@limber ginkgo there is no way my eyes deceived me unless I was that eager to play animal crossing but he had a Raymond card didn’t see the color of the wrapper since it was gone and he was no older than 9
Raymond doesn’t have an amiibo lol
Yeah I was an avatar inspired map you can prob find easily on YouTube
@foggy pine You could put an Avatar kind of theme to it (looking at your pfp). Theres this moon temple that I saw someone made that looks a lot like a shrine for Yue. Personally, I go for more elemental looks and then just keep adding and adjusting stuff until I like how it looks
Ooo, thanks for the idea!
(I LOVE Avatar, so it would be a good idea)
@native latch A tiny cafe would be great! You could get some stalls and design them using custom designs for diferent food options and add some tables for an outdoor cafe kind of look
Mothra the cards?
The 8 introduced in new horizons like Judy and Raymond don’t have amiibo
@foggy pine https://old.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/g58p2q/my_moon_temple_is_a_place_of_peace/
This is the moon temple I saw. Its super cute and would fit a shrine for Yue well if you wanted to do something like that. Also the moon appearing while crossing the bridge is chef's kiss
Thanks! 
Oh damn then I must’ve been seeing things at work or maybe it was someone similar to Raymond then like lolly but doesn’t lolly only have red backgrounds in her cards?
anybody else totally want to restart their islands again 
yes please- ;-;
I reset my island 3 times after starting for a while, and then gave up and reset 20+ times until I got my resident services symmetrical lmaoo
the only thing i've ever finished was my entrance, and i'm not liking it too much right now
Lifted bamboo exhibit for my museum or no? Sorry for the change in lighting I passed out lmao
I like how the lifted one looks but I hate how it obstructs the view of the pirate exhibit a bit
my town hall is 6 blocks away from my airport and isnt even symmetrical ;-;
I think my entrance is nice, but i cant connect the rest of my town to it
@woven drift I have the same issue mine is 7 away I’ll send you pics in a little since they’re on my computer and I’m on my phone waiting for my car to warm (cool down) up lmao
@limber ginkgo Im more of a fan of the same level bamboo exhibit personally. Though, if you added more waterfalls to the lifted one, it might look better
Also, I like it how its stone arch then 2 then 3 terracotta soldiers better. It gives them a bit more visibiliy
@limber ginkgo I like the first exhibit but you can prob add some floor lights or lights to make it more bright and maybe a garden bench
@woven drift mine is super close too and I finally am content with how I “hid” RS
I have so many big gabs on my island and i don't know what to build to fill it bruh
Somebody help haha ;-;
HMM
I might shift the bamboo back and pull the pirate stuff forward, because I'm risking cute villager pics if they interact with the pirate stuff
anybody know where i can use a website or find someone to combine 2 designs for me ?
Define combine lol
okayy (: its hard to make an entrance though-
Been working on my entrance all day!
Yeah entrances are hard. I still need to make mine. I made the rest of the island pretty nice, but idk what to do for my entrance yet
Does anyone have some pictures of what they did with the mermaid set outside? I have no inspiration
Campsite and private Beach 👁👄👁
Any inspo for redd's area? I did some stuff but not really happy
I’m making a tiki vacation bar with a karaoke stage for my future super star Audie and it feels like it’s missing something and I’m not a huge fan of how I have the karaoke part set up, any suggestions on how I can make it better? (Yes I know I’m missing 2 simple panels😋)
Oo can what's the simple panel code? And the code on the sand?
how did u guys decorate ur able sisters
Has anyone done like a black market/ bounty area? Got any inspo?
um 😳
@old tree
Oh thanks a bunch!!
No problem!
Omg now I have a reason to buy that simple panel at nooks
just finished my outdoor library :D
@woven drift the pink look nice
ohhh thank you so much :D
Bus stop area is done 
What 1x1 can I put in one of these river islands that would fit in with the other two?
the hacked trees look so nice
another tower of Pisa?
@limber ginkgo valiant , gallant, great, beautiful statues (not sure if all are 1x1) or another pisa
thinking about building a library cafe combo on this 9x12 space but idk where to start lol
I have my statues in a different area so I'll probably go with another Pisa, just looked at Gulliver's stuff
@steel drum seems a bit too small for a cafe AND a library
welp time to make it w i d e r
@steel drum I think line one of the back corners with bookshelves, and the other corner should be the counter
the more cramped an area is the better imo, if u have too much open space it looks awkward and flat
Use log chairs and benches, fireplaces and bookshelves ☺️
This seating would look nice and would fit in but you can't sit in it 
lmao i hope i have these crafting recipes
How did you decorate BOB’s yard?
unless ur trapped
@limber ginkgo it would look better if u backed it up and @sweet anchor put hammocks and snacks and couches
yes, dark stuff would look really nice! i also recommend the sepia globe to match the brown scheme for ur library
@tropic vapor I didn’t even think of snacks 😂
bobby need his snacky
If Bob talks about bug friends (I don't have him but he's lazy so he probably does) maybe a bug statue from Flick
haha his bug friends they do be givin him good advice doe
Seats aren't meant for sitting on in this game.
u gotta make sitting sacrifices for ur island to be beautiful 😔 👊
Villagers always decide to sit 3 feet away from an empty seat anyway
Anyone have a library? I wanna do one but I dont really know what to do
I am so sorry about the poor quality but does anyone have any ideas what I could do for Bunnies exterior?
I put a Library outside my museum and in my school
@old tree this is what I did with my library!
What do your guys maps look like? I’m wondering how people balanced the different levels
@polar fjord i recommend using iron bridges and inclines (the blue one) because it would match the blue/purple space scheme. maybe try and find a star pattern u can plant around ur island as a little touch of detail!
A before and after. What do you guys think ?
i finished my museum area with my ocean cafe but i dont know what i can add on this small sand area. i placed a table and stools there but i don‘t liked it
some ideas what i can put here?
@steep wind I know these aren't bunnies house but maybe you can get some ideas from it :)
in case anyone needed some diner inspiration, here's mine! i might add something else with the sakura trees in the back because it's a bit too repetitive 
Does anyone have any inspo on the exterior design of Bob’s house
also an arcade and drive-in theater idea i got from someone elses island hehe
I am so sorry about the poor quality but does anyone have any ideas what I could do for Bunnies exterior?
@nikki.amethyst#0424 I know these aren't Bunnie's house but maybe you can get some ideas off it :) (not my pics, but the aethetic looks similar to what you already have going on)
which bridge would look best here? the suspension bridge or the brown one that's most expensive
Definitley Brown one
started an outdoor mermaid room, need to collect more giant clams and get more diys from pascal 
brown one, it matches the red hue of ur bricks :)
ok tysm
woa u broke the game
woa u broke the game
@tropic vapor 🤧
are there even clouds in the game i couldn’t tell you
I EXITED OUT OF THE GAME WHILE I WAS TERRAFORMINGGG
are there even clouds in the game i couldn’t tell you
@tropic vapor i edited the picture of course, but i love it
ik it look cool
Anyone have any ideas as to how I could make my entrance look more cottagecore and more entrance-like?
@loud cloud to make it cottage core try making it a windy road and maybe a more natural type of stone or a dirt design
Anyone have any ideas as to how I could make my entrance look more cottagecore and more entrance-like?
@loud cloud It looks kinda stiff and strict, Maybe try placing the flowers and trees in random spots and more spread out to balance in a little nature
Suggestions - left or right? The left is there is an opening with the fences on all sides, the one on the right is just 2 openings on two sides
i like the right, it gives each patch of flowers its own little spotlight
campside area
@austere owl yeah I was getting that feel too. So don't kine the path with the flowers then?
Thank you guys!
I tried doing some entrance themes with waterfalls but nothing looked how I wanted ;-;
Maybe make the path a little more organic? Shape wise?
Ah good idea
h
This is my current entrance but I’m not really liking it too much - I’m aiming for a super pastel pink and blue island so if anyone has any other suggestions or inspo pls lmk! ^^
working on my camp area
I kinda miss the stump in ACPC where you could put honey in it, I wanted it as deco to make it look like a little cauldron of honey...
Hey anybody have any ideas for a beach boardwalk I'm kinda hitting a block
Bookstore or library so far
Can anyone show me the layouts for a villager neighborhood
anybody have ideas for a blank space?
@austere owl what if u put a little pot with a beekeepers hive next to it?
I’m not as far along as you guy are, but I started making a new area for my museum today on an island in the center and my “villager neighborhood” is coming along too. Slow but steady.
small shell beach
:0 @coral swan you might have just done something, I gotta get beekeepers hive
The bottom corner is my villager neighbourhood, I wanted it more natural @mortal scroll
Can I see some of your maps? Just got terraforming and don't really know how to split it up
That's what I did with my villigers put in a corner and made a little village
What should i do for my museum entrance?
for blank space
@old tree I just got to terraforming a week ago it’s a lot
i made a maze in front of my museum
Anyone have a pirate ship? I destroyed like half my entrance last night to make one but i realize i don't know what to do next
Eeek, my layout. 😬
can someone send in some asian themed islands or foresty looking islands designs 
The fact you have all wolves and dogs @kindred thistle, I JUST SEEN THE TOWN NAME LMAOAOAO
can someone give me inspiration for my island entrance?
I made a little maze with creepy dolls and a welcome sign
is your entrance far from your town hall or no?
yes it is!
I'm envious 
Sorry about the darkness but does anyone have any more ideas about what I can do with the honey area? Looking for something to put in the top left corner 🙂
@steep wind maybe some of these pots, and a teddy bear with a red shirt to be winnie the pooh!
@steep wind get a wasp and honeybee model maybe?
Anyone have a farmers market or something like that they wanna show off? 🙂
@median nova I love that idea! And @desert shore I love the thought of the bee model ☺️
need to fix the other side to cover up the grass and it’s obviously still not fully decorated, but i love how the pool turned out!
Can someone please share their villager neighborhood?
@shrewd condor do you want just the map view of it?
@echo sparrow thats such a clever use of the elephant slide
💕
@steep wind yes please!
which layout should i go with?
@shrewd condor hopefully this is helpful, personally I use a modified version of 2 ♡
@real pumice this was my market that i just tore down (you don't see those benches)
how did u get those green benches
that look so cool!!
I love it thank you!
Theyre hacked, I traded for them
they should be an actual furniture item
@north veldt it’s mostly personal preference but I would choose C or B because of the residential services spot ♡
With the houses, I tend to pair them up with other villagers with similar interests or house exteriors, so I have Erik and Beau together, and Dobie and Raymond together as well 🙂
@steep wind you could do a diy workbench, pots, or one of those artisan bug cages
that’s a good idea!
I agree! I like that they don't have a back, i feel like I can put them anywhere @bitter inlet
@dusky tapir alrighty tysm! those are what i was leaning towards
Hello! Could someone give me some inspiration for an entrance? I just unlocked terraforming. You can dm me or send it here!! Thank you!
My map I'm trying to do a nature themed island
what do y’all do with extra flowers? i got so much from breeding and have been selling them to nook but i feel like i’m gonna need them
ok take two of trying to attach a photo from my computer. What should I add here? I wanna make an elaborate place. I already have a cafe, fossil area, library, stargazing area, arcade, boardwalk/park, and mushroom forest. What else could I do?
@steep wind omg I’m planning to do moon island like you have there but I’m so nervous it will look trashy. Did you just wing it or did you measure things out?
@tropic vapor keep several of my hybrids in groups and buy seeds of the non hybrids!
any white libraries?
@dusky tapir I saw an image somewhere of a similar lake and just went by eye, it was a little difficult but if you need specifics I can help 🙂

