[soft sparrow]

Very good show haha

[stuck trail]

@frosty wedge for my more "normal" (lol) villagers, I usually give them just a sort of generic yard. some flowers, a sitting area based on their interior furniture, maybe some books or a fruit basket to decorate. also if you look your villagers up on the ac fandom wiki, you can find their hobbies/goals that aren't necessarily expressed in acnh, you could choose to decorate based on that (:

[hazy stream]

My island is so sad and blank and I have no idea where to start. What part of your island did you guys start with so I have an idea of where to start

[versed reef]

yes!! one of my favs 🥺

[soft sparrow]

I need to get back into watching it for sure, haven’t watched it in a year or so I don’t think

[zenith roost]

Here's my take on a normal villager (Gala's house), still a WIP because i ran out of trees/bushes 😅

[frosty wedge]

@stuck trail ahh i didn't even think of checking their goals that's smart lmao, and i'm planning on using flowers for each villager with different colours and types based on their aesthetic

[tropic vapor]

i made my neighborhood all hedges but some villagers lawns don’t work with hedges but it doesn’t look good when i make different fencing so what should i do??

[molten dust]

@hazy stream I say start with the entrance and build towards the back of the map!

[frosty wedge]

for example pietro has a bunch of different colours to match his rainbow theme, erik will have orange & red flowers, merengue will have pink and white, etc.

[zenith roost]

Here's a few others for inspo, i only have 3 (almost 4) done, i only have concepts for a few though.

Kyle and Bam are two of my other favs so I had to get theirs done.

[floral nimbus]

Hi! Does anyone have a naturey island I can visit for inspiration?

[zenith roost]

It's also helpful to check out their wiki page, you can get inspo off their goal or even their Happy home designer request.

[opaque geyser]

I want to do something involving terraforming here (don’t mind the cliffs in the back) but I don’t know what would fit the vibe of my natural island... btw this area is right behind resident services and next to the campsite.

[frosty wedge]

lord why is terraforming so stressful

[floral nimbus]

cause there's so many options haha

[tropic vapor]

i made my neighborhood all hedges but some villagers lawns don’t work with hedges but it doesn’t look good when i make different fencing so what should i do??
for example al lawn look like this but only good on country fencing and gross with hedge

[zenith roost]

You can mix up fences with villager houses, they don't always have to be the same! Variety is key!

[eager burrow]

Hi! Does anyone have a naturey island I can visit for inspiration?
@floral nimbus I kinda do

[tropic vapor]

but with my row setup, it looks bad @zenith roost

[stuck trail]

@tropic vapor why do you feel it looks bad with different kinds of fencing? I've seen lots of cute neighborhoods that match the fence to the villager (:

[opaque geyser]

Any ideas? I want to do something involving terraforming here (don’t mind the cliffs in the back) but I don’t know what would fit the vibe of my natural island... btw this area is right behind resident services and next to the campsite.

[tropic vapor]

ok thx i’ll try it out @stuck trail i always thought that it looked weird with my row setup, but we’ll see how it goes

[midnight lion]

@tropic vapor if you have space, you could also double up the fencing so you have the consistency of hedges but a more customized fence to work with their furniture.

[lime jasper]

@opaque geyser park? Picnic area? Little cafe?

[stuck trail]

@tropic vapor it might help if you give a few of them different fences - that way you won't have 9 the same and one sticking out so much

[tropic vapor]

@midnight lion that’s a good idea but my space is somewhat limited, i’ll see how i can expand tho

[woven drift]

WIP - here’s outside my museum so far

I need a big dinosaur fossil to put in the middle of my dog site

[median vessel]

I need ideas this area behind my entrance and tea hangout area, I have an asian theme on my island.

[woven drift]

Does anyone know good villagers for a tropical island that aren’t normal

[icy flint]

just finished my nook cranny and the pathway to my other places! would appreciate feedback! ( trying to grow more green mums before adding them)

[woven drift]

@median vessel zen garden?

[stuck trail]

@woven drift Maybe Canberra (sisterly) or O'Hare (smug). sort of beach themed but they could fit tropical

[lime jasper]

@median vessel Asian restaurant?

[zenith roost]

@woven drift Audie? 🙈 She's Peppy.

[opaque geyser]

Where do you guys go for good inspiration?

[stuck trail]

@icy flint your pathing looks great!

[stoic pawn]

@opaque geyser pinterest is great for inspiration !

[icy flint]

@stuck trail ty tried to make my own but i found this through discord when someone posted it lol but im in love with it

[noble juniper]

@woven drift Julia maybe? (snooty)

[lime jasper]

YouTube and Pinterest@opaque geyser

[icy flint]

@stuck trail guess its time for marinas place lmao

[stoic pawn]

there are also some great instagram accounts for inspiration @opaque geyser

[noble juniper]

@woven drift and drift looks like a jungle frog, he's a jock

[opaque geyser]

Thank you all!

[lime jasper]

;)

[woven drift]

I just bought a t red skull to put in my dig site

[bronze tangle]

Need residents service area ideas

[woven drift]

Does Boone look like a good tropical villager?

[median vessel]

@woven drift @lime jasper I will defiantly give those a try! I will probably try the restaurant first, since my entrance is somewhat like a zen garden.

[noble juniper]

oh yeah, he's a baboon! forgot him, good choice

[woven drift]

What are some cute items to put in a museum gift shop

[stuck trail]

@woven drift I usually associate baboons with drier climates like savannahs, but he's very brightly colored which could fit the theme!

[lime jasper]

@median vessel good luck!!! 😁

[stuck trail]

@woven drift bug off/fishing tourney items, dropped fossils, maybe art?

[woven drift]

The gift shop is separate from these two I’m thinking a hat and unassassed fossil?

[crisp trellis]

Im getting really stressed and overwhelmed and was wondering if I could see some peoples entrances? my island theme is cottagecore and I just really need some inspo 😔 its really hard to make an entrance because my dodo airlines is like really close to the resident services

[noble juniper]

@woven drift gulliver hats?

[woven drift]

@crisp trellis mines is tropical but I could show u

[crisp trellis]

omgg tyy

[woven drift]

Gulliver hats is a great idea

[frigid canopy]

Thought I’d share my new castle, if you like it I have a new animal crossing Instagram @buoyant tree.island :))

[woven drift]

This is it

[crisp trellis]

thats really cute omg

[woven drift]

@crisp trellis thank you

I have acquired T. rex skull

Between Boone, rod, and drift which is the best jock for a tropical island

[stuck trail]

@woven drift Drift 💯

[woven drift]

Marina or June

[icy flint]

marina for me

[stuck trail]

@woven drift I say June 100%

[woven drift]

nobody reminded me to buy the T. rex tail u have failed me

[icy flint]

don't listen to bratty her autocorrect is messed up and changes marina to june

[woven drift]

Someone be the tie breaker for the tropical normal villager

[stoic pawn]

june 100%

[stuck trail]

Listen!! June has tropical clothing (hibiscus dress and hair clip), a tropical looking house, and a beach interior! i didn't stutter

[woven drift]

What do u guys think i should add

[noble juniper]

drinking fountain?

[stuck trail]

@woven drift Maybe a second reading area with a fireplace and comfy couches? If there's room

[sinful coral]

a rocking chair

[woven drift]

I’m adding barrels to my dig site

oh yeaaaa that could works.

[gilded charm]

i finally finish the place for my ankha

[woven drift]

What about the empty space in between the hedges? I put a bench on the front side, but idk if i should place it there as well xd

[stuck trail]

@woven drift could do benches. or, you might have space for a couple iron garden tables with one chair each, like an extension of the library seating

[woven drift]

Nice! Best use of that furniture I’ve seen os far

I haven’t seen much use of it

[stuck trail]

I didn't even realize you could place things on top of the golden casket 😳

[noble juniper]

@woven drift I'm thinking some kind of educational display with a small fossil, bug model, fish model

[gilded charm]

i still left two thing for finish it i need two golden lucky cats and is ready

[astral phoenix]

My museum gift shop is complete 😄 its kinda small tho but i ran out of space - eh its fine

[woven drift]

Need code for that hat right now

[silent thistle]

[woven drift]

Updated museum area- feedback appreciated

[terse terrace]

[thick timber]

Very cool

[bright jetty]

Love the colors, the pink and white look cute

[flint sage]

Does anyone here happen to use this starting map and mind sharing theirs? I just restarted and have no idea what to do design-wise. Thanks!

[void moon]

Can anyone help me with a witchy area inspo? I want to make one on my island ✨✨

[woven drift]

You don’t have to worry about terraforming for a while if you jut restarted

[noble juniper]

good layout

[stoic pawn]

@flint sage i dont have that map but @ kokireevee on instagram had it originally and shes got some good stuff

[wintry nacelle]

@flint sage that was my starting map (diff airport position though but close enough) before i restarted - hope this helps!

