Any suggestions or add on recommendations?
Second time messing up and not putting into the cliffside 😩 should I leave it? Or put it in for more space? Pls helpppp
looks fine to me
💕 @odd walrus
I was thinking the same I could do flowers or something on either side. But I was just thinking it would look more natural in the cliff side 🤨
Hey guys, I have this awkward spot behind some houses and I'm not sure what to do with it. Like something for a community area and particularly something that won't block Whitney's lil garden - any suggestions? (Garden ends with the last blue hycinth, everything else was just dropped)
@burnt osprey 😅
maybe a little butterfly garden or a seating/picnic area with the cushions so chairs dont take up the view @lucid osprey
Not a bad thing tho still looks awesome
maybe a little butterfly garden or a seating/picnic area with the cushions so chairs dont take up the view @lucid osprey
@gleaming kelp omg that's ideal! I can definitely work with that, thank you!
glad i could help
Anyone have inspiration for a blueberry farm with bushes? I wanted mine to not all be super orderly and in lines - buts mines a mess T^T Any help would be great!
@thorny dawn this blueberry farm is made by @scenic blaze and i think its very cute and creative!!
Thanks! That's actually the island that gave me the idea to make a blueberry farm. Mines not as good as that one...
im sure urs is beautiful!
Unfortunately, I dont have as much space. It looks kinda werid. Just pretend that all these bushes are in bloom :)
Any suggestions?
i think you can remove some of the trees to have more open space and that way you can fill it in with the bushes
Should I make the bushes more orderly? Like in rows? I just dont want to look too chaotic
some can be in rows, but make sure to scatter some just for the appeal
Okay, I'll give it a try - thanks so much!
np
@xojessxo#0813 thx😁
Cute ngl!
i have a small space between my post office and import/export area, is there anything that fits with these 2 facilities?
can we see a pic for reference
@charred grove
Cute ngl!
What does ngl mean??
yes, i pushed her here and she finally interacted for a photo but isn't she cute
not gonna lie
the things we gotta do for photos
@wooden nimbus
lol, this is my new villager area.. any decoration ideas? planning on doing fences between the houses with a lil garden but kinda stoked for ideas after that
@gleaming kelp yes! It’s this grass patch behind the import/export beach area
ooo do u already have barrels and stuff like that around ur export? maybe u can add it as an extension on the grass with oil barrels too @charred grove
@stable quarry do u have a certain theme
@gleaming kelp tryna do a foresty cottagecore theme ❤️
okay good cause i have some reference photos
i think all this naturey-plantsey stuff is cute decor especially for a neighborhood!! logstakes add a lot of appeal too @stable quarry (not my photos)
Hey guys, I'm thinking of remodling (not restarting) my island. If anyone has any reference photos of a cottagecore themed island they would be appreciated!! Thanks!!
Can I see ideas for museums? I'm blank. Please and Thank you.
@gleaming kelp i try to do things like that but its just so hard eeeee i cant do it for some reason
omg no🥺🥺 u can do it i believe in u, just try not too hard to compare urself to others!
Maybe try harder @stable quarry otherwise i don’t have any other solution
So here is a before and after, on the street I'm trying to somewhat recreate. The theme is feudal japan. Let me know what you think and what items to decorate the stalls with to give that feudal feeling. DM me of you like. And sorry about so many pictures.
that advice LMAOOOOO “just try harder”
@neon glen yeah, i mean, im not really in a place to criticize advice because i asked for but but i agree lmao
that’s like telling a depressed person 2 stop being sad
@modern ridge i dont have photos on me atm, but i do have 2 diagnal bridges leading up to my museum
@gleaming kelp i do but an extension sounds good too cause it's a pretty small beach area 🙂 thank you!
np, also u can add rusted jail bars to give it that rusted import look @charred grove
Pretty close yeah
It looks good, i cant think if any other way to decorate the entrance 👍
Nice symmetry and waterfalls
Hey guys, I'm thinking of remodling (not restarting) my island. If anyone has any reference photos of a cottagecore themed island they would be appreciated!! Thanks!!
@gleaming kelp sent these photos
@woven drift
I have too many brdiges xD
Lol thats so funny
I cant even imagine
Anybody else have photo examples fo their museum? I need inspiration
Here you go, not mine
@modern ridge
@modern ridge first picture is my museum entrance and then I have inclines on the left and right side which leads up to the second pic!
Wow great job @wooden nimbus and @vernal oxide and Tahnk you @woven drift
@vernal oxide I found your picture while browsing the browser upright for siara
Lol ty
I need BEACH ideas!!! I’m completely stuck on what to do with my beaches, and having no luck on google/Pinterest. Would love if you could message or post your fave beach areas!!! 😍💖
@cosmic bluff I haven’t done much with my beaches lol but here’s a small list of ideas!
@vernal oxide I did do a surf shop spot area stolen from an IG post lol but man they are tough to finagle - I appreciate this ty!
Hey guys
@cosmic bluff if you haven’t taken the time yet you can also use the top right search bar to look for specific things in this channel. Such as “in:island-layouts has: image: beach” to see what others have shared related to their beaches!
Hey guys
Hiii
Bro my resident services location is so bad im struggling so hard to make my island
Hi guys, any tips on decorating with black flowers? Other than a graveyard?
Can I get some opinions on pathing please? I’m debating between these two styles. Or my third option would be to use the pathing in the first pic for areas around the shops, RS and museum, and The Path in the second pic for everywhere else
i like the second pathing it goes with the white to me
me too
Working on my temple area ( from midsommar )
@high sundial do you have the pyramid furniture item by any chance? If you get it from Gulliver or trade for it I think that would work well instead of the tent. But it's still a cute idea with the tent!
I might try that soon 😮 thank you for the idea
i’m restarting my island rn and i can’t chose which one should i do top or bottom
i think bottom
I was wondering if a mod here could help me out? I’ve filmed my studio ghibli themed island and uploaded a video on YouTube, but I’m not sure if it’s okay to post it here since ... I feel like that might be self promo
Top
I don’t think it would count as advertising @rich tree
Oh okey! The video isn’t monetized either if it helps Lol (mods feel free to delete this if it violates any rules!) but uhh yeah I filmed my studio ghibli island 🥰
(I’m almost completely finished and my areas are too big for photos so I switched to video instead)
Hey guys,
I decided to refilm this island tour, because I’ve managed to grab a game capturing device for better quality!
I unfortunately forgot to film the rain scene area from totoro, but one of my older videos does have it!
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this video!
L...
@bitter inlet thank you btw
Hey! If the main purpose of the link is the content itself and is relevant, that is fine. Blatant self promo or commissions for RMT are not allowed. You should be fine but 
If you have any other questions and a moderator isn't around, don't hesitate to reach out to us via @neon knot! 
what color flowers should I use for kiki's yard?
Oh okey thank you! Yeah I just wanted to share the video because it’s basically just an island tour 😅
But yes for sure I’ll make note of using orvbot as well!
the totoro house 🥺 omg
I’m glad you like it 🥰 I was surprised that I could customize it to look mostly similar
ahh I don't have the time atm to watch it all rn but I've saved it!! It looks amazing 
you did it so accurately!
Oh of course! Thank you haha that’s really such a compliment 🥺
My winter and spring areas on my island! (You can see a bit of the spring entrance behind winter entrance)
@tawny gust omg look at all these chickens! Jk jk but that’s so cute!
not even close to half done yet 😫 ignore the three houses on the left side, I haven’t figured out where to move those villagers to yet!
thank you! 🥰
Looks great so far
I wish i could visit it
In desperate need of some island ideas!!! I restarted my entire game and now I feel like I have so much space again, and I have NO idea what I want to do with my island now
@burnt osprey Thank you! 🥰
@woven drift I’ll have my DA up when I’m done, but it’ll probably be far from now 😅
@woven drift Can’t wait to visit when it’s all done!
@woven drift your island is gorgeous!
Also that photo had me so confused - am I crazy or does this kinda look like a skeleton at first glance
I’m in desperate need of some entrance inspiration or pics💚💚
@half geyser My entrance
@hot yacht Thank you!
@rich tree thank you! and omg it kinda does tbh LOL someone pointed out on my IG that the rock beside the windflowers in this pic looks like a crocodile at first glance LOL
does anyone have advice on randomly placed homes
WIP of an area that I'm not sure how to finish.
I feel like removing the shelves and wild log benches. But I'm stuck on what I can do here.
@fringe heron im honestly not a fan of the fidget spinner dirt path LOLOL, maybe make it 1x1 and add flowers? or maybe add leaf piles?
LMAO OH GOD
I JUST NOTICED
No worries, I'll add leaf piles and flowers.
Just not sure what else I could add!
@waxen flame I did my map like this, hope it helps
i feel like you could move the log table + benches and make the rug like a picnic area?
That could work!
like add a cushion and picnic basket on the rug and move the table and bench to the right
whoa thanks dude! also your island is real creative I love it!
Thanks for the help! I can finally shake the feeling of this area being forever unfinished!

