which incline should I choose
kat i cant @ you but feel free to come to mine xD
if anyone that has a 5 star island likes to design islands and would like to help me with island layouts pleaseeee pm me! i can send you a pic of my map or you can come to my island to see where it now and then design one. whatever i would need/have to do i will do i just need a layout and i suck at using happy island designer.all of my designs are aweful 😂
Any ideaa for furniture along the left of the path? Needs to match the theme
ill visit later. i trust anyone who likes tokyo mew mew
can anyone send their market? i dont know what to do with ables, the museum and nooks cranny
@frozen axle you could put a golden toilet there with gold roses around it?
Send more Redd's layouts please
if u can find this kamehameha statue
Servers? or you could custom design simple panels with designs like that @frozen axle
Oh servers is nice
anything thats gold. or from gulliver's @frozen axle
Kind of a space odyssey 2001 sort of thing
What should I add to this, it's supposed to be a kinda natural theme and it looks too empty to me
Am I the only one who feels like it’s impossible to have a nice museum entrance without using at least to inclines?
@onyx hill can I get a closeup of the anime characters in my DMs? I’m on 1.0.0
for like a natural theme should i scatter my homes ot could i do like a neighborhood
@buoyant gate maybe some larger potted plants? Like Monsteras are pretty good
Inclines just look cool, it can be done without
I can’t find anyone with mr and mrs flamingo 🦩:-:
The incline limit is really restraining me
Maybe a mossy rock?@buoyant gate
i know the trees will make it super crowded, i like the crowded look personal... but im just curious whether the paths are too clunky.
i think it could be possible... first cool museum design i saw had it built into the side of a hill
oooh a mossy stone-lion statue would fit in the natural area as well
very natural look
Does anyone have a museum entrance without inclines that they can show?
I found Margie on my first nmt tour lol not who I'm looking for but pretty cool
I’m really needing some inspo
I saw some with two ponds in front with some fencing that looked alright but I don’t have a picture rn
@night fjord if you're talking to me then yeah that would be a good idea:)
The museum doesn’t always need inclines
u could incorporate a museum + outdoor garden idea. think that'd look wonderful too
does anyone here have mr and mrs flamingo for my island layout for Flora
@drifting helm lyin to yourself inclines are awesome
thoughts on my zen/bamboo garden?
💓
feedback is always appreciated !
i want to make all of this space the market but i dont know where to begin. can anyone send pictures of their market as inspo?
but i respect the t rex model
I'm too lazy to put inclines infront of my museum
Look at all the cool stuff I have next to my house (no I’m not talking about the house itself)
But someone’s claiming you need two inclined to have a decent museum, that’s not always true.
people use like 4 inclines for theirs
@woven drift roads down both sides lined with markets?
picturing a river side lined with stalls
Okay, well props to them but I’d like to actually have a second floor on more than two places of my island LMAO
Hhh it’s just that I REALLY don’t want to waste two inclines just for the looks
ngl i was planning to make this a grand entrance for the tailors as a subversion but im gonna make the tailors a gift shop of sorts
^^^
You should try to build a moat around it.
Like surround it in water, put a few statues
ugh i wish i could make my museum like that but it’s on a middle island rn in my island
Can anyone show us the Redd's layout?
Maybe a small pond
that is hot holy...
@prisma fractal I’m sorry if I came across that way but I didn’t mean to say that you HAVE to have inclines to have a decent entrance, I can’t afford the inclines myself and I’m looking for examples to see what to do
This video helps me a lot, its in japanese tho https://youtu.be/c2A2Jf_U1QA @sage gorge

island layout so far..... i have to make the neighborhood, fix museum and just fill empty spaces but idk where to start
I changed the stone to hedges, I think this looks a lot better!
Curved or not curved
A Simple park museum. I've spent close to half a million today moving my museum and bridges about. wishing i'd have just left it like this at the minute.
not curved imo
Oh yeah no, I understand, it’s a big waste of money to put something and then tear it down asdfghjkl
@sage gorge imagine this area with a museum at the front or center
Any ideas for extra megaloceros? (I mean the deer type fossil) I got two extra that I wanna put somewhere.
i think a wide open park space + museum could look good if done right.
