@wheat valley thanks.
Hello guys, any ideas to improve my front yard?
I’m building a carnival
@dark laurel you can probably try adding a fountain, some more of those iron garden benches and natural square garden tables beside them, a garden wagon, and some shrubs
^^ some stalls can work too
thanks for the input @sharp venture
Hey does anyone have any items that they are willing to seek or give that fit in an orchard space
@opal perch wooden fence!
lowkey terrible quality but- it feels like somethings missing 👀
(the pink panda is gonna be switched out for the og panda colors)
@leaden light look great! you can probably add some mush items, lanterns, flowers, custom design stone paths & flowers, and whatnot. i did something similar on my island to the image below so you can probably get inspo from it, not my pic btw ❤️
^^ some stalls, hedges, & shrubs would be great too
anyone got a cottage core cafe?
has someone ideas for a museum entry?
what kind of benches should i use for an area like this?
You should put some iron and stone fences down
@limber ginkgo probably garden benches
My entrance
@paper path
@inner aurora you can peep my museum area if you want :)
@stable iris ty!
Made some adjustments I like it more now and reconsidered tearing it down.
How should i improve my museum area?
I tried to make a carnival, thoughts?
Love my cinema 🥳
Is my bar looking empty, like Should I clutter it up a bit more? If so any ideas?
can i see anyone’s able sisters area?
Looks neater than mine
@nay
@sand dagger i feel like you can rearrange it a bit
And put some seating infront of the stage? Maybe a couple of rattan armchair and a small table.
More barrels by the bar?
@lavish monolith hey! Thanks for the tips 🙂 do you reckon switching the bar to be vertical will help with keeping things tidy but also adding more in? Just worried those panels won’t look right if I do that
Hey I’m looking for inspirational pictures of the shops on cliffs next to the RS. Ive seen some people do it so I bet some of you have it aswell. Like that the incline is right at RS and that the cliff is to the left or right of the RS.
@sand dagger nah i like the bar like that. Maybe move the cypress to the other side by the guitar and put a barrel instead.
@fringe garden can i know how the side looks? on the other side of the waterfall since its quite big o:
Reminder to not advertise your instagram accounts, thanks!
Anyone have any grand entrances? That I can get some pictures of?
Hey y’all, I heard this is where I can get help with starting my island?
@low wyvern for designing it?
Yeah that, and just making more buildings and such
Designing it goes here, buildings come from the game itself, you just gotta advance more
@pulsar plover here’s the view of the part that was covered. It’s hard to get a good image since it takes too much room lol. I don’t have a flyover view yet for it unfortunately.
ahh okay tysm! just trying to get idea on how to terraform my island
Good luck with terraforming I’m sure it’ll turn out cute!!
After you finish the tutorial and have K.K. perform in the town hall you redeem terraforming from nook miles
That was exhausting, but done with entrance! 
Can some one give me some benches or fence I need some
What kind
What do you have I’ll take anything
I have 66 vertical board an 50 simple wooden lying around
Oh how much would you want for the simple Woden ones
is there anyway I can store my flowers whilst I’m terraforming? Or would I have to move them around from place to place?
What's your native fruit?
move them around or having a trashcan ready
Cherries
show me ur museum entrance layouts!! need inspo
Sadly no. The only workaround is making a new villager and having them hoard flowers.
Oh ok
if you want to avoid them spreading, move them to the beaches. they won't duplicate
What do you have To give?
I can give you bells and fruit but I literally just spent 10,000 so I only got 5,180 left
Do you have any stones? cause I already got a load of bells
Just stones?
Speaking of flowers do you guys have a color palette or theme(s) you use for your island? I’m using green(mums), blue(roses, hyacinths) orange(cosmos,tulips) and white
Yeah I need stones
pekoe drinking tea in kabukis yard
need inspo for beach area!! pls drop em here idk what to do in the beach part of my islanddd
anyone have ideas for items that would work in a neon area? i have the palm tree lamp and the neon sign, just need other stuff for variety
Is a food court a good idea if I already have a diner
Hyacinth lamps and mushroom lamps could look trippy in a neon area
whats a nice fence for a diner?
I used hedges> whats a nice fence for a diner?
@glass ginkgo
anyone got any natural/ cottagecore themed cafes?
can someone share their able sisters? i have a rough idea but idk
@woven drift I decorated mine with Labelle
Can someone tell me why these aren’t growing?
show me ur museum entrance layouts!! need inspo
@woven drift
Is a food court a good idea
I know it’s hard to tell, but is there a way I could make this into a nice area for the shop? Or should I try another space on my island
🤔 is it possible to align incline with ables?
probably not since able's entrance is 1 tile and an incline is 2 tiles
isnt ables entrance 3 tiles
Does anyone have any inspo for a cute foresty looking residential area?
@neon glen iirc its 1, but even if it is 3 tiles an incline still wont line up :(
ya i just placed my incline. it's ok tho i think i made it work hahaa
ah ok, nice!
lol 
ha not perfect but at least you made it work
hate this game
Hey yall! So im trying to make this a lil seaside spot 🌊 🧖🏽♂️ the way its uncentered is bothering me..any thoughts on what you would do? Ty😎

able sisters?
Can you guys send me your villagers yards? It doesn’t matter what villager it is...
can anyone find that one person who had like a "sunken" plaza? with cliffs all around it and an incline down to it?
kabuki and genji @tight badge
:0 so nice✨
i wanted to have a path to my shop straight out from my airport but the airport entry is 2 blocks wide and the shop entry is 1 wide.. how could i would around this?
Anybody know how to center a 1.5x1.5 item?
I finished my market 👉👈
I’ll pay someone to help me make a cute ish garden thing and I’ll give you all the supplies
?
does anyone know if the log incline and suspension bridge match in terms of color??
does anyone have a resident services kinda surrounded by cliffs or something similar? i've done some searching but i haven't found what i'm looking for :)
@sly ginkgo IIRC, @scenic blaze has something like that. Check what she posted!
@visual hamlet i saw hers and checked her twitter, it's similar to what i'm aiming for but i was looking for a few more pictures before i start. i actually saw something a while back which i loved but i can't find it now :,)
Anyone have any neighborhood yards inspiration? I plan on making big themed yards for my villagers, I have dobie, bunnie, Rosie, merry, lolly, sherb, marshal , Raymond, lucky and pekoe
can i see yalls ables area? i redid my island, i need inspo 🥺💛
Some of my villagers yard :)
I'm having a terrible amount of trouble with the actual layout of my island's rivers and ponds. I have OCD so I made all of my perfectly symmetrical but now I hate it and can't think of ideas of more natural water ways
hey guy i need help. i am trying to make a zoo and i want to decorate my beach need some ideas from you guys.
flamingos
@tame moat if u wanna make more natural rivers - reference ur map often! dont be afraid to make curves
Not mine but some zoo inspo
@neon glen I will try to make more curves but I usually make the curves symmetrical or boring in a sense lol
@tame moat lots of people do natural islands. Symmetrical isnt bad
Anyone have something like seaport?
anyone have a player cafe house frontyard?
I love this area so much
what could i do w this area? i dont know what to put between the bushes :(
Wish one of those 2 table set looks the best ? D:
why not all? gives more of an impression of an informal banquet
@woven drift I think statues could look good there or maybe some sort of picnic area
thank you!
Np ^-^
How all you islands so nice ;A;
has anyone seen this one picture? it's of the resident services building and directly to the left there are a few shrubs or the bush fence thing, and then behind the building there are some waterfalls. the whole thing has the feel of being sunken and surrounded by cliffs. i will be eternally grateful if someone can find it. (it wasn't posted by mothra from sedum island)
it might be @storm bluff !!! @sly ginkgo
@sly ginkgo hi! here is my rs~ hope it helps
@sly ginkgo I’m sorry but this had me cracking up
@storm bluff oh my goodness that looks amazing!! i think that's most likely what i saw :) thank you so much!! and thanks @tacit oriole
also @scenic blaze ahahah i asked before and everyone was showing yours which is also amazing but different to the picture i was looking for ahah

