@viral whale a lot of my flowers I kept on my beach and as I needed them I took them off lol
@viral whale i have this really cute flower thing saved for villagers!
yeah I just kind of have huge flower patches all over the place
Flowers are good until you do a Rainbow flower garden lol
im using stone inclines for my town, but should i use stone bridges to match, or should i just go with a zen bridge?
@woven drift lots of flowers! Brought my island from 2 stars to 5 stars in ~3 hours from planting flowers and bushes
maybe one day, I do have a huge plot of land where idk what to put
The entire left side of my island is empty and I’m unsure of what to put there
Will be adding a big fossil in the back of the museum but tada! Tysm guys for your help!
@arctic nimbus i think the stone bridge
hmm ok, i think those will work^^
so wait does anyone know where I can find some normal fencing?

yeah I just found some stuffed away in my inventory
Its a diy from the nook miles awards
@viral whale You can buy fence diy recipes from the terminal in RS
@woven drift If you want people to come to your island, try #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales
@woven drift ok
I like dirt. I'm a fan(?
dirt
it’s small and not very good but I made Raymond a little Tulip garden. I’ll probably change it later
Any suggestions where to put my residential area? I want them in one place instead of scattered but having a hard time finding the right place ☹️
this is just how I do my island but I keep it In a straight line and go from there
@viral whale ohhh that looks nice. I can actually do the same layout on the left side since that’s pretty empty too. 🤔🤔 thanks for the idea!! 💕
Yeah just be careful with spacing or you’ll run out of room for your houses
@viral whale yeah that’s the main reason I haven’t done my museum as well or any other stuff coz I might actually run out. Also is that your natural island layout? Did you just work on it coz it looks really good.
no I tried to keep it as natural as possible
some of the river had to be moved for bridges and to make room for my orchard but I tried to do as little terraforming as possible to keep it looking natural
can i see peoples house layouts
I’m kinda mad that I missed the wedding event cause now I wanna set up a gay turtle wedding and I don’t have any of the wedding furniture
@tidal shuttle here’s my map layout if it helps!
man I wish I could have more villagers

Would it be silly to have Palm Tree lamps in a sci-fi electric type stuff area?
was gonna go with a gothic theme/foresty theme for my island and ended up making a chinese outdoor restaurant next to my shops because i could
Well when i seen the palm tree lamps it made me think of CTRNF track called Electron Avenue. And it had electric neon palm tree lights
Yeah that'd be awesome
Love the space pillow
samee
So i thought it'll be cool for the sci-fi area as road lights
@woven drift getting 5 stars won't be fast just take time with adding more trees and flowers and as you're getting more items you can get creative with certain areas for certain themes, and their are pinned messages with ideas for space by envy and bratty
hi is this where i can ask for some help on inspirations
@spring apex well what do you need help with exactly? and there are inspo pictures in the pinned messages with creative advice if that helps
Idk if I've showed my entrance or not so here it goes
im thinking of a japanese theme, but i dont want to completely flatten my island
I might also share my ables
@spring apex you dont necessarily have to flatten it first, depending on where you're at now you can just keep what you like and work from there
I think chase crossing has a Japanese themed island. Search for his YT and it might show up 🥰
@spring apex what i did is i just went with the concept of my island i didn't completely flatten it but i did terraform some original cliffs and so on my best advice is what with what your island offers ya
i had flatten it before, and then tried to re make it into a "natural" island
Oof yeah, that generally is a hit or miss lol it can be hard to recreate the fee l of natural generation
so now its kinda just a hand made "natrual" island which is kinda eh
right so i kinda want to just make a town idea instead of going with a natural island
@spring apex i recommend looking for yt videos then or search some islands that are a similar theme for some inspo
maybe not even a japanese theme but just a town theme
In that case, using an island planner def won't hurt, theyre typically super useful for people with more city esque islands
Like I wouldnt even worry too much about making the map overview look nice, id think of what i actually want to make and then go from there
how good the map overview look is more or less useless on its own, scenery needs space to look nice and most of that don't translate to the mini map
Maybe the entrance? It really depends, some people like to work from the back of the island then go forwards
that's why the 3d planner is more useful tbh
True
Has anyone got their villagers in a circle shape?
Nop :p
I would either start working from the entrance or planning the rivers and going from that
3d planner?
Yeah, its a site like the island designed but its 3d modeling instead of the map overview
oh
Better for planning what you actually want everything to look like in game
oh boy and im over whelmed haha
I got this awkward amount of space here, any ideas on what I can do? Please @ me if you do 😁
Maybe a picnic, or a Moon.
@errant monolith personally, I would fill it in with some trees and shrubs / nature. there's a list of ideas in the pins as well if you're looking to make it more of a special area - could do a picnic spot or fishing spot
should i just kinda add to what i have now?
cause i kinda just have a weird shaped layout
@solid mauve i don’t but here is a little layout guide someone shared earlier! I would plan it out by putting 4x4 dirt squares where you would want the houses!
judys yard+a star gazing area, feels too empty. any ideas on what i can add?
@cursive smelt trees, flowers, random furniture, log chairs, stuff like that
Can you move the Resident Services?
Nope ☹️
How do you flatten land?
Dang
Ino sucks big time
That makes life harder-
Well we can manage
How do you flatten land?
@ashen axle unlock terraforming after getting 3 stars, but i don’t recommend flattening your whole island unless you have a very clear image of what you want to do
judys finished yard!
I made a Santorini-like church and recorded the process if anyone wants inspo! https://youtu.be/chwUrOrDO9M

Can anyone give me furniture/decoration recommendations for a horror/Halloween themed island?
.t begging
Please don't ask for free things like bells, items, etc.
Is it possible to make a fake boat in the water? Im thinking about building a little island in the water and putting stuff on it to make it look like a boat. Has that been done before?
Helo! I need help, i have a big area of land and I don’t know what to do with it, pls dm me suggestions and stuff!!!
@brisk maple can I see a picture?
Ahhh okay
Its a really big rectangle of land, the paths are useless and can be moved
Maybe like a diner? Or a star gazing area or a playground
Oooh a diner would be super cool
Or even a cafe too!
Good garden peas!! Thanks so much you really gave me some good ideas, lol I don’t know why i didn’t think of those, thanks so much, do u know of any good cafe/diner floor patterns?
Yeah!!! I’ll dm you
I saw the ones in the pins but can some people send some more villager yard ideas? I wanna do one for tammy :)
@pliant cobalt others have made a few! If you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: boat “ you should see what others have posted!
i don't understand how i can go through over 200 stones on an area and be completely fine with this
Hello, I will open my Island if anybody wants something
@errant monolith I looked up Tammy and she wants to be a movie director. Maybe you can make her a little film area, or drive up movie area!
turtle barista
@tiny skiff use #mysterybags-and-yardsales !
@vernal oxide thank you!
@vernal oxide thx
so happy i got rid of tammy for tangy ngl lol
My old museum was really grand, but way too large and in the way of my other sections. But due to its dimensions I got annoyed of it, and I turned it into an abandoned dump 🥴
Mood
@fallow apex Love this!! I have a perfect open space on my island. Gonna copy this. Thanks for the inspo!!
Just got a dreamie, feeling good
So.. im on my 5th restart and named my island comet nova. What would be a cool theme? I've already done disney, greek, and fairy. The thing is when I get my island all done I wish I wouldve done it differently but moving everything and tearing things down is such a pain. And I can never get my houses to line up the way I want to.
Currently working on a haunted mansion/forest area on my island and would love some feedback/suggestions! The house isn't there yet, I plan on making another user on my Switch so I can have a layer house in the area next to the black roses

