Lol ty! I wish we had seagull models or something @weak wedge lol
okay! thank you all for your input ^^ i’ll probably just use the spiky fences for my turnip farm area
@storm bluff yeah but I wanna put them all on a second level but I don’t have enough stairs :/
@sage fulcrum what does your map look like?
@woven drift and the river opening is like blocked by the buildings so now I’m lost : (
@sage fulcrum id personally plan out your waterways first and then start moving your houses. you can make the left river mouth turn upwards and build a pond/waterfall area there in the top left
@storm bluff yeah but every time I plan I always just not follow it
@sage fulcrum well you have lots of space to work with! nd the river way is no problem, maybe make it an illusion that it’s cutting through buildings nd stuff? or move your ables:(
I have this big area and my original idea was like a little hangout spot, but turns out it’s too big and it looks awkward if I have everything there. I have a city type theme, so I’m trying my best to give it that... city feel lmao. What could I make it? (I just realized how messy my island looks on the map I-)
@woven drift but If I move my stores idk where to put them and how I want to put the houses doesn’t even look good in my mind
What do i put in between the stairs
@sage fulcrum have you tried using island planner programs like happy island designer?
I tried making my rivers and ponds fun and plentiful. It’s still an open concept. I don’t have roads or pathways, but I have custom rock paths that don’t show up on the map.
@storm bluff yes many times and I always not follow the plan 😑
@sage fulcrum alternatively, have you tried just terraforming areas and building for fun with no plan? its really hard to give you advice when you dont really know what you want to do
The river is really bothering me
This tbh
@woven drift gas station, shopping center (mall? you can use stalls nd all that), park
Paths like this.
@storm bluff I do but now when I have to do the villager homes it never turns out good and I don’t want to spend more bells every time changing :/
What do i put in between stairs
@sage fulcrum so what is it that you Do want to do? so far you've only shared what you dont like and what youre having problems with
@indigo pulsar not sure, try looking on nook.exchange, nookazon (trading sites) and browse through some items!
@storm bluff put my villager homes somewhere else
@indigo pulsar if you put something there wont it be hard to get from one side to the other? youd be blocking the pathway right?
True
@sage fulcrum no what im asking is what else do you have planned for your island that you're definitely sure you want to do? do you have a theme or an overall vibe youre trying to go for?
@storm bluff I’m doing cottagecore and fairy core
@sage fulcrum okay id reference past cottagecore maps to see how other people have laid things out, and take inspiration from that
I did, but it doesn’t fit into my map since my airport is really close to the left and the rivers are a big problem
What do i put in between stairs
@indigo pulsar stepping stones or ground flower designs or maybe floor lights
@sage fulcrum why are the rivers a big problem?
@storm bluff I need rivers but I can’t use that opening which triggers me
I made a pond out of one river mouth
@sage fulcrum ~~Can you just move the buildings to the left side of your island? That will free up your river opening and give you room for villager homes on the left ETA ~~oh I see your resident services is there, my bad
You could have it lead to a waterfall
@sage fulcrum it's totally possible to use those openings! try not to overthink it, and also try to use past maps as references rather than dismissing them just because your resident services and airport are in a different place. i understand why it could be frustrating
How Does Rosies Place Look? Yes @clever plover Did This For Me
@woven drift oh that's a great use for the tree standees!
@sage fulcrum this is my map, my rivers dont connect into one river and i just terraformed ponds/waterfalls instead. you can work around it.
I don’t have past maps this is my first map : (
@sage fulcrum im talking about other people's maps~ by "past" i mean maps that people have previously posted
Wow the rivers look so natural!
@storm bluff yeah but how can I make that river mouth look more natural since it’s blocked by my buildings because it’s just there i don’t know where it can go or lead into
@sage fulcrum i suggested this before but curve it upwards into the space at your top left. then you can build a pond or a waterfall and even put 1-2 houses there
@storm bluff oh fr what if I put my campsite there would it be nice :>
bruh you save my life sis thank you time to build tytytyy girl you are a hero 👏
may!'s Island = Beauty
that is FACTS
does anybody have entrance ideas?? :)
I’m jealous of her island : , )
Where should I put my museum tho, should I put it where the villager homes are?
@storm bluff may i visit your island? i’d love to get some inspo ^^
@marsh harness im redoing a few areas so its super wip right now :/ maybe some other time? just send me a dm
np! ^^
here is luckys house!
i need opinions about color palettes with flowers. do you think white, pink, and yellow would be too overbearing? should i just stick with two colors? >.<
@marsh harness I think that combo sounds lovely!
I did the same. Museum on one side, villagers on the opposite
@spark plover I am jealous why is everyone’s villager homes so pretty 
tysm!
Mine is pretty bad, I redecorated my island 5 times so far, so It's just a mess...
(I also flattened my island when I first got the terraforming tool, and regret it)
Lucky is a mummy dog, correct?
where do people get the snapping turtles?
You place them @spark plover they just hang out lol
@wintry flume heres mine
When do mushrooms appear for Northern Hemisphere?!
omg i love the mushrooms
@amber moon november and october i think xD
you can tt to November i think to get them as well
Ah man, lol. I can wait I suppose lol! I just love those lights
I think its the opposite or the cherry blossom
@amber moon same
I bought the diy and some schrooms
I only like to TT 1-2 days ahead. I’m not a super user of TT 😂
they also have mush parasols which are very pretty
@blissful remnant the oposite of cherry blossom is maple leaf event
I think xD
i don’t get why some people hate on time travelers
Oh I don’t! Lol I TT too!
But I don’t go so far that it’s a new season or anything. Lol 😂 I just TT to move a villager in earlier than waiting
yeah exactly i tt myself
Does anyone know if the game will let me place two bridges like this or will it tell me they’re too close or something?
Like im not using tt but i think its the other way that people enjoy playing the game ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i need to tt to fall to get more mushrooms for the fall diys i have
I bought like 40skinnies here for nice prices like a month ago
i believe November
Does anyone mind showing pics of how they’ve decorated the outside of their resident services?? Not gonna copy just need inspo! Thank you : )
Im thinking about moving all the buildings to the beaches of my island so I can work on my island cus I hate where everything is placed is it a good idea
Pics/ideas for Diana’s yard. I want to put a bookcase but still don’t have one yet
yeah! @woven drift i did the same thing for my villager houses
@gray spruce mine is plain lol
@gray spruce heres my resident services! shops are to the left of the plaza
@amber moon oh it’s super pretty tho! Thank you : )
Thanks @spark plover Imma go do it
That’s gorgeous @storm bluff
@gray spruce
can somebody give me advice on how to make my island prettier 🙂
I made my “moon cafe”
Anybody have ideas for an art walk or a beach club on both sides of my beaches?
anybody have a good clover custom design pattern? ^^
@short flare @storm bluff wow they’re both really beautiful! Thank you for being so helpful : )
How do you guys make such good islands
@indigo pulsar right. I’m so jealous
My village is kinda random. They don’t have yards, but they have outdoor items lol
i just got terraforming and im going for a cottage core-forest kinda vibe. any tips ?
woooowwowow that’s so pretty
Also, I became obsessed with heart ponds ❤️
Can someone show me there able sisters area
noice
@gray spruce here’s my resident services area!
Cannot find where my rock spawned today... can anyone come help me look? 
could someone with a natural island send me a picture of their paths?
This fine mine and i think im gonna have a incline on the other side of the bridge and then have the able sister go up it so the shop has a view what do you guys think
@spice halo that’s so beautiful! thank you : )
My attempt at a “natural island” 🤣🤣
Can anyone send me a picture of their shopping district? i've been having trouble with ideas
@molten dirge I made my own small shops
Flora finished unpacking today and I realized I forgot to show her finished yard!
@brazen plinth omg so cute
Do this is the third (?) Time ive re done my entrance. Thoughts? Advice?
Hi! I would really like to decorate my island, but I don’t know where to start! Thinking of maybe like natural and pretty? And some star themed things too! Would love any tips and ideas, thanks! 💖
@wispy estuary I think it’s super pretty! : )
Ty n.n
I think I've gotten to that point where everything looks kinda ugly lol, constantly second guessing things
@woven drift if u have over 149 weeds yes, but otherwise nu
how do u know the calculation?
What should I put here? Zen area to left, farm above, campsite below, river to right
There a youtube video where someone did a v tedious process,, idk what its called
@wispy estuary same lol I’m struggling 🥺 that part of your island is gorgeous at least!
@silver holly Maybe a picnic area? :0c Your island sounds so wonderful!

