if u have space, u can probably install a fairy light pattern to put on simple panel

#

Fun times having to get rid of all these white spaces from deleted custom designs 😣 and I have these custom designs in so many places around my island 😂

sturdy jackal
#

@burnt osprey Make the pattern entirely see through and they will prevent weeds!

burnt osprey
#

@sturdy jackal good idea but still need to replace them all with the new custom design

sturdy jackal
#

@burnt osprey OOOH Oof.

I guess you still need the white design @burnt osprey ?

so i finally finished off my entrance(cottagecore and if you have any suggestions for it i’d be happy to hear them ) and im super happy with it but i’m not sure if i want to do the cottagecore for the entire island so does anybody have any suggestions of a theme that would go well with the cottagecore but is a lot more simple?

brittle isle
#

you could just do a natural theme i guess?? or mix cottage core with another theme

sullen crown
#

i’ve seen cottagecore mixed with rustic and industrial themes

@sturdy jackal

Sorry to hear about that. But to make the most of it, try to incorporate as many zodiac items as you can and maybe use some other white/ gold items to make up for it. Maybe also add in some white/yellw/gold/pink flowers to accent it better.

Also you could break up the whole are making a dedicated place for each of the imtes and making each area themed around it.

I hope this helps

  1. they made the white incline work
  2. desperately needed this for my island (everything is diagonal lol)
sturdy jackal
#

@errant otter I'll keep those suggestions in mind! Thanks :)

warped umbra
#

Pro tip: best way to make bright colors work is to provide contrast. so stone and white incline with a normal fence would also work. just leaving my two cents on the matter.

Any good ideas on how to design rocky areas on beach?

eager burrow
#

@tawdry hornet do you mean putting rocks like garden rocks on the beach or designing the rocks that are default on the beach?

bronze glacier
#

I think they mean the second one

#

For designing rocks on beaches I have a rock that has a laundry area, a cafe and a spot to sit and relax

eager burrow
#

I have a dj dance club, a golden throne seating area, a bonsai nursery, and a shrine

Thank you both 💖

#

Love the green benches in there
@austere fog I'm not sure if i'll stick with the green ones yet or replace them with the blue and pink ones

silver sorrel
#

i like how people are slowly transitioning to the more foresty nature themes, like not even cottagecore just like...forest

austere fog
#

Ooo I am a big fun of rainbow and colorful areas, so I really like the pink and blue ones isahearts i would say try it and see how you feel about it, but right now, the green benches work beautifully and blend really well with the other colors you have in this area (the reds and yellows)

stable oasis
#

Ooo prettyyy

#

Hi do lol

bleak wind
#

@austere fog The pink and blues ones are what I have in my ATM machine, so I might have them on display because...colourful, duh...and then I'll have the green ones blend in with the forest areas 🤔

austere fog
#

That’s a good idea!

bleak wind
#

🥺

safe thistle
austere fog
#

I like the look of weeds, so I would add a few weeds here and there

#

a drinking fountain somewhere would also look nice

#

@safe thistle More flowers maybe or, as @austere fog said, the weeds look nice right now 🙂

Autumn weeds are so pretty isahearts

Finally finished terraforming my entrance, forest theme/cottage core. Thoughts? 😊 Not decorated yet, but will post when its done. Just wanted to know if you guys think this is a good entrance? Or if you got any pointers. 😊

#

OOOOH! I love the way the water flows!!!

#

I kinda wanna just do all palm trees on my island but you need cedar trees 😦

woven drift
#

@errant otter Tysm, I love it too 😭 so happy with it.

rare basin
#

@solar saddle Not sure if you're referencing the cottage core style or something else, but you can fill your island with coconut trees (mine is). Just need to lay down a square of sand path before you plant.

red folio
#

I’m going for a tropical theme which means mostly coconuts and the occasional fruit tree but that really limits what I’ll have cause I won’t have many non fruit trees let alone pines

rare basin
#

This is true. I set up a farm/orchard on mine where my fruit trees live. Also the highest inaccessible peak is where I'm keeping my cedar, hardwood, and money trees. It's to the very back of the island so unless you know where to look, they don't show. The rest of my island is coconut trees with some bamboo groves more inland.

red folio
#

Yeah I might just keep some by my house but it does make it more difficult that’s for sure though I’m liking how it’s coming

rare basin
#

Now that I think of it, I may try scaling down how many fruit trees I have to just one of each fruit, and just store fruit for later if I ever want to plant more. Would give me more slots for bamboo and coconuts without harming my 5 star status. It's hard to fill big spaces though! I'm slowly running out of ideas that fit my tropical/realistic theme.

red folio
#

I filled mine with water lol

rare basin
#

Haha! If I had the fortitude I could try for a volcano but man that's a lot of reworking my island from its current state

red folio
#

Mines 1/3 water lol

ionic raft
#

hi friends! so i'm working on planning out my glamping site with a beach bonfire hangout area. do you think the tent should be closer to the beach? once i place the tent (campsite), the next thing i'm placing is an incline to a waterfall viewing area 🙂

rare basin
#

@red folio current water on my island. I don't think it's a lot of water but that's like looking at your big dog and thinking they're the size of a terrier.

red folio
#

Oh I have way more lol

That looks really good

Yours is nicely planned out though

wow!

