island-designs

[grave junco]

also any river ideas or anything cause my river is mega ugly rn

[hollow vortex]

@austere nimbus That's a good one, but I want at least 3 models per house

[stable bluff]

hey! does anyone have any good ideas on entrances?:)

[twilit lintel]

is it me or is something missing in this picture

this is the area in front of it

[brazen holly]

Ooof guys where should I put my house I’m moving it

[plain forge]

@hollow vortex you can either pick models that have similar color schemes as Marina herself or her house, or think about what octopuses eat and pick fish models closest to that

[muted mulch]

How should I fill the back half of my island 😭

[austere nimbus]

ooh! than that, pale chub, and common butterfly? @hollow vortex

[lunar agate]

Any ideas? including terraforming

[zealous cloak]

@twilit lintel seems full enough to me! maybe you could add more pattern on the rocks? or move away the chairs that are closer, and add a bench or chairs facing the rock? they could be on a rug pattern or something, like a seating area to enjoy the show

[hollow vortex]

@austere nimbus Ah, pale chub's a great one!

@plain forge Great idea to base it off feeding habits!

[twilit lintel]

@zealous cloak i was thinking about adding chairs, but since the rock is a diagonally facing the island. its hard because chairs dont turn diagonally. and the area is alice tiki bar and restaurant which is meant to be on the beach rather than on a platform

[zealous cloak]

how about pieces of wedding fence that kind of "close off" the rock?

[woven drift]

@cyan cedar that looks beautiful

[twilit lintel]

@zealous cloak like behind the instruments?

[barren temple]

I just spent an hour reworking the waterways and now I find out you can't move town hall OTL

[zealous cloak]

@twilit lintel you could try behind and in front, or just one side and see how it looks

[plain forge]

is it me or is something missing in this picture
@twilit lintel remove the last table and seating closest to the rock, then add a white partition or fence or arch maybe. The last table is too close to the other area imo

[barren temple]

I'm trying to make room for a maze, let me get a picture and maybe you guys can help me plan. ;_;

[twilit lintel]

@barren temple my art gallery maze is behind my museum

@plain forge hmmm ill try that as well

[brazen holly]

I’m moving my house where should I put it?

[plain forge]

@brazen holly what does your map look like, and what's in it? We can't help without seeing a reference pic :)

[grave junco]

What can I do with my rivers, I’ve redone it once and I was gonna make it all straight but then decide to make it natural again but I am not good at make things look natural- pls help

[spring haven]

Worked on my house today ✨

[stable bluff]

here’s my map!! (my other file got corrupted, sadly:( ) any ideas on where to put a neighbourhood?:)

[barren temple]

I think to the right of the town hall@stable bluff

[trail rapids]

Should I put a pathway 🧐

[plain forge]

@stable bluff you likely will be moving buildings around in the future once you get terraforming, but rn the right corner looks good for a neighborhood :)

[brazen holly]

@plain forge I Dmed you a picture of my island

[visual drum]

This will be Octavian's Bait and Tackle.

[stable bluff]

@stable bluff you likely will be moving buildings around in the future once you get terraforming, but rn the right corner looks good for a neighborhood :)
@plain forge
yeah i definitely will! was just looking for a good starting point. tysm for your input!

[twilit lintel]

What can I do with my rivers, I’ve redone it once and I was gonna make it all straight but then decide to make it natural again but I am not good at make things look natural- pls help
@grave junco make the rivers twist and turn to make it look natural. and try adding some small rivers connecting to it as well that branches out a bit

[sharp lintel]

Does anyone know what theme this is?

[grave junco]

@twilit lintel could you send me a photo of what twists and turns would look like? so i have an idea

[woven drift]

@sharp lintel i would say cottagecore but I’m not sure

[woven drift]

Worked a bit more on Cranston/Blanche's shared yard.
It's shared bc they're married birbs

[harsh wing]

@Vanicchi 🐿#4333 looks very beautiful

[woven drift]

@harsh wing Ty! moved their homes just so they could be next to each other ♥ love their interactions :'3

[crystal estuary]

Have no idea on what to do in this area please dm tips or ideas 💡

[twilit lintel]

@grave junco i dont have natural rivers on my island.

[limber ginkgo]

I spread it out by 1 and added jail bars!

[ionic raft]

My current Shopping area :3
@final kiln do you have an IG or Twitter? I'm tearing my island down and need shop placement inspo 🙂

[twilit agate]

@crystal estuary What theme is your island and what do you have on your island already😊

[twilit lintel]

@limber ginkgo looking better!

[carmine wagon]

Any suggestions on what I could do with my entrance? I originally did it like this for a bit of a community area, but feel like I want to do something else with it. Just don't know what to do with it

[wide crown]

Ideas for what to put here? I don’t wanna use the stall because it’s too tall and takes away from the island I have behind it

[limber ginkgo]

@twilit lintel tysm! I was gonna use the code you sent but no slots

[twilit lintel]

@limber ginkgo aww that sucks! but at least it still looks good

[limber ginkgo]

I'm doing mental planning (I'm at work rn) for another area, anyone know if the great statue can be centered in a 3x3?

[twilit lintel]

@limber ginkgo ooh you could use these though. copper horizontal planks without using a custom design. they dont have the edgy look of it, but it could still work

[hollow vortex]

@limber ginkgo It can. It's 2x2 so it wouldbe surrounded by half-tiles

[limber ginkgo]

@twilit lintel I forgot those existed, I have some in another area 😂 I'll give it a try, I ordered the panels yesterday so I should have them now

@hollow vortex tyvm!

[twilit lintel]

@limber ginkgo youre welcome

[white dust]

anybody have any ideas for cliffs/wanna show what they did with terraforming??

[sly dock]

need some entrance ideas...

[upper tusk]

Thoughts and opinions?

[vernal oxide]

@sly dock this is my entrance!

@white dust most terraforming I did near my entrance and by Marshal and Merengue’s houses when I did a cliff with a walkway

[white dust]

thats super cute!!!!!

[twilit lintel]

@upper tusk maybe add some more flowers.

[upper tusk]

Thank you! @twilit lintel

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift it’s a pretty decent size area. I think you could do a library with a cafe !

[silent thistle]

Camping site update, any ideas on how to make it better ?

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift there’s also a huge list in the pinned section!

@silent thistle I think it looks really good. What about those pile of leaves? To give it some more greenery and some shrubs as well!

[twilit lintel]

@woven drift japanese spa that uses natural hot spring water

[vernal oxide]

@twilit lintel I was just grabbing your picture to show him 😂

[twilit lintel]

@woven drift

[noble carbon]

midge's lil farm :)

[vernal oxide]

@noble carbon Idk if you’re looking for suggestions, but some people use the watermelon designed beach balls, yellow hyacinths for corn, and even the mum cushions as lettuce! It’s super cute though!

[noble carbon]

@vernal oxide tysm. i'll keep this in mind. :)

[twilit agate]

This is mine@noble carbon

[pliant timber]

can someone please help with inspo for flower hybrid gardens? Everything I find is so big and ugly

[upper tusk]

Anyone know some good flower combinations that look good together?

[pliant timber]

@upper tusk black, white and gold roses!

[final kiln]

@ionic raft sadly I do not no :( but feel free to dm me when ever :) also to just chat about building islands x3

[vernal oxide]

@upper tusk depending on what you’re going for. There’s this link someone posted before that might be helpful! https://incantrix.tumblr.com/post/621629590289465344/garden-color-layouts-by-wolfie-of-honeywood

[vernal oxide]

@twilit lintel I thought about it but I feel like I wouldn’t have the time for it. Plus those people are nice and mediators 😂

[pliant timber]

hey guys, I really need some inspo for a cute but functional hybrid garden that doesn’t take up that much space. Can anyone help?

[twilit lintel]

@vernal oxide lmao youre on all the time though. like me lmao

[vernal oxide]

@twilit lintel I know I know. But with working again idk. Plus have you seen the application 💀 and the amount of lazy I am

[twilit lintel]

and youre so helpful! and calling out bullies and whatnot @vernal oxide

[twilit lintel]

i have not seen the application lmao. @vernal oxide is it long?

[plain forge]

hey guys, I really need some inspo for a cute but functional hybrid garden that doesn’t take up that much space. Can anyone help?
@pliant timber not my pic, but here's a small garden

[vernal oxide]

@twilit lintel I’m super lazy to do it 😂 I barely did my college homework today that was due 😭

[swift pier]

omg the rainbow!!

[visual drum]

So I've got Patty and Merangue, and I'm planning on making Patty and Merangue's bakery.

[vernal oxide]

I’m really jealous I’ve never seen a goddamn rainbow on my island.
@visual drum I just made merengue a bakery I could grab the picture for

[twilit lintel]

@vernal oxide lmao i just peeked into the application. and damn. i didnt even want to read all the expectations. that is a lot of effort lmao

[vernal oxide]

@twilit lintel RIGHT. I saw the first few things and I was like okay I could do that. And then kept going through the list and was like 😕

[pliant timber]

@plain forge thank you! just need it to work haha

[twilit lintel]

@vernal oxide any better? @plain forge

[vernal oxide]

@visual drum I moved a few things since these pictures were taken but this is Merengue’s area I just did today. A little bakery.

[solid bronze]

What yall think of the so far set up i got near tutus house?

[twilit lintel]

@vernal oxide yeah i didnt want to read the whole thing. not for me honestly

@vernal oxide you didnt show me you finished merengues area!!!!! its adorable

[vernal oxide]

@twilit lintel I think that looks better. It gives it more of an open feel and I think with the music stand gone it makes it easier to see if that makes sense?
I have to show you new pictures I need to take and thank you!!

[plain forge]

@twilit lintel yep, looks better now :)

[twilit lintel]

@vernal oxide yeah i know what you mean. @plain forge had told me to remove one of the table set that was there originally in front. so that was a good suggestion

[vernal oxide]

@twilit lintel yeah it looks much better! @plain forge is a queen of being helpful too !

[slender scarab]

This channel is so wholesome

[desert prairie]

Anyone have any inspiration pics for a cottage core / Fairy garden neighborhood area

[idle osprey]

heya i need some idead for my island like restaurants or libraries

[twilit lintel]

@slender scarab this is my favorite channel. im on here all day long honestly

[spring haven]

🤗

[slender scarab]

@twilit lintel I just lurk LOL

[visual palm]

Thoughts and opinions on my able sisters shop?

[idle osprey]

oh wowo its great

[slender scarab]

v tame and simple :D

[twilit lintel]

@slender scarab lmao its okay. i only comment when i can actually add feedback. if i cant, then im just in the background. i dont know too much about other island themes since i dont have it. that way i dont overstep on something i dont know anything about.

[vernal oxide]

@idle osprey this is my library!