@waxen flame np and thx😁
Anyone have a park with fountain in the middle? Need inspo!
how does my entrance look? 🥺
@gloomy river that looks amazing!
ahhh thank you!! ❤️
Np!😁
@fringe heron I noticed that the custom paths looks a lot like the Game Cube graphics. Is that what you were trying to do?
Which statues would fit a zen and/or forest theme?
I'm gonna have to have 1 villager that lives on the beach
Melba’s bug studying area c: 🐛
❤️
Should i remove the fence around the flowers or let it that way
Idk how to make it pretty
I would remove the opening so you can walk in there or make a little opening like a gate because it would be more realistic like if you could walk in and around the flowers. That’s just me though 🙂
I agree. A place to sit and watch the fountain would be nice too, if that is possible.
What statues would fit to a zen and/or forest theme?
I will remove the fence then
I agree. A place to sit and watch the fountain would be nice too, if that is possible.
@steel charm good idea but i put a children park above so i dont have place😭
What statues would fit to a zen and/or forest theme?
@sturdy ore stone diys statues fits nice
Is it better
WIP of Ken's yard before 😴 ||his exterior is glitched and appears as Greta's||
@sturdy ore stone diys statues fits nice
@woven drift I actually meant art statues
I want to do something weird with my island. I want it to be ‘Miami’ themed but I don’t know if I should go vaporwave or tropical style, what do you guys think would be best?
Vaporwave sounds really interesting! I’m not sure how you’d pull it off but it sounds like a nice vibe
hmm ok! I’ll try it and post some WIPs along the way!
Nice! I look forward to seeing it!
@sturdy ore warrior statues
Ah, thank you
@woven drift I redid my entrance as a sort of vaporwave look to test it out. how is it? should I pursue this style?
Ah wow!! It looks really cool, yeah I think you should go for it!
thanks!! I’ll keep at it then 🥰
Nice 😌
Oh wow I like that floor tile! I feel like a red/pink icecube arch would go really well with it
Also not really a critique or suggestion because the style is so unique already so don't let me interrupt your funky flow; what do you think about pixelating your island via terraforming? Like all edges to cliffs are hard edges with a lot more square blocks sticking out or receding from cliffs?
that could be a cool aesthetic! I’ll try it out. ☺️ thanks for the ideas!
Revamped art exhibit museum entrance
I like how the gong looks like it's part of the picture frame on the left
@gloomy river not seen someone go for that style before but I actually think it'd be very worth it if you could pull it off. Maybe think about what season would suit it best too since I doubt you want to fill in your entire island with custom tiles. Maybe winter or Autumn would go well? Also, just thinking there's plenty of items that would fit the theme, like the neon diner sign maybe and hyacinth lamps etc
for sure! the diner set in general looks like it’ll be great. I hadn’t thought of seasons but the white of winter would look awesome I think!
nobody asked for it, but I present to you: w a v e h e n g e
It's overall a very neat idea, not seen anyone else do it, at least in discord. Maybe use some floor lights for wavehenge as well?
oooo absolutely! I’ll try to get a bunch of floor lights, I think pink ones especially would look great. thanks!
Could even use one colour for each rock maybe? idk how it'd look ^^
Ill test it out once I get some floor lights! thankssss
no worries 
oh wow
that looks awesome @gloomy river
To say that I’m obsessed with how my museum is turning out is an understatement ☺️ I’ve been at it since 7 this morning with so much more to do 😂
I’ll do a video tour once I’m finished if anyone wants to see
Been playing with a new entrance today, would love some tips or advice:)
@fossil marsh love it!!
Almost finished my entrance! Here's what it looked like before vs now
i need to put some more stuff
@burnt osprey I really like it! My only advice is to add a couple palm trees on the sides to frame the area even more and add some blue in the middle as well, like a placed diving beetle or soft shelled turtle instead of the crab
I think the holly bush is the best bush for a cottagecore isle just my opinion👍
how should i make a museum area, my theme is city/urban and idk how to execute it
Maybe put like an amber next to the museum or signs that say museum on it?
@tropic slate could use some extra stuff, but very good so far ^^
@burnt osprey I endorse what Chuck said, also just more of what you're doing already with that one room would be great! if the rest of the area around it had the detail that that chunk does then it'll look fantastic 
@night fjord thanks appreciate the feedback! I was already planning on doing another market next to it maybe either a smoothie bar or a surf shop kind of thing, to match my market area
Should I change this part of my isle it does not really match my cottagecore theme but at the same time I like it idk what to do!

