[cyan scaffold]

The sable patterns have been lifesavers

[quasi relic]

anyone know other cool items that could look like a minecart besides the tool cart?

[patent sky]

This is a curiosity shop but still has books lol

[frosty spruce]

here’s my library @robust vapor

the daily struggle of mixing cottage and fairycore is something else lmao

[gilded flax]

@woven drift adding some bushes or hedges, flowers, lantern, and statue would be nice i think

[slender hedge]

My little beachfront play area!

[hallow glacier]

Trying to think of ideas on how to decorate around my ables and nook shop

[deep spear]

the hand cart maybe

[quasi relic]

More like a school zone, but sure its my library area

[woven drift]

wip cemetery~ i love it so much

[frosty spruce]

here is my able sisters @hallow glacier

[royal bluff]

anyone have ideas on how to fill up an empty space on my island

[tight wren]

Just finished my Starbucks seaside cafe and thought it was worth sharing for some inspo!

[patent sky]

Here's my nooks and ables

[distant moat]

Hey guys. I need help! For my last stall, should i "sell" fossils or DIY recipes?

[frosty spruce]

[patent sky]

[humble echo]

@graceful zinc

[grim cosmos]

[patent sky]

@grim cosmos ily 2 of course

[grim cosmos]

[hallow glacier]

Ty guys for the inspiration!

[patent sky]

Also, empty space? Fish market

[hasty lantern]

Natural entrance from the airport! Took me a while to make

[frozen lark]

@hasty lantern oh that's so pretty! great job :)

[humble echo]

so niceee omg

[indigo ravine]

I'm putting the time, dedication, and money into using different accounts to have themed buildings in my shopping district. A cafe/restaurant, a bakery/coffee shop, a hotel, a library, and hopefully an entertainment centre

[grim cosmos]

congrats

[slender hedge]

@woven drift rainbow is obvs my go to 💜

[distant moat]

And here i am thinking my market looked good lol

[woven drift]

@slender hedge i shall take your advice friendo! if you want i can send you a pic when done 😌🌸🌷🎀

[indigo ravine]

@graceful zinc
@humble echo what is the code for that path!?

[junior sparrow]

I’m thinking pool zen area/spa inspo. Any ideas??

[woven drift]

@indigo ravine Go for it, that’s not very common. I created a diner before using my alt account.

[humble echo]

@indigo ravine

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine
@humble echo thank you so much!

[humble echo]

yep!

[distant moat]

Are there any ways to make my marketplace look better?

[lyric hollow]

so i’m making a lil neighborhood and i did fencing with the zen fence but i don’t like how it looks :/ it doesn’t go well with the terra-cotta tiles. which fence would look best ?? would brick be too harsh ?

[distant moat]

Should i change the custom design for the stalls?

[patent sky]

The pathing is a little.... loud for your custom designs I think

[hallow glacier]

Maybe go more simple on the path in the market place??? Maybe a natural path? To help your stalls pop out?

[patent sky]

Like I use neutral paths in my markets and sync the color schemes on my stalls per section

[grim cosmos]

damn

just breathtaking everytime i see ur market place

[patent sky]

Flick died for this

[grim cosmos]

the coloring and everything

rip flick

[distant moat]

snap

Mmm thats going into my inspiration compilation

[grim cosmos]

lulu is just my inspiration overall

[patent sky]

The barreleye model is one of the most expensive things I've ever bought LOL the other 99% I had to run around and catch

[grim cosmos]

ohhh i didn't even notice that

thats crazy lmfao

[distant moat]

What if you

Wanted to catch a barreleye

But the game said

"Of course, mack.. er.. el."

[grim cosmos]

i caught a barreleye on my first island didn't even know it was rare

[patent sky]

It's all in the little details that make the overall view better, even if people don't consciously recognize them

[distant moat]

I caught a back to back oarfish once

Also my friend had a sturgeon chilling on his river mouth lmao

I snagged it

[patent sky]

I got big fish island in the rain once and that's how I have these 😂

[heavy summit]

Not mine but heres a fish stall

[patent sky]

My friend gave me the snail so it's forever on display

[distant moat]

Knowing my luck, if i got a big fish island, all i'll get are Sea Basses

[grim cosmos]

I LUV SNAILS

[floral topaz]

created a little pottery studio

[distant moat]

iTs AtLeAsT a C+

[terse lily]

Can anyone pls give me a actual tour of their island 4-5 star island and maybe help me on mine optional

[patent sky]

@grim cosmos I know you do 😂😂😂

[grim cosmos]

XD

They're adorable

[humble echo]

Truly

[fathom ivy]

guys i need help asap

[near carbon]

gonna make a flower pond, should i put red pink and white flowers around it, or purple blue and black. whichever colors i don’t use i’m putting with my shops

[fathom ivy]

i redid my island and im decorating everything and my mind went blank on a museum entrance and decorations around

[grim cosmos]

like eat fruit and take them

[indigo ravine]

Knowing my luck, if i got a big fish island, all i'll get are Sea Basses
@distant moat I hate bass so much that I release the freshwater bass into salt water, and the saltwater bass into freshwater

[humble echo]

Yep

[heavy summit]

If theyre ur best friend

[distant moat]

@indigo ravine good.

[grim cosmos]

hmmm

i'll just try to move them myself cuz don't feel like bringing anyone here

[fathom ivy]

any suggestions on museum entrances and decorations?

[patent sky]

I just killed like 5 trees for aaaaaaquaponics

[distant moat]

Is this better?

[patent sky]

@fathom ivy here's my museum entrance and gardens

[indigo ravine]

i redid my island and im decorating everything and my mind went blank on a museum entrance and decorations around
@fathom ivy you dont have to have tons of decor around your museum. I've seen plenty of amazing 5 star islands with bare bones museum areas.

[near carbon]

gonna make a flower pond, should i put red pink and white flowers around it, or purple blue and black. whichever colors i don’t use i’m putting with my shops
someone pls give opinions 😭

[fathom ivy]

holy crap thats sooooo good

[deep spear]

my museum is bare bones but i get the grand entrances

[analog cave]

made an outdoor cafe!

[patent sky]

I refuse to burn two inclines on my museum lol

[indigo ravine]

my museum is bare bones but i get the grand entrances
@deep spear yeah. I personally like the idea of a natural museum area.

[deep spear]

ive given two staircases for villager houses lol

[distant moat]

I need a color scheme for the bug stalls-

[indigo ravine]

I need a color scheme for the bug stalls-
@distant moat orange to green.

[distant moat]

Good thing i went with apples and not oranges

[indigo ravine]

😂

[old pond]

Need ideas for how to make a double incline. I am going from the first level, up to the third for my oasis area. I started, kinda... Help...

[clever minnow]

I’m loving this “ruined” beach theme I got going on

[indigo ravine]

I’m loving this “ruined” beach theme I got going on :yess:
@clever minnow ooo. Sexy

[heavy summit]

If u need to move a bunch of trees, u can eat 1 turnip to get max buffs

[versed wadi]

Morning

[heavy summit]

Selling non native fruit gives u more money than selling the turnip u would have sold not eating it too

[distant moat]

Brb guys!

[patent sky]

Morning Gibbs!

[indigo ravine]

MORNING @versed wadi

[patent sky]

@old pond just make a switchback?

