Bruh I contemplated giving my villagers space or not and went with no space at first, then space, then no space again and I'm just like bitch decide already smh😤
chonky paths are my lifeline
no no, 2 tile paths are better tbh
screw those one stud paths
@round compass Do you have any pot plants?
Mine are 4 and 3 wide for the most part
Not very many @versed wadi
look at all them 2 tile pathsssss
I can give you some
potted plants are epic
You sure
my paths range from 2 to 3 tile cause im unpredictable like that
1 tile ftw
I use custom paths so from the map it looks like its bland lmao
make ur cafe look nice with potted plant
Oooo I mike that
Can someone please send some inspo for zen garden, night market, as well as ideas for what to do with the jail bars? I got the diy but don't know what to do with them >< please & ty !
bushes are nice too
Let me just go find a monstera and then you can come and get one of each
I’m tryna got it into a more nature feel yenno
Hedge fence is my best friend
Hi I need some advice, I am decorating my villagers lawns with their themes(astral for Julian, woodland for beau, tropical for Audie) but I’m stuck on marinas house, here’s her lawn and house. What should I put in the lawns? Ignore the tree
Okie
@soft girder here's my night market in day
@glacial pier small kiddie pool? Pink one
I always think that my island looks good. Then i just come here and.. nope.
same
@soft girder I used the bars to box in my wife’s house when I caught her stealing furniture from villagers’ yards
Ugh
@distant moat same!
@patent sky what theme is your island
im all like "my islands coming together!" then I come over here and just redecorate it all
@forest creek yeah I was thinking that, I wish there were more pink/cute stuff for outdoors
this really looks garbage compared to everyone else's
@patent sky OMG THAT LOOKS AMAZING !!
@subtle idol better than mine
@heady hemlock LOLomg
@round compass my theme is lulu
I need entrance ideas
My theme is bad
my whole theme is foresty and white-
I need to work on my island's entrance. I have no idea tho lol
I added a graveyard in my entrance
lol
very hilly tho because I love hills
@glacial pier or a flamingo??
So they know who they dealing with
Why dont custom paths show up in maps i stg
Cause they aren't ingame paths
I feel that
I got rid of 90% of my cliffs and got rid of most of my rivers too
@soft girder
i have this big land but i want to add something to it (ive got even bigger than the photo), what should i do please dm ❤️
Mine kinda looks bland if you look at the map.
How does everyone have so much furniture. Like my island is gonna be so fresh one I get all da furniture
I use the regular dirt path and place my custom path ontop so it just looks chonky on the map
@versed wadi thanks !!
@round compass I don't
@hazy rose Park, cafe, hiking trail, graveyard, occult summoning grounds, rest area, garden, amusement park, casino, arcade, headquarters of the nook cartel, library, scammer jail, restaurant, altar to meme turtle
@patent skylmao some of those ideas
@patent sky tysm
Altar to meme turtle😭
Who is meme turtle
My villager Benjamin is based upon Hachikō . The Japanese dog that waited everyday at the train station for his owner who was a professor .
One day his owner got really sick and passed away but Benjamin didn’t know. For many years he waited at the same train station until he passed away of a broken heart 🥺. I created a train station outside Benjamin’s house as a memorial 💕💕
hiii!!! i saw some ppl in here earlier feeling discouraged because their res services is right on top of their airport which bummed me, so i wanted to share my "entrance"! my rs is six tiles away from my airport dock but i kinda like it bcos when ppl come over to play or trade it's v easy to navigate? also it means that i have more space elsewhere to do stuff with!! my native fruit is peaches and i love the color pink so!! those bushes are white azaleas. bonus shot of my son chief singing in the square (n me blinking!! typical!!)!! i just wanted to share, i hope this gives someone some ideas!!!! 🥰🥰
Love it Kelsey!
@glossy blade that reminds me of a very similar idea, it's this movie called Red Dog where the dog is told to wait outside it's house then it's owner dies and the dog doesn't know and waits forever 😢
Stop with the sad shit NOW😤🥺🥺
I think the dog eventually goes out looking for it's owner... And then he never finds him
I know :(
Yall ima cry I stg
its 2 in the morning, I dont need to be sad 
Fair enough
This is a cute animal game please no more sad story's of dogs dieing alone
@glossy blade i heard about that story and its so heartbreaking, great tribute
Thank you 😊
@glossy blade is it a true story?
Recommend maybe adding a dog statue like the one that was made to commemorate him in (i think) shibuya station
@uncut spindle yup true story
Oh my god 😭
Its a true story yea, you should go read about it, the dog is a legend
Ok someone change the subject pls I'm gonna cry
I would love to add a dog statue. Where can I find one?
the stupid "I baked you a pie" song got stuck in my head rn im gonna scream
ummm cottagecore is cool
Umm i believe theres a diy recipe for a dog statue
😱
I don’t think there’s a dog statue, but there’s a lion-dog statue that could work
Yea thats what i mean
I swear im trying to mourn the dog and my heads like "oh boy what flavor"
I recommend tryna find that diy
Here’s what I came up with for my super close resident services entrance, Thoughts?
Wow thats my exact rs
sorry for the light glare on the screen in the pic
I think you have the same map as i do
Close enough 😂
I might haha
Pretty good for that distance
Awww you guys are amazing help. Thank you
couldn't make anything grand in the small space so I went for something simpleish
I made mine a waterfall jumpy thing entrance so it looked symmetrical cuz the 1 tile offcenter bothered me so much
can you guys send pictures of your 3 tiered neighbourhoods? i’m not sure what to do with the spacing and stuff
@severe cosmos that looks so cool
Ty :D
Does anyone have any greenhouse inspo? Trying to set something up for Fauna cause I finally got her 🥺
@stark ploveri think this is what you mean?
@stark plover like this?
@forest creek like the 3 levels
Your island maps are so cool ;-;
Like cliff levels?
@toxic monolith yes like that tyy
Mine is on three different levels, 2-4-4
Im gonna make a 3 tiered neighborhood eventually but i gotta move 9 more houses aaaa
Np! 💕
so i almost stayed up till 5am last night... but i think my lavender farm is complete! anything i should add?
