[pine ember]

Should i make it like those stacked ones? @hot adder

[hot adder]

That’s up to you, I’d think it would look cool 😎

[woven drift]

hey! could someone help me a little? im struggling with my entrance because its super close to the town hall and also not centred;;

@dire bear ty

[stuck trail]

@woven drift I actually think your current setup is really cute! What is your goal with your entrance? ie. are you trying to hide resident services from your entryway?

[native latch]

In:#islandlayouts has:villager area

;-;

[crystal zinc]

this is kinda weird question but i was wondering if someone could help me design my island? i know what aesthetic i want but i can't find a good reference with the same or at least similar airport and resident services as me :(( i could send you references for what i want my island to look like so if you could help me out that'd be wonderful

[woven drift]

@stuck trail

its cute but its,, very simple and almoat underthought, if that makes sense? i'd like just a little more from the entrance ^^

i dont wanna hide town hall by any means, but i'd like it to flow a little better

my town theme is candy/cutesy/formalish 👀;;

[craggy swallow]

Any furniture layout ideas for my little café library?

[abstract parrot]

@woven drift omg I haven't seen a tropical theme before

[woven drift]

my whole island is a rainforest :]

@craggy swallow honestly, brown rattan chairs + brown antique end tables work LOVELY for that!

[main sage]

Bruh what thats so cool

[craggy swallow]

@craggy swallow honestly, brown rattan chairs + brown antique end tables work LOVELY for that!
@woven drift
Thanks for the tip!

[woven drift]

Excuse me but whomever replied to my photo with the vomit emoji is very disrespectful.

@craggy swallow like this!

[main sage]

I saw that I was like WHOMST TF

[woven drift]

Agreed. Very disrespectful @woven drift

[stuck trail]

@woven drift do you have a centerpiece like a fountain / statue or something in that initial area when you get off the plane? that could help it feel a little more grand

[woven drift]

@stuck trail no, but i do have one going into the residential area of the island ^^

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift it was probably someone with an ugly island so don’t even worry about it love. It’s a beautiful picture!!

[stuck trail]

@woven drift hmmm I feel like a centerpiece by the airport would help you move in the direction you're looking for. you could use something like a statue or you could maybe do a little bamboo area since your entrance has kind of a zen vibe?

[main sage]

My islands basic I feel but its super cute but when everyone shows pictures of how their island is full of custom trails and other stuff I get sad D:

[storm drift]

I'm really stuck on where and what to do with my museum. I've moved it about 5 times already but it's just not working 😭☹. Any suggestions on what to do with the museum? This is my map atm:

[stuck trail]

@main sage your island can still be cute without all that other stuff! nothing wrong with the basics, if you love it then it's perfect the way it is (:

[woven drift]

@stuck trail thanks! ill try that ^^

[main sage]

@stuck trail Thats fair! Everyone has like japanese cities and stuff but I was like I just want basic living and I think I did a pretty good job! Now im just changing some old things that I could totally make better but I ran out of ideas xD

[vernal oxide]

@main sage I’m sure your island is gorgeous!! My island is kind of whatever I like and I throw it in there. And I’ve redone it at least 5 times 😅 and there’s ideas for stuff to decorate in the pinned section!

[craggy swallow]

Little design tip! I just want to say that ironwood carts and mini cactus sets look amazing together!

[main sage]

@vernal oxide Aw thank you! I have a lot of empty spaces right now and Im just like AAAAAAAAA. I have a 5 star rating its just that im now changing some old places. I got rid of an orchard because Im making enough bells off of turnips but its such a huge spot and im just like.....oh boy lol

[vernal oxide]

@main sage hahaha what I did instead of having a big orchard was make a smoothie bar with it. Idk if you’ve seen pics

[main sage]

@vernal oxide Oh thats pretty cool! Idk if I'm gonna keep the orchard look tho it was there forever so i think ima just look for something different. I already destroyed all my trees so replanting all of it would just be a mess xD

[granite spire]

@vernal oxide i wanna make a joke but im afraid to do it 😂

[main sage]

@granite spire Im concerned, yet intrigued

[granite spire]

Last time i maked a joke i got called out thats why i am afraid 😜

[vernal oxide]

@main sage LMAO that was me when I restarted.
@granite spire do it 👀

[granite spire]

@vernal oxide its not nice to throw stuff (that was the joke)

[molten dirge]

Im designing my island layout but i dont know where to put my last 2 villagers, Im trying to give them some sort of yard, im going for a cottagecore aesthetic, any ideas/help?

[granite spire]

@vernal oxide show her/him the picture of your masterpeace the cloud

[main sage]

@molten dirge Im thinking maybe a little side road leading to the two of them down 1 or 2, right one from the top left?

[vernal oxide]

@granite spire LMAO STOP. My painting of a cloud 🥰

[stuck trail]

@molten dirge what's going on in the top left corner? you have a decent amount of space on that side, my thought would either be somewhere around B2 or C2-C3

[main sage]

@stuck trail Thats exactly what I was thinking

[granite spire]

Great minds think alike!

[main sage]

Im currently playing Spongebob BFBB but when I log on in a second Im gonna need some help xD

[vernal oxide]

@main sage me. I’m playing cod and also checking this chat 😭

[granite spire]

Im laying in bed picking my nose (joking ofc) @vernal oxide

[gentle hemlock]

Happy 4th of July!!!

[main sage]

@granite spire Bold of you to assume any of us havent also been sitting in bed all day xD

[crisp depot]

Cake Shop 🎂

[granite spire]

I never said that!! I said i was doing haha @main sage

[main sage]

My fourth of July has consisted of me eating costco pizza and being in my room in the dark lmao

[granite spire]

Im not an american nor do i live there 🙂 but thnx!

[stuck trail]

@crisp depot I love it! I don't think I've seen a cake shop here with so many actual cakes! (vs the food hats haha)

[main sage]

Im so happy I bought the wedding cake it's so pretty

[crisp depot]

All the mom and wedding cakes are customizable :D

[woven drift]

hello!! so sorry if i'm inturrupting-! i was wondering if anybody who's good at using this path below, can come over to my island and see if it looks good-? Ive been experimenting with it for a while now and just wanted to get some opinions on what i've done^^ (no where near complete, though)

[molten dirge]

@molten dirge what's going on in the top left corner? you have a decent amount of space on that side, my thought would either be somewhere around B2 or C2-C3
@bratty.alani#4253 I was thinking of making some sort of bar there but I just haven’t figured how big I want it though I doubt I will make it really big

[main sage]

The wedding stuff in Chic and Garden is BOMB. I wanted to make a fancy venue with the wedding stuff but im lacking some chairs so that's out of the question I guess xD

[stuck trail]

@woven drift the example in your picture looks really natural! the only tip I have for using The Path is to try and avoid long stretches of straight lines (which doesn't seem to be an issue based on your example), other than that it's hard to mess it up! 😂

[main sage]

Someone should give me approval of this idea! I’m lacking simple panels and I’ve been looking for them everywhere but once I get them I was thinking of putting a hall of residents to where I would put the posters of every villager that’s lived on my island in this small little space. It’s not a very big space so I wouldn’t miss out on too much potential but it’s just an idea!

[stuck trail]

@main sage that is a fantastic idea but unfortunately we can't hang things on simple panels unless you were planning to just customize them?

[woven drift]

@stuck trail thank you!! That's what i'm going for, is a natural look ^^ And okay, gotcha! There actually is a spot in my island where it has long stretches of the straight lines, so i'm going to have to fix that ^^
but that is true, now that you mention it-! I just don't want it to look bad, tbh 😔👊

[main sage]

SOMEONE SAID I COULD IM SO SAD NOW XD

[stuck trail]

@main sage omg I didn't think you could?? at least I'm pretty sure?? unless it was in the update or something

[granite acorn]

Anyone have ideas for a mainly mountainous island?

[raven pike]

ya cant

[main sage]

Awwww

[woven drift]

So I’m gonna make my other island completely city themed and I don’t know where to start

[native latch]

Hey yall! Im currently planning my island, this is it so far. Anything I should change? (Also, Pls dont mind the rivers in the middle, or the fact it looks crappy, i did this on ig :,> )

[main sage]

Well scratch that idea I have around 3 more dilemmas ima need help w so stand by 😂

[granite spire]

@granite acorn this is what i do have more moution areas but have no picturr yet

[granite acorn]

Looks sweet @granite spire, I won’t directly take from it but it does give me ideas

[main sage]

So the first picture is where my orchard used to be and I got rid of it since I really didn’t have much of a use for it. I wanted to make it a fancy little venue but the second picture I used to have a cafe but I was never really sure if I was going to keep it there, hence the lack of tables and such. Any thoughts?

[granite spire]

@granite acorn have a crappy video of one aswell (ignore the jump through the cliff you cant do thet anymore)

[upper frost]

Anybody have some museum cafe designs I could take inspiration from? I'm stumped on how to build it

[granite spire]

Its my entrances to redd and at the same time my flower hill

[woven drift]

I’m a huge fan of using glitches to decorate

[granite acorn]

That’s crazy😮

[granite spire]

@woven drift to bad they fix this one

[woven drift]

I terraformed this using the tree glitch

[vernal oxide]

@upper frost idk if anyone has one. But I here’s pictures of my museum which has a lot of room to it especially if the t-Rex wasn’t there!

[granite spire]

@woven drift does the tree glitch still work?

[woven drift]

YEP

[upper frost]

I want to make a cafe behind the museum with a nice lookout of the ocean (I also have a forced perspective spot)

[ionic raft]

anyone have an example of a villager house with an incline next to it?

[granite spire]

Thank god

[elfin moss]

Thank god
@granite spire whats the glitch??

[woven drift]

My game is taking really long to save

[stuck trail]

@upper frost theres some pretty good inspo from past users if you search "in: island-layouts has:image museum cafe" or even just cafe

[granite spire]

@elfin moss the tree glitch thst you can plant trees next to a cliff or hill

[elfin moss]

@elfin moss the tree glitch thst you can plant trees next to a cliff or hill
@granite spire oh okk

[main sage]

@ionic raft heres one I don’t know exactly if it’s what youre looking for. Don’t mind the flowers I haven’t taken care of it in like 2 months 😂

[granite spire]

Pansyyyys i love them

[dry ibex]

what should i replace the flower area/fountain with?? it’s a long rectangle

[upper frost]

@stuck trail Thank you! These images are already looking dope

[ionic raft]

@ionic raft heres one I don’t know exactly if it’s what youre looking for. Don’t mind the flowers I haven’t taken care of it in like 2 months 😂
@main sage aww thanks! i actually meant the other way 🙂 house first level next to an incline going up, but i'll definitely use this too!

[main sage]

@ionic raft ahhh I see! Well either way hopefully it’ll still give you an idea!

