[rich summit]

[reef cobalt]

My new entrance!

[swift pier]

do you guys prefer my rock garden with or without the fountains?

[terse wren]

Without, the fountains take away the nature vibe

[sly dock]

not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what are yall doing with extra space on yr islands? like mini cafés, library, arcade, etc... please help lol

[terse wren]

Well you can make a library, a cafe, like our tables in the villagers house and match there theme with the furniture you give them.

[final dagger]

Some work in progress areas my fiancé and i have going for our Harry Potter section

[woven drift]

I joined like 6-7 days ago, and have unlocked paths, any help- ;◡;

@final dagger hey I also have a Harry Potter theme going on for my entrance!

[opal bough]

@main sedge do a second row of houses behind the one DownR. Maybe up on a cliff, if you can spare an incline or two. Move nooks to the other side of RS by the museum. Or just opposite Ables south of the river.

[queen frost]

anyone willing to share some like house layout ideas? (like villager houses around the island)

[ebon vine]

for people with natural theme islands do you guys put the villager houses close like a neighborhood or do you scatter them? idk what i want to do,,

[woven drift]

scatter them

[fossil kraken]

Scatter

[terse wren]

I have them together lol

[turbid wadi]

does anyone have any walkway to redd ideas ? for like nature and cottagecore

[grave field]

What should i build here?

[terse wren]

scatter them
@woven drift since you responded to his text, may I see some of your designs?

[limber crater]

@grave field small sitting area or a music area

[knotty solar]

@grave field I would say a chill sit down place or maybe a mini coffee shop

[lament cloud]

Can i see what some of you have done with your beaches?

[terse wren]

Does anyone have nature themed inspiration?

[tulip plaza]

Does anyone have tips on how to transition areas nicely? I am aiming for a forest-like theme with dirt pathing, mountains and trees all throughout the island, but I would like my town hall + nooks + ables to be more 'commercial' with stone path around the center of my island. I just can't seem to have it switch from 'forest' to 'stone' right

[ebon vine]

@lament cloud

[grave field]

Thanks!

[turbid wadi]

does anyone have walkway ideas ?

[lament cloud]

Thanks Midas I like that. I was thinking of making a surf board shop!

[ebon vine]

:D np, and surf board shop sounds cool

[terse wren]

@lament cloud

[lament cloud]

@terse wren thats so clean! What tables are those? I was gonna use brown tables as counters but i like the white/grey ones you're using!

[paper thorn]

can people please send photos of their maps? i’m struggling to figure out where to build cliffs and stuff

[terse wren]

They are called den desk @lament cloud

[uneven mortar]

Hey guys, after playing for a while I realised that I suck at terra forming so, I am looking for someone to give me a design layout (map and actual land) with a few requirements I have in my mind. I can pay in NMT, bells, full sets of furniture, full sets of clothing (power suits, mage), some gulliver items, full zodiac set or a combination of those. Please DM me Thank you.

[reef pine]

wisp is the referee of the battle

[kindred thistle]

@woven drift maybe set out stalls and tables and make like a market place which doubles as a trading area

[jolly depot]

I will pay someone to take good photos of 2 areas in my island

@heavy summit I thought that was real for a sec lol

[light breach]

Does someone know what this table/bar stool item is that's in front of the stalls?

[heavy summit]

These abandoned houses makes good crows nest

[minor pier]

Any lighthouse ideas?

[sly aurora]

That looks amazing!

[stiff tundra]

Should I put my wedding furniture on this little island or put it on the beach?

[limpid bobcat]

this is the hard part since idk what to do for here

???

[jovial sierra]

woaah where'd you get those rocks? Pebble path thingy?

[compact adder]

I’m in the process of redoing my island to make it more natural and cottagecore. Should I get rid of my orchard or keep it?

[gleaming kelp]

@stiff tundra put the wedding stuff on the beach!! itll look so pretty there

[sly aurora]

I’m in the process of redoing my island to make it more natural and cottagecore. Should I get rid of my orchard or keep it?
@compact adder I’m redoing my island at the moment too lol, I got rid of my orchard and I have a cottagecore theme, but I guess it really depends.

[compact adder]

@sly aurora I really like mine but it’s boxy and not natural looking I don’t think it goes with the theme. I’ll probably move it and see how it looks and then if I don’t like I’ll probs get rid of it lol

[stiff matrix]

Hey guys anyone hv like a fairy mystic vibe island I can visit for inspiration

[turbid wadi]

does anyone have any walkway ideas ?

[solid cargo]

hi!! ik its pretty basic but the street designs are super cuteee!!

it honestly just depends on ur island theme (˘︶˘).｡.:*♡ like im currently redoing my island but yeahhh

[scenic talon]

Anyone knows a good way to decorate ur entrance from the airport

[solid cargo]

i notice that a lot of people have water falls or something like that (´∀｀)

[scenic talon]

I was gonna make another layer near and make like a bridge but plaza in way

[feral adder]

Can you guys please help me figure out something to put in these four corners. I hate the flowers

[austere heath]

@feral adder Since it's in front of the museum, maybe fossils?

[quiet lodge]

Statues or small fossils on a safe like this

[feral adder]

Ohhh is that a safe?!? Okay! Okay.. i have the dinosaurs tracks everywhere already so i feel like that would be underwhelming and fosils are awkwardly not complete usually but ill keep searching but i love that stand with the model of the scorpion 😮 thanks dudes

[quiet lodge]

Yeah it’s a safe but turned around

[feral adder]

I wonder if i can customize safes i only have yellow

[woven drift]

safes arent customizable

[feral adder]

Welll.... shoooot

[elder tendon]

Does anyone have any ideas for what to do with this area? I was thinking windmill plant or spa but I don’t know, everything I place here doesn’t work. This is the backwoods/ mountain area of my island

[feral adder]

Make a campsite with sleeping bags and a campfire!

[elder tendon]

Thanks but I already have one... maybe a smaller one though like a forest one

[woven drift]

a stargazing area?

[elder tendon]

That would be good

[woven drift]

😊

[solid cargo]

@scenic talon ahh yeah i was looking on Pinterest and i found some inspo if u want me to send~ sorry for the late replyy

[granite kayak]

Why do people only use the statue of nike

[scenic talon]

Sure, that be wonderful c:

[woven drift]

How do you guys get all this stuff

[cosmic ingot]

[red cosmos]

Anyone have any cool entrance ideas mine is really boring rn

[finite fable]

How do people decorate their shops?

[woven drift]

So after seeing everyone’s perfect island I decided to reset mine I’m low key hoping for someone to talk me out of this but at the same time I’m not

[prisma jay]

Don’t do it

[red cosmos]

@woven drift you just gave me some ideas

[turbid wadi]

ur island is unique to you ! don’t change for the sake of others

[grave field]

Just trying to get some feedback :)

[woven drift]

@woven drift your villagers are so good tough

[sinful goblet]

I’m about to start my entrance. Looking for ideas! Send yours

[turbid wadi]

@woven drift if you do can i have pietro

[woven drift]

@woven drift also doing the early game stuff is kinda annoying to do again

[short flare]

@woven drift your island seems lovely already!

[woven drift]

I just thought maybe I want a entrance that lines up with my town hall and my friend is gonna hold my stuff for me do y’all still think I shouldn’t

[red cosmos]

@woven drift can I have sherb lol

[wooden sluice]

The artist’s is the one that see’s the imperfections, but let’s be honest no one else does

[austere yew]

I’m so FRIKIN jealous 😔😔 I.I- just suck at the game welp-

[red cosmos]

@austere yew I feel your pain

[austere yew]

:(((((

[tame badge]

I've mostly cleared my island. I'm looking for a fairy/cottage type vibe with a lot of nova lights, mush lamps, and waterfalls. Any inspo?

[ebon bough]

What should go opposite Godzilla. Bought another monster statue in another color but it doesn’t fit :(. Need something else to put infront of it

[lapis temple]

@ebon bough the robot

[sly kayak]

Decided to reset my whole island and now it’s a barren land. I need help with rebuilding 😔 does anyone offer any redesign services ?

[limber crater]

@sly kayak if you go on nookazon there are people that offer island redesign ideas for a price

[ionic prairie]

anybody got a outside wedding ceremony area?? i have some ideas for mine but idk how to spice it up

[sly kayak]

@limber crater I’ve been on it for the past 2 hours and no one’s responding

[lapis temple]

would it be cutting the fun out of AC if u dont design ur own island

learn to enjoy the imperfection lol

[woven drift]

I made the decision to just remove everything from my island

gotta agree lol. A huge part of playing acnh is designing your own island

[soft sparrow]

So I recently just finished working on my campsite and then realised I have a little area here and I don’t know what I should put over here, any ideas of what I should put here (also this is the 3rd thing done on my island so I don’t really have anything moved or built so anything can work here)

[woven drift]

@soft sparrow maybe a bonfire area or just put stuff people put in the campsite area like the brick oven and clothesline

[soft sparrow]

Most of That’s stuffs all already inside my campsite area, this just a random part that’s near it, i don’t need anything else done for my campsite atm

[gleaming kelp]

@soft sparrow garden, train station, bus stop, playground, fishing spot, cemetary, etc

[open fern]

Can someone give me some ideas as to what to do for my campsite area?

