That is why I said to visit my island.
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~
bushes along the road would make it feel really cramped
Hmm true maybe but I like a crampy look😂
Can you visit?
It doesn’t really matter if people visit you can’t do much when peoples over anyways
@ruby galleon I moved all villager houses + my shops onto the beaches and it helped a lot
@deep pulsar yeah it doesn't really matter they can't place objects or terraform
I will give you the Dodo code, anyway
@deep pulsar As nooklingjunction said earlier, if you want people to visit your island, the best place to go to is #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales
Sure.
I'd love to terraform peoples island, I hope that becomes a future update
my plant shop & waiting area of my coffee shop 🌿
imagine how much bank you could make off of terraforming other peoples islands
They glow!
if anyone has any pics of an outdoor movie theatre i’d greatly appreciate it if u could show me bc i rly wanna make one but am pretty low on inspo :,D thanks!
@coarse jewel Omg that's amazing!
@abstract kelp thank you!
Wh.. are they standing on water? 👀
What do you guys think of my entrance? (Sorry for image quality, im lazy ✨)
Can I see some of your designs outside of Able Sisters? DM me please. Thanks!
I love how unique it is
It’s really cute
Little part of my town
That looks so serene! I could just hear the waterfalls
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
Hmm it’s pretty but I feel like the river can be more dimensional
Yeah, it’s quite uniform
But maybe you like that
omg they’re so cute do you have a code for them @eager burrow
I can get one
i would love that
I just made the area recently, leme dm ya so I can get ya the code next time im on
sure please do!
Here's a close up, they wave at you when you walk by
They are fr so cute 🥺✨
This is the pink park next to Ables
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!
Vivian’s cafe
@karmic escarp more bushes!
Even some cliffs and small waterfalls
@silk wind I'm a sucker for cafes and resturants that actually have a place where the food is prepared.
@karmic escarp i would add more natural elements, weeds, flowers, bushes
@karmic escarp i think country fence would look better than the wooden fence, also i think it fits your theme better!
Ty!!!
True I’m using those for my island as well
I've got an HD photo of my enterance now uwu
@weak notch you know what it needs
Anyone got ideas to fill this place up?
my recent project: flower valley 🌹
What should I add to my rock garden? Also should I replace some of the cedar trees with hardwood?
Hedges and maybe flowers the trees can stay in my opinion
Oh yeah I haven’t added the flowers yet haha^
@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
Also maybe some lit up items like nova lights or star clock or mush lamps ? @golden nest
@eager burrow oh my god that is the smartest thing I’ve ever heard
Here's an example of young trees arcing into adults
Wow that’s actually really cute and smart
@eager burrow what does it need?
@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
@weak notch A dream address cus I love it
@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
Ok @eager burrow I’m definitely gonna try that thanks so much 💙💙
@golden nest that friccin rock garden looks so kewl
Thanks :)! @sly tapir
@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
Tiny cedar trees are actually so cute ngl😌
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
@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.
Okay I’ll give it a shot ☺️ thanks for the advice
yesss
I’ll try it and tag you in a little bit
Mermaid spa by airport for visitors after a long flight
rocket’s and bluebear’s yard <3
Wait how are those torches floating ?
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
Label ? As in those words on the ground ?
like cottagecore of city etc i am assuming
more like, a title i guess. like, "Cottagecore" being a title for an island's aesthetic, yeah
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
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
spam chat with pics and we will come up with a label!
Yess I wanna see
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
I shared my computer store picture earlier but I wanted to show off the whole street!
you're clearly the best at what you do haha
🥺
you guys are so sweet.
there was a double rainbow
@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?
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
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!
@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.
Ok 😊
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. 🙂
@gloomy wadi You could use all of it! They all work well together
@shy sand #happy-home-designs is where you'd want to go for interior work
@eager burrow Ah ty!
@abstract kelp yes! I put those in there but I’m just wondering if I’m missing something? I also put in mum cushions!
Updated art studio!
Cropped it for ya so peeps can see it better @thorny nebula
@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!
@abstract kelp omg yes! Thank you so much!
Awe thanks hun!
Welcome to Hyrule Market!
@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!
My tiny bee farm
Hey @eager burrow how would you suggest that I hide the sprouts? I put them behind the tree but they’re still visible
@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
Finally happy with how this looks, think it needs a few more bushes though
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 💚
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
@golden nest look. theres your answer about how itd look with hardwood lol
Aye you’re right haha
Okay LAST question 😂 @eager burrow Would the sapling keep the tree next to the arch as a large tree?
Yes! that sapling will keep both trees stunted
Yay perfect ☺️
if you cant plant a regular tree because the tree is too close than its in stunting territory
Awesome ty
Babies!
That’s so. cute. 🥰🥰
oh woops thats an old pic, he has pirate stuff now
now people can actually tell he's a pirate, see the fishy on the ground! It's squaggly cause he's an old cranky gator
He eat my own face
😳
Thank you :D
Thank you :D
This is my favorite thing I've ever done
which is better? will be for a star/museum space
I like the stego better. Strong shiloutte
thank you 🙂
My nooks cranny ^^
I moved my house to the far side of the map and made it into a medium farm.. also movin Nook's Cranny over to the beach and makin it into a general store outside.
@woven drift , your nooks cranny is so pretty and tranquil looking, and I'm like "Godzilla smash store lmao"
I also have a few photos of my neighborhood in the afternoon
what a cozy vibe
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.
Like similar to the one featured in the japanese movie: "Your Name"
haha
he sees all
The finished product 💙🦋
yay! see you would hardly even see those two lower side rocks if not for the young trees, blue goes with grey well
I agree! It looks so much better I really appreciate all of your help you’ve been so sweet @eager burrow
Niiice!!!
