what is this chat for? 🤔
tbh I used to want a blue airport but now I think the orange one suits the natural vibe of my island
Discussing layouts
I restarted mine. Had 700hr. Was hard to do it. But I feel this is better.(had a close town hall)
Gonna change everything soon~
That's commitment @smoky cove
My friend has let me hold my stuff and I'm getting it all this week
I’m really just re doing most of my island
Like the ones I made in the beginning most had a re do
I'm redoing every villagers' house
Abby how is your resident services all the way over there I thought it was always near the airport
I could never reastart my island ..i just got 5 stars yesterday..
This is my first themed garden for a villaher
I still have 2 stars and I unlocked terraforming before that
awww, thats so pretty, seal!!
@woven drift I got my 5 star like a month ago which was weird
Abby how is your resident services all the way over there I thought it was always near the airport
@tidal wyvern idk 😂 I think I just got lucky
yellow airpor is best imo
ITS MARSHAL SEAL
@woven drift i also wanted a challenge so I picked double south(people dont seem to like it). And I did aim for orange airport (reset the beginning several times to get right airport and rivers with town hall a good distance away
Aww nooo this is legit the worst area of my island @hollow hemlock
but it's so pretty, seal!! it really is!! i love the theme and placement of the statue and gate!!
That was actually how my default river look like
small flex but redds location for me is in the middle
I just dislike how narrow the sides are for double south rivers
@hollow hemlock thank you so much! Well may I show you the area I'm most proud of?? Maybe 2 areas?
@bitter inlet ikr
absolutely, seal!! go right on ahead! also i love the plants on the river too, even if i cant see em,,, ;u;
Redds lucky he got an area on my island 😡 He never comes here
@bitter inlet i have a double south river Layout and i love it.. at first i hated it but you can do some really cool stuff with it..
I honestly regret having my default river like that
I need some opinions! I’m going for a cottage core type theme and I need some tips
@woven drift I think alot dont like it cause they look at the natural appearance. But if you break it up and and small segments, it looks nice.
:o!!!! Yooooooooo!! seal those are gorgeous!!!! omg!!!
It’s just so satisfying to watch but I though it was hard to make
@hollow hemlock thank you SO much. I worked the hardest on those areas ;_____;
So hard!!!!!11111111
@woven drift question how may time did u actually redo your island?
and it shows!! i especially love the color coordination in the third area, the alternating panels,and the arrangement of flowers and bamboo!! it all looks so crisp and clean!
most designs use trees and I 😀d e s p i s e😀 them
@Hun its soo hard to get how it works but i feel like it pays of at the end... any type of natural type of islandes are hard to build
@woven drift but I never actually redid my island! Here's this animation if you wanna see it. I spent 1.1k hours. During which I changed many areas several times but I never redid!
is there a island visits channel??
@frigid nimbus maybe add a color ? like do white flowers + color of choice and add small piece of furniture that match, otherwise it looks nice !
@spiral cairn #690093605821480980 and #mysterybags-and-yardsales
@woven drift ur island really gives people motivation

I do have a picture of my layout before the huge change but it is really ugly hahaha
It DEMOTIVATES me but if it helps I wil share it
I don’t have motivation when I look at anyone’s island no offense
It help me because I’m alway lack on ideas
I feel like natural islands aren’t that difficult >_< not to sound arrogant. I think natural cliffs and areas are more forgiving because all the trees, shrubs, rocks, etc. will come together in the end, then tie it with a few waterfalls n cliffs around it.
@woven drift there’s a list of general ideas in the pinned section if you haven’t seen it yet and a friend and I made a little list for beach ideas as well if it ends up helping!
Honestly @bitter inlet I kinda agree... my islands theme is recreating ghibli movies and some of them are urban areas :’) it’s difficult to make transitions from one area to another
literally what can i do for doms yard my brain is empty
@woven drift @hollow hemlock so my island used to be totally shitty
@cursive smelt add some log furniture? Maybe add some rams within some barbed wire fence for funny points 😈
@rich tree I feel like stone arches are a good way to transition
@bitter inlet Oh yes stone arches are great! I just have a big wide open space as a gap between rural to urban areas which ill prolly have to cover up with shrubs and trees - it might look awkward but that’s okay :’)
could you throw in a waterfall?
I could! I’m just scared of the lag :’) I’ll take a picture of the area on my map for a better idea
@rich tree I dont think waterfalls cause as much lag as you think they do!!!
waterfalls lag more when they’re like gigantic
honestly, if i could just figure out how to post some of my WIP areas, i'm trying to make my island a lot more on the tropical/hawaiian vacation vibes, so i'd love to show some spots off and get advice,,,
How are you guys doing your neighborhoods I can’t figure out how to make mine look nice 😫
Oh they’ll lag cuz of the amount of panels I use :’)
For my super cluttered island only two areas caused lag! Only these two areas have been reported to lag
Rip to your fps lol
@hollow hemlock you could make a twitter account and share the link here or save the images/videos from there. or you could just take a picture or video with your phone~
This spa area drops fps lol but its totally worth it
My entrance doesnt lag though nor does this simple panel area
@woven drift I’m just a noob but how did you get the customization in your town square?!?
Ignore the random pathed structures on the bottom next to long thing (omg I suck at explaining) the yellow is a custom path... but basically that big purple circle is a big space that I might have to turn into the spirited away forest with zenibas house at the end
@silk ermine I'd love to answer that but what do you mean specifically?
Also it’s very flat because I tore my entire island down and am rebuilding it from scratch
Anybody got any good orchard areas i want an area to farm mats and fruits
First pic is my original layout ...second is me in my terraforming progress for an urban island..3. Is my almost finished 5 Star island
@rich tree so like the main road to the forest in front the tunnel?
or the forest they through to the sister’s house
@bitter inlet ya know I didn’t think of that! I was thinking more of zenibas home (the witch’s sister) but the other idea is actually quite clever
The town tho is kikis delivery service LOL
Hello is there an app to aid with island design? Or some kind of planner
@round cedar there's a website called happy island designer ~
The area infront of the space I’m talking about is this
@rich tree I’d say make an off path road somewhere with more trees along it. then it can slowly become more and more natural and the road kinda turns into a stone path in a forest
Oh thank you! Yes and I can avoid waterfalls :’)
does anyone has ideas for flower garden?
you could merge it with a garden shop? @maiden hedge
@maiden hedge like olive said you could merge it with a shop! Or turn into like a plant nursery as well 🙂
oh these are great ideas! tyvm :D
i’m redoing my island... for the 3rd time... can u guys send some natural residential areas? (where ur villagers live) 💕😙
How do you guys get over the RS being slightly off? i've restarted my game like 10 times and i'm legitimately thinking about doing it again because when i restarted last time, i thought it was lined up but it wasn't and layout-wise i'm struggling now because of my mistake and I feel like i can't make it look good. it's been grinding on my fun of playing because looks of things bother me personally, and i don't know how others make entrances look okay with weird resident service layouts
I hid my RS from view at the aiport to get around it being slightly offset.
i like that idea, it's just hard for me personally because im making a sort of flat area since it's a city
and i'm not sure how to incorperate cliffs into a city aesthetic
Anyone have inspiration for a small surf shack?
@upper egret you could surround your RS with cliffs and stack them with panels with a skyscraper pattern on them! Your RS could serve as a courtyard to an apartment complex and you can also hide the front of it the same way!
ooo! would you be able to draw that out somehow so i could see it how youre saying? i'm bad with non-visuals but i can show you my map
Does anyone have the sizings of those tiered living spaces?
Oh yes no problem! There’s actually a pattern code that shows kind of what I’m talking about 🙂
@upper egret my previous entrance (city) had a straight cliff and waterfall that blocked the entire RS, and now as I'm redoing my island I've fully embraced the slightly offset entrance (old wip video) It doesn't look bad imo~ my RS is offset by like 1 or 2 squares haha
@upper egret stacking them like this! Except the bottom would also be skyscrapers or hedges etc
You can still block the view with trees and tall stuff without cliffs
ahhhh that looks nice!!!