Did someone say HAUNTED!!!
I would like feed back on the juice bar at the end I started 28 days ago and would like to know how. Looks
GOT TWO TICKETS TO PARADIIIIISE^ (I'm sorry, I've seen The Office in full like 20 times and it's my favorite show so I had to do it)
Yes you understand
At night looks cool as fuck 😂
@polar badge I’ve watched the office so much
if you need help with some forest inspo lmao @polar badge
But for real tho would like feedback on what I posted
@pure thistle it looks good with the amount of space you have maybe add some bushes or some trees on the outside if possible or some flowers imo
So like a scenery behind the bar?
✨ My island is fun ✨
yes
Ok
hello! i know this is a weird island layout, but i wanted to include my pets in here 😔 which way should they be facing?
hello! i know this is a weird island layout, but i wanted to include my pets in here 😔 which way should they be facing?
@opaque stag The first one imo
😭 so a tie??
Either way it's a cute idea and I really love what you've done otherwise
aw thanks!
Ok I’ll do some pine trees behind the juice bar
if you need help with some forest inspo lmao @polar badge
@icy flint Thank you! I wish I had more space to make the forest a little bit more full, but I loved the idea of having Pietro in the forest with balloons everywhere
i need a third opinion for a tiebreaker 😖
The right one
First one
OMG
lmao
wow 2-2 now lmao
the right picture is the first one i did
Hello I’m a different person
and I say the right one
its been decided! thanks so much guys :D
Just finished my redds marketplace for now so enjoy 
If there was an animal crossing wizard game redd would be like some dealer In an abandoned hut that gives you your potion for low price
Wow such a throwback pic when I was working on my entrance. LMAO my map is also a throwback when I had the previous setup. Enjoy this gem. Goodnight everyone 
nighty night!
hello everyone 🥺 does anyone have a relatively full yard for freya?
or a yard for sherb? i’m probably getting him soon
@opaque stag sooo cuteee
I tried making a layout today. Does this look ok?
i love my little bee farm lmao 🥺
thank you! 🥰
I would appreciate some feedback on this cargo pier I made at the back of my island. What do you guys think? How can I improve it?
Was supposed to fix my wedding area but ended up fixing my graveyard instead
@molten swallow love the spooky eyes background!!
@tardy pebble thank you!🥰
I’m getting so hyped for Halloween, 😻
I would appreciate some feedback on this cargo pier I made at the back of my island. What do you guys think? How can I improve it?
@autumn pebble I think darker colored planks for the floor
Maybe add a work desk, toolbox, safety cone etc @autumn pebble
Island in process 🧡
Y’all think this looks good...
A what? :0
The asian looking lantern
👆
Ohhhh
Also there is a bird cage which could be better than bird house I think. I am not good at this stuff tho.
Yeah I don’t got that nor a recipe lol
Also there is a bird cage which could be better than bird house I think. I am not good at this stuff tho.
@hot hollow prob 😄 itll look better I’m not really sure
@autumn pebble I think darker colored planks for the floor
@limber ginkgo Good point. I’ll try to find one. Although, this color does blend kinda well with the ramp. Do you think it wouldn’t look too ugly if the ramp didn’t blend in with the color of the flooring?
Maybe add a work desk, toolbox, safety cone etc @autumn pebble
@hardy willow Hmm... That’s a good idea. Thanks 🙂
hi guys what should i do with lucky’s house?
on mine i put his house near a graveyard
@molten swallow did you make those custom designs for the eyes?
@tardy pebble yeah!
hi guys what should i do with lucky’s house?
@gaunt bison this is what I did! graveyard on the right side of the pond
OMG how cuteee!
tysm for the inspo :))
on mine i put his house near a graveyard
@reef pulsar can i see ? i’m interested in seeing how it turned out :))
Uuuuh
You cant actually see the house since i moved it but the graveyard looks like this
and i just put his house right next to it
@gaunt bison
dizzy and sherbs arcade! any ideas of what else to put? it looks a bit empty. i’m adding more simple panels in place of a wall, just waiting for someone to offer 10 black simple panels lol
thats such a nice idea! thank you :))
aww thanks
. but imo mine is a bit boring tho lol

@primal tartan if you already have a simple panel in your catalog, just order some and customize it to bleach
black*
i don’t have space in my custom designs for a plain black design 💔 also already ordered my 5 a day limit
that’s sad
i’ll wait to buy from someone it’s fine, tysm! any furniture ideas to put there? ty
Is this 'curb' too big? The dark dirts are planters where some flowers would be. Also what are some good furniture ideas to use for a posh city residential neighborhood. I have other areas where grimy or rusty things could go but this was like a clean area.
imo no. also that looks so awesome 
ty, is arched tile usually what people use for curb? I tried terracota and that wasn't that great.
@hot hollow I really like it! I love how open it is
ty, what about the off-side, it's easier to place buildings with their facade towards us but I couldn't figure out how to fill the side of the street that is facing away from the view. All the designs etc are temporary to see what it would look like btw.
@hot hollow I don't have much experience with city themes but for furniture, I think the iron garden set would be good to use for seating areas! or there's public benches~ I see you have snack machines which are really good for cities too. Maybe adding some telephone booths and steetlamps as well?
Not sure what to do with my secret beach should I open it up more Idk what kinda theme Im going for 😪
Lil outdoor alterations area
Ty, streetlamps were definitely going be put the in there @abstract kelp . Phone booths are are definitely a good idea, ty.
I just did not make curb for the side of street that’s not facing you
partly because I don’t have that much space but it’s kind of just okay to not have it since buildings already block the view
My curbs were not as wide as yours tho
Hey this is the base for my Japanese market any critiques?
I’ll show the finished product if there is one—^^
I have a question y'all, if i were to do a park what type of fencing should i do? NO OFFENSE but that is ugly.
it looks too cramped
There are plenty of people that love cramped and cluttered styles~ No need to call it ugly
ikr, you cant say «no offense» and then say something offensive, be constructive instead
It's just my personal opinion. ^ he said any critiques? How about this, It looks fine but it looks a little too cramped? Sorry for being harsh.
yikes
@plain pivot I like it a lot! What kind of market will it be? Food/Plant or a mix of everything?
@plain pivot are you gonna customize the stalls?
Nothing wrong with cramped. Right now it's very unfinished so it looks a bit messy. But I think filled in it will look very market like
its lookin’ good so far! cant wait to see the final result
I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm just very truthful with my critiques.
My only concern with something like this is the lag and pop in once filled up haha
@reef pulsar of course actually I’m planning on using a different Japanese style of painting!
this is probaly the only small area at my island i actually kinda like lol
@plain pivot I'd love to see it when it's done! That's the kind of market I'd like to create on my own island
Yays I’ll keep you all tuned
then its already good@plain pivot , imo it looks too plain but its just because you havent customized it. 
Hehe yes each stall will have a different pattern also does anyone have any cool patterns..?
Campsite? Idrk I'm bad at designing things :( first AC game :)
There are a bunch in #misc-pattern-codes @plain pivot
@pure dew I like it alot! But i feel theres more potential, maybe put down a wood path??
Ty @still summit good point, I'll see how the opposite side looks with just front facing houses. And yea I felt the curb was too big too.
fireworks lighting

