@vernal oxide LOL yeah I'm working on my entrance and beach I'll show a photo of it when it's done should be tonight 🤞

still summit
#

uploading island to dream suite is ofc not yet possible, but based on what luna said it seems like it's not going to automatically update on itself, maybe

indigo ravine
dawn ermine
#

@indigo ravine bottom in my opinion

indigo ravine
#

The bridge may be in a different area btw

icy flint
#

i like the bottom but maybe change the bench press to what's on the first pic and add a screen instead

radiant root
#

Thumbs down if I should keep the heart where it is. Thumbs up if I should move the heart centered on downtown

@austere owl
Hm wdym?
@half isle Say someone was terraforming and they want you to check out this cliff to see if it looks ok, They end the terraforming process and let the game autosave, And then gives the dream code to a friend to take a look, the friend goes to bed, enter the code and dreams of the town, They are then asked to then go to the location of the map where said cliff is. After giving confirmation / criticism and then return to the bed to go back home

indigo ravine
icy flint
#

maybe more center but that's my ocd talking

@austere owl just visit their island, this isn’t how dream suite is designed. It doesn’t update unless you manually do it

half isle
#

Dream suite allows you to visit the person’s island without having them online

@austere owl just visit their island, this isn’t how dream suite is designed. It doesn’t update unless you manually do it
@scenic blaze huh, well it was just a thought I had so..

pure nimbus
#

@scenic blaze I’m gonna need these custom designs when the servers are up again

scenic blaze
pure nimbus
#

Wait you made these designs ?

indigo ravine
#

And what about something like this for drago? I'd probs add a sakura picnic basket to match his food and eating aesthetic.

woven drift
scenic blaze
#

Ya all the designs on my island are made by me

pure nimbus
#

Wow

vernal oxide
#

@woven drift whatever vibe you want. Pick the villagers you like. simple

icy flint
#

^ what envy said i made coco a library and now shes getting a cemetery

indigo ravine
woven drift
#

yes

vernal oxide
#

@scenic blaze you literally never fail to surprise me 🤩

scenic blaze
#

It’s part of what takes me so dang long to make areas lol

austere owl
vernal oxide
#

@scenic blaze it’s okay love. Everything you make is perfection 👌🏼

scenic blaze
#

Let me introduce you to “pile of garbage because I ran out of house storage” and you’ll change your mind

icy flint
#

mothras time on a certain part- 1 month lmao but time is key lmao

pure nimbus
#

Oh the servers are back

icy flint
#

i started to blend in trash bags and garbage cans around with diys to add some littering

plain forge
#

@indigo ravine imo, based off the house designs I would group Drago and Genji together and Kabuki separate bc of his house + because you want to make him a stage. But by aesthetics of their character Kabuki and Genji would go together bc they're Japanese and Drago is a more Chinese character so I'd put him separate lol

uncut brook
woven drift
#

wow amazing, stunning, incredible, unique, powerful, godly FROGGY

vernal oxide
#

@scenic blaze okay but like same. And this is the area I need to work on so 💀

icy flint
#

ill be impressed if you actually do that

uncut brook
#

what, froggy?

icy flint
#

yes

indigo ravine
#

@plain forge huh. My idea was to have genji in a higher area because he is always "training in mountains", but idk. I just thought that would be cool

uncut brook
#

ok l'd do it if it were possible

icy flint
#

i mean technically you can if instead of the red you just add a path way

sand harness
#

Looking for some cottage core 5 star islands dream address please!!!

lethal thunder
#

lf a butterfly garden inspiration!

plain forge
#

@indigo ravine ooh, I thought you wanted to put them all together? The mountain for Genji is a great idea! Drago looks like he would be in some temple-y area and Kabuki more in a countryside (again bc house design) but if you put a theatre in his yard then maybe in a more populated area?

indigo ravine
#

@lethal thunder I've got you covered. Gimme a moment

sand harness
#

Looking for some AMAZING dreams addresses!!!!