[distant moat]

Before i go. I honestly think that my island will turn out good, but not as good as you guys

[smoky socket]

anyone has tips for redoing rivers? now i regret destroying the original in the first place i’ve no idea what i’m doing

[grim cosmos]

🙄

[versed wadi]

@smoky socket check the pinned posts, there’s a great guide 🙂

[heavy summit]

What kind of island are u doing, a pretty island, a functional island, or both

[patent sky]

Walk in the general direction you want it to be and punch a ton of holes in the ground then go back and connect them later

[heavy summit]

If ur doing a pretty island u dont need rivers

[patent sky]

What's the definition of a pretty island

[clever minnow]

Flowers, everywhere!

[grim cosmos]

ponders

[heavy summit]

Pure look, u can barely move around, u can barely even catch bugs or fish river fishes

[zealous pendant]

@heavy summit what was the link of the tour that someone did on your island agin?

[heavy summit]

But it looks pretty

[patent sky]

Yes I got a meme turtle!!!

[indigo ravine]

@versed wadi I'm working on a island layout, but I'm getting stuck on some layout problems. I was thinking of putting my memory garden in my zen area, but then i worry I'm gonna run out of space. What do you think, o wise one?

[heavy summit]

https://youtu.be/HF_0th5hdI4

[zealous pendant]

Thank you

[indigo ravine]

https://youtu.be/HF_0th5hdI4
@heavy summit Congrats!

[grim cosmos]

lmfao

[heavy summit]

But u wont say my island name

[clever minnow]

New updated island plane view ✈️

[versed wadi]

@indigo ravine not so wise at all 😆 what’s a memory garden?

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine not so wise at all 😆 what’s a memory garden?
@versed wadi it's a style of garden that has one item that you have a connection too per each month of the year, usually placed on stone stools in a circle.

To keep a memory of it on your island

[versed wadi]

@indigo ravine OK that sounds cool. And a zen area sounds like a perfect place for contemplation.

[hollow bramble]

How big do ponds need to be to spawn fish?

would a 3x4 with rounded corners work?

[clever minnow]

My ponds are 4x5 and they spawn

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine OJ that sounds cool. And a zen area sounds like a perfect place for contemplation.
@versed wadi sweet. I was also wondering where I should put it? I have the back middle of my island available, as well as the back left corner.

[thorny vector]

does anyone know why

[vast cradle]

can ponds be connected to rivers but still count as ponds?

[thorny vector]

i have a market with 100000 items and it doesnt lag, but an area where i have alot of waterfalls and flowers lag???

[hollow bramble]

@vast cradle nope

[indigo ravine]

can ponds be connected to rivers but still count as ponds?
@vast cradle I dont believe so

[vast cradle]

😦

[autumn night]

hey guys i need ideas for an entrance can i see ur entrances?

[clever minnow]

Here’s mine @autumn night

[versed wadi]

@indigo ravine depends what’s connected to it. Whichever of those areas makes more sense

[patent sky]

Sure here's an entrance

[distant moat]

How are you guys so good hhh-

[versed wadi]

My entrance 🙂

[autumn night]

my RS is so close to my entrance idk whay to do🙃🙃

[gusty stirrup]

idk what the heck to do with this area aaaaaaa

[autumn night]

All of them look soooo good

[versed wadi]

@autumn night as is mine 🙂

[clever minnow]

@versed wadi I rlly like how u placed those bikes

[grim cosmos]

mine is kinda close

[versed wadi]

@gusty stirrup what’s nearby?

[patent sky]

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

[shut lodge]

Make it a park dedicated to me ellesmere

[vast cradle]

Idk how to make my river look more natural, everything I try just makes it look worse. I realize I obviously have to decorate it and stuff, but any tips on how to make the shape better?

[clever minnow]

Scammer jail, nook cartel? Lmao

[gusty stirrup]

@versed wadi i have my campsite to the south, and then my secret beach is to the top right?

[glass laurel]

how are u guys so good

[versed wadi]

@clever minnow I’ve started placing bikes near a load of places on the island to give the impression that the bike hire is actually getting used.

[vocal wyvern]

does anyone have any camp site inspo?

[glass laurel]

my island looks ghetto

[zealous pendant]

@heavy summit I love your island

[deep saffron]

Someone tell me why Nintendo has cursed us with five wide houses 😭

[heavy summit]

Thanks

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine depends what’s connected to it. Whichever of those areas makes more sense
@versed wadi if it was in the center, it would have the museum area to the left and an elevated dig site to the right, and if it was on the left, the museum would be in the center. Keep in mind directly below the left area is going to be my shopping district, and directly below the center area is a heart shaped river with a small heart island in it, with bridges on 4 sides.

[versed wadi]

@gusty stirrup could you extend your campsite? Make a dining or recreation area for it? Or make a black market to give Redd some context for when he arrives (if he ever does).

[clever minnow]

@deep saffron Maybe instead of having an incline in the middle, have two on each side leading to the house in between

[compact wolf]

But we only get 8 inclines

[versed wadi]

@indigo ravine centre sound like it would give your island better flow 🙂

[clever minnow]

Yeah that’s the downside, I spent like 4 of them on my museum alone

[deep saffron]

@clever minnow I have thought about it, and I would have to use 4 of my inclines to do that bc it’s on the third level with waterfalls going all the way down

[gusty stirrup]

oooo the black market type thing sounds interesting, ty

[woven drift]

any good orchard layouts or inspo?

[patent sky]

@vocal wyvern here's my campsite

[versed wadi]

@vocal wyvern

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine centre sound like it would give your island better flow 🙂
@versed wadi that's what I was thinking, because then the museum would be near the shopping district.

[versed wadi]

I’m making a second beach front campsite atm as well

[vocal wyvern]

@vocal wyvern here's my campsite
@patent sky omg so cute thanks!!

@vocal wyvern
@versed wadi thanks so much i love them!!

[wise echo]

Trying to make a mushroom forest, any ideas on what items to add? ( I already have plenty of mush items)

[vast cradle]

Idk why I want to make a natural island, I'm just getting so frustrated lol

[jolly rose]

Anybody have a good shopping district?? I need inspirations

[patent sky]

Like market or nook/ables

[jolly rose]

yeah!

[patent sky]

Here's my market

[indigo ravine]

Tho it also makes sence to have the museum next to the dig site. Btw the dig site is connected to the campsite area, it's one big mountain

[patent sky]

Here's my nook/ables

[versed wadi]

@jolly rose my market is on the rocky bit of my beach at the back. The random landscape helps with making stuff look cluttered. (I need some better inventory though)

[jolly rose]

oohh I meant like Nooks Cranny and The able sisters

sorry for misunderstanding lmao

[compact wolf]

@patent sky
I love your island
Can I have it? /jks

[versed wadi]

My Nooks’ and Able’s flank my plaza on cliffs either side.

[woven drift]

Do you guys think jail bars would look good as fencing?

[indigo ravine]

@versed wadi Tho it also makes sence to have the museum next to the dig site. Btw the dig site is connected to the campsite area, it's one big mountain

[patent sky]

Sorry I'm only selling for Raymond's fleas (proof must be provided)

[vast cradle]

Do you guys think jail bars would look good as fencing?
@woven drift I think it depends on the context

[wide jackal]

hi

[versed wadi]

@indigo ravine sounds like wither place could work well. I like the idea of it being out in the ‘wilderness’ though. You’d need to take a hike to go reflect.

[distant moat]

Im back

[plucky compass]

how do you guys decorate so good,, i have no idea what to do for my airport ;-;

[woven drift]

Here. Should I remove this fencing and just use jail bars all around

[wide jackal]

trying to think of ideas of how to layout my island before moving houses and everything

[fervent jay]

im so happy witb my kitchen!! also i move this house and made it all nice!

