I need some inspiration for an outdoor pool , does anyone have some saved photos or maybe from your own island that could help me get some ideas?
frosty ivy
@next peak Do you mean, good use of the item? Or a grand pool design?
next peak
@frosty ivy Like a pool area
frosty ivy
@iron summit it seems quite difficult to do 🤔
woven drift
Spitballing here, but could you maybe use some path border patterns around a lake area to make it look more like a pool?
next peak
Something like this but nicer
shell tiger
I have seen someone make an infinity pool with water I dont have the pic saved tho
wicked ether
Found this beach area design on Pinterest maybe as the pool to a side and make an open pool to beach area
next peak
@woven drift I don't think that would work since there will be grass between the border and lake

@woven drift Blimey.. you've been busy

I made the trees to close off that area and used a diner outfit as a worker. I had an essprso maker and cream and sugar on the stand.

Does anybody have tips on planning their island? I'm always paralyzed by indecision. I'm concerned that the island planner a lot of folks use might not give me the correct measurements, or I might not give it the correct measurements :x

@chrome grotto I'll go little by little. Ill pick out little things that I like. There's no pressure in making it the best isalnd ever

Hello, I'm trying to design my museum. I have the fossils complete inside so I can have any fossil outside basically. I want there to be two fossils on the side of the museum but idk which to put. I also want a sort of waterfall in the middle with a bridge over the river and two stone staircases up but idk how to really design it
turbid elk
Ive been working on my robot hero layouts lately. Have all 8 colors aroun island
lunar crest
@slim field t rex and stegasaurus would look good on the side. Or the deer one. I prefer staircase honestly because it adds another layer to the island

yeah im saying i want staircases and a bridge horizontally
not vertically to it, should have specified, my b

so i did this yesterday and i wanted to know where i should start😖

I’m so confused and I have no idea what to do with my island

I think we have the same map @sonic meadow

how big are the trex and stego fossil sets complete?

do you guys have some entrances that don’t involve lots of cliffs and stuff?
slim field
yeah i do, ill get a pic for ya
lunar crest
@woven drift I surrounded it with hedges. Then put nooks and Ables to access all three places easier. I made a little cafe and a campsite near there too

2 squares and 2 squares per piece @slim field length an width

I need a suggestion on what to put

so 2x2 per piece?

@drowsy atlas I feel you should go with what your island is going for. The entrances are nice but it kinda throws off the whole vibe when you walk in.

do you guys have some entrances that don’t involve lots of cliffs and stuff?
@woven drift this is what I did

@woven drift Maybe a beach cafe?

@woven drift maybe shop area like a surf shop?

@rotund ferry that incline doesnt line up to ur museum. Thats What happened my house had use 2 inclines make it look right

So like a vertical shopping district?

I'm planning on designing my villagers' lawns basee on their interest/goals.
For example, according to the wiki, Chevre's goal is to become a teacher, so i made a tiny "classroom" next to her house.
Does that sound like a good idea or should i just make a normal lawn?
sonic meadow
@distant moat it depends on how you want it to look

@distant moat micro enviorments are always good. For me I made a seating area for tangy and music player so she could sing. Then added orange trees and stuff

distant moat
@lunar crest oh yeah.. i didnt know why i never thought of mixing the two
sonic meadow
@woven drift ahh okay thank you! I’ll see what I can do
lunar crest
@sonic meadow I would put it along the paths or river. Makes it flow better
woven drift
For that map I had a hard time because two major points were so close

I want to change up the river and make more waterfalls

So there were all these awkward gaps, what I did to get around it was instead of higher elevation at the edges and lower in the middle i inverted

@icy tulip that's hard cause almost everything has been done

Industrial will use more iron and stone. Nature uses more wood and stuff
You deffinatle could do both!

@coral blade omg ya everything’s taken. I haven’t seen anyone do something similar to mine yet but I’ll keep brainstorming!

