@viral whale i had to sell a lot of my tulips and pansies!

vernal oxide
#

@viral whale a lot of my flowers I kept on my beach and as I needed them I took them off lol

dreamy river
#

@viral whale i have this really cute flower thing saved for villagers!

viral whale
#

yeah I just kind of have huge flower patches all over the place

worn jay
#

Flowers are good until you do a Rainbow flower garden lol

arctic nimbus
#

im using stone inclines for my town, but should i use stone bridges to match, or should i just go with a zen bridge?

gaunt bone
#

@woven drift lots of flowers! Brought my island from 2 stars to 5 stars in ~3 hours from planting flowers and bushes

viral whale
#

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

marsh heron
#

@arctic nimbus i think the stone bridge

arctic nimbus
#

hmm ok, i think those will work^^

viral whale
#

so wait does anyone know where I can find some normal fencing?

marsh heron
#

@viral whale like the one tom nook gives you?

#

.t islandrating @woven drift

ruby smeltBOT
viral whale
#

yeah I just found some stuffed away in my inventory

marsh heron
#

Its a diy from the nook miles awards

abstract kelp
#

@viral whale You can buy fence diy recipes from the terminal in RS

umbral wolf
#

@woven drift ok

gaunt bone
#

Dirt or no dirt under my roses

#

I can't decide lol

worn jay
#

I like dirt. I'm a fan(?

gray walrus
#

dirt

viral whale
#

it’s small and not very good but I made Raymond a little Tulip garden. I’ll probably change it later

faint arrow
#

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 ☹️

viral whale
#

this is just how I do my island but I keep it In a straight line and go from there

faint arrow
#

@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!! 💕

viral whale
#

Yeah just be careful with spacing or you’ll run out of room for your houses

faint arrow
#

@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.

viral whale
#

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

tidal shuttle
#

can i see peoples house layouts

livid dome
#

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

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?

sacred arrow
#

No

#

That'd be cool

twilit crater
#

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

brave storm
#

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

sacred arrow
#

Yeah that'd be awesome

viral whale
#

Love the space pillow

twilit crater
#

samee

brave storm
#

So i thought it'll be cool for the sci-fi area as road lights

icy flint
#

@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

spring apex
#

hi is this where i can ask for some help on inspirations

icy flint
#

@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

dull arrow
spring apex
#

im thinking of a japanese theme, but i dont want to completely flatten my island

dull arrow
#

I might also share my ables

thorny copper
#

@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

dull arrow
#

I think chase crossing has a Japanese themed island. Search for his YT and it might show up 🥰

icy flint
#

@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

spring apex
#

i had flatten it before, and then tried to re make it into a "natural" island

thorny copper
#

Oof yeah, that generally is a hit or miss lol it can be hard to recreate the fee l of natural generation

spring apex
#

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

icy flint
#

@spring apex i recommend looking for yt videos then or search some islands that are a similar theme for some inspo

spring apex
#

maybe not even a japanese theme but just a town theme

thorny copper
#

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

spring apex
#

yea, like i dont even know where to begin

#

i just know i wanna change my island

still summit
#

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

thorny copper
#

Maybe the entrance? It really depends, some people like to work from the back of the island then go forwards

still summit
#

that's why the 3d planner is more useful tbh

thorny copper
#

True

solid mauve
#

Has anyone got their villagers in a circle shape?

thorny copper
#

Nop :p

dull arrow
#

I would either start working from the entrance or planning the rivers and going from that

spring apex
#

3d planner?

still summit
thorny copper
#

Yeah, its a site like the island designed but its 3d modeling instead of the map overview

spring apex
#

oh

thorny copper
#

Better for planning what you actually want everything to look like in game

spring apex
#

oh boy and im over whelmed haha

errant monolith
worn jay
#

Maybe a picnic, or a Moon.

stuck trail
#

@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

spring apex
#

should i just kinda add to what i have now?

#

cause i kinda just have a weird shaped layout

vernal oxide
#

@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!

cursive smelt
#

judys yard+a star gazing area, feels too empty. any ideas on what i can add?

lusty radish
#

@cursive smelt trees, flowers, random furniture, log chairs, stuff like that

desert swallow
#

Can you move the Resident Services?

stiff mulch
#

Nope ☹️

ashen axle
#

How do you flatten land?

desert swallow
#

Dang

stiff mulch
#

Ino sucks big time

desert swallow
#

That makes life harder-

stiff mulch
#

Well we can manage

cursive smelt
#

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

plush epoch

#

Can anyone give me furniture/decoration recommendations for a horror/Halloween themed island?

