there's several options. Try shrubs and see if it fits for you
if this helps, my island theme is horror/gore?
Try crescent moon chairs or shrubs, like someone else said
is it good?// what should i add to my farm?
Two new houses complete the landscape of Astérope 😊 Do you choose the resident for their houses too?
Finally got around to finishing this area, here's Felicity's garden! 
@zenith roost whats that path? it looks amazing
thanks! 
my island looks like trash
One person’s trash is another’s treasure. Don’t compare your work to other people’s in a way that is degrading to your own. Each person’s style is unique and that is exactly what makes a person’s island so wonderful!
I’m quite positive that your island is lovely.
what should i do to fill this area?
@lethal cipher stall with espresso machine and something else. make it a café patio with flowers, shrubs, iron garden chairs and tables
my island looks like trash
@high vapor your perception might be eschewed by unwarranted feelings of worthlessness. we're happy to lend an ear, but if possible you should reach out to a RL friend as well
im rly rly struggling with teraforming and honestly, i respect u guys so so much for how talented you all are.
Does anyone have any ideas for shops because I'm running out so far I have a bookstore a boutique and a Castle for this area
i feel like i'm stuck with my island, i want to make it kind of japanese/korean inspired but also just cute and fairycore and i can't figure out how to combine the two
I'm thinking of starting from the beginning.. completely resetting my island and actually planning it so it will look decent.. :(
i thought about that too, but i have almost all my dreamies and i dont want to lose them :((
@slow prawn I thought about resetting my town multiple times because I didn't like where my resident service was but I kind of just learned to work around it
maybe instead of completley restarting just take down a section and redo it
@woven drift plant shop maybe?
I really really like the theme in the update video, does anyone have any tips how I can make my island look like it?
@woven drift maybe a bakery? There are a lot of cake-related items
@dusky solar I actually have a bakery but that's somewhere else
@west sparrow I was thinking about making a plant store but I feel like I don't really need one cuz I have a greenhouse and a community garden
@slow prawn I thought about resetting my town multiple times because I didn't like where my resident service was but I kind of just learned to work around it
@woven drift I have redone my island multiple times but I am not happy with it :( currently designing my island on a website.. maybe i could do better idk
zzzz
I don't know where i should write this but i need help starting off terraforming my island to get 5 star like where should i start?
@slate merlin I would recommend starting from the entrance it sets the theme for the rest of your town
ok
@slow prawn yeah I know how that feels at the beginning I didn't really know what kind of theme I wanted to do so I will always redecorate but I recently found the kind of style I like maybe you just need a little bit more inspiration :)
Anyone got any ideas how I can make my whole island look like this theme?
what do you mean ? like a town cottagecore theme? @blissful lichen
@woven drift I guess I do 😅
there are a LOT of islands like that, id recommend checking out #dream-addresses🌜 and looking up keywords such as "town" or "cottagecore", or look through this channel for areas people have decorated that match those themes @blissful lichen
Lily's outdoor classroom is finally complete
Woo hoo!
Oh thank you so much I haven't thought about that @west sparrow
@bleak wind aww that's adorable
Thank you so much 🥺
Half the terraforming for the park finished 😄
My castle 🙂
Ready for tomorrow 
I just got terraforming finally! Still a wip but wanted tk show how its already changed. (Bridge is going to be removed tomorrow). What do yall think?
Just a freindly witch greeting those who enter her domain🥰
Hey does anyone have Tipps, Pics etc for when the town hall is really close to the Airport? Finding it hard to design my entrance 🙈
Built a quick place for pumpkins 
looks nice!!!
Hey anyone is welcome to see my island!! Just updated!! DODO CODE: HPTSG
Just finished my autumn café 🥵
Got the idea from pinterest
Omg the little wagon is cute
I got the stall and leave patterns from others, they aren't mine
leaf*
Ty. I have a spare wagon if you want it
I need some help planning out and building this space. I wanna make it a space/star fragment themed area with statues but idk where 2 start. I can dm u the items I’m tryna use. Plz dm me 🙂
My stepmom decided I was seriously lacking a Godzilla on my island so she sent me one
I made a super tiny little farm for the pumpkins that can only even hold 8 plants
just restarted, should i keep this layout? it’s fully inline
it’s very to the left if you get me
I'm a new player working on my entrance atm - what do you think? Resident services is close to the airport so I'm kinda limited
My WIP beach area
does anyone have any ideas for a zen/jp entrance? I'm struggling to find something that works
@west olive
that's so pretty ahh + chevre living her fantasy
@spark dune thank youuu 🥰
I have to do work on my island but idk where to put everybody’s houses and shops. I love redoing it but idk where to put anything lol
just restarted, should i keep this layout? it’s fully inline
@zenith steppe While I do think in line is pretty nice, this would be too left for me. I prefer the RS middle ish because well, it's the centre of all. But up to you
yeah i ended up resetting
Personally I like it. Redd is in a good spot, pier too. Only problem may be the peninsula and the river mouth on the left. Besides that I like it
Edit : nvm lol
it would annoy me too much and i’d regret it lol
i want to do a kind of mountain behind my rs so it wouldn’t work
anyone have ideas for a pumpkin patch area?
im struggling with layout ideas and could use some help
Starting to halloweenify my plaza
Island progress since my second flattening last friday 😄
Picked up an inspiration entrance for my museum
What item should I put outside of mallary's house?
Does anyone have anything Christmas related
@void verge what's the path you're using under the streetlights? 🥺
^^
@hearty ingot bots automatically take the gift in 0.01 seconds, so youre wasting money. if you wanna give out nitro you can set up a giveaway by DMing @neon knot, or DMing a random person the gift
Hey hey hey! @manic sigil, please send me a Direct Message to contact the staff!
@manic sigil It's a joke link
ok then just dont do that
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/676035822255996938/760564578190622761/image.png where should I put my villagers
You want to make a residential area?
like a neighborhood of the houses
Yeah
yeah an area where all the houses are
But where do you think I should put that
that looks good 👀
Where should I put a residential area https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/676035822255996938/760564578190622761/image.png
its honestly up to you and what theme ur going for
At least tell me where would you put it pls
I mean on my island im planning to scatter them out but a lot of other people put them in grid formations its literally just personal preference
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/681277827244621855/754121445822562355/e2e34b4c710c6b7d1ad209d0f2fc0832.jpg. Here is some neighborhood layout ideas
Thanks
Looking for an island designer, will pay up to 1000 NMT, please DM! 🙂
My 5 star island map layout, northwest residential area is based on tsushima before wars, and south east residential is a modern northern japan style, the rest of the areas is a ceramic styled park garden
I need some help designing a certain waterfall kinda thing and was hoping someone here might be able to assist?
It's my frist time redoing my island from the basic terrain it already had and this is so far my 5th or 6th area I believe. Does it look decent? 😭
Different angle :l still looking trashy
I wanna do my pumpkin patch here but idk now, its in the middle of the flower garden :/
@lethal thunder if you're set in keeping the two together, you can move all the flowers in front while putting the pumpkins in the back, and then separate the patch with hedge
This is what I’m planning
i love that layout!!! that's so cute! @royal widget
Im actually thinking of moving the flowers to the back and putting the patch up front?
