[fair prawn]

@uncut spindle same, I don't want to pay...

[fiery iris]

i only want bridges over cliff gaps, please nintendo

[timid kernel]

they don't have the best track record with releasing main stream AC games lol

[red oyster]

the developer already said 3 years of update for new horizons

[uncut spindle]

I mean I can't imagine what next-gens game prices will be for Nintendo at this rate, 3DS was $50, switch is like $80...

[frozen axle]

last one was like a decade ago right? this is my first one

[timid kernel]

NL to NH was a trip.. probably due to the failure of the nintendo wii u

[uncut spindle]

Yeah, they were most likely planning one for Wii U

[red oyster]

the wii u had spinoffs

[frozen axle]

pocket camp exists

[uncut spindle]

I mean they had all the models (from that plaza thing) and all they did with them was make a board game?

[timid kernel]

i said main stream AC games

[versed wadi]

I think… I want a new Eagle.

[fiery iris]

oh my god NL released in 2012, im old

[versed wadi]

Apollo is dull!

[timid kernel]

they were probably trying to see if a spin off could attract more people to the wii u, but the fact we had that system and no main AC game is telling

[frozen axle]

I got apollo because I just didnt want Sylvia anymore

[uncut spindle]

@versed wadi what?! Apollo is the best eagle >:(

Sylvia is also the best kangaroo?!!!@frozen axle

[fiery iris]

i have apollo on my NL island

hes a chad

[frozen axle]

not a fan of any of the kangaroos

[uncut spindle]

I have both on my NH island

[versed wadi]

I was hoping to give him like an eagle's roost at the back of the island on the 3rd level but his house doesn't fit with that idea at all.

[uncut spindle]

I think Sylvia was one of my starters in New Leaf, I can't remember though and someone has been borrowing my 3DS (to play New Leaf) for months so I can't check

She was my starter in New Horizons too though

[timid kernel]

@frozen axle the little babies on some of them are a bit creepy if you look close enough, they mimic the parent .. like.. a clone, it'd be nice if they gave them silent personalities to make them appear different and more alive

[uncut spindle]

I think it's cool that the babies are exact clones though, idk. They kinda mess up some of the clothes though, especially things with buttons

[frozen axle]

the real villager is the baby and its controlling the mother unit like a robot inside the pouch

[uncut spindle]

O.o

[placid rover]

I’m going to change everything by the campsite but other then that I like this but I’m gonna make the campsite a spirited away area

[timid kernel]

haha!

@frozen axle you are onto them

[frozen axle]

and thats why they have to go

[fair prawn]

@placid rover that is such a creative use of terraforming

[frozen axle]

@placid rover someone did the spirited away bathhouse, dunno if youve seen it

[uncut spindle]

@placid rover I love it omggg

[rugged rain]

Is it possible to visit you btw @frozen axle I saw pictures and it looked nice!

[frozen axle]

the biggest attraction is Ankhas moon shrine, theres really not much else

im about ot head to bed, but if you ask tomorrow i wouldnt be opposed

[rugged rain]

Okay great! It's 14:28 in the day here so if you kinda let me know when your tomorrow starts haha

[frozen axle]

lmao in like 6 hours or so

[uncut spindle]

Wow timezones are crazy lol

[rugged rain]

Ah great, I'll tag you if that's alright!

[frozen axle]

naw my sleep schedules just fucked. the suns coming up

[rugged rain]

Yes they are crazy hahaha

[frozen axle]

and yea thats fine

[fiery iris]

suns been up for about an hour where i am lmao

[rugged rain]

Okay ty!

[uncut spindle]

Half the time I forget they exist, and then I go into discord at 2pm and everyone's asleep lol

[frozen axle]

yep im off to bed, dont forget to build more water everyone

[kind sinew]

does anyone want to help me on terraforming,ive been stuck on the same place for 2 weeks cuz idk how to start,i can pay in various ways,DM me

[fiery iris]

hm?

[uncut spindle]

@kind sinew try #mysterybags-and-yardsales or #690093605821480980 maybe

@kind sinew also other players can't teraform on your island

[versed wadi]

woah the north-east of my island is a mess

[woven drift]

i hate the water tool so much why do i keep messing up like that

[ocean raft]

@kind sinew There's a great guide in the pinned messages

[versed wadi]

Turns out I was using those custom paths

[fiery iris]

omg i would looove a feature where it shows what square you are targeting

like in that QoL meme video

[soft plaza]

does anyone have any cute dump ideas?

[uncut spindle]

The north-south-east-west of my island is awful ;C

[gritty narwhal]

The secret beach passageway:)

[uncut spindle]

That looks so nice omg

[rugged rain]

Super nice! I have something like that

[umbral pilot]

Quitte happy with this area (museum entrance)

[uncut spindle]

I should really use those mush lamps in places other than my little mushroom area

[fiery iris]

i love the little bench there

[woven drift]

i try to round an edge and i end up creating more water

[gritty narwhal]

Yeah they’re so expensive tho

[woven drift]

@gritty narwhal this is so cool

[uncut spindle]

WOW @umbral pilot I love it!!!! I didnt think of using a bridge for some reason

[umbral pilot]

WOW @umbral pilot I love it!!!! I didnt think of using a bridge for some reason
@uncut spindle Ty 🙂

[fiery iris]

ok but wheres the museum lol

[uncut spindle]

Probably 3rd layer

@fiery iris

[woven drift]

Will someone pls help me design my whole island I will pay 100nmts pls help me I’m not good with creative stuff

[fiery iris]

ohhh i can barely see the top yeah, got you

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift try #mysterybags-and-yardsales #690093605821480980 maybe to get more people to help

[umbral pilot]

Yh about there haha

[woven drift]

Thanks

[uncut spindle]

I honestly love that design though, I'm basically doing the same thing but minus all the cool things you have that make it look good haha @umbral pilot

[fiery iris]

honestly looks really nice, gonna do something similar for mine

you can only have 8 slopes right?

[uncut spindle]

Yeah :/

And 8 bridges

[fiery iris]

risky business using 4 for the museum

[uncut spindle]

I'm already at 4 inclines and I've only designed like 2 tiny parts of my island so far O.O

@stone magnet I feel like making them all the same chair would make it feel more cohesive idk, maybe a bonfire in the middle too?

[vivid portal]

Hey all anyone got some nice rustic/natural designs for museum entrances? I'm looking for something simple and effective

[umbral pilot]

@uncut spindle That’s awesome! Just take your time

[blissful smelt]

Need ideas for Judy’s yard now that I moved some bamboo trees to Kabuki’s yard

[uncut spindle]

@blissful smelt which one is Judy?

Is it the starry-eyed pink/purple bear?

[blissful smelt]

Yes

[uncut spindle]

You could put some Celeste items there and/or star fragments

[woven drift]

i moved my campsite and now i have this huge space, any ideas?

[uncut spindle]

Maybe use a custom pattern galaxy floor/rug also?@blissful smelt

[versed wadi]

i moved my campsite and now i have this huge space, any ideas?
@woven drift Lucky you!

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift it's right near your airport right? Maybe you could make a little like entrance plaza or something?

[uncut forum]

What else can i put in my island.. seems like too much empty space

[woven drift]

@uncut spindle that sounds good what kinda furniture do you have in mind?

[versed wadi]

What else can i put in my island.. seems like too much empty space
@uncut forum Start with your current plan, ideas will hit you as you build 🙂

[uncut forum]

Hmm i really want an outdoor arcade area but i dk where should i put

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift I'm not sure, maybe brick/stone pavement (whichever one fits your island) and garden benches, a fountain, streetlights, brick/stone fences (again whichever fits your island)

[blissful smelt]

Thanks! I have the moon chair diy so I might put that in. As far as flowers go I definitely want some lining the square path sides on the way to her house but I’m not sure what color. It’ll probably be lilys or roses. I also have pink wind flowers

[barren carbon]

hi any layout that the aiport is very close to but not centered resident service? preferably castle layout? much appreciated 😄 im so stuck

[uncut spindle]

@blissful smelt you could go pink and purple roses maybe? Since those are her main colours

[rose widget]

@gritty narwhal xD similar

[woven drift]

@uncut spindle thanks a lot i think i already have something in mind!

[rugged rain]

@grim cosmos @eager burrow @patent sky I was scrolling in this topic a bit and I was wondering if I could visit any (or all :p) of you to visit because I thought it looked nice! Let me know if that is okay :)

[woven drift]

hey guys. can anyone give me an island layout? I'll give 50 nmt

[uncut spindle]

Wdym by give you an island layout?

[woven drift]

give me some sort of a map sketch or anything

[fiery iris]

design a nice layout for them to follow im assuming

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift well what style island do you want?

