I too would like to see shop surroundings, having a hard time on what to put in the spaces right next to Nooks and Ables
i put a restaurant next to my nooks
@worthy python a good way to arrange shops is to make a Main Street from new leaf
@desert patio I really like that layout!!
Here’s my map so far
i like the pathing to the player profile houses
Ty I’m extending the water now
hey guys, this is my island connection thingie and i like it so far but it feels like smthn is kinda missing any suggestions?
this is my set up as of rn
@terse thicket I think a fountain would look really good there
maybe a tree c: @terse thicket
guys I need inspiration for decorating a beach xD
those sound like great ideas thanksss :)
what should i put in front of my rs? i was thinking of a little hangout area but i don’t have room 😔
i would just put a path and some flowers or weeds-
This is my map so far
@woven drift sure do you wanna vist or what?
@reef cobalt ah sorry for the late reply my islands still here if u would like to visit
my island is so ugly grr idk what to do with it
Just finished my library
omg the acorn arch way is so cute
I want my villagers to have their own designated area now 😭 but I also want it to be fair core what do ??(this area I need to work on )
Anyone have any ideas what I can do for Marshal's garden?
my map might be a lil ugly but its okay when u visit haha dm me if u would like to have a look around:)
Building a bamboo garden area and want to use the zen wall as a border, but it feels too boring and flat. Any ideas on how to make it better?
Maybe add a waterfall or two to spice it up a bit
can y’all post your island entrances - especially ones that have waterfalls? i need ideas
maybe use imerpial partitions
@drowsy pike
How should I make my map with this layout? I hate it and need advice lol
If someone has any ideas pls ping me bc I’m hopeless at designing towns haha
My dock
i would love to tour anyone’s island for inspiration! i have some blank spots that i really need to fill! looking for white, natural, cottage core, or fairy islands! message me 🙂
has anyone designed their villager yards? could you please share what they look like? i really need some inspo
@last ferry can I have the code for the rope and starfish design ?
@errant socket Ya, dm me
has anyone designed their villager yards? could you please share what they look like? i really need some inspo
@nimble bone i just did natural stuff with flowers/shrubs/fence/cypress plant. basic flowers around and hybrids for infront of their house https://i.redd.it/fldis13xcc251.jpg
any fairy garden inspiration pics?
Anybody got any tropical themed island pictures
@sharp stump thank you so much!
i need rock farm inspo!!
Does anyone have ideas for building entrances that are a distance from the airport? Idk what to do
Same 😔 idk how to start it
i think u should start with choosing a solid theme then just go off of that
I guess it’s best to make a general plan on how to tackle things so it doesn’t feel as overwhelming
That looks amazing wow
^
pls be kind this is my first map i’ve ever laid out and i’m proud of it- but what should i do with my house? not a fan of the heart shape
You could clear out that area and make some sort of neat waterfall structure around it
Maybe try connected it to those rivers?
oooo good ideas!!
Maybe a circle would be a better shape to work with.
u mean for all my rivers? i’m pretty happy with the bunny so idk
No I mean for your house island. I think the bunny shape is a cool idea
ohhh that makes a lot more sense hahah, definitely going to try that!! ty!! ^^
The lag is real but it’s worth it 😔
not mine ^^
@steel sandal type this into the search bar! "in: island-layouts has:image map"
I’ve been playing for a month now and my island is completely bare. I really don’t know when to begin.
@honest flume have you thought about a theme or overall vibe youd want for your island?
does anyone need some black tulips or roses for their island, ive got way to many and they are in the way of my terraforming
@worn cove love the flower colour combos!
Ty!
I'm trying to make a waterfall/cliff near my entrance, but i'm kinda confused as to where to go with it, and also how to get rid of those ugly corners LOL because they just simply won't go away no matter what.
@storm bluff Yeah. I’m going for a natural sort of look with many hidden areas and secrets around the place. I want it to be mostly pine forest.
@honest flume omg you should visit my island that sounds a lot like what i have!
@fathom grove you can't get rid of them if you keep those waterfalls unfortunately
@tidal void ahh, so how do i fix it up and make it look.. normal? 🥴
@fathom grove I would look at other waterfall pictures and try and replicate the shapes you like!
@storm bluff Sounds interesting! Can you send some pics of the island?
anyone know any white/gold items that pair well with the Zodiac set?
Where can we send wedding photos cause I wanna show what I did hahah
@fathom grove i'm with morgan on that- try looking for inspo and maybe take out the waterfall on the left
@fathom grove maybe try making those corners into squares instead? I created something similar and used this as a basis
omg its so stupid i make this whole beautiful wedding ceremony section and i get 7 heart crystals
@left shoal there’s so many white items in the game!!
@honest flume
i meant white/gold, like together
@storm bluff oh my lord that is beautiful
@woven drift HELP LOOOL
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
@left shoal i mixed my zodiac area with white instruments like the piano, harp, and cello
@tidal void i tried, but they all are nothing remotely similar, so I can't even get a simple idea on how to build off of/take inspo of that.
@woven drift a work of art.
@storm bluff Im excited to see my island 😢
Could someone give me some ideas or maybe even help me design my island using the website I will pay bells or NMT private message me if you want to help would be much apprictard x
anyone have any ideas for outside of books cranny and able sisters ?
@young junco you’re actually not allowed asking for commissions here but lots of ideas in the chat you can use to design your island yourself!
my map looks so ugly nfkdnfnbdjdjs
i think im just gonna scrap everything LOL
I don’t even focus on my map layout at all, only when it comes to lining up houses but that’s it
anyone got a tropica island I can visit for inspiration
Yes many people here will give amazing tips and inspo totally for free if your looking for something specific rn
Can someone help with my 2 star island? Or is this the wrong channel
woah @last ferry that’s sick
If someone has the same layout as mine I’d love to see what you have done with it!
I like coming in this channel to see inspiration, but then when I see something cool I realise mine would never be that good 😢
gonna cry bc my sister completely wiped everything i did on my island and now i have 0 inspiration/motivation
I focus a lot on my map, for personal satisfaction more than anything
@woven current Thanks, sadly I had to destroy this it was too close to my resident services
Can anyone help me with ideas on what to put in this area?
@last ferry whats ur map?
@jolly depot Pardon?
@clear fable can you share with us more information about your island like if it has a theme and/or areas that youve already built ? could help us narrow down a few options for you
@last ferry your map like the app can you show me a picture?
Here's my enterace thus far--what do you guys think? 
@jolly depot My entrance is the only thing complete right now sorry.
@echo sparrow oh wow that's awful 😢 definitely take a break for a few days to let the trauma sink in, but after that you can search for inspiration and do something you really want to do
does anyone have their town hall close to their airport bc idk how to do the entrance
@young junco my rivers are in a similar spot!
Well she likes it so
@rose summit mines close aswell
@storm bluff the theme is very farm life and rosey and my island is currently undone so nothing is built yet
@storm locust That looks soooo cute omg
@weary vale i love what you hve done
@last ferry Thats fine I just want to see if there is any way you can keep that entrance
@clear fable why dont you make a little farmers market using stalls ?
ah okay thank you @last ferry
@young junco thanks! It deff took a long time and a lot of mistakes
Can someone help with my 2 star island?
@rose summit No problem
@worldly notch thanks 😔 it’s already been a few weeks and she said she wasn’t gonna play anymore so her clearing my island was basically useless. i’m back at square one so hopefully i can at least make it into something i like
@rose summit Don’t make it symmetric, That would make it looking more Natural (idk if this is wrong what I have written, bc I’m German hehe 😂)
Does anyone have ideas for what I can put here?