#

@ionic raft I personally love campsites on or close to beaches. Depending on what you're including though for glamming, I would leave enough space for non-beach friendly furniture for in front of the campsite if you had any you were planning to use like an outdoor kitchen

#

And thanks! None of it was planned. It's all been a work in progress from the beginning but it's starting to really come together after hundreds of hours

#

Wish I planned my island lol prolly would have been faster 😂

@rare basin ooh thank you! i wanted basically just like a big cute bohemian chill spot with a blanket and a bunch of plants and cushions 🙂 and over to the right, a little table and chairs in the lavender field, so since that's going to be horizontal, the campsite can go closer to the beach!

i think flower fields look really pretty on grass though tbh

arctic agate
#

tysm!!!

prime falcon
#

Fields, sure, but little garden/patches should be on dirt. I have both :3

#

When it's a big area, I use grass

rare basin
#

@ionic raft Ooo I like that! Yeah close to the beach as possible. You'll get the added bonus of height differences between furniture on the sand and the campsite on the land

slim topaz
#

is there a good way to do like a fork in the road without using custom paths? i feel like it just looks blocky and weird, but i want to save space on designs so im not using "the path" rn

@slim topaz here's a really really good guide on laying paths! https://twitter.com/sleepyluck/status/1288499121528029189

there are three main path styles that i tend see: base path style, custom path style, eclectic style. while you can easily mix between all three whenever you like, i'll speak about them individually and how to use each style.

my style is a mix between base and custom.

#

@ionic raft Ooo I like that! Yeah close to the beach as possible. You'll get the added bonus of height differences between furniture on the sand and the campsite on the land
@rare basin thank youuu! the land in this spot is so oddly shaped, i'm trying to figure out a good spot 😦

slim topaz
#

thanks so much!

rare basin
#

I've struggled with laying paths too. I'm relying heavily on a scattered stone custom path for my island because of how frustrating it was to do diagonals. Though maybe be able to pull it off by having your separate paths go vertical a few squares, horizontal, vertical, etc. to get where you want. If you can hide some of the weird bends with trees/buildings/furniture/bushes, it may look more natural?

ionic raft
#

i'm playing with the idea of doing the in game dirt path as a main walkway and little wooden planks as secondary walkways!

slim topaz
#

yes im thinking of downloading a more city like path, the diagonals really mess me up too. i don't love that they don't show on map though

rare basin
#

Right! Though if that were the case most of my island would be brown

red folio
#

I use a sand path and it’s made my island so much more tropical looking

alrighty what i'm going to do is place the campsite and cross my fingers and hope i can make that weird patch of land work with the furniture 🙂

austere fog
#

I think you could make it work, yes!

vital ridge
#

you probably can. If ur unsure u should do the pathing and furniture first and see how it'll look.

ionic raft
#

yeah you're right. i was avoiding it because my pockets are full of flowers lol but you're right. i need to visualize it first to make sure before i place it 🙂 the reason i flattened in the first place was because i wished i planned more/used an actual design process (i do this for a living)

Lol I'm working on my island too and it's as flat as plank

@covert summit oooh yes for sure! don't worry, i refuse to leave empty space 😉 it'll be all decorated. i'm just so slow, so when i actually finish an area, it's a huge celebration for me hahaha

Anyone got any farm themed yards for their villagers? Im tryna do sherbs yard and make it farm themed

I second the barrels and boxes and the big bug enclosure you get from bug-off events. Make the center a clutter of recently delivered goods or goods to be exported. Can include fruit.

a well could look nice too!

