@stuck trail I blanked on the name and then you beat me to it 😂
Revamped entrance and in front of the resident services area. Changed to stone paving instead of terracotta 🥂
them trees 
Redoing my entrance, anyone with a cottagecore/fairycore entrance for inspo? 😔
@limber ginkgo @arctic hill beautiful aesthetic
I'd have more waterfalls if it wasn't so loud
@limber ginkgo Right?!? Exactly what I think 24/7
Progress pics I finally got back to working on this area. It’s still unfinished and I’m at the point where I just carelessly add stalls cause I’m lost lol.
@fringe garden Wow that looks great!
@limber ginkgo ty! Hopefully I will finish it this time instead of ditching midway to work on something else xD
has anyone got any cottagecore/fairycore museum areas? i desperately need inspiration lol
finished coco's little introvert yard 
Any suggestions for my gazebo/stage area n.n :p
anyone got ideas for a garden and a bike area
@leaden crescent my bikes are lined up against my Nooks but I seen a YouTube video forever ago and someone had two bikes and a stall with bike helmets which is a super cute idea.!
@leaden crescent I have my bikes parked near a little picnic area (sorry it’s so dark LOL)
can people send some island layouts? preferably those with a river opening on a side. I got rid of all my rivers but i’m unsure of where to go from here
@arctic swallow my layout is not the same as you, but i did get rid of one of my rivers.
trying to make custom design room so i was wondering which rock design people prefer
@twilit lintel thanks!!
@weak aspen I like the right one
Progress pics I finally got back to working on this area. It’s still unfinished and I’m at the point where I just carelessly add stalls cause I’m lost lol.
@fringe garden OMGGGG its so cute
This is what’s below. Does anyone have suggestions how else to fill the beach?
has anyone got any cottagecore/fairycore museum areas? i desperately need inspiration lol
@stoic pawn I redid my museum area 3 times and this is the finished product.
when in doubt, tiki bar
@stoic pawn I redid my museum area 3 times and this is the finished product.
@woven drift thats so pretty! thanks so much!!
anyone got good fountain/communal/town square type stuff area inspo
Plz guys I need help w a gazebo
This is what’s below. Does anyone have suggestions how else to fill the beach?
@fringe garden Have you thought about some of the shell furniture as accents? (Shell fountain, shell lamps)? They make for great fillers, as well as a few randomly placed white flowers, scattered.
@tired archits pretty simple, but its like the meeting area and whatnot
@woven drift omg I will do that! The shell fountain, and lamps would look great with it I think, ty. What shade of the shell fountain would you recommend?
@tired archits pretty simple, but its like the meeting area and whatnot
@twilit lintel omg cuute
@fringe garden this is what part of the main beach used to look like until I changed it, but fountains and lamps are great fillers.
The pearl fountain is universally beloved because it has so many different shades of color 💖
@woven drift your beach is goals. I can’t believe I haven’t used any shell furniture yet for the beach areas.
What functional places do you guys usually have right outside your entrance?
fountain
@acoustic adder My entrance leads to the plaza and the shops
same
@fringe garden yess! The shell furniture is so perfect - especially for you since you've designed yours so beautifully. Reminds me of a very beautiful area in Myrtle Beach, SC.
my plaza is a little far from the airport entrance
My entrance is next to the fountain and near most of the buildings, with some novelty items like instruments and balls along the path
Actually, I mentioned what I was gonna make my island like a few months ago, lemme find a picture
my plaza is pretty far so rn all I have is a trading area near the entrance and i have a ot more space before i actuually get to the plaza and i would like the plaza to be the center of "downtown"
so im keeping shops near rs
make a really grand n long entrance haha
A trading area makes sense then. I also like keeping a crafting table, garbage can and changing room nearby
@acoustic adder across from my entrance is my museum, then to the right I have my shops and further to the right is my plaza
I AM GOING TO SCREAM AND CRY (I'm just trying to move the white house to the left I hate this game)
oooooof
I had that issue one time I had to move the museum over by 1 space
Time to spend 100,000 bells
Idk why but I really like the red bucket that the pearl oyster is in
@acoustic adder this is my map. I’m changing around a lot on my island. Let me know if you need to see pictures since my RS is also pretty far from the airport
How can I make it better ?
Do you think they'll fix this??? Surely this can't be how it's supposed to be? It's one of the most infuriating things ever
Probably not
It honestly feels like an oversight 😫
Got it! Went for a more natural vibe to my island, inspired by City Folk and the other classic games
All of the paths are dirt, and the buildings are somewhat randomly scattered around (except for the shop and tailors, which are together like in Wild World)
@vernal oxide pics of ur entrance would be nice!
Also that weird cluster in the valley to the top beach is just temporary flower breeding spots (working on blue roses)
Honestly the way you have to relocate buildings in this game is one of the worst examples of game design I've ever seen asdfghj
@silent thistle That looks crazy already :)
@acoustic adder the top two are my entrance. In between them I have a fountain with a sitting area. I can make a video and dm it to you
This was my old entrace,ive cleared the entire inland so im starting fresh,any idea's?
@vernal oxide if ur online I can just come visit with a dodo
@acoustic adder yeah give me one sec. I’ll dm you
Any tips to spruce up my entrance? It just looks weird to me and I can’t figure out what to do anymore. Also to the left I have a chess area lol
Edit: resident services is top right, pretty close hence the bridge
ignoring the tree and able sisters (which i’m relocating), any ideas on what i can place here since resident services is so close to the beach from both the side and bottom?
current entrance leading up to trading spot
Those dirt paths are amazing, where did you get them?
And I think a house could fit there well, or a beachside campsite
@dim wind maybe add some more flowers to match the blue roses?
posted this earlier but here are marshal and raymond’s yards!!
decided to finally start a neighborhood :p (also i want to put something on the small spot on the right side of marshal’s yard but i can’t place anything and now it just looks weird :c any tips?)
@dawn flicker the code for the path is 6647-9230-4716! it’s nine slots so a bit much ahah but thank you for the ideas
@weak aspen ooh yes good idea! The flowers do seem quite lonely now that I look at it 🥺 thank you!!
@echo sparrow you could maybe put down a custom pattern in that small spot f you have one with some little flowers or something?
omg you life saver tysm i didn’t think of that
trying to make room for custom designs so i was wondering which rock design people prefer more
woahhh i'd use both
thoughts?
maybe right NJDNSD its hard cause a lot are alrady simalar to right so left? idk
they’re a little weird but i like that it fills up the space
@weak aspen mostly everyone uses the one on the right and i personally would but the mossy ones are rlly cool too! sorry i rlly didn’t provide an answer LOL
thoughts?
@echo sparrow its kinda weir dbecause of the square shape
@weak aspen I would pick the one on the right bc it seems to have more contrast but I also find that patterns tend to look different at night than in daylight... 😬
I also like the ones on the right
@echo sparrow I think I prefer it over nothing but if you had a more subtle / smaller pattern it might seem more natural
do you have a good/more natural looking one i could use? @stuck trail @tired arch
anybody have good inspo for a close resident services :((( it’s so hard trying to figure out how to make a nice looking entrance
If you want to cover it up so that it’s not visible from the entrance use cliffs or lots of trees
@abstract token not my picture but i love the look of bridges near the entrance ahah
Oh that’s really neat
ooooh that’s super nice
saved 
but even their resident services is like a good 5 spaces farther than mine ☹️
anybody have good inspo for a close resident services :((( it’s so hard trying to figure out how to make a nice looking entrance
@abstract token yep! @tiny egret showed me this when i was stumped yesterday
just cover it with a waterfall sculpture ^^
thank you i’m starting to feel there is hope haha
but even their resident services is like a good 5 spaces farther than mine ☹️
@abstract token
this is what i did with mine haha
yeah haha i was planning on resetting but i also got these from @silk ermine and @clever pagoda

