#

idk wtf to put in my island

#

and where

inland gate
#

start with making a nice entrance and shop area

neon glen
#

wat theme are you going for?

vast peak
#

@willow stump maybe focus on one area at a time?

willow stump
#

idk

inland gate
#

then you can put in more interesting ideas slowly

willow stump
#

i have no prior knowledge of animal crossing games

inland gate
#

me either

willow stump
#

i guess a normal theme

thick goblet
#

Like is it to big to have it as a path around the island

willow stump
#

start with making a nice entrance and shop area
@inland gate wdym shop area

neon glen
#

this is my first ac game too, there's a bunch of themes ppl do like a natural theme or a city theme

willow stump
#

oh uh no theme really i guess

inland gate
#

honestly themed islands are cool but its way easier to just put random stuff that you like

neon glen
#

there's a lot of ac pictures floating around in pinterest or u could find island tours on yt!

vast peak
#

@thick goblet 4 spaces is pretty big. Unless I'm putting a fence on the outside spots I wouldn't use it personally.

#

Yeah I don't have a theme either. My island is mostly random things thrown together

thick goblet
#

Ok so is 2 the right size then

inland gate
#

oh and by shop area i mean some people make marketplaces in front of their nooks cranny with stalls

#

and put extra diys there

neon glen
#

imo it was easier for me to pick a theme and stick w it since i knew what kind of areas i wanted to make based on the theme

inland gate
#

that makes sense

willow stump
#

oh and by shop area i mean some people make marketplaces in front of their nooks cranny with stalls
@inland gate can i see an example

vast peak
thick goblet
#

Yeah I think I will go with that

inland gate
#

not mine

willow stump
#

oh i see

thick goblet
#

But I can’t do anything right now since I’m just trying to to make lots of bells so I can make all the changes I need

willow stump
#

where's the shop in front of it

inland gate
#

its to the side

willow stump
#

can i see

inland gate
#

i don't have the tour video on hand but they put it symmetrically on the other side of their plaza

#

sorry

willow stump
#

wdym

inland gate
#

they put it in front of their plaza too but on the other side

willow stump
#

why that would look weird

inland gate
#

it doesn't

#

wdym

willow stump
#

can i see

inland gate
#

no bc thats a screenshot and i don't have one of that

#

its from a video from a while ago

willow stump
#

oh ok

neon glen
willow stump
#

can you show me other ideas

neon glen
#

not mine

vast peak
#

Omg that is so pretty @neon glen

willow stump
#

that's nice

neon glen
#

ty but it's not mine ! LOLOL

inland gate
#

you can look on pinterest and google

vast peak
#

Yeah there are tons of photos online

inland gate
#

just search "nh nooks cranny" or something

willow stump
#

ok

vast peak
#

Also instagram accounts for it too

willow stump
#

i don't use instagram

vast peak
#

That's probably good cause it's not a great platform haha

neon glen
#

@inland gate if u ever find the video for the island tour could u send it to me !! i've seen that market pic so many times, i'm curious to see their actual island

inland gate
#

@neon glen sure! i haven't seen it since maybe june before i got the game so i want to find it again too

oak gazelle
#

Does anyone have a statue garden inspo?

vast peak
#

@oak gazelle I had mine surrounded by water earlier.

#

Let me see if I can find what I was inspired by

#

I did that with David too but I don't seem to have a photo of it. I demolished it this morning.

#

@oak gazelle I was thinking of elevating them on a column too

ornate jetty
vast peak
#

I love your north river, do you have stuff on the islands?