@storm bluff that’s a cute idea actually, thank you 😊
Can anyone help me get rid of those corners? Or explain what shape the cliff needs to be in ordee to get rid of them?
@woven drift A mini forest area, a pond,
can someone that has their airport close to their town hall send a pic of their map so i can get a reference of how to design it :p
any tips on how to make this less awkward/better?
@woven drift picnic or stargazing spot next to the park?
@rose summit
@woven drift row of flowers and row of fence on both sides?
@woven drift I reccomend you make the water 1 extra to the side if you can and add some art statues on islands
😩 no one will help me (oh well)
@weary vale I already have a lot of picnic areas but a stargazing spot sounds pretty cool, thanks!
at 2 stars literally just at fencing and flowers lol
@austere furnace 3 people gave you suggestions
^ we cant do the work for u bruh
Can someone help me figure out why my rocks won’t spawn here? They won’t spawn anywhere at all on the island
Oh
my map is kinda odd but i kinda like it
@jolly depot I have a pond right below here but I'm going to add more trees, thank you!
@faint saddle They can’t spawn on stone paths only grass and sand
Does anyone have the type of neghiborhood that’s like three tiers? Can you show me
@echo sparrow maybe you can do something lighthearted and crazy with it? Like come up with a wacky theme or all one type of villager, something that's totally different from your last island?
@last ferry I’m trying to get them to spawn in those gaps
I’m trying to build a river basin
New area I’m working on
@molten swallow I like the natural rivers and the fullness of the map
@faint saddle I don’t know then, maybe watch a tutorial to help you?
@jolly depot thank you so much!!
@molten swallow I feel like my map looks odd too because of the paving marks 😂
hit 5 stars and made a watermelon farm today :0 🍉
@weary vale ohh yeah same, i have these little dots for palm trees and it looks so weird haha!
@warm basalt those colours work so well
Here’s my orchard
Hi. My daughter is looking for anyone that has a fairy garden or fairy forest for inspiration. Please let me know.
@lime frost Idk if you want to do this but mabye adding some barrels
@tidal void thank u sm 😔❤️
@woven drift I love how you used house plants to look like crops on the dirt !!
:3 vineyard
@warm basalt so nice! love how the colors match your discord icon too haha xx
@woven drift i had a dream about your vineyard last night
@weary vale were we drinking wine in it 🍇
@woven drift i wish, I dreamt that I was helping you make a custom vine pattern to use on simple panels but then this morning I saw that you already had them LOL
I love the ice diys they fit everything!
I wanna use my ice furniture somewhere
@last ferry love how you made it fit the sand!
@storm bluff i didn’t even notice :00 must be my go-to colours
Do the street lamps look weird there if we’re pretending they are white? That little path leads to resident services on the right. Not sure what lighting to use
mush library? >.<
@buoyant violet I think white would look good!
What’s a good length and width dimensions for a villager neighborhood
Idk why many people don't like the ice sulptures but I think they're awesome!
It’s hard to fit :0 I had it somewhere else at first but it looked so weird haha
Do you guys give your villagers a big space with their house? Or just enough to put a few flowers and maybe 3-4 items around? Looking for some inspo :). Would love to see layouts!
I want to give them a big space!
I give them a 3x3 garden space
I’m trying to figure out the right dimensions of it ugh :/
Got to 5 stars this morning! Still have work to do, firming up some decisions on some blank areas and things to include, but happy with what I have and what I've learned so far!
What are the houses dimensions for the villagers?
looking for some inspo for flower gardens! I have all the flowers in the game but idk what is the best way to display them without taking too much space! Im already planning on a rainbow flower field, but what are some ways people are displaying flowers? TY!
I do
Exterior: 9 x 10
Interior: 7 x 8
This is a terrible photo of my villagers gardens
This river basin is so annoying to build
@empty current my neighbour hood is tiered with small lots- enough room for a tree and a couple flowers
I feel like I made mine too cluttered and want to redo the whole area lol. I saw someone do a 7×10 spot per house. I just dont know how much space 10 houses in that size would take up lol. How could I accurately measure a 7×10 plot btw?
@empty current dig holes with your shovel!
anything i should add to my TV place cinema thing
i wanted a palm but too little space 😦
@tidal void How many inclines did you use in your neighborhood? Trying to make sure I have enough for mine.
^^
does anyone have an tips on how to make a big crescent moon out of land??? i’m stuck w the dimensions
@deep dove just two so far- i've got the houses organized in sets of four in different areas of my island
does anyone else have their airport in the middle and in front is resident services?
hey does anybody have guides on how to make nature, and realistic looking cliffs?
@tidal void so 7 holes vertical and 10 horizontally? Lmao sorry I'm just new to the game and terraforming has been crazy 😫.
I have no idea on how to design my entrance since there's barely any space 😦
@tidal void Oh okay, so like maybe 2/3 different sets of 4?
yeah, but it depends how many houses you do on each level
How would you guys rate my layout?
True, yeah. I'm in the process of moving all my houses to the beach to terraform. Still trying to decide if I want one big neighborhood on one side of the island or two different ones on each side. Going for an urban theme I guess?
@tidal void Also, ty!
yeah of course!
can i see someones neighborhood layout?
My name is Joshua Kennard, I go to Backwell School
What should I put in this empty little area? (I already have a picnic close by and benches)
That sounds really cute!
I've been working on creating a nature preserve aesthetic on my island and created a hidden lake in the middle of a dense forest 
My farm~ working on flowers atm.
Has anyone got a picture of villager yard examples?
how do i make this less awkward? i moves my orchard to a diff spot so this is all blank now (: i already have a coffee/reading spot!
@rose summit
Hey guys! Does any of u have a 50s outside cafe? Im plannong to make one and i need some references 😊
Ah I need nooks and able sisters inspo
Ok so I can’t get this to not look weird, I think I’m just gonna remove it but does anybody have any ideas first on how to make it work?
Anyone have a Japanese style island, that I could get a map view of? Trying to get an idea of where to take mine
Has anyone got a picture of villager yard examples?
@oak thunder this is my neighborhood, if it helps, designed their yards according to their personalities and styles
anyone have an island that has a five star island i can visit?
for everyone who wanted to keep updated on my entrance, here it is so far! i still have the right hand side trees to do and then it's all done <3 i'm so happy with it right now
hey can anyone help me model my island
@wary coyote that’s so pretty!
Cafe/library coming together almost done
I'm making a "mushroom walkway" sort of thing. Any ideas/suggestions or good examples of other similar things? I know it needs trees, waiting until I finalize the design
Ok so guys I’ve been watching a lot of island videos and I fell in love with this one persons islands terraforming do you guys think it’s ok to use a lot of terraforming Inspo but add your own touch and decorate how you want?
Yes
what did you guys do around the plaza? i need help
I’m adding a lot of waterfalls and hills around it
LF island ideas or even someone that wants to just tell me what to do w my island
Maybe add a flowers garden?
that sounds fun i do need a lot more height around it
Oh and add Instruments for the villagers to play🤣
ooh yes
@foggy robin I built a plaza extension!
and behind it I made a little raised town square area
that's soooo cute!
Does anyone have any entrance ideas if my town hall is close to the airport?
@ember kestrel thanks!
@sullen grove how close is close how many blocks?
np!!!