But like, if someone else straight up saying inclines are needed aside from you
Then no, they’re not absolutely necessary, it’s possible to make it pretty without—
And I have no doubt that you’d be able to do that without an incline
I’m aware, it’s just that sometimes it feels like it and it makes me very frustrated
no incline or bridge challenge
I don’t want to waste two inclines on an entrance
cute way of putting flowers on your island imo😋
I know but I’m finding it very hard to feel satisfied with the look of my entrance without them
using an alt account to do horror stuff
just for fun
would somebody be down to come visit my island to give me some advice on what i can do to improve?
I wanted to put my flowers that way but the empty space looked off
i dont even have incline or anything in front of my museum. its so straightforward
I just see everyone else’s entrances with the inclines and it makes me feel less confident
@sage gorge same
use people's islands as motivation, not deprecation 🙏
If I were to put vending machines, should they go inside or outside the hedges?
This is the entrance to my museum but idk if I should change it up 👁👁
i love that omg
omg that looks sick:0
meanwhile my museum entrance LOL. this is my style
i mean the museum fits the street vibes well cause its a building
what are the dimensions of the camp site?
they're in the pins Gluten
okay
my museaum is bad 😅
i like thos path patterns!!!! @snow seal
Does anyone have a good strip mall/ store plaza area that I can see for inspiration?
That’s actually really good
I love how it’s on a lil island
You just gave me an idea
I think you solved my incline problem
@real isle what path is that on top of? I never know where to put the transparent part for the path
Okay, so I want to put a table and a sewing machine w/ clothes around it but then I want to put jail bars around it. It has a dark but honest meaning behind it, it'll be next to Ables should I do it ?
I need help with my island
Can anyone show us their Redd's area layout?
I'm on 4 star but I'm not happy with how it looks at all
ngl i didnt even plan my island im just messing around with terraforming and it works lol
@woven drift if you start with small parts you can get advice by using screen shots and work from there
I hate it and I can't figure out how to make it beautiful
what do you mean ? :)
@graceful oasis
sheesh. I love something I made then the next day I want to tear it all down for a new idea 
We can't really give you advice about how to make an entire island look good
Idek what to do with my marketplace too it feels dry ☠️
@woven drift lol same
its all depends..
@woven drift me too! everytime
@real isle the path outside of your museum, if you kicked off the custom design what is underneath?
put eating area in the middle? @snow seal
step 1.) make a list of what you wanna do for your island
step 2.) try and plan it out on a pic of your island
step 3.) work
General advice on building and specific advice about parts of an island though, that's stuff this chat can help with
or just wing it @woven drift
Can someone help me with the math to turn my current map into an editable template on eugeneration? I'm about to flatten my island for the 3rd time to redo it because I'm bored with it lmao
I tried doing that but I ended up going in a completely different direction lol
@onyx hill technically what im doing
I really have to start planning my layouts ahead of time
its goin well ig
thats what im doing too LOL
grass 😅
@graceful oasis
Wait how.. I gotta mess around with designs more
where can i put the museum
@crisp oasis a tip: don’t completely flatten ur island because it’ll take way longer than u if just add and take off whatever u have because you’ll have to demolish everything and then put it all back, but you might have already had a lot there
oh holy hell
if I have only grass, it becomes square and doesn't have the curved ends or anything
that looked sick LOL
its my reference pic and idk where the museum would go
its true. better to edit, not flatten!
@woven drift I want a completely different layout of what I have now. I've redone my island 2x already from scratch. I flatten every time and work up from a template on paper and it works well, but I want this one to be acre-accurate so I don't run into issues with spacing.
I hate terraforming omg I’m about to hire flower pickers ☠️
@valid merlin there's actually a museum in Unova in the town before you get to the mainland
here?
anyone with a right river mouth map
@valid merlin there's actually a museum in Unova in the town before you get to the mainland
@night fjord ill check lol
@valid merlin I would put it in the center without knowing where the map came from
i wanna hire flower pickers but i don’t wanna trust anyone ya
does anyone know how long does it take to terraform a hole big square of the map
could be a day a week a month
a year
Yeah I feel like they’d steal the flowers instead smh
@crisp oasis redoing an island a 3rd time..man thats some short island lifetimes lol
bruh
Trust me when I say flattening works for me. I redo it in sections, and it's easier to flatten it completely and redo the sections. I redo my map every other week. I just need help making an acre-accurate template for my res serv and my river openings.