[stuck trail]

@dry ibex idk what's going in that area (like what's nearby) but I kinda feel like some tree rows / benches would be nice? almost like a "central park"

[woven drift]

What are some areas for citycore

[dry ibex]

@stuck trail i also don’t know what’s going on in that area HAHA but i’ll try that!

[pliant sun]

Any advice on a speaker/radio to play music in my celeste viewing area 💛💛

[stuck trail]

@woven drift I know nothing about citycore but how about shopping mall, nightclub, city dump, public park, food carts, jail (unless you're an anarchist commune), also there definitely need to be alleyways

[woven drift]

If anyone wants to come to my 5-Star Island u may come and do whatever u want! Im wearing a red snow hat No fee Enjoy yourselves! 😄 https://turnip.exchange/island/56e8ccb2

oh u better believe there will be alleyways

[stuck trail]

@pliant sun honestly I think a cassette player would be cute but if you want something more subtle you could always hide a bamboo speaker or lily speaker behind those trees

[wet ore]

@pliant sun lily speaker

[woven drift]

My alt town goal - as little grass as possible

[pliant sun]

@stuck trail : o a lily speaker would be SO CUTE @wet ore thank u guys !!

[lunar talon]

what should i add to this? it looks kinda empty 😾

[humble fractal]

anyone got some terraforming ideas for my island? just looking for general ideas to work off of.

[stuck trail]

@humble fractal There are some great terraforming tips in the pins, in case you haven't seen them yet (:

[night token]

Was wondering what should I use for chairs and tables for a rock cafe area. I’ll be moving all my 6 rocks here. What would be a good set

[median vessel]

Any one have a good Asian themed entrance That I could look at, I need some inspiration for mine.

[humble fractal]

@stuck trail Oh! Thanks lol didn't even know about them

[wet ore]

@lunar talon garden laterns by the benches or two street lights by the entrance

[stuck trail]

@lunar talon shrubs would look nice there I think!

[wet ice]

Anyone have any natural/cottagecore entrance inspo?

[wet ore]

@night token stone stools and table

[night token]

@wet ore would that be too rocky? Haha

[stuck trail]

@night token the iron garden set is always a safe choice for cafes imo, however if you really wanted to commit to the theme you could use the stone stools and table

@wet ice https://www.pinterest.com/brattybabexoxo/acnh-cottagecore/entrance-inspo/ not my island but the creators are all linked to the image

[woven drift]

@wet ice here’s my entrance on my cottagecore island

[fervent jay]

@wet ice heres mine!

[woven drift]

I always ping the wrong person

[wet ice]

@fervent jay so pretty!! I’m trying to remodel my island but my resident services building is so close to my dock /:

[fervent jay]

tysm! and so is mine, the path on the right leads to res services it took a while to figure out how to make a good entrance

[wet ice]

@woven drift so cute! I need more Celeste diys, I’m trying to fit something like that in a really small space

[versed wadi]

#@wet ice my entrance is 11 squares from my airport.

[woven drift]

Can you still make third level cliffs

[lunar talon]

does anyone have any entrance ideas for a plaza close to the airport??

[wet ice]

It’s off to the left so it’s hard to figure out cliff placement for me without not being able to see where you’re going

[woven drift]

anyone have any ideas for filling in small/medium sized spaces where u cant really make a designated area or put flowers there? pls reply or dm me!! :))

[versed wadi]

You got loadsa room. You can make that work 🙂

[vocal birch]

I need help with these 3 blue blanks!!! I am out of ideas

[fervent jay]

anyone have any ideas for filling in small/medium sized spaces where u cant really make a designated area or put flowers there? pls reply or dm me!! :))
@woven drift maybe a pottery or art area!

[woven drift]

@fervent jay ty!!

[fervent jay]

ofc!

[ancient night]

@vocal birch I saw a surf shop

[copper forge]

I need help with these 3 blue blanks!!! I am out of ideas
@vocal birch maybe like a flower field or a post office? or some sort of farm

[wet ice]

Post office is a great idea!

[vernal oxide]

@vocal birch there’s also a huge list in pins!

[latent flame]

does anyone know the max amount of trees you can have for a 5 star island?

[copper forge]

@ those asking: i have an entrance wayy too close to the plaza too so this is what i managed to so with mine! the plaza is immediately to the left

[granite spire]

Wish we get more design codes so i can use THE PATH for my campsite 😦

[inner cedar]

Wanna share my little park area next to the resident services / plaza . Still needs a bit of decorating but I really like the natural look of it. 🥰

[stuck trail]

@latent flame "Trees are 1 point, and bushes are worth 0.5 points each. The combined sum of these two values cannot exceed 190." https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Island_evaluation

[woven drift]

That’s so frustrqting I want infinite treesss

[pliant sun]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/hlcwvo/relaxing_day_on_mariposa_island/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Hi y’all : ) I’d love it if u could show some support on my 1st ever reddit post 💛 a lil picnic area layout

[latent flame]

@stuck trail ty for the answer! gonna try and get rid of bushes then i need ALL the trees

[haughty grail]

i wanna do stuff to either side of resident services but need help!!

[stuck trail]

@haughty grail there's a bunch of ideas in the pins if you're looking for inspo on what kind of areas to make there (:

[woven drift]

I downloaded the grimiest looking road I could find

[stuck trail]

@woven drift are you gonna put game paths underneath everything to give your map that urban brown look?

[woven drift]

well I am now

[empty basin]

does anyone have a star viewing area? send pics! ❤️

[fading pier]

LF: cottagecore inspo if anyone will let me visit their island to look around that would be great

[icy flint]

@fading pier you can always go to the pinnes messages and they have a few to cottagecore theme if that helps

[gentle flower]

Some of my favorite front yards, Marshal, Pippin, Poppy & Sherb

[tropic void]

niiiiice!!

[vernal oxide]

@empty basin this one was from my old island, it’s not good but maybe it’ll help!

[empty basin]

it is good! ty!!

[gentle flower]

My favorite spots on the island 🙂 Marketplace, Japanese Forest, Beachside, Garden

[lethal spear]

@empty basin this ones mine! It’s a wip 😅

[soft plaza]

@empty basin Heres my star viewing area

[woven drift]

Anyone know what I can put in this empty area? I wanted to put a fountain but idk if it would fit or even look good..

[lethal epoch]

I think Raymond likes his new yard!

[graceful jasper]

I’m planning to do a outside garden shop but I need some inspiration!

[tacit wing]

Ideas for what to put next to the campsite? Or level the rest out?

[pine scaffold]

Guys what do I do? My staircase won’t align 😩😭😭🥺

[woven drift]

Thanks for adding a picture of ur empty space I love it

[tacit wing]

I’m showing how big it is?

[vernal oxide]

@pine scaffold it looks like the museum you have right? It’s always going to be uneven. The museum is 7 spaces and the bridge/inclines are 2 spaces

[woven drift]

it’s pretty big

[soft plaza]

@tacit wing https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/715370739179454484/728780426314908222/image0.png

[tacit wing]

And I was asking for ideas? So your comment seemed snarky.
@soft plaza thank you!

[pine scaffold]

Thanks 😟 for letting me know. It is the museum. Wonder what I should do. Maybe completely off centered

[woven drift]

you could make an alt character and never upgrade the tent house

[vernal oxide]

@pine scaffold a lot of people did two inclines. So here’s mine:

[lethal epoch]

@tacit wing i dont think its that deep maam

[soft plaza]

I mean those are ideas so its not really meant to be snarky, I dont know that you're like so i was just showing you a list of what you can do

[tacit wing]

@soft plaza not you

@lethal epoch eh she didn’t need to say it like that

[lethal epoch]

@tacit wing or maybe you just took it the wrong way ....?

[tacit wing]

@lethal epoch she literally was like “thanks for showing me your empty space” 🙄 provided no insight

[vernal oxide]

@tacit wing if you’re referring to what @woven drift said she was only saying you showed us the space to help give you ideas to fill it completely. Most people ask for ideas and don’t give a size if that makes sense?

[woven drift]

yeah man it’s hard when people ask about empty spaces without showing where it is or how big, no hard feelings

[tacit wing]

@vernal oxide Didnt sounds that way to me sorry

[icy flint]

^ many people don't send pics of how big exactly there empty spaces are sometimes

[woven drift]

I could see how if seems snarky but there’s a time limit between messages so I couldn’t add my suggest until a bit later

[vernal oxide]

It wasn’t meant to be rude or an insult to you. Everyone here is super friendly and helpful!

[queen pecan]

hey guys what if we didnt fight

[lethal epoch]

This is far from a fight, just a discussion!

[limpid glacier]

Guys what do I do? My staircase won’t align 😩😭😭🥺
@pine scaffold lots of people put 2 staircases and have the entrance lined up in between them, and they put like a statue or a fossil in the middle

[haughty grail]

anyone have does anyone have examples of flower shops? like w stalls and such??

[wispy rock]

@queen pecan is that ur entrance???!! I love it

[queen pecan]

@queen pecan is that ur entrance???!! I love it
@wispy rock yes 😳😳 tysm 💞💞

[full goblet]

Just wanna show this off cos i'm proud of my fossils at my museum area 😄

[woven drift]

Madison our entrances kinda match

[queen pecan]

hehe i love the little patchy dirt paths & mush lamps ^^ ur entrance is really pretty !! (:

[twilit lintel]

@haughty grail i didnt use a stall. i used simple panels to create a mini building with two stores (flower store and music store) and a bathroom.

[woven drift]

Mush furniture is the best kind of furniture

[full goblet]

Since you are talking about entrances, i did mine a few days ago 🙂

[haughty grail]

STUNNING

[queen pecan]

Since you are talking about entrances, i did mine a few days ago 🙂
@full goblet love the layering!!!! thats so cute ! :0

[wispy rock]

These entrances are amazing omg

[sullen sable]

anyone have any ideas for a big plot of land at the right corner of my island its on a cliff there

[woven drift]

Nice bridge, I don’t see those utilized as often in entrances

[vernal oxide]

@sullen sable there’s a list of ideas in the pinned section!

[soft plaza]

[woven drift]

Also - those eggs light up?? What egg item is that? Can you customize irt to be dif colors?

[queen pecan]

i struggled with my entrance because of town hall being annoying ):<

[sullen sable]

ty ill look around at them

[full goblet]

Also - those eggs light up?? What egg item is that? Can you customize irt to be dif colors?
@woven drift It's the egg lamp, bunny day lamp and no, not customisable

[full goblet]

I sort of made it my emblem 😂 until i discovered nova lights and now nova lights are sort of taking over 😂

[woven drift]

Here’s my old old entrance from those close RS days

[full goblet]

It's stunning ! 😮

[woven drift]

It no longer exists

[full goblet]

Here is my pool area 😄 (i'm sorry i went on a full photoshoot of my island just now and i want to show it off 😂 )

[queen pecan]

waterfalls really make a difference but they are so loud you can barely hear the music i have at my entrance 😠

[woven drift]

I think sometimes with terraforming the issue arises where it looks good on camera mode but it has to be at a certain angle and it becomes really inconvenient gameplay wise so I got rid of it

[full goblet]

True

[woven drift]

I feel bad about the empty space thing

[full goblet]

Here is the area after the bridge of the entrance, i am quite working on it still but i'm quite satisfied for now 🙂 waiting for more zodiac recipes !