[flint sage]

Thank you both! 😄

[woven drift]

Here’s a better picture of my museum area

[stoic pawn]

@void moon i have one just let me grab a pic

@void moon here it is! still a wip but i like it so far and hope this helps

[noble juniper]

[void moon]

Thank you!!

[woven drift]

[celest wigeon]

I have no idea what to put in this small space next to my cemetery. Any ideas?

[terse terrace]

@limber ginkgo tbh i think the chairs are perfect

[limber ginkgo]

I'd like if the back was a bit lower but there's no better alternative

[bronze tangle]

Need residents service ideas

[woven drift]

most of the time when I build something I hate how it turns out but recently I’ve been liking how it turns out

just registered discord on my phone just to get a picture of my mama panda tea party

I’m really proud of my bee area

[stuck trail]

@limber ginkgo maybe shell lamps on top of a stool/table surface for the lighting? or even a customized table lamp

[noble juniper]

I was thinking tiki torches

[woven drift]

I’m really proud of my bee area
@woven drift omg that look so cool i wish i could do stuff like that but I only joined the animal crossing new horizons community a couple days ago

Just keep practicing

[icy flint]

wish there was unlimited space for the custom designs

[stoic pawn]

i stg some people have more custom design slots than i do

[icy flint]

i literally have one more spot left and there's no shot this will last

[woven drift]

Mama panda tea party

Something about that is hilarious to me

[dawn iris]

Can anyone tell me what website you can use to make your island mini map

[woven drift]

the one at the bottom left is looking away from the tea because they had a snack and are now full

[stuck trail]

@bronze tangle try #mysterybags-and-yardsales

[plain forge]

wish there was unlimited space for the custom designs

[terse terrace]

[limber ginkgo]

@uncut eagle My paintings have a permanent residence in my ||2nd player's storage||

[woven drift]

This fish has been exiled for being a naughty boi

his only friend is some weeds

[spark plover]

@soft plaza OMG ITS SO MYSTICAL

[woven drift]

I took away the weeds

Mama panda tea party

dont feel bad for the fish he was the 20th of that same fish species this week and i just joined this week

Black bass?

[stuck trail]

I, too, exile my fish. only the sea bass tho 😠

[woven drift]

Did you just make that or did you have thta already

[stuck trail]

..............I may or may not have already had it. Spoiler alert it doesn't work

[woven drift]

love this

[stuck trail]

Best part of my island by far 👌

[lilac lintel]

so I have this big empty space but I’m not sure what to do here I was thinking putting more layers here but Idk any ideas?

[woven drift]

Elevate

[noble juniper]

I put my lighthouse on a similar spot

[lilac lintel]

should I remove the path there and then elevate? Or keep the path @woven drift

[woven drift]

Update: added signs

I’d keep the path

[stoic pawn]

bad fish

[woven drift]

I’m done with the museum area for now

Update: crucian carp

im done with my exiled fish

[fallow lynx]

I’m making a Resetti construction site. Any good ideas to add?

[woven drift]

.....until i get a shark for now the fish are spared.

[spark plover]

anyone know what i should put in front of my museum?

[woven drift]

@spark plover

[shrewd condor]

Does anyone have an island with this water layout? Would you mind if I come visit to see how you designed it? ⭐️

[lilac lintel]

WAIT omg that looks almost like mine @shrewd condor I’ll show you one sec

[fallow lynx]

@spark plover

[spark plover]

my museum is surrounded with cliffs so i want something very casual that would fit it

[lilac lintel]

this is how I designed it so far @shrewd condor

[woven drift]

guys where should i post a picture of dizzy the elephant

Just the signs then?

[silk wind]

My museum entrance

[woven drift]

By the fish

im just gonna post it in off topic i dont wanna get a sting or something

[spark plover]

OMG WHAT @silk wind THATS AMAZING

[shrewd condor]

@lilac lintel oooh I like your placements so far! I am struggling with designs right now. Building things then tearing them down 😩😩

[lilac lintel]

@shrewd condor thank you ❤️❤️ and yeah I’ve been doing that a lot nothing ever looks perfect to me 😂 always have to restart it couple times before it’s good

[silk wind]

@spark plover tysm!!

[spark plover]

yw! also what are those things on the side called with the flags? @silk wind

[daring inlet]

LF zen/asian area inspo!!

[indigo dirge]

Here's what I designed for my two south outlet rivers, any ideas where to put museum, nooks and ables?

I shouldn't have picked this island smh

[silk wind]

@spark plover marketplace flags!

[shrewd condor]

@lilac lintel that’s how I am 😂 I get so frustrated when it doesn’t look perfect. This is mine right now but I feel like my waterway is so boring 🙄

[lilac lintel]

THAT LOOKS SO GOOOOOOD @shrewd condor

but yeah originally I was going to do a straight line waterway but I’m like hmm maybe I should make some nice curves in it and stuff

[tired river]

Anyone who had this layout can you show me what yours looks like. Idk what to do

[median vessel]

Found this while time traveling...how is this even possible my island is a total mess!!!! Lmao!!!!!

[shrewd condor]

@lilac lintel Aw thank you! That’s what I’m thinking too. I just don’t know how to start it. It took me FOREVER to get my villagers in the same area and perfectly in line haha

[blazing loom]

if my island don’t look like this when I’m done I’m quitting the game

[deep spear]

@tired river

[woven drift]

Holy Moley

[oblique pilot]

HOW

[icy flint]

Hey so I need some help in the black square that’s where I’m working on marina’s house and the beach, while I need some advice in the red squares and what to do. Im mainly done with half my villagers such as Erik, tia. Kabuki and for the villagers I didn’t do such as coco I was thinking a library/ ceramics place, but im open to suggestions and what to put there!

[deep spear]

thank you

[woven drift]

Lovely river terraforming

my secret music area by my house and on top is my stargazing area haha

[white pulsar]

pls rate my new entrance 🥺

[balmy violet]

@icy flint I'm redoing that exact red square spot on my island right now and it's themed for Papi! He's gonna live in the orchard I'm working on. A clay/pottery room for coco would fit nice!

[stoic pawn]

@white pulsar 9/10! if you added something to the right like some bushes or trees it would be perfect

[woven drift]

Fences wouldn’t hurt

[white pulsar]

@white pulsar 9/10! if you added something to the left like some bushes or trees it would be perfect
@stoic pawn i was about to get some shrubs, maybe pink camellias or something :) thank you, angel <3

[cerulean harness]

@white pulsar I would just say to maybe add more trees or bushes, maybe some fences, and maybe like benches? Otherwise, I love it!

[stoic pawn]

@white pulsar happy to help !

[molten dust]

Can everyone share their maps? I need some inspo!

[woven drift]

Here’s my library

[molten dust]

@woven drift its so cute!

[true acorn]

I love it!!!

[woven drift]

You guys might also like this then

[true acorn]

Yes i wish i could have ideas

[broken falcon]

That's so cute!

[woven drift]

I built this most recently

[true acorn]

Thats so cool

[mental rain]

Okay need some inspiration. What did you guys do for your museum, able and nooks area?

[molten dust]

@fiery jay I’m not online atm but you should send pictures through the chat 😊💕

[true acorn]

Oh what if there was wanted posters of Redd to go around the museum

[fringe heron]

Wanted to show my Museum.(I know it isn't too impressive. ^^;)

I had no other place to put it in. (It's super close to the resident services but the campground is also next to it. so.. 🤷 )

I might move the cliff a little bit so that I can add more stuff.

[fervent flax]

That's so cute! I love the little stone lion dogs

[true acorn]

Wow!

[mental rain]

Love it!!

[cloud surge]

I made this sideways path and i thought i’d share 🤷🏼‍♀️

[worn ruin]

@fiery jay I’m going for a similar theme except mine is also going to have some Fairycore mixed in so we can bounce ideas off each other if you want

[fringe heron]

Thank you.
I can show you what's next to the museum for those who are curious!

[woven drift]

My museum has an art display and dig site near it

[fringe heron]

It's still incomplete but here!
(this is behind the resident services.)

[earnest saddle]

hi guys! should i add a dirt path (or some other path) in the white empty space? i tried adding the light & dark dirt paths earlier but didn't really like how it turned out.

[quick rover]

maybe add some flowers

[worn ruin]

For my museum, I was thinking of doing waterfalls and the stone dog statues because it’s similar to a museum that I live nearby

[quick rover]

and maybe you could make a custom dirt path with the custom design app

[fringe heron]

@worn ruin
You should! The stone dogs really seem to fit well with museums. ^^

[pallid halo]

I made some signatures from my previous and current villagers, idea from u/Filbert180 on reddit :)

[woven drift]

I haven’t gotten much feedback on my museum area

[quick peak]

Redid my entrance, I plan on adding street lamps.
How’s it look?

[woven drift]

Nice!