@hollow peak I have a picnic area...😁
@silver holly what abt a riverside cafe?
Or art gallery
@spark plover have a cafe but not next to a river
@spark plover here's the video :^0 b sure to give this guy sum love https://youtu.be/f0f-WZrp_6E
The island rating system in Animal Crossing New Horizons is actually a lot more complicated than people think. While there are general numbers thrown around for what you need to increase your rating, people are still finding that they still can't get their island rating up eve...
Do you think this looks good?
@woven drift tagged in wrong post sorry!
I'm permanently at 4 star cause I'm not gonna chop my trees
Do you think this looks good?
@shrewd jay i like the use of the whites! I like it!
woooowwowow that’s so pretty
@short flare tysm!
How do I get to 3 stars
I have close to 300 trees haha. Isabelle is not pleased
wait having lots of trees affect ur rating?
@robust vessel i planted alot of flowers
What do u think as idk really
yea haha i went down to 4 stars bc i have too many trees
Can I tour a cottage core island?
Monika thanks
Ye, at some point, I think 210 trees (?) Isabelle says the town is too rural
@valid wing tinylibrary is a YouTuber who tours lots of cottagecore islands! you could possibly find some inspo
I had 3 stars, but 1 has been taken away after all my hard work , I didn’t even change anything
@spark plover oh thanks! I’ll look her up 😁
yw!
Hi! what paths should i use for my natural island? or should i just do a dirt path all the way
what could i add to my beach bar?🥺💗
I’m so angry
Y
That beach bar is dope
@inland shoal not exactly a beach bar but maybe some item inspo?
oo ty! @wispy estuary
@merry rune i join the chill club
What is cottage core?
does anyone have inspo for like houses on the beach? i have coco and plan on her living near the beach but i have no clue what to put around her house
Watermelon ball?! What is that?!? 😍
Anyone know of a good floor path that would match my museum area? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/682137382795083816/723654108145516596/104100688_10157887517646443_3917757866472941901_o.png?width=717&height=403
@amber moon it’s a beach ball but customized i think
@spark plover Shep runs a little surf shack on one of my beaches
Its actually a variation of the ball item :)

They work good for farms @amber moon
@amber moon I can let u cat the watermelon ball if youd like

No morbid at all, v sweet actually
No morbid at all, v sweet actually
@wispy estuary thank you! 😊
@quiet meteor my bf had one for his grandma, I don't have any pictures but he made a QR of a picture of her that he could place down by a western style stone and used a lot of her favorite color
I mean I have a shrine for shrek idk if that counts though
And it’s spelled the same! Yay!! ❤️ @round drum
@quiet meteor you could qr a photo to put on a canvas nearby. Sorry for your loss
@quiet meteor my bf had one for his grandma, I don't have any pictures but he made a QR of a picture of her that he could place down by a western style stone and used a lot of her favorite color
@cold crow that's such a sweet idea!! 🥺 thank you!
❤️ 💖
@quiet meteor I have one dedicated to my dog that passed away last month. I’ll show you
@amber moon I wanna do something like that too
@quiet meteor you could qr a photo to put on a canvas nearby. Sorry for your loss
@versed wadi thank you! for both the suggestion and the condolences 😊
@quiet meteor I have one dedicated to my dog that passed away last month. I’ll show you
@amber moon that'd be so great! and my condolences 😦
@quiet meteor maybe like a gravestone, qr design of ur dad, insence burner, flashy flower sign item, and a plucked white lily (symbolizing death and mourning)
Finally have 5 stars and my dream villagers 🥰

@wispy estuary ooooh i didn't even think of those last 3... ty!!
I made Stonehenge the memorial statue and her pic next to it

Planing on adding more cosmos, I just need to buy them :)
I made Stonehenge the memorial statue and her pic next to it
@amber moon that's so sweet. ty for showing me!! she's such a cute dog
I know the resident services is 10x12
Water core inspiration
Tysm. She was my bff. I had her from when I was 19 until now (33). She was with me pretty much half my life. It’s an awful feeling, but seeing her pic throughout my island makes me smile 😊
@hazy raven the farm one?
@versed wadi yes (:
@quiet meteor oh geez brain blast, use a wedding welcome board and customize it w your dads pic
Can anyone tell me the size of one square on the map?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
@hazy raven It’s Nates (this big guy)
@versed wadi he has a nice house 😄
#NateTheGreat

Nate is my favorite villager
Water core inspiration
@rustic flare WOW nice layout 😮
looking for tips on how to format an entrance to a city inspired island for a town hall this painfully close yet so far from my airport 
Trying to make this space work... 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Finally have almost everything pink. Not sure what else I could add to make it pop to the eyes. :/ help.. 😂😂😂 flowers, more floor lights? 🥺
Oh and I have to replace a spot of pattern I thought I’d just brush away. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
what can i put next to my diner?
@paper path our door patio, bike rack, a nice garden layout. 🙂
Could do even a like drive up spot for cars and have like something that looks like a speaker. 50s vibes.
@feral agate ty:)
@paper path waiting place? Like when people come in by reservation 😂, or a little garden
anyone have ideas for what to put in a medium sized empty spot on my island other than a resturaunt market or pool
I did a graveyard, I have a wrestling area, library. @weary thorn
Thanks @ancient fiber
@feral agate don't rlly have the items for those
Work area? Sorry mines in the night, but maybe that could work.
my progress with the garbage dump area ^^, is there anything I should add to this?
I just tried to do things I haven’t really seen a lot of people do. Could do like a little seat in area. 🙂 @weary thorn it’s all about that great imagination! 🙂
@feral agate thanks
@weary thorn maybe you could do a outdoor sport spot
That would be really cool actually, like almost an adult work out area.
@stark needle I should've mentioned that i already have a basketball court and a gym
any ideas on what to put on the fireplace/beside the glowing candlestick?
@frigid kayak maybe a lucky cat on the fire place or a golden dung beetle, even any of the bug or fish figurines that can fit there
as for the spot beside the candle maybe...some tea?
@viral breach ooo i like those ideas! tysm :))
@viral breach some tires?
ooo yesh tires! time to go fishing, thank you @granite spire
does anyone have a really nice island layout? I want some ideas
I just reset my save file, does anyone have a cool island layout I can get ideas from?

