Any cool stargazing areas?
@frozen jolt I tried finding an area that looks like yours, but everything is so elaborate 😂
ikr its looks so nice!
You can place a lot of stuff. Seaweed, turtles, horseshoe crabs, fun fun!
Decided to work on my entrance area this morning ><
cute!
You can place a lot of stuff. Seaweed, turtles, horseshoe crabs, fun fun!
@amber moon Yea, i knew about the turtle and horseshoe crab. just didn't know about seaweed. it looks so good on my island. so hunting for more seaweed.
Ikr! I love the seaweed on the coastline !!!
Working on a cottage core island, any good ideas on how/ where to put villager homes??
@lunar cape i put mine in a forest ill send a pick!
Thank you!
Working on a cottage core island, any good ideas on how/ where to put villager homes??
@lunar cape Spread them out as you go in little themed type areas, so like foresty ones in a forest, beachy ones by the beach, ect.
Any examples or suggestions for what to do with this pathway? It leads to the graveyard
@lunar cape kinda just place them around iv only placed two so whatever feels right
Hey everyone, so I'm trying to make fake waterfalls since the third level of cliffs are completely inaccessible. I'm still trying to tweak the colours to match the actual colours but idk if it's worth the endeavor anymore. Anybody got tips?
I like that idea!
this is my cute little playground 💕!
okl small problem i have water right next to the spot
so how do i turn this into a cute seating area or something i really have no idea
Help! What do i do with all this spacee
@frozen jolt
@grave cloak I'd fill in the space around the path with flowers, maybe black hybrids?
I need ideas for merry's yard. I was going to make her a little stage. But that idea is kinda falling apart
okl small problem i have water right next to the spot
@frozen jolt
u should do a picnic area
i have one in the back haha
Should I add something else here?
@frozen jolt spread ducks around the edge of the water, add some flowers and trees?
good idea! cos i wanna add a smoll duck pond some how
yea, and you can add a iron garden bench and iron garden table with it so you can sit there as well.
@muted trellis hmm still looking for those diys lol
it's pretty ?
So cute
@muted trellis hmm still looking for those diys lol
@frozen jolt oh, a lot of people trade them in DIY trade channel. or you could probably find someone to craft them for you. I would but i don't have a way to be online today.
wow ok thanx for the advice!
I can make you decoy ducks if you want
I have a bunch of extra diys, but not the duck ;-;
@tardy pebble i feel that
No charge either, I like to help!
hi this is my map right now. i like acres A1 and A2 but i don’t know where to put the shops or whether to move the neighbourhood. can someone help me please.,, i also need advice on where to put an orchard
@stone magnet you can search "in:island-layout has:image map" to see what others have done with theirs to give you some ideas. i would suggest putting them where you can have easy access to them and if you invite people over a lot they can have access to your shops easily as well.
Any advice on what to do around resident services on a nature/ forest themed island?
anyone in here have forced perspective areas that look small/far off? looking for examples of how to block it off so you cant walk up to it at all, without losing a TON of island space
Other than adding pathing and flowers. How can I improve the museum? The beach is right next to it and my theme is natural!
Anyone have some pics of a beachy town? Preferably near the ocean? inspo would be greatly appreciated
Other than adding pathing and flowers. How can I improve the museum? The beach is right next to it and my theme is natural!
@carmine depot I think it looks good. you may be able to put a museum cafe along the beach to extend the museum area a bit.
Ooh ok! I will definitely try that. I plan on having a beachside cafe or a tiki bar so maybe I can make it work somehow. Thanks! :)
Some screenshots of Casperton, very happy with how it's coming along 
Would anyone mind sharing how they did their museum entrance/area? I need ideas 
I sent mine in to try and ask people for how to improve it so it’s not finished but you can see my rough idea if you scroll up a bit! :) (I’m yet to add paths and flowers!)
Its coming along great! I think if you add water fall(s) and perhaps some statues it would look really nice, but that’s just an idea! That’s what I plan on doing anyways
my museum is not the typical "grand museum entrance"
Anyone have any pictures of double South maps with a natural feel?
@scenic blaze I actually really like what you did with the area. It turned out beautiful
Here’s mine rn
So many lotv’s
I’ve kept my island at 5 ⭐️ since it became 5 ⭐️. I have so many LOTV lol
Lf simple waterfalls, I suck at terraforming them so I wanna see some that are cute yet easy to make 🥺
@echo rose I started a natural look and it makes me so happy now, still in the process of moving things around
@echo rose I started a natural look and it makes me so happy now, still in the process of moving things around
@main wren It’s beautiful! Here’s my map (bit of an older pic) I just got terraforming and have no Idea where to start ;-;
Making a monster scene behind my theme park today! So far so good. I ordered some little cars to put down there tomorrow. Maybe it needs more fire?
@echo rose I struggled with symmetry for a long time then someone on here convinced me not to restart my game and start looking at natural looks and I just started doing random terraforming where I felt like it, I’ve stopped trying to plan and that’s what I have so far and it’s going well. I hope that made sense 🥰
@muted sorrel Looks great! I say add more fire there’s never enough 😂
@muted sorrel I agree there’s never enough fire
Marshal’s tiny coffee shop
Thanks! I'll put more in lol
I need help ! I have all this blank space and no idea what to do with it. Literally none. Everything I try I hate. Some inspiration or ideas would@be greatly appreciated 😊
@reef geyser what’s your theme
@reef geyser I’m currently trying to make a medieval style island and I base all of my ideas off that
@reef geyser what’s your theme
@stoic stirrup ahh I don’t really have one I guess thinking about it
@reef geyser tikki bar is a fun idea or a farm or have a field full or flowers
@reef geyser I’m currently trying to make a medieval style island and I base all of my ideas off that
@stoic stirrup well maybe a celestial island. Planning on a moon pond and I need more Celeste diys but like I said all I try never works lol
@reef geyser do you have the supplies for that? If not I would recommend going to marketplace
@reef geyser that is a start keep going with the idea!
@reef geyser that is a start keep going with the idea!
@stoic stirrup I’m trying lol can’t seem to get the diys I need and Celeste never shows for some reason 😂 but I’m defiantly determined. Just with so much space I did t know if I would get inspired for something else lol
@reef geyser usually people on island visits are letting people visit for celeste, sometimes even for free. ^-^
Hey! I am making a little restaurant (kinda Lika cafe caturra style/Panera style) and I need some inspiration for outdoor seating and indoor seating!
can a fishing thing like this be considered fitting for a natural theme? just a question! I sadly don't wanna make these items go to waste. ^^;
I have this area next to my entrance and I have no idea what to do with it can someone please give me any ideas ?
can a fishing thing like this be considered fitting for a natural theme? just a question! I sadly don't wanna make these items go to waste. ^^;
@fringe heron yea, i think it is considered natural. since its natural to go fishing in this game? ^-^'
@muted trellis
I just didn't wanna make it feel too sushi-bar-ish. hahaha.
@muted trellis
I just didn't wanna make it feel too sushi-bar-ish. hahaha.
@fringe heron That is fair, i dont think it feels too sushi-bar ish. but you could probably put a custom design on the stall if you dont like it the way it is.
I need ideas for how to design/place the outside of my house 😔
@muted trellis
Ah, thank you! :)
Just wanted to see if I managed to capture a more fishing spot area rather than it being sushi related
tysm for your input!
This will be my second attempt at creating a layout. The orange spots will be restaurants/stores and the area above the sand rectangle is a maze with a cemetery. The theme is (hopefully) a town with a dark past.
does anyone have some inspo for a cottagecore themed able sisters shop and nooks cranny?
@past sedge when i designed my house area, i wanted it towards the center of my map so i could get around quickly. i used to have it in a remote corner but it took foreverrrrr to get from one side of the island to the other. here's where mine is in comparison to everything else
@scenic blaze thank you!
What shoild i put between the fences no bushes i already teted it
@placid matrix you could do stone fences or the iron&stone fences
True
Museum entrance/plaza
Having a really hard time with "neighborhood" layout and spacing! Can you guys show me your neighborhood layouts?
@sinful stream I loveeee the bordering you used. If you have the code can you dm it to me? 👀
@empty mesa I actually didn’t do a neighborhood I spread mine all over but this might help!
@empty mesa here is my map with my neighborhood. I gave each of them a big area for their yard so like 10 wide and 7 deep.
Thanks! ❤️ Idk why I'm having such a hard time with this! haha
@empty mesa it may help to use fencing to measure it out before moving the houses. That way none of them are off by 1 space.
I've been trying to make dirt grids to get the layout just right. I think I just dont hve enough space honestly. need to move some stuff around!
@empty mesa good luck. I know I struggled with it.
@empty mesa Are you set on having your villagers in a neighbourhood?
Been doing some more planning - making a cute little area for one of my villagers (still need to decide who out of Coco, Tangy, Apollo, Deirdre, Fauna, Punchy, Scoot, Vivian, Merengue and Marshal)
It's the area to the left - what do yall think about it so far? It's going to connect to the beach and will go past an informative statue or stonehenge since I think they look pretty neat, and I'll probably build a path that goes up behind it to connect to my house (gonna be across the west river)
@versed wadi Yeah! I had my villagers spread out before, which wasn't bad! But I'm redesigning my island and honestly there just isnt room for them to be spread out anymore! haha
@empty mesa I have all my villagers in a neighborhood but i didnt give them a set space for yards, and didnt align them perfectly. It gave me a lot more flexibility on designing their yards to be unique to their house exterior/personality, and less stress on making things 100% perfect !!
@storm bluff Oh I love their yards! That's my biggest concern! Making their yards unique to them
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/681277827244621855/735373853399973978/20200721_225234.jpg i posted this yesterday but never really got an opinion on it, what do yall think of my food truck (outdoor generator and campfire behind it to give it some cool audio effects). I also didn't have tires so i used kettlebells
100% the best thing about that is how organic it looks. I thnk the design of the fences in this game can make yards look claustrophobic.
if you wrap them all around the house
Hi guys! I’m back on my grandma’s phone lol
trueee, i mean there's nothing wrong with giving your villagers the same space (like 11x7 for every plot) but i sometimes find that limiting in terms of design, especially if you want to make all the yards look different~
Any suggestions on what to do with these awkward places?
@versed wadi yea, that is why I gave my villagers such big yards. So I can decorate each individually and still have some space so it doesnt look crowded.
I’ve been working hard on my front entrance of my island.
@real pumice if you scroll through the pinned posts there's a list of ideas you might find helpful for that space!
a little post office inspo
@real pumice maybe a celeste exhibit? Or some small extension of your museum?
When you want to keep flowers for DIYs but they don’t match your theme, hide them behind the island 😂
@hybrid cedar what's the fencing around the post office? It looks so good 
@plain forge it’s hacked fencing 🤭🤭
Yeah that’s cool
:0
@hybrid cedar cry 😭 ty tho!!
that’s all i can say lol 😫😫
Im going to try starting my lavender field with purple hyacinths. Anyone else have one I can see?
Good idea thank you!
i made raymond’s yard an art garden
@vocal jacinth there are a few awesome examples if you search "in: island-layouts has:image lavender"
@vocal jacinth mines rly small! :)
I should get round to replacing my white hyacinths with purples
Hey if anyone has a part of their island they’re not sure about or need help with, send pics and I’ll give ideas! Can’t do sketches rn since I’m on a phone 😦
@vocal jacinth mines rly small! :)
@plain forge I love that its exactly what I was going for but my silo doesnt match
@vocal jacinth ty! You can customize the silos ^^
@vocal jacinth ty! You can customize the silos ^^
@plain forge seriously!??
I have the brick/red silo @vocal jacinth I can mail you one if you want! Just DM me! No cost! I like to help!
@vocal jacinth yep! I believe there are 4 colors
Oh that’s right 😂 I forgot you can customize them 😂😂😂
@vocal jacinth yep! I believe there are 4 colors
@plain forge ok well thank you I thought I was stuck with the one in my nooks miles shop Im so glad now haha
@versed wadi aaaa why? i feel like the white is so refreshing to see
time to go get stung 5 times so I can get some wasp nests lmao
you can catch the wasps with the net easily. just stand in front of the tree with the net out, then push A after you shake the tree
you can catch the wasps with the net easily.
@muted trellis my reflexes are not up to par
i know how to do it i was trying to make a joke lmao
I’ve made this area for a villager - it leads to the beach at the south - the dirt path is where their house will be
Still gotta add the trees, flowers, bushes and furniture, but thoughts?
How are people able to design areas for each individual villager?
It was originally supposed to be something like this, then I realised the effort required to get hundreds of purple lavender and my laziness won out.
@torn geode ooo that area would look so good when decorated with plants! Cant wait to see!
Can people send me pictures of there villagers houses need ideas for decorating the outside of the homes please and thank you
I know this is just from my map but I'm tempted to remove a chunk of my swamp, mostly from the left side since I feel like it's way too big. hahaha.
does it feel too big? or is it way too small? 
actually, i should have sent a pic as to how it looked in-game. ouf
I thought you were gonna go all swamp?
@fringe heron i think it looks good the size it is.
@marsh heron I usually go by their character aesthetics/what they like/personalities :) for example, Judy has some Celeste items and pastel interior, so I gave her crescent moon chairs and star clocks with pink and white flowers in her yard. Dom is a jock and likes red, so I put a lot of red in his yard + some things like tire toys in his yard. He also kinda lives in my natural area bc of his house exterior
@versed wadi
I was going to but I realized that the placement of where they go didn't really fit well. ^^;
Ohhhh
@fringe heron yeah i think making the bottom left part smaller would look good if you think you need to do it, but i like it either way lol
@versed wadi story of white hyacinth field made me laugh
@manic sigil @marsh heron
Thank you both!
I'll decide and see if I like it to be smaller or prefer it to be bigger. ^^
I like to place cranky villagers either far away from the living district or on top of a cliff near the town hall with a telescope to watch the youth
lol
The simple little area I made for my nooks!
My garden is finally finished. So happy with the result
LF inspiration for a fairy/forest/mushroom/pink entrance!
Hiya I’d love some help with designing my island I have some places sorted but I’d like all the villagers to be together to make space so other parts I can’t teroform yet so it’s kind of difficult
What would an exterior for skye look like :thonk:
@marsh heron by character design, a lot of white and light blue stuff (flowers, customized log chairs, clothesline etc), by house exterior design you can put out natural wood or dark wood furniture, books, etc
Oki, mabye i could put that icy shelf to put the books on?
Sure, you can try it out! Idk if the frozen set would clash with her woody house exterior -- you can try this shelf as well, just customize it to the white birch @marsh heron
And then maybe fangs house next hers? Since he is wearing that snowflake sweater
And it could be like an outdoor library?
I had Fang before, he has the exact same exterior as Skye right? If you want to group them together, I think it would be a good idea to incorporate the outdoor library :)
Yea i really like them both so i like i will have their outdoor exterior as an icy outdoor library
Mockinjae has the right idea for personalizing each Villager's house. I try to do it with all of mine, but Bea's is my favorite and has a library https://twitter.com/Onalonelyscreen/status/1268647342091022338
Can people send me pictures of there villagers houses need ideas for decorating the outside of the homes please and thank you
@hardy roost my villagers are all scattered and have their own themed areas
I need to do something special for my Sprinkle as well. she's been around longest on the island yet has no extra building for her interests
“Flower delivery for Mr. Marshal!” 💙🥺 here’s how I decorated this little neighborhood + the front of marshal’s house
@urban venture i know you and i are both so bummed about hydrangea season ending
staying TTed in june forever
I can’t seem to get the last to rocks to appear, they’re not anywhere on the island and it’s been a couple days
@scenic blaze same I’m staying in summer until I finish my island and give tours 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Does anyone have ideas for an orchard? I just leveled and carved out my island, but I'm getting way lost on where to put my trees, and how many I should hold onto. Help?? ':)
@ornate meadow try putting mannequins where the rocks spawn so that they no longer spawn there
Bad photo and I know this isn’t the right place but I don’t know where to ask this. Does anyone know what this is??
@marsh heron what do you mean? I have mannequins everywhere on my island except these 2 spots but they haven’t spawned at all
@shrewd condor that would go in #game-help-questions❓!
@ornate meadow well have any rocks spawned anywhere else?
@shrewd condor that looks like a steamer basket on top of a mushroom design
@ornate meadow okay! I had no idea what it was called. Thank you!
.t rocks @ornate meadow have you looked at this guide yet?