Hi all! Does anyone have a more natural island? I need to see your map since I'm stuck ;-;
just decided to fully redo a huge chunk of my island (it’s been bothering me for a while) but now the task is so daunting 😭
@vernal trellis if you search "in: island-layouts has: image map" and scroll through photos youre bound to find a lot of good natural map examples
my uh neighborhood entrance 🥺👉👈
@vernal trellis hey! I have a natural island and a very crazy and unorganized map lol. https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1275066317234532354?s=21

@storm bluff @scenic blaze Thank youuuuuuuu!
Am I the only person who hates building cliffs near the beach?
@gaunt grove honestly, i referenced a lot of studio ghibli movie settings and took inspo from animal crossing creators on instagram such as https://instagram.com/jplaysanimalcrossing?igshid=1hgiihv01eqlj and https://instagram.com/jo.crossing?igshid=jbengv793mvi !!

kghfnfg some of these are amazing thank you for the link!
ofc!!!<33
I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS!!! tysm💕
gonna restart my entire island for this aesthetic i stg
hey if anyone has any city theme island please dm me !
im thinking of reseting since ive had 5 stars for a while, finished my island, and got all the villagers id ever want. its getting pretty boring but it just sucks that reseting gets rid of all ur diys. furniture im not too worried about since i can store on a friends island
idk yet tho but i honestly just want a better island map
Anybody wanna come to my island and give me some ideas for my empty spaces. Got 4 stars looking for 5
hi! i need some serious help- how should i lay out my paths? any tips on what to do with my space? island layout is NOT my forte.
Ayo does anyone know how to style an island that has its resident services right next to the airport
can i see pics of the distance
I don’t have my switch on me rn but it’s about three blocks up and three blocks to the right
oh jesus thats rlly close
Ikr it’s too late to reset now oof
how far have you progressed to not be able to?
anyone have a good map with two downwards facing river mouths? im so stuck :(
Finished the main ‘journey’ (getting kk) and I have like 300 hours of fishing with a couple mil bells
I’m JUST now terraforming lol
anyone have any ideas for what to put here 💕
Can’t go wrong with a flower arrangement
@prisma imp a little statue area with a garden bench in white and bushes would be v pretty!
oh wow i meannn ... if you have a friend you could store your current stuff on their island and reset for a better layout or atleast thats what id do. in this case i dont really think diys matter since you probably dont have a lot. only thing youd be losing are your villagers and your fish and bug list
Send pics of your picnic areas - I need inspiration!
and its easy to progress to where you are now atleast to me so you shouldnt have many issues
Yeah I mean I could just have a whole two layer island to block out the fact that it’s so close maybe
Thanks anyways I appreciate it ❤️
np
I wouldnt restart. My resident building is also rlly close to airport and you can work around it and make it look good. :) i would add cliffs and paths around
Yeah I think I might do that, have a path that takes it a longer while to go round to make it seem further away or something
@woven drift if u post a picture i might be able to help :)
Opinions? I am going to add registration behind it like a club! I added blue floor lights as you can see in the second picture!
Made sort of like an outdoors kitchen
What do ya think? :3
I like it!
Thanks!
they’re going to school together lol
I am way overthinking my villager yard layout template. Please help me choose ;-; I think I like #1 the best (maybe without the flooring underneath the chairs in front of the house?) but was wondering what you think 
Opinions? I am going to add registration behind it like a club! I added blue floor lights as you can see in the first picture!
Looks cool
Thanks! I dont know what to use for the registration though
Made a little mini library:3
Space area, too bad i didnt have space suit
Looking for garden inspo! I want to make a big garden with every color of all the flowers in it !
Anyone know how to naturally lay rivers??? I’m having trouble.....
hiii does anyone have any ideas to help my paths look a bit nicer? would be appreciated ^-^
@indigo pulsar maybe could use rope fencing to make those maze-like queue areas leading up to the registration booth? Could be a stall with some simple panels behind it. . . . with a bouncer manequin behind the stall?
It looks pretty nice already! You might need some trees and bushes to make the shape of it less obvious it's
@hidden scaffold I agree with @gleaming bay . Some flowers and things along the path will help contextualize it. Super cute tho!
@pseudo rune your the second person to say simple panels. What do they look like and how do i get them
What could I do for this area
ill for sure add lots of nature to it thanks for the help ^-^
made this garden place earlier and ankha decided to take a picture too🥺
also what can i improve here?
ahh h thats so cute
Please tell me I’m not the only one that spends like 1 hour terraforming a tiny area, then like 3 hours to decorate
Looks like this, you can customize it to look like a wall or window @indigo pulsar
@molten swallow do you have the qr for the picnic?
Cozy little area for beau
just finished this yard, thoughts ?
Where should I put my orchard?
Does anyone have a good outdoor layout using the summer stuff (shell bed shell fountain ext.)
anyone have pictures of a natural animal crossing island?
@junior burrow ill send a dm!
Perfect thanks
Can someone tell me if my Map is clapped or not? X
This one is my music fest venue
Designing this garden area for 5 whole hours and I'm finally satisfied with it. 😁
Does anyone have any advice for my terrace/shop area. Its just not right.. but I dont know how to improve it😫
Any idea of what i should put around liberty
So I'm going with a tropical/ Hawiian theme... how should I decorate villaget houses? I'm not considering what villager lives there. I'm more doing it for the athletic of the island :)
@still patio wow it's super cute! you can tell you've put a lot of time into it! just so you know that sign you have is customizable if you want it to match the theme of the area 🙂
Making a bus stop. Not finished yet
@scenic blaze LOL yeah totally forgot. 😅 Thanks!!
What do y’all think of my entrance
Messy island who dis
Dang it looks so organic, love it
In your own opinion is it better seperating the houses?
For me, no because I like to have them in a section as a tight knit communiy/village thing but if you want to give each house more personality give them more space
here’s my nooks and the dock area next to it 🙂 id like some ideas on how to improve
Does anyone know if it affects the rivers in your game in any way if you do not connect them to the ocean as in this pic? I kind of want to place mine differently and shut the ocean entrances off.
@atomic harness you cant terraform in the beach, so it has to be there
You can’t change the river mouth
thats not what i mean.. like.. i can cut it short... will that affect it?
what does "cut it short" mean in that context
If you mean like section it off then no nothing will change
i know i cant close it completely, i mean.. just leave what has to be there
I hate how u cant move the beach's line
@atomic harness you need to be more descriptive, i dont get the question
@pseudo rune hey what app is this that you’re using?
I don’t think they will ever let us edit the beaches because it acts as a barricade so we don’t glitch out the game by terraforming the ocean
@slow zenith You should try rounding off the edges of the paths 😮
You can close the gap between the land @atomic harness but you cannot create another canal through the sand anywhere else
this is what i mean. is it ok to leave it like this and create a river elsewhere? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/721806385175855224/726083724491620442/IMG_20200626_103706.jpg
@pseudo rune hey what app is this that you’re using?
@rough finch The app is called ACNH Guide
Nothing will happen @atomic harness literally nothing will change
oh. yeah sure, it just looks kinda strange
my entrance, a bit messy but i do enjoy it still
You can
lol ok, thanks
i have a weird question - is there a list somewhere of what furniture you had to make for those three villagers? someone had a stone table and i moved their house and i don't remember who
I really want to do a tropical theme but it’s winter here in the Southern Hemisphere and it’s had to incision a tropical theme
@echo rose thank you!
O’hare’s beach club except its not on the beach
@echo rose thank you!