This is my entrance @sullen grove
Can I see someone’s shop surrounding/areas? Need ideas on what to put
@somber sigil I don’t think I have that much space 😅
I see, you can make it like an airport
@somber sigil how the hell did u put ur signs on a angle :0
Its an angle sign diy
It has customisation for able sister's, plaza, forest, river, and nooks
@warm dew here are my shops! put a small plant area outside of them
I need neighborhood ideas might be easier if you can over but I want to redo it
i dont know how to work with elevation at all... that look sso nice...
i need neighborhood ideas T^T
Any ideas for this space? I’m so stumped 😭
I need neighborhood ideas
@pure crest a little forest sitting area could be nice overlooking the river
Make it a nature park @pure crest I think it would be pretty
Here some "finished" parts of my island for inspo, my wedding avenue + beachy neighborhood ! 🌴
This area is behind my cafe, any ideas? I was thinking maybe a marketplace or farmers market.
Y'all! I found this little pattern thing and like...look how subtly nice that looks
Gotta zoom in a bit, kinda faint in the picture
@hidden sequoia so cute!
Need help! I don’t know what do! I hate this line
@slender charm you can make it like those Asian night street markets
@somber sigil Thank you!
@somber sigil thats what i was thinking lol, imma need so many stalls
Good luck :)
Sadly I didn’t understand choosing the right island so I can’t have an entrance
this is my little star watching area, what else should i put here that fits the theme? i need ideas so like any design codes or furniture ideas are helpful
My star viewing section, clear cause someone told me that stars only came when the ground was clear
anyone have a makeshift volleyball court on their island? ac doesn’t have volleyball nets so i’m trying to find what i can substitute it with
You might be able to use wedding fences as a mini volleyball new @bold pecan
I just redid my entire island entrance
@abstract magnet star patterns on the ground would be cute and if you use the simple panels and put a pattern with fairy lights I'd think it would be adorable
Does anybody know what else I should add to this campsite ? It looks kinda bland to me
My star viewing section, clear cause someone told me that stars only came when the ground was clear
@heavy summit wat
oh that could work !!!!
@compact whale tbh I think grand entrances are overrated. Build a cute little walkway up to the plaza, make all the grand stuff branching out from the plaza into areas of interest
a restraint
can someone give me a 5 star island tour or maybe come to my island and hell me with ideas! you can tell me what’s good, what’s bad, what i should change and how i should change it! i don’t get offended:)
Does anyone know what the wand @heavy summit has is called?
@heavy summit are u selling the wand
@trim finch my island is still quite the work in progress, but i can let you look around! It is 5 stars
ty:) i’ll pm you!
hi guys, i just finished my plan for my island, what do you think? (the plain bits will have flowers and trees and furniture etc)
@trim finch I'd love to give you a tour later! Here's my map! 🙂
What is that ?
My town is going to be 99% waterfalls and mini islands by the time I’m done 😭
Sorry, here's the correct map @trim finch . Added a market and some other stuff. Lemme know if you want a tour later! (Or anyone)
hi guys, i just finished my plan for my island, what do you think? (the plain bits will have flowers and trees and furniture etc)
@woven drift i just realised i forgot the bridges :T
@woven drift ur layout is awesome
Who has cottagecore vibe/forest vibe that I can visit? And who can help me planning my island. I flatten my island. Willing to pay bells and nmts. Just help me . 🥺😭
Muscle beach gang
hi everyone!! for my island i only use 2 flowers to decorate, pink mums, and pink hycaniths. i wanted to add one more pink flower to this duo, which one would look best?
I've searched everywhere on my island and i'm missing 2 rocks (trying to make a rock garden). Anyone know any tricks to help spawn the other 2?
@woven drift I like the pink lillies !
hi everyone!! for my island i only use 2 flowers to decorate, pink mums, and pink hycaniths. i wanted to add one more pink flower to this duo, which one would look best?
@woven drift i would say white hyacinths or white roses
@woven drift should i pick weeds and replace it with mannequins? I have a few weeds and branches lying around
you dont have to replace them but just double check there are no open spaces for them to spawn, and if you have dirt paths, replace them with hard ones bc they can spawn on dirt paths too
do y’all have any ideas where to put my villagers houses? they’re all on the beach rn and i have no idea where to place them
I think Lily and cosmos are the best combo
@verbal bolt can i dm u with a pic of my layout?
ofc!
Does anyone think it would be a good idea for like a island on a mountain
@zealous pendant it’s a katana
@scenic blaze
THAT YOU CAN HOLD ?!?!
All houses finally in place in 3 level neighborhood
i fixed my plan, what do you think?
I've made an attempt to organize my island, but idk if I like the layout lmao. would this look okay?
@woven drift I really like it! The rivers are a bit odd tho
Do u guys know what I should do with this island layout? I messed around with it a little bit but I have no idea what to do
thanks! which parts look odd, and do you have any ideas to improve them?
@summer abyss you can make it forest like
Is ur island like a forest?
actually i think they are too straight and not natural flowing come to think of it
Nope, my part of the island is a farm, I play with my sisters
Oh ok, idk what a forest island would look like
The other parts of the island I made kinda looks like the shrek game for ps2 ;-;
@woven drift I would prefer it if the corners of the river was more rounded out to make it look more natural
Ohhhh do u think I should do the front like a city and then as u go farther in its more of a forest?
ah yeah that would make sense
Work in progress, but gas station infront of the tailors
@summer abyss that would be pretty cool
Alright I’ll try that
You should make your house like a cabin :) & you should put the camp site in the mountains
Alright cool I will do that, thanks. U also gave me an idea for my museum
Can someone dm an island layout with minimum terriforming?
Some of my island so far. Need ideas for the island 👍 any criticism welcome :)
made a greenhouse 🙂 ordering the simple panels and customizing them took forever tho 😖
I'm planning on making the homes all line up using this video guide I found . I'm gonna put some around the resident services building , but a bit further back , and the shops will be in a shopping centre on a second level . Any others suggestions as to what I should add to my island ?
I think my museum area resembles a shrek game from early 2000s
@jolly flicker looks amazing! I wish the small island was more of a circle shape though.
Could anybody give me tips on how to place my villagers' houses. I don't want to make it look too symmetrical but also not too messy
@woven drift dw so do I :( means I have to pull down half of my maintain area tho. Maybe I should shift it some where else ? 😦
@jolly flicker try extending out the sides to make it more circular
@woven drift ill Give it a go :) thankyou!
I just realized I sent the word ideas in the chat when I meant to put it in the search bar lmao
@jolly flicker if you need help, here’s mine
Does anyone have a good natural garden not zen? I need helb
I need nooks and able sisters inspo I’m completely lost : (
@woven drift wow mine looks so shitty compared to yours 😂
Hi! I need your help, I don't know what to put on the little square I make in front of my museum. you can DM me or respond here ! Ty : )
Does anyone have cute outdoor library areas?
@jolly flicker no that’s not true! Yours looks great!
I’m struggling with what to put behind my residential services
you can make a second tier behind it and then an incline to it on the side
@woven drift Haha thankyou but now I have island envy 😭 I want mine to look like your r.i.p
I used to have that but it created this awkward kinda space behind the cliffs
@graceful jasper this is the library I put near my villager house
Greeting does anyone have any suggestions on what I should put here, it is in the middle of the town neighborhood and I want it to sort of be like beach themed
@woven drift I put a fountain with some lights in front of mine
@woven drift thanks
@graceful jasper no problem
@limber nexus you could add palm trees and two benches on each side of the fountain
Hey! Any tips on how to get a 5 star island??
ty for the museum idea !