ornate jetty
#

The seed was so good

#

You can look for yourself, the DA is on it

#

Its a relatively stock level 5 star island

vast peak
#

@ornate jetty I will try to remember to visit later. I'm in a middle of a grand village redesign haha

ornate jetty
#

Man i never had to do that but gl mate

vast peak
#

@ornate jetty haha thanks - this is my 4th time

ornate jetty
#

God

vast peak
#

I'm moving away from a summery peninsula vibe to a winter wonderland pine tree extravaganza

neon glen
#

dreading my redesign for my neighborhood 8')... i've put it off for now since i don't have the motivation to do it yet

ornate jetty
#

You have never settled down and i see

#

I went for an all seasons design

woven drift
#

I removed 1 piece of fence from my island and it dropped from 5 to 4 stars

vast peak
#

@woven drift haha omg

ornate jetty
#

But i rejected winter now coz i dont need to make snowboys

#

So there is no space for the snowboys to spawn anymore

#

Unless i move off my solar farm

vast peak
#

What are snowboys?

woven drift
#

Snow golems

lyric quest
#

I need flat island ideas I’ve flattened it & now don’t know where to begin

ornate jetty
#

Basically the only way to get frozen furniture diy in winter

vast peak
#

@ornate jetty yep. this I know.

#

@lyric quest I love that idea. Make a super cool Redd beach. With pirate stuff.

ornate jetty
#

I had my town in winter mode so long until cherry blossoms came as well as pumpkins

#

For dream Adress

#

Mid August had best weeds for shrine areas

lyric quest
#

@vast peak I wanna make it Halloween themed but it’s hard to get all the materials

vast peak
#

@lyric quest do you have all the diys? I found them extremely easy to get and after planting 100 pumpkins no issues with crafting either.

lyric quest
#

@vast peak I think I have them all, not sure lol

#

I’ll have a look here to see if anyone has posted any good ideas

vast peak
#

Oh yeah scroll up there were really cool ideas earlier

lyric quest
#

Awesome

ornate jetty
vast peak
#

lone mason

sick herald
clear vale

copied from froggycrossing video lol
@lone mason it seems a little boxy especially on the right, I would make it more circular like she did in the video

Got any ideas?

#

My halloween fair flea market

#

oh god sorry for the image dump I thought discord would merge them together or something

tidal wyvern
dense sundial
#

nice entrance

#

Guys do you think i should change anything about the market?

#

I feel like it might be too crowded

spark dune
#

omg no, it's perfect. crowded looks so good @dense sundial !!

woven drift
dense sundial
#

Thank you so much @spark dune !

#

I think i like the brick the most but it depends on what you will put there

scenic herald
#

@lone mason omg I love that lake!!!! I think I watched the same video and I was so tempted but I have no idea where I’d put it! 🤣

#

@woven drift the blue for a boardwalk!

dense sundial
#

@scenic herald maybe behind the secret beach?

spark dune
#

blathersnodsmugdance yeh the blue fence, mike

lone mason
#

wow im happy that someone like that

woven drift
#

Blue with the terracotta ground?

scenic herald
#

@dense sundial I have a secret path going to my secret beach so that might not work?? But!!!! I could put it like a little before that or something and make it look foresty going to the secret path!

lone mason
#

thank u so much 😄

dense sundial
#

Oh yeah that would be really cool @scenic herald

scenic herald
#

@woven drift if you used custom paths I would suggest a wooden one?? Or even the wooden mats from Sahara?

#

@dense sundial thanks for the idea!!!! I def might try that!!! 😱

covert tartan
#

@tidal wyvern it looks great! glad to have been able to provide inspiration 😊

woven drift
#

@woven drift if you used custom paths I would suggest a wooden one?? Or even the wooden mats from Sahara?
@scenic herald you cant put sahara mats down outside

tidal wyvern
#

Thank you! isahearts

scenic herald
#

@woven drift ah rip.... then if you don’t use customs I’d say the stone ones for it!

dense sundial
#

@tidal wyvern your name is literally amazing

tidal wyvern
#

yes ikr ty i love yours more

woven drift
#

@woven drift ah rip.... then if you don’t use customs I’d say the stone ones for it!
@scenic herald do you mean the stone one that’s already in the game

#

I almost used that honestly

scenic herald
#

Either that or the one you have would look nice!! Depends if you wanna go like bright and beachy colorful (with the one you have) or more neutral?

woven drift
#

Well I want the fence to look good with the ground, and since I was debating between terracotta and stone I’ll switch to stone

neon river
#

Anyone have a grid for the whole island?

scenic herald
#

I think that fence would look good with the one you have and the stone, @woven drift !!!!