@atomic harness you can make it a hangout spot or something. eventually that's where i'm putting my museum
awwww 😦 yeah don't think the list exists after houses are built. if it's just one house of the 3 just find which one doesnt have furniture?

@slow zenith thats how my island is, i spent an hour and a half digging up flowers in one section of my island and selling them lol
1/20 of the flowers my whole mountain is full of them and i have an overgrow of roses on the ground
any ways I could improve this graveyard with the limited space? there's a cliff directly to the south and I need more white roses obv

@raw steppe omg really!!! Thats amazing because thats actually the theme of my island!! Thank u so much u made my day! I love the movie as well
@woven drift look up Kalokari. it's an island near italy
Anyone got front yard ideas for TIA
@raw steppe oh nice advice, ill look it rn 👀
@low egret looks cool! my Plaza is a little closer than that but in a similar spot!
Any idea what to do with this little bit of land? It's right outside the airport.
Size = 5x5
Any new votes on this? I think I like #1 the best (maybe without the flooring underneath the chairs in front of the house?) but was wondering what you think villagerthink
Which beach would be best for a:
Lounge area
Bar
Surfing Shoo
Tiki Hut
Front yard ideas for Tia? Or just a tea area?
@frank sandal you could put a little welcome spot there with a stall and brochures and seats?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to use the spiky fencing in a creative way
Hi can anyone help me to design my island, I don’t have any idea what to do , I don’t know how to start
Does anyone have any ideas on how to use the spiky fencing in a creative way
@glossy canyon SACRIFICAL ALTAR
kidding
@fierce heron start at the entrance!
Welcome to the restaurant, may i serve you?
@glossy canyon i used it for my “help a robot destroyed my purple flower garden” area
@low egret i did but then I finished and stopped I didn’t know what to do after
@fierce heron I like making a grand entrance and that’s probably the best place to start terraining
can i see someone’s zen area/garden?
@fierce heron I've always wanted to make an island of islands, using a ton of bridges and fake bridges
@fierce heron start by designing neighbourhoods. I did my near the airport and really concentrated in one area. Then move on to making a shopping district (able’s, nookling’s museum). And you can design a few amenities along the way 
@fierce heron I recommend making a list of some of the things you would like to have on your island (neighborhoods, cafes, star gazing spot, etc.). It will help to figure out how to budget your space
@storm bluff thats cool!
I actually want to but the houses near to each other but not near to the beach
my mini beach carnival 💖
So, Im planning on making a courthouse, any furniture ideas?
alright i made a few changes, feeling pretty good about this layout.
what do you guys think?
@ivory bear i think antique looks good for those type of things
The den desk and the pedestal @ivory bear
@ivory bear den desks , pedestals for the witness stand, antique wardrobes for the sides!!!
if you're taking phoenix wright's courtroom as inspo, also definitely use the champion pennants!!!
I think it will be rather basic, as its mostly being used to fill an empty area I have
Anyone have tips on placing flowers and stuff? Like I'm tryna make a flower garden but it just looks ugly and uncoordinated lol
Anyone have an idea as to how I can layout this campsite area? (Ignore the cliffs, im tearing those down probably: and I’m moving the camp to the beach for now)

Murdering hyacinths part 2
So I recently moved all of my villagers into this neighborhood area and I have this empty area above it. I can’t decide if I want to put the museum there or a small plaza with nooks and ables— which do y’all think I should do?

@midnight jasper what about a playground?
@midnight jasper or a forest-y area leading to campsite
I think a playground would be really cool

@dra.sl#9373 you could put the campsite there!!
yeah
@raw steppe @deep junco @uneven crater @fervent cedar I honestly forgot the campsite was a thing in the game— haven’t had a visitor in weeks :(( but yeah!! I think that’s a good idea— thanks so much ^^
And I’ll probably put a playground there too to give it like a summer camp feel
@midnight jasper i would create a lounge for star gazing! 😄
yay playgrounds!
@manic beacon I already have a place I want for stargazing ^^ thanks for your input tho!!
Does anyone have screenshots or ideas of an outside arcade layout? I have several pinball machines, two giant monster statues, cotton candy machine, popcorn popper, a few other video game items. I just need ideas for layout and set-up.
Does anyone have ideas on what to do with all these weirdly shaped empty spaces? Ty
Idk if to take all this mountain area away after ive de-hyacinthed
good thing tomorrow isnt a fishing tourney cause my beach has every possible building on it LMFAO
@lofty sky you could try a picnic area, zen/spa area, playground, secret garden, or restaurant!
@lofty sky you could try a picnic area, zen/spa area, playground, secret garden, or restaurant!
@river latch ty!!
a little picnic area 🥰 thanks for all the inspo guys! finally have something done on my island lol
Thoughts on how to improve my bakery/ice cream shop?
^^ the icecream cone lights?
i wish we could lawn mower flowers and just kill them in bulk bro... cant afford to keep moving buildings ontop of them to get rid of them in mass
try adding the soft serve lamp!!
It says to add diy stuff to make ur island rate better but i dont really see anything worth making other than the bamboo set :/
@analog aspen omg your picnic area is so cute i love it!! the cutting board matching with the pitcher and picnic set is such a nice touch ~~ also wow HAHA we love eleven!!!
@red briar im legit using a shovel and a bin
@analog aspen your character looks like eleven from stranger things lol
does anyone have a neighborhood layout where each villager has their own yard? if so could they send a pic? thanks!!
If anyone doesn’t mind could you send me a picture of their camp area 🥺 I need major inspiration
ive been doing that for days now... i just started moving buildings at this point on top of them cause im THAT over it @slow zenith
@slow zenith what's your island theme!! if you like the bamboo set, then you might also like using items made with stone (stone-lion dog, tall lantern) and the cherry blossom items!
@lone delta omg nice!!! maybe add wedding cakes from the wedding set, and a brick oven?
@slow zenith @river latch thanks for the suggestion! Have added it and looking better now. 😊 but still find the bakery a little lacking 😢
Hi I'm just wondering why I cant terraform the one block in front of me?the other side of the bridge look fine. Thank you
I was trying to use different sets in different areas @tacit oriole i cant think of how to lay out the shell/summer set, i wasnt here for the sakura/easter sets. And i have nrly the full bamboo set ×_×
any tips/ideas?
@lone delta yeah someone else said this too, you could try wedding cakes! there is also a cart with a loaf of bread on it, i forget what it’s called though.
@lone delta omg seconding ^gracie, the serving cart would look really good there!!
If anyone has a modern city themed island I could really use some inspo😅

