That is why I said to visit my island.

abstract kelp
#

I like to scatter my bushes. Just put them in random spots and throw in some flowers/weeds. Or you can put them in rows~

eager burrow
#

bushes along the road would make it feel really cramped

livid vessel
#

Hmm true maybe but I like a crampy look😂

deep pulsar
#

Can you visit?

livid vessel
#

It doesn’t really matter if people visit you can’t do much when peoples over anyways

abstract kelp
#

@ruby galleon I moved all villager houses + my shops onto the beaches and it helped a lot

ruby galleon
#

@deep pulsar yeah it doesn't really matter they can't place objects or terraform

deep pulsar
#

I will give you the Dodo code, anyway

abstract kelp
deep pulsar
#

Sure.

eager burrow
#

I'd love to terraform peoples island, I hope that becomes a future update

imagine how much bank you could make off of terraforming other peoples islands

Can I see some of your designs outside of Able Sisters? DM me please. Thanks!

eager burrow

I love how unique it is

livid vessel

It’s really cutepeanutwoweyes

eager burrow
sick obsidian
#

That looks so serene! I could just hear the waterfalls

eager burrow
#

Oh thats a good word for it! I never knew how to descrive the feel of my town, I always thought quaint works but friend said nah

livid vessel
#

Hmm it’s pretty but I feel like the river can be more dimensional

manic eagle
#

Yeah, it’s quite uniform
But maybe you like that

eager burrow
#

nah I get it. more dimensional, noted

manic eagle
#

omg they’re so cute do you have a code for them @eager burrow

eager burrow
#

I can get one

manic eagle
#

i would love that

eager burrow
#

I just made the area recently, leme dm ya so I can get ya the code next time im on

manic eagle
#

sure please do!

eager burrow
livid vessel
#

They are fr so cute 🥺✨

eager burrow
karmic escarp
#

Any ideas for my entrance? The theme of my island is like 40% cottage core and 60% rustic country lol (other than adding a fountain!

silk wind
eager burrow
#

@karmic escarp more bushes!

livid vessel
#

Even some cliffs and small waterfalls

eager burrow
#

@silk wind I'm a sucker for cafes and resturants that actually have a place where the food is prepared.

manic eagle
#

@karmic escarp i would add more natural elements, weeds, flowers, bushes

woven drift
#

@karmic escarp i think country fence would look better than the wooden fence, also i think it fits your theme better!

karmic escarp
#

Ty!!!

livid vessel
#

True I’m using those for my island as well

weak notch
eager burrow
#

@weak notch you know what it needs

livid vessel
torn wagon
golden nest
#

What should I add to my rock garden? Also should I replace some of the cedar trees with hardwood?

livid vessel
#

Hedges and maybe flowers the trees can stay in my opinion

golden nest
#

Oh yeah I haven’t added the flowers yet haha^

eager burrow
#

@golden nest this is some odd advice but. if you plant a fruit by a tree it will stop the growth of both the tree and the sapling, try making it an arch of young cedar tree into adult

livid vessel
#

Also maybe some lit up items like nova lights or star clock or mush lamps ? @golden nest

golden nest
#

@eager burrow oh my god that is the smartest thing I’ve ever heard

eager burrow
livid vessel
#

Wow that’s actually really cute and smart

weak notch
#

@eager burrow what does it need?

golden nest
#

@livid vessel I’ve got some nova lights on the surrounding cliffs but I want to be sure that I can still have enough room for all 8 item drops

eager burrow
#

@weak notch A dream address cus I love it

weak notch
#

@eager burrow hah thanks- my island isn't done yet but you could dm me and I can send my insta, on which I will release it when its done

golden nest
#

Ok @eager burrow I’m definitely gonna try that thanks so much 💙💙

sly tapir
#

@golden nest that friccin rock garden looks so kewl

golden nest
#

Thanks :)! @sly tapir

eager burrow
#

@golden nest so like the trees by the arc are stage medium cedar, then the ones to the sides of those are large cedar, then rest adults. Don't do young cedar, they are too small and would make your arc look awkwardly tall. This is mainly to allow the rocks to be more visible

livid vessel
#

Tiny cedar trees are actually so cute ngl😌

golden nest
#

Gotcha. My only issue is that it would make my rock archway look massive compared to the trees in front. Do you think it would still look alright?