[worn ruin]

@woven drift I just got on so I hadn’t seen yours until now but I think it looks so cool and creative!

[woven drift]

Aww ty

If there’s anything that you think would be cool to add lemme know

[worn ruin]

I’m sort of struggling with ideas for my museum area though because I want to do the waterfalls and stone dogs but I’m also afraid that it might not fit the Fairycore theme I’m going for

[woven drift]

Fairycore is interesting, you might be able to transition it

My entrance is kind of fairycore and my mushroom garden

[worn ruin]

Awww, I really like yours! It definitely has a Fairycore ambiance around it!

[topaz mountain]

@woven drift I'm obsessed!!

[woven drift]

My hyacinth farm

[worn ruin]

I’m in the northern hemisphere and can’t time travel so I can’t wait for fall to get the mushroom DIYs!

[woven drift]

Lots of butterfly models then

[worn ruin]

Yeah! I’m waiting for Flick to continue coming so I can get more models!

[fresh meadow]

Is it a good idea to make a pathway of these

[woven drift]

It’s creative for sure

[eager burrow]

Is it a good idea to make a pathway of these
@fresh meadow Really depends on your islands theme.

[fresh meadow]

Ok my theme is sorta pinkish

[eager burrow]

Ok my theme is sorta pinkish
@fresh meadow It's a terrific Idea

[worn ruin]

@fresh meadow I like it and think it’s different and cute! But then again, everything in this game is cute to me!

[eager burrow]

@fresh meadow I like it and think it’s different and cute! But then again, everything in this game is cute to me!
@worn ruin But not everything is different and in a world of repetition the unique cuties are the queens

[worn ruin]

If you like it, go with it! I know I would if I could lol!

[jovial fern]

Does anyone have their airport close and diagonal from resident services? I need some inspo

[opal perch]

Does anyone have hidden areas? Like a place surrounded by cliff :o

[woven drift]

Here’s my old entrance with RS really close to airport

[jade ginkgo]

Will someone come visit my island and give me some input of what they think? I’m all out of ideas 😩

[fringe heron]

Mine is somewhat close!
I can show you mine, just lemme take a pic of it!

[eager burrow]

@woven drift the moons are so much better with the openings facing out from eachother

[woven drift]

That entrance no longer exists

[eager burrow]

My center couldn't be any further from my entrance

[woven drift]

Use cliffs to block off RS if it’s too close

[frigid canopy]

My airport entrance ☺️ if you like it feel free to follow me on ig at ume.island. If you need help with design ideas I’m happy to help!

[eager burrow]

nah you gotta embrace RS, give it love

[worn ruin]

@fresh meadow very true! Unique cuties are the queens!

[tired river]

I need ideas for resident areas and how to separate houses, help! I’m also unsure if I should have most on the middle level with some surrounded by cliffs

[woven drift]

Bury it completely so it never sees the light of day again

[fringe heron]

Ignore the DIYs, here's my entrance! :)

[eager burrow]

My Rs

[fresh meadow]

Ok then I’ll do it I just don’t want it to turn out weird cause that’s what happens to everything I try to do

[fiery dagger]

i'm redoing my island and i just wanted to show off my new & improved entrance!!

[woven drift]

Sym here

[worn ruin]

I started renovating my entrance today so it’s not done, but I can’t wait for it to be, I really like it so far!

[topaz mountain]

My RS is a direct line from my airport!

[fringe heron]

Lucky! :0

[opal perch]

@frigid canopy impressive entrance! Def something i haven't seen before

[eager burrow]

Did you reset till that happened or just that lucky?

[topaz mountain]

It just happened! I didn't even really realize!

[eager burrow]

This is my entrance

I got the other 4 flowers on the sides, I wanted a place to have a collection of every flower

You can see how far my center is to my airport

[molten dust]

I’m sort of struggling with ideas for my museum area though because I want to do the waterfalls and stone dogs but I’m also afraid that it might not fit the Fairycore theme I’m going for
@worn ruin not sure if this helps but I found it on pinterest 🙂

[topaz mountain]

But like.. your island looks so cool @eager burrow

[eager burrow]

This is what I did with my museum

[true acorn]

Wow! It’s so cool

[eager burrow]

Im addicted to collections haha, collection of butterflys at museum and collection of flowers at entrance

[fringe heron]

gotta collect em all.

[worn ruin]

@molten dust You know what, that actually does help! Thank you!

[drowsy python]

Looking for ways to add more water... any ideas?

[eager burrow]

looks watery enough to me

everythings a path so youd need to chunk out some paths

[drowsy python]

Ok thanks for the help 😊

[scenic abyss]

My entrance! Only 6 spaces away from RS lol

[topaz mountain]

@scenic abyss Amazing!!

[eager burrow]

Fantastic job

[fringe heron]

6 spaces away and yet it still looks amazing.

[topaz mountain]

I could never !

[eager burrow]

This is how I would make my entrance if my RS was close

[scenic abyss]

😭😭😭 thanks y’all!!

[fringe heron]

imagine if it was so close to the airport that you couldn't even leave the entrance.

[icy flint]

no balls you won't delete your saved files

[eager burrow]

I swear once that path got made everyones island became 2x better

[stoic pawn]

true

[coarse jewel]

i am nothing without the path

[vernal oxide]

My entrance because my RS is that far away 😏

[topaz mountain]

I was in denial about that path.... until I used it

[scenic abyss]

I changed my path entrance so many times before I got really happy with this one!

[fringe heron]

the path is super good, it basically captures the same feeling of being back in the gamecube era.

well, atleast to me!

[eager burrow]

My entrance because my RS is that far away 😏
@vernal oxide I'm a sucker for spaced out villagers homes

[woven drift]

I’m also using The Path and this is my entrance

[topaz mountain]

I love it!

[eager burrow]

@woven drift Bravo on actually making the waterfalls look natural. Get so irked when they arent rounded off

[scenic abyss]

Omg the cliffs!! So beautiful

[molten dust]

what does everyones maps look like

[vernal oxide]

@eager burrow I’m trying to finish up the last chunk of my island, I’ve been procrastinating it. I’m doing a little cub area for my babies. And then Ankha (when I switch her for Elmer) will be in the middle of my island. And idk where to put Tia on my island 😅

[eager burrow]

This isn't really special but I like how it looks with cherry blossom

[woven drift]

@molten dust

[digital haven]

How do you people plan out your map layout?!?!?! I am having such a hard time 😔

[fringe heron]

really wish the cherry blossom trees lasted longer

[woven drift]

Also ty all!!

[eager burrow]

How do you people plan out your map layout?!?!?! I am having such a hard time 😔
@digital haven Randomly and keep a stack of dynamite on hand for destruction

[cerulean harness]

@digital haven I use Happy Island Designer! Its a website ^^

[scenic abyss]

All the customs paths make my map...not so great lol

[vernal oxide]

@digital haven I tried using a website to design it and then I tore it all down. But I do section by section to make it how I like!

[woven drift]

Y’all are so good at waterscaping

I started using customs too so the paths are disappearing on my map

[eager burrow]

I could never part ways with my CLACK CLACK CLACK

[woven drift]

Here’s my map now actually.

[scenic abyss]

I really miss the tapping sound 😭 I run around RS just to hear it

[woven drift]

@woven drift The terraforming looks gorgeous!!

I like the terra-cotta sounds but I don’t use that anywhere 😭

[eager burrow]

My friends island, what do you guys think?

[woven drift]

@woven drift tysm!!

[fringe heron]

Crabby.
🦀

[scenic abyss]

Love the symmetry 👁👄👁

[cerulean harness]

crab moon crab moon crab moon crab moon 🦀 🌕

[eager burrow]

haha you guys are cracking me up

[fringe heron]

man, now i wanna add more bridges.
I have too many inclines. lol

[stuck trail]

It sort of looks like a face on the moon haha. Like the scale is the eyes and the cancer table is facial hair 😭

[abstract kelp]

Completely destroyed my last entrance and tried to find a style and design that I love with the limited space I have. Super happy with it

[woven drift]

@abstract kelp lots of people complain about their RS being close but you made it work and made it look really nice!!

[narrow steeple]

yall have these adorable entrances and theres just me with a basic fountain in front

[icy flint]

omg yes renee is finally leaving my town thank the animal crossing gods

[eager burrow]

House of bones is a fake museum on my island that hosts 19 unique fossil fusions inside.