I think I've completed my entrance (for now)

Redoing my whole greenhouse ! Wish me luck lol
this is currently what ive tried doing but i could do those skyscrapers, that'd be cool
ignore the date lol
Finally came around to finishing my museum area
@fallow apex love all the fossil displays 
Ty i need an art area but art is so tedious to farm for
This section island is more of an European inspired town (kikis delivery service) but stacking panels is very useful
THAT’S HOW IT’S DONE
oh i love that baloo
@hexed sigil please share your island it’s beautiful I’ve heard
@rich tree not yet... soon
thank you baloo ill definitely use that idea though
I need witchycore photos please @hexed sigil
@fallow apex oof relatable, i had to dedicate like 3 days of going back and forth for Redd haha. But now when he visits I can chill
Sshhhhh bb not yet
@upper egret hey no problem! There are lots of great codes in the misc patterns channel! People have made beautiful 3D looking buildings ♥️
@plain forge yeah im off this weeekend so im probably just gonna dedicate my day of farming it.
i'll try it and update how it looks when i'm done! i'm glad im not the only one with RS issues and im glad i can make it work without it looking off to others
i just want it to look as aesthetically pleasing as i can 
@rich tree omg, the hedges between the stacked panels are so smart
!! I may be using some inspo for my medieval town square area
opinions? im not sure if i like it 🥺
@silk anchor looks lovely! If you have space for shell patterns try to add some!
@silk anchor I think it looks cute! But I like it might need moon furniture
I kind of want to restart my island, but I don’t wanna lose everything so I’d have to find someone willing to keep a few things
@upper egret I’m sure it’ll look great ✨ @plain forge yes! The blue iron fencing is also really good in between them 🙂
Hi! I'm redesigning my island (it never really was organized in the first place) but I'm not a great decorator and would love some advice to fill in the empty gaps! (and also maybe add more cliffs? Idk)
@zealous summit picnic area?
@rich tree I found an old photo
OMFG DUDE THATS BEAUTIFUL✨
it’s so perfect
I wish I had the patience to terraform intricate areas 🗿
Terraforming at its finest (jk terraforming is a curse)
I rlly hate terraforming
Never again... if I want to change it up I’d rather start ALL over than break all that down
Same tbh I have a lot of respect for people who do this!
Hi! This area is Marinas backyard. I am really struggling to come up with ideas. Have any suggestions?
@hexed sigil dream code when?
My new rivers i created
@fallow apex when it’s done!! Almost there dw
does anyone have any tips on paths? I honestly can’t figure out how to do it so it looks alright
@glad notch whats your theme
Do y'all think this rock garden will work or I need to change it a bit?
I’m trying to keep it nature themed
@maiden hedge I think it would look good!
Anyone have inspo for rock gardens? Like how to decorate them
Dang people have talent✨
This is what I have so far for my entrance
I need some ideas for orchard area
Good luck... I hear rock gardens are hard
Don’t you have one @hexed sigil
@rich tree maybe...
@fallow apex yea i am with you on that one
I honestly want to see someone make a trash island just covered in garbage aesthetic ✨
@hexed sigil what areas you missing
Paths took me a good two days for my island lol
Omg it’s so cool! There’s actually room to walk around for once!
The Apple trees
omg this place must look gorgeous in autumn!
This is my island map. Top right is the orchard area but idk what ima do with it yet. Got all my hyrbid flowers too
Nice map layout!!
I suck at terraforming though lol
Y’all got all these nice textures meanwhile mine lookin like booty
I use twitter to upload screenshots here
this is what ive done so far, harry potter theme
@molten swallow amazing lol see i cant do that terraforming
Thats the best i got lol
@fallow apex thank you so much! i think your map looks amazing! i usually watch others terraforming to learn
I wish customs path would show up my island map looks so empty
Yeah @rich tree same i used to have custome path but it drove me crazy how it looked on map so i went eith terracota. Matvhes my resort theme anyway
Omg resort theme?!? Dream code when
i need ideas for my entrance, i have 17 holes from my entrance to my rs
@rich tree almost done i need to fix my orchard and im making a bike scooter shop
I also have custom shops on my island haha
Oh my god cute! I’d love to explore it when you’re done 🙂
I might need to snag that code too 👀👀
Done my spa area last night. !ag gest though
Beautiful shot!
Anyone have anything i should change? The sand patches are my custom shops. and the one next to my museum is a Egypt exhibit.
Idk why the frames drop though they need to patch it
I am doing a 4 theme island
It’s all the little animations from decorations going off at the same time
The house on the left and right are my house house and wedding house
I made an university campus if someone wants inspirations 🥰
woah that looks amazing!
I cant wait to see how my island looks in the winter
@green bolt I love this but it’s reminding me I go back to school next month 💀
@green bolt thats soo cool i love the bathroom area weirdly enough 🤣
any idea what to do w this area?? need help or advice ty
Fill it with rare flowers or wait for a new building to come out 🤷♀️
You could build a lil post office
where do i start terraforming?
Or the giant fountain with flowers around it
If anyone wants I made a list of villagers that go well with certain island themes! DM me for the photo 💕
Decorated this little section today, pretty happy with it 😊
@echo rose do u ahve one for pink island theme?
small part of my harry potter island.. im not done yet, but i kinda like how it looks so far, im trying to make it more harry potter-y
where do i start terraforming?:villagercursedstare:
@steel geyser I find it easiest to start at the entrance, and most people do that as well ~
Hello guys here to give some guidance
my entrance! probaly gonna re-do it sometime but oh well
@molten swallow that cave is so cool, very creative. I don’t know much about harry potter but I think it looks super good
@astral rock thank you so much! the cave is an idea i saw on pinterest^^
@molten swallow I love the cave! Looks awesome 
I might put that in my island honestly
@steel geyser I agree. I started at the entrance and worked my way out!
What do yous think?

@astral rock What do you need help with?
Oh nothing at the moment, just wanna give some island tips
Oh my bad, I though -- never mind. I missread what you said lol
what could i add or remove in this area? i kinda like it all, but i want someone else’s perspective, also sorry i post a lot in this channel
@molten swallow theres someone that made a really cool Harry Potter island! I can try and find the yt video link before i go back into work if you want?
@vernal oxide Ohh yeah, ive watched nearly every harry potter island video on youtube, so its okay hahha🥰🥰
There’s a YouTuber named daldalto that’s crazy talented with their areas! They have lots of Harry potter videos
@molten swallow Don't even worry about posing all the time, your island looks awesome so go crazy XD. I'd post photos of mine all the time if I could get away with it lol
@bleak wind aww thank you so much!! id love to see many pictures of your island so post anytime!
I’m moving trees rn and god I have to always do this on Sundays... I wish we could eat a stack of fruit like we eat turnips!
@rich tree i have to re do my whole island
anybody have any ideas for a museum entrance?
this is what i came up with for doms yard, not sure how i feel abt it. thoughts on how to make it better?
still trynna breed blue flowers so gotta wait for them :/
@cursive smelt Maybe place similar items that he has in his house outside: brick oven, lawn mower...
Does anyone happen to have any outdoor crafting table station setup ideas? (Besides sticking crafting benches in residents yards)
@tardy pebble To be very honest with you i was thinking of making that for a while
@tardy pebble I have a few dotted around my island itself, mostly in the residential areas
I still need to find the iron shelves diy. Feel like it would look better in a crafting station than the orderable tool shelve
My idea was on one of my themed areas probably the sci-fi area, probably do a 6 X 12 or something like that and make it look like a robot factory or some sort and have it all diy benches
anyone have a cute girly entrance i can see?
HEY! New here 😅 has anyone ever thought of putting a wall around a city type island.? Like so walk alone the island and barrier.? 🤔🤷🏽♂️
@tardy pebble i hope that gave you some ideas
Any ideas on how i can split the river near RS to make it four islands?
My museum entrance (with another mammoth skull on the left)
@hallow void nicely done
@brave storm you can potentially have a cliff near the airport and have a waterfall running down from it and connecting to the river right above the RS. That'll give an illusion on the map that it's split into 4
How do you get the moon lol the full one and the 🌙
@plain forge sounds cool let me see if i can try to make it
@brave storm You could move a few of the houses near RS and split the river down the side of the plaza and back around so that it's on a small insland by itself 🙂
@trim finch I don’t think mine is cute and girly but this is what I did for my entrance!
