A pizzaria maybe? Or some landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or the leaning tower of Pisa @glacial lily
@woven drift maybe try finding some cataloging parties in #cataloging or checking out some #dream-addresses🌜 or even visiting some islands in #mysterybags-and-yardsales to get some ideas!! Personally I looked at 5 star islands and used items I found and liked on my island
F it , I can’t play this game anymore 😂. Have no idear how people get such amazing islands. Good luck to you all, it really is a nice community
thanks @vernal oxide . But personally don’t have the time or commitment to be able to get a good island , going to start looking at other games , hope you get a great island !
NEED SOME NOOKS CRANNY INSPO!
Hi i'm looking for the picture of common villager home layouts-thank you!
@woven drift it’s honestly all trial and error lmao I take all kinds of break from the game. You’re not going to have a perfect island, a lot of people are designers irl so it’s much easier for them to design islands and such. Personally I am a full time student taking classes year round, and i work part time as well as take care of my younger brothers when I’m not working. I barely have free time to play lol but those times when I do, I play and get little areas/parts done. So don’t give up yet! Youll find something in the game you’ll like and want to add to your island
@winter kernel someone sent you the guide already for neighborhood. What help do you need?
@plucky gate this is what I did with my Nooks
??? that was hours ago and I've since closed the tab-I would just like to see it again?
what do you mean "what help do you need"
@plucky gate Heres my nooks
@winter kernel you can save the photo if you click on it and download it. You can also screenshot it or search in the top right search bar to see who mentioned you. I was asking if you needed the same photo sent again, or needed help with something else
i have a garden area behind some villagers houses and i was wondering how should this garden shed be?
do i change the colors?
what do i put in it?
alright there it is ty
@plucky gate Heres my nooks
@soft plaza woah!
@plucky gate this is mine!
@vernal oxide , thanks for the encouragement, I’ll defiantly keep it in mind , I’ll keep playing the game and do each part of my island bit by bit . I’ll eventually get there ! hope you have a great day / night where ever you are !
@woven drift same to you! I can’t wait to see what you end up doing with your island 👀
@vernal oxide I’ll keep you updated ! 👀
Can I see how you guys have your player houses set up?
Anyone have inspiration for a natural plaza/sitting area with a fountain? Please help me out :)
You made that path work so well
woah pepper long time no see - welcome back!
Any ideas for Beau's house? I'm kinda stuck
@thorny dawn Heres my natural fountain sitting area
@soft plaza do you know the creator code for that white brick?
@plucky gate idk what your theme is but here’s my nooks 😊

@manic eagle I set up a small patch of orange and white flowers in front of Beau's house myself. Maybe you could do that or possibly use shrubs?
I need ideas for really small areas
Ty! @soft plaza
Looking for inspiration for outside zells home. Don’t really like what I have right now
hi! what should i do with this area? it isn’t that wide but is very long, i’m going for an italian/french theme.
I have a quite large area and not a clue what to do with it any ideas?
@glacial lily you could always build like a playground or a small cafe or even like a spa area!
Thoughts? I have this small space I need to fill up, it’s part of my entrance and I’m gonna put a fountain in the center and some up lights, but idk what to do about the sides
Oh gosh I had another idea @glacial lily build A bakery!!
@loud mauve omg that’s a perfect idea!!! what kind of items would i use?
@glacial lily the brick oven, the stalls and any type of shelf! And then you could make a small seating area and people usually use hats to make deserts you can find them all over Instagram!
@manic eagle i really like what you have so far for him!!!! 😍 the bugs are super cute. maybe expand the pond and add some more trees and bushes??
@patent hatch maybe shrubs and hedges? and flowers
@glacial lily
@cosmic lintel okay! I’m tryna go for a white aesthetic so that would work
@dreamy river thanks! I I had another tree, but it was covering everything else so it was hard to work with :( I will for sure add bushes and some seating areas though
@manic eagle oh maybe you could cut a tree down and have a tree stump there somewhere? i think it's so cute when villagers sit on them 🥺 i also once saw someone put green mums and orange cosmos on his lawn and thought that was cute too!!
Redid my campsite a little - how do people get nice shots of bigger spaces, I can never do those 😅
@dreamy river Omg yes!!! I actually had some green mums set aside for him already, orange cosmos sound so cute too
Gullivarrr’s campsite 🏴☠️
Hello
@wintry flower dang can I camp there instead 👀
Any dodo codes
@wintry flower so cool!! I love it!
@light quartz Go to #mysterybags-and-yardsales to look for dodo codes
Okay
@wintry flower i still havent even seen gullivarr once 😭
wip of a lil post office ft apollo & his popsicle !
@simple basalt now that is cozy ♥️
Looking for inspiration for outside zells house
@wet herald once I finally got him, I stayed on that same few days so I could rob him 
@wintry flower I think the worst part is that I’ve seen normal gulliver 3 times
@nocturne elbow i love zell 🥺 so i checked the animal crossing wiki and it says that his goal is to be a movie director. what if you gave him a cute little outside theater space??
@wet herald oooof. I get so hopeful with normal gulliver thinking I’ll get another pagoda, then it’s like boom here’s another bald wig
Sorry, I kinda feel dumb but how do you get the mushroom diys?
@balmy geyser fall seasonal diy
@balmy geyser they're seasonal! they show up in the month of november
I'm in southern hemisphere so I had the mushrooms but don't have like the mush parasol and that stuff
@balmy geyser oh ok!! they can show up in balloons. check this: https://www.polygon.com/animal-crossing-new-horizons-switch-acnh-guide/2020/5/1/21242732/seasonal-mushroom-diy-recipe-list-ingredients
Help idk what to put on top of my cliff 😭😭
@balmy geyser they would have been from balloons iirc. seasonal diys have pretty low drop rates
@balmy geyser they are most probable to spawn in red balloons i think
@rancid carbon flowers! Or maybe hyacinth lamps :0
@rancid carbon some trees and a picnic :)
@rancid carbon maybe a cresent moon chair or a moon :0?
thx for the ideas ❤️
i tried to fit a moon but it won't work unless I make the size bigger
More nova lights would be cute too & reversed star clocks
okie!
Has anyone done something similar to this?
@rancid carbon a cresent moon chair should fit then because moons are 2x2 and chairs are 2x1 i think uwu
I'll try that ^^ @oak gazelle
Finished my zodiac fountain! Do the street lamps look fine or should I replace them with another lighting fixture?
Judy had her own Lavender fields hehe
@lofty moth yes! in the search bar type "in:island-layouts forced perspective"
@lofty moth use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: train” to see images others have posted that is similar to a train/train tracks!
I need some advise
Thank you Kelsey
What orange items would look good here? Does it look ok now?
The tree by it is an orange tree that’s shaken
@woven drift if you’re going with the orange theme maybe you can add some of the cardboard boxes that have the oranges on them! But it looks good!
I have this open space and I’m not sure what to do with it. I already have two cafés and am hoping to do something else
@twin birch you could never go wrong with a library or a market! There’s also a list of ideas in the pinned section if you haven’t checked them out yet!
I would love a library but I don’t have the DIY for the big bookshelf 
@twin birch what about expanding the yard of the villager to the left? and doing something for their personality!
I thought about a music area because that’s Tex’s house and he’s really into music
@twin birch you could always check #diy-trade or if you can get the materials and such you can get someone to craft it for you (sometimes for free or a fee) in #player-services !
Awesome! Thank you!
Wooden stool or diner stool
Also opinions on the red brick
yes!! a music area could be cute, when they interact with instruments and sing it's truly the cutest thing i've ever seen in my life
@sonic tiger wooden stool looks better! And the brick looks good!
I love the wooden stool
@sonic tiger i like the wooden stool too bcos it matches the stall!
Thx 😊
Just finished my train station
love your use of the custom paths!! 💖
I need major help with my “grand entrance” LOL this is going to trigger a lot of people’s perfectionism but I lack in the creative department when it comes to layouts, so please help. I really don’t want to change the placement of my area behind the waterfall.
I have a space of 24x10 in front of my plaza and behind my beach/surf and diving area. Any ideas what to put in there??
I was just kind of experimenting, it didn’t always look such a mess lol
@timid heron maybe add some bushes, flowers or artwork above the waterfall to make it feel fancy and maybe make a little pond at the front of the waterfall?
Okay that’s a good idea, thank you 🙂
Np, I find the best design happens when you play around with items. At one point it’ll just look right
what do people put behind resident services building? idk what to build because the building is going to cover it anyway 👁👄👁
all my villagers' yards 
I put a cemetery behind mine
@coarse drift I put a river behind mine for that reason. The buildings so tall it covers everything for a few tiles
@limber ginkgo I have Poppy also, I might pinch some of your design as inspiration, looks amazing!