[burnt panther]

@pliant timber

[idle osprey]

oo wow ty @vernal oxide what items will i need?

[twilit lintel]

@vernal oxidesoooo adorable. i used to have a library. but then i took it down to put my hotel lmao. no regrets

[slender scarab]

@twilit lintel the only feedback I give is the same pics of what I can offer LOL

[visual palm]

Cottage/Fairycore island enterance! Any ideas, or opinions?

[idle osprey]

oh wow @visual palm thats amazing!

[vernal oxide]

@idle osprey a lot of books to make the bookshelves. Whichever seating. So I did rattan I threw a little stall with cafe items. And to add some greenery I put in some potted plants (fan palm)

[plain forge]

@plain forge thank you! just need it to work haha
@pliant timber most functional gardens used for making hybrids are big and not for the purpose of looking pretty tbh, it might be better to just dedicate an area to let the flowers grow wild and then plant the hybrids in a small and cute garden :) cus the more flowers you plant the higher chance you'll get hybrids! Anyway, I found a different picture for small hybrid garden inspo, it might work but it'll take a loooong time to get the right colors unfortunately :o hope it helps!

[feral fiber]

Update: I made something

[twilit lintel]

@slender scarab lmao. im slowly getting the hang of other themes. so sometimes i will put input. but when it comes to terraforming. im terrible at. lmao

[visual palm]

Ty took awhile!

[desert shore]

does anyone have any pics for the area surrounding nooks and ables for a cottage/fairy/forest island?

[slender scarab]

@visual palm although I don’t see any room for improvement since it’s fine the way it is rn, I suggest spreading decoy ducks around your island where you see fit

[visual palm]

Okay! Thanks!

[slender scarab]

Not mine btw

[idle osprey]

wow so cutee

[slender scarab]

Still not mine

[twilit lintel]

finally finished alice's tiki bar and restaurant area ♥️

[visual palm]

wow, those are really nice and inspirational! i definitley see myself recreating some

[idle osprey]

i would try to make some of these but idk the items or how to do it-

[neon glen]

what is that filter everyone uses for their photos lmao

[slender scarab]

Film I think

[neon glen]

no i dont think its film, the colors r too washed out

[slender scarab]

Oh I thought u meant in general

[vernal oxide]

@neon glen on my pictures it’s usually pop or film

[limber ginkgo]

I'm going to rearrange the rocks later to make a circle pattern, pray for my sanity (this is my 3rd time moving them)

[twilit lintel]

@neon glen most of my pictures that i take are natural. i usually take my pictures during sunrise or sunset. but like my pirate area. i used the film filter.

[slender scarab]

dam why u firing at pascal

[still kernel]

Could someone help me design a more cottage core/cozy neighborhood instead of everything so close???

[twilit lintel]

@slender scarab lmao!

[neon glen]

i just wanna kno what filter ppl use for their cottagecore island pictures LOL it’s nice

[slender scarab]

I use film

[vernal oxide]

@neon glen maybe dramatic?

[plain forge]

Soft or sharp filters during the right time of day looks really good

[neon glen]

hmmmm i dont think its dramatic

[vernal oxide]

I just looked at it and was like oh yeah it’s not 😂

[plain forge]

Also, Photoshop is a thing. More filter options when you have your own app if people have the time to do it, esp if they're making online content

[neon glen]

it might be film for some pictures but hmm. also yes i’m aware of that but it’s too much of a hassle to open up my computer and open up photoshop LOL

[barren temple]

So you can see where I was wanting to move the town hall is just right about the town hall before I realized you cant move town hall. I want to make room for a heart shaped maze somewhere in this area but the area above town hall isnt big enough. Perhaps move one of the other buildings?

[woven drift]

Hey guys wanted to share this part of my island! Just made it today!!!

[idle osprey]

wow noice

[slender scarab]

Fruit pirate

[woven drift]

Havent posted here for months miss you guys. Gotta respect coconuts

[neon glen]

froot

[boreal steeple]

Any pirate entrances?

[upbeat spire]

the picture is not mine but does anyone know how to make the "credits" stand like a movie screen? is it just putting the code up like a painting?

[plain forge]

Lmao, yeah it's prob film for the most part. I use that most often & diff times of day gives a slightly diff effect

the picture is not mine but does anyone know how to make the "credits" stand like a movie screen? is it just putting the code up like a painting?
@upbeat spire it's simple panels that are customized

[boreal steeple]

the picture is not mine but does anyone know how to make the "credits" stand like a movie screen? is it just putting the code up like a painting?
@upbeat spire
Its 5 black simple panels with 4 different patterns total (all black, right, mid, left text)

[upbeat spire]

@upbeat spire
Its 5 black simple panels with 4 different patterns total (all black, right, mid, left text)
@boreal steeple thank you!!!! gotta find panels then, LOL. ❤️

[twilit lintel]

@upbeat spire if you dont want to use 3 different custom designs for the text. i only used one. i think it looks fine honestly. since youre just gonna use it one time

[boreal steeple]

I like the amps/ speakers there

[burnt panther]

Anybody can share their marketplace area? 🙂

[twilit lintel]

@boreal steeple gives it a different look when you put speakers

[sharp pike]

ANYone have an island like mine

[twilit agate]

@burnt panther

[vernal oxide]

@sharp pike what is your island like

[twilit lintel]

@sharp pike whats your island? lol

[cloud thorn]

Anyone have any cottagecore/gothic ideas for the museum area?

[boreal steeple]

Mines a lot like urs, unfinished lol

[twilit lintel]

@sharp pike mine is essentially done. just adding fine details to it

[sharp pike]

Idk how to make it look good.

[vernal oxide]

@sharp pike I’m still changing a lot of my island especially along the top and along the right side

[sharp pike]

Omg how? I am having trouble 🥺🥺

[burnt panther]

@cloud thorn i'm not sure if what mine is. But this is my museum entrance. 🙂

[sharp pike]

Its probably Because I wanna go for an acinent dynasty kind of theme but a bit more modern if that makes sense 🤔

[ornate meadow]

So I added an account to turn their house into a ramen place and I’m calling it Black Cat Ramen. What do y’all think of the stall design I made?

[sharp pike]

Oooh that awesome

[burnt panther]

@twilit agate wow! Thank you! That is so cool!

[vernal oxide]

@sharp pike I personally didn’t make a theme. I kinda just threw together what I liked

[twilit lintel]

@sharp pike hmmmm so maybe something european?

[sharp pike]

@vernal oxide see i am trying to do that too but I keep getting stuck
@twilit lintel mmm, idk what would european look like because i have this drama in my head that I want my island to kind of resemble

[burnt panther]

This is where i'm planning on putting up the market place. 🙂 in front of it is a moon fountain with 2 valiant statues. 🙂

[rugged bloom]

Does anyone have a screenshot of their town hall perfectly aligned with their airport?

[sharp pike]

My is not aligned at all

[pale lintel]

I made a cafe. I was wondering what kinda a light should go with it. My theme is natural

[vernal oxide]

@pale lintel what about candles? Idk if they’re really “natural” but the other lights im thinking wouldn’t be all that natural or you could use hyacinth lamps and customize them

[sharp pike]

All I have is my entrance done

[tacit wing]

what do you guys do with your hybrid flowers?

[pale lintel]

@vernal oxide ty

[still kernel]

Could someone help me design a more cottage core/cozy neighborhood instead of everything so close???

[floral nimbus]

just wanted to share something I was really proud of/thought was super wholesome! I have a hyacinth valley and Pietro's house is at the bottom of it. found him standing behind his house chilling this afternoon 😭💯

[twilit lintel]

@still kernel i suggest scattering your villagers for it to be more natural

[still kernel]

@twilit lintel Ik but I don’t know where to put them, so I wanted someone to design a map!

[twilit lintel]

@still kernel honestly you can put them anywhere since its gonna be natural. just start with one area at a time. thats what i did for my island.

[slender scarab]

Is it me or does erik’s iron look out of place

[steep tulip]

i am working on my entrance currently, and i need some good flower combos, preferably something colourful

[still kernel]

@twilit lintel is your island natural??

[twilit lintel]

@slender scarab oh it is. i photoshopped him in because i know i will get him eventually. hes covering stitches lmao

[slender scarab]

O WAIT-

[twilit lintel]

@still kernel nope its not.

[still kernel]

Darn

[vernal oxide]

@steep tulip red orange and yellow are super colorful!

[steep tulip]

@vernal oxide i will try that! i currently have purple, orange, and red together!

[sharp pike]

Making an island is hard if this was real life my island would stay a desert island.

[vernal oxide]

@steep tulip the middle picture shows the flowers! It gave it a bright and sunny feel with those colors !

[warped narwhal]

I just finished making a place for my campsite,
Any thoughts ?

[steep tulip]

@vernal oxide that’s so cute omg!

[sharp pike]

Wow!!!

[vernal oxide]

@warped narwhal i think it could use more greenery? I feel like it’s so much of “the path”

[steep tulip]

@warped narwhal maybe add some flowers or bushes to fill it in and make it more natural looking!

[marsh orchid]

First time doing paths :)

[steep tulip]

@warped narwhal yeah i agree, maybe if you want to you could shrink down the path a little and add some more greenery like flowers, just bare grass, weeds, shrubs

[warped narwhal]

I will add some ! Thank you guys !

[sharp pike]

Um, where do I ask for help to get more miles

[steep tulip]

@marsh orchid i love the border on the stone! i think it looks great

[twilit lintel]

@sharp pike you cant get more miles unless you actually complete mini goals and whatnot. but you can buy mile tickets

[marsh orchid]

Ty! :) not my design but I liked it

[steep tulip]

@sharp pike if you want nook miles tickets you go to #materials-and-tools but you can’t get miles

[dusty sleet]

how many tiles do villager houses take up?

[vernal oxide]

@dusty sleet 4x4 square

[steep tulip]

i think it’s 4x4

[manic sigil]

[sharp pike]

Ty

[neon glen]

speaking of miles i made another user cause i wanted another house for my island and i didnt realize how much work it is starting as a new player LOL

[steep tulip]

dudgdhfhdj

i have no clue where to put my house, or what to do with it on the exterior, like how do i decorate it outside.

[twilit lintel]

@neon glen its terrible honestly. the work to put back into that character. i made another one just for my church a while back. and its just terrible since you dont have the same items, money, nmt, diys, etc.

[drowsy python]

Does anyone know how to make the letter “E” out of water while terraforming

[steep tulip]

just make lines for the uppercase @drowsy python lmao i don’t really know

[neon glen]

yea idk how ppl can reset ahdjdbs i cant stand having to upgrade the house by farming 5k miles

[steep tulip]

@neon glen i’ve reset 5 times 🙈🙈

[humble wedge]

Anyone want to play?