mailbox trick :0
@marsh heron I looked everywhere and there doesn’t seem to be, maybe I should take everything down and see if any spawn?
@manic sigil thank you!!
@ornate meadow whats at the bottom of your garden?
@marsh heron there used to be a fence and the cliff but I took the fence down and got rid of a row of the cliff below, should I get rid of more of the cliff? The guide you showed me said to have like 4 rows empty below
Hmm try tt to the next day and see if a rock spawns anywhere
Also lets go to #garden-science-discussion
Hi! I am new to animal crossing, and I was wondering if I could get an island tour of anyones island for inspo? Ty!
Hey I was wondering if somebody could help me? white my island map lay out I can give nmts as a reward!
hi guys!! i need ideas on how to decorate my villagers’ front yards
i have Gonzo, Sylvia, Tipper, Poncho, Tutu
I need help planning where to put stuff n what to build (it doesn’t help that custom paths don’t show on map
@ornate meadow how'd you get them all together?
@vocal vector I used mannequins to cover my whole island except for the spots I wanted but for some reason the last 2 aren’t spawning
@ornate meadow if there's more cliff south of the rocks try chipping away more of it
Hey I was wondering if somebody could help me? white my island map lay out I can give nmts as a reward!
Any ideas for katt's house/yard?
@limber ginkgo okay, I’ll try doing that, thank you!
@silver holly maybe something like this? I don't have Katt personally, I just checked out her home interior via google
Whose house would go best here out of Coco, Fauna and Deirdre?
I think fauna
Coco or Fauna would work well tbh
I’d say coco
I really need ideas for my island
@limber ginkgo I like that!!! Thanks!!
@torn geode i think deirdre bc her house has darker parts that match the black cosmos + brown chairs/table