I have oil barrels and rock DIY's I can send you if you're goint that route

Ahhh yes a well may fit well, I’ll try the trees and barrels first etc and see how that looks. Think I’m lacking on the oil barrels though

@red folio id say maybe do a 3x3 cliff and a tree ontop for some height

@covert summit I think the wooden incline would look really nice with his house

Ooh yeah true, I didn’t think of that

i did the same idea for erik and i gave him a natural ramp since it was in the mountain area

I like natural inclines but that’s just me

I did one of those wooden ramps next to his house too, I think it matches really well @covert summit

@limber ginkgo i want to do that so bad for coco's graveyard but i didn't know about the photos in the beginning so ima just grind those nmts

I got my first photo before my first moveout so I kept it in my mind with every villager since, only one that moved out without giving their photo was Ankha

also i only had dobie, tammi, renee, t-bone, and now stitches leave my villager

@woven drift if you want a neighborhood, here's a good guide to help you plan the structure 👇 if you want them scattered, I would start sectioning off general areas where you'd like your villagers to be and decorating around it

woven drift
#

Thank you so much!

plain forge
#

@zenith ginkgo rather than flattening your island and getting overwhelmed by the giant space (as many people do), I'd suggest to work on one section at a time. For instance I always start on my entrance and work my way upwards, so I'd only destroy/flatten the bottom, or 30-40% of my island and start building

primal tartan
#

what should i do for dizzy and sherbs yard i have a quite large space

#

and doms is empty too idk what to do

#

and i wanna redo lollys it’s so bad, but idk what to do someone help

idle shadow
#

@primal tartan for sherbs yard I’ve seen people make the moon furniture (nova lights, moon, and crescent moon chairs) with overall blue/white furniture and flowers but I’ve also seen people make playgrounds. For dizzy I would make elephant slides and kidcore items. For lolly I would put the cat tree, cat grass, and maybe the pet bed with gray/pink furniture, and for Dom I would make him like a pink aesthetic gym!

primal tartan
#

omg wow tysm! wow that is awesome i’ll see what furniture i have. could someone list like 3 different types of flowers for lolly, dizzy, sherb, and dom? ty guys!

#

and what gym items are pink though idk where to find them

bleak wind
primal tartan
#

oh wow that’s cute

idle shadow
#

@primal tartan Idk if there are many pink gym items but maybe make it white and pink? Also for sherb I say hyacinths and mums, for dizzy windflowers, lolly maybe lillies, and for Dom maybe like hyacinths again

primal tartan
#

yeah that’s awesome! i have a main flower for my island being the white hyacinth so i’ll add those too. tysm!

idle shadow
#

@primal tartan also the elephant slide, scooters, and climbing walls have pink variation btw for Dom but I’m not too sure about any other gym equipment

primal tartan
#

oh wow yeah! maybe for dom i’ll see other ideas, gym equipment isn’t really the best for a pink aesthetic

bleak wind
#

@primal tartan According to Nookpedia Dom's favourite colours are 'red and colourful', so maybe try searching for furniture like that?

rare basin
#

@primal tartan Exercise ball, Kettle ball, protein shake mixer and mountain bike for fitness items

bleak wind
#

I personally always try to decorate my villagers gardens according to their favourite style/colour

#

And I often place similar items outside their house as they have inside their house

#

Rather than going off of their personality type alone

#

But that's just me 🤷‍♀️

yeah i was thinking that but having more cute sky blue items outside would be repetitive

@woven dew there's the pilot uniform, shades, and hat from ables and custom designs you can put in panels or shop signs; you can also make it into a pilot/plane command center by putting desks & office items like computers! @icy flint has one on their island that you can search up from their previous posts

@weak bone yeah good idea. Or if you have a picture of your old map we could help you terraform it back?

weak bone
#

@knotty wing are other people able to terraform on your island?

knotty wing
#

No 😭

#

I just meant help you plan it out, work out how many spaces etc

weak bone
#

@knotty wing I’m going to try to terraform each place at one time, instead of trying to do it all at once. Like start with my entrance and decorate and everything and then move to the nooks & ables, maybe it’ll help keep me from being overwhelmed.

errant otter
#

@weak bone I might consider doing that. Just to get a fresh perspective and such.

#

I feel like I've kinda plateaued in the game and the best part of it was setting up and terraforming the whole island.

#

Maye I'd move the whole neighborhood somewhere else. Focus on either 3 small spaces for the whole island insted of my poorly thought up scattered thoguhts

#

But I always find myself unhappy with most of my other ideas.

weak bone
#

@errant otter im not good at imagining how@to design a spot so I’m going to use a lot of inspiration from other but I’m hoping it’ll make the game a lot of fun for me, I Leveled it all Bc I felt like I got burnt out on the options I had, so hopefully i find a new love for it!

Either it's due to the flowers I've placed or of the poor use of my custom paths

I completely demolished my old island

im going to move all building to the beach

#

and then my imagination takes control

I used island designer to help for mine

is it hard to use?

Not really, just make sure u save what u did

This what i have atm lol
@dreamy zealot hey if you're still looking for ideas you could add fencing that leads to a bridge or add little falls/cliffs beside your entrance so it doesn't seem so empty! You could also do a little airport waiting area thing with chairs and a stall/clock/vending machines
You could also do a field of flowers and a fountain

tired breach

im shookth

wispy jay
#

@urban venture THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!!

