I would move the shops and museum tbh
anyone good at pixel art? I haf big plans and no pixel skills
Make the entrance is own thing that leads to the shops and such
@knotty meteor Yeah they’re there as a placeholder but I meant more so the distance btw airport and resident services
My new greenhouse 😄
Like have the shops farther back?
You can use cliffs and waterfalls to make it appear farther away
@pearl scaffold here are my shops
Awww
NL looks so dated now!
@fading jolt you could do a sharp left corner with some cliffs to create a path to the front of the town hall
Bro tell me about it omg
@burnt minnow thank you! Those were super helpful
Glad to help! 😁
I miss NL 😭
I used to play NL and then hop on WW and be like jfc NL looks so good but now compared no NH NL looks like CRAP LMFAO
i stg if i accidentally pick floweres one more time
Kinda finish the library. Now I have to figure what to do on the upper layer.
Not crap cause I LOVE the pixel style but you get what i mean
@limpid aspen ooh that might be an interesting idea! Thanks
@frank mist that’s a mood
@fading jolt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoAI7QoveT4 this is a good video for some inspo perhaps
I finally got the time to work on Sylvari 2.0 this week. Started with my entrance because I figured this'll be the easiest since I've already pictured it out in my head even before. I wanted to build an entrance that serves my visitors, but at the same time, makes them wonder ...
NL hurts my eyes how did I play that without getting sick
@limpid aspen LOL i was just watching that video and decided to post here that’s amazing
what a coincidence lmao, its definitely got some good ideas in it tho!
Yeah for sure but her plaza is so much further back so I was stumped. I’m torn between isolating the shops for visitors or having my island easily accessible and with a more open flow
not a huge fan of how my map looks, i think it looks better when your looking at it if that makes sense
How did we survive with the NL pocket space....... the fuckin tools took up most of it PFT
@frank mist where ur resident services is is where mine aspires to be
@long raven no outdoor furniture
A work in progress. I have not touched the left side or upper part of my island, I’m still working on the main shopping district and area. I’ll change up the rivers a bit and add more to the map. Would love some feedback! ^-^ ❤️
NH first time animal crossing players are spoiled hahaha
@frank mist look ;-;
@fading jolt my resident services is in an awkward place as well, especially since i wanted a large 'spectacle' for my entrace. I ended up making the main path into the resident services from the side
urs is ]in the middle
I don't even remember what I did in new leaf lol
ty
If you run over a flower in any other game you’re done for
Don’t water them ? They’re DEAD
This game is so much better than all the animal crossing games before it imo. We have still so much content coming soon too XD
all my flowers died in nl, i didnt even care
I don't think I ever got a second room in new leaf
I put on the ordinance so you don’t gotta water
DIving, museum cafe. I can’t wait! ❤️
Really ? I had fully upgraded house
guys i made my bun looser so now it feels like im not growing inches on my forehead
I had powersaves on new leaf so I had like 999,999,999 bells in my bank acc
I didn't play for that long, and I also shared with my sister so we basically each got half the money
@limpid aspen yeah I really want to nail the entrance before I tackle the rest of the island, I’ll probably tinker a bit and ask for feedback here
mood, i found it so hard to make the town pretty in NL i gave up lol
i have just under 300 hours on acnh 😅
I have like 500 hours on acnl, it looks so weird compared to nh
I have 360 in NH
In the process of building a market place, lmk if you have any ideas
I have like 700 in NL
how do you look at hours on nl?
@fading jolt thats the best plan! take things one at a time and you'll find everything will fall into place on its own, just dont give up!!!
How do you know the hours
@vivid hornet for NL or NH? cuz for NH look at your switch profile
Uhhhh there’s like a little application where you can view the games you’ve played and how long you spent on them
NH
my ds is dead and i cba to charge it
okie
i had 1,500 hours on new leaf 😳
isabelle keeps saying there are items cluttering my island but i cant see any
Progress 👍
my sister and I combined probably had less than 200 hours in NL
@frank mist do you have DIYs or turnips outside?
Placed clothing counts too. I had a ton of placed clothing once and she told me that
Ahhh diys!
@leaden osprey lookin good! i would maybe make it a big bigger personally but up to you!
I live this little area but I wanna add more to it. Ideas?
i have my little area for people to take diys
i was thinking that
I wish your island rating couldn't go down
maybe i should
@scenic blaze I have codes for rectangular stones to match the natural ramp if you want!
Natural ramps are the best looking ramps by far
@leaden osprey depends on if your island wants to feel enclosed or not, its probably just because theres a lot of open space around it that it feels a bit too small
yeah i thought so
but if you surrounded it with trees and other things it would fit a bit better
the . thing about that is it already has trees its just thats how small it is
people with natural ramps are poor 💅
@frank mist shut uppppp. I love natural ramos because they blend in well
i was kidding, they can look really good
@proper grove thanks but that’s okay! I’m more of a round stone person lol
@spare lion maybe just like some flowers? looks like its kind of an awkward space to fit stuff
Log ramps are good too
Just add more water
if you want it to be that size go for it, you just need to make sure to decorate around it properly so it blends in well
Hide your bells guys there is poor people around 😳
WHY did i think moving all my villager houses out of the way to redo my entire suburb and move them back was a good idea!
it will literally take 12 days JUST to move houses back and fourth 
the things we do for aesthetics
Hi! Would anyone be willing to post their map so I can get inspo for house placement?
Does anyone have a cool park creation they could show me?
@scenic blaze me too, but I loved how good of a match these are. I'd love to see yours when you're done! I use different round stone that '''sort of''' matches
U know what SUCKS , that the max inclines are 8
i used up all 8 fairly quickc but i had no bridge
im dead that name
Can they make it 10 at least
penguin island
Quick query its 8 inclines and 8 bridges or combined 8
@frank mistsame lol
8 each
16 total
I literally have 2 bridges cause why do I need bridges when I can terraform
I think you should be allowed afew more inclines
i basically removed all my rivers, theyre all 1 thick on the side of paths. so i had to add 3 rivers
i dont want to sound like a broken record but im still looking for some good flower field/garden area inspo so id love some help 🙏 😭
i got you
Im sure no one cares but I finally got my 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Stupid dropped items I was using as decor kept me at 4 this whole time and I had no idea.