?
If u like it u should keep it! I think it looks great@nova kindle
messin with the entrance dig it so far
big fan of the statue. Guessing your going for a jungle theme?
Or tropical
Here is my residential area! Opinions? https://youtu.be/Zpd8WLXn26k
Residential Area Speed Build - Animal Crossing New Horizons

Residential Area Speed Build - Animal Crossing New Horizons
Today I work on my second residential...
Julia's new arrangement, thoughts?
yes tropical
@nova kindle I think you should keep it! One possibility if you want to modify it slightly could be to break it up into a few uneven and smaller waterfalls in the same space--coule make the thing feel more natural while keeping the glorious gnome mountain
what should i put here - i was thinking picnic
Definitely keep it open, that terraforming is really nice. A picnic would work, otherwise a nature feature of a kind of central path area that's nicely done. Anything will fit imo
Yeah that terraforming is ❤
What should I put in the middle?
Where I have the red flowers and tree how can I make that tiny space fit more to my theme? I don’t have a load of space but I want my island to all match! Ignore the space behind to, I have plans for that soon ;)

@carmine depot Add some waterfalls behind, add a campfire cookware or campfire or a bonfire in front, stone stools with the campfire you choose and done!
@carmine depot Use this as an example!
@glass coral maybe that turtle fossil it looks like ur going for a tropical island or maybe that tiki looking statue lol wish I knew the names
Thanks @idle shadow
Does anybody know what I can do with this area? I know after a bit of cleaning out it would make a great spot for something, any ideas?
What are some examples of themes?
like nature, gothic, cottagecore, fairy-tale etc
Cottage core
I’m trying to do cottage core and nature rn
Maybe a little cafe surrounded by mushrooms~ A mushroom cafe~
@abstract lagoon city and medieval castle themes are also fairly common too
Do I have to build a cafe
nope
When you wanna ask how to get the mushroom items
oh and water and tropic ones too
What do I do for that
its just an option!
@glass coral you can get mushrooms and mushroom DIYs in autumn/fall
How would I make a caffe
@glass coral you craft it!
Ooh
Could I do flowers too?
I’ve timeskiped to September and got the patterns from Sable
Yeee
How do I get a cafe
So what month do I get the mushroom DIY’s?
@abstract lagoon any way you want to really, if you want you can ask in here for inspiration on cafes, there'll be plenty of people with them. Or you can type "has: cafe in: island-layouts" to see previously posted ones in here
you make the cafe yourself with items in the game
Lol
Ok lol
😭 i miss her sm
Mine doesn’t look that good-
@abstract lagoon Yeah basically. Mine is relatively developed to give you an idea, but you can have very different looking cafes. I've gone with a dark colour palette but I've seen white/light ones etc
How do I get the wooden floor/concrete floor in the normal grass
You’ll need three stars for that
you need paths, which unlock once you have a 3 star rating for your island from isabelle
Well frick I have to wait a while then
Oof
yeah, but you'll get there. Terraforming and paths are a big game changer
IKR
getting 3 stars is v easy, just add flowers and furniture everywhere
I legit just put a chair down and got a four star
I accidentally put a bridge next to a store and now it kinda sucks because the bridge is kinda pointless
@glass coral sorry for the late reply but thank you so much!
Np
I have like 16 flowers behind my house so-
Also, everyone inevitably thinks that everyone else's island is more developed than theirs when they come in here, try not to worry about what everyone else is doing. I have over 500/600 hours in the game so when you see my island or other's it's unfair to compare. Just work on your own, take inspiration, incorporate stuff into your own and repeat ^^
?_? confused, why is this bridge so bad
well bridges can always be deleted later and replaced elsewhere. Your island will probably feel cramped at this stage until you get terraforming and can work with your whole island
I have this cool location for a small lowkey campsite
Also looking for opinions and feedback on my fish market, is it too hectic, behind it is my other markets
ooo wat is the code for that patg
Said it before when you posted and I'll say it again, I think it's very well done. I like things to be detailed but also have a path through that makes sense while walking, and I think you've managed it ^^
When you time skip a month for the mushroom DIYS and get many weeds
I have a feeling to make this a campsite
When you time skip a month for the mushroom DIYS and get many weeds
@glass coral decorate enough with weeds and it ceases to be a problem 😉
A campsite can work well there. Are you at the point where you have the actual building or do you mean building a campsite area in general? @abstract lagoon
Like set up a fire and leave the log stumps there
oh for sure, that could work very nicely 
Hang on I’ll let you see the flowers behind my house
Yeah I tried decorating with weeds but I removed them afterwards
That’s all the flowers behind my house
Oh here’s a big detail, I’m on the part where I lay down the 3 house plots
Ohh
nice
I used to have a glitch where it wouldn’t check the item but just end it with the chair and put it at the side of the table.
tbhhhh dont worry about island rating for now, just get more plots
your rating will go up as u get more villagers
Doesn’t Isabelle come in a few days?
Yeah
I feel like my island is worse than everybody else’s
anyone with a nature theme have ideas in how to decorate the outside houses in the woods without it looking too out of place?
i love the wallpaper
I made a bamboo cafe, be proud of me
cute
im proud
What is that stand at the top
Oh, a stall?
Yeah, can I unlock that some time?
Is it buried?
you get the stall diy from the nookstop once resident services upgrades
its not from the beach
Oh yeah that’s another thing how do I upgrade it
Ooooooh lol
30 days since it opens I think
I thought it was from the beach cause I remember about diy bottles
if you have someone with an upgraded cranny you can buy the recipe from theirs
yeah, some store bought recipes shows up on the beach too
@still summit i dont think u can, since u cant use other ppls nookstop
not the kiosk
U can buy it in the kiosk
I really need Nintendo Switch Online so I can trade
yeah but the diy recipes from nooks cranny doesnt include the stall
@abstract lagoon if you check the pinned post in #game-help-questions❓ there are a lot of answers that you can find about the game, such as how to upgrade your nooks! the people there are helpful too~ this channel is for anything related to island layouts and design :)
oh miles exchange
I’m ready for the fall now ÙwÚ
cuteee
Hi if anyone needs recipes lmk I have a bunch of if they need an item made I’ll be glad to make it for them
Oop I meant to put that at Outfit-showoff
@zinc osprey I would like a recipe but I don’t have Nintendo Switch Online
Aww 😕
😦
Hi if anyone needs recipes lmk I have a bunch of if they need an item made I’ll be glad to make it for them
@zinc osprey are they for free? : ) and do you have the recipe for crescent moon chair
I’ve been hoping Celeste gives me the recipe for the moon chair, but she doesn’t. She’s so mean : (
I can make you the chair
Yay ty
I just need the items
Let’s talk in private. Cuz this is off topic
So my island is trash, we only have a pool area and residential areas, some trees. Any cute ideas?
If you have A three star rating and all the paths and permits then Add waterfalls add some flowers add a campfire and some tables and chairs
AAAA
where can i terraform on the bottom level to make it look better and less flat? top right i have a tree farm, top left i have a zen garden, bottom right restaurant, and bottom left i have a recreation area
Not finished, but Coco has a new orchard
@zinc osprey do you have a hacyanth lamp diy any color would work
So my island is trash, we only have a pool area and residential areas, some trees. Any cute ideas?
@woven drift i did a little restaurant. (indoor and outdoor one) i also personally took a lot of ideas from shows and movies i like. it makes it more personalized too
@bronze urchin thank you!
Do you guys have ideas for a cottagecore entrance???
I need to move my flowers tho