Thanks for the input everyone. I combined the two highest voted layouts into one
I am v happy now
@tacit oriole @junior burrow i was trying to dress her like El lol whoever made the custom design for the dress is a genius! it's so spot on 😂
does anyone know some good websites to plan your island layout?
@analog aspen O MY GOD!! CAN I HAVE THAT CODE FOR EL’S DRESS????
@river latch https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
@red briar thanks!
its a lot of work to get it to the point where its 100% your island setup but once you do that its soooo helpful and worth it
@warm mantle sure i'll DM you 🙂
so im using the 'arched tile' path throughout the majority of my island....but i cant decide which bridge type i should pair it with: wooden zen bridge OR the brick bridge....my theme is sort of a european style (big roads, with cafes and seating areas along the water fronts, etc)
Yay
@manic beacon id do the wooden zen just because the brick is a totally different color from the path.. unless you wanted to change your path which it doesnt sound like 😛
@red briar exactly, no plans on changing the paths, i like them. 😛 thanks for the help, ill give the wood zen bridge a go, i was leaning on that side more as well! lol
How can i improve my museum
@red briar would you suggest a different bridge if you had the choice? im curious 😛
@fierce wave could add flowers, benches and fossils
Here is some inspiration (4 star island and not finished
Ok thx
what should i add the waterfall bit
Flowers
@manic beacon when you said european with cafes and seating areas by the water this is what popped into my head.. its been all over reddit but idk if youve seen it !
@red briar thats the very image that i was inspired from
hahaha!! try it with the zen and arched path first because it'll be different from what others have done and i think it's very unique but still a beautiful idea !!!
guys any idea on how to make a bus stop ?? none of the furniture work im so frustrated
@red briar ill give it a shot, we'll see how it looks
@robust cairn people make train stations with the perspective trick, you could try doing that
no i want to go for a totoro vibe
Does this look better
@robust cairn some lecture hall benches or the public bench from nook miles and maybe some simple panels with a QR code of glass or something ???
Anyone would like to come to my island, take a tour and give me ideas for the unfinished parts ? And also ideas to improve what's already done ?
ok ill try the custom panels ,thank youu
I made a secret area w bears and it’s blocked off and u have to get to a higher area to see it I’m 🥺🥺 I feel so proud I might post som pics later 
@robust cairn they used the lecture halls and stalls in this and it looks pretty good!! not mine
I just finished this im hecking proud, just missing the design for the rails
@robust cairn you could use this furniture from the pocket camp collection for the bus stop : ) has some totoro vibes
first thing ive done for my island plan: the farming area 
@fierce wave you can try and be more creative with the waterfall, wide waterfalls looks bland imo
Ok
@fierce wave You can add the Marketplace Decoration items for the upper level
thankyou @worldly compass that would fit greaattt and @red briar yes thats what i was going for thnxxx
Oh u meant the vendor
does anyone have any waterscaping inspo? wanting to do some stuff with ponds/rivers, not necessarily waterfalls and stuff on multiple layers
@fierce wave you can try to mix and match your waterfall like this
anyone have campsite inspo? wanting to decorate but don't really have anything in mind
What type of path should i use for my shopping center
@quartz cliff imo Terracotta works best
can some people send what their “neighbourhoods” look like? i need inspo
can some people send what their “neighbourhoods” look like? i need inspo
@woven drift
ooh that’s really nice ty!
Anyone gots links to tour videos where the entrance leads up into a cliff area?
What would be in a Smug’s garden?
@woven drift what does their exterior look like? or is there anything in their interior that you could match to?
may i see how someone has successfully used a pagoda? the dimensions of it make it strangely difficult to place in a symmetric way!
This is the exterior
has anyone done a canal area?
Anyone got any designing tips?
Interior
Any ideas what to do here? House can be moved!
@woven drift maybe this?
Hmmm I already have a library and cafe and I already have a residential area.... any other suggestions?
Wedding area?
Got that lol
Also have diner shopping area gym tiki bar star gazing ufo sighting, fountain, and campsite lol
A little park?
I did something like this
Can someone please tell me what to do with this area in front of my house I have literally ran out of ideas
Slip and slide all the way down to the south beach in preparation for next weeks update.
@woven drift probably choose a theme you would like? Horror, cute, foresty, tropical, cottagecore, minimal, or abandoned look lol
how wide are bridges?? are they 3 wide or 4 wide?
What should I do for Fauna’s house?
you could do a scenic walkway type of deal, like (idk if you've had this experience but you can look up images) when you drive on the cliffs near the beaches of california @woven drift
they're 4 wide, rip my path and consistency
wait what, they're 3 wide but it's ever so slightly off
they're 4 wide but the bridge's walking part is 2 wide
yeah, wish they were 5 or 3 wide, wish we had more options
lol that's why my paths are all 2 wide
Call me crazy but im debating to move my rocks garden
dock area next to nooks
What flowers should I put outside Fauna’s house?
Looking for ideas for my house front yard. The house is not placed yet and I have a area of 11x13 tiles to fill
I have a zen area around my house
@opal plinth i use orange roses:)
Those look really pretty
Bye entrances! One last look before i destroy it
@granite spire I already have a zen garden on the left and a park on the bottom of this area. Up are the museum and campsite.
Thanks for the idea though ^^
What does everyone nook and able stores outside look like?
the beach LMFAO.... everythings on the beach rn
@thorny bramble can send you a pic if you want maybe you get ideas of it
@granite spire That would be great! Thanks!
anyone have any ideas for what to do with my shops
@thorny bramble
Can I see imagines of people’s zen gardens/areas? Going to make one between my entrance and my market place
Can I tour anyone’s island for a YouTube video? DM me!
Question: How to not have a shite island
just dont 4Head
@tardy helm uhh dont be shit? Dont know how to answer that sorry
lmao
what do y’all think of my shopping area? the trees aren’t fully grown but i think it still looks nice :))
reeeeeeeee i suck so much
@gritty smelt looks good! Even with the mini trees 🙂
Bye entrances! One last look before i destroy it
@granite spire i just destroyed my residential area D:
look wtf i can barely have a functional island and here we have july posting this beautiful thing
@granite spire thank u :))
@twilit lintel still need to start on that
@tardy helm BRO stop 🥺🥺 the rest of my island is empty and bad don’t worry
@tardy helm here is what i bave maybe you get inspo?
@granite spire i moved most of my villagers to their new spot already except 2. now i need to create an actual area for the 2 characters that dont have a spot.
idk man im just not good at these sorts of games. I dont care about the way my island looks to a certain point, i just play the game to have fun, but i would still like something that looks good. Yours looks amazing tho
Should start moving aswell but i want some villagers on a spot like audi by the beach
@tardy helm just have fun! Just tinker around a bit my island was shit aswell had to destroy jt a few times even now im destorying my entrances
@granite spire i have no clue how im gonna create the new area. D:
yee im cccompletely renovating it
Pictures here doesnt say anything yes 1 area looks good but the rest of my island is bare
@twilit lintel i have an idea how i want my entraces but no clue infront on my rs i feel you
@granite spire facts. pictures rly do not say anything about one's island. there's other parts that can be trash lol. also its all about the angles as well
^
@tardy helm i’ve been a huge animal crossing fan since WW and i felt the same way when i started. honestly the way i figures out how to craft my island was watching a lot of island tours and looking at peoples pictures. just remember that no matter what your island is yours and it doesn’t matter if it’s completely decked out or empty. i had to restart my island like 3 times before now crafting it the way that i want.
@twilit lintel nooks really need to hire more ppl to move stuff around dont wanna tt every 2 min 😂
@granite spire for real. he needs to update a lot of things
Can I see people’s entrances! I’m trying to do mine today!
@mortal kettle but im gonna destroy it now
Anybody know what I should put in front of Shep’s house? I
does anyone have advice for making a shopping district?
4 houses down !!
@granite spire Nice!
Owh that looks pretty @wild blade
@wild blade ooo interested to see how this turns out
i cannot decide what the fuck i wanna do so imma just loosely copy an existing island layout
ok I just have this place here and it looks really ugly and I don't know what to do with it help
make it into a small picnic area with a lake?
Anybody have anything besides a stall that could work for reception for a club here? I also need a cool path for the floor
@tardy helm don’t worry about the layout instead focus on building areas you like. The layout will take care of itself.
also this is the island layout imma rip off:

where do yall think i should put my nooks/ables/museum? can i see where theyve been placed in ur islands? nooks and ables dont need to be right next to each other but i prefer them being on the same level at least
so i placed ankhas house on the beach but i need some help decorating! does anyone have ideas on what i should add to the outside
you should add a pyramid or some egyptian themed items
i want to but would that clash with my nature like theme for my island?
@spark plover maybe keeping it simple with hints at egyptian style would be a better fit? palm trees, maybe some gold roses. I think you could still get away with something like a sphinx on a natural-themed island
How does Fauna’s house look so far?
@twilit lintel i have the problem that i want to rebuild but al i do is just watxh my screen 😂
@spark plover this ks my ankha place
can i see some map layouts please
@opal plinth spread the wood flooring a bit more maybe?
is anyone good at making maps on happy island designer? I’m willing to pay in bells to anyone who can help as it really bad and trying to landscape my island completely. PM me if you can
https://twitter.com/tiffacnh_/status/1276567890674606080 can i get any opinions on my new ables design ;u; any suggestions would be appreciated!
@opal plinth spread the wood flooring a bit more maybe?
@granite spire Should I maybe put smaller wood next to the bigger ones to make it look less cluttered?
@spark plover this ks my ankha place
@granite spire THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVE IT
@opal plinth try it!! I use stepping stones and i use diffrent kind of stones to make it look beter
nooks cranny🌴
@neon glen looks good imo!
@molten swallow owh that is cute
@granite spire aw thanks! :))
Should I put my villagers houses together or spread out ? ^^
@woven drift i have them togother but spread out
I don’t have any before pictures but I swear there where so many flowers and I cleaned this area spotless. Lmao you can see filbert by the tree.
Oke i prob should start building my new entrances 😂 gl all!
@opal plinth try it!! I use stepping stones and i use diffrent kind of stones to make it look beter
@granite spire oki, tysm for the advice
I met this cute guy today and I’m in love, he’s staying forever
Np! Hope it turns out good @opal plinth
HI! I have a DIGUSTING 4 star island and was wondering if anyone with a better island than me

ajdskjsjfj no my incline isnt aligned

sitting area with a couple potted plants, those cute airport panel QRs, a snack and drink machine
My entrances is now offical gone now i need ideas 😂 what do ppl have?
Here's my out door beach side gym just wanted to share
@neon glen i literally just went and checked on my bridge i built yesterday and its the most off centered thing ever and idk how bc i literally had it centered. tom nook be messin with us