[soft plaza]

@queen pecan Try placing record players to counteract the noise of the waterfalls

@queen pecan Try placing record players to counteract the noise of the waterfalls
@soft plaza i have 2 rn and im waiting for the rest of them to come in, cant wait (:

[halcyon mural]

Sorry for the Quality idk what to put here! My entrance is to the right of this little area any ideas on what I should put here?

[queen pecan]

Sorry for the Quality idk what to put here! My entrance is to the right of this little area any ideas on what I should put here?
@halcyon mural secret garden or cafe ;0

[glacial warren]

Where should I place my last 2 houses? This is also the idea I’m going for so if my drawings look kinda crazy 😂 and a before of my map to!

[solid crater]

My island is kind of oddly shaped, does anyone have any ideas as to how to improve the general look of my island?

[native latch]

@halcyon mural maybe put a small stand for smoothies , or a picnic area if u dont already have any of those

[scenic blaze]

@glacial warren what’s here? It’s my first thought given how your others are organized

[glacial warren]

@scenic blaze it’s a park area! Maybe I can move it around though!

[queen pecan]

campsite + star gazing areas!

[woven drift]

Love the square look to it peachy

[trail rapids]

What’s a good way to make an orchard without it taking so much space I cut it down to 3 trees each fruit but I just want it to be cute and simple but without taking such a huge area

[agile fjord]

The way to get to redd

[vernal oxide]

@trail rapids I used 4 trees of each kind with a smoothie bar (and honey because I like honey)

[woven drift]

@trail rapids here was my old orchard that was 3 trees

[distant mauve]

you all have such fancy islands! ahhhhhhhh they r all amazing!!

[storm mist]

What you think about this little space guys? having doubts about the jail bars

[distant mauve]

when i get back to my switch i'll send pictures of what i've done^^

[woven drift]

I’d put country fencing instead of jail bars

What I did to conserve orchard space was organizing my trees more loosely in a messy circle instead of lined up in a square

[trail rapids]

@woven drift @vernal oxide OMG BOTH SO CUTE! This helps I love the placement of the beehives and how you used the those plants for the farm!

[low egret]

@storm mist personally I love the jail bars! It’s creative and I haven’t seen it before!

[storm mist]

@woven drift Thank you! i thinking about trying de country fencing, but i'm still using in a lot of spaces i trying to change a little bit hhaha

@low egret thank you!! 🙂 i try the rust version to look more like a forest place hahah

[woven drift]

You could try putting iron and stone fencing around the jail bars to break the shape up a bit?

[hazy raven]

@woven drift Oh I like your entrance! I'd love to be able to explore your island if you ever open for tours ;)

[woven drift]

Here’s a walkthrough of most of it, it’s an old video though so a bit outdated

[cursive tangle]

[crimson nexus]

They are so lovely

[woven drift]

You’re very good at theming

[frozen granite]

Thank you :3 I was gonna remove the Egypt tbh

[kind grove]

i’m looking for different stall ideas! i’ve seen people have like psychic ones, food ones, etc but other ideas could i do? it’s for a marketplace area

[high aspen]

i did a fishing one and a surf shop one ^

[frozen granite]

Free kisses and hugs ?

[woven drift]

garden shop, honey shop, antique shop

[frozen granite]

O i I did honey :3

[icy flint]

someone wants to leave my island finally... im so happy i can finally start decorating

[kind grove]

thanks guys!

[frozen granite]

Knowing me I’d put free hand Jobs

[kind grove]

LOL i did a dispensary

[frozen granite]

Is that why you’re called liky

[tropic void]

so do the stalls turn into shops eventually? I'm kind of new

[woven drift]

Moon that’s adorable no we use stalls to make shops though

[hearty jetty]

I’m having so much trouble putting down a bridge like this. I have adjusted it several times for the past 45 mins PLZ HELP!

[woven drift]

@hearty jetty make sure it’s even on both sides

[hearty jetty]

@woven drift I did several times and it still won’t let me 😭

[stuck trail]

@hearty jetty there's an excellent diagram in the pins on how to place diagonal bridges, I definitely recommend it

[hearty jetty]

@stuck trail thanks!

[woven drift]

@hearty jetty can u take a picture of what u have so far if u still have issues after looking at the pins? It needs to be rounded

[soft plaza]

@hearty jetty Look at the paths they put down as a guide for the diagonals https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/681277827244621855/700594513340530728/image0.jpg?width=466&height=566

[woven drift]

They’re pretty much impossible to pull off without that info graphic and I forgot how to spell diagonal so I didn’t respomd

Just grind your teeth and get it done I don’t think there’s any way to go faster, I guess if oh didn’t already know you can replace one path with another without picking it up

What should I put in this empty space?

[stuck trail]

@woven drift with 2-wide (or greater) paths I usually do every other tile first so I don't spend infinity unnecessarily rounding corners. other than that, it's just a grind 😔

[woven drift]

I dunno what to put there

[hearty jetty]

I just adjusted it right now similar to the diagram. Trying to not give up but not working 😭 @woven drift

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift theres a list of ideas in the pinned messages!

[woven drift]

@hearty jetty aight I’ll dm u

[vernal oxide]

@stuck trail I always use the grass option and it’ll take one whole block rather than curving

[stuck trail]

@vernal oxide lmao I always forget I can do that 🤣

[woven drift]

I now have no idea of what to do with my island. Please help.

[noble relic]

@woven drift you aren't the only one

[woven drift]

Lol.

[fervent patrol]

any suggestions? it feels a little empty

[woven drift]

floor lights @fervent patrol

I’d change the border path to make it a little bit more clear? And then you could also add some sparkle paths around too

Does anyone know how to make a dinosaur footprint pond? I am trying to design one in happy island designer but it keeps ending up looking like a pe- nvm

[vernal oxide]

@fervent patrol I like it how it is!!

[woven drift]

Yeah it does look p dope

[fervent patrol]

thanks! i think i might try to find a better border though

[woven drift]

Yeah I didn’t realize at first that there was one it kinda blends into the path a bit

[vernal oxide]

@fervent patrol if you mean a path border there might be some good ones in #path-codes or #custom-design-help🎨 - try checking their pinned section!

[solemn lotus]

I made a little Ramen Bar near the beach! What do you guys think?

[fervent patrol]

it looks really cute! maybe you could put diner stools at the counter?

[solemn lotus]

@solemn lotus I love it! Do you have the QR code’s for the hats?
@woven drift If you google "ramen hats acnh" on google images you will find lots of pro designs!

it looks really cute! maybe you could put diner stools at the counter?
@fervent patrol Good idea! Thanks

[latent drum]

does anyone know what i could add to make this less bland ? 😅😅

[soft plaza]

Variation in the custom pattern, simple panels,more decor, more sittign areas,

[fervent patrol]

you can try placing just plain star fragments on the ground too

[latent drum]

ohh plain ones okay

[languid dove]

wip i cant tell which deck to use 😭 im going for a pirate ish vibe i guess, trying to make a one piece inspired beach

[latent drum]

i think the brown one matches the pirate vibe better ^^

[languid dove]

okie!!

[gilded nacelle]

Mermaid furniture works well with my swim shop!

I love these mermaid chairs too

[cursive tangle]

Judy’s and Bob’s front yards

[dawn lodge]

Anyone got any cool ideas for island entrances?

[woven drift]

Thoughts on my shop area so far

My islands basically just mushroom and star furniture tbh

[glass hemlock]

I hit 5* on my island even tho it's ugly af rn 😭

[toxic mason]

[opal flicker]

does anybody have any pretty pathways... would be good if there were flowers and statues

[quick iris]

Anyone like my graveyard/rock garden? Its set up from bottom to top on how they left and the ugly unmarked grave belongs to Rodney

[woven drift]

That do be kinda dark

[opal flicker]

rodney is my baby >:(

[quick iris]

@woven drift ye he was my 1st campsite villager aka i was stuck with him

[vernal oxide]

@dawn lodge this my entrance! In between the top and bottom picture is a fountain and seating!

[opal flicker]

nice

[dawn lodge]

@vernal oxide i love it!!!!

[reef cobalt]

[bright rover]

Looking for a good Japanese spa area for inspiration!

[icy flint]

finally got kabuki but need some advice on where to put his house in the zen garden ( should it be in the center, or maybe towards the right?)

[vernal oxide]

@latent drum mine kinda sucks

[dusty quail]

My dive shop area

[latent drum]

what?? i love it omg

[woven drift]

Can I get some feedback

[vernal oxide]

@latent drum aw ty!! I was super insecure about it because I don’t decorate cliffs 😅

[lament monolith]

Could people post their entrances? I need inspo!

[vernal oxide]

@lament monolith this is mine!

[icy flint]

@lament monolith lemme get the new updated one to send to ya

[light timber]

Please ping me

[lament monolith]

@woven drift how is it possible that your plaza is raised?

[woven drift]

It isn’t

[latent drum]

@lament monolith this is mine because my resident services was too close 💔💔

[median estuary]

@dusty quail oh nice! Shop is super cool 😮

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift omg I see how it looks like it is. It looks lien it’s raised. Your placement of the items and tree make it look like it’s all on the same level

[lament monolith]

@icy flint please do
@latent drum I honestly wish RS was close I like the way it looks

[dusty quail]

@median estuary thank you!!

[icy flint]

@lament monolith

[stuck trail]

@woven drift I love that the border of the stepping stone by the chair makes a little crescent shape

[median estuary]

@woven drift oooo yesssss I'm really loving it

[woven drift]

That was accidental! Ty for the feedback guys

[lament monolith]

@vernal oxide yours is so pretty!

[vernal oxide]

@lament monolith ty!! In between the top and bottom pictures I have a fountain and benches as well

[lament monolith]

@icy flint cute!! I need to put cliffs in my entrance

[real pumice]

Suggestions on what to do here in front of my diner?

[vernal oxide]

@real pumice you could make an arcade! That would be cool! There’s also ideas listed in the pinned section!

[limber ginkgo]

Anyone have inspo for a natural forest themed campsite?

[real pumice]

Ah such a god idea thank you!

[median estuary]

@real pumice maybe mini arcade

[vernal oxide]

@limber ginkgo this is mine currently. Might change it

[median estuary]

Lmao I was all late

[icy flint]

can anyone tell me what app or website they use to put two pics together?

[vernal oxide]

@icy flint I used pic collage because that’s the one I have on my phone 😂

[median estuary]

I use insta lmao.

