island-designs

[tiny wing]

Any feedback on this decoration? What should I add in front or around?

[granite comet]

@wet cliff oh, love the floor where the fountain is

[wet cliff]

Ty! It's a whole mosaic set from New Leaf

[sage jasper]

@cunning knot Do you have a theme in mind?

[granite comet]

@sage jasper I don't have terraforming yet so I'm doing what I can do with what I have now and looking for future inspiration when I'll be able to do more haha

[valid bison]

@granite comet This is mine straight ahead and to the right of airport

[wet cliff]

That's how I did

[sage jasper]

@granite comet When you unlock terraforming, definitely make a plan because it makes things SO much easier when you actually use the tool.

[eternal bloom]

Anybody have a cool garden in their backyard

[quick wind]

Can someone post a really good picture of mountain terraforming? I need inspiration

[barren karma]

does anyone have any ideas on how i can expand this entrance/make it more inviting? :')

[granite comet]

Thanks for your beautiful entrances ! Can't wait to unlock terraforming haha

[cunning knot]

@sage jasper Kind of a Rural/Suburb Style. Either, those two types.

[wet cliff]

I just winged it, trying to plan frustrated me

[sage jasper]

@cunning knot Have you tried looking at other islands for inspiration yet?

[faint path]

Let’s take a walk to my campsite lol

[wet cliff]

Find some idea you like and run with it

[tiny wing]

My entrance ~

[cunning knot]

Yeah, been looking a little bit, But I don't know how to scale those things into my island. Since all my villagers are on either side.

[sage jasper]

Try drawing it out and then you can move things to suit your plan.

[hoary mural]

Do you guys build around th houses or you move them?

[gentle spindle]

Any ideas for this area? This is right next to my entrance

[reef zealot]

@barren karma You could try to make a little garden out of it. You could put a bench, some trees, flowers and other furniture there

[hoary mural]

My houses are a bit random placed and idk what to don

[sage jasper]

Do you guys build around th houses or you move them?
@hoary mural I moved my houses into a compact neighborhood with a park in the middle.

[woven drift]

i put all my houses in a residential area with waterfalls

[livid wyvern]

@hoary mural i made an outline for the houses and then i moved them, like i planned where i wanted them to be and the area !! villager houses are 4x4

[wet cliff]

I moved my shops into place first and am still relocating houses as I make space for them

[sage jasper]

3 more houses to move and then my area will be complete.

I squeezed most of my island buildings into 1/3 of my map so I can make the other 2/3 into a spooky forest with hidden areas.

[barren karma]

i getcha, @reef zealot ! i had one, but im so scared of cramming everything into one space, i have no idea what im gonna do with the area my museum is currently in when i tear it down

[wet cliff]

Yeee I'm working on my forest

[hoary mural]

Yes I got houses right at the entrance. I will move them first then, I know u guys have shared already but what best tools for planning ?

[sage jasper]

Happy Island Designer!

[livid wyvern]

I squeezed most of my island buildings into 1/3 of my map so I can make the other 2/3 into a spooky forest with hidden areas.
@sage jasper that sounds so cool omg !!

[sage jasper]

@livid wyvern I have a maze in progress that's a transition between the normal island bit and the spooky area, so it's a lot of fun.

[faint path]

Entrance:)

[urban venture]

Island entrance pt 2 (:3 」∠) (the fences were bought)

[barren karma]

seaweed that was exactly what i wish my town looked like ages ago 😭

[wet cliff]

I'm not good at interesting terraforming

[vapid hemlock]

Ugh everyone’s got statues and I can’t even find Redd it’s crazy

[rustic sand]

hi! i need someone who can vc to help me move flowers and trees to my beach etc. let me know x

[valid bison]

Looking for terrain ideas. Mainly wanting to place maybe 2 rivers. Maybe a pond. My island is going to be gothic with zen inspiration. Everything within the blue i want to stay where it is. Willing to have ppl over to my island to kinda get a feel for it too.

[livid wyvern]

everyone has nice entrances meanwhile i havent even started on it

[urban venture]

U got this 😭😭😭 inspiration comes in bursts

[fierce willow]

Either I have lots of materials and no inspiration or no materials but alot of inspiration

[past jetty]

Campsite Upgrade 👀

[livid wyvern]

honestly i need sm wood for the imperial fence but the trees r like uwu have some more softwood even tho u alr have 4 stacks of it <3

[barren karma]

also.... i rly wanna build a cliff behind nooks and ables, but i want it to look semi natural 😭

bc everything else in my island is SO unnatural

[granite comet]

everyone's entrance is so pretty 🥰

[faint path]

My nooks 🙂

[woven drift]

my entrance/RS area is awful lol when i started the game i put lots of flower around it and it’s been so long already, now i don’t have the heart to change it

[stray fox]

@barren karma put stairs between them, create your cliff and restructure your lake. Kinda like a deck thing

[barren karma]

im gonna move the museum and everything, but i dont know how to make the cliff behind look more natural.

[regal forum]

My camera quality is so bad but i finally re did my entrance ( got inspired by twitter haha)

[torn geode]

Been working on a small relaxation spot on my beach. Planning on adding some plants. Thoughts?

[barren karma]

i still want a path to the secret beach

[livid wyvern]

this is m layout so far !! rn im working on the museum area which is gonna b on the left but i have sm trash just layin around i have to run around sm

[faint path]

Is this helpful @barren karma ?

[barren karma]

sort of! i need to make the whole cliff more natural, bc im gonna make a park up there and move my campsite

[bronze grove]

how did you guys set up nooks cranny and able sisters together?

I want to make mine close

[torn geode]

I made my a sort of hilltop area near most my housing

[bronze grove]

can I see

[hoary mural]

Can you guys share the residencial areas? Cause then I will build this first and move the houses first I guess

[torn geode]

Yeah one sec

[bronze grove]

I want to put mine somewhere here

[hoary mural]

Really hard to create from zero haha you all so experienced already haha

[raven loom]

Anyone have photos of homemade bridges they’ve terraformed?

[frank patrol]

orange

[ember sand]

orange

Put a raccoon statue behind it 👉 👉

[austere cradle]

i did that for my roost i made

[regal fjord]

Doesn’t show custom paths for some reason

[torn geode]

Low quality but who cares - residential and shopping area under construction

[hexed shoal]

does anyone have the twitter link to this jp player's island that had like... a pretty symmetrical island (like straight streets) and they had a little fenced off area with cedar trees, nova lamps, and a big teddy? their nook's area was also like a food court-ish area

[sage jasper]

Can you guys share the residencial areas? Cause then I will build this first and move the houses first I guess
@hoary mural I did 3 rows. Two rows have 4 houses and one row has 2 houses.

[manic lantern]

My heart is filled with so much joy ❤

Just seeing them so happy and looking back at how hard I worked to give them a paradise they could call home 😭

[kindred adder]

Which picture is better?

[fringe carbon]

LF orchard designs

[torn geode]

1st pic

[solar shuttle]

1st one

[reef zealot]

I've messed way too much with island designer. Now I really don't know how to put the plateaus or rivers to make it look good

[ember sand]

I like the second

[fringe carbon]

LF orchard pics for inspo (preferably that have some space in between trees so u can see them)

[ashen radish]

im currently trying to create something like this! should i put my orchard in front or behind it?

[hoary mural]

@regal fjord haha loves the name!!