This channel is kind of dead today
Yeah ig
@timid heron you could also try adding statues to the cliffs. That’s what i have at my super grand entrance 😭 (my RS is really far)
Yay finished this part of my cottagecore island
Ugh you are so lucky. My resident service is right in your face as soon as you walk in
Valiant statue always looks amazing at entrances imo
Here’s my entrance
@timid heron I had got my own switch only a month or two ago. And I restarted until I had my RS a mile away. And sometimes I really regret it
@coarse drift I built a hill behind my RS and placed my ables and a tea party area in there
For tommorow im looking for someone who can decorate my island head to toe. It dosnt matter if i resond now or tmr i need it for tmr. If you want price RIGHT now then dm me now.
This is my oldish entrance. I added some heart ponds around the sides and more flowers
Head to toe decorating takes weeks of work dude
the RS will cover 3~4 tiles x 6 wide when you walk past it south-north so it's actually not too bad. basically build like how you'd treat any other buildings really.
You could always elevate the land
@upper sandal you are the only one who could decorate your own island anyway, so unfortunately you wouldn’t be able to accomplish that. As well as change the land around
Lmao I have been decorating for about a month and only have the wedding area done. Its so hard to find items
my RS was part of a street district so I had a 7x5 cafe there. you won't see RS covering much of the cafe because the entrance is located on the north / east side
I elevated the back of my RS and out in a cemetary
Thanks everyone for all your help! And omg your telling me. I grinned for a week or two to have my ONE study area behind my waterfall
@young birch can you share pics of your wedding area? I’m in need of inspo
@young birch I find this discord and Nookazon super helpful to find items
Anyone got ideas for this land here? I’m trying to make it into a residential area for 5-6 houses with a small amount of space for flowers in front of/next to each one. Thanks!
Here’s my museum
Anyone got ideas for this land here? I’m trying to make it into a residential area for 5-6 houses with a small amount of space for flowers in front of/next to each one. Thanks!
@river sun how deep is it? hard to tell from your angle
@river sun villager houses are 4 long but 3. When I done my residential area I used custom paths to map out the houses then went from there - if that helps
I am looking at making an incline here (the wall above is a future yard for a villager) - should I build the cliff out one more, or do I have enough room for the incline as it is?
thank you so much for everyones help ☺️
This is my new rock garden, what y'all think?
@wispy garden wow! I’m super jealous, I’ve been trying to do a rock garden for about a week haha. It looks amazing!!
I am looking at making an incline here (the wall above is a future yard for a villager) - should I build the cliff out one more, or do I have enough room for the incline as it is?
@woven drift you don't need to, as long as the incline and villager house have 1 space in between.
I wanted my rocks in a circle but no room 
Very cute!
@river sun how deep is it? hard to tell from your angle
@still summit it is 10 blocks deep, but i am able to expand it a little 🙂
Instead of red do yellow
Y island isn’t really conductive of travel
I think white ones would look nice to make the bushes look more bold and have a neutral base if that makes
I am slowly running out of areas to decorate
I think purple flowers are the nicest and more natural looking but some of the hybrids are hard to get
⃟⃝#6477 I love the colors, I would keep them if you are going for a colorful theme or island
Area complete. Whatcha think?
Oh I love the plants hiding behind the simple panels! Very nice
Yay :D thank you @dire wren
im so close to being done with the main roads for my island
What do you all think of my picnic area
I’m in the early stages of my island- (I still got the tent RS-) and I’m trying to have my houses neatly in a row but I placed only one house the slightest bit off- the pain to look at my map
@pseudo beacon i've constantly been going back to places where i've finished
Finished the walk up to my little residential strip 
yeah ik but if i haven't i'd prob be finished and redoing my other places
This is my area behind my main beach, thoughts?
@icy flint I’ve been so sick and exhausted to finish the last of my island and it’s making me so mad lmao but like I’m also so excited to tear it all down and do a different set up
@dire wren I think it looks good! You could even set up the second pic with a stall and a fax machine on it to look like a register and it’s a swim clothing store!
Omg finally time to refresh my dream address if anyone wanted to visit me. Pshhhhh @icy flint Sweet dreams I'm gonna head to bed for reals xD
This is the before and after of my plaza/chill area. Any suggestions?
@vernal oxide I was thinking of that! I want to get a couple of tables in between the diving suits to put the snorkels on them. I might add stalls at the front with the cash register to complete the look
@dire wren that would be super cute! I completely forgot about snorkels hahaha
@thorny dawn wow that looks perfect to me! Super relaxing to look at
@vernal oxide aha me too for a while but I’m keeping my eyes on #694794156697976934 for someone who has the snorkels lmao
@dire wren Thank you so much! Do you think there are too many trees?
@dire wren hahaha my dad used to play so I got him to give me his snorkel 😭😂
@thorny dawn not at all. I think it’s a good mix of bushes, trees and flowers. I also like the mixed trees as the cedar trees don’t change with the seasons so you’ll have a nice mix when winter and autumn come round
I need to buy the snorkels. I didn’t at the beginning cause they weren’t required for diving but now I need to have them to compete the set haha
I find this discord and Nookazon super helpful to find items
@dire wren Thank you! I meant more like what items to use since I have some orginal areas!
Oh I see now! Maybe try to do some research into what items would be in those areas irl and then use Nookazon to see if those items are in the game? Or you can always ask here what items would be good in certain areas
I don’t have this issue as most of my areas are common builds judging from this channel haha
Yeah thats what i'm doing! I'm mostly struggling with my mattress store, apple store, and fireworks shop
I feel like there's only so far you can go despite there being lots of items
@woven drift I feel that so hard. I had to move one house twice to get a perfect block of four
I feel like there's only so far you can go despite there being lots of items
@balmy mantle agreed
@young birch apple store as in the tech shop or the fruit
tech shop. eveyrone gets that confused haha
This one looks pretty realistic
I've already made custom designs for my stacked laptops and phone displays
i have an area on my island i was using to breed flowers, but i moved the flowers. now i don't know what to do with the empty space. no houses fit here either.
Maybe add a lighthouse area!
i just flattened my island and started to rebuild with a new aesthetic! here is my entrance 💮
@median wasp Yeah lighthouses look amazing on the peninsula
This is my lighthouse I made yesterday
@median sonnet this looks so romantic! I can picture walking around this area in love lmao
@median wasp I put a small painting area on my peninsula! I have a lighthouse on the cliff next to it up to the left!
I’m tryna decide on a main path for my island, which one looks better?
this is my rock garden! just need a few more zodiac furniture. I actually had a nightmare last night that I broke 2 of the rocks and then the save icon appeared. does anyone else play AC in their actual dreams
@patent hatch I prefer the stone path on the right. I feel like it goes with more times than the arch one
@dire wren okay, ty!
@limber ginkgo wow the definition of boujie 😝 looks incredible!
@limber ginkgo wow the definition of boujie 😝 looks incredible!
@dire wren Ty! This ended up being the 3rd time moving the rocks 😳 hopefully never again
I like having them on a sole island too because I use a turbo controller and I can run around picking everything up without accidentally picking up furniture or kicking off a custom design
Here’s my long gone construction site that I’m rebuilding now
The Capricorn ornament would fit perfectly in there @limber ginkgo
@dire wren that's the one I wanna get next! ||All my zodiac furniture has been obtained by moving Julian and Elvis out several times||
The Capricorn and the Virgo ones are the only zodiac furniture I like. But I love the star fragments being different colours. I have then at my tiny star gazing area haha
✌️i don’t like my layout could someone halp 😁
The Mirror Chamber from Twilight Princess.
Any feedback on my Greek amphitheater would be appreciated! https://twitter.com/AyaShuffles/status/1291197914811740162?s=20
@eager lance if you need help with wanting to do a neighborhood layout maybe this will help to give you some options!
Anyone have any villagers yards?
Hi! i’m making a bakery/cafe. my island theme is france/italy. should i use the wooden path or the stone path?
Anyone have any villagers yards?
@median widget yes! Who you looking for
@river cypress oh, there is specific ones?
@glacial lily hmm I think wooden looks good!
No like is their a villager you have you want inspo for @median widget
We might share some and I can post them on here ☺️
Oh ok— well I’m not sure what to do for Lolly’s yard area
Lemme get my yard for her rq
@median wasp i put some sand paths and palm trees on my peninsula so it feels like a part of my beach!
There ya go 😄 @median widget
Ty
I have this whole half of my island to decorate! any ideas?
@safe lodge you could always do a boardwalk! On my small peninsula I personally did a painting area. And if you need some ideas for the beach maybe this will help!