[distant moat]

I think i'm litteraly the worst at decorating stuff haha-

[pseudo dock]

Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do for my island? 😦 I’m happy with the leaf lake, but that’s just about it.

[vast cradle]

@woven drift I wouldn't, tbh, but you never know unless you try

[fervent jay]

Here. Should I remove this fencing and just use jail bars all around
@woven drift it looks nice with rhat fencing!

[woven drift]

I see

Ty for the suggestion!

[distant moat]

Do you guys think i should expand the marketplace?

[patent sky]

They... are very different vibes

[wide jackal]

this how my island is laid out... trying to think but no inspiration

[long yew]

I've been watching Avatar last airbender that I decided to do a little relaxing tea area. Inspired by uncle iroh :)

[oblique vapor]

Ik this isn’t furniture trade but it seems no one ever responds to me in there so are any of you guys selling cushions or any lawn chairs beside pink, looking to buy or catalogue, I need it for a project I’m doing

[woven drift]

Do you guys think I should just make this field all blue roses or use another color

It’s like this for cloning purposes rn

[crisp thorn]

I’m starting to make a little market area in front of my rs. Any custom paths u think would look good here?

[fervent jay]

a light stone path or a white plank path maybe?

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine sounds like wither place could work well. I like the idea of it being out in the ‘wilderness’ though. You’d need to take a hike to go reflect.
@versed wadi the museum or the zen garden.

?

[versed wadi]

Sven garden

[indigo ravine]

Sven garden
@versed wadi I love sven in my garden

[versed wadi]

I hate autocorrect.

[crisp thorn]

@fervent jay I was thinking of this one maybe?

[vivid oasis]

Any ideas on how to continue this mess? I was thinking statues from redd but thats about ittt

[fervent jay]

yeah that one looks nice! another thing j like to do to make paths look cute is picking flowers and dropping em all over

[fluid perch]

What do you think

[fervent jay]

thats so pretty!!

i think a QA birdwing model or any big butterfly model would look really nice by the bushes as well

[indigo ravine]

I think for it to be in the wilderness, the side would make me walk from my entrance more.

[icy tulip]

I was inspired by everyone else’s cafes so I made my own. See everyone on Reddit!

[vivid nacelle]

Any ideas on where I could add more elevated sections on my map? I’m open to moving rivers too
The 4 scattered houses are moving to the bottom of the neighborhood I have already

I think I want it to feel more multi-level instead of one level with sections that are taller

[autumn night]

HOW ARE U GUYS SO CREATIVE!

[pastel scarab]

Does anyone have a pink brick panel code? Trying to build a 'castle' using the pink silos

[vast cradle]

@pastel scarab #custom-design-help🎨

[heady olive]

OK I NEED HELP WHICH PATTERN LOOKS BEST AJSHRVFJSFGH

[heavy summit]

Prepare the long range missile strike

[distant moat]

For the fossil stalls, which colors should i use? Dark and light brown or dark brown and white?

[fervent jay]

OK I NEED HELP WHICH PATTERN LOOKS BEST AJSHRVFJSFGH
@heady olive i rly like the second one!!

which do u prefer?

[heady olive]

I have no idea I’m so indecisive

LOL

[fervent jay]

me too lmao

[distant moat]

I think i'll do white and brown. Since the brown is meant to resemble the ground and white is supposed to resemble the fossils

[subtle idol]

nobody:
nintendo when i want to climb the fourth level of my island:
No! This is not how you're supposed to play the game!

[fervent jay]

its def a tie between the first two paths

[distant moat]

When in doubt, coin flip

Jkjk

[patent sky]

Top right

[manic lantern]

Anyone speak Japanese 😂

[woven drift]

does anyone have any orchard layout ideas? i have a bunch of fruit trees

[heady olive]

I mean true but what if: I hate it

[subtle idol]

my stump farm works too good

[distant moat]

My house looks so weird without the 60 trillion turnips

[subtle idol]

turnips are a mess

be like me: dont invest in stalk market but be poor

[compact wolf]

@heady olive
Top left will go well with your pastel one
The top right would also look if you wanted a bit of a darker look
The bottom 2 depends. Maybe the left near some water as it has a blue background. The bottom right if you’re after a darker look

[near carbon]

does anyone know how to make a BIG heart pond? i know there’s the 4x4 one or whatever, but is there a bigger one, or do i just scale it up?

[subtle idol]

scaling it up works

just remember, if its a 1 corner, make it a 2 corner

[modern halo]

Anyone got a nice big cafe

Area on their island

[subtle idol]

its not so much as big, but its nice

[modern halo]

Are those pans a craft able ?

[subtle idol]

yes

[modern halo]

Are you gonna change the bushes every season ?

[subtle idol]

probably

[indigo ravine]

So I just got an idea. Elevated museum area with two tall rounded mountains on either side, one side is my memory garden, while the other is a dig site. What do you think @versed wadi

[modern halo]

It looks nice and simple

[subtle idol]

ty

[versed wadi]

So I just got an idea. Elevated museum area with two tall rounded mountains on either side, one side is my memory garden, while the other is a dig site. What do you think @versed wadi
@indigo ravine sounds great!

[patent sky]

@manic lantern it says like "private commune fence"

[dusky wave]

guys what are some things you may find in a real life boardwalk area

[subtle idol]

...shops?

[patent sky]

I'm bad at translating but more like "privacy fence" or something idk ITS A FENCE YOU USE FOR PRIVACY

[dusky wave]

like a mall area other than shops

[primal ginkgo]

Any ideas for my star gazing spot?

[subtle idol]

looks nice, but maybe add some star fragments around it

[distant moat]

Marketplace 2.0

Yes i do plan on changing the paths the stalls are on.

[wraith veldt]

Anyone using the art statues as lawn ornament, let me kknow! I need some ideas

[vivid nacelle]

That's so cute!!

[subtle idol]

@primal ginkgo like this

[willow elm]

Finished my campsite and neighborhood

[primal ginkgo]

Ohhh yeah that could be cool

[versed wadi]

Any ideas for my star gazing spot?
@primal ginkgo That looks really cute 🙂

[vivid nacelle]

Is it just me or do yall also feel like everyone's island is better than your own lol

[distant moat]

Definitely not just you

[turbid sparrow]

Me also for sure

[vivid nacelle]

I feel like I change my plans everytime I check this channel oops

[turbid sparrow]

I can't tell if it's because my island actually sucks or I've just seen it so much I don't notice what's good about it anymore

[vivid nacelle]

Me too

[subtle idol]

beachside bar. I really like it. feedback?

[distant moat]

Yes my island is good but

Y'all are better.

[heavy summit]

U wanna have a backside to store ur drinks/make it

As of now its just a table

[subtle idol]

the bartender is a bit late. He forgot his stuff. those are empty mugs

(also known as an excuse for me to say its not done)

[indigo ravine]

@versed wadi I'll see if it can get a layed out island on happy island designer soon

[slate glade]

Does anyone know of any flat map layouts??

[turbid sparrow]

@subtle idol you can place like a bartender outfit and it'll make a mannequin to make it sorta look like there's a bartender

[heavy summit]

why ask for feedback if ur just gonna deflect everything

[hollow bramble]

how many non-fruit bearing trees is the minimum to get your 2 pieces of furniture and bells?

[wraith veldt]

Anyone got any garden stautes?

[round compass]

Yo my island really is coming together I just need a lot more flowers and need ideas to have more places

Like I need some furniture so I can make stuff like arcades and stuff

[patent sky]

TranSition from land to beach bar could be smoother as well

@wraith veldt yes

Also

[indigo ravine]

@wraith veldt yes
@patent sky mind if I use that for inspo? It's really beautiful!