This is the island of Bruni. It once was a thriving town, but didn't popularize. Now its loyal v...
Any thoughts on my entrance? Maybe more trees?
hi i would like to put some flowers with my bamboo tree, wich one are the best for that?
Anyone have inspiration for flowers. I have no idea how to decorate with them
Do u have a initial thought to categorize what your island’s aesthetic is?
I need campsite ideas! Hit me with pic 🙂
any ideas for a medium sized empty square
I’ll send my campsite, see if u find any inspiration
I have the same colour flowers all over my island so it all matches 🙂 yellow, pink, orange, and white @ebon oak
Owh i love that axe idea there
@dim sinew I love your entrance, and yes maybe you could trees or bushes
@dim sinew I love your entrance, and yes maybe you could trees or bushes
@alizee.lc#7950 awe thank you!
@granite spire this is mine, and it’s basically in the middle of a forest 😂
I set up my alien watch area!
Heres my campsite, i have a little river where you can hop over!
Thnx all for the ideas 🙂
I set up my alien watch area!
@woven drift it’s beautiful 😍😍
@little root That’s pretty much what mine is like too. It’s just in the middle of a forest with a sort of nature walk area.
heheh yes!!! mines raised and has entrances on both sides but it’s only accessible through the nature walk/forest heheh
Thats so creative!
Oooo very nice!!
The setup of my campsite from above.
the top right corner of my map u can kind of see the forest layout 😂
is there enough space over here to chunk a house or do I need to move everything further in to the left ;-;
Does anyone have any ideas for like, SUPER SMALL entrances? (6 blocks) my town hall is in the worst place possible and what makes it worse is that it’s not centered so I can’t just have a path straight to it ;-;
Can I see you guy's campsit area? A map view of it would be nice too haha
What flower/color would go well around this area?
@amber mango Make the path run left to right in the first 3 squares, and put some trees and fencing behind the path, obscuring the RS. Then make it so you approach the plaza from the left or right.
@desert lion a few of us just posted campsites if you scroll back up! 😌
@steep marlin Probably blue
@versed wadi THANK YOUUUUUUU
@amber mango omg same i hate where my RS is... wish i knew before continuing my island
@weary thorn ok thanks
@granite spire
y'alls islands look so good im jealous
@twilit lintel where did you got those marshmellows!
@mortal umbra I reeeeaaaallly wish I could just move the whole dang plaza XD
where are the cuties i can commission island designs from?! 
idk whos island this is but I love it so much and I'm gonna copy some parts of it... I hope that's ok (also if the person who made it is seeing this I subscribed to your youtube channel)
@twilit lintel where did you got those marshmellows!
@granite spire it's a diy. but someone gave it to me during a trade

I don’t know if people knew this, but to get rid of paths easier just use the grass/snow pattern over the path and it won’t show up in the and it makes it super easy
any ideas for a square shaped meduim size part of my island i cant rlly think of anything
anyone have a band inspired area? trying to expand mine a bit : )
Any insp of the space outside the players house?

So what are the best items for farm sections of an island? I have a silo, hay beds, corral fencing, and a scarecrow. Are there any better items?
Looking for cottage core island.
ant ideas on were to put nooks cranny and the able sisters
@sullen sable towards the front if your planning on selling turnips and having visitors
i’ve added all the terraforming at the front of my island so it kinda looks dumb
@dusky geode it is! 😊
Which incline goes best with the wooden path?
Good?
@paper snow actually, im curious to see the rest! if you want to, can i go to your island to look around for little?
Does the pathway fit or should I use stone?
@dusky geode it’s actually still under construction and barely barely finished 😅
Good?
@last ferry okay but this looks so gooD
@dusky geode it’s actually still under construction and barely barely finished 😅
@paper snow that's alright! whenever you're done, just hmu