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/681277827244621855/728645871423717487/image0.jpg
also i wanted the trees/flowers in between houses to act as a separator between lawns/houses but i put a log decorative shelf where the stone fence was going to go bc having it in front of the fence looked too crowded ): but now it doesn’t separate the houses like i want it to... tips? should i just get rid of the tree and flower idea D:
@full kayak that is so nice i love the palm tree lights and the sign 😍
vaporwave tease
literally i love it
@echo sparrow what sort of fence were you planning you use? I might just fence it in as usual but end it where the log shelves start (if that makes any sense lol 😭)
@tired arch aww thanks! i tried to go for a grand vegas-y entrance and that was as good as it got
@full kayak ooh i can see that now ^^ its looking rlly good :)
well the stone fence is in the back behind the log shelves. the stone fence is supposed to be where the shelves are
@full kayak that is so nice i love the palm tree lights and the sign 😍
@abstract token thank you !! hard to make-do with the close entrance
but i like how the shelves looks in that spot
this how close we talkin lol
Working on getting flowers, what kind of furniture should I put in Marinas yard?
this might work for you @abstract token
@echo sparrow oohhhh I see I see. honestly with the bookshelf there, I think there's enough of a visual barrier that you could probably get away without doing the fence for marshal
Working on getting flowers, what kind of furniture should I put in Marinas yard?
@still sage pink pink pink pink pink pink pink pink pink
should i maybe take away the two end flowers and extend the fence for raymond and then put a stone fence for marshal? i just rlly like how the flowers look but it still looks odd to me
@still sage mermaid 
this how close we talkin lol
@abstract token i think mine is exactly that close too! and crooked like yours 😦
@stuck trail do I look like I can afford mermaid stuff 😳
@tired arch I’m getting pink flowers in the yard... I’m unsure if some more pink furniture I could get 🤔
any lawn ideas for Lolly, Raymond, Fauna, Marshal, Cookie, Pashmina, or Judy?
@echo sparrow I'd try it out and see what you think!
@fallen citrus fauna always talks about reading and she always studies my flowers, so i gave her a sort of overgrown library area! i think it really suits her and it looks super cool (:
@fallen citrus pretty small, but here’s my raymond lawn :p i put in the server bc his house is very tech-like and also matches the roof and outline. the chairs and table are black to also match and a cute little chessboard bc he seems to be pretty intelligent. i also picked some flowers that matched his home!
@abstract token mine is a similar distance. I ended up hiding my RS behind some cliffs and making a feature of those.
i havent decorated marina's house yet so idk ive been putting her off because i dont have much pink yet just go for furniture items that are both pink and white or just white i'd say @still sage
@still sage maybe the pink and white cute set?
@fallen citrus marshal has his own cafe on my island. Bottom right picture
when in doubt: waterfall feature 
@abstract token i think it depends if you want a 'open' RS, or you want to hide it. if youd rather not see it then maybe you could hide it with a cliff and create a path that goes from the airport to the left or right side of your island
@stoic pawn i was thinking about doing that but i've got Maple as well and she reads a lot and talks about her dairy but i don't want to have 2 libraries/book themed lawns
Working on getting flowers, what kind of furniture should I put in Marinas yard?
@still sage marina is in my water bungalow area so maybe you could add some water to it? Top row of pictures
no yeah that’s what i’m thinking, i kinda wanna hide it so i guess it’s time to experiment with cliffs 😰
@echo sparrow i love the chessboard
@stoic pawn i was thinking about doing that but i've got Maple as well and she reads a lot and talks about her dairy but i don't want to have 2 libraries/book themed lawns
@fallen citrus maybe a baking area/bakery?
@fallen citrus give fauna a little crafty area. like with a sewing kit and whatnot
just give fauna cottagecore theme thats what i did before i let her go </3
@twilit lintel you are truly talented I could never make something like that lol
My RS is directly behind those cliffs in the middle
@fallen citrus thanks! and here’s what i did for marshal! just a cute little mini outdoor library. i’m still trying to find a path of flowers to put on that empty patch of grass on the right :p but yeah
@still sage sure you can! Just maybe add a palm tree and a small pond! And some pink lilies and you’ll be good to go!
my rocks won't spawn at all, let alone in this garden i'm trying to make. are the spaces too close?
@twilit lintel I’ll work on that thank you!
@still sage no problem!!!
haha so many of my villagers enjoy reading but i can't have them all with libraries i'll probably give fauna a garden bakery.
@full kayak you might have better luck asking in #garden-science-discussion
@full kayak you might have better luck asking in #garden-science-discussion
@stuck trail hmm okay ill try, thanks!
@fallen citrus Marshal & Judy
@plain forge so cuteeeeee
ogmgg i love ur island theme @plain forge
their yards really pop against that pathing!
Anyone got some good natural entrance inspo??
their yards really pop against that pathing!
@stuck trail thats what i was thinking omg its so pretty
Anyone got some good natural entrance inspo??
@mighty ravine this was sent earlier ^^
@fallen citrus ty <3 I have Raymond too but I didn't get a pic of his yard before I moved him to a different location :( but I put brown rattan furniture in his!
Oh wow thats so pretty ♥️
@tired arch ty!! ^^ I'm actually remodeling now to do a LA city theme hehe
@tired arch ty!! ^^ I'm actually remodeling now to do a LA city theme hehe
@plain forge omggg i love themes like that, excited to see what u do with it ^^ update us
@plain forge that would look so good as well omggg
where can i find some cool fonts to write on simple panels
Going crazy on how layout nook and able sister shops. I want to have them together and next to the airport and residents but going crazy on the layout and what items to put around lol.
I relate i need garden benches i think for ables but i dont have the recipe and i dont wann pay crafting fees
@scenic siren my nooks doesn’t have much besides bikes and scooters. But this is what I did for Ables( a sewing area and clothing display) It’s not too far from my entrance
@vernal oxide omg thanks for sharing is giving great ideas ty
my island would look better if i had a few statues but people sell them for so much and redd hasnt come to my island in like 2 months 😔
@stoic pawn if you find a day with redd, you can farm him. If you tt forward a day, save, then go back to the day of redd you can purchase a new item! But you didn’t hear that from me 🤫
i have like 0 art bc lowkey only got past the beginning part recently my museaum is seriously craving art but i want a statue garden
@naomicd I know people go over board with the prices and @envy I was about to tell him the same thing
@stoic pawn when i was getting statues i found the cheapest way (w/o tt) was to buy direct from him on others' islands. entry fees tend to be lower than buying the item straight up
anyone know how to transition from urban to natural/nature?
@vernal oxide ahh thanks so much i definitely didnt hear that from you 😌 @stuck trail oh yeah i hadnt thought of that! thanks heaps (:
@stuck trail that is also true I forgot about that way 😅
@stuck trail yes yes that's another way or sometimes theres no fee
can i hire someone to make my island look like a city
lol I don't tt (nothing wrong with it, just personal preference) so i had to get a little creative 😂
@fresh steeple getting rid of paths was what i did first, then i used island designer website to plan what i kind of wanted rivers and cliffs to look like and i did that, everything else just kind of follows once youve changed a few things
This is the water that I could fit with the tree, what can I do to make it look better?
@still sage rounding the corner would make it look a lot better!
@stoic pawn with the tree there I can’t round that top right corner 😢
@still sage don't round off the bottom corner to make a sharper point but round off the curved top part
@stuck trail yeah that’s understandable. My dad doesn’t like tt either 😂
does anyone know if its possible to hire someone to make my island look like a city?
@still sage when in doubt, slap more flowers on it.
@vale echo any decorating on your island would have to be done by you. The only thing others can do is plants flowers or if you’re best friends, dig up trees. You can always post pictures of a section and ask for help, opinions or suggestions. Everyone is super friendly and helpful.
@stoic pawn i'll try that, thank you!
Like this?
@vernal oxide the thing is my whole island is empty and i dont have terraforming
@still sage you could try making the heart go the other way or did you already try that?
where should i put the stall?
where should i put the stall?
@grim stag 2nd!
@vale echo I would say start with getting to three star. Do you have Isabelle yet?
yes i have two stars i need more flowers
@stoic pawn There is actually an app just like nookazon. It's called ac exchange downloads
@still sage I think what might look better is to make a circle pond that's big enough to have a single spaced stepping spot in the middle where you can place a flower or single spaced furniture to go with the yard!
i use nookazon
this isn't really about layout but how do you get the photo's from the in-game camera?
@vale echo okay! So I would start with getting different kinds of flowers, Leif sells all kinds, as well as you can also ask #flower-plants-trade, or nookazon. I’ll dm you a video on how to get hybrids so you can have more flowers until Isabelle is satisfied which is like never 😂
@fallen citrus left trigger and there's a camera option next to nook miles
@fallen citrus take pictures using the switch and then send it to your twitter
@twilit lintel i don't have a twitter account 😭
Oh wait you meant how to post them oops haha; you can link a Twitter or fb acc
Going crazy on how layout nook and able sister shops. I want to have them together and next to the airport and residents but going crazy on the layout and what items to put around lol.
@scenic siren this is what’s around my nook and ables
@plain forge do i need to make an account?
@still sage I meant like do this
@vale echo I can give you some flowers!
@vernal oxide im trying a make a pattern in front of m island with white pink and black
@fallen citrus yeah
@marsh cliff thanks
@vale echo Isabella and terraforming by having ties around and items too
@plain forge guess im going to have to make one just for AC
@plain forge I’ll try that!
@vale echo DM me your dodo, I have mostly hybrids as extra.
@fallen citrus Lmaooo do it; I'm using my regular twitter acc that I've had since 2012 and my followers prob think I'm crazy for posting AC stuff and deleting it right away 😂
