@slim prairie hi scroll up in this channel, I tagged you in the message on how to see the other channels.
Help.
@slim prairie what do you need help with?
does anyone have some good museum design inspiration?
@warm echo if you type in the search bar “in:island-layouts has:image museum” you will find a lot of pictures for inspiration!
@woven drift I pick a color scheme for an area and use flowers within that color scheme as decor
What should I do with all the empty space by my campsite
@clever pagoda A forest!
Like what kind
Cedar or hardwood or maybe an orchard would be nice 🙂
K
I need some help! I feel it’s too blank or idk. Inspo is above and mine is the screenshot. My pink shrubs haven’t grown yet. I don’t wanna copy it entirely so I made my own version. But I need more help 🥺
how do i make this area look decent 😂 any suggestions on what to do with this area? i have a tropical theme :))
You can plant coconut trees on sand for even more tropical
Using a mixture of bright flowers (yellow, orange, pink tulips, purple, blue) tends to give a more tropic vibe imo
@faint arrow looks cute! Maybe try some fencing in between the trees and around the other side? Also maybe add some rattan baskets for towels and a stall with drinks?
@grim stag palm trees and more flowers! also you can use a cute custom path over the sand to guide towards the stairs 🙂
Did some recording last night
Thanks chids 💕 @woven drift
you're wonderful @woven drift 🥺 ❤️
@woven drift I’m hungry now 🍨
@limber ginkgo sans post-box now 🙂
I traded it for Harv
I have an inspiration for my island.
a japanese, slightly futuristic city, lofi town.
but I have no idea how to put that into animal crossing, please.
someone help, or give advice
thanks
Can someone help me please? I am looking for White Street lamps I need as many as possible I am willing to trade but not sure where to post this in as am still new to using this app 🤦🏻♀️ dm me if anyone can help me please. X
Need some campsite ideas
@alpine sable #cataloging would be the most logical place to ask
i have white street lamp
white streetlamps can't be cataloged, #furniture-trade is your best bet
Thank you all 😊
anything can be cataloged tho?
I mean it can be, but what's the point if it's a nook miles redemption item?
nevermind, I dont really care I just need advice on my island
on how to put something into it, I’m shit at terraforming and I would like advice so ^^
where can i see all the different starter islands?
looking for someone to come let me tour their (preferably 5 star) cottage core inspired island! i can pay bells or maybe a few nmt for letting me come! i’m not gonna stay long just to get a tour and go shopping.
can someone help me design my island?

@rose dune this post has all the river and res services layouts AFAIK, but things like airport location etc aren't included here. https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/g7mc0c/all_possible_default_map_layouts/
i dont wanna mess this up and ive done it twice before smh
@woven drift if you want a neighborhood-type layout, i'd put them in the top right and terraform the cliffs and rivers to be more even. if you want a natural layout, i'd scatter your villagers into different places where they might fit on the map
@lament seal i would start by watching island tours, youtube has a lot of urban japanese towns, just watch a lot of tours and see how other people do things
Some inspo from my island, Majula

@scenic blaze
Thank you.
@woven drift I love your rock garden
@woven drift my house was one of the last things i figured out... it'll come naturally once you start working on your layout for a while
Thinking about it... where is your house?
@versed wadi lol it has travelled all over the map but right now it's in the middle
i'm sure i'll change my mind about that somehow and move it again 20 thousand times
Your map gets better everytime i see it
i appreciate u bc i still feel weird about it losing the little lake
i’ve looked all over and can’t find a single soul with the same map layout as me (starter)
This looks more natural to me.
yayy glad to hear. and bonus it has like 120873108123 times more space because that lake took up so much room
@rose dune post it here, what are you looking for?
@versed wadi i’ve terraformed the whole thing lol i just wanted to find a pic of my starter map so that i can sketch a new layout
this just looks so boring
Anyone have an example of a villagers home with fencing and stuff inside the fencing?
They are somewhat procedurely generated
wish we could move the airport
yours is similar to mine except your res services is a little farther from the airport
Anyone have an example of a villagers home with fencing and stuff inside the fencing?
@minor cloak
if i were you i'd just use the happy island designer and place your airport, res services, and river mouths, and just go nuts. you don't really NEED your default map to sketch a new layout
@woven drift thank you
happy island designer..? well that’s new
i spy rudy 🧐
Happy island designer is awesome. Works on pc for best results
it's been around since march, there's a link in the pins somewhere
Its laggy for me on pc.
@rose dune you can see alot on happy island designer
Honestly, I just drew a square on a paper, blobbed in my unmoveable landmarks, and went from there... very low tech
ahh disc only updated was seeing chats from 40 mins ago lol
i stick a screenshot of my map into Paint and use the dropper tool to match colors and draw on top of it
big brain
i feel like once i get terraforming imma get rid of all the water and make one fishing spot towards the middle- idk if thats a good idea tho-
you can always change it if you don't like it 🙂 i think it sounds interesting!
thats true-
just remember that you can't remove the river mouths where the rivers meet the ocean, and they tend to look better with some water attached, so maybe a little waterfall or a small river attached to them, and then the big fishing spot in the middle 😮
how long do you think it’ll take to flatten the top out?
ooh i gotta keep that in mind
probably a couple hours
😦 ffs
@versed wadi can i have the link of the yt island tour i saw ppl talking about 🙂 im curious
animal crossing has some odd mechanics so im not 100 sure how long it will take
i still gotta get rid of all the flowers and trees too:((((
terraforming is not fast lol. it took me like two hours to remove a cliff and build two new ones last night
@paper path yes and it a horrible job not gonna lie
you're looking at good day's work right there
Yeah the flowers are the painful bit
atleast you have something to do i guess ??
In case you haven't mass cleared flowers yet, I suggest carrying a garbage can around and binning them for the quickest clear
Yee
i play like 8 hours a day usually lol so like, like why cant we put flowers in storage
ya know how when you build inside you can move stuff by dragging it- i think that would be nice for building in general- it would be a ton easier
@proper grove that a 200 IQ suggestion
If I have to clear an area I save ONE pocketful for duping later if I needed, everything else goes in the bin
i finally got a gold rose growing :))
wohoo!
are blue pansies worth keeping?

thank you!
@paper path maybe throw a handful on your beach for now
@paper path i'd suggest keeping one or two in case you need the petals for a DIY recipe
tyy ^^
Does anyone have any beach inspo for a cottagecore/natural theme??
my beaches are a mid terraforming disaster zone of misplaced houses, extra flowers, and tears...
That is a big mood
mines almost like that @proper grove
I got my campsite, 2 houses and my museum on the beach with flowers but with the update i should probably sort it a little
if you want to go natural, maybe lots of palm trees, and shells
@slender tulip i kept my campsite on the beach! https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1277240117040541698
also, do any of your villagers interiors have the sandy floor? I put those houses on the beach
i've dug up flowers, can i terraform thru the holes in the ground or do i have to flatten it with my shovel?
Oh i like that idea ty!
gotta close them. Just fly to a mystery island and come back, or tt forward a day if it's a LOT
I'm aiming for all deer so no ahah
I put mine on the beach too, I’ll get some pictures when I play again which who’ll be soon
IDEAS FOR A THEME PARK???
TEA CUP RIDE
wait @proper grove did you say if i go to a mystery island the holes will close?
Probably do a ticket booth
does anyone have like ideas to fill up big empty spaces
@paper path yeah I'm pretty sure, or a friends island? I think leaving and returning will wipe them... definitely tt forward will, and MAYBE just quit and reopen game?
okay ill try it now
They also go away if you save and reload the game.
they dont go from a mystery :((
@paper path u know u don't need ur shovel to close holes right?
@woven drift yeah but i had 120+ holes to close
Aahh I see, I'm sorry lol
you can also just wait a day and they will be gone
yeah you can just save and close and load up again that worked
o did not even know that
neither did i till just now
Can anyone show their map layout, I have no idea where to put my campsite
nice, I knew one of those had worked for me last time I tested it haha
Please could we keep extended unrelated discussion to #acnh-chat⛱️
It’s just so we don’t deter anyone from sharing their media. Thanks!
I mean, it was a layout related discussion, he's terraforming...
but it wasn’t related to something someone shared Dex
it was... a while back he shared a map photo...