Good luck!!

how would i do both?
Hide your industrial complex from view and make a secret entrance through trees
like splitting the island in half😳

I’d like to see an island that has a city but the outskirts is farmland
hollow trout
Done half of my island and now Im wanting to change it from quite nature looking to tropical🤣
coral blade
Well you could try to blend it in together orrr you could flatten your island hand have the stark contrast! Half n half
Gives you more villagers to work with too. 🤔
woven drift
also by making smaller hidden areas, it being jarring adds to the effect - not so much half and half but a mini theme within a theme
delicate shore
Please help! What can I do next to improve my entrance
lost monolith
I saw one island with a hidden radioactive corner, like it’s the dark secret of the island. The rest of it was very natural

@frosty ivy oh that's not a bad idea :) any suggestions on things to put there? A bench or maybe some stools? But what else would go well?
coral blade
I wanna see too but darn it im unable rn xD

@copper shard Some garden benches with flowers and hedges to start. After that maybe some tables or a picnic custom tile

@frosty ivy Thank you! I have hedges growing along the edge right now, but I'll grab some benches and see how it looks :)

What are we ever going to do if they add more shops/buildings? 😅

How do you guys get your snapping turtles to look like that
frosty ivy
What else could they add? This is my first AC game
woven drift
Mine still looks like a model with the base clearly visible
frosty ivy
@woven drift You put down a live one and it looks like that
red lodge
They could make Kicks, Leif, Dream Suite (maybe..?), Dr. Shrunks Club all have buildings instead of just visiting the plaza

this is what i have so far i’m not sure what else to put

a Leif shop would be soo nice
frosty ivy
@woven drift Ahaha yeah, just catch one and place it

I have two in storage

What else should i add here?
woven drift
I ran to my house immediately
red lodge
I feel like they need to add Gracies/Label’s too! I don’t imagine they would just add on to the Able Sisters but maybe...
obsidian cobalt
@gaunt trail flowers, i feel like that valiant statue would be nicer🤩

Maybe Leif will become a part of a Cranny?

Right! I just moved it today and put it further back in hopes of a 2nd story

I had a doghouse and food bowl set up with a MODEL
Wow I love those mushroom lights😍
red lodge
What is this about a snapping turtle?
coral moat
mush lamps are dope
red lodge
Do they move if you place them??
woven drift
No
nah but they look real so they’re the closest to a dog you’ll have as a pet and not a neighbor
look how close my my rs is to my airport😔
If you interact with them they make a noise too
red lodge
I gotta catch two!

Mines the exact same @woven drift

You only need one you don’t need to make models

One for the museum

Any ideas for what to put next to my house? Already have the big fishing pond and flowers- the back trees are peach. On the top level so can't add a waterfall fountain etc.

@craggy igloo i feel like adding furniture or bushes
subtle olive
What should i do with the space in front of my museum ? I want an item to put in the square of grass (preferably something low) but i'm open to suggestions for the whole space ?
craggy igloo
Yeah I know I need furniture I don't know what though. I have the pond thing but other than that..
woven drift
oh dang there was a whole chapter in 1963 about that nickname
dim knoll
@subtle olive you could do a waterfall in the middle
jolly rose
@subtle olive maybe the great or valiant statue?
subtle olive
@dim knoll i don't really like 1x1 waterfall
dim knoll
Ohh almost forgot it cant be 3x1
woven drift
But a fridge with an amber on top, turn fridge backwards itll look like a display pillar!
icy tulip
Played around with the mailbox trick and this area has never looked better!
subtle olive
@jolly rose i'd rather have a low item (something that doesn't hide the entrance) and i already have enough statue (i have the valliant off screen)
woven drift
Museum panel maybe?
fair fiber
I’m finally starting to do yards because uh I hated doing those but I need to- anyone have any ideas or things they’ve done? Fence, area of the yard, etc
I know they’re all different but basic ideas to build off are🙌
woven drift
Or astronaut suit?
jolly rose
@subtle olive maybe a nova lamp or A shell fountain
subtle olive
@woven drift i don't really like panel (they look weird when they aren't against something)
jolly rose
Or maybe the Skull fossil
dim knoll
@fair fiber you could make strokes with dirt and place flowers on it then surround them with those wooden fences
subtle olive
@jolly rose yeah a nova lamp or the skull fossil could be good but the shell fountain is 1.5x1.5 so it'll be off centered :(
fair fiber
@dim knoll oooh ty!
midnight root
does anyone have inspo or tips on planning flowers? I want to try to keep a small patch of each color and type but it looks so messy right now
jolly rose
@subtle olive Put the Australopithecus fossil on a Podium
dim knoll
@subtle olive i actually feel like placing in that square those bushes and in the middle a 1x1 table with a little fossil on it
woven drift
@subtle olive if you turn a white fridge/cooler backwards so the doors are facing away you can use them as display stands
outer saffron
@subtle olive what abt a nova light
opaque birch
@midnight root there's a good link somewhere of flower bunches. I'll try find them or message you the screen shots
subtle olive
@jolly rose yeah good idea for the podium i think i'll do that