[woven drift]

I'm going for a water theme, which means many rivers and ponds

but also I want the villager houses to be in line with each other

[uncut spindle]

Search @frozen axle in this channel they had a really nice water layout

[woven drift]

that's cool but I don't wanna directly copy his work 😳

[last sentinel]

Anyone have cool orchard inspo?

[marble sapphire]

@woven drift yeah please dont offer NMT for that. You can use the search for inspo
in:#island-designs has:images

[woven drift]

Opinion ?

[fiery iris]

take inspiration, change it up, move things around

[uncut spindle]

You could just take some inspiration from it though @woven drift

[woven drift]

kinda like that guy

[fiery iris]

looks really nice

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift really solid layout

[rugged rain]

@woven drift Looks great! Are you doing any visits?

[woven drift]

Tnxx

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift also looks like really interesting teraforming!

[marble sapphire]

looks really complex. nice one

if you have a video from your switch, would be nice as well

[woven drift]

I tried at firniture trade

Like 50mins already and nothing

@woven drift hey help me design an island 😖

I like your style

Thanks its a mess right now

[keen fox]

Redoing my entire entrance, does anyone wanna share their ideas so I can be inspired pls 💛 stuck for ideas

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift try posting there again regularly I guess

[woven drift]

"mess"

yet it looks better than my entire island

[fiery iris]

honestly, looks like you nailed the water look

[marble sapphire]

yeah sorry rules is rules @woven drift

[woven drift]

@uncut spindle i post every 10mins

@fiery iris thank yoy

@woven drift pls help me design a water paradise

You*

[placid rover]

Anyone have a good idea for a Hawaiian themed area

[woven drift]

Not sure i have the facilities for that@woven drift big man

[rose widget]

@placid rover King Kamehameha statue, is it on the beach? If so you can place fishing poles by the water. I'm from Oahu xD

[woven drift]

this took a couple of hours to plan, could i have some feedback?

[finite basalt]

wow. looks fantastic

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift looks really good!! I'm not sure how to give constructive criticism on it, looks super intricate and detailed

[woven drift]

thank you!

i dont regret choosing the double south outlets anymore lol

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift the shops and buildings can't be rotated btw if that's what you're doing with the shops, idk I usually have paths right up to the doors but it still works without them

[clear ore]

I love that. Hope it works just as you planned it, you need to show us your island in a video when it's done!

[woven drift]

oh i know, i already have that part set up
and ty!

[uncut spindle]

I second that, you'd better show us when it's done haha!!

[woven drift]

its gonna take a few weeks to terraform rip me

[versed wadi]

this took a couple of hours to plan, could i have some feedback?
@woven drift I can't wait to see this take shape!

That looks incredible

[short vortex]

Which type of staircase looks best when the incline goes into terra-cotta tiles?

[finite basalt]

brick cause lighter color

[stoic orchid]

Lily that looks so beautiful!! Ooh I have the moon pond too lol

[short vortex]

That’s what I was thinking. Maybe log staircase but the ramp looks weird

[hollow trout]

If I create a second person will I get free custom design slots on that person?😓

[versed wadi]

@reef onyx unfortunately not 😦

[hollow trout]

I beg one day they add more slots aha

thank you anyway

[gritty sentinel]

Wait, really? Multiple characters on the same island share the same 50 custom slots?

[versed wadi]

yeah, it sucks

[gritty sentinel]

Wow that is actually terrible design.

[regal adder]

knowing nintendo they probably won't do anything

[woven drift]

That doesn’t bother me since I only share with or other person

[last sentinel]

my residential area so far 🥰

[novel plaza]

does anyone have any idea to put on my island? currently i have a pool, cafe, spa, karaoke, library and celeste area.

[daring terrace]

What have you guys done with all those rock platforms at the top of your map? No clue what to do with mine

[gritty sentinel]

@novel plaza farmer's market?

[woven drift]

What have you guys done with all those rock platforms at the top of your map? No clue what to do with mine
@daring terrace lighthouse

[novel plaza]

that’s a good idea, i could finally put to use some of the farm items i have!@gritty sentinel

[daring terrace]

@woven drift how many lighthouses does one island need 😂

[errant otter]

my residential area so far 🥰
@last sentinel WOW! I'm planninga similar setup with a few of my villagers as well!

[gritty sentinel]

@daring terrace threw some campfire areas on them and then ignored them, just like my beaches haha

[woven drift]

@woven drift how many islands does one island need 😂
@daring terrace what

[valid oasis]

my residential area so far 🥰
@last sentinel looks good, love the fence. I’d put the back row on a higher level for visibility/visual interest

[opal stream]

do you have any port enrance design?

[meager warren]

does anyone have any surfing/beach shack sorta areas? Would love some inspiration!

[daring terrace]

@woven drift I just means there’s like 5 to fill

[woven drift]

@woven drift I just means there’s like 5 to fill
@daring terrace I don’t understand

[daring terrace]

@woven drift there are several rocky bits hitting out of the top of the map ??

[woven drift]

And

Decorate them all

[gritty sentinel]

@woven drift I think they're saying that there are a lot of small areas like that on their layout and they are having some trouble figuring out what to put on them all

[woven drift]

And I gave a suggestion for at least one

[daring terrace]

@woven drift and.. lighthouse isn’t an answer to the question I was posing then?

[gritty sentinel]

@daring terrace some people have done cool forced perspective things; you can see a lot on the ac subreddit!

[rose widget]

Did the layout for Tarantula island get updated?

[raven kindle]

Campside layouts please?

[opal stream]

airport entrance ideas?

[uncut spindle]

@daring terrace you could put the stone stool, stone table, garden rock, tall garden rock, mossy garden rock, etc on them

[dark hearth]

im renovating my island and im not even half way done, just starting the entrance. thoughts?

constructive criticism would be nice

[woven drift]

@opal stream lil 'souvenir' shops using stalls? for when you want to trade diy recipes or other things with people! easy access and possibly cute

[uncut spindle]

@dark hearth pretty good, I would add streetlights on the 1x1 islands maybe

[dark hearth]

oo never thought about that

ty

[opal stream]

@opal stream lil 'souvenir' shops using stalls? for when you want to trade diy recipes or other things with people! easy access and possibly cute
@woven drift that's nice!!

[woven drift]

@opal stream haha ty! i woulda done that but i didnt have enough room near my entrance so 😂

here's a somewhat outdated pic of what i did to my entrance haha

[opal stream]

@opal stream haha ty! i woulda done that but i didnt have enough room near my entrance so 😂
@woven drift actually , i have a low imagination 😦

[boreal hearth]

@dark hearth You should put a statue/art/etc. On those blank ones in the middle of your river. It would make it a grand entrance 🥳 and maybe some floor lights for the ambiance

[soft plaza]

@dark hearth you can asldo put arches on the larger islands

[opal stream]

@opal stream haha ty! i woulda done that but i didnt have enough room near my entrance so 😂
@woven drift sugoi!!

[woven drift]

@soft plaza thats so pretty

@opal stream ty haha!

[uncut spindle]

Does anyone have ideas for an entryway that's only like 5 spaces vertically?

[dark hearth]

tyty

[mellow wolf]

I'm making a viewing area next to the museum ❤️ anyone made something like this before or has any tips for neat items that would fit?

[tidal pike]

@uncut spindle Whats ur island theme?

[uncut spindle]

@mellow wolf you could use custom patterns that use roads

[woven drift]

@uncut spindle country fence with hedge fence behind it and cute decorations next to those? maybe tiny waterfalls on the sides?

[uncut spindle]

@tidal pike honestly I have NO idea, I just have little themed areas around the place haha

[last sentinel]

anyone have a more elegant replacement for the little bonfires next to my statues? i want something that gives light but isn’t so rugged

[tidal pike]

oh LOL, then maybe do a market alleyway kinda entrance

[uncut spindle]

@last sentinel streetlights, tiki torches

[gritty sentinel]

@last sentinel Hyacinth lamps?

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift @tidal pike Ty!

[woven drift]

@last sentinel white garden lights! you can get them through the atm app

[ancient fjord]

does anyone have any cottagecore island inspo?

[tidal pike]

at this ppoint the market alleyway is sorta overated since everyone is doing it now due to videos on youtube, but i gotta admit they look rlly good

[errant swift]

@last sentinel floorlights?

[soft plaza]

@last sentinel if you change the garden lamps into white tall streetlamps and place the garden lamps where the bonfires would be

[woven drift]

@ancient fjord outdated pics but here!!

