@cherry, try bring up your map on your phone, that'll give us a better idea of the layout

woven drift
#

Ok!

#

mothra stoooop you're so talented!!!

copper quiver
#

oh god... who did I just @ ?

woven drift
gilded fiber
woven drift
#

@woven drift I’d recommend putting fences around the villager houses and give them their own backyards. Also be more consistent with your paths

hazy raven
#

@copper quiver heck yeah! I've been asking what ppl are doing with their garden area for their hybrids. Mine takes up so much space. I was thinking of maybe getting rid of it but I dunno

atomic comet
#

i was thinking about making this a garden but i’m not sure. any ideas? i already have a stargazing area/ library and an outdoor cafe

copper quiver
#

I really just want the black and purple flowers, although many of those seem to be the 2 step hybrids

woven drift
#

Ok! @woven drift do u think you could give some ideas? For pathways idk how to do it actually lol

green cedar
barren karma
#

@scenic blaze hey hey! i need some help, if i post a lil video can you help :')

copper quiver
#

oh... you can plant on dirt paths but not sand?

scenic blaze
#

i'm half afk but sure!

gilded fiber
#

@atomic comet maybe use both colors of first instead of making it all one color, that could add a cool aesthetic

woven drift
#

@woven drift for the houses near the rivers, try terraforming the rivers to make more space or just put the houses in a different area

hazy raven
#

@barren karma it's so nice and prettyyy. I haven't even gotten to my beach 😩

woven drift
#

Ok ty!

copper quiver
#

if you can't do a backyard, try setting it like a stage. create an environment around the house

atomic comet
#

@gilded fiber i think i might turn it into a farmers market type because it’s near my town center

gilded fiber
#

does anyone have a more developed island i could visit?? i’m not trying to steal anything i just want layout ideas and i wanna see what other have done

barren karma
woven drift
#

@woven drift np, also try making your paths 3 spaces wide instead of alternating with 4 and 1. It give more space for extra furniture and makes it look much neater

night tundra
#

Im looking to make a waiting room at the front of my island where the airport comes out cuz i do a lot of trade, anyone got any ideas of what i can put? Was thinking some chairs vending machines arcade and something in the middle with an arch to get intorest of island

green cedar
muted anchor
#

I don’t rly do backyards for my villagers, Just make pretty scenery around their houses, this is sherb’s

woven drift
#

@green cedar I think it looks great! Your rivers might need work but it looks wonderful so far

green cedar
#

@woven drift I just fixed it and now I hate it LOLL

scenic blaze
#

@barren karma i think one of those edge patterns that add interesting edges to the default paths would be really cute here! and some garden lanterns along the sides here and there

copper quiver
#

wow, Sherb has the same house as my bear son, Kody

woven drift
#

@green cedar you’re too strict on yourself, it looks great

barren karma
#

i see, i see... its difficult bc im using so many custom design spots gastoncrysobotl

dense thunder
#

I am in need of creativity or help with my island layout. Anyone wanna help me? I’ll pay lots of nmt

ebon bough

green cedar
#

@woven drift I've been considering moving the homes on top and on the sides near in beach in rows of four. Would that look good?

copper quiver
#

y'all, you don't need creativity help. just try stuff. get dirty and make mistakes.

polar kraken
muted anchor
#

inspiration is good, but trial and error helps even more

woven drift
#

@green cedar I really like your villager layout rn but try using a website to see if you like it

copper quiver
#

creativity comes from challenges and problem solving.

green cedar
#

You know what? I spent 1mil experimenting and I'm proud! I saw what could be fixed and can improve. I'll try using a website too.