[turbid sparrow]

@patent sky Do you have a link on hand to those flower info signs? I've seen them before and think I could make use of em

[subtle idol]

@heavy summit im sorry if it felt that way. im not done with most things and if i post a pic here it's because I want feedback. I really have no idea why i said that im bored and couldnt think of anything else to say. I'm working on it! Thanks.

[patent sky]

Sure I don't mind @indigo ravine

@turbid sparrow

[distant moat]

Honestly i want to change the custom design of the stalls since they look kinda boring. But i dont have any design ideas. Anyone have any suggestions?

[indigo ravine]

Sure I don't mind @indigo ravine
@patent sky thanks a bunch!

[wraith veldt]

@patent sky

[turbid sparrow]

sweet ty

[wraith veldt]

Is that part of a garden or retreat?

[heavy summit]

U gotta ask for any new ideas instead of feedback, new ideas = add more things that could work, feedback is critiquing what u have so far

[turbid sparrow]

@distant moat Have you gotten the patterns from mabel yet? those give a ton of options

[wraith veldt]

Just curious so I can form some ideas

[opal bough]

@hollow bramble 17.
2 furniture. 10 bells. 5 wasps.

[distant moat]

I dont think i have.

[turbid sparrow]

just talk to mabel every day and eventually she gives you patterns to use for customization

[distant moat]

Aight

[turbid sparrow]

keep talking to her each day till she stops giving them then you have em all

[frozen lark]

*Sable

[turbid sparrow]

they can be used with basically anything that has customizable cloth

oh yeah sable oops

[indigo ravine]

I'm very excited. (Bit of backstory first) [so I restarted my game. I had a 4 star island, but I hated the resident services layout and despised the airport location.] Tommorow resident services is gonna be under construction, which means I'm only a few days away from getting star ratings, which should be a 3 soon.

[vivid nacelle]

(and then talk to her anyways because she's great)

[turbid sparrow]

got them mixed up

[brittle isle]

[woven drift]

u should make a garden in the shape of a moon somehow

[turbid sparrow]

@brittle isle Do you want it to connect on the left or all the way down at the bottom river mouth?

[distant moat]

Now i cant stop listening to him sing help

[brittle isle]

the circle on the right is gonna be a moon lake eventually ;) just not yet done

bottom right river ! otherwise it'd be too crowded

[merry bough]

Any advice on a digsite??

[turbid sparrow]

hmm I guess it could just sorta weave back and forth till it gets down there

[floral topaz]

im doing a field of orange hyc:)

[turbid sparrow]

adjust it to fit whatever else you wanna fit in

[versed wadi]

@brittle isle nice rivers. That's looking great!

[brittle isle]

@merry bough one idea i have for a digsite is adding that skull radio

[distant moat]

You guys are so good i can't-

[merry bough]

@turbid sparrow Ohh ok gotcha

[brittle isle]

thanks ! n i guess ill try that out yes

[full lynx]

my island looks like trashhh and I seriously need some helppp lol

[merry bough]

@brittle isle seems like a good idea I'll try I out!

[brittle isle]

i solely want to make a digsite just so i can use that radio LMAO

[unkempt tusk]

anybody have a 5 star island me and my friend can tour? :))

[civic citrus]

Just finished my shops!

[heavy summit]

@merry bough u can add a fossil in furniture form and add cliffs around it like its being excavated

[merry bough]

@civic citrus nice!

[turbid sparrow]

I can't get over that statue

[civic citrus]

@merry bough thank you! 🥺💕

[merry bough]

@heavy summit ohhh I see I don't have a HST much space though to work!

[turbid sparrow]

can't get over the fact that there's a statue with a fully visible willy in an animal crossing game lol

[wraith veldt]

Me neither

[mild patio]

Looking for improvements ! 🌸

It looks kinda plain rn but I’m planning to add flowers.
What flowers would look good ? Any thing to add ?
Help me 😰

[heavy summit]

Put the two statues facing each other side by side

[woven drift]

Those David statues are so gigantic, I had to move them away from the museum because it was making the whole look so small....the museum not the willy

[vivid nacelle]

Looking for ideas on how to make the geography more interesting-- my plan right now is to have the river go past the bottom of the museum cliff

Thoughts on where I could add interesting cliff sections/inclines?

[distant moat]

I cant stop listening to him send help

[turbid sparrow]

I spent a full 30 mins listening to my villagers sing last night it's ok

[mild patio]

I agree that it looks rlly big lmaoo. What statue should I put instead of that huge one? 👀 @woven drift

[hollow bramble]

me me me way me oh way me oh oh way

[wraith veldt]

Aren't most of the atatues the same size?

[versed wadi]

@merry bough I turned my dig site into a little camp for an overworked palaeontologist.

[woven drift]

@mild patio Beautiful Statue 🙂

[heavy summit]

U actually let ur villager sing?

[placid dove]

can’t decide which one I want. DM opinions please!

[turbid sparrow]

I vote bridge

[subtle idol]

bridge because y e s

[unkempt tusk]

bridge!

[hollow bramble]

I always go bridge

[versed wadi]

If you have the spare bridges, then bridge 🙂

[vivid nacelle]

I like either the second one or the bridge

[mild patio]

B r i d g e

[brittle isle]

i like the second one tbh as long as the path continues on the other side

[turbid sparrow]

bridge is more convenient also since you don't get slowed down hopping

[placid dove]

I think I’m gonna go with the bridge then. thank you!!

[heavy summit]

But it cost money

Go cheap

[brittle isle]

as of rn i dont have a single incline or bridge on my island

but im still terraforming </3

[frosty spruce]

i reached my 8 inclines far too fast lol

[turbid sparrow]

I've torn down and rebuilt quite a few bridges and inclines

[acoustic flint]

If you guys have anything pink please let me know

[turbid sparrow]

thankfully I got that sweet sweet turnip cash to pay for it

[mild patio]

I have like 4 inclines that I want to change 🗿🔪

[jovial light]

My take on the city scape

[wraith veldt]

Omg! ❤️

[distant moat]

Damn!

[turbid sparrow]

Waaah servers for buildings that's brilliant

[twin hamlet]

wow the TVs outside look cool

[versed wadi]

Diana's making the flat Garden Rock on my island if anyone needs?

[jovial light]

Any suggestions on what else I should add?

[heavy summit]

@patent sky heres is an example of pure look and no function

[uncut spindle]

Does anyone know any furniture items that you can walk through? I can only think of the floor light

[hollow bramble]

Finalizing my designed layout, any critiques or feedback would be super appreciated. Grey pathing is hedge fences. flowers will be lining roads and paths and rivers where there are open squares. the museum is the only high elevation.

[heavy summit]

Man hole

[heavy summit]

Arches, leafpile(and variants)

[quartz gulch]

finally got my little area fixed up 🥰

[arctic temple]

Any ideas as to what to fill up the rest of this space up with?

[umbral pilot]

Hi all! Do you guys have like a residential area or are all the villager’s houses more spread out?

[distant moat]

I'm gonna work on my island. Wish me luck.

[bitter inlet]

both @umbral pilot

[brittle isle]

spread out

eventually*

[turbid sparrow]

spread out for me

[uncut spindle]

@heavy summit thank you, you don't know any others do you?