[last sentinel]

@soft plaza oooo i like that

[uncut spindle]

@last sentinel I second what White Wulf said

[cedar spoke]

Alright guys here's a poll idea, react "👍" for three tile wide paths. React "💯" for 2 wide paths.

Just curious on what how wide people's paths are

[last sentinel]

anyone have white street lamps i can catalogue? lol mine are green :/

[woven drift]

@cedar spoke 💯

[uncut spindle]

@cedar spoke I use 2-wide paths everywhere to line up with inclines/bridges, but use 3-wide at building entrances to line up with their steps/doors

[errant swift]

@cedar spoke mine are 4 to have paths under fencing

[uncut spindle]

@last sentinel try #furniture-trade :)

[cedar spoke]

😬 tbh I thought there would've been more 3 path wide people

I'm one

[gritty sentinel]

@cedar spoke depends on context? I use both

[errant swift]

I like my four wide paths

[daring terrace]

@last sentinel can’t catalog buy them unfortunately

[cedar spoke]

Do villagers walk on 2 wide paths like on roads? And if I do 3 wide will it still work like that?

[errant swift]

Villagers dont care

[cedar spoke]

Cause like I feel like villagers almost walk like cars and stay on certain sides

Alright I just had a hunch on that

[errant swift]

And why u discriminating 4 widers and 1 widers

[cedar spoke]

🏃‍♂️

[woven drift]

I barely see my villagers walk at all

[soft plaza]

@cedar spoke why not alternate the path size where some parts are 4 tile others 3 and smaller road of 2

[cedar spoke]

Idk I just wanted to debate on whether I should use 3 or 2

[woven drift]

90% of the time they hang out at town hall

[cedar spoke]

I saw a post of 1 wide paths and villagers just sit there and the path is no longer usable 😂

[woven drift]

my weirdos are either at town hall or in their lil neighbourhoods i put them in

[cedar spoke]

I wish they hung out at other areas, I have a big cafe I want them in but they never go up there at all

@woven drift same and it's making me sad that I work hard for them not to use them

[snow seal]

They always sit right next to me while terraforming LOL

[errant swift]

Am i the only one who puts all my unwanted villagers in a block of housing and the ones i like in yards?

[woven drift]

I feel like inclines make them less likely to be on higher ground

@cedar spoke maybe you can put some houses closer to those kinds of areas? (if that doesnt mess with yo plans ofc

[cedar spoke]

Eh I kinda lile where they're at rn

[woven drift]

hmm idk then

[spice musk]

Why some people say its bad that the resident services Is near the airport? Have u heard of that before? Lol

[woven drift]

it might help to have a 'path' of items that interact from town hall to the place you want them to be at. like have some instruments hidden behind trees or lil chairs etc. they might get interested in those and then go their merry way onto your fancy areas

[cedar spoke]

This is their neighborhood and I kinda like it how it is

[soft plaza]

@spice musk its only bad if you plan on elaborate entrances to your town

[woven drift]

ohh cute!!

[cedar spoke]

I live with my villagers 🥰

I see people have isolated houses that are stacked up but I like that I'd be apart of their neighborhood so I could be closer with them

[gritty sentinel]

I isolated my house on the top left of the map from all of them, up an incline and in the middle of a cedar forest and I still find them trespassing on my lawn multiple times a day...

[woven drift]

@gritty sentinel trespassing 😂😂

[errant swift]

My house is on a private mountain not too far away, but villagers never go there

[woven drift]

i isolated me and my bf and made two cute neighbourhoods haha! the one up hill is more foresty and the normal one is gunna be fancy-ish

[cedar spoke]

In the pic that I sent I have the private beach accessible for my villagers and sometimes they go down there and sit on the beach chair or sing to the music and it's so adorable 😄

The private beach is apart of the neighborhood

[versed mural]

So, I have a dilemma. Does anyone here rn have mountains, or like 3-tier terraforming... what do you do in the back when it severely blocks the view of things?

[unique pond]

@versed mural i have that dilemma too, i try to fill that space with trees or water

[woven drift]

i have sm free spaces o. my island like this how can i improve these areas any tips?

[versed mural]

Yeah, like push the space out with like forest... that’s a good idea

@woven drift Ideas for empty areas: orchard, cafe, library, nature trail, picnic/park, carnival, witchy hexing circle, graveyard, enchanted shroom forest, some kinda celestial/starry moon garden thingy, rock garden, spa/bath house, greenhouse, farm, market, farmer’s market! beeeeees! turtles! gnomes!

[unique pond]

@versed mural it can get a little claustrophobic though, i found myself creating way more valleys than i needed because of this. so i ended up clearing entire mountains away haha

[proper grove]

I also fill the space with trees, water or flowers, and if its something I can alk on I'll fence it off so I don't accidentally run too close

[polar dagger]

@woven drift expand out into a park/cafe on the left, and on the right make a nice walkway to the beach with hedges and flowers

[unreal seal]

So I’m tearing down my entrance today to redo it. Going for a cottagecore theme for my island now. My favorite place I just redid is my house 🙂

[snow seal]

Hi! My island is studio ghibli inspired and I’m looking for related designs to ghibli movies! Or any tips!

[unique pond]

@unreal seal both are beautiful, good job!

[versed mural]

@proper grove ah, fencing it off. Good idea too

[unreal seal]

@unique pond thank you 🙂

[fiery iris]

oh my god i thought that was a bigass bridge

[proper grove]

my very first thing off the airport is a max height mountain and my entry paths are basically tunnels around it, you get used to the terrain after a while

[unique pond]

@snow seal i would add paper lanterns/stone lions along the bridge, not sure if it will ruin the spirited away aesthetic though

[versed mural]

@proper grove me too 😭 mountains immediately. I love them so much 😭

[snow seal]

Yes it would haha it would look super off I added paper lanterns at the both ends

And at the secret island

[versed mural]

I wish you “place” ladders to climb. Like one tile ladders

Like wtf

[proper grove]

I would love that!

I've BEEN out of inclines

[versed mural]

Yeah everyone has lmao

People out there using six inclines for museum entrances

[jaunty orchid]

Anyone wanna visit my island?! Please dont take any of the mushrooms :) dm me for code

[proper grove]

I couldn't waste inclines on a fancy entrance, then I wouldn't be able to get anywhere else haha

[versed mural]

@snow seal what about custom designs for more characters? Like your adorable no face dude

[snow seal]

Yess I need that but I can’t seem to find any

[versed mural]

Make them!!

[proper grove]

I'm still moving an incline every couple days, trying to find the least difficult way to get up and down my mountains

[snow seal]

I wanna add a ponyo inspired design at the beach

[fiery iris]

ponyo is a fever dream

[versed mural]

Place a bucket with a tiny pnyo that flopped out next to it

[snow seal]

omg yes

That’s so cute

[woven drift]

i only used 4 inclined LOL, one for redd's beach, two for my second layers, 1 third layer

[proper grove]

too bad the simple panels can't have separate designs top and bottom, you could do a turnip head standee

i only used 4 inclined LOL, one for redd's beach, two for my second layers, 1 third layer
@woven drift I currently have to ladder to Redd's beach, which would be annoying if he EVER COMES BACK

[past basin]

My entrance nighttime, mebbe too many lights

[polar dagger]

Hey, I need blue flowers for a huge project in my flower garden, does anybody know a good place to get hybrids?

[woven drift]

turns out he comes at 3-5 am!!@proper grove i saw him while tt'ing for sharks earlier LOL

[versed mural]

I have a secret tunnel to Redd lol. But yeah, have only seen the bastard once

[woven drift]

sometimes he disappears before proper morning time

[gritty sentinel]

@polar dagger the garden trade and services channel, probably

[polar dagger]

@gritty sentinel thank you

[proper grove]

ohhh really? good to know!

[woven drift]

yes,, he is bastardous like that

this island is insane

[versed mural]

And he calls me family... HA!

[proper grove]

wait. He calls ME family... that two-timing........

[woven drift]

@versed mural it would be cute if you got family discount while wearing the fox masks

[pseudo basin]

@woven drift I like your layout!!

[polar dagger]

I guess I'm time traveling then! I need more art

[woven drift]

@pseudo basin ty haha!

[versed mural]

Awe, I love that lol

[woven drift]

trash island layout

[deft mulch]

Could I vist someones island

[woven drift]

bad camera quality

Can anyone let me see their garden/flower breeding layout? Im out of ideas lmao

[shell gyro]

@past basin very nice entrance

[polar dagger]

@deft mulch I could set up my island! Its 5-stars

[deft mulch]

Could I see it

[versed mural]

@woven drift I have straight lines of cloning gardens on a cliff, and then a hangout spot at the end

[woven drift]

ahh i remember when mine was 5 stars.. then i started doing everything over shsksksk, still havent replaced most of my trees

@versed mural that looks too cozy!!