Awww tysmm 😭 I just restarted my game and that means a lot
can the airport really be that far to the left? i haven't seen one that far left personally
Really? Even my old island was like that
@royal widget Honestly inspiring me to do something similar. My map is a mess rn and needs alot of work, but I like your idea for that since mine is similar styled!
either way works morgan lol 
@flat lily ayyyyy nice 
I think most ppl just prefer somewhat centered or right-leaning airports bc the RS is seen as the central location (or bc handedness lol) so we don't notice those RSs on the left side
@plain forge i just set up the plan for my swamp do you think it'd be best if i put a pattern underneath for it to show on my map? feel like it would look awkward since my main path is transparent
also #shortentrancegang thats why lol
What's the pattern for your swamp? I feel either way would work personally bc most of my map now is green and having patches of brown looks kinda aesthetic @icy flint
oh thats amazing
Yeah you can do some nice things with paths, I just wish you could plant flowers on custom designs
this is the pattern (screenshot of the pattern for reference) @plain forge
@icy flint oooo ok I vote no path underneath bc the design is really curvy and the in game paths would look weird
Maple's house near garden wondering if I should make it my pumpkin patch
yeah thats what i was thinking since it'd be weird having 3/4 of my map not covered then one completely covered
Excited to see your swamp!! 
@terse vale oooh! I think taking some of the left fencing off and making a little farm/pumpkin patch would be adorable!
@royal widget it looks cute, but where's the river's source?
oh i love the idea of a pumpkin patch mixed with a bee area!
Ooh, yeah!
Please tell me what you think about my twin hearts ponds, I’m having second thoughts about something, I wanted them to be symmetrical but slightly different from each other
anyone have an Idea what to put in this large path area. Trees were there before but was hard to see where to go
My map of my island for my Halloween town so far
Idk what to do , all the back of my island is empty
So does anyone have any good ideas to take up a ton of space?
forest with lots of waterfalls and the like
maybe a big pond with a little picnic area in the middle
What else should I add to my cafe?
some plants? should look good with some decorative furniture in the back but idk what that would be
@midnight hamlet potted plants, vending machines, trash cans, serving carts, a small kitchen, a bike, coat hanger or umbrella stand, shelves, etc.
@barren mesa thank you so much for that photo! i've been looking for something like this for a few days! you're awesome 😄
Hm, what's the better way to make a spooky house... this one? (house in back)
Or this one? (house in neighborhood, but spooky on the inside)
Also didn't mean to spoiler the first picture.
id say the second one
Hmm. Yeah, cuz for the first there'd probably just be a staircase where the second house is and lead back to a little recessed area to put the house. But the second one is...so much less of a headache to build so I'm all for that. xD
Yeah! and the first one looks kinda modern zen vibe, not very spooky, the second one reminds me of the pink palace from coraline lol
Oh! Well I'll be changing the outsides
@sour sluice if you lose it again just check the pins in this channel
I'm talking purely based on placement, I'm heavy into terraforming atm. It would actually be the second house, just in the first house's location.
does anybody have any houses/yards they have right at the corner of their island next to the beach? like on the green part but right next to the beach? i wanna make a yard for del but i cant really figure out sizing/vibe/etc
You can technically ask Nook to move a house, then pay for it, carry it over, and imagine it yourself, and then cancel and go back to nook and cancel the move and you'll get refunded
Which sounds like an ideal solution for you, unless you're looking for folks with a fully decorated house and yard!
Anyone of you guys have cottage core villager house ideas?
Anyone have any ideas for house to make a small forest
Can you guys show how you put your museum? I’m looking for ideas
I'm about to plop my museum up on a hill, but I won't have pics of that for awhile. Dx Lemme see if I can get some now while my Tailor's is still in the right spot...
Well uhm I tried
@balmy valley this is how I did my museum! It has a staircase on either side to hide the fact it’s uneven
@heavy pivot for Zucker it’s not on the literal line of the beach, it’s a little farther back to fit everything else like the stalls. But I hope this helps!
@balmy valley This is what I did with mine. It's on a little peninsula. I put the coffee sign out there just waiting for Brewster to move in > 3> Sorry for the weather, thunderstorm. I plan on basically doing the same thing but with it on top of a hill
yeah something like that is better anyways, id like some room for stuff like that as well!! @vernal oxide
My place is also a bit torn up atm cuz I"m trying to raise the plaza to 2nd tier. Lots of terraforming
@heavy pivot I agree! But I love having houses right by beaches because you can also decorate the beach to go with the house! I did the same with merengue for her bakery and marshal’s cafe! I have a thing for putting seating on the beach 😂
That's a great idea, beaches are...really tough to do anything with.
yeah im currently redoing my island and my last super big thing is to do my villagers house placement and yards and stuff, and im leaving the beach right for last cause a. im using it as flower storage and b. it just seems like it'd be easier to build it around everything else
I've made no plans for villager yards yet other than giving Ankha a little desert around her house and that worries me. Hopefully it'll turn out alright, somehow
Any ideas for my peninsula area? Was going to leave lighthouse and work with it, but idk how!
i just dont really know how big i want them or how to place them out, ive b een using the pinned ideas in here a lot but they just arent clicking ig lmao, i really like getting fence heavy which kinda messes up my spacing and room
Yeah, fences do that. Mine are mostly free-ranged with a super claustrophobic walled-in neighborhood are. People are actually probably gonna come in and be like "Oh no this is so ugly there's no room!" so I'm gonna have to spook up the general neighborhood area or somethin. Hm.
and i just wanna be 100% sure i know where im putting a house because i dont time travel and i dont wanna spend 50235923 bells and 2 weeks moving stuff and then not like it and have to completely redo it anyways
@gentle hollow I dedicated a section of land as the desert and put her house inside a bazaar so she has stuff to do! Good luck on building 😃
Ooh that's a fun idea, maybe I should go all in on that! Hmm!!
@gentle hollow @vernal oxide thank you for showing me!
Yes, I love this area bc it's so different from the rest of my island haha
yeah thats super cool!!
wowsers that's dope!!
tofu so cute what the heck
Tyy 
Oooh that's delightful! Yeah I think that's the thing, my tiny little desert is super lame, I should really commit to it. Maybe I should just move her way up north. This entire area's still undecided, I could just make it a big ol desert
aww ty Maru 
Map progression so far 🙂 Flattened everything last friday and am branching out
What should I do with this smol space 🤔 I might move my campsite in with fence and decorations but I suck at decorating so I dunno-
Time to move lolly house. Gonna put on the beach for now, feel bad for her tho lol. Anyone here know what in line would be good for cottagecore? Also, what did you folks do with your villagers homes (only if it’s cottagecore)
See I have that currently too, but I was thinking of giving them yards now lol. Felt bad
yeah it sucks, cant exactly give them a space for their personalities tbh
Cause currently most of my island is rural, but I’m re-doing it cottagecore cause I really like this style
I'm still so sad they removed waterfall jumps. I love things that are both pleasant looking AND functional.
Farm area
Trying to do something for tangy currently, gonna give her a little yard with an orange tree or two and a little pond with a bench. Think it’d look cute for her
had tangy show up at my campsite but wasnt feeling it for some reason, did some hunting and ended up with chrissy instead
I found tangy while hunting for purrl. 336 tickets in I took tangy. Don’t regret it one bit
But I have purrl too now, so it worked out I guess. But I like tangy more than purrl actually lol
haha wow yh shes cool but just not what i was looking for
Well I’m currently (did it now) a cat island.
Some of them may be switched for none cats but I like a lot of these. Like may get Judy, might get a different normal or sisterly. Don’t know yet, like what I got now tho
ooo nice
Alright to the beach lolly goes for now
i loveeee judy, want her so bad
I had her. Kicked her out for purrl, kinda regret it. And I think Judy would look REALLY cute in a cottage core island
eek
i love lucky
He is cute too
Alright sorry lolly, I’ll find you a nicer spot soon lol
It’s alright tho I have a ton of bells and can tt
I’m struggling to decorate this space it’s quite small so I don’t know what to put there 😪
Who’s house is that
Tasha
Does anyone have anything for cider mill type area?
seems like good space for a mushroom garden lol idk
anyone got any ideas for cottagecore/natural/artisanal/witchy beach areas? i’m struggling aha! 🌸
Hmm, idk what the inside is Dan but maybe stuff that is like her?