@zealous valve possibly but I was thinking if going a bit bigger
@stark jungle listen to isabelle
Anyone have some nice trading area pics/inspo? :)
Omg! Tyy :) that’s so cute
@soft shale this is my tiny market street
Oh woowwwwww, I just redecorated my island girl youre making me wanna do it again ahh that’s so pretty @bitter inlet
I think this belongs here, I kinda wanna show this off since it took a total of 2 weeks, and 400 roses later, this time posting in the right channel aaAA
Its a wedding for me and my boyfriend for our anniversary 👉👈
Sorry for spam :(
Does anyone have any suggestions for this layout, i manage to get a picture with everything i had to add, but i feel like im missing something and I don’t know what
Hi guys! So, me and my friend are doing a presentation on animal crossing for school. We wanted to visit some 5 star beautiful islands for an example. If you have a beautiful 5 star island that you would like to show off, please message me with some photos of your island! Also, there will be an interview at the end (Discord or Vc, whatever you're comfortable with.) Thank youuu <3
Josuke cosplay lol, it looks accurate tho
thanks
@icy geode wow that’s so cool
@woven drift it looks really nice!!
should I put a picnic area or a cafe in this area? also should I make this be 3rd level? obviously either way I need to make the terraforming better lol
@woven drift i love that
@pure nimbus Thanks! we are trying to get some islands to tour for some examples in our presentation lol :D
Thank you both so much 
Looking for a sauna area
@icy geode mmm there’s some really good ones in this chat. Only specific areas for mine would work :0
@pure nimbus Yep, I'm scrolling up to try to find some people! And, that's fine! I'm sure your island is beautiful you could for sure give us a tour :)
Maple is legit the cutest. Also.. bushes 'n stuff.
@vast cradle i think a cafe area would be a nice idea, but I honestly was thinking a chinese/japanese restaurant would look really good with that amount of space
Does anyone have a sauna area they can show me?
Is there a knife/sword item in this game placable on tables, if not what would be a good alternative?
outdoors cinema
@gusty sand I have a chinese restaurant literally right in front of the right side just down a level lol, but thanks for the suggestion
@vast cradle oh i see, then i guess you should go with the cafe idea and your welcome!
i don’t remember if it was this server, but thank you to all who showed me their entrances! i was able to complete sorta my rough draft, still need some items but we’re getting there!
That’s so CUTEE
Tried a distant city seperated by a lake. What yall think?
Hey guys ! I need help decorating my villagers yards . I have Stitches , Sherb , Goldie , Lucky , Julian , Tangy , Lolly , Nan , Chevre and Wendy . What do you think would suit each villager ?
@gritty smelt that looks really nice! Looking forward to the fully finished design, and i think it looks great for an entrance! You did a really good job honestly
@gritty smelt that looks really nice! Looking forward to the fully finished design, and i think it looks great for an entrance! You did a really good job honestly
@gusty sand thank you so much!! i will definitely be posting it on here once i an officially done with it!
Renovated my cafe today, planted some bamboo behind it. My last version was just too long and narrow, lagged with the bakery across from it, and didn’t incorporate nature at all
hey, can i get some advice for my island?
im kinda proud of it, but im still not too sure its good at all..
My town hall is really close to entrance and it’s off by one block does anyone have any entrance ideas for that layout??
Heres my semi close RS entrace with an offset block
I've picked up every weed, shell, and misc items on my island it still says its cluttered halp :<
Working on my entrance way what do you all think?
I've picked up every weed, shell, and misc items on my island it still says its cluttered halp :<
@fierce silo are you sure? No turnips or diys laying on the ground?
@dawn pawn subtle nmt flex i see lol. It looks nice though
@fierce silo are you sure? No turnips or diys laying on the ground?
@ashen olive yes no turnips, just sold extra diys to nook
weeds, shells dont count; any thing like dropped furniture(leaf form) star fragments, or recipes a re clutter @fierce silo
Ok so I am gonna do a cafe here, should I raise it to the 3rd level?
weeds, shells dont count; any thing like dropped furniture(leaf form) star fragments, or recipes a re clutter @fierce silo
@soft plaza I have 4 star frags down as decoration ;-; let me pick it up and check again
You can make the area behind the café a waterfall
Can anyone suggest as to where I should move homes?
Ok so I am gonna do a cafe here, should I raise it to the 3rd level?
@vast cradle I think you should make it two levels, one on the 2nd level and then something on the 3rd like some cute sitting area
Lionel is so cute change my mind
im kinda proud of it, but im still not too sure its good at all..
@bold reef Yes sure!
Summer is here ☀️ Music Festival in my island
@green cedar you can place them close by to make em look like a community or place them around your island for a more village type of layout
weeds, shells dont count; any thing like dropped furniture(leaf form) star fragments, or recipes a re clutter @fierce silo
@soft plaza no leaf forms of anything item does and star frags picked, does placed butterflies(because i am waiting on flick count as clutter?)
Try picking up all the bugs and see if that is the problem i guess?
Anyone got a cute Village with all houses? Need inspiration 😦
@odd spire thanks !! I'll try that !
i have mixed feelings about this plan, any suggestions? I'm looking for forest theme
tbh i never used the plans i made for my island—just let the terraforming shovel lead u 🙂
Zucker’s house ft. Stitches running around near it
can anyone show me like a market idea please
Ughhhh my house is off center idk if it looks awkward
anyone know what flowers i can put here? (i have 3 spots to put flowers left)
White lilyyy
white cosmos, oh wait u have those
@wary coyote what vibe are you trying to have
That’s so pretty!!
weeds are really pretty in this game and are decorative
my island is like a farmcore, cottagecore theme
that design on the panel is cute
Yeah some brightly colored cosmos
Can I see some ideas for some sort of town square in front of the museum?
large weeds look like wheat in the fall if you wanna have some wild wheat growin' around
@bitter inlet maybe yellow cosmos or white lillies imo
Maybe
anyone have shop area ideas 🥺🥺🥺🥺
im having so much trouble trying to think where to place buildings and stuff
how do yall do it
Could anyone help me with a layout for my villagers' houses:)
How long does it take you all to do these amazing builds ?! Terraforming is hard!
9/10 wouldve been better with a demonic outfit
Yey
666/10
Could some one show me some ideas for an out door cinema ? 🙏🥺 I think I wanna do it but I don’t know
MMMM THATS GOOD NUMBER GIMME A 69 OR 420 SOMEBODY
69/420
Ah yes just what I needed today
entrance is done, just gotta put trees behind my greenhouse! <3
Anyone have nooks and able sisters area that they can share?
Anyone know what the standard starter river width is? How many blocks wide?
I’ve got an area where I want to move my rocks—does anyone want to share their rock garden designs?
@wary coyote that’s SO pretty
thank you!
Hi can anyone give me and my friend a tour of their island dm me ❤️
Can someone come over to give me neighborhood idea?
My island is almost finished, I just need little ideas for the beach, rocks and small places (4x4 max for example), if you guys don't mind sharing yours ^^
Here’s what the sides look like. Gotta put that deer thing fossil where I’m standing
Love that waterfall
Can I get neighborhood inspo dm me
Could I get some ideas on orchard spacing designs u guys love?
Any outdoor cinemas anyone wanna share for some inspiration? I have an idea but at the same time I’m stuck 🥺
So I made this massive area as a sort of street area, with a cafe and stalls but I have a massive empty space at the front from the fountain all the way down to the beach. Can someone give me a couple ideas for what to fill the empty space with please
I have a lot of houses to relocate, I have to work on a couple of backyards.
Does anyone have a cool neigborhood to share, I need some ideas lol

@unique portal
A cafe would look perfect! And Street piano or organ
I'm thinking of doing a boardwalk entrance, any ideas on what I should put down for it
Does anyone have a cool neigborhood to share, I need some ideas lol
@lapis shale
My idea is placing the houses in a circle/square and making a park/plaza in the middle :)
@unique portal you can erase 1 block of wood pathing and put a tree there
it took me a whole day to figure out how to do those ''welcome to'' design but I finally did it !