I want to make my house area where I live with Stitches much more foresty. Not so much cottagecore, but like super overgrown and nature like. Anyone have any inspiration? Please help me out ~
Some inspiration for amusement park themes
@runic dagger first pic is the entrance to my museum and then I have two inclines on each side and it lead up to the second pic!
@bleak wind i could later on, my main goal for the moment is to create a four theme island. But they have a bridge connecting to each area of the island itself
@thorny dawn someone posted a few pics of their overgrown rainforest island before, I bet you can find some inspo if you use the search bar and type "in:#island-designs has:image overgrown"
Thank you! Lots of cool ideas there~
A butterfly lake, Flick please visit me more cause I still have other models I wanna commission.
HEY! New here 😅 has anyone ever thought of putting a wall around a city type island.? Like so walk alone the island and barrier.? 🤔🤷🏽♂️
@rotund cove not sure what you mean exactly; do you mean having a wall of cliffs around the beach and grass edge of all 4 sides of your island?
@fringe garden Ugh! I feel you. He doesn't visit often enough for me to execute my dream of filling my island with bug models! 😭
Made a little mock up just to get an idea for a Wall around the whole island. @plain forge
Is the floor to much? And does the brick wall look ok or should it be something else?!
How do you get the moon lol the full one and the 🌙
@haughty badge
Celeste diys
My island plan. All the sandy areas are custom shops. Grey is a road, and the sand next to the museum is a Egypt exhibit
and the island on the right corner is wedding island
Does anyone have any tips or inspiration for island entrances?
this is what i came up with for doms yard, not sure how i feel abt it. thoughts on how to make it better?
@cursive smelt late reply but this is what I did for dom's yard!
oh cute 🥺
@lunar cape you can see a lot of past posts if you type this into the search bar: in:island-layouts has:image entrance
@rotund cove ohh, I see! I've used simple panels and climbing boards as walls as well to "fence up" parts of my city island, usually to imitate buildings walls and such! It's a cool idea and your example looks pretty good~
Welcome to my island, I suggest you behave.
does anyone have any ideas for me to fill up some space?
@sullen hound theres a list of ideas in the pins!
Nevermind the map i sent, i am changing the fourth river so it goes to the left of the airport
My rock band
👏👏👏
eeee so ive been trying happy island designer and i just uploaded my map and marked off the corners, and the rough map i chose from their gallery doesn't match up so i made the opacity to 100 and now i cant see what im doing
what do i doooo
@austere nimbus tbh when I tried that site I just made my own map (they didn't even have map options at the time) and it's ok if it's not 100% correct, since it's just suppose to give you a general layout of things you want on your isalnd and when you actually do it, those details will change :> some people just use a green square and add their own peninsula, rivermouth locations, RS, and airport as that's the only thing you can't change!
@plain forge yeah the problem is that i have roughly 1/4 (bottom right corner) done and it's very detailed and i dont wanna redraw everything on there lmao
i guess i'll just try thank youu
Good luck, you got this 
for your particular situation, just adjust opacity to 50 then?
good luck! 
it's so trippy when you set the opacity anything higher then 80% lol, thanku guyss

sorry 
nah dw
Is the placing of my nooks, ables, and campsite weird?
Heres the new photo of the map
I need help.
@raw sorrel imo the shop positions are fine but the campsite is at an awkward location; you can try moving it to the beach or on the bottom middle area of the island?
@graceful hawk watcha need help with?
A theme for my island i actually just started ac not that long ago
Can I see anyone's museum exterior designs for some inspo please?
@raw sorrel imo the shop positions are fine but the campsite is at an awkward location; you can try moving it to the beach or on the bottom right area of the island?
@plain forge ill move it to the beach, thanx
@graceful hawk what theme are you going for?
@brave storm That looks really good 😄
I suck so bad at this game my autism probaly gets the best of my island cause its a hot mess.
I forgot to share the entrance area for the waterfall and river
@graceful hawk let's see.... Hmm are you into fantasy?
@brave storm depende
@graceful hawk Foresty themes are quite popular, if you're into that sort of thing
@graceful hawk we'll need some more info! colorwise, core, map look?
@austere nimbus core?
@brave storm cottagecore, fairycore etc if ur into that
@austere nimbus i actually am restarting i just started playing.
Cottage core to many straight people do it and its for lesbians.
@graceful hawk I'd suggest going to YouTube and look up some island tours to find inspiration for a theme and an idea of what elements you want on your own island 
@austere nimbus i don't understand what you mean. Can you please explain it in more detail?
@brave storm explain what?
@plain forge already did seen nothing.
@austere nimbus the cores
I want something im not gonna quit playing cause of it
@brave storm ah tbh i know literally nothing about them they're just really popular lmao
cottage core is For The Lesbians
Yep am i gay asf.
???
@cursive smelt im lesbian but nope cottage core will not work cause im bad at making my island pretty.
@brave storm "Core" refers to the central theme of the island. Cottagecore for example means a cottage theme, fairy core is a fairy theme, ect...
anyway i came here for a purpose someone pls tell me how to decorate octavians yard he has no theme other than Grumpy
Im just so stressed cause i have no ideas.
@cursive smelt red? maybe space stuff cus his house is that iirc
Does anyone have the cottagecore item list?
i don’t have space stuff :’(
Well, tours on YouTube encompass many themes done super well by players, but you can also hit up #dream-addresses🌜 to see what others who post there have done as well~ @graceful hawk
@austere owl barrel, clothesline, brown stuff
@cursive smelt Add space themed stuff to match his home interior
@austere owl
@bleak wind oh darn it i don't have a core! I was thinking of after everything is in place is making a cresent moon island
Ty!!!
I like the idea of cottage core but will need alot of help
what are some space themed things?? i don’t have anything like thay so i’ll have to go shopping on nookazon :’(
@brave storm I don't really have a theme either tbh, you're not alone 😄
@graceful hawk more desc/info please! there's so much cottagecore stuff
@bleak wind i am doing a fairy theme area for one thats why the right side is so massive
I have no damn ideas and im getting stressed no one is helping
@bleak wind so i guess you can say i have a core soon. A fairy core
hard to help someone who denies every idea
@graceful hawk we can't help you if you don't have any base/starting point
WELL I HAVE AUTISM AND I GET STRESSED EASY I HAVE NO IDEAS
bro chill
I JUST STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME..
@graceful hawk relax, i undeestand
@graceful hawk Go and check out pinteres and twitter, people post ideas on there all the time
Sorry im stressed...
anyway i came here for a purpose someone pls tell me how to decorate octavians yard he has no theme other than Grumpy
@cursive smelt bamboo area with garden rock and bamboo diy items goes well with his house ~
@graceful hawk no need to stress so early in the game! ideas and areas will develop over time
I cant have twitter or Pinterest my phone is very stupid
@graceful hawk it’s okay you can take as much time as you need some people take over 2k hours. I suggest just start a little area to decorate first rather than the whole island
@fringe garden i need a theme so it can match the name.
@fringe garden OR you can find items and diy recipes you may like and start making an area for them
@brave storm Possibly yes, havingpink yellow and white furniture and flowers helps with that theme
I just have no ideas cause i haven't really ever played a game like this
@bleak wind i was thinking purple in the mix too actually
@graceful hawk Honesty, you don't really NEED a theme at all if you don't want one
@graceful hawk ahh i see that explains everything
I want something easy that won't make me quit the game.
it's totally fine to just not have a theme but also have a consistent look yknow?
I heard it will make me cry
@graceful hawk think of it like a free style game where it's your own little world
i mean animal crossing isnt something to stress over if that happens u should take a break
It is very confusing
Many people I know haven’t figured out their theme until they had over 800+ hours on I played animal crossing over 600+ and just the beginning of the month I figured out my theme, it takes time but my best advice to give is to start to work on villager yards with the items you have and diys you have and as you get more items you can change them up
@graceful hawk have you tried looking up rainbow in the island layout search, and i think carnivals would fit a colorful island
I want to legit quit and never pkay
Got an empty space right here, what could I fit over here?