[civic dew]

can yall pls post ur island maps? im making one rn cus i just started 🥰

[icy flint]

lmao im on my pc so tbh ima prob just get the free trail for photoshop or something lmao

[marsh maple]

How do you make paths curved?

[stuck trail]

@icy flint I use https://www.befunky.com/create/collage/ for desktop

[woven drift]

So I accidentally did an optical illusion

Look over here to clear up confusion on the raised plaza lookin picture

[dense viper]

How can you make your island look bigger? I look at alot of tours, and all of the islands look so amazing and huge, and it takes a while to go through it all, where I feel like mine is an ant and you can walk through it within like 3 mins lol. Any tips on what to do to make it seem bigger?

[woven drift]

bigger paths, space things apart more

[civic dew]

very cool

[stuck trail]

@dense viper imo, your own island will always feel smaller than others due to your own familiarity with it. others' islands feel bigger / take longer bc everything is new to you (:

[civic dew]

can anyone drop their maps of their island? it owuld be much appreciated because i just tsarted acnh and need some ideas!

[woven drift]

That’s deep

[dense viper]

ye tbh that makes sense

[stuck trail]

@civic dew try searching "in: island-layouts has:image map" for lots of map inspo!

that's my big brain moment for the day guys, time to go back to small brain mode

[slim quartz]

@dense viper change in elevation and fencing things in making you take specific paths gives a lot of extra space due to the additional walking distance

[languid iron]

New island beach area ❤️🏖

[limber ginkgo]

My entrance is already fairycore inspired-ish so I wanted more of a "space" vibe for my lookout, anything else I should add?

[woven drift]

Charlie I scatter around stars and star clocks and nova lamps for my spacey areas

[languid iron]

Can’t wait to get all the mermaid stuff 😩

[woven drift]

You should add plants growing in dif stages

[stuck trail]

@limber ginkgo I kinda like the idea of putting a lunar rover where that nova light is?

[wet ice]

Okay worked on the entrance for a little bit and this is what I came up with (if anyone here remembers my previous post hehe)

[woven drift]

Kayla we,re matching

[wispy jay]

Anyone have a idea for the area by my villager's houses, idk what to put there at all. 😅

[wet ice]

@woven drift yee I bet it looks great at night!! 🤩

[median estuary]

@wet ice @woven drift so cute ☺☺

[glass ginkgo]

im currently workin on a library but i ran out of ideas on what to put in the center i feel like it's a bit bare. any suggestions? or should i just leave it as it is

[woven drift]

Here’s night

[median estuary]

@glass ginkgo it looks great! Maybe it's just a lil too big that makes it seem bare... but I love it

[vernal oxide]

@glass ginkgo I think another seating arrangement would look good! So like just two chairs and a small table. Mine also is kinda big haha

[plain forge]

I finished Genji's Little Tokyo (as part of my Los Angeles replica island lmao) 🥺 and these sea creatures do be coming in handy doe (ignore the back it's still wip hehe)

[limber ginkgo]

I couldn't get the flowers right for Molly's yard for the longest time

[crisp finch]

@glass ginkgo maybe a fireplace and seating area in the center and a “computer lab” off to the side?

[glass ginkgo]

@vernal oxide omg yours looks better than mine!! hahaha

thanks guys!!

[wispy sable]

Does anyone know if you can put two sets of stairs directly next to each other, without a space in between?

[vernal oxide]

@glass ginkgo haha awww ty!! Yours is really good!! If you put more seating I think it would look cute! And maybe some tiny plants like the cactus set and the terrarium !

@wispy sable I don’t think so but you could try asking #game-help-questions❓

[wet ice]

@median estuary thank you!!

[tepid iron]

what can i put in this strip? i find the free diy area rlly boring ): my theme is amsterdam

[crisp finch]

Can I see some areas for inspo? I’m trying to build a spooky island (based on Halloweentown) and am indecisive on a natural or industrial look😭

[woven drift]

any multi layered residential area ideas ?

[sand dagger]

Can anyone give me ideas for like a hidden beach type design? Not like the secret beach that Redd docks at. I have a kinda small strip of beach with a secret pathway thing to it and a lighthouse on the rock part.

[still sage]

What do you guys think of Dobies yard?

[remote hatch]

anyone got mages of outside bars? not rlly any specific theme just need inspo!

[limber ginkgo]

@still sage looks great!

[pallid arrow]

I’m really stuck on how to decorate my campsite and idk why😔 can someone please help me? I have a forest theme and I can dm pics of my other areas

[restive breach]

natural entrance ideas please?

[soft plaza]

@pallid arrow

[restive breach]

@tepid iron Flea market!!

[tepid iron]

@restive breach i already did that in my canal area ://

[pallid arrow]

Ty!

[rigid obsidian]

@pallid arrow you could probably put some log furniture as well! ik it might not sound the best but a little bit of weeds can help the "natural/forest" type look too

[pallid arrow]

Tysm this really helps

[soft plaza]

@tepid iron add a sidewalk bit at the sides of the roads and do the faux building technique using simple panels

[cursive tangle]

Thoughts on my front yards for Judy and Bob?

I think Judy’s look a little plain but idk :////

[sand dagger]

@remote hatch that’s the bar on my island, I’ve also got seating in the beach with candles and stuff

[remote hatch]

@sand dagger oh thats sweet! u wanna dm me and we can send codes?

[tulip sky]

If someone wants to help me get a theme for a Japanese island, that would help me. DM if you have ideas 😁

[woven drift]

i just got terraforming. does anyone have inspo for an entrance to the island?

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift this is my entrance! In between the top and bottom picture I have a fountain and seating!

[woven drift]

ooh that looks really pretty!

[sly cape]

I wish there was a bag item like that so people don’t steal it :’) but small area beside my house

[soft plaza]

@woven drift

[rigid obsidian]

@soft plaza that looks so good

[kind grove]

what could i add to this tiki bar? or is it okay

[woven drift]

@cursive tangle love both yards! not too much so that it’s overwhelming, but not too little so that it looks barren!! really nice job. i have both of them as well, they’re great villagers!

[median estuary]

@sand dagger you've inspired me to make a bar now! Lol

[north valley]

@soft plaza all those stars are from zodiac or how do you get those colors?

[woven drift]

@soft plaza that’s sick omg it looks amazing

[dawn shoal]

anyone have ideas for a fire pit area? i’m making a little hangout in my front yard based around the idea of friends & bonfires so any help would be great 🥺

[rigid obsidian]

@kind grove i think its cute! only thing i could think of are probably tiki torches

[kind grove]

how could i forget those 🤦🏼‍♀️ ty!! @rigid obsidian

[soft plaza]

@north valley they are star clocks(backwards) and nova lights customised to differing colours

[sand dagger]

@median estuary haha! Glad to hear it 🙂 I can send you the codes I used if you’d like

[woven drift]

yeah i need a little help cause this is what my current entrance looks like...

[median estuary]

@sand dagger ur bar looks so nice. I've only seen a few and urs is my fave so far! Aw ty! But sadly no more custom space 😭

[north valley]

@soft plaza what do you need to make those? Only star fragments?? Coz zodiac are also stars from different colors, right?

[sand dagger]

@median estuary aww stop that 😖😊

[austere heath]

@woven drift Sweet and simple entrance

[rigid obsidian]

@dawn shoal im still working on mine but the only things i can think of is what type of seating area you want kind of thing. like i want some sofas for mine, but you could put cushions or "blankets" if thats what you'd use. have some misc. stuff like the portable radio or aroma pot around for extra detail too

[soft plaza]

@north valley star clocks need iron and star fragments and nova lights only need star fragments

[north valley]

Awesome! Thanks @soft plaza looks amazing btw

[clever pagoda]

Guys what should I do i need help with the things circled

[soft plaza]

@clever pagoda If you need ideas, here are somehttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/715370739179454484/728780426314908222/image0.png

[icy flint]

trying to make this into an airport hq or do you think it won't work out? i was planning to add a white light house and some fences and then add some computers, and tech stuff to go along with it (open to suggestions)

[woven drift]

Anyone have a nice observatory area? Looking for inspiration 😬

[plain forge]

@tepid iron kinda late but someone did a (little?) Italy inspired section and you could prob use some of the same furniture

[tepid iron]

@plain forge i did smth like it as well ! dont mind background noise haha

My new and improved campsite! Ty to those who gave me some tips

[flint bane]

my island feels so small

[still sage]

Walts yard, what do you think?

[rustic atlas]

Can anyone make me a cherry blossom lantern I’ll bring the stuff for you the make it

[kind wing]

Hey guys, anyone have cute orchestra layout designs please ☺️✨✌🏻

[worn tendon]

@kind grove this is super late but tiki torches!

[vernal oxide]

@rustic atlas use #player-services

[rustic atlas]

Ok sorry I am new at using discord

[glacial bay]

idk how poggers this is but 🥺👉👈 i made a spot for my boy in-game ! it makes me very happy and helps me not miss him so much ... it's a major work in progress but it's already so comforting and nice!!

[thorn relic]

Hmmmmmm

I just
I need to completely redo my island.
I wish I knew what I wanted to do with my island in terms of layout though

[terse vale]

Needing advice on this area

[vernal oxide]

@thorn relic a lot of people planned theirs out with websites like the ones in the pinned messages. For me, I didn’t have a theme and kinda just did section by section

[thorn relic]

Yeah, I get that, it’s like, I have a theme I want, but it’s less executed and more...made on its own

[woven drift]

ok so this is the left part of the enterance! thoughts?

[vernal oxide]

@thorn relic what kind of theme do you have? Maybe I can help you find a video or some pictures to help

@terse vale what kind of advice were you looking for on that area?
@woven drift it’s coming together nice!! Are you going to do the same thing to the other side as well?

[thorn relic]

Well, to put it in as few words as I can, my island name roughly translates to “great wilds”

[vernal oxide]

@thorn relic as in kind of jungle theme? Or like a natural theme?

[woven drift]

@vernal oxide probably not. i might do a little shopping center on the other side. i really dont have any plans

[thorn relic]

I’m honestly not sure, I’ve kinda accidentally let flowers just kinda grow...almost everywhere

[tribal geode]

Does anyone have any ideas for how to make a my cafe look better or more natural ? I feel like it’s missing something

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift that sounds cute!! I actually just went to someone’s island that had fencing around in a rectangle with public benches, a phone box and something else I can’t remember lol

[thorn relic]

Hmmmmm
I think one of my main issues is, I have a lot of...stuff that I worked on way early on but never really did anything with

[vernal oxide]

@thorn relic honestly that’s exactly what happened to my island. I turned most of my flowers to my campsite so it looks overgrown and has a more natural look to it. But you could always turn that into a big flower garden

@tribal geode I think maybe you could add potted plants to give it a more green feel, maybe plant a tree or two !