anyone have a dinosaur themed cafe on their island?
When you think of a city island called Milky Way what areas do you guys think it has? I need more area ideas
hm I think it has a candy area
Maybe you can have an area where the flooring is like a chocolatey surprise, surround it with dark colors, and crescent moons @woven drift
@clever patio like all the cotton candy machines an such
Yes, that would be nice.
Popcorn machines too, maybe even an amusement theme like park area/ chillout spot?
Imma add you so I can keep talking yourself
Added @woven drift
could i get any tips or ideas for my entrance?
what theme are you going for? 🙂
harry potter lol
@molten swallow I honestly think your entrance is perfect
@abstract kelp aw thank you🥺
oh the briefcase is a nice touch haha. If you're looking for any changes, I would say I prefer the briefcase on the floor, then maybe a light source on that serving cart like an oil lamp
ohhh i love that idea!! im definitly gonna try that, thank you☺️
no worries! it already looks good anyway 
worked on a river area today 
nice 
Unlocked island editing!! Now i need help figuring out how to edit it properly, anyone know how?
And by that i mean what im supposed to edit cause i have no clue
@edgy ingot You can do a lot! You can use the shovel tools provided to you to make cliffs or destroy cliffs, the water shovel is used to create rivers/streams or take them away + you can make waterfalls
Am i able to change where the water goes into the ocean? Im not a fan of where the current ones are
@edgy ingot You can also use it to place down in game paths (you can buy them from the terminal in the resident services) or you can download custom designs and use those!
Anybody has some good path suggestions that would fit my museum area? I can’t seem to find a perfect one 😦
why is my island so tiny compared to others ugh
@edgy ingot Unfortunately that's something you can't do
Ah darn, can you just make them into ponds instead of streams?
@edgy ingot yeah, but it will look a bit odd
@urban garden Try #custom-design-help🎨 or #path-codes and you should be able to find something you like!
@urban garden Try #custom-design-help🎨 or #path-codes and you should be able to find something you like!
@abstract kelp alrighty thank you!
how do i make my museum more tropical and less boring/plain? <3
@reef pulsar the last part is the power lines and filling the stands...
Can i relocate the plaza
No lol
Wait what its in an awful spot
@plain pivot It looks really good so far!
@woeful ravine maybe you can make a museum sign?
wdym?
Does anyone have any junk around their island
what can i do for my island entrance? any references?
something like that pic? @woeful ravine
ooh okay!
How do i get the ables sisters shop?
Oh wow the first thing I would do is move my residents away from my entrance!
@edgy ingot If you have general questions about the game, #game-help-questions❓ is a good place to ask them in!
@plain pivot how do i do that?
@royal crystal go to your town plaza and talk to the nook
you should have the option when talking to nook @royal crystal
ok tysm!
but imo you should plan your island first, like where do you want to put the resident area, or where do you want to put the museum. so you dont go back and forth changing later like me 😩 @royal crystal
Mhm seriously plan it
ok! haha tysm guys
@woeful ravine I think adding a seating area would help fill up some space! either using bamboo benches or garden benches~
@abstract kelp do you have any junk on your island...?
@plain pivot I don't!
@plain pivot Maybe you can try #materials-and-tools ? I think that's where people trade junk~
I have a cramp in my foot while designing my island
@abstract kelp @plain pivot @royal crystal when you think of the name Milky Way as an island what do u think it will have?
@woven drift ooh i think of space! maybe a purple/blue theme with a lot of lights!
@royal crystal my island is called that and it’s a city themed island too
What kind of areas tho @royal crystal
@woven drift hmmm, maybe some stargazing or reading areas and a garden
@royal crystal ooooo tyyyy
ok! now what? 😟
@abstract kelp @plain pivot @reef pulsar i did that! now what
any suggestions?
Still needs some more things but it’s coming together y’all
@royal crystal now plan your island think of a theme and think about where you want your residents and land marks to be!
@plain pivot cherry blossom lanterns would fit in nicely with the market! 😊
@charred grove that’s truly unfortunate I don’t have any would you happen to have some...?
🏝 🌴
Cute
oo I’m always so happy to see pictures of other tropical islands here, I feel like I don’t see too many! 😍
@plain pivot I can make some for you!
@woven drift pwease...
oo I’m always so happy to see pictures of other tropical islands here, I feel like I don’t see too many! 😍
@woven drift![]()
![]()
i made some changes and i like it a lot more now!
this is my little tropical island 🥰
@woeful ravine Really good improvements!
My campsite, I just have to add more leaf piles and it's finished
Is there another arch that goes with wedding furniture at all?
@plain pivot i can craft you some if you have the materials? it's sadly not cherry blossom season anymore so i can't catch any 
Is there another arch that goes with wedding furniture at all?
@woven drift Maybe the shell arch
@abstract kelp thanks!
Any critiques...?
@woven drift @charred grove here is the finished product of my MARKET!
Tell me some of your likes and dislikes?
@plain pivot looking good! if you're planning to add some trees on the second level, try some bamboo 🙂 i'm assuming you're going for a japanese market?
it does, that's why I guessed it 😂
issa cute market @plain pivot !!!!
thanks! It kinda is unfortunate because I’ll never get my five star rating back because it’s “cluttered”
But I’ll add the bamboo
@plain pivot i also had a japanese market before i dismantled my island, and i had a shaved ice shop with the frozen treat set + shaved ice maker (if you're looking for items to put on the stalls)
Y-yes in fact I have a shaved ice stall, also whys you dismantle your island—;-;
@plain pivot the 'cluttered' part is only for dropped items (furniture leaves and such) and not placed items iirc!!!
@plain pivot just got bored of it after i finished
and fell into the cottagecore trap hahaha oops
;~;
Campsite area
on my way to hogsmeade
Oh wait wrong channel
@woven drift This channel is for sharing and discussing island layouts - you can use #acnh-chat⛱️ to discuss other things such as villager photos! 
Can someone help me please! I’ve moved my villager house but it’s a few squares out! Am I able to move it a few squares or will it not allow me because it’s the same area???!
@jade tulip you can't move it if it's a few squares off, it says that it's too close to the structure. you'd have to move it far away and try again
my house
@neon glen thank you! Would it not work if I swapped the villagers house ??
hey guys what are ur cute and functional flower breeding setups? :) just trying to figure out one that looks aesthetically pleasing
you can do a 5x1 setup for hybrids, and it's good to place beside paths...
Anyone got more villager yards besides the ones in da pins?
Setup behind my resident services, with identical twin entrances to my village area 😬
i just realized i use 6 incline and just 1 bridge for my island 💀 LOL
looked very cute
So cute Luna
Does anyone have able and nooks on the beach? I am planning to put them on the beach but I don't know what to put around them
@reef pulsar
https://tenor.com/view/ho-gif-4365374
uuuuh tell you what?
i just realized i use 6 incline and just 1 bridge for my island 💀 LOL
@reef pulsar this 🤣
@reef pulsar no. How did you use only 1 bridge for the entire island and just few incline coz I’m struggling to keep up with just 8. I feel like I need like 10 hahahahaha
advice/suggestions? need help specifically with entrance/airport ideas and map layout.
@faint arrow i use 4 incline just for museum 💀
its sideways sjjsjfjdjsj
Looks like this
@reef pulsar that’s a loooooot hahahahaha
@reef pulsar that sounds cool. I used two incline just for my ables and nook similar idea like in the entrance
Mini fair
@woven drift the residence area a bit far from the entrance so you can actually make a grand entrance with nice waterfalls. I’m not a fan of waterfalls so I did some alternative
Anybody have any nooks inspiration for me?
@faint arrow ill show you what it looked like
This my updated shops 😊😊
that looks cozyyy
originally had purple crescent white nova on opposing waterfall, was thinking of making some kind of bridge
Thanks!