@unique portal I avoid using big spaces like that by adding little cliffs around
@granite comet I love the design, great job
@steep solar sounds cool:) do you have any pics?
I want my houses all by each other still, ideas?
can someone give me a 5 star island tour or maybe come to my island and hell me with ideas! you can tell me what’s good, what’s bad, what i should change and how i should change it! i don’t get offended:) i’m looking for a pink girly cute white kinda of style with lots of flosrs
I don’t know if these goes here but Any of y’all have creative season ideas for bushes?
So jealous of everyone with a lot of space on the left and right sides of their maps 😭😭
@fervent crag @scenic blaze used hydrangeas to make a blueberry farm!! Super clever and creative https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1266743047699619842?s=21
My beach is so empty! Any ideas besides a cafe/bonfire/outdoor gym/outdoor cinema/sunbathe/showers area? I have all those but this is still way too empty :(
@bold rock I feel u! My starting layout was horrible and I only had space in the middle, I eventually gave up and terraformed the entire river into a different shape- 100% recommend.
@storm bluff omg thank you, that is super cute!
@storm bluff thanks for sharing ily 🥰
@soft shale any recommendations for how to do that on mine? The river openings are just so inconvenient and I want to make my neighborhood all on one side
I had the same river openings, do you want me to send u before and after map pics? :) @bold rock
my current star gazing area, y’all think i should change it at all or if i should make the crescent moon chairs purple?
@steep solar a few things I've got on my beaches!
@soft shale yesssss I would love that!!
@nova quest do you have the code for that picnic blanket and the like white wood pathway thing
@nova quest what is that boardwalk thing in the first picture and how do i get it?
Alright lemme find the old pic @bold rock :)
@steep solar a few things I've got on my beaches!
Would you mind sharing that code? :0 looks awesome
@steep solar bike rental shack
@abstract magnet @cunning heron i haven't got the picnic towel sorry! But the wooden area..
Great idea! I definitely need to build a bike rental
oh thank you! ive been wanting a little boardwalk area on my beach for a while but couldnt find the right path
@visual robin my ones very close lol
Can someone send me photos of a tiered villager neighborhood setup, I’m trying to figure out my fencing for them and if I should give them fenced “yards”
@iron vapor always yards!
does anybody have a good entrance with the town hall being close to the airport?
@visual robin
Unsure if this is good but I tried my best
how big would you recommend them to be?
@iron vapor three-tiered neighborhood wip
It's very difficult when the town hall is so close
it depends on how much space you want to take up. i personally don't like mine TOO big. between 1 and 2 i would say
@austere heath thank youu!! that helps me out a bit. looks very nice!!
My house area.
And specially when you want to make both an entrance and a town plaza :')
I had no choice but to make the entrance be on the sides rather than on the front
it's been 3 days since i reset and i want to do it again because i'm angry with my peninsula and beach rocks
it's been 3 days since i reset and i want to do it again because i'm angry with my peninsula and beach rocks
@cold cypress I'd just do it before you get to far in.
i feel that, i was kind of moping about it earlier and i realized it bothered me more than i thought
not pressed about native fruit unless its apples. any native flower is good as long as its not pansies
And any ideas for the rocks too?
I only have a tiki bar on one of them, the rest are empty
any ideas of what to put here? ( I already have a cafe)
A library
band setup? I’ve seen a few and they always look neat!
A courtyard maybe? or a basketball court?
Started my night market (Had to trap them for the photo 😭)
wish nintendo made it so that custom paths made the sound of whats underneath
@cold cypress Ikr? I have this road and the ground sounds normal walking in the middle but muted on the sides
thank u for the ideas!
What type of bushes are those?
Azaleas I think, I'm replacing them since they're out of season
Yea I think hydrangeas are next in season
Does anyone have a bar on their island? Like a beer/alcohol bar? I need help
What should I throw in this square? It's right next to the plaza so I want something villagers can interact with, I'm moving the tailors shop somewhere else
I have a small amount of area, got any ideas to put there?
Anyone down for an island tour of a 5* island tour and give a feedback session xD. The more critical the better
how long/wide are bridges?
u guys like my football pitch? 😂
check pins @tough tree
Hey! Im doing a forced perspective area. Does the wind turbine look too out of place?
In the process of making a heart shaped island within my island 🙂
I have a small area, what should I put there
What do you guys think of my town sorry its poorly taken
So I messed up my villagers homes. They're off and I'm relocating them all (FML). But I have a layout set. Should I put the fences already or do that after the house is up? I just dont want to mess it up again 😭
A few of my favourite places ❤
@empty current I recommend putting the fences first, it shouldn't take too long and it really helped me with knowing where the houses should go.
I need nooks cranny and able sisters area inspiration
@swift ivy thanks! I'll do that. Hopefully I don't ruin it again lol
Not sure how many people know this but the firefly model glows like an actual firefly! It would look so cool for outdoor spaces.
Kinda random but does anyone else think that sherb and kidd could EASILY be brothers?
Who’s kibb?
kidd is the purple goat n yes !
He’s a good boi, look him up!
Oh! Kibb, yea I totally agree 100% like todoroki and dabi
I so wanna draw fanart of sherb and Kidd
Go for it! I would honestly love to see what you draw
If i post it anywhere it’ll probably end up in the art chat
this is my campsite at the moment :) does anyone have any suggestions on things to add?
Mk
Also I put my museum JUST off and now I have to move it and re-put it down UGGHH
@near solstice Firefly model would look great there!
And I tried to exit without saving and it was STILL THERE
Big oof-
Add some Gemini and the pink star fragments on the ground, along with large ones. Or a mush lamp! It gives it a beautiful dreamy feel
@sage jasper i'll have to hope flick comes to my island soon
Can I see maps of your neighborhoods?
Any recommendations on what I should put in this small rectangle?
I already tried a flowerbed but it doesn’t really go
@corp#1055 this is my little rooftop bar
Shrubs, or maybe some flowers around a statue?
@near solstice love it !! i was wondering if u know the code of the wooden planks ? i've been looking for a similar code to that one for quite a while
I second that!
@zealous valve i love it can i get them codes?
@uneven echo of course! let me find them for you
@zealous valve id love to get the codes as well 😄
What items could I use to make like castle pillars? I’m not really liking the look of silos
There’s a small area back there, I’m not sure if you can tell. What should I put there
@uneven echo @lament cloud
My zen garden! Uwu
Do you guys fence the back of your villagers home or keep it open?
Hi could someone show me what they did with their rivers on their island? Mine are both located south. Need ideas 😊
all my villager homes are in a little city area
Small space back there, any ideas?
I’m makin my rivers now I’m also double south so inspo would be very helpful
CAN I SEE SOME MAPS
Anyone have their resident services kind of hidden in a wooded area?
Tangy finally sat in the little fruit café I made in front of her house! She’s so cute I can’t 🥺
@mild roost
@wise heron omg starting map twins
Yassss
@mild roost its a wip since im not rlly satisfied with certain things but~
lil homework/writing area by flora's house
Anyone wanna hang out?
teach me how to decorate as well </333
how do yall make areas feel so enclosed? mine always feel so open and empty
Which one is better?
Terraforming helps and making shapes with paths flowers and weeds 🙂
i do all three but everything still feels, idk, just sorta empty
maybe i'll use more trees i guess
could you send an example of a space you think feels empty?
@sage night yeah I feel you. Sometimes taking risks and putting things you wouldn’t necessarily want on your island might help a little
The best way to start decorating i think is to just jump in without worrying about how it’ll turn out
You’ll drive yourself crazy if you don’t take risks
Had to take a break from terraforming to catch that sunset. 🔥
can’t wait to finish my island off by replacing hazel and naomi possibly
finished my tiki bar
Got a cliff view of my campsite too!