Ah, I also don't want to but definitely need house placement inspo 😅 or you can dm me and I can show you my map!
gonna get my first bridge rn skhdkd what type should i go for ?? i want something natural
theres supposed to be a green mum in the space
@queen jay congrats 🎉 I just got my 5 starts too , I had a bunch of diys that I had to throw away cause they were “laying around “
does fruit count as dropped?
wish there were more green flowers
thank you loves!!!
I’ve made it bigger then the original does it look better
does fruit count as dropped?
@lucid orbit I assume so
does anyone else have the river openings on the south side of their island? If so, how are you dealing with the narrow space on the right
Anything that's not "placed" counts as dropped
With exception of branches
im so confused, do people with sakura themed places with cherry blossom trees just time travel to keep those trees as i wouldnt be able to handle permanent bunny day era
@leaden osprey what’s the QR code for that flooring it’s beautiful
@woven drift wish i could help you with house placement but all of mine are on the beach atm lol, but if youre interested in tiered houses then i asked earlier so it shouldnt be too hard to find 😊
can you have nothing dropped to get a five star rating
ill give u the link in a sec
Kk
@round compass https://imgur.com/a/hP93m
are weeds allowed at all for a five star rating
@leaden osprey bigger looks a lot better, gives more room for decorations as well!
like dropped items, do they effect your island rating
are weeds allowed at all for a five star rating
@bold pivot I don't think any weeds are allowed- I have none.
yes
@bold pivot I have some weeds not a lot but some laying around that just grew today
Yes thats what was keeping me at 4!
i think theres a dropped item limit
i have a few weeds and it hasnt affected my rating!
im not sure the exact amount tho :/
I picked everything up. I had dropped roses as decor and DIYs.
anything that you dropped more than 15 items isabelle will comment theres too much stuff lying around
I think the limit is 10
I dont really care of 5 star how tbh (dont kill me)
i an NOT getting rid of my weed farm for a 5 star rating
its 5 stars in our hearts
Yeah
I like the lily of the valley flowers
Does anyone want to send their map for inspiration, really don't know how to design my island with all the shops and stuff
yeah eff the 5 stars Im sure you had it at one point
I haven't checked my rating since I hit 3 stars haha
lily of the ballet? lily of the valley 😭😭😭
I just wanted one lily of the valley lol
I want to at least get to 5 stars once, so I can get golden watering can
Water should raise island rating
i just wanted 5 stars to get the golden watering can lol
and that too
Does anyone use custom clothes designs in an interesting way for their island by placing it down? I want to take advantage of all the open slots I have for that
Sorry I type to fast for my brain 💀
but I can make a golden watering can it for anyone who doesnt want to get rid of their weeds or other things they worked hard on producing that wont get them to 5 stars.
@vast cradle ohh I've seen lots of cool ideas. Someone had done big dresses as little elf houses!
My entrace ft peepe man
I can also make gold watering cans if anyone needs! Just need the materials!
and lots of hats as food displays (like cakes on a platter)
Peepe man lmao
Ive seen nook by the beach and ughh im so tempted!!!
@leaden osprey bigger looks a lot better, gives more room for decorations as well!
@limpid aspen ty
That looks so cute!!
Wait I have a question , can you only get mushroom diys in fall ? They look so cute Nd I wanna get some
yes, you could trade on the trading channel tho
yes unless you can somehow buy them off from the diy trade channel
I'm in the first week of playing the game so I can't do much about my island layout rn but hopefully soon I'll be able to make it look pretty haha
or you can get someone to craft them for you..... for a price......
I’ll have too see , I trade a lot but not many people have them
@blissful zodiac i have all the mush diys. If you provide mats I'll craft for free
Made a bread and jam Stand and a coffee stand ^^
Can someone give me some tips on what to do with my yard? I liked it before but now it just seems too simple and boring
@woven drift bro that's dope!
Thx ^^
@zealous pendant I’ll have to hit u up when I’m able to get online
I like how you customized the cd record player box... into a wooden box
didnt know you can customize it!
@blissful zodiac I managed for trade for some of the mush diys and items for other diys and some nmt
@brazen plinth maybe you could just keep it simple with some lawn flamingos and a lawn gnome?
or stuff like that
Hey guys does anyone know where the user judystan is? Cant find her suddenly I met her here
how does my entrance look so far?
Anyone not on phone who could look?
@blissful zodiac np just dm
What can i use for custom posters? shop-sign, simple panels anything else?
@bold pivot I put a cliff on one side and other side I'm creating a flower garden.
@green canopy can I see what it looks like?
Back on the weeds comment, planted weeds don’t count I think. Bc I planted some specifically for a wild look and I’m still at 5*
do you guys think that this area would be big enough for each of the villagers to have their own area around their house?
My island is covered in weeds but the only thing holding me back from 5* is the amount of trees. Go wild!
Okay so I need opinions. I’m usually big on symmetry. Drives me crazy if things aren’t. I’m working on this and want to know if I should do the same on the other side or use the space for something else?
@polar iris no it’s too small
@polar iris you could maybe give each person one personal item out front is all?
@polar iris a bit too small
Gave my sweet pea, Olive💕, her own lil outdoor library (:
@green canopy can I see what it looks like?
@woven drift sure! which one?
oh the entrance?
My cutie Weber is very happy about the hangout spot I made 
has anyone restarted their game recently after playing for ages?
Do someone have an witchy themed island? I would love to have more inspo
What can i use for custom posters? shop-sign, simple panels anything else?
@versed wadi you could also just display the design on like the default stand, but that probably would just look worse than shop sign tbh
default stand, like the canvas?
any ideas on what to put on the tops of the cliffs? alas i would have loved to put a black queen piece and a white queen piece there but nintendo said "no chess furniture set for you" so
I'm working on adding some lore to my island. and want to create some propaganda posters.