Does anyone have a Sailor Moon inspired island or part of their island? I’d love to see pictures for inspiration
What incline does everyone use around the wooden path? I'm using the wooden path outside of my Museum ans need an incline there but I don't know which would look best
@zealous mortar gorgeous photos uwuw only think i can really think of is you could try adding some custom design flowers/seashells, etc. to your areas?
oooo, i knew that park was missing something, i'm gonna get some flower codes tomorrow, thanks!!!!
Glad i was able to help!
space-themed area i made next to my museum... 😁 im open to suggestions on how to make it look nicer lol (id add nova lights but i don't have the diy yet rip)
@honest abyss some floor lights maybe? Maybe more custom design paths?
ooh yeah floor lights are a good idea, ty
@honest abyss I need those custom codes!!
Wait, to add on to what I said, I’d be down to either see a Sailor Moon thème (part of their) island OR Harry Potter theme!
@woven drift haha which ones? the signs? ill dm u one sec
@quaint pebble honestly i think any of them would look pretty good! the log one is would so i imagine would go pretty well with a wood path but i can’t imagine any of them would look too bad :0) the stone one pairs nicely with the museum too
@opaque pagoda thank you!
I have now made my island center even better
Guys so I totally flattened out my island and moved all the buildings to the shore and I’m like having a crisis regretting making everything flat and I just wanna straight up GIVE UP
I was thinking okay I’ll make a new island and start over but I have sooo things in my museum, and just a lot of stuff 😖😳
@honest abyss some dark flowers in between the items would be cool!
@twilit bane try drawing out your plan on paper to get an idea of what you’re gonna do
Guys so I totally flattened out my island and moved all the buildings to the shore and I’m like having a crisis regretting making everything flat and I just wanna straight up GIVE UP
@twilit bane You got this. pick one of the fixed elements of the map (Airport, River Mouths) and start there. Work a section at a time and before long you'll have an awesome island. Good luck and have fun!
@honest abyss some dark flowers in between the items would be cool!
@weary vale yeah i was thinking that too actually haha, ill try that
@twilit bane same but i ended up just restarting
Thank y’all, I’ll try and update this chat if i get the energy and hope
I really liked this island layout and I wanted to recreate is but like the only thing making me like 😳😳 is how I gonna make all these cliffs and stuff since everything is flat
do section at a time
☝️
Took a better pic and in the light 🙂 still need to change the hedgea but dunno to what
Ohh my god.... that is so so smart lol I did not think of that. Thank you so much for that honestly
@twilit bane definitely don't recreate it! islands are personal to the people who build them. this island layout is @patent sky's layout and she's said before that she's against copying. taking inspo is okay but make it your own!
Where do you all find your island layouts? I'm not creative in the least.
Okay I payed 60$ for this game, I’ll play it how I’ll like. If I wanna recreate it then I will 🙂 in all respect to lulu
that ain't it chief
Good luck hahahahaha
yikes
Stay pressed kitty girls
yikes x2
Idk if that was sarcastic or not but my answer was valid girl lmao
I mean I don't think I could recreate my waterfalls a second time exactly so 
there's no shame in taking inspiration @twilit bane but there is in putting others down, so maybe try and be less hostile and be open for advice! just take it one section at a time, it's more fun to make it your own ❤️
@patent sky I was blessed to see I have an exact island layout as yours, I’ll give you a tour of your own island when I’m finished
Anything else to spice up my arcade ? I'm getting foosball and ping pong tables too
@woven drift you can get arcade seats
oh yea I'm getting those too
@woven drift and a dart broad and juke box is pretty cool
@woven drift rocket lamps? 🤔
yep I ordered rocket lamps, I'll try to get a juke box
@twilit bane bad form. why come in here to ask for help... and then immediately start burning bridges? Good luck with the island, don't waste too many hours before you reset again.
@woven drift the coconut tree lamps might look good
@versed wadi Thank you for the encouragement 🤤🤤🤤
@woven drift a we’re open neon sign also looks like it can be for a arcade
@woven drift maybe a town clock aswell?
Lava lamps would look nice
@twilit bane k
really happy with merengues house so far ! hoping to get some panels and a bit more furniture, lmk if u have opinions on how to improve it ! 
I have a open sign too
I need help with bamboo forest idea 
I made this cool mini corner arcade to fill space
do yall think black streetlamps look fine with this white aesthetic i’ve got going on? Should I switch to white ones instead?
you should have a bamboo forest and there should be a path that leads to a hidden shrine @winged thicket
any ideas for a square shaped meduim size part of my island i cant rlly think of anything
black is a nice contrast
@past dune There are dark green Street lamps to those may look good with the hedges
Shrine to lord helix
@weary thorn you could do an infinity pool 🙂
a slight improvement perhaps?
@bold hollow maybe maybe, they’d be tough to get bc I’d have to get them from somebody
@vale sorrel i dont think the space is big enough thanks though
any ideas for a square shaped meduim size part of my island i cant rlly think of anything
@past dune yeah I hate that you can’t customize items you get from the nook miles shop thing
any ideas for a square shaped meduim size part of my island i cant rlly think of anything
Not sure what to do with all this empty space behind my museum. Any ideas?
@compact adder A park of sorts maybe?
@compact adder you could put some fosssils on display or make a big park you could also do an orchard or garden
@compact adder you could do a library on top of cliffs 🙂
any ideas for a square shaped meduim size part of my island i cant rlly think of anything
@compact adder like a fossil or art display maybe
Thanks everyone. I was thinking some cliffs for sure! I have a pagoda that I need to do something with so I might try do put that there
any ideas for a square shaped meduim size part of my island i cant rlly think of anything
any ideas for a square shaped meduim size part of my island i cant rlly think of anything
@weary thorn please can you provide more details and stop spamming that same message. If you could show us a picture of the area in question and let us know what's nearby we might be able to better help you out.
How close has anyone gotten to a “double bridge”?
@versed wadi ok ok
hey! i’m trying to make my island kinda rustic themed. what small areas do you think i should include in it. i’m lacking inspiration.
By double bridge I mean 2 bridges connecting as close as possible to one another. How much space does there need to be between bridges?
@silent beacon I think 2 if I’m not mistaken
I don’t know if this intersection is to much
@warm dew thanks! Have you seen anyone do this? Any inspo?
Ik this is a bad pic cus i took it on a computer but does anyone know what to do with this spot im most likely going to clear out that little pond and build it up to a second level
@silent beacon what bridge are you planning to use? I’ve seen two wood bridges that use a custom design to look like one
Oooooo that’s what that was! I saw the same thing
I was planning on metal or brick. I want the whole double arches thing happening
@prisma sigil i'm along the same theme and I have items like barrels, log stools and stakes, wells, firewood, clotheslines, and candles all over my island, the little details help a lot 🙂
Ik this is a bad pic cus i took it on a computer but does anyone know what to do with this spot im most likely going to clear out that little pond and build it up to a second level
@silent beacon if you go the code requests and help channel, they have all the designs for the bridges. I’m using a brick bridge into a restaurant with the same brick pathing. I think it’ll looks neat
Ik this is a bad pic cus i took it on a computer but does anyone know what to do with this spot im most likely going to clear out that little pond and build it up to a second level
@grim cosmos for real? That’s crazy. How do you even copy exactly everything that’s insane
Smart smart smart
@weary thorn a little playground dog park could look cool
@warm dew thanks
Entrance to my island and entrance to my resident services ^_^
@weary thorn whats near that area?
it's not the matter of how it's the matter of why
@warm dew over to the right there is a pool on a second level and behind it there are most of my villagers homes
Could i get some suggestions/ideas of what i could do with these spaces in front of my market place?
@past dune i think a pool would look good in the second pic
@past dune what abt a coffee shop?
@past dune you could make a little swimming pool area or what I did is make a ton of stall and make a little farmers market
greenhouse 👌
@weary thorn nice, I’d definitely recommend something your villagers could “use” so like a public park with benches. A library, gym or playground. I just had Lucky running around in my playground and got real happy lol
@past dune im always a fan of a picnic area 🙂
@warm dew ok thanks
Yall have friggn amazing ideas omg
I’ll see what i can think up and i’ll post if i get something down
@vale sorrel is that flower on the right a hat? it's so cute 🥺
@ember sand the petal parasol!
Could i get some suggestions/ideas of what i could do with these spaces in front of my market place?
@past dune maybe a small cafe?
Looking for some help to spice up my island
@warm dew what type of path do you think i should use for the playground i was thinking i would use sand
my island is open for tours if anyone is interested. its free. its a tropical/paradise theme. dm me if interested
Do y’all have any ideas on what else I could do with this restaurant, because I think it’s just really small and boring
@weary thorn I used the dirt path (not the dark one) but it’s honestly pretty good with any path
@warm dew ok thanks i might just do a cool pattern using both
@alpine spoke add some workers maybe? Some stuff on the tables. Here’s mine
Can someone help me with island inspo my island is nature/cozy
Oh that’s a really good idea @warm dew thanks for that idea!
@alpine spoke
@alpine spoke here’s two other ones if you need more ideas! They’re not mine
can I see someones neighborhood area please I’m struggling to find where to put it 
@lilac lintel if you’d like you could see mine
yes yes please ❤️
Can anyone with a natural/ forest theme share what the area looks like around there house ? :)
@alpine spoke
@lilac lintel sorry for the bad quality but they’re on a 2nd level with 14x7 yards. 5 shares yards
@alpine spoke
@warm dew Ooh tysm that looks great ❤️
Oh yeah that last idea looks really cool @twilit lintel
@lilac lintel sorry I didn’t show an actual yard example, I haven’t started lol
@echo snow This is where I ended up with my player house
anyone got a library area ? if so can i see some photos for inspo💕
@warm dew it’s oki 🙂
@weary thorn here’s mine for reference. It’s hard to see but I put little paw prints into the dirt to give the illusion that my villagers were there playing
thanks @warm dew
Omg that looks so good @warm dew
I made this cool tiki bar area what else could I add?
@bold hollow maybe find some custom paths to put down like white planks? to fill that empty space
@bold hollow beach towels or chairs
@bold hollow looks great so far. Simple panels that have a custom design with drinks behind the tiki bar gives the illusion of having a little bar back there
@bold hollow
Thanks I going to add those
I'm still haveing problems with my entrance. It's proximity to the plaza is making it really hard.
Any entrance ideas that isn't all waterfalls?
i did this as flooring for a playground area can i get some feedback
i was thinking that maybe instead of having arrows coming from one corner i could maybe do arrows from all 4 corners
Send pics of your entrances or die
pls ❤️
@native gorge
@molten dirge
I have a little market-diy-trade area.
I have this little bald spot in my camping area, any ideas?
I’m looking for ideas for a foresty/cottage core themed island. I’d love to see some pictures for inspo! 
Here's my entrance @native gorge
@native gorge 🥺
@winter gorge maybe clothesline and a simple workshop
@twilit lintel thank youuu!
Anyone have examples of using waterfalls at the island entrance in a small amount of space?