[lusty yarrow]

Does anyone have pictures of personalized villager yards? I want to make each of my villagers yard inspired by them but am having trouble finding inspiration.

[stiff matrix]

Hey guys this is my pink diner hope y’all get inspired

[royal oak]

Hi! I currently have a three star ugly island. I have a LOT of inspiration pix but don’t know where to put these areas. Pls dm me if you want to help!!! I can tip in any currency! Tysm I really need help

[unborn dust]

feedback pls

[woven drift]

@unborn dust maybe streetlamps or some light

[unborn dust]

i have some to the side out of the photo couldnt fit the in lol

[woven drift]

So this is my plan so far! Any ideas on what to do with the bigger space? i planned to do a themepark but idk how to make it look for a theme park :')

[viral breach]

Add tiling under the fountains too, just gotta fill up the place with more stuff really
Maybe some iron or lattice fences and instead of that flower placement have a line of flowers go straight in the middle and two benches on each side @unborn dust

[dapper wyvern]

I need a diner pic pls

[unborn dust]

ive been thinking about the iron fences, but i want a more open area not closed in by fence, like central park in nyc

[viral breach]

@woven drift you can have a multi-level theme park each with designated areas; one thats super modern (arcades), one thats more old school (pinball machines, darts, pool tables) and maybe a seating area with a bit of food stalls or a mini cafe

[royal oak]

@unborn dust more trees then! And more lights n stuff, I used to live next to Central Park and it has more going on 🙂

[viral breach]

Facts, lights and maybe a few bushes sprinkled out

[barren carbon]

any frozen themes

[unborn dust]

@royal oak tysm for the advice! its nice having someone from the place im getting inspration from

[royal oak]

@unborn dust I can offer more advice if you want!

[unborn dust]

sure! hit me

[woven drift]

can you gives give me examples of your nook cranny? trying to make the outside look cute

[austere sand]

@dapper wyvern here's a beachside diner/bakery I designed!

[short reef]

should i use wooden stuff (the wooden mini table and wooden stools) or the natural garden stuff for my cafe

[dapper wyvern]

I need a diner pic

[gleaming kelp]

natural garden forsureee 💞 @short reef

[royal oak]

@unborn dust alright! So maybe some decoy ducks in a fake/real pond as Central Park has water feautures! Maybe some picnic spots, lots of light features ofc! Definitely make a border of trees, and you could do hedges as ur fencing to keep it earthy and natural! HMU if you neeed anything more I would love to help if ur doing an NYC theme

[open fern]

I need campsite pictures, please :(

[austere sand]

@short reef I personally prefer the detail in the natural garden stuff, they're more interesting to look at!

[royal oak]

@open fern sameeee I need unique pix not like the generic tho

[unborn dust]

@unborn dust alright! So maybe some decoy ducks in a fake/real pond as Central Park has water feautures! Maybe some picnic spots, lots of light features ofc! Definitely make a border of trees, and you could do hedges as ur fencing to keep it earthy and natural! HMU if you neeed anything more I would love to help if ur doing an NYC theme
@royal oak dannng thats a lot, im denfintly expanding the area with this advice, thanks!😂

[drowsy quiver]

I need campsite pictures, please :(
@open fern

[faint arrow]

@unborn dust more flowers!! 🌷

[unborn dust]

@faint arrow Ofc!

[west summit]

I think I’m done with pathing my island lol

[mental ibex]

@dapper wyvern here's a beachside diner/bakery I designed!
@austere sand these designs are so pretty wow 🥺

[faint arrow]

My dream campsite lol

[royal oak]

Does anybody have any fairy styled campsite pix? Or anything unique Bc I have other spots that are more rustic

[unborn dust]

@west summit uh how much time do you have on your hands that must of took awhile

[west summit]

@unborn dust too much apparently

[native plover]

Does anyone have a nice shopping area inspo? My nooks and ables are right next to each other and I would love to see what others have done with theirs!

[bold charm]

@drowsy quiver do you have acode for the path on the campsite?

[marsh trail]

does anyone know how close you can place a staircase from the dodo airlines? cause i wanted to make a bridge like this at the very entrance of my town and i’m too broke to buy one to test it out lol^^

[winged thicket]

i am stuck with building island, dont know where to start to build my own, where should I start with first?

[west summit]

@winged thicket entrance

[royal oak]

@winged thicket entrance! It’s easier then it looks n you can rly show your style in the first few steps!

[winged thicket]

its already 230 hours, but I havent finished anything yet

[royal oak]

@winged thicket SAME here like exactly! I give advice Bc I know ab how to do this it’s just too hard to do it myself ahhh

[winged thicket]

just build, then break, build then break, then 230h

[royal oak]

@winged thicket exactly!!!! We shouldn’t beat ourselves up abt it though, this game is supposed to be a relaxing creative outlet so we can’t be “behind” in the game! It can feel so stressful seeing all these pretty islands 😖😖

[alpine flax]

anyone have raymond yard design?

[gleaming kelp]

@bold charm

[winged thicket]

it drives me crazy, I wanna quit tho 😫

[royal oak]

@winged thicket awwww, I felt like that recently. Remember, it’s JUST a game. You can stop for a bit and come back there is NO pressure. Just because other people have it all perfect doesn’t mean you have to! I currently get help from posting on discord and I’ve made good friends!

[bold charm]

thanks a lot @gleaming kelp

[royal oak]

@royal oak you can totally post and ask for help abt designing and planning!! Super super fun!

[woven drift]

i need ideas, for like the redd private beach.

[warm dew]

@winged thicket can I see your map layout? And same man, I’m about to hit 400 hours and I’m FINALLY getting an idea of what to do. Happy to say my entrance around RS, and restaurant is finished and my shops are secured in a place I feel is right.

[zealous valve]

i made a mini amusement park 😁

[deep copper]

yoooooo thats sick!

[coral crescent]

@winged thicket what i did, is that i pick a theme for my island, then make everything flat close every river and cascade, move all villagers house to aside , after that every idea to terraforming and decoration came smooth

[royal oak]

@coral crescent honestly whatever you go with you may wanna change, I’ve redone a LOT. I say, find inspo pix of things you like, then recreate them. This way, you don’t have to worry abt map shape and just make sure every spot on your island feels special

[dim grotto]

What should I put on both sides on my city entrance?

[warm dew]

@winged thicket pretty solid map imo. Definitely would be good to start off with a entrance that leads to RS in someway. Then you build other things around the RS, however fits your style

[royal oak]

@warm dew can we help you in any way? Like what’s ur theme/style?

[winged thicket]

I am thinking of a mountain+forest style, but I dont know how to terra forming with mountain

[west summit]

I'm getting to 500 hrs of gameplay time, pretty much have most of my exterior island done, but have next to nothing with the interior lol

[royal oak]

@winged thicket honestly going on chatrooms in this server and asking for help while also explaining your themes, ideas, time restraints, and any details is a great way to find someone who will be able to help! (Def pay them though, they deserve it!) I couldn’t help Bc I’m far far from@five stars but I’m sure you can find somebody!

[winged thicket]

i just found this few secs ago

[warm dew]

@winged thicket theres a user named May who has lots of good waterfall and mountain placements let me see if I can find her username so you can see her photos

[lone ocean]

LF some ables/nooks shopping plaza inspo

[royal oak]

If anybody could help me with that too I would app, my friend is super helpful but we haven’t gotten around to where we should place the waterfalls in my fairy areas

[warm dew]

@winged thicket may#7388 this is her username/tag. If you search this channel with posts from her that include images you’ll find a lot of good examples

@winged thicket She has some very good waterfalls and mountain placements as you can see @storm bluff

[winged thicket]

great, @storm bluff

[royal oak]

@winged thicket please don’t quit btw! You got this!

[winged thicket]

already 230 hours, too late to quit

[marsh cosmos]

Does this theme clash with zen theme?

[teal mortar]

Depends where the zen theme is and how it transitions

[fringe carbon]

have u guys heard of the pathTM

[nova heath]

Anyone want to come visit a witchy/forest/terraformed island? DM ME!

[fringe carbon]

on twitter it is a pretty big ordeal right now😂

[wary hemlock]

are all those paths that creators?

[fringe carbon]

i believe so yes

[coarse crater]

map is a tad out of date on the right but I am not loving my village houses. Should I just pay to move them all to the beach or try and work around them?

[fringe carbon]

oh no u have worked so hard

it looks really pretty in my opinion so i wouldnt!

[stable dune]

Ok so, new island here. I have the almost perfect layout (for me) but I don’t love the airport color, should I restart again?

[woven drift]

I wouldn't

[turbid wadi]

my pathway to redd !

[harsh palm]

I have a massive empty piece of land, what should I do with it? Any suggestions?

[clever wraith]

maybe do a cafe? 🙂

[harsh palm]

How would I get a building?

[clever wraith]

an outside cafe 🙂

[sly aurora]

...

[harsh palm]

Lol

[gloomy garnet]

A library?

[brazen horizon]

im just waiting patiently untill a new update/ event :0

[harsh palm]

Thanks for the suggestions

[chrome acorn]

Or you could get a players house and decorate the interior for the cafe if u wantsd

[vast scroll]

Is this a good entrance

Is this an ok entrance ?