Okay

[snow seal]

@versed mural THATS so cute 🥺

[polar dagger]

@woven drift I just got mine to 5-stars yesterday so I'm looking forward to getting the lily of the valley

[civic geode]

@woven drift I have straight lines of cloning gardens on a cliff, and then a hangout spot at the end
@versed mural Lol did you steal someone's lost book. The one on the very left.

[woven drift]

my layout sucks
but I’d rip my hair out if I had to start over

@polar dagger make sure to get loads b4 you change enough to get back to 4 stars ,,,,

[shell gyro]

Which moon would look better in middle creseant or full ?

[woven drift]

full!! symmetry

[uncut spindle]

@versed mural I love that you used the lost book omg??

[woven drift]

reee all these islands are so good

[polar dagger]

@woven drift thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind when mushrooms come to my timezone!

[versed mural]

@shell gyro go all out and do the full in the middle and crescent on either side

[shell gyro]

@woven drift yeah that's what I was thinking

@versed mural genius ahaha

[woven drift]

time to go copy again

[summer depot]

Photo from last night on my twilight star garden

[woven drift]

oh waoh

[shell gyro]

@summer depot very niceee

[uncut spindle]

@summer depot omg if only I had the star fragments and recipes I would completely copy that lol

[versed mural]

@uncut spindle “what was this for again?”

[summer depot]

Thanks ima re model it soon’

[uncut spindle]

@versed mural they'll never know

[woven drift]

the fence looks a bit out of place though but its all so perfect and grgr,,,,,

[polar dagger]

@uncut spindle I have extra Taurus fragments, idk if that helps but I do

[summer depot]

the fence looks a bit out of place though but its all so perfect and grgr,,,,,
@woven drift any better fence ideas? Wish we could paint them white lol

[shell gyro]

Don't have either moon recipie so will need to figure that out lol

[uncut spindle]

@polar dagger not really haha, don't really need a bathtub

[meager warren]

anyone have a carnival/fairground?

[woven drift]

i dont really know but im gonna search up the fences

[polar dagger]

Touche @uncut spindle

[versed mural]

@woven drift I would do iron or stone

[woven drift]

stone fences might work!!!!

yeyey cause they looks sorta white

[uncut spindle]

@meager warren I do, it's not very good though

[versed mural]

That was meant for neverdeadly as well

[woven drift]

i have like,,, 150 pllus extra stone fences no lie

all the fences need customization options

[uncut spindle]

They showed white fences in the trailers >:(

[polar dagger]

Imagine being able to use customization kits to paint fences

[versed mural]

Did they really? Hahaha

[meager warren]

@uncut spindle would love to see it! I need some inspiration for mine

[gritty sentinel]

all the fences need customization options
@woven drift I would do terrible things for a mossy stone fence option

[woven drift]

@polar dagger why are you not hired by nintendo yet

[summer depot]

anyone have a carnival/fairground?
@em.c12#0863 > stone fences might work!!!!
@woven drift i like the idea but it wont appeal much to me. I think the fences i chose are my best best for now or i could with bushes or hedges

[polar dagger]

@woven drift I'm 2 years old I cant work yet

[woven drift]

@polar dagger smart for a stinki infant ;000 woah

[copper shard]

Is anyone willing to come take a look at my island and give me some constructive criticism/ any suggestions? I can pay if that's needed. Just kinda hit a design block :/

[versed mural]

Send us pics

[sacred falcon]

Do you guys have any suggestions on what I should do here it’s just empty space

[woven drift]

@copper shard put some pics of the areas that need work?? multiple opinions!

im bored

[versed mural]

We need specifics

[plucky nest]

so this is how my park is coming along! anything I should change?

[woven drift]

make a band area!!!!!

[shell gyro]

@sacred falcon playground or park

[copper shard]

Okay 1 sec I'll take pics

[sacred falcon]

I already have one rip

[polar dagger]

@copper shard just wait for pictures in the discord you'll definitely get ideas!

[versed mural]

@sacred falcon Ideas for empty areas: orchard, cafe, library, nature trail, picnic/park, carnival, witchy hexing circle, graveyard, enchanted shroom forest, some kinda celestial/starry moon garden thingy, rock garden, spa/bath house, greenhouse, farm, market, farmer’s market! beeeeees! turtles! gnomes!

[weary vale]

@plucky nest dark dirt under the flowers could be nice 🙂

[woven drift]

witchy hexing circle?

[urban venture]

I updated my airport entrance (:3 」∠)

[magic frost]

I think this is where I should put it, heres a little place I made for Stitches I think he likes it.

[woven drift]

@versed mural you reminded me i wanted to make a beekeeper area,,? thanku

@urban venture it looks so regal!!! wow!

[plucky nest]

true, but is that a path option or do i need a pattern? i havent reached 3 stars yet @weary vale

[shell gyro]

@urban venture ayyyyy very nice

[urban venture]

Thank u!!! ⚜️

@versed mural can I copy this?

[sacred falcon]

@versed mural thx

[weary vale]

@plucky nest its a path

[copper shard]

My current set up. I was thinking of trying to move all of the house to the back to have more room, but idk if that will be to cramped?

[plucky nest]

@weary vale oh ok, thanks

[willow walrus]

How’s my lucky set up lol

[shell gyro]

@copper shard I've got houses one block from each other and looks fine :)

[meager warren]

@willow walrus some western style/zen style stones would look great there!

[woven drift]

@copper shard not cramped at all as long as you do it right! mine are cramped but im going for a very cozy cottagecore neighbours feel

[uncut spindle]

@meager warren sorry I can't find a photo of it

[copper shard]

@shell gyro okay awesome! I'll give it a shot! Thank you :)

[woven drift]

i love the heart lake

[versed mural]

@polar dagger yeah, just put TM kaypee 😂

[woven drift]

ty!!

[shell gyro]

@copper shard no worries :)

[woven drift]

its alot better then most of them where its just like a small sideways one

[copper shard]

@woven drift that looks really good!

[woven drift]

and yours is like a island shaped as a heart

i like that one but i couldnt tie it into a big lake without it looking like something... hahah

m h m

so big heart it is

[willow walrus]

@meager warren YES! I am looking for a zen-style stone but no one is selling any

[weary vale]

Looking for feedback for my entrance, I feel like its still missing things

[meager warren]

@willow walrus I have both recipes happy to craft for you if you've got the mats! I may have a spare diy as well if you like

[polar dagger]

so big heart it is
@woven drift = yoda

[woven drift]

SKSKKS kinfirmed

that looks so nice!! the river is cute

and i like how its not as overwhelming as most enterances are

@weary vale move the garden lamps one over to put bushes!! if possible

[shell gyro]

@weary vale some lights maybe?

[versed mural]

@weary vale you need something tall, I feel like. Maybe trees

[uncut spindle]

@weary vale I would probably switch the garden lights for streetlights

[polar dagger]

@weary vale pick up the stick the we'll be good to go!👍

[gritty sentinel]

@weary vale Hyacinth lamps make everything look fancier

[copper shard]

One area I want to improve is this restaurant area. Any ideas on what else I could place here or how to improve the overall look?

[weary vale]

@woven drift I think I'd only be able to fit one bush on each side

[tawdry sierra]

I updated my airport entrance (:3 」∠)
@urban venture what fence is on the side? in the first pic

[weary vale]

Thanks everyone!!

[uncut spindle]

Ahhh I love it @copper shard maybe some bamboo items?

[woven drift]

@copper shard maybe customize the blue seats to be red

@weary vale hmmm true.. might still be cute tho! its up to you

[raven kindle]

Campside ideas please

[copper shard]

I have some bamboo dolls in the corners of the area just didnt fit in the shot lol @uncut spindle

[versed mural]

@copper shard I would customize more bamboo items to make them brown for this area

[uncut spindle]

@raven kindle what style of island are you going for?

[woven drift]

@copper shard maybe put some fancy plants nearby, like in real restaurants, or fish

[polar dagger]

We good now

[woven drift]

@raven kindle a youtuber names nintentalk has a really cool campsite that they show off in their videos!

sksksksk

[weary vale]

@polar dagger LOL thanks

[raven kindle]

@uncut spindle I want a natural campside

[tawdry sierra]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHGfN4K3Nis lots ofpaths in this video, would recommend (i did not make these btw)

[copper shard]

Okay! Let me customise some stuff and grab my available plants :)

[polar dagger]

@tawdry sierra damn.

[woven drift]

right now im killing every single cliff on my island

well, the third level. the second level can live

[polar dagger]

@woven drift why?