@plain forge hahahah i'll just make it so no one ik can find me
Gaaah! I need ideas! My island is nature themed and i have NO idea what do put here! I have a cafe, and a market type. Any ideas??
@torpid cosmos
@stuck trail I'm dying to come across someone with a life sized chess board when I visit islands 😭 one daaaaaay.
@marsh cliff were you here for the lifesize chess discussion earlier today? @vernal oxide dug up some pretty great example pics 🤣
@marsh cliff yess!! I still have the screenshots lol there’s also a Harry Potter island that did one too but I didn’t see that one
OH MY HEART.
With shrubs?
@plain forge ayyy i got it to work (haha posted the wrong photo before)
@still sage I would round the edges rather than putting something in the middle but that’s my opinion
Y'all, I was imagining a classic board with Redd statues as the pieces. But I'm living for the duck army. My life is complete.
@still sage I think that's cute! You can prob round some corners to make it less square, unless you like it that way :)
@fallen citrus woohoo! Looks good hehe
It looks great thank you for all the advice lol, Any furniture I should put?
I finally got actual pictures of my shops lol
@still sage if it's marina you can put some flamingos or a customized pink palm lamp!
@plain forge great idea!
any ideas on how i should make my entrance look like
@pale acorn do you have a theme you want? You could do waterfalls, cliffs with maybe a bridge? Natural with a bunch of trees
@pale acorn do you have a theme you want? You could do waterfalls, cliffs with maybe a bridge? Natural with a bunch of trees
@vernal oxide my theme is cute
@pale acorn you could do waterfalls or maybe keep it simple with flowers
@pale acorn I have same airport and resident services so
@pale acorn the third one is mine. But these are some entrances that have been posted
cool ideas
@pale acorn you can also type in the top right search bar “in:island-layouts has: image:cute entrance” and it’ll pull up a bunch of pictures of others’ entrances!
anyone got a beach themed campsite?
@vernal oxide now issabell is saying to get a variety of trees probaly cause i have none
Anyone have something like medieval cafe?
Does anyone have the picture of the flower mix combinations?
@sweet anchor this is off of a youtube video
TY you guys! 🤍
@pale acorn
does anyone know or have any experience with an island that is completely flat?
@woven drift I’ve made my island flat like 5 times and then rebuilt it
Do you like it? or did you regret it?
@vale echo okay! So make sure you have the 5 different fruit trees as well as coconut trees planted. I would say maybe have 5 or 6 of each. And make sure to have the hardwood trees and the cedar ones as well!
Does anyone have the picture of the flower mix combinations?
@sweet anchor
the idea of having to terraform starting with a flat island scares me 
this is kinda what i got going on right now but i just don’t see how i can incorporate hills in the way i want ,,
the idea of me terraforming after already starting to move buildings scares me
does anyone have all the fruit
the idea of terraforming scares me
^
@vale echo #fruit-vegetable-trade
thank you
ive never even terraformed before i havent gotten kk yet
@woven drift I’m happy with it now. This is my map now
@vale echo okay! So make sure you have the 5 different fruit trees as well as coconut trees planted. I would say maybe have 5 or 6 of each. And make sure to have the hardwood trees and the cedar ones as well!
@vernal oxide I don’t believe you need all the fruit trees to have a 5 star. I don’t. I only have cedar, bamboo, coconut, and the hardwood ones.
ive held off upgrading my house at all so its still tiny, but im not sure if i want to upgrade it since i suck at decorating
@woven drift are you wanting to add hills in places or just remove some of the existing ones? I ended up using the island designer to add hills to my map so I wouldn't have to flatten it, and then I was able to move buildings to where I knew they would be out of my terraforming zone
@primal sentinel I was so excited to terraform when I first got kk and now I'm like pls... Can I just select an entire section and delete
ugh you guys have such nice islands haha i’m so jealous!
can i just select my entire island and delete
lmao i dont even know how it works, i just wanna make my island look pretty
@twilit lintel that works! I know when I started this new island she was being such a pain about trees and such
@stuck trail i guess i’m just not really good at that type of terraforming, i’m more comfortable with water so i’m not creative enough to think of good hill designs
@twilit lintel it’s such a cute map! i love how each villager has their own area, i tried to do all the villagers in one area but i felt like it was too repetitive
@woven drift most of my island is flat. I’m no good at terraforming hills. But the way my island is set up, I don’t rly need the hills.
@twilit lintel it’s such a cute map! i love how each villager has their own area, i tried to do all the villagers in one area but i felt like it was too repetitive
@woven drift yes and no. It just depends on your theme and what you want on your island. My villagers are integrated into the island so they have a role in it. I have also seen that my villagers are exploring the island more since they are walking to visit their friends or to certain parts to get to now rather than staying in same areas because they don’t need to go so far when visiting their friends
@woven drift I'm the same way honestly (more comfortable with water) and based on that I would recommend not flattening your island... play around with your existing cliffs first, build some new baby cliffs, get a feel for it. bc if you have a entirely flat island and have to start adding cliffs when you're not super comfortable building them, I imagine it being a very painful process lol 
I have also seen that my villagers are exploring the island more since they are walking to visit their friends
CUTE 🥺
@stuck trail super true. I got rid of my cliffs and had nothing to work with. And I’m terrible at designing hills. So I gave up on that aspect and focused on decorating to make up for my lack of skills in terraforming hills
@twilit lintel that's exactly what would have happened to me. and it's fine to have an island that's primarily flat (yours looks great!) but I knew I would regret it bc I really enjoy cliffs... I'm just bad at them lol
Keep practicing with the hills by just experimenting with smaller ones. The skills you learn apply to the bigger ones 🙂
@stuck trail lol I regret it but also don’t because it gave me the opportunity to be more creative with my decorations, especially my use with the simple panels. Plus I don’t need hills on my island too much since it’s a tropical resort. More modern than tropical really.
I would love ideas and help designing my island
@tulip wolf check the pins. There’s a list of ideas you can add to your island
Does anyone have any ideas for Zucker’s yard? Idk what to do with it.
@keen tundra sushi restaurant! Or any Japanese theme restaurant with fish hehe since he's always fishing for snacks
That’s a good idea thank you! @plain forge
sushi restaurants these days are probably booming with the discovery of all these new sea creatures...
idk if putting an octopus in zucker's restaurant would be funny or sad 😳
Ikr I'm a lil sad that my theme is no longer gonna be Japanese because of the sea creatures 😤🔪
When I had him I put a whole takoyaki stall next to his house, I thought it was hilarious 
@plain forge you're still gonna do a little tokyo though right?? you can sneak a few in there 
Yessss best boy Genji's gonna run Little Tokyo
What do you think? I had trouble fitting the flamingos
Squid can have a little squid, it’s not harming anyone 👀
The hydrangeas when green are so cute I wish it were permanent
They always look blue at night to me, so do the purple mums
Hello everyone ! I need some help. Could anyone give me suggestions on where to put rivers ? I also want to make a few small islands here and there and connect them with bridges.
@still sage super cute!!
Does anyone have bamboo forests inspo this is mine rn
A new addition to Zuckers yard 👀
Does anyone have bamboo forests inspo this is mine rn
@fringe garden i used just bamboo tree, and mainly stone furnitures. Also, the bamboo wish tree is meant for indoor or house decorations
I’m redoing my island and this the first house done! ✔️ •The Tree Isn’t Grown Yet•
I added shell lamps and now Marina is neighbors with Marshal. He must be hard to deal with cause she already wants to move out.
@worn heath super cute! but omg for a sec I thought that shrub was the top of the tree and I thought it was the oddest looking sapling I had ever seen 😭 clearly it is time for me to go to sleep lmao
this is my current map!! i’m making a dreamy/cute theme inspired by sailor moon, does anybody have any tips of how to make some neighbourhoods
@drifting light when you finish, I gotta visit! I loveeeee sailor moon
what can i put to the left of her yard? looking for a small item
I forgot what it’s called but the diy bucket where you wash your clothes, or maybe a rattan towel basket. These are shorter items tho
@twilit lintel sure!! it'll take a while but i'll let you know once my island is done <333
I forgot what it’s called but the diy bucket where you wash your clothes, or maybe a rattan towel basket. These are shorter items tho
@fringe garden I think youre talking about the old-fashioned washtub?
@paper path or you could put a gnome
@stoic pawn yup that is what I was thinking of!
Heey everyone, anyone have any Bamboo forest/zen area inspo pictures? Muchly appreciated 😊❤
i need inspo for a park
@tired arch this is one of my residential parks 😊
aww simple & cute just what im going for thank u!!!
@tired arch it's okay!
Any islands i can visit for inspiration? 🙂
@tepid marten #690093605821480980 and #mysterybags-and-yardsales 
Heya - I have this little chunk of land where I want to put something... naturey? But I’ve hit a wall.
What ideas do you guys have/any suggestion what to use it for?
looking for diana outside house inspo
What should I put for Dobie’s yard?
@still sage i believe dobie loves reading so a library maybe?
@remote sand You could make a picnic in the woods sort of thing? like a picnic blanket custom design and the picnic basket surrounded by cedar trees and flowers?
My Dobie is a detective
@remote sand it's a cute lil nook so maybe some kind of picnic area? (im late omfghf) otherwise maybe a cafe or fishing area?
Ooo like bookshelves and such?
Idk why but when I see dobie I picture him in a warm fire place with firewood scattered
He’s got a reclusive cabin but still working on a case 🙂
i missed the pipwyn storyline pls :(((
2 suggestions for a picnic area so that sounds like a plan. Now to trawl through the page and find inspiration 😄 thanks all
Worked on dobies house today lol
My lavender farm is almost finished! Took a lot of inspiration from the great @versed wadi 😊
And my city is coming along as well
@gloomy helm love the lavender farm. That was what I wanted to do originally but I was too lazy to farm all the purple hyacinth 😆