I'm needing ideas on how to make my island more detailed
anybody with an urban theme want to show off their entrance? (:
@steep wind like how your map looks
@steep wind ah ok cool! Yours looks really good, I was just curious of your method 💖
Hello! Could someone give me some inspiration for an entrance? I just unlocked terraforming. You can dm me or send it here!! Thank you!
Does anyone have a park in front of their resident services that I could see?
I just wanted to show off my entrance to my shopping area :3
hi everyone~ my resident services is extremely close to my airport (like EXTREMELY) and i have no clue what to do for my entrance because i have like no room :(( any ideas?
@final kiln i love the nature theme! it’s amazing : )
hey guys! 🥰 I know this might be pretty hard but does anyone have a sci-fi themed part of their island? Im currently losing my mind 
Thank you :3 @woven drift
@final kiln no prob < 3
Does anyone have a city themed island I can visit for inspiration? 🥺
And Coco's house :3
@final kiln it’s too cute 
@young birch here's mine, maby it could help you out a bit :)
@woven drift You can do so many Things! I've seen many great entrances with a close RS but the best way to work around it I've seen is to make the entrance do a turn like this one! https://twitter.com/h0wvery/status/1268500389109751808?s=19
my rs is so close to my airport but im starting to make it work #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/XLbGLIpp0J

@soft plaza thank you so much!
@grave lagoon no wayyyy i love ur island its amazingly beautiful!!!!<3
This how my map looks so far😳
BRUH LMAOAOSOO

@nova slate it's not really a yard but it's Dobie's farm xd
@young birch try searching "in:island-layouts has:image entrance" to see entrances that people have posted in the past!
Been messing about deciding on my rock garden today. The holes are the sites for the future rocks. Any thoughts before I commit to this design?
Anyone have ideas for secret beach? Id really appreciate some inspo 😊
@storm bluff has a beautiful island too and villagers yards are amazing 🥺 @nova slate
put some palm trees close to each other to hide the beach a bit :)
I made my secret beach a pirate port!

Any inspo for tropical entrances?
I don’t have any bookcases so I made do with what I had ^^ any tips on how I could make it better?
@rapid pivot it's cute, maybe a stack of books on a table? I always think they look good in libraries
I’ve completely flattened my island and I need help! I have 2 river mouths in the south and completely stuck on how to make my rivers look natural. Can anyone send me their map on here or on DM so I can get some inspiration x
@rapid pivot it's cute, maybe a stack of books on a table? I always think they look good in libraries
@magic wedge i dont have any books unfortunately (hence the lack of bookcases) but if i get some, thats a good idea!
@mortal scroll
Thank you
My forest 🌳 ✨
I've made a smooth river island
nice trees 
@rapid pivot there's the non DIY item Stack of books?
@magic wedge ah well i dont have those either
How do you make an island layout look good I get so jealous seeing peoples layouts working.. :(
The beginnings of what will soon be a castle. Though Imma need to wait a while because I have 4 inclines to build and that’s gonna include demolishing a few.
Hey! Can Someone dm me and help me to plan my island? I just unlocked terraforming and I don't know how to pit the houses and the shops, any help world be' really appreciated :)

@dusky tapir jocks just need a gym. That’s it there too simple
Guys I just unlocked terraforming and I need some help to move the houses cause Idk where to put them, can someone dm me to help me?

@dusky tapirthis is what I did for Dom, they have similar exteriors

Thanks y’all! Also that looks really good @limber ginkgo !!
The cliffs above my town entrance! thought id share!

Update on my ballonlea inspired shopping district: I have made a river and am working on placing bridges. I'm gonna move the houses and shops onto the beaches for now so I can work on landscape. I'm SO excited!