[neon glen]

wild

[twilit lintel]

@neon glen yeah, no. i would never restart the entire game over. i rather redo my island 10 times before i do that

[humble wedge]

Anyone want to play?

[ruby nacelle]

I’m looking for someone to help me start planning (just need help starting it and some ideas, I won’t force you to plan the whole thing for me lol) my city themed island! I will pay in nmts, as many as you want, or bells. Here’s what I need help with:
-entrance ideas
-basic layout
-terraforming ideas
I feel like once I get started it’ll all come to me, but right now I have no idea where to start : ( please dm me!

[atomic mortar]

i've reset plenty on stardew but it would be painful on acnh omg

[twilit lintel]

@ruby nacelle you can go to nookazon to ask someone to design for you. @humble wedge ?

[neon glen]

:// yeah im really lazy w my new user but i just unlocked her house so once i terraform a bit more i thjnk ill have some idea on how to decorate her exterior

[humble wedge]

@twilit lintel would you like to play with me

[steep tulip]

@humble wedge this is the chat for designing your island

[humble wedge]

Ik sorry

[twilit lintel]

@humble wedge what are you talking about? you can go to #mysterybags-and-yardsales #690093605821480980 #494386287953051658 channels to fine someone

[steep tulip]

i am going to send pictures of my entrance in a minute and i would love to get some feedback! i am currently just adding flowers!!

[ruby nacelle]

Man I’m gonna sound like a choosing beggar, but all the people offering island designs on nookazon are so pricy lol

[steep tulip]

omg i know, i stopped using nookazon, because the things on there are WAY to overpriced

[ruby nacelle]

I’m just really struggling with getting the first basic stuff started, I don’t really wanna pay 40 nmts and several million bells for a push in the right direction

[neon glen]

most expensive one i’ve seen on nookazon is 100 nmt and he designs the whole layout for u. everything else is just islnd tours

[steep tulip]

but that’s what this chat is for, is to help people for free!

[twilit lintel]

@ruby nacelle its not easy to design an island. so of course they are gonna charge a lot. and honestly. its better to just TRY. that way you come up with your own style. the game is all about being creative.

[ruby nacelle]

Oh yeah I know it’s not easy, I’m not saying it should be cheaper

[steep tulip]

i don’t think people should design other people’s islands anyways

[ruby nacelle]

I’m saying I can’t afford it lol, all I’m looking for is a couple ideas on what to do not necessarily someone designing it all for me

[steep tulip]

hdjdbdj yeah i understand!

do you have a specific theme you’re going for?

[twilit lintel]

@steep tulip if you need ideas on what to add. heres some. these are common ideas that people incorporate into their island. if you just need help with decorating or terraforming, youre more than welcome to ask for advice in here. just send pictures and be specific.

[finite pumice]

I just recently made a food court area on my island and I’m proud of it

[steep tulip]

rock gardens take so much work tho 😩

[woven drift]

Not been here forever! @steep tulip haha mine isnt organized like the perfect ones you see so it was very easy

@steep tulip ikr

[ruby nacelle]

I like the urban/Japanese theme a lot of people have going, but I’ll do something that seems a bit different than that, maybe with a vapor wave idea of sorts, I guess I just gotta use my noggin for the first time in 4 months

[woven drift]

I just do many many themes on my island. Chinese japanese/zen pirate viking western. The mroe the better

[twilit lintel]

just gotta be creative and think outside the box. @ruby nacelle 😄

[ruby nacelle]

I love commas sorry y’all lmaooo. Anyway thanks for yalls help anyway! Sorry I couldn’t be more specific, I was trying not to be a choosing beggar lol

[finite pumice]

@woven drift if that’s your pics of your island it’s nice!

[woven drift]

Current layout I havent played for almost 2 months haha . Yes that's me

[ruby nacelle]

Like “can someone please design my entire island for me for free and also do it rn” I hate people who do that

[finite pumice]

I started playing the game in May. And I had no idea what I was doing lol. I’m just now getting a good grasp on my island and stuff

[brisk lance]

I recommend people useing "the path" legit even little things like this looks nice

[steep tulip]

omg i am so stuck on what colour flowers i want to put near my entrance

[woven drift]

I dont mind designing islands I've done it before. For raymond in addition to some in game transactions lmao. I love designing islands and im really good at it not to brag. I got 1k hrs in it but am rusty cause I quit for a month+

[ruby nacelle]

Would you mind helping me with getting started on this city theme? I’ll pay of course

[twilit lintel]

@brisk lance but "the path" is being over used nowadays honestly

[steep tulip]

also yes! i love using the path, but not over my entire island, i like using it in little areas just to give it a little extra details

[brisk lance]

It is, but it still looks nice

[steep tulip]

i don’t really like using custom paths, because i want it to show up on the map

[brisk lance]

Thats fair

[twilit lintel]

@steep tulip you can use the game path and then put the custom path on the top. just gotta angle it correctly

[neon glen]

imo the path doesnt really fit w most islands unless you’re going for the natural look

[finite pumice]

That’s what I did. I put real paths down and the covered it customs

[plain forge]

@ruby nacelle I have a city themed island and I found it easier to take inspo from an actual city that you like :) I'm doing LA so a lot of elements are frm there and I recently did some natural areas completed with the Hollywood sign that you can hike to. If you've visited some cities you like, start from there or use Google :)

[twilit lintel]

@plain forge your ideas and island are always on point

[finite pumice]

Putting paths down was a lot of work. Especially since I kept changing it 😅

[steep tulip]

@plain forge i’ve seen people do that before and they always turn out amazing

[woven drift]

@steep tulip any interest in seeing old pics of my flower beds?

[twilit lintel]

@finite pumice putting the borders around the island is so tedious honestly.

[steep tulip]

@woven drift ooh! thank you!

[ruby nacelle]

I was thinking about taking out all these rivers and straightening them out, connecting the 2 mouths like an upside down U, but I’m realizing that the mouths are really close to the edge

[finite pumice]

That’s Beautiful

[plain forge]

@twilit lintel tysm! Love your tropical resort since I always see it on here. I rly gotta visit sometime

[ruby nacelle]

That small island I turned into a park but I’ll probably have to take that down unfortunately and move it somewhere else at another time

[twilit lintel]

@ruby nacelle my map is similar to yours. my island is modern theme but its a tropical resort. i got rid of one of my rivers, which honestly doesnt look too bad

[steep tulip]

i want flowers scattered all over my island, but i also want an organized “rainbow” area to show off my hybrids, something maybe like this

[ruby nacelle]

Oh wow our maps are really similar

[plain forge]

@steep tulip I love those European and Japanese inspired cities, it's so on point and aesthetically pleasing ✨

[twilit lintel]

@plain forge youre more than welcome to come over. just lmk. im just waiting for the day for stitches to finally leave so i can decorate eriks yard correctly

[solar crow]

Do any of y’all have stage areas that you could share? I’m planning on building one

[icy oar]

So I just did a thing ❤️❤️❤️

[twilit lintel]

@ruby nacelle if you ever wanna come visit, lmk. its not the japanese town that you want. but maybe seeing my set up might help.

[ruby nacelle]

I was just about to ask if I could come visit, would 3 nmt be a nice tip?

[vernal oxide]

@steep tulip I did a small rainbow one!! It’s split up with a cliff that has a walkway to two villagers. It’s a little weird I know 😂

[plain forge]

@twilit lintel I'll definitely let you know! ♥️ And yeah same tbh, I have 4 villagers I still need to switch out

[steep tulip]

@vernal oxide that’s cute!! also i think it’s cool that it’s split up!

[finite pumice]

I’m going to show you guys a pic of the paths I did for my island

[twilit lintel]

@ruby nacelle no need to tip honestly. i do it for free since i know its hard to decorate and terraform. ill dm you the code

[ruby nacelle]

Oh alright, tysm!

[twilit lintel]

@twilit lintel I'll definitely let you know! ♥️ And yeah same tbh, I have 4 villagers I still need to switch out
@plain forge i love my stitches. and i got him for free when he was a campsite visitor. but now he just does not belong on my island. D:

[harsh wing]

@ruby nacelle mine is like 40 percent Asian if u wanna check it out.

[finite pumice]

I put the code for the path in the path codes # . It’s not mine, it was someone else’s & I gave them credit for it in the other chat

[neon glen]

[ruby nacelle]

Yeah sure, I’d love to visit! I’ll dm you when I’m available

[harsh wing]

👍 @ruby nacelle

[plain forge]

@twilit lintel ooo yeah I feel u ;; stitches was gonna be a dreamie but it's so hard to fit him into a theme unless you're doing a cute one or kiddie playground

[finite pumice]

@vernal oxide that’s so beautiful!

[twilit lintel]

@plain forge right?!?! its so hard to place him. but now im just waiting to get Erik so he can be my park ranger lmao

[manic sigil]

aww

[finite pumice]

This is my layout

[steep tulip]

i want to have a map with lots of water, and tons of little rivers and ponds

[twilit lintel]

@steep tulip my water bungalow area has just that honestly.

[finite pumice]

I need to add another pond

[neon glen]

has anyone ever made like... a modern town vibe w natural rivers?

[plain forge]

Do any of y’all have stage areas that you could share? I’m planning on building one
@solar crow I used to have one but I tore it down, @twilit lintel has a good concert area too I think

[steep tulip]

@twilit lintel yeah! i love that part of your island, but just imagine that over my entire island!

[finite pumice]

I have a mini festival on mine, does that count?

[solar crow]

Oh that’s perfect, that actually fits my island theme really well

[plain forge]

Ft my baby Genji playing the electric guitar

[steep tulip]

i found this online but, i love all the water.

[twilit lintel]

@solar crow

[neon glen]

ngl i would hate hopping around

[alpine pumice]

currently deciding where to put the visters camp

[warped narwhal]

That's my house
Im actually pretty proud of it

[finite pumice]

Mines is more of a “Dj” set up I stress

*instead

[steep tulip]

i need beach ideas

[twilit lintel]

@steep tulip i got you lmao.

[finite pumice]

Same honestly. I’m thinking of using one of my beach areas as a “muscle beach” inspiration

[vernal oxide]

@steep tulip and here’s a cute list me and someone else made !

[steep tulip]

@twilit lintel i love the pirate area! my secret beach is super close to the side, so i might to something like that leading up to it

[plain forge]

Mines is more of a “Dj” set up I stress
@finite pumice rave rave rave ✨

[north schooner]

I wish I could do a pirate area lmao - Gullivarrr only gave me an eyepatch. -__-

[steep tulip]

@vernal oxide i am definitely going to do a fish market !