I completely understand! I still need a lot of purple hyacinths to completely finish it, but I traded some on here and farmed a lot. It’s a slow process but so rewarding 🤩 And thank you!!
Before... then after anyone like it?
I just payed for a diy I already knew 😞
@nova quest
My small zen garden. It is very basic but i like it :)
Can you share the path codes? I think Walts yard would look good in a Zen Garden! @lavish monolith
@still sage Here you go :)
I also used it for Roscoe's yard. It turned out cute
Awesome!
cani see someones city themed island
quick question before I move my camp... if I put my camp in the light dirt path 4x4 square, the 5x4 for a player tent is too close right ?
made this tropical flower sign to welcome summer :-) any feedback welcome!
Anyone have natural river map inspo?
i kinda don't like this, can anyone help me improve it? my theme is cottagecore/fairycore :)
@gleaming bay yes i think its a it close
@patent scaffold That's an awesome sign!
yeah figured thanks
Hi people, I am a bit stuck (again) I made several areas. The last are a cafe with an arcade behind it and next to it on the beach a tiny casino and behind that I am trying to make a wedding area. The beach is a bit small there
@woeful ravine i dont know how you could improve it to me it looks good
Hi, Anyone have the ‘monster statue’? Can I see your ideas and what you’ve done with it? Thanks
Hello, I am absolute garbage at designing islands and was wondering if anyone could spare some time to help me improve
i could look at it but im not sure if any good
@valid shuttle i could take a bit of time to try and help
Oh, thank you
Any idea on what to put here ?
omghdhd i finally got a 5 star island im hshshs
@valid shuttle are you going to send pictures or do you want me to come to your island
Whatever is more convenient
I’m still struggling
im thinking
@valid shuttle ill come to your island
a flower shop would look good there @frozen granite
Alright let me get a code
Maybe something a little creepy
the flowers will pick up on the mostly grey color pallet
Maybe
@valid shuttle just mesage me the dodo code
cemetery is the only creepy thing i can think of lol
You could do something like an abandoned classroom..?
Just finished my beachside sushi bar, quite happy with it. Any input or is this enough?
thats amazing i dont really see how you can improve
Thoughts on a residential area that uses two cul de sacs of 5 villagers each?
@atomic quest there’s a custom patter. I’ve seen that makes the napkin on the chopping board look like a piece of Salmon Sashimi
cul de sacs are not easy to pull off because all the houses face one direction but it certainly is possible and has been done before
I guess I’ll try find some examples so I can do it right
has som1 pictures of a graveyard?
@versed wadi dont have anymore slot free lol. If I had, would've used it to change the stall design too x, x
https://mobile.twitter.com/C_Butt0n/status/1251674321312903168?s=19
Found a cul de sac design
It’s still under production but I’m super proud of this. It’s a vintage-style New York Harbor, any thoughts?
anyone have a cool island i can look at for inspo?
@stray prairie finally finished this spot :)
@lavish monolith love it
can someone come to my island for some ideas i need inspiration btw my island is empty
should i change my rock formation into a circle? at first i tried doing a circle but the rocks kept going on top of the sand ):
Anyone want to dumb down to me how I make the river on the right look more natural? I will be moving ables and nooks eventually. I'm working on my islands in sections, top left is done. Top right next. Yes I already have a plan for the south river exit.
There’s a good mini guide on making rivers more natural in this tweet... Starter guide to terraforming: https://twitter.com/eggotchi/status/1250278044842917888?s=21
Thank youuu
Anyone have museum inspiration that they would be willing to share? Maybe with some fossils or redd statues?
I get too worried that my rivers will look toooo squiggly but thank you for sharing it was helpful😊@versed wadi
What design should I give Lolly’s backyard?
anyone have pics of their museum? need inspo for decoration:)
anyone have pics for their entrances? need inspiration for my new entrance and how to make it better.
@hidden gyro thank you ♥
@civic bison @noble root