[lunar leaf]

LF someone with 2 south rivers
I need inspo 👉👈

[twilit lintel]

@lunar leaf tbh i got rid of one of my rivers lol

[sullen tusk]

so i need an opinion on a layout thing that’s been bugging me: my entrance is this massive garden in the shape of one of the knots in my flag (1st photo). Unfortunately due to the island layout, I can either have the one entrance centered on the plaza (second photo), or have it centered on the airport (third photo, but i have it centered on the plaza rn.) do you think I should center it on the airport instead? i don’t really want to dig everything up to move it two spaces left but idk.

[winged thicket]

i have 2 south river too, still look for idea

[twilit lintel]

@lunar leaf

[stable dune]

@twilit lintel I love your villager + player house area

[twilit lintel]

@stable dune tyty. the layout is nice. but i should have spread them out a bit more to give them a bit more of a yard. but oh well

[sullen tusk]

that’s fair tbh, the plaza is more of a “center”piece than the airport so it makes sense to center it there i suppose

[manic kelp]

Before and after

[sullen tusk]

if only we could move the plaza 😭

[woven drift]

there is a way to move it but you unfortunately need to hack

[manic kelp]

If only there was a way to just make it smaller

[nova heath]

@vast scroll I recommend you put the moons somewhere more visible but I love your idea!

[vast scroll]

@nova heath thanks for advice 🙂

[plain cargo]

@lunar leaf

[sour basin]

What should I put in this plaza area that I made? Right now it’s a big empty space

[bright trench]

hey guys !!!!!! can anyone post pictures of their entrances??? i need some ideas 🙂

[mortal moon]

@vast scroll

[hazy folio]

Only took me 230hrs but I finally have a 5 star island! Woohoo

[twilit lintel]

@bright trench

[lunar leaf]

@bright trench heres mine

[hazy folio]

My entrance is a bit different to most

[heady cargo]

everyones islands r so nice🥺

[lunar leaf]

@heady cargo my island is kinda trash

[heady cargo]

noooo

[lunar leaf]

Not even ½ of it is finished
I have to work on it but I have an art block and cant do anything 😭

[woven drift]

ideas on how to decorate the outside of nook cranny?

[rich tree]

I tried to remake this area from ponyo 🥰

[heady cargo]

@lunar leaf same😔

[twilit lintel]

@woven drift

[lone lynx]

lowkey running out of ideas for my island, so i decided to take some nice photos instead
pls lmk if you know any areas that would look good on a natural island!!

[woven drift]

ty! @twilit lintel 💗

[twilit lintel]

@woven drift miyu my area around nook and able store has food stalls, a diner, a beach restaurant/bar, and a hotel connected to it

[queen hazel]

wrong person :) @twilit lintel

[worn jay]

Any ideas on how to improve the entrance, i don't have idea...

[hazy raven]

@worn jay fence, bushes, trees

@worn jay or maybe some street lamps

[stoic knoll]

@worn jay Maybe add some more vibrant colors? Its kinda flat, replacing the tulips or even the path to a stone would really help, and maybe replace the stone under the fountain with dirt

[woven drift]

Idk what to do for my island anymore ugh

[hazy raven]

@worn jay instead of those white lilies, you could add benches or chairs

[stoic knoll]

@woven drift what theme are you going for? that always a good place to start

[woven drift]

Natural

[hazy raven]

@woven drift I know. ;( I'm feelin the same right now. Kinda feel like starting over 😄

[stoic knoll]

@woven drift and a color scheme? Also natural can mean a lot of different things. Are you trying to go for a forest theme?

[woven drift]

My island. It’s almost filled to the brim except some parts of my beaches and my house ugh it’s been two days and I haven’t played much bc idk what to do anymore

[stoic knoll]

@woven drift I think it's great, is there a part of it you dont like or are yu just bored?

[worn jay]

I think i just don't have enough space but i think i'll get some bushes and street lamps. Also going to replace for stone path, but the structucture doesnt convince me at all :(

[woven drift]

No there’s just empty spaces

[stoic knoll]

@worn jay then replace it, Im sure if you start from a fresh space you'll struck gold

[worn jay]

I think i'm going to start over again lol

[hazy raven]

I wish Nintendo gave us more save files! I think I just wanna work on a diff theme w/o deleting my current one

[limpid egret]

Can everyone post some entrance inspiration? I’m stuck

[stoic knoll]

@woven drift hm, is there anything you want to do to improve your game play? Make new stores with other accounts, create a town for your villagers? Make a star gazing space? entrance for your museum

[winged thicket]

is there any tool for design, like the happy island

[hybrid prism]

What do you guys do with the space around your resident services? I’m considering raising up the land all the way around resident services and making it like little ravines to get to the main places. I just have no idea what I would do with that space 🤔

[worn jay]

The services being close to the entrance is kind of inconvinient, rip for me

[hybrid prism]

@limpid egret this is my entrance

[twilit lintel]

@limpid egret

[stoic knoll]

@hybrid prism I think its a good idea just make sure to plan out pathing before you do anything, the plaza is dead center and basically leads to everything else on your island. Its an important landmark so dont block it off too much

[versed wadi]

@limpid egret

[stoic knoll]

@hybrid prism could use some flowers anda bit of light, but I think it's a great start!

[hybrid prism]

Yea it’s grown now! But that was where I began

[woven drift]

@stoic knoll actually i don’t have a stargazing area so i should make that. I have this lil hidden area by the campsite

[nova heath]

Just finished doing some island tours !
Island theme: witchy/forest

[austere heath]

@limpid egret

[next lava]

can someone help me with my island its so sad

[stoic knoll]

@woven drift thats a great start! but Im sure you'll finish that quick, so Im wondering if there is anything specific you like to do in game? adding personality to your gameplay can keep you occupied and easily improve your island, for example the first tree I ever planted now has its own memorial

@next lava whats the issue you are facing?

[neat veldt]

Just had to share this 😍😍😍
It came out so good

[next lava]

everything lol mostly paths and terraforming and filling in space

[woven drift]

@stoic knoll yeah true. It’s just I’ve been doing so much on my island since somebody from twitch is gonna come visit me in two weeks-ish so I’ve been trying to finish it. I do need to do like 3 rooms tho and 2 beaches.

[stoic knoll]

@neat veldt So cool! It looks like those Land Before Time films

[neat veldt]

@stoic knoll omg that’s probably why i love it so much

[stoic knoll]

@woven drift dont stress so much, thats what ruins games like these, its meant for you to take your time and play as you go. I suggest taking it easy and working on a project you want to work on

[neat veldt]

I’m making a little fair and thought to kinda put this in front of pietro house to kinda do a play for the villagers

[neat rivet]

Hi all. I’m new to AC and I started playing about 2 weeks ago. I’m obv at the very beginning early stages. I need help with the layout and pick a theme. Currently I’m moving houses to the top of the cliff since my island is so limited on space. I got lots of trees that needs to be cut down and replanted. If you would like to help, pls DM me. I’ll pay you in bells or NMT.

[winged thicket]

@versed wadi can I have a look at the red area

[stoic knoll]

@next lava Do you have a idea in mind? What's the theme your going fo on our island?

[next lava]

@stoic knoll idk yet im kinda clueless where to start

[stoic knoll]

@next lava its always good to start simple. What colors are you leaning towards and what's the vie you want to get when you walk onto your island? You dont even have to get specific, just think light or dark, cute or gothic, stuff like that

[next lava]

@stoic knoll id day light and cute

[neat veldt]

@next lava I recommend starting with your villager wish list think about who u really want on the island and what type of environment they like
For example I did pietro (a clown sheep) and I made him a little fair
Then I did Jillian (a unicorn) and I’m doing like a magical garden for him

[next lava]

i have all my dream villagers thats what ive been working on

so now im trying to get one of those gorgeus 5 star islands but im not good at stuff like that

[stoic knoll]

@next lava Thats a good start, any ideas on basic layout? Do you want a more flat landscape or more terriformed? flowers? getting a feel for what you want makes the important things like entrance a breeze

[next lava]

i like flowers and kinda bothe terrforrm and flat areas

my villagers rn are Raymond, stitches, bob, skye, fang, pekoe, judy, coco, aknah, and lucky

[fringe carbon]

im so happy with my new map ❤️

[brittle isle]

it looks v pretty <333

[fringe carbon]

i just finished the residential area still work in progress

[ebon bough]

Stitches and merengue get the chilly section of the three tier neighborhood

[stoic knoll]

@next lava I guess what I suggest for you is to decide what you want. What type of flowers, paths, ect. I also think it would be better if you dont pour your time into planning if you dont feel confident in your building skills, start with something basic like putting down paths and do one project at a time (I suggest entrance first, because it helps set what the rest of your island will look like). If your unsure about a certain area or need ideas, you can always come back here 🙂

[next lava]

thank you!

[wet ore]

Does anyone have an octagon river area?