misty relic
indigo ravine
plain forge
#

@indigo ravine in that case then yess all three designs are good! :)

indigo ravine
#

I@plain forge also, I've got one more bridge and one more incline left, I could use both to get to the mountainous area and across, or I could always just use the incline to get to genji and have the bridge go off to a separate Drago area

jagged wharf
#

anyone dropping a dream address? 😻

strange thorn
#

Can anyone help me with where and how I should place my nooks cranny? I made a idea and now it turned out to be a total fail :( I'm really on the edge of restarting. All thanks to the stupid placement of the residents service too

sand harness
#

Looking for some dream address 🙂

plain forge
#

@indigo ravine I'd put 1 incline with genji and the bridge with Drago! If genji is training he's gotta hop around rivers, no bridges for him 😂

#

I want mothra to share their address also envy

#

@indigo ravine I'd put 1 incline with genji and the bridge with Drago! If genji is training he's gotta hop around rivers, no bridges for him 😂
@plain forge SMART. I could maybe put a waterfall leading off into dragons area owo. I could put genji and drago's areas towards the back, and have kabuki's area be closer to the residential area.

scenic blaze
#

@white heath isahearts mine isn’t quite ready yet but I might get impatient and post it unfinished later

weary vale
#

I heard theres another morgan looking for a butterfly garden inspo

pure nimbus
#

Yes I need to visit sedum

regal sedge
#

Anyone have a star gazing area that’s not by the rocks? 🙂 looking for inspo!

plain forge
#

@indigo ravine ooo I love the waterfall idea! Do post your progress I'd love to see it come out ~~

indigo ravine
#

@plain forge got it. I gotta get kabuki first tho O_0

#

I've got someone who has a amibo and will give kabuki to me got my price, but I need freaking sandy to want to move out. Kabuki is my last dream villager

icy flint
#

tbh @indigo ravine i think you'll have better odds finding him yourself because i looked at the channels and he barely came up unless hes more rare now or more common

plain forge
#

@indigo ravine oof good luck!! There was a point in time that he was a dreamie (when I was Japanese themed) villagersadheartbreak but I didn't encounter him until after I switched

weary vale
indigo ravine
#

@icy flint I already got somebody who's gonna get him to me through amibo. That's how I got genji as well. It's easy cuz they can kick out whoever he wants through amibo. So they invites kabuki, and kick him out with another villager through amibo

vernal oxide
plain forge
#

Cat villagers are pretty rare to find on islands tho bc theres so many of them, so the odds are super low islanderstarecursed villagersadheartbreak

icy flint
#

lmao jae kabuki was like my top 3 dreamie and even though i decided on a theme thats not Japanese i still have a small zen area for him but he's gonna be next to a cemetery now

indigo ravine
#

I'm excited for his theatre!

icy flint
#

@indigo ravine wow that's nice the amiibos im seeing online are super expensive but you're so lucky spent 30nmt on mine

vernal oxide
#

I found Kabuki on an island when I started my new island lol

#

Wasn’t really my type so I gave him away 🥺

plain forge
#

@icy flint I love the character designs of the villagers but house design is important to me so it'd annoy me to have a random shack in the middle of my city 😭😭😭 I had to give away Marcel bc I couldn't for the life of me place him on my island after the switch pietrosad i miss him so much ngl

regal sedge
#

@regal sedge this was my old island!
@vernal oxide thank you!!

indigo ravine
#

Tho... looking at it now, maybe I should swap the black area with the red area. More room width wise. But idk. I guess I'll just have to test that out ig.

wraith veldt
#

I'm trying to make a big city on my Island and I was wondering if anybody has any ideas for a street vendor, like somebody who sells Goods at a flea market

scenic blaze
#

I picked about half of my villagers based on house design, I miss the villager house exterior glitch bc now I can’t put my fave villagers in cuter houses sad

icy flint
#

@plain forge i guess that's true but mainly i go for their looks or if i just like them i got marina and zucker for their cove, tia for a cafe usually i go along with their house colors and not the house aspect to fit the theme if that makes sense

scenic blaze
#

@wraith veldt if you search “in:island-layouts has:image market” you can see what other people have done