[finite pumice]

My island is named after Dreamstate. The trance music festival

[twilit lintel]

@steep tulip this was my inspo for my pirate area. and they used the secret beach area

[steep tulip]

@north schooner i haven’t gotten gullivaar yet 😩

[full creek]

I’m not online right now. But would anyone like to be my mentor to help design my island. I want a beach/outdoor theme. I’m just not good at executing the ideas. It could possibly be a long process.

[north schooner]

@steep tulip took me forever to find his stupid phone tbh

[marsh orchid]

It’s not much but also made a bit of a waterfall for the entry coming off the airport

[twilit lintel]

@full creek you can come visit my island to get inspo. my island is tropical resort theme

[vernal oxide]

And everyone feel free to save the photo with the beach ideas and share that list whenever someone is in need of inspo!! I’m not always on and it warms my heart to see it used 🥰

[steep tulip]

@north schooner IDJDOD same
@twilit lintel omg that’s amazing

[plain forge]

Hold up u can fire the cannons??? Like if u touch it smoke comes out?

[steep tulip]

do you guys have pictures of your house exterior, and your house “yard”

[north schooner]

imagine having cannons...

[finite pumice]

I just have a pool and a fire pit

[vernal oxide]

@plain forge I think so but don’t quote me cause I don’t have one to find out

[limber ginkgo]

Hold up u can fire the cannons??? Like if u touch it smoke comes out?
@plain forge

[twilit lintel]

@steep tulip just took one honestly lol. its tamed compared to the rest of my island

[plain forge]

I'm gonna log on my switch just to check now 😂 @vernal oxide

[steep tulip]

@twilit lintel it’s cute tho!

[plain forge]

@plain forge
@limber ginkgo DID MOLLY JUST SHOT AT RENEIGH

[finite pumice]

You guys have some beautiful layouts

[harsh wing]

@north schooner cannons can be bought for 50 cents a piece.

[steep tulip]

@twilit lintel i would love to get a tour of your island, it seems so dynamic. i have seen your map and lots of pictures but it looks so cool!!

[twilit lintel]

@steep tulip yeah! Let me send you the dodo

[north schooner]

@harsh wing bold of you to assume I have 50 cents (jk)

[limber ginkgo]

@limber ginkgo DID MOLLY JUST SHOT AT RENEIGH
@plain forge yes HAHAHA ducks are aggressive 🥺

[harsh wing]

@north schooner well u shouldn't be playing animal crossing then hahaha

[finite pumice]

@limber ginkgo they really are lol

Did any of you happen to do (or know somebody) that did like a mini carnival or theme park area. I’m trying to figure out what to add for my “rides” section. All I have is a tea cup, horse rocker, a spinning wheel & a stand 😅

[harsh wing]

Well that's rly all the items u can put there. What u can do is cross the theme park idea with an arcade or casino. Thaz would give u more options

[plain forge]

I did Santa Monica Pier sorta! @finite pumice

[twilit lintel]

@finite pumice I put a small section on my boardwalk. This picture is a bit outdated. But there’s a cotton candy stall thing right across the pinball machines.

[plain forge]

walkthrough (old video tho I changed/added a few items)

[finite pumice]

I have it in 3 sections lol the first section is the entrance then the food area and then the rides

[limber ginkgo]

I got rid of my arcade machines because you can't turn off the sound 😔

[finite pumice]

I’m def going to add some arcade games for sure

[plain forge]

I'm sad they don't have a ferris wheel so I used the colorful wheels lmaoooo

[finite pumice]

That’s my food section of “Dreamland”

[woeful ravine]

i made a little smoothie bar area! rosie is already enjoying it haha
what can i add to it?

[twilit lintel]

@woeful ravine its kinda hard to tell from that angle. i dont know what else is around it

[plain forge]

@woeful ravine coconut juiceeee

[harsh wing]

@woeful ravine plants

[steep tulip]

@woeful ravine if you want, maybe add some stuff on top of the tables,

[twilit lintel]

@woeful ravine oh yeah, add coconut juices

[steep tulip]

@woeful ravine coconut juice on top of the tables and some potted plants around them!!

[ionic bolt]

Slowly working on my town halls look

[finite pumice]

I need the glowing mushrooms so bad 😅

[woeful ravine]

@woeful ravine its kinda hard to tell from that angle. i dont know what else is around it
@twilit lintel one sec l'll get a better angle

[woven drift]

Does anybody have any campsite ideas/ builds? I'm planning to amp up my little campsite area and wanted some inspiration.

[woeful ravine]

also ty for the tips everyone!

[harsh wing]

@finite pumice 50 cents a piece online

[twilit lintel]

@woven drift

[harsh wing]

@woven drift typical stuff: surrounded by nature, wood stakes & country fences, campfire, wood furniture, weed and flowers, I prefer tiki torches, campsite sign,

[wicked cypress]

Hey guys. If I put the house on top of the sand path, is it going to be similar to this? Wanna make sure before I move my house again.

[wet ore]

I just got Diana on my island. What did you guys do for her yard?

[muted trellis]

Hey guys. If I put the house on top of the sand path, is it going to be similar to this? Wanna make sure before I move my house again.
@wicked cypress yes, it will be that way again.

[twilit lintel]

@wicked cypress you cant put paths underneath the house

[wicked cypress]

Thanks @muted trellis and @twilit lintel that really unfortunate :((( thanks for answering ❤️️

[woven drift]

Hey guys. If I put the house on top of the sand path, is it going to be similar to this? Wanna make sure before I move my house again.
@wicked cypress If you've unlocked moving your mailbox, you can put a path underneath your stairs up to your house, but I'm pretty sure nothing else can change that

[twilit lintel]

@woven drift yeah thats what i mean. only up to the stairs. but anything else you cant

[woven drift]

Thanks @muted trellis and @twilit lintel that really unfortunage :((( thanks for answering ❤️
@wicked cypress Very unfortunage lol

[wicked cypress]

@wicked cypress Very unfortunage lol
@woven drift sorry for the typo

[violet gale]

I have this area for Apollo and Celia (Im moving Celias house into the spot on the right) Although I can't quite figure out what to do in the spaces infront of their houses. Any ideas?

[wicked cypress]

@wicked cypress If you've unlocked moving your mailbox, you can put a path underneath your stairs up to your house, but I'm pretty sure nothing else can change that
@woven drift thank youuuu

[vague sail]

any ideas on what i should add in this spot :/

my island is mainly pink and some blue too :3

[twilit lintel]

@violet gale give her maybe a small greenhouse

@vague sail thats a tiny area to work with...i would just either add more paths or widen the area to the left of your character. unless u meant the beach area

[cinder depot]

it's going to take me five days to move and install the remaining bridges/inclines and houses but after that i'm officially done with the terraforming never thought i'd get here

[twilit lintel]

@cinder depot TIME TRAVEL lololol

[plain forge]

I have this area for Apollo and Celia (Im moving Celias house into the spot on the right) Although I can't quite figure out what to do in the spaces infront of their houses. Any ideas?
@violet gale it looks fine the way it is imo, but you can try to make it more of a driveway type thing by parking a car bed in front of each house :)

[cinder depot]

i'm so tempted @twilit lintel tbh hahaha

but five days isn't terrible

[twilit lintel]

@cinder depot i have no patience with that honestly. i would TT

[finite pumice]

@vague sail a cotton candy machine maybe? A pink one

[flat leaf]

Does anyone have a playground

[twilit lintel]

@cinder depot 5 days is too many

[finite pumice]

I do. I want a different colored one. Mines is all white

[twilit lintel]

@finite pumice #furniture-trade will set u up with one probably lol

[violet gale]

Whilst I am here, hows my entry?

[muted trellis]

@flat leaf my playground is a little dark but here it is.

[rich prairie]

Can anyone give me some ideas for my entrance?, i have the Nook hall near to the airport... i need some inpiration

[copper valley]

@violet gale I love that you created a sort of story with your villagers running for mayor that’s so cute lol

[harsh wing]

@violet gale where's Kanye?

[muted trellis]

Made a stargazing area. Any tips or suggestions? My theme is darker and gothic.

[woeful ravine]

here's the cafe from upper view :)

[violet gale]

Haha yeah, I even created a mayoral area for their houses, although I still needa get Punchy so that area is complete.

[twilit lintel]

@woeful ravine can the cypress plant move over to the right more? if not, then move your table set to the left. actually shift the entire table sets to the left if thats the case

[woeful ravine]

it can't, let me try to move the tables

[twilit lintel]

@woeful ravine maybe if you want to add more dimensions. give it a ironwood kitchnette or cupboard. rather than just stalls lined up along the cliffs

[woeful ravine]

should i add the ironwood cupboard instead of stalls? also, the cypress plant still won't move

[twilit lintel]

@woeful ravine nahh, push the stalls forward and put it in inside. something like this maybe. my kitchen cupboard and kitchenette is lined up against the fence. but it gives it dimension if you know what i mean

[woeful ravine]

ohh yeah i get that, i think i'll have to make the cafe bigger but ill try to make it work

[twilit lintel]

@woeful ravine maybe just turn the tables instead?

[jagged laurel]

My sister really likes Starbucks so I decided to try to make one for her

[woeful ravine]

yeah maybee

[split spire]

What does everyones residential area look like im at a lost for what to do with mine

[pseudo geode]

Getting rid of flowers what should I do with this area?

[twilit lintel]

@split spire i scattered my villagers because they can have their own themed areas while also being able to explore the island a lot more

[finite pumice]

@split spire for me I put all my villagers in the same area and created stone fences to separate them. Along with putting trees, a log chair and some flowers

[split spire]

I ment the center not the homes im sorry!

[jagged laurel]

Mine are all together but I plan on moving them

[finite pumice]

Like this

[vernal oxide]

@split spire I put instruments since the villagers are always singing and it’s cute when they play them

[split spire]

Thats really cute

[modest creek]

I just made this little area I really like it🥰

[jagged laurel]

Man your islands look so good mine looks terrible

[finite pumice]

I can’t see the video. I’m on my phone. Maybe it’ll play through a computer

[spring drift]

@jagged laurel you’ll get there

[marsh orchid]

Jane that’s adorable, I love it

[twilit lintel]

@split spire mine is basic. needed something tamed while the rest of my island is fully decorated

[burnt gorge]

I wish you could put rugs outside

[woven drift]

Looking for ideas to do with all my space things ? Drawing blanks frustrated lol

[finite pumice]

Omg guys! I just found out my island is 5 stars 😭. I just now talked with Isabel. My decorating has helped apparently

[pseudo geode]

@woeful ravine nahh, push the stalls forward and put it in inside. something like this maybe. my kitchen cupboard and kitchenette is lined up against the fence. but it gives it dimension if you know what i mean
@twilit lintel are those custom cakes or what for the sushi?