My villagers live in districts
Does anyone have ideas on how I can decorate the outside of Raymond’s house?
Any ideas on where to place the pyramid from Gulliver and how to decorate the area?
Anyone got a cute area for their shops?I'm trying to make ables and nooks look good
@grizzled compass
@green acorn if you have ankha or any egyptian-desert themed villager you can make them a little area!
That’s cute
hi!! my island is pink themed! ik this is very minor but hedge standees (left) or mountain ones? (right?
@austere nimbus I wish I did but I made the mistake of putting all my villagers all crowded in a city like way so now I’m stuck 😦
lol ty!! <3
@green acorn oh no, if you really want to change their districts you can try to move all the houses onto the beaches to start with a clean slate
Would love to see fishing pier/dock inspo from anyone (:
@bitter valve its cute!!
Which door looks good in between the windows?
aww thank you!!
@twilit lintel white one the plain white one i mean lmao
@austere nimbus haha thanks!
@austere nimbus I really really thought about that, but I feel like with the little space I have left it would be hard to do and very expensive since I already moved them once. I’d have to scrap my entire island and start over. 😦
@twilit lintel either the door or the black window, the long window kina looks like a freezer for stores
@soft plaza haha okay thank you!
@green acorn ah, then irdk sorry
Omg I have northern lights!!!!!!
@austere nimbus thanks anyways!!!
@green acorn np!
would it be a good idea to make a maze on my Island I think it would be cool but Don't know what is your opinion?
@midnight badge have you tried putting the mountain ones behind the hedge standees? the layering could be cool
@clever axle if you have the space id say go for it! if you dont like it you can always remove it~
thanks for the help
need museum entrance ideas!!!
@runic shale you can try searching "in: island-layouts has:image museum" to browse past posts xx
ooo I'll try! ty!
Help! How should I do my rivers?
@woven drift my map is kinda similar. This is what I did with mine.
I see while you are struggling, maybe you could add a liitle park with lights and shrubs
would it be a good idea to make a maze on my Island I think it would be cool but Don't know what is your opinion?
@clever axle I did a maze behind my museum. It’s part of my art gallery
oh ok cool I will try that
LF: Fairy garden designs!
I hate to ask, but does anyone have orchard ideas? I've been trying forever :(
why do you hate to ask :(
@woven drift try looking at in:island-layouts has: image orchard or Pinterest
Whats everyone doing with their peninsula?
Show me areas on your island with statues! 🎉🎉
And dock!
Someone should recreate the may day maze
Anyone have any cottage core themed entrance ideas?
When Sherb was your 3rd villager and his house is slowly turning into an imperial house 😂
@inner lynx
@rose pine campsite on my peninsula, and my dock 😄
@woven drift SO GOOOOD
@inner lynx lol ty!
I turned mine into a shell rest area lol
anyone got any cottage core themed island ideas?
@inner lynx I am looking for a statue to exchange the fountain
Which of these houses would go best here? I added a picnic blanket since I thought that might look nice too
Plus the southern path leads directly to the beach
Finally finished my mad scientist beach! @plain forge
How about this one? 🤣🤣 @placid matrix
@torn geode the first one or second
I want to put the statue with the wings or the black gold soldier statue
Some inspo for the area at able sister pls
@torn geode the 1 one
Deirdre it is then!
Does anyone have beach cafe inspo?
@torn geode i think the first one!
Updated pizza/Italian restaurant photo, suggestions for improvements welcome!
man i WISH i had a round peninsula there are no good design ideas i can find for the pointy ones 
Can someone visit my island and give me ideas please ???
Can anyone help me with my rivers pls I’m desperate
@woven drift How would you like help? Like moving it around, or minimizing it? For my river
My map is currently this atm
its always good to remember that your river does not need to be connected at both ends when designing
@tardy pebble I wanna rearrange them doesn’t matter if there connected
what can i add here??
Hey, this is the outside for my VIP hotel, what do you guys think? Is there anything I could do to improve it?
@drifting hearth why not some wicker chairs i forget whats the word
that’s sick af @rare lotus
@drifting hearth Thanks a lot!! 🙂
@woven drift Moving rivers and making water features for the whole island is a big hassle so I sympathize with you. I'd think firstly about where you really want the water to go, so which buildings and so on would look good with water near them. For instance, my zen garden for Zucker is right next to my river, and I have some nice water features around that side of the island because it's generally more nature-y
Probably can remove D6 square part sticking out removed for more space and round off the right side of the D6 bend of the river for more space. Unless you want a pound half in D6and half in C6
Then also think about whether you want a wide canal, or small natural looking rivers, and then where bridges should go to make your island easy to traverse/ look good
My campsite. How can I make it better?
needs trees
@shadow crest finding inspo for pointy peninsulas is pretty much impossible because everyone has rounded peninsulas. Here’s what I did with mine
Cedar trees imo
i should have reset for a rounded one lmaoo
anyone know some 1x2 cute/cool looking items?
mines off in the top corner of my map which can be useful but also means its litterally the middle of no where
I got the game day 1 so I thought the pointed peninsula would be the most popular one and so I reset for that. I was dead wrong
I made a cute lil lace edge for my lil picnic and outdoor dining area!
@woven drift
im salty because i think i put my campsite in a bad spot agian. by just a few squares sigh
i forgot to account for how far away from the cliffs trees need to be
Looking for someone to create a digital version of my island layout off of a screen shot. Im redesigning and Id like to be able to have something to print out. DM for more details. Paying nmt or bells
Looking at all these makes me upset that I'm not creative and my island looks like trash :D
never be upset at your lack of skills it just takes practice and patience
@lofty radish the pictures won't show bad looking parts of the island, and even if someone's is perfect it took time. Give it time and practice and yours will be something you're proud of too ^^
and a LOT of free time too not just to do the designing but all the planning
just enjoy the process basically 
Aw thx that legit made my day 🥰
Also everybody hates their own work no matter how good it is
also true, it comes with knowing your work inside and out
@lofty radish lol mine looks trash at the moment cause I’m playing musical rearrange my houses. LOL
Also, a lot of cooler looking areas are redone over and over again to look like that - don’t be discouraged that you’re still on your first draft so to speak
Yall are literally so sweet omg 🥺
I’m so stumped I need island ideas and what they would look like 😭
plus oh man the wait to actually get the furniture you want for a design that sometimes you dont even know what it looks like
never heard the first draft analogy before but that's absolutely true. I've gone through so many versions of my island layout by this point
I've never changed my island once cuz Idk what to change it to lmao
looking to recreate this could anyone help?
@lofty radish 75% of my island is absolute garbage! I only have 2 or 3 small areas that I'm happy to show off right now! And one of those I'm still waiting for leif to give me the right shrubs
diagonal bridges are a bit rough to do, just got to make sure you have the space for them. There's some helping material in the pins for this channel
thanks
Light on or off?
@native moth I feel like the dimmest setting would look nice
This is the only part I like but my friend made it ;-;
I really like light off! That's so cute! @native moth
@rigid stump Lief is on my island today with Hibiscus and Olive-tea Starts if you need those
I also had “don’t know what to use or do make this transition blend in to go from one area to the next spot”. Then, leave it be then walk pass it then get an idea from another angle. So idk if this helps for others, if you get to caught up to the point you’re frustrated, work on another thing that you currently working on and it’ll come to you as you revisit it. This has helped me
Thank you! I am making my house into a mall. What other rooms should I do?
I can't make a good layout but I can make sort of gud clothing Ig so I'm not completely lost 
@native moth have you done like a restaurant or cafe? Like Starbucks or something
@woven drift I plan to make a food court
@native moth sports shop?
@native moth toy store might be cute
@woven drift I think its just camelias I'm missing atm, but thank you so much for the offer anyway!
@lofty radish just work one area at a time. Think of a building/feature you want to make/ improve, do that first, then move onto the next
All great ideas! Thank you! I think I know what my other rooms will be now! @woven drift @misty anvil @woven drift
Bro I didn't even know the stuff yall used existed 🤡
@native moth np ^^
Cant wait to see how they turn out
caught wisp heading to buy some art lol
layout is cool, but it's fine to have no plan about layout and then work towards it as you go rather than doing some big elaborate plan
@native moth np would love to see how it looks all done!
Where can I find a place to visit others islands
@viscid kernel island visits channel
I’m new to discord so I am lost lol. Do I type that in somewhere or is there a link?
#690093605821480980 it's on the side bar at the left
@viscid kernel do you have the trade channels unlocked yet?
Some of the left bar stuff are gray and I can’t click it but I’ll try to find it, thank you guys so much
Looking for kinda simple entrance ideas. My plaza is roughly 5 squares back, and 8 to the right.
Has anyone got a really small area that they have filled with something cool? I’ve got this bit in the side of my zen area and I really don’t like it...
no worries ^^
My island is done, but I still have so much space on the beach. What can I put there?
@willow elm tiki bar, fishing area, or surf shack?
@willow elm just from the things I have on my beaches, tiki bar, surf shack, beach market, lighthouse area, beach picnic, general resort area with beds and so on
My island is done, but I still have so much space on the beach. What can I put there?
@willow elm you can put boardwalk/carnival, you can extend areas near your beach onto it, you can make a beach picnic area, beach workout area?
I left AC for a while and ugh I hope there's still snow
Anyone has ideas how I can make this area more alive? 🤯
Yo those rustic panels and stalls, look awesome @patent sky
@rocky egret you could add more colorful things maybe? Like different colored flowers or bushes?
@rocky egret using flowering bushes would bring a little life in without being as bright as using colorful flowers there (which is also an option)
@rocky egret hedge fences or use custom path borders to help "separate" and "box-in" cetain areas, whever you have a thing of grey especially with the stone paths it looks more empty
@tardy pebble ty!
And I hope maybe someone will tell me why they've rated me LMAO
Okay thanks!
@rocky egret This is what i did for my fountain area for example,i use the marble custom pattern and hedges to help separate the area to make it its own area
Does anyone have a terraformed volcano? I wanna do one, but doesn’t seem many people have done one
I need those bricks
@snow finch :c
@woven drift my friend @proper grove has a volcano!
I was just thinking of dexs volcano
was gonna mention dex!!! haha
the only person i know with a volcano hahahaha
@scenic blaze great! Are there any pictures I can look at?
hi! Lemme find some pictures!
I thaw that you can’t place water in the fourth level
RIP my 4th level waterfall dreams
@woven drift
@proper grove okay thanks been looking for inspo for awhile
any thoughts on my pick-your-own strawberry farm please? does it work or i should just scrap the whole thing
@woven drift hope it helps!
What furniture would make my blueberry forest more complete? Mum cushions? Need suggestions
@atomic quest the hibiscus don't make me think strawberry immediately, but I think it looks super cute! I've seen people use plucked pansies as strawberries as well, maybe you could play around with that idea?
@woven drift wooden buckets? for picking? idk if that's the vibe you're going for haha
@woven drift there's also this one
@woven drift if you want a scattered blueberry path code i have one in my maker ID
YES
Made a little duck pond ;u;
Duck food and duck infograph: MA-3225-3850-1472
Duck nest: MA-7138-4187-1702
@woven drift
ohh benefit of that one is being able to see the whole thing on screen. I wanted to fit phoebe down inside the volvano though so it's too wide to fit on screen.
@woven drift I also saw someone using the frozen arch, customized red, for pouring lava that glows at night
this one, by @hollow vortex
What are some ideas to camouflage the front edge of cliffs?
Love all these volcano, but does someone know of a design pattern for like the volcano sides?
@atomic quest I have a strawberry farm 🙂 I used pansies and windflowers and have to pick them everyday 😂
oh that's so cute
Yeah it’s pretty fun!
i love pansies as berries, so friggin cute
thanks, ill play around with it a bit more
if you make it on the beach you don't have to pluck every day
Yeah that works too
it's just that i wanna use hibiscus for something just like how we can use hydrangea as blueberries and grapes
tomatoes?
hibiscus tea is a thing! make a tea farm?
@atomic quest I feel like a white flowering bush would be better (like strawberry plants flowering) but there aren't any white flowering bushes in season 
you can swap it for tea olives in the tea olive season later as well
Poppy's garden WIP 
so sad that the holly bushes only bloom in late fall
yea.. ok i'll use pansies or do a tea farm instead. thanks all for the ideas
What do you guys think if my waterscaping so far
I like the shape of the rivers a whole lot, very natural and the big islands make for a great overhead map
Thanks guys
So for my blueberry forest I’m gonna add mum cushions, white garden lanterns and I’m making the path overgrown brikc instead
A little bakery area I’ve been working on, but I don’t think it’s quite there yet. Could I get some suggestions?
Very small very cute
@cloud narwhal maybe use iron garden table with it so it matches more?
Add a menu
maybe another table
can someone please help me with the dissension of this
@chilly belfry 3 in the middle of bridges. 4 where bridges are placed?
Can you guys show me your farmers market ^-^?
@muted trellis of the octagon
@chilly belfry I gave the size of each side in the center. Cant fully tell if 2 or 3 wide all around (the water)
@cloud narwhal I would put the podium w register on other side of the character and then switch the cake and typewriter, that way the arrangement would better frame the area and give the worker access to the oven
I just discovered the glory of using ruined paths instead of solid paths
does anyone have small town and/or urban inspo? (i searched nothing i rly liked)
I made a little fish market
I just discovered the glory of using ruined paths instead of solid paths
@woven drift what do you mean?
Instead of a solid path broken up little bricks
@alpine spade so cute!! maybe add some fish there, waiting for their fate haha
@fervent jay I was thinking about that. How many tanks can stack on top of each other?
i thinkkkkk only two !
Does the same go for bug containers?
yep !
Need some entrance inspiration
any inspo to make the museum entrance look nice?
LF workbench on island inspo? I want several workbenches placed around my island but with decorations around them too.
tulips are my fav flowers in the game so i created a little walkway lined with tulips towards my house 🥰
any inspo to make the museum entrance look nice?
@woven drift my museum is simple and on the first level :) I found using colors that match the museum exterior makes the area pleasing to the eyes. My theme is city and there are cliffs on both sides with Gulliver items and fossil displays on the bottom
My museum is a bit different in its decor style
Is anyone else’s flower bushes clashing with their island now or just me? I feel like I have to redecorate
my current able sisters! it seems i love decorating but hate terraforming cliffs lol, any tips/ ideas?
Would anyone be willing to come over to my island and plan where to move some things ? I’ll pay
thank you mine is so boring and i needed to do something!! i love them both @woven drift and @plain forge
@lament monolith this is why my island has a color theme with matching bushes so it’s always in style 😂
I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me design a bit of my island
hi this is my map rn, i want to move the shops and put an orchard in. can someone please suggest where i can put them?
Some inspo for the area at able sister pls
@clever plover I wish I had done that 😂 I’ve been rearranging bushes all day
I have all the items for a cafe but could really use someone’s help on where to put it
Added mum cushions to my blueberry forest
i finished this spot for Fang today. 🧐
@left oasis whats that tiny house?
Some inspo for the area at able sister pls
@placid matrix
Mine is quite simple but the flower wagon goes well
K
@left oasis whats that tiny house?
@manic sigil Mom's Pen Stand 🙂
blather's fossil study!🔬
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do for Wolfgang's exterior?
Does anyone have trouble putting a custom design at this corner of the campsite?
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do for Wolfgang's exterior?
@rocky tulip log chairs and firepit?
Does anyone have trouble putting a custom design at this corner of the campsite?
@twilit lintel yes, i don't think you can put it there for some reason. maybe try to go into the designer app and place on floor instead?
@muted trellis 😭😭😭but I can put the game path there. Sadnesss.
@muted trellis 😭😭😭but I can put the game path there. Sadnesss.
@twilit lintel yea, that is weird.
@muted trellis 😭😭😭but I can put the game path there. Sadnesss.
@twilit lintel
Could you make both corners have a bush or something so they're even? I guess if you can't place flooring you probably can't place a bush though :(
LF workbench on island inspo? I want several workbenches placed around my island but with decorations around them too.
@clever plover
@floral palm yeah i probably cant put a bush there.
Feels bad man
how can i fix this
@chilly belfry 
???
Check the pins and scroll down
@chilly belfry there is a good guide to diagonal bridges in the pins. they are a bit annoying to explain so that will help the most.
finally finished this piece of work that is my entrance, if only i wasn't terrified of decorating the 4th layer 😩
@muted trellis 😭😭😭but I can put the game path there. Sadnesss.
@twilit lintel Yea, i just checked and had the same issue. almost couldnt get the game path up again. ^-^'
@rigid vault hacked fences 😳
I just cleared out a huge area for my rec center to go but I'm struggling with what to put there 😢
@rigid vault hacked fences 😳
@manic sigil 😉
I need entrance ideas still havent started on mine cause idk what to do
Ayy Harvey’s fence
what's the best one
@flat abyss 1st one or third imo
what do you guys think i should put on the beach here to fill my little viewing area/study?? i went really heavy on the "star" gazing part...
you can't tell it has a glass pattern smh, sposed to be windows
@flat abyss 3rd for contrast looks good
OH its supposed to be windows? idk then :/
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do for Wolfgang's exterior?
@rocky tulip not the best picture but that’s my Wolfgang’s exterior !
Ooh, I like that!
Does anybody have some inspiration for a pirate ship on the rocks?
@thorny dawn this is @twilit lintel's pirate area!
Wow, that looks so epic! Thank you!
@thorny dawn this user also has a really well done pirate ship https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/hvtqbd/celeste_joined_my_haunted_ship_by_wisp_to_fight/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
finally happy with the bakery!
Any ideas on what I can do with this small area? I’m considering doing something with stonehenge or a genuine informative statue but idk
South is beach and north is Deirdre’s home
My island is based on the city of Troy, NY, where which I live in real life! It’s a work in progress. 😅
So cool @woven drift !! 
@woven drift I made a mad scientist beach today. And I have my campsite in a "cave" of sorts.
I finally understand why yall complain about the number of custom design slots
I 100000% support whoever made this
Does anybody have some inspiration for a pirate ship on the rocks?
@thorny dawn hey! So I recently went to an island and took pictures of their island for them. They are uploaded to my twitter account. Here’s the link to one of the photos. But you can access everything else as well https://twitter.com/leslie08154918/status/1284382394099720192?s=21
@twilit lintel Yea, i just checked and had the same issue. almost couldnt get the game path up again. ^-^'
@muted trellis yeah I don’t understand why it does that.. so annoying
@twilit lintel agreed.
@native moth that would go in #happy-home-designs, but looks amazing! 
@manic sigil oops ur right wrong chat >\<
Any ideas for things to put by my new museum
Anyone have a spooky/ gothic looking island? It’s the looking I’m going for and I’m kinda stuck on ideas. Message me
New “witch” area I just completed 😄
@rigid vault I'd love to see an image of your map. How you've blocked off the river mouth like that is a good idea. Never thought to do that.
Does anyone have a city themed island i can take a look at? specifically looking for 3-tiered neighborhoods!
@scenic dirge Evil Imp has a really cool spooky island, they did a tour some time ago if you want to check it up: https://youtu.be/J6dkjprwF1s
Where do Animal Crossing villagers go when they die? Welcome to Purgatory, an island built on witchcraft and demonic powers.