She’s very goth
I'd say this is a good start for del's yard!!
I’m giving tangy a yard but idk if it’s too big
Idk, just gotta go with it I guess and see
And @heavy pivot it’s looking good for him
My apple orchard/pumpkin patch is all set for fall
"fall"ing in love w my pumpkin patch 🥰🧡
I love all the details in this area @crisp sand . So lovely and so well done!
Shop ideas?
I’m not happy with it but it will do before the mushroom stuff 😂
@raven sleet this is what I did with my shops!
Ooo, pretty!
I have a similar nooks, instruments out front because I don't know what else could be on display 😅
Hahaha I was joking around, whenever I ask my friends to help with ideas , they troll me saying to use mushrooms..ugh
@potent schooner You'll be able to get more opinions for these types of questions in #acnh-chat⛱️ !
Yes or no?
@fluid spindle ok thanks!
(Not mine got from google)
Yes
Okay Ty
Ugh I can’t put water on the ground right next to a tree. Who did this, it’s sooo annoying
Ugh I can’t put water on the ground right next to a tree. Who did this, it’s sooo annoying
@queen current I agree
I got a good photo of the rainbow by my wedding area
My little stable area ❤️
I feel like I should move some buildings around. Opinions?
Hello all! I have this pretty decent size area on my island that I was going to make a farm and forest area and I want to use this tree pattern for the area but need some inspiration! Anyone have any ideas?! ✨😁
@TheGothamEmpire we have the same layout. This is what I did, we have a lot of the same villagers too haha
Feel free to dream walk it
@hollow crypt You have Lobo! 🥺 Here's what I did for his exterior!
https://twitter.com/ChiefACNH/status/1310190496279531521?s=20
He doesn’t look like he likes it
According to his ac wiki page his skill is fishing & his goal is to be a park ranger! I gave him a little trail leading from another residential area to his house along with a river that goes around his house.
@odd walrus (pic not mine)
That’s gorgeous!
@plain forge that’s beautiful! That’s kinda what i was thinking! Gonna be difficult I feel 😭
thoughts on these WIP areas??
@odd walrus since you have such a large space to work with it won't be so bad! Def start terraforming the strip where the log will go and the work outwards on either side :) good luck~
Yesss! I’m just thinking where to place it @plain forge 🧐 I was thinking maybe leading to my campsite
a little wip 🥺
does anyone have a really cool maze on their island
Anyone's old map look similar to this? What does your map look like now?
@twin vessel my airport is closer to the right and RS but the other features are pretty similar in placement 
@twin vessel same layout. Check out the dream if u want
I would recommend dream walks and just checking out twitter and this feed for inspiring pics
I saw this pic in here
And I created this
I would first figure out if you want a home away from home in a more realistic way or a fantasy way. I love my island feeling like my own little town that could exist in this world. So I created spaces that feel real like a small garden next to me house and a small campground for the campsite.
okay yeah good thinking
can u show me your campgrounddddd
Does any have any ideas of what to place for a pokemon theme island, if so dm me ideas
pumpkin patch is ready. though it seems ... empty anyone know what i should add or redo?
Hi guys! if anyone has natural island layouts please send me inspiration pics! i reset my game
eeeeee 🎃 had to make a quick tiny plot for these pumpkins
i completely renovated this area of my island to be a pumpkin patch
ITS SO CUTE IM GOING TO CRY
So cute, idk where to put my pumpkin patch 😭
@dapper torrent my campsite~
i need ideas for tangy's house
@covert summit felt, I literally just made my plot where it was empty & I had no other plans for (hence why it's so close to the river lmaoo)
Yeah but it fits there perfectly
@true acorn this is what I did for tangys house since she loves music
guys please help me 🤧 i always have good ideas but then struggle with making them look good or flow together, what do i do 😭
@supple cipher same omfg
I usually have the opposite problem, they all work together, but it feels like theres no origionality!
@supple cipher The best advice I can give to you is messing around with the placements of items till they feel right to you. Also make sure you have a theme of what you what before decorating an area
do you guys think starting from a blank canvas (rid of rivers) makes it easier or harder ?
@dapper torrent Me?
i feel like they might be in the way^
For me personally it’s harder
Harder, you need to keep it as origional as possible imo
Dont freak out about poking corners, cause they can blend well into the enviroment if set up right
Made a pumpkin patch can't wait to get pumpkins in October!
This is my island now and this is my original map and it helped me build from there @supple cipher
Love the little isle!
@supple cipher I'd go to dream addresses and visit some natural islands for inspo & see how they make everything flow; for your other question abt flattening, I personally like to work in sections, but filling up the rivers and redoing it myself was better. Lots of ppl struggle with waterscaping and making their rivers natural looking tho so you should practice in smaller areas to see how you like the tool before filling up your whole river and start from scratch.
@plain forge you guys are all being super helpful, thank you 🥺💕
Yeah waterscaping definitely took me a while to get good at but I’m still not a pro at it but way better than when I first started
i have a double south river - so i feel like it’s awkward to connect them
If you’d like I could dm you my dream address for you to check out
@covert summit sure!
@supple cipher I have a double south river and for one of my river mouths I closed it up with a cliff and some decorations!
The Evolution of Rat Escape pt 2.
- Kinda completed map before reset
- Brand new map
- ALMOST DONE
Just learned to make a collage
"Tell me dear, can a heart still break once it stopped beating?"
Not the best looking patch in the world but PUMPKINS!
Yea, fences will make it look a little bit better
Now that I no longer have harvs fence, any other good fence ideas?
Barbed wire fence looks good
Hmm maybe. Doing a cottagecore island
I have a cottagecore/forestcore island and I use the barbed wire and the vertical boards haha
Oh vertical boards. Don’t have that one
I am having so many issues with setting up my island. All I know is I wanted to make an alantis type island with the main focus being the cherry blossom petal furniture.the houses are a bit everywhere because I plan to move them. >-<
You could do maybe like a central island with the shops and stuff, then other little islands branching off it for villager houses etc
Hmm, That was what I was doing with the bottom houses, but I don't want to get rid of the mountains/hills.
How are y’all getting these pumpkins? I updated but my nooks doesn’t have then 😭
I used to have a waterfall/lake here but it's being changed into a pumpkin farm
How are y’all getting these pumpkins? I updated but my nooks doesn’t have then 😭
@covert summit only way is to tt to october
Pumpkins aren't "available" until the first of October I think @covert summit
Ooooh makes sense lmao
GUYS HOW DO I GET A 3 STAR ISLAND I GOT A SWITCH AND THIS GAME LIKE A MONTH AGO AND I CANT GET THE TERRAIN THING
@austere ferry place a lot of furniture outside
im so sad cuz i just want my island to look pretty but i dont know what to do and im scared to start a garden and theres a lot of open space
Add a lot of flowers, make sure you have at least 8 villagers
i do have 8 villagers
im just so bad at making my island look good. its kinda overwhelming
Well then you need to have more furniture and flowers placed
lol yea
Literally place anything it doesn’t matter, you can remove it once you get 3 stars
ok cool thank u (:
Yw!
I'm looking for some inspo on what people did with their rock formations on the back of their beaches please!
this is the area near my house, any suggestions for the right side?
Any theme ideas?
I'm looking for some inspo on what people did with their rock formations on the back of their beaches please!
@tardy fern I have a little bug/fish research area
I'm looking for some inspo on what people did with their rock formations on the back of their beaches please!
@tardy fern i made a stranded astronaut!
