Okay I have a question. Right now I have all my villagers all together in one spot. Would it look okay to keep about half there and have the other half by themselves in various places?

@fair fiber it’s just on a cliff and behind it is a river so nothing else really 🙂

@bronze forum I would change the path. Maybe add more natural looking planks with the more ‘broken’ looking edges!

@cinder marten software I use for work called Sketch

@woven drift spread!! More room for yards

wraith veldt

@versed wadi Can you post some villager's houses?

versed wadi
#

@woven drift do both, do either, whatever makes sense

quasi galleon
#

Mine is altogether but I’m in the process of spreading them out

#

I like spreading them out but my next island will have them kind of crammed. It'll depend

rocky ferry
#

any ideas for a rock garden?

woven drift
#

True ;-; but at the same time it would be nice for them to have like their own little “neighborhood”

versed wadi
vast tinsel
#

i have them together in a village but with big yards. takes up some space but 3 tier with the yards has worked wel for me it’s super cute !

rain prawn
#

Right now mine are all together but I think I want to keep half in a little neighborhood and spread the others in various places. Haven’t decided yet tho

All my villagers were in a neighborhood but I decided I'd rather spread them out to give them more yard space

Is there any other buildings they are adding besides the little coffee place ? Cause I’m trying to leave room just in case xD

i've been scouting ideas for what i want to do with my island and putting together concepts before i put the time in terraforming again

dapper sedge
#

idk bout u guys but this walking around is helping. ive now made pathways to walk to new areas.

woven drift
#

I’m really wanting a mushroom fairy theme island mixed with Sakura items 😦 I’m struggling to get those islands

cinder marten
#

i had a neighborhood for a while but my villagers would all be hanging out in that one cramped space & then the town hall & that was it. having them spread around the map means they actually interact with the stuff im decorating with

manic lantern
#

whatever you do. don't flatten your island lol

queen nexus
#

oh yeah, i don't do that lol

silver sorrel
#

i wish villagers wandered more like how they did in new leaf

Why not?

Does anyone have clothing on display outside able's?

let's just say its the quickest way to lose your sanity. You have nothing to work off of

woven drift
#

Lol I flattened mine D: oh nooo

cinder marten
#

yeah they barely wander but ive noticed they wander more now that ive spread them out

dapper sedge
#

i wish villagers wandered more like how they did in new leaf
@silver sorrel what u taking about? my villagers are all over the island

silver sorrel
#

damn i wish i knew that before I flattened my entire island lmao

queen nexus
#

my villagers always wander to wherever i am and get in my way

swift garden
#

Ok, so I made a really cool water fall tourist attraction, complete with stones you can use to hop across the water. Problem is I don't know if it looks good or overly complicated.

rain prawn
#

Mine wander a lot. I find they go where my paths are more than the more natural places

woven drift
#

Lmfao yeah I flattened my entire island xD it sucks so much

cinder marten
#

city folk had them all up in every corner & u were searching all over for one of em bc another villager asked u to give them their shirt back.

manic lantern
#

@silver sorrel you down to get some matches in later

swift garden
#

It's too big to take pictures of

dapper sedge
#

maybe the way you all built paths make it dificult for the ai? coz for me they are all over the place

cinder marten
#

yes i swear they follow the paths!!

silver sorrel
#

@manic lantern im gonna try to finish my town area today then maybe

rain prawn
#

I have paths leading most everywhere so I find them everywhere so maybe it’s the paths?

manic lantern
#

@woven drift how's that going for you haha

dapper sedge
#

it is. i find them far off in places

I would cry if I flattened my island tbh

The dressing room is a cute idea

@manic lantern worst decision ever ;-; I literally wanted to restart my game lol

flattening my island actually helped me a lot 🥺 i felt restricted by my original layout

i have no idea how to make my rivers look natural

manic lantern

@woven drift are you going too?

woven drift

Nope xD I’m just going to build up slowly

rivers going north/south are difficult to make natural but going east/west is soooooo easy. i will argue on this

Can anyone send their idland entrances i need inspo

@cinder marten when in doubt. turn a river into a canal

water terraforming in general is so hard

@cinder marten true. I have a double south going north and it was a struggle to waterscape

Can I see people's campgrounds? Getting ready to make a space for mine, but wanted to see some ideas!

vivid oasis
#

I kinda wish I had double south but I didnt know what I was doing when I first gotm y isle and I dont want to start over

autumn elbow
#

i wasn't a fan of them at the start but seeing all the terraforming people have done makes me really want them

quasi galleon
#

If I were to restart I’d get one south ending at northwest/northeast

dapper sedge
#

Which path looks better? Left is a custom and right is the preset in-game one.
@sage jasper based on complains here... i have to say that custom paths keep villagers from wandering. coz my experience is comepletly different from whats being reported here.

why cant i build a bridge even though my rivers are straight and the bridge can fit

Can I come to someone’s island to just get some ideas. I’m running out

yeah one of my river mouths isn't being used lol

the city folk/new leaf in me made me make sure i had an island on my original map

quasi galleon
#

@faint path you rly nailed your double south doe :0 some people just close it off. Was gonna do that but it looks off to me

worldly notch
#

I will warn you, figuring out what to do on the tiny sides of a double south is really hard if you intend to keep your rivers lol

vivid oasis
#

@dapper sedge Wait do they not go over custom paths? 😮

#

@manic lantern bridges need to have a size on both sides, like a huge land on one side.

Hi all. I am absolutely tired of doing and redoing my entrance. I still dont like it. Here are some portions of it plus the view from the seaplane which i very much hate (ignore details like that hole in the ground.) I basically have a small but very terraformed entrance with a moon at the end. Right in front theres a market. To the left a station with a diy table/diy store/coffee. To the left is the resident services area which i tried to make "better" by putting a bit of a plaza w a fountain in front. Idk what im doing anymore im tired yall lol. I appreciate some kind of advice before I take down the entrance 100% to make another one. My idea has been to make a sorta magical town w a moon theme and cottage vibes here and there. Its HARD. as hell. The thing is i dont know whats ruining this the most, and about the resident services front yeah I dont like it but idk why. Thanks

dapper sedge
#

@dapper sedge Wait do they not go over custom paths? 😮
@vivid oasis must be. coz mine go all over the map. but ppl say theres stay in plaza.

They have to be bred AND watered by a gold watering can

@plucky jacinth what you mean?

The houses aren’t simetrical

@woven drift that layout isn't gonna let you decorate super freely most likely, but if you want it organized that's about as organized as you can get

plucky jacinth
#

@woven drift if you moved one of the houses from the left to the right you’d have and extra space on both sides in the same spot which would be symmetrical, plus then you can do a little park, picnic, sitting area, etc in the extra space