What flower type and color should I use on my natural forest type island aswell as bushes
Anyone interested in coming to help me redesign my flower bed? I just can't think of any good ideas.
@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
Does anyone have a post office on their island? I’m trying to create my own and I need inspo
What flower type and color should I use on my natural forest type island aswell as bushes
@stark plank
cosmos, tulips and hyacinths. I reccoment white, and rlly any bushes are good that fit with your theme
Can I see anyone’s beach? I have no ideas for mine.
Anyone has a tropical island? I don’t know what path to use! 😦
Anyone here with a good cottage core island that can help me decorate it
@golden nest love it !! my rock garden is blue themed as well 🥰💙
@woven drift here’s a list of ideas!
I see.
@storm bluff ooo mind snapping a pic? I love rock gardens so much lol
@golden nest here you go!
Wow that’s gorgeous 🤩
@woven drift if you try searching this in the search bar you can see past photos people have posted of their beaches → in:island-layouts has:image beach
my final town map :)
the terraforming is kept pretty natural
@vernal oxide post your DA so I can vote for you
Does anyone have a post office on their island? I’m trying to create my own and I need inspo
@wooden geyser
I have a tiny post office
Finally finished Coco's farm/yard!
I'm trying to experiment with a type of Path™ to see if it'll go with my island
I think it looks quite good
@polar bane vote for me?
I need definite help with my layout! if anyone has any suggestions (even moving the houses) please let me know ✨
@polar bane
@polar bane no idea what that is lmao I haven’t really been on the past few days. Been sick 🙃
It just got announced dummie
Oops 😂😭 I’ll keep an eye out for it
Im going to flatten the back section of my island but idk how to lay everything out, or how to terraform it
Looks to me like you know how to terraform it
I’m trying to make a narrow pathway and I’m stuck designing the top of the cliffs. Any ideas?
i need to do a 3 teir waterfall pool ... river and lake....
any good screen shots for 3 tier cool water works
Anyone have any suggestions for Phoebe's metalwork/blacksmith shop? It seems a little empty to me
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?
@tardy pebble yes I think the tool box would be a great addition! Thanks so much!
@heady edge maybe pieces of the iron armor set? And you could drop some iron onto a stone stool to make it look like an anvil
@heady edge here is how i did my blacksmith
@broken elm uh? How’s this related?
The fireworks at the entrance of my museum are my favorite 🎇🎆
Wow just go boom explosion behind your trex!
Wow so prettyy
i like the warm colors of the flowers!
So lovely! 
to anyone that has done rainbow garden is it worth doing it ? or should i save myself some time and make a smalller one?
i mean rainbow flower feild pls*
Maybe start out with small to see how it goes if it’s your first try and see how it looks?
@dry rover i have one and i love it so much 100% worth it
@dry rover I did a small one that’s separated by a cliff that has a walkway through it. It’s different lol I think it’s cute
i did for my entrance and its not too bad collected alot of flowers from a bunch of ppl and just start to feel a bit overwhelmed cus how bit itll be
Anyone have ideas for yards for lolly, Rosie, flurry, Zucker, and Shari?
its gonna look like this the rainbow is where the flowers are ofc
I absolutely love rainbow flower fields!
@empty hull lots of people do teppanyaki restaurants for zucker
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
@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 🙂
Oooo that's a good idea, I'd have to find the very popular fish drying rack but that's a great idea y'all
Can I post a photo of the villagers i chose for my japanese island, i need advice
Here’s my jumping pond
@rich tree np, i forgot that she had a black cat in the movie so it came together! lol
@golden nest i love it omg!!
Thanks 😄 @stoic pawn
I just read up, poor zucker being squid and serving sushi..,
@woven drift yeah go ahead, this channel can definitely help
Don’t know what to call this spot but here it is
so pretty! 
Is there any villager i should change? Im doing a japanese themed island
Those villagers look good to me!
@woven drift i think pandas aren't native in japan but china so maybe pinky?
Does anybody have any spooky island inspo?
maybe replace her with zucker since he's based off of a takoyaki, that japanese street snack @woven drift
@zealous valve I've never seen an anteater in Japan either.
The Deku Tree 🌳
@zealous valve Alright thanks for your feedback
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)
And here is my lavender field 😄
What do you guys think of my yard? I changed it up today because I wasn't happy with it but I'm wondering if you guys have any extra lil ideas to put out :) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ee8uUuLU8AAyyWA?format=jpg&name=large
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
@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
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
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.
i have a close town hall too but instead of going around i went slanted hopefully this helps until someone sends a better pic
Slanted?
yes the way into my island is behind the vending machine
Oh I see
wish i had better pics but my pic game is awful and haven't taken pics of my island since im constantly adding stuff
@coral plaza what spaces do you have so far
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
@coral plaza something you could do is a french/italian garden with marble flooring to walk around
i missed you sand hanitizer! have ya done anything new with ya island?
@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
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 😊
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
@icy flint yeah i remember you lol how’s that goin
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
@faint arrow your island is sooo cutee 💕
bad pic and bad angle but tried to get the full area pic and for the theme ima try to do a harbor/ medieval times marketplace for redd with his statues and some other stuff
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?
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
@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
@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
@icy flint be sure to post the finished product, would love to see it!
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.
hold on, I can get some pics of my work in progress entrance
Thank you
@austere fog Sorry for the late response!! I'll check out their twitter, Thanks a bunch!
Outdoor Sakura Restaurant 🙂
That works thank you! @blazing night
I always have trouble figuring out what to put directly to the sides of resident services, and im completely stumped here
@coarse cliff cuteee
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?