[tribal geode]

@vernal oxide thank you! I will try that

[safe pelican]

Does anyone have ideas for small island entrance? My resident service is kinda close. Im new and so overwhelmed I dont know where to start from

[thorn relic]

Thank you, I miiiigjt have a few ideas
First things first though
Gotta organize my storage since that’s practically full

[stable iris]

@tribal geode I would also maybe place the dog on the floor next to the stall and put a cream and sugar in its place since just having the espresso machine feels a little barren. Maybe put coffee cups, flowers in vases, or books, etc... on the tables to make it feel like the place has patrons.

[tribal geode]

@stable iris good idea! Thank you

[vernal oxide]

@safe pelican hi! Personally I don’t have a close RS. But a lot of others used cliffs to hide it and redirect you when you enter, or I’ve also seen plenty of people use trees as well! If you want I can try to find some pictures!

[safe pelican]

@vernal oxide hey! I have tried making waterfalls but I dont know where to go with that Pic will definitely help

[obtuse saddle]

You can do a mini falls entrance with a statue in the middle and make the path go off the sides instead of forward to the Resident Services

Don't be afraid of a non-symmetrical entance. Make it go left or right if you want!

[latent drum]

has:image rock garden

[obtuse saddle]

Imo forward paths take a lot of vertical space which is important

[latent drum]

?? idk how to use the command 😂

[safe pelican]

@obtuse saddle do you have any pics?

[stuck trail]

@latent drum it's not a command, just type it in the search bar 😄

[vernal oxide]

@safe pelican here are some !

[flint mason]

Help!! Any idea of what I can do here. Its a little space

[latent drum]

oh!!!! i’m so dumb haha

[stable iris]

@safe pelican this is my entrance. I just have the one asymmetrical cliff to block off RS. It’s maybe 12 spaces from my airport.

[vernal oxide]

@flint mason I think a picnic area would be cute! There’s also a list of ideas in the pinned messages!

[stuck trail]

@latent drum you're really not, I'm pretty sure I've seen at least 3 other ppl make that mistake today 🤣 common misconception

[vernal oxide]

@safe pelican also! Plenty of people post pictures of their entrance so in the top right search bar if you type “in:island-layouts has: image: entrance “ it’ll give you more pictures !

[safe pelican]

@vernal oxide thank u so much! i got the idea I hope I’ll be able to make something

@stable iris that looks so pretty! Thanks for the idea

[vernal oxide]

@safe pelican if you need any help, everyone in this chat is always super helpful and friendly!

[cedar acorn]

I need inspo for how to decorate outside with mermaid items items

[terse vale]

@vernal oxide I'm needing some general advice for the area where I place my house

[safe pelican]

@vernal oxide aw tysm Im kinda shy and its my first time talking here but I haven’t been able to make an entrance for a week now I appreciate the help

[kind grove]

thoughts on my carnival/boardwalk shop area ??

[terse vale]

Looks good need a vending machine

[crude ledge]

I created an area for the Tanabata festival but the entrance area is so bare ;; anyone have ideas to make it feel more festival-like? I already have a market-walk in front of it so maybe ideas on festival activities like goldfish catching? Or something with the lore of the Tanabata festival?

[tidal vector]

does the white red and pink on the inside look ok or should I change it to be red orange and yellow

[tepid marten]

Need inspiration for a fishing area or just a river! 🙃

[vernal oxide]

@terse vale I think where you placed it is fine! You can decorate the top with a pool and some flowers and lights

[rigid obsidian]

@kind grove considering the space you have i think it looks good, if you want more items i think the snack/drink machines would work and the items that you can unlock from the ac mobile game i.e. the fortune cookie cart

[terse vale]

@vernal oxide I'm going for a nature theme

[vernal oxide]

@terse vale okay! So I think It would be good really wooded. I’m going to dm you a video that’s really natural theme!

[terse vale]

Ok

[flint mason]

@vernal oxide thankkk youuuu

[crude ledge]

@tepid marten I’m personally a fan of double bridges and splitting rivers to spice up a fishing area!!

[tepid marten]

@crude ledge it looks amazing!! Ty

[crude ledge]

@tepid marten thank you thank you!! Good luck :0

[rugged yacht]

Will my fruit trees grow when i plant them? i need to know bc im making a orchard OOPS ACCIDENTALLY PUT AN IMAGE OF A CAKE I MADE

[true lintel]

anyone like my tea area? I just finished it :)

[rugged yacht]

OOPS lol

[crude ledge]

@rugged yacht I’m pretty sure they’ll grow? It looks like you have enough room :0 also nice cake

[stuck trail]

@rugged yacht they should but if you're worried about density ask in #garden-science-discussion also that cake looks delish 😂

[true lintel]

HAHAHA I LOVE UR CAKE

[tribal geode]

@true lintel that’s so cute! I would add some little flower paths

[kind grove]

how have people decorated the outside of ables? i’m struggling to find items

[woven drift]

my current map... still a work in progress but, im going for an all water island! 🥰

[true lintel]

ooh ok! tysm! :)

[bitter inlet]

@crude ledge you could add food stalls, festivals usually have a lot of different foods like takoyaki and noodles

[vernal oxide]

@true lintel It’s adorable!! I think adding tea cups on the tables would be cute!! And a nice addition!

[crude ledge]

@bitter inlet you’re right :0 thank you so much!!

[true lintel]

@kind grove I put a fence and put some bikes to make it look like parking!! and I also put signs and flowers 😊

thank for the feedback!

[crude ledge]

@kind grove I also put a bike parking haha! Some mannequins and flowers go a long way too. If you’re going for a more rustic/cottagecore look I’ve seen some people use the old-style sewing machine

[obtuse saddle]

It doesn't hurt to put a serving cart with coffee and creamer for your cafés! It's a 1x1 item. :)

[rigid obsidian]

any ideas on what to do/put on the little peninsula ?

[vernal oxide]

@rigid obsidian I made a small painting area next to the lighthouse!

[true lintel]

love it!

any suggestions on what i can put on this side of the bridge at my enterance? my island is horror themed but cottage core inspired

[obtuse saddle]

There's also a cacao tree decor that would look great next to stalls and gives that cafe look! :)

[true lintel]

maybe some black flowers or black lighting!!

[jade wigeon]

there is a black lantern on the barrel

[obtuse saddle]

Hmm try a scarecrow?

[woven drift]

@jade wigeon unrelated but i love your profile pic 😂

[true lintel]

oh haha ty!

[jade wigeon]

oh thank you ! sdgdsg

[woven drift]

oh haha ty!
@true lintel sorry it tagged the wrong person 😨 yours is pretty cute too! Hahahah (;

[soft plaza]

@jade wigeon If your going or horror/cottagecore why not dot these around your island

[obtuse saddle]

Add a bush and put the astrolapith (not sure about spelling) behind it 😂

[native latch]

Hey guys! Im trying to do a campsite in this area, going for a tropical resort island theme, any ideas?

[worn tendon]

I made a test area for a little beachside café, thinking of making a huge pier area later

[crude ledge]

@native latch some palm trees (use sand path and you can put them on land) and beach chairs might help :0 maybe also a surfboard rental stand?

@worn tendon in LOVE with your coffee stand ;;!!

[native latch]

@crude ledge Ohh thats perfect!! Tysm 🥺

[crude ledge]

@native latch ofc qwq good luck!!!

[thorn relic]

is it normal to kinda
wipe the map clean before redoing the island?

[true lintel]

anyone else have a library? idk if it's that good of an idea :(

[worn tendon]

Yes, super normal

[woven drift]

@thorn relic thats what i did lol!

[charred jay]

Finished my campsite!! It has some west coast vibes and I’m so pleased with it 🥺✌️

[thorn relic]

hoo boy this is gonna take a while then.

[true lintel]

lovvvve it!

[woven drift]

took me 6 hours to completely flatten it! thats bc i played nonstop xD

[worn tendon]

@thorn relic you don’t have to, people do it when they have terraforming in mind, you could just do your island section by section too

[crude ledge]

@true lintel I don’t but I’m working on one q w q i think it looks so cozy!! If you’re unsure you can include a study area/mini school too

[true lintel]

ooh ok! tysm!

[thorn relic]

my issue is the rivers and what i want to do with them

[true lintel]

I make little stepping stones in my rivers!! hah

[obtuse saddle]

You don't have to make your rivers too wide unless you plan on fishing on them. :)

[wet ore]

I suggest doing section by section. I was 70% done with my island and then I flattened it out to start from scratch. Cost me a lot but I love how it is turning out. @thorn relic

[thorn relic]

eh, i got in on the early day duping so i'm not worried about money

[obtuse saddle]

When you do it section by section make sure you plan which areas are high areas so you don't cover off your lowland areas (my issue right now)

[true lintel]

wow how do u dupe? @thorn relic

[thorn relic]

it is currently very much bothering me that my airport and town center are very much ever so slightly off the exact center of the island

[soft plaza]

Its generally best if you doing mass terrafroming to have a some plan either in drawn form or using the island builder websites

[true lintel]

same mine at one block off
:(

[thorn relic]

nah, i meant i got in on the first dupe glitch in the early days of the game before they patched it out

[true lintel]

ohhh ok! sorry!

[thorn relic]

i have a vague idea of what i want to do, but theres still a few issues, one of them being i have a house made specifically for a second character that i dont use aside for memes and such, and the river

[pulsar trail]

would anyone be able to help me?? i have a few empty areas on my island that i’m getting a creative block on :/ any suggestions/ideas for what i could do?! anything is appreciated!! 🙂

[pulsar trail]

@soft plaza thank you so much!!!

[true lintel]

yess! make a hybrid garden, secret place, basket ball court, movie place, coffee shop, art station, and a library!!

that's all I got haha

[pulsar trail]

@true lintel thanks!! :):) ooo a library could be a good one. that’s something i don’t have yet

[true lintel]

np! I'm making one RN! only problem the book shelves are kinda rare and expensive :( but if you need one I have the ditly so lmk!@pulsar trail

[vernal oxide]

Here’s some pictures of my outdoor library in case you guys need inspo! And yeah it takes forever to get books, BUT if you find someone who’s Nooks is selling books you can usually pay them NMT to visit and buy a bunch of books! @pulsar trail @true lintel

[pallid depot]

Anyone have farm for inspiration?

[sage gull]

OHMYGODD> Here’s some pictures of my outdoor library in case you guys need inspo! And yeah it takes forever to get books, BUT if you find someone who’s Nooks is selling books you can usually pay them NMT to visit and buy a bunch of books! @pulsar trail @true lintel
@vernal oxide I LOVE IT

[true lintel]

I'll open up my island in a bit so people can catalog books! I have tons!

[pulsar trail]

@vernal oxide 😍😍 it’s beautiful!! such inspiration!!!

