Oooo! Yeah right! Completly forgot about them haha! Tysm! C:
LF some inspiration for my entrance. My plaza is close but not to close.
i can’t decide which fencing to go with. anyone have a preference?
@fringe forge the top fencing not the country fencing
flowers too]
need inspo for resident service area pls
what do you guys think looks better? brick or stone?
stone, but why do you hate #island-designs lol
@undone anchor Personally i like stone better than brick, especially since you have zen fences there
i thought the warm brick would go with the pink
can i come to someone’s island for some inspiration pls?
@undone anchor I think its better to use stone and have the pink flowers as pops of colour, they stand out more when you use stone pathing
I finished my shop area, notice anyone? 😏😏
@tawdry patrol mine is fairly close. I created an elevated path to extend the entrance.
@stoic orchid Thanks a ton. This helped a lot
No problem!
I asked a little while ago but no one answered ^^" i just redid my entrance and i'm wondering if it actually looks any better than before
looking for farm ideas please!!
I want to have different custom designs for the different borders for my path, but it takes up almost 50% of my CD slots so.. i had to get rid of em since i want to fill them with something else..
@restive tangle which one is the before and which one is after
@undone anchor Oh sorry i should have clarified ahhh >~< the bottom picture is before
Yea the new one looks good, i love diagonal bridges
I need inspo for resident services area please
LF ISLAND INSPO PLS
@civic ferry you're not gonna get any inspo like that, just scroll up or use search, or post a pic of what you have
I like the after better also. The paths are interesting and the layout is more unique @restive tangle
I’m working on a lil natural woodland area and am stuck for ideas 🥺
@stoic orchid Hahaha yes i saw some other people's entrances on here for those with RS close to the entrance, I was concerned bc I had a friend come over and she said it felt cramped
@restive tangle sorry for the late response but i prefer the after design! It looks cool!
Any island that didnt terraform ? Need natural vibes
i’ve got extra space behind my shop - any suggestions on what i should put there?
Oh heck, i just realized. If you make a custom design that's 100% transparent, you can place them down and (i think) no weeds will grow there.
Ik that this is probably a common fact lmao
@thick zinc You could make a little garbage area behind nooks? I can't quite see how much space you have there hahaha
Yeah like a loading bay?
@restive tangle here’s a bit of a better photo, i quite like the idea of a garbage area!
@thick zinc Yeah hahaha, i've seen some amazing garbage areas actually :O That seems like quite a bit of space though.. Maybe a little DIY area with tool shelves etc? And a few garbage related items closer to the building
I have a list of stuff to put in empty areas! If you want I could send it to you via DM/Post it Here c: @thick zinc
@woven verge yes please 😊
Hm.. i'm thinking of an entrance to nook's cranny. I've seen people make a diner area or something in front of it. But im not sure what to put..
@thick zinc Someone sent this to me before and I think it looks great, but I don't have space for custom designs hahaaha
@distant moat Could you send a picture of the area in front of your nooks?
@restive tangle oh yeah! that’s quite cool, the diy area would look so good as well! i can’t decide now ahahah
I need something to put in Dobie’s yarddd
@woeful trout is ur game hacked
@thick zinc a cafe, greenhouse, diy, bookstore, arcade. can put any sort of things on there
@distant moat Could you send a picture of the area in front of your nooks?
@restive tangle i actually havent decided a final area for nook's yet.. atm im still making the river in the middle area..
But i do plan on putting it somewhere east of the RS.
@woeful trout lol yes, i have it. Big B 👌
@neon glen no my games normal just like everyone else’s. Why?
@distant moat Oh then there are so many things you could put in front of nooks hahaha, anything from mini diners to a bicycle parking area to the side of it, As for myself mine is quite close to the beach, so i put a path straight down and made a surf shop under nooks
So my island is almost a forest theme, so trees everywhere, and I love it! But I’ve just been told that I’m not a 4* island instead of a 5* 😭 how can I get a forest theme with removing some trees :/
how did u get those star fragment trees
@restive tangle thats quite smart actually.. i might just put mine near the beach just for that lol
@distant moat Let me take a picture of it to show you ^^
Alright! ^^
@distant moat
@distant moat
@restive tangle that looks so cool!
@neon glen regardless, can we not have that conversation here please 
@rapid vessel you can put some decorations between the trees like lamps or leaf piles, if you cut down a few trees you can add foresty looking furniture like log tables and stuff. Also can add some more flowers around if you dont have very many, to bring up your score!
just finished my entrance area - not the best photo
@thick zinc Looks cute! I'm so jealous your rs lines up so nicely with your entrance hahaha
Hello! Looking for museum area inspirations! Please drop yours or any you like below if you’re happy to! X
Any nice flower field garden/layout which I can utilise all flower colors and types? Apart from the famous flower field
Accidentally made a cat shrine when experimenting with waterfalls lol
My entrance! Just finished it.
sootballsss
Hey, what are some ways to place more flowers around without making your island look cluttered? I already have a garden, but it’s not enough to boost my evals.
Coo
@restive tangle thanks, i’m so glad it lines up perfectly!
need resident service inspo pls 
@thick pond can you show more pics of your island? Your entrance is really pretty
Hey, what are some ways to place more flowers around without making your island look cluttered? I already have a garden, but it’s not enough to boost my evals.
@fallow trout put smaller groupings around a pathway or in front of buildings on top of a dirt path. I use smaller lines of flowers in front of my shops.
@stoic orchid Awesome, thank you. I’ll try doing the pathway thing since my shops are on top of some brick. Thanks for the help!
should i turn audie’s place into like a beach hangout/smoothie bar with a stage she can sing on? lol ignore the flowers
Does anyone have any ideas for a zen living room?
How do people get their bridges to go diagonal? I keep trying to get mine to do that but it literally will only go straight 😭
@woven drift You have to have a long enough stretch of diagonal river hahaha
@restive tangle omg hahaha thank you. What an idiot I am🙄🤣
@north crest you should use a modern shoji screen wall for the wallpaper.
i will add more flowers, finish my tiki bar, supermarket and incline place lol, but anyone have any tips so far?
@woven drift it’s a lot of trial and error even then
@woven drift Thanks!!
anyone interested in coming to my island and helping me plan out my entrance and i can help u in some way i j need a lot of help and i think it would be fun
@versed wadi Yeah it’s literally took me ages to try and do it so I gave up in the end x
What do y'all think of this lil market idea? Wip
@woven drift that’s so cute!!!!
Work in progress still
@sharp kite ty!!
@woven drift Oh what? There's a few criteria for diagonal bridges, like there has to be enough river on both sides, and it has to be wide enough such that you have to use your pole vault to get over
@woven drift I like it. It's really nice
I just started 4 days ago What’s some good ideas for a cafe! Without terraforming 😦
Wait how wide can a river be to have a bridge?
@woven drift Oh what? There's a few criteria for diagonal bridges, like there has to be enough river on both sides, and it has to be wide enough such that you have to use your pole vault to get over
@the.fake.jongkoko#1599 Thank you I will give it another go x
Wrong chat bud
Tbf I wish I could get someone to design my island for me sometimes because I end up finishing something and then hating it 5 minutes later 😭😭😂 anyone else?
@woven drift definitely have that feeling too but i find so much satisfaction in designing something i do like and being all "woaahh I Did That" haha.
@woven drift Hahaha yeah i feel you ^^" It's honestly all just trial and error though. I keep doing and redoing things
@storm bluff yes I do live that feeling!
did anyone decorate their campsite? i'd love to take a look !