#

hey guys, restarting my island today, what should i be looking out for in regards to river and plaza placemrnt? restarting because i really don't like how my plaza is quite far from the airport but also quite in line with it bc i felt like it restricted my options

icy flint
#

@wraith veldt i remember someone tried to make a new york/ downtown vibe and they tried to make it super cramped with items and a lot of lights, and recorders to make music

sleek ginkgo
#

I need help, I have too many flowers but don’t feel like giving them away nor do I have any idea on what to do with them.

vernal oxide
wraith veldt
#

Kthx

icy flint
#

@sleek ginkgo move the certain color flowers to certain spots for example tia's house is blue and white so i added different blue and white flowers to her cafe, for marina i added white, and pink flowers

vernal oxide
#

@sleek ginkgo also completely non animal crossing related but love the profile pic

plain forge
#

@icy flint oooh yeah! I've seen your little areas for villagers and you've made it work! cookiepleadeyes I'm getting ankha's amiibo bc of her looks tbh but now I'm debating if I even wanna amiibo her in anymore bc I can't place her either 😭😂

sleek ginkgo
#

@vernal oxide thanks lol, I’m actually matching with someone rn

#

@icy flint hmm, I would do that but I don’t have space for it

icy flint
#

@plain forge yeah lol just put them in the right spot to fit the theme of the island and their looks, and if you have space on a side of the beach you can maybe make a 'sand fort' and add some sand castles and pyramids and the sphinx if you have space?

uncut brook
#

i mean technically you can if instead of the red you just add a path way
@icy flint that was a path way

austere owl
#

Guys, Natural wood or dark wood for the plain wooden shop sign?

still summit
#

yep Luna will say can't visit your own dream island

uncut brook
#

i mean you cant because the airport and the resident services @icy flint

icy flint
#

@uncut brook maybe invert it and make froggy be level 1, and then raise the background to level 2 that could work

uncut brook
#

oohhhh smart

past zephyr
#

Does anyone have a code for a boarder that goes with brick and terracotta? I had seperate ones for each but with such limited slots ill just have to decide on one so ;_; help pls

plain forge
#

@icy flint that would work if I don't have a set neighborhood with 6 houses (she's gonna be in it ahaha) soooo I'll just make the best of it or make her kinda temporary since I can always amiibo her back in when I want cookiehahatongue

uncut brook
#

a fridge it looks like

icy flint
#

@native moth a white dresser maybe?

vernal oxide
#

@past zephyr there should be a list of the ones you can use in the pinned section of either #custom-design-help🎨 or #path-codes can’t remember which one! It’s in a huge doc sort of thing under “borders”!

shadow temple
#

@native moth i think those are white snack machines!

@rugged rain hey again, i’m really sorry that i havent responded back to you in forever, i burned out and didn’t play for a good month or so, but as i was starting to get back into the game i realized that i wasn’t satisfied with my island and wanted to do more with the ideas i’ve accumulated. i’d love to welcome you back to my new island once it’s complete yj_heart_sparkle

Alright! I had this tiki bar on my island but I’ve decided that it doesn’t fit my aesthetic. I’m determined to get rid of it but before I do, I need ideas of what to fill the area with instead! I am going for a natural, cottagecore island and I’m not entirely sure what I should put there.

rugged rain
#

@sullen crown Heyy, ahh I understand. If you aren't happy with your town and don't play because of it resetting might be the fresh start that gets you into it again. Excited so see what you come up with next! And no wonder I still have nothing going on on my island if people with beautiful towns like yours aren't even excited about their towns anymore xD

Does anyone have a pic of side by side staircases? Can they be 1 tile apart or right next to each other?

it's a living/down time area... because they work at different parts of my island..

@heavy cobalt mayve add garden rocks, butterfly models, hyacinth lamps, and blooming bushes around the gnomes for now, it can still look enchanted until you get mush diys :)

how does time of day work for dream addresses? like, if i upload at night, will the island always be night when people visit? or will it just work in real time?