@vernal oxide oohhhh
would suspension bridges or wooden bridges be better for a natural themed island?
suspension
awesome ty
np im going for a similar theme lol
Do you guys wanna see how my new construction area is coming out
yee
Did you see the old one
earlier? i think so
looks awesome maybe add some simple panels behind the bookshelf to isolate it? idk thats just me i like to close off my areas but thats just me but i love it
It’s supposed to be open like a real world construction site
aaaahhh
What do you all think of my fly over
so jealous of all of your mush furniture lmao
guys help me choose a theme 😭😭😭 fairycore or organized 😭😭
fairycore!
It's coming along! I'm not quite done yet, but at least it's looking like what I had planned.
I’ve tried fairycore before I got the permits and idk
My island just kinda ended up fairycore
Work in progress, and the museum positioning still sucks 😔 anyone got any tips?
Tomorrow im doing my nooks cranny. And ideas or inspo for it?
@rich tree the museum is 7x4 so it will always be uneven unless you use 2 inclines but with one square one between
@twilit lintel ugh I might just have to do that then thank you so much!
@woven drift I have a custom design for a hole that looks like someone used a shovel on it, if that helps with your construction site?
Hey guys I think the pink diner furniture is so cute but most of my island is foresty/fairycore did anyone with that kind of theme use diner items outside?
@safe trench vaporwave most def
Hi friends! What’s the fastest way to get as many books as possible? Doing up a library and man.... Ordering 5 books via catalogue per day is a chore 😭 Considering I need a book shelf, stack of books, tiny library, and more 😂
@shell grotto wait for a day it's on sale at Nook's or make multiple profiles and buy 5 books daily on each
Hi friends! What’s the fastest way to get as many books as possible? Doing up a library and man.... Ordering 5 books via catalogue per day is a chore 😭 Considering I need a book shelf, stack of books, tiny library, and more 😂
@shell grotto i ask in #694794156697976934 or #690093605821480980 to see if anyone's nooks is selling books
@limber ginkgo Making multiple profiles is sooo much work 😭 i’m currently TT-ing so every day, i order 5 books via catalogue. Tedious but it gets done! Just to check if it’s on sale at Nook’s, I can buy as many as I want?
proud of my graveyarddd
I really like how this pattern works for Judy’s house
@frail stump Great idea!! I’m cottagecore so I think I’ll never run out of book-related furniture. So will try and see how much I can buy at one go or hoard. 😂 I’ll do that later, thank you 😘
@shell grotto i visit someone's nooks who has books for sale with an empty inventory and buy until my inventory fills up, best way to hoard books imo XD
@shell grotto yup books are an unlimited purchase when they're on sale
@shell grotto if it’s in the nook shop, you can buy as many as you like
@frail stump would 99k bells cover an entire inventory’s worth of books bought from nooks?
That's more than enough I think books sell for like under 300
Ooo oof 3 answers the same and chat log didn’t go up /)_-
bless you all 😂 i’ll see who i can visit later. need to hoard as many as i can!!!
@shell grotto i think 14-20k is good enough
@river cypress thanks for the idea!!
I saw this on a fb group. Its not mine but wow. I can just imagine someone making an oasis isle! Something different apart from Japanese/Fairy/Pink islands!
I’m so proud of this
Hey guys I think the pink diner furniture is so cute but most of my island is foresty/fairycore did anyone with that kind of theme use diner items outside?
@safe trench merengues diner
I love custom paths
They cover up more space and they’re so fun, I wish we could have more slots
Redoing what is circled
I've been really into stunting trees lately
How do you stunt trees
What us stunting trees
Purposely making them not grow up fully so they look shorter and adds variety
What kind of bridge would you place here? Nooks is going inside the fenced in area next to the light pole.
How do you manage to do that though
Put it somewhere where it won’t grow like, if there’s too many trees around it
Dang I gotta stunt me some
Needing help with my residential area
I should put some of those on my forest
Want some advice?
@woven drift Id use a stone bridge! Or maybe the blue iron one
@blissful schooner I think I'll use the iron, just because I like the flat look..but idkkk 🙈
You can test it
Then if you don’t like it you can give the stuff back to nook and try another bridge
@woven drift thats so cute!!!
I’m so proud of this
@woven drift do you happen to know what design code the path is?? it looks super pretty and i’ve been meaning to find one like that😊
I don’t have the code but the people in code requests might
ahh okay, thank you anyways!
No problem
Me wanting 6 different versions of the path:
Each the path requiring 9 whole slots:
Literally
I have one path taking up 9 slots and I want another that takes up 9😣but I can’t
I found one of them that’ll fit most of my island but I wish I could get more
Wait can you connect a bridge from a cliff to another cliff? Idk if that’s possible to someone asking for recommendation above?
No you can’t :/
Aww and o hey another FF fan? Nice profile picture @blissful schooner ;p
Thank you I love my baby Mog 🥰
How do you stunt trees
@woven drift
What us stunting trees
@solemn plover
Planting a fruit tree within the 8 spaces around a tree to stop it from growing fully
Anybody else use barrels a lot
Going to after I saw someone made a horse stable here in this channel :3 just haven’t figured out where to start building it on my island
O found it #island-designs message
Was Ichanchan2’s
Faquaad on my island 🙂 Any suggestions for my shrek themed island?
A swamp
@tardy pebble it’s not mine. It’s an island I visited to take photos of their island for them.
The island and that stable belongs to Red Beard#4618
O sorry my bad misread, @twilit lintel
@tardy pebble haha it’s no problem! Their island is amazing if you get a chance to see it
Gerudo Desert 🏜
happy with how this little area turned out :’)
right next to it is a rock garden in front of the museum
Is it a good idea to colour coordinate villagers with a mixed woodland creature theme?
So I worked on my museum and took y’alls advice with two staircases (they’re hidden behind the panels) here’s a progress update
Don’t have any decorations yet but I’m super proud of my museum area so far
I need to collect fossils to display T_T
@blissful schooner itll look really nice with the little fossils like ammonite
Oh that’s a good idea!
@vernal crow color coordinate how?
I also have a few trilobites I can use
Finally getting the rivers to flow smoothly!
I probably need to start getting models made from flick
I love organic wirey designs like your island
Thanks hun! So do I. They were so blocky before I changed them like 7 times at least
The cottage core theme seems to work well with that
My theme is basically magic - so I’m doing semi gothic/rustic but it also has some space/trippy stuff and also some cottagecore trinkled in because I like it and it fits
I think trying to get a base word or two to describe it can help - and also don’t restrict your theme too much. Don’t make it so you can’t add any variation to your theme because it’s fun to have different areas look different
@woven drift I have a tropical resort theme with different themed areas for my villagers
My overall theme is tropical resort but I have different themed areas that you could possibly find on a resort
Usually people go for things you can’t see irl easily, which is why resorts or woody areas are really popular and cute themes
You can also go for an urban town look and get one of those road custom paths if you want less clutter and easier terraforming
I wish I could have multiple islands on one device
@woven drift I’m not good at terraforming as well. But my decorating skills I would say are pretty good. If you want to come to my island to take a look, just lmk.
I’m definitely way better at decorating than terraforming
anyone have pictures of an island with colorful flowers around it? i need some inspo because i want a lot of flowers on mine.
I’m also better at designing clothes and signs than roads
Imagine having actual gardens and not just a giant pile of random flowers you can’t find space for
So I I haven’t really stopped and looked at my map for a while,I’m actually very proud of it. What is y’all’s thoughts on it’s layout?
I really like the layout - I’m not usually for houses that aren’t together but it works really well for you
it looks rlly good since it’s spread out it makes ur island look organized
fun island
is the skull in the bottom right intentional?
Skull? No it’s waterfalls and they are funky to work with.
I'm SO CLOSE 😎 rock garden almost complete
that rocks
Sorry for being annoying! But I think I’m done with my museum now (thank god)
Woah it looks great!
Amazing 😍
Thanks guys :’) it was super finicky, but I got a lot of good advice here ♥️
Update rock garden complete UDGSUDBDIDHD tomorrow ill add bushes in the rows behind rocks 
I need helpp on fencing in front yards, advice anyone?
Here is the absurdly large pirate ship i built on my island ahaha
@charred geyser I think you should give some more space for flowers and furniture in their yard!
Museum
I need helpp on fencing in front yards, advice anyone?
@charred geyser
Fence the front and right side only! And make a bigger yard for decorating. Also, I love using hedges behind simple fencing!
@charred geyser this night help!
can someone tell me how to make stuff symetrical
can someone tell me how to make stuff symetrical
@sacred geode
Place down paths on the ground to help you count spaces! And do a lot of back and forth
What do y’all think of my map?
I only have a bit of space so thisll do
@sacred geode
Place down paths on the ground to help you count spaces! And do a lot of back and forth
@indigo flint o ok thx
What do y’all think of my map?