Oh! I didn't see this channel. I'm going for a witchy/cottagecore theme so if anyone could help me with that and recommend villagers with that theme please tell me!!
@icy flint it took me 365 hours to finally come up with my island structure
@graceful hawk if u really feel that way i mean u can take a really long break and see if u wanna go back
@austere owl maybe a band, or a lil picnic area? seems like the perfect size
@brave storm slow and steady wins the race, and @austere owl imo even tho it’s a small area maybe a picnic blanket or some garden benches with flowers for like an overview area
Oh! I didn't see this channel. I'm going for a witchy/cottagecore theme so if anyone could help me with that and recommend villagers with that theme please tell me!!
@edgy ingot Kiki is a great villager if your going for a witchy theme, Lionel has a good color scheme too
I've seen a lot of people with themes and also a lot without, but rather a general idea instead. Mine for example is foresty/natural looking but I wouldn't class it as a forest theme because there's random bits of furniture all over that don't really fit, but I like it because it's mine. Just do what you feel like.
Ive been thinking about switching my orchard and rock garden, rn my rock garden is directly behind my orchard and it just looks weird. But I just finished putting the rocks there not too long ago... So should I put all the mannequins back up?
@icy flint i followed some peoples ideas on what i should do and here i am making a four theme island
I forgot which page it was but prob the wiki it has the villagers and how their houses look like so you can just spend some time and look for certain villagers to see if they have that certain house exterior if that makes sense @edgy ingot
@brave storm What themes are you going for? Just curious 🙂
@fringe garden i kinda wanted to do a carnival
@brave storm just looking at pics and vids can go a long way imo that’s what I did with certain places until I figured out what I wanted to put or change
@edgy ingot my friend is doing the same themes as you, I'd say Kiki, Rodeo, Diana, Mathilda, Lucky, Muffy fit the witchy theme really well! For cottagecore a lot of people choose villagers with neutral/brown color palettes
@bleak wind well like i said probably a fair or an enchanted forest, umm idk the rest two are. The fourth area is the RS area
Diana bc white witch vibes
@icy flint i used to have a Zen area but i got rid of it and now tadah
@brave storm Well the enchanted forest idea is very cute anyway 😊
i finished my cementery area, the fireworks kill the creepy vibe but i still think that it turned out so cute 👉🏻👈🏻
@plain forge i am so adding Diana too my forest theme
@brave storm omg I’m literally debating on renovating my zen garden so I can have more custom slots for a swamp area since my theme is ruins/ abandoned
Should i do the carnival theme?
some good cottagecore villagers be molly, maple, june, coco, melba, fauna, erik etc
@icy flint i was gonna do an egypt theme area with Lucky and Ankha but those are the only two egypt characters so i scratched. I also made a desert theme casino but i demolished it
Should i do the carnival theme?
@graceful hawk If your comfortable with that, go ahead!
@graceful hawk Go for it! 😄
Can someone send me a list of studf
@graceful hawk. If you want to! It's your island! Do what makes you feel good and happy! 😁
Okay for the fairy/enchanted core what villagers am i looking for?
an area im not sure if i like or not..
I kinda want to make a arcade for it and all
What would be some good items for cottagecore/witch themes btw?
@brave storm hmm some good ones are diana and some of the ones i listed earlier 
@graceful hawk. Some of the nook items like the teacup rides? Stands to have prizes and those spinny color wheels? The arcade games?
Like send me a list of a carnvial Starter pack
@brave storm Squirell, deer and wolf villagers always fit well with that sort of thing
@graceful hawk idk you might have to look through the items and see what resonates with you 😅
@graceful hawk There's specific items that are actually arcade games so you're good to go on that front
I am straight up not having a good time, I cant find good items to decorate the outside of zells house with, I imagine him as the towns imported good dealer but its hard decorating his part of the mountain
Any name ideas
i absolutely despise my island name so choose a good one i really hope nintendo lets us change it at least once
@edgy ingot lots of stone diy items, the kettle pot diy that looks like a cauldren, lots of cedar trees, and custom stone patterns for texture on the grass! @graceful hawk I don't exactly have a carnival, but this area was my Santa Monica Pier replica and the items used in there are all common "carnival items" people use
i absolutely despise my island name so choose a good one i really hope nintendo lets us change it at least once
@austere nimbus Nintendo: No, suffer or reset
I need a cool island name
@austere owl 
I have restarted multiple times today
@graceful hawk honestly depends on what you want it to be called. any specific interests, colors, places or just names that sound cool?
Hopefully i dont get mad and restart.
im doing a carnival themed i like oldschool carnival stuff
Like oldschool 80s style is what im kinda going for.
I want to restart but at the same time I want to wait till fall and winter so I could get more cool items Cough cough mush furniture
@graceful hawk I regret what I named mine, so take plenty of time to really think about it
ah honestly try not to name ur island something too specific like carnival bc if u wanna change ur island theme later ur kinda stuck
I like old school lots of old school stuff i want to do like a 80s little carnvial and arcade.
"The Fair"
"Carnival"
"Funland"
Idk I'm not good at names 😅
The name of my town is just the Japanese pronunciation of astrid, Astrid was the name of my old town in New Leaf
1-10 island name: ice cream 
Lmao i restarted my world 30 times in a day cause i didn't get the fruit and grass pattern i wanted
Island names are kind arbitrary anyway since many people switch up themes multiple times. I wouldn't worry about naming it or restart just to change the name~
@edgy ingot Is there only one grass pattern?
my island name is an inside joke i have with my sister
What do you guys think of my library?
Iirc there are 3
@icy flint i was gonna do an egypt theme area with Lucky and Ankha but those are the only two egypt characters so i scratched. I also made a desert theme casino but i demolished it
@brave storm my b i was taking a shower but those are some cool ideas but with animal crossing it's build something and then demolish it for something better
My island name is lesbos lmao
I-
Like i want my island to be amazing.
@lime basin cute! maybe fill it a lil more? if u dont want it to be too cluttered while walking around maybe some floor items that u can walk over, ex. leaf pile, floor light
I am doing a old school carnival themed
You cant edit too much at the start so it might be a good idea to start and get settled before you plan
@edgy ingot That's brilliant 🤣
Arcade and stuff.
@edgy ingot That's brilliant 🤣
@bleak wind tyty
@austere nimbus Thanks! I’ll do that.
What is really old school in ac tho
Like the arcade games are the only thing i know
A quiet reading spot ♥️
AWWWWWW LILY BB
i feel like people barely have or give no love to ribbot lol
There's a "throwback" collection of items that are old school. Also the antique collection maybe? For old time vibes
@icy flint It seems that way about the robot villagers in general I find, sad stuff indeed
I want to make little leather jackets for my viliagers and all.
And skirts.
Who could make thoses and place them at my store when i get it tho
@bleak wind im planning on doing a swamp and ik ribbot is a robot but still a frog for a swamp at the end of the day haha
@icy flint He's just next level frog, it's fine 😂
@graceful hawk maybe going to #clothing-codes would have something like that for your villagers imo
I just love lily ♥️ I named my island after her too 🥰
Which layout.
@bleak wind i mean late at night i sometimes try to give a lore to my island which is a weird thing to do but i like lores behind things and ribbot can be one of the lores lmao
i need more than 8 inclines :((
Which layout
maybe top right it seems to be lined up to the airport
I posted it at top
@graceful hawk if you plan on doing some sort of grand entrance you need an RS thats far away
@icy flint Could be he's a mutant frog! 😲
@edgy ingot Is there only one grass pattern?
@narrow junco this link has info bout them https://bigfootmg.github.io/ACNH-Plant-Guide/
Oh shit i might have to restart again then
@bleak wind i mean the island isn't finished so that means the lore isn't finished so anything goes rn lmao
My viliagers are probably gonna be ugly
@graceful hawk On purpose, or?
No
i kinda love this place ngl
the cave idea i saw on pinterest, 2 simple panels with my design with a stone arch infront
usually you can get 1 that you like i got cube and tammi as my first and tammi just moved out and cube is too cute
@molten swallow looks great!