@indigo ravine you can go on nookazon and find those chairs. They have different colors you can see that it comes in

#

@chilly sparrow it’s not a bad thing to create an themed island you like. It’s the most popular one for a reason. But sometimes it’s too overused.Because sometimes they all end up looking similar to one another. But what’s important is that they like it.

try planning it, but if thats not your thing then i would recommend just going square by square on the map grid, it makes it a lot easier to manage imo @civic anchor

winter arch
twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor start with your entrance and work your way around. Maybe focus on a theme that you guys like, but you of course don’t have to stick to that theme. My overall theme is tropical resort, but I have themed areas for my villagers rather than yards. Decide if you want your villagers in one area or scattered. And decide how you want to implement it. I suggest moving everything to the beach to give the most room to work with.

civic anchor
#

@stoic pawn are there any good websites or apps you recommend

stoic pawn
#

there are some good sites in the pins

civic anchor
#

Do you tend to just chop all the trees down and replant them?

twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor if you’re looking for something natural, try to work with the terraforming you have and build on from that. But if you’re looking for something more modern, you can tear things down as you go. @weak marlin that belongs in the #happy-home-designs just FYI so you don’t get in trouble

weak marlin
#

@twilit lintel thanks! mb xD

twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor I work at one area at a time so that I don’t cut it all down because when you start decorating, you need wood to craft furniture

stoic pawn
#

id recommend digging up the trees rather than chopping them so you dont have to wait for new ones to grow

civic anchor
#

Good point, thanks @twilit lintel

twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor regular wood is probably the most used resource next to stone and iron nuggets. So having those trees as a harvesting resource is important

stoic pawn
#

what theme were you thinking of going for?

civic anchor
#

We haven't decided yet, we're currently clearing up what we had before, so the fences and paths. Hoping to get some inspo from here. Then also with the new update looking at dream codes and such

twilit lintel
#

You don’t have to stick to a theme. But you can focus on it to help you organize your ideas. But you don’t have to stick to it in every part of your island. It’s how you make it flow together that allows you to have multiple themed areas @civic anchor

civic anchor
#

We have different styles so that may be the case @lchanchan2

quartz violet
#

I have an issue I turn the switch on, I have screen shots for days, I wanna make my island look pretty and when I get on it's like I'm clue less. Idk what to do, where to start, I got some nice parts of my island but missing so many gaps. I wanna cry.

twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor If one of you likes the more rural look and the other one likes the more modern look, you could always split the island in half and try to blend the two areas in the middle. Some people like to split it from left to right or bottom to top.. just depends on how you want to place your stuff

#

@quartz violet start with one area at a time. Decide if you need certain areas to be smaller or larger. Decide if you actually need that area to see if it actually makes sense on your island.

quartz violet
#

It's these damn flowers they grow in rapid fire rate.

#

I spend like 10 minutes just removing these demon spawns.

twilit lintel
#

@quartz violet a lot of people tend to make certain areas larger than what they actually need to be. People also tend to space out their furniture when it’s not necessary. All you need is to have enough room to move essentially. Everything does not have to be functional. It’s not like you’re gonna have guest all the time. So it doesn’t have to be functional. If you have too many flowers, hire someone to get rid of them in the #flower-plants-trade or sell them.

This gonna take hours to clear out the flowers! Wish me luck

Back to the endless questions 😅 How do you guys section off the bits of island, and how do you cope with having to move the houses

fair prawn
#

@civic anchor I like to pick an area give it a purpose and colour and decorate accordingly

twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor it just depends on how you make your areas flow together. Some people use cliffs, fences, and rivers to section things. I suggest moving all the houses to the beach. It will cost you a lot but worth it

stoic pawn
#

To section off areas of the island i like to use cliffs and trees because they have good height, using some valleys is a good way to connect areas of the island, rivers are also obviously good at separating areas as well. I planned where i wanted all the houses using paths before i moved them because i dont have enough money to move them to the beach and then to their positions, but i imagine moving them to the beach would make it a lot easier to terraform ur island

fair prawn
#

@civic anchor some people like to do massive areas for villagers, and others like to do residential areas to give it a more urbanised look

twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor if you plan on scattering you’re villagers, then you don’t necessarily need to move them until you have a perfect spot for them. I originally had them in one area, but then I decided to scatter them to make it more natural. But I only moved each villager until I knew I had a spot open for that area.