@nova kindle Heres my entrace its mostly cottagecore
@nova kindle I've seen a few that head to a crossroads straight up from the airport, like a 3 or 4 way intersection all surrounded by cedar trees that gives a nice woodland vibe
Hi I have a bunch of recipes if anyone needs anything I’ll be glad to give it or make the item for you
Does anyone have a good aesthetic work around for when you run out of inclines? Maybe making a fake ladder on a simple panel?
Hi i have a lot of recipes if anyone needs any or wants me to make it I’ll be happy to just lmk
@zinc osprey #diy-trade
@zinc osprey Go to #diy-trade for that, Dont advertise in here
Just finished by bar area by the shore
tangy's house 
HOW DO YOU DO STUFF LIKE THAT
where do you get all these items
i have 55m bells, I NEED TO USE THEM. WHO IS YOUR DEALER PEOPLE
is that a dead bird? @fallow apex what r u doing?
@woven drift thats gulliver. And you can get items from #furniture-trade or try using nookazon.com
yeh i know, havent seen him in like 2 months..... hes been to my island 3 times..... poor gulliver... BETTER START DIGGIN THE GRAVE 😄
@woven drift he had a little bit too much to drink if you know what im saying 😉
hahahahaha XD i do
I worked on my entrance last night and came up with this :3 Any suggestions? I still have to terraform to the left of rs and after the incline. 
that looks so beautifully open, I love it
@molten vessel Thank you so much! 🥺💞
@echo rose wow your entrance is gorgeous!
I wish I could terraform that good
I wish I could terraform that good
@nova kindle I’m not that good but I get compliments
As long as you are creative someone will like your island
Ur better at it than me lol
Have u seen mine
I mean I like that
Lol thanks
Which fence? Please help
Rope
I’m partial for the stone one
Go with the curtain one
Curtain or rope
Rope
curtain
Guess I’m out voted here
Rope
entrance not finished, but Apollo has a diner next to his house now 
Looks amazing!!
Nice
ty ^^
Stone+curtain fits very good
Wedding event I think
That’s the wedding fence
oh ok
what do you do with an ammonite
Sadly the event is over tho
Put it on a rock for the beach or donate it to the museum
Or sell it
Yea
@sudden grail if you want some of that fencing I should be able to make you some after work
Small city
Nice
Wat theme do u guys have for ur isle?
@nova kindle suburban/simple
suburban also
Idk what my theme is
Lol
Simple and natural I guess 
Mine is natural/cottagecore
And sad, like me
But I’m also going to have a bamboo forest neighborhood where all of the villagers with Japanese style houses will live
would red flowers or pink flowers fit better???....
Does anyone have a good aesthetic work around for when you run out of inclines? Maybe making a fake ladder on a simple panel?
@worldly notch super late response but I just happened to scroll up on the chat - depending on the cliff (i.e. if it's decorative) sometimes it's not necessary to add anything! I also dug up a neat ladder design you're talking about tho, so it's attached in case you want it. I coincidentally use the door panel design in that pic to make one of my areas seem like a two story building where you can walk in via the door for the cliff in the back so no incline was necessary
Red
thanks ^^
Edo, Meiji, Taishō, and small random mix of modern/rural
I ran out of inclines for a rooftop I had planned so I just went with building it like an actual rooftop that you had to manually climb up
@plain forge where can I find that wooden ladder code at?!
Wat theme do u guys have for ur isle?
@nova kindle it was urban Japanese -> city (LA specifically) -> now it's medieval
Nice
@nova kindle the code is in the pic under the creators ig @ :)
Tysm
How do u guys balance the funds it takes to upgrade ur house and build inclined and move houses?! I feel like I’m only focusing on my island at the moment but I’ll have to upgrade my house when I’m done.
@still summit tysm 😊
I'm currently working on my isle too I don't mind my house right now@wispy tiger but the only problem with that is the storage
Finished paying off my house in the third-ish week of playing when my nooks was buying turnips for 400+, and now I just use gold roses, sea creatures, and cleaning out inventory to fund the fees for inclines/bridges/houses
@plain forge @nova kindle yes! Thank you so much!! I think I will start buying turnips again
Np
@wispy tiger if you also have somwhat popular villagers that you don't personally want/are willing to kick out, villager trading can yield lots of bells and some nmts, and if you're not pressed for nmts, you can sell a stack of nmt typically for 1 mil bells in #materials-and-tools
oh dam that's a tempting rate
Does this look fine?
@plain forge yes that is very smart! I’m unfortunately still trying to get all of my dreamers but I will definitely keep that in mind for when I get all of them 👍👍
@wispy tiger Buying Turnips is indeed a good idea but sometimes u will get ripped off and not get more money than what u paid for the turnips with, it happens😭
Hey, does anyone have a city/Tokyo street kinda thing? I wanna do one
@nova kindle ahaha yes it definitely takes some skill! Thank u for warning me I will def make some calculations before I sell 😉
👍 👍 👍 smart
picture island
beautiful!!!!
I am starting some kinda entrance water wall thing what do you think?
Wow
Love it 😍
Cowboys
the stuffed animal as a prop there is great ahah
@twilit oasis I like it but idk if the paths fit. It would be cool if you put a bridge there maybe?
do you guys think they'll ever make it so you can have more inclines/bridges?
w a v e y
Automne 🍂
I know I just am new to the game and still trying just to get bells and nmt however @queen current thx so much
Hey, does anyone have a city/Tokyo street kinda thing? I wanna do one
@queen current if you go search "in:#dream-addresses🌜 has: Japanese city" you will find lots of islands you can visit for inspo, or you can also type "in:#island-designs has:image city" and you may be able to find past posts with it
@twilit oasis no problem. I have an entrance like that and might do a bridge there too lol
@plain forge thanks
Had three turtles to make a model but i was thinking doesnt that kill them ?? So why not set them free instead 😀w

@queen current if you find my dream address in #dream-addresses🌜 I have a city style island you can check out
@fallow apex looks good! Imo it would've been super pointless to make them into models since not only does it look faker (bc of the stand it's on) you'll only have 1 instead of 3 to display 🤣
@woven drift dm me it
@plain forge tbh i didnt know the turtles show up like that until my friend told me i thought every fish was ina tank lol
@woven drift de rien!
@fallow apex ohhh yes, some sea creatures too like the spider crab and horseshoe crab! If you touch the horseshoe crab it even flips over 
:o def keep that in mind for my next area
save the post office! 💌
Idk why thats not a thinng imo
Awwweee cute post office!! @winter wind
thank you so much! 🥰 @woven drift
np!
My entrance 
@regal echo love it!!! How do u take a picture like that?