[true lintel]

yess I love the library!! it's goregus! 😍

[obtuse saddle]

Is that a stack of books?

[pulsar trail]

@vernal oxide so expensive for everything though 😭😭 lol

[vernal oxide]

@sage gull @pulsar trail @true lintel thank you thank you!! And yes @pulsar trail it’s such a pain to get so many books 😭 but completely worth it!
@obtuse saddle yup! In the second picture next to the chair is the stack of books! The one on the ironwood cart is a book stand!

[pulsar trail]

@vernal oxide what are those white things in the center? are those custom panels?

[vernal oxide]

@pulsar trail Yeah! Someone suggested a rug which I never thought about. So I just used a custom path.!

[pulsar trail]

@vernal oxide oh that’s so smart!!!

[vernal oxide]

@pulsar trail wait or were you talking about the simple panel design? 😭 I’m so slow and completely misread what you said. I was so focused on brownies 😂 it is! I wanted to have windows so I got a custom path for that one as well. It does look weird since the bookshelves are taller but I still like it 😂 sorry!

[pulsar trail]

yes!! haha but the rug idea is awesome too!! 😎noted haha @vernal oxide

[fervent jay]

blegh i cant make this area right so ima have to tear it down 😔 f

[vernal oxide]

@pulsar trail sorry long day 😭 I fixed the message above! But it is a custom path to look like windows 😅

[pulsar trail]

oh that’s so cool!! @vernal oxide haha i love it

@fervent jay i think it’s cute!!! don’t tear it down!!!

[vernal oxide]

@pulsar trail thank you!!

@fervent jay was there more were you trying to add? Or what were you trying to go for?

[severe saffron]

can someone show me their map layout which doesnt have symmetrical rivers on the bottom, for inspiration? thanks!

[crude ledge]

@fervent jay it’s cute!!! Is it a painting spot? Maybe some stuff for coffee? (Lots of artists thrive on it after all) You can add maybe a bucket, some custom scattered stone paths, and more flowers to fill it in a bit also!! (Or if you’re like me, let the flowers take over)

[fervent jay]

i think i might move it to a smaller area another time bc i was trying to add more things but it looks off

[prime wharf]

hey guys im having trouble w how to decorate this little area ! any ideas ??

[fervent jay]

@fervent jay it’s cute!!! Is it a painting spot? Maybe some stuff for coffee? (Lots of artists thrive on it after all) You can add maybe a bucket, some custom scattered stone paths, and more flowers to fill it in a bit also!! (Or if you’re like me, let the flowers take over)
@crude ledge ywah thats sounds good! im going for a natural island so that sounds perfect, ty :)

[pulsar trail]

@prime wharf you could make it maybe like a music/concert area??

[stuck trail]

@severe saffron try searching "in: island-layouts has:image map" for lots of map inspo!
@prime wharf check the pins if you'd like to see a list of ideas (:

[night gorge]

how do I make it look better? want enough space to fish comfortably but still look kind of full:/ , I’m stuck, doesn’t look to natural to me either:(

[pearl steppe]

Anybody have any good ideas for displaying bug and fish models outside? Something other than in front of the museum? Already have some butterflies in the fairy/mushroom area. But i have a lot more butterfly and fish/shark models

[crude ledge]

@fervent jay ofc!! You could also add in stacks of books or the essay set, or scattered papers so it looks like failed artworks?

[fervent jay]

ohhh good idea ty!

[crude ledge]

Anytime anytime :)

[vernal oxide]

@pearl steppe I used a few butterfly models around the campsite!

[prime wharf]

@pulsar trail tysm ill try that out !! @stuck trail and ty ill do that also ! :))

[pulsar trail]

@pearl steppe maybe try terraforming different levels for dimension? or displaying them on little squares in a lake?

@prime wharf of course! 🙂

[icy flint]

kabuki's zen garden so far 🙂 need to do some traveling to get some bamboo tho

[soft plaza]

@icy flint theres a timed item in the nook store section of the ABD right nowcalled Bamboo grass that might look there

[icy flint]

@soft plaza on it!!

@soft plaza nope :/ don't have it in mine

[soft plaza]

@icy flint it should be there unless your not in july right now

[pearl steppe]

Thanks @vernal oxide and @pulsar trail I'll try those ☺️

[icy flint]

@soft plaza yeah its here just forgot to go to the seasonal items! ty!

[fathom nest]

does anyonehave nice cottagecore maps? x

[icy flint]

@fathom nest check the pinned messages for some cottagecore ideas

[pliant sun]

Hi guyssss any suggestions for my new york city section of my island? I need some shorter items that also light up so I can stack but idk what 🥺 (also waiting for gulliver & that statue of liberty LOL)

[vernal oxide]

@pliant sun small items that give off light are floor lights and paper lanterns! (If that’s what you’re looking for)

[plain forge]

@pliant sun use simple panels and customize some skyscrapers on it!

[pliant sun]

@vernal oxide : o I FORGOT I HAVE floor lights omg amazing thank you

[orchid widget]

Wow beautiful

[pliant sun]

@plain forge ahhh yess that’s so smart thank u so much 🥰

[icy flint]

@pliant sun if you have panels you can put building patterns to make seem that there are building (don't forget to add a corner store ifykyk)

[pliant sun]

@icy flint yess tysm! Gotta clear a custom space ahhaha

[flint bane]

how can I improve this?

[icy flint]

@pliant sun i have 1 purple neon sign and the red and blue neon sign if its for new york i gotchu

[vernal oxide]

@flint bane the picture is kind of blurry haha but it from what it looks like it looks good!!

[flint bane]

oh shoot wrong pic

[cedar acorn]

Anyone have ideas on what path to use for mermaid items

[vernal oxide]

@cedar acorn you might have better luck in the #custom-design-help🎨

[flint bane]

here's a clearer one

[vernal oxide]

@flint bane I think it looks really good!! The colors go so well together and it’s a gorgeous spot!

@vernal oxide thanks!

[kindred glade]

Anyone have any ideas for a museum with a large space in front of it without using inclines???

[obtuse saddle]

I made a butterfly pond with the body as the walkway leading to the museum entrance
Edit: I don't have my switch rn so I can't send a screenshot. It's a WIP.

[subtle wigeon]

Finally finished designing my island

[woven drift]

Please give me some suggestions

[pulsar trail]

@woven drift maybe take out some of the stones and add like a water element to it??

[woven drift]

Like what?

[pulsar trail]

@woven drift maybe even like a waterfall as the back wall?

[woven drift]

Let me try

@pulsar trail

[obtuse saddle]

Add some bushes

[plain forge]

@woven drift if it's more of an asian/zen cemetary, you can add a stone stool in front of some of the zen head headstones and drop a fruit or place an incense on top of it; you have to expand the space or take away a few of the zen headstones tho

[woven drift]

Bush?

Yes I’m trying to make it more of an asian kind

[prime trout]

My star gazing area. What do you think?/what can I improve? (Inspired by someone else)

[plain forge]

@woven drift yup, then a fruit/incense/or even flower in front of it would look good

[obtuse saddle]

For zen graveyards maybe add some incense burners and candleholders on a table near the grave

It did give me that feel. 😂 But don't worry you can still change it. :)

[twilit lintel]

Anyone have any ideas for a museum with a large space in front of it without using inclines???
@edwin.perez#8679 you can’t tell. But to the side of the museums, there benches and on the sides of the benches there’s podiums with small fossil display.

[dim coral]

Any one i need diplodocus chest fossil. That's the last one I need it .

[stuck trail]

@woven drift use a lot of celeste items, mush items, and butterfly models 😂

[marsh heron]

@dim coral go to #fossil-gyroid-trade

[dim coral]

Oh I don't have a fossil the trade.

[marsh heron]

You cant see the channel or what?

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift you might be able to find some YouTube videos of islands that are cottagecore/faircore (because I’m not all that sure either 😂)

[marsh heron]

You dont need a fossil to trade for another fossil just what the person is asking for

[stuck trail]

Woah @marsh heron in here?? I legit thought I was in #garden-science-discussion for a second lol

[marsh heron]

Lol gsd is quiet so i usually like to look arpund in other channels

[dim coral]

@marsh heron so you do have the fossils I need or no.

[marsh heron]

no because i never requested to trade i was saying where the correct channel for that was

[stuck trail]

@dim coral as was mentioned before you need to go to #fossil-gyroid-trade it doesn't matter if you have a fossil or not, you can trade bells/nmt/whatever. if you can't see the channel you need to verify at #721542917264638002 first

[marsh heron]

^^

[vernal oxide]

I don’t think I’ve ever really floated around to other chats 😂

[icy flint]

the selling channels are a warzone

[vernal oxide]

Yeah I was in the furniture trade one for a looong time. As well as the cataloging one. But then I discovered this one and you guys are just amazing 🥺

[tired arch]

this best channel

[ripe oracle]

How can you make an island more urban, I wish there were sky scrapers

[plain forge]

I jump around but this is the best channel by far

[tired arch]

silo maybe idk

[stuck trail]

@plain forge has great city ideas

[woven drift]

winged my museum entrance and i like it tbh

[icy flint]

@ripe oracle if you have simple panels you can add patterns to it to make it look like a building or items such as a smoker or a furnace to give off smoke

[plain forge]

@ripe oracle use simple panels with skyscraper designs! i.e. the buildings in front of my entrance:

[woven drift]

@plain forge that’s so creative!

pls help i feel like i just wasted like 3 million on redesigning my island and now that i see other peoples islands i want to restart but i cant because i have so many nice villagers what do i do ;--;

[vernal oxide]

Omg and my favorite thing is seeing other islands and pictures and seeing the progress made

[ripe oracle]

Oh yeah

That’s so pretty !

[bitter inlet]

renovate it, no need to restart @woven drift

[plain forge]

@tawny charm Those are more apartments than skyscrapers but if you go to #custom-design-help🎨 you can find lots of diff designs

@plain forge that’s so creative!
@woven drift tysm!! Also @stuck trail awe ty ♥️🥰

[ripe oracle]

Sometimes I feel like giving up but ima try and see what I can come up with, thank you!

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift I removed just about everything off my island minus trees, flowers and such. Items I put in storage and I moved all the buildings to the beach (which is a lot of money BUT it makes it easier to fix it up). So I’m fixing my island now and doing it section by section and I’m falling in love with it!

[icy flint]

my map layout for rn

[woven drift]

@icy flint I love your villagers! Although Tammi still haunts me

[sterile lion]

@ripe oracle like this?