Can someone please give me ideas on where I should place my houses? ): I’ve already thought about possibly putting all of Them in a row of 2 by 5 on the right side or 5 and 5 all the way across from each other. Please help!!🙏🏼 I need inspo & creativity I’ve been stuck on this for days
@nova sleet twinss
I’m bored and unsatisfied with my island!! I’ve been thinking about redoing my island to be themed around Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass, is that a fun idea?
Any tips on how to place path designs even?? I’m struggling on making a path even I’m new to this I’ll appreciate any advice 
Can anyone give me some inspo or pics of their island entrances ty
NEED THOUGHTS. SHUD I DO ON GROUND FLOOR?
so i have 3 more homes to place idk how id put them to be proportional
@chilly socket
Ty
Ur welcome 😇
What should I do for the area on the right
If anyone has inspo of maps with both rivers south that would be awesome (:
How have people turned having resident services right in front of the airport into a good thing?
Some pics of my marketplace!
Hey guys me and my fiance traded switches for 1 week, shes new to the game but I want to build her a nice entrance xD any inspo without terraforming
@craggy leaf here's a double south that I came up with, maybe it'll help inspire you?
@wind wind thank you this is really helpful (:
No problem (: 👍
I need graveyard ideas guys
My entrance
@wind wind do you think you can help me place my houses?
@surreal perch help needed with that
I guess I could try, I'm not the best with that @rustic laurel
Hey guys! I’m looking for some inspo of what to do with a little area behind my zen garden. It was originally a little pizza restaurant but once I redid my zen area it really didn’t work. I’d love your suggestions!! Open to terraforming changes as well
My main entrance, Momo Avenue and its rainbow crosswalk!
Has anyone done their houses hidden down in the cliffs? 😮 If that makes sense
@vivid oasis like this?
Nah like, like that but it's at the lowest level with the cliffs surronding it
oh, I have that for my house
my plaza is somewhat like that
I had it on the highest possible flat of cliff but I never liked it there haha
Same my house surrounded by cliff
Anyone have any cute campsite layouts?
ive made two little areas today!! super happy w how they turned out
@vivid oasis
Ooh that's super cute!! I guess on the map it didn't look like it was in the cliffs @bitter inlet
@full rapids mine is more natural but i hope it helps!
But that's very much sort of what I'm going for 😄 I been trying to play with the terraforming before I wanna commit to moving my house
I thought u meant villager houses so I showed their area
@fervent jay its beautiful!
Oh, haha! Maybe one day I'll move them away from their common ground
tysm!!
I was gonna do the generic lined up neighborhood but I thought it’d be nicer to have them spread out unevenly with some waterfalls n whatnot
anyone know how to make this look more like a crater ? i'm gonna fill in the gaps between the cliffs when i can get on ac again but there's not enough space on the right cliffs to continue the third tier i believe
anyone else getting stressed because you’re running out of custom design spaces 😔
@floral basin ohh could I have the code for your rainbow crosswalk? 🙂
@floral basin omg the crosswalk is so cute🥺
@bitter inlet I got all but 2 in a section together with flowers and whatnot, but I've considered that.. Im just out of ledges, so if anything I would just put them around cliffs too
My first, first revised, and newest island layout 😍😍
the yin yang is cool
Ty 🙂 took me a second to get it just right
Those paths 
if anyone has cool celestial area inspo lmk
@wet furnace Sure! But Able Sisters are closed by now 😭 Can I dm you the code tomorrow? I don't have a screenshot
@uneven hamlet Thank you!
Any inspo for how you guys set up the able sisters store?
yooo i dont know what to do with the entrance to my museum, any ideas?
need thoughts. shops on the ground or on the hills? with diner furnitures.
COME ONE COME ALL: Tonight at midnight EST I will be hosting my very own 5-star island nighttime magic tour! 6 lucky people will be chosen to come on this tour, and will be given a fantastic assortment of gifts along the way! At the end of the tour, I will be hosting a fishing competition and a dress up competition, where there will be exclusive prizes for the winners! To enter for a chance to be considered, message me with ‘Magical Midnight Tour!’ otherwise you WILL NOT be considered! The decision will be announced at 11:30 EST!
what should i put at the top? most of my island is pink and pastel yellow and some bright blues
@tepid island
Maples library ☺️
@river cypress have you considered moving the rug over 1 space, centering the chairs, and putting the book case on the left wall? It blocks her house a bit 😭
Here’s an evolution of my entrance ^_^
need thoughts. shops on the ground or on the hills? with diner furnitures.
@tepid island here’s the same pic on the day time
What do y'all have outside your nooks/shops
@limber ginkgo cafe
@woeful trout ay thanks!
hi, what other items should i add to a playground besides playground gym & elephant slide ? kinda stumped
@limber ginkgo sorry it’s dark but this is my shopping area
@woven drift
waaa ty @austere heath !!
Im literally making a dump
@woeful trout how long did it take you to terraform your island like that\
shit looks amazing
@autumn warren the initial layout didn’t take too long, I like everything symmetrical so if I was off on one side I’d have to start the other side over and such. Didn’t take too long though
my observatory/lookout area, should I get rid of some of the floor bricks? I recently changed the custom design and it auto-changed to these
ive been designing my island based off my original island and river layout
Thank you to my new bff who helped me organize my flowers!! My new favourite part of my island 🤩✨
i'm trying to redo my island entrance but it's only got 8 tiles between res services so i'm trying to get creative. i was trying to have 2 bridges near each other but i get an error that you can't place bridges close together or it will cause traffic problems or something. does anyone know how far apart the bridges ahve to be?
does anyone have a courtyard entryway or any entryway they are willing to share?
My entryway is heavily forrested with color coordinated nova lamps/crescent moon/flower cliffs, needed to block RS from sight
I made myself a little bus stop! It is pretty narrow, and might make for a good entryway.
Hi friends, which fence do y’all think looks best next to the museum? I can’t decide between the iron, zen, or imperial. I was also thinking iron and stone but it might not be as welcoming with the spikes on the ends. Thoughts?
I need to build a dump, a graveyard, band, cafe still
GV: honestly, i used different fossils to make a fence, the different square ones make for a cool knee high fence - and you can do it as grey or sand colored depending on fossils
I'm having doubts about my layout, specifically my villagers homes/yards/neighborhood. What do you guys and gals think about neighborhoods vs spreading them out? how big should yards be? I like customizing the yards to give each villager their own thing, but I also like the neighborhood idea so I don't have to run all over the island to see who's home. I don't want to redesign my whole island, but if I change off of the neighborhood layout, I kinda will have to...
What are your guys' ideas for decorating the beaches? I can't think of enough to decorate all of it
My new flag ✊🏾🏳️🌈 just made it
I tried to make this lol
@paper swallow Tiki Bar, Surf Shop, Beach Gym, Fishing Hangout, Beach Spa, Tourist Beach, Picnic Area, Campsite, etc
you can also make a children's digsite with a shovel, buried items, tiretoys, horseys etc
My entrance 😅 still working on my markets lol
Polished up the area leading up to my marketplace today! ✨ 🌙
My entrance uwu
Should I replace the silo with something else? I’m trying to get a castle vibe
@hollow bramble @trail ermine thanks for the ideas! I like the fishing spot and digsite concept
My finalized island layout. Hiking trail at top right, kids park where the arrow is, and below that is a split statue garden/public pool
Entrance to my cliff top house. I'm feeling burnt out in this game so just building one area slowly at a time
Anyone have a brewery on their island? I need ideas!