[stoic knoll]

@wet ore Ive never seen one of those before. May I ask what are your plans? Just curious

[crystal relic]

did anyone make an area for the wedding things? if so, can i see to get an idea

[worthy veldt]

Where did you guys "place" your rocks (if you've moved them)? I flattened out my island and I thought it would be the most easy to move my rocks first before starting anything else, but I'm not sure where to put them🥺

[stoic knoll]

@worthy veldt put them in an area with lots of space around it so you can collect the items if you are going to farm them, but I think the best place is where dirt/grass is, so you can dig behind it and get the most out of your rocks

[wet ore]

@stoic knoll it's going to be my central area community area. You can gain access from three sides by bridges. One to the neighborhood, museum, and garden

[dark geyser]

spare forest/cottage island pics pls i need INSPO

[stoic knoll]

Wow! is the island in the center going to have a center piece? and is the central area behind the plaza since it cant be exactly central

@wet ore

[lunar leaf]

I need some inspo for rivers
I have 2 southern ones 👉👈

[dapper wyvern]

Anyone has a dinner place pls will pay if nice

[worthy veldt]

@stoic knoll > @worthy veldt put them in an area with lots of space around it so you can collect the items if you are going to farm them, but I think the best place is where dirt/grass is, so you can dig behind it and get the most out of your rocks
@stoic knoll I was thinking more about the place where to put them so they don't stand out too much.. Maybe putting them behind the resident servies or next to my fruit tree farm?

[winged thicket]

@versed wadi seeing your island make me wanna sleep and dream of my island

[wet ore]

@stoic knoll Thanks! It is right behind my RS. I made like a tourist/stargazing area. This is going to be the central piece. I'm placing my golden roses, money trees, and nova lights.

[dapper wyvern]

Anykne has a diner

[stoic knoll]

@worthy veldt wherever you want, as long as you can reach 'em 🙂

[dapper wyvern]

I need a diner will pay nmtsssss

[worthy veldt]

@dapper wyvern You mean diner furniture?

[dapper wyvern]

Nooo like a place pllsssssssssssss

[stoic knoll]

@wet ore amazing! hopefully you chose a lighter colored nova light to balance out the heavy gold of the roses

[worthy veldt]

@stoic knoll Hmm, thank u 😊

[versed wadi]

@lunar leaf here’s my map showing my two south river mouths.

[stoic knoll]

@versed wadi keeping that loop around the bottom of your island was a good idea!

[wet ore]

@stoic knoll thanks I may change what I place there but I'm still going to make a octagon

[solar turret]

Can anyone give advice? Only part I like is east of the river (orchards and zen garden)

[gilded falcon]

My street ;-;

[versed wadi]

@stoic knoll For a time I shut off the bottom left one. But reconnected it in the end.

[lyric hollow]

i have some open spots on my island that idk how to fill ?? i have a market place, orchard, cafe area, zen area, and neighborhood already :/

[granite glade]

put a poop palace

[stoic knoll]

@solar turret I dont now what look your going for, so this advice might not help, but I think adding some more greens would really help, all the pathing creates this really blocky look. Maybe make some space for a small park of garden or fountain?

[solar turret]

@solar turret I dont now what look your going for, so this advice might not help, but I think adding some more greens would really help, all the pathing creates this really blocky look. Maybe make some space for a small park of garden or fountain?
@stoic knoll thanks I agree. More looking to change up locations of buildings it just doesn't floww

[stoic knoll]

@lyric hollow maybe use a second account to make a diner or a hotel? Also a designated area for star gazing or decorate existing places you already have??

[versed wadi]

I used a second account to make a pub. It ended up being hella expensive but worth it 🙂

[stoic knoll]

@solar turret I dont think putting the ables next to the museum works very well depending on how you decorated the museum entrance, and if you are going to make nooks and ables parallel, make the space more even?

[woven drift]

its def worth using a 2nd account. I'm dumping all the wedding items in my 2nd house haha.

[cold spoke]

that pub is so cute

[royal oak]

@versed wadi wowwww the creativity ohmygod

[dapper wyvern]

Pls I need a diner place pls

[solar turret]

@solar turret I dont think putting the ables next to the museum works very well depending on how you decorated the museum entrance, and if you are going to make nooks and ables parallel, make the space more even?
@stoic knoll yeah I had them elsewhere but just dumped them out of the way. Not looking for them to stay where they are I kinda need a new idea idk

[stoic knoll]

@woven drift @versed wadi I made a nooks cranny to where I sell a bunch of extra junk I have, ended up paying for itself, Im working on making a cherry diner and then a sea side hotel next to the airport

[cold spoke]

currently working on my lil house / town area, its still a wip but im proud of how it came out so far

[versed wadi]

@cold spoke that looks awesome!

[cold spoke]

tysm !!

[stoic knoll]

@cold spoke suuuuppppeerrrr cute! just a bit of criticism, maybe change out the bridge?

[sullen tusk]

feeling pretty good about my entrance now

[silent totem]

ooh

[cold spoke]

@stoic knoll i thought about it too but idk what other bridge would fit ): plus my entire town uses only brick inclines + bridges so it feels awk to have 1 place look diff

[versed wadi]

The second house as a shop or something gives you an indoor space to really play with

[silent totem]

That’s hella cool

[stoic knoll]

super cute!

[dapper wyvern]

I want to visit someone for ideas begging

[woven drift]

I might open my gates in a few... my 5 star island is still a wip tho

[ionic yew]

what do you guys think of my map? (WIP)

[versed wadi]

Which bridge would you change? It think it looks perfect, Very euro chic

[odd kestrel]

Hey guys. I recently had Apollo move in, but I'm not exactly sure how to decorate the exterior of his house. Can you recommended a few things/items?

[stoic knoll]

@cold spoke I think a stone bridge would look very nice in that area. It matches your gray accents and I dont think it strays too far from brick, plus the area seems a bit closed off with all the terriforming, so I dont think ti'll be too noticeable. But go with you gut!

[woven drift]

hmm I think the brick bridge looks better with the aesthetic they're going for. Its angular unlike the stone bridge and it fits the tiny town aesthetic

[dim grotto]

Any ideas on what to do for my Japanese city entrance? (These 2 squares on the sides)

[ebon bough]

@odd kestrel i put a couple birdcages outside his house and a dartboard when i had him lol

[solar turret]

Ok tough question.. I want to line the museum up perfectly with Residential Services so the little circles on the map are perfectly in line. How do I ensure that happens?

[granite pebble]

omg your guys islands are beautiful does anyone mind if i come for inspo

[granite glade]

@ebon bough ur island sucks kid you robbed me for 300000 NMT

[lunar leaf]

@solar turret i was trying to do that but the resident services rooftop clock is 2x1 and the museum entrance is 3x1 so I gave up and make it like in the center od the map

It just looked awfull for me

[solar turret]

@solar turret i was trying to do that but the resident services rooftop clock is 2x1 and the museum entrance is 3x1 so I gave up and make it like in the center od the map
@lunar leaf I mean the map circles. I want them to be horizontally in line

[woven drift]

you mean the icons?

[solar turret]

Yeah the icons at the same latitude

[woven drift]

smth like how i have my shops lined up? idk I just lined the building up I didn't even measure lol

[solar turret]

Yes like that but idk how to align with Residential Services. Is it that the back of your Ables lines up with the very end of res service building? Or with the last row of brick?

[woven drift]

Its lined with the building not the plaza

I eyeballed it lol

[solar turret]

So if you walk straight from the first spot behind Ables, you are behind res services as well

[woven drift]

yup smth like that 🙂

[solar turret]

I can't eyeball it because they'll be on opposite sides of the island. I need to measure and I don't wanna waste a day

[woven drift]

i'm sure measuring with holes will work fine?

[solar turret]

I don't know where to count from though lol. For the purpose of the circles

[woven drift]

sorry i'm not much help. I eyeballed everything and it became like this unintentionally 😓

[solar turret]

It's ok im just trying to figure. Does your door to Ables line up with your door to Res? So if I just stay in that same line and turn North and build I should be good?

[versed wadi]

@solar turret you could make a path across the island to help level them. But I think you’ve got a process of trial and error ahead of you 😬

[woven drift]

maybe if you can find the center of resident service building, it can help determine where to center ur museum?

[solar turret]

I just don't know how it the circle icon works, like if it's the front/back/center of the building and if that's also the same for RS

I'm going for it lol we'll see 🤷‍♂️ I don't really TT so I do have a journey ahead

[woven drift]

its pretty loose I think. my nook's and able's aren't perfectly lined up in game but their icons are perfectly lined up on the map

[proud crystal]

Does anybody have some beach inspiration? My beaches are deserted and I need to decorate them

[versed wadi]

Nooks is 7x4, Able’s is 5 x4

[woven drift]

This is how they’re lined up

[versed wadi]

So you need to allow an extra square to get the icons to line up

[solar turret]

My orchards are those rectangles on the right - Would they look better stacked in one column of 5 going up the side, or as-is?

[cyan silo]

I think that current state is nice

I need opinions on my current layout. It's empty spaces everywhere and i'm still trying to breed certain flowers for decorations.

Should I move the general store by the orchard area

[solar turret]

I'd keep the shops nearer to the Plaza and move the museum maybe

[dim grotto]

Any ideas on what to do for my Japanese city entrance? (These 2 squares on the sides)

[woven drift]

jpn cities have a lot of vending machines 🙂 maybe a bus stop? a fountain? idk

[cyan silo]

The museum I plan to put where the flowers are behind the orchard and use some fossils as direction

[timid sleet]

@proud crystal this is one of my beaches

[woven drift]

Does anybody have some beach inspiration? My beaches are deserted and I need to decorate them
@proud crystal can make a beach bar!

island tours on youtube? idk haha

[autumn goblet]

Yup going through that and reddit. Was wondering if there were any sites dedicated to it.