@stable dragon are you still doing the gym area but making it forest themed?
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.
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?
Probably worse case scenario to give Dom all the gym equipment 🤣 so it is in his house instead
@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
Could also give him a climbing wall piece of furniture with trees next to it or a cliff behind
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
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
i lowkey forgot but i hope they can be customized
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
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
1 level of cliff, in the stylised shape of a tree, his house in the top part of the canopy with shrubs planted all around it, with wood path on top of the cliff as the trunk
Y’all I’m about to redo the entire left side of my island and spend 1 mil bells to move the villagers’ houses 😭😭
I dedicate too much time to this game
same
The right side of my island is a pretty forest themed island paradise and the left side is a wasteland
I know the feeling, I'm spending over 500k just to basically move each house one block to the right.
Lmao rippppp
I hate trying to make my island OCD friendly.
I’m just tired of having to use a ladder to get to the secret beach and I HATE this “gated community” thing I did for housing
anybody else want to throw nooks cranny into the ocean?
Mee 🥰
its too dam big
FR
Why couldn't they make it the same size as Ables
I had to get rid of sooo many trees to put it in the spot I wanted
it really should be 5x4 like ables instead of 7x4 like the museum
I had to change my whole river shape
Pog 🤠
Can someone help me with housing with my island villagers? I still have no idea what to do with housing. I can't do any changes without knowing housing first.
redid my campsite area
very pretty
@serene mortar you could always set them up in a neighborhood. Here are some layout options you could think about doing!
marshal’s yard 😄
thank u for that
hey! would anyone be up to help me decorate my island? it's super bare & i have no idea what to do with it, but i think my map is cute ^^
@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)
yeah, just like dropping items! ^^
Hey, I'm looking for some inspiration on the landscape around player homes! I know I want to use waterfalls and cliffs in some capacity, but I'm not sure how. Any tips would be appreciated, and I'm willing to change the look of my home if need be
@fallen tulip who do you happen to have as villagers so far? Probably would help knowing, so can know what they look like, and as well as their house too
O wait I’m thinking yards sorry um lol
Yeah I mean like my house
I'm gonna move it at some point, definitely soon, I just need to figure out how I'm gonna do the landscaping around it
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
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
It’s a work in progress but here’s my bakery for kikis delivery service 🥰
Hey guys I was wondering what I should build to fill up this empty space, I’m going for cottagecore, any ideas? :))
does anyone have any cute entrances for their islands? my town hall is super close to my airport
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
Does anybody have a tropical island?
O'Hare's Yard: It's not much, but I'm actually proud of it tbh
@rich tree that looks amazing! I didn’t even realize that Kiki’s house is supposed to look like the bakery !!
@covert tinsel thank you haha! Yeah I was caught off guard too but I’m super happy that the movie got such a solid reference 🥰
just finished agnes’ area!
does anyone have cliffs with waterfalls on all sides including corners?
@worldly ginkgo I have something similar to what you’re looking for!
@vernal oxide oh nice i was wondering if waterfalls on the corners were a hack or just me doing it wrong
@worldly ginkgo might be a hack. But I’ve never seen it. You could try asking in #glitches-archived
Which one looks better ?
Hey! Does anyone have any cute two-tiered campsites (preferably not cottagecore) i saw a specific one and now i cant find it again 😅
Looking for outdoorsy library
I’ve posted this version of these cliffs before (like, with all the new lights and stuff added) but it was still light out when I took that photo, I‘m v happy with how it looks at night though
Hi guys, Does this path look weird? I’m trying to come up with a path to use in tight places with my tree stumps.
@ionic crag these are my fav outside library’s
@ionic crag here is my library 😊
Wow so pretty
Any ideas of what I could build here?
what’s your island theme? (if you have one)
Proud of my lil entrance not perfect but it’ll do 😊
Nothing specific just whatever feels right @livid dome
hmmm a little marketplace or smth might fit there if you don’t have one already, like, set up some stalls and fill them with things
@livid dome i do have the market place nearby stalls sound like a good idea thanks
@woven drift so cute!
My house garden. 🌲🍀
@livid dome garden and country with a bit of cottagecore 😅
Created a reading nook in my island!
oooooo cute!!!
Hello
Looking for some backyard inspo!! Pls I’m so stuck lol
Does anyone have more than one house? I wanna see your map to see where you put your other house 😊
😭 it is done
@west olive the second house is the pub
@versed wadi thank you!
@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
@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
@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
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
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
@idle notch do it up! I think itll be easier if you do it that way.
how do you build a second house?!
i was honestly thinking of giving my dom a tree house but idk how to make that work lol
@zealous valve when you do it I’d wanna see tbh, I am currently forcing dom to take all my gym equipments 🤣
Here are some of my favorite areas of my island! They're simple, but I love them 💕
@jade surge nice!
I created a second character for my island because i thought it would give me extra design slot ... it does not......
Hi can someone Help me I need help for my island design if anyone would help me plz dm me and i will tell u the theme
you can ask your questions here! what is your theme?
you can divide it into different areas inspired by different disney movies..
Oh ya
Hey guys! Ive been remodeling my Island from scratch lately. Everything is planned except the beach parts! Anybody got some beautiful beaches for some inspiration?
I'd love to see them!
pirates of the carribean = pirate items
But I’m not that good of a disgner
moana = tropical area, frozen = ice items
Does anyone have pics of a cottage core decorated island i can use the help decorate fine
@zealous cloak can u come to my island and help me maybe
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)
Ik
Maybe a little bit on Disneyland and much more disney theme
Can i send u a pic of my map
yeah let's chat in dm
Ok

Oh thx
@full star whats your theme
Err
cottage is like natural, cliffs, THE path
@full star ehh its nott cottage core but it might give you an idea lol
thank you!