#

Like the medium stage

eager burrow
#

@golden nest maybe even just doing 2 large cedar, which are taller than arc, by the arc. mess around and see, I know for a fact the young cedar would be awkward.

golden nest
#

Okay I’ll give it a shot ☺️ thanks for the advice

eager burrow
#

yesss

golden nest
#

I’ll try it and tag you in a little bit

#

Wait how are those torches floating ?

eager burrow
#

My island is full of mystery! >.> (its an old glitch lol)

warped spindle
#

hi again, sorry for coming back so quickly with another question like this, but would this be a good spot to ask for help coming up with a "label" for an island's appearance? or aesthetic i guess

livid vessel
#

Label ? As in those words on the ground ?

eager burrow
#

like cottagecore of city etc i am assuming

warped spindle
#

more like, a title i guess. like, "Cottagecore" being a title for an island's aesthetic, yeah

eager burrow
#

I wish I could figure out a label for my island, Its theme is a side split between stone and brick but that doesnt make for an attractive label

warped spindle
#

im trying to figure out what to call what im going for, so i can keep myself on track for my plan

#

like, it doesn't seem like something i'd know how to describe well enough to look up inspiration on google images or whatever

eager burrow
#

spam chat with pics and we will come up with a label!

golden nest
#

Yess I wanna see

warped spindle
#

well, the island is pretty...messy, so i mean i could just send the items that im using in a collage, if that'd help
plus i cant really upload anything from the switch nicely right now

native moth
eager burrow
#

you're clearly the best at what you do haha

native moth
#

🥺 isahearts you guys are so sweet.

#

@eager burrow so here’s what the medium would look like. I personally think that it should just be large and fully grown. Do u agree?

warped spindle
#

i pulled up a list of the things i really like using, and looking at it all together, it kind of reminds me of like...funky jurassic park? if that's a thing?
i want to include a lot of bug models too, its just hard to get all the pictures of those yakno

#

there's a bunch of trees as well obviously so

gloomy wadi
#

What items should I put into my garden? I have mushrooms, watermelon, cacao trees, a mush stool and mush log. I just don’t know!

eager burrow
#

@golden nest yes I agree, the large will be less of a view blocker than adult, dont forget to plant fruit(fruit) by the trees to stunt growth.

golden nest
#

Ok 😊

shy sand
#

Hopefully this is right channel but I've finished 7 out of my 8 user homes. I'm stuck on what to do for two of my user rooms.

Would anyone have pictures of rooms (and/or furniture that would go) that use concrete wall or steel-frame wall? Trying to get inspiration. 🙂

abstract kelp
#

@gloomy wadi You could use all of it! They all work well together

eager burrow

#

@eager burrow Ah ty!

gloomy wadi
#

@abstract kelp yes! I put those in there but I’m just wondering if I’m missing something? I also put in mum cushions!

thorny nebula
eager burrow
abstract kelp
#

@gloomy wadi Ah I understand now. I think you should add a scarecrow! and maybe some beekeeper's hives? If you wanted a honey farm too!

gloomy wadi
#

@abstract kelp omg yes! Thank you so much!

thorny nebula
#

Awe thanks hun!

long sorrel
abstract kelp
#

@gloomy wadi Yellow cosmos work really well in honey farms if you wanted to give that a try too~ last idea is a water pump!

eager burrow
golden nest
#

Hey @eager burrow how would you suggest that I hide the sprouts? I put them behind the tree but they’re still visible

eager burrow
#

@golden nest thats actually how I hide mine, but sometimes placing them for decor is ok and you can put the to the diagonal back of the trees and put something infront the blocks them. If it irks ya too much weigh the pros and cons and see if baby trees work for you. I really like young trees because they make trees more dynamic

red folio
#

Finally happy with how this looks, think it needs a few more bushes though

golden nest
#

Alright thanks again @eager burrow

Finally I was able to accommodate my stones and I did this little tribute to the flute boy who tried to find the triforce and did not succeed 😢 For ever in our hearts 💚

leaden quest
#

Is this anybody island or know anybody ? Im paying somebody to design an island for me and they did it too fast .. i didnt even send fhem an pic of an layout .. i dnt wanna get scammed out of 2M bells lol

eager burrow
#

@golden nest look. theres your answer about how itd look with hardwood lol

golden nest
#

Aye you’re right haha

#

Okay LAST question 😂 @eager burrow Would the sapling keep the tree next to the arch as a large tree?

eager burrow
#

Yes! that sapling will keep both trees stunted

golden nest
#

Yay perfect ☺️

eager burrow
#

if you cant plant a regular tree because the tree is too close than its in stunting territory

golden nest
#

Awesome ty

My island doesn't really have a specific theme, but my island is supposed to be based of a village outside the busy city of Tokyo.