@indigo ravine that looks so GOOD!
@indigo ravine that looks so GOOD!
@marsh heron not mine😂 just inspo picks. I plan on making it look just as good tho...
Ohhh
what do yall think make the game lag more? furniture or flowers?
@river cypress my problem with a full fossilis that it’d be on its side so no one could see.. but i’m interested in the art auction how’d u imagine that being
The Ruins are calling
Furniture
The Ruins are calling
@faint path Sweet MOTHER of Arceus!
👀 just finished my forest area
nice tree 👀
haha tree go hack
@indigo ravine 
👀

@tropic vapor I made molly an art gallery maybe a podium a microphone the panting in the middle a bunch of chairs
@faint path Incredible!
hi im sure a lot of people know this by now, but anyone looking for a more nature-y feel to the island,, there is a fossil called the Myllokunmingia that looks like this and it’s amazing for decorating!! i used it everywhere in my magic forest and it really added that extra detail : )
@river cypress molly is v cultured
Tysm!
@solar badger so pretty 🤩
Thanks :3
@woven drift could that be subbed with garden rocks
@faint path this area at night 👁️👄👁️ would be very scary looking
Nah myllo looks better from every angle, garden rock is kinda square shaped imo
Nah myllo looks better from every angle, garden rock is kinda square shaped imo
@slender scarab what about the mossy garden rock?
Mossy garden rock is ugly imo
But it could b argued myllo is just a circle rock LOL
and eh
I'm not a fan of the mossy's "skirt", regret wasting stones on it 😭
@river cypress that’s the goal haha
Tall garden rock is rlly nice tho
whatever suits your fancy guys
anything like that adds so much depth to anything!
That would look great in my ballonlea inspired area tho@limber ginkgo
@river cypress that’s the goal haha
@faint path my forest is like “Disney” themed
uuu my entrance!!
@woven drift I didn't know about it before so I appreciate the tip!
Flat garden rock is also decent but w/e
Mossy, overgrown. Great for a mysterious forest.
@limber ginkgo no prob at all! they are quite common in my experience too : )
@indigo ravine I can give it to you if you want it
@limber ginkgo I got the diy. No worries
this community is so wholesome I love it
i know right 🥺
If anyone has any spare mushroom lamps tho. Imma need a TON for my area.
I think island layout and fruit produce have the nicest people in my experience
im having trouble with what theme i want to call my island /// its not exactly fairycore but its very pink xd
yess defo! i’ve never met someone who is rude on this chat just yet :))
the problem w those kinds of islands is that they only show their full potential at a certain time
@slender scarab yesss I love chatting here because people are so nice and always give great tips and inspo fr
@slender scarab yesss I love chatting here because people are so nice and always give great tips and inspo fr
@dusky tapir preach. My island has improved tremendously due to discord. Better villagers and better island

@slender scarab just unlocked terraforming and all that jazz so that’s really gonna help now i can do more! tysm 🌸
:D can’t wait 2 see what u create !!

sorry for the crappy quality but this is my entrance right now, i’m thinking about getting rid of it
Hi everyone! Anyone have any ideas for what to make/place on a mini island? I've created a mini island between all my rivers...not sure what to put there aside from the basic area with trees/benches
I cant wait to give you guys more updates on my ballonlea area. I'm so excited for what I have planned. Put nooks cranny on the bottom layer, the flower shop, able sisters, and library on the 2nd layer in a curved shape, the hotel as the "gym" and the resturant as the building off to the side!
a pvp area >: D
Picnic areas are always a cute idea! @analog basin
Make a nice garden or something natural with a bit of your personal touch @analog basin
im gonna go now guys it’s real late in my time zone lol,, hope everyone had a great rest of the day / night and thanks for all the help 
Who here has played pokemon swsh?
my pvp area
I was gonna make sherb a sherbs sherbet but someone already took that name :((
Also, I'm gonna be putting a custom design down that looks like bede. Right outside the gym. Cuz...
Bede
@analog basin nova lights, garden lanterns, paper lanterns, street lamps, bamboo
@indigo ravine I have! I’ve played so many Pokémon games, my island is name Castelia after Castelia city from Pokémon black and white
Should I make bluebears beach a surf shop!
@hard moat my entrance looks similar!
@indigo ravine I have! I’ve played so many Pokémon game, my island is name Castelia after Castelia city from Pokémon black and white
@dusky tapir I love that. I saw a ballonlea inspired house and thought it would be perfect for my shopping district cuz there is multiple homes.
@river cypress idk much about Bluebear but he reminds me of a blueberry jelly bean...
@hard moat my entrance looks similar!
@analog basin I have that exact same "the path" woah
This was my girl audies shop but she left :((( it isn’t so empty now lol
@analog basin could u share the code for that grass. So cool!
@analog basin I like it! i just don’t like how there’s no space by my entrance for like trades and stuff, even though i don’t have much people over
SAD. I adore audie. Earlier today her and lucky were talking about snacks. Lucky talked about deserts, while she talked about salads and fancy foods. Soo cute to see the difference between personality types in their conversations.
@indigo ravine i wish we could rename our islands if so i would’ve named mine sootopolis and based it off the city cuz i rly like it and i didn’t know what to do when i started
It's ~the~ path lol here's the CC @vestal lily which grass? i just have this pathing :)
Audie sounds like that chick who’d play w so many ppls hearts and b a Cabaret lead singer
@indigo ravine i wish we could rename our islands if so i would’ve named mine sootopolis and bad it off the city cuz i rly like it and i didn’t know what to do when i started
@tropic vapor ikr. My first acnh (and first ac) island ever I wanted to name "Heart Island" but I pressed plus instead of y, so Heart it was. The name grew on me. And now Heart 2.0 is a place welcome to all!
inspired by kyotoland.island on ig <3
@gleaming kelp the memeries ahhh
K. Time to get back to work. I'll update yall the next time smnt amazing happens

@gleaming kelp the little super hero haha I don’t Remeber his or her name
Astro boy I think? @river cypress
Yes!
@hard moat this is the other side of the entrance! i don’t have people over on my island often but i felt like it was a good way to take up space. but i do think of removing it sometimes
yas queen slay!! @gleaming kelp
The illuminated items look bad during the day 😖
My island view 
The illuminated items look bad during the day 😖
@sharp stump they look like unpainted figures
My island view
@mystic minnow is the river hacked? 😮 never seen that before
drowned items
@sharp stump yeah it’s hacked😳
items that can drown
Hey can someone with a amazing island come and help me make my island great and give some tips and all that that would be great 🙂
Didn’t know that was a thing, so pretty tho.
does that mean u can put a fish in a river and it’ll drown
okay I think I don't have to move it a 4th time
@sharp stump they look like unpainted figures
@limber ginkgo paper mache to be exact
Update: wow moving homes takes forever! Only 4 more to go!
I’m having flashbacks to a post I saw on twitter where their island was just filled w those fkin statues
maple’s front yard 🍂
I’m having flashbacks to a post I saw on twitter where their island was just filled w those fkin statues
@slender scarab like this?

Can I get help pls
Does anyone have any good city like entryways I’m having trouble of what items to put!
@rotund ferry that looks really cozy
@woven drift what sort of thing do you need help with :0
that's amazing! island goal