@versed wadi like this thing
Tbh I think it’s really just the shop sign and panels for poster/advertising. I saw people use paper lanterns before and stalls @versed wadi
Did a little something in front of my plaza, thoughts on the flower patterns? Couldn’t find a lightning one to act a border 😕
im at @shell tiger ‘s island and bruh i might cry at how perfect it is
Magazine stacks @versed wadi
im at @shell tiger ‘s island and bruh i might cry at how perfect it is
@brittle isle isn't it unreal!
@green canopy the record player box thing!
aaaaaah you guys 😭
oh! that hold on
IM GONNA CRY I COULD ONLY WISH FOR SOMETHING AS PERFECT AS THID
@sturdy radish the flower patterns look really nice!! i think the one on the top left should be symmetrical to the one on the top right tho but idk if u can :0
@versed wadi idk if this would work but what about the low screen?
@versed wadi thinking about adding more about the Council on the northwest portion of the beach... thoughts? 😂
@deep bluff same here! I need spooky ideas.
I couldn't do much with mine because it's so damn close to my res services :(
@static frost Yea, mine is 7 squares away
Great shouts!
sorry @woven drift using your nice picture to show the record cd box (i cant remember the name lol) that apparently can be customized?? correct me if im wrong tho! @woven drift
@patent sky Yes. let's make our islands have stories 🙂
i need inspo for a small turnip farm :(
Does anyone have a 5 star island I could visit? I'm looking for inspo:)
Any able sisters inspo ? Mine is on a cliff behind nook and I'm not sure what to add
and i am not sure if I should restart my island lol I kinda hate my island nr
no dont restart it
oop ok its so late already gnight and all the best grinding guys 🦾
Oh mine is also on a cliff and I have a curiosity shop beside it
@granite comet
@green canopy yup you can customize the record boxes :)
just use the island designer and clean up
Part 1:
@shell tiger that is so pretty 🥺
Hii, I want to make a dance/music area, i'm not really finding any cool path designs, which in game path do you all think fits it the best?
edit: reddit xD
@gilded nacelle I dont like where the plaza is and I might just need a fresh start lol
Gave Lionel (who has city scape wallpaper 🌃)and Deirdre (they’re besties) a city background w/communal area since they live in the city (next to resident services) I made a grey building that when put behind other faux buildings the windows look dimmer
@dense yacht that looks great
U guys like?
do you like it
@teal saffron you can do this.
aww thats pretty
thanks
anyone got a spare magazine stack DIY?
I don't but I can craft it for you
5 magazines?
You can also customize magazines with custom patterns
Which path to put in front of the museum? I'm making that area my cafe. The rest of my paths are stone with a black overlay and blue stars but I kinda wanna do something different
OK i think i will take everything off my island but not restart the game lol
I've got a couple magazines done.
Lemme check
I have this tree surrounded by floor lights on a small island for my big grand museum entrance, but it blocks out the museum. Do yall have any suggestions on any other 1x1 items I could put there?
hey guys!! i decided to terraform my shops like this but idk how i feel abt what the cliffs look like?? ik itll look different once i add furniture and decorations but rn i feel like smthings off with the way the cliffs look :/
I'm gonna work on the scandal headline patterns now
I dont know how to go about placing paths. Any tips on how to do it? Im moving my villagers to the grid in the back left corner and where im standing is where i want to put my museum
@versed wadi 6 magazines but I think I have 3
@cedar latch maybe the fake (or real) version of your favorite statue?
@teal saffron i can open up my island so you can visit
I'm thinking maybe wood with a qr overlay to make it darker? Would that even match? The museum is so stony
That aren't being used
@versed wadi magazine rack and document stack could be good too
@subtle lintel that would be great!!
I'll just keep jumping forward and ordering in Nooks store.
Like my chicken coop? ( let’s pretend the ducks are chicken ) 😂😂😂😂
Anyone have good pics of star gazing area. I just got the moon diy and want to upgrade mine 🙂
@zealous pendant you can farm duck eggs. I'll allow it 😉
Idk about a statue there, I have a fish, fossil, and art here (waiting for flick before i get a bug one)
I need help with pathing, how do you guys go about laying down paths?
Maybe a model of the huge butterfly? (Forgot it’s name) @cedar latch
before vs. after
cozy little laundry area :)
Would that model still be 1x1?
@jaunty galleon
Maybe a model of the huge butterfly? (Forgot it’s name) @cedar latch
@rain prawn Queen Alexandra's birdwing?
@worldly notch Here ya go
im looking for turnip farm inspo :(
I have a statue of it I can check
I have an ACNH Instagram

oh its 2x2
What would look better jumps or a bridge
Darn nvm then 😭
Ok my messages keep getting ignored.
i personally like jumps but double jumps might get annoying
I think the best looking 1x1 bug would probably be peacock butterfly, and I have a model of that I can give
@spark leaf maybe we just don't like u a;nosegh;aw.ne.hghkW:A:E;hk4gHW4R
thats terrible thing to say @silver sorrel
jk uh just honestly experiment with different widths of paths and qr codes. Like just make a rough outline for where you want the path to go then edit it down until you're happy with it
Well then.
i was gonna respond afterwards lmao
What do y’all think of my recreation the trees haven’t grown in yet but
@spark leaf this is what my map looks like with the paths if that helps??
@leaden osprey beeeeg improvement
This is what it looked like before lol
also imo ignore what minimaps look like if ur going for a best look ig. Like sometimes you lay down qrs over paths to make them brown, other times you don't, it doesn't matter what the minimap looks like just make sure the paths are functional
looks real good id be proud of that
ty
like would you actually want to walk down the path u made? lol
sometimes paths look good but then u traverse them like 5 times and its painful
Should i maybe have all my buildings where i want them before i start pathing? And yeah id probably use them
Yeah also if you do focus too much in the mini map if things aren’t perfect dimensions everywhere it can look bad there but good in game
@spark leaf yeah that's a good idea, plan out the rivers first too
But thanks guys! These are all really helpful
I actually really like my rivers and my campsite
what's the best resource for river planning specifically?
im redoing my map!
what do yall think i should do with it?