Geez villager phots are crazy expensive
How much?
For biff like 70nmt (first villager on my island) shari like 90 nmt (second villager on my island)
Omg that’s so much
So much for my graveyard idea lol
On nookazon the photos are 3.2 million
Jeez that’s just too much
I mean i get that they are hard to get but still cmon
its faster just to gain the friendship points
Yea
You can grind out villager bdays
Problem is those where my starter villagers so i booted them because they had bum houses lol
I let one of my starter villagers move out and I rlly regret it
I dont
I want her back. 🥺
i had shari and as soon as she said "ive been thinking" I said PEACE OUT GURL
Hahaha
i had shari and as soon as she said "ive been thinking" I said PEACE OUT GURL
@woven drift I did the same to Yuka
Charlise and snake were my starters 🥺
My starter villager was unibrow squirrel. She was rude af
@fallow apex you can try nook's island. it's a website where you can get anything from in-game. You'll have to set up a listing but once someone has it you can trade with them. Its cheaper than nookazon
Ill keep that in mind. Thank you. Yeah i had both of those photos when i first started but i sold them thinking i would never use them again lol
oh no
But now i have a graveyard idea 🤣
Who were everyone’s starters
Ahhh
what should I add or take away for this entrance? was thinking a pink frozen arch and maybe some floor lights but idk!
Shari and Rowan. Waiting for Rowan to say good bye but yesterday was his b-day so i have to wait😫
maybe some more hyacinth lamps on the side?
Sorry for reposting but I’m lowkey proud of my island 😅 I filmed a tour of my 5 star studio ghibli themed island! Couldn’t take photos of all the areas cuz they’re too big 🗿
I’ll attach a photo of one of my totoro sections and the link as well if y’all are interested!
Hey guys,
I decided to refilm this island tour, because I’ve managed to grab a game capturing device for better quality!
I unfortunately forgot to film the rain scene area from totoro, but one of my older videos does have it!
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this video!
L...
@short flare the hyacinth lamps would look cute, but do floor lights too inbetween
Aha omg i still got my phots when i bought this game on release lol
okay!
My gardening area is complete🥰
So good!!!!! U r sooo talented
@mighty field woah thats amazing gg on the fps though huh
C'est magnifique!!
Thank you!🥰
@mighty field love the garden! Has such a nice aesthetic!
@hoary moth thank you!🥰
I’m going to be putting these up in my ables!!
npp!! Just speaking the truth! And I love those so so much!!!
Would anyone like to come visit to Junipero?
I would but im getting my switch for Christmas so i cant play ac yet! :))
@hoary moth ooo so exciting!! I hope u love the game 💕
i know i already will!! ❤️
Mathilda's goth area, part of a larger area where her, Apollo and Cherry are going to live
@rich tree i just watched your tour video! It’s so well done, I love your island! 🥺
Also a central fountain area and Apollo/mathilda's shared space
My two Castles so far
@crystal elbow how did you do that?!?
@rich tree i just watched your tour video! It’s so well done, I love your island! 🥺
@austere fog aww thank you! I hope I got the references right for the movies 🥰
A lot of simple panels with custom design and wedding pipe organs!
Cocos beach house! 🌴
🌴🍹
@night fjord the photos of ur island look sooo good!!!
What does everybody’s maps look like?
@nova kindle thankie 
Not very representative of my island since custom paths don't show up and there are quite a few areas under development, but this is my current layout
@echo rose my isle is not complete yet but here's my map uwu
@nova kindle cute!!
Tysm
@night fjord ooo nice! I love the little island it the middle! 😊💞
Thanks! That's a recent addition, was an incredible pain to make and get the bridges right
@river cypress so pretty!!
i bet Coco is super happy with her beach area!
@fallow apex I might have Shari's photo for free for you
This is a before and after of a fountain area i repurposed to make more gothic, is there anything i can do better with it?
@river cypress so pretty!!
i bet Coco is super happy with her beach area!
@austere fog ty! 😊
Need to recheck it when Im home tho, but I remember I had 2 of them
@sharp jetty oh no i wont take it for free sell it lol
@night fjord Decorations might help? Also I dont think the fall ground really helps in making it gothic

@night fjord
that is a great improvement!
@fallow apex Dont worry, its not the first time I give stuff away. And Im pretty rich in ACNH resources if I may say so myself
well tbf I don't know what other season looks better with it, but I'm mainly just interested in what's going on with the building itself. Decorations would be good, I could add benches?
Well for me buying it is not an issue its just ppl want astronomical prices for it where i could use my nmt for other useful things
@night fjord I think it looks too empty, benches might help but some extra decorations would be nice too. I also think the streetlamps shouldnt be this close to each other. Black and white flowers might be nice too? Some personalisation if you know what I mean🙈
well tbf I don't know what other season looks better with it, but I'm mainly just interested in what's going on with the building itself. Decorations would be good, I could add benches?
@night fjord
Black iron benches
Yeah those dark patches are for flowers to go, just haven't got the colours I want yet. The streetlamps can be moved but the problem is they get covered by the trees if I move them into the corners which I don't like too much
<-> <-> me watching u!

@fallow apex Yeah I totally get it, I used to sell photos for 50 nmt and even if they ask more I wouldnt take it. At some point there were so many people asking it that I quit selling them altogether. 50 NMT is still quite a lot but if I sold it for even lower than my dms would have overspilled

let me try benches and a couple of things
Yeah thats what i sell my photos for @sharp jetty its ridiculous now they are 100 nmt your telling me theyre worth more than art now gice me a break
@night fjord Hmm is it impirtant for you to want the streetlights to be noticeable? Because I dont think a bit covering them would be that bad, but thats an opinion.
Which colors are you looking for (the flowers)
_(")_/ idk
@fallow apex
Totally agree

??? photos r that expensive? i got audies photo for free
Can someone help idk what to put up on these
let me try benches and a couple of things
@night fjord
Sorry bout the editing but i will separate the streetlamps a little..
Brb
@neon glen For very unpopular villagers, prices can go up to 150 nmt
For popular villagers the prices would range between 40~60
trying it out now, issue with streetlamps there is it makes you do the squeeze animation between the fountain and the lamposts lmao
but oh well, can't have everything perfect
Wat
@waxen hinge Are you trying to make a more Japanese city urbanish island?
like moving between the two, you have to do the little sidestep through them
which is awkward and I like to avoid it when building if I can
Mm kinda behind it is a Tokyo cyberpunk like city
Can someone help idk what to put up on these
@waxen hinge this is my entrance..i dunno if this will help
@night fjord oh that makes more sense lol
Yo that’s cool
@night fjord Oh I get it. Hmm I think that leaving them wouldnt be that much of a problem, just that the space is now too empty that the focus point would be on how close these streetlamps are. I think it will be fine to let them be and just decorate the place more
Awkward pathing, but definitely looks better. For now i'm happy with it so thanks for the help ^^ might come back and change some stuff later
Does anyone know a good table and chair set to use? Preferably with a light pink color option (it doesn’t need to be) cause I’ve looked at my recipes, but I just can’t think of anything that would look good here (it’s gonna be a dining area)
@burnt mica
Either the white iron benches or the pink wedding benches I think
I was just about to say that lol
Benches?
They have chairs option too
Oh those were only obtainable in wedding season
When is that 😀
I believe july?
Edit: june
Ok thank you 😊
@burnt mica correction june
Do you think thatd work tho? This is what’s behind it
#notmine
Dobies post office and mushroom farm! 😊
@waxen hinge maybe something like this minus stairs would be better?
#notmine
@sharp jetty do you have dream adress that looks amazing lol
@river cypress that is amazing
@fallow apex I have no clue whose idea it was tbh, I downloaded it from pinterest🥺
Awww.. damn that looks crazy good
I know, but I might have another one that is right up your ally give me a sec
안녕하세요 귀월입니다.
오늘은 일본의 hyde님의 섬에 방문했어요! 이번 영상은 친구네 섬에 놀러간 컨셉이에요ㅎㅎ

Pirate cove is a go ☠
Tried to decorate Rudy’s house— there is a treadmill hidden by the trees and a few little other things placed around but I’m not sure I’m enjoying the vibe. Any recommendations?
Tried to decorate Rudy’s house— there is a treadmill hidden by the trees and a few little other things placed around but I’m not sure I’m enjoying the vibe. Any recommendations?
@magic fulcrum maybe there's too many different kinds of furniture? I think what it needs is one theme and color scheme, probably red for Rudy.
@main pollen could work! I did try to add a few different colors due to his house but maybe it’s just too much:) thanks!
@magic fulcrum np! Good luck!
I’m not the most creative person in the world but I had a small area left over so I made a little café. What do you think?
I’m kind of stuck this is the last place i need to fill on my island do any of you have any ideas what I can place here?
@ivory jay what do you have on your island already?
@ivory jay
@wet ore ahh I have quite a lot to list down 😅 but @manic sigil thank you for the selection! 😁

Just finished my star gazing spot/ boardwalk. Very proud of it tbh
WIP Blacksmith Nooks! (kinda a mess of items rn but i kinda like it ?)