@woven drift plus it never gets boring when you still have things to do 🙂 i thought i was almost done with my island and i just tore down 1/3 of it hahah
@restive tangle definitely! Sometimes I wish I had a different Island set out too but you gotta work with what you got🥳
To be clear I did not come up with this idea but I thought to make something like it and show everyone! What are your thoughts?? (It’s still a work in progress)
@woven drift i'm exactly the same 😅😅😅
Keep in mind that a lot of the beautiful pictures you see are also on islands that have crappy unfinished areas still 
@storm bluff facts right there👌🏼
@woven drift please only post that in #690093605821480980 thank you and happy visiting
@storm bluff Hahaha definitely relate to tearing down areas that were previously finished ^^" Eventually you also get bored of certain things or just think some parts are redundant
@woven drift literally come on here for Inspiration then realise how shit mine looks compared 😭
@north crest ohh i really like that, might take some inspo
@minor gate Im working on my campsite you can see how it looks so far. There are trees with lights stakes in between each one used as a fence
Log
Also another stupid question, so if you and another player best friend each other does that mean they can help your design stuff?
@woven drift nope, they can at most remove trees and flowers! I THINK
@molten swallow how can we ignore the flowers 😂 I love it
@scenic blaze It’s called hiding the dirty laundry outside of shot. 😆
@north crest oh thanks so much !!
@molten swallow and I say no smoothie bar!🍉
@minor gate no problem!
@strange swift okay! thanks!
@molten swallow oh right thank you, wish they could make my life a lot easier 🤣
Keep in mind that a lot of the beautiful pictures you see are also on islands that have crappy unfinished areas still
@scenic blaze
Don't expose me😭😭😭
lol
Just wondering about everyone's opinions on this section of my island , if there's anything that looks particularly off, or anything i can improve on
THAT SHIT IS SO CUTE
@versed wadi this is my entire photography style
The picture of my island I want you to see vs what my island actually looks like
@scenic blaze BIG MOOD
so i'm redoing my museum area to match it more with my other shops (in a dense forest-area type thing) and i'm just now realizing that they even made the bridges 4 blocks wide so i can't even do a water bridge to the entrance. nintendo why
I just avoided the “grand museum entrance” altogether to get around that
yeah i was thinking of trying to add a bridge in there but at this point i think i'm just going to keep it simpler 
The only things i put around my museum is a sitting area, statue and grand piano ^^" I don't have bridges or inclines to spare on it anymore hahaha
I have an incline up but it’s way off to the side
@hallow quartz #690093605821480980
@pure crest
I feel that, in the end I just kept mine simple
oooh that's so nice! i'm thinking of putting an incline and then a curving path to it, with a pond in front
Wow! Your museum looks so nice. Mine just looks bad.
omg both are gorgeous
and just the inspo i needed haha THANKS 💕
A pond in front sounds cute! I suffer from tiny waterfall syndrome so all my ponds end up acting like rivers 🤡 I’m forcing myself to add more as part of my final island renos
Someone stop me from restarting pls
@spring haven Don't do it
It is not worthed @spring haven
@frosty ivy 😩😫😫😫
@spring haven how come you want to restart?
Does this beach area look ok with everything behind it?
I wish you could pay Nook like 100k and he will reset your island to default map
@atomic hatch I have the shortest space between airport and service center and it doesn’t line up
@restive tangle yes! Love the urban cluttered look
@scenic blaze I'm wondering if its a waste to have the valiant statue up there though hahaha, you can only see part of it if you look up, or walk up from the other side
My beach area
Need some help with ideas! One of my areas will be a fine-dining small restaurant that has a hint of nature, i am going to put shrubs around but not sure if it will look good. Or any other idea?
I’ve done like a sort of “hidden” museum to go with my theme
Don't know what to do with this part😓 Someone help?😂
@random vector maybe a fence, more plants
@spring haven i was thinking about fence but nothing really matches, which fence do you refer to? 🧐
@spring haven no don’t restart bc of that haha! There’s loads of ways you can work around it
@random vector the lattice fence would look nice, and maybe add some woodsy decoration that matches the fencing
@atomic hatch 😫 I’ve terraformed the entrance about 15x and counting
@spring haven How does it look like now?
@frosty ivy my entrance is too short to put a bridge like that 😂😂😂😂
@spring haven Do you mind taking a picture of the space?
Any thoughts on Gladys’s little hidden Bamboo alcove? Not sure if I need to overhaul it or now
what could i do in the middle here?
@woven drift Add a fountain? A music performance area or some seating would also be good
@spring haven sounds interesting! I will try! Thanks for your help 😊
@restive tangle this is what it looks like now
@spring haven how many squares/tiles between airport and resident services?
Like 6 😅@random vector
@woven drift I have a pretty similar area, it looks like this
Any ways I could improve my 2 story diner behind the nooks?
@spring haven I actually think that looks wonderful atm :O Is it bothering you that the entrance doesn't line up?
@spring haven i actually love your entrance area! But if you wanna change it maybe try smth like a walkway surrounded by cliffs and tiny waterfall areas?
@spring haven if I count correctly I’m seeing 8 tiles, this person also has an 8 tile difference and she has my favorite small entrance inspo https://twitter.com/mori__tsumu/status/1253584047248306176?s=21
@restive tangle absolutely, I’m a bit ocd, like this is what my layout looks like so you can have an idea 😂
@scenic blaze omg that’s gorgeous
@spring haven if you're bothered by that, i would definitely do something like what @scenic blaze suggested above. I went with the bridge idea someone else sent earlier personally because it let me line up to the centre of my RS as well, but i think with enough terraforming you can line it up hahaha ^^ I've seen a lot of people with closer RS than yours, it looks gorgeous so I don't think you have reason to restart just for that hahaha
Mine is not too close to airport but i still can’t make central entrance😝 i did this instead
@dusty fjord I wouldn’t know where to start with that ughhh
Isn’t it? She really inspired me to work with my short space entrance. I love cliff entrances now, you can really force a path to resident services and it hides it well too (I don’t love the look of the plaza)
@scenic blaze I’m going to take inspiration from that and see what I can work with, hopefully I’ll like it better
does anyone have photos of crafting areas - need some inspo
You got this, good luck 🍀
@spring haven this is my entrance, i know it bigger than yours but maybe without the river and bridge and just some cliffs and some nature around it
@scenic blaze Ah hahaha I actually had the same experience, my RS is to the right of my entrance so i used to just have a straight path down which was a lot neater, but I decided to put some cliffs just to make it seem slightly longer to the plaza :o
@restive tangle same! I have 6 tiles between airport and res services BUT they don’t line up at all, res services is to the right. So I forced a pathway with cliffs and it looks much better to me than my old entrance, which was just a short path with a sharp turn to the right lol
Putting some stuff in this area, but the center feels a bit barren. I can’t really think of anything to put there however
add a little sitting area maybe?
@spring haven thank you!
You can see what I mean about my entrance in this video https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1261611245129527303?s=21
@scenic blaze Mine is also 6 tiles off! This is what i ended up doing , seems farther away with diagonal paths hahaha
I was thinking of that, but for some reason it feels kinda awkward or clumsy @woven drift
Hi guys. I want to create a little stargazing/reading area on my island. Do you guys have any picture inspo you could send my way? Thanks😊
@glacial shoal How about a fountain? Or a cotton candy machine?
my 6 tile entrance thats in a bit of a more uh, disadvantageous position but i love how it goes straight to the town hall and looks symmetrical
my entrace/townhall doesn't match up with my airport and it makes me :( but i'll have to find a way to make it look nice
I’ll try out that Cotton candy machine idea, but I do have a fountain outside the area. (It’s medieval themed if that helps a bit @restive tangle
@glacial shoal It doesn't really look like there's much around the fountain, why not just move it inside to the other place and put something else where the fountain currently is?
Wish i had space for like a statue or something at my entrance, maybe ill add some blue nova lights or moon chairs at the top of the waterfall. Would it look nice?
That could work, I’ll check it out @restive tangle
My town hall is really close to my airport and it's off centred but I still make the best of it.