Dose anyone have any ideas on what to put on a beach
I’ve already got a bar/concert area
And a classic holiday type of area but I don’t k ow what on earth to put on my other beach 🙃
it's hard to find things that focus on rivers rather than getting 5 stars or w/e
@ivory sparrow wait did you restart?
@ivory sparrow rural/developed contrast is always a fun idea
i didnt restart LMAO i just colored over it
@brisk shuttle make a mini resort! or a little romantic area for a date!
@brisk shuttle I have a beach area with like beach chairs, towels, beach and volleyball, the life guard seat etc. I also have a sea food restaurant
hmm
i kinda do like that idea tho
Dose anyone have any ideas on what to put on a beach
I’ve already got a bar/concert area
And a classic holiday type of area but I don’t k ow what on earth to put on my other beach 🙃
@brisk shuttle seaside market
this man knows how to restart, i know people who just delete their towns every week cus they think its bad
LMAO bruh
yeah i already have everything paid off so i figured that id just go with what i have before restarting completely lmao
hey does anyone put Cranny and tailor side by side to each other?
can i see how you guys put it together
Fossil dig site
exactly, im legit redoing my entire island but im just destroying everything I had and rebuilding
hey does anyone put Cranny and tailor side by side to each other?
can i see how you guys put it together
@dreamy cliff
Sorry for poor quality. I'm making a shopping area
My crusty Libray 😍
Bazaar Beach
i think the only thing that would tempt me to reset is how long its gonna take lol
since i already had a bunch of stuff up and about
lol i honestly think you can demolish an entire island in like 2 days
which is much faster than restarting
yeah im not restarting ive clocked in way too many hours to warrant a reset just so i can move my resident services at this point
@ivory sparrow if it were me i would probably put the village either under res services or on the big area to the left, then the tailors and cranny near the entrance. Ultimately its up to you what you do
Beach area 😍
before i had it sorta like this
and i just
constantly hated it LMAO
I would never recommend full on restarting
I restarted a couple weeks in and redoing all the leg work was not great
@versed wadi hey can I do something similar??
I mostly missed my duck mouth though, tbh
fancy seafront seafood restaurant
@versed wadi i was making pirate bay so similar themes
I made a floating orchard, I have all the fruits and stuff
@versed wadi who lives there, please be an octopus lol
Beach front surf shack
really need some inspo rn, can some1 gimme ideaz
floating orchard?
Beach front surf shack
@versed wadi I'm working on something like this now, with Bud's house
Basically my orchard is surrounded by a big moat, I'll take pictures
@versed wadi who lives there, please be an octopus lol
@proper grove Diana, the exterior matched what I was going for. she had to make way for the breathtaking bear though.
Does my camping area look nice? Should i add something?
Let me see y'all's museum entrances
@ivory sparrow do you have people on your island a lot? I do so thats why i made my cranny and tailors like this, its easier to fence my island off and protect it from strangers, but if you arent worried about that then
Flowers!
@severe cosmos add some trees, flowers and bushes
Museum:
not YET
ive literally been. holding my island away from peopple until i finish it LMAO
Okee
but yeah
when i finish it i hope to be able to show it off and let people do whatever they want on it lol
Haven't spruced up my museum yet
I opened up my island if anyone wants to come
I'm making a botanical gardens that leads to the museum tho
Starting a cottage fairy coffe house
@woven drift How's it going?
Starting a cottage fairy coffe house
@boreal glade this is what i want my island like 😫
@ivory sparrow just make sure to fence off valuables!
@open moss heres an old ass video of my museum lmao, nothings changed tho https://twitter.com/Xemii13/status/1263192666180743174
cottage-core inspo pics?
rebuilt my islands entrance, looks a bit trash to me, anyone got any ideas on how to make it look a bit nicer?
i got an empty space like this, what should i put? any inspiration/ideas? 😅
add some layers to the cliffs
Still haven't got any ironwood things except for the ironwood low table. Rate my kitchen
cant, it can only be 3 thick
ah rip
i would maybe shift it one to the right so there wasnt the gap to the beach to help it feel more like an enclosed path
it has to line up to plaza 😭 its a pain
ahh that really is annoying
love it @woven drift maybe add some of the natural rocks? so theyve got some sort of enclosed placement
@woven drift who did you kill or what was killed or is that your future self telling you about a dark future
name of the Island is REDRUM i burried lots of empty bottles in there.
also, whats the max number of switch accounts you can have in your island?
After seeing all of these Beardo messages I want him or klaus in my town
bottles huh
Any ideas on what else I could add here? 🙃
Star gazing area
Does anyone have a spare white lighthouse or maybe can get me one by chance ?
here's my able sisters area, any tips or criticism ?
Rough island layout
I need feedback
Can anyone help out design my island? I can invite you and how you what I have so far
Half of this channel is insane cottagecore inspo lol
It's a dangerous thing because I changed my whole island after seeing cottagecore haha
@jaunty thistle i believe villagers will complain about being lonely if they’re too far away from other villagers
Whats cottagecore?
Ahh
Would you include a TIRE STACK in a park?
Hi, can someone help me with inspiration for my campsite, I won’t copy lol
Ooh yeah! need help with camp layout as well!
@wanton kernel I hadn't considered it before but now that you mention it a park in my hometown had literal tire stacks as playground equipment
Anybody wanna let me tour there island or come to mine?
Aww
I rlly need someone to help me design my island pls :))
@silent roost its not much yet but heres mine, the bridge is going to be a suspension bridge. I also plan on changing the logs out for the round ones whenever i can get them
Can someone dm me and help me with an idea I have? 😊💕
@proper grove Yeah! There’s a tire stack diy and now I’m considering using it for my PARK!
why can't we have a plain grass ramp to apply whatever path we use onto it?