Anyone have their lighthouse on a beach rock? Looking for natural/cottage/fairy core ideas for mine
Any ideas for redd entrance?
hi! animal crossing new horizons in my first game in the series and i’m pretty bad at island layouts (specifically my villager residential area). i’ve been trying around some design ideas, but none of them seem to work. i’d love to be able to visit some islands/ some one come visit mine for help and inspiration!
@dire sedge check out the dream address channel! There's tons of amazing islands on there
Any suggestions for what chair will work with these orange tables? Gonna make a beach juice bar
@vital root I think rattan stools could look nice
Do you guys think I should keep the same blue and black flower pattern for both sides or switch it up?
I'd say same colours on both sides, but I just like symmetry lol
I’m not sure how to decorate my entrance any ideas?
@clever turtle try doing a rainbow with the colours or keeping it symmetrical then see how you like that
@brazen holly u could put an arch there and some benches!
@brazen holly u could put an arch there and some benches!
@grand rover good idea ty!

Pls pm dodo code if interested!
@silk ermine try #690093605821480980 instead, this channel is more for showing off/getting advice on locations on your island 
I redid my little entrance square yesterday and decided to redo the entrance entrance too, what do you guys think?
this was the before, it wasn't bad but I just wasn't happy with it 😔
It’s so pretty omg!!! Just a suggestion but you could maybe add some weeds/tiny flower custom designs?
I'll try that!
I definitely like the new one better
thanks :)
So gorgeous! And the flower combo looks stunning 
Any ideas for redd entrance?
@vapid prairie kinda late but I'm just seeing this now!
House is my 3rd player's home, tried to match Redd's boat to look like a storehouse
I got a rainbow today!
@golden nest How's this? I have another photo inc as well without the flowers on the round steps
there we go, slowmode
ft olivia and mosquito photobombs
The flower pattern is gorgeous!! ^and so is Olivia ofc lol
Alrighty I'll keep it then :) thank you!!!
Of course 🥰
Hello
A little idea i had: used fireworks as candles!
May i have some help?
🤔 with what
Just spent a lot of time on this ooff
it helps to be a bit more specific
work in progress forest :))
so what do you need help with ?
Well here's the thing I scratched off my 4 theme island to a 2 theme island now it turned itself into a 0 island. So i guess I'll stick with Australia theme
There are 4 deserts in the country but i don't really WANT to make 4 deserts
However i might stick with a city like theme with an outback
Hm well you could make a little basketball court nestled in the woods are something similar. I think it would be rlly cute!
@humble spoke you could make it a park area and add a soccer field and playground to the basketball court, but i would make the areas smaller like in these pics
can anyone show me what they did for the exterior of their own house? for inspiration?
What color candle is nice for fall on a beach?
is that campfire photoshop of a leaf pile? @deft glen
Anyone have ideas for a lighthouse on a beach rock?
what flowers for Kiki's yard? I was initially gonna do black/yellow but I want something that matches the exterior
@tired yoke it's a leaf campfire customised to have the marshmallows
what about orange hyacinths?
@clever tiger do you think those would look good with yellow mums?
it could.. let's see
@limber ginkgo I think orange tulips would look super cute! I had them in Lolly's yard when I had her
@limber ginkgo I would do bold orange and red flowers
I'll do some experimenting to see how it looks! The Autumn colors definitely look great outside her house
can anyone show me what they did for the exterior of their own house? for inspiration?
@tired yoke mines right by the beach and my entrance so I can hit the airport asap!
@clever tiger middle or right are cute
Can anyone help with lighthouse ideas that don't use flowers? Mine is on the rocks
Here's my lighthouse lol
@worldly notch cute!
Anyone have Gruffs and someone else’s yard like a concert area? Can you post pics? 😋
woah a leaf campfire i didn’t know that was a thing
@tired yoke yeah it's one of the coolest items
Does anyone have inspo for this type of entrance? I’m looking for dark shaded garden vibe
With a small little lantern to decorate as well
Hey so with sharing your dream address (finally got mine going) how do you know if ppl visited or not
nso app @fallow apex
Ok thank you
That’s a thing?! I’ll have to look into that app!
yes but u can only see how many people have visited, not who specifically @odd walrus
Which stopblock looks better for the natural wood pagoda?
Top, I think the white is a little too bright lol
I am having a hard time deciding whether to keep this area as is or not. Right in front of it is the beach and right beside is the playground. Any tips on decorating this?
@flint bane it looks weird with the road behind it
also maybe break up the fences but other than that it looks good
thanks! I'll try experimenting with the fences!
not sure if this is the right place to ask, but do you guys have good inspo pics for a plaza-type area? Thanks :)
@normal briar not mine
I think my frozen castle is finally finished ♡ its the prettiest at night ♡

@woven drift that river thing looks really cool!
thank🥺 @cedar oyster
Ohhhh my god that is exactly how I pictured your ice castle would look!! It’s so pretty 😭 @mental rain
@woven drift I personally like adding a lot of waterfalls around houses and on top of them I like picnic or sitting areas 🙂 hope this helps
i like the cat shape
anyone got any cafes they can share?
why me
@midnight turtle
i got animal crossing 2 weeks ago
@red pond gl out there champ
@golden nest thank you!! It took alot of work but finally done ♡
coco thanks
Is there a channel besides this one I ask for help designing my island? Like collaborating with someone to help me design it? 🥺
How do ppl do collages for there islands
@midnight turtle this is the cafe I made for Marshal!
It’s nothing fancy but tell me what you think or what I can add!!
@fallow apex I used pic collage which isn’t bad it just has the watermark on it in the bottom right lol
@vernal oxide oh ok thanks i dont mind the water mark 😅 i remembered visiting your island too its amazing
Guys I really need your opinion. I want to do a cottage core theme, but I have gotten pretty far using this brick path (I'm also very particular, and would like my paths to show up on the map). But, like every other player I've fallen in love with THE path.
So, should I do all the work to start the paths over, making them more twisty-turny (downside being the work, and that they won't be on the map), or can I make cottage core theme work with the brick?
@stiff crypt I think adding some weeds, shrubs, flowers, and maybe some rocks (diy rocks) it’ll really add to it!
@vernal oxide ok thank you!!
New entrance wip. Seems I can't leave my love of nature things. Lol. We'll see how rest of island turns out as I do plan on having a town/city area with a brick path I saved earlier.
Very lovely!!!
I can do space, cottage, creepy, or floral themed island what do i do guys
I really love creepy and floral themed
So which of the two idk
For me personally I would do floral
Ok thanks
Good luck with the theme! All of those are great. Also, thank you @stiff crypt
I added some more stuff to it. What do you think?
@stiff crypt wow its amazing
WIP, I just finished tearing down my old zen area, I'm going to add a little resting spot around the area Ken's sitting at and I'll connect it to his house somehow. behind the waterfall is where I hid an incline
@stiff crypt looks great
green area isn’t fully in yet, but it looks cute with all the shrubs. And ursala with her lil hat
Looks amazing!!