I have explained my reason, lets move on 
I think my road needs to go. I really want a city vibe, but summer beachy is hittin too good
https://twitter.com/damxian/status/1278469591392374785
@woven drift if you search "in:island-layouts has:image map" you can see all pictures of maps that have been previously posted
Why do y’all have such great islands me over here with my Trash Land

@marble sapphire cities are tough... they depend so much on custom designs. i like the summer beach so far, good use of items
opinions on this? i just did it so i’m not sure what should i change
Start with a tiny area, just have fun @halcyon mural
raining season is the worst there is flower everywhere
I’ll try 
@woven drift it’s the worst season
@eager burrow those are cute little beach houses! I love the path coming from behind and under the arch
@scenic blaze Thanks! i wanted to throw a few things around, I took inspiration from youtube.
@woven drift i like the tiki bar! i'd space out your areas a little more so you can fit more themed items in each space, like put the fishing stuff in a different spot on the beach and make the tiki bit larger
Going to put garbage bins all over the place to keep these flowers in check 
@scenic blaze tysm! i’ll definitely try
@proper grove Thanks! The four shell speakers are playing "only me" and you can hear it playing from every area in the beach area
I just... ALWAYS have a bin in my pocket... haha
clearing old areas to make new stuff is so annoying
Hey guys! Im really stuck on what to do on the dead spaces on my island. Any suggestion or idea are greatly appreciated!
maybe picnic area ?
forests, parks, fishing spots
@granite brook here's a list of some creative ideas, maybe it'll help spark something!
a little Gym area too
those are great ideas

Ty all so much!
This is My Entrance
anything I should add 
@halcyon mural really cute! i like how natural it is! maybe a dark dirt path in the area under the benches? you can also customize those benches if you didn't know 
Look at my island map
Yeah I knew but I didn’t know what color would look best 
anything i should add to the entrance/trading zone?
the white-ish color would be really cute there! @halcyon mural
Trying to Transform my urban Island into a Cottage one
The all white version
I’ll try it out tysm!
Finally finished Ken's plot! Not sure about the flowers though, anything more dark blue I can use?
i don’t know what to do with this area. it’s by my campsite and museum :/ can someone help me brainstorm? my island is magical forest themed
@limber ginkgo i like how dark blue windflowers and blue pansies are
i use both of those colors here although the blue windflowers are hard to see bc they blurred out
@limber ginkgo i like how dark blue windflowers and blue pansies are
@scenic blaze Thank you! I had no idea what they looked like because it just so happened that windflowers and pansies are the only species I haven't bred yet
windflowers are my least favorite but i try to have all flowers on my island in case i need a DIY
I'd just need to get 1 of each color at this point with how often it rains lmao
@woven drift u can do a tiny library space
I haven’t picked a theme for my island yet
but you sad it was natural so should I stick with that?
Any ideas for museum design? i need some inspo ^^
@woven drift ARE THOSE SOCIAL DISTANCING MARKERS AT YOUR STALLS
i already have one ): @woven drift
@proper grove HAHAHAHA yes they are the look cute though
this is my map so far, does anybody have any tips where i should place some houses? i can’t decide :((
@woven drift That's so clever
@proper grove ty!
Finally finished my bat symbol! I’m so sad you can’t see the whole thing when you fly by
@woven drift i did try that at first but i just don't like having ALL my villagers at the same place
@drifting light maybe u can do it in different sections like 5 and 5 or 3 and 3 and 4
@heavy portal I LOVE THAT are you doing a batman theme?
@drifting light my villagers have themed areas by themselves! i think it works really well with a more natural theme. if you aren't sure where to put them, moving them to the beach while you work on the rest of your island is a good plan.
@proper grove ooh I’m not done my island yet and it’s kind of random. What else would you suggest bc that sounds like a cool idea
So been working on my front yard. Should I add more flowers? If so which ones cause right now I’m stuck on roses lol 😭
@clear burrow green mums 100%. they would fit so well here. great use of custom designs!
@scenic blaze ooo i like that!! i kinda want to pair some villagers up to make them have neighbours hahaha
@clear burrow green mums 100%. they would fit so well here. great use of custom designs!
@scenic blaze omg I would but I haven’t breed any green ones 😭 guess time to go breeding haha
@heavy portal mines also very random, I have dr who, batman, and alice in wonderland inspo areas so far haha
@proper grove that sounds very cool
^^
It's... a mess haha just fun stuff I like

@scenic blaze and thank you 🙏🏽
@drifting light i have two who are neighbors (kiki and rudy) because their houses match lol. this is an old picture but you can see how flexible it is to not have a neighborhood
@heavy portal I am thinking of redoing the core of it to be a gritty, crime ridden gotham-esque city though. Feat. villagers as the villains... idk if I have the patience for city vibes just yet though
@proper grove whoaa that sounds really cool. Imagine how it would look when it rains? I think it’s worth a try
I KNOWWWWW... in the rain or fog it'd be so sick
@scenic blaze ooo that's really nice!!
fog?
Just finished my entrance, it feels a bit crowded tho, any tips
?

@regal jolt Could you use the white planks more like stepping stones? with gaps of plain grass or your small pattern texture in.
@versed wadi Hmm, that sounds good, thank you for the feedback 
Any ideas for what I could add here? I might remove the speaker
hmmmm... I would shrink the space, two blocks in each side if possible, add streetlamps, and mabye get some custom design accents to go over the path?
but its definitely quite large for a plaza like structure.
one item that always works, is the clock that's like on a pole you can get from nookstop? it's cute and works with almost any situation.
What do you think of this mini island? It has the shape of my country lol
Do you see the similarity?
It looks so well done!!!
@versed wadi I feel like I've seen foggy pics in-game?
@flint mason Thats a fun little easter egg! Looks like you chopped off a bit of Gracias a Dios though, do you have room to lengthen that side?
can anyone help me with ideas on what to put in this tiny area 🥺
I sadly can't put a custom design on top of it because the floor is already a custom design and I'm not sure if I'll shrink it yety but I'll definitely add the streetlamps. Thanks though @stuck storm
@proper grove I know!! Ill try to fix it. I did yesterday lol. Thats why I wanted opinions here!
Did it**
@flint mason ooh you’re from Honduras too? That’s a neat idea
@flint mason I love the idea for sure! Since it has the shape of your country, you should put your house on it, roughly where you live! haha
Can i share some cool Spots on my island and get some feedback?👉🏻👈🏻
@versed wadi I went through the video and just want you to know that i used your method of "looking at the horizon" a lot. I've done it since I saw your photos a long time ago on this server and it's so useful
Anyone with this positioning having the same trouble as me?
Really stuck with what I can do here
anyone have any map inspo??
anyone have a mini green house? i need it for inspiration plzzz :))
@terse terrace Awesome, that camera is my favourite thing about New Horizons 🙂
@scenic blaze your map looks amazing; i'm dying to see your actual island haha
@woven drift hope this helps!
yeeess me too. I wish there were spots that really make visitors tilt their camera up and take the view in
oh my god that’s so cute. totally fits with my theme. thanks! @south imp
np! goodluck with it
@floral nimbus i'm not open for tours right now but i post a lot of stuff on my twitter if you want to see the finished bits! https://twitter.com/sedumisland
does anyone have a better pathway that matches the log staircase?
Stargazing area, Fairy forest and witchcraft place!
@somber walrus we have almost the same
@somber walrus also have something similar, will post a pic of my entrance if you like
@somber walrus I definitely had those rivers and cliffs, My Airport is a tad more cental though
@lucid wind can I see your entrance plz 🙂
I'm a bit stuck on the entrance and is having trouble deciding which format looks better. Should I have with or without hedges?
I think without but thats my choise
Anyone have a mushroom flower secluded forest?
@ancient wyvern make the path wider. If u use hedges like that the path will be of 1 square. If you make it wider it will be 3 squares. Its better a wide path for me
Can someone help my desin small place in my island ???
@ancient wyvern i personally like the hedges more, mine is just like that but without them and now i’m thinking about redoing my entire entrance just to put the hedges😭
@ancient wyvern I like the hedges next to the double waterfalls.
@arctic furnace I've drawn on inspiration from a few Reddit posts so it's not entirely original but here it is!
Judys front yard! Any ideas or feedback?
Anyone have a mushroom flower secluded forest?
@gray wolf I'm busy working on one!
@lucid wind dude that’s awesome! What’s the island theme?
thanks everyone for the suggestions, I really appreciate it
@low egret thank you! No specific theme, just went for quite a stone-oriented residential / entrance area
@lucid wind I’ve never really seen anything like that entrance, that’s awesome!
These are my villagers! Any front yard ideas for any of them OTHER than Judy, Marshall, Maple, or Lucky?
Judys front yard! Any ideas or feedback?
@low egret I really like this! I would personally turn the star clocks around but if you like them then leave it as is!