@slim fable did u mean RS??
@slim fable this is mine x
@slim fable :>> my RS was a bit in the middle so i added the lounge to center it !

Please help me choose
the 1st one has a cream-ish color not white, sorry for the terrible quality
some of my favorite spots i'll miss since i'm remakig my island! ^^
@opal perch i kinda like the second one, it goes well with the rocks behind it butt idkk

That’s an awesome looking setup for her 🙂
@opal perch I like the right one way more
has anyone done lots of waterscaping and/or has a tropical theme and would be willing to let me tour their island? 🥰 I will tip!
Has anybody got a heavily terraformed cottagecore island, I'm looking for inspo
@surreal magnet mine is a bit more natural than cottagecore but here’s how I terraformed my map
Tysm guys
Hello, I need design ideas for the outside of both ables and nooks. Im thinking of putting them kind of next to each other. Please can you send me pics for inspo. Thankss
Just finished my new residential area!
@marble stump @night gorge ty for your input, i went with the 2nd/right one :)
^^
any feedback about my future island
what do you guys usually put/do around the Resident Service area?
what do you guys usually put/do around the Resident Service area?
@slim fable singing/karaoke area, campsite, bridges idrk
@slim fable I've put ramps on either side leading up to some paths, my house, museum and one of the three residential areas. On ground level I have Nook's on the left of the RS and Able's on the right
What is it missing?
waterfalls and bushes?
does anyone have any ideas for a beach themed island because im a bit stuck
does anyone have any ideas for a beach themed island because im a bit stuck
@glacial bear what have you got so far
maybe you could use the palm tree lamps, and make like a « ibiza waterfall » area, put many palm trees and tropical flowers, karaoke zone etc
@glacial bear put this in the search bar: “in:island-layouts has:image tropical”. Lots of people here use a tropical theme, you can find a lot of inspiration this way
anyone have suggestions for my ice cream parlour? it feels like it's missing something but I'm not sure how far I can take it with such a compact space. i do plan on getting a red counter though
id say try maybe push everything back? so the counter is as far back as it can be and the counter chairs are right beside it, then mayybe you can fit another counter for people to sit and eat icecream or smthn
@limber ginkgo maybe push the chairs closer to the counter so u can have more room
does anyone have tips on cnnecting a staircase with a path so it doesnt look odd? the stairs are all 2 blocks wide, but i feel like paths are better 3 wide. i could make it symmetrical with 4 wide but it also looks too thick
Anyone have some myshroom forest inspo? If you do, could you please DM me the ideas so then I have them in an easy to access place? Thank you!
@hidden thorn @outer saffron Ty for the advice!
@forest dagger u can curve it so maybe it can look skinnier
If you have a 5 star island can I join please ? 🙂 Dm
@woven drift it’s not my island but here is some inspo
Can i see some of your guys entrances please
Here’s my entrance
Hiii, I don’t know what I need to do here. Can anybody maybe send me some ideas!! 😖☺️☺️
@woven drift that looks really cool thanks
Not my island buh I rarely see city theme inspo !
@amber hull u can maybe put the same flowers that u have on the other side the same on the at side so it can be symmetrical(if that makes sense), and ucan also put a cliff or a like a bench with a plant and flowers around it
heehee
Looking for people use this path, I need inspiration
@sinful juniper this is not my island but this is just inspo
@languid elbow I haven’t used it but u can use it leading up to ur campsite

@eternal geode That is a good Idea, i have so many straight ways, I don’t know how to use this
Thanks guys your entrances are really cool
Can someone possibly help me plan out my island better
Hey, any of you guys got some ideas to fill the big orange place ? I got a city themed island so something in this style would be really appreciated
@tidal coral I need to know what u already have so I don’t repeat things u already done
Wait imma take some pics
Ok
@sinful juniper
I’m trying to make like a fake pagoda/building type thing but idk what to put on the stalls
@eternal geode im done with those pictures, do i send them in private ?
@ornate meadow it looks fine with me but if u want to put something there u can me a water fall
@tidal coral yes sure
still can't get my rock to spawn ;_;
my sixth rock is either somewhere on my island that I can't see, or just glitched out. Please help me. I've tried restarting my switch and planting weeds, (although I'm not sure how many weeds I'm supposed to plant or what the deal was with that.)
these two have been hanging out all morning 🥺
which cliffs look shapewise more like clouds ? the ones on the left or the ones around the moon
@brittle isle I like the ones on the left
okie ty ! i’ve been struggling to get them to blend in so idk
Has anyone got any museum area designs they can show me? I've drawn a blank on how to decorate it like 5 times now ;u;
any tips on how to make this look better - i’m not really liking it
any tips on how to make this look better - i’m not really liking it
@thick zinc maybe add some white and pink flowers? something muted
@thick zinc some tiki torch and surfboards?
@lavish monolith @shell tendon okie!! thanks 🙂
anyone have any small scenery ideas? such as picnics, gardens etc
What can i put on this reflecting pool? I dont like these statues. I feel like it should take 2x1 space. Thoughts?
Whats the best approach to start terraforming? Ie: build cliffs first, rivers next, etc. I also have sooo many flowers and trees.
any feedback?
does anyone out there have a design to share for "sandy" (located near the beach) residential areas?
Ui! Looking good! @manic sigil
Wow Everyone’s islands look awesome can I come to one pls
Anyone with a natural island doing a tour. Looking for some inspiration.
Farm wip 🙂
Where should I put my shop ? Just reset my save file
Does anybody have any tips or ideas for things I can put in this empty space, I've been trying to decorate it for hours and I just have no clue what to do
@tidal pollen I'd say put everything on the beach first, so you save time and money if you'd like to move them again after unlocking terraforming :)
@woven drift Maybe add some garden/iron tables and chairs with coffee cups or candles on them? A fountain, drink/snack machines, streetlamps and park clocks would be nice too I'm sure!

@woven drift Ty!
@woven drift If you've got any of Redd's statues (gallant, valiant, etc) they'd look pretty cool there too :)

@woven drift thanks so much I didn't think of that
got a papa bear in a balloon and put it in the plaza, does it look alright?
@young basin Looks cute! Maybe have the bear and brick well switch places though so the bears looks like it's naturally leaning into the corner? :)
oh yeah, that totally makes sense! thank u <3
Francine's frontyard
should I keep this pathing or change it to something else?
@woven drift thanks !
Finally finished my campground and cafe!! I couldn’t get the full kitchen to the right in the frame oopsie this was my first attempt at terraforming 😅 still is overwhelming
should i change up my entrance?
@runic river it looks amazing!!
Looks good
Is this design good or I need to fix something?
@brittle haven Looks great! Are you thinking of trying to use diagonal paths?
@woven drift diagonal paths??
Something like this!
I might use that
Or more something like this?
or THE PATH
Normal pathing works too of course but the game isn't too good at having diagonal/angled paths 😂
Does anybody have any tips or ideas for things I can put in this empty space, I've been trying to decorate it for hours and I just have no clue what to do
@woven drift
Finished entrance ! 
anyone got graveyard/cemetery inspo?
@bleak pier
@brittle haven looks really cute and natural! You’re missing a pond so I’d add one 🙂
Hi, does anyone have light house inspo please?
@bleak pier

I'd love some idea's for my garden...like what floor to use/or what else to add...i do plan on adding more pansy tables later..but what else ?..or should i change it entirely ?[brown spot is where stairs will be]
ty c:
What could I do with this plot next to my museum?
@raven pike cottagecore
I know this is probably better suited to #game-help-questions❓ but it's kind of a madhouse over there, and I think it's a somewhat relevant question here: Can you roll a snowball to make a snowboy over terraformed paths / flowers? ⛄ I'm designing my island but I'm not in the SH so I'm wondering if I need to keep some open spaces in my layout for making snowboys this winter
Guys, opinion question, what is the best looking incline?
Guys, opinion question, what is the best looking incline?
@icy sedge depends of the theme of your island
the brown wooden stairs in my op
@icy sedge I like the natural and log inclines since I have a more natural / simple island
I've been using wooden bridges, and I'm try to keep the theme more natural/minimal. (For example, I've been placing objects like hammocks on the beach a picnic spot, a little seating area, but not like a whole Cafe or bowling alley or anything huge.)