Can I see double southern outlets for inspo. I’m redoing my river and could use some pointers.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do for Lucky's yard? I'm planning on doing something like a small haunted/spooky forest, but I don't know what to exactly do with it-
Has anyone done anything with an informative statue on their island?
Ooh, yeah, I forgot those were a thing, lol- I just got the western-style stone, too, so I guess it could be easy-ish
I like that! Maybe ill use that whole area in the center as a lake area with some islands & bridges !! Thank you !!
@torn geode I just put it in my art gallery maze 🤷🏻♀️ @vestal crown @rocky tulip no problem!
I haven’t felt like decorating for a couple days
But I usually am like that then get right back into it once I’m in the mood, when I force myself to decorate it doesn’t turn out as well as when I do it willingly
It perfectly fine to take breaks from the game!
Ye for sure
i found this BEAUTIFUL island online!! credit to reddit user u/PM_ME_A_COLOR (i think that’s their name)
@static dirge don’t push yourself too hard. It takes time. I was off for a few days. And I just got back on last night working on a new island.
Ahhh I have to decorate my nooks soon but I’m scared of doing it for some reason and I just thought that maybe the place for it maybe wasn’t such a good idea
@static dirge it happens. Everything is trial and error until you’re happy with it.
Idk I know for sure I wanna do a multilayered little shopping area with ables on top and nooks on bottom but I’m not sure how to go about it
Okay so now my area for the museum is done by your ideas ☺️ what do you think now?
I’m usually not like nervous or indecisive about decorating but since this is a new style and whatever for me it’s harder to get going if that makes sense
@rocky egret it is amazing!!!
@static dirge what style are you doing again? I just started making a new island. And I’ve never done something like it either. You just have to play with it.
Okay so now my area for the museum is done by your ideas ☺️ what do you think now?
@N.Stpp#6370 so pretty but I’m not sure on the path haha
i love the path so pick what you think is best ¯_(ツ)_/¯
My island so far! @twilit lintel
@rocky egret so pretty but I’m not sure on the path haha
@static dirge thanks! What’s with the path? Stone does not fit here? :<
Moving katt's house, what fence should I use?
Try corral fencing
@static dirge oh yeah that. I forgot. Cottagecore
@static dirge thanks! What’s with the path? Stone does not fit here? :<
@N.Stpp#6370 I’m not sure what it is about it maybe if you added borders?
@static dirge oh yeah that. I forgot. Cottagecore
@twilit lintel yeah it’s themed off of autumn so maybe like autumn natural cottagecore vibe 🙂 it’s going great so far I think
@rocky egret I’m not sure what it is about it maybe if you added borders?
@static dirge I wish I could do that, but all my design slots saying no! 😭
Think I’m gonna make this just a short winding road through a tiny forest. These are the pieces of furniture I plan on using. Thoughts?
Wanted to post this somewhere because I don’t know anyone who plays acnh. Proud of my almost done island!
@static dirge if you want a tiered shopping area. You just gotta see what works. No need to stress honestly. I wanted something tiered but decided against it. And now I have this pretty cool area https://twitter.com/leslie08154918/status/1286028553016860672?s=21
#AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch
Put down Ables's sister shop, now need to think of where to put Nook's Cranny... https://t.co/DmALn5jVup
Guys what do I do with this big area?, it’s isolated from my island
@misty oracle Hmm, maybe a wind turbine farm since it's a higher level?