@plain forge nice corpse bride reference (so long as I got that reference right lol)
Heres the area I created In regards to farming pumpkins. :)
heres that whole beach:D
@night fjord yes haha! I've had the outfit for a while now so the new skins were perfecttt
wow love that
thank you its one of my favorite parts of the island too!!
im so sad cuz i just want my island to look pretty but i dont know what to do and im scared to start a garden and theres a lot of open space
@austere ferry If i where you i would start some kind of theme, maybe like cottage core(just a suggestion) but definetly would have some kind of consistent color scheme
i decided to build my shopping center behind resident services ! will update you when i have something going (:
@strange acorn i thinking starting with your entrance is smart! sets up a themes for your island
Can anyone help me?
Would anyone be able to help me design my island??
can anyone help me get my last 2 villagers?
@tardy fern i just made a little area to make wishes when there are shooting stars~
I need help
Someone posted it in a Discord I'm in I want it so bad bro ;_;
Such a cutie in this outfit omg, I can’t handle it lol
Made myself a train station
Train station looks so good, I love the use of the green items to contrast! Ah! What is the code for the black door?
I’ll have to look it up for you. Not my custom design. One sec
should I keep this fence? i thought about putting the new fence but this matches the stone better?
Welcome to the jungle
@blissful schooner I think the fence matches pretty well!
@spark merlin I love how much greenery there is...
Yo! That looks so sick Rex!
@versed moat @sullen cloud Tysm! I’m honestly quite happy with how it turned out, considering messier designs like this is not my forte.
damn rex, is that a fossil in the back? if so, it looks great 
Man, I wish I could make layout as amazing as that
I think the pumpkin fence might match for an ‘outskirts’ feel
@blissful schooner I think you should try the pumpkin fence and do a side by side
@blissful schooner id try both fences and see which you like better? either way it looks great
@paper tendon yeah that’s the Brachio fossil way back there in the upper right photo. It’s too tall to actually see without tilting the cam up, but it’s a cool little secret XD
My Halloween lobby tour !
okay ty @paper tendon let me craft a few
@frozen granite already??? Damn great job 😮
Thank you !
@frozen granite is that pumpkin carriage for real???? I love it so much!
Should I move my museum to the bottom level or the second level of my palace?
Either way the stairs would be on either side, moved of course.
@frozen granite I can’t wait to try it Hahahaha
These are the two spots I’m considering. The stairs would be on either side of it.
i think the stone and iron looks better here
Any thoughts?
@bold mirage I think the second story would be more grand?
@blissful schooner definitely the other fence^
Yee I like that too, but then I don’t know where to put my valiant statue and I don’t want it to block the top
But at the same time I want it to be risen above the ground bc it’s going to be like the royal museum collection or whatever
How to make a dinner look spooky?
Yeah the black looks too small, but it'll be perfect for my resident area!
i think the stone and iron looks better here
@blissful schooner I have to agree. the iron and stone fence adds weight to the design in a way the pumpkin ones can’t.
@woven drift use purple and orange or green! add skeletons behind the counter and maybe fake ghosts made in custom designs? as well as webs and such + the new items coming out ! if you want a halloween vibe that is..
Oooooo tyyyy
form what I can tell, the iron and stone works better as a "building" fence and the pumpkin works better as a like more flat ornamental fence
now i need a bit help.. does anyone have pics of their entrance thats close to the plaza? im so lost on this ;-;
I wish I did but my plaza is really far to the upper right
@paper tendon you can come over to my island mine is super close!
i wish i would of picked a different layout but i love my villagers too much to start over
its not worth starting over theres plenty of ways to make it work!
i only suggest starting if you just hate everything and have a way to keep your old stuff
oh rly? i dont have my switch on me ): i’ve torn down my entrance 4+ times i can never make it work
i have friends to hold items but im not sure if losing all my villagers and other work is worth it :/
@bold mirage my museum is on the ground level, but I think it still gives off a grand vibe
Ooo I like that!
my museum's on a ground level too
specifically because i wanted my stairs for other places
Mine is going to be part of my medieval palace
I think starting over is always a good idea because you get a fresh start on a new island and you can use the original layout as a starting point @paper tendon
really? hmm i’ve come to love my island- except for the entrance of course
@paper tendon I'm always against resetting honestly.
@paper tendon , how many spaces away is the RS?
ive come to be against it as well and id have to check there is room for work but not enough
It really depends on how you feel but I think resetting is okay to do just like tt. You play the game how you want because you paid for it
Here's my pumpkin patch near Maple's house
specifically because i wanted my stairs for other places
@blissful schooner same for me. Haha ran out of stairs already
wanting to do a haunted forest with different levels where certain villagers get their own level:
wanting to have lots of staircases:
Here's my pumpkin patch near Maple's house
@terse vale i love it but I think you should give her a regular tree since she's maple and would be like a maple tree!
It really depends on how you feel but I think resetting is okay to do just like tt. You play the game how you want because you paid for it
@covert summit I get it and I wouldn't want to tell people how to play their game, but it just seems like people reset too often just because of some inconvenience that they could have overcome by finding a creative solution.
the reason i dont suggest resetting for everyone is because:
I reset and then a month later found tons of issues on the new island just as before
Well that wasn’t the case for me. I restarted my island and I’m like 65% finished compared to my old one that I played for way longer. And I’m so much more happier now that I did that because I felt burnt out and that basically saved the game for me
i did reset because of an issue actually and now im having a new one so i totally agree i think ill just keep trying with my entrance until i figure out what i wanna do with it ;D
You could come up with a theme you want throughout your island and build your entrance upon that @paper tendon
i have a theme actually! and a lot of my island towards the back is finished but the entrance is whats getting to me its so close that i cant do any of the ideas i originally had since i didnt think of it as an issue before :/
Then form your island around that theme that way you know what you want. Picture it in your head how you want it to look, also Pinterest is a good place to get inspiration for a theme you may have in mind
i did reset because of an issue actually and now im having a new one so i totally agree i think ill just keep trying with my entrance until i figure out what i wanna do with it ;D
@paper tendon if it's too close, you can try to lead the path sideways or diagonally. Here's my entrance if it helpa
thats great! i wanted something like this but its straight across from it so it’d look a bit awkward no?
oh i love when people do stuff like that
This is what i did for mine if it helps
So is yours parallel to your airport? @paper tendon
thats great! i wanted something like this but its straight across from it so it’d look a bit awkward no?
@paper tendon mine is actually a straight path from the airport too, but I found that too boring so I led it this way. Haha it leads to the lower right corner instead now.
thought id share, but i turned my islands farm into a pumpkin farm
@spark merlin i see! that was my issue it looked too boring and simple to do something straight across perhaps playing with paths and different angles of something will help, ty!
Amy idea on what I could do for my entrance? My community center is so far from the airport I almost don't know what to do with it
@paper tendon just keep trying new ideas! It took me almost a week before I was happy with mine. You can break it down as often as you like until you're happy anyway :)
Not mine @paper tendon you could always try something like this as well
Amy idea on what I could do for my entrance? My community center is so far from the airport I almost don't know what to do with it
@hearty ibex that just means you can do absolutely anything! There's so much space 😄
@covert summit that looks cool!! i was thinking maybe a staircase going up a cliff and another back down around the side to the plaza, or well something like it
ty for all the help guys 
I'm just so uncreative and the rest of my island isn't even decorated so I have no idea what to do lol
Oh yeah that’s such a cool way to do it as well
@hearty ibex another thing you could do is create a pseudo plaza which could be like an events Area
At the entrance?
Well Closer to the entrance if you'd like. Like a path to the pseudo plaza, then you can have different paths leading North, west and east.
Ooo that's a good idea actually
Top is my before photo of my pumpkin garden bottom is my after photo of my garden did I improve?