fair prawn
#

@twilit lintel I really want to see your island now. Your map looks so cool. Do you have a dream address yet?

civic anchor
#

So currently there grouped together in 2s and 3s close ish to each other but want to scatter them a bit more to get a more villagey vibe

twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor I also had my dream villagers once upon a time ago, but realized the areas that I built did not match my villagers, so I got rid of half of my villagers to get new ones to match the areas I have placed.

@fair prawn just dm me and I’ll get you my address when I create one

stoic pawn
#

@civic anchor i put villager houses near each other based on the look of the house or the personality of the villager, they sort of have a more cohesive feel when they are grouped a bit i think if youre going for a sort of village vibe

civic anchor
#

@stoic pawn I was planning foe each house to have it's own area and I can decorate it as each villager comes and goes so I don't have to be constantly moving them back and forth

twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor that’s what I did. The villagers that I haven’t gotten rid of are placed in my theme areas just temporarily until they decide to move out. I just have one villager left to get rid of.

@civic anchor honestly the 5 star rating doesn’t mean much. Like it says it’s a 5 star just because you met the requirements. But really, It doesn’t mean it actually is one.

civic anchor
#

@twilit lintel that's what I felt like with mine

fair prawn
#

I think the fact that their is a tree limit is ridiculous

ember cedar
#

ik but i ran out of the cedar trees 😦

#

there is?

stoic pawn
#

yeah its really dumb

twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor I had rebuilt my island 5 times and each time it was a 5 star. But did it actually look like one? Nope. So the 5 star rating is actually worthless. It’s only point for it is to get the gold watering can

stoic pawn
#

190 is the max u can have with 5 stars, over 220 gives a penalty

ember cedar
#

i never knew there was a limit for trees and idk how to make my island look nice or even terraform lol. i spent the entire day yesterday turning it into a blank canvas

twilit lintel
#

@ember cedar start with one area at a time and then build off of that

civic anchor
#

@ember cedar same

twilit lintel
#

Start with the entrance since that is the area that people have the hardest time with

ember cedar
#

literally there isnt even any lakes on my island atm

twilit lintel
#

@civic anchor @ember cedar

#

@ember cedar that’s fine if it’s completely blank.

limpid aspen
#

Flattened and destroyed all rivers gang 👏

stoic pawn
#

rivers are so hard to make look natural

ember cedar
#

i looked at other peoples islands but i lowkey just got unmotivated lol

twilit lintel
#

@ember cedar @limpid aspen I’ve done it 5 times. So it’s fine. You just learn as you go

limpid aspen
#

Just make them bendy and jagged

twilit lintel
#

@ember cedar just take inspo and take a couple days to plan it out. Don’t rush it

limpid aspen
#

My island is coming along nice so I can be the inspiration to show that y’all can do it

ember cedar
#

yay

limpid aspen
#

A good way I plan and get motivation is to take a picture of the area I’m decorating and sketch out what I want in photoshop, this way it’s easier to get an idea of how to start in game

ember cedar
#

hopefully i can do a cottagecore theme but the rivers just look rlly straight

twilit lintel
#

@ember cedar everything is trial and error. Like I said, I did it 5 times. Now my island looks better than what it did before

ember cedar
#

this was the 2nd time i restarted my island bc i REGRET what i did initially. like how i moved the villagers houses before i even started terraforming.