#

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?

brisk maple
#

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!!!

woven drift
#

@brisk maple can I see a picture?

brisk maple
#

The paths can be moved

#

Sorry thats kinda bad pic, ill take a better one

woven drift
#

Ahhh okay

brisk maple
#

Its a really big rectangle of land, the paths are useless and can be moved

woven drift
#

Maybe like a diner? Or a star gazing area or a playground

brisk maple
#

Oooh a diner would be super cool

woven drift
#

Or even a cafe too!

brisk maple
#

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?

woven drift
#

Yeah!!! I’ll dm you

errant monolith
#

I saw the ones in the pins but can some people send some more villager yard ideas? I wanna do one for tammy :)

vernal oxide
#

@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!

icy flint
#

i don't understand how i can go through over 200 stones on an area and be completely fine with this

tiny skiff
#

Hello, I will open my Island if anybody wants something

vernal oxide
#

@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!

@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 🥴

@fallow apex Love this!! I have a perfect open space on my island. Gonna copy this. Thanks for the inspo!!

edgy ingot
#

Just got a dreamie, feeling good

mental rain
#

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

#

@polar badge I’ve watched the office so much

icy flint
pure thistle
#

But for real tho would like feedback on what I posted

icy flint
#

@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

pure thistle
#

So like a scenery behind the bar?

woven drift
icy flint
#

yes

pure thistle
#

Ok

opaque stag
icy flint
#

i love group pics in animal crossing lol

#

@opaque stag the right one imo

polar badge
#

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

opaque stag
#

😭 so a tie??

polar badge
#

Either way it's a cute idea and I really love what you've done otherwise

opaque stag
#

aw thanks!

pure thistle
#

Ok I’ll do some pine trees behind the juice bar

polar badge
#

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

opaque stag
#

i need a third opinion for a tiebreaker 😖

urban oxide
#

The right one

pure thistle

First one

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

@autumn pebble I think darker colored planks for the floor

Maybe add a work desk, toolbox, safety cone etc @autumn pebble

#

Ohhhh

Also there is a bird cage which could be better than bird house I think. I am not good at this stuff tho.

quaint oak
#

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
#

@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 🙂

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

and i just put his house right next to itreddstars

thats such a nice idea! thank you :))

#

aww thanks peanutwoweyes . 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*

primal tartan
#

i don’t have space in my custom designs for a plain black design 💔 also already ordered my 5 a day limit

cursive smelt
#

that’s sad

primal tartan
#

i’ll wait to buy from someone it’s fine, tysm! any furniture ideas to put there? ty

reef pulsar
#

hmmm maybe another game like a foosball table or dart?

hot hollow
#

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.

reef pulsar
#

imo no. also that looks so awesome peanutwoweyes

hot hollow
#

ty, is arched tile usually what people use for curb? I tried terracota and that wasn't that great.

abstract kelp
#

@hot hollow I really like it! I love how open it is

hot hollow
#

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.

abstract kelp
#

@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?

trail rapids
#

Not sure what to do with my secret beach should I open it up more Idk what kinda theme Im going for 😪

crisp depot
hot hollow
#

Ty, streetlamps were definitely going be put the in there @abstract kelp . Phone booths are are definitely a good idea, ty.

still summit
#

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

plain pivot
#

I’ll show the finished product if there is one—^^

clever patio
#

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

abstract kelp
#

There are plenty of people that love cramped and cluttered styles~ No need to call it ugly

molten swallow
#

ikr, you cant say «no offense» and then say something offensive, be constructive instead

clever patio
#

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.

molten swallow
#

yikes

abstract kelp
#

@plain pivot I like it a lot! What kind of market will it be? Food/Plant or a mix of everything?

plain pivot
#

Well it’s going to be a like a swap meet

#

So a random assortment of things!

reef pulsar
#

@plain pivot are you gonna customize the stalls?villagerthink

opaque pier
#

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

molten swallow
#

its lookin’ good so far! cant wait to see the final result

clever patio
#

I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm just very truthful with my critiques.

opaque pier
#

My only concern with something like this is the lag and pop in once filled up haha

plain pivot
#

@reef pulsar of course actually I’m planning on using a different Japanese style of painting!

molten swallow
#

this is probaly the only small area at my island i actually kinda like lol

abstract kelp
#

@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

plain pivot
#

Yays I’ll keep you all tuned

reef pulsar
#

then its already good@plain pivot , imo it looks too plain but its just because you havent customized it. isahearts

plain pivot
#

Hehe yes each stall will have a different pattern also does anyone have any cool patterns..?

pure dew
hot hollow
plain pivot
#

Ohh ok try and put some tress around it

#

Make it more natural

clever patio
#

@pure dew I like it alot! But i feel theres more potential, maybe put down a wood path??

hot hollow
#

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.