I just want sky bridges lol
yeah I say go for it! I vividly now remember having like a tire mountain as part of one of our parks
dude same @silent roost
does anyone wanna rate an island?4
i wish the game gave us tarps or some sort of roofs
Anyone have any cool island layouts that look natural? If you have photos of what your homes and the surrounding area looks like that’d be extremely helpful.
I just want to place rugs outside...
Campsite island
what do you guys think of my museum entrance?
Can yall post some beach ideas? :) I need inspo!!
@sharp hull CREST DOORPLATE
Can someone possibly dm me and help me with a campsite idea? :)
I don’t have the diy either :/
:(( can someone help me with my island ?
i feel like i'm going too far from the idea i want, and im kind of getting unmotivated in general.. like criticism/ideas .. (dm me ;;)
Can someone give me tips on how to improve this layout
ok so im having 2 or 3 houses on my island, my mailbox doesnt fit in the areas i have em in. im gonna make a little post office area. anyone have any ideas/help with what i could use?
@oak flower im moving my home here, (im on a cliff currently) its still a work in progress but im going to decorate with trees and flowers
@wanton kernel I can craft it for you if you want?!
If it makes you feel better this is my island layout, it’s all over the place
@silent roost Thank you but I think PAXTON needs it! I have 2 of them just no diy.
@sturdy kindle WAIT. Can you hop across those ?
is the screen wall a diy?
@proper grove yes
My disappointing layout😅
@ivory matrix i rlly like it 😂👌👌
I like how your house is on a mountain
I’ve done barely any terraforming, changed some stuff to make building more convenient and added a pond
Other than that everything’s natural
@sturdy kindle wow, I can't believe I never tried! I just assumed they wouldn't let you! Just at one space gap I'm guessing?
Yeah
Nope, there can be a few tiles for the gap
GAME CHANGER
Not exactly sure how many
I'm guessing same as water then?
That’s what I’m assuming
whatchall think about this so far?
I tested it and you can’t put fences in between them but you can put water, I haven’t tried flowers
How do y’all decide what to put on each LEVEL?! Idk what to put on floor 1,2 or 3 lmao
I cannot wait to add this all over now
Mine get's wilder each level up
I might as well label my layout too
Beach inspooooo 😩😩
Ground floor is pretty built up, next level is rural, top level goes wild
I go up and down so often I usually forget what level I'm on
Can I see how you guys designed the outside of your villagers houses? I need some inspiration.
Beach inspooooo 😩😩
@static frost
okay, here's my finished (?) shopping area, any opinions ?
@static frost
Would anyone be interested in seeing my boardwalk?
Nvm, my island’s too cramped to label stuff
@tawny rose here are a few from my island!
@static frost
Little chill area
How do y’all decide how/where you’re gonna tier the buildings?!
Ah! Thank you guys so much. 🥰
Mind if I post some random landmarks on my island?
@wanton kernel personally I just build little zones as I go. If I feel like I need to go up a level I do then whatever fits the space gets placed lol
😮
its got big cahotic energy and is kind of a mess lol
Until you run out of inclines, and then you start raiding old areas.
But that's part of the fun
@granite cometsooooo cute!
a lot of trial and error, and sometimes I build cliff walls between two mountains just to walk between them better
I'm always out of inclines though
(sorry it’s sideways) but do y’all have any tips for the river layout? i’m scared to move anything before i make the rivers
The stacked magazines were a great shout!
They look like campaign brochures!
So I moved my museum to this cliff where my garden was. I have flowers everywhere it's a mess. But I'll deal with that later. Right now im trying to make a museum entrance. I have cedar trees on both sides and bushes and some signs. Does anybody have any cool suggestions or pics
Has anyone got a fantasy/fairy type island I could see a few pics of? I’m stuck for ideas right now and my whole island got reset by mistake and I’m so stuck 😅😂 thanks so much in advance!
This is what I did for my museum entrance
Made a produce stand ^^
Bug catching area 🥰
What fence do you think fits well to put around the plaza?
@untold crag I like the brick and the hedges :)
@static frost aw thank you 🥺
@untold crag leaf fence is cool
Thanks for the input 🙂
@untold crag i use hedges and simple wooden fence the most
Has anyone else used the solar panels or wind turbines on your islands?? I haven’t seen any with them yet except mine lol
Hey I’m wondering if anyone could send me some inspo on their entrance to their island? I’d really appreciate it 😊
@rain prawn I got them in nook mile shopping
I'm planning to do a wind farm, but haven't bought any yet lol
@rain prawn I made like a construction corner on the corner of my island
Ooh nice!!
Museum :)
A wind farm on a cliff would look goood
@clear fable
An actual quality picture from me for once LOL
Shovel?
Sorry my pics are a little shitty hahah
You can place tools
A wind farm on a cliff would look goood
@rain prawn did i hear wind farm?
Rate 1-10?
YAS I LOVE 🥰😍💖
@sharp hull nice, can people pick them up if they're placed?
Nope
niceeeee
You could have some tree stumps in your construction site maybe?
@versed wadi that's the best thing I've seen this far... freakin amazing!
And if you customize them it still shows up
hey! if anybody has a marketplace, please post it! i need inspiration:)
awesome!
I'm looking for ideas on a canal for my town, anyone got some good stuff/designs to put alongside the edges?
I’ve got a bunch of stuff on my Pinterest if anybody needs Inspiration, I’ve organized it pretty nicely. https://pin.it/4q8XJWU
is there.... a master list out there of furniture items?
Ideas for this?
a little greenery would be nice, maybe some potted plants?
could someone show me some photos of a garden they have done for marina? :)
Isn’t Marina pink?
yes she is
@proper grove I like to use VillagerDB https://villagerdb.com/
The largest Animal Crossing item, villager database and wishlist maker on the internet.