@grizzled cedar Can I see how much space you have now?
Here pk,
Someone ideas for dianas place? (There is an apple tree growing in the cornor)
@desert lion I can’t move the flowers back because I wanted a long road of every flower color LOL
@grizzled cedar
@granite spire Feel like Diana would have all of the celestial themed things like the moon chair, nova light etc but all in her colors of white/purple
anyone have island inspo for when your resident services is literally RIGHT after the airport?
@twilit lintel Thanks! That looks great
Anyone have a design of Kick's face?
@grizzled cedar ogh make it expanive haha but thank yiu will look into it
@boreal ocean i blocked mine off with a row of trees, and a horizontal path right by the airport
any pics? @restive pewter <3
@boreal ocean how many spaces away is it?
@versed wadi i'd say like 6 or 7
That is really close! You could make a horizontal path that runs in the first 3 squares, then plant trees/fences behind that path. Then you can make that path approach the RS from the side, making any asymmetry less noticeable.
@boreal ocean
my island is open for tours if anyone is interested. dm me for code.
merengues house ! i’m very happy with this 
so for this part of my island i’m looking for some advice. i’m doing a pink blue theme over here and idk what should i do for the space next to the bench that’s empty. should i get another butterfly(different) model such as agrias butterfly, or should i get the paper kite butterfly for both sides so its more matching ? (the model pictured is the emporer butterfly model)
What are some good villager houses layouts? (With dimensions)
@versed wadi Tysm! it's hard to get creative when there's nothing to work with
@sand iron you could put a statue there? a blue one, since it's the side of the blue light
@spice bolt you can come to my island to check mine out. i cant really take a picture since its kinda big
@boreal ocean mines really close too, i made my entrance very open to make it seem like there’s more space and less crowded
@restive pewter also thank you! I love that <3
Crappy photo of island map but here’s a W.I.P of my island called Aesia
@boreal ocean constraints foster creativity
@twilit lintel ok, thanks!
@boreal ocean mines really close too, i made my entrance very open to make it seem like there’s more space and less crowded
@prisma sigil Do you have any pictures?
@grizzled cedar for now i have it like this till i found nova lights etc in puprle and white
@granite spire Cute! it's a DIY you can get from celeste, also star clock works too if you turn it around so you don't see the clock side
Will look of for those 🙂
could someone post or send me some photos of their paths, if you have a natural themed island.
@glacial lily I dont have a natural theme but i think you could do kind of like a checkerboard patter with dirt and dark dirt
@unreal pasture✨ kinda awful picture but here’s my entrance
Can somebody help me with where to put my villagers houses? I’m struggling
which is better? 😮
The second one
@cosmic ingot bottom for sure
🥰 thank you!!
I’m so blind I thought they were the same 🤦🏻♀️
Random semi circle that beautifully fills up the width of an acre
😂 spot the difference trick
I need help decorating my cafe anyone wanna share theirs ? :))
hii guys i wanna make a garden on my island but i don’t know what would look cute and i need some inspiration
@woven drift check the search!! Theres like a million cafe pics lol
@woven drift
Can I tour anyones island?
@versed wadi thank you !! Big help it looks great
decided i’d share my beautiful and detailed island layout
@cinder stream omg thats too much detail
i know 😳 it’s crazy
Does anyone have a bamboo area that they would like to share? Looking for inspiration. Redoing my island currently
What can I do with my nooks cranny to make it look better?
Took one last pic here before I demolish it
@woven drift it looks so pretty 🥺
visited a Midsommar themed island ^^
@dapper ginkgo tysm 🥺 I’m making it more natural
Can I visit anyone’s island for inspiration? I’m doing a cottage core theme and idk what to do :))
Finally finished my playground! Thanks to everyone who traded bunny day items with me
This is Eriks home entrance hope u like it:)
Hey I need island entrence inspo can you please share yours it would help alot :)
Is this good so far, what should I do from here?
Does anyone have a cute statue garden area?
No
anyone have a idea what i can do in this last spot on island?
could i see some map inspiration? preferably one with two southern river mouths!
Anyone have an island named Disney Land?!
@kind grove try searching “in:island-layouts has:image double south” !! lots of good map references
@storm bluff thank you!!
lolly’s house!
aww very cute!
@spark plover tysm !
yw!
@kind grove
How far apart should trees be for an orchard? I am thinking like 5 or 6 trees per type of fruit. Please provide pictures for reference!
@median comet mine are two over and one down on a diagonal. But elsewhere on my island I have trees with only one space between.
@opal bough thank you! How many spaces down for the second one?
2-3 spaces between rows.
Ah okay thanks!!
What do you guys think about digsites? One or two deep? @ me or DM thoughts.
@sour lake i honestly think both work! it all depends on how much space you have to build it~
should i do an arcade or a play ground for bobs house?
Going for 5 wolves one side, 5 Chickens on the other
Yea... I’m resetting my island
@grizzled cedar got the items now just make it look pretty
@sour lake if you’ve got two go for two. Why not?!
any ideas on what to do behind this bridge to make it look better? It’s on the third tier so i don’t wanna put higher cliffs 😭
A pagoda
@sour lake i like the 2 down
@woven drift honestly just add another pine tree to fill the space.
I want a natural way to layout my villagers houses. I dont want it to be symmetrical at all. Can I have some inspiration?
Should I make a waterfall in front? Need answers
I only got one down but I don’t mind building up but it’s going to be a LOT of work
@woven drift maybe a rainbow flower garden?
I just need answers;-;
@wary violet good idea! thank you!
@woven drift no problem 😁
@somber shard for our island we did two neighborhoods we built up cliffs behind one and the river behind the second so they felt more “natural”
Wood or brick?
@opal bough Thanks for the image! Do you think I could maybe make a lake (I have half an island available) and lay them around and in small islands, I have a lot of bridges available
I still need answers ;-;
sigh, i haven't got anywhere close to my 2nd level,
@fossil elbow no one can really tell you if a waterfall should be there or not lmao, try doing one and see if you like it.
@brazen horizon thanks Toph , also I needed recommendation , not a lecture
oh also; for goldie i’m making her a library. what are good fitting items? i have many or the large book shelves, tables, and peach chairs. any items suggestions? (also giving her a lil garden)
@queen frost I made a little library for my sophisticated wolfie, Fang.
does anyone have a natural island. could you send me some pictures of your paths. or just @ me
ooo i love that!!! i might steal a few ideas from that haha, thank you so much !!
I have added a stack of books too...
@somber shard I love that idea! I have this other image I saved from someone else but just no room for it on our island at the mo.
Can someone critique my island layout (sorry its so messy) just say it here or, if it's multiple messages, DM me :)
it looks great! i personally think the top left is crowded so maybe making the houses a little closer to each other would be nice.
@wary violet
@wary violet That’s not messy at all! I love that it’s symmetrical but different in the neighborhoods. And not at all symmetrical but evenly spaced and balanced everywhere else! ✨🖤✨
@still panther @opal bough thank you :) and I'll keep the crowding in mind
The gray lines around the houses are fences btw, so I can give every villager a monochromatic yard
I want to put an iron garden table outside bobs house and have it match his color scheme, which color would fit best? (Green, blue, brown, black, white)
Anyone know any good paths for an arcade type area ? x
@deft gust #custom-design-help🎨
my map is finally coming together!
it makes mine look so boxy omg
still have some to work on tho
ugh my rivers look so like, flat, boxy and like unnatural? anyone have any natural river inspo
Do you think it would look weird if my villagers had different fences?
i think that'd look nice
Mines the bottom one!
not at all, it gives each villager personality :0
@jade pond I wouldn’t recommend because of consistency, but it would give a uniqueness to you island.
i just restarted my island and oml
@jade pond all of mine have different fences!! i like matching it to their house exterior
any recommendations for my greenhouse area?
@lean star more plants 🌱
@lean star maybe add some more plants
koolio
@glacial lily i use a mix of stone pathing and custom paths
@storm bluff do you have the creator code for the little flower sparkle paths
@woven drift i actually just made them myself 😭 but there are a lot of other codes you can ask for in #custom-design-help🎨
They look very whimsical 🙂
im horrible at terra lol need insipration
@stuck trail you should extend it under the fence and maybe extend the deck so it's also next to the stairs so it'll look less awkward, idk
Is the service center placing on the map at random? I'm surprised to see some has it inline with their airport
What should I add in this small space??
@bright rover maybe a little diy zone
@mossy spade when you start the game you get 4 options to choose from, so its possible to keep restarting until you find one that’s perfectly aligned
@austere heath whats the table you have the globe on? it’s really cute
@bright rover https://www.instagram.com/p/CBarj46Jkjq/?igshid=jh1mk11uwvp7 I really like the diy zone in this one
Welcome back to Instagram. Sign in to check out what your friends, family & interests have been capturing & sharing around the world.
@storm bluff ahh okay got it! Thanks !😄
I’ll check it out! ❤️ @wary violet
@queen frost it's a mini fridge with the wood color. 🤭
So if u restart your island will u lose all your furniture? And villagers as well?
Yes
wdym by restart? if you mean tearing everything down no but like redoing the whole entire game yes.
So if u restart your island will u lose all your furniture? And villagers as well?
@uneven walrus yes but you can find a friend to hold it for you. That’s what I’m gonna do when I get a new switch
Ohh okay thank you everyone!
Is there any services to build my island? Just ask if it possible
I have this area right on the beach and next to a river/lake. It’s pretty small and I have no idea why to build there
@magic vapor I mean ig someone could design you an island on happy island designer. Or someone can design you a room at Harvey’s island
Any suggestions??
@hallow tree maybe like a beachside market
I’m looking for spooky/haunted island areas for inspo
If anyone could send some to me I would appreciate it 🕷
would anyone mind sending their entrance for inspo? my res services is a little off-center and pretty close to my airport and im kinda stuck lol
@oblique ocean if you search “ in:island-layouts has: image has: spooky “ then you can find some really good ideas
My plaza is way off and 10 spaces away from my airport so this is all I could fit hope it helps
it does! that actually looks quite nice, tysm :)
Is there any other enprovments I can put here besides more nova lights
@jade pond there’s not much room for flowers and the corners of the ponds I’m going to put nova lights
@hallow tree I totally thought you were going to make giant chess with statues and got excited! Do you have outdoor shops? What's your theme?
Does anyone have any tips on terraforming when it comes to making a cottage core island?
@marsh cliff I don’t have much of a theme but I’m using the terra cotta paths so I guess kind of a beach town
I need help with my island I’m not the most creative person
I don’t have any outdoor shops set up yet, I was thinking it would be cool here. I already tried a tiki bar and a playground which both looked bad
@hallow tree is it kinda close to the beach or super far? Maybe a smoothie shop could be cute.
In the bottom you can see the path and the path is two thick and on the other side is the little hill to the beach
Does anyone have any tips on terraforming when it comes to making a cottage core island?
@tropic coyote I feel like a lot of cliffs (sorry I can’t remember the word hahaha) and mushroom items
Hello! Can I see some entrances for ideas?