[bronze grove]

Orange is nooks cranny and able sisters, middle will be incline, opinions ?!!

[faint path]

@fringe carbon

[fringe carbon]

nice thx much

[solar shuttle]

can I get the qr to those paths? @faint path

[torn geode]

Wow, your orchard looks way prettier and natural than mine
I’ve just got 5 rows of trees and a small gardening area beneath it

[viscid mango]

@bronze grove make them more further away

[fringe carbon]

can I get the qr to those paths? @faint path
@solar shuttle i believe the planks are on the acnh custom design tumblr

[reef zealot]

@bronze grove try putting in some flowers and put fences in front of it

[twin root]

I’ve been changing my island so much I have no idea what to do now

[fringe carbon]

^^ here is similar one

[fluid swallow]

Any ideas on cute items to put at the bottom of my fountain area?? I have no idea

[solar shuttle]

Oh cool! Any ideas where to get the rock ones? and the circle one lol

[tepid raven]

My current layout... it’s coming along I think :))

[faint path]

@solar shuttle

[solar shuttle]

Thanks!!

[manic nebula]

[hoary mural]

@tepid raven this looks great!! I’d love a video of how the residences look it seems so nice

[wheat mirage]

How are u people so creative 😭

[ember sand]

God I wish we could buy more custom paths

[faint path]

@manic nebula

[quick wind]

Anyone got any good mountainous museum areas?

[manic nebula]

@faint path super cute

[tepid raven]

@neon compass yeah I can show the residential area, but it’s a work in progress atm so there’s not much flowers !!

[tawny saffron]

Do you like my island layout

[fluid swallow]

@faint path omg id love to see the paths you used it looks so cute

[manic lantern]

@tawny saffron I love that!

[faint path]

And the normal stone paths 🙂

[tawny saffron]

@manic lantern thank you

[tepid raven]

Residential area currently.

The flowers are what I’m working on right now.

[leaden lion]

Can someone come to my island and help me figure out what to do with a part of my island

[hoary mural]

The flowers are what I’m working on right now.
@tepid raven omg this is so amaziiiiing

[leaden lion]

I’m not really a creative person it just looks like a blank part of land

[tepid raven]

@hoary mural thanks so much :))

[hoary mural]

Loved how u trying to match the flowers and such

[tepid raven]

Yeah the front 2 houses, Raymond and Audies match their colour scheme

[hoary mural]

So nice. I will try to do something similar but on the horizontal at the back of the island maybe. Cause my little beach is right at the center

[manic lantern]

@tepid raven Thats so beautiful !!!! very well balanced and great choice of using hedges

[hoary mural]

Yeah I loved how balanced and well done it is

[tepid raven]

@manic lantern thanks so much

[gentle spindle]

Any ideas for entrances this close and off center 😭 I’m so stuck, I already tried covering it with trees but it felt too cluttered and hid the town hall too much

[ember kestrel]

wow... making some big changes here the past little while

[tepid raven]

It costed a million bells to move each house twice hahah

[manic lantern]

@ember kestrel it's looking amazing so far! keep it up

[manic nebula]

@tepid raven omg i love that

[ember kestrel]

tyy 💕

I have a really cute idea for a farm area, I hope I can pull it off

[hoary mural]

@gentle spindle mine is like that too 😭

[manic nebula]

@tepid raven can i pls see what ur layout looks like??

[manic lantern]

does anyone know how many times you have to gift your villager a wreath

[fluid swallow]

@gentle spindle I saw someone who built a small mountain in front of it!

[manic lantern]

so they could put it on there door

[fierce sparrow]

are the patio stairs too close to the house entrance or no they’re good?

[ember sand]

Worked first time for me

[tepid raven]

@manic nebula thanks ! and yep I’ve posted it in here but it might be a bit far up so I’ll post it again

[ember kestrel]

@fierce sparrow I like it!!

[fluid swallow]

are the patio stairs too close to the house entrance or no they’re good?
@fierce sparrow I think this looks super cute

[ocean sorrel]

[frosty spruce]

[ember kestrel]

I looove the water

[stoic sable]

Would anyone be willing to help design my island? I’m really bad with designing and if anyone is really good at landscaping and could help me out please please DM me 🙂

[manic lantern]

@frosty spruce your map is insane can I get a tour please

[sage gorge]

Any ideas on what I should do with this lil strip of land? It’s all surrounded with water and I want to make something cute on it!

[near shale]

Mine is one block off centre

[gentle spindle]

@spark notch I also need references for off centered airports 🙏

[frosty spruce]

i’ll do tours again when i finish up my island!

[lilac trench]

Hey all, any idea where I might be able to hide a toilet?

[indigo ingot]

This is my layout guys!

[ember kestrel]

@near shale makes it quirky n interesting 🙂 very sweet

[fluid swallow]

do you guys think it’s ugly to not have that many rivers on your island? I only have one small river and ponds and waterfalls!

[frosty spruce]

i personally only have one regular river!

[queen nexus]

@grizzled oasis how do you decorate around your resident service area?

[ember kestrel]

@lilac trench behind a simple panel? :0

[stoic sable]

Would anyone be willing to help design my island? I’m really bad with designing and if anyone is really good at landscaping and could help me out please please DM me 🙂

[ember kestrel]

your maps are awesome guys!

[fluid swallow]

i personally only have one regular river!
@frosty spruce I was getting so self conscious of not having that much water on my land lol

[fast egret]

Hey does anyone have any entrance way ideas?:0 I'm redesigning my whole islamd and I need some help ;-;

[manic lantern]

Quick dash through Destiny Island ❤

[frosty spruce]

hahah yeah i don’t like wide large rivers so i decided to purely do skinny rivers and i’ve seemed to like it and it’s been popular

[fluid swallow]

Would anyone be willing to help design my island? I’m really bad with designing and if anyone is really good at landscaping and could help me out please please DM me 🙂
@stoic sable I found it easier to just start designing and go with whatever open spaces you find and use Pinterest and insta!

[little jackal]

My cozy library

[manic lantern]

@fast egret watch my video 🙂

[frosty spruce]

so pretty! @little jackal

[bold hazel]

I love ittt

[flat plaza]

Making front-yards for each neighbor, I'm stuck with Zucker's, I want to do it fair style but I don't know what else to put, can someone help me?😅🤩

[ember kestrel]

oh my god guys the sun is setting, it's so beautiful on my island 😭 I wish I could pause it so it stays like this

[prisma knot]

@flat plaza what items did you use for lucky?

[manic lantern]

@little jackal Those are really nice photos

[snow seal]

My museum entrance is coming along 🥺

[fluid swallow]

@flat plaza I know they have gum ball machines too and street organs

[frosty spruce]

same 😭 @ember kestrel but the rest of my island looks best directly after

[fast egret]

Oml @manic lantern your island is gorgeoussss. Ooo can we trade for those mushroom things :0 I've seen them before and I have no clue where tk get them ;-;-;-;

[ember sand]

Fortune cookie cart works too

[hoary mural]

@near shale omg you re so lucky that center is in the center of the airport haha. My center is like a bit to the left and bothers me so much

[flat plaza]

@prisma knot one of my favourites❤️

[fluid swallow]

@tepid kite I would say remove those two fences at the front and remove the path on those spaces and add hedges or bushes for greenery

[tepid raven]

Area around my residential services & airport. Ignore the messy flower breeding in the middle

[manic lantern]

@tepid kite hmm I would suggest replacing the fence near the waterfall with either shrubs or hedges

[prisma knot]

@flat plaza niice im doing the same thing with each neighbor. Ankha has been the easiest by far lol

[flat plaza]

I'm almost finished😅

But I don't know what to do for Coco's 😓

[fluid swallow]

@flat plaza def some cottage core items for coco

[ember sand]

Does anyone have the link to the pathing on the bottom?