Opps thats an old pic lol
I might go for a more natural smoothie bar next to my orchard
See i need orchard ideas because i got one corner with just hybrid flowers and trees
Hehe
do you guys have any idea on what I can do for this small space beside my rs? 😕
mini library, mini cafe, small art display (statue on the ground, painting on the cliffs)..
@vast siren maybe somethimg like this
thank you guys!
Posting my farm for like the 7th time but I m still proud 😳
@static dirge i love it!
HAISJSJSHSHS so cUTE!
Arent they adding veggies in the game too
same love it
Thanks everyone 🥺
Just got done with my spa area. Its a huge area so i might have to take a vid
I'm ordering a better lamp for where the bookshelves are, but this is my newly renovated cafe! 😳

@limber ginkgo it’d look so much cosier if you put cliffs surrounding it!
New front yard and nice viewing place for fireworks
@limber ginkgo it’d look so much cosier if you put cliffs surrounding it!
@static dirge ooh yeah I think so too, I'll do it a biit later since it's really close to a bridge & i'd have to shift everything over to the right a little bit
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
Hey I just went in to happy island designer is this a decent layout for a island ? It’s just a rough sketch
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.
Oh right yeah that was a accident i made
I think you meant to put an incline on the top middle instead of a bridge. On the island with the shops
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
Oh wow
Damn it’s so neat and creative 
Island tour soon, maybe 
Can ppl go in your house from dream suite
There we go I updated it with paths again it’s rough sketch
I’m just always amazed how people can plan it out beforehand I tried using the planner but I alway ended up not knowing where goes where 😅
Same
Lol 😂 the only math I’m doing in ac is measuring houses and spaces
Looks so relaxing.
Ty
My beach and ramp for swimming~ (sorry for low quality pic)
Looks really nice
Thanks
zen fence @topaz acorn
No the one with the rope behind the stall
that would be the rope fence then
O wow XD
Planning islands is a bad idea imo
I prefer just doing it bit by bit and in the moment so it turns out the best it can
I dont plan either but I think it can work for others ^^
yeah I'm the same honestly except when I decide I need what I did but in another place so I move everything at once 
I did not plan this disaster yesterday but I think chaotic things suit me. That makes for the last area of my island and then I can update my dream island again!
Oh that fauna with the butterfly is so beautiful. Woah the patience in taking that shot!
I did not plan to make a farm but here we are! And yeah it took an hour to get the right shot 😳
WHAT omg ;__; you're the best haha
I enjoy photography on this game
I was hoping it’d be a monarch butterfly but I think it came out nicely all the same
Love the jailbars. I used to take really ugly shots but may! Taught me a few lessons haha
Yes!!! It is just as nice as the monarch one :D pls dont wait another hour hahaha
Thanks that’s my half finished honey area 🙂
I got 2 with the butterfly but this one isn’t as nice
Hahaha did you press the R button
She looks hella spooked hehehe. Still super duper cute <3 "you filming dis?!"
Does that hide the gui thing
Oh I meant shoulder r. To make them look at you
OH! Yes I tried
Hehehehe that spooks my villagers xD
But she was just not having it, she just kept drinking her soup
These are my best villager shots ft. JUDY
Everyone somehow photobombed me afterwards and fought or got upset so I called it a day
ISnt she a nugget! I love her.
Old island hehe
I’m realising I’ve got many photos of fauna even on my old island
i have this area in front of my museum and i don’t know what to do with it. does someone have an idea? i already have one of those cute fountain sitting areas in front of my residence service which is right next to it so i think it would be too much to create one here as well..

@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
Hmm what about a nice little picnic area
Honey stand 
True you could always add a small sitting area or a mini snack bar
@amber moon
I could move the picnic area onto the island, and place a food stall where the picnic area used to be
Mine is overly obnoxious lol
No it isn’t, it’s cute!
Yeah I like it 🙂
My lil market
Obnoxious in a good way! 😂
I have no places yet my islands completely flat XD I’m in the planning stage
And that’s ok 😊
I completely flattened my island too
I did this in happy island designer I have big boy intentions
Damn. Those are indeed big boy intentions
Yes yes they are
Lucky you having your airport, resident services and secret beach all in the middle and lined up
Yeah I guess I kinda wish my airport was more to the right tho
Why?
Idk just to free it up a little but it’s fine lined up
Here’s my island. I was gonna try plan it out using an island planner at first, but I kinda just free styled it.
Damn 5 islanders nice also I really like the island
Thanks! The 5 islanders are me, my parents (2), my little brother and my older brother’s girlfriend
You can have a maximum of 8 islanders/8 Nintendo switch accounts
Wow. I didn’t know you could have more than 2 houses :gasp:
@amber moon ive seen an island with 5 houses lol
I feel like having so many houses would waste so much space 
Oh cool I’m gonna have 4 islanders but they’re all gonna be me and they are gonna be
Merchant - selling random stuff
Tavern - drinks
Me
Traveler - next to my campsite
Maybe a few more if I can be bothered
Hey an looking for inspo for a gym on my island. If anyone has any cool ideas?
Urm honestly I’d just look on google but what was you thinking ?
@gaunt relic
My island so far. Not sure what to do with some free spaces on the top and right //cries
Yeah that cool
@desert isle
I wish I had the patience to make a rock garden lol
@royal timber If I don’t know what to do with a free space I just plant a ton of trees, flowers and bushes
i already made a forest area on the left ;^; I am missing so much furniture still TwT
Is there any particular furniture you’re looking for? DM me and I can show you what I have cataloged!
what should i add in the middle of merengues diner yard? it looks very empty and boring..?