Vivian loves my cafe!
i actually dont mind helping doing the flowers
@queen nexus 
@queen nexus what are you planning?
this the museum in the anime i think
Did someone do an arcade of some sorts?
If I ever have to place another mannequin again, I'm gonna lose it
I kinda stop liking long as waterfalls
yeah hc, it's in the town with the railroad tracks
exactly why i'm removing mine lol
oh i have this area 51 on my island. i cant take a whole picture cause its big.
can't remember the name of it at all
@lilac trench gratz!
what are the demensions of a villager house or how much space should i give them for a yard?
If you got Bruce as a villager, could you send me a pic of how his house looks on the outside? I’m designing a yard for him, and don’t got it on my island yet
idk what do you guys think would be faster a complete restart or redoing the bad areas of your toen
@manic spear there's a pin for building dimensions
oh bet
@manic spear do you want it to be packed with a fence or open with a fence?
@queen nexus dont complete restart it's a grind to get everything back. Your items, your nook miles, your museum, your recipes
hmm... kinda depends on the villager ya know?
plus my good villagers lol
just scrap the area.... not complete restart
@manic spear i started with giving them a 7x7 garden with the house in it
But thats kinda small
I’m looking for a jar of honey for my bee keeping area. Does anyone know if honey is a thing in this game??
I have no clue what to do with my island..
I think im at 8x8 and im happy with the space
i wonder if my rating finally dropped because i've been removing things over the past few days and it was still 5 star last i checked
@manic spear you could do something like this
9 x 7 fences gives you 5 x 3 space inside to decorate
oooooh
sadly no @tribal laurel
thats nice
but u can use path patterns somehow
Yea thats nice
Ty @onyx hill saw it was available for pocket camp so thought I’d try & ask
Can anyone share their island maps?
My house and house entrance takes up like most of the space rip
Far left and right not done yet
@night fjord ooooo..... that campsite placement tho, thanks you just gave me an idea 
yeah, can show what it looks like if you want? It's a pretty nice setup
if its ok with you then sure 
If you got him as a villager, I would really appreciate if you sold me a picture of his house, I want to design a yard for him and don’t got him on my island yet
I've literally been forced to quit this game with how bad I am at layouts, It's driven me to such anger trying to make anything look nice
it's a marathon, not a sprint
work on it little by little and next thing you know, you got a nice island
I’m scared that’ll happen to me..
Also this is my map its still a mess, because i always got distracted and work on other areas instead lol
Could I see some museum entrances? Thanks guys
i shared it before but here it goes again
@reef pulsar
I had a five star rating. Then flick came to my island. I have a three star rating now
How can I show that something is winter themed without using snow
lmao
It's been changed up a bit and some weeds grew
did use your bugs as a furniture
@night fjord oh wow.......OH WOW
I had bugs down for selling
I've bene using greys and whites in my palette but I need actual items and such
lmao, I'm also about hit 5 stars and then bomb into 4 again because of how many bugs I have saved up
@idle cave maybe some of the wreaths on houses? dropping presents
Can anyone help me with a map design? Just got terraforming
just found out that you can’t line up staircases with the museum and my day is ruined
I’m super lost now
Wreaths could work, yeah... ty 🙂
I really don’t know what to do with my museum entrance now
Fixed up my campsite. I need some more stuff but I like it so far
I just tried to make my campsite farm like
wut should i change or add 😔
wish i could put dirt paths under the campsite 
@reef pulsar it’s so hard to picture how to change it with this layout!
@idle cave Also, there's probably TT'ers selling illuminated present DIY
hee hee
@sage gorge Make them at the side? So it's like
..... Museum
Stairs.......Stairs
@sage gorge yeah found that out for myself too. I think that's why everyone uses 2 inclines
does anybody have any ideas for the secret beach?
@open igloo wooow what’s the name of that statue???