but want to include mechanism where i can let people in and out of the island
THANK YOU
@woven drift I did fencing as my entry so if I’m doing trades and I don’t want people running around I can close off the fencing
@faint arrow do u have a dream code? I would love to visit:)
welp im gonna terraform AGAIN for the 12813818 time 💀 wish me luck bois
thanks yall~
Helloooo
Anyone have any ideas for what I could put here?
do you have any idea in mind? like a pier ? or a lighthouse perhaps?
Not really, I have my lighthouse in another area but maybe I'll move it
@idle shadow not yet coz it’s literally 1/8 part that’s done lol but I will definitely update once it’s all good for tours 😊😊
@faint arrow oh ok! Looks great so far
@violet forge lighthouse, cafe, picnic, stargazing spot, diving area!
@idle shadow thank youuuu

Oooo a cafe sounds coollll ahh tysm!
No problem!
whats the best flowers to use for a japanese themed island?
@mossy kernel Yellow/Red/White!
Do you know what type will look the best?
Tulips can be really nice too!
@mossy kernel Lilies and windflowers can work really well together~ This is from Baby Seal!
@sacred parrot Could I save your island image for some ideas towards my own?
@hot dome go for it!!
Tysm
I really love your paw print lake thing. I was so stressed out this morning about terraforming plans but you just gave me an amazing idea.
Anyone got Japanese island themed ideas/ inspo

I wanna change my residential area but have no idea 
@reef pulsar what does it look like now? and why do you want to change it?
@tight badge I got a little Japanese market..
Kinda like that, and cuz of bridges. I just realized i used 6 incline and 1 bridge lol @storm bluff
@topaz acorn i already have almost the same thing, thx anyway (:
is anyone okay with posting their houses spot, I need some inspiration
Yes pls i need inspiration too😩
@reef pulsar ohh i see! do you still want to keep them in a neighborhood or do you plan on spreading the houses across your map
I'm moving my house to the top right of the map on the 2nd tier cliffs so I can pretend to see all
does anybody have any tips? i tore down my entire island in like march/april and havent played since because i really regret it and didnt know where to start. I want to rebuild my island but need some pointers, where should I start from?
I spent 300k bells for 2 inclines for my houses spot and now I have to tear it down 😀
Kinda want to do half neighboorhood and half seperate @storm bluff
@north finch i suggest you start from the entrance point
, also welcome back!!
@reef pulsar from your map it looks like youre already on that track? top left neighborhood can stay the same and then you can build in the rest of your houses as you keep developing your island?
❤️ ty ty
@north finch yes definitely start with the entrance then work on every spot by itself. so after the entrance maybe in front of resident services, then a neighborhood, or whatever you want to do. stuff like that.
Tysm :WOW: I really love your paw print lake thing. I was so stressed out this morning about terraforming plans but you just gave me an amazing idea.
@hot dome glad I can be of inspiration!! :D
@storm bluff hmmm... I think im gonna keep it that way for a bit then to many ideas on my head lol 😂
@woven drift no island is terrible just go with a theme first! 
@sacred parrot you wouldn't happen to have like... instructions for that lake paw would you? 😅
Any Tips for a modern kind of island?
Hey guys! Can i see some shopping district ideas? I want to make them around the plaza
@spark peak i have a cute shopping area, i can send my dream code
How would I make this feel more tropical?
Anyone got some island ideas? My island is really bad and want to start working on it.
@worn zenith i would say less hardwood trees and a brighter path
@tidal ibex Cedar trees?
Yeah thats what i meant
Ok
@sacred parrot I never wanna see water again 😂
I finally made the paw print lake perfect
I need ideas for an entrance does anyone have any
@craggy pollen at the entrance you really want to make sure your visitors capture the feel and theme of your island, first impressions are everything
how can you make a good entrance area with not alot of money?
@torn kraken hike theme
@worn zenith my island feel has 4 different themed areas. My RS, sci-fi, Fairy/Enchanted Forest, and i don't know the last is gonna be
@brave storm ok?
@craggy pollen
@worn zenith i was just saying the moment you walk in.... Because i don't know what i should do for the entrance
@daring pasture Dream address is old
@wispy jay you got cherry!?!
Mhm, I have her amibo card too@brave storm
@wispy jay lucky! I want her on my island
Sadly i don't have her amiibo card so i would've. But I like how you did islands on your island
@brave storm thx, I wanted to change it up by alot😅
@wispy jay well you did change it up alot I'll give you that for sure
@brave storm I still need to add alot of furniture tho😅
@wispy jay hmm have you use flowers and trees on those islands?
@brave storm there growing atm, need to add fruit trees tho
I have everysingle fruit besides pears.... I planted them
So if you need any let me know
@brave storm it's fine, I had a orchard before I flattened my island, thx tho😁
@wispy jay np, i gotta do my orchard sometime but i don't know where to put it
@brave storm not enough space or to much space to work with?
Well i don't know where i should put the orchard in my 4 areas but idk. Then it depends on the space because i got a massive crowd of villagers and flowers in one area
Anyone made a yard for Sherb? I’m lost on what to do for his:/
just an fyi, in the dream suite visitors enter at the resident services so keep that in mind if you want to think about first impressions.
@storm bluff i kept that in mind
Nooks cranny!
I am just thinking on scenery for my two areas. What should i do for my fairy/Enchanted forest?
what you can do is put little circles of paths or random paths and put tiny flower designs on them:>
@arctic nimbus thanks for the idea
I not the best at explaining things so here’s some examples
Can anybody give me some ideas for this area? It’s next to my villagers homes so I was thinking ..... a little park but I need some help ☺️
@arctic nimbus i really like them! Thank you for the ideas and inspo!
@lost cargo how about a playground?
@lost cargo how about a playground?
@brave storm cute idea, but I already have a park quite close by
Anyone has a city-like island, with streets and stuff? I want to make one but I need to know where to start
@lost cargo you can make it a little dog park with the mom plushies and doghouses?
@lost cargo well if you have a park close by, do you have a gym? You could do a small gym right there
I love both of those ideas 😂now I can’t pick
@lost cargo you can do both! Do a small little dog park there and do a gym somewhere else if you have room?
I’ll try ☺️Tysm
need ideas for this small area
Train station?
@swift palm i love that area
Perhaps a garden wagon, looking like gardening was just done? 🤔
@swift palm v cute! id maybe put public benches and maybe a stall or tables with stacked magazines? kinda like a waiting area for the train (oops nvm lmao)
@silver sorrel hm well I already build a train stop to the left lol
O rip, maybe like a bike rental then?
I want to make a waterfall here but I can't climb there! any help?
So pretty! 🌈 😲 😍
@sleek lantern there is a height limit in the game so it depends if your on ground level or higher up
oh, thank you
so uh after hard work of clearing my island i am at a stand still. i thought that was the best way to do this but evidently not 😳
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EfoWaxtVoAEp46H?format=jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EfoWaxsU8AERJ5W?format=jpg&name=large
My entrance so far, will add more details soon. 🌺
Any ideas for my entrance?
any idea what i can do there then?
@sleek lantern it will tell you the height limit if it says it's too dangerous to climb higher. Or something similar
@bronze urchin start with one area and just build off from there, that's what I've done after i flattened my island
@bronze urchin i would say just focus on one area at a time, and dont move on to another area until that one is completed! also dont rush through things or it might get stressful, just take your time~
you have 3 levels to work with, you can build a 4th but you can't go up on top of it
@soft holly I've seen a lot of people surround the entrance with waterwalls but really depends the theme you want? Looking for something particular or just something to pizzaz it? 👁
I’m doing like a natural theme any ideas for that?
thank you! i started to kinda just randomly place areas and it doesn't look right when i try to connect it, so i'll for sure just try to take my time and build off of what i have. <3 so far i did my entrance and i really like it too
what I could put up here?
@soft holly here’s my entrance! i just have trees and cliffs, my island is pretty natural/foresty~
Oo
@sacred parrot you wouldn't happen to have like... instructions for that lake paw would you? 😅
@hot dome sorry!! I’m in class today lmao glad you got it figured out! I’ll make a tutorial one day lol
@soft holly Natural theme, that's kinda epic 😳.. perhaps like trees with pansies or roses? Doesnt matter the flower tbh
perhaps cliffs as well like the person showed you or maybe like a little pond with that too?? :0
@sleek lantern It could just be a cool hill/mountain peak
That would be cool! 
maybe flowers or it will be a lil messed up?
Anyone able to quickly pop over to my island to see how its going. I have been working on the lower area for a few days.
@sacred parrot Oops sorry, and thanks
You could probably find that duck decoy thing to help the entrance too so it'll have more natural feel
@soft holly
@soft holly For a natural theme lots of trees and flowers always helps, and natural looking furniture: wooden benches, fences dotted around, leaf piles on the ground, green orange and brown funiture...
Duck friends saying hi when you walk in :0..
@soft holly this is my entrance! 🥰 lots of trees and stuff to make it look more natural
Can anyone show me what a book shelf looks like when you place it backwards? I was wondering about that so i can use it as a partition or something
@arctic nimbus i don't have a pic but yes, it looks good as a partition and it has a lot of colors. heads up its i would say 1.5 tall
My entrance rn
I need to add some trees and stuff
Do orange hyacinths work for the flowers?
the biggest flex is having your airport and resident services lining up or them near to lining up 👁️
Mine do 
I’ll offer a dollar for your switch 😀