[near shale]

I gave coco a little library

[ember kestrel]

bye sun,,,

[tepid raven]

Museum entrance

[flat plaza]

@fluid swallow I want to wait for the gyroids...👀😂

[rustic flare]

[spark notch]

@woven drift that looks awesome

[manic lantern]

@woven drift some garden inspo?

@flat plaza lol if they come back

[manic lantern]

[barren karma]

[flat plaza]

@fluid swallow Don't remind me...

[barren karma]

i destroyed my stage, and realised its PERFECT for my museum ;v;

[flat plaza]

✌️😔

[little kraken]

Yello

I'm bored

[frosty spruce]

i’m so close to finishing my island for the most part 😭

then i just have to plant a ton of flowers and decorate!

[little kraken]

Nice!

I need to get more bells so i can move houses

[faint path]

Pictures in this game are honestly the best

[ember kestrel]

we live on a deserted island so nobody lived there previously to be able to plant the gyroids in the ground

[frosty spruce]

deserted means it was once inhabited

[manic lantern]

@frosty spruce can I visit later!

[ember kestrel]

that's true

[queen nexus]

god damn it i hate my RS

[ember kestrel]

I hope they add them in some fashion

[frosty spruce]

i’ll try!! i’ll dm you!

they’re adding brewster at some point so i’m sure

[ember kestrel]

yeah :)

[barren karma]

maybe they could let brewster sell gyroids or give them as friendship gifts

[frosty spruce]

i’m gonna be going crazy if i need to find more room for shops haha

[ember kestrel]

you probably will at some point lol

[barren karma]

(or, a museum exhibit... i can hope and dream :')

[frosty spruce]

@woven drift i have 2!

[ember kestrel]

omg those are gorgeous

[frosty spruce]

i spent a fortune on them though so i’d need a decent amount in return

they’re customizable so yes

[barren karma]

are they touch tradable?

[frosty spruce]

nope diy

[barren karma]

ah, gotcha!

[flat plaza]

Raymonds's house❤️ [Still in progres] Please send me ideas😓

[fierce plume]

[celest current]

Hey does anyone know the sizes of nooks cranny and the able sisters

[little kraken]

[flat plaza]

Nooks Cranny 7x4
Able Sisters 5x4

[scenic blaze]

@celest current check the pins

[celest current]

Thank you!

[little kraken]

Should i made the houses islands or garden areas between the houses?

[flat plaza]

I know it from memory.... sadly🤧

@little kraken how much space is in between?

[little kraken]

About 4 spaces

[rough plinth]

As I recall houses are 4x8

[torn hamlet]

Can some make and island map for me?

Can someone*

[rough plinth]

Wait no

They are 2x4

[flat plaza]

Animal houses are 4x4 and human houses are 5x4

[frosty spruce]

finally made a twitter! here’s my cafe 💕

[manic lantern]

no problem haha

[idle cave]

Okay so my plan for this weekend is to get to 4*, one of the main things that the villagers are saying that needs work is appealing scenery. Does that mean using flowers and bushes to liven up the place? Any advice is valued, ty (:

[rough plinth]

What do I do with a large empty field

[flat plaza]

I finished my playground!🤩

[torn hamlet]

Goofball I would buy lots of flowers and plant them somewhere, that’s what I did and I got three stars

[fluid swallow]

What do I do with a large empty field
@rough plinth pond and park space with benches and stuff?

[steady yoke]

You also need furniture and fencing etc

[flat plaza]

@rough plinth fill it 🙃

[torn hamlet]

Can anyone help me design my island?

[flat plaza]

Has it happened to someone that you have been about to erase your island?

[copper shoal]

can someone help me plan my map?

[idle cave]

Furniture and fencing, okay, okay. Cool

[near shale]

A little bit from my WIP island

[flat plaza]

Any ideas for decorating this area? It’s uneven so I’m trying to make it look more natural

[rustic flare]

@lilac glade maybe ad small green space with park benches, trees etc to break up the paths?

[scenic blaze]

@frosty spruce gimme that @ tho

[versed wadi]

@faint path nailed the bar!

[scenic blaze]

oh nvm i see it above lol

[visual phoenix]

this is my nooks cranny setup but I would like some suggestions on what to put in their stalls

[bronze grove]

Any ideas for the bottom left? I’m stumped.

[sage jasper]

@visual phoenix A shovel, some bells, a turnip, and a cash register if that's still in the game.

[visual phoenix]

@sage jasper great ideas :)

[woven drift]

my new picnic area! it’s a bit basic but i think it’s pretty(:

[sage gorge]

@woven drift I love the custom patterns that you used! Do you have the code for those?

[cloud marsh]

@gentle spindle I like to use flowers or items to cover straight or square angles in my natural areas, use 2 fence types instead of just one (a hedge and a fence always look good together) and sometimes add small "hills" with flowers on top

[woven drift]

@sage gorge yes i do! which ones? the blanket or the rocks/flowers ?

[spring sentinel]

looking for stunning entrance ideas

[sage gorge]

The rocks that lead to the blanket!

[manic lantern]

@woven drift that looks beautiful ❤

[gentle spindle]

@cloud marsh good ideas thanks!!

[manic lantern]

I love how creative everyone is

[lethal roost]

I have so many plans for my island and I'm just gonna sweat it out and try and do the rest of the project K thingo so then I can make it a reality

[open flume]

made a robot hero vs godzilla fight what do you guys think?

[lethal roost]

thats so cool!

[woven drift]

@sage gorge MA-8321-3694-3130 is the creator code!

[errant mirage]

does anyone have layouts for a flower breeding area

[open flume]

thanks @lethal roost

[surreal river]

Decided to make all my flowers pink and red 🥺

[manic lantern]

@surreal river that's a great combination

[idle cave]

What colours work well with the imperial fence

[viscid mango]

I need inspiration for a flower breeding/garden lol

[cloud marsh]

@errant mirage yes hang on lemme get a screenshot

[atomic quest]

you guys with epic waterfalls, have you experienced any fps drop at all?

[manic lantern]

@viscid mango

[slow prawn]

i dont k ow what to do in the centre of the island.. I thought about putting the shops like on top of another like nooks cranny on top and able sisters closer to the service center thingy

[lethal roost]

when do you unlock the path maker?

[sage gorge]

@woven drift tysm!

[open flume]

after getting 3 star @lethal roost

[errant mirage]

@lethal roost after k.k comes

[manic lantern]

@lethal roost after you get 3 stars aka the Kk concert

[lethal roost]

@slow prawn you could probably get the recipe for the stalls and make a market?

also thanks everyone

[open flume]

any ideas to improve this area?

[wind grail]

Is leaving 4 spaces in between the houses enough room? What do u guys reccomend

[slow prawn]

i have a recipe for that but I want to move the shops

[cloud marsh]

@errant mirage

[errant mirage]

@cloud marsh ty!!!

[bronze grove]

@wind grail 6 spaces is ideal

[wind grail]

In between ?