@twilit lintel was mainly inspired by this not so much the decoration but by the terraforming
#AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch
Put down Ables's sister shop, now need to think of where to put Nook's Cranny... https://t.co/DmALn5jVup
@misty oracle build a staircase from the museum and make a fossil dog site
I think the 2 tier idea is super cool but idk I’ll try it for sure see how it goes
@oak thunder sorry for the terrible quality but this is my map so far!
Just test itout. If you don’t like it.. then change it 🤷🏻♀️
I will do! I’ll keep you updated, it’s always nice to have a second opinion 🙂 if you’re interested I mean lmao
Also these trees scare me
D:
Anyone have any pictures of double south natural maps? Like they don’t have to be urs just something I’m struggling ;-; Heres my map rn idk what to do.
@echo rose
What do you mean by natural
Not artificial looking like woodsy I guess they mean
Oh nvm I misread it.
I mean my island is natural themed and I have a double south but I have barely started sorry fo disappoint 😭
does anyone have small town or urban entrance and/or residential area inspo
My house! I decorated the inside like a mall too
So glad I stockpiled flowers - had no idea just how many I'd need to decorate even a small portion of my island with
Why can’t you put flowers in storage
@native moth the raymond and judy posters 😳
It makes me 😡
You can't put trees in storage either
any plant that’s grown and not a seed
I remember when I thought 10 second slow mode was bad on here 😳
also why cant you upgrade storage 😭 mine is already full
Entrance UwU
Oh how I miss the days when there was no slow mode
@manic sigil do u have biggest house (u should by now lol)
@echo rose heres how i did mine
@tropic vapor yes 1600 storage iirc
@echo rose
Why can’t you access the storage on other peoples islands, like you could with the lockers in new leaf
I have double thing but I’ve removed all my rivers so I don’t really have anything to show 😂
You just gotta purge more tbh i have the same problem lol i dont need 10 stacks of sticks
@static dirge so you don’t steal
Guys I need more bridges and inclines D: eight isn't enough at all
yeah im doing that currently but it kinda sucks
@static dirge are those money trees in fall? 👀
@static dirge are those money trees in fall? 👀
@atomic mortar what do you mean? 🙂
@atomic mortar those are hacked trees 🤭
@atomic mortar they are hacked money trees you can get them through black markets or hack yhe game itself
The tree pics you posted.. ohhh NVM lol
OH yeah someone gave me like 40 trees
Aren't they like dangerous for your game?
What happens if you shake those trees i always wondered
Well only turnip and scroll trees are somewhat dangerous others are not
No ones game has been affected in the updates so far so not really but of course its rational to worry
They don’t like ruin your save or anything, star fragment trees are probably the safest out of them all
^ agreed
Wow
do they actually drop the items that are displayed? or do the items just disappear or turn into something else when they drop
These heart crystal trees are something else tho!
And here I am still wary of time travelling lol
They do but the items dont grow back
do they actually drop the items that are displayed? or do the items just disappear or turn into something else when they drop
@manic sigil no idea nobody really shakes them all I know is not to shake scroll trees unless I want bad things to happen
I used to have a bunch but i gave them away in fear of my game breaking i miss them tho
They do but the items dont grow back
@reef pilot ah so like money trees?
Ye they’re like that
Yea! basically i wish they were allowed to trade here but as far as i know theirs no way to obtain them (atleast on this server) unless your a hacker
Yeah idk I won 40 trees in a giveaway I also have some like hacked items that you can’t get otherwise
nice! Lucky you
Like the residential services bench, harvs fence, harvs pizza oven, kk slider stools stuff like that they’re actually really cool items
I can't find these scrolls mentioned anywhere which is pretty weird... really want to find out more info about them
I gave away a bunch before in fear of bricking my game and shortly after trading of the trees where banned which sucks but i understand
The Harv items are named in Japanese
I also had a bunch of camo items but they were ugly so I sold them for gold ornaments so I could make the pretty reindeer
im guessing these are from future updates?
Are those hacked too
im guessing these are from future updates?
@manic sigil noo I don’t think so they’re the items that are used for events and harvs island i don’t think they’re in an update would be cool if they were tho
Yea they are hacked
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
What flowers do you guys think would look best around stellas house im thinking purple roses any other ideas?
Turnip trees scare me
begone 
damn
They’re very pretty actually and fit nicely in my island
I want a mushroom tree
uhhhh hi crappy pic but I’ve started working on my fish market...and I kinda hate it 😔 looking for feedback (also I haven’t customized everything yet bc I wanted to put things down first just to see how it’d look)
These shine super bright
Sorry to bust your convo...but technically we’re not supposed to talk about the hacked trees.
beautiful 
Ahhhh sorry I’ve gone off topic and yeah I’ll ditch it
Imagine having an islandw nothing hacked furniture 
aaaa sorry last ss of anything like hacked