I might make my entrance first since my island is f l a t 😀
🤔 is it bad if it doesn't line up? doesn't that give you more space to do what you want?
It’s not bad if it doesn’t line up, some people prefer it to line up
Hopefully my pic helps with the forest theme idea haha
@neon glen na people like a straight entrance for a more developed island but if it's more forest-y having a not straight line is helpful
@soft holly Here's my entrance 🙂 it's nothing special, but 🤷🏻♀️
That’s cute!
just saying, but RS and airport lining up isn't a flex. It's like luck and forethought as to whether you happened to pick the right layout when you started. Much better to work out what you should do with what you're given imo
here’s my entrance, trying to make it cottage core themed, any suggestions?
Maybe some trees?
definitely some trees and all the relevant smaller connecters that go with them like wooden stakes and so on
Tyyy
e
Also some flowers would be good! 
Ooh yes!!
@vale pivot Maybe instead of the iron bench, add the public bench instead 🙂
Ooh! Tysm
idk if I shared this before
@paper turtle went:➖👄👁
😅
God is a witch in disguse, I knew it!
YAY I finally have a 5 star island but that’s because I’m trying to make a rock garden and I have mannequins scattered all over the place lol
Large pond made by me, plus naruto running 😆
does anyone know a blue themed entrance 👁️
I'm working on Marshal's area, it looks somewhat bland to me. Any ideas on what I could add or change?
I NEED BEACHSIDE CAFE/RESTARAUNT IDEAS!!!!
Add cedar trees and maybe bush fence
@tidal wyvern i feel like you can take inspiration from any entrance and just adjust the items/flowers/etc to be blue. my entrance has orange trees and orange flowers bc my island is called “orange” lmao
@sturdy ore add some floor lights or maybe a whirlpool bath 🤷
My new entrance! I’ll probably add some orange trees and some fencing when all the trees grow!
I thought about adding floor lights, so I'll do that now
@soft holly Those trees are sadly too close to the edges, they won't grow. Maybe try shrubs instead 🙂
It's lame, I know
Won't the orange trees turn into green trees anyway?
@sturdy ore yes but theyll have orange fruits on them~
Orange trees are the best trees
theyre my fave haha
Your island is amazing! 😭
Does anyone have one of those nature entrances with the diagonal bridge
@queen current here’s mine! It needs to be updated tho
Tysm
No problem 
@queen current if you type this into the search bar you can see a few examples in past posts: in: island-layouts has:image diagonal
Does this look like a Natural entrance?
Question for @woven drift, what filter is that? It's absolutely lovely and goes with your island very well!
Finally happy with my campsite ☺️
@bleak wind looks great! love all the colors
@soft holly the entrance looks good, but you should try to make the right side even!
Morning coffee in my Garden Center! 😻
@crimson robin looks great!!
@crimson robin LOL i love how kiki is fishing an entire story up
@storm bluff thanks! ❤️
@fathom grove right!! I also love that we are kind of matching.
dont know if i like this place or not
@molten swallow looks cute! on the top maybe put some lil floor patterns like leaves? idk looks kinda empty ig? other than that its very good! on the top means the cliff with that scarecrow thing haha
@austere nimbus i will! thank youu!
@molten swallow Is that supposed to be a vanishing cabinet?
@molten swallow maybe some purple flowers? or some candles~
When your island has five stars and the tier three isn’t even done yet—^^
@bleak wind idk to be honest haha, i just loved how it looked, needed it somewhere on my island!
@oak gazelle i will! thanks!
@molten swallow I'll just pretend it is, because that would be really cool 😆
I'm really bad at designing and I'm wondering if anyone can give me inspriation for a straight entrance for the town hall?
@crude wasp there’s a lot of things on reddit, Pinterest, and instagram!
Ok, I'll take a look at them
@crude wasp my RS isn’t straight but I have a straight entrance. I hope it helps!
lowkey wish they had blueberry trees or smth 👁️
@tidal wyvern blue hydrangeas work
this is from my island
ooh okay, do you know the design on the sign though?
ya i made it, i'll DM you my maker ID
@tidal wyvern The game used to have WAY more fruit, wish they would bring them all back 😭
F
F indeed
Here is a demo path for the sci-fi area i may change it up idk
Thats looks awesome!
I like getting other opinions so i know what path i should take. That's why i text and send pics often
@bleak wind i am now going to make a vanishing cabinet for my island because i love harry potter 😹 thanks for the idea
@lusty radish Oh, haha! No problem! I'm pretty obsessed with it lol
my island name is called azkaban but almost no one knows it’s from harry potter it gets me sad
WHAT? It's so iconic though!
i know right
Crazy
only my aunt knows where it’s from because she loves harry potter too but like when i tell my other family members there like 😳 what??
my entrance is lacking something idk
harry potter theme
omg i love it
@lusty radish That...is baffling
aw thanks
right like?? go educate yourself
I got a meh entrence lol
@lusty radish I find the same though to be honest , some of my friends are like WAH when I mention anything even remotely Harry Potter related. Uneducated fools 😒
harry potter is like my life
OMG ME TOO @bleak wind
@molten swallow i may not be a Harry Potter Nerd but i think it is a fantastic theme!
@brave storm thank you so much!🥰
i tell my one friend to read it and she’s like “i don’t like fantasy” like girl i didn’t think i was going to like hp because i don’t like fantasy but i fell in love @bleak wind
Thinking about using Octavian’s house at the ramen shop, only issue is will there be enough space?
I'm just trying to fix up the black in my path way design for my sci-fi area
It looks amazing
@lusty radish It's so much MORE than fantasy! Saddens me
GUYS I upgraded my rock zen garden!!!! Do you like it? Last pic is the original
WOW!
cute!! @woven drift
Wow
YAY!!!! I BASICALLY SOLVED THE ISSUE of it being too smol. ;___; I'm so happy
@woven drift looks 10x better
THANK YOU FRIENDS
right?? i don’t even know how many times i cried when i read it @bleak wind
I dont know what to do with my island
Can someone answer my ramen question...
I destroyed a 6x3 area but it was so worth it
@woven drift Girl, that looks AMAZING 
@bleak wind thank you ;__;
Which 1?
Getting those rocks in the right space is so annoying lol
@plain pivot i think there will be enough space & look cute
I like zen
^^
Same
@soft holly where are you putting the bridge?
Near my orange tree orchard
i think wooden then
Alright
Anybody got any good orchard areas ?
Or the brick bridge?
Where should I put the 3 house plots? I recently resetted.
Or the brick bridge?
yeah ill still go with wooden
Woah your new
who?
Oktey 
1800-dont care
Yeah I reset my island.
@silk gorge ayye i have that same layout
That’s the best layout
surprised no one talks about curved vs straight river mouths
@silk gorge doing a residential area? Where their all near each other or scattered?
Near, planning to do a neighborhood.
I like the natural star pond though.
Also the residents service is kinda centered to the airport
Wanna change up my island alot, anyone got some ideas for me?
Perfect :0
Maybe above the star pound for residential neighborhood? @silk gorge
@tardy pebble Thats smart! I’ll have to move my house a bit though.
@swift palm how about cursed heart shape arched river mouths? This killed the baby seal
@woven drift I have that same layout!
Oh map is outdated rn since I remodeled a lot but oh well heart remains the same xD
I have two different path ideas for my first area. Which one would look better?
Yay! I love the layout but I would have accepted any other layout haha
Haha same
I’m really excited to let the first 3 villagers move in since I got sherb, audie, and kiki
@brave storm yoj mean you tried to draw how you want your layout to be or?
@woven drift i am gonna do it how i go
Or are you using these as tiles? If the former, then omg that's so cool
3 stars as map layout is pretty damn cool
@woven drift basically paths
oh crap
I already have the lighting for this place set down all i need are the paths, and decoration
a river is blocking the placement of the plot
whats the shrub that looks best as a bush? (when it isnt in season)
I'm posting this on reddit. Wish me good luck