@lucid wind oh yeah! Good idea! They are in a weird place so I think I will
I just like using them as a small nova light so I always use them backwards
can anyone give me ideas on resident Area?
pretty happy with my entrance so far... looks good or no?
help! which one looks better? dark dirt or the stone!
And perhaps swap the closest two nova lights so that it carries on alternating? @low egret
@lethal tusk i say dark
@lethal tusk THAT PATH IS AWESOME! Do you have the code?
I would say the stone one
@low egret Audie I gave her a surf shack along the edge of the grass and beach on my boardwalk. And for stitches I gave him a little play area (kiddie pool, elephant slide, etc)
@lucid wind oh yes ty that will look better!
thanks guys! here is the path.. creator code then pick the gray!
@twilit lintel omgosh good ideas! Do you by any chance have any pictures?
@gray wolf still a wip! looks very cute at night
@lethal tusk I’m putting that path for Luckys front yard! It’s a grave yard
Amazing 🙌🏼 ty @eternal zinc really wanna start working on one soon
@low egret
I love the light up mushrooms. Might have to tt to the fall to grab them. Are they from balloons?
Any finishing touches or ideas?
@twilit lintel OH wow that’s awesome! My favorite is the surf shack! The flooring and the boards are awesome!
@low egret I’m planning to get rid of stitches soon, that’s why it looks like that now. I’m getting ready to move him out
good entrance?
@flat oak that’s really good!
@low egret this is what it was originally when I had a residential neighborhood
good entrance?
@junior briar it’s off center
@twilit lintel I’m sorry I’m asking so many questions and please ay no if you don’t want to send it but do you have the code for the flooring in audies shack? Sorry
can I see anyone’s stargazing area or lookout area ?
Istg re-terraforming is such a bitch. Took me 6 damn hours to create a water flow like this
@twilit lintel I’m sorry I’m asking so many questions and please ay no if you don’t want to send it but do you have the code for the flooring in audies shack? Sorry
@low egret sorry I don’t. Not the exact one I have. But if you look up wooden planks in the search bar, you can find some other good ones as well
@junior briar I think the entrance is great! What are those statues called?
stone lion dogs
@low egret I lied! I just found it on google
hello do one of u guys know how to make a Japanese style house
TYSM!
@sterile violet try searching "in:island-layouts has:image stargazing" to find pictures people have posted before!
Ok so I’m running out of space for my paths, is there any way to get more?
@junior briar
Here's some of my residential area, and the map
wow
@low egret no, unfortunately we can only have 50 custom paths. Although we all want more 😔
does anyone know how to make a Japanese style island
@low egret do you mean more space for custom designs? if so, there's no upgrade for custom design space. just delete patterns you don't really use
@junior briar here’s part of my residential area for two of my characters. They don’t rly have a yard because it’s not about their yard, but the area that they are in. It’s a water bungalow area. While the other villagers have their own themed areas. If I had more space,I would have ideally put them all in the water bungalow area.
dayum
does anyone have ideas to fill up like big empty spaces?
do u guys know how to make a Japanese style island
I like to break them into smaller spaces and focus on decorating those
@woven drift here are some ideas
depends on the style you want to go for
@woven drift what’s your theme? Like @upbeat nexus said, it depends
for larger natural spaces I see a lot of people use custom design tiny flowers mixed with actual flowers, and for plazas it’s usually pathing plus decorations and stalls
whatever it is, look at images and find ones that you like, then try and figure out specifically what it is you like about them and how you can incorporate them on your island
i don’t really know what call it but my island is kinda like cottage core. i saw someone on youtube redo their island and i got a lot of inspiration from them so i guess it’s cottage core
can u guys tell me what i need for a Japanese style island
Why does everyone flatten their islands? It kinda ruins the natural looks
cherry blossom, bamboo, zen and oriental stuff

does this look good or bad? I tried to make it look like cargo n shipments but still accessible for fishing
i already seen that video and it did not really show me
It looks really good! @bitter inlet
Olive it looks great 🙂
okay, ty
@midnight yew i would recommend looking up photos of places in japan that you want to recreate. then try to rebuild it using items in game~
I can't get my last rock to appear where I want it to. Help!
@bitter inlet here’s my shipping port to maybe get more reference. Top picture
ok
@twilit lintel ty
@midnight yew there’s a lot of different Japanese style items you can add. It’s just how you want to decorate your island and what kind of items and diys you have that you can decorate it with.
ok it might take a while sence i am still a noob
@midnight yew yeah. A lot of the Japanese zen style stuff you want is diys. So you can either buy it from someone on discord or nookazon, you if you don’t have a lot of bells or nmt, then I would suggest either travel back into April and get those types of diy or wait it out.
ok
can anyone help me with my rocks?
Hii!!! Any ideas on how to fill a shopping area I have my nooks and ables next to each other
i mostly join this server so people can help me since i am a noob
@wide forge I put some food stalls in front, and merengues diner to the side
@midnight yew yeah we can help, but theres an extent to how much we can help you with if you don’t have all the furniture you want. To get more furniture, you can go to the furniture-trade channel under the marketplace tab. But you need to head to the trades verification tab first.
@arctic gate hey, I had the same problem for a few days. Try opening up another spot for it to appear and see if it's just stuck in limbo. If it does come up somewhere else, destroy it again and remove all the things surrounding the area, and maybe open up another spot next to it. Mine just wanted to move to the spot next to the one I chose 🤷🏻♀️
thank you @woven drift
first picture is before and second is what I did today ^^ was wondering if anyone could help me on what to put above the bench
hey @twilit lintel is it possible to trade for cherry blossom trees
yes, check nookazon or ask on this server
@midnight yew those trees are only seasonal for 2 weeks in April. Once it’s over, they turn back into regular trees
Thank you! I’ll try it out @twilit lintel
Oh wait you mean the big ones not the potted ones, my bad
@upbeat nexus I’m assuming the actual tree. But I don’t know. Wasn’t specific lol 🤷🏻♀️
TT for all eternity if you want pink hardwood trees, potted cherry blossoms you can trade for or wait a year
@exotic rampart maybe a fruit tree!
@midnight yew if you’re in the northern hemisphere and want to TT to cherry blossom season you’ll also have to deal with living in zipper’s personal hell and getting eggs filling up your inventory
You can TT to April 2021 for a Zipper free experience
oh is it at a different time next year or did they just not add the event date in?
i cant find the trade area
Get the role for it
It's a live-event only set in the 2020 calendar
Ah okay so they probably patch in a date each year or something
@versed wadi oh thank god lol. That was a nightmare
which one is the best?
is there a limit on rocks spawning a certain amount of units close to your home?
@thorn junco either of the left ones
Should I use one type of fencing for my neighborhood?
@arctic gate I dont think so
@thorn junco in my opinion (someone with the rs suuuper close to their airport) top left
@arctic gate I'd assume the same as a tree, second space over
Top or bottom left looks best
well, I'm trying to spawn a rock 4 spaces over and can't seem to
I want to make a beach bar, should i use a brown theme or light theme?
Brown to contradict with the light sand!
@arctic gate it's probably not the house then 🤔
ok thks for the help
I have RS 3 spaces away and it spawned
Can't get my sixth rock to spawn here, please help!
@plain forge thank youu i tried it with a cherry tree and it looks much better 😊
These are mine, so they can be that close together, but they just act up sometimes
man, what a pain!
Right?! You spend hours trying to move those little buggers and they just don't want to lol
it hasn't spawned anywhere else on my island either. so I think all the empty slots are filled >_> either that, or there's a hidden rock somewhere that I haven't been able to find and destroy
That's why I said to test it out somewhere else in an open field or smth
can u guys see the trade chats
I had 2 that just wouldn't spawn. Opened 2 spots nearby and poof, there they were
@midnight yew go to server info and read the instructions on how to get access
can someone help me with my island
@earnest galleon what exactly do you need help with?
@twilit lintel my campsite layout mainly
@earnest galleon do you need inspo? is that what youre asking? are you looking for a more natural foresty vibe? or do you want to do something different with it?
mine is a forest type.
tiny sitting area in front of my stores 
Hi! Looking for inspiration for my beach areas that are still empty. I already have a tiki bar, juice bar and tanning areas
Anyone with a cottage like island that uses a lot of terraforming and different levels I can visit please? Just looking for inspiration please
@manic eagle lovely!
@candid plover what about a surf shop? With surfboards and such?