[wind wind]

I tried terraforming a little bit, do you guys like this?

[woven drift]

cayse its just a big mess

[uncut spindle]

@raven kindle you could put pine trees surrounding it, a little camping area next to the tent with stuff like the campfire and log stool, the campsite sign from Pocket Camp, log stakes, mushroom items

[woven drift]

@woven drift you brave soldier, i would not fix it after so i applaud ya

[verbal parcel]

would anyone be willing to come check out my island, give some ideas to what i could fill out my island with? i'm very confused about what to do rn :/

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift I did that too basically, now my island looks awful lol

[woven drift]

also might try to redo my river

@verbal parcel put pics in here for multiple opinions!!

my islands already terrible '

[verbal parcel]

just a pic of the entire map?

[polar dagger]

@wind wind that's beutiful (as long as there's no sticks )

[wind wind]

Thanks!

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift same haha I have so many huge areas of nothing

[woven drift]

@polar dagger can i hire you to get all my sticks off the ground,, theres so many sometimes

i need more space

[polar dagger]

@woven drift sure?

[woven drift]

i had to dig a hole in my cliff to make space for a band

[glossy flax]

Made a reading nook in front of Merengue’s house 🥰

[verbal parcel]

i cant get a good image of my map

[woven drift]

@polar dagger omg lolol;;; it was mostly a joke but sure,, let me add you just in case

[gritty sentinel]

@glossy flax super cute!

[woven drift]

thats so cute @glossy flax !!

[verbal parcel]

ohhh nvm

[polar dagger]

@woven drift yes it was all a joke but actually, sure

[rugged rain]

Omg I love it Morgan!

[safe needle]

someone has ideas for like a lil place on the island where you can put down items for your friends and they leave one if you know what i mean lulw

[verbal parcel]

this is it so far, need to fill out the dark green / top area - any ideas?

[uncut spindle]

@glossy flax so cuuute, I love the little accent pieces

[woven drift]

the top area would be good for like, either a foresty or a relaxing area

[uncut spindle]

@verbal parcel what island theme/style have you been going for?

[woven drift]

since the other parts look a bit busy and populated

@safe needle market stalls or market 'rugs' (custom designs) the rug idea would be like kings/queens day like in the netherlands (idk if youve ever heard of it but thats my prime example for it LOL

[verbal parcel]

i'm just trying not to make too many changes to the island, to make it non-man-made

right side is the residential area and the town in the front ofc

[safe needle]

@safe needle market stalls or market 'rugs' (custom designs) the rug idea would be like kings/queens day like in the netherlands (idk if youve ever heard of it but thats my prime example for it LOL
@woven drift idk what you mean tbh

[verbal parcel]

was thinking of making a big lake by the waterfall (north of my house)

[woven drift]

exactly, thats why a foresty or relaxing area would be good

[urban venture]

@tawdry sierra iron and stone fencing

[woven drift]

@verbal parcel i suggest leaving some space for if theres new shops after a while

[tawdry sierra]

@tawdry sierra iron and stone fencing
@urban venture thanks!

[verbal parcel]

yeah i'm gonna have those in the front as well

[uncut spindle]

@verbal parcel I think the right side with the pond could be a zen/bamboo area, then the area next to your campsite could be a pine tree forest with some little camping items around

[verbal parcel]

by the other shops

that sounds very cool @uncut spindle! i already have a little area by that little lake with some logs and such, zen area kinda

might just make a forest for the campsite and then an orchard somewhere

[woven drift]

@safe needle imagine a farmers market but the items are on blankets instead, kind of

[trail totem]

I think I’m going to redo the left side of my island is that a good idea?

[shell gyro]

Gonna put moon in middle and Cresent moons on other side but what lighting should I use?

[verbal parcel]

do we know about other shops? like, how many do you think there could be of new ones?

[last sentinel]

a little before and after glow up ✨

[woven drift]

i think kicks and leif might set up shop

@verbal parcel im expecting kicks and the dream suite

[granite comet]

Does anyone have that 3D terraforming planner website ? I can't seem to find it

[meager warren]

nova lights ! @shell gyro

[shell gyro]

@meager warren can't say I've heard of them haha

[verbal parcel]

okay... that gives me an idea to move my river a bit up to make more space for the town-area

thanks a lot folks :)

[woven drift]

almost done destroying my cliffs!!!!

[pseudo basin]

Anyone have a bait and tackle stand on their beach? Looking for ideas

[copper shard]

@pseudo basin not on my beach but I have one give me just one sec :)

[last sentinel]

@granite comet https://bobacupcake.itch.io/island-planner this ones nice not sure if its the specific one you are looking for

[woven drift]

done!

[granite comet]

This is it ! Thank you

[pulsar ginkgo]

Cube’s Club is in process of being built on my island if anyone is interested in coming to check it out.

Lots of other cool “restaurants” too.

DM me!

[copper shard]

@pseudo basin not on the beach but heres my bait area

[meager warren]

@shell gyro they can be customised to a bunch of colours too

[low mango]

Anyone got any good orchard layouts?

[blissful smelt]

This is what I settled on for Judy’s yard. Went and spent 30 NMT to get the nova lamp diy. I might change the color of the moon chair but I have to grab some bells to buy kits first

[unique pond]

@blissful smelt do you still have the qr code for that lovely diamond stone floor?

[blissful smelt]

Oh jeez I would have to hunt it down. I’m really bad at saving people’s codes and then regret it later on when I want to go back

[copper shard]

I can order more plants but which would look best? Also some variants of the red cushions thoughts?

[blissful smelt]

I’ll see if I can find it

[unique pond]

@blissful smelt ah no worries! if you can't find it... i will figure it out eventually haha

[low mango]

Anyone know any cute orchard ideas? 🍐

🍑

🍎

[versed mural]

@low mango I have a wild orchard and a neat one. It’s a problem though. Too much space lmao

[woven drift]

Is the side by the river like too cluttered?

woah

[versed mural]

@woven drift I like it

Clutter makes it look more inhabited

[real orchid]

Finally making a forest area after spending so much time building a city

[woven drift]

@versed mural ty 😁

@real orchid how do you get mush lamps? do you have to be in southern hemishpere?

[zealous mortar]

@woven drift oo i love the tropical feel!!

[past basin]

I’m keen to see your forest area @real orchid

[real orchid]

I have a friend whos in the southern hemi i ask them to craft for me haha

[zealous mortar]

amber you can get someone to craft you them/buy one or a few

[woven drift]

oh

[copper shard]

Thinking Brown cypress plants and the left most cushion design, but how many plants do you think I should put in the restaurant and where?

@woven drift I can make you some mush lamps

[zealous mortar]

check out #materials-and-tools and #player-services @woven drift

[real orchid]

Ill share again once it s finished haha might take awhile

[versed mural]

@copper shard

I would use those

[woven drift]

@copper shard if you could craft me some i could give you like 4 nmt is that ok??

[copper shard]

@versed mural where should I put the smaller plants? In your opinion

[willow walrus]

Which fence do you think is best for cookie ?

[meager warren]

finally got the mush lamp diy so I could finish my forest!!

[regal adder]

My take on the McGibbon style entrance 🙂

[late summit]

hey guys! so I accidentally over-terraformed my island and recently decided I hate it now 😦 does anyone have any tips or inspiration for how I can get it back to having a natural feel?

[unique pond]

@regal adder omg! i'm sure he would be proud!

[short ridge]

had a dead end behind my shops and ended up squishing my campsite there lol who else struggles with dead ends?!?

[versed mural]

where should I put the smaller plants? In your opinion
@copper shard on stone stools!

[gritty sentinel]

@late summit depends how much terraforming you want to do. If I was in your position I'd probably try to make the map resemble the initial layout, or close, and then kind of build it back up from there, working around the natural features

Or copy another starting layout that you liked, and do the same thing

[late summit]

@gritty sentinel I didn’t even think of doing that, that’s a great idea! I was overwhelmed bc I didn’t know where to start but I like that, thanks 🙂

[versed mural]

@short ridge I love this!!!

[copper shard]

@versed mural but I don't have any stone stools in this area :(

[versed mural]

Add some?

I freaking love plants. So I think they look good anywhere honestly

[fiery iris]

didnt realise there were that many fences

[gritty sentinel]

@late summit good luck! And work in small sections when you're ready to start up again. I try to do maybe one major thing every day or two, and then leave it for a bit to see if I like it or not. Sometimes stepping away is the most useful thing.

[woven drift]

@worldly sequoia vodka bottles and blood to make it realistic

[crude elbow]

omg just visited @velvet swallow and her island is so beautiful!!
if u get the chance to visit do it lmao i spent so much time here. omg she has so much to go explore!!