@woven drift it'll be good! So i am sticking with the star path?
@silk gorge whats the building youre trying to move?
oh it’s one of the first 3 plots you get
why is the plot so huge
changed my entrance just so slightly, why does it still feel empty on the left :’((
@silk gorge because they are the frst plots
when you need to gather the furniture and place it outside, thats the extra space
I'm thinking of flattening my island for a cottage core theme should I?
@molten swallow yo im diggin the foresty vibes
How does it look now?
like 80 percent of my island is path lol
also it might feel less empty if you replace the beehive with another tree or a bush or somethin
@molten swallow maybe more flowers and stuff, look up hp designs
I've been sent from garden science, what's one of the more optimal ways to plant my fruit trees?
for making an orchard?
yeah
@silk rose I did this for my orchard. So one space between them vertically and two spaces horizontally
Okay, I'll try that one out for a bit, see how I feel about it. Thank you!
I remade my mums little garden area from a tiny snicket to this
warp pad entrance because who needs a seaplane 🙊🙊
Anyone have any ideas for like an orange orchard?
@silk rose not mine, i dont have an orchard, but i personally like to place trees diagonaly so you can see the fruit when you shake it... hope it helps uwu
what could i put here? my theme is a urban sakura city btw
@steel geyser next to the telephone booth or behind the fence?
behind the fence
Im kinda stuck on more furniture to put here, any ideas? Or is it fine, I'm not sure. Ps dont pay attention to the time
maybe the toy train set?
@soft holly Definitely not mine but inspiration for an orange orchard
@woven drift maybe some block toys or ring toss toys? laying in the ground or in the table
and maybe some teddy bears or dolls, those are kind of colorful too
@oak gazelle thanks! Ill do what I can rn :)
@woven drift maybe adding the tea cup ride?
@woven drift maybe some springy ride ons!
I have the one in the fair area right next to it
@vernal oxide thanks but I already have 2, one just barely cropped out :)
Should i place the custom desing on top of a normal path or just as it is? I'm not sure...
I'm thinking of flattening my island for a cottage core theme should I?
@burnt pebble late but no—please do not—i did and i don’t recommend it at all unless you have a very clear image of what you want to do. it’s so hard to get going again that i stopped playing for like a month.
@worn jay if it’s not transparent custom paths then yes since the path underneath will show up on the map
how do people get a clear view of what they want for their island? i've flattened my island like four times and no matter WHAT i do it won't look the way i want it
I wanna do orchard but I don't think I have the space for that lol
lots of people use the island designer website or they plan it all out beforehand. it’s not impossible to just have a clear image but deciding where everything goes for a specific layout requires some planning me thinks
@west olive I’m not on my laptop rn but you can make orchard with 3 trees of each mine isn’t that much space but I feel like I made it work
oh... I think i'll do that, i have half of what i have done without normal path underneath and half with it.
@drifting light I always try to work on a part until I totally perfect it and am satisfied with it, then I will continue on another part close to it and perfection the way I want it to be connected before starting to work on that part of land^^
@icy flint yeah I can try with 3 trees each
Do it piece by piece, if you are not satisfied now you probs wont be satisfied later on with the result. Take your time and just stay patient, for some its a matter of a few hours and for some its a matter of days or week^^
@sharp jetty makes sense, but i have no idea where to start :(( i've tried starting with the resident services and entrance but i'm never happy with it
@west olive if you’re going for a natural island, i spread my “orchard” out! like having a group of apples somewhere, a group of oranges in another spot, so on so forth
@icy flint yo do you have a link to those overgrown stone paths?
Now THATS a good sci-fi area path!
Now I'm not sure if I should keep my updated area! Some have suggested I do the hotspring/onsen on the rock formations by the beach but they're too tiny. What do?
@drifting light I’ve redone my island a thousand times and I started at my entrance and worked my way out and I loved it. I planned out nothing and designed as I went
@graceful hawk if you like the carnival then you should
@west olive I’ll be on my laptop soon so I can send some pics, and @spiral vale I do not have it saved but it is a used path so if you save it and maybe ask in the code question channel they can help ya out
@drifting light I started with my entrance and I totally get the feeling of never been content with it. When you start you would probs not be content because you only finished 1 part and then you realize you still need to do this a 100 times more
ok ty!
You would look at the completed part with the sea of free land surrounding it, making it feel empty or boring
So to me the start was very difficult as I had no clue how to continue on. I just started working and working on it till I was satisfied. I broke down a lot of ideas, land etc and now Im totally satisfied after many hours @drifting light
Hey can you guys give me your opinion on something...?
@graceful hawk I would do something you really want to do. Look at 5 star island tours on yt or even look at some islands through #dream-addresses🌜 to get an idea of what you might like and light not like
Just stay patient and do what you like, you will be fine really🥰
Hey all! I’m about to work on Fauna’s yard for her house! I’m not sure what to do since I can’t get really a vibe for her, any ideas?
@trim trellis Small garden?^^
@graceful hawk you don’t have to do fencing. I used like no fencing on my island
@graceful hawk maybe what I’m about to show will give some inspiration....
shrubs and trees/flowers make for a good barrier if you don’t want fencing!
With our without dirt path? I'm a fan of dirt path but i'm not sure...
The dirt path looks great there! @worn jay !
@graceful hawk these are a couple different neighborhood layouts. Maybe you could do one of these! Or it’ll give inspo!
the HHA space items are good for that!
@trim trellis Thanks You! I think i'll do they sides too.
Im really attracted to a cheesy 80's back to the future type island but its way too ambitious for me
Does this flow well...? Also the ramen shop still needs panels and a couple of small details
Please critique it...
It’s your island so do what ever ya’want—
I warn you 80’s themes are kinda hard...
drive in theater
Mhm with the car beds
yes
Those school locker items and the electric guitars and some diner items could be a start
I feel like my market didn’t flow with the ramen shop...
any suggestions on what to add
@worn jay sorry for the ping but maybe use the dirt on all four sides and round the corners? u don't need to put flowers but i feel like it would tie in together. looks great!
Hence why I deleted the message—^^
lmao sorry i didn't see that u did
Awww I was gonna update my dream address but I accidentally added too many attachments and now I gotta wait 2 hours. I was so excited to share some new areas ;_;
Should I keep the blue wind flowers for put blue pansies there instead???
pansies
Hi guys. How are you displaying your phtoso?
The reason I am hesitant about pansies is because there are already some up on the cliff
@austere nimbus Haha np i'm looking for ideas for that area, i'm not completely satisfied with it. I'll try that.
@swift citrus by linking twitter or fb to one's nintendo account. And then downloading them from social media if thats what you mean. For more info you can google it or search this server
....No.
I mean your VILLAGER Photos. This would be the completely wrong section. For what it's worth that's silly as heck IMO I only got insta these days
Huh. Villager photos? I do that in my rooms, which also doesnt fit here
I don't want to show them in my room.
I currently have a stall sort of dealio going on and I was thinking of the cursed western stone idea
@swift citrus my villager photos are down the walk of fame. I've seen lots of people put them in cemetaries or around a sacrificial area as well ~