@twilit lintel the thing is i I don’t know what theme I don’t know where to place it or how to get it straight lmaoo
@vernal oxide ooh I like that. I have surfboards littered around just as decoration but a shop sounds cool
@earnest galleon do you wanna come visit my island to maybe get an idea? what do you mean how to get it straight?
@candid plover I’m actually working on a smoothie bar that has a pool area next to it and down at the beach in front of it will have a surfshop!
@candid plover i used audie's house as a surf shack. but you can use any other villager that has surf type house to use
Anyone have any furniture to sell? Willing to pay bells or NMT
@deft crystal use #furniture-trade
I cant find it 😦
There’s a reaction you have to hit in the #721542917264638002 @deft crystal
My pool is coming along! I think more needs to happen tho. I need to find a cute table for in between the chairs too
I made a map, can anyone help me with ideas for the right side of my island. I moved all my villagers to the left so now I need insp. Need to fill in circled area
@candid plover these are my beaches that aren’t part of villager houses c:

@vocal birch i had made side boardwalk with just white beach chairs and palm tree lights
Here’s maples beach and audies beach @candid plover
@twilit lintel ooo good idea!! Any path code for boardwalk on hand and can I see a picture ? 😁
@vocal birch I actually found the one that I used. It took me a while because ppl were asking for it.
@twilit lintel i blame you for wanna move all my villagers 😜
@granite spire lmao hey it sucks, but worth it
@granite spire i got to take new pictures of some of my resident areas!
I just love how beautiful the sunsets are here 😍
Want them more spread now with cool senary @twilit lintel
@granite spire i got to take new pictures of some of my resident areas!
@twilit lintel beautiful areas! The aesthetic is so pleasing 😍
how do you get three stars been trying for days now but still stuck on two
@granite spire oooh do it! im sure it will look great! @woven drift thank you!!!
@dawn sable just get a bunch of flowers and put random fish everywhere
@dawn sable talk to tom nook or isabelle to help you. they will give you feedback on what you can do to get your ratings to go up
ok thank you
@twilit lintel back to planning where they go 🙂
Why are making rock gardens the worst?
@granite spire it took me 3-4 days to lay it out all correctly. so gg lol. i might have to fix julian's mysterious cove soon. im not a fan of it right now lool
@twilit lintel im on a plane in 2 days plenty lf time to do it i guess lol
@granite spire perfect timing!!!
hey does anyone have any medival island inspo
How did you guys setup your museums, if you have like a nature kind of island
Hi! Anyone have pictures of antique/vintage shops I can have a look at? 😊
Does anyone have any idea if i can hang a bridge there? And still walk underneath it?
@lofty condor unfortunately not
Lol I’m working on a fashion runway
@lofty condor you cannot sadly
@mental hollow
😭😭 so much for my hopes and dreams. thanks guys!
this is my stargazing/lookout area and I have this empty space idk what to put, any suggestions?
A bit updated :3 i think something should go at the bottom left but I dunno what
Anyone want to help me redo my rivers
What would be a good incline for a tropical theme?
@sterile violet Maybe a the fortune cart could be good to put there
@frank linden sadly I don’t have that item
can anyone send some villager house layouts ? i wanna have mine close together like a lil neighborhood but 4-4-2 layout kinda thing
Hey. Can anybody help me build a good island? DM me if you can.
Can anyone help me make this look a bit better? I’ve got a bunch of flowers but no items layed out, and I really could use some help with terraforming ideas/ layout ideas... Please dm me or ping me here!
@tough drift i have a medieval area 🙂 https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1259605105705316352/photo/1
@timid falcon it depends on the look i guess. is it like super tropical? or like tropical resort? it just depends on the areas as well
@tough drift i have a medieval area 🙂 https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1259605105705316352/photo/1
Thank You!
@scenic blaze
It’s like zen tropical and it close to one of my villagers house
What would be a good incline for a tropical theme?
@timid falcon I would say either the white plank stairs or the log stairs
@ionic wyvern the theme of my island leans more toward Imperial tropical
yes
@timid falcon I did some natural ramps
Ty 😄😄
Can some show me ideas for rs mine is super close to the airport and im struggling
@red cosmos how close?
@wet ore I thought about that too but I’ve used it a lot already so I went with the stone brick cause it’s also in the same theme
My island is (very) slowly coming together after this new remodel ;-; I'm turning my Japanese theme into the LA area and this is my finished Venice Beach! The "boardwalk" where clothing and art vendors sell their stuff, the lifeguard tower/house on the beach, and Venice Skate Park (ft. my sweet Genji)!!
opinions on my layout so far? (wip)
@plain forge looks awesome
@plain forge have any advice?
@versed wadi tysm!! ♥️
@red cosmos advice on what specifically? If it's about how to take down your island and redoing it, what I typically do is start on one section at a time (like 1/4 of the island) and slowly take down/build from there. I put all my shops and flowers on the other empty beaches beforehand!
@plain forge I'm doing that rn lol
What else could go in a lil fishing area?
@foggy hound some seats and that rack from the fishing tourney
@foggy hound there’s a fishing tourney later in the month with loads of loot you could use to decorate
You could also add more stalls selling various other items (fish, fish bait, etc)
what do you guys think of this stargazing/wedding area?
Does anyone have inspo for an entrance to redd's boat?
Does some one have something to fill a lil place
Can anyone give me some advice on how to fill in blank spaces on my cottagecore themed island? 🥺💕
Finally gave Redd a nice little setup :)
@fringe robin I'm likely tearing this area down in the future but here!! There's a log staircase in the right corner (had taken this pic before I set stairs lol), and the area is hidden behind a tall cliff/moutain (where I had set my zen temple in my old theme)
@hushed python aside from more shrubs/trees/flowers:
I just put a blue phone box on it. It’s Bad Fox Bay.
Big brained
yeo um my market place😳
My island is kinda sparatic
I have a stand by sherbs house with a mixer and espresso machine, but i dont know what to customize it with, the area theme is like a beach and everything is blue, any ideas?
Hosting a 1 MILLION Bell giveaway on my 5 star Island 🏝 ...There is 1 million bells in 99k bags wrapped and hidden on my island. Plus other miscellaneous prizes. Finders keepers!
Also hosting 2 rounds of musical tree stop for a prize of 50k each round and ALSO a fishing competition, winner gets 100k.
Entry fee is 3 NMTS for all events. First 4 visitors! DM me if you're interested! 😃
try #690093605821480980 @meager sonnet
@night tundra sherbs house has a Malibu vibe so you can put all white items (like the white surfboard) around it to make a surf shop by the beach
@bitter inlet super off topic but I love ur pfp
ty, it’s my princess Pekoe
she's my fav, I have her and genji on my island as The Power Couple™
so do I...
uh I’m lookin for like a garden entrance that has black white and purple roses with somewhat difficult terraforming I can’t seem to find it-
@sterile violet I would put the benches in front of the arch and the table to the left
@modern marsh thank u
Genji is on the lower level but I tried to make them live close to each other
@bitter inlet I love it 🥺 after I finish my Chinatown and Little Tokyo area on my island they'll be close to each other again
as they should be
Any ideas on how i could decorate this area? Would love some second opinions too! Dm me your ideas
i feel like my entrance seems a bit bland or its missing something
i would appreciate some design tips or advice
Finally happy with my Island entrance 🥰🌿🌲
@soft saffron lots of stone and red bamboo items
Punchy decided to photobomb 😂
@opal phoenix you could put something small in the middle as a centerpiece
someone suggested adding leaf piles
Spirited Away inspired!!
https://youtu.be/HrL2aIiERdo
This is the island of Pokyland, inspired by the very famous Spirited Away movie created by Studio Ghibli. Throughout the island, there are lots of references from the movie and other movies from the directer Miyazaki. Him and his girlfriend admire his work and details so much,...
leaf piles would be nice, maybe on the bottom corners
leaf piles are my fav item
i’m might change the hedges to imperial fencing
Hey guys, my sister needs some inspiration for an entrance with resident services close to the airport!
how close? @dapper mural
@bitter inlet I’ll get her to tell me right now
@bitter inlet it’s 15 blocks in front of the airport and 2 blocks to the right
Wich Typ of Island is she building
She’s not really going for a theme, she’s just building
was trying to plan out Cube's ice rink and was wondering with simple panels can i give two different patterns on it for the bottom, and top?
15 blocks isn't close, she has a lot of room to do basically anything she wants. i would recommend watching some tours on youtube and figuring out something she likes
Thats my map so i just put cliffs everywhere
15 blocks sound like luxury im only like 7 or 8 and couldnt make a slanted bridge since it was too close so i went with hills and mountains around it
@dapper mural I think that's about what mine is, there's a river mouth on the east side? This is what I did with mine, my theme is city (specifically the city of LA) I've added two shrubs by the trees on the cliff since this pic haha
@plain forge for those simple panels can there only be one pattern or did you just put the same pattern on it twice?