proud seal
#

i took a month's break from the game bc i had no idea how to design my island but now ive just decided to do whatever comes to mind :/

ember cedar
#

@proud seal that's okay tho cus same i think it took me weeks to actually play the game

limpid aspen
#

@ember cedar you can see one of my home-made rivers here, just try and make it have bends and rougher edges

oblique vapor
#

I played the game for at least 400 hours. Then I got burnt out:/ but no I think I wanna play

twilit lintel
#

@ember cedar lol I regretted every single time. But it’s worth it. So just keep working it out. Like honestly, the more you talk about how crappy your island is, the more you believe it. Just gotta stop making yourself think it looks crappy and do something about it.

proud seal
#

also cottagecore is a good theme bc everything doesnt have to be symmetrical or flow perfectly

ember cedar
#

i might try island designing first so i don't need to stress too much lol

autumn island
#

Really need more flower bed / arrangement ideas

oblique vapor
#

I had a cottage core theme from the beginning and now it’s a trend?

limpid aspen
#

You say that like it’s bad to follow trends

oblique vapor
#

No lol I’m just asking?

ember cedar
#

i might do fairycore to idk aaah

proud seal
#

its been like tht since new leaf hasnt it?

stoic pawn
#

its always been a really big thing, just took a while for people to be happy enough with their islands to share them

oblique vapor
#

Hm

woven drift
#

Guys how do I start fire work lmao

ember cedar
#

its okay to take inspiration cus whats the point if u arent happy w ur island :<

woven drift
ember cedar
#

i cant speak tho i keep trying to perfect everything and then it gets worse and worse whew

limpid aspen
#

Fairycore is a bit tougher than cottagecore imo

ember cedar
#

hmm ig so

proud seal
#

why not both? lol

limpid aspen
#

Ofc if you want to do it go for it

ember cedar
#

i might do both too

limpid aspen
#

Yeah I’m mixing the two for my own island

stoic pawn
#

ive got a mix of fairycore witchy and cottagecore

ember cedar
#

both are super cute haha

twilit lintel
#

I had a cottage core theme from the beginning and now it’s a trend?
@oblique vapor it’s not a trend. It’s just a popular theme

limpid aspen
#

Good thing about cottagecore is there is no set style, you can make it however you want to

ember cedar
#

i thought abt doing an alice in wonderland uwu

woven drift
ember cedar
#

that's so cute!! 💖

twilit lintel
#

@ember cedar there’s a few people that had done that them. So it’s possible

civic anchor
#

@ember cedar if you look in the pinned posts there's really nice custom designs to help plan where buildings are going

proud seal
#

i want a part of my island to look like ballonlea from pokemon swsh but its gonna take a lot of mush lamps lol

ember cedar
#

yea but it takes alot of crafting !

stoic pawn
#

@ember cedar i did a trade on an alice in wonderland island the other day and id never seen one with that theme and it was absolutely stunning

ember cedar
#

really? i hope i can make mine look nice too!

stoic pawn
#

good luck!! keep us updated on here and send pics!

ember cedar
#

actually i really wanted to do disney themed areas or like a winnie the pooh themed area ❤️

stoic pawn
#

someone on here a while ago sent a winnie the pooh table thing (i forgot what they called it) but if you search you should be able to find it and it was so cute

ember cedar
#

i'll go look for some!! i'm v excited but very nervous to start the process cus i might mess up again lol

#

idk why but i always have the urge to reset my island for no reason but i already have my dreamies on my island so maybe not this time

stoic pawn
#

skdfjlsd same i dont like the layout i chose but i have so many of my dreamies and i dont want to lose them so looks like its just major terraforming renovations

deft sage
#

Anyone have a dream address so I can visit haha

visual stirrup
#

dreaming is gonna help me so much in terms of designing omg

stoic pawn
ember cedar
#

ikk :< i didn't even know that my first villagers on my first island who were roald and dom were famous

stoic pawn
#

omg nooo

#

i got fauna when one of my plots autofilled and i was so happy

ember cedar
#

it sucks cus i really liked dom but my dumb self decided to restart cus idek 😄

indigo ravine

ember cedar
#

ok so out of curiousity like if you had to kick any of my villagers who are : marshall, judy, fauna, diana, poppy, cheri, sherb, maple, and chevre who would it be?