Here's one of the rooms

[icy flint]

he said screw blathers i run the show

[narrow steeple]

lmao fax

[eager burrow]

he said screw blathers i run the show
@icy flint my alts name is actually blagthors

[icy flint]

blathers rn "am i a joke to you"

[narrow steeple]

^^

[stuck trail]

terrifying

[abstract kelp]

@woven drift Thank you! This is what my old entrance looked like. It didn't feel like me and it's not my style but I was so stuck on what to do with my space. Decided to take it all down one day and start from scratch

[eager burrow]

@abstract kelp that's still really pleasing, especially the tiny stream

[woven drift]

@abstract kelp haha it’s ok bc I redid my entrance about 4-5x already

[narrow steeple]

@abstract kelp yeah thats still rlly cute lol

[coarse jewel]

finishing up molly's house

[eager burrow]

I like the tiny sitting area

[woven drift]

This was my old entrance

[coarse jewel]

thank u!! @eager burrow

[eager burrow]

ohh and you made the illusion that the fireplace is connected to the house with the cypress @coarse jewel

[woven drift]

@coarse jewel that’s so cute!! Also I finally used the maoi statue you gave me a long time ago lol 🥺

[coarse jewel]

@woven drift omgg thank u!! and show me !!!

[eager burrow]

This was my old entrance
@woven drift You made a good decision with the revamp. The old is good but the new feels so right

[high aspen]

can’t good ideas on how to display space items from celeste?

[native hinge]

Cottagecore themed island 😇

[woven drift]

@coarse jewel I made a pirate area with it but I will be making the pirate area bigger now that Gullivarrr exists!!

@eager burrow yeah I just got tired of it and I will probably get tired of my new one eventually too 😂

[coarse jewel]

@woven drift i love it omg

[fringe heron]

This is next to my entrance but I'm debating on removing the stegosaurus statue. (It was meant to act as a monster! but it doesn't fit anymore.)

Should I remove it and move it somewhere else?

[pallid wedge]

i need ideas on how to decorate my plaza

[narrow steeple]

im thinking about changing my pathway on my island, im looking for a very naturey look

[native hinge]

Dirt paths are good you should use them

[narrow steeple]

yeah but i think that them by themself is boring im looking for like patterns n stuff

[native hinge]

Yeah im looking for these cool dirt paths that twist and turn

[narrow steeple]

yeah exsactly

[eager burrow]

i need ideas on how to decorate my plaza
@pallid wedge The fruit and pitcher are for villagers to eat and drink while in the plaza, the statues and desks are to match the pillars of the plaza. In the background their are two 5 space iron bridges to make it look like one long bridge is spanning the whole back side as well as two staircases to the left and right

[median vessel]

Thoughts on the progress for my asian restaurant. Still need more chairs and table settings, but thoughts so far??

[native hinge]

I cant find the code

[narrow steeple]

oh i rlly like that path

[woven drift]

I use that too. 9 slots lol. More if you want the single tiled ones

[pallid wedge]

@eager burrow thanks!

[narrow steeple]

wait that path takes up 9 slots?!

[woven drift]

Yup lol

[narrow steeple]

nvm then lmao

[fringe heron]

I remember that it took up 7 slots unless I'm missing a few patterns for it.

[narrow steeple]

thats still a lot!

[native hinge]

It took up 14 slots on mine

[eager burrow]

This is next to my entrance but I'm debating on removing the stegosaurus statue. (It was meant to act as a monster! but it doesn't fit anymore.)

Should I remove it and move it somewhere else?
@fringe heron If you add more dinos throughout your town itll feel less out of place. also the lamp blocks its head which could use work.

[narrow steeple]

o m g

[woven drift]

I'm back to help with tips! >:3

[topaz mountain]

Has anyone decorated a yard for Molly? I'm drawing a blank and can't think of any ideas

[native hinge]

I made a nature kinda theme for Molly

[fringe heron]

@eager burrow

It's why I was thinking that I should move the dinosaur to another place that might fit it better!

So, should I? (if I do, I might need to figure out what else to put there in that empty spot.)

[woven drift]

9 slots minimum. I didn’t take the single ones. But for the complete thing it’s 12 slots. It’s worth it tho imo

[eager burrow]

@fringe heron Yeah I mean thats the kinda view that can be anywhere on your island and still provide the same feel

[cerulean harness]

@narrow steeple @native hinge The dirt path code is: MA-6647-9230-4716 . sorry to bother ^^

[narrow steeple]

yeah but i have other patterns that change if i take up the slots

[native hinge]

@topaz mountain i did this for Molly's house

[coarse jewel]

mine takes up 9 but worth it lol

[narrow steeple]

oh tysm @cerulean harness

[fringe heron]

@eager burrow
Thanks!

[tropic vapor]

what items look good around a museum (i don’t have pics)

[topaz mountain]

Perfect! thank you! I kinda firgured the nature route was the best but I wasn't sure which items to use!

[native hinge]

Most of the stuff i usee are craftables

[narrow steeple]

i will have to give up some patterns 😢

[woven drift]

@tropic vapor If you can, maybe flowers and / or a fountain?

[tropic vapor]

@woven drift that sounds like a good idea but my museum is surrounded by stone so flowers wouldn’t work and no space for fountain

[woven drift]

The path is so worth it. I use it everywhere now

[topaz mountain]

@native hinge great!! thank you!

[grizzled compass]

What should I add to my entrance?

[narrow steeple]

@woven drift that is ADORABLE

[woven drift]

@narrow steeple ty I love maple so much 😭

[tropic vapor]

@grizzled compass ik it’s a rare item but on top of the cliff on the left put a statue of liberty? or any redd statue

[eager burrow]

My beach shacks

[grizzled compass]

@tropic vapor that’s a good idea

[cerulean harness]

You all are flexing HARD

[tropic vapor]

@grizzled compass also put a shrub somewhere (hydrangea would look best imo)

[eager burrow]

Rory's back yard.

[tropic vapor]

his backyard a whole shrine lol

[native hinge]

Opinions on Eric's house? Idk i kinda feel like it's missing something

[icy flint]

idk who my 10th villager is going to be but i could get judy and give her a black theme

[woven drift]

@native hinge I love that look so much! Maybe another bush / shrub?

[stuck trail]

@native hinge you could add an old-fashioned washtub near the clothesline maybe?

[eager burrow]

@native hinge It just need a cedar tree or two and itd be perfect, you can make smaller cedar trees stunted in growth by plant a (fruit) tree sapling next to it

[native hinge]

@woven drift haha yes but leif hasnt been here for a little while so finding shrubs is a bit hard for me 😅

[tropic vapor]

@native hinge u kinda put it at an angle where it looked super full but u should put another shrub or a drying rack

[woven drift]

I think more weeds will look nice there lol @native hinge

I got lucky with my starter villagers. I got Shari & Hamlet-

[eager burrow]

Carmen's house

[native hinge]

Thanks guys

[woven drift]

I made Erik a post office 😂

[peak swift]

Hey Ik this is off topic I'm new here just got discord can anyone tell me where the trades r or where U trade? I'm rlly sorry

[tropic vapor]

@peak swift anywhere in marketplace

[narrow tapir]

does anyone have layout ideas for this type of island? I'd love to see them please!!

[stuck trail]

apparently I cannot ping and use a bot command simultaneously 😒

[peak swift]

Ty sorry!

[woven drift]

@peak swift You need to go to the #721542917264638002

Erik’s post office

[topaz mountain]

That's so nice!

[tropic vapor]

oohhh it’s old fashioned nice

[woven drift]

You can also add a sled for Erik @native hinge

[eager burrow]

@woven drift what song you got playing?

[lucid sun]

Omg it’s soo cute! @woven drift

[tropic vapor]

my villager houses are so standard and connected

[woven drift]

@eager burrow KK Sonata bc I based the area of Violet Evergarden and that song remind me of it for some reason 😂

@topaz mountain @tropic vapor @lucid sun thank you 🥺♥️

[echo sparrow]

the worst part is, is when your map is the ugliest thing on earth but your island is kinda cute

[eager burrow]

My mermaid spa. Ik im spamming but I cant help it haha I finished my island and now I'm bored so thought I'd just share it all.

[echo sparrow]

ugh i have been a MESS trying to make a neighborhood + fill up the rest of the empty space on the "main" island

[lucid sun]

@eager burrow that was one of my favorite parts of your island

[tropic vapor]

@echo sparrow u think u know it

[topaz mountain]

I had a neighborhood and I found that it took up way too much space!

[stuck trail]

Tbh your map doesn't really matter that much, visitors are going to pay way more attention to your actual island than they will to your map

[native hinge]

@woven drift omg yes

[woven drift]

Entrance to my museum

@woven drift Love it!

[twilit lintel]

@topaz mountain i so agree. i had a neighborhood, but then moved them into themed areas that i already had made. no regrets at all.

[echo sparrow]

im having trouble making a neighborhood. i don't have the good amount of space so they get mini lawns but then it looks weird and there's just some grass area i'd like to cover but not with flowers on all of it and it's just rough out here

[stuck trail]

@eager burrow Oh, I like the new look with the white whirlpool in place of the black!