Question can guests to your island place down designs or erase them by kicking?

the house is 5 (or 7? something odd anyway) wide, the stairs are 2 wide, it wont be even no matter - id say maybe move the house either beside the ramp, or just further away so it looks like it was purposely not even

Im not sure if i should a diner type area in front of the Nook's or if i should make it a seperate area.
upper pine
@woven drift oh thx but someone help me already 💙
keen quiver
@sudden basalt maybe something like this? Red being either bushes or hedge fencing, yellow being flower beds? I think hibiscus would look cool if you did bushes, and maybe some white flowers like tulips and/or cosmos?
sudden basalt
@keen quiver thanks so much for your suggestions 🥰

I currently just have my 260,000 bell Grand Piano in the middle of my plaza because I was proud of how I managed to save up all that money in one night (I haven’t bought turnips before)
heady hemlock
Does Isabelle give specific feedback on which kinds of items I need to boost rating? Like if she mentions that I can buy stuff on nook shopping, does she mean I need more nook items (as opposed to diy or miles?)
leaden orbit
@heady hemlock yes, she is pretty specific, usually if she mentions buying more from nook shopping, just need more non crafted items on the island
heady hemlock
Thanks @leaden orbit
opaque birch
@heady hemlock it depends how many drinks she's had
heady hemlock
@leaden orbit does she always tell me what I’m lowest on? Or once she stops telling me about something I’m done
opaque birch
If she's too drunk in the afternoon she'll just tell you your island sucks
heady hemlock
Yesterday was decor, then infra. Then I built a bridge, then it was back to decor
opaque birch
Gotta get her in the mornings
You need to get the minimum trees and flowers and fences
heady hemlock
@opaque birch “your island ish shwaying too much hic”
opaque birch
Then you gotta put furniture in every grid
heady hemlock
Ah maybe it’s a grid thing. I have about 35 each of DIY and nook
20 miles tix items
leaden orbit
@heady hemlock pretty much. She will tell you what you need and if you do that, she may say you then need other things. It’s just doing what she says until it gets there 😂
Tbh I got mine really fast unexpectedly, idk what I did exactly
opaque birch
Isabelle in the morning - "You need more fencing!"
Isabelle by late afternoon - "Too many fences, can't climb over the bastards to take the shortcut home hic"
heady hemlock
Yeah, she only recently started changing her recommendations so I feel like I’m getting close

Can anyone help me design the front decoration for resident service?

I fixed the flower and tree problems she had with me, now it's just more decorating from cliff to sea

do a bridge thingy that a lot of people are doing

Honestly it feels far enough

@woven drift you should decide for you but I think this is totally fine
@frail shuttle i want to mix these to themes
@forest dagger what do you mean?
forest dagger
Speaking of close RS and airports... anyone have any tips for me. Mines 4 blocks away lol
heady hemlock
Do nook miles diys count as diy items or nook items in island rating points?
frail shuttle
@forest dagger I'd make a path going from airport to the middle of plaza, and raise a mountain even closer on the right if it's allowed
forest dagger
@woven drift something like this is common
near delta
I really like the islands that have a city feel to them, but I kind of prefer the more open island like mine. Though perhaps I could implement more trees and bushes where I can, but I’ll figure that another day
forest dagger
@frail shuttle even closer up towards the front of the island? or to the left so it's closer to RS
woven drift
@forest dagger yo this is really cool, might aswell make it on my island lol
frail shuttle
It's very pretty indeed!
forest dagger
yeah i really like that design too but mines too close 😦
frail shuttle
@forest dagger no like the column between rh and your mountain

My islands resident services is really close but I made something like this
near delta
RS is too close than It needs to be so I just did this
forest dagger
So something like this instead? @frail shuttle
tawdry sky
frail shuttle
@forest dagger yes and remove the fence so you can make a path leading to somewhere else in the back

Oh and ignore the ropes, that‘s temporary
You know what, maybe I’ll ditch the roads at some point to put in bushes