@mystic minnow damn how you get the river looking like that
I just want someone to come help me design and give tips on how to make my island great
Hey guys! I made an orchard (orchid?) criticism is welcome :3 (designs on canvas r not mine! Creds to the awesome artist :> )
yeah it’s hacked😳
@mystic minnow
@shannon.acnh#9222
any idea how i can make ankha's yard better pls
@torpid aurora I have a hacked switch so I was able to put items there 
@atomic quest space it out a bit
And add more gold flowers on the side
Nova lights should b helpful
Some tips I have are: layering short to tall items gives a lot of depth, rounded corners on cliffs looks real rad, broken up rivers and waterfalls also looks rad, and check out island tours on YouTube or here for inspo!!! Here’s one of my newest areas for an example
Nintendo let us place paths on rounded edges please 
@mystic minnow oh okay thanku
Can someone come to my island and give tips on how I can make my island better and designing g shops and stuff and where to put things such as custom paths flowers and furniture
ok ty
Dude my map looks atrocious rn lmaoooo
@woven drift try #mysterybags-and-yardsales , ppl usually let others in to get inspo
Made this area specifically for musical chairs which is why there’s a lot of log stools. Any ideas on how to make it look better.
Patterns in circles
But I need Acualy one one help 😫 it’s the only way I can presses info cuz if I do take inspiration I end up taking the entire idea but by bit
Which pansies look the best with the house? Red is the villager’s favorite color but the yellow matches the roof, I’m open to other ideas as well!
@livid shadow
The middle
@dusky tapir why not all three? (:
@slender scarab ty
@dusky tapir since the orange pansies have yellow and red instead of actual orange I think they’d be nice!! Or a mixture like @stuck trail said :0
@livid shadow bug statues, nova lamps or reversed star clocks?
@dusky tapir whose house is that?
Ooo thanks y’all! It’s Mac’s @atomic quest
Canberra’s (?) @atomic quest
How do you stunt the growth of trees? 😦 trying to do a force perspective but my tees grew. Beside my sapling tree is a dog house, pocket camp car and road. Beside my cedar tree are bushes, road and sand
@sharp stump I believe you need to plant another sapling next to it at the point you want it to stop growing
@sharp stump specifically a fruit tree sapling I believe
@sharp stump I believe you need to plant another sapling next to it at the point you want it to stop growing
@limber ginkgo would you know if I have to keep the second plant there to stop the growth of the actual tree I want, or can I remove it soon after it stops?:(
I need help and feed back can someone with great taste help me make a great island cuz I know jack nothing about how custom paths go together and where to put fencing and flowers But I need Acualy one one help 😫 it’s the only way I can presses info cuz if I do take inspiration I end up taking the entire idea but by bit
Just dm me pls
@sharp stump it will have to stay there forever ): but depending on how big the stunted tree is, it probably won't be too noticeable
I'm going to move the tree/statue area to the lower area of my museum, and the pirate stuff to the walkway since I can put the cannon where the tree is to have it pointed outside the island
@sharp stump it will have to stay there forever ): but depending on how big the stunted tree is, it probably won't be too noticeable
@bratty.alani#4253 oh I see, I think I can make it work with my cedar. I’ll just figure it out. Thank you!
I always get good ideas right before I have to leave for work

I just drop the needed items (or the primary items) and give them the spacing the item needs
Need some path ideas for this spot! Going to put a photobooth, suitcase, some other miscellaneous items on the area :)
I would actually do floor lights instead of patterns
Can someone tell me what items are in here?
@slender scarab that sounds like a good idea, but all floor lights? idk if that would go well
Can someone tell me what items are in here?
@lean light these are the ones that i know: pool, whirlpool bath, poolside bed, zen cushion, stack of zen cushions, shell lamp, fan palm, hope this helps ! 😊
I didn’t say all the floor lights, just some colors that go together w the set
@slender scarab could you elaborate a bit? like, in which sort've areas?
oh and a glass holder with candle i think
@rotund ferry thank you!!
np !
idk the entrance?
@slender scarab what 👁👄👁
@slender scarab like.. the sides of where you'd walk into it i guess?
Finally moved all the houses out. Time to terraform. Does anyone know the dimensions of nooks cranny, able sisters, and island homes?
@indigo ravine island homes would depend on which villagers you have.
Talking about switch user homes
.t sizes @indigo ravine

Hey guys so far this is my asteroid crash site if you have any advice on how I could make the actual “asteroid” better I could really use the help
Any ideas for these 3x4 areas in front of my plaza? I could just do flowers but I’m not sure
a top perspective and I can't get my character out so he's just there lol
I'm thinking about making a internet/gaming cafe on my island. Anyone seen any good inspiration for the idea?
There are two players working on our island, but only one has the ability to change infrastructure. Is that how it goes? Only the first player can build bridges or move residents?
@tender cradle I haven’t seen any but I think the closest thing is an arcade. Just change it up a bit and ez cafe
Does anybody how to make this waterfall? I try to do it myself but i fail 😦
@native latch that's adorable! I am starting to work on my orchard also. I'm trying to incorporate a fruit stand or something too..
@blazing jungle make a 3x3 plot of land in a river, round the edges except for one, and put water holes in the non-rounded corner
O wait round all the edges and I think that should work
Was it just me or I didn’t realize in the new update you can put paths under the houses on the beach?
I remeber i tried to make a beach house but the deck wouldn’t fit near the little stairs
Here is my island layout progress so far 🙂 https://twitter.com/FawnX0/status/1282443068818329601

who likes my auction area by my museum :3 also should i use public benches or lecture hall benches (i didn’t rn cuz i’d have to wait a day for shipping)
@tropic vapor did I give you this inspo Lolol
maybe 👀
@limpid aspen ty!!!
I’ve noticed some of my signs have been replaced, wonder who it is.....
I would put the panting to the right and the podium to the left @tropic vapor and a microphone near the podium