@ruby forum WOAH that is rlly good
Ty!
Fencing is so hard to do ugh
So, I'm going for a feudal japan theme on my island. What should I put in front of my small flower farm that would be something that you would see naturally. If needed I can provide pics of my map.
@median vessel i mean it aint natural but outdoor baths
Or just bamboo...
@charred geyser okay!! Thank you!!! I'll see what I can do.
@latent flame that looks fantastic!!!
@wet ore ty!!
@latent flame is your island all pirate theme or only that section?
Anyone have map inspo I'm having a hard time in terraforming
@obtuse plover
@obtuse plover my map
@obtuse plover here’s mine
If anyone’s having trouble decorating a small space:
@obtuse plover
Thanks a lot for the map ideas 😊
lmao u can kinda see my fat head
i found myself in a bit of a situation. i want to surround my town hall/plaza in peach and hardwood trees, but it doesn’t seem to be even no matter what i do? i’ve tried leaving both 1 and 2 spaces in between and nothing’s working🤦🏼♂️
picture for attention
is it okay to have a boring looking map? i don’t use the terraforming paths, and it makes my island look very baron from my map

@sinful kraken it’s perfectly okay! everyone plays the game differently 🙂

@sinful kraken yeah it doesn't matter as much as how your island actually looks in-game
My map has big ugly blobs of path lmao
thanks haha
@drowsy wharf well if you maybe make a design with them?
@charred geyser oooh I’ll try that later!
@wet ore eeee sorry for the late reply, my whole island is pirate themed!
I am moving so many home ahhhh
I moved all the buildings on my island in one day while ignoring the home loan I haven’t started paying 😌
Oof
I finished the front yards of Zucker and Raymond. Chevre's next although hers will be a bit different from the two, lol.
@distant moat Welp compared to yours my yards are trashy lol
@distant moat Welp compared to yours my yards are trashy lol
@charred geyser do you mind if i see what your yards look like?
@distant moat. I only did the fencing but sure
@distant moat oooo I think you should put bookcases on the left and some potted plants!
@distant moat oooo I think you should put bookcases on the left and some potted plants!
@drowsy wharf that sounds like a good idea! But is it on Raymond's yard or Zucker's?
@charred geyser those dont look bad! Maybe use different fencing for some villagers? Just a suggestion ^^
@distant moat oops forgot to say Raymond and maybe ditch a coffee cup and put a book!
I want it to look more...... Together? I guess so I used the same fences since I want to resemble a nice community sorta feel
@distant moat oops forgot to say Raymond and maybe ditch a coffee cup and put a book!
@drowsy wharf Ooh.. alright. That sounds great! Let me just see if i have the recipe for the bookshelf, lmao 😅
@charred geyser mix up the fencing a little bit! You can use hedges on the front and use another fence for the rest :)
Hii can you guys suggest what I can do for the ???? Corner
@frozen plume a trail!
@frozen plume a park/ walk through trail?
I don't have the recipe for the bookshelf, oof. Time to ask my friends if they can craft me one or even have the recipe, lol.
if not i can just buy it from nookazon
I want to put a bush here but it won't let me? Can I not put one there or do I just need to change my angle on it?
Welp I only have 1 fence recipe so I can't do much
@distant moat sorry it’s just an idea :/
It's fine! No need to be sorry! I love the idea!
@charred geyser can you download custom designs from other creators?
Does anyone have a good idea for an outdoor library? Also Does anyone's nooklings sell books today?
@drowsy wharf I never really thought of that before... I am not totally sure how that all works so I think I might keep it as it is. I think it looks very nice and even though its small I think its fine
@raw stirrup i would suggest using cushions and tea tables while putting some sort of blanket under it
@charred geyser maybe this creator code would be interesting to you. I think you could use the wooden planks as a path to the villagers doors!
I put Diana's house on the beach because i thought it'll look nice, but now i'm not sure what to build for the front yard, lol.
Give her a little spa!
@drowsy wharf I am def gonna try wooden planks I am laying everything out before I decorate
Awesome
Hope it’s good food!
I am back I got a nosebleed
Ah what happened?
Nothing happened it just started bleeding lol
Nothing unusual though I had plenty before
Samee
I want to put a bush here but it won't let me? Can I not put one there or do I just need to change my angle on it?
@hidden vessel you might have to connect another piece of land to it, plant a shrub, then form your water again...
I had a similar issue
Anyone know what the statue (not the lion-dog) is called?
Moai I think
Moai is correct
I hate my past self for placing houses right next to eachother
Yay I got it right!
Thank you! :))
No problem:)
Ahhhh I forgot to take a picture of my gardening area :,
My garden
Here is one for flowers (NOT mine), but I think you won't really breed well in the environment
I got rid of mine a long time ago, it was big with 4 9x9 plots and it was so messy & didn't look good
I apologize for all my furniture questions, but what is placed on the left on the bucket?
handcart
I am just gonna move this one house and finish the rest tomorrow since its like 3am
that's technically the best time to do island work because no villagers to distract you 
@limber ginkgo well the time on my island is 12 hours ahead cuz those damn scorpions
Ok gnite yall
Ankha was the last moveout for today
What flowers go good with lillies?
Hi! Long shot but i’m not sure where else to look but where do i find services that help with my island layout? Just a little bit lost with mine rn 😊😊
Heya! I'm back from lunch ^^
@patent hatch I'd say tulips or mums! 😄
Im planning to put some white (and maybe red) flowers outside of Chevre's house. Which flower(s) though? I already used some white Hyacinths nearby for the entrance, so i'll probably avoid using them
@grim cosmos ty!

@distant moat Some white cosmos are my favorites. But looking at Chevre's house, correct me if im wrong but it has a bit of cream, and because of that I'd also maybe try white mums or tulips.

@cerulean harness alright! Thank you so much!
moon cafe/birthday area
So I'm reatarting my island tomorrow(friday) in hopes of getting a better town hall location. I'm wondering what anyone's input is on the different river mouth locations.
I dont have them but i've seen a lot of people regret choosing double south rivers so maybe take that into consideration
Double south rivers?
Double south river mouths are a pain, I blocked one of mine off completely.
Both river mouths at the bottom of the map @jolly raft
Ohhhh yea I have a map like that.
Tis not a fun layout
I recreated where shrek is rescuing fiona. Any suggestions for my shrek theme island?
Double South Mouths can be tricky
@smoky cove personally I also would recommend not picking a town hall that is really far. I have one that’s far and it’s a gift and a curse. And I agree, double south river mouths can be hard to work with, but it’s not that bad ! (I have those as well lol)
My shrek themed island 😂
It’s not the mouths themselves, but the skinny portions of land near the edges. But as @vernal oxide said, they’re still workable. 🙂
I love Shrek Island so much
@vernal oxide I'm thinking I might go for a town hall in the middle. Going to look at map options when I'm home. I had a South and west river before. I like it. But I've seen the double south rivers utilized nicely too.
any ideas for a custom design path for a japanese shopping district? it’s gonna be somewhat similar to this image
@smoky cove that RS placement sounds perfect. And yeah, once you can figure out a way to implement them it’s much easier. Personally I blocked off one of my river mouths lol
@ionic crag this is amazing
i demolished half my island recently, and instead of getting on with the terraforming this small area took hours. but I don’t hate it???
@vernal oxide also townhall before was 8 spaces away from the airport
@smoky cove it’s close, but I’ve also seen people make gorgeous entrances with close town halls tbh. I kinda wish I had a closer one to use cliffs and trees to hide the distance
I find that angled bridges are perfect for small entrances (if they can fit a bridge)
so I just destroyed my entire island like 2 days ago, and this is what I've done so far, any ideas on where to put buildings? or any design ideas I could do lmao
@woven drift is the aim to be symmetrical or does that not matter?
yea i prefer it to be symmetrical
@ionic crag legit the most creative idea I’ve seen 🤩
Anyone know of any nice pink exercise-related items? I have a pink kettlebell, exercise ball and mountain bike. I'm doing some light remodeling on Audie's yard
Trying to make a minimalistic and not overdecorated island.
Thoughts?
@woven drift i was thinking...i don’t know how to explain it haha...take the design you have at the entrance and move it more towards the center ? and have the rivers meet there? so it’s like a central Island to different sections of the Whole Island. I dunno what i’m talking abt. it’s very early 😂
WHY DO THE LEAVES CLIP THROUGH THE BOOKCASE I-
I have this unholy tree/net fusion
IM GENUIELY FRUSTRATED
Does anyone have a Halloween themed island?
Now idk another spot to put the bookcase-
could u move the bookcase forward?