[eager burrow]

@eager burrow Oh, I like the new look with the white whirlpool in place of the black!
@stuck trail Yeah it was still wip before but someone suggest white instead and they where right, as well as a few other changes

[twilit lintel]

@echo sparrow honestly, when i had a neighborhood, their yards were so tiny it was hard to decorate. so if youre unhappy with them, spread them out. its gonna take time and money but its worth it in my opinon. you dont even have to separate all of them. you can group them up

[tropic vapor]

made a lil lawn for al :3

[topaz mountain]

@topaz mountain i so agree. i had a neighborhood, but then moved them into themed areas that i already had made. no regrets at all.
@twilit lintel Right??! I'm in the process of moving everyone! It was a cute idea but honestly didn't suit my island at all!

[woven drift]

@tropic vapor So cute!

[tropic vapor]

@woven drift i think it would look better with dirt ground should i go for it

[twilit lintel]

@topaz mountain same. it did not fit at all. my theme is tropical resort. so it rly needed more shops ideas. and thats what i did for my villagers. most of them have jobs.

[eager burrow]

My rock garden. All the rocks are the same shape too!

[woven drift]

@tropic vapor Absolutely!

I feel so new and noob-like.. iI only got the game on June 1st and i've already remodeled 3 times!

[tropic vapor]

@woven drift i’m a lil scared it’ll stand out too much from my neighborhood

[topaz mountain]

@twilit lintel that's so smart! It looks so good! Mine is more of a natural/cottage vibe so obviously a neighborhood was almost impossible to make look good in the area!

[plain pier]

Hi guyss!
Any idea what i should put over here im stuck or should i build second tier?

[echo sparrow]

yeah i mean idk

[twilit lintel]

@woven drift dont feel too bad. ive remodeled 5 1/2 times and i still have some areas that are still wip

[stark flint]

Send me where your museum is in your map, i need inspiration & want to start designing my island

[wooden ice]

My island is a hot mess

[woven drift]

@tropic vapor Oh! Don't do it unless you want to! I just personally love the dirt paths.

[twilit lintel]

@stark flint, heres my map @topaz mountain yeah in my opinion, neighborhoods for that type of theme makes it look unnatural. so its better to spread them out

[wooden ice]

But I refuse to gut it and start over

[native moth]

Do my panels look like sky scrapers??

[abstract kelp]

Does anyone have ideas or inspo pics for this area? It's right next to my entrance! I just want something cozy~

[woven drift]

@native moth You bet they do!

[tropic vapor]

@native moth u could do servers too but those look just fine

[wooden ice]

@abstract kelp can’t go wrong w some birch log furniture... ive used that for some beach areas

[native moth]

I tried servers but idk wasnt quite doin it for me

[tropic vapor]

@tropic vapor Oh! Don't do it unless you want to! I just personally love the dirt paths.
@woven drift i rly do wanna do it tho 😭 i just don’t know what effect it’ll have for the rest of the villagers

[echo sparrow]

this is just an example. see the lawns are kinda small and idk how to feel about it. (for reference, i changed the fence that’s directly behind the tree to have the same pattern of mums)

[robust cedar]

Can someone come help me design a castle with my house

[woven drift]

@tropic vapor Oof.. well do what you think you should!

[tropic vapor]

i’ll try it out for now

[twilit lintel]

@echo sparrow thats more room than what i had for my villagers. i literally gave them tiny tiny areas.

[echo sparrow]

hmmm should i plan out the back side of the neighborhood then? and see what the final result is ?

[abstract kelp]

@wooden ice Thank you! I'll try that. I wanted a nice seating area so that should work

[queen pilot]

Hiii sorry to cut in but I’m just so proud of my island’s farm 🥺

[topaz mountain]

@echo sparrow I also had literally no space for my villagers, I couldn't even fit a table!

[wooden ice]

The default blue cushion sets look nice but obv you can custom design as well @abstract kelp

[echo sparrow]

you should be proud! it’s very cute

[twilit lintel]

@echo sparrow this was what my villagers yard looked like when they were grouped up together. Their yards were so small.

[woven drift]

@queen pilot I LOVE IT

[queen pilot]

Aaaaa thann you so much 😭

[topaz mountain]

@queen pilot I'm so jealous!

[gritty warren]

@queen pilot it does look cool

[queen pilot]

I got a little goat area too 💞

[gritty warren]

Baa

[woven drift]

@queen pilot Oh my gosh! How long did that take!? It's adorable!

[echo sparrow]

mine are a bit different. they’re DIRECTLY next to each other

[woven drift]

Any yard ideas for Celia or Shari?

This is prob my fav area on my island

[gritty warren]

Ngl, it's a mess sorry if I'm rude

[balmy flare]

Organised mess

[queen pilot]

@woven drift took about 2 days tbh pretty quick 😭

[woven drift]

Lmao it’s supposed to be

[topaz mountain]

I love it!

[balmy flare]

Ye I like it!

[fleet laurel]

Looks cool!

I hate the layout of my island

[gritty warren]

I made this diving platform, and here's the code if you're interested in the sign

[obtuse falcon]

Does anyone have any ideas for a resident neighborhood?

[fleet laurel]

woah! looks sick!

[woven drift]

More mess 🥵

[topaz mountain]

Obsessed!

[gritty warren]

"Organized mess"

[woven drift]

My theme is cluttered cottagecore 🤣

[fossil briar]

THATS SO CUTE!!

[stuck trail]

Cluttercore 😁

[topaz mountain]

how are ya'll so creative!

[fossil briar]

how are ya'll so creative!
@topaz mountain fr!!

[gritty warren]

Borrowing ideas from others and making them my own

[stuck trail]

@obtuse falcon I definitely recommend putting some thought into whether you'd like scattered or organized for your residential area. If you do decide to keep all your villagers together, these are some ideas for layouts

[tardy burrow]

Hello everybody ! I wanted to share my map and how I set villager yards 🙂 I like it to be minimalist. I took inspo from Pinterest

[peak swift]

What can I add to make this look better?

[obtuse falcon]

Thank you!!!

[gritty warren]

Ducky Galore

[gritty warren]

Add a fountain maybe

[peak swift]

@gritty warren where should I add it?

[gritty warren]

Just experiment and find a place that you like

[peak swift]

Ok ty

[gritty warren]

Uh oh

[woven drift]

He's imprisoned for his crimes

I- Is Raymond o k!?-

[gritty warren]

Dare I ask what he did?

[steep timber]

War crimes

[fringe heron]

did he commit tax fraud?

[woven drift]

He committed war crimes and tax fraud yep

[steep timber]

Good

[woven drift]

This is my duck pond :~) but the paths are different now

In reality, I had an empty plot and I was looking for a horse villager. Came across him and was like "wellllll" so I'm holding him for a friend who really wants him

Wow-

[gritty warren]

That's sweet

[fringe heron]

Nice! Hope your friend is happy once they get Raymond.

[stoic pawn]

@woven drift how ????? thats so good!

[gritty warren]

You make a strategic, organized mess

[woven drift]

@stoic pawn thank you 🥺

[twin birch]

How do you all make your islands so cute and perfect!? Meanwhile my island looks like hot garbage

[woven drift]

450 hours of gameplay

[topaz mountain]

@woven drift I'm in love with your entire island....

[gritty warren]

Seriously though, @woven drift , your island looks really good!

[wispy dawn]

#hotgarbagecore

[fringe heron]

I'm at 890 hours of gameplay and my island hasn't reached it's peak yet.

[wispy dawn]

Hot garbage core islands are so hot right now

[stuck trail]

@fringe heron glad it's not just me!

[twin birch]

I have 500+ hours and my island looks like poooooop

[woven drift]

@gritty warren @topaz mountain thank you 😭

[gritty warren]

Uh

[woven drift]

Here's my entrance! Anything I should add?

[stoic pawn]

i thought i had played for a long time with my 370 hours are you guys okay

[gritty warren]

Maybe a better pathway, or a more obvious one?

[woven drift]

@gritty warren Alrighty! I'll keep that in mind!

[fringe heron]

@stuck trail
Phew, that's a relief.
I thought I was the only one who wasted my life with this game.

[wispy estuary]

630 hours :l

[gritty warren]

195, got the game day 1

[woven drift]

207 hours in a month- TwT

[vernal oxide]

I’m at 270 with my new island. Old island had like 600 💀

[woven drift]

I think there’s ppl with 1000+ hrs due to afk hours and they’ve been having the game since release

[fringe heron]

im going higher. i want to reach 2,000 hours.

[woven drift]

I got my game in april

I got my game and switch on June 1st-

[gritty warren]

I wasted my comment, time to wait 30 seconds

[wispy estuary]

I got my game 1st day of bunny day

[fringe heron]

I got it since the very day it released.
It felt barren but after months of updates and lackluster events, it was somewhat of a nice experience.

[gritty warren]

Screw bunny day, more like bunny gay

[wispy dawn]

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes....

[wispy estuary]

Hoppers just a depressed man

[gritty warren]

*Zipper

[fringe heron]

only reason why i hate bunny day was because i couldn't get the cherry blossom diys.