Okay this is the only villager photo I have on my island @swift citrus
@plain forge how did you do that with walls being outside?
@plain forge how did you do that with walls being outside?
@brave storm they're panels
that's really cool!
@brave storm - they used simple panels
@graceful hawk i think that if you go for the 80´s vibe you should super focus on the color palettes you are gonna use to create that retro feeling
@west olive here is my orchard looks better in person tho imo since i added some items in between them
I wouldn't even thought of doing that darn i should use panelz
The orchard is nice I just don't have the sapace ot make an ice one
If I replace the blue flowers with blue pansies... will it look bad because of the pansies on the cliff???
@burnt gorge no i think it would look fine, but if u really don't like it u can change it back
anyone know a construction area design?
Cute lil part of my orchard 🍊
any ideas for my entrance? its pretty plain
Maybe a bench or 2?
ok!
@royal crystal i imagine 2 cresent moon chairs looking at each other on top of each cliff uwu
oohhh ok!
Valiant statues
@icy flint maybe I will make it a bit tighter than that. I will figure it out lol
@icy flint thank you for the inspo
does anyone have any valiant statues i can buy in bells?
@royal crystal i think those are 3x3 so they wont fit in your cliffs
@royal crystal if you wanna buy any statues my best bet would be to go to nookazon or the #redd-paintings-and-statues
ok!
Valient is 2x2
why did no one tell me that if you tt back to april to get cherry blossoms, egg week still happens..
same times they were being held 
does anyone know a space themed entrance they could share?
@tidal wyvern not my pics~
My new entrance <3
Omg is this golden hour it's so orange woahhh
Which entrance is better? This is what it used to look like
The 3rd tier cliff had hedges instead of zen fences! (Not shown in old pic)
the newer one
Yay thank tou@! I only just discovered stone fences hehe
now what?
I waited 1200 hours or so until I downloaded the diy xD
@royal crystal you could probably scatter some nova lights (diy) and some backwards star clocks (diy)
hmmm.. ok!
does anyone have bathroom inspo (hhh sorry for spamming here ;-;)
@woven drift use #happy-home-designs ! If it’s an indoor bathroom lol
@royal crystal also floor lights, hyacinth lamps and potentially the frozen snowflake stand. Maybe even mush lamps! Any glow in the dark item!
why do i keep forgetting there is a channel for that?
@woven drift Totally prefer the new one. Your island is more on the Asian vibe right?^^
Any ideas of what I can put here? I had a bunch of trees but I thought it was boring
I might just terraform something, but I was curious about ur opinion 
@manic eagle Maybe a cute picnic nearby water surrounded by trees?^^
@sharp jetty actually you're right, I started off japanese and chinese and then I added random themes. Currently it's more asian than anything else! :) thank you
@manic eagle maybe a nice pond?
If you give me a good theme regarding what ideas you're looking for I'll try my best
I was also thinking about a pond! Maybe a pond and a picnic
Nobody is an idea generating machine here haha xD
anyone know a construction design thing, i need a construction area
What flowers would go well with the zen walls and bamboo
@woven drift Never expected stone fence + orange roses to give Asian vibesXD It looks really good!
Fossil or dig site for museum
@sharp jetty wow thank you!
@mossy kernel I believe lily of the valley are beautiful. Any lily really
anyone know like an agency or spy office kinda thing?
@mossy kernel Do you perhaps have a pic from what you have now or is it just an idea yet?^^
any dirt path diys? my theme is like an ancient greece thing with lots of flowers and statues!
@sharp jetty ill dm you a pic
Sure:D
@graceful hawk heya. Lots of neon colored glow in the dark items
Rn I'm making paths for my sci fi area
You need lava/rocket lamps @graceful hawk as well as floor lights
@mossy kernel this goes well with bamboo!
@graceful hawk floor lights (blue pink purple yellow etc.) / hyacinth lamps / lava lamps (many colours) / server / that round spherical light item, uhhh... it looks like a ball used in fortune telling/clairvoyant acts (anyone???l
Lockers and fridges turned around. Power/electrical cord items. Uhhh we are open signs!
Retro items. Thats all I can think of for now!
No. >:( I'm doing sth rn sorry
Just screenshot it haahaha
lol
@graceful hawk you can always go on sites like nookazon.com or nookplaza.net to browse through all the available items in the game. you can also make lists so you can keep track of what you need for your island
If Isabelle says that my island is a traffic hazard how can I fix that and what does it mean?!
A few low quality photos of my entrance/main area. Thoughts?
I’m real proud of it, Urban cottagecore 😅
@wispy tiger I think it means things are not accessible
Dont block off inclines bridges doors etc.
@woven drift alrighty thank you!!
@wispy tiger you might have areas where items are too clustered together that block inclines and bridges, and therefore will block pathways for your villagers to pass through. i just searched "animal crossing traffic hazard" on google and a few answers and threads pop up if you want to take a look for yourself
it has a sort of natural, classic animal crossing feel I love @midnight dawn
@storm bluff thank you so much!! I will definitely take a look at that!
@vagrant cosmos I wanted to go with a small town but in a big city type feel. Since I live in more natural place but with lots of urban things I decided to base my island off of it
How are my most recently updated areas guys? Any further improvement possible for these areas?
Hi! So I don’t know what to do with these circled areas of island and I kinda don’t really like my nooks where it is so If anyone has ideas where to put that and what to do with any of these spots that’s greatly appreciated! I’m doing a cottagecore theme.
My map btw, It’s not 100% done but I’m crazy proud of it. The map doesn’t do my island justice though since it looks kinda dull. Any ideas for the blank cliff? There’s a lot of empty space
hi i’m redesigning my entire island but i have no idea what to do if anyone’s bored id appreciate any help i can get :)
I have a space at the top of my island where I want to make a shooting star view but... I don’t know 1) how to start it 2) what the lay out should be. Send me some ideas PLEASE
Oh yes and thank you all to the ideas shared yesterday! Here's where Ive gotten so far, but I definitely need to add some more green and flowers around here to help it pop. (And a bench I actually like)
@woven drift This is mere advice and I dont know if Im even fit to say it knowing that your island is amazingXD
But the Japanese zen garden, the cliff behinds it might look better ny decorating it a bit more, also the space between the pagoda and the bench seems quite a lot so it creates a kind of empty feeling🙈
does anybody have Maple? if so, can you show me the yard you made her? ❤️
@sharp jetty I'm always told that I over decorate or love clutter too much and I'm always looking to decorate MORE. So I'm only super happy to hear this feedback
@frosty halo a lot of people build stargazing spots on the third tier so you can see the sky very clearly in the background! id also recommend searching this in the search bar to see a lot of great past examples: in: island-layouts has:image stargazing
@woven drift I know a lot of island that clutter, but you clutter at least in an organized way smhXD
Any suggestions for how I could decorate this space by my home?! There will be a staircase leading up to the second level and my island is cottagecore themed.
It seems busy but also creates the feeling of your island being very big, so I love your clutter
@storm bluff THANK YOU!!
So after about 1 to 3 hours at least of doing sci fi paths, I finally created all the path pieces. Here's the display
@sharp jetty ;-; I wish that one day you'll see my cough updated clutter. It's so much better now than days ago
I spent so much time destroying and rebuilding stuff. >:( gonna take a break for today and think of what else I can do tomorrow hmmm
@woven drift Meanwhile I cant clutter for life
I'll dm you my da address for whenever you get bored!
Thanks^^
Clutter is a lifestyle I have immense adhd and I'm always trying not to clutter actually
I think it looks good