@brazen bloom it looks much better! But I think you could add some height to the back of the Area by putting cedar trees. You could also add decorative things like an axe or shovel, a low table with a watering can, and a handcart
That’s cute, I think planting the pumpkins on the dirt paths makes them look more realistic to irl planting
Also, how did you get that arch?
Yeah was thinking of doing the path thing but I’m not sure what I would like more
The arch was in my nooks cranny
You can try them both out and pick the one you like best
Oooh 😮
I thought the items were craftable
You have to buy the pumpkin tower then it should be the next thing
Yeah I thought they were gonna be DIYs as well
I think the arch is also a diy
Yeah isn’t that why we are planting pumpkins?
Maybe just some of the items shown were DIYs and others are Halloween exclusives at nooks
Just go into one of your villagers houses everyday and atleast one will have a diy
Nintendo is so backwards I swear 🤣
Your entrance is gorgeous btw @spark merlin
do you guys have any ideas on how i can fill the spaces in my orchard?
@covert summit tysm! I actually also really like the way you split the path from your entrance haha
Thanks, that means a lot because it took me so long to get it how I wanted 😭
@tranquil obsidian you could put some flowers, bushes or even some pumpkins
do you guys have any ideas on how i can fill the spaces in my orchard?
@tranquil obsidian you can put some boxes with fruit on top or watering cans, the handcart would be fine too, but don't over decorate or the fruits won't have anywhere to fall to
I felt like everything I tried looked so ugly lol
I think if you make the hedge fence surround al the tress it will be more green
it’s 9:36pm. time to go on a terraforming grind!
@brazen bloom i like surrounding my trees with flowers, but the fruits dont fall down anymore hahahahaha well they're more ornamental than anything so it's fine
Good luck! 🍀 @supple cipher make sure to take a break when terraform is being a pain lol
Does anyone have any idea where I could put my gold roses right now they are at my entrance
i think they’d look really cool at the bottom of a water fall - or near a shooting star viewpoint @brazen bloom
Thanks for the idea
they’re kinda hard to make blend in lol - but near nova lights and stuff could look cool!
I’m gonna put some stone fences around them too just to keep them safe
smart! 
i dance on you near my entrance
I have this little area up here where my house used to be might put my roses there
Could anybody tell me what they think the most tropical looking flowers are? I have a tropical island and dont know what flowers to use
Lily of the valley
@gritty comet ihave a tropical island too and I use all the flowers except Pansies but limit the colors to pink yellow orange and whitw
Honestly I think you can make all the flowers look tropical it just depends on the decor you have
Just don’t have to much of one flower
Okay, thank you so much
Certain flowers fell right in certain areas just play with them
@spark merlin I hate pansies lmao
My favorite are tulips
I had a lily of the valley grow right in my zen rock garden and I'm like "wow, you knew where you'd belong..."
It was meant to be
I'm not even sure what my fave flowers are, possibly Windflowers, though I may be biased cuz that's my native flower
hyacinths are my favorite! they can look good in any setting - tropical too 💕
Mine are hyacinths too but my natives are windflowers and I never use them
I love how hyacinths are very pastel colored and light.
I hate that they have the blue coloring in the center, idk why but it makes me so mad same with the pansies they are terrible imo
I love that slight bluish tinge on the Windflowers
Pansies are my native flower and they grew out of hand
The funny thing is I see others use them and make them looks so good, I could never 😭 @spark merlin
My native flowers are mums
Which makes me mad because mums are not very good looking
I use the green Mums and pineapple hats to make a small pineapple plantation. Haha
I have three Halloween recipes so far
@spark merlin do you have a dream address?
It's to the left of the photo, in Beau's yard haha
Time to make 10 jack o lanterns and put them at everyone’s door
That’s so cute omg
@covert summit not yet. Just finished my island last night but still have to work on the beaches.
Also I like that idea it’s adorable @brazen bloom
Gonna cost a lot of pumpkins though
The left beach is a boardwalk, but the ice cream parlor isn't ready yet.
Oh I’d definitely love to see it, I’ve seen tropical islands but I’ve never really visited one @spark merlin
so rn i’m building my “shopping center” and i decided to put it behind my plaza! i don’t have a lot to decorate it with yet, but i think it will turn out good
@covert summit come visit me sometime! I'll give you a personal tour.
Ooh for sure, I love tours
Behind my RS is The Thirsty Flamingo, lounge and bar
Can I get some tips on my island
anyone know the dimensions for ables? i know nooks is 4x7
@supple cipher i think Able's is 4x5? Lemme check
Check pins ^^
^
thanks guys! i would go count, but i’m in the middle of terraforming LOL
Counting sucks lol
And it’s kinda hard to count the sides
I don’t suppose some of you could post pictures of your maps. I’m trying to get inspiration
Pirate ship restaurant!
i never realized how much space i would need for my stores 😂
Stores suck. Especially nooks. Nooks is massive
for real, because i’m putting them on tier 2 and 3 with ables above nooks 😂
Drago's Seafood Grill on the left, and The Tiki Bar on the right
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo✨
Finally finished my pumpkin patch!!
your guys halloween areas are so cute!
will buildings move if you TT backwards a day? or is it only if you go forward
Does anyone know how to make a spiral pond or know where I can find a tutorial? No luck on YouTube!
Does this seem good for a corner of the island
Thinking about the left path will got to a campsite and the right going to sherb house
will buildings move if you TT backwards a day? or is it only if you go forward
@supple cipher buildings and inclines/bridges don't get completed if you go backwards.
Got my pumpkin patch grown already
Finally finished my pumpkin patch!!
@torpid cosmos very well done! 😄
Got my pumpkin patch grown already
@woven drift do the starts tell you what color they will be when they grow up?
i was talking about my new shopping center... look at all the space it took up’
@spark merlin no
Its random, you find out when they are fully grown
@woven drift Bibbidi bobbidi BO
@woven drift does the one pumpkin turn into 2 pumpkins the next day? Or are the number of pumpkins also random?
@woven drift does the one pumpkin turn into 2 pumpkins the next day? Or are the number of pumpkins also random?
@spark merlin number of pumpkins is dependent on how many days you water them
Do they wither if you don't water them?
i just realized i’m like out of bells 🤠 how am i supposed to build all my stair cases LMAOO
0 = 1 pumpkin
1 = 2 pumpkins
2 = 3 pumpkins
Do they wither if you don't water them?
@spark merlin no they just grow only a single pumpkin
Tysm for answering my questions 😄
Oh thanks for pointing me there!
No worries I’m pretty much just playing for fun at this point
inspired by 4dx theaters with Mulan at screen 💕💕
that looks so cool :00
@paper tendon thanks hahah
some popcorn machines would look rad in there too
@paper tendon sadly I’m starting so I don’t have too many furniture HAHA
oh i see i might have one you can have if you'd like
its okay hehe thank uu
are u sure? if i still have it, id never use it anyways :pp
Does anyone know how to make a spiral pond or know where I can find a tutorial? No luck on YouTube!
not my photo but something like this?
weh,, strongly considering of tearing down entrance 😭
oh noo do you have a pic? @neon glen
@austere nimbus
idk maybe i should go for something simpler
a wip 🤍
@neon glen omg noo it’s so pretty but yknow if you’re not feeling it go ahead and change it dunno why you would that’s amazing
but like..
the pumpkin carriage instead of the fountain would make it a bit more halloween-y for a few days at least and can make it look like a train station kind of lmao
@austere nimbus thank u !! 😭 i like it, but lately i rly like these sort of entrances w paths lined up like this
if you were to change the entrance would it just be that little bench area or the whole back buildings part?