#

Hey guys! I'm kinda new to this channel :)
These days i've been working on terraforming my whole island... i didn't like the urban theme and so i decided to make something that looked natural!
Sadly i'm not good at waterscaping, so i would be thankful if someone can give me some ispo :)

Thank you!! ; _ ;

Amazing @urban venture !! peanutwoweyes

prime loom
#

@tired breach thank you,but i feel like its missing...something

icy flint
#

Sorry if it’s too late but for happy island designer I’d just recommend figuring out which block is which and take your time with it and have fun! Also, happy island designer is a great way to plan out sections for your island but also sometimes it won’t be 100% the same since you might wanna change things in a certain way while working on that section if that makes sense

#

@prime loom Any idea on what you wanna put on the left side? Was gonna suggest adding maybe some bushes and more trees so the fencing doesn’t look plain imo

tired breach
#

maybe a log stool

#

idk just saying

icy flint
#

@tired breach log stool and wild logs are a go to imo for forest areas as well as bamboos lol

prime loom
#

I dont think trees are the prob bc i used (basically) the same layout for faunas(imma post so u van see what i mean) area and i really liked the results of faunas yard,i jist feel like sherbs yard is a bit bland

tired breach
#

i dont know anything about decorating. Im going to start decorating in a week or so

#

anyone have tips on terraforming

icy flint
#

Wasn’t saying to add more trees but I was trying to maybe make a fence pattern like you did with faunas yard like 1 fence, then 1 bush and maybe a tree

prime loom
#

Ah ye, i tried that but not like full around his house,i dont really like how it looks but im gonna try it and see hownit looks :) thank u!

how do you guys know what to put everywhere?

It’s not done yet, probably 90% for paths and 50% for decoration and trees etc but here’s how my island is shaping up

I know it’s really nothing special but I worked so hard on this today

how do you guys know what to put everywhere?
@tired breach i usually base it off the villagers pure aethetic

Bad pic but I’m currently redoing kabukis place by adding a dojo and some bamboo trees

tired breach
#

how did you get so many diys

#

i literally dont get anything

prime loom
#

Like if its a very realistic/natury villager like fauna or beau etc i try and do a forest theme

red folio
#

Playing for a long time and you can get 3 a day from villagers crafting

tired breach
#

i seen a video and they said only 2...my life is a lie

icy flint
#

It also depends on the theme in my opinion since My theme is ruins/ abandon so I use certain items

tired breach
#

how did you guys know where to place your houses

left zealot
#

does anyone have a nice functioning orchard? i’m not sure how to set up my trees but my space is very large. i still want to be able to harvest the fruit and catch bugs on the trunk so not sure how to set it up maybe

U are guaranteed 4 diys a day, 1 beach bottle and 3 crafting villager

U can obviously get more from balloons and stuff

@left zealot if you have a lot of room maybe do 5 rows of a certain fruit tree (that’s what I did beginning of the game) but now I just have 3 trees in a triangle formation

@calm narwhal you have a lot of space I suggest maybe terraforming cliffs around the entrance so you can make it into a 2 way pathway one to the RS and the other tunnel to another place if that makes sense (can’t help much since I only have a short entrance haha)

Here is part of my island which could be a good entrance ! @calm narwhal

plain forge
#

This is my entrance, about 17 spaces away from airport (right under the dirt path), with a medieval theme going on. From your map it looks like you have a lot of space to do a variety of things; grand waterfalls, lots of cliffs, a separate plaza from the RS, etc! @calm narwhal

place furniture all over the place and you'll eventually get 3 stars, once you get terraforming you can clean it all up

@glacial narwhal From playing on my own time and blind. What I found out is that you need 10 villagers to get above 1 star. I also had no issue with the flowers because I had already begun breeding for hybrids, so that's an easy way to get the flowers. Fruit trees are great for adding more trees and it doesn't take a lot of furniture to reach the requirement from my own playtime

Huh. That's very interesting. From my talks with Isabelle she always said I was at 1 star and always said the island needed more villagers. Kept it clean, kept breeding flowers. wasn't cutting any trees down. Had furniture here and there. Even at 9 villagers, 1 star. But it's interesting to see that. Congrats on 4 stars btw. I can't stick to a single plan and I'm probably 2 or 3 stars right now with my half-destroyed island XD

lol 4 stars is going to take forever for me. i have so many dropped items

@uneven knot if you're interested, there's a island star guide in the pinned section of this channel! 8 villagers is required for 3 stars, but there are other requirements such as specific amount of unique furniture/flowers/trees etc 🙂