if you absolutely love the brick keep using it !! if you love the path so much you need to use it then just use it!! my whole island was stone paths then i switched to cottage core & used the path. i think it’s worth it. just do it little by little @icy sedge
you could have brick paths for "main" paths and use the path for shortcuts?
@lusty radish thank you! I honestly think I will like the path more than I like the brick path. I only really like the brick because it shows up on the map, and it matches the Resident Services plaza brick... I think if I change to the path it'll help blend everything into one cohesive theme.
@limber ginkgo I have a second stone path (you can see a tiny bit in the left side of the image) that I've used for secondary paths all around and on my "villager island" in the middle lol. I think these stones will mix better with THE path than they do with the brick
that moment when you lightbulb on a house placement
@icy sedge i’d say change it to the dirt path if you think itll match w the stone paths more ! tbh i dont think your whole island has to match the residential service bricks, i like to think it’s the central building(tm) so it gets its own special brick path LOLOL
@neon glen I think I'm going to! I have brick EVERYWHERE and the more I see it, the more I'm starting to hate it. I think I'm going to leave the stretch between my museum--residential services--nook's (all in a line) brick, sort of like a "town square". Then use the path everywhere else
what have yall done with your streams?
@woven drift I've kept my streams basically exactly how they were originally (with minor tweaking to fit in bridges and a few villagers homes.)
does anyone know any fences that go with leopolds house?
I would use stone fences or lattice, I have him and it looks cute with either @mystic talon
im leaning towards stone @woven drift thx :)
Sherb's first customer
I’m decorating able sisters and I was wondering if I could see the outside of someone’s able sisters
this is my campsite im not particulary in love with it but i dont hate it either, any tips 😅😢
My map
Wow. That waterforming.
so i got this gap in my path cause none of the paths fit in it correctly so i want to put some plants in there, suggestions on any like patterns?
This person has good ones if you want to look at them. https://www.reddit.com/user/N8vtxn/ @mystic talon
@mystic talon I would alternate different kinds of bushes and flowers - maybe one bush and two different flower types?
@silk kettle 😅
Stitches running through the side of the bear area. The absolute cutest thing ever
my island entrance looks really boring, any suggestions? my island theme is retro city
(ignore the stuff on the ground)
@small pulsar I’m not really good with city islands but maybe like a little pit stop area right when you get off the plane? Like drink machine, snack machine, some benches?
Thoughts on my WIP. It is a Geisha/Kibuki house. At the top section is where Chrissy and Francine will live as my two Geisha's in my feudal era japanese town. Let me know of I should change the designs of the panels. I got inspo from real pics.
ooo i really like the traditional japanese designs
Entrance during golden hour!
Any advice on how to improve wedding area
Does anyone have a dog park on their island?
Hiii! Been struggling with path codes lately and I finally got path codes that I really like. My island has no theme/core whatsoever it's just one huge rainbow slash everywhere hahaha
@tired river late but this is my ables !!
LF: Somebody to build me a fence design! (I will provide the fences)
FT: 10nmt
Need inspiration for Flora and Octavians yards!! Just got them today and i'm remodeling my island. They're pretty small so nothing crazy. Tag me. I have a cottagecore themed island btw
@woven drift I have a cottage core themed island too and I’m gonna be doing their yards based off their “goal” or “home request” !!!!
@odd walrus smart idea!! tysm!!
@woven drift of course!
do any of u have that picture that shows you exactly how big the inclines are? i remember that the person dug it into a cliff
@shell verge I believe they are 2x4
lf: somebody to place fences (Im garbage)
Ft: NMT
@limber ginkgo thank u!
lf: somebody to place fences (Im garbage)