What's that? @tight grove
looks like it's a lamp. Also it can be customized to different colors @idle cave
valiant statue @sage gorge
@surreal geyser I didn’t want to use two inclines to do it but now I have no option rip
@open igloo ty!
Rip
@open igloo is it 1x1 or 2x2 space?
does anybody have any ideas for the secret beach?
@honest orchid expose Redd for the criminal he is
Seems large
2x2 space
Dang ok thanks
it’s a rly big statue lol
Gonna need to reform some stuff then
our islands are outside of police jurisdiction, perfect for redd @versed wadi
This sucks who decided that making the museum 7x4 was a good idea
Wish you could move resident services
It feels like the game is forcing you to use the two staircases
😦
@sage gorge just custom design a plaza
Yea @remote viper
@remote viper this is mine if you want some ideas, its not finished tho 
Looks real nice
@remote viper same!!!
@versed wadi do you have the code for that??
@reef pulsar thank you sm
This is how the store layout is working out so far 🙂
Oh
Dont need to go symmetry, could just have a zigzag staircase up
Oo wym?
oh true you could make the incline go sideways up to the path or something
my museum is on the 1st level u could make a cool walkway to it with water
@frozen axle I haven’t placed the museum down yet, I have the moving kit in my pockets lol
Ah is it 1 level or 2 levels up
1 level up
Hey does anyone wanna showoff their neighborhood layouts? Either the map or actual picture of how it looks :0?
Oh for 1 level you could just place the staircase flush lengthwise against the cliff face
Any ideas for the secret beach?
i’ll show mine im still working on it but i don’t think it’s a lot of ppls style since many like symmetry
Symmettry isnt too important at that point
any ideas of what I can add to the front of my resident services?
@frozen axle it messes with my brain if it’s not lined up
You could put the stair case behind the museum
Does anyone have any tips on creating a fairy island?♡︎ ᵃˡˢᵒ ˡᵒᵒᵏⁱⁿᵍ ᶠᵒʳ ᶠʳᵉᵉ ᵈⁱʸˢ
Ooooo right!
It does reqiure a reacharound but i think itll be satisfying regardless
@pale lance lots of flowers and make it a little cramped! (white yellow pink flowers)
Thanks (⊃。•́‿•̀。)⊃
omg the little dying animation the fish make when you terraform over them
They are summoning
Can someone help me figure out why my last rock won’t spawn? It’s been weeks.
Tfw entering yharnam
ok this is my neighborhood :p
@tawny pilot are you sure the rock didn't spawn elsewhere and you just missed it?
Oops stealing ur neighborhood
omg 😳
😫
@tawny pilot are you sure the rock didn't spawn elsewhere and you just missed it?
@night fjord that is what i am afraid of but i combed the whole island and can’t find it. Was hoping that maybe it’s just not an ideal place to spawn.
So pretty i love it.
tysm🥺
😭
It might be on a ledge hidden by a cliff or something, somewhere you missed tiling
It might be on a ledge hidden by a cliff or something, somewhere you missed tiling
@night fjord i tiled all my hidden ledges. I guess i’ll keep looking.
Let me have more than 8 inclines you cowards
you should be able to have 16 combined bridges/inclines not just 8 of each 😭
Also give me like a hundred more design slots
i have my maximum of 8 inclines but 1 total bridge
Hi! I'm searching for ideas for a flower showcase area. TBH I'm stuck with a lot of flowers and I don't have any idea how to fit them in one area haha
Does anyone know if there's a limit to how much furniture you can place outside?
My garbage us running a grand total of 4 bridges, and its mostly water
@thorny copperhowever mucch space you have available
Or until your switch crashes
Oof ok thanks lmao
Wouldn't recommend stacking tonnes of bugs in one area, it lags the game 😆
Really really bad
fish are worse haha
Im looking for island ideas!