@bleak wind Just let your imagination run wild! I have backstories for all my villagers too, so it's all good lol
Ewwww
@molten swallow SSDKSJFKDFJ your island is so cool
Their both ugly
THE CAVE
might copy you with that arch and panel design
@molten swallow
I heard their was a Elvis viliager?
I would die to have him for my grandpa.
Where should i put the tents?
@graceful hawk Yeah, he's a cranky lion villager
beach, u can move them later where u want
Omfg i need him rn!!
you can always save up nmt for those dreamies usually you're first 10 will be bad with a few exemptions
What @icy flint said, don't worry so much about your villagers for now
Is their an app you can have where it lets you see all the viliagers and save them
For the ones you want
they have websites to look at villagers - don't know if they have an app tho
@graceful hawk https://villagerdb.com/villagers?game=nh
Browse our villager database to learn more about your favorite characters from all of the Animal Crossing games.
you can make a list and save villagers in that list
what flowers should i add around here?
@toxic sedge what's ur theme?
cottagecore 
@toxic sedge ah ok, maybe hyacinths and mums?
@toxic sedge Roses maybe
@toxic sedge i think green mums and white hyacinths/tulips if you’re going for a cottagecore aesthetic
ooh i just love white and pink mums and hyacinths 
is this the right chat to be showing off my island flag? or is there a better designated channel for that 
Here is fine i would imagine
If this ugly as rat villager doesnt leave my island in the next 3 time travels im gonna throw myself into the ocean
@edgy ingot Who is it?
Rodney
@still summit
I think I must be dumb because I cant see anything about grass patterns. ;~; I see info on weeds?
@edgy ingot oof good luck
rodney
throw that hamster in the ocean 🥰
I guess we both read your question as about weed lol
Rodney
@edgy ingot I feel you, He's on my island too, His personality is trash
nice! i made my flag for my island, mono, based off of my favorite album mono by rm from bts. heavily inspired by another design i saw
@edgy ingot I feel you, He's on my island too, His personality is trash
@austere owl i hate him so much he was in my campsite so i couldnt even just ignore him
@edgy ingot Oh god yeah, okay! He's...ugh...
I love my house entrance!
@marsh harness v cute! love how it matches the colors/atmosphere if your island too
looks pleasant meow
@marsh harness Aw, that's so cute! My flag doesn't match my island in any way lol
I want my island to be the embodiment of old victorian stuff mixed with some foresty witch nonsense
my flag doesn’t match my island
it’s sailor moon flag 
@woven drift super pretty, love the colors!
@toxic sedge My flag is a skull and crossbones, I don't even have a pirate theme!
Word cannot describe how in love I am with the Ranchu Goldfish bowl
thank you guys!! my island flag used to just be an image converted into pixel art of a kpop idol’s selfie 
Tysm! My island is a blue and white theme and I wanted it to look like a kingdom
actually all the goldfish have that bowl :>
actually all the goldfish have that bowl :>
@austere nimbus Time to go fishin with the boys
@austere owl haha good luckk
Pls help idk what to do here my island is fairycore themed pls help I am blocked lol
i don’t have any pond fish because i don’t have any ponds on my island. all waterfalls. what makes a piece of water a pond? i wanna try catching a koi fish or goldfish
@marsh harness this might help https://www.neoseeker.com/animal-crossing-new-horizons/guides/Terraforming_and_You
also - if you just want to catch those fish for the catalog / museum, it's an option to just catch on NMT islands, easier too
I have one pond
@marsh harness A pond is a small, individual body of water
I wish we could see what kind kf fish under the water tbh
I recreated the urban lights from Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) with a hint of tropicore- near my museum Entrance. (Pls tip mr tanuki, he’s a very good saxophonist! Lol)
Any ideas for furniture to put outside Apollos house
@arctic jungle any blue, white red stuff? maybe diner furniture?
does anyone have a diner on their island? i need inspo
Yeah i have a diner lemme get a pic
Pls help idk what to do here my island is fairycore themed pls help I am blocked lol
@amber trail make a plan on paper
fairy spa 😄
I wouldnt say its 100% done yet but i got a good idea of how it looks
@amber trail uhm do u have a more desc idea of what u want?
@molten swallow @cursive meteor tysm
The jukebox plays kk disco and kk rockabilly depending on how i feel
@austere nimbus what do you mean
@amber trail like a base idea. maybe a more foresty area, or a more developed area, but we can help better if we have a better idea of what u want 
Also gonna swap out the red counter table for a black one when i get another one in the mail tomorrow lol
i’ve been so unmotivated to redo my island since i changed my aesthetic, but it’s so hard to do anything with all my items laying around help 
@marsh harness oof if ur gonna change everything maybe just pick up all the furniture and get rid of all the paths 
@austere nimbus more magical foresty vibes this is my pathways u can come visit if u want
@amber trail aww thats cute, if it's a large area then maybe a pine forest with a secluded bear picnic spot? doesn't need to be that specific lol
Tysm!!! @austere nimbus
Can I see pics of anyone's tropical island?
@austere nimbus the thing is i cant pick up everything and store it elsewhere bc my inventory is full. i either have to sell all my items or clear my inventory which will both take a lot of effort and time and idk if im up for all of that. so my island has just been scattered items everywhere 
@marsh harness oh danggg hmm i think the best thing to do then is to make a new acc and store it all there?
My entrance with a flyover view. It used to be without the streetlamps and statues, and I’m happy that I listened to suggestions and added them. 😊
@fringe garden that is absolutely adorable
@fringe garden i usually don’t like waterfall entrances but i like what you did!!
@marsh harness Thank you! yeah it’s really loud lol, and when it’s a double waterfall it’s hard to get it into a picture
what i have for octavian so far, i’m gonna add a flying saucer if i gah freaking find one. any thoughts? i feel it looks too chaotic
people making the cutest yards for their villagers is just so adorable...
i dunno if that was directed at me but ty 🥺
Yard for Blanche 🥰
yes i said it because i saw you trying to make a cute yard for octavian, but most of the people always try to make their villagers yards the cutest way and i just find it hella cute
🎶 We’re going on a trip in our favorite pirate ship 🎶
i try to decorate it how i think they would so that they are happy 🥺
@lime drift that’s,,,,brilliant
just got chased out of the cave...
saw this idea on pinterest
2 simple panels, used my design
stone arch in front
does anyone have working hybrid flower garden? i need some inspo for mine :((
I’m bored. Anyone wanna play zombies on a island?
🎶 We’re going on a trip in our favorite pirate ship 🎶
@lime drift I immediately thought about the misadventures of flapjack
I found this on Pinterest and y’all.... are we playing the same game 🥴
@fringe garden I love the change. Your entrance is absolutely stunning
Ya'll is this ugly? I can't tell if this is ugly.
My take on castles
@lime drift damn are we playing the same game
😅
@warped umbra I don’t think so entirely. I would maybe switch the rock/pebble path with maybe some flowers instead though imo
Redoing my island 💕
idk how i feel about my entrance yet, could i get any suggestions? harry potter theme
i have no time so ping me if you have any suggestions lol, thank uu
@vernal oxide Thanks dude!
Started working on my entrance to hide the RS since it's offset, is it good? I'm 100% up for ideas
Game on!
I just got this idea, thoughts?
Maybe put the moon on the first tier and surround it with a pond
oo good idea, tyvm!
Working on that next blockbuster!
what should i put in this little area? i already have a cafe, post office, rock garden, gas station & pool. i don’t really have a theme for my island i just put things that look cool. i think i should put a graveyard but i’m not sure yet since it’ll look “emo” and stand out a lot. whar do you guys think?
@drifting hearth maybe a vegetable garden? there's a list of ideas in the pins that might help (:
ooh that’s cute
with the addition of the flying saucer how’s his yard look?
@woven drift sorry I just saw this message if you want I can send you a dream address my island is a mess though except for a few spots if you don’t mind.
Does anyone have ideas on which bridge to put here?
@flat tiger I think suspension would look good!
Does anyone have ideas on which bridge to put here?
@flat tiger Im getting rural vibes from this picture, Maybe cobblestone or wood
I’m thinking suspension too
ty guys! im honestly stuck between wooden, suspension, or log bridge?