@icy flint I used 2 patterns total, each one repeats on the bottom of the panel! So the design is just the top half repeated on the bottom
ty! for help
Suuuuuper happy how this came out. I do have a few more things to add. But here’s my pool area/smoothie bar next to it
Does anyone have some good goth/ Halloween ideas for an island. I’m finally going to start reorganizing my island I I need some ideas.
dark magic area and one of my forest walkways :))
Looking for museum entrance ideas ヾ(^-^)ノ
Here are some Pics of my entrence from my Cottage theamt island
idk if any of you were here but i flattened that top part pf my island
@tulip shuttle skull lagoon.... a lake shaped like a skull 💀
@stuck trail that’s a great idea I’ll do that!
Working on entrance !! Which looks better with the double arch or not
@eager walrus I think I prefer the singular arch. both are nice tho!
@ornate orchid I need to retake pictures but my entrance is a t-Rex with stairs up each side and seating up top with more fossils!
I Think that the Double Arch is way better
@vernal oxide Looks great! Thank you!
Thank you!
tried to look for an ice rink code pattern or anything similar to ice and i couldn't find anything other than ice stone bricks
finally found a usable one and dont have to make it lmao
Ok ive been here a bunch the past few days and i feel like I finally got kabuki and cocos area right. I just feel like im missing something in the middle, but i dont want to block the bridges. Any ideas?
@night tundra trees!
Still a lot of work to be done on my island, but I'm in love with what I've done so far!
So i need some tips or ideas! Im currently working on turning this section of my island into Wayne Manor with my house included (just the outside). Ive seen a few castle/manor videos and they go for mostly white/light colors which the manor is not. Also I'm trying to see if i should move my house to wear the silos sit? Or move it all the way back. I also have these large spots i wanna decorate as well. For a bonus i added the parents and tips on how to make it more spooky would be awesome!
@night tundra trees!
@scenic blaze what type r u thinking ?
@night tundra whatever you prefer, but since it's an asian-inspired area i think bamboo trees would look nice!
@sage ether I think a lot of people use light colors for their mansions/castles bc the items they use (silos/wedding pipe organs) only come in lighter colors? If you wanted to keep a darker theme you could try a design that uses more simple panels since they're more versatile... I don't have any examples unfortunately
Here's another thing
@sage ether I think those wedding pipe organs turned backwards and customized to the natural or chic theme might work with what you have
Actually you don't need to turn them backwards cus the front looks good aha
I got a dark organ and i might get a white organ to see how that goes
Does anyone have a pond with decorations in the middle of the pond?
I was thinking of expanding my heart pond to put some stuff on a small island
Does anyone have ideas that you can use to Fill in small spaces? ( ;∀;)
does anyone have any ideas on what to put on small tables other than flowers lol
Should I move the statue?
@sage ether not my pic but something like this? I'm sure there are plenty of panel designs that are darker that you can find/ask for in #custom-design-help🎨 as well that will work with the darker customized pipe organs
@ornate orchid @woven drift I didn't make this list but it's a great resource for filling spaces
Hello! Does anyone have any ideas on how can I decorate the outside of Nook's Crany?
@stuck trail Thank you so much! (^з^)-☆Chu!!
@plain forge something like that but not as long. I want it to be more bulky kinda
@hybrid oyster candles, coffee cups (?), small houseplants, aroma pots, books/magazines
@sage ether Yeah you can always take away a few panels on either side, add different layered cliffs in the middle/behind your house and then stagger the panels for a fuller / 3D look
how have you decorated your beaches?
anyone done like a museum garden area?? not sure what to do with mine
@zealous mortar i made like a gated area with a fountain in the middle
Anyone have a barbecue area?
@zealous mortar
Any recommendations for things to put here? This is like my LEAST FAVORITE SPOT
can anyone show me the color palette of their library? i keep going back and forth with customizing my items to different colors lol
secret beach 
omg that reminds me of steven universe i love it!!
ah i still dunno what to do with my secret beach
@jolly mural I feel like decorating outside of Nooks is the most difficult. But I put bikes and a little market outside of nooks (also I changed a few items on the stalls so ignore the nova light lol)
Walkway
all these ideas are making me crazy. i don't even know where to start sigh
Idk if I like it any opinions🥴
oooo cuteee
@vocal wyvern This is currently how my library is set up
@vernal oxide that's a great idea thanks!
OMG I LOVE THATTT
@jolly mural oooo thanks! ill try something out with the dark book shelves (:
@digital axle imo I would change the stall pattern to one that matched Nooks better and add 1-2 chairs or benches on either side of the shop on the wooden area
Np! @vocal wyvern
anyone done like a museum garden area?? not sure what to do with mine
@zealous mortar i made a botanical garden
@vocal wyvern this is mine(≡^∇^≡)
@ornate orchid omg i love the tree in the middle!
That's really good!
@vocal wyvern Thanks! ☺
This part is definitely from a YouTube video I watched, but I changed it up a lot
How are y'all islands so pretty- mine isn't even half done
same
I only have my campsite, my museum and my able sisters, the other is a whole mess
I don’t even have able sisters
if only we can help each other terraform our island long sigh
IKR
any ideas for this area? It’s across from my cafe, dunno if I want to connect the beach or keep it separate
@rough sparrow YES
Maybe do a lifeguard area? Or surfing station
smol cemetery 😬
u can put a simple whiteee blanky and a book also maybe some fruit basket @woven drift
@vocal wyvern I’m late to the picture posting party because my phone died lol but here’s my library/cafe!
@vernal oxide now worries! i’m still decorating so anything helps!
can i see some of your entrance designs?
Sure! Mine is themed as my island, an enchanted Forest, so I don't know if it would help but if it gives you some ideas it'll be alright
Did anybody else place their Able Sister's Shop next to Nook's Cranny? I don't want to move them bc I love their placement, but I don't know how to redecorate the area around them. They have a mini tulip garden connecting them that's fenced.
Sure! Mine is themed as my island, an enchanted Forest, so I don't know if it would help but if it gives you some ideas it'll be alright
@jolly mural do u have a pic
Yes I'm taking it rn
@rough sparrow and in between I have a fountain and a seating area!
so i liked my entrance at first but ive started to realize it's really linear and boring. my town hall is very close to the entrance so id like to keep it obscured. any ideas?
@rough sparrow and in between I have a fountain and a seating area!
@vernal oxide oh wow this is beautiful
@rough sparrow my entrance~
@rough sparrow This is it! It looks way better at night
@elfin laurel I used to. You can kinda see it in the background. I decorated the Ables with clothing and nooks with a money tree and some trash bags
So, i've been asking here for help every couple hours for my island, lol, so apologies for that XD
But I was wondering - so I'm setting up an area for every villager, like beau will run the park, audie the aurf shop, etc. I don't know what to do with Lyman though! I thought about a Gym, since he's a jock villager, but I just don't know... any ideas?
@keen nymph i can help you with that, I love thematic yards for each villager! I've looked him up on the wiki and says his dream is to be an astronaut. Sooo Celeste items?
@keen nymph If you want a gym, he's probably your best bet. However with his design/house design I almost think of him running like a garden shop or maybe a pub 😂
so i liked my entrance at first but ive started to realize it's really linear and boring. my town hall is very close to the entrance so id like to keep it obscured. any ideas?
@hardy pivot this is cute!!!
@keen nymph maybe give him a fruit stand/market? since his interior is pretty nature-y and his name and appearance resemble the fruit "lime"
@rough sparrow my entrance~
@storm bluff i love the deets!
Here is my modern Cafe entrace with a little bar to the side 😊 I have 4 spaces to RS and I had to get creative. @rough sparrow
Oh my goodness!!! I never even thought about using the astronaut theme, that's so cute!!! And I really like the pub idea, so I'll probably pick one of those! Ty so much!!! (and may, thank you for the fruit idea, I would probably go with that, except Tangy already runs the orchard... for obvious reasons XD)
Because she’s a cat right?
Yes, lol, because she's a cat!
Here is my modern Cafe entrace with a little bar to the side 😊 I have 4 spaces to RS and I had to get creative. @rough sparrow
@woven drift i love how useful these simple panels are ❤️
and i went from aweee to ughhhh hahahahah that sh*t hurts
any color recommendations for the flowers for my museum?