[blissful smelt]

@unique pond CC for the diamond paths.

[short ridge]

@versed mural what about wood stools or a barrel? Or an ironwood low table? I think it looks cool on the ground though!

[velvet swallow]

Omg 💕💕💕

[woven drift]

Hey, deciding to stop the urban look of my island and go for a more laid back italian island, anyone have that theme that i can explore?

My entrance 😁 😁

[merry anchor]

Cool

[woven drift]

Anyone got any tips for creating more space? I'm starting to worry about running out of room on my island. Any tips for working around houses & buildings?

[trail totem]

Any tips for redoing the island?

[velvet swallow]

Did u chop all ur trees first?

[blissful smelt]

I’m jealous of all the people who thought to make neat entry ways. At this point there’s no easy way for me to rearrange my houses so I don’t have space to do any cool terraforming off my airport area

[short ridge]

@woven drift that looks amazing!!! Love the paths ❤️

[unique pond]

@blissful smelt eh, you could put the houses on the beach first. that'ss what i'd do!

[woven drift]

Sherb likes my new park even on rainy days 😋

[barren karma]

how can i make this park/playground cute,,,
should i make it the full size of the area? and should i keep using terracotta

[verbal parcel]

tried removing / relocating a river, but there's 1 square of water i can't remove??? anyone know why this happens

[gritty sentinel]

@verbal parcel what happens when you try to fill it in?

And can you send a pic of the area?

[verbal parcel]

when i try to my character just swings the shovel thing over it

[versed mural]

what about wood stools or a barrel? Or an ironwood low table? I think it looks cool on the ground though!
@short ridge I agree with this, yes. But to keep the Asian/zen vibe they have, I suggested stone

[verbal parcel]

hold on

[uncut spindle]

@woven drift how'd you get those star fragment trees?? Hacks/save editors or?

[opal bramble]

I rearranged all the houses and now I have a lot of open space at the very top of my island. Anyone have some ideas on what I could put there?

[gritty sentinel]

@uncut spindle those are definitely hacked in

[past field]

Mushroom island in progress

[uncut spindle]

@opal bramble you could put a mushroom forest there

[vital schooner]

@woven driftHow did you get stars in those trees

[uncut spindle]

@gritty sentinel I thought so, ty

[verbal parcel]

im standing to the left of the spot - it's only 1 block

[sacred bramble]

A mushroom forest would be really cool!!

[uncut spindle]

@vital schooner I literally just asked that too haha it was just hacks

[gritty sentinel]

@vital schooner they're hacked. And they don't regrow if you shake them!

[opal bramble]

How would I do a mushroom forest?

[gritty sentinel]

@verbal parcel I meant like an in-game pic, so we can see the surrounding area better

[verbal parcel]

oh right

[uncut spindle]

@opal bramble you can use the mushroom DIYs! If you're in Southern hemisphere they're available right now, otherwise you have to wait until November

[opal bramble]

I’m in northern

[uncut spindle]

RIP

[storm urchin]

hey! willing to pay someone for helping me with terraforming my island in bells or nmt. mostly need help with rivers and waterfalls. If you’re up for it, please drop me a dm. thanks! <33

[verbal parcel]

literally just this

cannot fill it in

[gritty sentinel]

Is there a transparent pattern nearby? Or did you do the spinning item dupe in the area at all?

[verbal parcel]

transparent pattern?

[gritty sentinel]

Like custom design on the ground

[verbal parcel]

oh

well the bricks there are, the ones at the bottom

could try and remove them

[storm urchin]

any cottagecore entrance ideas? please post them with my @

[gritty sentinel]

They shouldnt be close enough to be causing issues in that spot.. hm..

[unique pond]

@storm urchin why do you keep sending this message my dear? nobody can help you unless they physically take your switch from you :/

[storm urchin]

@unique pond bruh i know.. there is a way calm down LMAO

[gritty sentinel]

@verbal parcel it might be a glitch. Try turning the area back into water, and then refilling it

[verbal parcel]

yeah ill try that

i thought so too

[unique pond]

@storm urchin okay cool!

[frosty spruce]

@storm urchin mine is fairycore but it might give you some ideas!

[gritty sentinel]

@storm urchin people are annoyed because you spam the same message in this channel over multiple days, and it isn't the place to do it

[fiery iris]

what does adding "core" to the end of a word do even?

[storm urchin]

@gritty sentinel ok well first time i said it today so quiet down

[gritty sentinel]

@verbal parcel let me know if that works btw!

[frosty spruce]

it’s the core theme of your island @fiery iris

[unique pond]

@fiery iris i feel the exact same way lol... apparently it just means... a theme

[edgy dragon]

my island is ugly asf

[verbal parcel]

i feel you macaroni penguin

[wispy cairn]

@storm urchin This channel is for advice only, if you're looking for someone to completely walk you through terraforming for a fee, try #690093605821480980

people are insanely good at this and meanwhile my island just looks derpy as hell

[edgy dragon]

same, i tried making a park and its trash

[verbal parcel]

i need to make one too and im dreading it

[gritty sentinel]

@storm urchin yeah, first time today that you've posted the same message you've been told many times does not belong here. Maybe.... don't?

[glossy flax]

Here’s a daytime pic of my reading nook!

[storm urchin]

@gritty sentinel okay i stopped don't be so rude like how about closing your mouth if you know how to do that

[tender frigate]

@frosty spruce what are those lamps called? your entrance is awesome btw

[wind wind]

Looks amazing @glossy flax

[wispy cairn]

Please be nice to each other

[storm urchin]

well they started it so

[wispy cairn]

Doesn't mean you need to escalate😅 Please drop it now

[frosty spruce]

they’re mush lamps and tree’s bounty lamps! @tender frigate

[storm urchin]

ok then tell them to also stop! :)) thanks

[tender frigate]

@frosty spruce tysm!

[verbal parcel]

@gritty sentinel hey it worked, got the water away now

[granite comet]

I finally have my astrological wheel ! Now time to decorate around it 🥰

[unique pond]

@granite comet omg this is so creative!! i love the magic circle below the moonn

[granite comet]

it sucks because two of the zodiac item need to be on a wall so they're not all there but still, i freaking love it

[gritty sentinel]

@verbal parcel yay, glad to hear it! credit to the smort folks glitch channel , haha

[verbal parcel]

haha of course :)

[scarlet current]

Can I see some terraformed double south maps

[wind wind]

Someone posted a really, really good one here earlier

Let me see if I can find it

[scarlet current]

Thanks!

[alpine locust]

does anyone know what to do after the entrance lmao

[naive jay]

Hey guys, need some inspiration for my nook shop.. Can you show me yours? :)

[frosty spruce]

cafe vibes

terrible picture but this is what my nook’s looks like from below @naive jay

[wind wind]

Ah, here it is! This map was designed by Lily @scarlet current https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/681277827244621855/710840148396605440/unknown.png

I hope she doesn't mind me sending it to you, but I absolutely loved it

Outdoor concert!
DM me if you wanna visit

[thin tartan]

@lilac plinth the camera is a great touch

[lilac plinth]

Thanks!!

[woven drift]

@vital schooner @uncut spindle Works like camos items, they are bell tree with the value for bells bags replaced with star fragments

[scarlet current]

How is it possible to design like that wtf that's too good

[warm dew]

Man that double south looks incredible. Having such a hard time with mine

[scarlet current]

Same

[unique pond]

it flows so nicely... i could cry just looking at it

[scarlet current]

I should have done the rivers before I started placing things

[lilac plinth]

I wanna add fossil displays outside of my museum. Anyone have nice pics of their museum I can use for inspiration? 😄

[glacial shoal]

I love how the river looks, just looks so natural

[scarlet current]

Mines just a straight line so far ffs

[frosty spruce]

here’s my before and after map.. one of the few things i’m proud of 🤭

[glacial shoal]

Same @polar dagger

[errant swift]

My island map looks so ugly because of my theme...

[wary sandal]

@frosty spruce so gorgeous!!!! I love that so much

[scarlet current]

My map looks worse but idc about it anymore

[warm dew]

@frosty spruce are you planning to ignore those water outlets? Debating if I should just leave them with nothing but idk

[glacial shoal]

What websites are there for, like, pre designing an island?

[warm dew]

@errant swift whats the theme? Looks pretty good to me

[young pivot]

I’m struggling so hard with map planning. Give me inspirations 😭

[fluid geyser]

@glacial shoal happy island designer

[abstract sun]

Does anyone have any tips on how to make your island look bigger the what it actually is?