hi all just wondering if anyone got any medieval town inspiration
@woven drift Meanwhile my island has an abundance of room... while I think but my lil sis insist notXD

What should I put in this area on my island? It’s right by my house.
Any opinions on my paths for the sci fi area?
@spring apex I have a medieval market if it helps with inspo 
holy pathing
What can i add to my crannys? I had a tree and some flowers in the center, but idk, i didnt like that...
i made a spin off of mothra marketplace if you wanna see as well haha
@worn jay Fortune Cookie stand?
ok, what do i do for my entrance? like the place next to me i want it to be an ancient greece theme!
I see u guys do your island until like that. I feel like my island damn plain
my island seems so small😭

Should i do a Big market in front of my crannys instead of just 4 stands? Idk

Right will work with more seasons unless you’re going exclusively winter
@molten swallow I get lost on my island 😅

Left nicer
@midnight dawn luckyy, my island feels 4x3 big
@midnight dawn I always got abit angry with my inclines..
Mine are pretty nice anyway..
So limited... Had to go ard to go up the ramp...
I use wooden stairs and natural ramps. And for bridges I use the log bridge
I mean I have a lot of bells sooo it’s pretty easy to get inclines of any kind
I used log incline and 1 blue metal incline, I rarely have bridges. I only got 2.
Dang I mix and match my inclines and bridges 👀👀
ive shared this quite a few times before but im kinda proud.. lol
I only do that when it feels right, I wanna keep it the same for times
I keep demolishing my cliffs and rebuild haha. I 'invested' in Resident Service
I love it when people have one type of bridge or incline! It looks great, my island is just more about sections so I have a lot of different inclines going on
Any ideas of what I should put here?
I use a log design as a mini bridge sometimes. It’s so cute
@soft holly you could literally put anything there