Could anyone help me with making my island look pretty? I can provide the materials (mostly I hope) and I can pay in bells or tickets but preferably bells.
So I love stuffed animals and I was thinking of making an area around that. Idk, just an idea.
make a build a bear
@simple goblet I can help!
what set should i use for the sitting area? 
pictures b4 i destroy incline again ahsjdhdj
I could make a chill area with stuffed animals all over the place
But I have to clean and make the foundation I want first before pulling off these ideas
i just want mush recipes
@neon glen why are you destroying? That looks great 👍
it,, doesnt align w my other incline LMAO
Hi all! I was wondering if anyone had some rustic neighbourhood ideas that I could use as some inspiration?
punching the wall rn
no punch chan instead
does anyone have any pictures of their campsites?
@exotic barn
@exotic barn sorry it’s dark
Thanks guys!
here’s my starbucks cafe thingy!! really proud of it 🥺 hope it inspires someone!!
This is my museum cafe any thoughts that can make it better
perhaps some miscellaneous things on the tables? flowers maybe as well? @timid falcon
Gothic forest island https://youtu.be/PzWO6-10GxE
This is the island of Starbay! The front half of his island has natural but gothic style elements, but as you go father into the island it represents the old woods that him and his cousins would share lots of happy memories in!
This is a 5 star island in the Northern Hemisphe...
I have flowers near the cafe already but I could put some on the table @dark geyser thanks
@cjd#8420 pathing will always make things pop
this is the zen garden at the start of my park! any ideas on how to make it better? i think it looks a bit empty but im outta ideas
@soft holly I’ve seen a lot of zen gardens with sand on the ground and garden rocks 🙂
does anyone have a layout That’s zen garden themed with lakes :))
all done with my entrance!
LF inspiration for any mush themed areas of an island:)
Start of my new entraces after looking st it for 10min haha
@bitter inlet I love the campsite!!!
ty :>
I’ve come to the conclusion I’m not meant to design sigh
@tacit wing relatable
Is anyone living in the southern where jts winter I can visit, rlly wanna experience winter without time travel
😭
I made this entrance and it wasnt too hard, the only hard part was the blue roses lol
hi so i roughly planned my island out on island designer and im pretty happy but i feel like theres still room for improvement so any constructive criticism would be highly appreciated
Tiki bar 💕
anyone doing island tours?
my entrance so far
the resident services and museum area is meant to be very urban and city like (fully done) and i plan on making each group of houses a different district
I’ve moved my villagers houses around a million times still can’t get it planned to not take a lot of room. Can I see your guys villager areas
Entrance
ok so all of my villagers are living in one area and im planning on giving everyone a small fenced off front yard. should i give everyone matching fences or match the fences to their house?
Does this set up look okay for my villagers houses? Should i expand it?
anyone with a centered town hall wanna share their entrance?
i made a little cafe in front of my museum in honor of brewster !
My initial layout sucks and I can’t figure out how to design it and RS is in the way and you can’t move it ugh
@midnight jasper marching fences might look better, but maybe try both and see which one u like more:)
what can i add to this place
@tacit wing super simple 6×5 yard enough room for some life but not taking up half my map
Does anybody have a market area that they wouldnt mind sending pictures of? Any inspiration would help me a ton ❤
Entrance
@radiant nexus that’s cute and simple I like it
@signal oxide not sure if you meant lime stall’s or nooks, but here is nooks hahah
@north vigil mines pretty centered
Stalls preferably, but that looks great too!!
@wheat torrent im thinking of giving all of them maybe either the stone fence, zen fence or iron+stone fence? that way theres some variety but still matches the same color scheme-- do you think that would look good?
Y'all r so talented 😡💕
@signal oxide here's my market on Old Eden
@midnight jasper iron/stone fence might look really cool!!
I want all my houses in the same level. 3 in 2 rows 2 in two rows. How far apart should the houses in front be from the ones behind it?
ppl liked Kidd’s view, so here’s some of my other villager’s views (their yards aren’t finished yet). The other three on the right side have beach views but the beach isn’t done so I can’t show it~
@wheat torrent thanks for your input!! ^^
hi can anyone show me their neighborhood area for inspo?
OMG WHAT
Can I see someones shopping area? Mine are really boring right now
@bitter inlet THAT IS SO GOOD
ty :>
Having a centered RS entrance is harder than I thought😅 anyone wanna share what they did?
I wish my RS was centered
@bitter inlet great job!!
i have a centered rs
does anyone have any medival/ kingdom inspo
I made this for some of my villagers
i have a centered rs
@spark plover could you share your entrance?
Those are how i did my vilaggers still need to fill them up
This is how i decorated them
Hey, I need some help. I want a residencial area where every villager has about the same space and layout but I change the flowers matching theirs and also decoration.
But my current layout seems too claustrophobic to put decorative items also I'm not sure about the fences. Suggestions pls?
the fact that ik all those villagers solely by their houses >.<
@lime merlin look above i just send mine 🙂
I actually did after posting and I'm loving your ideas!
this is my entrance!
I love LUCKY
cool
Entrance, finished? (inspired by posts from Japanese AC community)
ignore the flowers in the back
Hi everyone. Does anyone know if there is some sort of way/service for other people to redesign your island?? I am not creative at all and even when I use other islands as inspiration it still ends up not being great 😦 I’ve considered restarting my island because of how much I dislike my layout and terraforming gives me anxiety, even when I map out what I would want.
Does anyone have any shops inspiration? I'm not sure what to do for them yet
Same fence for villagers houses or different? They live in same area on same level
@mystic carbon there are nookazon sellers that offer that but that is not a service available on this server. join nookazon server and ask in there!
@tacit wing
I would do the same fencing so it looks like a real district
@scenic blaze thank you!
got kermit's approval, ty my day is made
hahahaha
Should i do mushrooms or street lamps? Both are white
Mushrooms
Which sign color? Help
white
White
White
Wait... they have different things written on them. Heck
does anyone know someone who can decorate my island for me for nmts?? please dm me if so!
Where do you get those signs? @crisp oasis
@cinder ridge nookazon
What should I put on this little platform?
Maybe a little beach bar??
Cute! I’ll see what I have
i despise flat islands (no offense if you have one :p) and too-constructed islands ex. straight edges, squares (also no offense if you have one) but my resentment towards them have caused my island entrance to have multiple little cliffs and waterfalls surrounding it and i have no idea if it's too much. can someone maybe come and visit to critique it? (and maybe also help me with some design ideas and layout thank you bye) dm me :D
@lusty trellis I LOVE that
@lusty trellis What path did u use?
It's not mine! Hold on lemme get the path code for you :) I found it on reddit
Ok
MA-0530-9650-9120 is the path code!
@lusty trellis Thx🙂
Thanks!
What could I put in this empty area?? It's near a river so its kidna hard to think of something, plz help
That’s so crazy lol bc my island is mostly flat atm and is basically all straight lines 😳
@craggy grail a tiny library or a place for picnic
I’ve done one side of Tia’s yard, but idk what to do on the other. Any suggestions? And also ideas on what I can add to the side I’ve already done will be great as well 😊
I haven't displayed any furniture yet, but this is what it looks like so far.
@woven drift that looks really neat, i can picture it looks even better when you place out stuff, also ✨Happy birthday✨♥️♥️
@woven drift This is off topic and I apologize but I wanted to ask if today's actually your birthday, and if it is... happy birthday! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you! And I apologize for the bad camera quality.
Anyone have a picnic custom design?
Beau likes his new house area ❤️ I love him 😊
wow! looks amazing!!
Dumb question but will a tree fit in between here
Which sign color? Help
@crisp oasis omg could i have the code for the rainbow tiles? 🥺
no. I'm not sharing my designs.
damn
ok
Can someone come over and give me ideas on how I should do my island? I’m stressing out. I’ve been designing since June 1st
ok, so random question, if I were to go for a fancier (like french garden) theme for my entire island, what do I need other than flowers, statues, and hedges/bushes?
Iron bench. Iron chair and table in white
@woven drift maybe some white iron garden benches would look really good.
does anyone have the code for the cute dirt path thats popular rn🥺
i have the awkward space behind 2 houses, i have a little stage area but it seems a bit off to me. what should i add, and what should i get rid of?
@forest fulcrum thanks for the advice. Also, if it were my design (and take this as you will), I would put some chairs near the stage if you can fit them, and put down a stone path for them to rest on, or continue the wood path you have
@woven drift aaa! good idea! thanks! :))
No problem. Happy to help/return the favor
Wich tree, palm tree or oak? I’m having some trouble deciding. Lmk
let the fun begin
oak
@forest fulcrum also...if you really wanted to go overboard, you could get an arch/simple panels to go behind it...but only do that if you have designs that work for a stage.
i slapped a cute filter on doms garden and i love it
@woven drift mm yeah, thank you so much. i think i have an idea now :))
Yep. np
Do i have to demolish stairs / bridges to make paths flush?
paths dont go under stairs welcome to hell
can anyone help me with design ideas and layout? my entrance is so close to rs 😦
any tips appreciated
you can do 4 squares under bridges !
What can I do with this area 🤣
you can have it go under the bridge but not the stairs LMFAO
So I have to demolish the bridge then rebuild it?
nooo just literally go up to it and slap it down 😛
paths dont go under stairs welcome to hell
@red briar cackling at this
I like this area but it is definitely missing somthing, lmk if you have any ideas
tom nook lives to make us triggered
This is not working omg 🤣
@clever stream moon chair!
CAUSE ITS AN ANGLED ONE... I - ;LSDFJL;KSJ
@gusty veldt oooo good idea! :0
@clever stream maybe a picnic basket?