[slow prawn]

this is what i had in my mind with the shops but I'm not quite happy with that

[meager warren]

what lamps should I use in my forest area? I'm thinking either mush lamps or tiki torches

[magic cypress]

How to i check my island rating? i just got town hall today

[sage jasper]

@slow prawn I like having shops by the airport entrance because it's easy for visitors.

[slow prawn]

@sage jasper good idea

[left zealot]

@meager warren mushroom lamps! or even lanterns imo

[cloud marsh]

@burnt shell sure! what do you have going on right now?

[queen nexus]

i thiiiiink sadly i need to ditch the city theme. i can't put it in completely so it doesn't work anyway

[left zealot]

@magic cypress go talk to isabelle in resident services! its like island eval

[fervent cipher]

How do you think it’s coming along, I am working on making the second layer mountain at the correct distance rn

[sage gorge]

@magic cypress talk to Isabelle and ask for island evals!

[faint path]

@versed wadi I tried my best haha , but since I’m german I wanted to incorporate smth from here.

[magic cypress]

@sage gorge Do i need to unlock something?

[cloud marsh]

That sounds cute can I visit your island maybe? (Can bring flowers)

[meager warren]

@left zealot do you reckon i could do mush lamps in the zelda section and then lanterns where I have the pagoda? I'm just worried it won't look cohesive since both areas are in the same spot

[burnt shell]

yes plsss but i’m a bit busy rn haha

[cloud marsh]

Haha no worries. U can just dm me sometime

[burnt shell]

okay awesome tysm!

[left zealot]

@meager warren yeah exactly i love that. maybe some stepping stones too

[agile mantle]

Off topic but happy birthday to fellow island layout gang member @faint path

[faint path]

Ty! @agile mantle

[sand sand]

This is what my island looks like. Any tips appreciated!

[meager warren]

@left zealot the garden lanterns or the paper ones?

[idle cave]

IF I go back to April take some of the nice trees and come back will they turn normal

nice trees as in the pink ones

[worthy tendon]

they will become normal

[left zealot]

@meager warren i think paper will fit the vibe the most

[idle cave]

That's a shame

[sand sand]

They will turn normal because Sakura event is over

[light harbor]

are there any good residential area/neighborhoods i could use as inspo? : D

[pulsar zodiac]

The pink ones are the normal trees, they only change during seasonal periods

[idle cave]

right

[barren karma]

i dont know what to make here.... i wanna put my ables and nooks against a cliff, but dont know where to make one. if i post a picture, can someone outline where i should put the cliff? :')

[idle cave]

I'm designing a pretty basic entrance, are there any flowers that have the animation of leaves blowing away?

I know that's REALLY specific, just curious

[barren karma]

not really! you could have green leaf piles, when you walk through they have a small animation

[idle cave]

Ok ty

[fossil trellis]

https://i.imgur.com/pVkzLFY.png
why do people not like egg items ;_;

[grim cosmos]

eugh

cuz reminds how annoying the event was

[fossil trellis]

look at the bed and balloons and fences

that + blue windflowers = good

[vast crystal]

they look tacky imo

[fossil trellis]

I started playing the game on the 10th of april so 2 days of events only

[keen crest]

Hey im looking for somebody who let me and a friend of mine on their 4 or 5 star island to get inspo and to just hang out :)

[agile mantle]

Denise, what the fuck

[ashen radish]

[agile mantle]

Hi ily

[cloud marsh]

@keen crest my 4 star is an absolute mess, but I'm really happy with how it's coming along and wanting to host ppl haha

[magic cypress]

does anyone have a good island layout that i could use for inspo? that also has town hall here

[grim cosmos]

🤐

[sage jasper]

@magic cypress I have similar river outlets but my town hall is about 1-2 squares to the right of yours.

[woven drift]

@magic cypress this is mine (:

[wind grail]

How many squares in between houses?

[versed wadi]

Off topic but happy birthday to fellow island layout gang member @faint path
@agile mantle Happy Birthday!!!

[grim cosmos]

OOO happy birthday 🙂

[naive patrol]

teddy loves to use my seating areas 🥺🥺

[keen crest]

@cloud marsh id love to come over someday I would just text you tomorrow or Saturday if that's alright?

[sage jasper]

My map right now. The 3 houses in the back will be moved to join the other houses soon. I'm also at 4 stars.

[idle cave]

So I've got this really annoying path in my way, is there a way to easily remove all the custom tiles? I don't wanna have to spam Y on tiles T_T

[cloud marsh]

Yeah you can just dm me @keen crest 👍

[naive patrol]

@keen crest i have a 5 star island if you ever wanna come

[tardy finch]

[blissful dock]

One of my flower displays

[magic cypress]

[woven drift]

@blissful dock thats false canada doesn’t exist (looks good lol)

[idle cave]

If I erase a custom tile will all the tiles on my island disappear?

[woven drift]

@magic cypress thank you so much!! of course you can (:

[wind grail]

How many spaces in between houses should i do and how many in front for a garden

Pls help :)

[steady hinge]

Anyone got any Hot spring setups I need some inspo

[fringe vessel]

@magic cypress i think we have the same layout other than the secret beach

[cloud marsh]

[faint path]

Ty guys! 💖

[idle cave]

If I erase a custom tile will all the tiles on my island disappear? Sorry for repeating it again

[grim cosmos]

🥺 🍰 🕯️ 🥳 🎈

[idle cave]

nvm found the answer

[wind grail]

How many spaces in between houses to save on space for other things ?

[barren karma]

hey! can someone help me? im struggling to figure out how to shape the cliff behind my ables and nooks to go on riiiiight to the back of the island. the museum is moving the yellow square :')

[woven drift]

Tip for someone: don’t do the basic garden everyone’s doing be different embrace it PERIOD

[sage jasper]

@wind grail I have two spaces between each house and it works for me.

[grim cosmos]

whats the basic garden

[woven drift]

mushrooms spaced out bee hives , rock garden ect

[grim cosmos]

but i like all those items

[nova estuary]

Finallly

[worthy tendon]

i really wanna do a gothy outdoor library but idk where i’d put it bc everything is so crammed in my island rn

[ionic ferry]

how many fruit trees should I plant of each for an orchard?

[woven drift]

I’m not saying u can’t use those items just don’t use it like everyone else is using them

It’s your island but you know be different ✨💖

but if that’s your style then go ahead 💖💖

[faint path]

[worthy tendon]

[woven drift]

[opal tusk]

Are there actually prison bars?

[woven drift]

Yes there is lol

[worthy tendon]

[opal tusk]

There’s so much stuff in this game

[woven drift]

Me and dom do be vibing

[worthy tendon]

its a craftable item ^^

[opal tusk]

That’s sick thank you

[woven drift]

is this enough spacing for all the rocks to spawn?

[sage jasper]

Anyone here making a horror-themed island?

[grim cosmos]

do u ever just have to terraform like 100 somethin blocks and rather cri

[woven drift]

I love my island but I’m this close to deleting everything and just making a fallout world

[idle cave]

I have the island designer but can only make things dirt and grass, when can I use custom tiles?

4* ?

[opal tusk]

@sage jasper I’ve been adding some horror themes around my island

[tiny barn]

Bamboo make every island look amazing

[woven drift]

@idle cave buy then at the nook stop in resident services

[idle cave]

!!!!!!! tysvm

[woven drift]

Ugh I’m broke rn

[meager warren]

@woven drift it is enough space, however only 3 rocks can spawn in each grid on your map so you have to make sure it goes across two grids

[zealous pendant]

Should I leave it like this or put a small bridge ?