#

anyone have a dinosaur themed cafe on their island?

woven drift
#

When you think of a city island called Milky Way what areas do you guys think it has? I need more area ideas

clever patio
#

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

woven drift
#

@clever patio like all the cotton candy machines an such

clever patio
#

Yes, that would be nice.

#

Popcorn machines too, maybe even an amusement theme like park area/ chillout spot?

woven drift
#

Imma add you so I can keep talking yourself

@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

molten swallow
#

ohhh i love that idea!! im definitly gonna try that, thank you☺️

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

abstract kelp
#

@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

edgy ingot
#

Am i able to change where the water goes into the ocean? Im not a fan of where the current ones are

abstract kelp
#

@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!

urban garden
#

Anybody has some good path suggestions that would fit my museum area? I can’t seem to find a perfect one 😦

molten swallow
#

why is my island so tiny compared to others ugh

abstract kelp
#

@edgy ingot Unfortunately that's something you can't do

edgy ingot
#

Ah darn, can you just make them into ponds instead of streams?

molten swallow
#

@edgy ingot yeah, but it will look a bit odd

Here’s a little progress report of the market!

reef pulsar

that looks good

woeful ravine
#

how do i make my museum more tropical and less boring/plain? <3

plain pivot
#

@reef pulsar the last part is the power lines and filling the stands...

edgy ingot
#

Can i relocate the plaza

plain pivot
#

No lol

edgy ingot
#

Wait what its in an awful spot

abstract kelp
#

@plain pivot It looks really good so far!

@woeful ravine maybe you can make a museum sign?

something like that pic? @woeful ravine

How do i get the ables sisters shop?

plain pivot
#

Oh wow the first thing I would do is move my residents away from my entrance!

abstract kelp
royal crystal
#

@plain pivot how do i do that?

plain pivot
#

@royal crystal go to your town plaza and talk to the nook

reef pulsar
#

you should have the option when talking to nook @royal crystal

royal crystal
#

ok tysm!

reef pulsar
#

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

plain pivot
#

Mhm seriously plan it

royal crystal
#

ok! haha tysm guys

abstract kelp
#

@woeful ravine I think adding a seating area would help fill up some space! either using bamboo benches or garden benches~

plain pivot
#

@abstract kelp do you have any junk on your island...?

abstract kelp
#

@plain pivot I don't!

plain pivot
#

yo what’s ironic I always try and get rid of trash but now I need it!

#

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?

royal crystal
#

@woven drift ooh i think of space! maybe a purple/blue theme with a lot of lights!

woven drift
#

@royal crystal my island is called that and it’s a city themed island too

#

What kind of areas tho @royal crystal

royal crystal
#

@woven drift hmmm, maybe some stargazing or reading areas and a garden

woven drift
#

@royal crystal ooooo tyyyy

royal crystal
#

@abstract kelp @plain pivot @reef pulsar i did that! now what

#

any suggestions?

plain pivot
#

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!

charred grove
#

@plain pivot cherry blossom lanterns would fit in nicely with the market! 😊

#

@woven drift @charred grove here is the finished product of my MARKET!

#

Tell me some of your likes and dislikes?

woven drift
#

@plain pivot it’s so cute

plain pivot
#

You mean it...?

charred grove
#

@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?

plain pivot
#

@charred grove indeed I am!

#

Although does it look like a Japanese market...?

charred grove
#

it does, that's why I guessed it 😂

woven drift
#

issa cute market @plain pivot !!!!

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!!!

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???!

neon glen
#

@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

@reef pulsar that sounds cool. I used two incline just for my ables and nook similar idea like in the entrance

@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

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 pointvillagerthink, also welcome back!!

storm bluff
#

@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?

north finch
#

❤️ ty ty

lusty radish
#

@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.