@sand harness heres a cute little bee/lavender farm I did today !
hiii can anyone help design a map layout
seeing pst work would be coolio as well, i can pay nmt!!
@tropic vapor wedding benches or chairs would look good
what kind of chairs (i’m not gonna go wedding benches cuz i don’t have any and i don’t want that kinda thing for an auction)
what have other people done for a flower garden set up ?
what chairs did u use @river cypress
what chairs did u use @river cypress
@tropic vapor wooden chairs in dark brown variation
What should go behind ables? Or is it better to bring it back more and then have like clothing outside
@nocturne schooner this is where I actually garden flowers but did you mean like flower arrangements instead :0
@crude ledge that looks so good!!!
@wispy tiger thank you so much;;;;!!!!
@crude ledge yes like flower arrangements but breeding flowers like that is very cute too
Hi! I’m wondering how this person was able to create this on their map? I’ve tried but it looks so bad in game ;-;
Am I able to fit all of my villagers houses and able and nooks and my museum on the beach?
Ohhhh in that case I have a rainbow (looks much better when flown over) and some areas of just assorted whites with water @nocturne schooner
@molten dust it looks like a combination of path circles and individual squares. when it comes to that type of thing, my recommendation is to mix and match the in-game paths and just experiment until you come up with something you like. and try to remember that just because it looks good on the map, it might not in-game (and vice versa)
I need a design code for a school house sign! Can anyone help me out?
Anyone have pictures of cool castle designs?
@wispy tiger It depends on your individual island - some islands have beaches big enough for everything, and some have narrower beaches
@woven drift try #custom-design-help🎨 (:
@stuck trail thanks!
Oh ty!
wooden chairs in dark brown variation
@river cypress well i’m kinda out of wood and i don’t rly have customize kits so what other chair would be good
wooden chairs in dark brown variation
@river cypress well i’m kinda out of wood and i don’t rly have customize kits so what other chair would be good
@tropic vapor I would do benches then just the ones you have
which kind
Just finished my public garden
I'm usually against all hacking in AC but if there was one that allowed custom pathes to have the ingame path sound I wouldn't think twiiiice 😫
ik it gives me chills when i walk silently in my bricks cuz of the liners
There are some inspo pics using the vanilla paths that actually look fantastic. Ive gotta get more creative with them is all
i hate how people want to do things to their island just for the map look, idk my map is disgusting and i think the actual island is ok
New orchard area! Waiting for the fruits to grow in and the back cliff still needs work, but wanted to share my progress! 🥰
Yeah I couldnt care less about the map look if exploring the island is awkward
Thank you for the entrance idea! This looks awesome 🥰
yeah and none of my custom paths show up but i could care less, they look good
how do u guys optimize custom design slots, i’ve rly been having trouble like what should i prioritize
the main paths should be prioritized, and if you have room for smaller ones do that @tropic vapor
i mainly use paths that are actually in the game so mine is mainly this wooden plank thing, liners, and some extras
@tropic vapor I always delete the designs I only use in 1 spot, and I reuse designs in different/opposite locations so it's not too repetitive;; design slots have been a big problem for me because the road I use for my city take 15 slots so I rly have to consolidate 😔
Update: god it takes forever to place cliffs. Moving on to the layout and 3rd layer. Wish me luck!
@indigo ravine ballonlea is such a small city so are u gonna just extend it or make new unique things
@indigo ravine ballonlea is such a small city so are u gonna just extend it or make new unique things
@tropic vapor I'm extending it to fit loads of nature as well as 3 user homes, nooks cranny, and ables.
i’m intrigued to see that, when ur done let me come by!
@indigo ravine you got this!!
Now which staircase should I use for the incline in ballonlea?
natural or white plank or brick or stone or any metal
this isn’t that cute but i saw this idea n i thought i would try it :>
This Is definatly a multiday project
Well if you look at the image its wood planks, so maybe the wooden staircase?
@indigo ravine when i’m bored and finished with my current island should i redo it and make it based off sootopolis
I hate when asking about demolition when you a spam and accidentally click "well now I dont know"
@indigo ravine > @indigo ravine when i’m bored and finished with my current island should i redo it and make it based off sootopolis
@tropic vapor it's a ton of work! I'm redoing my island section at a time per day. Ballonlea will definatly take 2 days. Alto the terraforming is the longest step
Suggestions on what I should add to my dock?
@indigo ravine my random island is take months so i think 2 days is nothing
Lol
Not sure if you guys are familiar with hanami crossing but I just visited him and I am now convinced I have been playing this game completely wrong
And that is only the hours spent on heart 2.0, my 2nd island.
EEK SO MANY PAGODAS
Hana i has just made me very sad that my island will never be that good
And that's just about half of his island!
The natural beauty of my island hopefully will be astounding
W H A T
My island is very nature based. It's quite beautiful. Not the most intriquite, but in my opinion definatly earns the 5 star rating
The best thing on my island is probably something that o my I know about. All I did was I put a dang SQUID FIGURE behind a cliff on top of an ink puddle to make it an inkling
im not sure what i should do i want to move my villager houses (again) and what i’m doing is pretty risky too so i might not like it so tt would make it not take two weeks or make me disappointed but idrk if i actually should
My current campsite
Looks good!
Also, heres my butterfly sanctuary at day and night
Wow!
I'm looking for any cottage core layouts and inspiration I would love to visit your 5 star island that are natural and or natural please DM me or @ me please and thank you in advance
Does anyone have any bakery ideas?
Here's a little something I did inspired by a HK post on Pinterest just added my own touch to it
How does this look? 1st or 2nd?
yes im back just in time for the progress of the pokemon island!
First!
😂 I'm glad you are excited for it! I've just recently finished most of the terraforming
@indigo ravine i feel like both ways would look good depending on how you put stuff around it but id say first
Got it.
The white space is reserved for the "pokemon center" (nooks cranny). Does that help with knowing which way to place the staircase?
been so long since i played pokemon sword i got a shiny ralts and then retired
Anyone have any park ideas that doesn’t have a playground?
Off to the left is where the staircase is going.
trying to atleast finish setting up my cove by the end of tonight but it sucks waiting for people to come to your island to give you certain things but patience is key
Dont worry about the path. That's just from the previous shopping district.
@indigo ravine it’s exactly in the middle of the two so it depends how u want ur island decorated and which will be more convenient
I think vertical looks more similar to the original design
i honestly think the sideways one does
is there an item like the coat hanger but a towel hanger? something i can put on the ground since i won't be able to attach it to the cliff
i can only think of the rattan towel basket
is there an item like the coat hanger but a towel hanger? something i can put on the ground since i won't be able to attach it to the cliff
@icy flint the closest you’re getting is the towel basket
@indigo ravine yea vertical
If I dislike it later, I can always go back and redo jt
also u should tt to fall for all the mushroom stuff
hmm do you think it would go with my cove vibes? im asking because i put a pink shower outside marina's house and wanted something to go along with it
Its complicated because the og incline in the photo is diagonal
Kinda random but since I just made a new orchard, what's a good KK song to play in it?
Yeah. Hopefully I can find the mush lanp diy in balloons! If not I'll just buy it off someone in the diy servers
inspired by a photo I found on Pinterest! this took all day😩 it’s a market leading to Redd
@indigo ravine i think u should go vertical cuz that would still be on the path in the real city but the side one would get off the path
What time of the year (month) do balloons contain mushroom DIYs?
november is the only full month
Got it. I'll move the houses into place first and then yeah. Next step. "The path"
should i tt for houses
Yes ^
pls no no more the paths you're better than this
Well sorry if its the path that best matches the path in ballonlea
true
but the quotes 👀
I wont quote you on that.
ha
Like my placeholder path lol?
very nice
I know its a placeholder but its creeping me out lmao
You'll be evicted too. You'll be evicted too. you'll be EVICTED TOO.
@indigo ravine u should make ables the pkc cuz it look more like it imo
Wai?
I was planning on making nooks cranny the pkc. It's a shop. There is a shop in the pokemon center.
boom quick maths
what’re u gonna make able then
No matter what I do, nooks cranny has to go somewhere.
Wish my mornings were this peaceful everyday 😌🌈
One of the houses. I'm extending the path down, and it will be located at the end of that. Put nooks cranny on the bottom layer, the flower shop, able sisters, and library on the 2nd layer in a curved shape, the hotel as the "gym" and the resturant as the building off to the side!
when u find out opal is actually 16
how deep are you going into reddit at night?
i don’t own reddit..
Hey guys how’s my meteor crash look? It’s the area for my rock garden
@rare barn put a flying saucer! if u don’t have put a retro rocket
is it customizable and if u throw in some taurus frags it’ll fit in just fine
Itl be a bit off, but I think itl look better. Remember. Its ballonlea inspired, not exact replica.
Also, I should have gone with the horizontal bridge😣
my main problem is the path too light
Working on my lil graveyard area but I'm missing something and idk what
Yeah... lemme see if I can find a darker version
@gusty stirrup it’s too bright which is the opposite vibe u want, also put dark dirt or stone flooring
does anyone have a coastal themed island I could tour?
“paint the roses red”
[alice in wonderland]
Munch break
what else should i add/change?
add some custom designs on the ground !! they add so much
@little gulch what kind? stone? wood?
@little gulch I was gonna say the same! Lol there’s some cute seashell custom designs and other stuff for the beach that can spice it up
I made it to 5⭐️ today even though I’m far from done with my island 🥰
@dry ibex stones are cute! i was thinking little patches of flowers or puddles :)
Hows this look @tropic vapor
love it
i’ll add that! thanks (:
Anyone have any tips for placing Villagers? I am having a hell of a time with my island in general but mostly Villagers...spread out or together?
I recently placed purple hycaniths next to red roses and they made both of their colors pop - which flower combinations other than this one can make each other pop? Im unsure - i was hoping to use yellow roses
Ive been trying combos but i dont have all the flowers in game so i wanted to be sure before making a purchase in gardening
What do I do with this space
maybe a orchid if you haven’t made one yet! 🙂 @feral radish
Ive decided I'm going to get the last of the pathing put in, and then ill be done for now. I've worked alot today. About 6 hours today.
Ok but how do I do that
@astral phoenix I’m not too sure but here’s a pic of some assorted flowers so you can see what pops :0 personally I think yellow and the darker pinks looks cute, like strawberry lemonade
yellow roses and pink tulips do seem to look cute
s a r a h#5420 how do I do the orchard???
Ooo ty!! Maybe ill put in some pink cosmos!
No prob!!
@feral radish here are some examples sorry wrong ping
@lilac lintel tysm
Hey! I wanna redo my entrance - can anyone shoot some photos of some cute ones I could use as inspo?
@teal crow here are some 🙂
@teal crow here is my entrance!
Just unlocked terraforming and I'm in deep need of help creating an entrance
@woven drift personally i would focus on my entrance and make a nice pathway to my resident services then I’ll start on the neighborhood you have a really nice layout island! 🙂
Idk if this counts as cute but I love it!
@glacial axle how do you get that code for the dirt parth
does anyone have some inspo pictures for a fairycore or cottagecore-friendly cafe area? most of the ones i'm finding have diner furniture or arcade furniture, etc
@feral radish here is the creator code!!😊
@glacial axle tysm
@glacial axle that path is super cute I’m going to use that also 🤣
ty!!!
need some help im trying to make zucker a sushi restaurant and i won't be able to put more desks on the right due to the hill so i was thinking of planting a palm tree or any trees next to the hill to try to cover it or a fake palm tree? any suggestions?
i just wanted to ask how do you guys place all your trees where you get your wood/materials from? do u have a designated area just for it? my island feels small bc i used 1/8 of it for trees and bamboos to get materials
What fence looks good for Raymond a little garden next to his house
just wanted to show off my little peninsula library :))
@grim stag keep a dedicated spot for your orchard to have a guaranteed amount of wood
@grim stag I just use the trees from my campsite / forested area to get materials. I have a separate bamboo forest but you can mix them in with regular trees as well and it looks fine (:
@icy flint I think palm trees or standees would look nice!! You could also fill it in with different fish or fish models/cardboard box items so that it looks like you got a fresh shipment!! Or cushions with a custom design to look like rice bags :0
@grim stag my island is nature themed so there're trees everywhere, you can also just use a nmt to collect wood from an island
i used the zen fence since the black part on top matches the roof and outline of his house. and the white as well
@crude ledge yes this is what im basing it off of so def gonna add some fish and all that
Airport enterance ☺️☺️
would anyone like to help me in my island with ideas? apparently the scenary is not good enough lol
@magic forge there should be decorating ideas in the pinned if that’s what ur asking !
@dry ibex where 😫
Queen Ankha has officially moved in!!
@magic forge
im waiting on some items to arrive, but can someone give me some things to make this place look more full, but not cluttered? :p
@dry ibex thank u v much!
right below is the beach so i made a little surf shop at the beach entrance :p
@echo sparrow I think beach chairs would look cute along the sides!!
@rare hull can you post your island layout?? I’m trying to do a similar entrance!
@pallid sentinel u can make a water fall entrance
I just made this entrance! honestly so proud
can someone show me how they laid out their home and villager houses? need ideas🥺 in need of inspo
@pulsar sorrel I haven’t done anything with my home just yet but my villagers I did spread out! Some I grouped with others, some are solo. (And I’m still changing some things on my island so it’s a mess still) but hopefully this helps! You can also see other maps using the search bar if you type in “in:island-layouts has: image: map” to see what others did
Can you please share your island paths with me? I keep trying these random codes and I'm tired of re-inventing the wheel. Show me what you're proud of. I'd love to tour too if you're open to it 🙂
I love the look of Grey brick. but can't seem to find a full path that would let me get all the edges/corners and sides just right.
nowhere near done decorating, but this is what i did for the first layer of my villagers’ neighborhood. (: @pulsar sorrel
It's taking a while to get used to, I just got the island terraforming tool but here's my entrance so far! Any advice is welcome
maybe a statue on both sides in the middle of the green bushes !
i have no idea how to design areas for my villagers houses. merengue has a dinner and stitches has a playground. what should i do for villagers like beau or lolly who don’t have very obvious themes?
I dont know what to do in this tiny area...my island isnt really cottage core..more natural
@river spindle I used the brick path that you can purchase when you unlock terraforming. But I have a friend that used this pathing if you want me to dm you the code
@high aspen Put the houses together and make a community yard... Maybe like a beach or a marketplace
@high aspen beau has the log cabin house right
Hi guys i need help , does anyone have any recommendations which chair should i put behind me? My first choice was the crescent-moon chair but i think it looks weird because there’s a moon above it😫
@blazing jungle do the crescent moon!
Uh sorta... My houses are all together and I am working on a lil library hangout area... But not really @high aspen
@blazing jungle I think you should still do the crescent moon chair and color it different!
@high aspen this is what i did for erik
@high aspen okayy noted!
What should I put in this empty space lined with beautiful pink, blue, purple, and black flowers?
@vernal oxide which color do u think works the best
Does anyone who has a 5 star island want to come to my island to tell me some stuff to do? Dm me if you want to
@deep spear wow that's nice!
@hard moat thanks i saw someone else do an upper deck yard and it looked good
@blazing jungle I would say do a bright color! Maybe try like a blue pink or purple. But it’s more of a preference you have! Or even white might look good!
@high aspen all the normals talk about books a lot, so you can put Lolly's house within a library or have bookcases - this is what I did for her yard! For Beau, you can do a cabin in the woods type vibe?
anything i can scatter around to make the pool area look more full, but not cluttered? (,: thanks in advance! 
(i’m still waiting for some items to arrive :P)
@vernal oxide pink is cute , but for now i think i'll stay with yellow bcz i dont have any pink starfragments to go with the pink chair atm
i have no idea how to design areas for my villagers houses. merengue has a dinner and stitches has a playground. what should i do for villagers like beau or lolly who don’t have very obvious themes?
@high aspen here's how I did my yards (old pic I don't have half of these villagers anymore)
I’m doing a starnooks for my shopping district anyone have any inspo?
palm tree lamps! and maybe a seating area using the rattan furniture <3 @echo sparrow
@echo sparrow maybe a couple more poolside bed. Bamboo stools with coconut juice
Part of my water area. 💧
I’m doing a coffee shop for the area near ables and nooks anyone have inspo?
@pliant timber ignore the trapped horse 
thats cute lol
@limber ginkgo Aw that’s so cute but since it’s near my nooks and ables I can’t do that 😭😭
here’s my cafe (:
@pliant timber mines between them but there's a little bit of a gap separating all 3
@stuck trail tbh i think ima finish the cove tonight at this rate if i keep getting the right stuff
The walkway to my museum. I made it 4 days ago and it's being taken down/changed tonight