[woven drift]

you can also just look at images on this channel

[river knot]

[lone pecan]

[dense sluice]

It's gorgeous!

[versed wadi]

@deep spear you can definitely make a similar one on land, inspiration not imitation will get you an island unique to you 🙂

[woven drift]

nice~

[restive tangle]

So i been trying to redo the left side of my map to make it look better, first is the original middle is the plan and third is the current map (squares are where houses will go). Is there anything that looks strange or anything i should change? In particular the bottom left looks kinda strange...

[deep spear]

do you have double south

[dense sluice]

Is it missing anything? It's a little honey farm~

[woven drift]

I think this area on my island is laggy...but I really like how its turning out

[versed wadi]

I have double south yeah

[deep spear]

yeah you have a similar map to mines

[heavy summit]

I dont have double south but have u ever thought of just not having rivers lol

Alot of peoples islands are so cluttered that u cant even fish in the rivers anyways

[fathom grove]

weird question but does anyone have meow, the robot cat on their island? and also an area dedicated to her?

@west summit

dang XD

@fathom grove she's not in the game.

@woven drift dang, REALLY? must've been a rumor then that she got put in new horizons.

[obtuse plover]

@glossy abyss really cute! the only criticisms i have is that it looks a little empty in the back from that angle, but that may just be the photo.

[cinder stag]

Finally started decorating my beach area :v

[deep spear]

i wasnt worried about having rivers just dealing with different river mouths

[glossy abyss]

@fathom grove ah it looks like this !

[fathom grove]

@glossy abyss oh, then that looks great! maybe you could add a touch of yellow windflowers to spice it up a little! other than that, i love it.

@neat isle

[brittle isle]

k so im not rlly a big fan of the left side of my island, so i was thinking about making it mainly flat and having cliffs in the form of clouds bring in some dimension? it'd look something like this. (second picture is further down!)

[woven drift]

Ignore the chair lol

[brittle isle]

k second try: it'd look something like this. yay or nay?

[woven drift]

That's really cool, but tbh I'm not really getting cloud vibes haha

[rough finch]

@woven drift if you're using the chair for just a way to sit on while welcoming visitors, maybe you'd like to replace it with a stone stool instead

[brittle isle]

ajsdhj yes tru im not rlly the best artist </3 i'll probably work it out further in game to have it look more like a cloud

[woven drift]

@rough finch nope I just left it there... removing it soon lol

[severe cosmos]

Ok imma ask again cuz it got flooded before, i had this annoying area near the beach and i came up with the idea to make a painting area. Does it look nice? And any criticisms u wanna give?

[woven drift]

@brittle isle haha its fine, i'm sur eyou'll work smth out 🙂

[severe cosmos]

I know the wedding table probably doesnt really fit and so does anyone have any suggestion on how to fill that area?

[restive tangle]

@brittle isle I think it looks cool :O I'd probably just add another cloud somewhere instead of just having one?

[woven drift]

@severe cosmos nice, but seeing all the painting spots lined up in a straight line feels a bit stale imo. are you going for a painting class vibe or?

[severe cosmos]

@woven drift not really, just an area where you can paint

[brittle isle]

@restive tangle aa yes thats the plan ! ^^ ill probably spread them out a lot on the left side of the island

[digital pendant]

can i see someone meteor shower area

[severe cosmos]

I understand it can feel stale but i just dont really have much space to work with, also im going for kind of a “neat looking” vibe so i think it fits that, tho i appreciate the criticism. Anything i should replace tho, in your opinion?

[rich tree]

@brittle isle that is freaking gorgeous my god

[woven drift]

@severe cosmos oh right now feels kinda like a class since they're lined up like that. you don't need a lot of space for it imo

[brittle isle]

@brittle isle that is freaking gorgeous my god
@rich tree D: u flatter me too much pls </333

[severe cosmos]

I see, so should i add anything to make it look like a class?

[rich tree]

@brittle isle that’s honestly one of the best island maps I’ve seen so far 🥺 you should be proud!

[severe cosmos]

I have this idea where i use like a teachers desk and then a genuine painting and all of those that are lined up are the fake version

[woven drift]

This is my little painting area. (You don’t need the gnomes lol my island is just lowkey gnome themed rn)

[scenic talon]

How u get the plaza or airport to a diff spot? Bec my plaza in the way, and I see others having it diff

[severe cosmos]

Does the idea i just stated sound fine gouka?

[woven drift]

ahh so it is a class..? I'm confused lol go for it 🙂

[severe cosmos]

Im tryna be flexible with it, if you say it looks better as a class then i wanna try that

[barren ridge]

Chilling at the sushi place owned by zucker ps.The koi fish is just for decoration 😔

[woven drift]

and gouka is my island not my name lol . Yeah a class sounds fun

[rich tree]

@severe cosmos for more space I’d move the painting area to the beach and decorate with some more shell furniture to make it look like aBeach side painting area! But it all depends on what theme you want!

[severe cosmos]

my bad the gouka is the first thing that jumped out to me

[brittle isle]

@brittle isle that’s honestly one of the best island maps I’ve seen so far 🥺 you should be proud!
@rich tree ah ty D: this means a lot </3 m gonna wreck like half of my island rn tho hh hope it'll end up looking better than it did before ^^

[severe cosmos]

@rich tree ill try that as well, ty for the idea :D

[rich tree]

Jesus I can’t type, but oh good luck I’m sure it’s gonna look awesome!

[timber shell]

needing ideas for locations for an italian-themed island

[lunar leaf]

@last fog same :/

[restive tangle]

So i been trying to redo the entire left half of my island (the squares are where houses will go), does anything look strange before i start adding and moving structures? The bottom left half is bothering me in particular...

[lunar leaf]

Epic

[woven drift]

I think it looks good, whats bothering you about the bottom left?

[lunar leaf]

I love how it looks

[restive tangle]

@woven drift I think it looks a little strange on the map lol, maybe it's just me? I wanted more terraforming to show on the map but there's not enough space there for a third level because of the houses, now i'm wondering if i should just scrap that part and keep it flat

[lunar leaf]

I think that clifs looks cool

[woven drift]

hmm I think it looks fine a on cliff? maybe space the houses apart there a bit more?

[restive tangle]

I'm also wondering if its a waste to use 2 inclines just to go up and down a short distance at that part

[runic beacon]

Hi, does anyone have any cool/ cute looking observatory section with Celeste diy furnitures ? I've absolutely no idea how to decorate mine and no idea how to place the galaxy themed items 😦 share w me ur creations

[last fog]

@restive tangle I think maybe why you’re feeling off about it is because I’m the map it looks barer then the rest due to less cliff. If you’ve got lots of decorations around tho it’ll look fine in person.

[lunar leaf]

Maybe just 1 incline and a bridge?

[woven drift]

I think 1 incline is enough

my museum had 4 inclines dedicated to it and it was not worth it. scraped that idea immediately lol

[scenic talon]

Is it possible to move plaza or airport?

[lunar leaf]

@scenic talon no

[last fog]

Unfortunately no 😔

[runic beacon]

@scenic talon nope

[restive tangle]

Hmm ok, i'll move the land around a bit so i can change it to only 1 incline there.. I think i'll just leave that weird area for later and do the rest HAHAH but yes hahaha maybe it just looks weird to me since it's bare, eventually placing paths on it might make it look ok to me

[runic beacon]

Anyone ?? With the Celeste diy items, how do y'all decorate ur island with it ?

[woven drift]

i'm sure it'll look fine 🙂 the map can be deceiving

[restive tangle]

@woven drift My map used to look like this with 3 inclines just for the top left, i found it to be such a waste and i'd already hit 7 inclines at that point so i've just redone the entire area so that only 1 incline is needed to get around there...

[woven drift]

oooh I see. my houses look kinda gross on my map. But they look fine when you walk in the housing areas. So I've learned not to really care for the map anymore haha

[lunar leaf]

Ugh I just want too be good at terraforming

[restive tangle]

@woven drift Ahhh hahaha makes sense, idk why I care about it so much lol maybe it's cos its just there at the bottom all the time, or maybe cos i keep seeing pretty maps like @brittle isle

[woven drift]

with practice you will be 🙂

[lunar leaf]

I dont think so xddd

[woven drift]

I was so intimidated by terraforming when I saw the trailers and other ppl doing it before me. But with time I got comfortable and used to it.