@stuck trail you can roll them over flowers and they can spawn there too. If you roll them over paths they will get smaller. They need about the same amount of space as a rock to spawn but you can always clear an area later on for them to spawn in if it gets too full
@icy sedge I use the natural incline for my island! (I have a natural island)
@woven drift @stuck trail Thanks! I think that's the one I'm going to go for! Plus it's cheap haha 🙈
All of my inclines are the natural incline as well
Does anyone have a country/farm themed area that I could see for some inspiration? I wanna make a pigsty type thing for my pig villagers
@lucid wind this is my farm/country area it’s changed slightly since
My blueberry farm, although I’m gonna have to figure out something else to do here soon since the hydrangea season is almost over
https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1266743047699619842?s=21
@lucid wind not mine, but I found a pretty cool make-shift barn on twitter yesterday (user @ poppypier in case you want to look them up)
@versed wadi thank you! Love your island btw, watched Chase Crossing's tour on YouTube!
Anyone have any ideas for a fruit tree areas?
@lucid wind not mine, but I found a pretty cool make-shift barn on twitter yesterday (user @ poppypier in case you want to look them up)
@stuck trail This is great, thank you!
LF: An Island who use this cute path or a similar, I need inspiration, I will give you a gift
@lucid wind thank you. yeah that’s about how it still is in the tour video.
Any layout ideas for my entire island? where all the stores and houses would go. A map picture will help, please help me im really stuck and unsure.
@flat portal try searching "in: island-layouts has:image map"
Could someone show me what they did for the entrance of their island? Preferably one without a fountain and stuff. I’m at a bit of a loss for what to do with my entrance
anyone have a grid or a blueprint or smth on how i can recreate this?
@still crypt try searching "in: island-layouts has:image entrance"
Entrance to my natural and hella overgrown island https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1279425241349935111?s=21

Which bench do you guys think looks best?? I need help 🥺
I think the first one looks better @gray spruce
Hello, I'm in need of some help. I wanna start a whole new town layout and was wondering if someone can help me out with some ideas on it. I'm not that great with this type of stuff so the help would be really appreciated
What colour way looks better? 😊🍄
@nova quest I think I like the white better for fall because you have all the red in the trees already. It would be fun to make them red in the winter though to add a pop of color (:
@median marlin @stuck trail thanks!
Which path would you suggest for a foresty area? (Not being The Path™)
@nova quest I like the first one :)
@static pasture are you looking for a custom path suggestion or an in-game path suggestion?
@static pasture thanks!
@stuck trail custom, right now I only have scattered ground path
This is the stone path I use if anyone needs it! ^^
@static pasture do you want a path that "connects" like a dirt or wood path, or one that uses stepping stones/logs/etc?
@nova quest i think that would fit better in #path-codes, but thx :D
@manic sigil someone asked for a path, so was just putting it here if they wanted it.. sorry!
no worries :)
@stuck trail I don't really know, it's my first time doing a nature/forest area.
yeah this whole convo should really be in #custom-design-help🎨 but I'm bored and thought I would try to help 😂 @static pasture I'll dm you some path resources
@stuck trail I'm sorry ajskdksk tysm I can DM you the area I'm working on so you can help me better
@static pasture I used a combination of the dirt and dart dirk path
Lol @ dart dirk
@nova quest how and where do you guys get those mushrooms diy ??
I need inspiration for a zen garden and I don't know where to start. Thank you in advance.
@woven drift I'm northern hemesphere, so I travelled to November & have been collecting them from balloons 😊
@nova quest hoo ok thanks !!🥰
Can y’all send pics of your campsites?
@void juniper
I can’t decide which I like better
Looking for all the qr codes for all these paths
@eternal geode try #custom-design-help🎨 , i think some are in the pins there
can anybody help me what i can put here?
@sullen tendon the dark brown and the white look nice
@sullen mirage ty!
@untold vault outdoor bath or a fountain, picnic area ...
Can y’all send pics of your campsites?
@void juniper
@visual robin super cute!
Ground floor entrance to the museum. What do we think? Anything I can do to make it better?
@woven drift do you wanna come see my island for your tropical theme section? My whole island is tropical theme
Anyone set up a wet suit shop near the beach? Looking for inspiration
@modern wigeon Audie has a surf shack on my beach. It’s a bit outdated since I took the picture before the update, but i replaces the clothes with the wet suit ones. Top left picture
@modern wigeon wetsuit & surf shack!
Hello, I've had the game since it has come out and I have yet to do any major terraforming or decorating, simply because I have no idea where to start. My guest services is pretty close to my airport and I think that is throwing me off a bit. Does anyone have any ideas?
@slim fable hi!! Sorry I was sleeping. This is what I did with my RS area!
My pic is so blurry oml 🤠
heh the sphinx is having a picnic
@pliant sun did you use the switch to take the picture and then transfer it to your Twitter or Facebook? Or did you take it with your phone?
@crystal ravine a lot of people use cliffs to deviate you away to make it seem farther. Or trees to hide it and give it a distant look
@twilit lintel hehe I posted it to twitter but I think my wifi is just slow rn 😢😢 thank u SM
@crystal ravine there’s an awesome starter guide to terraforming in the pinned posts. How close? Do you know how many squares... if it’s not too close (6 or less) you can use cliffs to hide the RS.
@pliant sun some of the in game filters can add some pretty severe depth of field making things in the background blur 🙂
This is better I think 😌💛
A little out of date, but I'm pretty happy about this
thank you guys for the ideas! It's 9 squares so I'm gonna look into adding cliffs and/or trees
I wish I could zoom out more to show off more of my museum entrance
@vernal oxide how dare you to sleep
I made themed yards for each villager based on their interests and personalities 🙂 it took forever! Still looking for some more items that these guys would like in their yards. 🙂
@granite spire I know I know 🥺 I’m attempting to get a good sleep schedule since I go back to work on Monday but I keep staying up until 0500/5am 😭
@stuck bloom are those signposts a diy recipe or a display option I've missed?
No goaway @grave lagoon i see you 😂
@granite spire haha let me😂
@ember ermine they’re a DIY that was customized with the villagers faces
Dang, haven't found that one yet
@granite spire now im scared hahaha
I am trying to do a city/urban themed island and I need ideas for an entrance
Hahha
idk what i was going for with my museum entrance and just winged it, but i kinda like how it turned out
Take a warm shower after you swim in the ocean with this zen outdoor shower by the beach. ✨✨
What should add beside the cacao trees? To the right
@grave lagoon I’ve seen people use yellow hyacinths for a corn field or purple for lavender fields !
@pliant sun thats so creative thnx!!
I need ideas for a beach design that doesn't require patterns 😭 I don't have Nintendo subscription so I'm not able to grab designs from the internet
@compact plume you could do a surfshop or a smoothie bar. This is a picture of my smoothie area which is right by the beach
What items look typically asian beside luck cats? Looking for decoration to put in my asian restaurant 🍛
@smoky bone the gold fish has an Asian like bowl when you display it
@smoky bone here’s a picture I found
Also the imperial set and the bamboo shoot lamps and the gong might be quite nice
it helps a lot thanks! @twilit lintel @coral shale @vernal oxide
Open to other suggestions if others have other ideas 💞
@smoky bone the new bamboo grass item!
this area is right above my res services. should i make this a picnic space (tbh i have a few across my island already) or a garden space? 😮
@hoary remnant the goliath beetle model is huge!!!!! Coooolll
Anyone have any cute entrance pics they can send? I'm needing some inspiration for my island!
@dawn shoal flower garden would look cute there
@dawn shoal garden. Make a garden of only hybrids and lilys of valley.
@livid kindle idk if mine qualifies as cute. But this is mine: (behind the first picture is a fountain with seating that leads to the second picture view)
@vernal oxide that looks cool!
@flint mason yea the model is grand! thanks!
@vernal oxide oh wow I love it! It's so clean and perfect!
@flint mason @livid kindle thank you thank you!
@hoary remnant Im waiting for flick to come over. I have the 3 goliath catch already. I want that model!
Great idea! @pliant sun
@hoary remnant oh wow! That's awesome!
Agh I need help with my island, does anyone mind coming over and giving ideas?
@livid kindle thank you!
@quiet herald It looks good, but I would probably lay more pathways down to cover the whole surface area and then put more decor inside. Maybe use some fencing and panel walls as well.
@rocky badge alright. Thanks!
@twin cliff browse pinterest and tumblr with the acnh tag, lots of good references : )
@quiet herald No problem!
Alright, thanks ^^
I don't really think that popcorn machine goes there...
@quiet herald Eh it isnt bad! I would add like maybe a sofa and some more small tables.
And coffee cups on the table as well.
If you're going for a coffee shop style cafe, I don't think the popcorn machine or grill works with it. But I dont have alot of decor myself so I use what I have until I get more
what could go in the middle of this area? the fountain looked weird :/
also, statues or no statues for my entrance?
@thorn saddle statues
i've spent all day making a maze on my island if anyone is interested in coming to see it :). I would post it here but given the size of it, it's impossible. Drop me a message if interested i have a few people coming over to get some ideas
@thorn saddle statues
what could go in the middle of this area? the fountain looked weird :/
@thorn saddle ??
Statues
what could go in the middle of this area? the fountain looked weird :/
@thorn saddle i dont think anything needs to go in the middle, but putting stuff around the circle (like the bicycle) would look really cool imo
Can anyone help me with ideas for a resident area? Right now I have them kind of just lined up and it’s boring. I want something more dynamic. Any ideas would help!
@foggy holly I've seen someone put their villagers in a culdesac!
@foggy holly here’s my layout rn. They each have a role on my island for the most part.
I spent so long making my villager neighbourhood but I hate how it takes up so much space!!
Here’s my shopping space!
Any ideas for what I should put in this area next to the residents services?
tried to work around how close my town hall was to my airport and I think it turned out pretty nice
@vicc#4630
I love your entrance? Is it okay if I can come visit your island I'll drop a nmt. I just really want inspiration
@solar wind yeah that was the main reason why I decided to remove my residential area
New design @rocky badge.
What you guys think? I did this the whooole day 😭
Let's follow each other on IG! 💞
@tidal glen_acnh
Finally finished placing my rocks
Anyone have ideas for what I should put up here?
Can people please send resident area inspo?!
@craggy swallow library, cafe, greenhouse, bakery...
@wispy tiger are you trying to do a neighborhood or spread your villagers out?
@twilit lintel I think I will try to spread them out
Hello! Does anyone have any mushroom forest inspo? I'm trying to gather as many ideas as possible! Thank you!
Anyone with a cottage core themed island willing to share a photo of their map? For inspo!
Ideas for island scenery? I have a library, cafe, workout area etc.
@woven drift what's your theme?
@wispy tiger I originally had one residential area, and it took a lot of space personally. I prefer having them spaced out so that they each can have their own area and I’ve also noticed that my villagers are exploring the island more than they used to when they were in one area.
anyone have a old timey type island I'm trying to make one and need some inspiration
@woven drift what's your theme?
Dont have a theme really, it's just like somewhat of a neighborhood type thing
@twilit lintel okay that’s helps a lot! Thanks so much!!
@woven drift so you’re just looking for inspo pictures to possibly add to your island?