I could but it'll look weird
Oh well i guess i could just chop the tree lmao
@distant moat You could grow a new tree and plant a fruit next to it when you want it to stop growing (the frontmost tree is locked at that growth stage)
It might not clip through the bookcase but no guarantees 😅
Ooh.. you can do that? That's interesting. For now im going to replace where that tree was with a wall haha-
The view tonight
Ooh.. you can do that? That's interesting. For now im going to replace where that tree was with a wall haha-
@distant moat Yup! I utilized it in the bamboo image from earlier too, the shoots closest to the camera are locked one stage before they're fully grown
Though it is hard to hide the fruit tree stem sometimes
Ooh.. i see..
Iirc trees cant grow if they're one space apart right? Like, they'll be locked at a certain growth stage because the other tree is preventing them from growing?
Since the other cedar tree is only one space away, i probably dont have to plant another fruit tree to prevent the cedar from growing
Sorry if the wording makes no sense-
Or does it have to be a stem in order to prevent the tree from growing?
I know stage 1 fruit trees block growth no matter what, I haven't really done any testing with other setups
This was incredibly helpful when I asked in #game-help-questions❓ about stunting trees the other day
Ah.. alright ^^
.t plants
So that's the command, I thought it was .t tree lmao
haha
Lmao
There's a space between the bookshelf and Raymond's sign. Should i add anything there or should i just leave it empty?
Also i want to spread out the villagers' houses. I already know where to place 4. Now for the other 6...
this is how close my entrance is to the resident services, does anyone have any tips on what i could do? 🥺 i’m going for a very dreamy and cute island
The large cedar tree leaves only clip by a tiny bit. Its hard to notice lmao, thats how tiny it is.
@drifting light here's what i did with mine..
this is how close my entrance is to the resident services, does anyone have any tips on what i could do? 🥺 i’m going for a very dreamy and cute island
@drifting light This is what I did, 9 spaces from RS
Friends inspire cafe.... I'm not to sure on the panels near the jukebox. What do you think? Does anyone have any decent wall/window patterns, or should I lose them altogether? Maybe put books shelves, but then they don't really work with the music theme :/ suggestions welcome :)
i made a redd bazaar❤️
I had no idea what flowers to use in my campsite so I put clusters of same-color flowers together!
@frail robin I think everything looks good! But maybe changing the panels to a different design might help~ I would ask in #custom-design-help🎨 there's probably dozens of window/wall panel codes people in there could recommend
@abstract kelp thank you, I'll go take a look :)
Anyone have a Japanese themed/Studio ghibi island I could get inspiration from? Just unlocked terraforming and there’s so much to do 
@arctic lance #dream-addresses🌜 is a really good channel to check if you haven't already!
I want to change my island. Does anyone have any tips ?
@abstract kelp ooo okey ty!
@west parrot Thats so cool!
So much empty space in the cafe 😦 thoughts on how to fill it?
@rustic pollen maybe add more places so that the people sitting there could talk to each other and not sit just alone 💓 And decorative plants maybe
Ooo good idea! I was thinking of that too thank u!!!! 💝
No problem!💕
My island Entrance
Hi, I’m trying to find someone to redesign my island layout. I would send my current map (over private chat) and give 1 million bells! Please message me if you are willing to do so 🙂
beach art gallery 🍃
I got this idea for rock garden but not sure if this will work out :( (red X's are flowers, gray - rocks)
nook‘s cranny. 🌞
I'm planning on just completely leveling my island and starting from the ground up, what are your thoughts?
Yay or nay?
@maiden hedge theres 6 rocks total and you have 5 spots
Oh ty for noticing-
I finished a nice looking garden island with the first picture being the inspiration for it
airport landing area
for fireworks in sunday
My island's entrance! 😄
@stray root thats incredible!
Damnit I don't know how to upload multiple images at once
it only works on mobile i think @modern forge
Ah
How can I decorate this?
My island before i flattened it, now i'm making a fairycore one
does anyone know whats the furniture behind the simple panel
does anyone know whats the furniture behind the simple panel
@neon glen garden wagon, clothesline (both diys)
@neon glen tiff looks like brown antique wardrobe to me, tho i might be wrong
Help! I cant decide if the path area I made is good enough to keep
Im going for a sort of jungly feeling and the path isn't exactly that
i was talking about the desks but ty !
its more of a cute sandy theme
@woven drift looks soo good
Hey everyone! I wanted to make a small pond next to Chevre's house. Im planning to add some trees and shrubs, but i was wondering what else i could add.
And also, should i move the bench back a little?
if you haven't decided on lighting yet I think white garden lanterns would look really good
@woven drift looks soo good
@faint path tysm!! ♥️
@distant moat (love your pic btw) maybe you could make the bench white and add a decoy duck or something white? like a coffe cup or a book (?
maybe instead of the wooden bench, you could use the rock stools and the rock table to match Chevre's house
Hey guys
i’m thinking of building a playground !! i’m looking for inspirations ~~ maybe if anyone wanted to share their playgrounds it’d be great heheheh
@feral sundial if you're planning on building a playground i suggest using the sand path and the blue iron fence.
some playground equipment would also be good to use. i don't know the names but you can search them on nookazon
@pine trellis yeah!!! omg i think the blue iron fence would look great !? tysm!
i have all the playground equipments ~~
What playground equipment is there?
Hey! Any ideas to spruce up this area? 
all the ones in the nook station machine!
Ohhh ok thanks
@distant moat (love your pic btw) maybe you could make the bench white and add a decoy duck or something white? like a coffe cup or a book (?
@oak gazelle that could work! ty!
@dusky tapir a tiny library!!
@dusky tapir i'd replace the bridge with a stone bridge 🙂 it'll match your path, custom path, and fences better
a tiny part of my harry potter inspired island
@dusky tapir oooh that's a nice area. depends on what type of island you're going for and if you want to keep the basic structure of the area or just redesign it altogether. if you have space, terraforming could be used here. if you're just looking for something simple, i suggest just adding slightly more furniture to decorate the area. or maybe even changing up the flowers? it really depends on how happy you feel about the design all together.
Thanks y’all!! 
What type of fruit tree should i use? Or should i just use a non-fruit tree? (Talking about the pic i sent above)
hello! could anyone tell me when i unlock the terraforming ( i think that’s what it’s called )
hello! could anyone tell me when i unlock the terraforming ( i think that’s what it’s called )
@mental dawn when you get 3-star island rating, terraforming is basically the endgame
thank you so much!
@distant moat maybe a peach tree because it haves a light color, but i´ll go for a non-fruit tree
Also i changed my Nook's area. The old one is the first pic. I prefer the newer the one tbh
that looks so cool
@distant moat maybe a peach tree because it haves a light color, but i´ll go for a non-fruit tree
@oak gazelle ooh... what if i use a mix of both? Some trees are peach trees while some are non-fruit trees?
that looks so cool
@mental dawn ty!
also yes the drop-off box is still accessible haha
tom nook gave me a bridge when i was placing the 3 plots for villagers 3,4 and 5. how do i get another bridge?
Correct me if im wrong but i think you can build bridges once you upgrade RS to the town hall building instead of a tent.
thank you so much!!
Lf opinions
Any ideas on how to fill in the remaining green (besides flowers) qwq?
The bus stop by my graveyard is starting to really look nice, so i thought id share
tha looks so pretyyyu
some minor changes to my island, currently in the process of redoing the whole island layout and theme. it def needs more decoration but i'm happy with it so far
@cinder stag the brown phone booth from nook shopping would look great there 🙂 i use those same seats on mine and they match really well
^i keep trying to put a phone booth there and i havent been able to place it how id like :') will keep trying tho!
does anyone have a good east river outlet layout?
Does anyone have any good fishing spot ideas? I'm stuck. Lol But not on the pier, im using that piece of land that stretches onto the ocean
@tall trellis i have a fishing spot on my peninsula but it's not very "fishing"-y, it's mostly just a fishing spot because it has a rod lol. it's a part of dobie's home area so it's more catered to him than fishing.
@scenic blaze I like the that wood pattern!! I'm going for that kinda feel too. Its next to my campgrounds, so I want to be more natural looking
@mystic tundra the rivers and roads are quite straight. If youre going for a more modern urban look, it looks okay, but if you want something a bit natural, maybe change it up a bit.
@tall trellis ty! maybe this'll help, i ran out of space so i didn't use the cooler but this item is very fishing-spot-y and the colors would look good in a natural area
@scenic blaze I think i have that cooler, I definitely have it in yellow. I'll have to check later
@scenic blaze can we please see your bug cage area? Is that an incense also? It looks very zen :)
It's a very underrated item that I see nobody use, the bug hotel thingy
Any ideas on how I can spice this area up? It feels empty yet cluttered imo
does anyone have a good island with an east side river outlet
@grizzled loom maybe a fax machine as a register? Sugar and cream somewhere? It doesnt look cluttered but it looks like yoh could make more efficient use of the space
Maybe a swinging bench somewhere? A bird bath?