What flower type and color should I use on my natural forest type island aswell as bushes

vapid sorrel
#

Anyone interested in coming to help me redesign my flower bed? I just can't think of any good ideas.

zealous valve
#

@stark plank most people use white flowers such as tulips, hyacinths, and cosmos for that natural, subtle look and for bushes i say just go with what’s in season to bloom now which are hibiscuses right now

Place some tools on stall or table, @heady edge o wait I think there’s a tabletop of a tool box from a diy if you have that?

heady edge
#

@tardy pebble yes I think the tool box would be a great addition! Thanks so much!

@empty hull lots of people do teppanyaki restaurants for zucker

austere fog

I have a small one where the flowers are all mixed instead of being organized by color, and i dont think I will ever tear it down

vernal oxide

@empty hull a lot of people have done restaurants (sushi usually) for Zucker. My yard for him kind of sucks (I need to change it)

@rich tree omg i love that movie. btw whose house are you using for the bakery?
@zealous valve omg sorry I didn’t see this for so long! I’m using Kiki’s house 🙂

@woven drift i think pandas aren't native in japan but china so maybe pinky?

candid drift
#

Does anybody have any spooky island inspo?

zealous valve
#

maybe replace her with zucker since he's based off of a takoyaki, that japanese street snack @woven drift

eager burrow
#

@zealous valve I've never seen an anteater in Japan either.

long sorrel
woven drift
#

@zealous valve Alright thanks for your feedback

austere fog
#

Anteaters are not native to japan either, but their houses and style seem to fit 😮 so both choices could be valid (replacing them or not)

@austere fog I’ll check what animals are native in japan

zealous valve
#

@woven drift i also think pekoe isn't japanese based but chinese, since she wears that traditional chinese dress, you could replace her with blanche since she wears a kimono

#

also what @eager burrow said, anteaters aren't native in japan either

eager burrow
#

Lol going after the Chinese themed animals while the freaking South American animal is right there

#

@long sorrel i love your deku tree!

@austere fog ty!! 😃💚

Are you looking for any theme in particular? 😮

#

if you want variety, you can try to search in this channel for "has:image in:island-layouts museum” you will get more pics of what others have been doing with their museums!

I updated my blacksmith with some of the inspiration from you guys! I'm much happier with it now! Thank you so much!

my area is a maze so it takes up a lot of space but im not done yet with it lol

Very nice! ^^

#

@candid drift if you loop up @woven driftVomit and @emivomit on twitter, they have some very good spooky islands! They also often retweet and follow more people with spooky themes, it’s worth checking it out!

#

Hello! I’m redoing my island and all the red spaces is basically going to be /is empty and I wanted some help with figuring out what to do in these spots! Going for a fancyish- marble type theme :)

#

Hey I just cleared my island villagershrugsmug anyways I'm going for a nature theme if anyone has ideas I might like please send them and tag me 💞

#

Does anyone have a sideways entrance? My plaza is too close so I’m trying to make my entrance to the opposite side.

icy flint
#

i have a close town hall too but instead of going around i went slanted hopefully this helps until someone sends a better pic

modern ridge
#

Slanted?

icy flint
#

yes the way into my island is behind the vending machine

modern ridge
#

Oh I see

icy flint
#

wish i had better pics but my pic game is awful and haven't taken pics of my island since im constantly adding stuff

zealous valve
#

@coral plaza what spaces do you have so far

coral plaza
#

So far I have a small fountain area, a little statue spot, a little library, 4 houses planned, and my museum. The rest of the homes and shops I don’t know where should go quite yet

zealous valve
#

@coral plaza something you could do is a french/italian garden with marble flooring to walk around

icy flint
#

i missed you sand hanitizer! have ya done anything new with ya island?