@flat tiger do you want it to curve down, go straight or go up
@flat tiger My vote would be wooden, but any of them are good options
@lime drift i honestly dont know, im very indecisive lol
he enjoys it 🥺
Perspective changes with how the bridge goes @flat tiger
ty guys! im honestly stuck between wooden, suspension, or log bridge?
@flat tiger Wooden has that clean feel, Suspension gives a "This is temporary but it became permanent" And log gives a "Foresty" feel
There’s that too
@flat tiger I would play around with each. You can always order them from Nook and hit the “let’s see how it looks” option to see and decide for yourself! (You can always return each bridge if you don’t place it!)
Honesty each bridge gives a different vibe
@flat tiger Definitely suspension or wood! But I always do what @vernal oxide said!
wow guys i really appreciate all this input! ill try out the options first and see, didnt even consider the diff vibes they gave!
Can someone please help me? I wanna make a cozy treehouse but I have no idea what I'm doing. I dont think this cliff shape is good... Anyone have inspiration? Help would be appreciated:)
my new entrance 🌟
yo wtf is a lily of the valley plant it just grew by my house
@thorny dawn I think it would read better as a treehouse if you were able to put trees all around it on the 2nd level and then maybe some shrubs along the edges of the 3rd level? you would need quite a bit more space for the trees though, so it may not be feasible in that footprint
@thorny dawn I don't think the cliff shape is bad but if you want to make a treehouse you should add some trees and natural furniture!
@cursive smelt it grows randomly when you are 5 star! Congrats!
i’m not a five star—
Hello wonderful people here, does anyone have any suggestions on how to decorate this walkway to my museum? My aesthetic is cottagecore and natural
or i wasn’t last time i checked—
@cursive smelt if you grew one then you must be lol unless someone went to your island while visiting and planted it
@thorny dawn you may want to start on the 2nd tier, so you can have options to go up the tree house
@cursive smelt You have to be 5 star to get one but maybe you hit 5 star randomly?
Hello wonderful people here, does anyone have any suggestions on how to decorate this walkway to my museum? My aesthetic is cottagecore and natural
@woven drift Fossils! Flowers! Weeds! Rocks!
yeah, you could have possibly reached 5 star for a moment + then dropped down
Thank you, should I keep that wood floor? Or maybe use the games natural wood path..?
I picked up like 5 diys off the ground once and suddenly became 5 star so 😂
FIABDKSBEKDNDNS
@woven drift theres a list of ideas in the pinned section if you haven’t checked that out yet!
@austere owl I hadn’t thought of fossils! That’s so smart thank you
@woven drift you could use the tree stumps from cutting trees with amber on top as a type of ornament
@cursive smelt Yay! Congrats!
Sorry for taking so long
@cursive smelt congrats hun!
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
@brittle pulsar oh my goshhhh that’s so smart omfg
@thorny dawn I’m a fan of the games wood path plus it will save you design slots
Congrat!!
ty all 🥺 but i’m not even done w my villagers yards my work is not over
Should I put my house up here? The part at the beginning where I use my ladder I’m planning on putting a staircase! Any help is appreciated!!
I got my island to five stars ages ago but I want to do a two person island but I can’t find anyone...
@thorny dawn Both are good options but try out the in game wood path! You'll be able to use custom designs on it then if you come up with any ideas for your treehouse in the future~
@woven drift @brittle pulsar you actually can't place things on tree stumps (unless that was patched recently), but you could use the log stools or mush stools instead!
@woven drift maybe these will help!
@wispy tiger Yes! Perfect area for it~
Ah, sorry. I’m half asleep
@stuck trail oh really?? Good to know thank you!
@brittle pulsar I mean honestly it's a fantastic concept and I'm mad that we can't do that 😂
I ran into a giant fork in the road
@abstract kelp yay!! Thank you so much! I think I will also put a little garden by my house to fill the space too!
I saw a friend with something that looked similar and I don’t think they use cheats so i must’ve confused myself
@woven drift try looking at some islands through #dream-addresses🌜 or visit some in #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales for ideas for themes or layouts
@woven drift it’s not single idea it’s many different builds that co-exist with each other in harmony
Turtle island ❤️
That’s adorable
CUTE!
Love it!!!
@wispy tiger Cute idea! I'd love to see it when it's done!
I need help i feel like this is ugly
@abstract kelp thank you!! I will definitely update you when I finish!! 💕
For my fairy/enchanted forest area, i have 4 wolves. I want like one or two deers in the forest. Thats 6 villagers in that place. Like i am stuck
@reef pulsar try a waterfal on the left?
What should i do?
@reef pulsar I would definitely recommend some more trees and flowers! It looks good so far though!
@reef pulsar maybe some pathing underneath would help. you could put down some custom patterns as a rug running down the aisle as well. honestly it's not a bad start!
🗒️ ✏️ noted 
@woven drift You've been given ideas multiple times. @vernal oxide linked you to 2 big lists and told you to check out #dream-addresses🌜
Who’s got next?
Some ideas can be simple to cover some space
@reef pulsar you know how when you pick flowers (not with a shovel) and you can place them in a vase, try doing that to the side of the benches
@woven drift No problem~ they are very helpful though!
@lime drift more of the yellow and blue chairs?
@crystal cradle yes, on order
@lime drift I think adding some extra basketballs to the side and some benches would be nice! Also a water cooler if you have one of those~
Ty
What r something I can build to get a 5 star island
@woven drift honestly start off by placing building and getting a general idea of the layout and then decorating the villagers yards bc that’s all i have rn and it’s five stars apparently
@brittle pulsar i'll try to add some
thanks
@reef pulsar oh!! I’ve also seen someone place one of those ring boxes on a table behind the arch! Maybe you can have a little spot for that!
@reef pulsar If you have the diy, garden wagons always look beautiful in wedding areas!
What could I use to fill out this little space?
@plain pivot i think that there are a few too many knomes. Maybe space them out more?
@past dune A piano maybe?
@past dune you could put a 2x2 tabe
@past dune More seating! Maybe a piano or fireplace
I’m worried that my island won’t look very good in the different seasons, particularly winter! My island is mainly cottagecore, so is there anyone in winter that has a cottagecore island and can tell me how it looks?!
@plain pivot If you love gnomes then I think it's a cute design!
thoughts for this island between dom and octavian?
I’m not 100% sure if my island is cottagecore but it looks pretty alright in winter :0
Only thing that looks off/weird are all my custom flower designs
@wispy tiger
so,, i just finished these areas today, i started last night and i love how it came out 
(i never actually tried to make a farm-like area before, so this is a first!)
@past dune alright! Thank you so much!
@wispy tiger I don't have a cottagecore island but it's all about personal preference. I eventually time travelled out of winter because it was difficult for me to design things and love how things looked in the snow but I know others absolutely love the way the snow looks on their islands. I wouldn't be too worried about it since winter is inevitable but maybe trying to find some youtube videos will help? Or #dream-addresses🌜 so you can really get a good look at their islands!
so this my entrance, i love it but i need something else to put in place of the bamboo bench that isn’t a iron garden bench or normal garden bench, any ideas would be helpful
maybe a little stall with some tropical type items on it? @hollow gull
@cursive smelt that area is so big, so there are just so many possibilities! You could look at one of the big lists of ideas that people have posted on this channel maybe 🙂
@abstract kelp yes! I think may tour some islands that are in winter! Thank you so much for all of your help!!
@hollow gull I have a tropical island too, and the natural wood bench works really well with the asthetic!
@plain pivot maybe a zen garden? You got a zen bridge there
Hm...it would be really small though ;-;
the best things come in little packages :)))
can you show more of the surrounding
Sure
Help Me, I have no idea what to put here
It’s the last part of my island that I need to do so o want it to be precious...
dakota, a fountain maybe?
Here is my island but i wanted to figure out villagers for the enchanted/fairy forest. I don't want to over crowd the forest with villagers cause i am moving my house there. So how many wolves and deers should i put in?
you have really steady hands what?
What should I do with this area? 🥺 i already have a library and 2 diner/cafes so idk what this should be idk why i built it 😂
Is that a complement...?
yeah, lol. i was just surprised
So any ideas...?