So far i've only really decorated the right side of my island, havent touched the residential area at all and likely to redo the campsite area. Does it look strange that the right side is filled with paths...? Most people seem to have pretty natural and symmetrical looking maps
@restive tangle I actually really love how it looks
I mean how the minimap looks is more of a personal preference, whats more important is the island layout itself. And yea i think it looks really nice
I think it looks fine @restive tangle if it makes you feel a bit better part of my map looks like this
@glacial shoal Ahahaha the path filled block on your map is a whole mood
@restive tangle no I like that! Mine looks like there’s nothing on it but it’s literally covered in stuff and custom pathing .. it’s just how you like it ahah
@atomic hatch Oh the custom pathing part makes sense :O Actually i'm a little bothered by the custom paths that don't show up on my map hahaha, i'm so conflicted
@night jolt thats so eye pleasing i love it
Thanks a lot 😊
Np! :D
@restive tangle You can't judge an island by it's map. I've seen some simple maps that are fantastic in game. And vice-versa
@restive tangle yeah I’ve used the same custom pathing all the way through my map.. like my residential area is literally surrounded by stuff but it doesn’t show. It’s annoying.. I wish it showed trees
Can someone come to my island and give me some tips
My map
@night jolt Yayy another path filled map hahahaha
So uh, i've done a bit of terraforming and this is what my island looks like atm..
kind of happy with it now, why do you guys think? any tips to make it look nicer?
does anyone know the island dimensions? is it really 64x64 in all, and 16x16 in each quadrant?
kind of happy with it now, why do you guys think? any tips to make it look nicer?
@woven drift I would add some bushes or flowers behind the bikes.
Looks a lot better thank you @restive tangle
What I hate about paths, is even though that block on my map is 3 levels high, it looks completely flat
@night jolt i’ll probably add hedges
That's good as well
Can you guys show me your neighbourhood? Looking for some inspo
@glacial shoal Hahaha i'm glad you're happy with that area now ^^ But yeah, the map thing also bothers me a little, though there is a slight colour distinction with the paths higher up being a lighter brown
@restive tangle I remember redoing my entire island because of this
I think i may have made the area for nook's too big..
@restive tangle omg I see it. It’s so faint it barely looks any different (at least I have inclines leading up to those elevated areas)
@spring haven oof... that's a lot of effort though :') I haven't even finished my island a single time yet hahahaha
This is my neighborhood
@restive tangle everytime I think about it I get mad again 😂
I’m looking for someone to come and look at my campsite site because now I find myself not liking it, please tell me what I can improve and dm me if you want to come check it out
@spring haven Even just picking up a piece of furniture in an area i consider finished makes me cry inside ahahaha, so much perseverance on your end to keep going like that
@restive tangle it took me 6 days of absolute torture. I was contemplating my entire existence
anyone have any outdoor/beach gym inspo?
anyone have any outdoor/beach gym inspo?
@thorny kettle I don’t have any, but I know one of the islands ZackScott visited had something similar to what your looking for. I think the video was titled like “perfectly symmetrical island”
@thorny kettle I don’t have any, but I know one of the islands ZackScott visited had something similar to what your looking for. I think the video was titled like “perfectly symmetrical island”
@glacial shoal ooh feel free to dm me and share it pls!
Ok will do
what bridges do you guys think i should use, if i am doing a cottagecore/forest theme island
I still dunno what to do for my nooks entrance. I found a spot for it, but idk if i should make a regular entrance, or if i should make a diner in front of it or something.. im so bad at decision making..
what bridges do you guys think i should use, if i am doing a cottagecore/forest theme island
@zenith ravine any of the brown bridges basically? i like the suspension bridge in particular or a stone bridge
Here’s my campsite any improvement ideas, I really don’t like it anymore
@thorny kettle ok thanks
@zenith ravine its good!
Snap! That's going into my inspiration folder!
I'm struggling with my museum location. I know where everything else is going to go except the museum.
@woven drift try adding a level or lots of trees a so the campsite feels hidden. I think it looks great! But it doesn’t feel hidden or nature-y to me!
I wasn’t really looking for it to be hidden but now I just find it boring like I need new items etc
Does anyone have good terraforming tips? I need to add depth to my island
New area in progress, Tropical theme 🙂
is there a quick way to bulldoze entire areas? I have lots of trees and flowers I need to clear out
``855555555555555555555555555/+
I’m gonna start making my island look nice,is the resident services in a good spot for it?
do you guys think that isabelle will still give me a 5 star rating if i use the log bridges
Does anyone have a white themed town I could get inspa from
@zenith ravine doesnt matter which ones
Nope
I've been thinking of putting nook's on a higher level of terrain. I dunno if it'll look good.
I think that my island lacks some.. depth.. if that makes sense
@steep oracle I think you have a
The perfect resident service spot
ty
@distant moat thats the whole reason why I started from scratch haha
@distant moat be careful with nooks... it’s so huge and tall that it’ll block some view behind it if you don’t work with wrapping cliffs. I had it on 3rd level and couldn’t deal so I brought it down to 2nd and it works much better
I have this problem. I wanted to start everything from scratch with the layout of my island but i saw so many pretty islands with the natural layout and now i feel upset. I have made some sort of square on top of my island, it was supposed to be my village, but now i dont mind symmetry so much and ARGGHH. Please someone visit my island and tell what would you do if you were me. Dm if you wanna come so i know when i need to log in to my switch :)
@scenic blaze noted :)
Entered my house and saw cockroaches
Its funny how im so scared of cockroaches irl but in aninal crossing i see one and i go "haha cockroach go splat"
How have you guys decorated the outside of your houses? Mine is atrocious and I don't want to talk about it
I havent touched the outside of my house at all
Me either
Im probably gonna make a tiny garden area..
Hey anyone know the name of item that looks like birdbath?
It’s called birdbath
Is it diy?
I have these spaces around my island where it's just trees and flowers. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could change?
Yes it’s a diy
Okay ty
anyone wanna visit my island? Im 95% done and thought maybe some of yall could use my island for ideas if yall are stuck! anyone is welcome to come look around and get ideas/inspiration
I made a little butterfly/botanical garden 💛🦋
My take on a forced perspective city scape
@weary vale QUEEN
anyone have any idea what i can put here?
I wanted it to feel like an outdoor version of the museum bug area ❤️
i REALLY don’t know what to do with this space?? please help me out
@hallow remnant you could put a villager's house there? Its so big you could do anything!!
Did I hear birdbath inspo?
I finally managed to take a video do my island from the plane during sunset! 😭✨ Im so freaking happy with it heh.
I finally managed to take a video do my island from the plane during sunset! 😭✨ Im so freaking happy with it heh.
@latent shell WOW absolutely amazing!!!
wip of the new museum area! i need to fix the lake lol but. it's gonna look so much better once i get trees and decorate it
@versed wadi do you have the code for the stone path you’re using at the bottom of the photo?
@latent shell that’s stunning!! i would love to come over to get some inspo if that’s okay🥺👉🏻👈🏻
@magic capesorry, not off the top of my head but I found it on nooksguide.com searching for stone
thanks! I’ll see if I can find it
@hallow remnant hehe! I would love to open it up when I’m done! So far I’ve not worked on all the villager homes! 🥺 so I’m too shy hahaha. 🧸
I have a little beachside library on my island, any ways to improve it?
Does anyone have any ideas about what I could do with this space?
@narrow spade Cafe's always work in those blank areas :O or a garden?
@restive tangle ooh a garden could work, thanks!
has anyone got any simple, easy entrance ideas? no waterfalls involved pls 🥺
my island is open!!! if anyone wants to come and look around to get ideas or inspiration:3
@rich escarp I've seen quite a few people do waiting areas for their airport at their entrances and they look great ^^ Some public benches, a stall for souvenirs, blackboard, park clock etc and those custom designs for flights leaving to put on simple panels look great
Will the nook's cranny look good if i place in on the 2nd level? My island is kinda lacking some differing terrain levels lol
@distant moat yeah go for it!
@rich escarp Something like the entrance in this video might suit you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4vTxueoYsk

Aight!
ty!
Can a left and right side river mouth have a center rs? Just curious
What should I put near my nook’s cranny?
Flowers
@buoyant niche Bicycle parking area?
@buoyant niche flowers, benches, maybe even some signs would look cool!