[frosty spruce]

@warm dew i personally SUCK at making regular sized rivers from scratch so i stuck to skinny rivers and left my inlets closed, i started my island by flattening it

[scarlet current]

At this point I would pay someone to come to my island. See what I'm going for. And for them to design me a map lol

[errant swift]

My theme is like a semi urban where i use lots of stone @warm dew

[wind wind]

@abstract sun Segment the map into smaller areas using terraforming, so there's always something to look at

[polar dagger]

I'm Hosting an all out Island tour of "Shrek Land" with your host "@villager with special presents and lots of inspiration! My code is G6NCV so be sure to get in early!

@abstract sun i split my island into two pieces, and designed both of them in their own way but with the same theme and it makes my island feel a lot bigger, cuz you tour half of it and you feel like you saw a whole island already but you haven’t seen half

[abstract sun]

@wind wind so like different layers?

[warm dew]

@fringe patrol Store could look nice to the right of Resident services

[wind wind]

Yea, layers, pathing, water, etc.

[frosty spruce]

should i add floor lights? or nova lights or nothing (i’m putting stuff on the tables so ignore the emptiness)

[abstract sun]

Is that too big of a residential area?

[coarse briar]

I feel so frustrated doing the layout for my island..... Wanted to give up so many times. Need some inspiration...

[wind wind]

Nope, looks fine to me

[unique pond]

@frosty spruce maybe bamboo floor lights in the same shade?

[edgy citrus]

what do i do here it looks so awkward w the edge just hanging off like that but idk if i should put a fence or extend the land

[short ridge]

@frosty spruce what about a floor lantern?? Looks so pretty...

[frosty spruce]

oh good idea! @short ridge i never thought of that

[versed wadi]

Right dream team… I've built some ruins and I need decoration ideas 🙂

[unique pond]

@versed wadi simple well!

[warm dew]

@edgy citrus maybe a custom design sign that fits with what ever is going to be in that area. Your house could have a “Keep out” sign or a sign to direct visitors as to where to go

[abstract sun]

@versed wadi fossils and statues!

[forest creek]

@versed wadi what era are these ruins?

[versed wadi]

Medieval

two mins I'll post a screenshot

[errant swift]

Does anybody in here want to pay me a visit and give advice?

[edgy citrus]

has anyone redesigned their entire island? if so, how was the whole experience

[wind wind]

Yes, twice. After each redesign, I got a better idea of what I wanted, and learned from my mistakes

[short ridge]

@edgy citrus multiple times. I enjoy terraforming so it was fine but took a lonnnng time 😂

[frosty spruce]

@edgy citrus i did! i had something, and hated it so i decided to flatten it out and restart, here’s my before ( before the first design ) and after (after the second)

[warm dew]

@edgy citrus as in destroy the whole island and start from scratch? I have, it gives you lots of freedom but the terraforming is a pain. Eventually you get lots of ideas flowing and have a better understanding of building land and rivers

[frosty spruce]

you definitely get better at terraforming everything by hand the more you do it! it’s really not too hard

[unreal seal]

Does anyone have any idea how to improve this area? It just seems so grid like and I want to break that up but I’m not sure how

[unique pond]

@edgy citrus honestly i never finished it once, but i was always 50-70% through before i restarted. because of poor space planning, i always had trouble figuring out the final bit, and found out i needed to move too many things, or the flow just didn't work.

[nocturne crane]

Hey does anyone have some good micro environment ideas? I need some new unique ideas bc im lacking some inspiration rn.

[unique pond]

@unreal seal i'm currently working on something like this too! i put more things in between the rows, and staggered them so they didn't all end at the same place. but my rows are vertical and i cut a diagonal path through it.

[primal ginkgo]

@unreal seal Id try to add some trees/bushes and round the area out more if you want a more natural feel

[frosty spruce]

this is in the top left corner i had no idea what to do but i had an incline left and saw some cool stuff on twitter and decided to do something like this (the pool is top right just after the first pic) @nocturne crane

[unreal seal]

Such great ideas! Thank you!! @unique pond @primal ginkgo

[foggy dock]

Does anyone have ideas for a garden area? I just got terraforming and want to start improving my island. I want to make an area to breed flower and have it look nice still

[primal ginkgo]

@foggy dock Mine is small but it works!

[foggy dock]

Thank you!

[frosty spruce]

also some examples of what i did with a small piece of land

[polar dagger]

@foggy dock check Austin John plays on youtube he has a good flower breeding area and he's funny

[edgy citrus]

thanks all for the advice!i# i think ill try redesigning even tho it'll be a pain

[clever creek]

If anyone can help me design the 3 tier residential area please dm! Blank canvas and using happy island designer 💕

[frosty spruce]

@edgy citrus if you don’t want to overwhelm yourself do corner by corner!

[nocturne crane]

@frosty spruce I love those bookshelves sm!! I wish I had some 😂

[agile girder]

i could not decide on a single aesthetic and did absolutely no planning so here’s how it came out

[slate patio]

Anyone have any ideas as to what I should add to this area to make it look... not garbage-y?

[fiery iris]

i can not read the majority of text on that map

only the blue

[unique pond]

@slate patio personally i would do a few bushes/flowers around it!

[agile girder]

@slate patio keep adding furniture maybe some potted plants too until you’re satisfied

[frosty spruce]

@fiery iris rustic, chill, and city/suburbs

[young pivot]

Anyone have pictures of their entrance? I need inspiration - creator block.

[fiery iris]

ahhh ok

[versed wadi]

Ruins in Progress

[unique pond]

@versed wadi SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! OMG!!! throw in a bonfire!

[frosty spruce]

@young pivot

[errant swift]

What should i do here? Its the area in front of my house and i already have a diy and a sculpture area

[sand elk]

Can anyone help me place my flowers? I have no idea how to make them look good I have a red and white theme going on but that’s as far as I gotten. Any help is appreciated!!

[raven kindle]

Can anyone send your campside area?

[teal ermine]

@young pivot

[frosty spruce]

@teal ermine you have one of the most interesting RS location

[teal ermine]

yeahhh

[errant swift]

Heres my campsite

[teal ermine]

it kinda sucks my rs not the image above

[frosty spruce]

i like how you used it though

[quick wind]

What do you guys do you diagonal paths?

[teal ermine]

i need to figure out what to do with it. there’s not much space because it’s so close to the beach

i usually make circles with the paths when i do diagonal

[young pivot]

I second that @quick wind ! How? I tried and it just looks crappy

[frosty spruce]

i do my pathing sporadic @quick wind

[rugged rain]

Does anyone have ideas for around an in-line on the second floor?

[frosty spruce]

parts of my island takes hours just doing pathing

[rugged rain]

Or 1st floor actually

[frosty spruce]

incline? @rugged rain

[rugged rain]

Haha yess my autocorrect doesn’t know that word I guess :p

[teal ermine]

i just put cliffs around my inclines so it looks like it’s tucked into the cliff

[frosty spruce]

hahah you’re good, here are the only pics i have of my inclines 😬

[teal ermine]

nintendo gives me 8 measly inclines when i need like 20

[rugged rain]

I was thinking the same with the cliffs but I can’t really find out how I want it

[frosty spruce]

old pic but i have this too

[torn wagon]

I build my house in a hill made the surroundings appear like castle ruins, one of my favorite projects! 😊

[frosty spruce]

ah very nice! @torn wagon

[teal ermine]

wow that looks good

[unique pond]

@torn wagon epic!

[rugged rain]

Cool!

[torn wagon]

Awww thank you all! ❤️

[dusk crag]

Anyone have a close/tight neighborhood? I liked it at first but it’s been a week and now I hate it.

[frozen swift]

Incline question that I couldn't find in pinned: So I'm relocating the museum to the highest level, and there is only one space behind and in front of the museum before the cliffs. is that enough for the incline?

[rugged rain]

So what to do with corners? Far left, second floor

[teal ermine]

@dusk crag i think it looks cute and the colors coordinate well

[unique pond]

@dusk crag it looks very good, trust me! if you want to change the look i would suggest changing the fence. somehow that lattice fence in long lines don't look very good after staring at it awhile

[opal bramble]

Redd area ideas?

[teal ermine]

@frozen swift an incline is 4x2, the 4th space being on top of the cliff

[frozen swift]

@frozen swift an incline is 4x2, the 4th space being on top of the cliff
@teal ermine Thank you!

[peak abyss]

@dusk crag i have clusters. Like neighbordhoods of 3-2-2-3-1

[teal ermine]

i have one neighborhood of 3 but they’re organized vertically

[dusk crag]

@teal ermine thank you

[velvet swallow]

U should use the corral fencing

[teal ermine]

the simple wooden fence would look nice too

[mild roost]

Show me your library/cafes???