Give me your cool entryways a a a a a
I would do pink, white and red. My personal favorite flower is hibiscus. But if you’re trying to make her pop I would use the colors opposite on the color wheel. Being green and yellow.
some caps
Magazine rack
I feel like a different part of beardo is iconic
@versed wadi this is better than anticipated....
is beardo the one with the hair,, low down
Yes
you could do a stall, to distribute more pamphlets
See. He his mustache isn't as iconic as something else
hahahah
need ideas for this little campsite area, what items i should use if i should change the path, trees i should use, shrubs. would like it to incorporate a bit of fishing somewhere
anybody here have panels
I only see mustache, get out of the gutter
omg i gave buzz a tube top and i had to kick him afterwards @versed wadi
i was planning on kicking him anyway though don't attack me i love buzz
wait can you customize a tv to put the design on the screen?
why doesn't beardo have a beard?
he just has hair like everywhere else
he's got everything but the beard
@versed wadi this is the best thing ever !!! You can customize that old school movie camera to show the customized design too! On a wall Uhm I think you can customize document stacks and scattered papers Not too sure :/.
hey can i see someones campsite area for inspo please! (i wont completely copy dw)
Lollll no beardo
beardo 2020
why do yall like beardo? eunice 2020! america needs a strong female 💅candidate 
Who is Beardo's Vice Mayor?
if anyone says vladimir
rodney
wait do vice mayors exist?
ew gross
pretty sure you can custom the cartoonists set, so it looks like all his signs are being hand painted
rodney is the best villager, he should honestly run
Anyone have any good idea for museum, ables, and cranny? I literally don't know what I should do with em 😂
My WIP of a cute cottage-core library. Any other ideas? (:
that is adorable omg
@kindred yarrow you could potentially terraform out the ground a bit for more fencing as a border and edit some of the paths to wood so its more indoors-y? idk it looks great atm :D
@leaden osprey go assign a personality role
why IS your name white? lol
i did
WHY IS MY NAME WHITE
LOL
try again????
if anyone could share ideas for a cliff waterfall entrance i'd appreciate it, mine is not going well 
oh its always been white it seems? haha
Doesnt look liek you have any roles
MY NAME WAS PINK
maybe u need only 1
@sly ginkgo I did stone since it is outdoors and gives it a more rustic feel, and I'll probably carve out too for fencing
YOU DONT HAVE ROLES
maybe cuz i rejoined
@shell tiger I LOVE your greenhouse !!! 💕 lol saw it earlier but couldn’t respond
@versed mural Thankyou ❤️ very happy how it turned out

Does anyone know the dimensions of a villages house

You have tons of space for cliffs!
@scenic blaze houses will be on the right tho, somewhere in front of nooks cranny
Cliffs are like clay, you just gotta smoosh em in

True
I started completely redesigning my island. This is my entrance so far :)
does anyone know about weeds? like will they always be able to pop up anywhere on your island
this is just so cool, i think it's from reddit
i don’t wanna have to cover my island w custom paths to block weeds
Any garden design?
maybe here i forget
Any ideas on what i can do with this im stumped😔
market?
How are you folks utilizing the space behind a terraformed area? Its hard to see after the build.
guys!! The YouTuber just finished touring my island and I was shaking like a bitch the whole time
@ivory matrix renewable energy farm!!
could someone show their villager house layouts i need inspiration on how to plan mine out
does anyone have a flower breeding area that they made? i need inspo 🙂
@euan.lol#4536
@humble echo which youtuber ?
@drowsy fable I can send you a sort of outdated video in abit
Can I see what someone’s carnival looks like??
@humble echo that looks really good 😊
About 1 and a half more weeks to finish new layout hopefully, then start designing. Progress so far xD
After his video goes out I'll do tours on here if anyone is interested ^^
@manic lantern tyy
@rose widget thats an insane amount of progress. Your terraforming skills are amazing.
Anyone have any fun suggestions for the 4 train sets? I want to display them on the island but can't think of anything clever, nor do I have much more space...
@manic lantern haha thanks honestly I just hang out in this chat and somehow it got better.
My Arboretum/Museum 🥰
@rose widget surrounding yourself with like minded people 😌
Does anyone have the island with the natural heart pond?
@vivid oasis sure that sounds perfect
@red lodge very cute
@red lodge love the garden lanters and shell fountain 😁
@tired onyx #villager-trade
can anyone show their campsite area?
i started making a river completely from scratch and it's so pretty but it looks like a small stream and now idk if i actually want the thick natural-looking rivers in the default maps
which style of entrance should i do? im going for cottagecore vibes
@austere cradle 1st one is more cottage core, second one is cuter
ty
I like the bottom one better
oooh i love those cliffs and the ramp straight at the entrance... i want that in my island LOL
actually im gonna save that for inspo
my island is totally flat rn and all buildings are on the beach. i am gonna work so hard on this island
same emma
Can I see everyone’s nooks and able sisters area?
wait i have screenshots of inspo i have to find it
is that flower wheel barrel a diy item?
Diy
Yes!
i could only find 1 sorry my camera roll is messy
i have both of my shops next to eachother (don’t mind the stuff in front of my character it’s my backyard 😂)
what did everyone do with their nooks cranny and able sisters? I'm looking for ideas before I start anything
i also found this loom from a balloon so i put it next to ables
Ok I just got a good idea for nooks
I really like this
I'm missing like 2 people in that set up though ^^;
i LOVE the reddish color of purple roses
I might be the only person who doesn't like the purple flowers
hii
Made a cat paw shaped pond, kinda overly proud haha
LF playground inspo :3
what do u think i got this idea from a inspo
Further adventures in campaign materials. The tv and cinema projector didn’t work unfortunately:(
@dark echo my playground is pretty basic, but if there's anything you'd like to catalogue let me know :)
“Vote beardo”
anyone got a farm area? i need some inspo C:
does anyone have any cute pictures of what it looks like in front of their airport? i need inspo! if this is thr wrong chat for this im so sorry
also i have no idea what fence to use lmao
@zealous mortar not done yet but hope it helps
Hey, do you know a site to create a good map ?
@spice raptor 🙂
I'd say country and straw fences are best for farms. maybe spiky
the site is happy island designer!
cutee
@woven drift They are also in the pins!