How should I make this better?
Thoughts on my enterace?
@manic pine add some waterfalls (:
@rich escarp ok
I think my nook's area is too big..
Its like.. 13x10.
My favorite (and one of the only finished) spot right now! It's a little honey bee area behing the nooks and marketplace,,
Do ya'll think it needs more butterfly models or bee ones?
I wanna do a bee area so badddddd
Im gonna fill my custom design slots with the script of bee movie
A true artist, I see :)
@rich escarp my entrance! 😊❤
i hate this river, any tips to make it look nicer?
smooth out the sides more
the sides?
yeah well the turnes to left or right some more
Hi, I saw not long ago a restaurant/diner with the chic wedding set. Can/will anyone share inspo. For outside what path goes well with it or just the grass?
It kind of looks like a cat
@woven drift Not sure if this helps at all, but take a look at my rivers
@woven drift whats your plan for the rest of the river? You have a lot of space so you could do anything
i have no clue what i’m gonna do, should i just put the river after in done with the paths and decor?
@restive tangle i see chevre 👀
It kind of looks like a cat
@scenic blaze or someone doing the splits! lol
My rivers if it helps 🙂
@distant moat Ahhh hahaha yeah she was one of my first few villagers ^^" Might kick her out soon for diana though
Is this cute? Or is Iron and Stone fence a bit graveyardy? X
I am trying to do a fairy themed island, I have a lot of open space what should I do??
@woven drift i would do the river first and build around that
Any suggestion for which path i should use with houses and zen fence?
@pale thicket cute
Geez i look at my rivers and i think "wow. they're boring and bland af."
Every time I look at my map I somehow have added more water to it
@rigid kraken Stone paths
@rigid kraken I typically use stone or the tiled stone (?) paths
Now that i look at my island.. damn, the rivers are kinda wack...
what if i don’t put rivers
Hm.. i tried elevating the spot for the nook's.. and idk why but it looks... weird...
Reset my first island because teraforming made me so stressed, now I'm scared to do any big projects on my new 😂
@woven drift I've seen some people do just ponds but you won't be able to catch all the fish without rivers!
Today I found out you can't jump over holes or bushes or a garden lantern and I'm pretty sad about that
anyone have any museum designs
Anyways here's my wip island
Can someone show me their cafe spots? I feel like mine is missing something to tie it all together
^
@brisk mesa don’t know if this is what you want but here’s mine
@brisk mesa my café!
I'm not sure why but this looks kinda weird.. of course i'm gonna extend it southwards and i'm gonna add an incline..
It just looks.. odd.
Ty guys ❤️
Cliffs look bad until you decorate. Keep going
Can a left and right side river mouth have a center rs? Just curious
@queen nexus If you mean two south facing river mouths, yes! My RS is centered
Anyone has an outdoors museum and can show it to me?
here’s my fly-over. i still need to make changes and yes, marshals yard got overgrown by flowers. thoughts? (:
@brisk mesa my cafe! 😊❤
finished my crafting/lounging area 😄
Hm.. i still dunno what to do for my nook's entrance.. any help please?
I was thinking maybe to put a diner in front of it, but maybe i should just make a normal entrance?
@granite comet omg i love it
I have this beachside library on my island, can anyone think of ways to improve it? Any suggestions would be great ^^
looking for fake cliffs :c
@granite comet i love it! can i use it for inspiration?
@reef harboraw ty !
@tulip swan sure !
fake cliffs?
Hm.. i still dunno what to do for my nook's entrance.. any help please?
I was thinking maybe to put a diner in front of it, but maybe i should just make a normal entrance?
@distant moat A cafe or diner is a super good idea!!
Alright! ^^
@distant moat I've always loved seeing people do little parking spaces with tricycles for Timmy and Tommy outside Nook's 😛
has anyone got inspo for a townhall with like little cliffs around it
What if..
Diner with parking lot 😳
YES SO MUCH YES
thoughts on my house area?
that probably wont fit but i'll try to make it fit hh
Why is terraforming so annoying frustrating, and mentally draining?
I flattened out my island and I dont know where to start
opinions on my entrance? i’m thinking of revamping it
Now the thing is.. should i leave a one tile gap between Nook's and the cliff or should i leave no gap?
Anyone with their residential area split in two? If you did, did you split your villagers accordingly or just random
I'd say leave a gap, that way you if you don't like it you can either get rid of it so there's no gap, or add flowers or something 😄
Welp as you said that i just made it have no gap-
On the plus side, more room for the diner, yay
@pure nimbus i have a 3rd level and a 2nd level. i split randomly and i have 6 houses in the middle on the second level, my house on the left cliff, 3 houses on the right cliff and one more house to the left of that makes sense
@tulip swan for example, my two smugs, should they be together cause they get along very well or in the separate side for variety?
@latent shell please do not advertise
@pure nimbus i think it’s good to split with the exterior of the house or personality. for example if you have two brown woodsy liking houses maybe accommodate them. but i think it’s very smart to put your smugs together!
@tulip swan ok ty!
I'm gonna head to bed. It's 12am. Honestly, i've made some huge changes to my island and i kinda like them.
Cya guys!
Hey, any critics on my tiki bar
Good morning/afternoon, all (❀◕ ‿ ◕❀)
I made a small crafting area so if i have friends round to craft something for them or they for me, i always have a diy bench handy, i kept losing the one i carry around with me because i kept leaving it out and forgetting where i put it xD
Opinions on my farm/growing area?
i need some input, what fence would look good with this path?

@stable vessel maybe add some water melons
@pure nimbus where
can anyone help me with a castle design? ive only been able to find 2 or 3 for inspiration
@tulip swan that screams vacation! I love this
@ornate charm it’s a wip but maybe you could do a garden path?
This isn’t mine, but what do you guys think of this sort of “crammed” look? I personally am not a big fan. I think it’s too busy
Cramped is my goal, haha. I'm redesigning my mountain forest into a claustrophobic tropical jungle
my aesthetic is cluttercore
How can I make my museum better?
What do you guys think of my completed campsite?
I like the use of weeds
Same
Thanks
Tried to replicate Gotokuji temple
Wow That's a lot of lucky cats how did you get all of those
if anyone has an orchard, can i see it? i need some serious inspo :))
Any suggestions on this?
I'm struggling with how to design my entrance. Its so frustrating
Anyone have a wedding area on their beach but it’s in the garden theme?
Before and after
So my shops are cramped right next to each other, right in front of my museum courtyard area and I wanted to move them. Should I make them next to each other still or far away but symmetrical? Or just in legit random places
I had to trade like crazy on the furniture trade board
What else should I add?
Does anyone have 1 of their shops elevated and other below that I can see for inspiration
Any idea how I can spice up my space center? I've planned it as a viewing space for shooting stars
Someone can help me? I just don't know what to do in those two parts on the sides...
Advice for a beach house exterior? It’s for Plucky and I feel like the ‘shell’ furniture just doesn’t suit her tomboyish personality?
@vague gulch in your campsite, maybe a few trees just to make it seem like you are in a forest.
@exotic gate how about going on a fisherman hut kinda way? With CJ items, fishing rods and so on
I added trees behind my entrance does it look good??
@static pasture Oooh good idea! I think I'll go with something like that since shes close to the dock as well, thanks!
@karmic tundra personally I strongly prefer shops near each other, and if I'm visiting another person for shops it is more convenient also. If you have design ideas incorporating the shops that require a lot of space that may be a reason to separate them.
@unreal breach I think it looks really cute! c: Maybe add some white flowers around?
Oke
Hey, I’m looking for any suggestion for this part of my resident area (it’s didi’s house) 😄 🌸
does this little backyard area look good i made it in like 10 minutes when i was bored
Ow yes I like that @keen rock 😄
Can someone send their able and nook area
@bronze bridge thank you
Does anyone have a cute Asian themed island I can visit for inspiration??
just redid my florist, here's the before and after 🥰
I want to decorate the area in front and next to my nooks, anyone have any ideas?