@lunar sluice please post that in the island visit channel. This channel is for displaying islands and asking for advice
Ideas for island scenery? I have a library, cafe, workout area etc.
@woven drift
i dont see that tab?!
@lunar sluice you need to read the trades-rules-verification channel and confirm it by clicking a certain part
@lunar sluice look at #721542917264638002
@twilit lintel your island is incredible
Anyone have any inspo on how they decorated their nooks cranny? Idk what to do for mine
@real spindle thank you! Still a WIP 😅 @woven drift these are what’s around my stores.
@woven drift I have a small market across from it
@granite spire lmao I’m trying to help. 😅
@vernal oxide I love yours!! 💞🥳
@woven drift thank you!! I struggled for the longest figuring out what I wanted 😂
@granite spire the door is that way ➡️
Sorry was only joking @median marlin

Map of my obstacle course/maze island. Starts from airport to the heart-shaped area
@hoary remnant Are you doing the whole island like a maze??? o.o
What should I put in this area in front of my residential services
@radiant cloud I completed it just few days ago and hosted a few times as well as a challenge, might keep it to that map limit for now
@wispy tiger mine is pretty simple
@wispy tiger I did a music area and put instruments because the villagers are cute when they play them 🥺
any idea what can I build here?
@radiant cloud I completed it just few days ago and hosted a few times as well as a challenge, might keep it to that map limit for now
@hoary remnant You wouldn't by chance have any video footage of the event would you? o.o
Afraid to typ now 😂
@granite spire lmao
Thanks for all of the suggestions!!!
@radiant cloud I only recorded the first 30 seconds as a intro by myself. However, I only take a group photo with all the participants at the heart-shaped area (the finishing line)
Check out my graveyard/rock garden (the graves are set up from order they left bottom to top with the ugly lone grave being Rodneys and if the grave has an incent burner in front of it i liked that villager)
Either way your island looks amazing I like it alot the maze idea is so good and you did it really well ❤️
@radiant cloud thank you! Took me a month to complete it. Best record for participants to reach the finishing line is 30 mins!