[restive tangle]

@lunar leaf Ahahaha i think practice makes perfect, if i show you how my island has changed over time you'll see how i slowly get better... or at least i think it got better lol

[scenic talon]

I see people with airport on bottom left corner , idk how to do that :o

[restive tangle]

@scenic talon They chose an island layout with it there when they started the game

[scenic talon]

I thought everyone had the same layout

[lunar leaf]

@scenic talon they island were just like that / hacking

[woven drift]

ahh I'm an artist, so I just learn to stop comparing myself with others 🙂 so don't worry about it... your map looks pretty good! @restive tangle

[restive tangle]

@scenic talon No hahaha, when you're given the options at the start there are quite a few that the game has as the defaults, you're only given 4 of them

[autumn parrot]

i actually despise how my island looks like, my streetlamps are green but i made the mistake of going with white and now i wanna change my whole island and make it mainly cedar and dark, ominous nature ,,,

[scenic talon]

Ic , ty for the info

[restive tangle]

@woven drift Ahahaha i'm an artist too ^^ In the end you just gotta keep practicing till you get to the point where you're happy with what you have and take all those other amazing artists out there for inspo :D

[autumn parrot]

i desperately need help :( p l e a s e someone who's good with concepting dm me so we can like trace areas on the map or smth i just wanna not hate my island :''(

[summer fjord]

Seriously dunno what I’m doing sometimes on my island n just go with it

[woven drift]

I find doing sections instead of the whole island at once helps me. I had/have no plan lmao

[autumn parrot]

same tbh i have a lovely flower garden and a nice tiny cafe but the rest is a me s s

[lunar leaf]

@woven drift im doing the same but now idk what to do with the water

[woven drift]

forever a work in progress. the grind never ends lol

[runic monolith]

i have a giant blank area on my island and i am very stuck on what i want to build, i sould love idea thank you!

[autumn parrot]

@runic monolith do you have a theme you're following?

[runic monolith]

@autumn parrot not really

[lunar leaf]

Lmao my island have no theme xdd
I need some help xD

[woven drift]

tbh I followed the natural shape of my rivers and just played around with them

[last jasper]

i just unlocked terrain tools and messed up BADLY lol. gonna try and fix it in happy home designer

[restive tangle]

@lunar leaf I usually just go with whatever for the terraforming, but this time when i terraformed my island i drew over a picture of my map to get a general idea with what to do (specifically because i was unsure about the river) the plan ended up looking like this

Of course there are some things that don't end up going as you planned but well at least the general idea is there

[lunar leaf]

@woven drift i destroyed my nature rivers xdd

[woven drift]

oof good luck haha I could never

[lunar leaf]

It was just a big 00f bc it was half nature half mess xD

[restive tangle]

@lunar leaf yeah hahaha i find that so hard @-@ even now my river still vaguely resembles the original

[last jasper]

i need so much advice, i’ve made a mess

i wanted to create the neighbourhood up top but it just didnt work

[lunar leaf]

00f

[vivid kraken]

i have 0 idea what i’m doing with my town aaaaaa

[lofty osprey]

@last jasper for your river, if U plan to have one, make it more of a clean edged river, same with the back of your island... Make it a huge block of terraformed land and then a smaller block on-top shshshdhshjd idk if this makes sense...

This was my og plan... This is what I mean by the back ahaha

[last jasper]

yeah i want a nice river and a better neighbourhood, i commited to the top neighbourhood way too early and messed stuff up

[violet gale]

So I have this very very neat pathway to this seated area, although the seated area itself looks trash. Any ideas?

[limber ginkgo]

Added Dobie to the shrine of villagers who have moved out 😭

[restive tangle]

@limber ginkgo I love this ahahaha.. now i'm tempted to do an area like that but i never got their posters or photos ): I'd put it in my graveyard area

[woven drift]

lol I craft a zen stone or western stone each time someone moves

[lofty osprey]

Lol same rip

[last jasper]

i have all my trees wiped out so i basically just have a blank canvas with my island

[lunar leaf]

@restive tangle when u r on harveys island theres a resident tab in Ur 'storage'
Just invite all of Ur villagers and Ull get their posters

[vivid kraken]

hi i am literally begging for design help,,,, i wanna go a bit more natural so not as many paths or blocky rivers but i’m very stuck :(( ALSO THE INAPPROPRIATE POND WAS NATURAL I DID NOT DO THAT

[restive tangle]

@lunar leaf Yeah hahaha i know now cos of the wedding event, but i was moving lots of people out before i found out about it and never got their posters ):

[lunar leaf]

@restive tangle 00f from villagers that moved out i need only poster of mitzi

[woven drift]

I wish nh had the dream suite... I would love for ppl to visit my island but half of the time my dodo doesn't work rip

[limber ginkgo]

I believe files related to dream suite have been datamined, would not be surprised if it was in the next roadmap video

[woven drift]

praying it comes soon

[wide oyster]

I’m just starting up really building my island so it’s kind of a mess but this is how I did my neighborhood at the back of my island for reference

[lunar leaf]

What is dream suite?

[woven drift]

it was a feature in new leaf. Where you can upload ur town in the dream suite. Other ppl can enter ur dream code and visit ur island in their dreams

[unique peak]

hello any neighbourhood inspo

[lunar leaf]

Omg its genius

[woven drift]

Hi guys can I please get some nature island inspos 😊

[lunar leaf]

I NEED IT

[woven drift]

they can do whatever on your island. But it won't mess up your actual island in anyway 🙂

[violet gale]

I feel like I saved it (scroll up for what it looked like before)

[woven drift]

looks cozy 🙂

[violet gale]

Doesn’t look too good with the camera but this looks better

[woven drift]

Done with my “lavender” field.... but of course last minute I decide I needed an extra row rip

[violet gale]

That looks really pretty!

[summer fjord]

@woven drift hmm good idea On lavender field 🤔 might do that idea as well

[woven drift]

thank you!

lowkey inspired by my cancelled trip to hokkaido japan lol

[summer fjord]

Aww that really sucked coz of that dumb virus

[restive tangle]

Would it be better to put a paper lantern or a normal lantern outside doms house? It's in a foresty area and i tend to use the paper ones, but i'm not too sure if i should put it here as well since his house isn't 'zen' looking

[woven drift]

i need a good idea for what to do with my empty space in between residents services and the museum

[restive tangle]

@woven drift You should send a picture of the area hahaha

[woven drift]

Anyone with Serb or marshal with decorated yards? Looking for inspiration!

[limber berry]

does anyone have any ideas for what i can put behind my resident services

[steep socket]

[halcyon aurora]

I’ve been kinda thinking of restarting my island lately, but I just want to have it as best I can before I reset so can somebody please check out my island and give me feedback?

[woven drift]

ahh I have dom too.. His house is near a zen bridge so i left a garden lantern .

[summer fjord]

@restive tangle the paper lantern is zen lookin

Garden lantern more of a European style

[woven drift]

how is the garden lantern euro lol. Feels pretty neutral to me ngl

[restive tangle]

@summer fjord Yeah hahaha, that's why i have it around majority of my island.. a little torn for Dom's house haha

[last jasper]

I finally came up with an island layout! what do you guys think? There's lot's of area's to build random stuff like parks, cafe's etc I think this is cool (:

[summer fjord]

Hmmm idk it just does I’m not feeling it in garden lantern plus that looks nice with gardens and mountains

[woven drift]

ahh thats what I did with my inclines at first for the museum. I personally don't recommend hahaha

[dapper wyvern]

i need help i have lot of area will pay big thing if u have idea one idea 2 nmt

[last jasper]

Why don't you recommend vivi?

[restive tangle]

@last jasper Personally i wouldn't waste so many inclines on just one area hahaha

[halcyon aurora]

Can someone please check out my island and give me advice on what I could do better? PLEASE, I’ll pay you for it

[woven drift]

yeah what @restive tangle said. and it limited the area for me. I removed two of the four inclines after lol

[dapper wyvern]

i will pay 10 nmt per design pm me

[lunar leaf]

My museum is just a flat area behind the resident services ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[last jasper]

but in general, the overall layout is nice isnt it? even tho its basic haha, cant do much on the website

[summer fjord]

Gosh the number of time I paid and destroyed incline and bridges hahaha 🙄

[woven drift]

haha looks fine to me i kindaaaa grouped my museum and resident area seperately like that too

[lunar leaf]

Im low on inclines xD

[restive tangle]

@summer fjord Yeah hahaha same, that's why now i just leave them blank until i'm REALLY sure i want a bridge/incline there god

[limber ginkgo]

Anyone have inspo for a bamboo forest?

[summer fjord]

@restive tangle that’s what I’m doing too lol

[restive tangle]

I'm not sure if anyone is interested lol but I actually put my museum right next to RS hahaha, looks like this

[lunar leaf]

There should be a limit like 10-15
Its super annoying

[halcyon aurora]

Gosh the number of time I paid and destroyed incline and bridges hahaha 🙄
@summer fjord Back when northern hemisphere players weren’t in shark season, I went to that time on my island and made my entry fee just a donation to my bridges and inclines, and was able to do nearly all of my bridges and inclines

[last jasper]

wait can you only have a certain amount if inclines?

[limber ginkgo]

8 inclines 8 bridges

[lunar leaf]

They r valuable xD

[limber ginkgo]

im at 8/8 on both :^)

[woven drift]

place wisely lol

[last jasper]

eh i have enough bells to mess around with that

[restive tangle]

@limber ginkgo I've just gone and redone over half my island because i hit the limit and wasn't happy about it T_T

[woven drift]

I'm so tempted to destroy one of my inclines again but its an expensive incline so i'm gonna leave it alone for now lol

[dapper wyvern]

i need inspo pm me for prize

[restive tangle]

@woven drift I destroyed 2 zen bridges recently... and i'm just going to replace them in slightly different positions lol my bank acc is crying

[summer fjord]

@halcyon aurora lol wat I do is when I tt a lot I make sure I plant the money tree. That’s how I paid mine

[last jasper]

im glad i have some sort of direction with my island now tho. i can see what i want it to look like

[sudden linden]

recently finished this area but i feel like its missing a little something? feedback is welcomed!