[wispy estuary]

Ahhh yes hipper

[woven drift]

JSJSJJS I'M SORRY I LAUGHED AT HOPPERS-

[steep timber]

S75od7rdo7d7t_ hoppers- POGGERS-

[gritty warren]

What if you unzip him and he is just a tiny bunny

[woven drift]

OMG, THAT-

@fringe heron i time traveled just to get one cherry blossom diy-

[gritty warren]

Aw

[fringe heron]

zipper is a robot that was made to torture us--
OUF, I MISSED THE CHANCE TO TIME TRAVEL

[steep timber]

Off topic btw lol

[gusty abyss]

Any ideas for like a market place area to put my tailor's and my nook's cranny?

[gritty warren]

Wait, how do u get the cherry blossom diys, from the villagers and the bottles during spring?

[stoic pawn]

balloons

[fringe heron]

Ohhh! I have a market place.
I'm not sure if you'll like it though!

[dire bear]

Does anyone have pictures of "park" areas on their island? I'm looking to utilize the sand box, elephant slides, jungle gym, etc

[rough finch]

@dire bear

[lavish monolith]

@dire bear

[fringe heron]

@gusty abyss

This is my Ables!

[gusty abyss]

Omg! that looks amazing!

[fringe heron]

@gusty abyss
and this is my Market. (WIP)

Hope it inspires you!

[fringe garden]

The darker area on the left is temporary but I kinda like it? I just grabbed random stuff in my inventory to fill things in cause it was bare.

[median sonnet]

i have a tinie park next to bbq area, no elephant slides tho

[rough finch]

@gusty abyss ables

[lavish monolith]

@gusty abyss i only have ables on my market place

[gusty abyss]

these are all inspiring thank you!!

[fringe heron]

Glad to help!

[rough finch]

@gusty abyss nooks

[fringe garden]

What should I add here this is merengues house I’m planning to move her eventually but for now this will do.

[fringe heron]

@rough finch
what you did there reminds me of that spongebob episode where Mr. Krabs made a boat and his restaurant was ontop of it.

[lavish monolith]

@fringe garden it looks pretty cool. Kinda dark but if you customize the stalls or the well or even add in plants, it should look better

[fringe garden]

@lavish monolith thank you! I will definitely add more plants and variances of stalls

[lavish monolith]

I made merengue's yard the cute cafe

[fringe garden]

@lavish monolith that is too cute it fits her personality so well

[dire bear]

@rough finch @lavish monolith @median sonnet omg thank yooouuu!!!

[vernal oxide]

@gusty abyss I’m late to the party but here’s my Ables and nooks 😂 I’ve added some mom’s items since i took this picture of my Ables lol

[fringe heron]

I'm not sure what to put here in this spot. (I removed a stegosaurus that I had here.)

[median sonnet]

obligatory new diving area, mine ended up next to my house so i can wake up and dive

[stoic pawn]

@fringe heron brick well?

[astral phoenix]

Entrance is complete but i was thinking about adding some cherry blossom branches - i just cant tell if they fit what do u guys think?

[clear lantern]

anyone have tips on how to make natural diagonal rivers?

[fringe heron]

@stoic pawn
Not sure if it'll fit.

[viscid tapir]

Entrance is complete but i was thinking about adding some cherry blossom branches - i just cant tell if they fit what do u guys think?
@astral phoenix

I'd stay to white decor

[astral phoenix]

I already added white roses on the natural fountain structures but i feel like something else goes in the walkable area

[normal sentinel]

Guys I’m moving the able shop and the nook shop we’re should I put it?

[stoic pawn]

can we see ur map?

[vernal oxide]

@normal sentinel I put mine near my airport

[normal sentinel]

Oh ok thanks!

[echo sparrow]

(PS: it’s by no means done and neither is the entrance :p)

for everyone who i was talking to about my lawns being small, this is what i meant. does it look weird????

[native moth]

I originally planned a little bamboo grotto but it turned into a hobo hole 🤷‍♀️

[twilit lintel]

@clear lantern it’s all trial and error really. I put in 2 diagonal bridges for my water bungalow area. I think it looks pretty natural considering that my island theme is tropical resort. But maybe this thing will help

[hybrid oyster]

does anyone have any inspo/ideas for merengues yard? idk what furniture i should put outside her house

[clear lantern]

@clear lantern it’s all trial and error really. I put in 2 diagonal bridges for my water bungalow area. I think it looks pretty natural considering that my island theme is tropical resort. But maybe this thing will help
@twilit lintel tysm! this helps so much :)

[twilit lintel]

@hybrid oyster I made her a diner and put her in my plaza next to ables and nook cranny

[stoic pawn]

@hybrid oyster ive seen a lot of people make cafes or bakeries for her

[native moth]

My star viewing area. The forced point of view makes the pagodas look bigger. This is two levels up.

[vernal oxide]

@hybrid oyster I haven’t decorated her outside yet but I’m doing a bakery with some of the items here (this is an old setup on my island)

[echo sparrow]

@twilit lintel i put my video up there of the front part of the neighborhood. that’s how close the houses are and how big their lawns are. opinions?

[lavish monolith]

@astral phoenix if you want maybe arrange the benches around the statues then put shrubs on the edges by the water. Then put the cherry blossom tree on the corners

[tepid jackal]

My humble abode

[twilit lintel]

@echo sparrow compared to what I gave my villagers, you have more room. But you could always utilize the front more by taking away part of the paths. If you’re really unhappy with it, spread them out some more.

[astral phoenix]

@lavish monolith lets see how that plays out - brb

Ok so good news and bad news - the good news is that it looks great and now i can add the branches - but - theres no space for hedges

[stoic pawn]

Anyone got any tips on how to make your island feel bigger?

[astral phoenix]

Overall a win in my opinion @lavish monolith thank you!!

[vernal oxide]

@stoic pawn I feel like everyone else’s islands will always feel bigger but I also believe a lot of people do a lot to their island with terraforming and trees to hide areas and such

[twilit lintel]

@stoic pawn try to utilize your space as much as possible. You really don’t need to make large areas. You just need to make areas walkable. Also using big and tall items fill up more space making it feel larger as well. It takes up space, but makes it feel tall

[stoic pawn]

@twilit lintel @vernal oxide ty!!

[viscid tapir]

I'm looking for inspiration ramen stands!! Ty in advance

[astral phoenix]

@native moth that looks so good oml - do u mind if i use the shape of that setup for my fancy asian restaurant?? The cliff shape and the pagoda placement. Let me know

[native moth]

@astral phoenix ofc! Send pics on chat when you are finished and tag me 🥰🥰 I'd love to see it

[twilit lintel]

@stoic pawn here are some pictures of my island and how I utilized my space. I tried to not overcrowd areas by not over decorating. But I use taller and wider items to also make it seem bigger and so it takes up space as well. I give just enough space to walk through areas. I don’t give more than 1 square of walk room because that’s just waste of space

[void gorge]

should I put green, pink or white lights for the top cliffs

[woven drift]

Pink or white-

[void gorge]

eek but what singular one

[broken flame]

add some matching or contrasting flowers too

[void gorge]

that won't work, there's water there, it's a fountain.

[broken flame]

pink lights and white flowers or vice versa maybe

[digital haven]

That sad moment you spend a hour planning out your island and happy island designer glitches

[void gorge]

yikes, rip

[broken flame]

that won't work, there's water there, it's a fountain.
@void gorge Id do a set of flowers in front and lights in back

[void gorge]

idk if it'd work tho

[broken flame]

I have something similar, I’ll show you what mine looks like

I like plants or something in front cause then it hides the actual light itself but you can still see the light it radiates, might just be personal preference though

[woven drift]

This is the only exterior area with 80% of my own creativity. Pretty basic 😅 but I like it lol

[broken flame]

I like the garage! That’s clever

[woven drift]

Thank you! I realized with the climbing wall facing backwards it looked better than looking for a panel design 😅

[lavish monolith]

@astral phoenix i wanna see :)

[woven drift]

Here’s my entrance

[astral phoenix]

@lavish monolith

PERFECT just the touch it needed

[lavish monolith]

Super cute!

[fringe heron]

Not sure what to put here or if I should connect this area to another cliff that's just below it. (well, next to it.)
[I can show it if people are curious about the cliff next to it]

[broken flame]

That’s what I did with my Valiant

[woven drift]

LF someone who lets me visit their island! I restarted my game and need some inspiration, Dm me code please : )

[austere sparrow]

Rustic Japanese forest island !! https://youtu.be/OS0e7a1C5Yo

[night osprey]

Hey anyone can help me for my campsite. Do anyone have good design

[woven drift]

Beachside views

[versed wadi]

@night osprey

[steep spruce]

That looks so nice 🤩

[night osprey]

@versed wadi ty. I love it

[fringe garden]

Extended the right side more. It’s rare to see my villagers visit this area so it was a treat to catch a photo of Fauna.