@spice jewel cant place anything on other players islands
@spice jewel cant place anything on other players islands
@limber ginkgo oh
i just remodeled an empty area of my island! it leads to my botanical garden & gift shops
also redid the area next to my museum to be my stargazing area 
Can’t wait till hydrangea or azaleas are in season they are so pretty
@wooden nimbus whats the QR code for that blanket and tassles? It looks so nice!
Take a little path down from my crescent moon lake to get your fortune told by Mr gnomy ✨ spent all night on this area and I'm so happy with it 🔮🏹💞
I love it!!
my entrance area ^^ im trying to go for cottagecore or something close to that >~<
Made a bee farm for maple even though she doesn’t live on my island 😭
Thoughts?
i love it !! looks so cute🥺 @tepid marten
Thank you! :D
@tepid marten I would add some more flowers but it looks super cute and hopefully u get maple if you’ve been wanting her!:)
Thanks and good idea! 🙂
Hey ! I don't know where I suppose to post this but I would like to make a mill on my island but I don't know which furniture use to make it, I was thinking about a silo with a wind turbine behind, it seems good? And if you have any idea I will take it aha 🙂
this is pretty much the right chat. Idk, a mill is kinda hard to make in the game. if you mean a windmill then what you described sounds like the closest you could get to it. A watermill could be possible but I really wouldn't know how
So I've restarted my island, I hated where my resident services was. This is an old pic, i now have all my villagers, both shops, and museum.
Where is the best place to start? I have ideas of what I want done (none of my houses yet so feel free to drop some) just dont know if i should start in back or front...
@tardy dove u should probably start in the front at the entrance or start figuring out where u want ur villagers to be placed so it’s easier to terraform without them being in the way
@idle shadow I have no clue where I want them 🥴😵
@tardy dove do u have a theme or like a color scheme for ur island?
anyone got any ideas how to resolve a train track? im thinking of doing one near the back of my island as kind of a lower forced perspective deal, but i have no idea how to make it stop naturally?
@wanton oyster ive seen people use stone arches as tunnels to kind of end it
@wanton oyster make the train tracks go into simple panels that look like a tunnel I’ve seen it before and looks pretty natural
ohh, ofc ! i didn't even think of that. ill try those out, tyvm you two ! 💞
everyone here has a beautiful island UwU feel the love
i know
i didn;t really think through when I placed down plots so I have to move a ton and its expensive 😦
It’ll be worth moving it all though
@idle shadow I want to go for a more natural theme. But want to have my "city" where my shops are
Can anyone recommend how to cutie this lil zen zone up? Thank you!
@tardy dove if u want to make ur villagers have a natural theme making them spread out is ur option but if u want them to have a city theme u should put the them in a neighborhood it’s all ur choice if u want natural or city tho!
@idle shadow thank you so mhch for the advice!
@night glade zen cushions to sit on
@woven drift ooh how do I find the recipe for that? I feel so dumb 🤭
@woven drift ahhh okay, thank you!
@night glade I get out of work in about 5 hours then I can order you some if you want
I’m also thinking of adding more fencing and changing the colour of the pond
@woven drift wow that’s such a kind offer, thank you!
Hello I’m stuck in my island layout and I wanna change my neighborhood but I don’t have any ideas what to do with it
@mossy glade there's some neighbourhood layouts in the pins, or you could do a more natural placement around the island depending on what you're doing with your island as a whole
Or at least I thought there was
@night fjord ok and I don’t have a ideas for my island theme
okay, well just to give my approach, I have mine placed around my island and they have their own areas that are extensions of what their inner houses look like/what I think they'd like
I just
Ok
Decorate individual areas once I get ideas... my island is still a train wreck
lmao, same. Mine's a constant work in progress and replacing sections/moving them to make better things
Decorate individual areas once I get ideas... my island is still a train wreck
@frigid halo that’s how my island was till I found a theme I can work with well
I have an idea for my island theme but I don’t know if I should do it
Do share
My idea for my island is fishing
I’m not sure how you’d execute that
Fishing would probably be decent for an area, I don't know about a whole fishing based island
Me too
there are plenty of fishing related items/furniture
I get it
you could do a marine based island though, so maybe tropical/ water based kind of stuff
I like that idea
then farm the fishing jamboree for a bunch of fishing related items, use mermaid stuff too
Ok
I think it's quite likely someone will have done that kind of theme too, so you could find some inspiration whenever you get stuck ^^
And I have the villager Eugene and I have a spot for him but I don’t know what kind of fencing to do for his house
hmmm. Depends. If you want to go for a set idea for his garden then you'll need specific fences, but if you're stuck for ideas, think about colours of their house and their interior
So if it's a country looking house, maybe use country fences or simple wooden, if it's a more beachy looking house then use bamboo fences, if it's a brick/stone house use brick/stone fences maybe
Ok!!!
I think you get the idea 
I do
The lattice fencing is also pretty nice with beachy houses btw
Any ideas for this empty spot?
I love using the lattice fencing, it goes so well with a lot of themes
@glass coral Cafe?
@sharp jetty Sure!
Create the idea of getting a cup of coffee after shopping~^^?
@glass coral maybe a small stall/market area? or some machines like snack machines and stuff, or I have a playground next to my nooks'
Kk uhh
quite a lot will work there even if it's a small area
I need more wood QwQ
the cafe idea is also good though ^^
I have more Softwood and Hardwood more than Wood
yeah, a lot of stuff uses normal
I tend to run out of that and hardwood because I use darker furniture for my island
Oooh
Alr so i need help making a cool island, anyone have ideas?
low key entrance but I love it
@fossil crater
Try designing your island according a theme you like?
There's a lot of themes to go at. Cottage core, fairy core, gothic, marine, tropical, city, medieval
take your pick, or even make a new one like the vaporwave one I just saw yesterday ^^
the thing is i dont have a specific theme i like- thats why im just asking for ideas. idc what theme it is--
Yup! I have som customating patterns, if you befriend Sable in the fall she’ll give you patterens and there’s one called Cool. You can use that.
oooh and western + egyptian too
I didn't have a theme for my island either, I just fully designed one small area and ended up doing everything else in theme with that
Well, idk I'd suggest just making areas you like first rather than coming up with a theme for the whole island
Same, I was trying to plan a fairycore island but it didn’t really work
I feel the pain for the fairycore island oof
mine's honestly just a mix of stuff I like
Same
when u realize u gotta remove all the paths that you just put down-
bruh
restarted my island and look how PERFECT this island is. the little heart pond
mine's honestly just a mix of stuff I like
@night fjord that’s how I started now I have a village/small city
tbh I didn't find much joy in island planning? once you design one area, you'll just expand from there
Agree ^
@frank mist I have a heart pond too! :D
if i have pears and ugly villagers imma be sad
I had one but it was blocking the entrance so I had to get it removed
like these are 3 completely different areas on my island. I just skip between themes depending on what villagers live there
I like your fountain plaza, I've gone for something p similar
I have way too many fruit trees on my island qvq
apples
yeah, it's a little different now. I had a normal light theme version of that fountain area too
Eee I need bells but I don’t have Nintendo Switch Online to get some bellssss
agnes and some green koala
oooh very nice
cool im happy with my new island, apples, agnes and lyman
tbh I like that one over mine, but mine is for a specific purpose
@frank mist you’re lucky that you didn’t get Muffy and Sprocket with Peaches ( the only good part )
@molten vessel Please do tell me you still have the authors code for the brick path
@sharp jetty yeah lemme see if I can find it
edited my canal a bit 🥴 i’m so tired of working on this area lmao
💕
my plain island qvq
didn't know lightposts came in that shade
lightposts? you mean streetlamps?
💀 i’m so happy i dont have to trade for those lol
@fossil crater still a nice path though ^^ the area could maybe just use some work like putting the flowers in garden beds and benches and light sources
would use if my custom designs weren't already full
yes but i need to:
relocate all the paths
take out all the flowers
remove the bridges
ect
it fits my island well cuz I wanted darker colours but not too natural
well yes, but y'know, you'll get there ^^
So I got Sherb to move in-
nicuuuu
triangle head
Aww cutie
All I just need is to get Sprocket, Muffy, Julian, and Elvis out.
Yes but new ppl will move in q-q
Dizzy’s yard, pretty epic if you ask me
Julian was a first campsiter and Elvis was a random
I needa get rid of Hippeux, Sly, Wolfgang, and Iggly
I kinda want to change ketchup with filbert but Idk if I want to because I love ketchup 😅
Should I change up Sherb’s yard?
Yeah sure
Ight so while im removing the path, anyone got some cool paths for me to use? (Must be some sort of wood path. Exaple: logs, tracks, ect
Or dirt paths/leaf paths)
Ping me and send them in #path-codes if u have any
@fossil crater i sent you one not sure if it will ping you though
Change sherbie boi’s yard. Adding more details and snowflakes. My island rating may be poo poo because the dropped items but it’s cute 😾
Aweee
Hahah feels I have a crafting area (full of dropped materials and tools) and it was hard to keep the rating at 5 stars with having it😅
tbh I’m getting happier and happier about my villagers, I know I say this everytime but they might be permanent
Only one villager I might change the rest are 100% permanent
I have bones so I’m vibing 
i hate life q-q
oof
I gotta remove all of that
Ooooof
Redd's beach 🏴☠️
Ouch..
EEE SHERB WOKE UP! #acnh-media
@fossil crater Unrelated, but loving the name XD
rip
Eeeek just A thousand more bells and I can buy the natural ramp I have
You got this champ
Thanks
does anyone have any tips for islands with a lot of raised ground? (i forget the proper word for it lol) I am making my island have a lot of these hills and I just wanted to know if anyone had some general tips about landscaping/ do's and donts! If you're readinn this I hope you have a lovely day!
AAAAAA AAAAA AAAAA I GOT ENOUGH BELLS TO GET ITTT
I don’t fully understand what you mean by this, but I’ve got a bunch of cliffs on my island, and my favorite thing to do as far as terraforming is to make cute little hidden pathways @solid fox
oh that sounds really cute! And idk if even I fully knew what I was aksing lol. I have a lot of cliffs that I am using to shape pathways and I guess I was wondering if anyone had any tips? I realize that makes no sense now LOL
I can show you how I shaped my neighborhood area if you’d like?
oooo! if you would like to I would love to see it!
Sure! I haven’t redone the right side of my island and excuse the drawing lol
omg that looks so great!
I made some little nooks in the cliffs to give it a closed in feel, as well as some spots where you have to jump to get to certain locations :)!
oh thats so cool! I think ur island looks really cool!
Thanks so much! Hopefully that helps a bit as far as terraforming ideas lol