@neon river https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/ is a good site for designing! There’s also plenty more like this one too! This was just the first one I clicked!

woven drift
#

I disagree honestly

#

Making a halloween theme island, and need more spooky area ideas. This is what I have so far: graveyards, spells and hexes shop, pumkpin carving area, pumpkin patch, candy shop, spooky cafe. Thanks in advance!

vast peak
#

@mossy rampart costume shop?

scenic herald
#

@mossy rampart a haunted maze or spooky path?? Like an outdoors haunted house type area??? I like the costume shop idea too!!!!

Also I’d love to see if you had visitors when it’s done!!!!

mossy rampart
#

@scenic herald oooh i like that haunted house idea! I'll try and incorporate that lol and I will share a DA at the end of the month. Hopefully it is done by then! Lol

heavy idol
#

LF cute ideas on what to do with villager homes. My island has a rainbow theme and right now the houses are just sitting near the beaches in rows and it’s irritating me that it’s not cohesive

scenic herald
#

@mossy rampart I thought it could tie things together!! A pathway!!! And yes ok! I can’t wait to see!!!!

hollow cypress
#

Wondering how i put a tree right next to water? Ive seen it on pinterest but it doesn’t work for me when i try

scenic herald
#

Zari, if you dig a hole you should be able to plant in that hole!!

bronze urchin
#

anyone have any halloween entrace ideas?

hollow cypress
#

It says „there‘s no space to plant things in this area!“ :((

neon glen
#

@hollow cypress i dont think u can place a tree directly next to water. it needs to be one space apart from the river

hollow cypress
#

Okay.. thanks!

Wondering if anyone can help me? I'm having trouble laying out my museum entrance. I've given myself a massive amount of room and I just don't know what I'm doing lol. I'm thinking of moving it up to the top rather than in the centre as it is now, but that's as far as I've got. Anyone got any inspiration for me?

dense sundial
#

if that helps lol

i added more stuff to it

frail robin

Any opinions? My peninsula area is pretty narrow so it was hard to make a good cliff

I need help! I recently just finished my rock garden (it took forever, but I guess it was worth it) I don’t know what to do w the area? I just know I wanna keep the statues and MAYBE the fence I have up! My island is also Wonderland themed so if you have any Wonderland or normal ideas PLEASE DM me or @ me!!

@vast falcon add vegetation

#

rugged fern
dawn sonnet
#

well then make the base of it, put a bridge there and some furniture, i have a picnic area and some garden stuff
also vegetation

vast falcon
#

@dawn sonnet like what? I have a lot of colored flowers, some small golden roses too! Some trees would look nice but I’m not sure what kind?

dawn sonnet
#

trees, cedar and hardwood, maybe seasonal stuff, like mushrooms or sth. mix them trees up for more natural look!

#

also shrubs @vast falcon

How do I make a circular rock garden where it's all evenly spaced? I've tried searching pins but I can't get it to work, I just need to see how to space them out

This is what mine looks like.. it bridges to my other side of my island with 4 other houses and a massive garden

I gave pietro a rocking chair a pond a little bridge and he sits at the other side and acts like a detective and interviews everybody especially sherb 😂

If I pick museum, I’m gonna extend it by 1 so it’s a 9x11 so it will be centered

Not entirely sure if this is the right channel so apologies if im wrong for putting this here but does anyone have ideas for a pastel halloween area? My island is entirely cutesy/pastel theme and I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate halloweeen stuff into that~ my current halloween area looks very out of place feel free to ping/dm with suggestions

rancid epoch
#

@devout pelican Hii your in the right channel! I’m probably not much help but I would use lots of purple and black in your designs since the purple still kinda goes with pastel theme! And maybe make a little ritual area like this! 🥰

Ooo thank you!!! I have something sorta similar to that (although it failed rather miserably and looks like a cult meeting lmao) thats superrr cute tho, thanks again!!!