My entrance area so far
I like it@vivid mulch
@rare barn tysm
Hey any critics on my tiki bar area?
I want to move my tiki bar area on to my beach, but I have no idea what to replace it with? Any ideas would be so appreciated!! Ty :)
Pretty much done my entrance area 🥰 lmk what y’all think I should add/fix
Can someone send me their shop area? I need inspiration :/
And also what tables should I use for my tiki bar area? I want it to be exciting and I’m gonna have floor lights and lava lamps, so I was thinking about using the items from the diner set, but they don’t look beachy. I was thinking rattan items but idk
Hii, any tips for a natural island ?
@karmic tundra these are my shop areas
@karmic tundra my tiki bar area using the diner set
@vivid mulch Thanks, but do you think the rattan would look better, or do you like the diner items better?
This was too cuteee omfg
@karmic tundra I went for the diner look so it looked a bit more club scene lol but the rattan look good too, I didnt use them only because I have them in my library
Need some entrance inspo
I have a problem i have copied entirely a whole island from a youtube video and i was wondering shoud i start a new island because this is gritting kinda bored
does anyone have a chart with pictures of all the zodiac items?
I'm super stuck on my museum--anyone have any good inspo?
Thats my island but I don’t like it anymore
That’s dope
Also, does anyone have an idea of what to put outside my villager’s house? His name is Walker and he has a lazy personality. I was thinking some of the colored wooden block items but idk :/
food and probably a hammock
@karmic tundra Lazy types love snacks and bugs so maybe something around that?
Ok thanks
Thoughts on construction site
I was gonna add nova stars and bushes, but is there anything else I should add?
@woven drift looks amazing in winter!
@karmic tundra this is what I did for my Ables! 🌲🐻✨
Maybe some statues, hyacinth lamps ans some flowers? @pine ridge
Here’s the town dump
I’m looking for “mini island” ideas for the circled spot. It’s a lake/river area behind my “town house” area.
Also I discovered a brand new way of pathing that has completely changed the way the paths look ✨ Hehe. Now it looks even more foresty 🥺
Currently my island layout is a mess.. can’t wait to learn how to move everything. Shame can’t move the mayors house
IKR?
I chose my island to have him in the center so I am unsure what to do
@fallen grotto I have tons If mini Islands! Here are some pics of Mine! C:
I chose to have mine close to thr airport so I had to be creative with blocking it
anyone got any market street/chaotic market kinda inspo w the stalls n stuff?
Mines near airport in center of island x-x
Here is my street market, it’s a bit different because instead of different layers I used bamboo
oooh i like
It was a good way to fill vertical space
yeah exactly and that reminds me i need to order a phonebox
@latent shell is ur villager houses all in one place or scattered?
Getting the diff colored phone boxes and soda machines were by far the hardest part of building it
I was going to add statues but I can’t find any :P@woven verge
Anyone got any inspiration/ideas for a beach setting? I'm clueless as what to do for my beaches
@minor silo theyre all on the beach because I’m having an existential crisis hahaha 😂 I haven’t decided heh
Anyone got any inspiration/ideas for a beach setting? I'm clueless as what to do for my beaches
@opaque sapphire well do u want chaotic busy beach vibes or like relaxed kiddy like beach or elegant?
i added a area that goes to redd
do y'all preferred scattered or all in one place if u have a natural island?
Also, should I make my tiki bar on the beach, or on the grass by the beach? (If it’s on the beach, it’ll be a bit smaller though)
@opaque sapphire well do u want chaotic busy beach vibes or like relaxed kiddy like beach or elegant?
@thorny kettle Errr probably nice and relaxed. Maybe a chill bar kinda thing idk
@thorny kettle Errr probably nice and relaxed. Maybe a chill bar kinda thing idk
@opaque sapphire hmm then perhaps a couple of stalls with drinks and apple stools perhaps
and some flowers
Anyone have codes for like the gray things to go on the sides of roads
What should I do with the large piece of land next to the houses? (Where the red indicator is.)
I have more of a natural/tropical theme.
i’m deciding for my flower garden what paths to use, i have the layout but idk. i’m leaning towards making the center path some form of cobblestone, and putting dark dirt underneath the flowers, any suggestions
Anyone know how to do those big custom welcome pathway signs? 😦
Anyone know what item this is next to the simple panels?
Looks like a cherry blossom
@vapid herald i think its a wardrobe
Anyone giving tours of their island?
Oh, that makes sense!
Gah I'm so happy I ended up with a round peninsula without realizing it lol
I need help deciding which color silo looks better for my lavender farm! I’m torn between the white w black one or salmon w blue roof 😫
white!
^
@vapid herald if youre referring to the white thing it looks like a wardrobe? I think?
@vapid herald could it be the organ you get from the wedding set?
Might be it yea
@next ivy one with blue roof
Kinda looks like a wardrobe but idk. The organ has a center piece that sticks up
I’m trying to find things that look great as “Walls” I’ve heard Rock Climbing furniture helps, but idk.
@vapid herald it might be the cute wardrobe they both have that thing on the top
Can I pls se someone's stargazing area because I'm trying to make one and need inspo 
any new ideas about my enterance? i would like to keep it minimal and artistic
@vapid herald it's the pink wardrobe
what should i do in this wee area?
what should i do in this wee area?
@thick zinc maybe a sitting area/rest stop if you don’t already have one!
@thick zinc i suggest a library or a crafting area?
@vapid herald that’s a piano from the wedding event i think
Trying to design my musium with dinosaurs posted outside. Could some people send me pics of there musium similar to that?
Saw my korok garden was used as inspo earlier 🤭 this pic ain’t updated tho oops
@dreamy prism here’s the bit right next to my museum
I need help deciding which color silo looks better for my lavender farm! I’m torn between the white w black one or salmon w blue roof 😫
@next ivy I like the pinkish one
should i A - use dirt and risk the un-natural sound of running on dirt and take away the weird looking outlines or B - use ANY other path and have a weird outline but have it sound right when you walk on it?
@thick zinc awesome thank you!
OR C - just use regular brick ig?? but i love this pattern
I think you should use dirt
dirt looks good to me
Hey guys a couple of questions, I’ve got a pretty decent size space left on my island that I’m not exactly sure what to with. I’m trying to keep it to fit an outdoorsy nature theme so if anyone has ideas of what I could do that would be awesome. Second thing, I’m building an outdoor zodiac garden but Sagittarius and Leo are wall hanging, does anyone have any ideas of what I could put in place of those two that would look good?
eeek but wouldnt it sound silly?
Hide music players around so you don’t hear it haha
anybody have any playground ideas? tryna get inspired by pics
@abstract veldt I wish we could place the dang Bow on cliff sides 😡
Can someone show me some Space Museum inspo?
And you can't even hear paths through custom patterns
you can!
@vapid herald right?? That would make things so much easier.
really? i can't hear mine idk
@low geyser
thts cute
One of my fav chill spots on my island. What do you think?
don't fall off! SPLASH!
What should I do with this area???
my campsite has been finished !! I’ve been really digging the clutter type theme lately ^^
I made a more convenient way to get from my house to my shop, does it look good?
does anyone else have a small distance between their airport & RS? i’m not sure how to make my entrance design since it’s so close
I do, it helps a lot to block off the area with cliffs
does anyone else have a small distance between their airport & RS? i’m not sure how to make my entrance design since it’s so close
@woven drift a lot of people usually use diagonal bridges to lead to RS from the entrance
@woven drift I do! I made like four mini waterfalls in front of my entrance.
@woven drift I do!!
@woven drift samee
@warm moon that’s what i was thinking too, but i’m not sure
neighborhood layout / lawn tips?
i’ve been putting it off for too long 😔
What to do with a large distance from airport to rs tho im so stuck
@chrome acorn Do like one of those cool waterfall things that are huge.
Does anyone have a five star island
@trim crypt I recommend you make the river more curvey and natural looking, but its up to you because it looks great!