[bitter inlet]

I put three in my bamboo forest village, and the rest are throughout my waterfall village

[heavy summit]

Thats all i know

[mild patio]

@arctic temple maybe put some stone lion-dogs or tall lanterns

[versed wadi]

Hi all! Do you guys have like a residential area or are all the villager’s houses more spread out?
@umbral pilot A mixture of the two, I base where my home's go based on their exteriors. E.g. all the townhouses are in a residential district, but the cabins are alone out in the woods. 🙂

[long rose]

Anyone have ideas of a park!?

[brittle isle]

im dividing my villagers into the sunny area or the moon area. idk what my criteria exactly is but design n personality

[wraith veldt]

How do you guys use gold roses?

[manic lantern]

@wraith veldt Use a golden watering can on black roses

[uncut spindle]

@manic lantern use not get

[wraith veldt]

No, I mean like decorating wise

[potent nebula]

I don’t suppose there’s a gallery here? I need to come up with a nice entrance to my island and would love some pictures to get some inspiration.

[uncut spindle]

@wraith veldt I just have them at my entrance to flex lol

[eager kite]

can someone tell me what to put on top of a waterfall besides flowers?

[turbid sparrow]

I use them by putting them in a corner while I try to figure out how to use them

[subtle idol]

bushes

[bitter inlet]

@eager kite trees, shrubs, rocks (garden, tall, flat), decoy ducks

[tawdry widget]

@arctic temple flowers and statues 🙂

[bitter inlet]

and log stakes

[versed wadi]

@potent nebula You can use the search for "has:images entrance" . most people label up their posts 🙂

[eager kite]

thanks!!:)

[late valve]

What else can i add for my prison entrance?

[subtle idol]

WOW thats original

[bitter inlet]

put a guard of some sort

[wraith veldt]

Warning signs

[subtle idol]

a wanted sign

[bitter inlet]

like a statue or decoy duck for fun

[late valve]

Right

[bitter inlet]

or a turtle

[turbid sparrow]

fence in one of your villagers there to make them stand guard forever lol

[heavy summit]

Someone say prison?

[subtle idol]

it doesnt work that way

[subtle idol]

villagers teleport

[vast moth]

made a little music area if villagers wanna sing!!

[woven drift]

Guys i need help with ideas for some hangout spots and like cool things to make on my map. I’m really running out of ideas .

[vast moth]

although its not very accessable rn, i gotta make more bridges n stuff

[bitter inlet]

add a mic~

[vast moth]

there is a mic lmao

[subtle idol]

screw it time to make some graves

[bitter inlet]

oh wait

lol I couldn’t see it

[subtle idol]

im gonna make a graveyard with all my villagers who moved out :(

[vast moth]

lol yeah it is kinda camofladged

[bitter inlet]

that’s so morbid :0 @subtle idol

[turbid sparrow]

Considering putting my villager's portraits outside their houses to mark them, thoughts?

[dapper notch]

This look good?

[shut lodge]

Reminds me of the person who made a graveyard using the villager framed photos

[vivid nacelle]

Turtle guards for your prison!

[vast moth]

yeah that looks great!!

[dapper notch]

Ty

[subtle idol]

no, use signs like this. @turbid sparrow

it saves SO MUCH TIME

[thorny vector]

anyone have any good spaced out neighborhood pictures?

[bitter inlet]

but it takes up 10 slots

[turbid sparrow]

how so? if I already have the portraits that sounds like it'd take longer haha

and yeah it'd suck up all my design slots

[subtle idol]

what else am i gonna do with my slots

[uncut spindle]

What do I add in here? They're on the path to my museum. (supposed to be inaccessible by visitors)

[bitter inlet]

if u wanna know my villager, read their sign or look at the map 😤 lmao

[vivid nacelle]

You could add a custom path that looks like animal footprints

[subtle idol]

WHY DOES A STONE ARCH TAKE 90 STONES?

[vast moth]

add some funky lanterns/light sources!

[heavy summit]

Cause its big

[bitter inlet]

y does tall garden rock need 60

[uncut spindle]

I've already got quite a few lights on the path itself

And I've also got 2 streetlamps up there

[turbid sparrow]

I made 6 tall garden rocks then changed my mind about using them

[vivid oasis]

I been trying to save up for the stone arch too 😭

[turbid sparrow]

my poor rock supply

[subtle idol]

no i just dont wanna use all my fricking rocks in my storage

[bitter inlet]

I made one today for my zen garden, I have 4 stone now

[latent bear]

Can I see everyone’s museum entrance/area? Needing some inspiration 😅

[turbid sparrow]

my museum entrance doesn't fit into a picture D:

[dapper notch]

Same

[subtle idol]

the only real pain is when you had to get 30 IRON NUGGETS FOR THE SHOP AAAA

[uncut spindle]

I have like 10 stacks of iron nuggets now

[subtle idol]

now its super easy to do that but at the start it was absolutely disgusting

[vivid oasis]

[uncut spindle]

The real struggle is hardwood

[opaque gust]

the real struggle for me is just regular wood

[turbid sparrow]

for me the struggle is regular wood

[subtle idol]

no the real struggle is regular wood

[uncut spindle]

For me it's both

[turbid sparrow]

softwood though? Got like 300 of that lol

[heavy summit]

More recipe uses regular wood than any other wood

[vivid oasis]

Wood and stone are my struuggle

[pearl topaz]

[subtle idol]

i have a ton of softwood

[empty sphinx]

Softwood is so annoying

[empty sphinx]

[vivid nacelle]

[bitter inlet]

clay on the other hand

[pearl topaz]

i am struggling

[uncut spindle]

Like who wants those stupid block furniture things ugh

[subtle idol]

i have like 9999 clay

[turbid sparrow]

I traded 16 stacks of clay for 10 gold nuggets a while back lol

[pallid arrow]

What’s the best way to make terraforming look natural? My cliffs and rivers/pond look really chunky

[vivid oasis]

I been putting off on starting to get my rock garden done so I dont gotta hunt my rocks down everyday

[bitter inlet]

I’m still sad my og villager is stuck with wooden block furniture

[heavy summit]

Theres people who actually use NMT just to visit an island, see the villager and leave. Instead of farming the resources

[uncut spindle]

@pallid arrow I think there's a guide pinned

[subtle idol]

ouch whoever paid the 10 gold nuggets mustve been really desperate

[versed wadi]

ah I feel like it won’t be the same if I re invite them though

[vivid nacelle]

Why do I have more bamboo than dang wood

[subtle idol]

why do i not have bamboo yet

[hidden kindle]

agree, but her real house decor is an autumn forest.... 😭

[vivid nacelle]

Taxe I have bamboo starts if you want some

[wraith veldt]

What would be considered more rare? Gold roses or lily of the valley?