[woven drift]

I have over a thousand nmt but bearly any bells left

[bronze grove]

any ideas for a railway?

[grim cosmos]

sell ur nmt then

[woven drift]

@bronze grove spirited away themed

[idle cave]

@woven drift so I'm at the Nook Shop, what am I looking for?

[woven drift]

Or maybe a cliff railway?

[austere cradle]

not by me but WOOW!!

[woven drift]

That’s what I did

[bronze grove]

I meant train tracks but thanks lol

[woven drift]

Yes ik

Wanna see what I did with my train tracks?

[austere cradle]

ive seen railways on beaches

[bronze grove]

I got you mixed up srry

[blissful dock]

@opal tusk if you need prison/jail bars I can craft some for you

[austere cradle]

omg theyre so cute i love the last one

[woven drift]

[granite goblet]

I wanna make a little neighborhood but I'm not sure how much room to put in the fences

[versed wadi]

@woven drift love those yards each one oozes personality:)

[royal ridge]

i'll pay ntm's or anything for someone to help me get my island to look good, i'm 0% so i need someone who will layout my island. I want a old japanise style and i have enough ntm's to buy any furniture you think will look good, dm me!

[quick wind]

What is the smallest amount of length that bridges can go?

[woven drift]

@bronze grove it’s not perfect but ya know

[faint path]

@woven drift I love the personalised Yards for each villager 🥺

[austere nymph]

hey guys! so I have this HUGE area right by the town hall, and I have no idea what to build! Should I make a market place? Neighborhood? 2nd Level? Terraforming? any ideas?

[slim quartz]

@lone sun you just gotta customize the tables!

[woven drift]

@woven drift tysm!

[faint path]

@woven drift thank you 🥺💗

[lone sun]

thanks! @slim quartz

[woven drift]

@meager warren thanks, also ik mannequins is a good way to block the island but how should i place them? like how many spaces apart to they have to be

[left zealot]

@idle cave talk to the atm whatever machine and the first option, then scroll til you see paths then buy custom path

[polar iris]

does anybody know good picnic theme furniture?

[left zealot]

the ma chine in the resident service

[weak solstice]

[idle cave]

ty

[narrow sandal]

All I can think of for an entrance

[autumn lily]

Can anyone send me some inspiration on there park.

[meager warren]

@woven drift rocks need a one space gap around to spawn so I'd suggest doing something like
oxoxoxox
xoxoxoxo
oxoxoxox

[austere cradle]

(not mine) if anyone needs path design dm me

[slim quartz]

has anyone made the majority of the back of their map mountains? I’m trying to figure out how to go about terraforming this rn

[idle cave]

how do I do overlays?

[weak solstice]

well, tops to y'all for making yours look epic as f*ck!

[meager warren]

with o being an empty space

[idle cave]

I couldn't find it in the shop

[woven drift]

ok thank u

[weak solstice]

when did they add mushrooms?

[austere cradle]

@woven drift you could use ice items from winter time travellers

[weak solstice]

I've never seen one

[versed wadi]

@slim quartz I did it’s taken a long time but it’s a lot of fun!

[austere cradle]

@weak solstice its from november in northen and i think southern hemi has mushrooms right now

[royal ridge]

i'll pay ntm's or anything for someone to help me get my island to look good. I want a old japanise style and i have enough ntm's to buy any furniture you think will look good, dm me to explain a little better.

[slim quartz]

@versed wadi any chance I could see ur map! just that would be enough for me to get an idea for spacing

[weak solstice]

Oh cool nov is my birthday month that'll be fun

[versed wadi]

@slim quartz

[slim quartz]

Thank u so much

[woven drift]

that wind farm is beautiful

[urban venture]

Can anyone send me some inspiration on there park.

[grim cosmos]

idek where to put my HOUSE like wtf

[barren karma]

can someone help me design a natural-looking cliff for behind ables and nooks to go all the way back to the museum? (the museum is moving to the yellow square :'). please help)

[weak solstice]

@versed wadi where is your house?

[grim cosmos]

it's in the top center

[austere cradle]

@barren karma something like this?

[versed wadi]

@weak solstice near enough the middle of the map 🙂

[weak solstice]

ooo I'm blind thanks

[barren karma]

i guess so... but it needs to be huge, bc im gonna make a forest/campsite/park

[austere cradle]

oo you could have flowers on the top

[barren karma]

and i rly want nooks to be near the beach but against a cliff!

[weak solstice]

Thanks a lot for the inspiration! I really like your island@versed wadi

[royal ridge]

LOOKING FOR a GOOD island designer, i'll pay ntm's or gold if you can help me layout my island and make it look good, dm me for more info:)))

[grim cosmos]

i honestly don't think anyone here is gonna design ur island for you but i may be wrong

[barren karma]

does anyone have any more inspo picks? the cliff needs to stretch allll the way to the back, but look natural... ;_;

i see mothra typing.... terraforming legend

[scenic blaze]

hahahaha

i had an idea then i lost it

[woven drift]

What do u think about it?

[scenic blaze]

i'm bad with straight lines i'm sorry 😭 are you open to changing the river behind them?

[barren karma]

i totally could!

[polar iris]

Im not really happy with how little terraforming i have here, so im planning to take everything and completely redo my island with more terraforming. Any thoughts on how to go about this?

@royal ridge i recommend https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/05/animal-crossing-new-horizons-island-planner/

[barren karma]

but, im also happy to move the river to be on top of the cliff

[grim cosmos]

yeah i feel like the only way you could do that is to take away the river. but you could make the cliffs stretch back and add a waterfall to flow back into the river

[quick wind]

What fence do you guys think goes best with terra-cotta tiles?

[royal ridge]

i chose THE WORST LAYOUT

[grim cosmos]

ur layout is legit fine

[royal ridge]

the hall is so close to the airport

[fallow drift]

Done terraforming. Now to do pathing

[grim cosmos]

it's not that bad

[quick wind]

At least you don’t have double south

[austere cradle]

omg thats so creative

[agile mantle]

whatcha typing calli 👀

[grim cosmos]

omg @fallow drift xD

[zinc hull]

@barren karma I’m not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but I have a lot of mountains on my island!

hehe lmao

[scenic blaze]

@barren karma something like this is what i'm thinking, excuse the crappy lines i'm using a mouse

[agile mantle]

THAT LOOKS LIKE A POPSICLE

[woven drift]

@quick wind I put this

[austere cradle]

@zinc hull your map looks so nice omg

[scenic blaze]

moving the circled section of the river to be on the second level instead of first

[barren karma]

the name makes me nostalgic!!
i remember alicante... <3

[scenic blaze]

lmao thank you melody

[zinc hull]

ty!

[lethal roost]

I would make my island super cool and have mountains and waterfalls if i had the time and bells to do so

[agile mantle]

thanks mothra now im hungry lmao

[snow seal]

Finally finished my museum / stargazing area!

[barren karma]

i love your island just for its name calli.... its so nostalllgic

[lethal roost]

h-how

[versed wadi]

More like... moonseum!