@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

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😅

brave storm

@wispy jay well you did change it up alot I'll give you that for sure

wispy jay

@brave storm I still need to add alot of furniture tho😅

brave storm
#

@wispy jay hmm have you use flowers and trees on those islands?

wispy jay

@brave storm there growing atm, need to add fruit trees tho

brave storm

I have everysingle fruit besides pears.... I planted them

#

So if you need any let me know

wispy jay
#

@brave storm it's fine, I had a orchard before I flattened my island, thx tho😁

brave storm
#

@wispy jay np, i gotta do my orchard sometime but i don't know where to put it

wispy jay
#

@brave storm not enough space or to much space to work with?

brave storm
#

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

soft holly

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:>

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?

brave storm
#

@lost cargo well if you have a park close by, do you have a gym? You could do a small gym right there

lost cargo
#

I love both of those ideas 😂now I can’t pick

brave storm

@lost cargo you can do both! Do a small little dog park there and do a gym somewhere else if you have room?

any idea what i can do there then?

brave storm
#

@sleek lantern it will tell you the height limit if it says it's too dangerous to climb higher. Or something similar

silver sorrel
#

@bronze urchin start with one area and just build off from there, that's what I've done after i flattened my island

storm bluff
#

@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~

night fjord
#

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? 👁

soft holly

I’m doing like a natural theme any ideas for that?

bronze urchin

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

@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

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...

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 👁️

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?

tidal wyvern
#

It’s not bad if it doesn’t line up, some people prefer it to line up

@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

bleak wind

#

That’s cute!

night fjord
#

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

@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

tidal pilot
#

@sturdy ore add some floor lights or maybe a whirlpool bath 🤷

soft holly
#

My new entrance! I’ll probably add some orange trees and some fencing when all the trees grow!

sturdy ore

I thought about adding floor lights, so I'll do that now

bleak wind

@soft holly Those trees are sadly too close to the edges, they won't grow. Maybe try shrubs instead 🙂

Alright!

I might leave them just for deco tho

It's lame, I know

Won't the orange trees turn into green trees anyway?

@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!

Should i place the custom desing on top of a normal path or just as it is? I'm not sure...

cursive smelt
#

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.

icy flint
#

@worn jay if it’s not transparent custom paths then yes since the path underneath will show up on the map

drifting light
#

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

west olive
#

I wanna do orchard but I don't think I have the space for that lol

cursive smelt
#

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

icy flint
#

@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

worn jay
#

oh... I think i'll do that, i have half of what i have done without normal path underneath and half with it.

sharp jetty
#

@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^^

west olive
#

@icy flint yeah I can try with 3 trees each

sharp jetty
#

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^^

drifting light
#

@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

cursive smelt
#

@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 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?

vernal oxide
#

@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

brave storm
#

@graceful hawk if you like the carnival then you should

icy flint
#

@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

sharp jetty
#

@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

spiral vale
#

ok ty!

sharp jetty
#

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

@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!

@graceful hawk these are a couple different neighborhood layouts. Maybe you could do one of these! Or it’ll give inspo!

@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!

Should I keep the blue wind flowers for put blue pansies there instead???

pansies

#

Hi guys. How are you displaying your phtoso?

burnt gorge
#

The reason I am hesitant about pansies is because there are already some up on the cliff

worn jay
#

@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

@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

oak gazelle
#

@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

icy flint
#

@west olive here is my orchard looks better in person tho imo since i added some items in between them

brave storm
#

I wouldn't even thought of doing that darn i should use panelz

swift citrus

The orchard is nice I just don't have the sapace ot make an ice one

burnt gorge
#

If I replace the blue flowers with blue pansies... will it look bad because of the pansies on the cliff???

austere nimbus
#

@burnt gorge no i think it would look fine, but if u really don't like it u can change it back

burnt gorge
#

Yea true

#

So you think pansies would be better that’s where I am leaning towards 😆

If Isabelle says that my island is a traffic hazard how can I fix that and what does it mean?!

#

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.

wispy tiger
#

@woven drift alrighty thank you!!

storm bluff
#

@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

vagrant cosmos
#

it has a sort of natural, classic animal crossing feel I love @midnight dawn

wispy tiger
#

@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

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

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)

sharp jetty
#

@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🙈

woven drift
#

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

storm bluff

@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

wispy tiger
#

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