(disclaimer: not my original idea, i copied poppypier from twitter)
@forest creek yeah
And then move them back once im done terraforming eeeeee
It’s a lot of work and a lot of $$ JJ 😭
my villager houses are just gonna be scattered across the map, I kinda wish I did a neighborhood
It is, it is
Started a walk way to my library area today.
i have 2 neighborhoods. thoughts?
I clumped all my houses together so I could watch for the DIY recipes 👀
I have little groups of houses around the place
Ahhh I just got rid of my entrance and now I’m kinda lost. Can someone maybe give me some pointers?
I have 2 sets of 2 houses, and one house thats just on their own. The rest I havent decided yet
@crisp thorn
Really depends on what kinda theme you’re going for
Why is Sylvias poster blue @subtle idol
lighting
Thats so confusing but okay
@crisp thorn depends on the theme or scale you want
plot twist sylvia is the kangaroo behind the slaughter
Can someone help me design my island
@subtle idol lmaooo
@forest creek well I’ve basically picked up everything on my island to redo like twice and I can’t come up with a theme I want. The only two I actually know r like urban and natural. Any suggestions?
@crisp thornuhh well this is my entrance rn
First pic is right off the airport
Omg that looks so good
A week ago none of that stuff existed haha
Same! @toxic monolith
Also can I see ur like resident services area? That’s always been a struggle for me, making like a good looking path to it
@crisp thorn use brick
Dont have a picture of it sadly
thoughts on the new campsite? 🌿🌺
@woven driftadorable!
Wdym use brick?
I‘m gonna turn the central part of my island into 3 little islands (like in Dr. Stone lol), do you think that may turn out good with the space I have left in the middle?
My residential service area is not quite renovated yet :L
Having to work with that giant brick thing in front of the building SUCKS
@woven drift did u use that brick path for your main areas as well?
@woven drift lovely 🥺
@subtle idol i have 2 neighborhoods too!
My wife just took one look at my island and figured out what to put in my two unfinished areas. 🙂
@woven drift no, my main areas actually have the regular brick (:
There’s a reason I married her!
2 neighborhoods have the epic
Let's see your orchards! Mine is not practical need some inspiration.
@woven drift ah ok thank u! it’s so beautiful
@woven drift looks dope!
BLESS your wife
@woven drift I love it! there's so much stuff you put that compliments the outdoorsy look
@subtle idol i’m redoing parts of my island is the map isn’t up-to-date but i liked the idea of my villagers having big yards lol
@versed wadi my mom helps me
gibbs why doesn't your wife have a character on your island
you could be cute farming couple on pipwyn
my villagers have small yards haha
Today i'm going to annoy my dad until he helps me design my island
PFFT
Or maybe once he gets home
@grim cosmos we’re currently locked in a house together
I need somewhere to escape sometimes
She lives on our daughters island and basically does al the grunt work for her.
aaawwww 😭
My switch is steaming rn
that's precious
WOO OARFISH
does she have a natural island as well
Hi, my RS is very near the airport. Can anyone share their entrance for inspiration please? 🥺 I’m just started with terraforming and I’m very overwhelmed! Any suggestions or sharing are much appreciated.
Little one thinks that blathers comes out every night to collect all the stuff she drops in front of the museum. But wife has to go in and sort through it all every night when she’s gone to bed. Lol
haha
I asked her why she doesn’t take it inside, she said “Blathers doesn’t shut up!”
Which side do y’all think looks better? Going to mirror them once i decide lmao
I like the left better
i like when blathers rambles tho
I like the left, but only because I'd be scared to fall off the right ;-;
lmao I’m probably gonna put a fence along the edge
But thanks for yalls input I was leaning towards left too
anchovy, new catch
Did some work on Zucker’s restaurant today, I want to add more potted plants and fix up the entrance next. also considering replacing the wood floor with a custom floor, but I can’t decide on one
ZUCKER'S RESTARAUNT?
Zucker has a restaurant 🥺
that is precious omggggg
ya that's his house there haha
@turbid sparrow I am literally working on the same thing!!!
hi yall! asked just now but maybe it got lost in the convo 🙂 what else can i add to this? any suggestions?
I also have a cafe for Chadder
I have no idea what to do and I hate my island and I’ve messed it up so much >.<
@unique pond Maybe some fencing in the back 🙂
@turbid sparrow 🙂
why do you hate it? just wondering
@versed wadi What does yours look like? I'm curious haha
if its because you think everyone else's is better, dont listen to them.
@subtle idol I love ur name, Wade my homie 
@clever minnow ooo like behind the house?
Hey uh.. can i ask for some help?
@unique pond Yep!
@unique pond looks great! but you should add some dirt/dark dirt path underneath the flowers. You gotta dig them up and then place them again but it'll be worth it
purple flowers look good on dark dirt usually
Just no organization, or too much perfect math organization, I don’t have anything for outside yet, I can’t get like cute areas and don’t have nice waterfalls and I just keep messing it upppp
also would contrast with the regular dirt paths
Jsu wanna share my island design https://youtu.be/ica7-ufMCZc
😁
Hi everyone, hingin ko lng yung 15 mins time nyo hehehe, di ko pa masyadong tapos pero nasa 80-90% na siguro ang island ko, so ishare ko lang yung mga idea ko na inapply ko sa aking isla! Anime fan ako so yun ung ibang design na ginawa ko. Hope you will enjoy!!
Like and subs...
My island has like no waterfalls, don't have to have them haha
It’s a work in progress Friend! Trust me we ALL have been where you are right now
oh yeah, I definitely lean more towards dark dirt but it's their choice in the end
My island has ten billion waterfalls because I love waterfalls
I skipped waterfalls cuz I felt like they made it too hard to get around the island
Imma fix it a bit but do u guys like the heart in a heart pond?
@turbid sparrow atm I’m working on moving Aurora in as I want that to be the exterior for it
@fair temple ahhhh okay! i will maybe try that for a few rows and see if it looks better!
My only good waterfall area on my island 
I wanted to completely demolish everything and build up but I’m not creative, I tend to math out everything
embrace the math, make an urban island!