[barren karma]

[grim cosmos]

OMG @zinc hull weird question but could you pls show the residential area of ur map on the right 😭 I'm struggling on planning out my villagers housing. all i know is i'm putting them on cliffs

[barren karma]

and
@scenic blaze i love that, but im hoping to have the big chunk of land on the left so idk how to go about it ;_;

[ember sand]

What's the closest thing I can get to white fencing 🥺

[zinc hull]

ooooh, I originally got it from a book called shadowhunters! but I know it’s a place and it’s really cool!

[scenic blaze]

hmmm can you do a lame sketch like i did to help me visualize that

[barren karma]

totally! just a sec

[scenic blaze]

@ me when you're done i'm trying to sell DIYs so i'm in and out of chat here

[barren karma]

@scenic blaze like this would be awesome, but no diagonal waterfalls... but i can extend the river, i suppose!

but idk if i could make it work

[zinc hull]

@grim cosmos My island is currently a wip so I don’t really have a lot decorated yet! that area isn’t much, but I can dm a link to a video of some of it

[glossy cloak]

@barren karma amazing island

[scenic blaze]

ohhh you can totally do that. i'm sorry i thought you meant extending it to the new museum location, not the old

[grim cosmos]

totally! that'd be nice 🙂

[barren karma]

ty :') im still working it eheh

[scenic blaze]

this actually makes it easier

[barren karma]

oh, no problem!!

[glossy cloak]

my island is terrible lol

[sage jasper]

Done terraforming. Now to do pathing
@fallow drift I am so tripped out by your map.

[barren karma]

yeah, id have to do some funky shapes to make that work...

[fallow drift]

@sage jasper lol why

[vast crystal]

i rlly wanna tour a natural mountainy island !! someone dm me pls

[scenic blaze]

it's not so bad, i have a diagonal river area that i adjusted to work with a waterfall

[glossy cloak]

but good luck on working on your island

[blazing sorrel]

Does anyone have any campsite ideas! In need of some inspiration! And potential pathing ideas for it 🙂 ty in advance

[polar iris]

do you guys have any terraforming tips?

[barren karma]

but no, the old museum location! im gonna make a lil seating area along the path to the secret beach, etc etc.

[sage jasper]

@fallow drift I've never seen anything like it before. 😂

[thin folio]

Beau, Ankha and Judy all neighbours to each other now

[thorn portal]

Which path should i use its gonna go around the entire island

[barren karma]

but i need a good sketch first 😭

[fallow drift]

@sage jasper thats the goal!! I want my island to be super unique

[sage jasper]

@fallow drift That's cool! What rating are you at?

[glossy cloak]

@knotty venture damn nice

[barren karma]

ooh!! ok! i like that!

[meager warren]

would love some inspiration for my museum!! the spot where my museum is doesn't have much space, however I have stepping stones that lead to the entrance of the museum and would love to do something on that platform

[barren karma]

if its not a bother mothra, could you quickly sketch out the ideal shape for a big cliff in that area? i trust you, your terraforming is always gorgeous...

[quick wind]

What did you guys do to decorate the outside of a jocks home?

[barren karma]

it'd give me a good idea of size ideals too!

[blazing sorrel]

Campsite ideas pls 🙂

[scenic blaze]

my sketching is so basic lol but i'll give it a shot

repost your map pls idk how far back it is

[barren karma]

bc its gotta fit a campsite and a park....

ooh! i love the train traaacks!

i wonder if anyone has made a four seasons island?

[buoyant otter]

That looks great!

[versed wadi]

If not Fauna... Which villager would be suited to running my farm?

[barren karma]

like, a dedicated season in each corner!

[dim shale]

@clever minnow that's beautiful but it looks like a pain to do ouch

[ruby sequoia]

*me in the background crying

[barren karma]

@versed wadi whos your villagers again?

[neat gyro]

Thankss! At night the floorloghts also reflect the seasons

[clever minnow]

@dim shale Yeah it was, took nearly an hour haha

[bronze grove]

@versed wadi I’m using ketchup on my farm personally

[neat gyro]

Pink green white and orange!

[barren karma]

mikey thats so creative......... take some pictures at night and @ me, please!

[buoyant otter]

Does anybody else feel that our island suck. :(

[barren karma]

i get that alonso :')

[neat gyro]

Sure!

[queen nexus]

ok so like...the one thing that's fking me up is -- what do you put behind the resident service area if there's wide open space behind it???

[neat gyro]

Flowers

[versed wadi]

@barren karma i’ve got a stack of amiibo cards next to me so it can be anyone.

[neat gyro]

Thats what I did

[barren karma]

ooh! anyone at all, huh?

[clever minnow]

@queen nexus I placed a secret passageway behind mine

[scenic blaze]

@barren karma lmk if this is too hard to decipher right above nooks, i used the paint dipper tool thing. this would give you a good amount of space top do stuff on the second level. the black lines are just to symbolize that the river is up on the second level between them, they'd have to be straightened a bit.

[queen nexus]

Maybe I'm over thinking it

[barren karma]

thank you mothra!! thats perfect :')

[queen nexus]

@scenic blaze what happened to sedum

[dry hound]

help i have a 8x14 empty space what do i put there?

[scenic blaze]

that's kat's map lol

[barren karma]

oh, thats my island eheh ^^

[scenic blaze]

sedum is still kicking don't worry

[autumn night]

guys i have a whole bunch of empty space for my queen of hearts theme park any ideas of what to add?

[queen nexus]

oop

[austere cradle]

@dry hound cafe, pool area, snack /food court, park,

oo you could add statues and stuff

[woven drift]

@meager warren sorry for another ping lol but can rocks spawn next to rivers?

[scenic blaze]

kat if you want there is also plenty of room up there to add a third level, i could add stuff about that if you want

[austere cradle]

they need a 9 space radius like trees @woven drift

[barren karma]

if you wouldnt mind...! that'd be super cute for my campsite

[dry hound]

lol i already did a pool cafe and park

[woven drift]

oki

[barren karma]

the little space at the side of it to the left is ideal too! ill make like.... a lil flamingo area or something heheh

[meager warren]

@woven drift like Emma said, they basically follow the same rules as trees

[austere cradle]

@dry hound farm, rock quarry

[neat gyro]

@barren karma

[austere cradle]

thats so cute!!

[barren karma]

oooooh! i love that!!

[barren karma]

i got rid of all my natural shaping oops---

[queen nexus]

so did i...kind of regret?

[austere cradle]

sameee

[barren karma]

sort of? but it only looks weird on the map

[dry hound]

@austere cradle i was thinking a greenhouse but i have no good inspiration

[barren karma]

i dig it out of the map view

[queen nexus]

show yours emma 😮

[barren karma]

i only regret it bc it look like a giant E (dies)

[austere cradle]

@dry hound that would be super cute! with iron shelves and bonsai counter maybe

[oblique vapor]

Any ideas for little details or areas in a island??? Pls dm me I really need ideas😢

[frozen granite]

Might redo my whole island ngl

[austere cradle]

samee

[oblique vapor]

I think having a zoo would be kind of cool

[frozen granite]

Nd change my theme

[queen nexus]

@frozen granite i am redoing my whole island right now. it's a pain in the ass.