[jagged laurel]

I’m really struggling with terraforming do you guys have any tips

[twilit lintel]

@pseudo geode custom designed hats

[vernal oxide]

@burnt gorge I used a custom path for my library to make it like a rug 🙃

[twilit lintel]

@jagged laurel its all trial and error honestly

[woven flax]

i searched up like terraforming inspiration and that helped a lot

[dusky lake]

So I have this area on my island, but I want to put something on the raised platform. What should I put up there?

[proven gazelle]

Does my airport entry look ok?

[trim trellis]

Tree? @dusky lake

[woven flax]

a well would look good up there i think

[drowsy nacelle]

Anyone have a campsite I could see for inspiration?! I'm redoing mine and am a little stuck

[harsh adder]

I have separate sections and zones on my island and I love the idea of connecting them via roads ie paths that appear on the map, any inspo on how to lead/link sections to each other?

[twilit lintel]

@drowsy nacelle

[exotic light]

this is the only part of my island that I’m decorating atm because I’m planning to move everything else; how does it look so far? (Ik my house doesn’t fit the look I’m going for, I’m planning to eventually change it) (:

[jagged laurel]

Are you able to move your ponds like the cliff side one without it changing the fish there

[woven flax]

i can send a picture later but at my camp site i used like the garden fountain clothes like and basket stuff to make an outdoor laundry area and it looks really cute @drowsy nacelle

[twilit lintel]

@harsh adder you can come to my island to see how i did mine. my overall theme is tropical resort. but i have different themed areas that are connecting

[finite pumice]

You guys are making my wish I did some kind of “entry port”. But now I don’t feel like it 😅

[drowsy nacelle]

@twilit lintel thank you that's really cute!🤗

@woven flax thank you that sounds adorable I'd love to see it!!

[vernal oxide]

Okay Merengue’s bakery is officially open! 🥳

[twilit lintel]

@vernal oxide so freaking adorable!!!!!!!

[spring drift]

Envy so cute but in the first pic the big square in between the counters are weird

[jagged laurel]

Would anyone be able to let me come to there island to try to find inspiration for mine

[twilit lintel]

@jagged laurel youre more than welcome to come to mind

[vernal oxide]

@spring drift I had it connected but then I wanted to use the counter chairs. I haven’t been able to figure out what could go there and fit well. Even to put something on it. If you have suggestions I’m all ears

[jagged laurel]

@twilit lintel alright

[winged thorn]

Does anyone have any pictures of like a pirate area with the new Gulliver stuff?

[plain forge]

@twilit lintel ooo since ur opening ur island can I come just to visit 🤩

[twilit lintel]

@winged thorn lmao

@plain forge of course!!!

[finite pumice]

@vernal oxide that’s so nice! I need to come check it out sometime

[primal tartan]

ideas on where to put moons? i have forests etc but idk where to implement them

[winged thorn]

Also what should I do with this open space?

[frail elm]

@winged thorn my area

[finite pumice]

My friends put hers right at the entrance in between the trees @primal tartan

[vernal oxide]

@finite pumice yes!!! Once I actually get more of my island done I’ll definitely open it for people to come look at!

[primal tartan]

Also what should I do with this open space?
@winged thorn a restaurant kinda thing seating

[wild frost]

Lf ideas on a market place / store

[twilit lintel]

@vdo29#3827

[wild frost]

Ty!

[woven drift]

My island is still a work in progress but here’s the area outside my house! Im kinda proud of how it turned out?? (I tried to upload the video of it but it didn’t work😞)

[low frost]

In honor of my Island which I decided to destroy and redo since I hated the layout lol

[dry acorn]

So I have this area on my island, but I want to put something on the raised platform. What should I put up there?
@dusky lake a moon!

[long stream]

Been designing my island all day, here's what a part of it looks like

Still a WIP, what should I add

[thin wedge]

Anyone have secret beach ideas?

[boreal solstice]

in case yall need inspo for an entrance close to RS

[twilit lintel]

@thin wedge not mine. but its probably my favorite

[thin wedge]

@twilit lintel wow that’s amazing, I don’t have the items for that tho 😓😓

[finite pumice]

I’m getting the judge to terraform for my entrance. But I’m going to leave it alone and just ad some stuff

[twilit lintel]

@thin wedge #furniture-trade or nookazon. thats what helped me get my items to create my version of it.

[thin wedge]

@thin wedge #furniture-trade or nookazon. thats what helped me get my ideas to create my version of it.
@twilit lintel got it, thank you so much !!

[finite pumice]

*the urge

[hidden gyro]

Hey just got the statue of liberty. Any ideas on what to do with it?

[rich prairie]

put it on a island near to new york

[twilit lintel]

@hidden gyro heres this one. not mine tho

[plain forge]

Hey just got the statue of liberty. Any ideas on what to do with it?
@hidden gyro recreation of ny or in front of a museum, etc. Here's an inspo (not my pic)

Also, Vegas area would be cool. They have miniature verisons of landmarks and Gullivar items works super well

[rancid spire]

I have a ton of decoy ducks. What should I do with them? I have a massive empty area behind my resident services and not a clue what to put in it

[hidden gyro]

Wow, those are nice. Thank you

[plain forge]

@rancid spire perhaps a duck pond; ducks gather in flocks near water

[rancid spire]

@rancid spire perhaps a duck pond; ducks gather in flocks near water
@plain forge thatd be pretty cool :PP I wish I could put them on the water

[plain forge]

@rancid spire yeah :( but this is the next best thing if you want some "on" water (pic not mine)

[rancid spire]

😮 that’s so cute!

[alpine pumice]

Takes notes

[inner quartz]

Can anyone show me ideas or give me some tips on decorating my villager yards?

[twilit lintel]

@inner quartz who are you looking for in particular?

[fringe heron]

Very curious but has someone surrounded their villagers with cliffs?

Just wanna know and see an example.

[twilit lintel]

@inner quartz heres some of mine. but they arent in yards. they are in themed areas

@fringe heron mine is not done well since my terraforming skills is very lacking. but heres julians cove right in front of secret beach

[vernal oxide]

@fringe heron I did with Tia. Didn’t decorate much since I was doing other things. And I’m planning to build the cliff up on the right side

[mortal nymph]

Double Southern Rivers is Killing Me...I want to extend the river horizontally across the map without it looking, like, incredibly stupid & I'm at a loss -__- I'm also not Super happy with Nooks & Ables Locations so just ignore that they're even there. I would love suggestions or feedback- I'm very stuck with what to do with this.

[twilit lintel]

@mortal nymph lmao honestly. i took mine out. its probably the worst.

[fringe heron]

@twilit lintel @vernal oxide It's fine if it wasn't done, I was curious since I'm working on surrounding Dobie with cliffs!

Thank you for showing what you did!

[vernal oxide]

@mortal nymph I covered up my bottom left bottom river mouth!

[plain forge]

@fringe heron I've made an area for dobie where he is semi hidden between two cliffs for his ~peaceful~ retirement area, but I still need to move him in once I get his amiibo so it's not complete yet haha. Pics hopefully soon

[mortal nymph]

@vernal oxide @twilit lintel omg I'm so glad it's not just me 😂 I'm def going to use your maps as refs thank you so much

[twilit lintel]

@mortal nymph no problem!!! whats your theme? that might help

[fringe heron]

@plain forge
Thanks! If you can, can you ping me when you show the pics? (also we have the same idea, hahaha. I gave Dobie a retirement home and its next to a huge bamboo garden.)

[inner quartz]

@inner quartz who are you looking for in particular?
@twilit lintel

Sherb, Ketchup, Punchy, Hornsby, or Dierdre. They all have relatively little space compared to any of those except maybe Julian

[royal shard]

Anyone have anything like an orchard with an area for growing crops and such?

[mortal nymph]

@twilit lintel my theme is.....Inconsistent 😂 (aka Chaotic Coture aka I don't know what I'm doing)

[woven drift]

some areas on my island that i’m actually proud of

[plain forge]

@fringe heron of course! I'm hoping that his card comes soon bc I need this precious old wolf in my life

[twilit lintel]

@inner quartz this is julians area on my island. i dont know too much about the other characters, but i based their yards on their house and personality. a lot of people put flowers on their yards

[vernal oxide]

@mortal nymph a MOOD. I have no theme 😂

[fringe heron]

@plain forge
You're atleast getting his hard. I had to get him through villager trades.

Hopefully you'll get that card soon and you'll be happy with Dobie!

[mortal nymph]

Chaotic 👏 Coture 👏 2020 👏 😂

[vernal oxide]

@royal shard I don’t think I have what you’re looking for but I gave my orchard a bee farm which is all behind my smoothie bar! Maybe it’ll help with inspo!

[woeful ravine]

does anyone know how to place tables and chairs without it looking weird? aha i'm stuck

[twilit lintel]

@woeful ravine what are you having trouble with specifically about the tables?

[plain forge]

@fringe heron yes tyyy 💕 I don't like the villager trading scene bc people always overprice plus my amiibo for him was like $1 so tots worth it ~~

[wet ore]

What is the best way to transfer to a new area? The left leads to my neighborhood and the stairs is my campground.

[woeful ravine]

the placement of the whole thing, should it be in the middle etc

[versed wadi]

@mortal nymph

[vernal oxide]

@woeful ravine I think if you mix up where the seating is it looks really good! This is Marshal’s cafe. I have chairs going in different directions! (If that helps)

[fringe heron]

@plain forge

Ugh, so lucky!!

I'd buy all the villager cards if I wanted to but I'm afraid of taking risks. You're really lucky that you're getting Dobie's card! $1 is definitely worth the wait.

[twilit lintel]

@woeful ravine i dont think they have to be in the middle precisely. i make them uneven at times. do you wanna visit mine to see how i placed them?i have different setups

[woeful ravine]

sure!

[burnt panther]

@hidden gyro I used my statue of liberty on the back of my island. To make it look like it's far away from another island. Beside it is a city being invaded by godzilla. Haha

[woeful ravine]

@vernal oxide Ty!

[plain forge]

@fringe heron same, it took me a while to decide to buy amiibo bc of it! People are just greedy sometimes 🤧 but at least you have him now, he's an amazing grandpa 💕

[versed wadi]

My favourite screenshot I have is of Dobie

[fringe heron]

@plain forge
Dobie and Cashmere are basically the grandma and grandpa of my island.

[plain forge]

We need a national Dobie appreciation day ✨✨✨

@fringe heron I've never seen Cashmere before until you started posting her, and she is yet another great grandma figure 💫 I would pick her* up too if I didn't already have a sheep (Dom)

[shadow tangle]

Show me your zen garden, I need inspo!!

[abstract kelp]

Thoughts on Bob's yard? He's an entomologist since he loves bugs so much!