Anybody got any ideas or suggestions as to what I should do for my small entrance between the dodo and the town hall
@verbal bear maybe a nice sitting/park area? alternatively you can try to set up something for trades if you do a lot of those
Has anyone tried to create a heart shape in their rivers?
i did it by accident once
Thanks so much @floral gorge
So if its angled there's no way to make the path flush?
I finished my entrance so far! I'm super happy with it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibYcTBy3ndw
@void venture
How to make an easy lake in Animal Crossing New Horizons ~ enjoy ♡
Oh I know how to do that, but i mean while creating your rivers, do you just make hearts inside them if that makes any sense
@chilly sparrow you can't make it "flush" with an angled bridge because there isn't a full tile under the bridge for the path to go to, bc paths can't be placed on half tiles. you kind of have to embrace it with angled bridges. here's how i did one of mine, you might find it helpful.
you could probably do that by just connecting water to the sides
woops read it wrong!! i did it once i made a square and then destroyed the top left corner so it looks like a V. it isnt perfect because its only 3 squares but it looks cute in game
My enterance however I may change a few things like the garden lamps and the flowers
@floral gorge
looks nice!
Thoughts on my outdoor pizzaria lovingly called “Between the Cliffs”?
@rancid spire such a cute idea!! I’d pop in a waterfall or two but that’s just me🤷🏼♀️😂
@void venture
@gusty veldt ooo I think I’ll do that!
That's a little sad but those designs seem pretty good
does this look cute so far?
lolly
wow i regret knocking that down now... i dont want to rebuild it
anyone have any ideas for what i should do on the outside of this area? all it is outside of the pic is just blankness and i have no idea what i should do with it.
@amber shale are you going to put something on top of the waterfall?
@indigo bay I would create some mountains and cool landscaping on them with waterfalls trees and flowers 🙂
Does the airport look lined up with the resident services area in this bottom map?
it does but idk if the path is perfect or 1 square off lmfao
resetting 😭
@sage jasper if you walk straight up from the airport ramp to this resident services, it'll bring you into the side of RS if that matters to you
lmfao tiff
@scenic blaze Do you know what a lined up version looks like?
I want to build a beach party area here. The white lines show where pashminas house will be located. Any ideas?
hi! does anyone have beach entrance examples?
@sage jasper draw a mental straight line from the airport entrance to RS. this one is a little wavy bc i'm using a mouse but you see what i mean
🤔 how long hav u been resetting for a map u like lol
@gusty veldt im kinda concerned on doing that because of the two little mountains i have now, it might end up looking kinda weird. Maybe I should just remove those two altogether and then adding those cliffs?
lMF;AK;L tea
@scenic blaze Ahhh, I see.
anyone have ideas for this? feels pretty empty but idk what to add other than more flowers. it’s judys house if that helps inspire ideas related to her
@neon glen I've been resetting for at least an hour now. 😔
undoing paths makes me never want to put down another path again
hsjdjsk owch
@granite lagoon nova lights
i have too many things on my island i cant reset dbsjjd
@neon glen I transferred stuff I wanted to keep to a friend's island and I'll pick them up later. 😂
@indigo bay I think you could pull off leaving the waterfalls! Here is an inspo pic I have for my entrance 🙂
yea i cant be bothered to do that LMAO
Villa de shell!
@granite lagoon Something like this?
Literally same
@granite lagoon Or this
@thorn fjord i’d love to add some but haven’t found the recipe yet😅
i can craft a birdcage for u if u have mats! to anyone who wants
@granite lagoon I have a lot extra
do u want me to craft it 4 u 🤔
@woven drift omg yes! tysm, i got a few ideas from it❤️
omg maybe
Okay, I think this one is lined up?
well hmu in a week when i get to the fun decorating parts right now itd just join the other shit all over the beach LMAO
whats a good bridge to use when its a tropical island?
@gusty veldt how close is ur entrance to ur rs? mine is v close
@sage jasper i think you got it!
also can anyone help me figure out y i can’t post pics here?
one week later “ive flattened my island again”
LMFAO'WEOFLISDJNG;KM dont come for me like that
@twilit lintel the second one
@soft belfry mine is a good distance away...send pics when you can!
@woven drift ty!
Added some waterfalls and Nova stars! Thoughts?
move some of the flowers to the other side 😦
The flowers are on a cliff full of other flowers. The other side is still in planning
@rancid spire i think instead of the nova stars, you should plant some flowers.
ooooo nvvm ignore me
@indigo bay what kind of flowers should I put? I’m thinking red hyacinths to match the ones on the tables but I’m not sure
@rancid spire i was thinking like any flower but in like a rainbow order. but the red hyacinths would look real pretty too!
this looks so awesome
@indigo bay sweet! Thank you
@woven drift Are you going for a natural look or...?
Hi hi, can I have some input on this one please?
Cafe is pretty much done but somethings missing idk what though
People?
@radiant nexus maybe put hedges on the left side too?
maybe have the middle tables not a coffee or flower but like a book or notebook or essay set
@woven drift Well this issue is deff how you set it up. Im not filmier with cottage core but I think you put a little too much thought into it. It doesnt flow very well, specially the part with the two circle lake surrounding the houses
Does anyone have any cute diner designs 😊
@woven drift I understand its not the houses that bother me its just that particular section of the river
@woven drift i think the rivers on the bottom level look good, and i like your big splat lake. the rest of the river on the second level doesn't have as natural of a flow, and it ends abruptly on both the ends where it forks off, so i would focus on reworking that part, and be proud of the lower level part!
Can someone come to my island and help me decide if I should fill in the beach with just rocks?
I’ve been looking for cozy island ideas but I can’t really find any can someone help me out?
I need to move my nooks cranny but my layout is really ugly and I have no space
for everyone that is kinda stuck in decorating, don't think too much about it and just randomly throw objects of a certain color scheme! light sources are awesome for decoration and look great at night, for example snack machines, streetlamps, garden lanterns, floor lights, star clocks, nova lights, tiki torches, lanterns (usually for inside the house but u can use them outside too).
holy water
also, i totally recommend using inside decoration for outside corners u guys create (-: for example the complete rattan set is awesome for a spa/waiting waiting/beachy type of thing or the antique set for a serious outdoor library. u can also implement two types of theme so for example rustic with diner set (choose a rustic-ish color) or cottagecore with an outdoor pool gathering place.
@woven drift it'll come together.. without cliffs and pathing most maps look a little off. mine would look a hot mess without those two even though my water is cool!
as u guys can see, i have random stuff here like an iron chair, a wooden bookshelf, a plain wooden sink, a tiny library, a streetlamp, a cacao tree, and water pump, a hand cart... these are things you wouldn't normally put together but since they all fit a certain color scheme and theme, it all comes together!
pls mothra ur a goddess
@limpid turret at first I was surprised but now I don’t think I hate it, honestly would love to see your island in game x)
don't be afraid to use designs on the floor also, they add a little bit of spice and dimension to the paths!
anybody have inspo on how they designed around their residence services!!?
@scenic blaze lol I feel like my island has too much pathing and looks too brown, I hate it
@graceful charm I made mine an island
@amber shale my island is even worse, and I’m 1/2 done with it
@woven drift i am a big fan of entrance cliffs! they're really interesting in-game and add a lot of visual interest to the map.
@weary vale love it!!
@graceful charm
Made this today. As a Zelda fan, I can't help but be so in love with the little area 🥰
@thorn fjord omggg but that must have taken toooo long lmao
bad news is i just removed my south river lake but i don't have an updated map screenshot yet 
Didn't there use to be a master sword in NL? Would be awesome if we could get that and place it outside
@scenic blaze hurry up i wanna see it
@weary vale too much pressure ma'am
saw mothras map.... im done for today bye
no come back
@chilly sparrow yeah they had a whole bunch of cool nintendo items. Hope they're coming back
lmao same @red briar
i actually saved it 😭also i just realized we have the same map layout omf
Can I see what people did with here villagers in a village form where all the houses are in the same area?
ours is really similar but you have more space between airport and RS and i'm jelly
@stoic knoll i used to have a neighborhood, it was a cute layout just didn't fit my island.
r u kidding . .
I like this little corner opposite my entrance, just feels a little empty- kinda want to put something higher on a cliff but am not sure what to do with it rn
the crescent moon is dope
like damn we have almost the same entrance @scenic blaze
can hardly make a damn heart let alone a FriKiN MOON
Moon map 👁️ 👁️
@scenic blaze thank u!! im still trying to finish it but that huge 2nd tier is a massive flower garden with all of the flowers in the game and i don't want to get rid of it 😭
anyone with experience in island planning plz dm me, i can pay u for ur time
what i did was check off every single square in my ipad while terraforming it lmao
@autumn dragon mine felt empty too (same location - corner by airport) so I added flowers and a silo on top of a little reading area
LJFA;D;OI i cant make that even with instructions lmfao
I have my neighborhood on the left hand side with a common hangout area and a tiki bar on the beach. I can send you more pics if you want!
@stoic knoll
Silo is a good idea, i might use that ty!!! @royal matrix
should i make a build a bear? is it a good idea?
silos are freaking awesome to add depth, and jail bars too
@graceful charm I like that type of layout it gives you a daily flow as you move from your house
what i did was check off every single square in my ipad while terraforming it lmao
@amber shale
@chilly sparrow exactly, wanted everyone near me haha! thank you!
looking to make a suburb island, what kind of spacing should i have for my roads, 3 squares + 1 more square for sidewalk or what is good rule of thumb?
Look at my layout.