ooh i was actually plannin to have a seasonal area next to the fountain but that sounds so qt too
id remove the buildings LOLOL
ahh the buildings look so good

Ok I am havin issues getting halloween stuff other then candy can someone tell me how to get the other things. I am just starting out started about a week ago on my island an it's so no.where near how nice yall are
i’m not sure how well i could pull it off since my rs is off-centered by 1 tile
its ok in my pic bc the buildings block the town hall building
i’m just gonna say that those lined up path entrances are basic but v pretty too, idk yours looks so much better then that imo
I USED to think that too, but idk something about horizontal paths hit different LOLOL
ack yeah if you aren’t feeling it change it up! both are super pretty

😭 yeah im just on the fence bc i spent so long buying those panels from catalog.. but yeah you’re right, theyre basic but pretty, ive seen those entrances in a lot of japanese ac players’ towns
is ur rs pretty far away from the entrance? that might make it look a bit weird
idk i think im just stuck in terms of progress lately LOL, i tore down my shop area cause i didnt like it 😭 and im starting to not like my neighborhood area. but yes my rs is kinda far away
if you’re planning to make it how they did with just a straight line in front of rs and a straight line leading up to it, might make it a bit “boring” unless there’s terraforming on either side @neon glen
hmm if i were to do it, i think id add trees LOLOL but ya i think the amt of space i have makes it hard to work with that kind of entrance
i say stick with your entrance right now as it’s gorgeous and fits well, but again it would look good with the other one too cus ur island is just too pretty 🥺
ahh thank u!! i think ill keep it. i havent done much terraforming tbh since i havent gotten to decorating my natural forest area
now that you’re talking about it my entrance looks trash lmao
aww im sure its fine!! whats ur theme?
i have a pink/white cottagecore/fairycore thing going on and omg i just blasted music in my ear at full volume with earphones
i think my eardrums don’t work anymore and i’m shaking lmao
oooooo honestly cottagecore entrances r easier to do than city themes! ive seen a lot hide rs w cliffs and it looks rly good
looks like this but now that i saw ur more urban-y theme i wanna change it 🥺🥺
Now y’all make me wanna change mine @austere nimbus @neon glen tiff#5687
omg !! im so happy ure inspired 🥺🥺 if u want to change into a more city theme go for it !!
Mine is city themed
But now I wanna make it a spooky theme too ughhhhhh
I don’t think the name Milky Way gives off spooky vibes
Im in Love ✨🥺🤍 It made me now do a Cinderella area on my island even tho I already have a Disney forest and A Disneyland jaja
Hii i was looking for some help with my neighborhood layout rjhghe
its a choppy image but this is what i had in mind, if someone could revise it that would be amazing!!
How does this second layer look for dividing my mini (wip) cottage core area? It kinda eats into my space on the layer above though :/
My entrance, plus little sitting area on the cliff to one side. Not sure how I feel about it - 😕 feels a little out of place to me. Any input would be helpful
Any thoughts on my farm area?
sorry for the manequins (and grammar) i am trying to do the rock thing
I think it looks really cute! Maybe add like a gnome or a sign!
anyone have a graveyward with halloween stuff?
Ooo that would look nice
@karmic storm second trying it out on an online editor. One thing I can think of is maybe adding a waterfall down to the lake just to connect the 2 levels a bit, and have a bit more flow
My pumpkin farm ☺️
I actually changed most of it to fit with the stuff I already have! here it is
Is anyone a professional map designer ? If yes dm me i pay good 
Does anyone have a cottagcore entrance?
Anyone have tips for using "the path" for a forest?
And how to actually make a forest cause I'm struggling hard lol
do you want a big forest or a trail path?
idk if this is good but this is how i laid down the path for a trail path
that's so cute 
How to make a playground spooky/abandoned
I feel like it looks really weird. How can I improve it?
my map plans so far :o
I’m trying to make a witchy area on my beach (vampire diaries themed) does anyone know what I can add to make it more spooky? 😬☺️
@dusty cobalt I think it looks great, maybe add some shrubs to fill it out or some garden lanterns
@light igloo the skeleton 😅
How to make a playground look more spooky/abandoned
@proven kayak thank you!!
idk if this is good but this is how i laid down the path for a trail path
@manic sigil that path is really good!! :0
thx 
Npp
a little spa area i made for when you’re tired of terraforming 
@manic sigil I love itttt
What should I do with this area? It leads down to the beach :)
beach boardwalk! like a surfboard shop, vending machines, shower stalls, etc
im having issues with my nooks cranny iv placed it but don't know what to put off of it any ideas?
spooky
Did you guys time travel for the pumpkin stuff?
yeah, it isnt available rn without time travel
darn
For people who don’t time travel, do you know when we will start getting the items?
tomorrow
Must.
muster.
all.
my.
patience
For people who don’t time travel, do you know when we will start getting the items?
@whole hamlet october 1st
Thanks!
Need ideas of what I can put in this small area. I’m stuck!!!!
Seaside cafe

Cuteeee

Ty!
This is hard to describe, but does anybody have a picture of an outdoor laundry area? Like with buckets and a clothes line?
Yeah I do
It's technically like, decorations for Able's but I think it could help? I'm in class rn though

Yeah, basically I'm just trying to have a cottage decor outdoor laundry place kind of thing
I have an idea, I just want to see if there's any other examples
I had a great one then they took away harvs fence and wash bucket, currently remaking mine
@wraith veldt I do! This is my outdoor laundry area! I didn’t so much use the buckets since I used the actual deluxe washers but I hope it helps!
Any ideas what I should do for this empty spot on my beach? I have the campsite right next to it, so I kinda wanna keep it with that sorta vibe. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated
sirenhead vibes
@misty anvil what about a surf shop/rental? Can include like diving clothes, and snorkel masks, surfboards, etc
@vernal oxide Ooo true
I'll do that, thanks for the suggestion ^^
Tiki bar
@native moth oh that too, well I can try both and see how they look and keep the one that looks better
Thanks again :)
Haunted house themed area 🥰 What u guys think?
My Cinderella dream
I didn't know what to do with all of these, so I made this ☺️
@bleak wind I can understand the feeling. I have alot and even I don't know what to do with them. This is a good idea.
Another would be placing them around certain important spots ie. Shopping Area, Neighborhood, Museum, Gardening Area, entrance, beach, other specialized area.
Finished my pumpkin patch! Took the whole night 🥱
@errant otter I already have flowers in most of those spots 😂
Ok.
Sorry! Just that's why I didn't know where to place all of my lily of the valleys!
When I get more I'll probably replace other already planted flowers with them 😄
@limber ginkgo AAHH! It's so good!
I like how you distributed the light and brown dirt to make each pumpking in it's own area!
Sooo... Do the pumpkins usually grow in 3's like that or is it randomized or does it take a few days after it's fully grown?
@bleak wind Don't worry. It is a good idea. I'm sorry if I sounded pushy...
@errant otter Don't even worry about it, it's cool 😊
they grow in 3's so you get 3 pumpkins once harvested
@errant otter the amount they yield depends on how many days you water them
@limber ginkgo @inland bay ok! I'm usually pretty diligent with watering so I think I'll be good. Do the pumpkin colors alternate in the shop?
Also I'm not sure if villagers water them
think its just random you can't tell which colour you're going to get until after they grow
There's only 1 pumpkin start and you only know the color when it's fully grown, orange has the highest chance.
also you use the pumpkins for customization instead of customization kits on spooky items/pumpkin items and you need the colour pumpkin for the colour of the customization
Well I guess I'm glad I've been saving my bells. Guess I'm buying in bulk
I already got my area set up and everything.
That looks so cute! 
Just finished my first terraforming project!! It merely drove me crazy since I destroyed my island to achieve it but I’m so happy with it!
I need inspiration on how I want to design my island. Any ideas?