[subtle idol]

Y E S

[vivid oasis]

I got 9 seeds you can have lol

[heavy summit]

Lily of the valley

[uncut spindle]

@wraith veldt blue roses are rarer than both

[subtle idol]

yay yay yay yay

[vivid oasis]

I wanna say gold cause I thought the lily was easy to get

[bitter inlet]

u get like one lily of the valley every day or two

[heavy summit]

U can easily spawn gold roses, u cant spawn lilies on ur own

[turbid sparrow]

probably lily of the valley? since you can brute force gold roses with sheer quantity of black roses

[versed wadi]

agree, but her real house decor is an autumn forest.... 😭
@hidden kindle Poppy's interior would be worth cycling her out and back in IMO, she has my favourite house in the game 🙂

[heavy summit]

But lilies are useless, so take that as u will

[hidden kindle]

@versed wadi omg poppy has the same interior as deirdre!! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/animalcrossing/images/9/9b/DeirdreNHin.jpeg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20200512103744

omg thats adorbs

Not my pic, but this is the house my Shari was cheated out of

@hidden kindle nice, there's some subtle difference, I can't see the marshmallow campfire that Poppy has (That's my favourite bit)

[vivid oasis]

I had her as an OG

[smoky cove]

@hidden kindle not a forest, but you should see floras house. See has water flooring that makes ripples

[wraith veldt]

Yeah, that starter villager crap is BS

[hidden kindle]

i LOVE flora's house, and she has little penguins standing around the water haha

[turbid sparrow]

I'm missing out on this house because sprinkle was my 3rd https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/animalcrossing/images/f/fe/Sprinkle_House.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200425162310

@turbid sparrow RIP

[smoky cove]

@hidden kindle she had white flamingos in her house when i had her

[wraith veldt]

Omg ❤️

[turbid sparrow]

instead she just has wooden block stuff

[bitter inlet]

omg the 3rd is different too?

[wraith veldt]

The first 5 are

[turbid sparrow]

first 5 all have generic houses

[hidden kindle]

my fauna also has a basic house, her normal one isnt much better but like... why 😢

[bitter inlet]

my flora had a cute bedroom

[grim cosmos]

freda ur cute

[hidden kindle]

nonsense

[grim cosmos]

aaawww

[hidden kindle]

shes so cute 😢

[bitter inlet]

she moved from my island last week, which is a shame but I gotta get my dreamies

[floral topaz]

sprinkles has the same layout too

[smoky cove]

Not my image but this was her room . She only had the two white flamingos

Maybe its cause i had her amiibo?

[edgy lichen]

Any river advice? Only part of the map I don’t plan on redoing is the top left where home is

[heavy summit]

First 5 villagers get shit houses

[bitter inlet]

u could have a more natural river if u wanted

[edgy lichen]

Yeah I’m going to round it out after I figure out where to expand it

[smoky cove]

@edgy lichen if you're trying to keep that U shape i would go randomly to different sides. Makes it wider and curve the edges

@edgy lichen basically add creases

[edgy lichen]

Where would be the best areas to spread out the houses? I wanna change up from the neighborhood style

[bitter inlet]

I’m a sucker for natural themes, I have waterfalls and plants everywhere lol

[floral topaz]

im so in love with my pottery area

[versed wadi]

I think Dobie has now lost his mind! Anyone know what he's signing?

[grim cosmos]

imma make a giant tunnel thing to the private beach but it's gonna b like a old town vibe strip down to the private beach

dobie is broken

[bitter inlet]

Dobie is spitting bars

[hidden kindle]

im so in love with my pottery area
@floral topaz it looks great!! well done!

[smoky cove]

@bitter inlet I'm trying to make mine mountain like this. But i think i may change the plans

[floral topaz]

@hidden kindle thx u it was very spontaneous

[bitter inlet]

a mountain trail is cool

[fierce night]

I'm proud of my celestial lookout spot!

[grim cosmos]

i'm still laughing at dobie

[hidden kindle]

I was looking for inspiration for my island and o found this, not mine at all, but i had to share it 😂
@nocturne zenith i am dying

[smoky cove]

@nocturne zenith lol nice. It took me a sec to see it

[wraith veldt]

Anyone got more small but fanct gardens to share?

[oblique vapor]

@fierce night you should be!!

[heavy summit]

Dont worry about the minimap layout too much, people usually play with that off

[bitter inlet]

I have mine on 24/7...

[heavy summit]

I have it to not get lost on other peoples island

[spice epoch]

How long does it take to make waterfalls ?

[distant moat]

I need design ideas for a waterfall

[fierce night]

@fierce night you should be!!
@oblique vapor thank you! 😁

[hidden kindle]

How long does it take to make waterfalls ?
@spice epoch depends how good at aiming you are, and how indecicive you are

[frozen axle]

wheres the water

[heavy summit]

As long as the island looks good, it doesnt really matter what the minimap looks like

[smoky cove]

@spice epoch not long. Depending on the detailing. You just hit the cliff on the edge while standing on the same level cliff(stand on the level you want the waterfall)

[spice epoch]

@spice epoch depends how good at aiming you are, and how indecicive you are
@hidden kindle pretty good just need like a brief video example 🙂

[bitter inlet]

having a lot of water is cool but I feel like u have no room for actual areas

[somber dust]

What do you guys think about this idea, it kinda transitions from the city to a forest/campsite. Ignore the buildings in the background. I just want your thoughts!

[smoky cove]

@spice epoch but then again..this is coming for the same person who spent an hour on 1/8 of the map lol

[bitter inlet]

I spend hours on a single acre lol

[old pond]

@somber dust I like it!!

nothing special

Is there any video that shows a whole island tutorial on terraforming your island? I wanna terraform but I probably need a guide

[woven drift]

that looks amazing @orchid topaz

Oh thank you

[smoky cove]

@floral topaz that's my goal..but i dont think it will happen. I keep procrastinating on my terraforming plans

@oblique willow well done!!

[oblique willow]

@fringe thicket I personally like the brick bridge just a little more , but it’s your choice at the end of the day! :D

@hidden kindle Thank you!!!

[pearl topaz]

anyone have suggestions on how to split my island into 3 sections? those red path lines are "bus stops" i'm adding so it feels like different areas each place you go to

and the big brown path line is a boardwalk thing that bridges all 3 sections together

[fringe thicket]

Ya i wished there was like a different bridge i could use but like i guess the brick does look smoother especially cos the zen one is totally off theme

[oblique willow]

@pearl topaz Ahh I’m no professional but having different layers (levels) could definitely add dimension.

@fringe thicket Yeah, I just feel like it matched your paths more, lol!

[elder osprey]

@pearl topaz maybe try making one section into a neighborhood? and use trees and paths to make it look more natural

[ivory flare]

i'm resetting my island

[oblique willow]

Good luck, brave soldier.

[pearl topaz]

not mine (found on pinterest) but i'm thinking something like this

where everyone is closeby but not near each other, and the right amount of rural and urban

[ivory flare]

i've resestted about 4 times, just did not like the layout and having to change it all would take weeks

[woven drift]

Any thought 🥺👉👈

[ivory flare]

should i spread houses apart or make them close togetehr?

@rose widget How big of a space do you have?

[oblique willow]

@ivory flare It really depends on the theme you prefer. I’ve seen more urban areas have homes close together whereas rural areas seem more random and spread apart. Both are pretty!

[rose widget]

@versed wadi right now I've got whole left side of map and also some mid sections.

[versed wadi]

@rare rock first off, I love that theme idea, you need to keep me updated, second off, I think you should add signs and stuff. There’s this cool camp sign from the pocket camp games that would look really good there.

[supple remnant]

it took forever to get it even
@elder osprey they really need to change that into a grid snap or something. I’ve messed up trying to make houses even and it’s silly that you would have to wait to move a house again if you mess up

[wicked ether]

Or a park central

Or a golf course

I’ll take advice!

[floral topaz]

dont do it

i did it

[oblique vapor]

I agree with @floral topaz

[devout spruce]

This is what it looks like now but I’m not feeling it. I always forget about my villagers on the left

So scatter them about?

[manic lantern]

You guys asked for it 😍

[small sluice]

Don’t do it, but if you are gonna do it then give the villagers lots of room for backyards, I made this mistake and it was really boring. Having the villagers on their own allows room for som much creativity, like yards and stuff.