@woven drift I had a small distance!! I put a bridge between the residence area and the airport !!
@chrome acorn cliffs and falls are the answer. Well my RS isn’t that far actually. It’s to the right of this pic but that means I have space right in front of it
@abstract bolt a diagonal bridge? how does it connect
I love diagonal bridges. I think I have 5
@hybrid sable how did you set yours up? ):
https://twitter.com/makoshards/status/1267252126985580544
i need some major advice! so, the link is a lil bit of my island.... and the image is what im thinking of repaving everything with, but over dirt. should i do it, or just keep the brick?
Ok thanks
i’m deciding for my flower garden what paths to use, i have the layout but idk. i’m leaning towards making the center path some form of cobblestone, and putting dark dirt underneath the flowers, any suggestions? 😅
hi, so I want to relocate my residents, I don't really know where to put them yet. But the current layout and houses just seem to make the space I have so small. Would you recommend putting all of the villager's houses on the beach?
@abstract bolt a diagonal bridge? how does it connect
@woven drift as long as you have like a diagonal area of water between rs and the airport u can put a diagonal bridge going towards resident services
@finite pendant may i see ur whole entrance?
Campsite
hii is anyone going for cottage/fairy core theme? If yeah do y'all use brick or stone paths
(heres the path LOL i totally forgot to post it)
Guys this is my last cry of help ! This raccoon is making me work without paying
I fixed up my campsite! I like it a lot more now

I really love getting to take screenshots at night.
Forgot to attach pics oops, lmk if you wanna tour since this is only my 1st time hosting a tour on this island I fixed
Can anyone share some really beautiful maps? I need some ideas badly
Ooo @woven drift that’s amazing!
where should this lead to? i’m kinda stuck rn : /
@steady reef tysm im actually finally almost done with it (until I find something else to destroy)
Too much water or not enough? 👀
I feel like I'm not even playing the same game as you guys!
@wet ore i feel ya
Here's mine atm, If If helps haha. Isn't done yet tho c: @timid cipher
@woven drift how did you plan out villager homes? I’m struggling with that part
@woven drift Most definatly Not enough water
Here is my island which I flatten out to start over.
@woven verge you’re right. I need more 😔
@steady reef I did not plan them 🤣 I didn’t plan anything on my island tbh. I did use to have a neighborhood tho. I think the only thing I planned was to put Audie and Marina by the beach bc their houses fit the beach
@woven verge I love it!!
@woven verge oh, wow that looks awesome! Would you mind sharing some pictures of the water, river areas?
@woven verge now THAT is good amount of water
can’t figure out what to do with this little space behind my campsite and suggestions?
@frigid canopy that is spectacular
Wait that’s unupdated map
Anyone done any orchids? Looking for inspo. I want to do something small and cute but still look like a nice feature without taking up so much space. Any pics would be appreciated!
@timid cipher Tysm! C:
I did all my terraforming in the back of my island and now I feel like if I do any in the front it’s just going to cover the back. Help 😦 any suggestions on how to connect my terraforming? I have so much empty space
To the right of where I’m standing used to be my orchard but I wanted to move it higher up, but now it’s gonna block my private beach
@woven drift omg woww 😍😍
@woven drift i don’t even understand how you can get your island like that 😯
@blazing fossil lots of trial and error 🤣
@blazing fossil Ill probably make there a little botanical area(some flowers, stall with naturę things, flowerpot plants)
i made a garden for diana and it came out perfectly
my island feels and looks so much smaller than all of yours omfg
@woven drift i can only imagine
@lunar leaf oo i’ll try that thx 🙏
@lostinspace#6767 I don't, Here are some of the areas! C:
Anything I should add to the stargazing area

Nooks + Ables
also where do you guys put with your flowers? specifically the basic non hybrid ones. I wish we could store them! I’m looking for inspo on what to do w them
@kindred valve you can place them on the beach for now
I'm reworking my shopping area and the 2 blocks I made for the pagoda don't line up right. Anyone got a fix for this? Dragging the pagoda doesn't fix it. I really don't want to remove the pagoda but I hate the way this looks.
I need inspiration on what to do to my island, and I found some pretty cool stuff
@granite forge put some Nova lamps!
This is my museum! Just waiting on another full fossil set to add to the left side
@woven drift that’s where mine are, but I’m not sure what my permanent spot shall be
I just take a bin with me to my flower fields when there are too many seed colours😂
Is it normal when you found a lily of valley on your island but then when you check to Isabelle, the island rating is 4 star? I got confused.
@kindred valve you could make a rainbow of flowers
@hushed dove sometimes the rating goes back down to 4 stars because of something minor (too many things on the ground, for example) and you found the lily after the 5-star rating.
Please come and vote for the best Runway in AC♥ It's on Twitch through AJsears37. DM for link to join and vote :3
@granite forge that is goals!!!!

Add?
Please come and vote xD
Trying to build a bridge and Puddles decides to go fishing!!!
You mean Ad? Lol
@rich trout yes. Isabelle did said that there's too many things on the ground. And since a few days ago my rating keep going up and down so i give up. But then i found lily of valley.
Yeah, vote/critique the runway on Twitch. How else can you invite people to an event. AJsears37 is hosting the event
@trim wyvern
Its not an island layout idea xD
@woven drift Tysm!!!
Runways definitely are a layout idea
May not be the greatest but did what I could do with this slightly large area.
Come and look. You'll see different runways from different people. You can get inspired 100%
If you need help with island layouts, check out my Pinterest. https://pin.it/5n0jPzz

Two very large areas need to be designed! Any inspiration for a shopping plaza & park ??
@woven drift what kind of park?
It could be a park kinda reminds me of Central Park
@woven drift what kind of park?
@woven drift unsure! Open to any ideas, just to filll the area to the left
@woven drift does any of this look appealing?
I rly need orchard inspiration mine sucks 😫💕
@hot adder
@woven drift does any of this look appealing?
@woven drift great!! thanks
If you guys need any inspiration, check out my Pinterest page, there’s a bunch of ideas. https://pin.it/5n0jPzz
any idea what i can put in this big empty space???? for reference, i put some pictures on what’s below (market/park) and next (shops) to it
@echo sparrow fountain?
i thought about it and it looked okay but with the waterfall in the back, i felt like it looked odd?
I rly need orchard inspiration mine sucks 😫💕
@hot adder here’s a little fruit stall i set up beside my orchard 😊
maybe a fossil,, the megalo one is a two part fossil and it looks super pretty where ever u put it !! Or a statue of sorts ??
That little fruit stand is awesome
@echo sparrow maybe a statue in the middle with some shrubbery?
@woven drift My island is crappy!!!
@woven drift mine!!
awesome! i’ll see what statues would look good. thanks guys!
: D
Does anyone have a good entrance idea for when your resident services is right next to the airport but only a little to the right of it??
my residential hall is literally so close to the airport and i cant do crap
diagonal bridge
Anyone have good inspiration for a museum
Fixed my entrance 🥺
i’ve posted this a few times but i’m just really proud of it! here’s my park + playground below the market and shopping district!
@hybrid trellis
Here's mine, wip though
@spring haven misty from the original pokemon
Idk what to do with my able sisters,, it's on a 3rd tier and idk it just looks wrong
Haha yea I did misty
Last night I did some terraforming
Need some mushroom forest inspo
Should I move the statue to a more see-able area?
I hate it ×8
@woven drift idk if this classifies
Heres current mush forest
@wispy estuary yes, it’s a bit plain, maybe add some plants, bushes, flowers
I’m remaking it so
What kind of white flowers look best next to stone staircases?
No don’t
I decided to move the location of ables on a whim last night now I'm like :l
It was too awkward to traverse
@wispy estuary ooooooof
It wont be too different though
@wet ore I'm a fan of white cosmos with stone stair case
Dw, I reset my island on a whim.....
or was it a whim?
All of my buildings/museum I kinda gave up and put them on a cliff
Jeepers, I cant wait to hate my island so much that I reset, then realize I'm too lazy to recreate and entire island :D ( but that's just me )
This is my island now.