Red would go well with the banners but you could make anything work really
i can't snag a picture right now, but i used blue roses for my museum entrance!
@versed wadi i was thinking of red, white, and blue since the side is red, roof blue, and corners white
🇺🇸
murica af
Should I just make a 2 wide path uneven, do the 1 wide path in the picture, or make a 3 wide one so it hangs over a bit on the left?
I would use white and black
ill see what i can do with the flowers since i dont have much and i already used black and white so i feel like would just be repetitive
i use blue around my museum but i also have the red banners blocked off as much as possible bc i don't like them
im planning on watering my plants and day skipping since some places are blocking me from terraforming so prob later tonight ill add them and see what goes with it
Little sneak peak of my neighborhood ✨
@stiff pond 😍
@tropic kettle two wide and you can place flowers, fencing, shrubs, or lights on either side of the path
can someone send what their village looks like?
I am going for a city style island, anyone have an island with that sort of them I can. Look at?
@woeful magnet this is my island layout rn but im doing a lot to it atm
Ty! @icy flint
@storm bluff do you still have the path code for the cute little white spots at your entrance area?? I've been looking for something similar 💗
I rarely post AC stuff on my twt cos i’m supposed to be an art twt but i wanted to share!!! 🙈💕😂 https://twitter.com/ohwelladays/status/1278720980102180864?s=21
@elfin laurel i actually made those myself! if you dm me i can just give you my creator code~
@elfin laurel i actually made those myself! if you dm me i can just give you my creator code~
@storm bluff ahh yes please!! I'll dm u rn ✨
@rough sparrow my entrance~
@storm bluff loved seeing ur island in person!! ❤️ hope i can visit again soon 😄
What can I do to dress up my entrance?
looking for yard ideas for my villagers, my island is cottagecore/natural themed
@paper path have you tried searching "in: island-layouts has:image yard" ? you can also replace the word yard with your villager names to see if anyones posted in the past
@storm bluff i forgot i could do that ty!
@static frost have you had any success with keeping those saplings from growing? I've been trying to do something similar but have all but given up on the idea of planting cedar/hardwood saplings bc nothing I do stunts them at that level 😭
Anyone got some surf shop with beach integrated ideas?
@stuck trail i planted the cedar and a shrub on the sand path, let me skip to tomorrow real quick and see if they grow any ill let you know but i think theyre supposed to stay that eay on the sand 🤔🤔
@static frost I can save you the trouble - they do grow on sand paths, just not on the beach 😭
altho, the one you planted in the back might stay that small bc he's so close to the cliff...
@stuck trail oh my :( ugh thats so frustrating 😖 thank youu!
I think if you plant everything in perfect rows they dont grow
@static frost I'm sorry, I was really hoping there might have been a new method I wasn't aware of 😖 @rugged bolt in rows, one will grow and the one next to it will be stunted, but as soon as you remove the larger one, the little one starts to grow again 
@stuck trail i was already skipping to tomorrow and youre right :(
Thos 2 did grow lol
@static frost I've tried everything I can think of - the only things that actually work are planting next to a larger tree or on the tile next to the cliff... I mean if nintendo would just give us vegetables already 
@stuck trail ikr 🙄🤦🏻♀️😂😂 so annoying. Im jist gonna bury some rocks lol make it look lkke little holes 🤷🏻♀️
Its almost anoying how much things I want nintendo to change
anyone have an outdoor gym? looking to make a nice big workout place
Does anyone have a far developed very natural feeling island? I have one and would love someone to compare with
Rip I used to @scenic jacinth was gunna relocate it after getting rid of it but I completely forgot abt it
@scenic jacinth not mine, I saved this image for the creator code but I really like this gym set-up!
Anyone got a themed out beach?
any ideas on what to do with this little space? i’m stumped
oooh!!!!
Anyone has cottage/fairy core entrance ideas ?
@gritty helm add a little more nature to fill it in or maybe a picnic spot?
U could add a fireplace area with a small well too @gritty helm
@gray wolf when you say themed out... ?
i think that would look extra cool!! should i make a beach park?
@silent thistle this is mine
Just some nice furniture on the beach that makes it look nice @versed wadi
Something like this if you could make a smaller scale of this vertically @gritty helm
Or a picnic area? I got one just off to the top left
@gray wolf oh that's nice and would fit the aesthetic of my island. thanks! do you know the code for those wood floors around the well?
i need help to where to place my villagers 😦 audi and marshal aready set now the rest help!
@granite spire ready to help
Looking for some ideas to fill up the upper layer of my island can someone give me some ideas or pics
@woven drift whats your theme?
@silent thistle here’s my entrance!
Picnic area i just made on my peninsula 🥰
@twilit lintel farmcore/Japanese Ethstedic
That looks so good!! @paper snow
@paper snow omg gorgeous 😍😍
Anyone turn their basement into an indoor pool?
@woven drift what do you have on your island already?
@paper snow Mind if i ask how you got your island name?
does anyone have any ideas for a town/nooks cranny/able sisters 🥺 im having a little trouble figuring out what i want to do 😔
@twilit lintel I have a graveyard, basketball court and that’s about it tbh
@atomic harness as in how I came up with my island name or how the design was made
the design lol. sorry @paper snow
@atomic harness I made it !
How? @paper snow
@woven drift maybe an asian restaurant?
@atomic harness I drew it and uploaded it with a QR code into the game
waiting for the swimming update like......
I redid my fountain area, any opinions on it?
@paper snow I didnt know that was possible!
@ornate meadow It's super cute!! I like the path you chose for it, though it makes the floor seem a lil crowded :>
Anyone have a Asian inspired restaurant?
I’m re-designing my entire island can I have a few people dm me ideas to fill the wasteland up???
Hi, can I get some feedback on this? I'm wondering whether I should add lights/candles around here or would that make it too crowded?
What can i put to spicw up ankhas residential area? I dont want to do the cliche pyramid and sphynx thing, but im out of idea. Shes next to tangy so maybe i can use the fruit furniture but I honestly have no idea
Anyone have an idea on what style my island should be?
@cyan bobcat Id 100% say add some kind of lighting, it'll make it look a lot prettier at night
@keen lion what r u leaning towards? my theme is tropical resort
@cyan bobcat put a bit of lighting itll look a lot better st night
@keen lion i personally like going for the natural look but if any of your villagers have a Japanese looking house you could always divide the areas up based on where they’re going to reside. Thats what im doing
Has anyone an idea for a workout area? 😊
@woven drift @night tundra thanks!! I'm gonna try to add some and see how it looks ^^
Lf a five star island tour dm me
@keen lion what r u leaning towards? my theme is tropical resort
@twilit lintel I was thinking cottagecore but it just seems so cluttered. I just want something cute and cozy looking
just wanna show off the new camp!!
Lf a five star island tour dm me
@past sun i can message you later and give you a tour. im about to nap
Ok @twilit lintel
@keen lion so do you want something more natural im assuming?
@keen lion so do you want something more natural im assuming?
@twilit lintel Sort of, but an aesthetic, one that isn’t well known.
@twilit lintel a lot of themes have been used honestly. cottage core, modern city, japanese zen, tropical. cottage core being the main one that i see on here. but yours doest need to be cluttered. its how you make of it
@ornate meadow love it
@twilit lintel I’ve been digging and I think bunnycore is a cute idea-
@keen lion what is bunny core? can you elaborate? like you want to use all the easter "bunny" day event items?
@keen lion what is bunny core? can you elaborate?
@twilit lintel It’s a sort of theme based on bunnies and serenity using soft pastel and mainly white colors.
@keen lion so basically easter colors?
HEY can anyone send inspo of how they placed Tangy’s house & yard inside their orchard hehe
I’m obsessed with Gilmore Girls and am making a Stars Hollow themed island! Would love some input on different areas I can make! DM me if you’ve got ideas
@twilit lintel although I started leaning towards fairycore- I HAVE TO MAKE UP MY MIND
@keen lion haha its hard choosing a theme honestly. just go with what you think you will like the most. the longer you wait, the more intimidating it is really
I want stuff like this 🥺 It’s so beautiful
Does anyone know how to make a three tier neighborhood like 2 houses on the bottom 4 house in the second layer and 4 houses on the top! i really need help
@keen lion theres a diy for the swinging bench, but youre not gonna find the vines and whatnot like that.
@keen lion you could perhaps use the wedding arch in garden or chic for the vines
@keen lion i think you just need to decide on a theme, and it will help you decide what to do overall.
about to reterraform my island so i can do cottagecore/natural theme! any tips? especially for double south river mouths
@keen lion you dont have to strictly stick to one theme either, you can use elements of a bunch of different ones to make your island your own!