[wet cliff]

Anybody have entryways through cliffs into spaces behind kind of like this? Doesn't have to look like this but I'm struggling on how to make an entrance to a valley

[devout spruce]

@small sluice ah ok, i like that. thank you!!

[small sluice]

No problem

[modern elbow]

@pearl topaz

[small sluice]

I have examples if you want.

[devout spruce]

ill take some examples, yea!

[small sluice]

@manic lantern’s island makes mine look like ****

Ok

[opaque bronze]

I plan to keep a few in a neighborhood (mainly ones that have matching houses or I can’t think of anything extravagant to do for their yards) the rest I’m going to spread out

[primal ginkgo]

Waaaa I wish I had more pattern slots. I’m literally debating what to get rid of and keep now lol

[devout spruce]

@manic lantern that is gorgeous!

[pearl topaz]

thats really cool! i like that they're hoppable so you can access the other parts of the island still

without a bridge

[versed wadi]

@opaque bronze That's pretty much what I did. 3 villagers that have townhouses live in a little village. The rest have a themed area somewhere on my map 🙂

[turbid sparrow]

I'm only just now starting to look for patterns and I already feel like I'm not gonna have enough slots lol

[manic lantern]

all credits to cloudy not my island btw guys lol

[modern elbow]

Yeah 🙂 the whole island is accessible without pole or ladder

[small sluice]

I give villagers little environments based on their perspectiveity and look, I have this villager named sprocket who’s a robot so I gave him an evil robot workshop lair.

[modern elbow]

And you can’t get lost if you just follow the path

[small sluice]

My island is only sheep + Raymond but silence and idk what to do for the overall aesthetic since it's mostly sheep

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine It looks dope!
@versed wadi thanks a bunch! It really turned out amazing. Now I just need to get a 3 star island. I'm going to hit the hay now.

Goodnight everyone!

[distant moat]

Gn!

[small sluice]

@glacial matrix you could give it a farm theme?

I built a farm I could send a pic

[wet cliff]

Ooh yes share farm pics

[small sluice]

Ok

[oblique vapor]

Sorry for bad vid quality lol

Oops

[glacial matrix]

I think a farm theme seems odd imo

[versed wadi]

That's me dashing through my farm area 🙂

[small sluice]

My farm, still wip

[zealous pendant]

It’s so pretty tho

[wet cliff]

Ooh I like!

[oblique vapor]

What do you guys think of my museum cafe ( which is right next to my museum) and my concert venue area! Shoutout to lulu bells for helping me out with ideas.

[wet cliff]

Your island is so charming @versed wadi

[zealous pendant]

The above is not mine . This is mine

Oh I lied this is my updated

[wet cliff]

Ahh I should do the placed shovel too

[manic lantern]

@dapper sedge That cemetery is so damn good

[quasi galleon]

@zealous pendant you improved 😍

[manic lantern]

LOL

[small sluice]

Can someone give me one of those customisable pillows?

[manic lantern]

okay thats nice but can I get some turtle beach inspo

[versed wadi]

@wet cliff Thanks. That region is my favourite bit 🙂

[gilded nacelle]

Here's the entrance to my island.

[oblique vapor]

Can you guys watch the video I sent? I really need some feed back lol

[small sluice]

Amazing

[dapper sedge]

@dapper sedge That cemetery is so damn good
@manic lantern only the best for my mur..err voided villagers :p

[unique pond]

hi guys! anyone have any inspo for a recessed digsite? like a hole in the mountain type of thing? 🙂

[small sluice]

@oblique vapor it’s got some real potential, it just feels a bit empty

[versed wadi]

@unique pond Your dig-site is already great! What are you planning? I'm intrigued!

[zealous pendant]

Turtle beach inspo- @manic lantern it’s under renovation

@versed wadi i'm planning to MOVE IT ENTIRELY! hahahaha. was thinking of what to do for Lucky, and felt giving him a graveyard is a little too overdone (also yours is the best). wondering if it's possible if i make him like the foreman of a rock quarry!

[zealous pendant]

@dapper sedge you need more bugs

[iron sluice]

@indigo ravine love how you just got rid of the lakes, i kinda wanna do that too now

[manic lantern]

I love that orchard

[cobalt finch]

HI, How do I make my island 3 star!!

As I’m still stuck in 1 Star 😦

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine love how you just got rid of the lakes, i kinda wanna do that too now
@iron sluice I do still have water flowing from the river mouth, instead of just shutting it off

[pearl topaz]

how big do you guys make your lakes without making them unmanagable? i want something that sticks out in the map but not something that requires a bridge

[small sluice]

@cobalt finch talk to Isabelle and do what she tells you to do, also, consider using flowers and hedges.

[indigo ravine]

how big do you guys make your lakes without making them unmanagable? i want something that sticks out in the map but not something that requires a bridge
@pearl topaz you could make 'stepping stones' out of 1×1 plots of land

I love that orchard
@manic lantern you talking about me?

[gaunt orbit]

Best path for zen garden? Would you guys go sand or grass ?

[manic lantern]

yeah yours is nice

[versed wadi]

@unique pond - Great idea! where's the location, are you going straight down from in the middle of a level, or approaching it from off the side/front?

[small sluice]

@gaunt orbit custom rocks

McGibbon is like literally our god. We all look to him for advice

He's the uncle that we all wish we had

McGibbon is my religion
@small sluice ME

[small sluice]

@versed wadi please can I tour your island?

I would be honoured.

[unique pond]

i basically have this entire red circled area to work with! will probably need to move his house away while terraforming, then move it back. right now i'm wondering if the quarry should be on level 1, then his house on level 2, then i kind of use level 3 for additional depth. but i really dunno if it's gonna work! @versed wadi

@unique pond in a good way😉

[woven drift]

Hi im about to get terascaping can anyone let me look around theres

[unique pond]

@indigo ravine thank you! haha i never thought about it that way... been staring at it so long that it feels like nothing special. as you can see, i can't afford to build any more bridges and inclines yet. 😛

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine thank you! haha i never thought about it that way... been staring at it so long that it feels like nothing special. as you can see, i can't afford to build any more bridges and inclines yet. 😛
@unique pond it still looks absolutely incredible

[woven drift]

I’m making a little mushroom forest area where my player character houses are

[unique pond]

@woven drift i love this so much! can't wait to do a mush forest area for one of my villagers when fall comes ❤️

[woven drift]

Has anyone got a rustic layout i can see

[indigo ravine]

I’m making a little mushroom forest area where my player character houses are
@woven drift I'm doing something similar to that for my home area as well. Great minds do think alike!

[woven drift]

I loved all the mushroom forests

They’re so fun to make too! Definitely recommend adding one!

[small sluice]

@unique pond here’s my quarry, it’s small but it does the trick.

[pearl topaz]

I like your rounded paths @woven drift , do you just round each side?

[unique pond]

@small sluice omg! that's super cute and pretty much exactly what i had in mind... just that i'm imagining it a whole lot bigger for my villager haha

[small sluice]

There’s also a “mysterious stain” under the skull that ties into my islands storyline. 😊

[woven drift]

Yeah just make little squares and round it

@small sluice HAHA! perfect touch!

[indigo ravine]

My quarry/dig site is gonna be very large, with a "base camp" at the bottom of the island that contains ladders, as I ran out of bridge space on my island. I think it will work great tho.

[versed wadi]

@unique pond this sounds like it's gonna be good!

[unique pond]

@indigo ravine this sounds superb!

[small sluice]

Indeed

[brisk sail]

i wish buildings could be turned sideways

[unique pond]

@versed wadi really hope it pans out! haha. i'm almost done with kabuki's area, just need to decorate it more 🙂

[small sluice]

AMAZING IDEA! 😨 You could use a second account to make a tent inside of the quarry!