Sorry to ping you again @frail shuttle but thoughts on the path?
humble echo
@forest dagger you could have make cliffs to block it and start your path on the right
near delta
@forest dagger oh god I thought my RS was the closest to the airport
heady hemlock
Regarding island ratings, how are points tallied for items. If I have 10 nook miles items in 2 grid squares, is that worse than spreading them out among more squares?
frail shuttle
@forest dagger yeah it's cool, add some bushes/flowers and it should be ok imo
humble echo
@heady hemlock I don't think nook miles items are 10 items. I only have 4 and I have 5 stars
near delta
Bushes and flowers work, or actually, how about some of those palm tree lamps
I think that would look neat
latent shell
Just finished terraforming my Ables hehe ☺️✨
frail shuttle
@latent shell very pretty!
forest dagger
lol idk if theres even space for those palm tree lamps
near delta
Oh yeah you’re right, it’s 2x2
frail shuttle
But the hyas lights would fit though
heady hemlock
@humble echo hmm I just moved a piece to a grid that had none and now she’s back to fencing
near delta
I learned that the hard way when I tried to put them on my waterfall, it was a pain
forest dagger
hyas lights?
near delta
I went with something else instead

Hyacinth lamps

oh i dont think ive seen those

@humble echo and I have a ton of fencing. Maybe I need to spread it out
worn hornet
Can y'all post photos of youre plazas? Looking for inspiration
humble echo
@heady hemlock well yeah u can spread them out! But u don't need 10 items if u don't want to. Mine are spread out as well
heady hemlock
I think there are diminishing returns for the same block
frail shuttle
@forest dagger
forest dagger
@humble echo thanks for the advice! ive thought about blocking it off with a cliff, but since my RS border is right next to the airport exit, i think i would have to make my entrance only 1 block if i wanted to do that

@forest dagger oh I see, I think it's unique that it's close! Not something you see everyday on this channel

@ionic bluff well if you put a custom design on the floor the rock cannot spawn. Idk it was a stupid idea but once my sister found her credit card in her fridge so we never know

@frail shuttle ahh I placed mannequins
frail shuttle
@ionic bluff do you want me to come to your island to look for the hidden rock? Maybe fresh eyes can notice it
fierce night
@ionic bluff the same happened to me ironically I kept passing the rock a million times... there is always 6 so it is somewhere just check every spot on your island carefully
reef cove
The last rock is always the most annoying, make sure to check your flower areas, theyre usually hiding there most often

@ionic bluff i've always wanted to do a rock garden but am so lazy to get started. how long did that take you?
frail shuttle
@ebon basin it takes a few hours, it mostly depends on how much decorated your island already is

My sister is playing right now and I'm bored so I'm planning, I still don't know what to do for an area centered around a moon

I was thinking white roses and lilies and a pond with an island, can you place the moon on a stone table?

Anyone know what I should make Judy as a themed area
frosty ivy
@river cypress Hmm, something starry

I was thinking of doing that for filbert
Since it’s the interior of his house maybe a salon ? With rattan furniture?
White or brown rattan?

@frail shuttle thanks! shall try this

Anyone know any paths that have corners and will go nicely with the lotus circle?

Does this path look good? Should I use anything other? Do you have any recommendations? (Default or design?)

It's hard cause her house is kinda basic
@frosty ivy ya maybe like colorful stuff hmm
Her house is basic and you can’t find stuff for a salon

I have this small patch of land between my museum and beach spa (marked it out for scale) but it’s the FIRST thing you see as you fly into my island - any creative ways to make it interesting?😫💓

So I need some ideas to place my pagoda for pekoes house should I do it facing side ways or the back showing forward?

@woven dew I would maybe just put more flowers, shrubs, trees etc, But I love nature 😄 Like a jungle

For island rating, should I spread my fencing around all the grid squares? I have >50 but she is still saying decorate from sea to stream with fencing

Any ideas on what I can put on the sides?

If anyone is struggling to terraform like I am. I'd figured that this video would help us out alot.

I’m having a bit of trouble with the layers of land... how can I create eye pleasing scenery while also not ultimately amalgamating my island with a messy look of different level ground?

jagged snow
Hi! Unlocked terraforming a few days ago and not enjoying it, didn't realise my island was THIS big. Anyone got any ideas for how to use space?
fair fiber
@jagged snow if you feel like your island is too large, adding cliffs and ponds are a great way to size it down!! There’s a lot of online videos you can watch on making good looking cliffs, or you could ask for ideas too.
As a fellow minimalist, making islands of just cliffs and whatnot have really helped me haha
frosty spruce
@jagged snow here’s what i did with my map if it helps any!