@keen lion my suggestion would be that if you're stuck between two themes, do a little section of your island in each theme and live with it for a little bit, that could help you see which you like better. you might even realize while you're building that one is more natural/pleasing to you and then you can just go with that one (:
okay so obviously it's like, suuuuper messy, but how does this look?? the grey and grey/blues are inclines and bridges! the three circles in the middle ish area are nook/ables/town hall :>
The letters all areas that coresponde with a villager! (b=beau, who runs the park)
anyone have any good water scaping tips to makes rivers look more natural in a way?
I’ve got all my residents lined up like this but I feel like it’s looking a little bland, does anyone have any tips to make it look a little better?
@unreal sundial maybe add some trees and decoration to match the villagers
I need a island theme and I can’t decide! Should I do a natural theme or an emo theme! Can’t decide! Plz dm me ideas!!!
@mystic ivy from the pins:
@silent zodiac emo sounds cool how would that look
@twilit lintel ty!! I will add some trees and items!!
OK ty! I have decide on an emo look cuz I do kinda of have emo villagers like cherry fang and Apollo ! Ty to all who help me!
@silent zodiac if you really go all in on the emo theme there's so many great villagers that would be perfect for that island.....
haha do u ever plan out a big city theme and draw out plans to make a shopping mall but then decide u wanna do an overgrown city theme (so like plants and broken looking stuff) and now the mall probably wont work so u have cool epic plans that u cant put into place :,)
@silent zodiac definitely get muffy for your island
@stuck trail i DONT really care about the villagers and their theme i rlly care about the island design!! Ty tho!!
any characcter can be emo just give em matching clothes. emo sounds rly neat
@mystic ivy no offense to everyone who like her Muffy scares me
also i love ur name👁️ 👄 👁️ 🤙
Dom’s yard
@silent zodiac she’s sweet to me i-
@mystic ivy i respect ur opinion but its also my opinion too
ive finally started working on ny island after being stuck forever and im starting to like how its going
nice!! i just got on the game today for the first time in weeks and im back t the terraforming grind
y’all I’m so bored I feel like terraforming my whole island
go for it!!
do it do it do it
Anyone have inspo for island entrences that include cliffs and waterfalls
Dm me plz with inspo
my campsite right now
Ahh but the thing is that I have a 5 star island and I’m scared of terraforming it all
Anyone have a cool house set up for tangy?
@woven drift just do a little
find a spot on your island where you're like, "yeah this is good... but it could be even better" and then terraform away
@stuck trail yeah I’m going to do it right now I just found a spot heheh
@night tundra try searching "in: island-layouts has: image tangy" I feel like her yard gets posted often since she's popular!
I tore down my jail to make this spot. (A green mum will go on the empty spot on one of the tables as soon as I get one through breeding.)
Thoughts? Or any suggestions??
@lofty shuttle it looks nice! my suggestions would be to consider putting down a little bit of path on the hoppy spots and maybe a centerpiece in front of that waterfall in the back? just minor suggestions 
I have a big area right below my house that I dont know what to do with?
@stuck trail okie dokie! Thank you!!
did any one restart their island to get a better layout? can you let me know if you regret it or not 🤧 i’m considering it
@tropic summit some general ideas from pinterest
@supple cipher i reset my island to get a better layout and 10000% am so glad i did
@lofty shuttle maybe some garden lamps after the waterfalls! and statues next to small waterfall background
I'm thinking of upgrading my island entrance. Anyone have fun entrance ideas/inspiration for a small amount of space, possibly using elevation and waterfalls?
Does anyone have a locker i need it for my shop
did any one restart their island to get a better layout? can you let me know if you regret it or not 🤧 i’m considering it
@supple cipher I restarted my island a few weeks ago and I don't regret it at all.
would anyone be down to come look at my finished naked island terraform layout and tell me what they think?? i have 90% of my paths done and some parts landscaped but like no decor. just would like a second opinion before i go ham on decorating.
@ionic wyvern did not regret it
@ionic wyvern send everything to your friend then restart, then when the airport is unlocked get the items back
@crude trout yeah okay
@woven drift dm me and i’ll send you code
@crude trout then could you look at mine
For those wondering about the update, these are the times the update will be ready

Can someone dm me ideas? I’m moving the houses to the corner and possibly keeping the campsite where it is. I need ideas for the other shops and my house tho
Do y’all have a flower breeding area? Is it possible if I could see where ur main flower breeding looks like?
Hello! Does anyone have good ideas on a tree/flower/ nature based walk way? I'm not sure what is a good way to layout my plants along the walk way.
So I was just about to completely start over for the second time and decided I would try to see if anyone here could give me one reason not too. lol So, I decided I wanted all of my neighborhood up on a hill, so I did this today, which I now regret, but the biggest issue is how close my RS is to the airport and trying to match an entrance to the name of my island, "Pink Palm" (originally was planning on using the pink palm lamps but now at a loss) What would you do?
@modern ridge like a hiking trail essentially?
Yes! @twilit lintel
can someone help me plan my island, the rivers and airport entrance is circled in my photo, the top left is my campsite thing
@open valve you could make an outdoor spa area, outdoor diy area, you can connect the 2 openings of the rivers with cute palm trees and bamboo, have a fun beach area, infinity pool on the top story of a mountain range, make a cute island entrance, fishing pond range
I didn't know what to call it xD
Im trying to make the path from the airport to the shops like a hiking trail, so I would like to see some too!
@modern ridge I usually make the trail first and then put the trees down. Let me get better pictures. Hold up
bro all these people with huge islands and then i got a plaza too close to the airport
I was wondering if I could get feedback on fencing for my neighborhood? Which looks better, the left or right fencing?
I feel you @severe saffron I have the same problem
Right.
Thank you @twilit lintel
Did anyone see my msg .. is there any hope for my island or should i restart? :/
im angry i didnt choose symmetrical river entrances so i cant find any inspiration for my island
My th is pretty close and it scares me knowing that there is EVEN closer like wh?? Mine is ~11
I’d consider restarting if you don’t like the layout of all those houses up there since it would cost a lot if bells to transfer them around
@atomic harness Dont start over!
any ideas @jolly raft ?
@atomic harness there's always hope imo, as long as you're willing to be creative. your RS is close but 10 (ish?) spaces is still a reasonable amount to work with and your island name could be interpreted many ways - maybe your theme is tropical, or you have a lot of pink flowers, etc
i got people like sherb on my isladn so im never going to restart
@modern ridge so I actually can’t too many picture because my forest is so dense honestly. So the pictures I showed you are the best.but my best advice is set up the trail, put trees along the trail. But don’t put too much unless you want a dense forest. @jolly raft
No problem thank you!
but what ticks me off is my RIVER EXITS!!!
Trying to make a creepy playground, will have a cemetery on the other side. Any tips?
thanks guys
looking for a new entrance idea I’m not sure but definitely want a hidden entrance into my residence services!
My entrance so far! Does anyone have any suggestions on what to put on the little islands instead of flowers and lanterns?
I have Raymond I could never restart
Id much rather spend ~1mil bells clearing and moving everything rather than resetting
@modern ridge I also let my rocks grow there naturally unless it’s on the trail. Also, add your little ponds before as well to make it seem natural
Just make things what do you guys think about the placement of the villagers?
Could I see y’alls Flower Breeding areas? If you have any
@atomic harness move the two houses behind yours to the rows, make the river more thin and move the two shops farther from the city hall. You seem to like the island idea. Maybe give them each their own island?
I added a lotta cliffs here
Does it still feel like a valley town, or should I take some cliffs away?
@vernal lake what theme are you going for?
my airport is pretty close to the plaza but this is what i managed to do for the entrance (:
Hey guys! What items do you think would be good for this area? I’m trying to make it into a launch/diving pad for when the new update comes out
@woven drift I really like it
so you mean take the houses back off the cliffs @jolly raft ?
@molten comet tbh I'd just wait a few hours to see what new items there are, there are probably going to be things perfect for that area but we don't know what they are yet 🤣
Can you guys send your maps? I’m restarting my island and need to see some inspo! You can DM then to me 🤍🤍
I’m looking for a small area that give off scary and creepy vibes can anyone help me
@supple cipher
@wet ore I dont really have a theme going yet 🤔
@atomic harness
YASS!! I did it!!!!
@subtle kindle good job I'm still at 3
im at 4 even tho my island is trash 
What do you get
what should i do to make this area more enchanted forest like?