[barren karma]

i reset my game.... a week ago? i dont regret it, unless you have all your dreamies

[dry hound]

@austere cradle the only problem is that its a bit big

[scenic blaze]

@barren karma the dot thing is my idea for your campsite, i personally like cliffs surrounding buildings because the building being totally on top blocks the behind view. i also added a little waterfall hehe

[woven drift]

@frozen granite i did it and it was so worth it!!!! u have so much more opportunity to be creative with everything

[austere cradle]

i have to redo all of my terraforming.. not excited

[barren karma]

mothra.... thats literally so ideal

[frozen granite]

I just wanna do a disco theme now

But I’ll just mix it with the horror

[barren karma]

i WILL die for you
tysm!! ill pay you back sometime <3

[pine sierra]

im annoyed that i just changed my island around completly and now i want to move it all why is that

[oblique vapor]

Can I visit your guys 5 star islands I am really needing Inspo , PLEASE help me out , dm if interested

[austere cradle]

i have to take down all top levels i hate how square it is

[scenic blaze]

hahaha just show me pics when you're done, i'd love to see how you tweak my vision to match yours!

[queen nexus]

i saw this @frozen granite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUmD6hTgUFM

[frozen granite]

I have no talent

[limber mulch]

Tips for a 4star??

[pine sierra]

[barren karma]

[frozen granite]

[odd hedge]

hi! does anyone have a japanese themed island?id love some ideas/inspiration

[barren karma]

gn for now everyone
gl on your islands!

[clever minnow]

[frozen granite]

More like this

I have the codes and everything

[queen nexus]

i want to make an "this island doesn't suck" theme

[frozen granite]

Mines uglier than me

[deep spear]

that does look sick

[iron sorrel]

ive done something i love and hate
so all my island homes including my own are all packed together, i really like it. buuuuuut the issue is that this makes it hard to branch out from that area and have ideas on scenery

[frozen granite]

Mine

[clever minnow]

That’s so pretty, I rlly want the mush lamps 🥺

[oblique vapor]

Anyone have any natural theme islands!!!??! Looking to share some ideas and get some aswelll, any idea is a good one, pls DM if you are INTERESTED

[frozen granite]

Should I chnange tbis

[woven drift]

Any ideas?

[clever minnow]

@oblique vapor Maybe this will help

[pine sierra]

do you guys think having a small diner in the centre of the pond river thing would be a good idea?

[barren karma]

damnit evan, that makes me wanna rework MY residential area!!

[last ferry]

How’s my Island Entrance, going to the more tropical vibe. Any tips or suggestions

[dry hound]

ngl i spread out my houses except for a little circle of them i also left the rivers alone i want it to be more natural not mechanically straight anyone agree?

[barren karma]

i regret my mechanically straight rivers, so i agree

im too lazy to make them look natural tho

[scenic blaze]

straight line rivers are so much easier

which is why i just erased mine and started from scratch to avoid it lol

[barren karma]

that too! plus if i changed it, then my residential area would look totally wack

[iron sorrel]

im now realizing another mistake with my layout, due to the crunched up nature of it all, i have zero space for a proper entrance

[barren karma]

bc those NEED to be straight

[scenic blaze]

right

[queen nexus]

@scenic blaze can you share your layout again

[austere cradle]

not mine, but how do you get the lakes to look like this? its so pretty ;_;

[barren karma]

yes mothra! share. (takes not)

[dry hound]

lol i did add a whole section of rivers to try and make it natural and im pretty happy with it

[barren karma]

notes*

[scenic blaze]

@queen nexus this is from yesterday so it's changed a little even since then loll

[barren karma]

EEK the area in C3.... the time that must have taken--

[buoyant gate]

@oblique vapor here's a pic from my island:

[scenic blaze]

the lakes took 4 days to do and like 6 days to figure out how to decorate

[austere cradle]

that is so pretty

[barren karma]

you're so patient!

[austere cradle]

@scenic blaze truth

[blazing sorrel]

Anyone have any campsite ideas 🙂

[scenic blaze]

but i started this as a crappy MSpaint drawing just like i made for you kat lol

[austere cradle]

im redoing my island totally

[barren karma]

i started my resident area and then moved on to the next thing-- decorating comes later

well
if its any help
the drawing has made EVERYTHING 10x easier

[scenic blaze]

oop i found it

[round river]

how should i decorate sherbs yard?

[scenic blaze]

i matched the lakes pretty well, my upper right has changed since then

[shadow flare]

that aint crappy

[barren karma]

(plus, i appreciate the cute waterfall and campsite placement for me )

[blazing sorrel]

@buoyant gate do you have the code for the path? It’s gorge!

[scenic blaze]

lol i gotchu

[barren karma]

(saves me some energy ahah-)

[tame stag]

anybody know how far apart cloudy has her houses

[shadow flare]

tbh lakes are so hard to do but i love doing them

[scenic blaze]

the water tool is so touch and go

[shadow flare]

catching that natural feel is satisfying

[scenic blaze]

yessss

[zinc hull]

waterscaping in general is very fun but also frustrating

[shadow flare]

@scenic blaze i cant wait to show u the huge lake im working on

[scenic blaze]

i'm definitely a cliff person but if you looked at my map the lakes stand out so much more lol

i wanna seeeeeeeeeee

is the terraforming done and you're just decorating? if so show me the map pic 👀

[shadow flare]

ive done way more than this but its the latest pic

[scenic blaze]

OOOO

[shadow flare]

terra is done for the right

[scenic blaze]

i love the little streams on the sides

[grim cosmos]

waterscaping is THE WORST

[shadow flare]

im adding an island in the middle for stargazing

[zinc hull]

@shadow flare looks so cool! I can’t wait to see it in game!

[scenic blaze]

this is what the big lake looks like in-game if anyone hasn't seen yet https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1258075185200001025

mothra (@sedumisland)

call me shrek bc i live in a swamp #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch

Twitter

i love islands in the middle as you can tell lol i support that idea

[shadow flare]

damn u catch that abandoned ruins look amazingly

[scenic blaze]

it took 6 days and some hell trying to trade for a stonehenge

[shadow flare]

those rocks add so much

[buoyant gate]

@blazing sorrel the creator code is MA-0595-9598-0189 :)

[scenic blaze]

gibbs told me that my tall garden rock looks like a certain male body part 😦

[clever minnow]

Yikes, now what should I put in this area?

[shadow flare]

...

[zinc hull]

Ahhh I need more rocks on my island but I’ve run out of stone

[scenic blaze]

ahahahaha

i am CONSTANTLY out of stone

[grim cosmos]

do u like my river

[scenic blaze]

ooooo snakey

[grim cosmos]

ty took me 2 hours

[shadow flare]

i have so much stone cause i dont make rocks yet

[coarse jewel]

@grim cosmos that river so pretty and natural looking!! it does look like a snake lol

[grim cosmos]

now i die

ty 😭 omg

[zinc hull]

I felt like I had a lot of stone too, but to craft the rocks it needs so much! Before I knew it I was out.

[clever minnow]

Tell me about it, a stone arch alone costs 3 stacks of stone to make

[scenic blaze]

yeah i don't like how the wood items only take like 6 wood but all the rocks i like take at least 15 and up to 90

[sand crag]

what should i do w this area? i like outdoorsy themed stuff

[scenic blaze]

the wood items gave me a false sense of security

[zinc hull]

ikr the stone arch is crazy

[shadow flare]

seriously 90 stone for a big rock

[verbal rover]

maybe some sort of park type thing? :) ^^

[quiet peak]

What can I improve on my entrance

[scenic blaze]

@sand crag a fairy circle!

[sand crag]

ooo good idea!!

[lethal roost]

@quiet peak I’m not the best at decorating but maybe add tiki torches to the front and back of the bridge

[quiet peak]

Okay

[snow seal]

@quiet peak add some lights around or statues of some sort !