Other than that it’s a load of tables and fishing paraphernalia in storage on the beach
@grim talon the right side is longer than the top
I really need help with this area. Do you guys think I should keep it or spread out all the houses across the map? There more but couldn’t get it all in vid
Those are some nice waterfalls Evan! A lot of people don’t realize how much separating waterfalls and adding layers does to overall aesthetic
Ik that’s why I’m fixing it
If your inclination is to calculate and make everything symmetrical you can lean into that
@toxic monolith Exactly, and thx ☺️
I would love to be able to mute waterfalls.
My airports not even in the middle!!!
I feel bad for those of you who dont have airports close to the middle 😔
@marble sapphire same
my airport is kinda close to the middle
anyone have a layout of a map with multiple tiny streams ?
@toxic monolith only my RS is centered
watching this channel swiftly kills my confidence in my design skills
my airport is kinda close but its a small price to pay for that centered resident services
My dissappointment is immesurable, and my day is ruined.
RS, the most important building to have centered
I post something and then see the things posted before and after are both way cooler D:
my resident services is right in front of my airport, but 1 square off-center with it
that sucks
Hey guys! Could you check out this video I’m am stumped! Should I keep it like this or spread out the houses?
Hmm doesn’t look like a heart
I'm not too big into moving the airport or RS but I would definitely kill someone in nintendo just to move one of those @turbid sparrow
I really wanna do this!!
The fact that my RS is off centered makes me mad
but mine is like literally in the middle, i dont care about vertical, i just like it nice and centered
Hmm doesn’t look like a heart
@grim talon make the sides narrower
Ugh does it sound weird that I want a RS super close to my airport? I just can’t make a path to where mine is it rn
And combine the cat river with this kinda feel
Ngl, my RS is pretty frickin far compared to most
make the right side shorter
Ugh does it sound weird that I want a RS super close to my airport? I just can’t make a path to where mine is it rn
@crisp thorn no i have the same. i like having my airport close to my rss
of the heart
Pretty map 🤤
if only we could have circle 1 square paths that would show up on the map
ikr! It’s so annoying. Idk how ppl do it, I end up tearing mine down in frustration lol
Could you guys please check out this video I don’t know if I want to keep the houses like this or separated. Sorry for keep on reposting it just keeps on getting lost in the convo 🙂
you had it right the first time, the right side was just one block too long
@crisp thorn JuSt ReStArT YoUr IsLaNd
but also i'm not going for symmetry so having it close by looks a lot better for me
i did the dark dirt on the left row... not feeling it actually. should i just stick to grass?
Nah, i have beau and merengue already, no one I’m just voicing them lmao
@unique pond i agree grass looks better
@unique pond i think it takes away from the intensity of the purple, i’d leave the grass (:
Look at this pain
what bush**** works the best for white flowers ?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF
Its close but
I put trees in my entrance to try and hide it lol
Im sure you can make it work, its like part of your entrance then
what bush**** works the best for white flowers ?
@brittle isle white ones
@turbid sparrow Damn.
Hey guys could you scroll up and check the video i just sent really need opinions.
@unique pond dang, I'm really feeling that dark dirt path :(
(I'M SO SORRY ATLAN)
@turbid sparrow my guy... do you need to talk to someone about that
@clever minnow loveeeee the name 😋
@brittle isle @woven drift yess! thanks for your validation!
I like having a close Resident services.
OH NO WHO DID I PING
Hearty enough?
@winged pier i dont like how the azaelas have pink in them </3 i might just go for yellow n orange
@blazing sorrel Ty 
i wish you could customize fences because i need white regular fences
@brittle isle tea olive is the best bush imo it’s pretty
@grim talon you got it !
like a white picket fence would be great
fence customization is at the top of my patch wishlist
still dont know what theme im going for :0 any ideas?
Hehe it looks so funky but I love it
I’d love a fence patch!
i also really REALLY wish you could plant trees along the water. like please. i am dying
My own little Chinese restaraunt!
@woven drift i might go for those cuz my plaza is also yellow n orange themed
why cant we make the fricking hedges have flowers even? fence customization for next update NOW NINTENDO
@brittle isle if you want pretty blooms then the yellow hibiscus would be really pretty too!
@pale depot beautiful!
@brazen horizonMine is Celestial Roman Garden
n i feel u omg my cliffs r so bare cuz i can't place trees </3
Does anyone have any pictures of clubs? I’m trynna get some inspo for a club I’m making
like i get that’s supposed to be realistic because the water can disrupt it BUT me want pretty island 👉👈
I also wish u could have bushes without flowers
I have a club but it's pretty basic
@subtle idol my orchard, "Gone reduced to atoms"
@forest creek wow that's so pretty!
can you imagine how next level it would be if you could put bridges over gaps in cliffs
@frozen lark thanks🥺
@pale depot you can but you gotta replace them when it’s their season lol
@fiery irisIkr!
@fiery iris everybody be gangsta til the 8 bridge limit kicks in
Should I keep the houses like this or separated, really need opinions here, PLEASE HELP
@fiery iris YES the suspension bridge
i wanted a sort of walkway above everything on the top level, but no way to do that
why isnt there a campsite option for the signpost
nintendo add the option to allow us to make bridges between cliffs challenge
wished u could place like the teen cedar trees in like 2 block cliffs idk if i make sense lmao
Looks pretty good to me Nico
Thanks!
Or use hedges
but thats kinda tedious
My dad is helping me yay
With what?
@cyan cedar no yeah I was thinking abt that yesterday. It would make the scenery so much better
@subtle idol i just used the forest one
@distant moat at 3AM
i use the forest one for my orchard tho
i used the fishing spot one. close enough...
Its 2pm for me
Who else thinks there needs to be a weed killer item
People have different times
nooo I looove weeds
I wish having weeds didn't lower your island rating
cuz the weeds look good in this game
whaaaat, time zones exist?