[sinful coral]

@fringe garden that’s beautiful oh my god

[fringe garden]

@sinful coral Ty! Fauna is a mood in the second photo she’s so cute.

[sinful coral]

@fringe garden hahah i love her. if only i had that much creativity like u.

[fringe garden]

@sinful coral I wish I was crreative I kid you not the right side of the bridge is completely bare excerpt with a three story hill cause a present flew by lol.

[atomic quest]

@fringe garden that's amazing. well done! you did a great job.

out of curiousity, how many slots do you use for all of your simple panels? asking in case i want to flatten my island and change to a european style island but every time i saw photos of them, it looks like they always use loads of custom panels

[sinful coral]

@fringe garden hahah really but still it looks so nice! keep updating us:)))!

[fringe garden]

@atomic quest for the cathedral it’s 2 custom panels and then the other buildings are three. But you could just use two different ones. I think if I got rid of the plain wide wooden window ones it wouldn’t be that noticeable.

[atomic quest]

oh thanks. that's not bad at all actually

[woven drift]

anybody got some inspiration for this little empty spot. I was going to put my house here but it's right next to the tailor shop so i'm at a lost isle is a tropical vibe

[fringe garden]

Maybe a spa or a surf shop

[sinful coral]

i love how it’s by the water maybe a little picnic area. but the spa or surf shop is a good idea also 🔼🔼

[fringe garden]

This isn’t mine but here’s something that would fit a tropical island. Maybe add different color boards to fit your color scheme.

[woven drift]

guess I'll wing it and make a Surfshop next to a beach picnic area - WOW thats nice ty for sharing that

[trim geode]

can u see anyones area where they have their villager’s houses

[placid matrix]

Dont know what to do with this little part any inspo or suggestions pls

[trim geode]

do a lil sushi restaurant

[dark laurel]

I just want toshare these images of my kimono stands exhibit that @woven drift designed. It turned out beautiful than I expected. If you don't know what to do with your empty space, you can dm her and she can help you! ✨

[swift pier]

anyone have any ideas what i can do with this area? already have a mini outdoor library and 2 picnic areas :/

[torpid cosmos]

@placid matrix what if you made like a little market??

[stoic pawn]

@swift pier you could do a little beekeeping area? they look good with almost all island themes

[swift pier]

i have a beekeeping area too lmao i’m at a loss

[fringe garden]

Maybe a statue garden with white flowers, or a small stargazing areas with nova lights and crescent chair

[grim stag]

i cant decide on which bamboo partition color looks better pls help 😂

[stark mulch]

@swift pier do you have like a tiki "bar" or like a beach side cafe type of thing? That might looks cute

[fringe garden]

@grim stag this is tough. But I prefer the green since it matches with the hay naturally, but the darker does go well with the board.

[swift pier]

i do have one on the beach, an ice cream shop too @stark mulch

[paper verge]

@grim stag I prefer the green one

[fringe heron]

I'm thinking of making a post office in my island but I'm unsure if I should use another player house to make it or if I should make the post office be outside.
🤔
can someone help me decide which one might be better?

[stoic pawn]

i think outside would be better

[cedar venture]

If it were up to me I'd put it outside

[craggy leaf]

I have this extra space in front of the villagers houses. Not sure how to decorate it. Any ideas?

[stark tulip]

Anybody have Cozy forest ideas or pics?

[woven drift]

hey guys, how did you get around the max 8 inclines restriction? I had to tear incline down that was leading to this little view point and dunno how to get around it

Which do you guys prefer spread out or close together

[coarse storm]

Not done yet. Still have shops to add to my Diagon Alley 🙂

[chilly furnace]

Can anyone help me figure out what I should put here

[woven drift]

Maybe a mushroom forest!!

[lavish monolith]

@craggy leaf if you dont have a playground, that might be a cool area

@woven drift ive had to scrap projects coz im maxed out on incline. Maybe just change your designs around.

[woven drift]

@lavish monolith at this point I am insisting on keeping everything the way it is, cause I'm sick of terraforming haha

[tulip valley]

@alpine raptor—swap some inclines for stairs. You can have 8 of each.

[stoic pawn]

i think stairs count as inclines?

[shut kindle]

any map layouts i can see?

[lavish monolith]

No. You can have 8 bridges and 8 inclines

[woven drift]

@tulip valley can't do that, it's the same in this game 😦

[soft sparrow]

hey everyone, so I’m restarting my island and I’ve come to a point of being to indecisive to choose which name I want for my island, so I’m just looking to see which one you guys think is the best out of these ones 😌

• Circhester
• Santalune

[stoic pawn]

santalune

[stark kayak]

I second the choice of santalune

[ionic wyvern]

I love the Pokemon references ^^

[smoky bone]

My new flea market with the museum in the background 💞

[woven drift]

Hello! I'm redoing my island and giving it a tropical/pirate cove theme. Does anyone have any island maps or areas that could help to give me some inspo? Thank you!

[graceful merlin]

@woven drift if your viewpoint area is near another area of the same height, you can jump/hop there

[woven drift]

@graceful merlin unfortunately not. I think I'll give it few days and something will come up -as usual haha

[bronze birch]

Anyone have any port designs they can share??

[fossil fern]

@bronze birch ok u can barely see it but I made a registration area and a cozy waiting room around my port

[placid wind]

Hiii I'm looking for some villager neighborhood inspiration!!

[carmine depot]

What colour street lamps and garden lamps would look good here?

[manic sigil]

What colour street lamps and garden lamps would look good here?
@carmine depot i think black would look good

[bronze birch]

@fossil fern a registration area, thanks that gave me an idea

[carmine depot]

Ok! I wasn’t sure as the bench is brown and there’s some other brown furniture behind the bench, but black usually fits in with anything. Thanks!

[manic sigil]

i really hate how this looks, can anyone help me?
i plan on adding a lily record player and some trash bags to the right side, but idk what else to do to make it better (other than to remove it entirely)

[sage sluice]

Waaaaaaa I need 3 star but I just got 2

[last prawn]

does anyone have the measurements for a 3 tier village?? like the one with the stairs in the middle and houses on the sides ? i lost it

[coral shale]

@last prawn

[last prawn]

thanks!!

[coral shale]

Np haha

[static dirge]

Heyyy

Oh my god this slow mode is ridiculous- just remembered why I stopped talking on this server 😳

[coral shale]

The struggle 😔

[carmine depot]

@manic sigil what type of theme are you going for? It looks cool so far and to me it feels like it would be a good place for like expanding the plaza for seating or even a small flea market! :)

[lament knot]

i really hate how this looks, can anyone help me?
i plan on adding a lily record player and some trash bags to the right side, but idk what else to do to make it better (other than to remove it entirely)
@manic sigil when I’m stuck like this I always try to add some height to my area! I think some cacao or cypress house plants would look good. I also try and keep my chairs and tables the same in one area to look more uniform but that’s just me 🙂 are you trying to go for a specific theme?

[lavish monolith]

@manic sigil try putting hedges or shrubs at the front just make sure you have an entry point. Maybe even behind the benches. Change the trash can to the silver one. And maybe add a tiny library. And some cypress or palm plants.

Just suggestions :)

[wooden ice]

Show me them rock gardens

[static dirge]

missing my old island 🥺

[carmine depot]

I’m sure you can achieve something just as beautiful on your new island!

[static dirge]

awwew tysm!

[carmine depot]

Np! Good luck with your new island!

[static dirge]

Appreciate it! Going for a fall natural theme this time

[stuck relic]

What should I put here that isn't a bench?

[balmy violet]

Ok so papi is living in my orchard that has a orange/white/black theme what black flower should I use?

[static dirge]

Ok so papi is living in my orchard that has a orange/white/black theme what black flower should I use?
@balmy violet I think lilies

[balmy violet]

@static dirge I'm using orange lilies, maybe using black cosmos but thank you! If it doesn't look good I'll use only lilies lol

[static dirge]

OH that changes things, black roses or black tulips would look nice with orange lilies

[coral shale]

Yeah black cosmos could go because they have orange in the middle..?

[balmy violet]

Wow. I love this server y'all are so much more helpful than "Nookazon"s island showcase haha

[stoic pawn]

tru

[static dirge]

Haha, the people here are really nice but I’m not fond of the way it’s run

[coral shale]

Aww ❤️

[woven drift]

anyone have some cool waterfall ideas

[fringe heron]

I finally feel satisfied with Plucky's house. I tried my best to replicate her original look for her exterior. But now I have enough space for more beach stuff, I might be able to put a Tiki Bar next to a big empty spot on the beach. Yes!!!