zealous valve
#

@icy flint oh hey! i haven’t really been gone but i’ve been checking (lurking) in this chat sporadically lmao

#

@icy flint nothing really new but i did renovate some housing exteriors and my own

faint arrow
#

Campsite is done!!!! Let me know what you guys think? And is this a nice spot for my ramp? Also need decor ideas for my pond/falls 😊

icy flint
#

lmao im the one who was gone a little but tried to stop and check out the chat once in a while just tryna think of items to get and how to place them for my next area

zealous valve
#

@icy flint yeah i remember you lol how’s that goin

icy flint
#

for the lake i think a nice campfire and a wild log bench with a cooler on the side and a rod maybe as well

woven drift
#

@faint arrow your island is sooo cutee 💕

icy flint
blazing night
#

So, instead of agonising about how the ramp placement never looks just quite right, how about a floor level museum, but have a ramp directly next to it going up 1 cliff level for a display up there instead?

icy flint
#

and i haven't taken new pics of my old places since im still tryna get the right flowers and enough materials for that certain item

zealous valve
#

@icy flint that sounds interesting! i think @scenic blaze made this awesome medieval inspired market as well near her redd area that you can prob check out and get inspo from

icy flint
#

@blazing night i have something similar like that but im not on my switch and haven't taken any pics nor have a dream address but what i did on the left i put dino fossils and on the right next to the ramp i put some art display and for the ramp leading up i put a stargazing area in a way

#

@zealous valve yeah ima go off of @scenic blaze and her idea (already saved it haha) and ima use the custom design for the stalls as well - even tho i had the same idea i was just too late lol

zealous valve
#

@icy flint be sure to post the finished product, would love to see it!

icy flint
#

it'll get done soon if i don't keep going back to other places to redo certain spots haha and ill make sure to tag ya

#

Is there anyone else that has examples of a sideway entrance? My plaza is too close to my airport so I’m trying to lead the entrance to the opposite side.

#

I have a few areas I want to redo and since I am in northen hemi, I dun have shrooms YET. But I thought of recreating Dom’s out door gym area to a forest area. Can anyone share some simple ideas and tag me so I won’t miss out?

zealous valve
#

@stable dragon are you still doing the gym area but making it forest themed?

stable dragon
#

Dom is the only Jock, so I wanted give him a gym, but if I have to remove the gym to match a forest I will. But it’d be cool if I can get both going together but sounds like a weird theme.

blazing night
#

use the Wild Log Bench as his set of weights

#

maybe put a hay bed with a wild log bench at the top for a weight bench?

stable dragon
#

Probably worse case scenario to give Dom all the gym equipment 🤣 so it is in his house instead

zealous valve
#

@stable dragon yeah, i have the same problem since he has that cabin looking house, i made him live in the wilderness area of my island and i didn't know how to make his exterior match his jock personality

#

since my island is all natural

#

@blazing night that sounds like a SMART idea

blazing night
#

Could also give him a climbing wall piece of furniture with trees next to it or a cliff behind

zealous valve
#

dang if a tire tree swing existed in game i would give him that

#

there's also those toy tires, can customize them white to keep it natural

stable dragon
#

My island is very mixed depending on which villager’s area. Because it is hard to stick to 1 theme. Raddle has the worse area because I still can’t think of what to do for him. But that can wait

#

WAIT THEY CAN BE CUSTOMED? Ok that is one new tip

zealous valve
#

i lowkey forgot but i hope they can be customized

stable dragon
#

Hmmm now to think of it, tires could be added and make a small junkyard forest? 🤔 because I still need ideas on places to put stumps so I guess that will work

zealous valve
#

oh good news they are customizable, just checked nookazon

#

oooh that sounds interesting

#

i was honestly thinking of giving my dom a tree house but idk how to make that work lol

Why couldn't they make it the same size as Ables

@woven drift unfortunately only you would be able to decorate your island. Other players can dig up flowers if they’re your best friend and possibly trees (not sure about that)

Anyone have island maps with a lot of water features that looks natural. here’s my island so far, looking for water inspo, and maybe a better spot to put my museum, it blocks the view of the house behind it

tardy pebble
#

Probably wanna doing terraforming first, before moving it to save bells.