[woven drift]

@sudden linden it needs lighting!!

[summer fjord]

The wedding items doesn’t wow me for sum reason

[halcyon aurora]

Once again, can somebody please check out my island and give me advice for what i can do better? I can reward you for it, please come and do it, dm me for dodo code

[woven drift]

i think the wedding stuff looks fine 🙂

[sudden linden]

@sudden linden it needs lighting!!
@woven drift right! omg thank you for reminding me!

The wedding items doesn’t wow me for sum reason
@summer fjord I was waiting to be able to get my hands on some white table cloths but couldnt so I settled for wedding stuff/

[summer fjord]

It is fine. Just not gonna do the event and use it in my island. Doesn’t fit my theme

[woven drift]

I like the wedding tables cause of the roses lol

[summer fjord]

@summer fjord aye could of send u sum of that cloth table

I like the wedding tables cause of the roses lol
@woven drift We all have different likings 😜😘

[woven drift]

I just dislike the cute coloring of the wedding set haha

[limber ginkgo]

The fencing is nice

[restive tangle]

Is putting bamboo around the campsite area strange? It happens to be very close to a place i'm planning on putting bamboo...

[woven drift]

yep I've been using it instead of the rope fencing haha

hmm i don't think its strange to use bamboo.

[jolly quail]

@restive tangle in my opinion, doing things that aren't the norm can produce awesome results

[last jasper]

i gotta start terraforming now wow this is gonna take a WHILE

[summer fjord]

Oh it will n I’m still terraforming coz idk what I’m doing 😂

[jolly quail]

About 300 hours should do it @last jasper

[woven drift]

haha yep its a long process.. good luck and have fun~~

[dapper wyvern]

i have 800 large star pm me nmt

[woven drift]

@dapper wyvern ? why

[brittle isle]

any idea what i should do with the left river outlet ? before i redo my cliffs i want to figure that out but idk how to get it to look nice </3

[last jasper]

i love the layout i picked tho so this should be fun

[jolly quail]

@dapper wyvern bragging about duping items in the island layout chat, sweet dude

[dapper wyvern]

bro im tryna sell onluy

[brittle isle]

@dapper wyvern then do it in the right channels ????

[woven drift]

wrong channel

[lime prism]

@dapper wyvern #materials-and-tools

[dapper wyvern]

sry thx to u guys not the mean one

[last jasper]

can i just say tho, i love this community so much like acnh has the BEST community in gaming

[dapper wyvern]

but ill give some i need sdome idea for alot of spare space

[jolly quail]

@brittle isle sometimes a river outlet just never works out lol

[summer fjord]

@brittle isle wooow 😳

[brittle isle]

@jolly quail true lmao. i do want it to connect like i have it now but idk ill figure something out soon ig

[summer fjord]

Looks awesome! I’m jelly

[jolly quail]

You want the left one to connect to the right to the right river?

[brittle isle]

D: pls ajshjd im rlly picky tysm </3 i keep seeing pretty islands on here so now i wanna redo my cliffs

@jolly quail if it could work yes, but if not i might just have it connect to the entrance i’ll redo later hhh

[summer fjord]

DNT CHANGE A THING

[woven drift]

ooh I dig the cloud cliffs. Hope they work out. maybe have the left river curve along the cloud cliff?

[summer fjord]

But hey you do you

[brittle isle]

@summer fjord ajshjs i have a lot of weird cliffs that make my island feel really small so it might b my best solution </3

and :000 that’s a good idea @woven drift !! ty ill try n see how it looks in the planner

[woven drift]

can't wait to see how it turns out ^^

[versed wadi]

@brittle isle your map still blows my mind!

[summer fjord]

There’s a planner??? Where??? @brittle isle

[jolly quail]

Why do you want them to connect btw?

[sly dock]

There’s a planner??? Where??? @brittle isle
@summer fjord happy island designer

[summer fjord]

Is that an app?

[sly dock]

Is that an app?
@summer fjord website, just google it

[summer fjord]

Oki thank you!

[brittle isle]

@versed wadi sjhdjf i’d trade it all for being able to decorate as well as u !! pipwyn has to be one of the prettiest islands </3

@jolly quail aaa idk i guess since i kind of want it to look a lot like a swamp rn ? lmao. honestly idk how else to make the outlet look good besides turning it into an actual river

[sly dock]

jac the top left looks so cool nd i kinda wanna do it now but i dont wanna copy u :(

[jolly quail]

Well right now it looks like an actual river tho

[brittle isle]

@sly dock just take anything u like <3 this channel is for inspo n stuff so i don’t mind ^^

[sly dock]

my island id astronomy themed bc im the biggest astro nerd i know :( everyth is named after a constellation

[jolly quail]

@versed wadi can I see some screenshots of your island?

[modern ridge]

This is the lamest attempt at building a small workshop. Other than customizing the stall though, what else do you guys think I should do or add?

[brittle isle]

@jolly quail tru ^^ i’ll try n see if i can connect it and otherwise i don’t mind

@sly dock n :000 that sounds so cool ! i bet ur island is so pretty <3

[modern marsh]

@runic beacon

[sly dock]

AH ive actuslky redone my island a few times heheh... nd im sbt to do it again, everything is too spaced out

[versed wadi]

@jolly quail there’s a load of screenshots on http://pipwyn.com

[jolly quail]

Kk

[sly dock]

i might get another switch to donit again bc i love itttt

[jolly quail]

@versed wadi awesome website

[woven drift]

omg wow! you made a website for you island 😯

[versed wadi]

Yeah, I needed to learn how to use Squarespace for work so I figured it would be a fun little project

[knotty quartz]

any inspo for house exteriors / garden space outside house?

[jolly quail]

So btw, I've had this goal of having a YouTuber tour my island, I don't want to release it yet. Am I crazy? I just have so many custom designs and never before seen stuff and I want the reveal to be exciting. It's like setting off a huge firework by myself, noones around to see it

[woven drift]

Does anyone have any entrances where you have resident services really close? Cause I’m stumped on ideas bc everything I wanna do I don’t have enough space for

[limber ginkgo]

@woven drift

[versed wadi]

@jolly quail Not all, but a lot of the YouTubers use Twitter and Reddit to find stuff that goes viral

So it might be worth just promoting a few small areas of your island to gain interest

[modern ridge]

I feel your struggle @woven drift

[jolly quail]

I've contacted many of them. There must be a long line. Oh

[fleet karma]

My residents is kinda close lol

[versed wadi]

Chase crossing mentioned on stream last night that the submissions Q was 900 entries long

[woven drift]

I barely have any space

[fleet karma]

That sucks

[woven drift]

I’d reset my island but I love my villagers

[jolly quail]

Damn... It's a shame @versed wadi cause honestly my entire island is shock value, lemme show you and tell me what you think

[fleet karma]

Maybe buy amiibo cards or make your own idk

[jolly quail]

This is a tiny beach spot, one sec taking a pic

[woven drift]

I already have made my own but I have Sherb and Judy so I can’t

[fleet karma]

Rip

[woven drift]

noo don't reset just because the entrance is close. play around with tress cliffs and or fencing I'm sure you'll find a solution

[gritty bluff]

How do u guys think? 👁️👄👁️

[restive tangle]

@gritty bluff Omg i love it it's so cutee

[chrome yacht]

Could anyone help me with what to do for the middle

[fleet karma]

Turnip garden?

[woven drift]

I might put trees and cliffs in front of it to make it seem like it’s not that close so you have to walk a little bit to get to it

[fathom nest]

hi!! i need help w my map, i havethat one house i dont know where to put and i sorta dont like the two inclines at the back:// how do i fix it up?

[restive tangle]

Does anyone have a yard for lucky they're willing to share?

[limber ginkgo]

what lighting should I use on the outer perimeter of my market? i plan on breaking up the rope fencing every couple spaces for some lighting. the in-market lighting are tiki torches.

Does anyone have a yard for lucky they're willing to share?
@restive tangle

[pastel horizon]

Mini Garden with my bro T at the back 😋

[restive tangle]

@limber ginkgo I'd probably just use tiki torches on the outside too... they match the rope fencing and i'm having trouble thinking of another lamp that fits the theme there

[alpine quartz]

Does anyone have a good enterance design

[limber ginkgo]

@limber ginkgo I'd probably just use tiki torches on the outside too... they match the rope fencing and i'm having trouble thinking of another lamp that fits the theme there
@restive tangle ty I was thinking that too, I considered campfires but they looked weird by rope fencing

[woven drift]

maybe candles? @limber ginkgo

[mental ibex]

does anyone have any idea on how to decorate the inner area

[limber ginkgo]

maybe bikes

[mental ibex]

for the boardwalk i’ve got a bunch of ideas like stalls and benches and palm trees but i’m just not sure how i’d decorate the area south of the town hall

[inner bough]

Anyone have any campsite ideas?