Ty!!
Does anyone have a nature-y campsite area? The ones I can find in the search thing don't really seem to be what I'm looking for
@woven drift i loooove the bug cages. this area isn't particularly interesting on its own, it's more for the villager i was designing around than trying to do a zen theme, but i was trying to play with varied heights of objects that still provided an ocean view and matched the color theme of the area
I have a mini zen area too (also not interesting technically but I also thought the bug cage suited there) and I was so happy to see someone have the same taste in that regard haha xD
@violet forge
Hi! I'm looking for any island entrance ideas pls I don't know what to do😭
@violet forge something like this?
@nova geyser
@woven drift so cool ty😁
oh i didn't even send the picture lol i had it up, i'm just dumb
Haha no mothra I understood and I wouldnt gotchu you haha. This area is anything but uninteresting though. It may be one of my faves of yours. Especially with ybe termite hill. You must have had a blast with bug atching @scenic blaze
@twilit lintel that's pretty cool! Thanks, I might use that as inspiration!
zen stuff is just a baby seal magnet lol
my entrance
@molten swallow cool
My orchard is grouped like this for each fruit. Instead of rows.
Wouldnt force you* not gotchu. Omg my typos @scenic blaze
CLUTTERCORE is baby seal magnet!!! The idea is to turn even the most zen areas into clutter!
Yes that is a rare usage of the waterme- I mean beach ball. You see them on farms normally but gasp. I decided my villagers would want to eat one, not grow them!
@woven drift Clutter is the new IN (for for interruption lol) XD
Tried taking a pic of my simple museum entrance and Rocket is being a creep 👀 can you spot her? 😂😂
Lmao
CREEEPITY CREEP
i have been so many days active in this channel and today i finally decided to make a proper photoshoot of my island, ill show what comes out uwu
@amber moon She's stalking you by the look of it 👀
I’ve been trying to get her photo FOREVER and she’s always creeping around. I want her pic so I can kick her out next time I get a camper lol
Oh yeah! It’s Boot’s bday! 
AW! Happy birthday Boots! 🥳
owwww
I've had a few now but it never gets old
get him a cute gift
Awww so cute! I love the alligators
GUYS SHE’S BACK 
Omg that side eye tho 🤣
She’s so creepy
Any recommendations on how to decorate this area?
Omg is that Rocket’s house?
@tawny ginkgo Maybe add furniture that matches the two villagers personalities/colour schemes?
I have this big empty space that I don’t know what to do with, I already have areas with a fountain, garden, vending machines, crafting area, etc. Any suggestions?
Is yours creepy too? 😂
@woven drift A fountain in the middle would look nice and help fill out the space 🙂
Could be a flea market
@woven drift you can make a greenhouse or a plant shop? you already have the garden wagon there 🙂
https://twitter.com/pasgetti_toko/status/1291743436991651840 i did some stuff on my beach!! im gonna add more orange flowers once i get some breeding. opinions n thoughts?
@zealous mortar it looks very inviting and tropical
maybe a custom pattern pathway through the empty part would help fill space a bit without making it too crowded!
@woven drift pic doesnt look good but oh well will retakenit
Flower mart!!@ cluttercore
@woven drift rocket was spying on you 
WHAT A CREEP
I knew it
KABUKI CAME HOME THO. Let's celebrate that
Hiya! Does anyone have map/island pics where the villagers aren’t in a proper organised neighbourhood? Like it winds round, has different levels? 🌼
Lmao xD gosh I'm waiting for zucker one day even if I can afford to buy him 40 times I must repent for my indecision
Yeeeeeee, I found him right when I was about to give up and my battery was going to die lolol
The 3 houses at the bottom are kinda what I’m after. Just struggling with the terraforming 🙈💕
Ahh!
Did you want to see them up close? They're not themed, because I change villagers like I change clothes
Lmao! Yes please if you have pics that would be amazing!
I'll go shoot some!
Tysm 💖
Some villagers* kidding, u nless?
@kind scroll i have my villagers scattered around the island 🙂
@woven drift Dood, that looks SO nice tho 😄
Mothra is your map meant to depict a beautiful tree? Never looked at it closely until just now. Looks like nice branches :O
My try making a Lavender field 🌱
Oh that’s cool, do they have their own areas?
@woven drift it's unintentional but you're not the first person to say that haha
@bleak wind nyan nyan nyan
@kind scroll I have my villager's scattered in two seperate sections, as you can see here 🙂
@kind scroll they do! i'm still tinkering with some of them, but they are all themed to the area of the island they're located in.
Ah that’s cool too! Again, I like the 3 near the top with the curve 🙈
Okay I'm not really proud of these areas but here we go @kind scroll
@woven drift Nyan cat is life
Thats a really fun and colorful neighborhood
My island is so random I realized:P I'm wanting to renovate it all to make it match better with recent areas
Mushroom stuff 
I wish the parasol was 1.5 instead of 2x2, thats the one item I wouldn't mind being 1.5
@amber moon you were saying?
Your island is so random and I love it 😊
I can’t wait until mushrooms 🍄 appear in my game!
the spa area thing came out really nice
;___; cluttercore g-go brrr but I wish I had something cohesive sometimes. I see all these cottage cores which I'd love to try but I cant commit
Thank you @eager burrow do you like this area too?
@kind scroll here's my map if it helps! villagers are in the same neighborhood but arent always perfectly aligned, and two houses are on a lower level.
I had to kill a stone and now it spawned one tile lower and the world must end, it means
yeah baby I visited your island, it was super fun, I like the idea of cluttering areas to make it like an observation point, I liked the throne area the most I think
Ohhh!! Well I'm recording tonight once the temperature cools down a bit. I'll make sure to highlight that area then!!
Thank you all so much! 💖💖💖
Hiya! Does anyone have map/island pics where the villagers aren’t in a proper organised neighbourhood? Like it winds round, has different levels? 🌼
@kind scroll here’s mine 😊
@woven drift sorry for sharing this one again but it my most recent one and I'm so proud of it!@
@woven drift
@woven drift if you do a lot of trading online itll be cute to set up a lil trading or market area
Uuuvuuu what's that, a compliment? Thanks owo @woven drift lmao I love uvu
@woven drift here’s my entrance!
I’m new to the game so I don’t even have the terraforming skill yet -.-
@woven drift UVU everyone can terraform the question is do you have 4 hours to spend on this little shiz
@storm bluff that looks very nice! you are a true artist, i love the accents of white and orange and they’re placed perfectly and it looks spontaneous and natural
AHHH I GOT STUCK ON MY ISLAND A 2ND TIME TODAY. I've played 1k+ hours and this hasnt happened before. Gahhhh@!@@
@cobalt ice
can anybody with a higher rating come visit my island? i cant get back to three stars after i got bumped back to two and idk how to fix it
@scenic blaze definitely not yoinking your beautiful Dobie area for inspiration when I get him myself 
House exterior ~ (Old pic tbw)
@night fjord he's soooo much fun to decorate for bc i just want to spoil him but i also want him to live the hermit life he deserves
also, I know the conversation was a while back but this is what I did with my peninsula
Hiya! Does anyone have map/island pics where the villagers aren’t in a proper organised neighbourhood? Like it winds round, has different levels? 🌼
@kind scroll here’s mine if you still need it
very jealous of your setup for him for sure. Mine wouldn't be the same though, I already have a writer theme for Bea and Carmen likes bugs so I might make her an art/bug themed area
Looking for some city themed island inspo!
how do you guys plan your island :/ i'm sooooo stuck and I feel like I plan to much and it's too symetric and when I build it it's not what I want D:
Try working without a plan for a bit, go free-form, just start building stuff and see what you end up creating.
i also think is important to have in mind that usually areas dont look fantastic at first, it takes some time to gather everything and sometimes you have to re-do them or move them plenty of times until they look great
@prime harbor i feel the same thing. Anyway i try, i cant seem to get what i want. 😦
Omg dilemma I have an empty beach despite THIS clusterheck of an island time to set it on fire and make it a fire festival looking area maybe??
I mean so much goes well on the beach. I have a whole market area on one section, a gym on another, resort area on another, and beach bar thing. I've only used like half the space on my beaches
or do a private beach area :D
I've built plenty on mine
But I'm S H O C K and not a true cluttercore believer clearly since I have space still
oh yeah, forgot you have your oriental place on the beach
I struggle with beaches. I've decorated about 60% on mine.