@limber ginkgo I have like no space on my island 👁👄👁
@vast gate sorry for the late reply here’s my map my rc is very close to the airport, u can come over and check it out if you want to take a look ☺️
Hi guys I really want to make a cottagecore entrance that will connect to my shopping area (in my video)! Any ideas and help are greatly appreciated!
Is anyone good at designing? Im not lol. If so then can they review my island and tell me what I can improve :T
Do soccer ball exist in this game?? Cause I can’t seem to find any for my soccer field
@spice pendant is not sure but you could try customizing a volleyball
@wispy tiger I tried that and they don’t customize 🤷🏻♀️
@spice pendant I looked it up and it says that you can get them but it’s by chance
Okay thank you!
@spice pendant you can also see if someone is selling one through #furniture-trade or nookazon!
I have this long stretch of beach, but I don’t know what to do with it. It’s gonna have to have a bridge that crosses the river but whenever I think of a new idea, I always end up scrapping it cuz the land is too thin, the grass area is also part of the beach area. Does anyone have any ideas?
@vernal oxide okay thank you
@mellow lagoon maybe you could do a diving spot with a lifeguard chair? I’m not sure if you will have enough space though
@mellow lagoon maybe a market?
Can someone send me their map layout? idk how i want to make the rivers so i would really need some inspiration!
@spice pendant there is one. I can order one for you. But im not gonna be on till tomorrow
@lavish monolith thank you so much I appreciate the offer. However I magically found someone who had one!
@woven drift there’s a bunch if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: map”
@vernal oxide tyy for the tip! imma try i,t hopefully i found some inspiration 😄
what do u guys think? i’m trying to improve 🥺
@lunar talon lovely island! maybe you could put more shrubs on the waterfall mountain? it feels kind of empty
@lunar talon I think it looks really good so far!! I think adding decoration to the cliff would be sure cute!
if i have a set of clothes a shirt and a hat i wanna display do i put two cardboards behind the shirt or do i do the diy with one normal cardboard box and the smaller one on top?
i made a hidden onsen
I have this long stretch of beach, but I don’t know what to do with it. It’s gonna have to have a bridge that crosses the river but whenever I think of a new idea, I always end up scrapping it cuz the land is too thin, the grass area is also part of the beach area. Does anyone have any ideas?
@mellow lagoon maybe fishing themed? Since it's between two bodies of water
does anyone have a good yard for genji?
@mellow lagoon i just decorated my beach with stuff.
What did y’all do with the bamboo?
It really does not fit the aesthetic of our island. We like the cedar forest witch vibes. Right now we just kinda stuck all the bamboo in one corner with some Cyprus baths and called it a “spa.” But I don’t love it..
maybe put it around a pond?
Need help with a items with no money area
@hollow gull if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: genji” there’s some really good ones!
My island is pretty much a blank slate and I'm thinking of spreading out my villagers houses since I changed my theme and I want to give them yards but I have no idea where to start. Any tips?
@abstract kelp for me personally, I designed my island as a whole from the entrance and worked my way out. But I also thought of ideas I wanted. So for instance Judy is getting a star gazing area. And Marshal got a cafe. Diana and Raymond are apart of my library area. And as I slowly worked through my island I built those areas with their house as well!
I have resident services WAY too close to the airport , it woild be epic if you have the same problem and show me how you did your entrance
@tulip minnow
@abstract kelp I would move ables next to Nooks and put the museum on the other side of RS, then you can spread villagers all over the N and W sides of your river.
i see way too many cottagecore stuff so i decided to give my island something more fresh
a tropical themed island lol
here are my villagers
hii, anyone do a honey/bee farm using the beekeeper's hive diy?? id love to see some inspo
My 5 star island. I've moved stuff around about 100 times it feels like.
@coarse jewel I put mine in front of my orchard and behind my smoothie bar!
@vernal oxide aw i love it, including the smoothie bar its all super cute ! tyy
What has everyone done outside their homes? I have no clue what to do for the outside..
well its your home, so i would decorate with your favorite items/hobbies and fav flowers, just personalize it ! i havent gotten to my house yet but am almost completely done with all my villagers exteriors lol
I need some help coming up with what to put in this area here, but I’m not very creative when it comes to this kind of thing haha. Anybody have any ideas? 😅
(On the map it’s the area where the marker is)
whats your island theme if u have one? @azure matrix
hi yalls!!! so im currently having 0 ideas for my entrance and i was wondering if anyone has tips/has encountered alignment issues... and how do y’all deal with it?
my airport is slightly to the left and my plaza is just up ahead and to the right!! 😑😭
Anyone have a cute beach campsite? If so send pics I need inspo
I don’t really have one, come to think of it haha - I’ve just been trying to make it look nicer
well i think since the space is behind your shops, maybe a garden with flowers/bushes/fountain and seating areas? or cute little cafe?
@azure matrix there’s a list of ideas in the pinned section!
Can anyone who blocked off resident services show me how they pushed people to the left or right?
I blocked mine off, so that people can only enter through either side, but not knowing where to go from there.
My rs is close to the airport too, if that helps. Don’t know the exact number.
Yeah that could work!! Thanks @coarse jewel - also thank you, @vernal oxide !!
@steep falcon i would do cliffs and like pave a curvy path to your RS since they're on opposite ends!
@azure matrix this is my entrance, my resident services is pretty far from my airport
@steep falcon This is how I managed to deal with mine. My RS is really close to my airport
hii, anyone do a honey/bee farm using the beekeeper's hive diy?? id love to see some inspo
@coarse jewel currently Tammy's yard is a mini beekeeper's area :)
thats so cute! im planning on doing that for maple's house!! @plain forge
Does anyone have inspo for Lolly's yard?
@opal bough I used bamboo to outline my spa with some bamboo fencing
@coarse jewel ahh maple fits that aesthetic perfectly!! ♥️ and ty :)
Ideas for decorating Apples front yard? 🍎