Also why does the player not put the mask over their nose like
r.s bench and stools
this is cursed
Omg I hate those little stool chairs I can't sit on
Skskksksks it is very cursed
They’re actually like fully modelled in storage and everything which is weird they’re also fully named in Japanese so maybe they’re available there
mhm
I wonder how many nmt this stuff would sell for but anyway let’s change the topic before I get in trouble kskrjekrjeks
kserjskerksj yes please
anyone have ideas for a desert themed yard ?
Take it to DMs I guess lol
sand
Hmmm pyramid Sphinx maybe some pottery would look cool
lool
And palm trees too
A cut out of Sahara
Well I should go! It’s been nice talking to everyone here as usual
Sorry if I broke any rules, didn’t mean to 🙂 thanks everyone for being sweet as sugar lol
fish market 😼
Hey I just want advice I don't have building tools yet for my island yet my plan is for it to be a city yet where I live will be foresty so a rustic city I guess yet idk how to do it I also found a map maker so heres a map I made of what it could be any advice please QvQ
@brave edge the villagers yard is gonna be quite small if you put them that close together. Like really really small. If that’s what you’re going for, then go ahead. But you just won’t have room to give them proper yards
Oh I actually plan for it to be a bit bigger so I can put down yards
Oh, so it's just a sketch kind of?
you might want to put an incline near the houses so you can access them without a ladder
@brave edge oh okay. I wasn’t sure because I thought that was the map you’re going for 🤷🏻♀️
You might get more detailed feedback if you finish making your map how you plan it to look and post it again!
does anyone have like houses with bridges connecting on like a central island? I don’t want to use more than two bridges and I’m struggling to find a shape that will fit
Oki ^^
@torn geode Yes! I do alot of art and I struggle to do stuff without a plan cause I get anxious QwQ
@teal ermine I do plan that I just couldn't put it in the map without it looking even more crowded
like the houses are on the central island? @vestal crown
@brave edge you don't necessarily need to plan out your entire map, if you're struggling to string ideas together. Personally, I work on the places which can't be moved first (entrance/airport, RS, secret beach)
Plan those places out first in more detail and more ideas will probably come to you (hopefully) quickly
Oki ^^ thank you!
People plan differntly so its up to them on how they choose to plan
yeah if like nebula said you can always take it area by area. that’s how i do it when i redo my island. usually i start with the entrance and work my way up.
@vestal crown I used three bridges in my water bungalow resort. But it’s not connecting to a central island. I used a lot of stepping areas to get to other parts of the area
Just one really ! I have enough space in the center area now but I don’t like the way it looks (for reference the house I’m moving will be the one that’s a little off to the left kinda blocking the rivers way
i has a plan and i’ve completely deviated from it
wow ur map is gorgeous!!
I’m also trying to leave enough room for fish to spawn and I think it needs to be at least 3 blocks but I’m not certain
What should I put in katt's yard?
Can people send me there maps with the layout of the airport and resident services
Do bushes give you any points towards your island or nah?
i can’t really figure out what house ur moving @vestal crown
@versed socket
I'm having trouble designing how I want my layout
@torn geode they count as trees
wip 😳
hold on
@vestal crown if you only wanna use two bridges you could do this
I’m also trying to just redo the whole top part of the river to make it flow into the lake part better. Any suggestions there
what do you think is wrong with it?
i have this big but little space that’s at the edge , what should i put there ? i made a library and cafe that’s near the space already .
Honestly I think my whole map is very devoid of water since I didn’t use my whole outlet to the left 🥺
a park?
Does anyone know where cedar trees will grow and will they won't? Everything says the top half of the map, but I don't know where that part starts/ends. Does it just mean cliffs? I don't know what other channel to ask this in.
@vestal crown i honestly think your map looks perfectly fine, it’s one of the prettier ones i’ve seen. and you don’t need to have lots of water either! i think the amount you have is fine
@rocky tulip cedar trees grow anywhere on the island lol
Fjajakaka is thank you. I like the ones where people how little small outlets all over and in the cliffs. And I don’t like when they drop and just go straight into the ground so I guess I just have to keep sudokuing it
Will they? I've seen a few people who's don't grow- shrug
@rocky tulip probably because they planted it next to another tree/building/cliff. they will grow anywhere that a tree can grow.
Alright, then. Thank you-
Honestly I think your map looks great too. I understand the feeling of wanting to add more water but you have a really good map view already
there is a way to freeze saplings so that might’ve been what they did.
Frozen saplings look pretty in some cases - I planted one next to a fully grown tree just because it looked nice
i planted one in a mini farm near my house so it looks like a crop.
see my other difficulty is bc my map looks so good it doesn’t look that great in game
I don’t know it’s a consistent feeling like it could always be better 
Redd’s cove with a pirate ship !
you should send us pics of your island i’m curious to see what it looks like @vestal crown
My town's little mine ⛏️
I can understand that. I think the best looking parts of my island are the worst looking parts of my map and vice versa
@worn rock wow looks amazing!
@woven drift sorry, late to the chat, but what about a train park?
those are the entrance area, campsite and stargazing platform. There’s smaller details kinda left out but that’s the gist. Other scenic spots include a bridge overlook to the museum (ft my hoarding problem), Redds hidden ship, and freyas house
if any of you have any tier residential areas please send them! i’m thinking of having a city-like island after i finish my cottagecore island completely
Feedback on blueberry forest again
@light storm what do you mean layout? ^^;
These ways of ground
I want to use the path but I’m abhorred by the fact that it doesn’t make sound
I like having paths on the map too much to be that dedicated to a custom path 😩
this is a “blueberry” and “lavender” farm i made except hydrangeas are out of season now
I want to use the path but I’m abhorred by the fact that it doesn’t make sound
@vestal crown imo you get used to it but i can see how you would want it
You mean the pathway? @light storm
You mean the pathway? @light storm
@alpine pumice yes, ty ❤️
I actually speak spanish
My island before and after
If the path took less spaces or if we had more I would just make it my dirt path and still use the stone one bc I love the stone paths but the sound man
Please keep path code sharing to #path-codes ty!
Sorry ><
My plaza is very close to the front of my beach (5 sq) any ideas how to decorate area in front of plaza ?
i use stone path with borders so it isnt really better for me 😭
i just wish the pathways showed up on the map.
I couldn’t find a natural looking border for stone paths so I’m just biding my time. Someone will make one I love eventually. I tend to stick to static qr that items get placed on so I don’t have to heard the dreaded foot fart in the middle of my stone path
I’m replacing my arched stone pathways with natural brick custom designs right now
@vestal crown you mean natural as in natural with moss and such or as in looks actually good with the stone path
my island is black and white themed and kinda like black rocks maybe around it with some moss or grass is what I’m thinking.
The overgrown brick looks much better for my island
anyone wanna show off something cool they did with their beaches?
@real pumice made a mad scientist beach. ^-^
!!!! so cool! i love the rock area
Anyone got any imperial/Asian housing areas? I want to do them for zucker and Blanche
@rare hull dragos onsen
Couple of my beaches
@brisk junco haha all my villagers have themed areas. Dragos just happened to have one of the larger areas just because a it’s an onsen
It's beautiful, you did a great job!!
can i have some ideas for a small fountain area? the theme i’m going for in this area is kind of like an italian villa town square (like in venice)
@brisk junco thank you!!
@twilit lintel WOW! That is so freaking cool 💓
Would this layout be ok?
@woven drift id switch the museum with the mini cafe
Wym
if you have the mini cafe behind the museum you won't be able to see if you know what i mean
Oh yeah
like put the cafe in front
I will move it infront yeah
other than that it looks great nice job <3
Thx
no problem!! 
My biggest flex is my residents services is in the middle of my island
ikr you're so lucky!! mine is so close to my entrance i still haven't figured it out 
I need to work on my entrance 
mine is also very close to my entrance, i wish i had more room to terraform to make cliffs around it but i’m really proud of how mine came out
@woven drift what i'm doing for mine is like instead of having a head on straight entrance i'm terraforming so that you have to make a right turn as soon as you get out of the airport
@woven drift just do a super cool plaza thing! The plaza is a big part of the island, so make it memorable 🙂
I'm making some mini islands inside of a lake I terraformed, does anyone have any cool ideas I could borrow by chance?
anyone have good entrance ideas pls? 🥺❤️
@mellow obsidian I put my museum in the middle with little islands for small fossils you can see when you cross the bridge to the museum
That sounds awesome! Thanks 🙂
@spark dust my entrance! I edited the leaves and street lamp color tho
Two things!
- Looking for cottagecore maps, I’m trying to figure out how I want to tuck all of the villagers houses away in little nooks and crannys around my island, I want them fairly spread out!
- Looking for pictures of blueberry picking patches for inspo!!
@dapper mural I saw a speed build for a blueberry patch on YT yesterday something like “mads crossing” I believe