Can I come tour someone’s island for inspo?? Dm me!! 🙂
What should I put behind RS? I have so many empty spots, I’m so stuck 😭
Okay.. so Ive seen so many amazing islands and I kinda wanted to do the same but on the other hand.. those islands are not me.. I mean, the way some are designed is amazing but not as playable for me as I’d like. Which means I “need” to go for a set up I kinda dislike but makes the game more playable.. An inbetween style would work but I can’t think of anything, which sucks.. So ive been into terraforming for 2 months and haven’t done anything.. wow. My brain sucks with overthinking everything
If you want you could always leave a huge empty space in the back
Gotta follow ur heart pepper
Tru
@wispy estuary preach
Opinions on my farm/crop area
Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of anything I could put here? I know it’s a small space, but I didn’t want to leave it empty. I wanted to put one of those mushroom umbrella things there (lol sorry I’m not good at explaining things) but I don’t have the recipe 😔🤚
@stable vessel could use some randomly assorted fences
Could you guys send me your museums? This is just my terraforming plan but it's not working so I'd appreciate the help!
Also the water is meant to be a circle but I cant figure that out so any help on that would be appreciated too!
@tropic slate a little waterfall on the cliff and a small pond under it? it doesn't have to be flashy, villagers just like sitting next to water
@limber ginkgo thx!
Any ideas for an item for the center of my plaza area
@woven drift how many spaces do you have behind each tree in your orchid?
How can y'all be so good at this? I'm absolute trash even though I'm very creative.
@trim wyvern it isn’t mine, but I’d put 2 or 3
It just takes practice
@ornate bluff honestly, me too. I just need money and maybe I’ll be good.
@woven drift Oh ok! thanks! Yeah I just wanted to be able to see the fruit behind yknow?
Should I fill this area in or get rid of that little area of the mountains?
??
Now everyone left😂😂
@hot adder what do you have on your island, like places such as cemetery, library, cafe
Is there anyone that can come to my island to help me please? I dont know what to do 😭
I bought a literal 1000 customization kits because it was so annoying running out
I bought like 600 and I'm almost out 😭
I have bamboo lounge, big garden, fountain area with benches, cafe area, that’s it lol @woven drift
I have construction site, dumpster, street market, zen garden, rock farm/mini desert, mush forest, overgrown ancient area
Is there a way to@move townhall
I’m willing to pay someone with millions of bells you name the amount or tier 1 villagers to someone that can design/edit my island
Hi, does anyone know how to make a rock garden? I have my island covered in mannequins and they aren’t spawning :(( I’ve time travelled a lot, but nothing’s working! Thank you 💕🥺
i need help, ive been stuck trying to think of an entrance layout
Here’s how the redux is coming, feedback appreciated
Hi, does anyone know how to make a rock garden? I have my island covered in mannequins and they aren’t spawning :(( I’ve time travelled a lot, but nothing’s working! Thank you 💕🥺
@tiny inlet send an image of where you want them to spawn
@hot adder omg I think our map is identical. Just make that part into an enchanted forest imo.
has anyone used circles as paths? i’m trying to but it looks bad the way i’m doing it i need inspo lol
Noice
Anyone got any idea on what I could put here behind my town hall?
I’d put a cliffs behind my RS and make it foresty
@limber ginkgo
hi!! sorry for the bad quality photo but does anyone have any idea what the pavement placeholder layout would look like for this type of round rock garden? i cant seem to figure it out ahh
@woven drift I like that idea! 😊😊
What flowers should I put in my red and white mush forest
What are some flowers that matches with pink mums?
If I want a pastel nature theme, what type of layout should I do?
is it just me or do paths look plain? what can i do or add to make it look nicer /more full ?
@unreal bridge tbh i would say that having ur houses not all directly next to each other helps to make it seem more natural and “town-y” u know
@dreamy oxide white tulips, pink cosmos, white lilies
@languid shadow okie thank you!
How do you change your island?
@teal birch I’ve seen a bunch of people put a little public music area there with a jukebox and instruments and a little seating area, if that’s your vibe!
@woven drift tulips or cosmos!
Anyone else make one of those long bridges? I'm thinking of doing it but im wondering how high the cliffs should be, 1 or 2 levels?
@echo sparrow u could make it thinner & add custom designs of flower patches or weeds or something here & there maybe
@woven drift maybe terraforming (if thats wht its called)
@grave gorge I have loads of music stuff! Might try and do some sort of forest vibe music area! Tysm!
@limber ginkgo
@tiny inlet did you check all your paths to see if rocks spawned there? they can still spawn next to paths if no furniture is around them
anyone have a cute lil reading area i could take inspo from?
Actually my only area with paths currently is where the rocks are supposed to be :’)
@uncut dragon My reading area / Dobie's home
@junior burrow how do u reset? do you lose all inventory?
@grave birch you clear your data whole new island, you are starting over again.
@viral maple oh, nvm then lol.
@junior burrow how do u reset? do you lose all inventory?
@grave birch I have all my stuff to a friend, deleted game data, then the friend gave it back, and I got a new island!
Please someone who’s any good at designing etc please pop up I’m in need of some help. Will pay!!!!!!!!🥰
(taps the sign)
@tiny inlet are there any cliffs on the southern side of the rocks? I had an issue previously where the circled rocks didn't spawn, but when I got rid of the cliff under them they spawned
any ideas what i can do to this area to make it better?
I know cliffs can block rock spawns but I don't know how far
@languid shadow maybe a different wood design?
@languid shadow definitely some fencing and houseplants!! its so cute, but the country fence could make it a little more isolated and homely feeling
@silver sorrel yea ive been meaning to change that one ,, i just feel that that one may be too dark for that area
Anyone???
@mystic fox
@barren karma yess ! ive been meaning to make more country fencing! thnk u :~)
I'll post this handy guide for valid rock spawn locations again! https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/gc11c1/guide_valid_spawn_locations_for_rocks/
worth pinning tbh
Can anyone help me come up with layout ideas or have a similar layout as mine?
oh also could i see y'alls homes from the outside ! like if you have gardens/backyards/ect 🥺
happy to help!! its super cute, i like the darkness of the wood personally, it just needs some white/pastel furniture to contrast against. like the mum cushions!
oh also could i see y'alls homes from the outside ! like if you have gardens/backyards/ect 🥺
@uncut dragon Mine's right next to the airport to make it easier when I need to fly out or open my gate in a hurry.
@uncut dragon here! ;o; a lil bit has changed, but its mostly the same!
Does anyone have a natural/Japanese entrance I could take a look at?
I went to take an entrance pic and I caught these 3 vibing in the plaza
I'm making a deck for Judy, because I'm replacing Maple for Judy. It's still a WIP, but I tried my best.
Shout out to myself for panicking when first playing the game and basically putting my nook cranny already on ‘the beach’
Does anyone have any forest-like entrances? I need some inspiration.
LF someone who can help me design my island! Will pay 500-2000NMT! Depending on how much detail you put into it
I'm basically like gonna make decks for every single one of my villagers.
oo nice- I'm tryna figure out my island layout tbh
idk what i wanna do yet, like where to put the museum and how to build around my extra homes
Ankha is gonna take a while, tho I'm making her a gold throne and like a lot of golden dung beetles. 😓
So my sister and I share an island and she was supposed to decorate the able sisters. So she decided to add two gravestones to symbolize their dead parent’s grave?! Is this too dark?
thats p e r f e c t
Does anyone have ideas on how I can decorate my campsite? I’m big time struggling 😦
(TAPS THE SIGN AGGRESSIVELY)
no one wants to use their time to design your island and get no credit, and just some ingame currency for their work. we're happy to advise you and even help, but we aren't doing it for you.
do something nature like, Put trees, And flowers around it, Heck even make a lil campfire spot next to it |>
Another forest update
can someone give me suggestions on how to decorate the outside of Monty’s home cause I have no idea
@woven drift thank u!!
can someone give me suggestions on how to decorate the outside of Monty’s home cause I have no idea
@coral carbon He looks like a winter theme monkey tbh. Maybe decorate a winter theme outside of his house?
yee! I gotta finish terraforming by the end of the day too im terraforming my island to look nice so i can do a birthday setup thingy
@coral carbon use flowers to match the exterior of his house

Does anyone have any cool idea on how to decorate stalls? 🙂
Does anyone have any cool idea on how to decorate stalls? 🙂
@olive halo make the stalls marketplaces
Where do you find designs for stalls
decided to really try out the terraforming tools in earnest last night, and made this lil entry area for my island! :) i need to figure out some lights to put up on the walls, haha, but i think it looks nice
Where do you find designs for stalls
@violet saffron you can use #misc-pattern-codes or at the kiosk at able sisters
@hushed echo can I give some constructive criticism?