Punchy or Raymond for mayor?

Anybody have inspo for small spaces on islands?
@abstract kelp wow that’s beautiful! ty for the pic! i think i’ll incorporate this with @coarse jewel ‘s idea.> @steep falcon This is how I managed to deal with mine. My RS is really close to my airport
@abstract kelp
ok thanks discord i have no idea how to use you but i hope y’all get the message 😆
@steep falcon yess their entrance pic is exactly what i was thinking!
@glacial axle I don’t, but you could do a small picnic area, a tiny farm. How small are we talking?
This is one of my tiny spaces @glacial axle
@granite spire I’m still super in love with that idea
@vernal oxide not super tiny maybe 7x7
@vernal oxide gonna steal that pic aswell 😜😂
@glacial axle what is it near? You can never go wrong with a picnic!
@granite spire maybe I will 😏
I kinda like the farm idea with some dinos eating @vernal oxide @granite spire
my tiny space is a small pop up library! @glacial axle still a wip tho!
@glacial axle that would be super cute! If you make it I definitely want to see the end result 👀
my island is kinda sad rn
@lament hinge i pushed mine to the left to a street market.
Can i see playground layouts? I need ideas
can i see anyone’s island map? i need ideas, i’m flattening out my island rn and i have no idea what to turn it into :’)

i don't have any slots left for any custom stalls or paths so im trying to go stall-less or try to use default ones
They need to add more slots 😭
@primal hatch i have a diy stall in front of my island which also leads to the front beach
@timber stump I did a SUPER SMALL one by Zucker’s house. On my old island. I did a little beach area with fish in tanks next to the chair as well!
I agree
super cute! @vernal oxide thank u!
is there a chat for going to other people's islands? cause I'd like to visit a few for inspo
@timber stump you can place it on your pier
@woven drift yup! You can try #mysterybags-and-yardsales !
@woven drift #690093605821480980 #mysterybags-and-yardsales
@woven drift I can open my island if you wanna come visit
@lavish monolith my area is going to be behind my ables sisters!! let me send a photo so u can see how small lol
Can other people help you with your island?
@placid carbon they can't place or pick up furniture but yes
this is the area!! just need some ideas for little fishing/boating items to put!
@icy flint oh smartB
@placid carbon if they’re your best friend the most they can do is help pick up flowers and maybe trees but don’t quote me on that last one
Audies old surf shop which is now Sherbs ice cream shop any suggestions to what I should add ^_^
@river cypress I honestly think it's perfect the way it is!
do you think if i put bamboo benches around a spot with some kitchen stuff it'll look like a bamboo outdoor bar?
@abstract kelp ty C:
I can't find the chats ahh
Cause y'all have such cute ideas and I just need help
i was thinking about using an ironwood low table but i feel like the wheels would make it weird
any inspo for tropical island entrances?
Can I see some of your concert areas, I need inspo
@icy flint I think it might look weird but I’ve seen others use those rattan stools for their tiki bars!
hmm ill prob craft a few of each and see what works
I have a drink sign I'm hoping to use for a tiki bar
@woven drift Try clicking on #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales and if that doesn't work it might be locked behind the trading rules verification so go to #721542917264638002 and click the checkmark and see if that opens it up!
@timber stump you can put a lawn chair, maybe display some fish. A cooler, toolbox and a lantern and you should be good to go. Maybe drop a bait bag on a log stool a
@lavish monolith awe i love those ideas!! thank you :))
heyy! i need some inspo for a way to set up my villagers houses. i can send a pic of my island map so u can see what i have to work with lmao. i can post it here or dm :)
@hasty snow mine isn’t super drastic just something simple with instruments and seating if it helps!
@icy flint i used bamboo and floor seats
@lavish monolith is that a bamboo bench but custom?
The "table"? Yes its the dried one, i think
has anyone made a butterfly garden? i plan on building one soon and I need some inspo :))