@bright rover ik I'm late but you could make a wedding area
@tropic coyote lots of mountain-y areas, waterfalls, natural looking rivers, and pine trees too
@hallow tree what about a sushi stand or seafood restaurant? I really wish there were tables with beach umbrellas so we could make more beach-like eating areas.
Me too, I’ll try it. Thanks
Trying to create a garden space! Anyone willing to bless me with photos of their garden area if they have one? ☺️
@remote hornet I would make the rivers do this to start:
are some of you guys planning on switching out the flowers on your island when it's another season if you're going with a theme? Like I have mainly purple flowers on my island, but I'm planning on switching to pink flowers in the winter
Dm me if you have any entrance ideas something easy and simple I can do please 🥺 I don’t have insta or Pinterest for any inspiration so Idrk
My island is tropical themed so I try to have all sorts of colors etc all over the place
@oblique ocean My graveyard:
@austere yew I think my entrance is pretty simple
@opal bough I love the unfilled grave In the corner
@opal bough okayyyy what should I do next 🥺
any tips as to where i should move able sisters and nooks cranny? i’m moving the museum to the top and i’m trying to make my island more spread out.
tips on rivers and other non-official places would be nice too! (i want to make a cafe, arcade area, and just a nice little hang out aswell)
@azure thicket ty!
any ideas for chairs in this area?
Hello! Does anyone have any tips for what to do with the campsite? My island is very city and European themed as shown in the pictures.
@lone delta some public bench’s on the left
@remote hornet I would elevate ables and nooks. Move all the residents to one area put your house up on a cliff top with the campsite opposite.
@bold hollow Thank You So Much!!! Personal point of pride is the watery grave. Lmao 😉😉
@lime ridge I would just move your nooks to where your museum was. I personally hate having to run all over the place to shop and it makes it easier for friends and strangers if the stores are close.
im happy with how my resident area turned out since i had so little space to do it
How do you guys fill your beach?? LF inspo 🤩 pics pls
@opal bough okay! thank you for the tip!
I finished my entrance! I’m currently working on a forest themed island with a hint of magic
@lone delta how do you get “buildings” like that
So I expanded my garden section today. The bushes and weeds need to grow in a little more, but just wanted to share
@tacit wing I used customised simple panels
and the original garden
What can I do improve my nooks cranny?
@opal bough okayyyy what next 🥺
@remote hornet that’s three days worth of moving buildings lmao. Then you just add waterfalls trees and flowers til it feels right. It gives you room to go extra hard with the museum and island entrance. YOLO from there lol
Marshal’s goal is a designer, any suggestion on items I can use to decorate his yard?
Anyone have some good Forrest island ideas? i’m currently stuck
@jade bay around the campsite is a really dense foresy
? i didn't say anything about the campsite
I’ve been stuck at a dry spot in creativity can someone help please? 🙂
@opal bough true😅 and thank you so much I appreciate it!
@woven drift I did a playground and a restaurant around my island if you’d like to add that
what should i put on the empty stall?
current map progress! I still have a ways to go but I’m feeling closer to completion than ever !
@vestal crown very cool 👌
Amazing 🤯
Anyone got a small picnic area on their island, I need inspiration.
@woven drift can I ask why you decided to demolish your little fountain / park bench area? It’s so pretty🥺 what are you replacing it with?
@tardy robin I am replacing it with something more natural looking!
yards for tangy and molly ♡
@midnight hamlet sorry it’s kinda bad
@storm bluff just perfect.
Uh I was doing my island lay out and this happen
He swimmin
Does anyone know how to make your island look pretty for a tropical vibe
lol
where does everyone get their aesthetic furniture ? i’m thinking of redoing my island
any idea what to do with this area behind my entrance?
Depends on the aethetics
Does anyone know how to make your island look pretty for a tropical vibe
@tender canopy same thing happened to me except with CJ lol
@thorn fossil Lots of palm trees!!
well i’m kinda looking for scandanavian/cottage core
@thorn fossil put some sand spots down and plant palm trees all over your island!
@thorn fossil try looking up tropical island tours on youtube
Ok thx !
@woven drift Scandinavian meaning viking esk?
@woven drift Scandinavian meaning viking esk?
@wispy estuary yeah sorta
Wind flowers are the best for tropical right
@woven drift hmmmm.... I'd try either nookazon or the new horizons app to check out the furniture catalouge,, for cottage core ik theres a lot of town tours on YouTube for the look.. I've only ever seen 1 viking town posted here
@woven drift hmmmm.... I'd try either nookazon or the new horizons app to check out the furniture catalouge,, for cottage core ik theres a lot of town tours on YouTube for the look.. I've only ever seen 1 viking town posted here
@wispy estuary kk tyy