@fluid needle since you have a telescope and shuttle there maybe make it the stargazing area with a picnic blanket, some cushions, ect?
Hi! Sorry if this has been asked but I was trying to move the river so It would be more through the center of the island but found that I can't get rid of the following. Is there any way to fix this?

@exotic torrent maybe a cafe, a little market place, a laundromat, etc.
or a park @exotic torrent
Anyone know of anything cute i can put in the middle of my villager area?
@exotic torrent rock garden, statue garden, waterfall cliff, fountain area, pond, playground?
do i put bea or stitches next to marshal?
@civic ferry maybe Bea, since she also has a cafe-ish interior :)
Hmm. I don't have a cafe area or a rock garden yet on my island. I think I'll try one of those two. I'll experiment with both and see what i like more. Thanks @plain forge and @versed nova
Just finished Kabukis Backyard:)
its very pretty!!

redd’s secret beach 👁👄👁
The Crab Cakes Bakery

Need some help figuring out which bridge to put here! I’m stuck between wooden or brick, but if you think another would look better I’m open to suggestions 
Im unsure if that sapling by the cliff is gonna grow
Probably not
but I’m holding out hope
You could try planting a fully grown tree there and if it dosnt work that will answer your question lol
re-did my entrance again. tried to make it look more spacious since rs is only 15 blocks away from my airport 
Also i vote wooden
freyas house now vs then
I'm looking to make a little carnival area on my island and I've been looking for a cool pattern to put on the ground, but have not had any luck. Anyone have anything to share?
could someone help me? i’m making like a disney themed market place and need to pick a fencing, which fence is the most disney themed/which would look best?
could someone help me? i’m making like a disney themed market place and need to pick a fencing, which fence is the most disney themed/which would look best?
@vernal crane um.. zen fencing?
or brick could look good too.
Are you doing park theme or just like Disney movie theme. cause I would do the blue iron if it’s a park but maybe rope or country if it’s just like Disney-esque. The brick is a good idea too
i’m doing like disney world. i googled like the actual fence they use and it’s pretty close to the blue iron but i do like the brick fencing ahh i’m just indecisive lol
Maybe you could do like public spaces with the iron and brick for your villager houses?
oh i like that idea, thank you so much!
you’re welcome 🥰
What other items should I put on this cliff? Going for wishing well magical vibes
almost done decorating any suggestions to add?
@rare hull drop a coin near the wishing well, so it looks like someone made a wish
@rare hull hyacinth lamp or mushroom lamp? and tree if you have space
@marsh harness awwe that is so smart ty!
@rare hull backwards star clocks, nova lights, hyacinth lamp
@muted trellis Oh yes!!
I cant wait till i finally get the star lamps diy
@scenic blaze definitely gonna try those! Ty
I'm making an outdoor library, any suggestions for furniture here?
@woeful aurora some colorful flowers / shrubs might be a nice addition (: if you're going for a space theme you could also add a telescope
alright thank you
Can i see peoples pool/spa areas? I need inspo🥺
@icy mountain sofa, wooden/ironwood low table, fireplace, stacks of books, desk(s), globe, floor lamp
@icy mountain this is how i did mine, weird shape i know but pretty happy w it
@stuck trail I'll look into those
Any ideas for what I should put here and before you guys say pinned messages I looked and found nothing good
Also @glass river thank you for letting me look at yours!
i would love for some suggestions and ideas for other stalls i can put in my quaint market area. i have a coffee stall and plant stall so far ^^
@icy mountain np!!
@marsh harness here's my short list of ideas for stalls haha: food stand, fortune teller, garden, honey, fruit, antique/curio, newspaper, dispensary, pharmacy
If I’m building a bridge can I move other island buildings as long as it’s the next day from beginning to build the bridge?
@stuck trail ooh. i love those ideas. i’m leaning towards newspapers because i haven’t done that yet. may i ask what kinds of items you would put in a dispensary stall? lol
If I’m building a bridge can I move other island buildings as long as it’s the next day from beginning to build the bridge?
@vestal crown you can build/demolish 1 bridge or incline at a time, and move 1 building at a time.
@vestal crown bridges and inclines don't affect you ability to move other buildings
Oh wow thanks you guys
super proud of my new enterance! anything else i should add? my aesthetic is cottagecore btw
Is this a big enough space for a rock garden?
@marsh harness I've seen a few done with a dropped clump of weeds and an analog kitchen scale 😂 or a terrarium instead of the clump of weeds
omfg that’s hilarious
@feral birch omg nice entrance
If I remove the flowers that is. I haven’t made it yet.
What bridge goes with her house I’m thinking either suspension or stone but my boyfriend said brick and I wanna cry. It’s gonna be in the left hand corner
Debating to change the bikes to car beds and probably making the area bigger but anywho, this is my gas station
@feral birch Some more flowers or bushes! If you're theme is cottagecore, you can try fitting a bucket or maybe some scattered log stakes