#

@green cedar Wondeful! but that 1 mil tho lmao

Alright so I am trying to have a national park type enterance anyone got a suggestion?

gilded fiber
#

huh?

vernal panther

#

@gilded fiber you can't ask someone to draw you a map in this channel.

woven drift
#

@vernal panther that terraforming is amazing

gilded fiber
#

oh, i’ve seen tons of other people do it before though...

vernal panther
#

Thank you dude!

merry bough
#

@manic lantern lawnmower + weed combo is always nice

copper quiver
vernal panther

#

I'm wanting to border flora's with bamboo rather than a fence

green cedar
#

@copper quiver it's super nice! Maybe a pool or something might help tie it together, just a suggestion

hazy raven
#

@manic lantern I like the lavender garden!

copper quiver
#

@green cedar I was thinking of trying to figure a volleyball thing. perhaps with a rope fence.

woven drift
#

@vernal panther I love how you made your rock garden into like a construction site, so creative!

coral bison
green cedar
#

@copper quiver that'd be awesome! I can picture her and the others playing volleyball

slender charm
#

anyone have a two tier cafe? or just a cafe in general?

lyric sparrow
#

i have the whole bottom left side of my map empty. any ideas/recommendations with what i should build??

vernal panther
#

@woven drift Thank you! It's supposed to be like an interactive museum exhibit!

hidden vessel
copper quiver
#

may also scatter actual sea shells on there.

woven drift
#

@lyric sparrow maybe an amusement park since you have a lot of empty space

#

@hidden vessel it’s adorable!!

keen oyster
#

im not sure what to build on this cliff.. my theme for my island is cottage core/natureish.. any ideas? 🤔

woven drift
#

@keen oyster outdoor library?

hidden vessel
#

@woven drift thank uu it took a long time lol

#

Opnions needed

Hey guys I’m just about to start working on my neighbourhood area and I’m stuck between 2 different styles of how I want to do it (I know people will say it depends on your theme or what style your going for) but I want the opnions of what you guys would rather like to see

So I’m thinking of either going for a modern style neighbourhood with flower beds and trees all down the middle isles, these will not have customised yards or anything just the houses like seen in the first photo or having them placed around in a line with each house having customised yards but a more smaller area between them like in the second photo
(Not my photos btw, just inspo)

Please help me out y’all

hidden vessel
#

@keen oyster antique shop?

keen oyster
#

@woven drift i love that idea, thank you!

woven drift
#

@soft sparrow first pic

soft sparrow
#

Obviously they won’t look the exact same but more like the style used

woven drift
#

@hidden vessel that’s a really cool idea

keen oyster
#

@hidden vessel that’s another good idea- imma build that in my market place area

hidden vessel
#

@soft sparrow I think the first option would be cute for the summer

copper quiver
#

Here's Cube's area. Kinda snack/toy inspired. Like a 10 year old's dream home. 5 fantasy bucks to whoever can guess what the custom tiles are based on.

hidden vessel
#

@woven drift omg I just realized ur profile pic ahaha I watched that movie yesterday!! It was rlly good lmao

storm bluff
#

@soft sparrow hi! i've seen you post this so many times. im going to be one of those people that says it depends on your theme and what style youre going for. at the end of the day ths is Your island, it isn't anyone else's island. you live on it youre building it up. is there a reason why you would rather us choose ?

woven drift
#

oh haha yeah i’ve watched it a few times it’s one of my favorites!

copper quiver
#

probably should've used market stalls for the lemonade stand, but I wanted to make it look amature (and shady, on account of the petrol can nearby)

soft sparrow
#

Yeah sorry for posting it so much guys 😅 it’s I’m just really conflicted on like which style I actually want and since either way I’m gonna want people to see my island at some point I’d like to have some opnions on like what people would rather like to see but yeah it’s just I’m really indecisive on which one I actually want

rugged sail
#

Anyone have any inspo for a shop area ?

storm bluff
#

@soft sparrow if you're indecisive, why dont you separate your houses into 2 neighborhoods and do smaller areas incorporating each style?

manic lantern
woven drift
#

@soft sparrow i personally like the first one better... but it’s not my island! just do whatever you think looks the best

drifting lake
#

Is there any light option that might do better at illuminating the effects behind the stage?

austere fog
#

Two neighborhoods is a great idea, I have 3 on my island and a few hermits villagers here and there bc i don’t want to only do a single theme for my entire island

woven drift
#

i have no idea what i’m gonna do with this part yet hmmmmm

glad galleon
#

@keen oyster zen garden.

stone pilot
#

Any tiki bar that i can get inspo?