#

i'm thinking abt kicking one for another dreamie

proud seal
#

i have chevre and im trying to move her out

stoic pawn
#

unpopular opinion but judy

ember cedar
#

same i wld probably kick judy out

stoic pawn
#

her eyes scare me lol

junior burrow
#

I hate Judy

ember cedar
#

her house doesn't rlly match my theme

proud seal
#

plus u'll get lots of nmt from her lol

soft basalt
#

is anyone open for island map design request? i'm looking for help with my island layout and design. i can pay with nmt or bells. thanks so much🙂

proud seal
#

i was quite surprised when i realised shes a snooty

junior burrow
#

Her house is ugly

ember cedar
#

hmm maybe i'll kick judy today

#

i got her 2 times but i sold her when she came the first time

stoic pawn
#

i thought she was peppy until may lol

ember cedar
#

lool same

languid rapids
#

Gib food

twilit lintel
#

@indigo ravine it’s called a screen and they come in different versions

ember cedar
#

i want dobie aaah :<

blazing night
#

has anyone got any cool rock layouts that aren't just a circle? I sort of want to try and make a sea serpent type layout with the rocks, with the rocks being the parts that sit above the water, but I'm looking for some inspo on that kinda thing

junior dome
#

hi 🙂 I think I sent an image of my map planner? can anyone tell me if it appears?

ember cedar
#

maple's trying to move out again i

junior dome
#

what method are you using btw? I want to kick out someone too lol

ember cedar
#

@junior dome it didn't appear :<

junior dome
#

oh okay! I’ll send it ^.^

ember cedar
#

i just time skip a year haha

junior dome
#

omg what about the weeds and that?😳

stoic pawn
#

@blazing night thats such a cool idea

ember cedar
#

i remove it afterwards

junior dome
#

so I’m planning my map but I think it looks kinda empty? (ofc there is no houses and that but I’m talking abt the spaces between the musuem and orchard) any opinions or tips?

ember cedar
#

or actually i started the campsite method and then after i noticed there were more thought bubbles showing

junior dome
#

I use the 15 days and then +1 day and that

ember cedar
#

sometimes it just shows randomly and also what's the theme u wanna do?

autumn island
#

I’ve tried posting my dream address in the right section but it wont let me
Da -1619-4845-9907

junior dome
#

something like city-ish (this dessign applied to the island)

#

or kinda regal? idk how is it called

ember cedar
stoic pawn
#

nooo maple

woven drift
#

maybe a hedge maze? I'm not sure what area you're talking about that's empty haha

junior dome
#

maple is the cutest ❤️

ember cedar
#

ooo i like that theme!

junior dome
#

@woven drift like the spaces between the orchard and museum

#

yes! I like that kinda “blocky” map and terraform, just that idk how to execute it in a way that doesn’t look too “boring” i guess?

#

with boring I mean repetitive

ember cedar
#

i might actually stop planning too much cus sometimes it doesn't look as good on the island as the map if uk what i mean

junior dome
#

oh yeyeye, it’s just that I’m so indecisive and I love to plan everything

ember cedar
#

same 😔

woven drift
#

ah I'm the opposite of you, so I can't help much, but maybe using different pathing in each section and having specific colors/plants in each can help differentiate each area.

stoic pawn
#

i cant use island planners, they confuse me when im actually making it and they dont really work for my theme

junior dome
#

and add the fact that I’m a little not too good in terraforminf lmao

#

@woven drift yeah... that’ll work too! thanks

ember cedar
#

im such a clown lol i payed my full loan off for the last island and then resetted cus i was too impatient for the terraforming stuff and i thought i had too much weeds

ornate jetty
woven drift
junior dome
#

@stoic pawn I don’t like that map planner a lot cause not all mechanincs are put into it but I want to have a little control hahahaha

ember cedar
#

and sylvia would not at all move out :-:

woven drift
#

BAHAHAHAHHAHAH FIRE WORK GO BRRRRR

ornate jetty
junior dome
#

@ember cedar lmao I’m thinking on reseting to have another layout but I have a lot of money I don’t wanna loose it lol

stoic pawn
#

@ember cedar omgg sylvia was my starter and she moved out last week

junior dome
#

my layout it’s terrible, and my resident services is really really close to the airport

proud seal
#

sylvia was also my first villager!

ornate jetty
#

Lol

ember cedar
#

bye she keeps showing up at my campsite and im like plis no bye

ornate jetty
#

Mine is too but i worked around it

junior dome
#

which villager are you looking for?