Thought it was Audies paparazzi taking pictures but it was just a thunder storm
@wise heron I'm not saying it's bad but try adding your own spin on the idea, have a little lake park on the top or something, but it looks good!
Thx I’ll add something on top lol @faint wave
Show me when your done 😁
I’m going I’m not done
people are really creative wow
Finally finished my island full of water layout ^^
@glacial shoal this is how mine looked before I took it down. Kind of similar
Here's a map of my island! If anyone would be interested in visiting or in a video tour I made earlier let me know! 🙂 (or has ideas, I'm particularly struggling with the mushroom area right now)
@cedar venture I like how yours looks! I have a bit of space constraints so I’m not sure if I could have mine look as big. (Especially after I realized rivers need to be 4 wide for bridges). I’ll most likely replace the silo with lion statues, or if I end up finding someone who has white silos, I might try to use them.
@burnt seal I wouldn't mind watching that vid, get some ideas for my future town
@faint wave Here you go! Made it earlier today for someone else!
Ok thx
My disappointment is immeasurable and my night is ruined
I wish I could just place a bridge like I place furniture in my home 😖
Me when I have to move papi’s house forward one square for 50k bc I’m dumb 😔
anyone have garden inspo??
@glacial shoal i think 2 on one side and 3 on the other would still look nice ;->>
@glacial shoal you could try making a fake bridge
@burnt seal how did you get the golden Rose's?
Oh that’s true, oh and thank your for the suggestion as well @worthy tendon
@faint wave From watering black roses with a gold watering can
Ok
Can anyone DM me or post their island's entrance? for inspiration😁
Uwu @tough tree
Let me see the outside of your museum!
@tough tree
I feel like it’s an unspoken rule that u have to renovate an area 3-4 times before being satisfied
Mood
yupp
I need nooks and able sisters inspo
I have a huge empty space and a crap ton of flowers and no idea what to do - already made a pizza restaurant and a outdoor coffee shop
@sharp sparrow flower garden?
I’m so dissatisfied with my island 😞 should I just start a new save
@sharp sparrow make an orchard
@sharp sparrow flower field or apiary?
Can anyone DM me or post their island's entrance? for inspiration😁
@tough tree a little reception area
I have a huge empty space and a crap ton of flowers and no idea what to do - already made a pizza restaurant and a outdoor coffee shop
@sharp sparrow I colour coordinated my flower 😊
I think it’s better to work with what u have @trail totem
I’m so dissatisfied with my island 😞 should I just start a new save
@trail totem do it
I have a rainbow flower field already too XD every possible flower except gold roses
Apiary might be cool, however you spell it
my 2 conflicting thoughts in a nutshell
restarting isn’t rly necessary when u have the ability to change everything except permanent locations like RS
i restarted cuz i hated my river mouths /shrug
ooh good idea @thorny copper
This is my 3rd time redoing my island
After looking at this for like 5 minutes I'm already regretting my new island layout..
Would anyone like to help me decide what incline would look nice here. I’m doing a lower and upper layer community of my villagers houses
@rain gate if you see something you like, let it inspire u rather than discourage u. a lot of my areas are inspired by others
This is my 3rd time redoing my island
@trail totem don’t worry about how many times you redo. I’ve redone my island sooo many times, and I’m still doing it. Eventually you’ll find what sticks.
@pallid hazel it really depends on what kinda vibe you're going for overall, like more traditional city, foresty, etc
the sooner u reset to something that makes you happy the less you have to build back up to what you have.
We’ve all had moments where we want to restart too don’t let it discourage you it’s a lot easier to rebuild than to restart!
natural island gang 
@pliant flicker I’ve always wanted to try a fantasy themed island
@bitter inlet ayy 👏🏽👏🏽
Any island theme ideas somebody could suggest? I'm having trouble deciding on one.
@pliant flicker you could do something multi themed. My island is separated into 4 different themes, because I couldn’t choose.
I have multi themed rn
Do you think zen bridges would work in a venice themed island? I hv so many brick bridges and i think i should swap it up
hey, does anyone have a list of stuff to make for a cafe? im pretty pathetic when it comes to anything except for clusterhecks of items that dont match lmao
@pliant flicker cabin theme?
@thorny copper I don’t even know my theme ugh. It’s just kinda random. It’s not a city city but it’s also not foresty
@woven drift depends on the style u want but this is my cafe
im trying to make mine cosmic themes
I haven’t trouble putting a river :((
@bitter inlet holy hell that's so good! thank you for the idea :)
where do you get the black drink/snack machines tho wow
@pallid hazel in that case you have more leniency ^^ i wounldnt get too pressed over it bc worst comes to worst, you just end up demolishing it and replacing it with another
everyone has different colors, those aren’t mine but I traded with someone
has anyone done mini islands? any map pics?
is it easiest to plan ur island if you get rid of all the clifs and start there
I just worked off my existing areas, if I had a clean slate I would have had trouble starting
@pine cradle not really mini but y’know
For me its easiest to build off of what was already there
is it easiest to plan ur island if you get rid of all the clifs and start there
@tepid island I would say draw out your island roughly and label ideas/areas as you go along, then start terraforming. That way you dont waste an hour terraforming something you dont want. Oh and also you dont need to be an artist to draw rectangles/circles of areas and label. That's really all you need.
i thought getting rid of all cliffs and rivers would help but it reallyu didint i would suggest working with what you already have and change as you go
Kinda a mess lmao
@woven drift thanks. do you have lawns for your villagers? if you do can i see a picture of one?
Here’s what I ended up with
I vaguely assigned where I wanted specific areas (marketplace, museum, village) early on in the game, then just worked on them one at a time and connected them afterwards
Im having trouble deciding where to put cliffs and place buildings, any tips how I should go about that? here is my layout so far, ignore the crossed out part thats from my old layout im trying to redo (also ignore the house in the beach gonna move that)
I really wanted to put my house on a platform and have waterfalls surrounding it but it won’t let me, does anyone know how I can do that?
Here’s what I ended up with
@glacial shoal is that a fake bridge
I let someone do a quick tour of my island on twitch and everyone hyped me up so much. But I have to say, my island has only gotten as good as it has because of this channel 💖
@glacial shoal is that a fake bridge
@woven drift yes I couldn’t get the bridge centered. Someone suggested I make a fake one, so I went with it.

Oh and also you dont need to be an artist to draw rectangles/circles of areas and label. That's really all you need.
Also going off of this, use graph paper if you have any! helps in drawing out squares/areas ☺ but any paper works. Doesn't have to be pretty/perfect. Should be rough and used for visualizing.
I placed everything on the beach and drew an island map plan, and put everything back after
@pine cradle
the map designer website is much easier tho lol
the map designer website is much easier tho lol
@bitter inlet true! it isn't as quick though. whatever works best! ☺ (at least for me, but i do art for a living soooo)
It really depends, I find it kind of harder to use bc it lags a lot for me for whatever reason
Hi guys! I’m looking for inspiration for Tia’s hard! Does anyone have any?
guys i’m looking for inspo for marshall’s yard! pls help! 🥺🤍
Hi guys! I’m looking for inspiration for Tia’s hard! Does anyone have any?