[potent cobalt]

I think it’s perfect!

[abstract kelp]

Thank youu!

[stuck trail]

@abstract kelp super cute an artisanal bug cage would fit the theme perfectly if you had one / could find room!

[abstract kelp]

@stuck trail I want one so badly but I haven't got one or been able to find it yet 😭

[final umbra]

@abstract kelp maybe add a microscope on the desk and place a nice looking net nearby?

[fringe heron]

@plain forge
I saw someone hate on her here before and I felt bad. I added her to my island and I think I prefer her over Vesta now.
Yes, she's the best grandma figure and she fits with my island. ^^

[abstract kelp]

@final umbra Ooooo amazing idea thank you! He had some nets but I forgot to place them back down 😂 thanks for reminding me!

[tulip slate]

could someone please help me like i need it d e s p e r t l y 😔

[tough nimbus]

hi guys how are ya?

[remote spindle]

^needs more cowbell

[hidden gyro]

lolol @burnt panther that's brilliant!

[twilit lintel]

@tulip slate what do you need help with?\

[plain forge]

@fringe heron yeah ppl sometimes hate on the less "cute" looking villagers i remember when I had Marcel a friend of mine said he was ugly/creepy but he was such a sweetheart! Kept him for my Japanese theme but gave him away when I switched to city 🤧 I miss him. Cashmere is a babe don't let anyone tell u different ✨

[fringe heron]

@plain forge
I actually spoiled Cashmere by giving her a huge yard. It's an old pic since I tore it down but lemme find it!
(also marcel is cute.)

[steep tulip]

WHAT?! i love marcel

also @plain forge do you have any videos or pictures of your island or island map? i don’t believe i’ve seen it

[tulip slate]

@twilit lintel i just need help with my island layout ^^ where i can place houses and such

[hidden gyro]

Alright this is what I whipped up for the statue of liberty! Thanks for inspo. I already had this lake waterfall thing going so I just tossed it in the middle but I think it came out pretty good!

[tulip slate]

@twilit lintel here’s a better view

[vernal oxide]

@tulip slate you could do like @twilit lintel did on her island and spread out her villagers. Or do a neighborhood like in the picture

[tulip slate]

ah thank you ^^

[half palm]

Oof I’m in the process of doing 2!!!

[tulip slate]

i’m gonna do number 1 since i kinda have it like that-

[lunar copper]

ok what do i actually put here-

[vernal oxide]

@lunar copper there’s a huge list of ideas in the pinned section!

[plain forge]

also @plain forge do you have any videos or pictures of your island or island map? i don’t believe i’ve seen it
@steep tulip yeah ofc! It's not done yet but it's kinda half city half nature-y :)

[rancid spire]

You guys inspired me and now I’m making a massive duck pond

[vernal oxide]

@rancid spire ducks are the best. There’s this puddle custom path you can use to plop ducks on top of if you have space!

[fringe heron]

Found it! This is a very old pic so if someone uses it for inspo, then I don't mind. (it was sadly torn down.)

[small pulsar]

does anyone have a dark cottagecore sort of vibe to their island? if so i’d be interested in taking a tour!

[rancid spire]

I wish I could turn them an eighth rotation instead of a quarter rotation so it looks more natural :(((

[twilit lintel]

@twilit lintel here’s a better view
@tulip slate i think placing villagers all around rather than one area gives it a natural feel. i started with one area at a time.

[plain forge]

@fringe heron I went ahead and snapped a few pics of the entrance to Dobie's countryside home! The street leads to his house, and the whole area between the cliffs going allll the way to the ocean will be his bc I love him... there's also a bookstore in front that's connected to him too, so he's the owner 😂 alsssso he's gonna have an outdoor study/writing area facing the ocean! Once I move him in and finish the surroundings I'll take a complete video and ping you! ✨

[long stream]

Just designed a map wut wut! It's not for me so feel free to use it

[tulip slate]

@twilit lintel ah okay, i’m trying to go for a cottagecore aesthetic type . so do you think i should do that?

[muted trellis]

does anyone have a dark cottagecore sort of vibe to their island? if so i’d be interested in taking a tour!
@small pulsar I kinda do, but it isn't fully cottagecore, just took some inspo from cottage core for the entrance and some areas of my island. it also isn't fully finished yet. slowly working on it still.

[twilit lintel]

@tulip slate yeah for sure! cottagecore is very natural. so i would scatter them

[fringe heron]

@plain forge
Aw, that looks cute! Hopefully Dobie will enjoy his new home.

and thank you! I try my best to recreate it but I can't recapture that cozy feeling anymore. I instead gave that to Dobie!

[rain glen]

I put 6 in an urban area and then spread the remaining 4 around the island

[tulip slate]

@twilit lintel ah okay ^^ thank you

[tough nimbus]

guys anyone good designing residential areas?

[plain forge]

@fringe heron ty! Old Gramps is gonna be treated well by us 🤩💕

[west bison]

How do you design the whole island like that

[twilit lintel]

@tough nimbus

[finite pumice]

I’m having too much fun with panels now that I know how to use them

[blazing pagoda]

Ohh my god can u center this or not

[twilit lintel]

@west bison trial and error @blazing pagoda you cannot. the ramp is 2x1 and the museum is 7x4

[blazing pagoda]

o my god okay thank u

[west bison]

No I mean how do you literally format the island, like picking up land and stuff

[rain glen]

I was gonna make a rice paddy farm but I realised I had no more slots

[tough nimbus]

thanks @twilit lintel

[twilit lintel]

@west bison pick up land? like on the happy designer app? or like actually terraform land?

[tough nimbus]

hmm i would like to have someone visit mee so they can see the mess i made please

[twilit lintel]

@tough nimbus theres also this. just post it on here and we'll all see lol

[west bison]

Terraforming—- is that something I have to unlock?

[twilit lintel]

@west bison yes. you get that after kk slider comes

[finite pumice]

@west bison once KK comes to your island you’ll get it

[icy flint]

Really don’t wanna play animal crossing because Ik terraforming awaits

[tough nimbus]

if its not too much asking

[west bison]

Got it

[vernal oxide]

Okay NOW Merengue’s area is done 😇 I know there’s a big grass space, just shhh. Let it live

[tight onyx]

can anyone come to my island and help me with designing?

[shrewd condor]

Would anyone be willing to show me what it looks like around your residence services center? I’m struggling to decorate the area 😩

[limber ginkgo]

😂

[vernal oxide]

@shrewd condor this is in front of my RS!

[fallow shadow]

would a picture of my hybrid garden go here or garden science discussion? im not sure

[hidden bough]

What could I do for big top the villain elephant’s yard? It’s a 3x5 area

[upper tusk]

Someone please help me out with this area!!

[stuck trail]

@austere nimbus are you looking for something like what @icy flint did?

[austere nimbus]

@stuck trail ooh yes ty!

[icy flint]

I can send a pic of the before to see the transition @austere nimbus

[austere nimbus]

@icy flint that'll be great!

[plain forge]

yall.. pictures of a way to block off a side of the entrance?
@austere nimbus something like this? (not my pic)

[austere nimbus]

ooh ok!

[icy flint]

when bratty uses your pic to help other people out

[buoyant parrot]

any ideas how to improve my layout ??? I added what my original plans were but now I’m unsure

[icy flint]

with your plan i feel like as you go on you'll be bound to think of other ideas or want to change your past designs so in my opinion start off with a section and keep going with your plan and you can aways go back and switch something or think of something new @buoyant parrot

[limber ginkgo]

with your plan i feel like as you go on you'll be bound to think of other ideas or want to change your past designs so in my opinion start off with a section and keep going with your plan and you can aways go back and switch something or think of something new @buoyant parrot
@icy flint this is how I have so many hours, I keep going back to the oldest thing I've done and re-do it 😂

[stuck trail]

@buoyant parrot It looks like you have a good outline overall. my suggestion would be to consider how you could use more cliffs, maybe some of your villager neighborhood(s) could be one or two levels up

[icy flint]

we're all in the same boat lmao

[limber ginkgo]

I had a big elaborate museum setup and I'm still in the process of re-doing it

[icy flint]

yeah the museum was one of my recent works so right now i don't wanna touch it

Someone please help me out with this area!!
@upper tusk I think it looks fine overall :) you can try to add ~2 or so star clocks and turn them and they can illuminate the ground. Or add a leaf pile/blossom pile or some weeds if it's more of a natural area?

[finite pumice]

I know this looks weird but trust me the vision is there lol. I need to get some moon chairs and stars to fill the look

[icy flint]

feel like i need to lighten the mood; when bratty received a call from my school

[limber ginkgo]

my plan after the museum is re-do my rocks

I want to put them in a circle and create a gladiator-arena kind of thing

[icy flint]

had my headphones in and without thinking when i was clicking the vid i said shit the waterfalls and unplugged my headphones lmao

@limber ginkgo don't have a pic and forgot who it was but i saw a pic of a foundation or statue in the middle and the rocks in a circular formations with stone archs

feel like moving rocks to a certain location is a pain rather spend extra time finding my rocks but all for it if you wanna move them for a theme or to not have it visible

[limber ginkgo]

this'll be the 3rd time moving them for me

[icy flint]

oof

[carmine dust]

Hey anyone have a moon island reference?

[abstract kelp]

Update on Bob's entomology yard!

[mellow ice]

So many cool Layots !

[slate folio]

Just updated my campsite area, how does it look?

[icy flint]

wish big fish such as a shark or a whale can be put into a glass tank like old animal crossing rather than the open above ground pool thing

[limber ginkgo]

Yeah those pool things suck

[abstract kelp]

@slate folio I love the layout! Looks really good~

[slate folio]

Thank you ^^

[tulip sky]

I was thinking I might section off my island into different themes, anyone think that's a good idea?

[river cypress]

My little coffee shop

[limber ginkgo]

I was thinking I might section off my island into different themes, anyone think that's a good idea?
@tulip sky That's pretty much what I did

[tulip sky]

Really? Any chance you can DM me the map?

[cobalt ice]

Updated my nursery a tad bit 😊

[river cypress]

@cobalt ice prettyyy

[twilit lintel]

I was thinking I might section off my island into different themes, anyone think that's a good idea?
@tulip sky thats what i did! if you need to come over and see how i laid it out. lmk

[cobalt ice]

@river cypress tysm

[river cypress]

@twilit lintel lolol the Erik sticker

[twilit lintel]

@river cypress i needed to complete my map lmao. im eventually getting him. just had to cover up stitches. D:

[river cypress]

Noooo not stitches :(((

[twilit lintel]

@river cypress i know my poor baby, but he doesnt fit into my themed areas. so he sadly has to go

[river cypress]

@twilit lintel I miss him but I’m not planning on ever getting him back

[twilit lintel]

@river cypress once hes gone, hes gone. i dont go back for anyone ever lolol

[river cypress]

I made him a Winnie the Pooh area but bluebear fits if more imo

[limber ginkgo]

@tulip sky

[twilit lintel]

@river cypress if there was a reason i made someone leave, then it must be a good enough reason

[tulip sky]

@twilit lintel @limber ginkgo Thanks for maps! It really helps 😁

[icy flint]

constantly changing my map to the point that im not gonna screenshot my map until im further in

[arctic nimbus]

everytime i look here i start hating my own island lololol

[twilit lintel]

@icy flint yeah i didnt rly screenshot mine until i actually started laying it out.