Hey everyone! I'm going to make Marshal's yard. What should i put in his yard that suits him?
I don't know if it helped you😂
these islands are so cute
For marshal I did a cafe for him
Which fence do you guys like better for my neighborhood?
The hedges! @radiant root
@radiant root it depends. I think zen looks good for zen gardens
I dont use fences or hedges for my villagers though so I'm unsure
Hedges are defo more cosy
my map. 🤗
@woven drift I was looking for something uniform for my villagers since I was having a hard time matching fences to villagers
@woven drift map sisters!
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?
my map. 🤗
@woven drift i feel like side mangroves are hard to terraform. your map looks great!
Which one is better?
How do you guys terraform your maps like that, making it all flow nicely, it all seems so put together. I have no idea where to start
How do you guys terraform your maps like that, making it all flow nicely, it all seems so put together. I have no idea where to start
@hasty heart pick a corner and work from there.
What bridge and incline does everyone recommend, I’m redoing my island and idk what to chooseeeee
I don’t know what to do with this open space.. any ideas?
@next herald reading/book area or picnic area
@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
@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~
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
Erik always has a book out looking at my flowers haha never knew he was educational 😂
Ooh.. i see...
The villagers with the playful hobbies look so cute when they just nyoom
@idle shadow that’s the nature hobby! theyre always learning abt plants or watering flowers.
Need any tips. I’m thinking of redoing my whole island! What did you all do with all the items on your island and buildings when restarting?
here’s cherry and cyds concert area yard! both of their hobbies are music. so i did this! 💞
@storm bluff oh wow ty that makes a lot more sense! :))
there’s a chart in #datamined-info with all villagers and their info, including hobby: https://tinyurl.com/NmlNpcParam if anyones interested
@storm bluff https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/680084097690763295/738435168255082586/image1.jpg I’m using this one
@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
I just realized i havent built a bridge connecting the tiny island Canberra's house was on to the rest of my island.
I was confused why i didnt see her there alongside everyone else during the fireworks show. I went to her area and i saw her stuck lmaoo
any elegant spa ideas? i wanna do a spa for diana’s yard
@storm bluff @idle shadow Ok thanks! I have soooo many flowers too! What should I do with those? Just sell to NCs?
you can sell, trash them, move to the beach, or even trade them in #flower-plants-trade
@dapper gazelle if there’s any hybrids u wanna keep put all them in a corner of ur island that ur probably gonna touch last!
What a coincidence, i want to make a spa for diana's yard too!
U guys can use maybe the outdoor bath or the cypress bath for ur spas!
@gentle acorn thank you! 🥰
Does anyone have an island map with the villager houses spread out??
@weak owl mine are scattered quite a bit! They each have themed areas in my island although not all of them are totally finished yet
Thank you! Do you mind if I visit your island via dream?
Of course not 🙂 please enjoy!
Hi! I’m looking for a person who’s good at cottagecore/fairycore to take a look at my island. I did some renovations but need a bit of help with some areas. Ty 🙂
I wanted to scatter my villager's houses but then i realized that i ended up putting their houses in pairs of 2-
And then there's Canberra with an Australia shaped lake-
My entrance! Do u think the terraforming is good and I’m adding a diagonal bridge on the river to the right
Some of mine are paired up, coco and clay share an area, and Kiki and Rudy also share one. It keeps things interesting lol. I used to have a neighborhood area but demolished it for scattering and it gave me a lot more creative freedom
@idle shadow looks great! The cliffs will be beautiful when they’re decorated 🙂
Ty 🥺
Any ideas for a market area/marketplace near able's and nook's cranny?
@idle shadow i like it but in my personal opinion, i would add some more natural things such as trees and flowers and that would really tie the look for me! 
Damn surprisingly your town hall is quite close to your airport @scenic blaze how did you decorate it ?
I used to think my old neighborhood area (top pic) was good.
Eventhough its still WIP, yeah no i definitely prefer the newer one.
ty @primal tide was just gonna see if I liked it and then was gonna decorate!
ty @primal tide was just gonna see if I liked it and then was gonna decorate!
@idle shadow it's a really good start!! id like to see your finished product when you're done!!
ok! I’ll dm u a pic or ping u when I’m done!
@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.
Damn
that’s such a great scenery and thanks for the tip
Thats a beautiful entrance!
Thanks all! It’s the only thing I built in early game that I haven’t torn down yet lol
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!
@distant moat I like it a lot! I’m biased though because my island is “messy”/cluttered like this area of yours is lol. I like how you filled in space.
U guys can use maybe the outdoor bath or the cypress bath for ur spas!
@idle shadow oh SNAJJDNJ any ideas? my left side river opening to the sea is where i wanna do it but idk what to do....
This is my Island layout.
Tysm! I was afraid that the yard was a bit cluttered, tbh
@long crane wow! the amount of pathing is actually phenomenonal! may i ask how long it took to build your island?
Tryn to make more waterfalls but i need more space things tobplace
@sturdy moat i see your island is somewhat fairycore based? if it is, it's looks super good!!
O its supposed to be a Cute rainbow space theme island xD i guess fairycore does look like this with the color scheme. Thanks! :3
This is what rhe entrance looks like, it looks kinda diff now but almost 100% the same
i like the cutesy look to it!
Thx! Im tryin to figure out what other things i can add to the "neon glow" kinda "space look" to fill in more empty space
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! 
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.