I did have 3 villagers living on my beaches too, but now it's down to one and then Shep on the peninsula
Oh my fiance lives on my beach too!!! Next to pirate viking mushroom boogaloo
Fire festival would fit the other stuff on your island though from what I remember
That means I even have a house on my beach and even THEN i got space;-;
I made 3 secret areas but they are so secret no one finds them even with markers for the entrances 😅
Beau’s house, LMK what you think 
he likes his bugs!!!
I made 3 secret areas but they are so secret no one finds them even with markers for the entrances 😅
@eager burrow you have to show now LOL
Yesss haha, I saw someone else here make a bug study area for their villager and I thought it was the cutest thing
I have 1 very important secret area on a rock at the back of my island where all my gnomes hang out
they arent that tough but people struggle for some reason, I made my dream have coins that lead straight in and people still have trouble
@woven drift it might be easier to terraform something similar to my entrance since there is no water and waterfalls! haha im not the best at terraforming either but if you try different things you'll get something you like eventually~
Anyone have cottagecore map inspo I'm having a hard time on deciding how to terraform my island
hi, does anyone have any good tips for an ac island? mines so empty and disgusting, im so bad at decorating
@wary pewter I was the same way. I just started playing a bunch of flowers from mystery islands and displaying bugs. It sorta just comes together. I’ve been playing for two months now and my progress is so slow
@woven drift Im always looking for some friends! so if youd like to help one another sometime that could be good! 🙂
So regarding my fire festival, what fire-like items should I consider besides burning leaf piles, bonfire, campfire thingy, maybe even tiki torches, paper lanterns?
for people who are struggling to decorate/terraform, just start small
i think oftentimes your idea will grow as you're building/decorating
I like to lay down all the items I think will fit an area and slowly remove and relocate them. Decluttering my clutter! Helps if you're a visual person xD
thank you!
And often I end up keeping all the items I throw down because that's my cluttercore styleeer
😮
I go diving and find out that kelp or sea weed is a great decoration for some beachy areas that are meant to be jolly or ship wrecked xD
It's so brain storm that way
as an example, i had revamped my DIY road to be more adventurey, and once i had finished that, i realized maybe i could do something with my beach that's in the same area so it doesn't break the theme
i sometimes wish i could start over, but i dont want to do the whole process all over again
workin on ables area
so i basically built off what i had just built
The jailbars are an excellent choice @floral nimbus
Hey guys i need inspiration for my museum entrance . Hoping you guys can share some ideas 🥰🙏
thanks @woven drift . i was also really proud that i made that beach area look piratey w/o using pirate items (minus one pirate barrel) 😂 saved me my arms and legs
You could check out mine via dream addresses as it is too big to share. To the left of my museum (lower pic is literally on the same platform as my museum) @hot atlas
To the right of my museum ihave a small zen area. A tiny version of my large one
surprisingly I don't have a picture of my museum or else I would post it in chat
i sometimes wish i could start over, but i dont want to do the whole process all over again
@wary pewter what specifically are you talking about that you want to start over?
@floral nimbus where i started i scattered trees, flowers etc so made it messy and moved all the houses. it is a lot of wrok to change it all again if that makes sense?
I just gave away about 300+ hybrids in total to have space to start building things if i recall correctly. Sometimes being generous gets you lots of help moving things haha
@wary pewter from what i'm understanding you probably have a lot of trees and flowers in the way? if you move a house on terrain it'll automatically get rid of the trees/flowers surrounding it, so if you need to move your houses anyway (on the same level) that could be something to keep in mind. yes, it's going to be a lot of work, but hopefully by now you have a better idea of what you want your layout to look like?
i used to have a floor level spooky forest with TONS of red pansies and black tulips... which i moved all to the beach (which made the beach look super creepy) temporarily... just to later realize i don't need all those flowers 😂 . it took a lot of work moving/digging those flowers up like 3 times, but imo it was satisfying because i did the work. if you feel like you need help with gardening though, you can always hire someone in #flower-plants-trade -- a lot of people offer deweeding/tree removal/flower removal/rearranging for pretty cheap (bells) etc!
thank you tons! ❤️
I agree with @floral nimbus . Did the same with all the black flowers on a cemetary which I then turned into a fairy fountain forest. Relocating things is maybe daunting but so rewarding eventually
also, depends on if you time travel 😂 for me i don't time travel so moving houses and redoing my bridges/inclines took what felt like forever
ive never time travelled, but to help myself i may.
Useless fish you're anything but useless! You have got the patience of a monk and I respect that a lot
I did time travel and that's because I got too many things I wanna do and cant wait I'm super impatient
im living in real life there is no time travel in real life @woven drift 😂
After 1.1k hours now I think, I'm still impatient. Ahaha I enjoy myself some escapism
same, i had to wait like 2-3 days to move dom's house a square forward because i messed up initially
What reality allows for these rooms! This game is too pretty to call reality
@static dirge that's so cute 😭
wowie
Eh sorry guys this is pre baby seal learning how to control the camera so its shoddy :P but yeah if I needed to wait real time for my items to arrive. Yeah no
That's how many items??? Hundreds due to trial and error?
do you catalogue? or earn all that furniture through paying, ordering or finding?
I earned them though playing and I occasionally ask my friends who I've donated a lot to. I never sell items but I do buy some
@storm bluff I just visited your dream, it was super lovely! But I have one question, did you do something quirky with your valient statue by town hall? 🤔
I just buy whatever looks interesting from stores
I have a lot in my storage at any time so any newcomer here is welcome to occasionally dm me when help is needed!
Also got all seasonal diys
would love to catalogue some of your items one time xo
I don't do catalogue stuff but I have no issues giving them away simply :P
Just dm me whenever !
oh wow, youre amazing! What kind of payment do you accept- nook miles, bells etc ?
Nothing its tto help people have an easier time designing their island!
oh wowo! youre one of the very few sweet people i meet!
@eager burrow thank you for visiting!! but what do you mean by quirky?
Sorry for going off topic here, I know it's not right to discuss this here so my DMs are open! Haha :)
I just cant resist helping
sorry for off-topic! x
Nooo just dont want us to get in trouble <3 @wary pewter
@storm bluff the position of your valient statue centered with town hall, on saturdays if you stand infront of the headless statue and go in camera mode and raise the camera all the way up K.K. slider's head will appear to be on the valient statue
@eager burrow oh hhaha i didnt even plan that
Its pretty
a part of the island i'm proud of
Any1 got ideas for a nice beach bar??
@woven drift Alice tiki bar and restaurant
Finished my diving/swimming shops in front of my main beach. Thoughts?
@twilit lintel wow nice where can i get the design in the top right corner of your picture
@dire wren that's a really unique take on a diving/swimming shop! i've never seen anyone display shoes like that but i'm loving it
@woven drift #misc-pattern-codes #path-codes might be able to help you
@dire wren I LOVE it. I love how it turned out
Im so mad this is all so much better than my island oof
@floral nimbus thank you. They were a last minute addition but I think it completes the look
@vernal oxide thank you! I tried the fax machine as a cash register but I felt like the two extra snorkels completed it more
it totally does! but now i'm kind of wondering if there's another way to mix up shoes & snorkels. i'm just thinking about retail stores and how they have different sections (you have 3 sections of shoes rn) @dire wren
@dire wren it’s a better fit!
@floral nimbus I tired to mix them buy colour but there are more shoes than snorkels and diving outfits than snorkels so I’d have to double up some which didn’t look very nice imo
@woven drift tbh this was a little haphazardly done/moved (i was just relocating the actual bar), but i find that using log furniture looks pretty good on the beach
@floral nimbus I tired to mix them buy colour but there are more shoes than snorkels and diving outfits than snorkels so I’d have to double up some which didn’t look very nice imo
@dire wren fair!
Not sure what to put in this area, any ideas?
i need HELP. i love the fountain in the game but have to idea where to put it! send me how you used it i need inspo 😫
@willow acorn I put this fountain at my entrance
@dire wren I'd put down a path and make it into park/ city centre with benches, maybe some more statues, vegetation and a playground
@ocean raft oh that’s a great idea! Especially with the fireworks displays happening this month. Thank you ☺️
this is my entrance so it wouldn’t work for me 😫
i’m needing help decorating this area by my entrance, i’m going for a cottagecore/natural look and i’m not sure if i like the shapes of the cliff or how i could change it, maybe connecting the two top parts? any ideas?
the circle shaped cliff doesn't look natural. Maybe sharpen some of the corners? And yeah, you can try connecting them.
i made this bazaar for redd art : D
As for items, any item from this area of mine may fit? Upper pic. For autumnal vibes?
i was wanting to put cedar trees somewhere on it too but it’s a limited area, i might bring it closer and connect them and yeah, i agree about the circular shape though. thanks for the advice!