Does anyone need a wooden bookshelf DIY for their isle? 🙂
Any tips for making a market? I want to use up a big area but I want the stalls kind of close together so it feels more realistic
my farm has straw 🙂
@shadow flare wow, it flows so well. you're doing a great job 🙂
does anyone know how to make the three level neighborhood?
oo ty everyone!! helped a bunch!!
@ember kestrel here is the finished forest behind it
oo i need the straw fence
yeah I plan on using straw. I have some ideas
i love straw fencingggggg
Oh okey thank you 🥺
looking for some museum inspo! feel like mine currently takes up so much space and would like to see others c:
wow!! those mush lamps really are magical. so nice
hellooo lf countryside/cottagecore(?) island designs hehe
What are some things you guys have been doing with dead space? I already have a market, library, and arcade. Running out of ideas ..
Forest stuff if you doing more natural
I did a fairy circle in one spot
Might do some sort of cookout spot
cafes, runways, clubs, dance floors, flower gardens, chess bards, game ideas, ponds are all good ideas to fill dead space
for now I plan on doing a chinese buffet/restaurant, gym, clothes store (idk if I can make it like forever21 but that's what I want) cafe and market
@vivid oasis I need bookshelves! I have lots of extra Diy'sif you need any also
no forever 21
Nice! These are all good ideas
forever21 so badddd
it's not the best quality clothes lmao
ethics sorry
I can let you come by, Lucky is the one making it! @sly aurora, let me know what you got? 😮
bahaha or ethics
oooh i wonder if i could make a mall if that makes sense?
fast fashion 🥴
does anyone have an island with a city theme i can explore for inspiration?
I plan on doing some stalls from different countries and then the pink diner thing
I understand, I just like the white
when u poor fast fashion is only fashion :((
but i do buy a lot of used clothes off depop
Sure! I'll bring all my extras and you can pick up any you dont have @vivid oasis
does anyone have an island with a city theme i can explore for inspiration?
@half forge nope, look on yt! U will find lots! I hope this helps
Okies! ^^
city theme islands are hard to come by. everyone just send the same imotarez twitter link
@brittle crescent keep doing depop i love depop fast fashion is so badd
@vivid oasis ooh a cookout spot is a good idea thankx!
No problem! 😄
city themes get kinda old bc there not much u can do with the items in game
i think cottagecore islands are old. they all look the same to me
islands get old to me
for city u can go for different once like london, or tokyo or new york
bahahah
cottagecore CAN be good, but people are drawing from the same sources over and over again, so they look the same
be like me and make bikini bottom
yoo thats so cute
@brittle crescent i think it's also due to people saying "Oh not another city / jp inspired island!' and people band wagoning onto it early in ACNH life.. cottagecore (tbh i don't even know if thats the real name or just an AC name lol but anyway) is the new trend and maybe in a few weeks people will act like "oh no not another one!" but thats why i said f what other people think, just make whatever YOU want
@silver sorrel How's your island going bo?
i love when people get creative ideas like that. like i saw a vaporwave island here once it looked sick
it's gonna be hype hopefully, this is my rough rough draft
it doesn't look like it at all from the map but i tried cramming a bunch in there lol
Alfredo, looks like you have 11 villager homes?
hola senpai
like if i wanted to make a city themed island, well i'll make a city then, idc if 1000000 million people do it or not
Following a theme is too hard for me. I just do what I want 😂
i probably do lmao
exactly do what u want
@shadow flare How's it going man lol
which inclines would look best here?
true true
so doing a natural theme but idk if i want stone paths or dirt, the dirt looks kinda weird when its thick and for stone i would probs do like criss cross dot things? i can do dirt in some areas but
I have. Changed the paths on my island 2 tomes today, not I'm doing it a third time. This is so much work wtf
good jus doin some more island renovations, finishing up the farm area
@woven drift maybe the log incline?
i dont hate them just i enjoy seeing them not making them lol
@woven drift Wooden
You're the one who spends the most time on your island, make it how you like and who cares what anyone, including Isabelle, has to say about it!
I can't spell lmao
Hey hey guys, awhile ago someone posted this and I'm trying to find it again. I just wanna know what that little wooden cage thing is in the photo
isabelle hates trees
@shadow flare nice you down to visit each other's islands later
does anyone have some natural inspiration
im trying to do neon city theme with lots of lights and maybe space stuff. like instead of using car beds on da roads im doing lunar rovers
@dense ice they look like frogs
@manic lantern sure just DM when you available im free today 👍
Yeah for a deserted island themed game they really force urbanization if you want the five stars
right? like i even thought SELF placed weeds wouldn't count against weed-count but i guess it does
and some of those weeds are pretty, ....
@dense ice i think they are crickets
i love that they honk
kinda wanna do the cottagecore thing so i can kinda preserve my island's og layout haha
@timid kernel exactly! If you want to encourage no weeds then you shouldn't have made them look so nice...
Love the weeds
kinda wanna do the cottagecore thing so i can kinda preserve my island's og layout haha
@tacit wagon you can do natural without cottagecore
@elder finch how do you get that container though? Is that what they look like when you put them down?
@timid kernel i love the autumn weeds
What’s the difference between natural and cottagecore?
yeah fall and winter look amazing!!
What are some keywords to describe the cottagecore aesthetics? Just wondering haha
all the mush lamps 
what are y'all doing with your shopping area?
cottage core has LOTS of mushrooms
@tacit wagon you can do natural without cottagecore
@versed wadi whats the diff between them? i thought they were just the same haha
cottage core would be lots of plants mushrooms. white and brown wooud decor wtc
@rain prawn the word sounds fancier? Honestly I can't really tell
cottagecore is more rural, farmy, cottagey
I keep seeing them only in autumn
my island is like .25 cottage core
Like put it in spring, it feels completely off
cottagecore is going more fantastical while keeping it natural if i recall
natural can be anything fro woodlands, mountains, grasslands, snowy, tropical
hear me out: island themed islands. those are so yummy
@dense ice I think that’s grasshopper and yes it’s how it looks when you place it
New Garden Area added today, what do we think?