I had moved my house and other villagers a few times to group them up for residential area. It’s a bit annoying if your limited on bells @fallen tulip

Oh yeah, I just wanna be able to plan ahead so I can pick the right spot. Besided, I have bells to spare lmao

hello can someone help me design my island?

#

Hey guys I was wondering what I should build to fill up this empty space, I’m going for cottagecore, any ideas? :))
@main sedge What I did is just make abunch of mini cliffs or whatever they are called, add flowers around it and have the cliffs lead somewhere. Here’s how it turned out for me, it looks like a cute path area! (I make my paths and such look like this too, so it looks like that throughout my island :)) )

I’m going for a bit more fairycore vibe haha

@worldly ginkgo might be a hack. But I’ve never seen it. You could try asking in #glitches-archived

It’s a painting area. :)

@native moth so gooooood! How?! Been wanting to do this but scared that my rocks will spawn in places I don’t want them to

native moth
#

@idle notch tbh I thought I'd never put in the effort to do it. But now my island full of stuff so tbh it wasnt too hard because I dont have a ton of free space haha

#

I didnt know what formation I wanted either, but this one worked out to my suprise when a fountain fit perfectly there! Now I'm going to build a park around it

idle notch
#

@native moth i think i have to flood my free spaces first. just have to be strategic about it 😅

#

My rocks are literally all over the place

native moth
#

I always just broke my rocks when they were in my way but then I noticed they were all spawning in the same area and I had covered my island in pathing so might as well do the thing

idle notch
#

I still have patches of green left. Thinking that when I smash a rock, I’ll just immediately cover the space with something @native moth

native moth
#

@idle notch do it up! I think itll be easier if you do it that way.

well, you start off by deciding different areas you want to make, you collect items, and place them

i'm not sure how i can help by coming over haha! best i can do is brainstorm some ideas with you

I dont have that much items for Disney theme i am trying so hard to get the theme park items but i dont have

oh, well it might be easier to do a disney theme, rather than a disneyland park, there will be more possibities i think (there aren't that many theme park items)

Omg so random guys but i was looking at older photos when i first started this game and i coudlnt help but laugh at what got me started on designing my island take a guess

gaunt relic
#

Hey I just went in to happy island designer is this a decent layout for a island ? It’s just a rough sketch

ocean raft
#

It looks great! But you won't be able to remove the water in the back completely, there will always be a thin strip of land.

gaunt relic
#

Oh right yeah that was a accident i made

ionic wyvern
#

I think you meant to put an incline on the top middle instead of a bridge. On the island with the shops

gaunt relic
#

I wanted three different themes so
The bottom right village is Japanese’s and zen like

The top right is gothic and spiritual village

And the top left is cottage and fairy core

The middle island is goons be variety of them of all sane with the shooing district

#

Yeah you was correct that’s supposed to be a secret entry to a nice picnic area

@thin venture put light dirt in front of your waterfall, and then display a dinosaur of your choice, and then add like a fence in the front or something

#

im pretty sure its big enough to display t-rex or triceratops

#

or make a small island in the front with a statue or liberty or something

@gentle acorn thank you so much! i love that idea

Any ideas what I should put on this mini island? My island is cottagecore

What’s already in your island

A huge hybrid garden, a museum display, an orchard, a mini post office, a turnip farm/storage, a library/observatory for Celeste

Got one of those too but more couldn’t hurt lol

@woven drift I was looking for something uniform for my villagers since I was having a hard time matching fences to villagers

I think if you want to use the same fence for all houses hedge is better because it looks nice with all house exteriors

#

For marshal I did a cafe for him
@livid vessel Sorry for the late response but i already made a cafe for Raymond and i think 2 cafes would be a bit much.

Though he does seem to sing every single time i see him so maybe a music area would work?

@tacit smelt it really depends on the theme of your island/what paths you use/etc etc!

Which one is better?
@clever cradle I think the brick one

tacit smelt

@storm bluff I haven’t decided on a path might choose a custom one

Does making a little music/singing area for Marshal's yard sound good? He always seems to sing everytime i see him, haha.

@tacit smelt if that’s the case id match the incline/bridge to whatever path you choose!