I dont think it does
Weeds are ugly and make me uncomfortable in a way I cant explain
isabelle has never talked about them to me
I know but there’s certain area where I wish they would never grow
the weeds don’t lower it in this i think
Guess I could just put a one pixel path down and stop it
Yeah I didnt know about time zones
oh they don't?
oh god I've been picking weeds I didn't need to this whole time then
They do
gaming
Completely new to this..butttt is paying people for an island design a thinggg or? I’m kinda stuck😅
i just want them in a specific area
I put them down deliberately when I had 5 stars still, now im 4 but thats because I want more trees then isabelle wants me to have
i use weeds to decorate my island hhh
I pick every weed I see those things nasty
same weeds compliment flowers :>>
weeds on the beach weeds everywhere ❤️
Completely new to this..butttt is paying people for an island design a thinggg or? I’m kinda stuck😅
@upper maple i believe briclyn forest gets paid to decorate islands on yt
I have merengue in boxes but I can’t type there 😭 does anyone have an offer
small picnic pond
I have merengue in boxes but I can’t type there 😭 does anyone have an offer
@obtuse crater go away, wrong channel!
Ik
raymond likes it lol
I can’t type for 55 mins
Should I add a zen bridge here or leave it w the stepping stones to save a bridge
@obtuse crater to bad
@obtuse crater if theres no one dming u there r no offers yet so let it sit
I think a bridge would look nice there
i like zen bridge
How’s it look
Ik
@last ferry 10/10
i like the floor mats
Im having trouble designing my island entrance.
@fiery iris same
Here’s the code not mine btw
my switch joycons: do u even drift bro?
Ok red bridge or normal wood
Here’s my entrance if you guys need inspiration
we're open
@distant moat Mine 🙂
That's epic
here’s an idea if your res services is TWO STEPS AWAY (:(: no i’m not bitter
To be fair I haven’t done it yet but everyone has these cool entrances and I can’t do anything 😔😔
i wish you could choose what sound custom designs made when you walked over them
like sand or stone or grass
@pale depot bushes
@woven drift got u beat w how close mine is lol
Mine is like this
@pale depot yeah ik really not a good time for you to post that lol
Hey guys, I have a ton of blank spaces on my island and I don’t have any idea what to do with them, can I have suggestions please?
here’s an idea if your res services is TWO STEPS AWAY (:(: no i’m not bitter
@woven drift i wanted to do something similar to this but got frustrated and did something else </3
@pale depot Hey mines closes aswell it’s all about. Trial and error. It took me to found one I finally liked.
@woven drift I love your entrance💓
@small sluice dm me with pictures! i’d love to help
Hey guys, I have a ton of blank spaces on my island and I don’t have any idea what to do with them, can I have suggestions please?
@small sluice Cliiiiiifs
@upper maple tysm 💞
There’s absolutely nothing done to it yet itll look better once I actually make it lol
To be fair I haven’t done it yet but everyone has these cool entrances and I can’t do anything 😔😔
@pale depot i'd say try to do cliffs on both side of the entrance n just get rid of the paths </3
@pale depot mine is about the same distance away, here’s what I did with it, Posted this earlier but here it is again
@distant moat
@shell tiger this is just a villager flex because gotdamn
I have merengue in boxes but I can’t type there 😭 does anyone have an offer
@obtuse crater I'm looking for herr! What would you like me to offer?
@woven drift It was not without pain
Who would win!
I just deleted my island an hr ago so we’re starting from nothingggg😬 being a perfectionist without the skill to be a perfectionist is real fun🤗
obv the lighthouse
@last ferry plot twist: the dude in the lighthouse
@woven drift 😮
I'm voting for the lion dog statue
team lighthouse
Im sure the new version will be awesome 🙂 @upper maple
the portable radio
@turbid sparrow idk that stone stool looks like it’s got a few tricks up it’s (metaphorical) sleeve
what if the pink cosmos sweep up at the end?
Did you guys just kinda go for it? Or look at vids and stuff for inspo?
idk how to lay paths down that look nice to save my life </3
I just went for it
I used pics you guys posted here as inspiration for a theme, and then I just went for it
@upper maple I went for it, I had a theme in mind, and just started terraforming etc, but it keeps changing over time still
@upper maple i had a plan, scrapped most of it when i got envious of how everyone's layouts looked and just went for it
What kind of staircase looks the best to you guys
@turbid sparrow you’re forgetting about the sea bass in the water though
i like the wooden one the most
Do you have pics of your island Jac?
ahh im not yet done and don't have one on my laptop so lemme find it in the discord
@upper maple For me I picked tropical and didn’t over think it. I feel like that why most people have a hard time starting off.
@upper maple pinterest, reddit and twitter
it's a whole mess and i only got the left side kind of done </3
For sure. I started comparing a lot and then just ended up scrapping it. I haven’t even had it for long. Today was like my 14th day before I deleted it?
I read a lot of people giving up here :( keep at it guys, coming up with the ideas and painting the picture was just as difficult for a lot of us
Just finished my entrance ✨
@brittle isle STOP STOP STOP this is too goddamn good
Any museum entrance ideas
i cannot keep up with y'all 🏃♂️
Cute!!
i'm gonna BLUSH no it's so messy </3 i don't know how to fill everything in
My beach
I’m a freak about symmetry and was gonna go for an island with the town square perfectly in the center above the airport. But does it really matter?
my rivers and cliffs are giving me a headache
@brittle isle omg SO COOL
Like does anyone have any cute layouts that aren’t symmetrical?
Sorry for all the questions. I just downloaded discord for this so not even sure how this usually goes lmao
someone in this channel had such a good layout but i can't remember their name </3
@upper maple honestly i’d say just choose one that appeals to you. everyone wants an island with RS in the middle, so it’s extremely overused. something more unique will make people say “hey that’s your island”
probably cloudy
Shout out to all the peeps whose RS is right next to the airport. We can suffer together LOL. Anyway, here’s a WIP side entrance.
@brittle isle was it the really hilly one
My RS is off-centered by one tile
@oblique willow I Feel You
i can't remember hhhh they had their island name in their display name
Haha, take that people with perfectly centered RS
😔😔 @last ferry thank you 😔😔
liliputia
Oman i didnt know everyone wanted their RS in the center 😦
@woven drift 😢😢🥺🥺 thank you!!!