Karr, maybe like a little gym area? @woven drift
@hazy tartan ohh that would be cool!
can be made a pass through park of plants bushes trees benches etc.
YES! @still summit
if you want to emphasize and connect up north alongside the river that part can be decorated along that idea too
well nvm it's not quite long enough up north
Well the only issue is that my house is on the plot above
And I plan on making a flower shop right off of the incline
@brave storm It depends how big your enchanted forest is going to be but I think maybe 2 of each or 2 deer and 1 wolf?
@abstract kelp if you look at the map again and look to the right, that massive piece of land IS the forest
Just looking for Raymond and coco
you do have quite a bit of land to the right of the triangle and well anything can go there
oh i got raymond yesterday lol
-_-
I see you have zen fences zen bridges and matsuri clothing on but not sure if that's the theme you are after
@brave storm Ahh okay! I think 2 of each is perfect then and you could ever add an extra wolf if it's not too crowded
Btw my map looks barren because 90% of my paths are custom that I haven’t stacked...;-;
@abstract kelp here's the thing, i have four wolves on that mountain in the top right corner there well there's four wolves on my island
can you move houses? or are they stuck where you put them forever?
no you can move them whenever you want if you have enough bells
ight
@brave storm Looking from your map I would say put all 4 wolves in the spaces you have in the enchanted forest. Then put your house on the lower part on the right and then make a nice path starting from the staircase to your and your villagers houses
@plain pivot if you can let's chat here, I'm more comfortable with not dm 👀 . also that way others can help too.
and for you question that's tier 2 isn't it,
@sharp jetty i might do 3 and 3 odds are better than evens
3 & 3 + your house will be one crowded forest fest tbh, besides 3+3 ends up even
Yes @still summit
Personally I would think that with a forest some spacing would really help as you can put a lot of items and trees inbetween. And I really think that 7 houses there would kinda disrupt the "walk through a forest feeling" altho 6 might work but then you would have a house directly in view of the staircase
oof im looking up swamp designs and they take up 14 slots lmao guess my zen garden needs to change to a dojo lmao
@sharp jetty or do 2 and 2 plus my house
@brave storm Yes that would be in my opinion a lot better🥰
So essentially that’s my tier two and three don’t mind the mess I was doing some gardening. Those areas are a serious WIP and I was wondering is anyone had any ideas. I was thinking about changing the location of the nook and cranny further back!
But my other areas are quite small so i might have to do 5 or 6
I'm trying to make a field of pinwheels , gotta do the raffle a ton of times..
I’m not sure if I should make it more Japanese oriented of forestry...
@plain pivot Make it both if you cant decide, have the lower part a japanese oriented city and upper part the forest with view on your city^^
It’s the last part of my island and I just don’t know what to do...
@brave storm Its really up to you, if you think that that is better than really go ahead😂 Its merely advice and you really dont have to take it🥰
I am thinking of a 3 way in to the forest
The nooks cranny definitively can use more space in front of them
It seems right now it’s already like you have forest theme in mind in the south part and Japanese town in tier2, that’s fine as it is
If you want you can maybe have the triangle area be used to transition from forestry to jp town
@plain pivot Take it bit by bit and take breaks if you dont have ideas, browse pinterest and look for some ideas to fill it in. Its quite a lot of land.
I dont know if the third tier near your nooks is needed, but maybe having the nooks on that part of land with some benches nearby the edge of the 2nd tier edge + a homey cafe would be an idea? The benches can be used to create an idea to sit down and watch the sea/sunset/dinosaur
Hm...I think i might move the nook and cranny to the very back and completely demolish the tier three.
But the question is what should I call it in front of the nook and cranny
Hey guys! Hope you are having a good day or night! Does anyone have good shopping district ideas. No markets or things like that please
What looks best paired with a grand horned hercules beetle outside museum?
- whale shark model
- arapaima model
- great white shark model
- oarfish model
many put garbage cans, vending machines, street lights / utility poles, boxes, chairs in front of nooks cranny for the jp town theme, or some fences too
does anyone have any villager yard/sizes that are big/yard inspo?
What about panels...?
@woven drift this is a collage of yards I’ve done for my villagers!
@still summit wind turbines? They are modern
@mortal scroll idk if this was what you were looking for, and I honestly dont remember where I downloaded it from but it looks very nice.
Ty!
@vernal oxide thats so creative
@woven drift only you can decorate on your island
sure but wouldn’t wind turbines so close to shopping district be kinda weird, like complaint of noise irl
This is my tiny resident area for my faves 🥺👉🏽👈🏽
Wind turbines...?
Doing my entrance. Do you guys have any floor lights not in the color in pink
im making stalls for redds marketplace i made a blacksmith area, food area, and some rare stuff in a stall any other ideas?
And if you want something more like pre-WWII feel you can use the paper lanterns for shop sign etc.
@icy flint LMAO THE NAME CHANGE
Wait nvm
@vernal oxide shh i added the question mark since its not confirmed lmao
@icy flint what about a stall or two for clothing like different armor sets
My shopping district/big residential area (WIP) any suggestions of items I should use for the shopping district?
@vernal oxide i already have a blacksmith area with some armor already 
Wow
@icy flint oops scratch that. What about just normal clothing? Or even like a weapons stand? Could display katanas or even the fishing rod stand. Sorry if these ideas suck lol
@dull arrow farmers market area, the ice cream/cotton candy? stand item, put clothing items and a "sale" sign in front of ables?
The upright locker turned back ways can be a good prop @dull arrow
@vernal oxide tbh that could work i can maybe get a katana stand and maybe make a simple panel that displays some weapons 
Oohh great ideas!! I'm going to do the sales on the cranny since I really like how my ables is rn
@icy flint that would be good! Maybe even a witchy themed stall with a plasma ball and the fortune telling set? Maybe have a simple panel design with potions? Or is that too offbrand for Redds marketplace?
@vernal oxide tbh that sounds better imo and not really since my islands theme is ruin/ abandoned so the lore can be back in the day where witches were still a thing lol, also i put some frugal dresses around to act like servers so i think that fits perfectly
@woven drift I tagged you in a whole list I posted. There’s so many ideas you can use from that
@icy flint where did this come from 
@icy flint oouuu I’m excited to see the end results!
@dull arrow here's a sign if you need one!
@scenic blaze okay here me out, i inspire to have an island like yours and i base off many places of my island off yours such as the ruins theme therefore pls make me your apprentice :3
Does anybody have some residential area ideas?
YAY!!!! its actually official!
@astral rock
@astral rock if you want to do a neighborhood maybe this can help you figure out a layout you might want!
oooh envy i've been looking for something like that! amazing!
@dull arrow here's a sign if you need one!
@upper egret tyy!!
anytime pxzzy!
does anyone have villagers area with water around? Can I see how it looks like?
There's some more villager neighborhood/house layout options in this image. Just as a loose reference for anyone who might be looking!
Hey does anyone have a little picnic area I can get some ideas off of?
idk how i wanna make mine but my theme is tropical
@jovial marlin
@stuck trail ooouuu another one?? I love it!
So, im doing my abbles, but i dont know if i should do pear with yellow/white colors or Peaches with pink/white color. Anyone has ideas for ables? :/
oops wrong chooch, i meant @viral whale
@stuck trail woah thanks! Been looking for the riverside idea
lmao cul de sac
@worn jay Peaches with pink/white would be better looking in my opinion, since it would match with ables pretty well!
Ah dang there’s another chooch, looks like I’m gonna have to fight them for the name
I am making a royal castle dining hall zone and I’m not sure which kind of tables to use. They have to be able to look good with two side by side
@astral rock my friend @twilit lintel has a tropical resort island theme and she spread her villagers out and gave them shops that they own!
wedding table
@stiff mulch the lecture hall tables are seamless next to each other. those might work.
or that
@vernal oxide that’s a pretty cool idea!
@upper egret Ty!
you're welcome~! anytime!