Does anyone know where my name comes from just wanting to know
Lf nova lights FT nmt
@thorn fossil you can come check my island out if you need inspo for a tropical theme
@bold hollow wroooooong chat
Ok
Is it from dangan ronpa? Future diary?
Danganronpa
Nice
i need some inspiration for my cottagecore island 😞
if anyone wants inspo for a tropical theme or just in general, my island is open for tours.
I need someone’s island picture that shows a beautiful entrance with stars or lamps and waterfall.. please help me! 😭
@livid hull
@twilit lintel beautiful!
Need help picking a fence for my peppy and Snooty villager’s yard. They’re going to share
@warm dew what do their houses look like?
It’s Flora and I don’t have a snooty yet lol. But Flora’s is pink. I was basing them more off of personality then color
@warm dew ohh ok haha, i usually match them to their house exterior but that’s cool!
can anyone please give me camping site ideas?
this squarish area looks kinda weird behind my entrance. any idea what i can do with it? i'm planning to but a bakery behind it
@storm bluff I was trying that but then came to the realization that Pietro and Raymond exteriors are hard to fence based off their look so I just went with Zen since it’s “high class” or fancy
@real pumice
anyone have ideas for a farm?
honestly, I didn't even think about custom villager fencing now I wanna re-do all of mine
@warm dew black roses and black diner stuff works well for raymond! i did this
@tame helm that looks nice!
thanks!! i tried to go for an officey serious theme to match him
@tame helm that’s what I was originally planning but it took to much space for my island plan
my little library :3
Trying to make a little town/market area but have like no ideas, would love some help or even to see if anyone has something like this to get some inspiration 🥺
white iron garden benches or the silver garden benches?
white
@dapper flare white
@daring crescent are you going for a cramped market like the ones in China or a spacious market?
my brain is so fried i can't think of anything for this area
How does this look so far for my bee area? It leads up to my stargazing spot :) I tried to be sporadic with the hives. Flowers will be added after I'm done breeding the colours I want
@daring crescent
@warm dew A more spacious market (:
@woeful shell cant wait to see it with flowers~
Museum inspos?
@twilit lintel omg that’s amazing !!
definitely already getting some ideas
c:
Does anyone have a Japanese themed island I can look at
Does someone have a tropical island theme.. looking for some ideas 🥺🥺🥺
@rotund burrow i do. you can come to my island
Thoughts on my fencing setup? Yards are grouped by Two villagers
Lazy - Hedges
Sisterly + Normal - Simple Wooden Fence
Cranky + Smug - Zen fence
Peppy + Snooty - Lattice Fence