@chilly vine ok

@distant moat his hobby is music so i think that would be awesome! he also has a piano in his house so it makes sense~

distant moat

Oh wait his hobby is music? I never knew that lol

it all makes sense now

@distant moat yep! villagers have different sub-hobbies/interests. those with music sing a lot, those who like education tend to have a book out, those with the playful hobby do those airplane zoomies all around, etc haha

#

@dapper gazelle a lot of people tend to move buildings to the beach so they have the room to terraform before moving the buildings back

@tacit smelt id recommend the stone bridge and either stone or natural incline

And keep furniture in storage or on the beach as well

@storm bluff ok thanks

@livid vessel my plaza is 6 squares from the beach 😩 but luckily it doesn’t overlap with my airport so I had some more room for a nice entrance. It was hard to deal with but now that dream addresses are a thing, I kind of like it being close to the entrance, it keeps the flow of my island mostly intact. My entrance is mostly cliffs to force people in one direction or another.

Btw, im wondering.. does this look good? Maybe its too messy or something?

there's a log bench behind the tree by the pond, btw

your entrance is really good for the amount of space you worked with! my plaza is around 10 spaces away from my entrance so i can kind of relate to having to interpret your wanted theme into such a small place so really good work on yours!! @scenic blaze

My entrance is 13 tiles away from RS but its kind of a straight line from the airport that leads to the RS

@distant moat omg wow! it looks super good in my opinion! to me, the scattered and like bunched up look actually looks super minimalistic and cute!

just a suggestion but maybe to add a bit more nice nature themes to it would be to get some nice design codes of flowers that fit your space theme! isahearts

Island Idea #1: Analog Island, a tarmacced island wide TV studio complete with red carpet entrance, news room, horror set, game shows and corresponding sets and roles for each "TV star" villager. Takeshis castle for Drago, Drag Race for Diva etc etc.

Island Idea #2: Rustic and Welsh. Celtic imagery and rustic farm/woodland villagers. A swamp, a woodland walk,a farm and a town area. Very basic but thematically coherent.

Island Idea #3: Punk paradise. A cyberpunk neon island with plenty of graffiti and a modern glitched out theme. All the villagers are edgy. Outdoor band stages, protest areas etc

Island Idea #4: Celtic Fantasy Island, witchcraft, crystals, aura, Celtic god's and allmanner of magic and old school Celtic designs. Very rustic and old island with Villagers that look like they came from a Ghibli movie!

Island idea #5: Art Camp Island. An island wide camp with rooms for life drawing, still life, crafting, modern art, performance, whatever works. The entire island is set out to be beautiful and a place to let your inner artist soooaaar.

@woven drift you could use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: japanese” or even try to find Japanese islands in #dream-addresses🌜 or watch 5 star Japanese island tours!

@hushed narwhal I kept mine small and simple. I’ve added the stone arch, and switched the gold rose plant for a street lamp lol

Is my zen garden ok? Not sure if it’s over crowded or if it’s the right amount of items 🤔

woven drift
#

@tight shuttle oh I just got my hands on a super cute picnic basket that's white and pink (pink tupperware) would look soo good on the blanket if you want it

#

@dire wren if you have to ask... your zen garden is very zen.jt can be way worse and cluttered. So I think you did great

#

Being able to actually walk is pretty underrated?

dire wren

Oh the black pagoda is soooo nice!
I’m going to try and do a rock garden next >.< I’ve tried a few times and failed to get the rocks where I want them

open geyser
#

working on my campsite area! this one square is killing me though... anyone know if it can be filled?

sudden turtle
#

Gl!! I hope your vid ends up great!!

#

@open geyser Idk if it can be filled, maybe if you move the campsite and fill it then move the campsite back?

vernal oxide
#

@open geyser you can’t unfortunately

open geyser
#

ahh that’s too bad, thank you!

woven drift
#

@open geyser wair what happens when you move the campsite and fill the square and move it back???