[wooden ice]

What do you think will look better for outside Raymond’s house: gray rattan or black rattan

[tired arch]

i havent decorated plucky cause i want her out JHNFHJASNFKJSKJFKK but thats adorable

[woven drift]

black rattan

[static dirge]

whoever did this I love you

[tired arch]

omg bye stealing

[wooden ice]

Yeah I think the green on the gray set will be too much

[fringe heron]

Thank you! :)
I really love this chicken, hahaha. Plus, she has an attitude and I guess I like villagers who are just sassy towards me.

Still nice to look back on it tho

[manic sigil]

are you trying to go for a specific theme?
@lament knot not really a specific theme, but more of an idea. as so few people live on an island i wanted it to looks like its still a public seating area, but everyone knows each other so its also homey. im not sure how to do that tho

[woven drift]

My island layout so far (4 star island)

oh thats neat

Yum I do love my symmetry

[coral shale]

YeSssS

Cute

[coral shale]

Yeahhh I’ll give it a go..

[static dirge]

Or maybe even a lighthouse or two 👀

I’m probably gonna do something like this

If I can 🦋😭

[woven drift]

I would do a stonehedge in the middle

[coral shale]

[static dirge]

So it’s like ppl sit on the rocks idk

[stoic pawn]

thats so cute!!

[opal current]

Hihi I’ve been looking to terraform my island for quite some time but never got around to it until now. I decided to start with my villagers’ houses (which are currently scattered all around the island without any pattern whatsoever), and I’m looking for advice on decorating the villager house’s area. I know you place fencing around the area and stuff, but is there a certain amount of space that is best? (Looking for preferably a radius eg 3x5) I’d like to plan a bit before dumping everything there and wasting bells. Thanks!

[stoic pawn]

these are some yard sizes and examples from the pins that might help you!

[opal current]

Ok, tysm!!

[tropic helm]

I am working on my crescent moon island. Any advice ?

[stoic pawn]

some more flowers!

[tropic helm]

Will do ! I am a bit afraid of putting too many flowers haha

[manic sigil]

you can mix it up with some bird baths and rocks, as well as the flowers

[tropic helm]

Will do ! Thank you two for your advices !

[torn wagon]

Hey everyone, if you are looking for inspiration for a natural themed island my gates are open now for free exploration. Please be nice and respectful to the environment! (NH, mid day, no time travel) DM me for the code 🏝️

[dawn cave]

[sullen sable]

[autumn parrot]

Yall help me out, ive had this huge flower field right bt my entrance but ive been thinking of digging it iut and making a flower surrounded plaza instead.. good idea?

[clever flicker]

[wraith matrix]

Anyone have any bee farm/lavender farm inspos?

[swift palm]

Me seeing many people have a diving incline like "yall got 1 Incline to spare?" Lol

[analog nova]

finally got around to Determined Terraforming, how does this layout look?? campsite will probably be by the bunny lake (yes, bunny shaped lake) & will have a flower field near the orchard or lake probably. not sure about the middle bit yet though. my island is a pastel cottagecore theme

[woven drift]

@swift palm same

[lone delta]

Anyone got a glamping camp site inspiration?

Entrance

[woven drift]

Thanks @deep zephyr

i love to decorate with loose items and wanted to create an area which matches my wetsuit. so i came up with this sort of ... i don’t know?! but i kinda like it a lot! 💫
and i finished my harbor for redd. ♥️

[true acorn]

Those are really cool!

[woven drift]

thanks!! 🌞

[round swallow]

where do you guys get the inspiration 😫 i have like my enterance which is a bit terraformed and decorated and thats literally it lol

because terraforming is such a drag and takes aaaages haha

[latent swan]

Need opinion! Which “wall” do you guys think would be better for my outdoor arcade? Black or blue? Leaning more towards the black because of its contrast, but still on the fence

[true acorn]

My island is trash and i have literally no ideas but its kinda under construction now

Black

[winter arch]

I'm trying to get my rocks together but they're not playing ball. Each time I destroy a circled rock and cover where it was, it just disappears and doesn't relocate to the empty spots. Nowhere to be found. If i then uncover the spot it was in, it reappears there. Any ideas why? The yellow line is where the map grid line runs

[latent shell]

@faint path amazingggg!!! 😍😍😍

[manic sigil]

@winter arch try asking in #game-help-questions❓

Oh oh. Bob arrived on my Island today but his house totaly mis matches my Island! Can I cover this up?

[latent shell]

@lone delta I made mine into an art camp hehe.

[eternal stream]

What the heck do I do here? I'm stuck!

[lone delta]

@latent shell that looks so good! 😍 where’s you’re campsite though?

[latent shell]

@lone delta it’s in the left corner HAHAH! I actually hid it behind a cliff so I need to fix it 😭😭

[eternal laurel]

Can this work to arround the market area the custom path instead off hedges because it is more natural in this area?

[atomic quest]

@latent shell i just saw your posts on twitter! love all of your pics omg 🥺

[tranquil carbon]

What do y’all think of Fruity Pebble Lake?

[frozen canyon]

Does anybody have a model beetle layout in their island i want some inspo so bad

[dreamy mango]

Ok this is about to be super specific. Has anyone seen the design where it’s outside lucky’s house and it’s supposed to be inspired by the haunted mansion from disney? I’m looking for it but I can’t find it :(

[atomic quest]

@dreamy mango https://twitter.com/capuchinokappu/status/1257047730855112705/photo/3 not this one is it?

[woven drift]

How do you guys feel for this as an entrance 🥺 🥺 🥰

[coral shale]

Very cute! But it could do with a pop of colour with a few flowers.. @woven drift

Or maybe a bush or two to replace some of the hedge

[dreamy mango]

@dreamy mango https://twitter.com/capuchinokappu/status/1257047730855112705/photo/3 not this one is it?

I made a natural park for an entrance!!

[coral shale]

Great! You could use red to contrast the greens, or you could use blues and purples to harmonise and match the floor lights you have at the front! @woven drift but ofc play around w the colours and find what suits you!❤️

[woven drift]

@coral shale Awww thank you very much for your help 🥺 🥺 🥰

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone have any ideas on what I can do for this area of land? It’s sandwiched between the museum and the beach and I have no idea what to do.

[muted trellis]

@woven drift do a celeste exhibit!

[woven drift]

@muted trellis ooh what exactly do you mean by a celeste exhibit?

[muted trellis]

@woven drift like the lunar rover and rocket and space suit. stuff that would be in a space exhibit. ^-^

[woven drift]

@muted trellis ohhh okay tysm i’ll try getting some celeste stuff and do that!!

[muted trellis]

@woven drift Goodluck!

[quiet meteor]

is there a way to know exactly where to place villager's houses so that they're aligned perfectly? like i wanna make a square with 4 villagers' houses but one is a bit higher up than the one across it and the other is a bit farther apart than the one above it so how can i have it be accurate if there's a way?

[woven drift]

@muted trellis Ty!!

[muted trellis]

@quiet meteor I use pathing to make a straight line so I can tell if they are in a row. you can also dig holes with a shovel to tell.

@muted trellis could u elaborate more on the holes?

[muted trellis]

@muted trellis could u elaborate more on the holes?
@quiet meteor use the shovel to dig holes in a straight line. each hole is 1 square. its also an easy way to measure space, like if you want a yard that is 7x7 you dig 7 holes across and 7 vertical. then you place the house along the holes so you know exactly where in the yard the house is going to be. hope that helps.

[amber moon]

I made this my star gazing rest area last Saturday lol

@heady surge maybe a little shop area

[woven drift]

@heady surge is it near your airport? You could do a waiting/boarding area with some cool seats and a small cafe for while they are waiting for their flights.

[amber moon]

Here’s an example of a little shop area

[heady surge]

Yeah, that's what my garbage annotations are trying to show 😅 but a little waiting cafe sounds like it would work 😮

[woven drift]

@heady surge show us what you come up with when you’re done 🙂

@gloomy thistle have you tried putting a simple panel or a backwards climbing wall behind the gap in the middle of the top floor?

Campsites 🏕 are a fun project! Mine is autumn themed

@amber moon your entire island looks so stinking cute though ;u;

🥰 tysm! I had it very “commercialized” at first, then I redid the entire thing and opened it up. I’m so thankful I did it!

Here’s my map

Their homes are spread out randomly with fun items outside each one

Sorry about the quality! But what can I do to make it go into the resident services cleaner but still look nice? I’m thinking where the flowers are to have a bus stop. But what should I do on the other side. Open to any suggestions!

I will also be moving shops! :)

@carmine depot Is your island a cottage core theme? You should try using the path

First, at the beginning - the mountain is cut off and is really annoying me, second, at the end- since you have some trees on the empty side, have logs or trees, it will be quite nice. And will fit with the flowers!

Bus stop is a cute idea! @carmine depot maybe a cafe or bake shop on the other side?

@naive meadow do you think I should extend the cliff where the black line is? :)

[naive meadow]

Yes do!