This is the island of Bruni. It once was a thriving town, but didn't popularize. Now its loyal v...

Need tips to fill up my island
Anyone have entrance ideas? DN me!! Let’s me friends too :)
i’m really struggling w this area for goldie,, any suggestions?
A gold statue 😜
So this is my entrance right now, it looks really bland and boring.. does anyone have any suggestions on what to add to make it pop?
lol imma do that for ankha ;)
@woven drift trees
looks good
Smoif what theme is that
can someone show me there entrance, my resident services is pretty close. i juts got rid of my old entrance cause i didn’t really like it
@runic estuary natural themed island
Ow I’m looking for a Japanese
I wish I could do that type of execution. I’m not meticulous enough
@runic estuary
@woven drift I try to abstain from using a 3 wide road that's completely straight, try to add a cherry/apple tree here and there to match your red/pink theme. the star fragments and tall mushroom doesn't really belong there. It feels weird. Try changing the fences up, how about the oriental fence (red Japanese looking fence). And I can't stress this enough, flowers. They're bunched up and everywhere. Sure, it's nice to have them everywhere, but they're all bunched up in squares/lines. Try to separate them a bit, this will give it a more natural feeling to your island, since flowers don't grow in rows all bunched up in nature like that.
hope this helps
Ooo do u mind if I can visit ur island for some ideas
My Cottage Core island
@runic estuary if u'd like, only my residential area is japenese city themed. But I'll dm u the dodo
Yes pls
@woven drift just @ me if you need any more help 🙂
@runic estuary its currently raining so it doesn't look very appealing but I'll open one sec
Working around where I’m located now but I thought I would share my map 😮 I’m about 80% done
@finite oyster this is mine
Here’s my Island Map (this is from yesterday , I added some lil cliffs )
@dull falcon is there a way I can stop the flowers from spreading?
@woven drift I know how
@woven drift put a path around it or a costum one
Ohh okay thanks!
@woven drift Just patch it up with pathing so it doesn’t spread or end the garden at the beach
How did you all customize your lazy villager’s yards?
@warm dew my yards are based of there likings
@warm dew clarify what you mean
@woven drift but instead of placing any custom design, adding too many can be quite hectic, and will look bad, so make sure you have a clear design, and place the clear design around it if you want those tiles to stay as grass/dirt etc etc.
@fossil elbow how the area looks in front of a lazy villagers home. Like Lucky, Bob, Alfonso, Papi etc. I know they love food and snacks so I wanted to make something that fits them
My friend gave me a lucky cat and I make a little waterfall cliff for them :)
new layout for goldie,, opinions?
@granite spire Could i possibly see a picture for inspo? I have some snack machines and a log sofa laid out so far
Hybrid field+yellow. Have to move houses to fit the rest of the hybrids but this is what I did so far, I was tired moving flowers.
Only have done 2 of my villagers so far but yea here you go @warm dew
What should I add to this place besides flowers? I'm not sure how much I like it and I might jusy demolish it :(
@queen frost It's alright, I'd recommend finding what Goldie likes (puts in her house), and put some of that stuff outside as well. Also, I can't help but notice that it doesn't say sold, so do you even have Goldie coming to your island?
i already have goldie, i’m just moving her home from one location to another so they don’t put a sold sign lol. i tried to fit what goldie likes, mainly books and things with a natural but elegant theme @dull falcon
anyone have 5 to 6 steps away resident services from airport? i badly need ideass huehueheuheuehuehueheuheuhe
A little cliff side/meteor impact area. I thought you guys would enjoy seeing it
Can I see some island maps with a lot of cliffs and such
@foggy geode Make a little waterfall! That's what I did but I have more space for it posted something I did for my lucky cat, you can see it if you scroll up a tad, I suggest something like that
@desert lion try changing the design you have on the ground (dirt).
Dirt isn't the most appealing, try other designs if you can, I'd recommend something like cobblestone, dark wood, or just back to grass. Round off the edges by clicking the placement button on the same piece twice (can only be done on corners). I would say a few flowers here and there on top of the cliffs would be nice. and terraform the topmost cliff to connect the tops with water (water terraform on highest peak). Check how that looks first though. Combining the waterfalls to the same source of water can make it feel more natural, and may make it look better.
@rotund burrow
Guys i got a question. I need some inspo, for a plaza that all whites with statues in the middle of a pond, and the pathing be a somekind of white/creamy marble path. I tried googling for "statue garden" and all pics seems to be related with foresty-vibe. Any help what i should look for?
Any ideas for the area behind my character? The entrance is right in front of me, where the waterfalls are. :)
@pliant moth shopping stalls? Starbucks?
@woven drift Try looking for a Japanese themed style. Like Smoif's post from above.
Just change the flooring to cobblestone or something. Gray looks pretty good with a cream color.
@granite spire ooh, good idea! I kind of need space for when trading stuff though. :/ and I don't have any ideas how to make a trading area look good. :(
The area behind the stone pavement is completely blank though haha
I’m making a bridge, which one should I use?
@pliant moth some people like to just grab a lot of stalls and put a few things on it, and around it in front, or behind, sometimes both if you want it to look like storage in the back. Try designs to make it look natural, because stores don't look alike irl y'know? Change things up, don't have a couple areas showing off the same stuff.
Some wood on the floor and fences around it with a sign trade is what i normaly see for trade areas like @dull falcon said few stalls is plenty
Does anyone have any nooks cranny inspo? :3
@woven drift what’s ur island theme?
@dull falcon @granite spire
Is it normal for my island to lag when I'm walking through my Japanese street market area? Is there a way to reduce lag other than remove a lot of the items?
I don’t even know I’m pretty clueless
@cyan glen to many items in 1 place can be laggy
Which flower fits the cemetery look more? I’m leaning towards lillies or cosmos?
But someone suggested I use some Japanese fencing, so should I go with the zen bridge?
Well my favorite bridges are the wooden and stone bridge
@granite spire @dull falcon thank you both!
@pliant moth you also can work with simple panels and costimize then with bags or other shoping items
@vernal lake Try putting brick fences around the back, maybe a few tiles out, like 3, and connect the edges together, so 3 up, on both edges as if you are extending the shop, and connect them, create a 1 by 3 hole, and place the brick fence facing the wall to create a little gate like entrance. Put some cardboard boxes, and a trash can in there to make it look like a garbage area/loading area. (use brick floor designs to match the fencing. @ me if you have any questions!
@pliant moth np! Glad we could help!
Amber if you do get with the Japanese fencing then yes!
@pliant moth no hope it will work out 🙂 @sharp stump i found dark/black flowers work better in gravehards but if you wanna kewp the white cosmos look better
@vernal lake i made my nooks kinda sunken and added a cute marketway alley to it (still a WIP lol) c:
Can someone DM the map of his island?
@pliant moth no hope it will work out 🙂 @sharp stump i found dark/black flowers work better in gravehards but if you wanna kewp the white cosmos look better
@granite spire I’ll try dark flowers! If it doesn’t work, I’ll go cosmos ;D ty!
@proper fiber what’s the code for the brick stuff in front of nooks cranny, I’ve been trying to look like something like that for ages
@sharp stump np!!
i have this area in front of Raymond's house and im not sure of what to put here

This is the map annotated with what everything is
@foggy geode mine were super close together so I made around my airport and resident services my down town area with everything else branching out from it. As if you would be at a real airport coming into the city 😋