#

0.o or otherwise you can use one of those very natural custom paths which break down the grass nicely

open geyser
#

it was already filled before I moved the campsite there 🙂 moving buildings erases paths but you can usually fill back around them

woven drift
#

Lemme find a pic for you :)))

#

Just use this path like left or away from the empty tile you cant fill

#

working on my campsite area! this one square is killing me though... anyone know if it can be filled?
@open geyser you can fill it but it’s super hard, you have to find a specific way… always been struggling here but it’s possible, good luck

#

It seems thinner than yours hmmm

icy flint
#

@open geyser didn’t know about this campsite path thing but maybe remove the custom path that’s already places and try to move it forward so the campsite has grass but the entrance is covered with the custom path if that makes sense

open geyser
#

ah yeah, that’s close to the path I’m using - I did something similar to made it look less weird but I’d rather it was filled...

woven drift
zealous valve
#

@open geyser i don’t think its possible to fill up that square with that sign in the way, i have a similar situation. i suggest just placing something in front of it to hide that spot

open geyser
#

thanks all! I appreciate the help 😊

woven drift
#

Or you could make a pattern out of it and delete all the paths that are next to the campsite, or something such... I’m not good at explaining @open geyser

icy flint
#

@zealous valve currently tryna remake @scenic blaze stall pattern so instead of the original color it’ll be more of a stone finish so more gray than brown - to fit my theme more

scenic blaze
#

@icy flint if you want it to be more stone-y, a brick pattern shape would help! This is a good guide for it. Mine are shaped specifically to look like hardwood flooring so it would be a little odd if they were grey

manic sigil

@scenic blaze mod mothramarshalcongratslove

@scenic blaze yessssss Queen is a mod. We love to see it

@manic sigil that’s what I’m saying lmao saw the different color and I was like woaaahh

Lmao thanks guys but we gotta keep it layouts related 👀 appreciate the kind words tho 💕

plain forge
#

working on my campsite area! this one square is killing me though... anyone know if it can be filled?
@open geyser customs won't work but I think you might be able to use an in game path to fill that spot up, so maybe you can try to make a 2x3 square dirt area right at the sign and under a few of the custom path surrounding the sign and it'll give the illusion that the spot is filled :)

Gonna finish my spots today and try to take good pics of my island finally

@scenic blaze more like MODra. Congrats

@dire tapir technically if you never update the dream you can 👀 you'll just have to have others come via dodo to see the new island. But yes I agree, it's a struggle bc I'm planning to tear down my island next month for a new theme

@vernal oxide I am still in the middle of moving my buildings around to create the shopping area but honestly I don't have the furniture and items to really make any neat areas yet

Its "white"

#

@sand night why not just go to a few catalog parties for furniture?

untold plank
#

so i have this empty space between Ables and Nooks and i need ideas if anyone would like to help!

sand night
#

@dire tapir What's a catalog party?

dire tapir
#

@sand night it's where you go to another person's island with a bunch of sets of furniture and you touch them so you can order them from your own catalog.

sand night
#

@dire tapir I had no idea that was a thing

vernal oxide
#

@sand night if you ask in #cataloging for cataloging parties. It’s usually a group of people, including you, who bring 9 items that can be cataloged!

#

Everyone goes around in a circle picking up 9 items, and dropping them again!

dire tapir
#

It's the free way. Otherwise you can pay for other catalog events

vernal oxide

@plain forge same! I want to get a video of the island I have now to do something new 😩

@dire tapir thank you!

@plain forge I’m not entirely sure yet, but I loveee the canal idea. So I definitely have to include that. And that sound so cool ! Omg I can’t wait to see your island when you do that 👀

How did y’all design your island did you flatten it

yes @onyx robin

at first i regretted flattening my island because i killed all my natural rivers and its so diffuclt and long to terraform natural rivers but eventually I found a layout which worked for me

@onyx robin

If the rivers look funky just round the corners and try to not have sharp corners and turns

@toxic oar imo you can never go wrong with some bamboo and regular trees, and add some flowers and some nova lights along with some other themed items

#

Have the pottery making area. But the spot in the bottom right where the 3 plants are doesn't seem right. Any ideas of what to put there instead?

icy flint
#

@arctic ledge not a pro at this but i've seen people talking how if they have a 2 row narrow path they would put one on the left side then the next row it would be the right, or if its a path with a lot of curves then some people just tried to place a path where it wouldn't be showing hope this helps!

@pale tangle you could put the heart here instead, the natural river is already mostly heart shaped. Then for the rest you could just copy the other side!

@toxic oar i need all the patience for sure 😂 but it’s my best bet thank you!!