@light meadow good idea Ill look around ty
I have the beginnings of a decent island just been needing others ideas to spark some of my own
silly question: what's the best way to plant trees to make your island not look messy?
My zen garden ❤️
Hey would anyone here be able to help out with a Tokyo/ Kyoto style island layout
@waxen wind depends on what kind of "tokyo/kyoto" style you are after, the period, and how serious you are about the 'source material' vs. just 'inspirations'
there's a lot from castles, gardens, temples, slum streets, fish markets/ shops, countryside etc, for layouts and actual theme of zones.
silly question: what's the best way to plant trees to make your island not look messy?
@ancient ore
You can line up or if you want, plant them on the border of paths.
some part of my island is after bakumatsu period and I used screenshots from historic tv shows and google search /shrug
you should follow @hanami_crossing and jaspersia on instagram. Lot of inspiration
@still summit I see I see, currently I’m working on a urban city/ downtown look but I would like to eventually have a variety of looks
@still summit I haven’t looked into photographs or reference pics too much but if you are available I’d love to get a look at your island if you’re open to visitors
omg this island is so cute
My map
@still summit
yeah I'm looking at that account
Also I’m looking for some inspo on how to terraform different levels and get a good flow to the city
shame it's no longer april tho
@still summit ugh i never got to experience those trees
Time travel doe 👽
changing you system clock is a thing lol, Time travel doesnt really have any bad sideeffects in this itteration of the game, the only thing you might get is cockroaches if you time travel ahead by like a year
i have like 0 trees on my island rn
recently decided to redesign my island layout... i cant figure out what to do with the space around the museum and in front of resident services. any ideas?
i thought i would be done today but im not gonna be because i did not expect to use over 100 normal wood to add things smh
this looks amazing @robust mist , add some trees or fences and maybe a maze to get there ?
I need inspiration for a gardeny and cottegey cafe!! Pls
thanks @shut kindle !
@icy flint i feel you. I think i used up 40 stacks of stone for my chessboard. I havent recovered yet 🤣
i'm really unsure of what to do with my entrance, since res services is so close and i just added a path of houses off to the right. does anyone have tips?
hmm
My outlook... what should I add?
tbh i really don't care if my custom paths don't show up on the map but should i put the default paths underneath (my non transparent ones)
Sherb In my cluttered cosmos garden lol should I add dirt to it?
Ngl I'm starting to really like Cosmos (used to be my least favorite flower)
awee so cute @river cypress
My café
Ngl I'm starting to really like Cosmos (used to be my least favorite flower)
@trim trellis same with hyacinths i love them now
hey @lime jasper i don't have pics for inspo but you should totally use the garden wagon DIY !! and - this might be a little cheesy for you but - in my house, i have two gnomes having a cup of tea with each other. i think that would be a super cute thing to do in a cafe!
@light meadow this is some inspo for a star bucks 😄 if you ever wanna add anything
I’m stuck here and have no idea what I can do in this area. It’s in front of the shops but idk what would look well here
Do you have a café?
This is my island entrance not much yet though it's still a wip but some ideas for ya @robust mist
guys, what should I add to my bamboo cliff area, it's just bamboo and nothing else
@somber juniper I set up some stalls in front of my Nooks like a little outdoor market
@somber juniper maybe a market?
Would someone be willing to come to my island and looking at my entrance? I’m struggling on how to incorporate the buildings into what I currently have.
a town center? hedges, fountain, chairs, bus stop sort of thing? @somber juniper
@pallid sentinel yessir
@waxen flame an outdoor bath would be super cute!!
@waxen flame I made my bamboo cliff into a spa
oooo those are some really good ideas! thanks
I have my island open if anyone wants to come visit let me know. I have a 5 star island
Ahh thanks I’ll have to try to imagine what they would look like
Is anybody here interested in merengue? I’m getting rid of her
wrong chat
ttry #villager-trade or #701251557458444395
Ok thx
I made my island tune toxic by Britney spears and I just heard it play when I went into dodo airlines I'm dying
I made mine bubblegum KK
@somber juniper If you need any inspo you can use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image:” then press space and type whatever you’re looking for. Such as a market!
@hoary berry check out #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales
I was working on my entrance and saw Raymond and Poppy sitting down listening to Diana sing 
@light meadow I don't have those things but YES
i dont have eough room for a rock garden so should i try and get my rocks to spawn in the forest or as decor in yard
Forest
@grizzled egret I like the forest idea personally!
okay cool
@lavish monolith in case u were wondering this is what i did lol! put a lawn chair and a little folding table with some lunch and then displayed some fish! gives me “# 1 dad” vibes lollll
Need inspiration for empty spaces
ahh I still can't get the #island-visits chat
@woven drift use the #721542917264638002 there should be something for you to read and then a reaction for you to hit. Then it will grant you access to the marketplace channels
@mint badge theres a list of ideas in the pins
@vernal oxide I did but it won't work
can rocks spawn next ro trees or do they need to be 1 away
@woven drift is tab opened? There’s a little arrow next the “marketplace” and on the side of it should be an arrow. Is it facing down?
I think a pottery area
Yeah it is
@grizzled egret needs to be 1 away!
okat thanks
@woven drift can you please DM @neon knot i'll help you out there!
Thanks I dm'd them
what are some cottagecore ideas for little spots around my map< 3
@robust mist aw! Thank you!!!
@fathom nest here’s a list that should help with ideas! There’s also a list of general ideas in the pinned section!
Anybody else feel tempted to restart their island lol
i already did lmao @ripe axle
any island entrance inspo with waterfalls around it
@trim trellis I have too much to lose, I’ve already completed my museum, have everything catalogued in the game, I know 400+ diys but so tempting lol. I just hate having resident services so close to my entrance
@sullen sable this is my entrance! In between the top and bottom pictures is a fountain with benches!
@vernal oxide those lamps are GORGEOUS I would kill for one of those
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5utxe89ewnwaff4/20200713_003905.mp4?dl=0 I'm pretty proud of my entrance! my RS is really close to the airport too. if anyone has any suggestions for improvement though I'd appreciate it! sorry about the quality ahhh
@ripe axle i feel that, i just said to myself i might as well go for it & see if it makes me feel more confident in my island, and i can say i am very happy with my reset! & dont regret it : )
My resident services is really close to my airport too and it made me hate my island for a long time but I didn't want to put the effort in and restart 😂 so I just embraced it and it worked out well for me
@woven drift TO BE HONEST. I time traveled to see the cherry blossoms and grabbed some petals and had a friend craft two for me!
What should I add for the look out post
@vernal oxide what season has cherry blossoms I'm kinda new to this game?
@woven drift I’m pretty sure they were back in April...? But don’t quote me on that
@vernal oxide okay I'll check it out
Thanks!
@abstract kelp looks so good!! Thanks for the inspo
@vernal oxide I was so tempted to do the same thing before bc I started acnh in may but now I don't have a use for it in my new island theme so I'll suck it up and wait until next year 🤧
@woven drift April 1-10 is cherry blossom season
@ripe axle thanks!
@plain forge I actually didn’t even think to use the cherry blossoms in that spot but someone recommended using them. I would’ve went to that time for the recipes but I have no patience to wait around for it 😂
@ripe axle Thank you! Whether you restart your island or not, all that matters in the end is that you're happy with it. I hope you can find an entrance you love 
@vernal oxide it looks super good!! And same girl I feel u, anytime I have to tt and ~farm~ Redd or Gullivar to get a specific item I get so exasperated bc it runs my patience so thin 😭😂
Can someone help me make my cafe I just need some more kitchen cafe things and 8 cream dinner chairs ;-;
@plain forge idk if you heard me mention it before, but I’ve been switching the last of my villagers over from my brother switch to my own. And I spent all of last night and part of today trying to move Ankha over and the amount of frustration I had was horrible 😂😂 I was almost so tempted to buy her off someone
@regal storm use #furniture-trade or try nookazon to get the items you’re looking for!
It’s not that I was just trying to see if someone could help me finish it and I wanted to show it in here 😅
@regal storm im a little confused. Show a pic and we’ll see what we can help with!
Ok!