Ooo ok thx! Ill look for some :3 i knew things were missing xD
What one sounds best?
Someone help her she's stuck
What can I do to make my campsite are look prettier?
@primal tide I'm sitting at 1150 hours 🙈 🙈 🙈
@primal tide I'm sitting at 1150 hours 🙈 🙈 🙈
@long crane woah! that's alot of hours!
That's alot of hours, wow!
Dannnng that's a lot
Ooo ok thx! Ill look for some :3 i knew things were missing xD
@sturdy moat np! whenever i decorate my island, i always make sure to have some custom designs ready so i just wanted to give a tip to someone else!
woah! ive actually thought about doing a rock garden but then again, ive only completed my marketplace and entrance so i need to plan everything else before i think too ahead
Oo thank u!
My rainbow garden
oh my god, the hybrids- it's such a beautiful garden!
Oo that’s really pretty!!
Thanks guys!
Ofc!
what makes me kind of cringe though is the shooting star in the back not being wished upon- 😭
It was supposed to set a mood hehe
Yea das what I thought it was gunna do! For me it sets the theme a little
ohhh, that makes a lot of sense now!
I need Japanese inspo
My old town 
Oo that’s cute!!
@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!
Thanks but unfortunately I’ve demolished everything and started my island as cottage core 😅😂
Ooo! I bet that’s cute too tho
My island looks like trash cuz I haven’t really started making look good
Haha thanks hopefully still trying to fit everything well and presentable. Ooh I’m sure it looks great
yours is probably still better then mine will probably ever be
@livid vessel goodluck on your cottagecore theme! im also trying to do cottagecore so i hope we both get good island results!
Tbh idk what I wanna do on my island :p I’m just doing it as I go
Thanks @primal tide hopefully I’ve started my entrance and some villagers houses but I still struggle to terraform those cliffs and waterfall😩
I agree terraformings harddd
Thanks @primal tide hopefully I’ve started my entrance and some villagers houses but I still struggle to terraform those cliffs and waterfall😩
@livid vessel omg same the struggle is real 😩
😂 yep
Ooh 👀 is there any pictures ?
I can get some
Hi! I'm working on the campiste itself but I dont know what to put on it
I already put leaves rock path and 1 or 2 furnitures
Need help pls
This is my nooks cranny
Ooh it’s cute 
omg cute!
Ty! Also sry the pics are bad :p
i can kind of see your island map in the corner and it looks really terraformed, wow!
Prob add some trees and some picnic baskets or even those campfire and log benches @nova geyser
This is my museum, I wanna move it slightly right:p
I got the trees and the campfire log but the pucnic baskets is a good idea ty@livid vessel
It’s not that terraformmed, there’s the entrance to redds ship
I’m really proud of that
I’ll show y’all
@sudden turtle omg I love it
Ahh omg that is really cute 
Aww ty!!
Your island is very vibrant I love it xD
Ty!
Was wondering what to do here..?
U could make a bench area, with flowers
Hmm a small reading area ?
anyone have a good living room layout?
@sudden turtle as the same idea👍
Think I’ll go with the bench area... thanks
Np!
@woven drift check #happy-home-designs
@topaz acorn you can also involve some cafe stuff!
Yeah good idea
@reef cobalt looks really good, love how the colors match:)
I did something like that its a bit bigger but it can help you@topaz acorn
@reef cobalt looks really good, love how the colors match:)
@idle shadow thanks!
@reef cobalt yeah its so cool!
@nova geyser thanks I’ll steal some ideas if you don’t mindXD
Np here are the ma for the leaves and more😉 @topaz acorn
@nova geyser I think there’s a black and gold popcorn machine that would fit better in that spot!
@vernal oxide oh I never got it tho ty for telling me
Found a new path design I love! Time to make new pathways throughout my ENTIRE ISLAND
😭
This one is so cute. But now I gotta erase and rebuild all my paths oooof
Island AFTER I tore down it ( still a wip )
I change themes everyday lol
the whole diana’s spa isn’t working out. any better ideas for her yard? ty
@reef cobalt i might be late but i love how your sitting area looks! the colours match and it's a nice variant!
@primal tartan i did a tea party kind of setting for her
@primal tartan I gave her a book/art store near the library I have.
@vernal oxide got one
hm okay guys ty
Hey guys! Can you give me some inspiration for a rock garden? 😄
Any ideas on that I should do here, I really have no clue
@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
@echo trout I think a library would look good there. There’s also a big list of ideas in the pinned section!
I made a little café area
still a wip but here is new area of my island
I have an area that’s 20x18. Do you think that’s big enough for a butterfly/statue garden?
@woven drift love the butterfly statue! That looks really pretty!
thank you !
Also could I get some inspirational images of butterfly/statue gardens?
@dire wren I have one
@dire wren (not mine found on Pinterest)
Could i get some thoughts on my new cottagecore area?
1 weeks progress of finally landscaping my island and redoing the paths & im really happy with how it’s turning out so far 🥺💖
@tight shuttle I would maybe switch out the bamboo lattice fence with the country fence! But I really love it looks super pretty!:)
Thoughts on this area?
Made an area for enjoying the firework
Can someone who has Raymond show me what they put in his house pls
1 or 2? 🤔
2
2
@tacit smelt like a picture inside his house? Or do you want yard inspo?
@vernal oxide inside his house cause idk how to decorate it because of his walls
Feel like my library is missing something
Hmm I would add another bookshelf
@tight shuttle maybe add a couple potted plants
really proud of my picnic area 🤗
Also could I get some inspirational images of butterfly/statue gardens?