@pale depot i love these patterns!! i’m saving my beaches for last because i just know i’m gonna have so much fun with them
i saw someone design this one and it looks reallllly nice
@upper maple here's mine, i'm still working on the top and the left edge!
Should I get rid of this little garden area or keep it?
That is amazing but can the island take that many projects?
@craggy folio i think it’s cute i would just fence it in more so it feels like it’s own area, and maybe put some other decorations too (:
@misty wraith I think it’s 8 max for bridges and 8 max for inclines. Or maybe 8 max TOTAL. I don’t exactly know.
8 for each
@unique pond nice! Everyone’s looks so good! I just need to go for it
@woven drift I have plenty of free space so I’ll keep it haha thanks!
Thanks for clarification!
@upper maple You Got This!
Good spot?
@woven drift thanks for the suggestions! I’ll def do those
Lol this server is so wholesome
@woven drift top left corner is all for beau! just a circle of trees with his house, with a ramp at the back that leads to the secret beach... nothing too fancy haha. it's the bottom left corner next to the museum that's giving me grief. tried to put a house on a higher tier but there was just noooo space
got big plans! anyone have any tips?
Unlike the villager one which is so cutthroat
animal crossing is wholesome after all
Should I change the bridge type
I am kind of a maximalist and my island is majority stone path lol I just really like the click clacks. It’s def flatter than most I’ve seen buuuut I take pride in it lol
I personally like stairs that are closed in by cliffs on al sides, But it does look like a good spot 🙂 @grim talon
i like the moat around RS lmao
@grim talon I think it’s unique. It leaves lots of room for creativity. Also, I agree with Robin.
@paper coyote WOW that is a lot of dedication.
@reef orchid while big water areas are pretty, you won’t be able to jump the one on the right hand side and it will seem super huge ! i would turn it into a marshy looking area or add bigger platforms to jump around! other than that, super cute design (:
I wanted to really make my island my own so I took out every cliff, river, and tree before I started terraforming lmao. Took two weeks
@reef orchid looks gorgeous!!
Just some late night fishing.
@subtle idol lol it was...a lot of work lol
y’all i should be able to get all of my rocks to spawn here right 👀
Yes
@midnight moth i wish you luck, soldier
Rock garden takes sooooo long
Yep
bruh I’ve been placing mannequins for the past hour
If anyone who planned their map out beforehand has pics of that ‘before’ planned map and the ‘after’ execution I’m interested in seeing it 👀
@reef orchid while big water areas are pretty, you won’t be able to jump the one on the right hand side and it will seem super huge ! i would turn it into a marshy looking area or add bigger platforms to jump around! other than that, super cute design (:
@woven drift not all of the squares in the water r gonna be for jumping on, some will have plants or rocks on them :) but ty for the tip
there’s probably around 110ish monokuma mannequins around my island🥺
If anyone who planned their map out beforehand has pics of that ‘before’ planned map and the ‘after’ execution I’m interested in seeing it 👀
@toxic monolith i could show u the before but i changed a lot n am not done yet
Ye I’d like to see, the planned maps are cute to look at lol
@woven drift i'm abandoning the higher tier of houses completely! haha. there's the empty space in c3 where i will put a house by the river bend. currently it's stuck in e1 with very little yard space. 😛
@midnight moth I was Stupid and filled up my whole island with weeds. 😐
@midnight moth I was Stupid and filled up my whole island with weeds. 😐
@last ferry haha i did that once
@toxic monolith
I’m so proud of y’all. True dedication. I open up terraforming and slap some cliffs and water till I like how it looks. LMAO
WOW thats cool
@last ferry big oof, at least it's not flowers
weeds are better than monokuma😳
praise the sun
i can’t stand his face anymore
the only thing im keeping similar is the sun n moon the rest has changed sjf
@brittle isle truly spectacularrrr
thank u c:
monokuma is trapping me
Like this ? I kinda like it might change the style
Does anyone have leif?
@woven drift as you command!! anything for Chids!! ❤️
@grim talon looks great !
Anyone ever see an island that’s all water and like one piece of land?
how do you get the diff types of work benches
Ty c:
I’m wasting my time looking rather than doing, I’m going work on my island.
@woven drift I will 😃
This community is so supporting
me: wants to build bridge but also incline
me: i should do incline
also me:
See ya guys
bye
Anyone want to come to my island to hang/critique my island layout?
So I’m thinking to do a natural Land incline instead of this stone one not sure tho
Idk tbh
I updated it a bit from the flowers I had there
it's all up to you! if u like it more just go for it
I’ll take those flowers off the top when I finish rearranging my garden
oh my god im finally done placing mannequins
Idk I’m indecisive 😤
i really wish i had more bells. im very poor and i wanna make a bridge and incline whyyyyyyyy
@woven drift thank you :))
@subtle idol turnips 🙂
Imma just try out the Land bridge and see if it looks nice
@subtle idol Dm me, ill finish one or 2 of you bridges/inclines if you like
@fluid oriole that’s a cute set up :)
i would invest in turnips but im bad at stalk market
@fluid oriole that’s a cute set up :)
@grim talon
Ty 😍
Np :))
well all you have to do really is buy turnips from someone with low prices, and sell at someone who has high prices! Some ppl will let you do it for free, so with some patience, you’ll have millions in no time!
@subtle idol just look out for good prices without a ridiculous entrance fee in #daisy-nookling-ads
yeah ok. time travel time... to 1 hour ahead...
yes nintendo switch your clock is wrong for the hundrenth time
rn I’m rearranging everything (like I’m giving villagers their own mini backyard kinda thing)
that o[]o back there is where I’m going to move the campsite, not sure what is going to do with the empty space, maybe once the new shops pop up I’ll put those there
My favorite spot
i'll show my new campsite spot
It blends In ahh idk
can we build bridge between 2 cliff (without water)?
No
Idk
i really wish so
That’d be cool though
no, not yet at least
i wish we could have cool canyons
the only way to make a canyon that is traversable is to have a 1 block gap
😍
I think i finally have an idea on how my island is gonna look
I got the island load with the mini island and I made a waterfall imma decorate it soon but I love the way it looks
Thanks dad
ooh nice
I'm the type of person to go for symmetry. I might go for a mix of symmetrical and natrual, if there's such a thing like that.