@woven drift ive got a few shrines on my island, but don't have any pics rn sorry. Most of them are simple with a stone tablet and then an incense burner in front of it.

Can anyone help me with this area? I don't know what it is but it drives me nuts. Part of me thinks it's because there's too much dirt. And I hate the brick mixed with dirt. Should I move the fish market to my hidden beach?

paper tendon
#

@icy sedge if it bothers you i'd definitely move it or change the dirt? its hard to see in the photo but another good place for a fish market is by the dock on the beach! fishing rods on the dock then a market near it with a seating area maybe where someone could cook the fish and such? thats just an idea though ^^

icy sedge
#

@paper tendon Thank you! I've just started tearing it down haha. I think I'm doing to move the brick stairs and open up more of a space leading to my hidden beach. Then leave the area up top mostly greenery.

woven drift
#

Anyone willing to help me design my city entrance

paper tendon
#

@icy sedge good luck! that sounds like it'd look nice (: the beauty of terraforming you can always tear it down and start over !!

@woven drift what do you need help with exactly?

woven drift
#

I’m lost with how to redecorate so my entrance doesn’t feel so flat, and can feel more like a big city(think new york)

#

My rs is pretty close to the airport, so that’s making things difficult

paper tendon
#

thats not too close actually! mine is far closer.. have you seen those fake buildings people do with simple panels and custom designs? place them on a cliff using items in front like gas pumps and street lamps to build depth? can you show a photo of what it looks like in game, not just the map?

woven drift
#

To the right of this i have an outdoor diner set up

#

@paper tendon do you wanna come to my island to get a better idea of what I’m working with?

paper tendon
#

in a moment! let me find photos of simple panels on cliffs i think that might help you !!

verbal obsidian
woven drift
#

@paper tendon you mean like this, this is on my upper part of my island

paper tendon
woven drift
#

Yah I wanted to do something similar to these photos just couldn’t figure out how to implement it on my island

#

I’m just not very creative

paper tendon
#

thats totally okay, im having issues with my island as well. i think the more you collect items and test things out the easier it will get- in these photos from what i can see is they're using market stalls, street lamps, bikes, vending machines and placing them on cliffs and around them with the custom design street which definitely gives the vibe you're looking for

hi all! i’m looking for some graveyard inspiration? ✨

paper tendon
#

none of these are my photos so credit to owners^^

woven drift
#

Right i see how they did it just not sure where/how to do that on my island

#

I can’t surround my rs with cliffs because of where abels and nooks are located

paper tendon
#

hmm i'd start with doing an open road from your entrance leading into something similar to that? then building cliffs around the street that leads to the plaza and on/around the cliffs use similar items and such?

verbal obsidian
#

hi all! i’m looking for some graveyard inspiration? ✨
@iron coral

It’s not much but I’m more of fan of cute small areas throughout my island.

paper tendon
#

could you possibly move them?

woven drift
#

Hmm.... possibly

paper tendon
#

actually what if- you moved ables and nooks and placed them on the cliff creating a shopping area and a staircase that goes down to the plaza so you can walk up to it? does that make sense?

woven drift
#

Do you mean to create a cliff behind the rs for them to go on?

paper tendon
#

not exactly, you have your shops beside the plaza, yes?

iron coral
#

@verbal obsidian i love that so much! that path works so well, yesss! could i maybe have a gander at the code... 👀✨

woven drift
#

Yes they are on each side of rs

paper tendon
#

so what im saying is.. keep them either side of rs but build it up on a cliff then place a staircase down to the plaza so you can turn it into a city like shopping center?

woven drift
#

So I would have to move them twice then?

paper tendon
#

yes you'd have to but i think it'd be worth it if you want something without it looking flat

#

i have to do the same with mine so i understand how frustrating that might be

woven drift
#

Honestly moving nooks ruins the aesthetic ive created for it

paper tendon
#

its just an idea ^^

verbal obsidian
#

@verbal obsidian i love that so much! that path works so well, yesss! could i maybe have a gander at the code... 👀✨
@iron coral the path code? Or my DODO code to explore?

iron coral
#

@verbal obsidian that path code would be awesome? not logged in at the moment but a dream address would be awesome too, if you wanted to dm them both? ✨🌸

woven drift
#

How wide is nooks?