pale vector
#

Anyone have pictures of some ideas for entrance ways? 🙂

drifting lake
#

@stone pilot I disassembled mine so I can’t get you pics but IMO the best looking setup for the bar part is backwards den desks with stalls behind

woven drift
stone pilot
#

@drifting lake il upload my bar and you can tive my feedback?

drifting lake
#

Fine by me

glad galleon
#

@drifting lake could build some small cliffs behind the panels and then place the lights there, so the light show is above the stage instead of on it. Make it look a bit better. If you don’t like the idea of cliffs, use some lockers.

drifting lake
#

What lights would help illuminate the panels below? I’m not too versed in the lighting effects in acnh

vague drift
#

anybody have some park inspiration?

glad galleon
#

I think for the bottom portion of the lights you’re better off with some spot lights instead of the floor lights. Looks more natural.

#

I have 2 concepts for the lower left entrance plaza. Can you give feedback on both like which you would prefer or suggestions? Note that the light yellow squares are furniture and such while the brick colored squares are fencing. (Except for the big blot near the residental district.)

@stone pilot maybe add some shell designs on the sand

@pure birch maybe add some cedar trees. you could also find qr code stone path and maybe add a wishing well. i’m not sure if this is exactly what your looking for but it’s sorta a fairy garden thing? not sure if it’ll help.

What do u think about this layout for a backyard / exterior. I'm thinking of adding natural tables and chairs or something.

anybody have any ideas for what i should do for my island to follow my island theme? i was thinking of doing a cottage core theme, and if not that, then a hiking trip thingy theme

#

wanted to share my “Help, he landed on my island and destroyed my purple flowers!” garden 😊
@storm bluff you are so talented and creative, it looks amazing!!

south imp
#

@nocturne shard cottagecore is a really great idea, there’s so many cottagecore islands and there’s always a lot of inspo out there. if you wanted to do a hiking theme i’d recommend using lots of signs and directions. i’ve also seen a lot of people line up their bikes so it looks like a bike rental if you’d want to try that

warm dew
#

What you guys think of this fencing? Should I change it? It’s for Ribbot the Jock Frog

wet ore
#

@south imp you are so lucky!!!! Your entrance to RS is parallel to your airport. You can add some color like flowers but besides that it looks great

pure birch
#

@warm dew Another fencing you could use is the imperial one, or the stone-iron one. those look super good next to houses!

south imp
#

@wet ore thanks for the advice! i think that’s what i’ll do today. i’m just waiting for leif to come so i can grab some bushes

I know this is random but..Anybody have any good wooden flooring codes? I need some for my beach cafe, so it would be lovely if you could stay in that genre.

The café area with the cake is right next to my airport and it seems a little empty / looks awkward ?!

shrewd ocean
#

@heavy summit this is mine. I still need to add some more shrubs to the outside and my shops are in front of the waterfall

south imp
#

@main hazel i think it’s because it’s on a small raised bit of land. usually inclines lead to bigger areas. i’d also recommend making it more into a cafe. maybe add a few stalls? you can also use the dark wood pathing to make a nice flooring. i think you should either make the 2nd level much bigger or maybe just demolish it and create a bigger cafe

#

So I like to personalize each villager’s yard on my island... I’ve been having trouble trying to decorate Ellie’s since she’s new and all I got from her personality is that she might like flowers...?? Any ideas?

@frosty creek maybe try waterfalls on the sides? I’d move the street lamps like a half step to the side and move the gold roses 1 square back to add more depth.

This is my layout, I thought I’d spread them out and then seen everyone groups them together. It’s a bit more tricky but it allows me to add little parks and be creative with the empty spaces I’ve left myself.

I personally like themed islands more, but you can also do large sections that have different themes too

Themes make it easier to decorate in my opinion 🤷🏽‍♀️

I took a lot of time on this neighborhood and wanted to know if there was anyway I can turn this into a more natural look without destroying all the terreforming. Or just another idea for something to go here would be really helpful.