@south raptor
What should I do here
@hushed echo white garden lantern maybe?
go for it, @calm granite !
I would reccomend putting the pink squares on a path, like the dirt path, so you can curve the corners
oh i did NOT know that was a thing you could do, thank you!
Np
idk if you guys know what i’m talking about but i saw an island that had a bunch of mini islands on it but i cant find it again, did anyone screenshot it?
What should I do here
@woven drift is this what you're looking for? https://discordapp.com/channels/494376688256548865/681277827244621855/717511847322058782
@hybrid sable you can make a park with a sand path, surrounded by iron fence, because sand path and iron fence go together good

Has anyone built a carnival on their island i need ideas

Anyone want to come and help me design my island I’ve had this game for a month and have no creativity 😂
does anyone have any good ideas for the rocky areas of the beach?
it looks fine like that, maybe some pathing and small things like streetlights or utyility poles could look nice
Does anyone have a waterfall entrance? Looking for ways to make mine less boring
I plan on placing them in a vertical row, so i thought it would look strange lol
does anyone have any good ideas for the rocky areas of the beach?
@trail dove i personally did a little white themed cafe
Entrance ideas ?
Should i leave my villagers only in one side or do both sides? Ohno
love when the moon is out!
I'm thinking of getting rid of my diner and just making it into a bar-area next to Nooks, should I do this, keep it as is or should I make the diner it's own seperate area?
that moon area is 
keep it
@fringe heron make it a bar/diner
it already is a bar-diner. 😅
I wish you could customize fences
I’d separate it a bit I don’t like having areas too big
finished my entrance! finally decided to make an instagram (konoharizons) if any of you wanna follow to see my progress 🙂
here’s my before and after of my cafe ! just keeping on sending the same pics cause i wanna procrastinate making a neighborhood 
I need honest opinions! This is my entrance, I feel like there's too many flowers...I'm not sure how to make it look any better though
@bleak tundra off topic but,,, is the sunflower crown a seasonal event item? Looks so cool :^0
I hate saplings so much why can’t we just buy full trees u_u
Step 1: eat froot
Step 2: go to nm island step3: trreee
I know I know but still
step 4: profit
map before & after, its still not done but shes come a long wayy🥺 (ignore the bottom half of the map ty)
@wispy estuary I believe so, it popped up in my nooks catalogue today!
🤔🤔🤔🤔
@ocean dragon what I would maybe consider doing to give it more texture is use some dirt under the flowers not all, just little patches with dark dirt and reg dirt, I found that to look really well and gives it a little more depth/ texture! Plus maybe get rid of some flowers and add some weeds! And maybe have some empty spaces aswell
There are chairs right there but she doesn’t even wanna sit on them LOL
My mushroom forest is coming along well
I want mushies :/
u know what u gotta do
Idk what my theme is but I like my island
Wait unpaitenetly?
Does anyone have ideas of what I can do for an entrance when my resident services is so close ? );
@maiden spade send pics of ur fav area

Any suggestions for my museum? I’ve been stuck on it for days and this is all I could do lmao
idk if you guys know what i’m talking about but i saw an island that had a bunch of mini islands on it but i cant find it again, did anyone screenshot it?
@woven drift
Was it like this

@ocean dragon there can never be too many flowers 😁
My fav area is my dumpster
@woven drift stand alone fossils,, some statues
Anyone have pictures of like a museum /garden/ music area?
@worn jungle oo that’s not the one i saw but i like that idea a lot too!
we love trash
Anyone have a surf shack?
Yeah I thought it was soooo cool 💀 if you find what you're talking abt I'd love to see it too. @woven drift
if uou pick up and drop mushrooms (for decor) will isabelle get mad at you?
@worthy tendon I would assume she wouldnt as it's considered a nature object ju kno
kinda like a shell or twig
@woven drift its like the dump from the Gamecube one! so cool.
It was a lot of fun to make
does this look good? sorry for the bad video quality
@thorn junco add shrubzzzz
Just finished this lil area right here :)) any opinions or more ideas to make it better?
Here
Anyone have any ideas on what I should do in this area in front of the housing area?
Really liking pekoes garden area/my flower cloning area lol
Any recommendations on this area?
@wispy estuary what is design code for the flowers you on the ground
How does this look? I know I need to add more the picnic; I ordered things that should come tomorrow thru the mailbox
does anyone have any beach inspo? all of my beaches are empty🥺
@hybrid sable it's the default three-leave clover design
Very incomplete town hall + a trade market
which looks better? i think my paths look plain and empty because they’re so wide so i tried to add some benches w furniture (,:
feedback appreciated
Okay so I got the hang of what I needed to do to improve the mushroom forest and I’m really liking how it’s coming out
@echo sparrow I’d say it looks more complete with the items there
tysm!
so i have my cafe near my RS and it just feels and looks awkward because the path isn’t centered and i didn’t know what to do with the 2 spaces, so i added some hyacinths.
is there anything i could do to make it look less awkward and more welcoming without having to move my cafe? 
idk how to feel🤨oh i also added some cupcake trees behind the stall so picture that there too
LF someone to come to my island with opinions and maybe ideas? :). I have so much blank space and i'm STUCK.
anyone have villager houses on the beach? I'd love to see them! 🙂
@wispy estuary oh thats perfect, thank you so much! and I love that last one wow I wanted to do something like that but I wasn't sure how sand on grass would work but its great!
It was really akward to work with but if u round out the corners it works okay :p
Finished my new mush forest
The new entrance to my island
Man,,, I hosted my island a couple days ago and I keep noticing items I dropped for aethetic reasons missing
oh no :<
Like why did u steal my orange? Do you need oranges? I have a bunch of orange trees plz take from those
@bronze cairn
Any tips on how to not make the flowers look more natural. Like not a solid line
planted some trees to make this awkward space in front of RS look not so weird. does it look better ?
@thorny vector you can throw in bushes or different colored flowers to break up the pink!
@thorny vector maybe like a checker pattern? But totes agree with the shrubs
@echo sparrow trees definitely look better! Have you tried to plant some bushes instead of trees? Because those trees are hiding your service center qwq
shrubs behind the flowers or in line with the flowers?
@echo sparrow love the trees there! I would also try some stunted trees if you want something shorter that is not bushes!
Tbh I'm not the best at suburban landscaping but maybe replace some flowers w some shrubs
What path should I use on my shopping area?
@thorny vector try it in line, it will break up the “unnatural” line of pink that you’re questioning. see how you like it!
@austere fog i had that idea a while ago but never looked into it, how do you stunt trees
@trail totem light dirt path w stone path surrounding the shop
is it just a matter of growing and then planting them too close to another tree for growth?
@sharp arrow plant a sapling next to it when u want it to stunt
you have to leave it there then huh?
Yee :/
@sharp arrow yes! once your tree has reached the growth stage at where you want your tree to stop, plant a fruit behind it (or around it) to prevent it to keep growing!
@trail totem light dirt path w stone path surrounding the shop
@wispy estuary i just need a path going towards the shops. I don’t really understand either, sorry
yeah behind it is not bad at all
