I love the decoy ducks subbing in as seagulls lol

amber moon
#

Lol ty! I wish we had seagull models or something @weak wedge lol

marsh harness
#

okay! thank you all for your input ^^ i’ll probably just use the spiky fences for my turnip farm area

sage fulcrum
#

@storm bluff yeah but I wanna put them all on a second level but I don’t have enough stairs :/

woven drift
#

@sage fulcrum what does your map look like?

sage fulcrum
#

@woven drift and the river opening is like blocked by the buildings so now I’m lost : (

storm bluff
#

@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

sage fulcrum
#

@storm bluff yeah but every time I plan I always just not follow it

woven drift
#

@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-)

sage fulcrum
#

@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

indigo pulsar
storm bluff
#

@sage fulcrum have you tried using island planner programs like happy island designer?

polar lichen
amber moon
#

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.

sage fulcrum
#

@storm bluff yes many times and I always not follow the plan 😑

storm bluff
#

@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

sage fulcrum
#

The river is really bothering me

indigo pulsar
#

This tbh

woven drift
#

@woven drift gas station, shopping center (mall? you can use stalls nd all that), park

amber moon
sage fulcrum
#

@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 :/

indigo pulsar
storm bluff
#

@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

woven drift
#

@indigo pulsar not sure, try looking on nook.exchange, nookazon (trading sites) and browse through some items!

sage fulcrum
#

@storm bluff put my villager homes somewhere else

storm bluff
#

@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?

indigo pulsar
#

True

storm bluff
#

@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?

sage fulcrum
#

@storm bluff I’m doing cottagecore and fairy core

storm bluff
#

@sage fulcrum okay id reference past cottagecore maps to see how other people have laid things out, and take inspiration from that

sage fulcrum
#

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

wet cliff
#

What do i put in between stairs
@indigo pulsar stepping stones or ground flower designs or maybe floor lights

storm bluff
#

@sage fulcrum why are the rivers a big problem?

sage fulcrum
#

@storm bluff I need rivers but I can’t use that opening which triggers me

wet cliff
#

I made a pond out of one river mouth

stuck trail
#

@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

wet cliff
#

You could have it lead to a waterfall

storm bluff
#

@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

wet cliff
#

How Does Rosies Place Look? Yes @clever plover Did This For Me
@woven drift oh that's a great use for the tree standees!

storm bluff
#

@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.

sage fulcrum
#

I don’t have past maps this is my first map : (

storm bluff
#

@sage fulcrum im talking about other people's maps~ by "past" i mean maps that people have previously posted

wet cliff
#

Wow the rivers look so natural!

sage fulcrum
#

@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

storm bluff
#

@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

sage fulcrum
#

@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 👏

@marsh harness I think that combo sounds lovely!

@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.

@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

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

dull falcon
#

@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.

warm dew
#

@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

@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

dull falcon
#

@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.

The area behind the stone pavement is completely blank though haha

#

I’m making a bridge, which one should I use?

dull falcon
#

@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

@granite spire @dull falcon thank you both!

granite spire
#

@pliant moth you also can work with simple panels and costimize then with bags or other shoping items

dull falcon
#

@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!

tepid marten