[river cypress]

@river cypress if there was a reason i made someone leave, then it must be a good enough reason
@twilit lintel Periodt

[icy flint]

this is my most recent one but without the paths on top

[limber ginkgo]

I wish the map at least showed different colors for the paths 😂

[stuck trail]

@icy flint I actually wish I took pics of my map more as I was changing it, its really cool to be able to look back and see the progress and stages of building imo

[icy flint]

and my oldest one

@stuck trail well i do always take a before and after of the locations im doing like the marina and zucker cove and i sometimes screenshot my map after im done with that part as well

[median wasp]

what should i do with this open space behind the campsite?

[abstract kelp]

@median wasp Do you already have a campfire and seating area?

[woven drift]

@median wasp maybe do a park area?

[median wasp]

not yet!

[grave dome]

Trees. Layered tree s

[abstract kelp]

@median wasp I think a seating area + a campfire is great! with some flowers/bushes/trees

[median wasp]

i'll work on that! i have a house near the campsite i need to move, which is a way larger space too though, unsure what to do there too lol,,

[abstract kelp]

If you want a more natural feel to the campsite, adding some random weeds here and there is a good idea too!

[stuck trail]

@median wasp if you've unlocked terraforming, you could add some cliffs / trees in the back and put the bonfire / park area in the front (assuming that's the house being moved haha). that would help fill some space

[median wasp]

maybe i can put a little waterfall next to the bonfire,,

i'm new to terraforming, i literally JUST got it lmao- i have bought all the river and cliff things already though.

[twilit lintel]

@median wasp

[median wasp]

that's vv pretty

[limber ginkgo]

i'm trying to future-proof my museum.
hopefully the museum cafe datamine is real and hopefully it fits in this square

[weary vale]

@median wasp I just put a cliff behind mine to fill up the space 🙂

[median wasp]

i decided on a little waterfall back there! i'll get some log stools/benches and a bonfire, but atm i've gotta get some more pink flowers

[placid spindle]

Do you guys have any ideas on how i should design my cottagecore house? Im so lost 😭

[weary vale]

@placid spindle maybe #happy-home-designs could help?

[scenic blaze]

Morgan and I are in beach campsite club 🥰

[dusky tapir]

Hey! Anyone have stargazing areas or inspo? ♡

[placid spindle]

@weary vale Oh yeah, i forgot it exists

[vernal oxide]

@dusky tapir this is from my old island!

[dusky tapir]

Ooo pretty! I don’t have the nova lights yet but I love the aesthetic

[tulip mica]

Stone arch or lanterns? Which one looks better?

[stuck trail]

@tulip mica I would say stone arch, especially since you have the tall lanterns in the back (:

[soft plaza]

perhaps change the garden lanterns to streelamps instead

[tulip mica]

Thanks!

[limber ginkgo]

@dusky tapir I tried to go with a moon theme because my entrance is more fairycore inspired

[dusky tapir]

The space vibes are so cool, love the moon theme idea! Tysm

@dusky tapir heres one of stargazing areas

@river cypress its a patched glitched

[rich blade]

Hey guys, I wanna get an opinion on something. Firstly I'd like to state I never Time Travel as I like to enjoy the game day by day. Secondly I recently just unlocked Terraforming and have started to fix my island. As I was doing this I noticed something. My Resident Services was really close to the airport, and to top it off it was off center. Would it be wise to delete this save file and start a new one with a better island layout? I'd be losing all my villagers/clothing/furniture etc

[merry tinsel]

i did it twice but stored all my stuff on my friends island 😛

[muted trellis]

@rich blade I would mess around with terraforming around the entrance to see if you can make it work. if not, you can start over and leave stuff at a friends island (as mentioned above)

[shrewd condor]

@rich blade in my opinion, I think it would be best to try and work with it. Mine is also close and off center but I made it work out. To me it wasn’t worth losing everything and also I did not want to wait to unlock everything again!

[soft plaza]

@rich blade it depends if that closeness of the RS is gonna bother you, cause thereare some really creative ways people have made do with a close RS

[rich blade]

@shrewd condor May I see a photo of your airport entrance to see how you did it?

[astral phoenix]

My first lilly of the valley

[shrewd condor]

@rich blade sorry for the bad quality, but my RS is right behind that cliff to the left slightly!

[rich blade]

Hmm, Alright I may have to try something like that myself

[neon glen]

if u dont time travel then itll be really tedious and long to unlock terraforming again if u reset lol

[twilit lintel]

@rich blade my RS is off centered by 1. It’s on the right side

[shrewd condor]

Here is a better photo! Hope this helps ☺️

[soft plaza]

@rich blade I'd recommned looking at places like reddit or pintrest cause there are some great inspo there; heres one i found thats fairly close to the RS with an offcenter to the left https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/gqi2n8/took_me_3_hours_to_redo_my_entrance_just_wanted/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

[river cypress]

Lol I need to edit my entrance too

[noble cradle]

@true obsidian maybe some gold roses along the sides?

[half isle]

do you guys keep the same bridge through out your island or you put diff bridge depends on how it fits the place?

[noble cradle]

@half isle im going for like one certian theme, so im doing the same bridges

[river cypress]

Here’s my entrance c: I might add that pebble design!

[neon glen]

@half isle i like putting diff bridges depending on the theme!

[true obsidian]

@noble cradle Ill try that and see how it turns out tyty

[finite pumice]

@half isle same bridges for me

[noble cradle]

np! 😛 @true obsidian

[woven drift]

Which should I choose?

[noble cradle]

@woven drift Bottom right!!

[half isle]

@woven drift bottom left

[zealous valve]

@woven drift bottom left

[sinful kindle]

If you don't want short entrances then don't choose the one with the nearest resident services

[noble cradle]

yea I agree

[river cypress]

And choose ones with big beaches too

[gleaming sail]

Can someone help me please, it's been driving me crazy i messed up my river and got rid of it problem is that I don't remember what my old one looked like here's a picture does anyone have the same river? If you do could you send me pictures of it thank you.

[river cypress]

Cuz beaches are too small on the layout I chose

[finite pumice]

I choose the top left. I low key regret my decision. But I put too many hours in to start over

[sinful kindle]

I regretted using the near resident services one but thankfully I made a nice entrance

[neat turtle]

Train station bridge I made! (Although not very safe)

[vague sail]

can i see anyones picnic areas :3

[finite pumice]

I only regretted mine because of the layout it made terraforming a bit dreadful

[lament knot]

I wouldn’t pick a layout with 2 south rivers again! It’s difficult for me to make it natural and I do love a larger peninsula so I would choose bottom left ✨

[vernal oxide]

@vague sail this is old! I tore it down but maybe it’ll help with inspo!

[vague sail]

@vernal oxide ty :3 !

[finite pumice]

How many times do you all think you changed your island? I’m on my 5th change 😅

[vernal oxide]

@finite pumice between my new island and my old island. At least 7 times 😂

[noble cradle]

haha i would say probably twice lol @finite pumice

[river cypress]

Anyone have European themed areas? C:

[dry ibex]

[noble cradle]

@dry ibex Maybe add a little path to the right leading to a little private beach, or a picnic.

[river cypress]

What should I add here? C:

[dry ibex]

@noble cradle will do! tysm

[noble cradle]

@past sequoia!!

[dry ibex]

@river cypress i’d add maybe some white lilies

[gleaming sail]

Can someone help me please, it's been driving me crazy i messed up my river and got rid of it problem is that I don't remember what my old one looked like here's a picture does anyone have the same river? If you do could you send me pictures of it thank you.

[river cypress]

@dry ibex ah I’m not a fan of lilies 😅

[noble cradle]

@river cypress maybe some white mums?

Oooo yes!! That could work

[noble cradle]

@river cypress yaay!

If u have a cottage core theme or cute villager neighborhood can I pls visit and aimlessly wander around for inspo

[noble cradle]

@gleaming sail Hey so i had the same problem too. I just looked up a bunch of island formats and types. hope that helps! 🙂

[vernal oxide]

@gleaming sail if no one has the same map there’s island designer websites you can look for your specific island in the pinned section

[gleaming sail]

Im a visual person the problem is that I don't understand just looking at a map I need screenshots to show me step to step

@dapper thicket maybe add lamps? mush lamps or nova lights?

[noble cradle]

@gleaming sail hmm... maybe find the exact format, and move camera views?

[dapper thicket]

ooo good idea w mushroom lamps

[fallow apex]

Lol i dont TT so its gonna be a lonnnngg time till i get those diys

[upper tusk]

Anyone have an area where they put their moon item that they could show me?

[gleaming sail]

@noble cradle what do you mean? That is the complete unaltered version of my river

[noble cradle]

Hi!! I just finished my first design for my entrance I have every done w my island, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

[abstract kelp]

@dapper thicket Your entrance is really cute!

[dapper thicket]

thank you 🥺

[fallow apex]

@noble cradle lol i love it i thought you had like floating lights but now i see it

[vernal oxide]

@gleaming sail no one is going to be able to give you a step by step on how to do your river. You can try searching the chat to find someone else who might have a similar map. But all of it is trial and error

[neon glen]

@gleaming sail ^^^ waterscaping is trial and error, the best u can do is try to make a river and use that pic of your old rivers as a reference

[noble cradle]

@gleaming sail If you go to an island desginer website, you get to choose what ur design is/was for ur island. in the pic u sent it looks like u have most of ur river still there, so maybe go off of that?

[abstract kelp]

@upper tusk This is by Lidl! I've seen a lot of people putting them on cliffs or surrounded by flowers/waterfalls.

[gleaming sail]

@noble cradle in that picture my river is completely untouched

[noble cradle]

@gleaming sail Oh ok, its just basically trial and error.

[finite pumice]

I swear I can’t just commit to one idea 😅

[lilac shard]

Anyone have an area where they put their moon item that they could show me?
@upper tusk I put mine on this little bit of circular cliff that makes the entrance point to filbert (and erik's) yard

[upper tusk]

Thank you! @lilac shard @abstract kelp

[lilac shard]

i haven't really decorated behind it but it'll probably have more spacy stuff since my museum is up there

[brittle pagoda]

Looking for forested 5 star island for inspiration

[lilac shard]

:O celeste is up there

[shrewd condor]

Can I see some tailors and nooks inspiration?