@dire wren
@tight shuttle lamps (floor lamp, table lamp+side table), put a ladder or stool near the bookshelf
@hushed narwhal
@tight shoal looks awesome!
garden at the edge of the island!
@cloud narwhal giving me fairy fountain vibes
that’s just what I was thinking of as i was building it haha
lil cottagecore esc zen/bamboo garden in case anyone needs inspo :)
@dire wren
I finally recorded a tour of my island! Editing will take forever as it will be a special video to me as I wws part of another community and havent reached out for so long. Cant wait to show it off <3
Ooo nice!! Gl with the editing!!
Mehhh it's not an area that you guys seemed to like as it's very new and elementary but I'll be showing the entire island. Which includes nicer parts haha
Thanks a lot for the encouragement!
I- idk how i made that but i love it so much
That is beautiful ;)
Ty!
taken just before it started to rain
That is beautiful :0
Is my zen garden ok? Not sure if it’s over crowded or if it’s the right amount of items 🤔
@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?
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
decorated around able’s
@woven drift I think your island is super cute!! Let us know when u posted the video!!
does anyone have a similar airport/rs positioning to mine? if so i need some inspo haha
Aww the ables is super cute!!
if anyone has a cottagecore/fairycore island could i please see some inspo or let me know if you have any tips 🙂
@mild panther I do! I’ll try to find I picture cuz I’m not on my switch currently to show u what I did with it
@mild panther I do! I’ll try to find I picture cuz I’m not on my switch currently to show u what I did with it
@sudden turtle ok awesome tysm 🥺
My creepy greenhouse so far 😋
Okay don’t mind me but that’s my entrance, the pictures awful but I hope u like it
@polar tundra :0 I love it
@sudden turtle thats super cute!! do u have a pic of ur map by any chance?
Uhh I’ll try to find one! Like I said I’m not on my switch :p
ok np, thanks again
Lake Hylia/Fishing Pond
Oo das soooo cute! I love the woodland feeling!!
@mild panther I’ll dm u my map later if u what
@sudden turtle ok perfect
@woven drift I think your island is super cute!! Let us know when u posted the video!!
@sudden turtle thank you so much (finally using my laptop now, which allows me to ping even people whose name i cant type on my phone haha). I will do my best!
working on my campsite area! this one square is killing me though... anyone know if it can be filled?
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?
@open geyser you can’t unfortunately
ahh that’s too bad, thank you!
@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
it was already filled before I moved the campsite there 🙂 moving buildings erases paths but you can usually fill back around them
Lemme find a pic for you :)))
@open geyser something like this
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
@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
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...
@open geyser if you did only the blue side with the thinner path and avoided the red part?
@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
thanks all! I appreciate the help 😊
I just made the surrounding area really pretty and ignored it
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
@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
@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
@scenic blaze mod mothra
@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 💕
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
I don’t know what to do here
@tight shoal Tell me about it. I have about 75% of my island empty
does anyone have any cute date inspo? i’m making a date for me and my boyfriend:)
Sometimes I want to destroy everything and just rebuild a whole new island but never actually do it 😩
I wish dreams would save my current island forever so i could just do another full build
I have this little picnic area if that’s inspo
@sand night @tight shoal there’s a list of ideas in the pinned section if you haven’t checked those yet!
@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
I'm so glad it's you!!@ you or may! I support 100% as representatives of this channel!
@plain forge tempting, very tempting.
@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
Natalie do you want a pink Tupperware thermo picnic basket? Outdated pic but I can give it
Its "white"
@sand night why not just go to a few catalog parties for furniture?
so i have this empty space between Ables and Nooks and i need ideas if anyone would like to help!
@dire tapir What's a catalog party?
@untold plank i created a shoe store
@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.
@dire tapir I had no idea that was a thing
@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!
It's the free way. Otherwise you can pay for other catalog events
@plain forge same! I want to get a video of the island I have now to do something new 😩
@untold plank I also extended some other items out my shops to make this area. Just another idea
@dire tapir thank you!
@vernal oxide ooooo whatcha gonna do this time? 👀 I've been super into the gothic city/dark forest aesthetic since visiting some DAs~
@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 👀
Anyone have a cool Cedar tree layout with their house in the middle
@vernal oxide yess and I'mma visit your island via dream before you tear your place down!! Or send the vid when you're done 
anyone wanna share their layout/designs around the tailor shop?
I have a fish market 
Everything you need to catch those sea creatures 
@fiery geyser I put a sewing area and displayed clothes around Ables!
@vernal oxide so cute! yeah i love when people put out clothing displays around it
@fiery geyser i just linked mine above. I did a shoe store extension outside
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
How did y’all design your island did you flatten it
@onyx robin
If the rivers look funky just round the corners and try to not have sharp corners and turns
I regret not terraforming first...cause I’m now wasting bells to move buildings temporarily around until I make the cliff for them...
if you want room move houses to the beach for room to terraform
@onyx robin I honestly started from my entrance and worked my way out. Worked in small sections
I just worked on little areas at first
Any tips for laying thin, winding, natural looking paths that still show up on the map(the overlay method?)
anyone got some themed beaches?
Anyone have a enchanted/witchy themed around their outside house
@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?
@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!
@balmy dove I have a pastel starry beach theme with the zodiac constellations in the sand
@balmy dove @tidal cypress if no one is posting vids or pics you can always go to the search bar and type in images and search the location you're looking for!
@icy flint thank you! Im trying to process what this means haba
@tidal cypress I have this witchy area around the back of my villager's house with their turtle familiars guarding it
Hey guys, kinda need some advice. I want to do a heart pattern (with the water terraforming) around my resident area but I don’t know how to go about that. Anyone have any advice???
i remember there being a form on how to make moon, and heart and other sorts of pond designs but can't seem to find it, but i know some people use the happy island designer website to play around trying to make designs @pale tangle
50%done
found this online while trying to find the form
Anybody wanna visit?