[versed wadi]

I'd litter it with tools, toolshelves etc 🙂

[late valve]

Need inspiration for shopping district

[unique pond]

@small sluice this... is a genius idea!

[versed wadi]

@small sluice Second tent down there is a GREAT idea!

[small sluice]

THANKS GUYS!

IM SO EXCITED

[junior burrow]

I need help, - so my island is natural themed. And my RS is close to the airport, but off Centered, I want it to be incased in cliffs with waterfalls e.t.c, but it is too close to look good. My idea, is a bit different and unique! - I want to curve the path left into the beach. Then have a really detailed beach. Then using fences and custom paths, snake the trail back to land, goijng straight to my shopping place, left to my football pitch and right to my RS. Should I do it??

(Plz read and answer - I don’t know what to do)

[versed wadi]

@small sluice I just started work so the Switch is docked downstairs out of the way for… er… reasons. But you are definitely welcome to visit when we're both online.

[small sluice]

@junior burrow can you send a pic please?

[unique pond]

@junior burrow sounds very interesting and detailed!! would love to see this happen!

[small sluice]

@versed wadi I am incredibly excited to visit your town.

[lone sun]

i have a huge open space any ideas?

[versed wadi]

@unique pond Can't wait to see Genji's area. I really wanted him but ran out of space at the back of the island to give him a suitable home. I'm pleased he's in your hands 🙂

[small sluice]

Omg, removing large areas of flowers is soooo tedious!

[unique pond]

eh, i don't think i took Genji from you!! haha i have kabuki 🙂 found him on a mystery island

[indigo ravine]

Further detail on my resident services area.

[versed wadi]

@junior burrow Do it! Do it! Do it!

[indigo ravine]

@unique pond Can't wait to see Genji's area. I really wanted him but ran out of space at the back of the island to give him a suitable home. I'm pleased he's in your hands 🙂
@versed wadi I had genji on my old island. I miss him

[junior burrow]

This it is now, there is no room to go into the residence bit, it is in between the cliff, so my new plan would be snaking it into the beach, then up by the one house on the bottom left! (Football pitch, then a natural junction allowing you to go to RS shops, or beach!

[unique pond]

@indigo ravine i had chester... i miss him but beau > chester hahaha ok sorry off topic. and yup i gotta get back to work. time to close discord.

[versed wadi]

Sorry I meant Kabuki, I get him and Genji muddled all the time.

[small sluice]

I really want kabuki. 😔

[indigo ravine]

What do ya think of my plan for the shopping district? Any suggestions for the 4th shop and able sisters area?

[unique pond]

@indigo ravine i always like nature more, so if it were a plant/flower shop or orchard or greenhouse kinda theme that would be sooo nice! hehe

[lone sun]

what kind of little areas do you guys have on your island? i have so much room and not enough ideas

[dapper sedge]

i want raymond so me and marshall can bury him in the cemetry.

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine i always like nature more, so if it were a plant/flower shop or orchard or greenhouse kinda theme that would be sooo nice! hehe
@unique pond a flower shop! I might do that, knowing how many floral decorations are in the game.

[small sluice]

I have a quick question for everyone, how did it feel when you “finished” your island?

[indigo ravine]

I have a quick question for everyone, how did it feel when you “finished” your island?
@small sluice still dont know

[junior burrow]

I made a small garden yesterday

[small sluice]

It’s so pretty!

[junior burrow]

Thanks!

[indigo ravine]

Do yall like my school area? I felt that was a nice place to put the playground and soccer field.

[junior burrow]

And this library

I’m making a Main Street on the beach with outside shops!

[small sluice]

I really like it, how did you get the bookshelves?

[junior burrow]

It’s looking quite good atm

I’m bought them😅

[indigo ravine]

What should I do for my able sisters area? Any suggestions?

[small sluice]

I’m stumped

[west marsh]

Anyone have any good ideas for island entrance? Preferably with benches and a fountain / vending machines

[versed wadi]

I have a quick question for everyone, how did it feel when you “finished” your island?
@small sluice Yeah, I'm still not there either

[small sluice]

I haven’t finished it I just feel I’m getting quite close.

[hexed dune]

smh my island is 1star😩

[versed wadi]

I've got two land masses near my beaches to develop and then I know there's a load of stuff around the island I want to improve with better decoration.

It's an iterative process

[small sluice]

I’ve been stuck on 4 star for too long. Apparently it lacks “appealing scenery” and I try to get more but 😩

[devout spruce]

i got 5 stars and the lily of the valley a few times and i still feel like im not done. CRY.

[indigo ravine]

I personally think you can never be fully "finished" in this game. There is always gonna be more updates, as well as more ideas you will have.

[small sluice]

Yeah

[indigo ravine]

I’ve been stuck on 4 star for too long. Apparently it lacks “appealing scenery” and I try to get more but 😩
@small sluice THAT WAS ME BEFORE I RESET.
I liked my island, but I felt like something was missing, hopefully this new island layout will get 5 stars.

[indigo pike]

i just restarted lol

[small sluice]

I’ve been thinking of resetting. But I’m too attached to my current island.

[indigo ravine]

i just restarted lol
@indigo pike I restarted on thursday( 4 days ago)

[devout spruce]

anyone have any cute garden area ideas? mines a hot mess rn

[small sluice]

Flowers. Shrubs. E V E R Y W H E R E!

Make sure you always put different flowers next to each other.

[indigo ravine]

I’ve been thinking of resetting. But I’m too attached to my current island.
@small sluice another big reason I reset was because my resident services and airport were in places I hated them, I spent 2 and a half hours soft resetting to get my ideal island layout from timmy and Tommy in the opening airport

So now I'm pleased

[small sluice]

When I make gardens I never put the same 2 flowers together.

[devout spruce]

hmm good to know

[indigo ravine]

What do you think of Heart 2.0 island's centerpiece, the hybrid flower island?

[small sluice]

@indigo ravine That’s good to hear, my big reason is that I picked a bad island layout but this is my first ac game so it has huge sentimental stuff if that makes any sense.

[indigo ravine]

@indigo ravine That’s good to hear, my big reason is that I picked a bad island layout but this is my first ac game so it has huge sentimental stuff if that makes any sense.
@small sluice I totally get that. This is my first animal crossing game too. It broke my heart having to say goodbye to my villagers, and funnily enough one of them came back as one of my 2 starting villagers, but now I'm stuck with rocket.

[small sluice]

There are literally no good gorillas.

[dapper sedge]

@indigo ravine That’s good to hear, my big reason is that I picked a bad island layout but this is my first ac game so it has huge sentimental stuff if that makes any sense.
@small sluice there are no mistakes only adjustments.

[distant moat]

I added flowers to my waterfall. Thoughts?

[dapper sedge]

There are literally no good gorillas.
@small sluice only rocket

[small sluice]

Well yeah, I guess making the most out of a bad layout is something to feel good about.

[indigo ravine]

@small sluice only rocket
@dapper sedge you. Like. Rocket?

[small sluice]

Take that back,

[dapper sedge]

@dapper sedge you. Like. Rocket?
@indigo ravine no. but from gorillas... only her

[mortal wasp]

Waterfalls nice on top and bottom ?

[small sluice]

Ok wait, I’ll make it easier to agree on:

There are literally no good hamsters.

Or cows.

[indigo ravine]

I kinda am starting to get attached to apple ever since she showed

Up

NORMA IS MY CHILD