#

@ornate jetty it’s just that I’m not good at terraforming lol and I get a little desperate

ember cedar
#

@junior dome u should if u wanna! no point in sticking w an island that doesnt make u happy

#

and u can earn alot of bells from selling items on nookazon ❤️

ornate jetty
#

@junior dome i am good at it but... use the stock island, smooth rivers and extend/retract cliffs where needed

junior dome
#

maybe I’ll do it but I’m not sure :((

#

sis I have Stitches, Diana, Pietro, Kabuki, imagine all the bells omg

ember cedar
#

if u need bells i can help! :> ik how hard it is to reset lool

ornate jetty
#

You don’t need to terraform alot to make a town nice

ember cedar
#

sell them !! and then start a new island, some people will pay u nmts to get the villagers

ornate jetty
#

Also i know the pain of resetting... lost my first town to it

#

It was a week old and had 2 million

junior dome
#

@ornate jetty Ik but I kinda want to have an amazing-pinterest like island lol

woven drift
#

just decorate one section at a time. planning a full island at once is stressful

junior dome
#

@ember cedar omg ik, they are not raymond-like but that’ll be a lot

ember cedar
#

i had to tell my friend to help me w my bells cus.. 24m is alot to move w just 40 slots in ur pockets

junior dome
#

@woven drift you are right! I’ll trynna be less controlative

ornate jetty
#

@junior dome u could still make it more impressive with space limits too

ember cedar
#

i think earning bells first b4 decorating helped me

junior dome
#

hahahaa omg I also have like 24m

woven drift
#

yes yes, it gets overwhelming, but i think resetting would just add on the stress. I know it would be for me at least

junior dome
#

@ornate jetty wdym with space limits?

ember cedar
#

:-:

stoic pawn
#

how do u get so many bells like everyone seems to have so much and i have like 1.8mil and a home loan

woven drift

turnips

ember cedar
#

ornate jetty
#

stoic pawn
#

oh lol that makes sense

junior dome
#

ember cedar
#

i also sell on nookazon so i get around 3m a day or smth idek

ornate jetty

ember cedar
#

#

@ornate jetty I was thinking on a Versailles gardens design? I love that place and it’ll be so cool

stoic pawn
#

i lost 300000 from turnips bc my sister time travelled back once, that was the end for me 😔

ornate jetty
#

U can make it work still and nice

junior dome
#

hahahhaha

ornate jetty
#

U lack confidence in yourself

junior dome
#

a lot 😦

#

I struggle when making decisions, imagine how bad I am with a videogame about talking animals lol

ember cedar
#

i cannot stress dis enough plis sell ur turnips before time travelling

junior dome
#

sometimes I forgot I have turnips and just tt lmao

stoic pawn
#

ik i was so mad at her when she did it

ember cedar
#

the reason why i never bought turnips on my 2nd island cus it takes too much effort trying to sell them

ornate jetty
#

I dont coz im at 32 mil

proud seal
#

i just wait until my nooks is buying turnips at a decent to high price and buy a bunch of turnips from someone else's island

junior dome
#

lit rally@ember cedar I have like 3 months with the game and I never had a big spike

stoic pawn
#

ive been playing since release and the highest price at my nooks has been 230

woven drift
#

Guys what else is there to this weird update besides fire work and ruined dreams

ember cedar
#

be careful making ppl go to ur island tho, i had someone come once and they plucked all my gold flowers :<

stoic pawn
#

noo

woven drift
#

They grow back. I love it when ppl pluck and sell 120 gold Roses haha

junior dome
#

I think life would be easier if we could terraform in the beach