@woven drift I found this on pinterest:
I just recently moved all of my buildings to fit my plan, but now I don't like it
I think I want more integrated cliffs/layers instead of the majority of my island being ground level. Any thoughts or anyone want to draw over my map? Ideally I don't want to move the neighborhood area because thatd take forever
wow that Tia yard is amazing
@woven drift hope you get inspo from this
@woven drift reddit?
thanks tofu
Guys I need help for a orchard
@woven drift Not an orchard but I also found this on pinterest and its cute:
I need nooks and able sisters area inspo
I will always advertise pinterest....it's so helpful lmao
Weird question but what have you guys made with the wedding stuff that wasn’t a wedding? Lol
That's a good question but so far I've seen people use pieces to accent their entrances/island etc.
The arch and flower stands namely. I haven't seen anyone use all of the pieces together as a whole yet.
Could I see someone’s use of Simple Panels or other items as walls outside? I need some inspiration. Any theme works. I just wanna see how you guys do yours.
Yeah I’ve only found normal uses for the flower stands and candles because everything is so wedding-y haha. But it’s also so cute so I’m trying to figure something out to use them!

@vapid herald not mine (again pinterest) but this bakery is v cute
there's also this vaporwave area (pinterest not mine)
So is the frozen pillar really the only pillar-like furniture? I need something that's more grey in color 😦
@wheat iron I plan on using the tables and chairs to make kinda a fae ball/banquet thing but haven't found the space for it yet lol
Honestly I miss the ancient greek/roman pillars from new leaf they were perfect.
Same oof
I think some people are using a backwards locker as pillars. Not the same though lol
@turbid parrot unfortunately yes :/
@thorny copper ooh that sounds cute!
There really is so much less furniture in NH 😦
It certainly isn't the same LOL
Was thinking abt using the pizza tower as stand in pillars lol, theyre just probably a bit too busy
I feel like they're going to introduce furniture much later on like how the Welcome Amiibo update was in New Leaf for items introduced in Happy Home Designer. But that's just me being optimistic.
My entire island is Greek themed. The ice pillars look nice but the color is just :/
Yeah I have a Greek-themed area and am just sad looking at the selection on nook exchange
Make use of the Statues, and I have some custom floors if you’d like them. They go very nice with White items
*sighs deeply* where are you....
I can't even look at that photo right now lmao
YES WHY CANT WE HAVE THAT?! AHHHHHHH NOOOOOOO 😭
@vapid herald i'd be intersted in the floors!
I think aside from all the sets I miss all of the house plants in happy home designer ://
I miss the aurora screen. that was a Great Item and the Afternoon Tea Set
I'm sure down the line they'll add more items since they're planning to support for many years as they say
Hopefully
To me the game is still fairly new so I'm excited for what they got in store
Fair, my only concern is that nothing is garunteed since it's all in updates so there's no telling what's come back vs what's be scrapped furniture wise
I’m having a hard time fitting in infrastructure because of my waves paths so I think I’m gonna expand my city area to include more areas
I presume they’ll have huge furniture Events. Aside from the obvious holiday ones.
I'm in high hopes to be able to add more villagers in the future by letting some villagers upgrade there houses that way a new villager can "rent" the room thus allowing for more residents. Or something in that nature lol
Does anybody have an I was where I could put these houses? I had a layout planned out but I'm kinda regretting it
what should i do for a medium-ish area that’s behind a waterfall? there’s an empty space next to my resident services but i’m not sure what to do since it looks awkward
Great fairy fountain
@woven drift the way I think of it, is if you want a community/town looking island hace them close to each other or if you want more of a village type island spread the houses put a bit farther from one another
oo i’ll try to see if i can do that!
Hi island people. I need you to design my island for me! I can pay 10nmt and 99k bells. Ik that’s not a lot but I really need it! You can come to my island and take a screenshot of it to make it clearer, I’m going for a fairy-natural theme.
do you guys think i should move the utility pole somewhere else
https://twitter.com/narutoefeet/status/1268022929138126848?s=20
Rather than hire people, id recommend looking around for inspo maybe, would be a lot cheaper lol. Pinterest and channels that do island tours help a lot
Didn’t know what to do in the small little spaces I had so I made a crafting station and plants shop
This a good distance between inclines (ik they are pretty close, but it fits the theme I’m going for)
do you guys think i should move the utility pole somewhere else
https://twitter.com/narutoefeet/status/1268022929138126848?s=20
@true obsidian I think it's because the resident service lamp pole is so close, that's what's causing you to feel like its iffy, since it's tall next to tall. Maybe move it towards the middle of that grassy area or take it out completely? It also depends what you're going to put in that patch near it too! 🙂 Decor next to it may fix that.
@glacial shoal you can only have 8 inclines so consider where you want the rest before you place both of them. It's hard to say whether they're too close when we have no idea what you're putting there
Anyone got a bar? Im putting this on my beach but idk where to put it.
@pastel wasp ill try moving it to the other side then adding some more decor to it then! thank youuu

I really wish that we could put trees closer together or closer to cliffs :// I dont even care that it'd clip together I just like trees lol

@thorny copper right!!? i cant put my garden on rhe cliff bc of the dumb trees
Rip anyone with a forest theme ✊🏽😔
Yo guys i cant figure out how to make it work im so confused

@lunar crest found a couple of ideas on pinterest for ya!

@gentle saffron I get you, I just was worried it might look slightly unnatural. Those two inclines are meant to go from the spooky area to the medieval area if that helps. I and yes, I have my other inclines planned out.
@pastel wasp wow that's really nice! Thank you!
@compact yarrow check pins, it's like the 4th or 5th one down
@lunar crest here's another! 🙂 you're very welcome!!! always check pinterest! I literally typed in ACNH bar and all this fun cool stuff came up lol
@compact yarrow
Its mad at the block on the top right, extend the entire rectangle and smooth the edges and you should ve good. You also shouldn't need a river necessarily that wide to make diagonals work but if thats what you're going for then its fine

@gentle saffron ok ty

@pastel wasp I recommend you add something from the ice bar set
@viral maple your villagers are kinda fire lol 🔥
@jolly depot I'm not the person who needed bar ideas but that's a good point!
Stone or dirt circles?
@reef jetty haha, thank you!
O sorry @pastel wasp
@thorny copper ok lol ty for heads up i literally tought ir had to be that wide
@woven drift stone
@hazy raven stone

@compact yarrow might just be that there's no bridge in the way, but this is what mine looks like
@reef jetty @jolly depot ok thanks!
@viral maple but that's actually what the game is about, why don't U do it yourself?
@woven drift although I feel the same, some people just enjoy the life sim aspects of the game or decorating their house more than teraforming
Super proud of this area that I completed today! https://twitter.com/TinyTira_Verena/status/1268028239500345345?s=09
a portion of my forest complete!
#AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/BO8jwWbD2F
@thorny copper I see 👍
@woven drift because I want to-
@viral maple first off, 99k or 10 NMT is waaaay to cheap for the work that you're asking someone to do. Secondly, it's against the rules to ask or pay someone to work on your island in this channel.
@hazy raven @wispy cairn I get the idea
thanks for understanding!
@viral maple try copying ideas from pinterest and go from there! that's how many of my friends started. it's super easy and fun.
@pastel wasp ok, thanks
On my map that area of my island looks completely empty because I only use custom designs as my paths 😭 😭 😭

I can’t get my alleyway to look right

I’m having a very difficult time setting up my island! Could some people with a residential services building near the center of their island send me some pictures of their layout?
it is okay to feel like I can do more to my island after looking thru this chat?
I’m trying to do a pink, white, and a little yellow themed island. What fencing looks good around houses ?
@pallid hazel i like the Lattice fencing the best for those colors!
it is okay to feel like I can do more to my island after looking thru this chat?
@void notch oh definitely, i look at ideas all the time and terraform, no shame in mixing stuff up on your island if you want to! but only do so if you want do! As your own island should make you happy not anyone else☺