Ah I guess that makes sense. So natural can be cottagecore depending on what you do, but it can be natural and not cottagecore
@elder finch how do you get that container though? Is that what they look like when you put them down?
@dense ice yep its what it looks like when you put it down
ohhhh
Ah I guess that makes sense. So natural can be cottagecore depending on what you do, but it can be natural and not cottagecore
@rain prawn wise words
I want to make a second island with a specific theme on my second Switch, but I just can't bring myself to go through the trouble of making money and reaching 3 stars again -_-
To me, cottage core uses a softer palette than you wouldnt necessarily use in a normal natural theme. So whites and pastels.
makes sense @rain prawn
the first would be natural and the second would be cottagecoreish
i wanna hug sherb
no
so doing a natural theme but idk if i want stone paths or dirt, the dirt looks kinda weird when its thick and for stone i would probs do like criss cross dot things? i can do dirt in some areas, i also have the matching path to natural incline which i could use??
honestly kinda
Damn y u delete
Sherb wasn’t my dreamy at first but after I got him, I love him sm
natural has more color where cottage is white, browns and pastels
Except for the colorful flowers they are the same
natural has more color where cottage is white, browns and pastels
@brittle crescent no wonder the ones I see are just ALL WHITE
it’s kinda hard to recreate cottagecore aesthetic in AC though
Honestly cottage core just be pretzel fences and mush lamps tbh 😳😳
am i the only one who hates saying the word irl
mush lamps I think fits more into fantasy theme islands
yeah if i see another cottagecore with the white wood paths i might just shit my pants and die
Ngl cottege core just seem like a fancy word for shabby chic and im not feeling it
@brittle crescent literally
OH the grasshopper and the long locust are different things? Woah
mush lamps vs lampposts
i never even heard of it until like 2 weeks ago lol
before and after
@frosty spruceglow up
@tacit wagon but what if I only use hyacinth lamps
Love the rivers
@frosty spruce i love the transformation!
yessir haha
Just make your island after the Shire. Every house is backed against a cliff to the second level
cottagecore is a real aesthetic tho so it’s just what ppl try to make their islands like
Should just put all the houses into individual pits with no inclines
What do I call my island if it looks cozy yet half inhabited with discernible color palette and also you might get lost?
mmmm island transformation pics feed me dude
can someone show me an area with a natural incline? need inspiration
holy shit that is sexy
hate the word cottagecore tho even tho i asked...i dont know a lot of words...,,,
@proper grove cozy yet confusion core
@rain prawn this is a big mood for me
When do mushrooms even becomes available
Heres my transformation so far lol
fall is probably the best season overall with items, looks (with or without weather, colors.. ect.. winter is a close second but i'm mainly a sucker for snow but it also has good items
fall
woahhh
ik!! i’m so excited for fall @timid kernel
its like that one lvl of super mario where he jumps on shrooms only
My island is trashcore right now
felt that
LOL
i’ve never time traveled i had to trade for all my fall items
Mushrooms aren't even rare. They grow like weeds. The DIYs are the tricky things
my island is emptycore so i feel u
someone should make a kid core island idk if that’s possible tho
@woven drift I think that's illegal
I tt but I dont go to different seasons tbh
LMAO
I'm Southern hemisphere and I have like 50 round and tall mushrooms
Just put the stuffed animals EVERYWHERE
Omg did you see a Korean who literally made his island into a zoo
it would be so chaotic
i saw that lmaoo @bleak skiff
Thoughts on where I should move my fountain? It’s currently the path under the word market lol
omg and he made his friends dress up as students LMAOO
All the vollagwr’/ houses are in enclosures
@frosty spruce sup bro
kidcore island: plushies, that block furniture.
omg and he made his friends dress up as students LMAOO
@woven drift YASSS LOLOL
aye what up senpai
I want to make a cool theme but I'd hate to lose all my work on my current island
Need inspo, not sure what I want my island to look like. I'm making very slow progress.
My island's theme is Work-In-Progress-core
Buy a new switch
yo what up @frosty spruce how is the isle goin
My island's theme is Work-In-Progress-core
@wind spear MOOD
my island is indecisive-core
my island is indecisive-core
@woven drift mood
@gentle saffronlmao true but expensive as hell
i wanna make my island bearcore 🐻
@timid kernelLmaoooo😭😭😭😭
Someone should make theirs corecore
still stuck with this part 😭
isnt that where the lighthouse was?
a dark academia island would be too powerful
I’m jealous of y’all that have the money to buy a whole other switch just for AC
around there
i’m thinking a white color themed park but i’m not sure how to lay it out
looking for some museum inspo please c;❤️
and yes @shadow flare
I always feel the beach / ground border is the hardest to design ahaha
Like I just had to drop my car off at the mechanic so no new switch for me
@woven drift
Yeah
@frosty spruce did you put use of those panels yet lol
Like wham bam suddenly u see a beach
haven’t been on yet today hahah @manic lantern
How do u get the upgraded museum I haven’t gotten it
hmm a white park sounds good, with sand path yay or nay?
@rain prawn I didn't have the money. I had luck. I won a Switch Lite in a raffle 😄
@swift garden
Guys what would u call my island aesthetic??😌🙈🙈✨
kinda wanna do surfboards as fences for my beach
i think... i've finished
I kind of started this at the edge of my beach and it's turning out okay
flatcore
@brittle crescent islandcore
i aspire to have this
one of my beach features
@timid kernel that is smart! If I got another switch it would be for my bf. Since he bought me mine
hahaha
@brittle crescent honesty i think it’s minimalist
@rain prawn aw that'd be sweet 🙂
@brittle crescentmyflatasscore
I kind of started this at the edge of my beach and it's turning out okay
@gentle saffron ooohhh such a nice transition!!
@leaden osprey that's more bridges than the game will allow
minimalist and flat sound best ☺️
what about: islandthattakesinspirationfromeveryoneelse.. core
minimalist and flat sound best ☺️
@brittle crescent more like the reincarnation into some holy flat land hahaha
my island is zerooriginality core