[limber ginkgo]

mics and music players would be a good idea, villagers are more likely to start spontaneously singing

[mental ibex]

i thought this one seemed cool @inner bough

[brittle isle]

it's kind of tight but would this work ? or does connecting it look to forced

[woven drift]

oooooh so good

[mental ibex]

@limber ginkgo what flooring should i use then? like, once i go through the gates. also should i continue using iron fencing or should i swap? *also the town hall is slightly asymmetrical to the airport so 😔

@brittle isle i think it’d definitely work! it looks super pretty too

[brittle isle]

aa ty ty <3 in game it'll hopefully look more apart of the main river to me ^^ ig ill be spending a few hours flattening the other cliffs on my island rn yUCK

[fathom nest]

which incline do i get rid of ://

[wooden sluice]

@inner bough

[woven drift]

one of the ones in the back?

[fathom nest]

@woven drift id like to be able to access those areas tho so what would you suggest?

[alpine cape]

@brittle isle A lot of areas that you can't actually do in the game. You need at least 1 full tile between every half tile (like the lowest point of the island in this screencap), while hard points like the lower right and the left side of the island are impossible

[woven drift]

What’s a good flower colour scheme to use?, I’m thinking blue and white but idk

[mental ibex]

try searching up color schemes online! then you could decide what colors to use for flowers and have some accents by placing colored furniture

[brittle isle]

@brittle isle A lot of areas that you can't actually do in the game. You need at least 1 full tile between every half tile (like the lowest point of the island in this screencap), while hard points like the lower right and the left side of the island are impossible
@alpine cape yup i know ^^ it'll look different on the map in game as well it's just a rough idea of how i want things to look before i actually flatten my island

[woven drift]

@fathom nest ? you don't need 2 tho right?

[fathom nest]

@woven drift one leads to the private beach and one leads to the other beach of my island though if those are the ones youre talking about

[wooden sluice]

Today’s project, in front of my campus. Looks cute but always open for suggestions

[woven drift]

I really wish there were lighter blue flowers, like ones that are the same Shade as Sherb

[slender tulip]

hello! does anyone have any better ideas for some sort of path to use by my entrance? custom ideas are welcome too 😧

[restive tangle]

@woven drift Putting the pink hyacinths outside sherbs house would compliment it nicely, both pastel

@slender tulip I have an entrace pretty similar to yours i think :O It looks like this

[woven drift]

I’m gonna scream if my joycon drifts one more time

[fathom nest]

still not too sure which incline to get rid of ://

[lofty osprey]

@slender tulip I kinda like that path tho, it fits those lanterns and the kinda of zen vibe

[restive tangle]

@woven drift Lmaooo i had this issue, straight up bought new controllers since it was driving me mad

[woven drift]

Both of my left ones drift badly

[slender tulip]

@restive tangle :0 looks cool!!

[woven drift]

And I now regret all that shiny breeding back in January

[slender tulip]

@lofty osprey that’s true! but i have no idea how to make it fit nicely with my bridge haha

[restive tangle]

@slender tulip Hahaha thanks ^^" Tbh it's just a cheap ripoff version of @limber ginkgo 's entrance

@slender tulip You could remove the water to the left and do 2 diagonal paths from the entrance to the bridge

[lofty osprey]

@slender tulip maybe like a dirt path with overlays??

[versed wadi]

@jolly quail sorry I missed it. Was AFK

[lofty osprey]

Hmm although I'd prefer the path U already have @slender tulip

I think it looks fine with the zen bridge~~ @slender tulip

[grizzled thorn]

i'm about to fucking uh. start designing my island so inspiration would be nice? i kinda want my island to look natural but cozy

[versed wadi]

@slender tulip I use little circles to make it look more natural

[slender tulip]

ohh hmm okay thanks all! will take everything into consideration haha

[brittle isle]

i gave up on trying to use the paths the game gives us </3 ill just be using the dirt path that takes up 9 spaces

[lofty osprey]

Lol same

I used them a bit for like the shopping areas but other than that almost all of my paths are dirt

[lofty osprey]

Ooo pretty✨✨

[brittle isle]

um do you need to use inclines on ur island to get a 5* island

[steep rose]

Everyone : builds pretty heart islands
Me:

[lofty osprey]

@brittle isle probably

[restive tangle]

@brittle isle I know that bridges and inclines do add quite a few points for each added, but i think you might be able to compensate for those it might just take a lot of effort

[versed wadi]

@woven drift which villages house is that? I’ve done something similar for Eric 🙂

[brittle isle]

i have come to the realisation that i probably don't have any use for inclines w the cliffs im planning to use D:

[woven drift]

@versed wadi it’s beau’s haha

[versed wadi]

@brittle isle can I take two of yours please?

[lofty osprey]

@brittle isle oof lol Ik what Ur talking bout maybe just include like a small cliff area for like a small library or smth... Idk ahaha

[brittle isle]

@restive tangle ugh </3 ill probably try n see how i can incorporate them lmaoao

@versed wadi take them omg

[versed wadi]

If I had 2 more inclines I could make a perfect loop around my island

[restive tangle]

@versed wadi Mood, instead i've just accepted the fact that i'll have to do some backtracking

[lofty osprey]

They should give us more includes and bridges ;---;

Atleast like 10 or 12

[lunar leaf]

Yup

[lofty osprey]

Ooo the aesthetics✨✨

[woven drift]

Fang and beau. I’ll be adding a farm further down the path

[lofty osprey]

Ooo that's nicceee

[woven drift]

wow its so clean~ my residential area is chaotic in comparison haha

[lunar leaf]

Is there someone with this layout? I need some inspo xD

[small sluice]

Hey guys, can I see some of your house exteriors?

[woven drift]

Thanks for appreciating my hard work guys

[lofty osprey]

@woven drift I guess I mean it looks nice but it's just weirdly uncomfortablly cramped in my opinion

[limber ginkgo]

[wanton comet]

[ashen olive]

I want to have a fence around both houses but I want to have a different fence how should I place it so it doesn’t look weird or should I have the same fence for both houses?

[versed wadi]

[lofty osprey]

Hi! does anyone have a "digsite" like area in their island. I need some pointers. thanks

[woven drift]

@lofty osprey ah u like to be free that’s no wrong at all

@versed wadi omg that’s so refreshingly good

how can i improve my entrance?

[chrome yacht]

HI does anyone have any ideas for the middle part of my design?

@woven drift Maybe more flowers and cute custom paths

[woven drift]

okay thanks!

[thin nova]

@woven drift maybe add small things like those wood fencing or bushes and hedges, I put weeds around my island and put clear designs around it so it didn't spread too for greenery. :)

[lofty osprey]

Also @woven drift maybe fences and such??

[woven drift]

where can i put fences?

[thin nova]

On the side and scatter them maybe?

Put them between flowers and bushes

[woven drift]

okay thank you

[gritty comet]

Hey can anyone help me? I started making a tropical themed island but now I’m kind of thinking I should’ve done an overgrown foresty type one, but I’m already nearly done with my tropical theme. Anyone know what I should do? Thanks

[limber ginkgo]

I'd say go ahead and start converting it

that's just me though, I like having a lot of things on my to-do list lmao

[gritty comet]

Okay thanks, I appreciate it

[woven drift]

you could always do part way tropical part way foresty? @gritty comet

[abstract chasm]

Just finished my entrance!

[pure glacier]

@abstract chasm that looks so good!!!🥰

[molten swallow]

what should this area in front of my RS be? im thinking maybe a small smoothie bar or a little clothing shop showing of my island’s merch or something idk ahah

[ocean raft]

@molten swallow Both are really good ideas, maybe you can incoporate them

[molten swallow]

@ocean raft good idea! thank you!

[fierce trench]

LOOKING FOR help with happy island designer, i'll pay in bells or nmt!! (i can recreate my island, i cant draw)

[eternal laurel]

The Nova lights there y/n?

Is this also a good entrance for the library? Because it is not directly in line with the inlcine

[molten swallow]

quick little walk of a part of my island that is not done yet but im getting there

[eternal laurel]

Got this in front of the library

Hi Juice, that is really nice work

[lucid galleon]

Finally made a Japanese garden! Why? Because it's fun!

[tired spruce]

Just finished this tiki bar

[eternal laurel]

It's beautiful duck

[lucid galleon]

thx!

[woven drift]

everyone’s island looks so good!!💌

[eternal laurel]

Can someone please help me with my library/entrance for library from the pics I just shared?

[woven drift]

LF ideas for my secret beach, I want to do it Redd-themed, but every idea is welcome

[restive tangle]

@eternal laurel I also had problems with my library entrance, let me get a picture of it for you

[half urchin]

@woven drift : I did mine like a pirate/bandit camp theme

[restive tangle]

@eternal laurel Not sure if this helps and I myself am not quite happy with it lol, but this entrance is a lot better than it was previously

[vague idol]

does anyone have the username for the person who makes flower combination guides?

[restive tangle]

@eternal laurel Since your incline doesn't line up with the entrance, i'd probably put some bookshelves in between to force the person to walk around, that way it's not as obvious

[west parrot]

rip roald and ankha my old villagers

[lunar leaf]

Im trying to make my island more terraformed
First I surrounded the museum area with water
Is this a good idea?

[woven drift]

I want to have a brown, white and sorta pink feel to my island. As a cramped village but nice and aesthetic but I don’t really have any furniture, what do I do?