Yess
symmetry is kinda weird tho
I mean my RS is one tile off center so there goes the symmetrical dream
I updated it a bit from the flowers I had there
@sly cape those lamp looks good
Symmetry isnt weird I think, its just different
Too much symmetry makes a town.
i don't like symmetry myself but some people are able to pull it off really well
Why do you hate me.
I feel like im gonna make the resident area symmetrical, but then everything else is going to be kinda natural
Can someone give me some advice? I hate where my resident services is, bc when I make a path to it, it seems waayyy too long and becomes boring. What should I do
@crisp thorn maybe have it curve towards the RS ?
My friend is going to name his island Simpville lmao
Can I please see some neighbourhoods 🙂
I’ve tried curving it, it looks weird, actually I think I’m just bad at curving things lmao
I’ll try it again thought ty!
I have a part of my island where the shop and the clothing store are next to each other and they're completely surrounded by stone paths but it just looks sooo boring I need some decorations or something. Any suggestions?
then i guess add more cliffs and trees i guess. maybe a river crossing through it would work as well
Im gonna go work on my island as soon as my switch finishes charging. I guess atm i'll try visualizing what i want my island to look like
I’ll give it a shot ty!
here's my campsite. would you camp here?
Yes
Yes
@crisp thorn could try doing a dot path to go diagonally? I think they look lovely, maybe with some custom paths added too?
oooh what’s a dot path
@subtle idol yes! Looks very cosy and inviting :)
thanks all yall :)
Im planning to make a forest-y area for my campsite
Or maybe i should just beach campsite like everyone else
no, do foresty or make something like mine. beach campsite i dont really like
@crisp thorn like this (not mine!)
yeah, sometimes leaf has them or you can buy them from the shop
ohhhh
Ah
lief*
yeah I’ll give it a try ty!
Isnt it Leif
Leif
Easier to curve/go round corners or diagonals that way
i cant spell anything
@distant moat they’re cedar saplings
In game* not snarky remark lol!
Lmao
My dad used to be an interior designer so guess who's gonna help me design my house lmao
interior crocodile alligator, i drive a chevrolet movie theatre
Lmao
can we just appreciate in every game the peaches look more like butts?
I like to call the cedar trees "spruce trees" because of haha block game
That means i have roughly 41 and a half stack of butts in my house storage rn lmao
Also i have to excavate my fruit farm on the north end of my island. Please send help.
Lf red rose seed bags
I’m designing my neighbourhood. Can I please see what other people have done for some inspo:)
well... rip
My neighborhood/residency isnt done yet but i could show you what i plan on making
Anything would be great
That was rly helpful for me
Let me just boot up happy island designer-
stump farm idea. and yes, i know those 2 saplings wont grow. that's the point.
i wanna make a lumberjack area eventually hh
my idea was to make it look under construction
@spark owl these are some of my villager houses
Happy island designer is kinda of a pain since it seems to lag/slow down when i try to use it.
this ^
I plan on making my neighborhood have 2 rows. The upper row has 6 houses and the bottom one has 4 houses
Basically like that ig.
Actually. How do you make stuff look natural. Because all i do is make a straight line, and maybe some other paths branching out. But they dont go diagonal, always horizontal, haha-
@woven drift awe thank you! Means a lot
Thank you so much!
Guys replace the
Replace the I in Chids with A
everyone: happy island designer really helps me make my realistic ideas come true!
their ideas:
👀
My friend is making his island the uh.. fortnite island. Yes i just said the forbidden word please end me-
@woven drift is that your twitter, chids?
"Chad" is like uhh the best version of a person? That's my interpretation on how people use the word
That works too
I rly want to draw my character but also work on my island
@woven drift alright!!! Chids is just the GOAT, the shifu, our sensei
Chids is the most nice af person i have ever heard of
^
Do the flowers on shrubs go away when they're not in season?
yes
😔
he gives constructive but not harming criticism, likes to compliment everyone's designs, and never says anything really bad about some peoples islands
@subtle idol not to forget... he doesn't leave anyone out!!!
I have 2 different clothing and idk which one to draw aa
And also yeah, i agree with what you said Taxe.
ah yes, the Hello tee and the Ciao tee
good job nook shopping
everyone: buying all the red roses off of nookazon, this discord, and other ways
me: gets roses as major natural flower
needless to say, i have a huge black rose breeding area...
I am slowly approaching the road to black roses
Half of my island is flower breeding haha
boop
i have black roses and... uh... not even a 4 star island...
Morning lovely Ishtar<3
this is so sad
I'm hardstuck 3* too
My native flower isnt the rose but my friend was kind enough to give me some
yes we made vegan curry
Brb.
@ember sand blaxk roses are easy, blue roses are where shit hits the fan
gold roses require a 5 star island and aint nobody got time for that
it was super tasty!
I just got a friend to craft me a golden can haha
Even though I don't have a use for it yet
Soon ™️
redd hasnt shown up in weeks
Hi! can I see people’s villagers community? I need some inspiration 💛 you can dm me too!
my home!
anyone have any beach inspo? im having trouble with mine ):
@jaunty crane i’ll send some pics of my beach
okay thank you! @forest snow
I’m trying to make a japan inspired island. Does anyone have any inspiration?
bamboo is nice
Nice oki
@woven drift Thank you!! Im just getting tired of the flowers and thinking about changing what to put there but I have no ideas haha I’m also wondering what to use to prop up their photos ;;
@woven drift ty man spent lot of time doing every square
can someone please please please please give me 2 bamboo shoots i cant get bamboo island no matter how hard i try
@gaunt violet i love the idea of putting the photo outside each house! though it seems a little odd to me to put their actual picture there... out in the rain and all the elements. have you seen the custom QRs that people make for each villager? you could customise signs for each villager!
How do I get their portrait,,,
hey guys i have no idea what to do my airport is extremely close to my resident services which gives me like no room to design anything please help
gn friends 🥰
@chrome briar JJ's stepping stone design for their close RS is very good!