@hoary remnant Okay that's pretty intense o.o I did a very small maze that only took a couple of mins. Im encouraged to try again
@radiant cloud oh nice! I made it such that they use the ladder countless times. Probably 70% obstacle course and 30% maze overall
Animal crossing ninja course
Haha sort of🤣
lf someone to design rivers for my island! will pay nmt or bells
I love it. 
If only animal crossing let us put furniture underwater, I would make an underwater maze😂
Oh that would be cool!!!
if i give my villager a swimsuit will they swim 🤔
Now we ask the good questions
Don’t think so, maybe in the future update
I hope Nintendo can let us really dive underwater such that we see all the marine creatures underwater and explore the vastness of it in the future update
Maybe a new map just for underwater or something
Doing an Amsterdam themed islands and I’m wondering what would look nice to put along the canal. I had come café chairs and tables on the other side that you can’t see.
@ocean igloo just things like benches, trash can, phone box, vending machine?
Hello all!
@ocean igloo maybe some shell items such as shell lamps?
@ocean igloo maybe some bikes + the bike stop custom path ?? maybe some more street lights and a few stalls?
hello @wheat trellis
Hey, honestly stumbled across this server and didn't know they made an animal crossing mobile game!! I'm very ecited
So I'm looking on Google play and their seem to be 2 or 3 different ones, which are yu guys playing?
Ooo it all sounds great! Thank you all <33
hi I need help making a mermaid area/tropical area for my 2 villagers. If u have any pics of tropical or mermaid like layouts then plz pm or dm me. tyyy
@ocean igloo bicycles!
@wheat trellis the animal crossing were playing is the one on Nintendo switch called New Horizons. The one on mobile is called pocket camp (Idk if there’s others)
Hey, I'm looking for someone with skills to help me , to do my island on https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
I trying to get my insland in the shape of the Uchiha emblem
My baby Winnie and I
That oarfish looks like it is glowing
the oarfish is astral projecting
I think it is evolving too
He do be looking directly at the light
@granite sinew so my whole theme is tropical. but for 2 residents i put them in this type of water bungalow resort area. the other villagers have an actual job on the island, but these 2 villagers are just residents lol
I got no ideas where to place my shops 
I placed them in between the villagers’ houses though
@silent thistle i placed my shops to the side of resident services, but its separated by a road and fencing
I placed them all on top of the map
@silent thistle unless youre gonna decorate in between the town hall and ur houses, maybe a sortof windy path towards the houses with the shops dotted along? maybe with little stalls and a cafe along the way. depends on your island theme but thats what i envisioned seeing the layout
Recently i switched to cottagecore, and I worked on two of my favorite villagers' houses.
https://twitter.com/ChiefACNH/status/1279491080199696390?s=20
any ideas for items i can put in my outdoor library? i have couches and low tables and books etc but im stumped thinking of any little decorative things
Help! I’m indecisive as heck what should I put here?
@twilit lintel I love your island and that you are always responding to people to help them out with great pics ❤️
Maybe an amusement park?
It’s a small area and it’s too small for that many things
@midnight flume trying to help out as much as i can. i know how hard it is to not figure things out and get stuck on ideas. i only really started using this channel somewhat after i finished my island. so i just want to help out as much as i can.
You can do a smaller one, just half of the items
Maybe
@twilit lintel I totally feel that. I seriously don’t know if I’ll ever finish my island, I keep changing my mind on things and starting whole areas from scratch over and over 😭
@woven drift maybe a board walk? what do you have on your island already?
Lemme look
@woven drift heres my board walk. your space looks deeper in, while mine is just long. but you can always customize your area to how you like it
You can add garden, arcade or themed items, your preferences
Anyone really happy with their villager home layout? Looking for map inspiration
@solar wind what are you planning to do with your villagers? a lot of people like the one residential area. but some like to spread them out. heres my map though. my villagers are spread out and each villager for the most part has a job on the island.
I have this. The top and middle is my garden, the left where the houses are I’m planning to do the same on the other side, the plaza area I’m gonna make kinda like a mall on the right of the plaza and to the left of the plaza is gonna be the campsite and a playground.
The problem is that there are many more resources and furniture than I thought cuz this is my first Animal Crossing game
@twilit lintel that’s a fun idea to make each home a designated shop!
@solar wind heres some of the villagers layout for their shops on my island. i based their shops on their houses but also on their taste.
what am i missing here? what can i replace the tower of pisa with? my flower scheme will be orange and white but i’d love help
What should I put in this empty part in between residents services and the road? I extended residents services a bit using a custom path code, and on the right I have a bit of a resting area with trees and benches
@soft belfry Pagoda?
@cyan glen maybe a bus stop or a snack machine and drink machine
@woven drift i’m a bit clueless what is that
@soft belfry maybe try using custom panels and find a design to make one building cohesive.
@twilit lintel Ty, gonna see how it looks with snack and drink machines!
@soft belfry
@soft belfry this is from @fringe garden. they used customized simple panels, light house, and wedding pipe organs
@twilit lintel that’s genius
@soft belfry they also did something like this
@twilit lintel really smart i wonder how i could incorporate it into what i have
The White House being your house?
@soft belfry i think it just depends on what kind of building you want up there and the theme youre going after. theres a lot of designs out there, you just gotta know what youre looking for.
@twilit lintel ok i’ll poke around i’ll probs be back here again lol
@soft belfry haha no problem!
Since the land I’m working on is next to the beach, do I make it a Tiki cafe?
@woven drift would the pagoda fit here?
@woven drift yeah go for it! I made a tiki bar and restaurant with one of my villagers, but you dont have to use their house to create a cafe. the picture is bottom left one
@soft belfry i dont believe it will. it might need some space
@soft belfry its a 2x2 so no but if you terraform more space behind it, yes
@twilit lintel how did you get that cake?
From ur mom
@woven drift its mom's homemade cake that you get when she delivers you a package
Yes you can customize it
Making a super small LA Art District section and messing around with the panel designs - one has buildings with art/graffiti (pic 1) and the other only has art (2), which one looks better?
WIP of shrine. Needs some items and katanas to complete this.
@granite sinew so my whole theme is tropical. but for 2 residents i put them in this type of water bungalow resort area. the other villagers have an actual job on the island, but these 2 villagers are just residents lol
@twilit lintel that looks so amazing!! what a cool idea!
@west rover thank you!!
@west rover do u have any pictures for references?
@granite sinew they were commenting on my island actually 😅
but heres the pictures again if you need it for references @granite sinew
Any cool diving area inspo?
Any space themed areas inspo?

@twilit lintel I'm not looking for space theme?
nothing special, but decided to go for the green and red mums
@sage jasper oops wrong tag
any tips on creating natural looking rivers?? absolutely regret covering mine 
nothing special, but decided to go for the green and red mums
@long frost Well that works, maybe some purple
purple? 
@dark geyser Try looking up the default maps and copy one that you like. I ended up restarting my island because my resident services placement made it hard to make a nice river.
looking for tips on creating good depth and dimension across the island! now that the diving update is introduced, maybe a third story diving area? TIA! ❤️
purple?
@long frost Yep, some purple mums would look lovely
I can try them out later once I get back on again! @lyric mirage
Not my image but I saw this for a diving area and it looks super cool.
I’m new to animal crossing
@dark geyser i think for the most part both sides should follow each other, so if the left side swerved right two blocks the right side should too but add some differences to make it more natural
As anyone got any cherries
I’m new to animal crossing
@unborn sail Welcome to the Animal Crossing fandom!
@west rover do you Mean tips to make your island look bigger?
@smoky bone i mean making it look less flat from different views.. like how to use cliffs and rivers to make an area look full and have perspective
@unborn sail #fruit-vegetable-trade will help you out there to get your cherries

@west rover oh then I'm interested too if someone has any tips? I feel like my island is too flat :(
@lyric mirage ty!! <3 I love her too
@smoky bone @west rover my island is pretty flat, but i use different items to make it look a big fuller. i used a lot of simple panels to create actual buildings. like a resort hotel and a mini shopping mall
Has anyone made a star shaped lake? Would like to see it

Any idea on how I could make this area better ?
@dire bear my villager is somewhat on the beach. her house is on the grass, and i gave her a tiki bar and restaurant. her house picture is on the bottom left

@deft flicker BEAUTIFUL! my resident services is too close to make a big entrance 😔
this is my little library so far it’s my first kind of design on my island. what else could i add?
@primal maple Add simple panels, trees or fences to the back to help close it in, add a couch and a coffee table in fron the fireplace,add some plants or a record player in the corners to lessen dead space
@primal maple maybe some kind of lighting?
@primal maple maybe someone cute houseplants?
a couch is a great idea! @soft plaza should i add a street lamp to the corner? @limber ginkgo and yes good idea i’ve been saving some plants @still sage
Done for 95% 😃
@primal maple try customizing the shelves color to the wood path
@grave lagoon wow your farm/nursery is so cute
I’m working on getting a second bookshelf, what else should I put in Dobies yard?

@ashen mountain You madlad
I wanted to know what looks good to you guys. On the left the gap between the stalls isn't big enough to walk through. The stalls on the right have a gap big enough to walk through it
Please dm me if you have a cottagecore island and are willing to let me look around for inspiration :))
@abstract parrot i feel like the left side can give you more space for you to decorate on the other hand you can maybe get a custom code for a shirt or just drop an outfit on the ground so it looks like someone is working the stall if that makes senses, and helps!
Zucker yard inspo 💛 even tho I have to wait for his house to be built tmrw
@vital swallow idk if the people ik are on here rn to help but you can check the pinned messages for help!
@pliant sun i love it! im waiting for a villager to leave so i can do the same thing lol !
My forced perspective train station before I destory it 
@plain forge i love it so sad that you're going to destroy it
@plain forge it looks nice. what are you gonna replace it with
@icy flint it had to be done 😦 I might move it to a diff location tho since I like it so much ;; @atomic quest I'm gonna have a little tokyo and chinatown in that area!
So my friend had the smart idea to add Mom’s items since they were sewed together. What do you guys think of it now?
is this too much?
Cleaned up now I can finally start on my campsite tonight after work
What music playing item would fit on a pirate area
@icy flint yay its so exciting when the villagers u want move in!

@woven drift the skull radio
thingy
hi so i need a bit of advice!
this is my entrance, which is super close to my resident services. i don’t know what to do there. should i add a plaza with a coffee shop or something? or try to block it off with some trees and just add a path??
@woven drift glad I could help 🥰🥰
@pliant sun do you know if theres a white or gold skull?
@haughty grail i love it💕i was making a similar too until I decided to make a mermaid/pirate island themed
Need some campsite ideas! 🥰 i want the exterior to look nice but nothing too fancy!

@woven drift there are white skulls , they have different colored eyes tho! Not sure if there are gold ones

@regal sedge here’s mine

@woven drift #690093605821480980 #mysterybags-and-yardsales