[sterile tangle]

what type of flower and what color would go well in a Bamboo forest?

[lilac shard]

white cosmos

[stoic pawn]

i like white lilies with bamboo

[muted mulch]

I’m at a 3 star island with a water city theme. Any ideas to make it better?

[stuck seal]

Does anyone know where I should look to get inspiration for a packed urban themed island?

[stoic pawn]

pinterest and reddit are rly helpful

[dire tapir]

Anyone good at taking island pics?

[twilit lintel]

@dire tapir im not too bad i think

[dire tapir]

Looking to hire a "photographer"

[limber ginkgo]

I've more or less completed the upper boardwalk section of my museum! My plan is to have a few separate unique exhibits. I was going to use mermaid stuff in the beach area but the fish figures make more sense for the museum.

[weary depot]

Anybody have a tropical themed shopping area near the airport? Need inspo.

[twilit lintel]

@weary depot my whole island is tropical theme. i put a board walk technically if that will help

[half isle]

do you guys think this path is good with the bridge or should i change the path?

[plain forge]

@half isle imo this path looks the best with the brick bridge, if you're going for more natural you could try the dirt path :)

Pinged wrong person in first post 😅

[half isle]

im planning to put a fountain in the middle of it, do you think the dirt path would look good with it?

[twilit lintel]

@plain forge im starting a new island for my bf. its gonna be european theme

@plain forge since im obsessed with simple panels. i think it will be fun to do.

[plain forge]

im planning to put a fountain in the middle of it, do you think the dirt path would look good with it?
@half isle hmmm, I haven't seen a lot of fountain pics with the dirt unfortunately, I think it might look better if you put the fountain on grass or a stone path (in game or custom) and then have a dirt path around the fountain leading to the bridge? You should try it out both ways and see. Feel free to post pics for us!

[cerulean mist]

Anyone got ideas for my island

[half isle]

@plain forge ah i see tysm

[twilit lintel]

@cerulean mist whats your theme?

[plain forge]

@twilit lintel Ohhhh nice! The euro theme is so cute but I don't know enough about the aesthetic to be creative and do something unique

[twilit lintel]

@plain forge ive seen a few and just thought i love it. its definitely not as popular as cottage core or the other natural themes. but i think i can put my own twist on it. something a bit challenging

[plain forge]

@twilit lintel excited for you ✨ definitely send pics!

[twilit lintel]

@plain forge will do!

[weary depot]

@twilit lintel Okay, doesn't have to necessarily be by the airport but basically looking for tropical/beach themed shopping area that I'll probably have near my airport.

[steel jewel]

does anyone have orchard inspo? im blanking really hard

[twilit lintel]

@weary depot have you added a surf shack? fishing stall?

[tough nimbus]

I want to cryyyyyyyy

My residential area doesnt fit the 10 houses 7x7 T^T

[muted trellis]

I want to cryyyyyyyy

My residential area doesnt fit the 10 houses 7x7 T^T
@tough nimbus maybe move a couple off on their own?

[tough nimbus]

@muted trellis that's what ive been thinking though but i don't Know where :/ my island is a mess :c wanna visit and help me set up a spot?

And at this point i have been very frustrated on my island i just dont like how it looks :/ i am trying my best but i guess it just doesnt convince me

[weary depot]

@twilit lintel Not yet, I'm redoing my whole island again.

[woven drift]

What are some interior ideas for Judy and Raymond?? I want to gift them cute stuff to make their houses nicer.. and some other villagers too, but mostly them hehe

[zealous valve]

back when i had judy on my old island, i gifted her a bunch of cute and colorful items shown in this pic @woven drift

[woven drift]

@zealous valve oooh thank you! What is on the table? Do you remember what if’s called?

[zealous valve]

@woven drift should be a sewing kit i think?

[woven drift]

@zealous valve Thank you!

[crisp onyx]

i made a collage of the areas ive completed around my island!

[zealous valve]

for raymond, i gifted him a pet bed and pants press. avoid gifting him miscellaneous items @woven drift

[twilit lintel]

@weary depot ahh okay. if you ever wanna come see mine. lmk

[rough trench]

@crisp onyx wow! Do you happen to have the design codes for those panels on the garden shed😍

[crisp onyx]

i cant find the other one, but here's this :D @rough trench

[rough trench]

Thanks so much! @crisp onyx !!

[woven drift]

Dose anyone have ideas for something I can make on my island idk where to start i made an entrence the second picture it's the weird circle thing on the map i just have no idea where i should start making it

[crisp onyx]

of course!

[weary depot]

[fringe heron]

I'm planning on fixing up my resident services from the side but!

Should I move this structure and If I do, should I make it stay permanent here?

[woven drift]

@zealous valve why avoid miscellaneous? Just curious!

[mild musk]

Got a spark of creativity and did this next to my entrance UwU I know it’s not the best but I’m proud of it Bc I didn’t plan it or anything, I just started terraforming and this is where it lead me

Distance from my entrance

[fringe heron]

That looks so pretty!!
Though I'm so used to having trees on cliffs and near the falls that it looks odd.

It's still lovely though!

[limber ginkgo]

for raymond, i gifted him a pet bed and pants press. avoid gifting him miscellaneous items @woven drift
@zealous valve when I had him, he bought an open sign and a flea off me and they never left his house

even to this day, I gave him to a friend and he still displays the flea

[mild musk]

Tysm and yeah I tried to fit some trees but it just wouldn’t work

[gusty igloo]

Does anyone have a little marketplace using stalls layout I can see a pic of? Dm me!

[fringe heron]

I think it depends on how the cliff is made and how the trees fit.

[mild musk]

And I didn’t want to redo everything to do the glitch :( so I’ll just stick with what I have, and yeah there just isn’t a place big enough

[limber ginkgo]

Does anyone have a little marketplace using stalls layout I can see a pic of? Dm me!
@gusty igloo I got rid of a lot of these custo designs tho

[zealous valve]

@woven drift because the miscellaneous objects he already has fits his office theme really well and their placement is perfect the way they are so gifting him a miscellaneous object could potentially mess up the placement. i was very passionate about my villagers house interiors at a point lmao

[fringe heron]

I sorta do this whenever I use trees on my cliffs. Though it's a very small cliff compared to what you did. ^^;

[zealous valve]

@limber ginkgo that's why i'm very cautious when it comes to gifting them stuff, especially with clothes, i make sure they can actually wear it using harvey's island, or else you have an ugly mannequin in their house

[limber ginkgo]

I've stopped caring tbh I give them whatever I think will look cute (though I do also test at harv's for hats/glasses to be safe) but whatever goes on in their home is up to them and their funny interior design AI

[finite pumice]

@gusty igloo I do. Give me a sec and I’ll post them

[zealous valve]

@limber ginkgo idk it bothers me so much if it messes up their house, there was a point when i messed up one of my villagers houses and had to sell them and get a new one to move back in lmao

[woven drift]

@zealous valve got it!! This is what his house looks like right now.

[fringe heron]

Marshal is stuck with a butterfly in his house.

Though it's a very beautiful butterfly.

[woven drift]

He doesn’t have a laptop or computer lol. It’s so sad!

[zealous valve]

oh yikes @woven drift well at least the items you gifted him are fitting to his aesthetic

[last ferry]

Any ideas for what I could put here?

[finite pumice]

@last ferry tables

[compact wolf]

I redid my entrance.
For like the 5thousandth time 🤣
Anything I should add or change? Not sure what to put on the cliff behind Able Sisters

[zealous valve]

@last ferry instruments, wooden stools, amps since you got a little singing thing going on

[last ferry]

@finite pumice what ones would fit the plaza?

[finite pumice]

@last ferry garden tables could work if you have a DIY for it

[last ferry]

@zealous valve @finite pumice you guys think iron chairs and tables would be nice?

[zealous valve]

@last ferry i think natural garden table (square) and chair would fit better but that's just my opinion

[last ferry]

@zealous valve question is there also a garden chair diy

[finite pumice]

What they said

[zealous valve]

yah its called natural garden chair diy

[twilit lintel]

@last ferry a band area? i know @vernal oxide did hers like that

[zealous valve]

@last ferry or you could put lecture benches, gives it sort of a watching a performance kind of feel

[last ferry]

True

I hate how my entrance is near my resident services

[limber ginkgo]

there are nice entrances you can do with little space, but you don't really have a lot of freedom

[half isle]

for small entrances https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjWdRkd9HFI&t=80s

[finite pumice]

For @gusty igloo

[dense quail]

my very small entrace. i feel like i should add something. any suggestions?

[fringe heron]

@half isle
Thanks for sending that!

[shrewd condor]

Would it be weird to have a regular orchard and then just an apple orchard in two separate places on my island?

[versed wadi]

No, most IRL farms specialise in one crop

[zealous valve]

@dense quail destination signpost maybe if there's room

[half isle]

@fringe heron no problem :D i hope it helps you bc it really did for me

[slate olive]

did anyone do like a pirate themed area near redd’s boat? if u did, please send me some pics, i need to be inspired!!

[half isle]

I have a dilemma D: so I want to place a bridge in front of the museum but theyre not even, what would you guys do to hide/fix it?

[zealous valve]

@weary lintel made this @slate olive

[slate olive]

oh wow that looks really good and just wow 🤩🤩

may i know the code for the custom design?

[zealous valve]

@slate olive yeah they’re talented af

[willow bloom]

Anyone have resident area layout? 😍 how much spacing y’all giving to each villagers 🤔🤔 planning to have a mini yard for those villagers

[zealous valve]

@slate olive

[finite pumice]

@willow bloom I did all mines like this

[limber ginkgo]

Anyone have resident area layout? 😍 how much spacing y’all giving to each villagers 🤔🤔 planning to have a mini yard for those villagers
@willow bloom I gave all of mine 9x9s

[finite pumice]

@willow bloom

I did 6 x 9 I think

[slate olive]

@zealous valve thank you so much!! @weary lintel you are so creative like wow! thanks for the inspo!!

[willow bloom]

Thanksss! @finite pumice @limber ginkgo ! I’m still flattening my island but just want to get some ideas hehe so I can build the cliff for them. Was planning to put villagers on the cliff

[finite pumice]

That’s ultimately what I did too. I originally had them all around my resident services. Until I decided to move them all to one spot and on the hills like where I am

[twilit lintel]

@slate olive hey i just toured a pirate theme island and im uploading pictures for him on my twitter. youre more than welcome to check it out.

[versed wadi]

I ditched Audie a while back for Shep. I think he better personifies surf culture:)