@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> @pale tangle I just start drawing w/ the water tool pretty much, and keep looking at the map.
@toxic oar i need all the patience for sure 😂 but it’s my best bet thank you!!
@pale tangle If you want areally large land/water feature, use pixel art as a guide
@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!
@dusky solar omg I never noticed that!!! That’s really cute too.

Does anyone have any large garden areas I can look at? Trying to get inspired for my next project
looking for someone that wants to judge the little new parts of my island and would give tips :))
@twin birch for a flower garden mine is not that big, but I have the rainbow split in half by a cliff you can walk through
Just finished up my campsite, might add a few more items, and flowers.
My Garden Shop is almost complete! I’m likely going to change the interior at some point, maybe include seasonal items? The panel designs aren’t mine but any glass effect would work. Nice addition to my plaza area 🙂
Library is almost complete 🙂 shoutout to everyone in this channel whose ideas I used as inpiration. Any suggestions welcome 😊
I what do y’all think of my campsite and nooks cafe
I have no idea what to do with my island! Well I have some idea... I want it to be a fairy/star themed island... like a magical fairy forest all around. Im trying to start at the entrance. Any ideas on terraformed entrances that i also want to trade at?
Do u guys think I should put a house where the pool is or should I put it above the garden wagon
@rigid imp this is mine
https://twitter.com/brainseat/status/1292542660226424832?s=21 idk what to do in this area next to my town square 😖😖😖
@frank epoch I can only think of a diy area, small picnic area, a flower area, or like a museum ish area where u build some of the dinosaurs
@rigid imp Its not an entrace but i got this fairy/starry cliff face
@soft plaza thats soooo cute
@soft plaza did u make the moon urself?

@soft plaza that is beautiful!! see i have no creativity!! thats an awesome space... I want my whole island to be like that... with like trails between cliffs and secret gardens and waterfalls and glowy stuff and trees lol
@soft plaza thanks
but I want to have an epic entrance with like mush lamps and star stuff and a place for trading... and the rest of my island blocked by a river...
i have these ideas, i just cant bring them to life on my islnad!
are these nice? or should i use black imperial partitions instead of bamboo partitions
I’m going to make a spot for free recipes but I wanted to know if anyone has any pictures of area like that for inspiration
@rigid imp there is a website that lets u design ur island but u can’t place down furniture it’s for terraforming ideas, lmk if u want the website name
@drifting hearth I really like them! Maybe if take some pictures of both of them then choose!
alright i will, i just need to buy some first @sudden turtle
Oki!
@drifting hearth I think black will look better
@tacit smelt yes thatd be great!!
@rigid imp I get the struggle lmao
@sudden turtle its so hard! i have a picture in my head and i just cant create it!
tysm @tacit smelt
Do you guys think u I should put a house where the pool is or above the garden wagon?
@rigid imp ikrrrrr it’s torture
@tacit smelt above the garden wagon!
@rigid imp Kk thankssssss
Hmm above the garden wagon would be cute@tacit smelt
@sudden turtle Yh that was my original plan but then I was like 🤔🤔 thanks for the help
Ofc!!
I wanted to make a pool area so I downloaded some designs and then ordered a pool- and the pool doesn’t match the designnnnn
If anyone started of with this land and is now a 5 star island please dm me I need some inspiration and help with my island
does anyone have any space themed areas? 🥺
@sudden turtle have you try customizing it ? I think I’ve seen a dark version of that or maybe it’s a different pool
It’s from the nook mikes shop thingy so idk if u can costumize it
I can’t spell today lmao
Ah I see
@sudden turtle
Its a different pool, you can probably trade for it or something
I’m working on my villager neighborhood area. I have a natural/ fairy island theme. Any ideas/ suggestions for the layout?
Hmm neighbour area it really depends what do you want... like do you want personalized yards for villagers or maybe a clustered villager area @dire dome
Does anyone have a textile shop on their island? Or a shop in a villagers yard? I would very appreciate the inspirstion!
@dire dome Heres my small overgrown neighborhood
I bet you could add mushrooms and stuff on the sides and it would look nice
Here’s fauna’s yard for example I added some panels afterwards
@soft plaza aww it’s so cute!!
@soft plaza that looks great! I love the brick custom design path too
@dire dome These are the birck designs i used

They are so cute 😭 it pains me that you can’t access custom codes without Nintendo online...
@timid latch I started out with that island🥺 but mine looks completely different now. Part of my island is clearly incomplete but it’s still 5 stars 😊 I would say don’t be afraid to knock things down and start from scratch
Wait really!! They should let ppl without nintendo online access the design portal!
@lament monolith Oo your island looks really cute from the map!!
@sudden turtle aw thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Ofc!!!
Doesn’t feel right, anyone got some tips? 😂
@modern ridge put the tree and flowers on a cliff!
so itll block the RS since it looks a little strange when its so open
Does anyone have a textile shop or an in person etsy kind of shop on their island? I would love the inspiration!
Hey! Does anyone have any cute two-tiered campsites (preferably not cottagecore) i saw a specific one and now i cant find it again 😅
Okay I shall try, thank you @manic sigil
@modern ridge my resident service is right behind this so yes definitely try some cliffs!
Looking for cottage core entrances for my brother 😁
I adjusted the colors of the furniture in my little café 
@modern ridge very sort of hidden!
Alright I see @rare hull thank you
Made this for me and my girlfriend to watch the fireworks show :)