@woven drift ty sm i was really struggling esp cause of the rs

do u have pic?
@remote hatch
@amber shale yeah thats v cute and effective for trades
I’m trying to make a neighborhood for all my villagers in the back do you guys have any idea how much space do I put in between each house
@woven drift i love these omg! do u have any idea on how i should form my entrance too? i keep posting these sorry but this is also where i’m stuck
Can anyone help me with an entrance idea
@soft belfry here then use some more cliffs to cave a pathway y know
@amber shale yeah thats v cute and effective for trades
@remote hatch at the end i never use it for trades but i really want to so i might change it up a bit just so people know thats where u should drop the items
@woven drift ur 100% right abt more cliffs. should i do anything to the one behind? also do u think i can fit a bridge cause of how close the rs is
entrance is a lil hub
how did everyone do their villager house layouts ?
@woven drift i love these omg! do u have any idea on how i should form my entrance too? i keep posting these sorry but this is also where i’m stuck
@soft belfry for one you should link your waterfalls so they connect and add custom water puddle paths, and leaves, flowers, Bush, you should also add decoy ducks, and make a nice lake at the bottom. To make it pop you can make a middle tile In the lake land and add a statue, to develop that more you could add the lake into two small streams, going down left and right towards the airport, then add 2 diagonal zen bridges, one going to RS, and one to the other side. Finally add bench’s and plants
@soft belfry of course you can fit a bridge just watch a tutorial on YouTube on how to make a diagonal bridge| for the one behind more flowers/bushes would look very nice
do u guys have any crafting area around ur island?
@woven drift @junior burrow you guys are amazing
Does some have a way from entry to service center my Entry
@soft belfry keep us updated 🥺
@woven drift @junior burrow you guys are amazing
@soft belfry np!

what's some good furniture to put in my entrance?
what's some good furniture to put in my entrance?
@robust mist what’s your theme?
@woven drift mostly just forest, I'm not sure yet just started terraforming
@young harness i don't have much of one, if i had to choose it would be like natural/celestial ?
I want to put an art garden somewhere but im not quite sure where
here’s some I found @maiden hedge (the last one is mine lol) just put the flowers you would like 
ooohhh it looks really pretty! tyvm! @woven drift
Guys i need some inspiration I havent played in weeks and am really good at doing interior but exterior is lacking
Any help? :(
does anybody have an idea for an item that i can use as a cashier?
@obtuse egret like a cash register?
yes
@young harness i don't have much of one, if i had to choose it would be like natural/celestial ?
@robust mist hm, maybe garden lights so it looks aesthetics pleasing at night and if it’s natural make a row of trees leading to the first split of pathways, maybe leave one away so you can put that garden next to the entrance. I’m not the best with entrances but I hope this was slightly helpful
does anybody have an idea for an item that i can use as a cashier?
@obtuse egret A diner uniform outfit on a mannequin lol
fax machine
try a typewriter or a fax machine
._.
This is bob's (Glitched to look like lolly's) house so far, any advice?
@young harness my res services is super close to my entrance so i don't have enough space to do much. thank you for your advice though!
@cunning badge blue flowers/bushes is needed :0
oki
My cyber-punk city in the making.. any tips?
Anyone have any cute castle inspo pics?
@woven drift what's your island theme?
I dont really have one
I restarted a while ago and took some items with me
I am still deciding between royal, tropical or adventury
@cunning badge here’s a more detailed picture of what I think would look good
ok thank you!
Making a fruit/flower themed cafe, this what I have so far, just found out peach chairs can’t be accessed easily like the Apple chair and mum cushions can also looking for suggestions on what else to add
new and improved library, the rug really tied it together
@cunning badge and some white flowers srry I keep @ u lol
it's ok-
well, for royal i would suggest using a lot of stone items and the iron and stone fence. looks really castley. the gold chair DIY also would be good. using a lot of dark, richly colored flowers, like the purple and blue roses and windflowers, will help it look more regal. don't be shy with the gold roses either.
for tropical, definitely a lot of palm trees and coconut and bamboo items are in order. find some beach chairs you like and the cypress tub item to create a nice little resort.
for adventurey, don't be shy with trees, especially palm trees and pine trees. getting some bug models to place around would be really cool too.
The issue is that i want to make my Island cramped and narrow but i figured with time that it Looks wheird and maybe i'll redo it all again-

@fallen oyster what's your theme?
I was thinking alien invasion is that possible?
Haha i thought about that too
Or foreign planet
oh that's a cool one! hmm, you would probably need a lot of pattern codes to pull that off. i don't know much about those, but i like your idea! sorry i couldnt help more!
Have stocked Up on UFOs Just in case
I’ve asked in this chat but got no response. I’m completely restarting my island (getting rid of everything so it’s flat) and I have a basic idea for a theme but I have no idea how to terraform it or make a map in animal crossing happy island designer. I also kinda need theme ideas (based around fairytale and creepy but anything else is appreciated) so yeah please message me haha
Creepy fairytale is a difficult one
Yeah, I really need some suggestions, I want it to be kinda pastel and mysterious
I'll get rid of my Island too
Well a pink robot hero in a forest would be nice,