@unique pond Youre so right!! thats why it looks strange to have them propped up!! I just had a vision that they would look so cute and collected them all haha
@bronze laurel That looks amazing, looking forward to it being completed
here ya go @chrome briar
@subtle idol can I see pictures of yours if you dont mind?
my what?
@bronze laurel i never knew the oil barrel could be customised like that! so cool
@unique pond thank you
@woven drift no no it's @severe cosmos 's! hahaha it comes to mind every time someone mentions they can't do anything with their RS being too close
@gaunt violet what do you want pictures of?
@unique pond the oil barrel comes like that only the gas pump could be customized! 🙂✌🏻
im glad haha
@subtle idol Oh of the signs with the villagers on it! Im guessing its near their house, just for inspiration (:
oh. yeah ill show. just gotta go through the daily announcements. its 5 am
spams B button
anyone has ideas on how to fix that little questionable corner river thing? xD
make it more curvyyyy
Library is complete!!
Daisy... Daisy mae i swear... 106 bells for turnips? really?
girl is tryna make a living what can ya do
last week you were selling for 90 whats the price bump for?
ooh that looks noice
Doesn’t anyone like my library.. 😰😅
Things get flooded sometimes, i get that feel. Your library is great
My front yard is so peaceful in the rain
rip those graveyards
time for coffin dance
do the items stop rocks from spawning👀
@woven drift greenhouses turn out really good when you use stalls and white simple panels. I think they’re about 7 x 4.5 tiles and you can kind of freestyle what plants you put in
campsite showwwww
@subtle idol ohh love these!! ty!
Gothic tea party
@subtle idol I love the different patterns on the floor!
the campsite is nice but makes this part look like a mess
im working on a beachside boardwalk. cant send a pic now its very hard to do -_-
Thankss🖤🖤🖤 @woven drift
why do stalls take up SO MUCH WOOD which is the hardest wood to get in the game
ok maybe i can't fix the curve but hopefully adding more rivers fixes the sharp turn-looking thing

smooth the edge on the bottom side of the river
bless you
@woven drift ty you’re so kind!
hi guys, which one is better for a 16x8 area, Carnival or Musical Area?
Does anyone have the insta link of the acnh neighbourhood design ideas?
Nice, thanks @woven drift it looks wonderful, credits to @grim cosmos too for sharing such a beautiful musical sets
Would anyone like to come to my 5 star island?
I made something. Not the best but.. i tried.
How can I improve this area? It’s meant to be a little train stop
@woven drift i would like too! will try out the carnival area first and will be more than glad to share it here
Can I please see some neighbourhood designs for inspo 🙂
What should i add to make the fountain area look more interesting?
I’m working on a carnival but it’s shit rn lol
@woven drift I haven’t no! I’d already maxed out on the stuff I could order and was fresh out of mm😩
This was exactly behind my RS and i thought it would be nice to have a carnival area, so i will try it first
noo switch please dont dieeeee
@woven drift Oki ty!
Oh wow!
nooo switch died
F
Can I please see some neighbourhood designs for inspo 🙂
@spark owl
Campsite
How can I make my park/playground look better?
any diner area idea ?
Yeah I’m looking for inspo more to connect all the houses to make a neighbourhood
@subtle idol Depends on what your idea of a neighbourhood is. Neighbourhoods whre I live the houses are spread out and not next to eachother 🤷♀️
@sterile badge just wanna share mine even it looks quite bland
My neighborhood houses have enough room between each other to individualize each one, but close enough they don’t take up my entire island
Do you guys mind if i screenshot these for inspo-
I plan to get my villagers’ framed photos in front of all their houses 
such a big bruh moment when you have this stupid lighthouse... why did mine have to be yellowwwww
bruh same
I have the cobblestone one originally
The black and white one was given to me by my friend :’ )
❤️ @woven drift
🥺
Should I add anything to this area?
its kinda weird that the lighthouses are too tiny for anyone to get inside...
They’re fine imo as long as you don’t stand right next to them lol
Had it on flat ground originally and it just made it look bigger to put it on a hill
Early stages of my carnival/bazaar leading to Redd’s beach. Still adding inclines and paths
TY GUYS
Should I add anything to this area?
@woven drift add a bamboo lantern or a light source
What can I do to make my playground look nicer
Idk what to add here. Any suggestions?
Hi trying to create a wedding area any ideas what to do next?
can someone tell me why tf stalls are so expensive to make because wood is super hard to get
I did but I took the picture before. It is hidden though
woah gotta turn my laptop upside donw
Should I add anything to this area?
@woven drift i think some type of seating would look nice to fill some space too , maybe? ;v;
Hi trying to create a wedding area any ideas what to do next?
@fierce spoke i just broke my neck 💀
Sorry guys. Lol
Owie my neck
@subtle idol Just cut down trees and that’s enough for a stack everyday
@ripe quarry like a bamboo bench maybe?
cut em down?
no. im using that flimsy axe
besides if i use flimsy axe on every tree i will get the golden axe quick
I mean just chop, not cut it down haha
That should be fine @woven drift Itwould definitely fit the theme!
@subtle idol go to mystery island and chop all of them down
yes k i shall
thank you
Omg the lil hearts are so cute ahaha
now i can see them
I love that
after about 2 hours of placing down mannequins and time traveling, I finally got one rock to get in the spot 🥺🥺
GG
Poggers
pog time
definitely a pog moment
honestly im not even gonna make the effort to do that
i dont care if its organized i cant
it only spawns in the grass?
i wont
Is it possible to move Tom nooks building?
I wanna do that but at the same time am I willing to spend all that time placing mannequins
no they spawn on dirt
@fervent crest dont think so, unfortunately
Meanwhile im here waiting for suggestions
Actually if ur island is already mostly complete and covered with furniture then u only gotta place a few mannequins
@fierce spoke how do you get the wedding fence
it’s gonna take me forever to take down the mannequins but at least they’ll be in one spot
the general layout of my island is pretty much done, but it all feels very flat.. i'd like to add some elevations/waterfalls (a lot tbh) but i don't really know where.
any ideas? ty in advance btw!