Yikes too late lmao they should've given us more house storage
I gotchu
I’m dying inside when villagers do this I want to punch them in their lil faces so bad
bold to name yourself god 😂
To these villagers, i am god
😂😂
When villagers sit down infront of you in the middle of terraforming
true
I shape the land and sea and can expel them from my kingdom whenever i wish
we lay their paths, decide who stays in paradise and who is not fit for it
Thats why I do mine at like 3 am jsksjs
Punchy rn @snow seal
yeah i terraform in the middle of the night haha
Saw this v cute map layout :)
hooo that's nice
it makes me sooooo mad my RS is two tiles off from the center
omg mine is too
Idk if the fact that you were so close makes it better or worse
Mine is too. I just blocked it off LOL
i’m just making a path that goes to it
Finished my bee keeping area!! What do you think?!
reminds me of botw ruins
I like the bee design on the stall
Ty I found it in the pattern section. Do you want it?
very cute!! @tribal laurel i’m hoping to make mine later today but on the beach! hope it works
nah I'm good, my patterns are already very full
Ooooo that’s be cute @frosty spruce please DM me a pic 🙂
i will!
I wish we had more custom spots!
me to
It sucks when you overwrite them too 😦
my cafe so far!
ah same.. i’m past the point of out lol
not a day goes by where we don't ask for more custom spots in this chat

ik 😭

Sausig help
wassup?
I'm trying to figure out how to make my Winter Themed Villager house exterior look winter-y
Incline limits?? D:
I might not be so helpful since I don't TT and am not at winter
No I mean like
but if you send it we can take a look
Lemme give you the idea of my island atm
sure
Someone give me ideas on furnitures that would look good for decorating ables 😭
Jurassic Park is opened
Basically, the four segments (top left, right, bottom right and left) are gonna be turned into season themed areas. Top right is Winter, top left is Summer, bottom left us Autumn and bottom right is Spring.
i call this one: no storage? no problem! 💘💕✨
I'm on Top right atm
@idle cave sounds pretty good if it's pulled off right
i’m in the process of redoing my island rn and i have no house storage 😌😭
so I guess you want ideas about more wintery items and setups?
Yup.
I've seen ice pillars and holly bushes when they're in season are obviously very wintery
when half of your storage is clothes 
Is this too much for an entry? I need advice 🥺
it’s so cute bruh
Also the villagers are gonna be put there.
Winter: Skye and Roald
Autumn: Lucky [/] and Coco
Summer: Flora and Zucker
Spring: Tia and Merengue [/].
for each one. the / means I have ot.
I'd say the iron and stone fences also work well for winter when there's snow on them
@idle cave look at #furniture-trade there comes along a lot!
Roald is a Jock so I leaning into workout stuff.
what about the other 2 villagers?
Uh space themed
oh cool
So I'm going for Mira, whom I have, and Ruby.
I like how exaggerated the curvature of the world is in this game
skye is the sweetest gorl i have her and she is too cute
Mira's pretty coo, too. I'm making it British themed items (coldness and what not) so I bought the lampost.
I was thinking about making it moon based because it's directly next to the border of the island.
There are a few custom moon thingies out there
lmao, britain is just rain, we barely get all that much snow
So I’m kinda new to animal crossing and I just recently got a 4 star island and I was wondering If someone could’ve give me tips on my island
@frozen axle i like what you did with the bamboo islands there! such a creative idea
where would y’all place houses, shops etc on this map? or is it a bad map? hehe i need help
planning on having cosmos at the base, just need to find some cosmos
on right of the map have some houses on 2nd tier and 3rd it’ll look cute
bamboo as a forest is kinda gross imo, much prefer it as little independent clumps
i would offer but leif is selling pansys and lillies, and the nooklings are selling mums, hyacinths and tulips
@night fjord I'm also from Britain haha 😄
So sad you can’t zoom out a lot....
would anyone wanna design my island for me? layout wise? im horrible at layouts but im good at decorating
Hi! I'm searching for ideas for a flower showcase area. TBH I'm stuck with a lot of flowers and I don't have any idea how to fit them in one area haha
same ^^
Ideas? I'm getting rid of al btw.
@idle cave oh lmao. Yeah idk though, I'd struggle to suggest wintery stuff from the game without ever being to that time period in the game
@sour quartz I would place the house in L - shape along the beach and the shops above the camp and the museum top left with the lake and a nice large garden in front of it
you should probably put the shops together!