[dusk crag]

@unique pond yeah i was thinking the same thing. Maybe switching up once in a while is better.

[gray saddle]

Anybody got any shopping district pics?

[junior burrow]

Working on my library! There will be tables and chairs on the top left!! What do you think - I love it!

[mild roost]

Love it!!!!

[true escarp]

This game always has something to do lol make island destroy island repeat

[teal ermine]

i wish i had the courage to put indoor things outside but i’m so literal and it defies all logic

[mild roost]

Same bella

[unique pond]

@dusk crag mcgibbon gave me really good advice the other day - don't use fencing in such long stretches, break it up with bushes/other stuff (maybe lights)? so that it looks more natural

[teal ermine]

yes ^^^ i love doing that with my fences

combining hedge fences with other fences looks really nice too

my neighborhood has a mix of hedge and country fences

[velvet swallow]

Oh I was going to say that but with way more words and not make any sense

[teal ermine]

mood

[terse terrace]

@teal ermine I'm thinking exactly that. how it's weird to put books and stuff outside. it's so windy and turbulent on my island rn that I can barely hear the music

[idle ivy]

anyone with more ideas for my mom’s garden? i want to make it the best for her!

[unique pond]

i wish i had the courage to put indoor things outside but i’m so literal and it defies all logic
@teal ermine same!! it looks so nice on other people's island but when i consider doing it on mine... nopeeee

[teal ermine]

lol like i also think it looks weird, like the walls/fences aren’t that tall and also i can see the sky

[velvet swallow]

I should take some cool pics of my shopping area

[terse terrace]

that's why I'm using the fourth layer cliffs. it's to block out the sky lolol

[teal ermine]

smart

[marsh forge]

@woven drift dumb and late question, but are those star fragments in your trees? that's so cool!

[velvet swallow]

Idk if it’s possible to take a good pic of it tbh

[dusky wave]

guys does anyone have any inspiration pics or ideas on how to decorate the area surrounding the plaza & museum?!

[versed wadi]

Yeah building up behind areas you want to take pictures of is #1 tip to get better screenshots

[teal ermine]

how the fuck do you get a star tree??????

[velvet swallow]

Omg that I can do

[versed wadi]

Small people at the front, big at the back!

[magic cypress]

how’s my entrance?

[teal ermine]

omg cute

[unique pond]

how the fuck do you get a star tree??????
@teal ermine what is this?

[summer pollen]

Any tips on how to make my square river look more natural?

[teal ermine]

@unique pond look up messages from Biimu

@summer pollen curve it more, add little irregularities where it’s straight

[dusky wave]

guys does anyone have any inspiration pics or ideas on how to decorate the area surrounding the plaza & museum?!

[marsh forge]

Someone had trees with zodiac fraents it looked like

[unique pond]

@teal ermine OH MY GOD THAT'S BEAUTIFUL

[marsh forge]

Fragments*

[versed wadi]

@woven drift Hello! Have you got through tutorial week yet? 🙂

[teal ermine]

like how.... how

[marsh forge]

No clue but I will die chasing down the secrets

[unique pond]

i guess we all know how now.. but this is genius!!!

it's the bell tree trick, just put star frags inside instead

[velvet swallow]

Omg star trees

[marsh forge]

Omg

[velvet swallow]

Perf

[marsh forge]

I'm gonna scream that's so cool

[versed wadi]

Wait! What?

[unique pond]

tbh i saw it done with gold nuggets too, but wasn't impressed so just dismissed it

[teal ermine]

i didn’t even know those existed

and i couldn’t find anything when i googled it

[unique pond]

GUYS THIS IS A MEGA BREAKTHROUGH HAHA. we are all flipping

[woven drift]

wait what😤

[marsh forge]

Wait so

You can just put anything in the bell tree hole

This is revolutionary

[teal ermine]

amazing

[midnight heart]

Wait excuse me?

[teal ermine]

i’ll try it with normal frags today

[west summit]

Guys those trees are hacked. Don’t recommend buying them from people

[unique pond]

@marsh forge doubt it works with furniture?

[midnight heart]

Oh

[teal ermine]

oop-

[woven drift]

why not lmao

[marsh forge]

Saddest violin music

[unique pond]

@west summit ohhhh.... no....... 😦

[teal ermine]

yeah they did put it in #691857408271712296

[midnight heart]

Damn ok I figured

[fiery iris]

imagine a piano tree

[wispy wolf]

hey y’all :0
I was curious as to what rivers/ponds we need?

A cliff top river? Ground level pond? And a cliff top pond? 🤔

[marsh forge]

Omg

[woven drift]

where did you guys see star trees?

[errant swift]

Does anybody want to give advice to my island and maybe make me a map ill pay u bells if u want...

[unique pond]

@fiery iris would just be the furniture leaf symbols i think? haha

[teal ermine]

@woven drift look up messages from Biimu

[marsh forge]

If you look up Biimu had pictures

Yea

[velvet swallow]

My yard xd

[timid kernel]

@woven drift my RS and Museum are both upgrading today! i got like another week probably before i can terraform.. 😦 you are so close

[unique pond]

hacked or no, it's a great idea

[marsh forge]

It's beautiful

[eager holly]

where did you guys see star trees?
@woven drift i have a feeling that if you bury a star fragment, it'll become a star tree ???

[midnight heart]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/681277827244621855/710870166556114974/2020051515153700-02CB906EA538A35643C1E1484C4B947D.jpg

This picture right here

[fiery iris]

why did your link work smh

[raven kindle]

Send some campside ideas please

[sleek isle]

I seriously need ideas on where to put my villager houses. Hated how it turned out

[dry night]

If you have a tight neighborhood layout, how did you do it? did you have to move houses separately by tom nooks construction counter?

[terse terrace]

ngl the star trees look weird. the stars are tiny compared to the tree. its unnatural

not worth getting that as a hacked item

[midnight heart]

I love them, I wish they were real

[errant swift]

Honestly my campsite is one of the only areas i like...

[long rose]

Anyone have ideas how I can decorate my shopping center

[woven drift]

what can i do to spice this place up?🙃

[timid kernel]

@woven drift no problem man, we all play the game diff and i can understand (a little more so than maybe some others considering i restarted after having like 400+ hours into the game, twice)

[dusk crag]

@dry night yes I moved my one at a time. All the bells it cost me I didn’t even do turnips then.

[normal elm]

Is there anything I should add to this ??

[errant swift]

@woven drift tombstones. I associate that fence with cemetaries personally

[junior burrow]

what can i do to spice this place up?🙃
@woven drift to spice it up, - give me the NMTs and bells, and it will look cleaner! 😂

[dry night]

wow ok that’s crazy! how did you get enough bells for everything?? @dusk crag

[unique ice]

We finished!

[terse terrace]

@woven drift tbh it's near damn impossible to make complex terraforming without tting

having to move the houses back and forth and break and build bridges and inclines. zzzzz

[timid kernel]

@woven drift i hear that it'll be fun 🙂

[velvet swallow]

This is a horrible pic of my museum:(

But I can’t fit everything in a pic idk ur boi brain iq 2 smol

[woven drift]

@woven drift what is tutorial week?

[versed wadi]

New Switch arrives tomorrow. new island, new possibilites 🙂

[terse terrace]

LOL yea. having to wait weeks for everything to settle in. I feel you. I restarted my island once

[dusk crag]

@dry night lots of tarantula hunting. After 5 houses I ran out of bells then I start turnips and my life was changed forever lol

[terse terrace]

you're getting another switch just for ac? @versed wadi

[unique pond]

@versed wadi living his best life, wtf hahahah

[woven drift]

mannn progress progress

[versed wadi]

My switch is battered anyway. And i really wanted the AC one. It's so pretty!

[terse terrace]

oh so lucky

really sucks how it's one island per switch. Nintendo really got us

[dusk crag]

@woven drift soo cute!! This makes me want to scatter the houses out more.

[bitter silo]

@woven drift looks nice. whose house is that?

[versed wadi]

Such a low cost per hour of entertainment on AC though!

[peak abyss]

Easiest way to get ss off the switch

[terse terrace]

yea 365 hours and counting lmfao

[woven drift]

thank you!! and @bitter silo its ketchups house

[bitter silo]

cool

[sudden spear]

I went from this to all the way to

[versed wadi]

10p per hour 🙂

[bitter silo]

its nice but a little uneven

[versed wadi]

I went from this to all the way to
@sudden spear Great before and after.

[woven drift]

@rocky wave looks like it's coming along nicely so far! i think you need to think about how to deal with your water. maybe do a waterfall on the left? and a lake on the right?

[rocky wave]

I'll will sure try

[humble echo]

Are u doing natural island, urban, or mix