@vestal crown stone would look nice if you are going to keep that path! :))
@vestal crown I would say stone, especially if you're using the stone pathing in that area (:
@feral birch Your layout is already 10/10
I was maybe gonna add some distressed white wood if I found one that was just 1 code instead of the stone. it would still look good with the stone I think though
@feral birch Some more flowers or bushes! If you're theme is cottagecore, you can try fitting a bucket or maybe some scattered log stakes
@abstract kelp love it! log stakes check but i’ll definitely add a bucket!
I was maybe gonna add some distressed white wood if I found one that was just 1 code instead of the stone. it would still look good with the stone I think though
@vestal crown I have a qr code for a cute three part wooden path i can drop it in dm if youd like!
@vestal crown the stone is quite neutral compared to brick, so I think it would go well with what you're describing!
Any ideas for what I should put here and before you guys say pinned messages I looked and found nothing good
@jagged laurel maybe you can put a well there or a fountain with benches
Thanks for your advice!
Posted this yesterday but I'm really happy with the yard I made for Beau 
my 2 gardens 🙂
Just finished making the area for my rock garden
Does anyone have ideas on how I school decorate the outside of ketchups home?
Anyone want to visit my island and help pull weeds/ shake trees to clean it up some dm me 🙂
Fixing stuff up UwU, this is something inspired off of a five star island tour video I watched, It’s still a wip
anybody have any item ideas to put on a desserts stall besides the obvious mom’s cake item?
i meant desserts stall, not cake stall lol
any royal resident service entrance ideas ?
@marsh harness you can put birthday cupcake?
@marsh harness frozen treats, dropped cupcake? if I'm lacking an item I'll sometimes just put a typewriter for the cash register haha
the cupcake and frozen treats is a good idea actually ty lol
just need to get the diy for it now 
dooes anyone have any ideas for a haunted area
Im also finished my able sisters shop, the backround looks empty but I am redoing my whole island so that is why 😹 any tips/ideas to improve it, again im going for a cottagecore theme.
city work in progress😄🌃
@alpine quartz this isn't mine but I saw it posted the other day and thought it was awesome 😂 not sure if it's too hokey for you
spook abandoned train track next to a mini graveyard
@rain fog this is my ketchups yard
@feral birch you could add a little sewing area maybe? using the old-fashioned sewing machine and maybe a sturdy sewing box or sewing kit (:
do u guys know how to transfer the photos from ur switch to ur phone or smth
@stiff matrix thanks

@bratty.alani#4253 Omg! What a great idea, thanks so much!
Pls help I am going for a fairycore themed island but idk what to put here!!!
Does anyone have a slightly forested path leading from one small area to their beach? Looking for some inspo
@alpine quartz I send them to twitter or fb and save from there
Does it look weird to use the same fence next to each other? Should I change one of them?
@silver holly change one of them to hedge fencing - always looks nice with layered fencing
My pathway I’m working on. And ideas on what I should put along the path? I feel like it looks too plain
i would delete one of the fences and connect either side to it. @silver holly 😊
so there is only one fence in between both :))
idk how to explain it lol
Pls help I am going for a fairycore themed island but idk what to put here!!!
@rancid carbon i put little sparkles & flowers along my path! maybe put something like that over the path ?
lil star gazing moment? @stiff matrix
@feral birch like this? Does it look ok with the path showing on the other side?
Tysm!!!! For the ideaaaa😁 @feral birch
@rancid carbon idk if you want to add more lamps but hyacinth lamps or nova light might look good between the lanterns. alternatively you could stick with the cherry-blossom theme and add cherry-blossom bonsai or cherry-blossom petal piles
This is my fav
@feral birch like this? Does it look ok with the path showing on the other side?
@silver holly aslong as you dont mind it! it doesnt look awful, and it wouldnt ruin it! :))
@rancid carbon i put little sparkles & flowers along my path! maybe put something like that over the path ?
@tacit notch I’ve tried but unfortunately you can’t put custom paths over custom paths 😅
Have not finished yet probs will go plant more trees
I have a money tree layout and was wondering what kind of paths would work best inbetween the trees ?
maybe a little pebble path, i have a qr code for one :)) @tribal pelican
@feral birch I think changing one to stone fence might be better, thanks for helping!
@tribal pelican if you're sticking to in-game paths, I'd say brick or terracotta. if you're looking into custom paths you might be able to find one that's golden! not sure if you're going for a fancy/royal vibe or not haha
@feral birch you could add a little sewing area maybe? using the old-fashioned sewing machine and maybe a sturdy sewing box or sewing kit (:
@bratty.alani#4253 aww, i just had a look and found i dont have any of those. off to nookazon 💀😭
Oooh, you could also drop a couple of coins around if you're saving your custom patterns for other things!
Yeah I’ve done that too! I think the look of the pattern is maybe a little cleaner, but if you don’t have the space dropped coins are also super nice!!
What should I do for a entrance?
if anyone needs tips for saving custom design space, facepaint/eyebrows stay on your face if you change the pattern to something else. also flags and phones do that.
What should I do for a entrance?
@slate burrow what theme are you going for? :))
I’m doing multiple
Any ideas for an 18th century island? Anything 1700s vibes would be helpful. I need your creativity 🥺

@tender cedar i have an antique bu- im not going to attempt to remember also i have an antique table and an antique chair, you can have. :))
Like.. uh think of wonderland if it were retro
Lmao idk how to describe it @feral birch
@tender cedar kind of just brainstorming but what if you had different areas to represent the different major events of that century? like the boston tea party, revolutionary war, etc (sorry, history was never my strong suit 😭)
@tender cedar it’s not mine, but hoping it helps you with rooms

@bratty.alani#4253 uh, please come to my island right now and use your creative ideas 🤩🤭🤭
@feral birch honestly most of the suggestions I'm giving are based on things I've seen and liked from Discord/Twitter or in Youtube tours!! 😂 I'm not all that creative on my own lol
@stuck trail, your island must look perfect ✨
@tender cedar also found these diner rooms
@tender cedar kind of just brainstorming but what if you had different areas to represent the different major events of that century? like the boston tea party, revolutionary war, etc (sorry, history was never my strong suit 😭)

@tender cedar also found these diner rooms
@woven drift ah! I know this wasn’t for me but this also helps me! Thank you!

Any ideas for an 18th century island? Anything 1700s vibes would be helpful. I need your creativity 🥺
@tender cedar I'd think the residents houses would be somewhat far apart from each other with farms, then there'll be a center/street where all the shops line up such as glassblowing, typewriting/newspaper, tavern, blacksmith etc :) lots of dirt roads and barrels, horse barns, and more. I'm kinda going off memory of a project I did in elementary school 😂😅
Anyone have a “check in” area for inspo? I am trying to make a little resort

Any ideas for this blank part? I can't really think of anything
Shell or natural table for beachside cafe? Suggestions for any other furniture to make the cafe look like a cafe
Any ideas for this blank part? I can't really think of anything
@clever sonnet
A cafe? Public bathroom? Some fossils? A Pokemon center? A sandbox "children like" area? An altar for weddings?
@upper sandal definitely the shell table

@simple pine a stargazing spot?
@upper sandal if you did the natural table you could have a few smaller ones using the square table
@simple pine a stargazing spot?
@feral birch
Sounds cool
@upper sandal definitely the shell table
@woven drift should I put fish models on the tables?
Wonder what that fox do to be worth so many bells...
@feral birch
Sounds cool
@simple pine
Thanks guys :) I already have a star gazing spot, but the issue is that this strip of land is kind of narrow; it's only eight or so blocks wide
You can make an alyar> @simple pine

@undone frost I’m making one as a house for my old island. I’m doing like a big golf course but it’s golf throughout the whole island 😅 I can kinda show you what I have so far that might work for outside check in as well.
Frick, no one showed up to my wedding, not even my wife
@upper sandal I feel like the fish models don’t look as nice some you can get away with that look nice, but maybe like those little candle holders as well? Mix it up with both probably will look the best in my opinion.