Anything you have in mind?
I know Cottagecore and Urbancore are pretty big here on this discord
@pulsar vector Great Job! It looks beautiful
Coffee cafe is something I want for sure
@errant otter Thanks!!
Does anyone want to send me pictures of their island layout? I’ve been thinking of what I want to do with my island.
@limber ginkgo do you mind sharing the code for those wooden planks?
no idea what to do with this area, any ideas?
@obsidian sluice
man ive been working on my island but lately i dont rly like anything i make anymore
no idea what to do with this area, any ideas?
@desert scroll I like to add benches or tables or other things on big paths to make it seem more like public areas people can use!
Coffee cafe is something I want for sure
@light wave
Getting a stall and some nice outdoor tables would work.
Also a book case and coffee stand would help.
Plants too.
Potted funiture plants or regular plants will really help the area.
If you have any foods or dirnks you cna use that too.
There's a really nice cafe sets in Pocket camp which I wish I could bring to the game but I can't
Using simple panels could help for a bakery BG with stacks of bread and pastries.
Go witha color scheme and work with it.
@stable dragon This is what the outside of mine looks like 😊
I like dragons 😄
@errant otter thank you for your input. I haven’t thought about doing a bakery. I will for sure include that
i want to see spooky areas of your islands!!!!
I like to add benches or tables or other things on big paths to make it seem more like public areas people can use!
@blissful schooner I'll try that! Thank you so much :)
@stable dragon this is my Nooks!
been planning for hours.. this is my semi final result.. what do u guys think?
Hi guys! i just remodeled my shopping center, i’m going for a natural/woodsy theme... any suggestions what i should use to decorate ? 💕
My beach playground 🙌
hey guys, Ive been wanting to make a haunted house section for a while now and the october update seems like the perfect time to do it! I made a ground entrance by the arch and Im going to put an incline on the left (stone steps or log steps what do you think). You can also access it by hopping across the pillars which I think is cute. I made another character so I could decorate a haunted house, I will put that on the back of the cliff. Now I just need to decorate the rest of the cliff and the forest path area. Any suggestions? Halloween is my favourite holiday so Im really excited to have a spooky section to go back and enjoy all year long😊
im wanting to make the arendelle castle on my island but it’s just not feeling right, right now im using a gray brick and might try and integrate some wood, does anyone have a colour scheme you think would work better?
has som1 pictures of a pumpkin farm?
so below the fence is a pumpkin patch, and behind ables is a cemetery(im gonna move ables away) so what should i put in between them, next to the path? the beach is to the right of it all btw
also this is the pumpkin patch, it looks very bland so what could i add to make it better?
@worldly ginkgo maybe add a silo? scarecrow maybe? or some water buckets (tin cans)
also this is the pumpkin patch, it looks very bland so what could i add to make it better?
@worldly ginkgo A brick well right next to where your character is stood might look nice 🙂
ok! i have a bucket and silo there already so i will try the well!
oh my god im sorry i didn’t notice 🤦🏽♀️
The carriage awaits, Princess Judy 👑
Entry to museum
@plain forge That looks amazing!
@bleak wind tysm!! ❤️
so i added the well where i had the diy table and removed the other things, is it better? 😭 this is probably the saddest part of my island rn
@worldly ginkgo Oh, the well there looks really nice 😊
I'd say just wait until you can craft the pumpkin DIY's and then place a few of the items next to it!
how do you get pumpkins anyway
@woven drift you have to wait till october 1st and leif will sell u them
im in march right now.............
@bleak wind ty, im trying my best to not tt for the diys😭 its only one day to wait but ugh
@worldly ginkgo SAME, i might just have to do it
@worldly ginkgo SAME! It's so tempting, but I'm trying my hardest to wait it out 😅
so i just terraformed my new shopping center.. i NEED help with decor! 💕 i want it to be natural, any suggestions ??
@supple cipher is it a link or just not loading for me lol
it wasn’t meant to be, idek why it did that
It's not showing for me either 😭
@worldly ginkgo your pumpkin patch looks good so far! I'd say to maybe add another haybed next to the well or stack a few boxes and when the pumpkins grow in you can drop 1-2 on the boxes to make it look ready to ship out to the market :) also, scarecrows are always a fun addition~
im gonna send a screen shot then lol
this is kinda bad quality because it came from a video.. but here’s my shopping center
@plain forge thank you! yes i plan to use the boxes! i actually changed the well out since i wanted a little carving/crafting station lol but yea
@supple cipher A picnic area in front of Nooks might look nice, and a sewing area in front of Able's 😊
@supple cipher i love the setup!! i would put 2 dirt spots on front of nooks for flowers and a garden bench where the cookie thing is (hope this makes sense lol)
@worldly ginkgo it does! that’s a good idea 💕 and @bleak wind i love the picnic idea too
Oh, maybe you could put the picnic area in front of Able's instead!
for ables i think you can put a piano and a bear sitting on a stool to look like its playing it in front haha
There really are just unlimited ideas 😄
you guys are just more creative than me 😂 i can always terraform and set up the are, but i struggle with decoration
@supple cipher here's my nooks & ables if you need inspo; there's a small crafting station on the right side of nooks while the front is v simple. Hope this helps~
@supple cipher My shops have things around them rather than next to or in front of them mostly because they're on the main streets (if that makes sense XD). My Nook's does have a pumpkin patch next to it and my Able's has a tree surrounded by benches and stuff next to it, but it's not really part of it
@supple cipher I don't have the code saved but if you look up "stonepath e" in able's you should be able to find one of them and it'll lead you to the creator code!
@plain forge ohh yeah i forgot we can do that now lol
@supple cipher this was my previous island which i did a forest theme, that i used the bear piano set,, the left side changed to this later
Japanese horror vibe
@supple cipher I've already posted this, but you can see here 😅
i just put pumpkins everywhere bc i need them to craft 😂
Makes perfect sense tbh
I made this big lake today! It took a while but I think it was worth it!!
Any feedback? I'm still waiting on some things I ordered from nook shopping so I'll be replacing the telescope tomorrow, it's just a placeholder!
Pumpkin patch I finished last night! Just waiting on my friend to send me some barbed wire fence
Work in progress of my Disneyland ~ Cinderella Area 🎉
Still can't believe they made an actual carriage, thought it would all just be house stuff
@blissful schooner SAME I FLIPPED
Museum entrance ideas with one staircase? I am at my incline limit and need to take one away from my museum...
hahaha i didn’t thought I’m gonna like the Halloween stuff since It wont really fit in my theme and than BOOM
Hold the HECK up why was I not told we got a carriage!?
THE carriage and I could have cry HAHHAAHHHAA
Guys.

Ah, I see, I see. My bad!

@•.¸♡ cerys ♡¸.•#6559 show is sweetie 🤍🤍🤍
Us*✨🧁 and we can help
My house @bronze hound 💕
@bronze hound Here's my map 😊 I hope it helps!
thank you !
I've filled in the missing villager house since I took this, but you get the idea XD
@bronze hound what do you want your Island theme to be 🌸
Is this to much stone or is it good
That’s cute!!
That looks great 😄
Ok thx😀
It will probably balance out once you decorate the cliffs
How bout this. Is there something I could do to make it nicer
That's already so amazing the way it is tbh 😊
that is absolutely STUNNING!! the only thing i could think of if you really want to make adjustments is placing some small item that would suit the area well next to the destination signpost
@hard inlet MY GOD. i was just about to ask for help but this is just stunning. IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL
Thank you I have been home from school today so I worked on it a lot😂
@hard inlet I agree with placing something next to the signpost! A drinking fountain maybe 🙂
For some reason the sign post won’t let me put things closer to it the lantern Is as close as it goes
My pumpkin patch and pumpkin carving table ready for tomorrow 😆 what do you think?