@opal bay someone traded me at Nookazon for a large star frag
looks beautiful
@woven drift MORE RIVERS. rivers are key. add them because they are just... nice
and you can make them start at waterfalls
for maximum n i c e vibe
@subtle idol ty!! i was thinking that too, like making them go up between the shops/town plaza.. good thinking!
tysm :D
i dont know i just like the rivers in this game
Made temple today, sunday well spend lol 😁
@woven drift Idk if my map will help but I do have a lot of cliffs between everything
I rlly struggled with rivers too, so I made all mine straight 
I want to make Hans a micro environment and I’m trying to think of stuff? Any ideas? I want him to be the yeti he is so I’m going to make him in a cave like area/away or distant from the group. I need cave-ish items or something yeti like, I will have lots of art as well since he wants to become an artist but send any furniture or DIY recipes my way lol
before terraforming?
@subtle idol Yep
wish i snapped a pic...
@woven drift is this moon lake or just letter C 
@shell tigerty so much actually that helps a lot! i love your island, super unique :> i bet it's beautiful!
i only had pics of my island after terraforming...
@opal bay moon lake of course :D
uuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhh i dread working on my residential areas
@woven drift Always welcome to have a look later 🙂
@woven drift wanna do the same but i fail 
anyone else just wish we could do something like this in new horizons?
@subtle idol Which game is that from?
I wish we could just have more then 10 villagers 😦
@opal bay it's hard!! even mine is too round hahah i still need to chop it up a bit.. i believe in you though!
I’m so obsessed with gold. Wish there was a gold path to match lol.
What can I do to improve my park?
make a gold path lmao
@sweet totem Yeah, but problem is my island is already outta space lol
oh evan i found the game, its called My Time at Portia
I don’t have the creative mind 🥺
Ooh, cool
Guys all my villagers are kind of spread out and I want to put them closer so where should I put them?
@pallid arrow Tire toys, maybe some “residents” like using raccoons or stuffed bears?
@merry wharf It’s up to u, but I would start terraforming everything first
Ty!
idk if i should work with some of the houses i've already plotted or move them all back to the beach and start over
Ok @clever minnow I’ll do that
its the same in new leaf, so T I N Y
Sooo I kinda wanna move my shops and make this a dedicated stargazing area above the RS but I also wanna extend that cliff back and maybe to the sides and idk what do you guys think?
yeah but it's like... prob the biggest project yet
i have almost terraformed the entirety of my left side and done nothing on the right
I’m digging a hole I can’t get out of! Please pm with ideas/suggestions. I hate my layout >.<
i've terraformed the entire south east corner of my map and nothing else xD
@grim cosmos we'll get there eventually <3
😩
honestly i wish some items werent island color exclusive
what
Haha thanks! It just takes so much moving! I started trying it in the 3D editor and realized I don't know how to make interesting cliffs lol
@wet cliff what’s the 3D editor?
im so glad my airport n native fruit match sjfhsj they're both orange
Okay final iteration of my stargazing area. Removed a tree, relocated another and added flowers. I'm very happy with how it turned out! Stale Cupcakes is playing on the cassette player for atmosphere.
honestly i wish some items werent island color exclusive
@subtle idol whatcha need? I have a lot of white decorations
This is what i have atm.
@blissful smelt Love it ❤️ adorable
@wet cliff what’s the 3D editor?
@digital pebble https://bobacupcake.itch.io/island-planner
Ooh ty ty ty
my entire population is lowkey social distancing
i dont need anything except the bane of my existance is that stupid lighthouse. WHY CANT I JUST CUSTOMIZE MINE TO BE WHITE AND RED
ohhh
NOBODY LIKES YELLOW LIGHTHOUSES
Yw! I can't plan via minimap lol
rudy's future house (now inhabitated by poncho) is lit rally stuck in the middle of several streams
.. I like yellow lighthouses
Thank you! This is what it looked like originally
I have a yellow lighthouse and I love it lol
ok well i guess ill keep it for now
My friend loves yellow XD but ye I had a white and then traded someone for the white and blue stripes
i have a red and white lighthouse but i got a gray one instead
I think its cute
Oh the purple mums accent so nicely
cheese lighthouse hhh it looks cute though !
I fits my tropical theme hahaha
if you pull off a tropical theme ur a hero
@subtle idol just pretend it's rusted <3
nice idea
@brittle isle welcome to have a look later if you like 🙂 almost done just putting on some finishing touches for now
robin pulls off a tropical theme
this is my layout, somehow I got 5 stars I’m hyyyyyyped!!!
This is my lighthouse area. I don't have any pictures of it when it's raining at night but it looks so spooky when it storms.
the gray is just gorg
i'll hold onto that @shell tiger !1 i'd love to see it
Man it looks great but I can't afford an incline XD
i haven't rlly taken a look yet at all my furniture since i'm still busy terraforming haha
Hi. Can someone help me. I cant make the two rocks spawn on those open slots. I already eliminated the cliffs around. By the way the rocks are in “oblivion” they spawn if i open a certain space but if i break the remaining two they dont spawn on the two spots i want. Please help.
Turtle
@queen sparrow send a picture
@shell tiger winds the award for prettiest peninsula!
So I’ve been island resetting to try and my rs in the middle and my entrance to be right inline with the middle of it, I’ve got this which is slighty of center
So I was wondering if anyone has the same sort of entrance and can show me how they done it up to look good? (so I know if I should keep resetting or not?)
@lone cloud as an owner of two irl turtles i approve
awww robin congrats 😭
In the map, the 6 rocks are on diff wuadrants
@woven drift do u exist come bacc
Hi. Can someone help me. I cant make the two rocks spawn on those open slots. I already eliminated the cliffs around. By the way the rocks are in “oblivion” they spawn if i open a certain space but if i break the remaining two they dont spawn on the two spots i want. Please help.
@queen sparrow only 1 rock spawns per day and you have to take up all the other spaces rocks can spawn to force them into specific places
I TTed 6 days. And the two rocks are in “oblivion” cause i open a space somewhere and the two rocks spawn there. But not on those spots empty that i want 😦
I have that! Lemme find a pic @soft sparrow
Sweet as, just want to know if I can make it look good or not or if I should keep resetting
@versed wadi haha im gonna win the prettiest peninsula award next
Fighting talk