@still summit I thought about the wedding table but it didn’t really fit with the rest of the castle but @stuck trail I haven’t thought about that thanks I’ll try it out
@icy flint leave my woman alone
The waterfall between the forest and another themed area
i have not learned this lesson yet on how to deal with this situation
Lemme teach u, change your name 😋
never i got approval by the one and only
Everyone post campsite inspo
Okay babygirl
this isn't fair i just relocated it
guess I win her love then
when weeds are actually good for decoration: 👁️
I'll stop embarrassing her now, but theres my pretty campsite 🥺
campsite
@tidal wyvern weeds are the best decoration.... mothra taught me to love them and I will never look back
My campsite is boring behind Scoot and Pete’s house, I need to add more deco or arrange the trees around it 😂
Anyone have any neat nooks inspo? I’ve rummaged Pinterest so much I’ve lost my mind.
repost: f l a t 😀
sorry for the bad pic needa redo my pics now haha
I did that too!!! I've finally gotten to the point where I've let people on my island
@frail shale I don’t think I can call mine neat. It’s super basic.
How do i make a cresent moon island?
What can i place outside my Ables? Any suggestion on items? I did a "plaza" outside my Crannys but idk what to do with my ables 😦
@worn jay I did a sewing area outside of Ables!
hello what happened to everything
My discord is glitching
@fringe garden mine did too

Same my discord died, lol
Rip discord
oh so it’s not just me
Oh boy

Same, which is really annoying since I came on to discord just to look something up 😂
f in the chat 🤧
Yeah I couldn't heart react because it froze
All chat rooms missing 😭
this is off
@viral whale i thought it was me but no it's EVERYONE
Everyone stay calm 
brooo

i’m so upset right now

Wait what if you’re on mobile

Quit and open again
Mine is good
I was asking how do i make a cresent moon island?
Oh ok
oh thank god
Oh will the messages come back? Cuz the whole message history for this channel is wiped for me
@worn jay sewing machine, ironing set, kimono stand, other sewing related items, clothes and shoes displayed, flower wheelbarrow, ect
@rich tree message history is back, did you quit discord and reopen it?
@brave storm I'm having trouble posting images, but there's a simple guide to creating a crescent moon lake here https://i.pinimg.com/564x/fe/05/5c/fe055c77394f564a686a5d4be1a050eb.jpg
@vernal oxide @upper egret Ty! I think i'll do a mini sewing area or something like that
@scenic blaze not yet but I will soon thank you!
really just took some nice pictures of my island i cant post them rn
@stuck trail thank you cause i may think of making one and have a hop stone path go to it
@worn jay id send a pic if I could 😭 I can dm you a pic of what i did!
that'll work! you could also make a plant nursery next to it or an art area to add to the craft-yness of ables
or a mini outside clothes store!
Sure^^ When you can i would like to see it 😄
Awesome. Thanks!
@stuck trail that is a perfect moon for my island! THANK YOU
Phew thanks brea
hey guys don't freak out its a sunday lets just look at some fireworks (wanted to say this when everyone was panicking)
@worn jay yay! Okay. This is what I did with my Ables! I displayed clothes and made sitting areas with sewing equipment!
@vernal oxide now that’s what I call fresh ♥️
Oh, thats cool!
envy i was thinking of making a laundry place too, forgot what its called. i love outdoor laundry areas
ill check what items can i get to make it work
@upper egret hahaha well I hope it helps with inspo!
here's shep's beach house 🥺
it really does!
using @scenic blaze 's planks OBVIOUSLY
also took this forest area pic by accident but i like how it turned out
ugh i love the tiki torches. people dont use those as much as they should. makes a foresty area really stand out.
hard part is sometimes tryna make them show in a dense area but slept on imo
@woven drift there are tons of ideas in the pinned section in the top right! use the search bar if needed using keywords like "inspo" "ideas"
I don’t search them because I don’t have the money or materials to get them 😀
So, what do you all do with that 1x strip of cliff edge...
@tidal wyvern baby if you need help dm me!! I'd love to help you reach your goals
Will do, appreciate the offer
@paper burrow Lay down a strip of dirt path and put flowers?
finally updated my museum 😊
@paper burrow looks good but i suggest adding some flowers or bushes
wip 👀 korean pc/cyber cafe
Hrm... Maybe try some bushes... I had some flowers but didn't like it.
@paper burrow I usually fill them with bushes/flowers and sometimes some log stakes!
oh yeah a fence would look good there
If you don't want to use flowers I would suggest using bushes and nice fencing? something like bush - bush - fence - bush bush etc etc or any sort of pattern you like @paper burrow
@paper burrow Bushes, even 1 piece of fencing to break up the flowers and bushes looks really nice! I love adding height and depth to areas like stairs! Any bush in season is going to add color and depth in that area !!
@cobalt ice That's so beautiful!
I'll play some more lol. I think I was trying too much for "same color" it got boring and bad.
@abstract kelp thank you! i wasn’t happy w how my old one looked lol
@cobalt ice I'm glad you redesigned it then because that's seriously amazing! I'll be tearing mine down again soon. Museums are the hardest imo
@abstract kelp yes!!! i worked on my museum last lol i didn’t know what to do with it
does anyone have these that u could buy?! im trying every chat 😖
@royal crystal #redd-paintings-and-statues
@royal crystal you could also use nookazon. People are always selling those real and fake
Does anyone have any good flowers that I could put outside Sylvias house? I kind of try and have different flowers go to different villagers

Does anyone have any good flowers that I could put outside Sylvias house? I kind of try and have different flowers go to different villagers
@viral whale try doing purple and black, shes a purple kangaroo after all
oh ok thanks
@viral whale any flowers that pull out the details in her house will also be good!! for example if she has a red roof, accenting red flowers around would make it stand out :)!
Has anyone done a spirited away themed area on their island
@viral whale Her house has white accents so purple/white would be an amazing combo!
@vernal oxide Could you please tell me the name of the item that it's between the sewing machine and the ables? It looks cool 😮
@worn jay yea! It’s a loom!! I just found out recently you can custom design the cloth on it lol so I had made it blue!
I love looms~
yeah I try to put either flowers or an item I think fits with their personality
I felt dumb that I didn’t know you could custom design them 💀
Oh i saw it in another pic too and i was looking for sewing machines and didn't find it, Ty!
I chearch friends in Animal crossing....
I just reset my island, and I was looking for a good island to start over with. I wanted a centered resident services that is aligned with the airport. I got it after two hours! Still need to come up with a name for this place...
I feel you
everything truly looks better at golden hour 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
I restarted my island, i didn't like it even if i had it centered lol. Right now im enjoying my new island 😂
@raven granite soooo agree with this, but don't sleep on the 5AM beautiful colors either
i am proud of my airport being 6 spaces away
@red briar omg the music at 5 am is everything!!! i wish there was a way we could have a one song that plays at a specific time play throughout the day
omg SAMEEEEE
you wouldn’t catch me having any other song besides the one that plays at 5 am playing 24/7🥺
It's so calming and beautiful, gets the creative juices flowinnn
Music at 3am tho sounds funny 😂
y'all last night i found sherb on a mystery island and made him his own sherbet/ice cream stand and today i caught him sweeping outside....... can actually feel my heart explode from cuteness when i look at this..... 🥺
My newest map layout. Looks so good!
@dreamy river omg I might actually put him on the beach too!! 🥰
do it!!! i was terribly struck w inspo at like 2 am........ the adorable blue color of his house was vibing w me
I have this spot for my house and it’s like next to the airport and right in front of resident services, where should I move it all
@tidal wyvern i kind of like having my house in a central location (near rs and my shops) so i don't have to travel far when i first log on!
The reason i did a cresent island is because it's the dreams
Hey I have a space right next to Raymond’s house and Idk what to do with it. Would somebody be able to give me some ideas or maybe come over?
Where should I move it @dreamy river ?
@viral whale idk what you gave him for a yard or even if you did. But for Raymond I gave him an art/bookstore. Maybe you can do something similar or even a library by his house would be cute if you don’t have one already!
I want to thank yous for the ideas!
ah that’s a good idea, I was also thinking of possibly doing a flower garden since I have so many black tulips everywhere
they don’t stop growing
@tidal wyvern hmmm do you know what you're doing with your river placement yet? right now my house is chilling on my beach until i finish terraforming 😂 but otherwise maybe below your neighborhood between the nook's and museum? just an idea since you have more buildings on the left side!