[tight grove]

If you’re going for an enclosed prison-y feel you can also do jail bars above the waterfalls on both sides maybe

[snow seal]

@sand crag you could do a library or a small cafe maybe a star gazing point? Picnic etc

[sand crag]

I was thinking a library but star gazing could be cool!! Every1 send me your fave outdoor areas for inspo plz 🥰

[rustic flare]

Open to explore (stores closed)

[scenic blaze]

now that i've revamped my nook shop i want to totally change ables 🤡 i have like 80 other projects why am i like this

[dry hound]

hey anyone know what i could put here?

[sand crag]

@scenic blaze my roommate is the ~main resident~ and I’m constantly bugging him to change things for me 😭 the pain of being number 2

[scenic blaze]

@sand crag RIP i would not be good at sharing

[dry hound]

sorry for the sideways pic

[sand crag]

I’ve considered buying my own switch but..seems not worth it when I’ve been building this 1 for a month

[scenic blaze]

but then you can have TWO islands

[snow seal]

If anyone wants island inspo lmk so we can go to each other’s islands for inspo!

[shadow flare]

classes done for today time to work on my island lol

[jaunty crane]

i know ive asked this already but im still having trouble making my garden look nice, any suggestions?

[queen nexus]

why are all of the good designs left river mouth

[woven drift]

ive never felt so ashamed in my life until i looked through this chat

[iron sorrel]

saaame

[dry hound]

anyone have any ideas for what to put here?

[scenic blaze]

left mouth best mouth

[woven drift]

like how tf do people come up withthis stuff

[zinc hull]

double South 😔

[shadow flare]

tbh this chat shouldnt shame you, it should encourage you to do as good or better than those you see

[scenic blaze]

@dry hound maybe a little bar? ignore this if you're underage

[iron sorrel]

im double south its hard to work with
Buut im making it work

[queen nexus]

i have right river mouth 😦

[scenic blaze]

lulu has a right mouth

[shadow flare]

@iron sorrel i feel you, just go with the flow

[scenic blaze]

her island is top tier amazing

[zinc hull]

100%

[dry hound]

@scenic blaze lol i want to but im doing one on the beach

also any way u think i could make my map look better? something just seems off

[scenic blaze]

i think it looks fine! you just have a lot of big pathed areas which isn't a bad thing

[ivory kiln]

I was hoping to get some ideas for the front of my airport/townhall. Unfortunately the town hall is in a really awkward place... any japan suburban/country vibe im down for

[scenic blaze]

NOT MINE/// i found lulu's map for right river mouth inspo @queen nexus idk if you've seen it before

[modern spruce]

I’m doing an arcade place area, does it look good?

[dry hound]

yea like i made a cafe which i put pathing all over so it kinda look like a big block

[deft plank]

Anyone got campsite inspo? Super natural type

[queen nexus]

oh yeah i've seen it. i'm just not capable of that level of terraforming lmao. gonna need to do something simple.

[scenic blaze]

yeah she's even more ridonkulous than me lol

[main jay]

Isabelle took away my 5 star rating for having too many trees 😭

[deft plank]

Dang they deduct points for trees? I’m making mine super Forresty

[queen nexus]

i have a similar rs/airporrt to @ivory kiln its the worst

[long wasp]

220 trees tops

[ivory kiln]

@queen nexus 🅱️ruh i consider myself creative but this shit got me stumped

[queen nexus]

mine are aligned at between 5/6 which is even WORSE.

[scenic blaze]

cliffs are the answer to any low-space entrance question

[main jay]

@deft plank I want to actually add more but now she's hating on me so hard idk what to do

[spring sentinel]

Im looking for an entrance

[deft plank]

This is unsettling news 😥 I wanted so many trees on my island

[queen nexus]

i am sooooo tempted to just do a complete do over but all of the hours....

[grim cosmos]

i usually spend 90% of the time staring at my map being like hmmm where should things go. then it's 9pm and i start terraforming a little

[coarse jewel]

dont let the 5 stars stop u !! put all the trees lol, i mean as long as u hit 5 stars once and got the lilly of the valley + golden watering can i dont think its that important to maintain it at 5

[wet ice]

Have any of you guys replaced your hard wood trees with cedar? Or have pics/ tips on how to blend cedar with the hardwood well?

[main jay]

I have hidden parts that are only hidden because of trees. She doesn't understand my aesthetic. Maybe once I eventually get more items, it'll balance it out?

[grim cosmos]

like my residents don't live anywhere so how about i make a giant river

my logic

[ivory kiln]

Like i want to make one of those cool long waterfall entrances but i dont know to layout the rest of the island cause i want cliffy areas at the back and than open space to the front yknow

[coarse jewel]

@grim cosmos ssame omg ive just been staring at my game for hours and havent done anything

[grim cosmos]

LMAO

[woeful yoke]

@scenic blaze I took inspiration from the cliffs on your island and other friends islands to do my entrance. Only way to make it functional

[scenic blaze]

@wet ice i use a TON of cedar on my island, all my areas are mixed

[manic lantern]

@wet ice yeah I started using only Cesar trees mainly

[queen nexus]

i remove one piece of land and call it .a night

[main jay]

I think cedar, hardwood, and bamboo go perfectly together thrown about

[grim cosmos]

legit they all live on the beach like wtf pls make us yards but no i rather make rivers

[wet ice]

Do you guys have any pics you can show me 🥺

[scenic blaze]

@woeful yoke you can't just say that and not send pics!

[slow dagger]

OMF YES!

[zinc hull]

I mainly use cedar! That’s my problem, I need to branch out and use different trees lol.

[wet ice]

I really want to mix mine but every time I try it looks so ugly

[scenic blaze]

these are fruit trees but you get the drift, i honestly just need to replace them

[woeful yoke]

@scenic blaze Give me a few and i'll post them! I even used cliffs to separate my shopping and watering area for when I have visitors! Just need to place a few random fences so people cant climb cliffs

[wet ice]

Oh that looks good!!

[void wren]

anyone got a simple museum entrance im not willing to waste a billion inclines on mine lol

[scenic blaze]

@woeful yoke yaaas take your time though

[main jay]

I think yards are overrated. I was so adamant about making them and now I stare at them.... being empty and regret it a bit tbh

[coarse jewel]

im struggling with my museum too 😦

[queen nexus]

you know what's overrated

giant waterfals that take up all of your space so you remove them and now you're left with nothing

[hallow dirge]

Looking for someone to help me design my island! I have 3kNMT, 70M bells and 200+ extra recipes! Dm me if your interested in helping me and name your price!

[ivory kiln]

Lmaoo

[deep spear]

depends who youre building the yard for i guess

[main jay]

The only big waterfall I have is from my main part of town that flows into the extra residential area

[bold stone]

does anyone have good ideas for an entrance if ur resident services is right infront of the airport

[pine sierra]

anyone know what i should do with this bit of land?

[fervent aspen]

my island needs more trees tbh

[scenic blaze]

same area, different perfect baby villager

[woven drift]

can rocks spawn next to cliff sides and bushes

[grim cosmos]

Why is that the most realistic rock ever

[scenic blaze]

@pine sierra farm?

[void wren]

😳 that area is very poggers

[wet ice]

@scenic blaze do you have dark dirt path throughout your island?

[scenic blaze]

lol the DIY rocks are so much more realistic than other rocks