Yeah, @hard inlet, it takes up a lot more space than it appears to, which is dumb
I think I might just put this clover custom design I have
What should I put here
@opal bramble you could build a dog park and use the mom plushies I think for the dogs. I’m going to be doing that soon
Oooo ty
Any ideas what I could put here? I used to have something here which is why there's the incline on the side, it's literally just a large empty space with an incline and a bunch of flowers
@kind tide Library, coffee shop, restaurant, market, farm, stargazing spot, graveyard, outdoor movie area, or art studio ? That's a lot of space so your options are endless
@kind tide a little fountain area perhaps?
Anyone has an idea what you can do In a little Cinderella area?✨🥺 Im doing now the carriage and springy ride ons also use a lot of blue and white gold roses.... and maybe use some frozen furniture to make the magical vibe anyone has an idea what more PLS HELP ✨🤍🌸
maybe some mermaid furniture
@woven drift frozen stuff will fit perfectly
You should leave a little pair of light blue shoes outside the carriage!
@dusky solar oh Damn YES
Look at the bottem map. Which one do i do? The top left one or the bottem left one.
I need help with my island
People can you place items on pillows 💕🥺🤍 Such as shoes 🥺
@dusky solar im Conan use the Bride ones
I've been working on my pumpkin patch, thoughts?🥺
DAAANG @rich bobcat Great Job!
I still want to add more pumpkin items but thank you SO much💕🥺🥺🥺
Any ideas where i should put my museum? it’s the last main building i need before i move my villager houses
ignore the paths (those are just ideas)
and i can change any rivers^
Where should I put my house
The mountain, where the heart is. Or right beside that same mountain too
Or at the top right of the map 
ok
What should I put here?
A little bar? A plant shop?
any suggestions where i should set up my museum?
Maybe up on top of that hill in the middle too
@lucid socket add some Instruments and make it like a stage/ a place for concerts
Top
any suggestions where i should set up my museum?
@supple cipher Is the place at the top of your map free so you can put a museum?
it is, that’s what i was thinking too, i think i want it to have a moat around it, and then put it on tier 2... what do you guys think?
That sounds cool
So I’m working on a skull-shaped graveyard. Not done yet, but coming along okay. I made the smaller version yesterday and scaled it up today, probably going with the larger size one and will decorate more.
Do ya think I should stick with Stone path in the graveyard or use dark dirt like the smaller version had?
I thought so too. I guess then the other question is whether I should leave the outer edge under the fences as stone, or make those dark dirt as well.
The dirt makes it seem more realistic imo.
can you guys send some museum inspo?
I’ve put my ables nooks and res services near the airport but don’t know how to start laying out the rest of my island. Halp
It's not the best I ever seen, but I like it.
@toxic lake i did the same thing! just start at your entrance and work off in one direction, focus on small areas at a time
@supple cipher, tysm!
i’ve done all my main buildings first (museum, stores, campsite) before i placed my villagers houses so that i don’t have to struggle to find a space big enough for them
Can I get an image of a stone bridge placed vertically?
@supple cipher this is what I did with my museum!
wow that’s amazing, idk if i have that much room! but i love it
i feel like my museum is going to be in an awkward spot on my map no matter where i put it lol.
Now im realizing that i was really lame with my museum placment
Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a bunny/rabbit shaped pond?
i was going to put my museum infront of the private beach, now i’m thinking i should move my house there and put the museum in the corner.. thoughts??
do somwan join my island
Any ideas on how I can transition from my entrance to the rest of my island? I'm stuck between either creating more cliffs and putting my shops on top, starting a village, and making a farm area.
@supple cipher that would be cute. You can make a little dig site area along that portion of the beach!
Putting a little bit more work into my rock garden - just a few black and red flowers and it’ll be finished!
moving my house rn! i’ll send pictures (it’s not going to be decorated yet, just showing u guys where i put it)
Only time travellers and people who trade with time travellers would have them rn
I had too many flowers so I made a flower field 😊
Only time travellers and people who trade with time travellers would have them rn
@indigo quarry very true... I will check back in a month then
@burnt hamlet check back tomorrow since thats when people start planting
@burnt hamlet check back tomorrow since thats when people start planting
@indigo quarry very true as well
guys i have a delema... should i put my house on tier one or two?? here’s my map (it would go in that square above my marker)
Recreational park area spookified 🙂
@supple cipher depends- I prefer having my house on tier two because I like living more in the countryside than by my town center, and I also like living next to waterfalls.
But ultimately its up to your preference
im worried it looks too squished together because of the shopping center i built.. what do u think?
@supple cipher Maybe post pictures of the two potential areas so we can help more? Or, a good way to decide things is to chose which you would be more upset without. So instead of trying to chose the best spot, think about which spot you would have rather chosen if you chose the other one. If that makes sense. To me it kind of sounds like you have already decided maybe tier one is best.
SHOW ME YOUR PUMPKIN PATCHES EVERYONE
@burnt hamlet
@carmine epoch that makes a lot of sense! i decided i’m doing tier one because i will run out of staircases if i do tier two 😂😭
😮
@carmine epoch that makes a lot of sense! i decided i’m doing tier one because i will run out of staircases if i do tier two 😂😭
@supple cipher Oh yeah, thats a good thing to think about too, inclines. Lol, glad you came to a decision ☺️
Here. No pumpkins yet cuz i will never time travel and timezones.
it’s begun 😂😂
A maze?
Are you proud yet i did a thing

Oh that’s cute!
My neighborhood. Work in progress
I decided to put a gold rose in the middle thing
Does anyone know how to make a spiral pond?
Did someone say pumpkins?
Pumpkin patch inspo anyone?
^^ please
@primal geyser @woven drift theres one shared if you scroll up, or you can use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: pumpkin” a lot of people don’t have pumpkins yet though so it might be better to try checking tomorrow
Thanks envy! I’m getting a little pumpkin patch ready for tomorrow and getting so impatient (:
ive seen i was just looking for more. thank you though, envy!
hey guys, idk if this is the right place for this but I wanted to get an opinion. I havent really played AC since like start of summer because i've been struggling with town themes/ideas to fill up spaces. I was thinking of doing a sort of European vibe or japanese vibe (but i feel like everyone does japanese towns). What do you guys think? I am also open to any other ideas if you have them
Working on my Cinderella area✨
Hi everyone 👋 Do these custom drains look good here?
Can someone help me!
@knotty peak You should decorate your island in your own preference and taste. Decorate with what you like, dont mind others^^ You should like decorating your island so really go by what you love:D
@rancid stratus with what
@knotty peak I agree with @sharp jetty! Don't worry about how popular the japanese theme is. If it's what you want to do then go for it, make it your own 😄
Well I’m making a spooky cottage core island and need ideas I’m gonna make a pumpkin patch I’m very new to this game I want to make a bettle juice room and deacate my room to stuff but I need ideas.
Thanks guys!
Yeah! I mean, even though a bunch of people have done a cottagecore/natural themed island, I'm still going along with it because I enjoy it! Putting my own little twist on it though with mixing black flowers, plenty of pine trees and some mushrooms. Don't regret it at all!
@rancid stratus oh sorry I can't help you than

@knotty peak Put your own twist on the theme, have different themes in little sections, it's all up to you!
I need some help can anyone help.
@rancid stratus You can find plenty of inspiration on pinterest

This is my map, idk what to do for house. Any ideas? (I’ll move anything besides the museum, entrance and campsite
u could dig an inlet into the top left cliff and have it nested there
I’m sorry, I meant for the houses. Idk how to space them or anything
Like villager homes. Might have to move mine too tbh.