Anybody know the code for that sandy fox footprints for the secret beach

Any layouts suggestions?

@frosty spruce I got some big projects in mind and going to be extending the fairy core 😌
weary vale
Any ideas what I could add to clutter up mu little reading area?
fair fiber
Bookshelves, panels of windows,
weary vale
@fair fiber the big bookshelf doesn't really fit in the area 😩
manic lantern
I personally would add a tree right here. kinda in-between those 2 paths to make the area look more full
weary vale
Ooh I'll try that
fair fiber
You could terraform around, make a second level! Here was something I was looking at earlier @weary vale
not my own work!
manic lantern
maybe even switch it up using a cedar tree to look more natural
@fair fiber I needed to see this thank you haha

Heyyy guysss

hey currently terraforming my island and i'm wondering whats the house size of the villagers. is it 6x6 or 4x5 or 3x4
weary vale
@prime forge ugh I also have a big open space like that idk what to do with
fair fiber
@prime forge orchid? Expand the little cafe for a full one? Bushes to line the path- maybe an airport ‘waiting’ area?
woven drift
I’m fine with keeping a huge empty space for convenience sake
weary vale
@ancient iron the pins might be able to help! I think the houses are 4x5 or something but there's a pin with yard sizes
sharp stump
Is there anyone here that build like a closed community for the villagers? And has like just shared common spaces
sinful drift

Do people have residential areas they wanna share or if not how did u know where to place the houses?

I did that with my old layout, two shared yards

My houses are together but not perfect on 3 levels 🙂@sharp stump @stiff urchin

Ok my turn to ask for help >.<
I made a little farm for Zucker and I wanna make something close by for Marina that’s similar where both areas were alike in terms of product/use
Any ideas?

@weary vale mine is similar to this. I originally liked 3 tier houses but mine ate up like 4-5 inclines and I was sad hahah
weary vale
@fair fiber hmm maybe a flower farm?
manic lantern
@fair fiber you could try and have them share that area together. for example I placed marina and sucker's homes on the beach and they share that part of the beach together as if they're actual lovers
weary vale
@sharp stump I only used 2 inclines and I don't think its inconvenient! Maybe all on two levels? Or all in a line?
manic lantern
@fair fiber I'm not too sure exactly what is the distance between the two homes in your case tho. Do you mind sharing images
fair fiber
Ooh I totally could, ty!
weary vale
@fair fiber oh wait I misread your question lol sorry
rain prawn
I did have a closed neighborhood and they had mini shared yards but I moved out 4 of the houses
cosmic vector
its not finished yet...but what r ur thoughts?
ancient iron
hey also i have a peach island and the service centre is very close to the airport. I made an airport waiting area on the right side of the airport and i'm stuck on what to do
spring matrix
Should I add anything??
weary vale
@cosmic vector cute!! I personally hated my orchard because of how much space it took up. Maybe you could add a little fruit picking area like a picnic blanket and buckets and benches ❤️
cosmic vector
Thats cute thx
manic lantern
@ancient iron hmm can you show us the area that you're struggling with
sinful drift
Should I add anything??
@spring matrix
Maybe instead of green, you could contrast it with brown bamboo and wood
fair fiber
I actually haven’t moved Marinas house yet since I wanted to get an idea of exactly how much space I needed. But there’s a huge space of room to work with, including a lower level for add ons. But if you still want a picture lmk

Its so simple but satisfying, but i need cottagecore flower overlays, i dont like the ones i have now anymore
velvet sphinx
What flowers should I put around my cafe? Xx
weary vale
@sinful drift I actually love how you did that!! Makes the space look so much bigger because of the cliff

White hyacinths!!!

My dudes what kind of furniture would you use to line the front of paths like this?
fair fiber
Whites and blues or whites and purples in my opinion! I would add plank flooring as well @velvet sphinx

Anyone know the name of that large bubbling pot with the wooden lid?
ancient iron
any ideas would work!
weary vale
@frosty ivy is it the soup pot thing?
manic lantern
@ancient iron okay by the looks of your map it seems that you have decent amount of space from the Airport to the RS. You can play with terraforming and create some hills that makes a path to the RS
frosty ivy
@weary vale Yes! I dunno the name tho
weary vale
@frosty ivy soup kettle?? 😰

Potluck or somehing i think?? Fondue?