What is the best fence for PomPom?
is the 5x3 dimension for the player house still the same when it’s fully upgraded
yep
ok thx
stays the same all the way through upgrades
Where should I put my house?
@chrome tusk thank you!!
you should put it at the top of the river on the west side
this is my island layout without any homes/terraforming... ideas? since the town square is off center im struggling to do anything with it :< if anyone here just likes designing islands for fun, could you help me out? Im good at the decorating part but not the mapping :<
Should I move these houses from my entrance area?
Anyone have ideas for neighborhoods? I’m kinda stuck on what to do
Question should the mushrooms stay or go?
@gentle bear how many neighborhoods do you have already
Does the amount of hybrid flowers you have on your island increase the rating of your island?
I'd say they should go - but just go somewhere else. They look amazing with that setup but look out of place at the museum
@fresh pike personally don’t like the mushrooms, but like no where 🙂
@chrome tusk I have 2 rn but I’m tryna make one big one
@indigo ravine lots of things do, more flowers does help increase your rating
@fresh pike they look nice!!
Anyone have any flower arrangement inspiration
@gentle bear 1 extra or 1 together
@indigo ravine lots of things do, more flowers does help increase your rating
@night fjord got it.
Ok sure yeah I was thinking the same
@indigo ravine flowers are quantity not quality, hybrids give as many points as regulars
Thanks anyway
Here? @woven drift
does anyone have an outdoor music/concert area? pls dm me pics i need inspo 😭
i’ve got a neighborhood, everyone is really close together. it’s cozy, and i think it looks cute! the only downside is that they don’t have their own lawns, but instead they have common areas
i was thinking like you could make the top of the river a little smaller, then put it there!
even the space is shared comrade
🤪🤪
i was thinking like you could make the top of the river a little smaller, then put it there!
@woven drift ok.
does anyone have an outdoor music/concert area? pls dm me pics i need inspo 😭
@subtle bloom here.
Decided to go with the dark hidden meaning, kind of like it kind of iffy about it.
I don't have terraforming yet but here is my island 😅
here is my island 🙂
The hashtag is too much. Do a wooden sign post
@woven drift end it movement???
My island is like a 2 star compared to all of you guys.😂
@molten merlin GREAT avatar!
I am just going random rn, I don't know what i'm going for but i'm getting burned out doing detailed things
Twiggy’s house 🤩
Started working on my new museum entrance and ended up ripping my whole island apart 😔
Ooh Twiggy matches perfectly
omg i literally did that two days ago rip
I made a fountain randomly then started to demolished my museum in the next few minutes, it is what it is, cycle is brutal@faint path
where do i find someone who can put my flowers in the beach
@quartz flame YO I literally ripped all my rivers apart moved villagers houses and made a whole new level after 30 minutes
I hate it here
🥺
oh god
oh my gosh why do people charge like 3 limbs for a stack of regular wood i cant haha
i want to lowkey scrap the unova idea
people are ruthless in the trade channels and stuff
^
price inflation and dupes ruined it
i wanted a stack of regular wood and someone asked for like 7NMT

yeah it's hella dumb
it’s like WHAT
ikr, i’m like i cant afford that i just wanna make a sign 😂
I've couldn't ask for a better spawn spot haha
if there was a trading system built in the game, I feel like prices would be lower because it would be easier to trade
does anyone have any weeds/pebbles/mushroom ideas that i can put on the dirt by these trees?
if there was a trading system built in the game, I feel like prices would be lower because it would be easier to trade
@night fjord you also forget stalk market exists
that shit makes you millions
lmao, yeah my issue isn't the money side, I mean easier to trade as in it's an awkward process to go to people's islands and physically give them the items
You’re all so creative omg 😭
because you have to take time out and go over to trade it jacks up prices because people feel like they're owed for taking that time out
DM me some japanese style island designs please!!! Looking for inspo
You’re all so creative omg 😭
@woven drift I ain't creative either but I'm managing with just inspos and my own tiny twists, that's what i'm going for these days and i'm happy with it
^
this
I have changed my island map entirely like 3 times lol I really should be taking inspiration
@open igloo what is that light thing in ur pic?
hyacinth lamp
:0