No problem! it looks really nice btw
Oh sorry I misread you're going for cottage core. I do natural themes sometimes but defo not cottage core xD whops
Maybe the wedding fences for queues?
They dont look very wedding like but they could work for when people are queing in front of an attraction and look a bit fancier than the rope ones
And maybe some hedges?
Queuing?
Yikes that spelling is a bit OOF
I dont use anything other than wedding hedges zen imperial so I dont know too much about them xD
Are wooden ones that are white and neighborly a thing?
@toxic oar the iron fences would look cool! theyre a blue/teal color
Done the main part of the farm just need to finish the cliff decoration!
@static dirge do you intend to stay in autumn? If so, piles of red leaves would look lovely!!!
@static dirge do you intend to stay in autumn? If so, piles of red leaves would look lovely!!!
@woven drift I do! They would but too big haha
I'd put them half way on your paths/area connecting to paths. :O if you're not doing anhthing there. I like to throw leaves wherever I can if I need some coloyr
could anyone help me out by suggesting what i can do to fill in the empty area below the fountain and to the left?
@patent pollen sorry for bad pic (angles) but maybe a fairy fountain forest thing?
How come your fountain is so beautifully saturated though haha
Its throwing me a bit off and I may be off in my suggestion xD
i'm building a neighborhood of 3 houses. The distance between each of them is 2 blocks. What should i put in between the houses?
I don’t know what to do with this garden. There’s not enough room for every type of flower, and I don’t like the look of just the rare ones. Suggestions?
Maybe some ideas here? @primal lion
hmmmm yeah that should be fine. thank you!
smh, all this showing off with your moneybag trees 🙄 and your gold flowers
Of course the colours are really off snd all just wanted to share what simple shapes and such tou could use to distance the houses haham
Sausig I literally removed 4 money trees here. I have probably 4-5 on each side of my RS lmao
ALSO DID YOU MENTION GOLD FLOWERS? @night fjord flec flex flex
This entrance was twice as long and double boring but also double gold
I had such a lucky moment, accidentally buried 100k the other day and then got the 1 in 3 chance and got it back and more
Also gold flowers go brrrr here
. Flex flex
Sorry the heat is getting to me it's about 100 F/37 C
I feel SICK it's so hot if I die please somebody inherit my island and items
but anyway, got this new bit for Apollo and Mathila. On the left is Apollo's music store, on the right is Mathilda's goth spot
I might need some help with it, I'm not quite happy with how it has turned out
Ohh I'd remove the kimono and add maybe a bar table
hmmm, bar table?
And make a cafe or bar like area next to good music
I'll give an updated photo as well because that isn't the most recent version of it
I'd sooo chill out there and have a drink and listen to apollo rock it out
Well thing is I already have a band area
what flowers should i put in audie's yard?
Yeah instead of the fortune telling set I'd go for some drink theme next to the band area
@spice zealot I dont customize my gardens according to villagers but I think it fits. Shall I show you my audie house and surrounding area?
I could move this to where apollo's store is?
YES
@woven drift yes please
I'd put this perfectly cozy area to right area of that first pic you shared
I'm actually on board with that, I think it'd make some more space in the south of the island too
as it is, the band area doesn't fit with the south island because it's more of a beach/ nature vibe
Just a LITTLE random beach ispo ❣
@spice zealot sorry its messy and like most things on my island I domt have a safe theme haha.
@woven drift it's fine lol
I've given away Audie so often that I dont bother making her garden be "like" her
what flowers should i put in audie's yard?
@spice zealot I'd put lots of tropical colors to match her exterior ~ whites and oranges and yellows. I find that most flowers that I pair with hyacinths look beautiful, for example white hyacinths and orange cosmos :)
@spice zealot I think orange roses would be pretty
Worked on Chevre's lawn. Im thinking if i should keep the front fences or not. If i do i'll probably change the type of fence.
Oh and also should i change the clothesline with smth else?
@distant moat I think the clothesline is a cute touch :) imo, the clothesline DIY looks a little better than the game item so if you have that you can consider swapping ~ also, I'd add a bucket or washtub nearby!
Orange is like the opposite of blue right in some color theory thingy (omg I'm vague). Orange windflowers and maybe blue ones would really fit!
Windflowers somehow seem really tropical and less "elegant/uptight" unlike Roses. If I were to tailor a flower garden for her I'd do windflowers and hyacinths
@distant moat I think the clothesline is a cute touch :) imo, the clothesline DIY looks a little better than the game item so if you have that you can consider swapping ~ also, I'd add a bucket or washtub nearby!
@plain forge sounds great! Thanks!
https://twitter.com/Onalonelyscreen/status/1291789738500915201 @woven drift thought I'd post in here anyway to show ^^
@night fjord ooooovhhhhh how cosy and scholarly. Defo would suggest more (small) tables and chairs. Defo wouldnt put the traditional tea set on the floor
Definitely thinking of a slight revamp of Bea's area, and Carmen's can use more art/bug stuff too
To match the black den table I'd even add a chess set!
I would if I had a chess set, unfortunately I've somehow not come across one yet
I do! Lemme mail you, sausage friend
thankie ^^
Which set of 10 best for a natural woodland island?
Fauna pecan shep ike reneigh DOM DOM DOM DOM DOM @vernal crow
my plaza is very far away from my airport I've made an entrance but I don't know how to connect them 😔
@burnt pebble you dont have to! You could make your own center
@vernal crow I think the current villagers, but you need a deer! Erik's house fit well in my forest area
@vernal crow imo Olivia wouldn't fit because of her appearance as a classy Beverly hills type cat, but everyone else looks fine. Id go with the first set if you really wanna go for your aesthetic ~
You cant have sheep and not dom though sorry
Wait shep isnt a sheep technically lmao but you know what I mean. Fine you cant have a rooster without DOM!
In love with Shep and his house since I got him
Anyway if by woodland they mean cottage core/natural/rustic then somehow dom's house is so dutch (my country) indoors and so dutch/farmy outside too lol
What next to demolish. I happen to have great success destroying and rebuilding things! Before (top) and after (bottom)
I made a laundromat / crafting section
anyone have any cute shop set ups (with the able's and cranny's) or any small pretty fountain areas?.3.
@zenith dust I do let me take a pic in a second
@zenith dust happy bday and idk if cute but I got a flower shop
Fountain area
@woven drift thank u!! and thats so pretty :O
Next to nook I also have a fish market. Definitely not cute though ahhaha @@zenith dust
@charred geyser ohh the shell fountains look super nice:D
@woven drift i love it! i was thinking about creating a fish market too, i think it looks great!
hey guys so I need your help..i don't know what to put here
fyi behind the fence is my orchard and infront of me is a really small greenish/natural office..I really don't know what could possibly fit here and fits my theme which is like a natural island with a few cliffs, alot of trees and such (nothing to special tbh)
People dont like my half deceased sunfish but I love him hes my lover
I gotta move my cafe to make room for my houses ughh
@woven drift you can put like saplings down and flower bags,wagons,asilo, shovels, and hand carts to look like an area where you have your plant supplies
@woven drift i love the sunfish its my favorite fish in the game, im sad he kinda looks beached tho in this game ,3,
@zenith dust oh that's such a great idea
@woven drift I think your area is big enough for maybe either some water. Or defo some flowers, greenery like shrubs or hedges. Mushroom items?
@woven drift I already have a little mushroom farm and my whole island is pretty much covered in trees..wanted something different
tbh I thought about plain fields for an upcoming farming update maybe but I'm really not sure
I see. Farm it is then! A simple well could look cute in addition to what @zenith dust suggested
@woven drift a duck pond would be cute there!
Here’s my little plant area
@woven drift adding on to@woven drift 's idea u could make a little pond and put a well next to it
@woven drift maybe also some haystacks!!
@scenic blaze I already have one but tysm for ur ideas guys
oh duck pond would be so cute too!
@zenith dust has anyone given you bday gifts yet? Dm me your wishlist
I feel too unwell to make my yt vid tonight anyway god damn 37 Celsius degrees may the good karma make me sleep better tonight ;____;
@woven drift ah i actually dont have a wishlist, nookazon is so confusing to me,im just really on the hunt for some statues but thank u <33
I think I'm settling for a little garden/plant shop with maybe a small pond of some sorts ty all so much for the help
Nooroo I gotchu friend. DM
I really like this area with a bike/scooter parking thing (ft. Julian and Katt)
@tight shoal omg the pink scooter is so cute..didn't know it existed haha (and Julian is always the cutest)
lolol
One space only for ankha

Sherb just gifted a baby romper to raymond.....
I want to make an area for Biskit but I’m not sure what to do, ideas?
@tight shoal I have never met biskit before but if he likes bugs do a garden, if he likes fish do a pond