Anybody got any mini town inspo?

vivid linden
#

@timid mulch wow each of ur villagers has like huge plots of land i would like reduce that or double it up and make it easier to decorate

stark atlas
#

here are some examples of small personalized tiny yards for villagers! the key imo is that i change the fencing to match each villager, change out the flowers to match their house and/or fav colors, and include 1-2 pieces of furniture in front/behind that fits them! and then i use the extra space for ~community areas~ so it doesn’t feel like my villagers don’t have their space! villager houses in the pics: 1) flurry-stu, 2) biskit, 3) erik-cherry, 4) cyd, 5) audie-poppy!

I love that!

is there any way to smooth out these points?

You’ll have to add a corner spot where I marked the white and smooth that out. It’ll keep the 2 edges you have otherwise

@chilly saffron what im doing is a hill but tuck in the able sisters into it a little bit and then put nook's cranny on the hill

pine spruce
#

i personally prefer the flat island look bc it reminds me more of city folk and new leaf, the games i played, but i think ^ that way would look really cool; it's how i did my villagers' houses

@faint whale thats what im thinking too

@fringe thicket okay do a 3 wide and whatever length you want and put wood pathing then log stakes- try to have the matching

tropic raft

Or maybe shopping area

I would do a 3wide x 2 length

So have log stakes on the edges and a walkway in the middle

Okk i’ll try that i had a 2x3 but i felt it was too big lol

Yea the planks needs to be weathered and darker. Maybe put rope fence at the end of you can

Do rope

@glacial lily your bad because you haven't practiced enough

@glacial lily I feel like cottagecore is just plant patterns on the ground, picnic blankets, and wooden furniture - maybe some decorative weeds and limited colour palette flowers

@austere finch maybe plain grass, maybe straw, or (debatable) terracotta

Hmmmmmmm ok ty

#

Everything else looks great but I suck at path designs 😦

viral maple
#

@austere finch all I could think of

restive tangle
#

@austere finch I personally like using dirt and a custom design for some stepping stones, and a raised wooden deck area for sitting as well

viral maple
#

Ahhh, do you have online?

austere finch
#

Yes

viral maple
#

You can find a code somewhere, and put it into the design machine, I’ll try and find a video on how to do it if you don’t know. Then you can find a custom design and put its code in!

austere finch
#

Oh I just figured I’d try to be creative and do it myself 😅

viral maple
#

Ahh! Ok ahhah. Makes sense.

austere finch
#

I love everyone sharing their designs though. It’s helped me a lot making half of my city as a city/suburb mix to represent city folk

viral maple
#

I have 5 days to complete my island. My online runs out then and I use ALOT of custom paths

restive tangle
#

Is anyone else bothered by how those custom paths don't show up on the map like regular ones? T_T

south vale
viral maple
#

@restive tangle YES! SO MUCH! Most the time, if it doesn’t show I out normal paths under it.

swift depot
#

Do you really need online subscription to USE custom paths? I thought it was only required to use the kiosk and download custom stuff but once you have it you can keep and use it

empty lotus
#

There are many things about custom paths that bother me. They don't map, they don't sound like anything underfoot, and they're easily erased among other things

restive tangle
#

@viral maple What if its just those stepping stones/wood paths/brick paths kind of thing? Is there any other way to get around it because sometimes i like the grass showing under :/

hearty crypt

#

@restive tangle not sure ;-;

@hearty crypt Streetlamps perhaps? maybe some rop fencing and some museum pieces outside in that area like the small fossils/statues

@hearty crypt flowers, shrugs, hedges?

@hearty crypt flowers fix EVERYTHINGGGG

#

ahh i was thinking of putting the rope fences

#

@hearty crypt country fences look good aswell.

restive tangle

I personally love the look of 'overgrown' country fences by replacing a couple of the country fences with hedges here and there

viral maple
#

Ooh, that’s hot. @restive tangle

empty lotus
#

A mixture of hedges, azaleas, and country fence works well, at least in fall. Azaleas are the only shrub that changes colour almost exactly the same as hedges

@empty lotus I only like summer and spring in animal crossing for some reason lol

@viral maple If you check on #redd-paintings-and-statues , sometimes the fake statues go for more than the real paintings so its definitely worth just buying whatever statue is there unless its one of the small ugly ones