Thanks @jolly raft .. ill think it over
@woven drift possibly custom designs
i’m gonna reset my island 🤍 can you send me some map inspo
@woven drift gnomes
gnomes would be a great idea LOL thanks
Guys, can you please help me with this area! I would greatly appreciate it. I added some stalls for now, but does anyone have any ideas of what to make this walk way
Slowly but surely finishing Audie's house.. too bad it's raining T__T any suggestions on what i should place on the little area at the bottom?
Lf maps for some inspiration
Wacky looking residential area I decided on. It’s supposed to be winding paths through a forest.
@woven drift
So, one small question, should I place my Nooks at the end of the cliff where that big space on the right is, or should I move Nooks to where their doors line up with my stairs? Thanks! 
@storm drift I say maybe add a small tiki bar or lounge area there? That would look cute in my opinion. c:
@woven drift
Ty
Can I get some boardwalk and farm/fruit tree/orchard inspo? 
Here is my record shop! If u have any suggestions on how to improve feel free to tell me 🙂
Can you help me with this path area. I just put stalls for now but open for suggestions!
@woven drift make the path more muddy
@supple cipher before you do that send your stuff to a friend then when you get the airport get it back
From urban city to asian farm ^^
@round sierra I definitely think maybe some brighter colors. Maybe custom flooring. Or some custom panels.
I LOVEEE IT @grave lagoon
Sprocket your island looks so big, did you add on?
@ebon bolt its good where its at. You could put a cafe there or something, be clever
I need some ideas for my museum place, my island is supposed to be cottagecore themed but anything helps! ^^
Unsure of what to do with this area kinda wanna be cozy but cool lol
@stoic rune they're all the same size, to make it seem bigger you just have to terraform a bunch ^^
Does anybody have any good ideas for a layout with my tent cause I have no clue what to do with mine rn
Little Statue Garden I worked on.
Just wanted to show off a little beach lounge area I just completed : )
Any ideas on what to do to this area... i can terraform a bit on the left to make it bigger if that helps
Little cafe
Help me with my walk way!(: please
@blazing flax maybe add another stall at the end and put some stuff on the stalls?
work in progress 
Technical question on moving rocks (please pardon my rudimentary drawing)... I want to create a zen garden and have my island rocks (represented as an orange blob circlely thing) in the following format. The blue/dark X represents an overlap of free space. My question is, would this format create a problem? If so, a suggestion for a resolution?
Any tips to submerge the fact it cant line up?
Any suggestions for here besides a cafe, theres a cafe literally behind it
@odd dust it shouldn’t be a problem, I’ve got all my rocks in a circle with only one space between them going round
I say take out the trees or move them or space them diagonally and put in some cool lights and lamps maybe @round sierra
@bleak moon Thank you!
@round sierra could be a good library area, Nursery, picnic area, fishing spot
Hey! What flowers would look good in admiral’s yard/that match his house?
Anyone have any turnip storage areas? Looking for inspiration
@trail rapids and @blazing flax . Ty for the suggestions! Ill look up some inspo! & @dusky tapir green mums
@dusky tapir I second green mums, maybe mixed with orange/yellow flowers like lilies or roses
@dusky tapir i agree with green mums, maybe blue pansies?
@dusky tapir Anything white would create a nice contrast to off set that adorable house.
@keen yoke some people make turnip farms but be warned if you keep your turnips outside they'll lower your island rating
Tysm for the ideas! 
@stuck trail did not know it lowered your rating! Thank you for letting me know!
My island layout sucks and I literally don’t know what to do with it
Im making a school what would be a good stair case to use in a school?
@brave barn brick for sure
Sorry for the bad pics but what theme would you say my island is? I’m trying to figure it out 😅
The design code of these brown wooden planks has stairs too, I can find it for you if u are interested
I just did my house area is there any advice you can give me
Spirited Away and Studio Ghibli themed island!! https://youtu.be/HrL2aIiERdo
This is the island of Pokyland, inspired by the very famous Spirited Away movie created by Studio Ghibli. Throughout the island, there are lots of references from the movie and other movies from the directer Miyazaki. Him and his girlfriend admire his work and details so much,...
My ice bar❤️
Can never go wrong with a fountain haha 😆 or some zodiac items
@midnight flume I would guesssss tropical?? bc of the bright colors and use of bamboo / palm trees
It’s not winter I just had my fiancé craft for me since he chose southern 🙂
My little bamboo forest 🥺 still a working progress.
@echo snow I would add a little bit of fencing or shrubs in the front left corner of that cliff to be like a privacy barrier for your house if that makes sense? it looks a bit open/exposed right now
Alright thanks
I want to get a new island with double South Rivers... anyone have maps i can see?
Made a butterfly garden 🦋
Could anyone give me ideas for how to make this area nicer? I’m not sure which type of flowers to use
Can someone help me with all of my villager houses idk where to put them? Just show me a map of where you put the villagers or if someone could come to my island that'd be awesome.
@civic escarp Here's my rock garden if you need inspo. I used white flowers & green mums
@civic escarp lilies would look nice
@civic escarp i'd recommend white cosmos : )
Got terraforming less than 24 hours ago!!!
(Yes I time travel .-.)
But still proud of myself!
does anyone have a map with double south rivers i could see?
@fathom fulcrum that garden is super cute ♥
Hey guys!! will someone help me out on some cute stuff to put on my island? (inspirations)
Newbie here, so no, sorry lol
@vast zephyr jhajhcjisdihbvwwiudcquicqdhwjdc
Sorry for the Quality
what should I do with this area?
What should I use to light this playground
What can I add here?
@tepid marten Mabye one of those Fake Ducks?
@fallen citrus I did this bc I made themed yards for each one, takes a lot of space but was really worth it
@tepid marten Nova lights since you got star clocks in the background
not sure what do add to this, going for more of a cottagecore theme : )
@tepid marten I think fake ducks look super cute if it's a natural area! i have a heart shaped pond and they look cute around it
@tough bluff something to light the area? Mush Lamps or Street Lamps 
@woven drift i'm think about doing yard but idk if i'll have enough space.
Thank you!
What else should I add to this area (if anything)
@fallen citrus If you don't have that much space you can do little front yards, I used to have them like this before
Any ideas on what to put here? 
but changed it and now it's like this
@woven drift that seems like a good idea now i gotta find the space hahah
@halcyon mural maybe a train station (like with a custom path and throwback containers)
Like this maybe
anyone have some cool ideas for a small wooded area? im going for goth/witchy personally but im really interested in seeing any ideas at all!
also @plucky vault i think adding in a couple star lamps with the flowers could look really cool with the moon setup
@runic loom thanks
@halcyon mural a castle? Or arcade area? Or an amusement park!! 😄
^ i second amusement park! those teacup rides and a cool boardwalk path would look really interesting
@runic loom maybe a hidden potion seller? Or a hidden grave? Or a magical glowing area? Or some mystical creatures hanging out? Idk
i love the potion seller idea, ty!
HI guys, I am here to see some great inspiration for my island: Pine_apple. Last night, I unlocked the paths and construction app because I got to see K.K perform. I hope that you guys can help me with ideas on what to do. 🙂 
In general what do you guys find are key cottagecore items to place around everywhere?
hi! i really need help deciding what to do with Raymond’s yard, i’m stuck:(
@paper bolt one thing I love to see on an island is a graveyard, but it really depends on your theme?
@opaque geyser
@paper bolt maybe a pineapple shaped island or area! Like a nice tropical area or something
Hey y’all! Do you guys have any flower combinations that would good on a tropical island?
Thank you soooo much @stuck trail
@minor vessel I've started to see people mixing lilies and mums and I think that looks so cute particularly with bamboo trees!
Can anyone show me how you have your villagers houses arranged? Trying to do like a neighborhood
That is smart @fallow drift and @woven drift. I'll try to see if I can make these areas. Ty for the idea
@iron bison I have the same problem
@stuck trail thank you! Do you have any specific colors that you think would look nice together?
@iron bison This is my neighborhood
@iron bison I'm working on a compilation of popular neighborhood layouts, its not complete but here are some common ones if you're keeping them all together
can you guys show me your entrances??
I have got to buy cliffs and rivers first...Quite costly (._. ')
@minor vessel It kind of depends on your overall color scheme/where you're putting them, but I would think bright colors would look better for a tropical island!
Thank you so much! (: ^
@soft plaza that is pretty nice!
@soft plaza Just....WOW. My houses are all over the place. If anyone wants me to visit their Island I would be happy too..
@stuck trail probably will use #1
@tacit locust
Also how do you find out what your dodo code is??