[plain forge]

@ripe oracle never give up! I was so unhappy with my previous designs but after really thinking about what I was good at & seeing inspiration pics from here & Pinterest I finally am doing the design I'm happy with (for now 👀) it's a whole trial and error process but it's fun! :)

[icy flint]

@woven drift i want her to leave with a burning passion and she still won't leave

@woven drift tried everything... death notes, put banners up saying no more tammi, stakes out her house clearly not getting the point

[stuck trail]

@icy flint have you tried........ being friends with her

[ripe oracle]

THATS SO COOL OMG

[woven drift]

@woven drift tried everything... death notes, put banners up saying no more tammi, stakes out her house clearly not getting the point
@icy flint Give her spoiled turnips or trash, it'll decrease your friendship level

[ripe oracle]

Ima bout to do that to Quillson, I hate quillson

[icy flint]

@stuck trail wow assuming my friendship is so ass that she'll move out when i try being friends

[bitter inlet]

friendship level has no correlation to them moving out tho

[vernal oxide]

@ripe oracle I had used my brothers switch before getting my own and I got Quillson on both games 😐 I was so upset

[woven drift]

friendship level has no correlation to them moving out tho
@bitter inlet oh i thought it had an impact

[plain forge]

@icy flint it's true all of the villagers I became friends with wanted to leave and the one that I ignored would not go until I talked to them and gifted them the most atrocious things

[bitter inlet]

nah it’s completely random who moves out, aside from the most recent villager not being able to

[icy flint]

yeah what olive said tbh the best method from experience is talking to all the villagers to like and ignore the ones you hate and time travel 15 days and see if they wanna leave

[ripe oracle]

@vernal oxide omg nooo hahaha, that sucks

He’s so ugly. I visited him two times when he was sick and I didn’t give him medicine, I didn’t even talk to him

[icy flint]

gonna give tammi a tire

[vernal oxide]

@ripe oracle he already looks like he’s sick 😂😂

[woven drift]

also, im a little upset bridges/inclines dont line up with houses/shops

[bitter inlet]

I do agree with trying to accept ur “ugly” villager until they leave one day. I had Hippeux as my first campsite villager n wouldn’t even talk to him, but by the end I thought he was a kind soul

[ripe oracle]

@vernal oxide LOL Honestly tho

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift it’s the worse for my museum I used 2 inclines and my shops I did this:

[woven drift]

@vernal oxide getting alot of inspo ty

[icy flint]

but at this point i have 2 villagers i hate its tammi, and renee so odds of them leaving since its just the 2 of them is not in my favor unless theres a baby jesus miracle

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift np! I have a few areas done if you ever need more inspo! I have a pool area, smoothie bar with my orchard and bee area, I also have an outdoor library and my museum is kinda cute! Just lmk 🥰

[woven drift]

@vernal oxide ooh could you dm me with some ideas?

[fading pier]

redoing my entrance and looking for ideas of what I should do with the empty spaces above my log benches, ive tried filling with with shrubs and flowers but find that just kind of boring

[plain forge]

@bitter inlet ooo similar experience I had derwin as one of my first 5 and he grew on me so much, he's a sweetie (but I still let him leave after he asked a few days after his bday lmao)

[bitter inlet]

encouraging accepting villagers u dislike

[vernal oxide]

@fading pier not sure if you have them, but I feel like the mushroom items would look so cute!! Like the mush lamps would be such a nice touch

[fading pier]

@vernal oxide its hard to see but inbetween the nova lights on top i have white mush lamps, i might try adding more in that space though! ty

[plain forge]

@fading pier perhaps statues in the empty spaces in the middle

[fading pier]

@plain forge wow! i never thought of that but i love the idea! ty!

[molten dirge]

Can somebody send me some pics of how they used the silo?

[magic lark]

@fading pier sorry for asking but do you happen to have the code for the tile pattern you used?

[pliant sun]

Probably going to add some streetlamps & pave the ground so it isn’t... grass

[tired arch]

so much were open

[pliant sun]

Did I mention.. we’re open

[ornate wigeon]

@pliant sun hey um are you open

[icy flint]

@pliant sun ahh yes i love to see my old neon signs up there

[obtuse saddle]

Use the electrical post decor

[midnight turtle]

does anyone know how to make those skinny paths??

[pliant crypt]

Does anyone have some forest themed island that could share?

[sweet anchor]

If you have Apple can you please show me how you decorated her yard! I need inspiration 🙏🏻🤍

[pliant sun]

@ornate wigeon actually sorry... we’re not open

@pliant crypt I don’t but there’s a video that might help: https://youtu.be/b1e-OskUdpQ

[icy flint]

thinking of which items to find for my airport hq there's not a lot of space but i was thinking a white lighthouse, some desks, chairs, computers, or laptops anything else someone can recommend me?

[stuck trail]

@icy flint are you doing like an airport hq like the airline offices or like the airport security you go through to get on the plane?

[pliant crypt]

Thank you @vernal oxide you are the best!

[plain forge]

@icy flint folding lamps, potted plants!

[icy flint]

airline office like the ones that control the planes

[vernal oxide]

@midnight turtle do you possibly have a picture of what you mean?

[tiny cloak]

Wip :^)

[twilit lintel]

@icy flint how do you feel about this new entrance to julians mystical cove?

[tepid marten]

@tiny cloak what’s the code for the flower path?

[stuck trail]

@icy flint ohhh like air traffic control? definitely need some modern office chairs, maybe some scattered papers and/or a phone? or a fax machine

[tiny cloak]

@tepid marten let me find it hol up

[icy flint]

@twilit lintel you always kill it! but i love how you put one statue on the ground- maybe some white mums or roses to go along with it on the side

[rich ivy]

I keep seeing western styled castles anyone seen or built an asian one before?

[tiny cloak]

@tepid marten

[median vessel]

Thoughts on using the bamboo partitions as fencing for my entrance? Still a work in progress.

[tepid marten]

Ty It’s so nice!

[twilit lintel]

@icy flint I’m trying to blend the forest area to the entrance to the cove a little bit better. Most of that front area is being covered by the hotel. So it’s a bit hard to work with 😅

[icy flint]

@stuck trail tryna make a small note on what i should try to find and look for tomorrow but yeah i think i can catalog my old office desks and den chairs

[twilit lintel]

@icy flint remember that weird cliff that was separating the two areas. I tore down the beginning section to open it up more

[icy flint]

@twilit lintel yeah that must be hard but it looks like a good transition from what i remember the before being- yeah going to be hard with what space you got but i think you'll manage it nicely

[vernal oxide]

Okay so I made Marshal’s area a bit bigger than I expected 😅 BUT I plan to add more this is what I have now for his cafe. For lights I’m either thinking paper lanterns or mom’s candles. Any other recommendations?? Or suggestions?

[icy flint]

@vernal oxide if you want to reduce space you can put the seats together to make it a 4 seat table

[vernal oxide]

@icy flint I was thinking that but what table should I use that would be bigger and go with the area?

[tiny cloak]

O yeah, any tips for outside of Raymond’s house?

[icy flint]

also idk if you can buy this at the nooks cranny or if its a diy but its in my storage is a potted candle i added it to tia's cafe and it goes nicely with it

[mighty plaza]

Does anyone know how I can make my island look better? I have a ton of empty space and Im tryna make a cottagecorey vibe, problem is I dont know how to make that vibe.. Can someone give me some tips?

[patent bronze]

I’m looking for someone to help me decorate my island looking for a kind of cottage core theme. Dm me and I’ll send you some times that would work for you the head down to the island. You’ll get 10k bells per hour. Would be more but still trying to pay of loans)

[plain forge]

@vernal oxide you should use natural garden tables (they are a lot bigger)

[icy flint]

@tiny cloak could make a cafe for him but personally if i had him i would make a buisness like theme with a whiteboard an office desk, and all that

[tiny cloak]

@icy flint good idea, office cat needs a business

[vernal oxide]

@plain forge That is what I had. I had it in white but I felt like it just looked horrible

[twilit lintel]

@icy flint Yeahh. I have a house sorta near the left of that new entrance and it’s hard to decorate the yard and the new area to blend correctly. So the house areas is gonna be Erik’s yard and that new entrance area to the cove is a bit more mystical and fairy like. How should I blend the two areas seamlessly?

[icy flint]

what mockingjae said you can use the natural garden table and customize it with the white paint thats what i did with his backyard for rn @vernal oxide

[plain forge]

@vernal oxide since marshal's house is white, you should customize the natural garden tables a darker color, it miiiight have a nicer contrast

[icy flint]

@twilit lintel blending the two places between erik's place and the mystical cove?

[patent bronze]

LF, someone who would like to help me decorate my island to be more cottage core theme. I will provide my own furniture unless you would like to bring some to. I will give 1 or 2 NMT for helping out per day. DM ME

[icy flint]

@plain forge lmao personally i did the opposite and gave it a white color but i feel like either one goes

[vernal oxide]

@icy flint @plain forge thank you guys!! I’ll try that and see how it looks!

[icy flint]

@patent bronze you can go to the pinned messages to see some cottagecore theme ideas

[plain forge]

@vernal oxide or you can try these tables I had with marshal, it looked fine with his yard but idk how it would look with chairs :o

[vernal oxide]

@plain forge @icy flint this was the white one. I feel like I don’t like how the wood of it looks if that makes sense lol. And @plain forge I’ll definitely have to play around with those ty!

[twilit lintel]

@icy flint so in that top right corner, it’s stitches house rn. But it will eventually be eriks spot. But to the right obviously is the new entrance to julians mystical cove. Should I take out those shrubs and put more cedar trees. Or leave it as so? Also should I change the middle of the shrubs?

[icy flint]

@vernal oxide yeah i get that for me i feel like it goes better but thats all preference and opinion

[stuck trail]

@vernal oxide the low table might look good w/ cushions if you're considering it

[twilit lintel]

@vernal oxide I like the rattan set that I used for marshal. It gives it that tropical vibe and since his house is the near for you, you could use them as well I think

[vernal oxide]

@stuck trail do you think it would be weird if I only used the low table on the beach with cushions? Or vice versa? And keep the garden chairs and table?

[icy flint]

@twilit lintel yeah personally i think more cedar trees to make it blend better would work best and you could move the shrubs a couple of spaces down or put the shrubs in between the cedar trees

[vernal oxide]

@twilit lintel Thats also true. Especially since his house is kinda on a beach. Ty!

[stuck trail]

@vernal oxide I feel like I've seen the log bench used as a table on the beach with cushions as chairs pretty often. so you can try it with the low table and if it feels off maybe try that? has a way different vibe than what you have now so idk if that's what you're looking for haha

[twilit lintel]

@icy flint oooh okay! I’m try that! Ty!

[icy flint]

@twilit lintel glad i can help! lmk how it turns out

[vernal oxide]

@stuck trail haha my island is just whatever I feel like for different areas 😂 but ty! I’ll definitely play around with it!

Time to buy more customization kitssssss 😂😭

[plain forge]

@vernal oxide oooo also, there's a table with table cloth you can customize that you can put into consideration! 🙂

[vernal oxide]

@plain forge oouuuu I have that in my house in my kitchen. I will definitely look into that too! Ty!!

[twilit lintel]

@vernal oxide I’ve used the log bench tables on the beach before. It does take up a lot of space though.

[vernal oxide]

@twilit lintel it is super cute though!!

[versed wadi]

Asa

[plain forge]

@stuck trail ok but it looks BOMB tho

[jolly flicker]

Any plant farming layouts that look nice with more than 3 of each flower type?

[plain forge]

forever conflicted on making my campsite more natural in the woods or say fk it and put it smack in the midldle of my city lmaooo

[icy flint]

@stuck trail spooky scary ghost telling time!

[twilit lintel]

@plain forge I’ve seen it used as a theater stage and as a karaoke stage rather than a campsite

[icy flint]

pipwyn the god has emerged from his royal slumper

[plain forge]

@twilit lintel ooo, that's a good idea

[stuck trail]

@plain forge it can be an airbnb, just put it in someones backyard

[woven drift]

does anyone have a secret painting area? send pics for inspiration pleaseeee 😄

[plain forge]

@stuck trail big brained

[icy flint]

@plain forge make the campsite the town square just put a tree next to it with a bench and then put a path around it like a fountain lmao

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift mine isn’t secret. It’s on the little land that sticks out

[plain forge]

@icy flint o true, that could be my new RS/town square area since I made mine into the Staples Center LOL

[stuck trail]

@plain forge oh boy... here's a thought... what if it was like a transient camp 😬 too far?

[icy flint]

jeez i am tired read staples and my first thought was staples as in the store i get my notebooks from?

[plain forge]

@stuck trail nooks said the oceans are safe, can I put it in the ocean

[ancient narwhal]

does anyone have any ideas for a cottagecore orchard that doesn’t require a lot of space? my orchard is taking up a huge chunk of my island and it’s not very,, vibey ahhdjs

[woven drift]

does anyone have a secret painting area? send pics for inspiration pleaseeee 😄
@woven drift not quite secret tho...

[fringe heron]

Debating on removing this large chunk of cliff.
It seems unfitting since it seems too big and clunky, I feel like it also leaves out a lot of space near my swamp (If anyone is curious to see more of my map, I'd show lol)

[icy flint]

@fringe heron what in the heck are you doin in my swamp yes i wanna see it

[stoic pawn]

@fringe heron dont be shy show the swamp

[fringe heron]

ignore the finger cliff, that's intentional! xD

[stuck trail]

@ancient narwhal could you combine your orchard with a farm area? this was posted by @woven drift earlier this evening and might be more vibe-y than straight tree rows (if that's what you have now)

[vernal oxide]

@fringe heron I want to see the swamp 👀

[icy flint]

if theres no shrek outfit on display ima be sad

[fringe heron]

I wanted to surround the Resident service but it seems a little iffy now that I'm looking at it

[iron sail]

hi!! any feedback for this? it looks kinda off but im not sure what to do

[vernal oxide]

@iron sail that is so goddamn cute

[stoic pawn]

@iron sail thats so pretty omg

[iron sail]

thank you !!!! i just think its not symmetrical

[vernal oxide]

@iron sail I think it looks the way because of the mushroom lamps? But I may be wrong

[fringe heron]

To me it looks fine, but I do agree with Envy! It might be the mush lamps since, you want it symmetrical right?

[plain forge]

@ancient narwhal not my pic but if you don't mind your fruit trees in slightly different areas you can intergrate them on the sides of paths like this for minimal space!

[iron sail]

@vernal oxide yeah probably!! ill try moving them !

[fringe heron]

@plain forge
Btw, I absolutely love what you did there with your fruit trees! You made me inspired to do something similar but for another area instead of making a big orchard! 😄

[plain forge]

@fringe heron hehe it's not my pic but yes I'm going to do something similar to it since I'm doing a city theme ^^

[fringe heron]

Oh! whoops. ^^
Still, it looks super nice!

[rich ivy]

@plain forge that looks nice

I'm working on a Korean themed island and currently making the orchard too, I think puting Zen cushions with fruit sack custom design would look nice.

[flint bane]

any idea on how to liven this up?

[brisk hatch]

Help, I need ideas, what can I do in that blank space? I have a place for music, theatre, bike rental

[plain forge]

@flint bane maybe use a different pathing (i.e. wood or custom path), and less clutter of instruments (stick to one guitar) and add a few floor lights ^^

[stuck trail]

@brisk hatch check the pins for some lists of ideas (:

[plain forge]

omg I keep pinging the wrong person bc I'm dumb, mb lol

[pliant sun]

@brisk hatch u could do some beachside stalls like smoothies, ice cream, etc ! Or a surf & swim rental maybe ?

[flint bane]

@plain forge thanks! I'll try looking for custom paths!

[stoic pawn]

Has anyone got any inspiration for cottagecore/natural shop areas?

[twilit lintel]

@brisk hatch

[wet ore]

@brisk hatch maybe a snorkel or wet suit stand since it's right next to the beach

[brisk hatch]

@brisk hatch
@twilit lintel ohhh, that looks cool, thanks n.n

[rose dune]

which boardwalk?

[neon glen]

right

[wet ore]

Which bench looks better?

[twilit lintel]

@brisk hatch audie has a surf shack as well near the beach and Alice also has a tiki bar and restaurant

[brisk hatch]

@brisk hatch audie has a surf shack as well near the beach and Alice also has a tiki bar and restaurant
@twilit lintel im gonna do the sufr shack, but on the other side, so the bike rental is not so close

Which bench looks better?
@wet ore the one with hazel

[tulip wolf]

Finally finished the entrance to my home

[glad pasture]

I have a forest area where Judy Bluebear Murphy and Maple live!

[upper bay]

hey does anyone have the size guide to the islander houses, shops, etc

[vernal oxide]

@upper bay

[upper bay]

[glad pasture]

I love maple!!!

[twilit lintel]

New entrance for Julians’s Mystical Cove night and day look

[glad pasture]

Wow!!

[vernal oxide]

@twilit lintel it came out really nice!!

[glad pasture]

[twilit lintel]

@vernal oxide ty! I’m much happier with the way it looks now than before

@glad pasture go ahead!

[glad pasture]

Thanks!

[tired arch]

[crimson breach]

UR ISLANDS R SO CUTE TF MINE IS TRADH

[fallen citrus]

Anyone got some ideas of what type of tables and chairs would look good here?

[twilit lintel]

@fallen citrus I would probably use the brown rattan end table and chair. I use that all over my tropical themed island. It has a modern feel but also feel very beachy.

[worldly ginkgo]

@fallen citrus well what theme/area is it? rn id say stone table and stone stools but 🤷‍♀️

[stuck trail]

and here I was gonna say ironwood 😂 well there's a variety of options at least

[tame prism]

Looks like a beach theme area so I say Rattan

[fallen citrus]

the theme of that area is kinda like fishermans warf in SF or you see it as like a fish market

[twilit lintel]

@fallen citrus maybe the outdoor bench and table?

[worldly ginkgo]

hm i think black antique table mixed with customized ironwood lowtable

[icy flint]

I must sleep but I keep getting drawn back into discord rip

[twilit lintel]

@fallen citrus @icy flint I am the exact same way.

[brisk hatch]

the bad thing with the rattan is that you cant use them if you put them so close

[stuck trail]

@fallen citrus I like ironwood for sort of market areas like that (a lot of the food cart areas here have similar styles set up) but if it's really informal the outdoor table/bench could work

[fallen citrus]

@worldly ginkgo @twilit lintel i'll have to look into that

@stuck trail maybe the walnut ironwood table and chairs?

[twilit lintel]

@fallen citrus I found these great designs if you have open slots for your fish market

[tame prism]

😮 yeah, put those on cushions or on an outdoor table

[fallen citrus]

@twilit lintel that looks so cool woah

[stuck trail]

@fallen citrus I think that would look really nice with that set up!

[twilit lintel]

@fallen citrus if I had open slots, I would definitely use these to put them on my boardwalk area. But I thought they would be a great addition since you’re doing something similar as well. Just wanted to share 😊

[fallen citrus]

@twilit lintel definitely gonna use those tysm ☺️

[shut kestrel]

Anyone got a 5* island I can visit 😊

[solar wind]

@tulip wolf I never thought of making the first room a fancy foyer! So cool!

[plain forge]

@fallen citrus if it's fisherman's wharf themed I would do the log tables or natural garden tables! Since that's kinda what I saw when I went to visit haha

[hallow haven]

@twilit lintel nice layouts

[twilit lintel]

@hallow haven ty!

[fallen citrus]

@plain forge defineily want some sorta wood furniture. I'll play around with Ironwood, log tables, and the outdoor tables

[rugged yacht]

Anyone wanna visit my island and give me tips on what to do?

[plain forge]

@fallen citrus yuuup and nice thing about log tables is you can customize the placemats on it to look like plates of food

[fallen citrus]

@plain forge haha that's what i was thinking im making one rn to test it out

[rugged yacht]

someone help im struggling to make my island 5*

[plain forge]

@rugged yacht talk to Isabelle and see what you're missing. Follow her advice; if she says plant more trees, do that. Same with flowers and furniture if she says so. Use a mix of furniture, especially unique ones and expensive ones + a few Nooks items

[young basin]

y'all... i got genji recently and i'm thinking of putting his house in a zen garden, and calling it genji garden 🥺 and kabuki will have an onsen next to it whenever i get him, should i do it?

[stoic pawn]

@young basin definitely!

[twilit lintel]

@young basin go for it!!!

[plain forge]

Yes! My Genji's house is incorporated in my LA Little Tokyo; his house is so cute @young basin

[young basin]

that's adorable omg!

[stoic pawn]

this is probably my favourite part of my island, my crescent moon pond (: sorry for bad photo quality lol

[steady forge]

im stressed because i cant figure out what i want my island to look like and i have no creativity lmao

[austere trail]

can anyone help with a neighborhood layout i want to do? it’s pretty simple just 2 layers of houses pretty basic but i’m not sure if i should do 5 at the bottom and 5 at the top or 4 at the top and 6 at the bottom? which would be more “aesthetic”?

[icy flint]

@young basin I just made my kabuki zen garden I’m on my phone rn and about to go to sleep but if you scroll up eventually you’ll find my pic!

[brisk hatch]

I’m gonna do the surfboard rental on the other side, what do you think of this?

[austere trail]

[brisk hatch]

help, any ideas on what furniture to add to audie’s yard?? It kinda feels empty compared to some of my other villager’s yards :((
@hollow copper maybe put a custom path like seashells on the ground

[hollow copper]

@hollow copper maybe put a custom path like seashells on the ground
@brisk hatch ooh good idea, i’m gonna go look for some

[fringe heron]

Should I connect these two cliffs or keep them seperate?
(Ignore the fossil there.)

[limber ginkgo]

@fringe heron Separate

[fringe heron]

aight, thanks!