#

@paper tendon i have an idea that would partially fix my problem

paper tendon
#

even if you dont wanna move your shops heres a badly drawn thing i did real quick, but the idea might help anyway you still have the shops same spot just up one on a cliff, then place a staircase in front of the plaza to keep it into a connect market place then the grey path would be the street and on the cliffs as well as beside them you can decorate with items- anyways! its just what i could come up with, i hope you figure out how to finish your entrance!

woven drift
#

And it didn’t fit the spot I wanted

paper tendon
#

oh? whats that??

woven drift
#

One space too wide for nooks to fit where I was thinking

paper tendon
#

check pins they might have size chart for buildings !

#

or at least it thought they had the chart let me see

woven drift
#

So the tailor would fit in the spot I have open, but then I still need a spot for nooks 🙁

paper tendon
#

hmm may i suggest checking out city speed build videos on youtube?

woven drift
#

Maybe I can put my house in the open spot, that would allow me to move abels, and nooks to my boardwalk I started

paper tendon
#

if you have the bells i say try it! zzjack

woven drift
#

I still have a villager house out of place too

#

Oh I have 18 mil in bells

paper tendon
#

then definitely go for it :PP its best to experiment and see what you like best!

I was wanting to move my house because its in the way of my boardwalk

yeah, you should move it then !

Good luck to you too

#

How much space should I put between nooks and abels?

#

Maybe none and just create a parking lot in front of them?

paper tendon
#

that’d work or maybe do a place to lock up your bikes between them or like market stalls then the parking lot in front?

woven drift
#

So leave space in between fir stalls then?

paper tendon
#

if you’re like that idea! thats just what i’d do but then again i dont have a city theme for my island

woven drift
#

Hmm.....

#

I’m placing them to the left of the boardwalk, so maybe i can spare a little space for some stalls

And maybe a little grafitti

@paper tendon I personally never flattened my island! But if you decide it would be simpler for you to execute your vision then do it! If it’s not that necessary then just flatten what you want to manipulate the most

neon glen

@scenic herald it's too diagonal and straight imo, u could make it more asymmetrical and add more curves to it or maybe make it skinnier

Anyone wanna visit I’m not sure what to do with my island

paper tendon
#

@dusky wave ok!! ty! im not sure what im gonna do yet im considering it but its so pricey ://

scenic herald
#

@neon glen i could try!! with how my entrance is and the island to the left it's a bit hard to do that with where i have the memorial tucked down by the beach, but i could maybe make it wind around??? extend the island a little and i was planning on putting an island on the other side where the river is? so... kinda make a pathway like that maybe?

dusky wave
#

@paper tendon for my island atleast, i went more for a natural looking island structure, less city like or modern! But it all depends

neon glen
#

@paper tendon imo i don't think it's worth flattening, but some ppl like to flatten bc it gives them a nice clean slate to work with. but i found it too overwhelming so i flattened it in sections !

#

is flattening your island worth it? idk man
@paper tendon I've flattened and worked in sections before and I like the latter; it gives u a smaller area to work with so it's less stress and u can spend time earning money in between if. Flattening is worth it tho if ur trying to terraform lots of cliffs/big cliffs

paper tendon

@neon glen thats smart, i’ll do that! ty guys!! i think ill just move all the buildings to the beach though so they’re out of the way e.e

@scenic herald I would def take advantage of the curves from the path and make the road look more dynamic instead of straight! Unless that's what you're going for (tho if u wanted a straight road I find the in game dirt path to look the best)

scenic herald
#

@plain forge i can def try to manipulate it!!! thank you! i really liked this path so i'm trying to use it over the ones that are in the game

ornate drum
#

I've flattened my entire island and rebuilt from that, and tbh I regret it a lot.it seems like a waste of time to flatten cliffs when your next project had a cliff there anyway. I would definitely plan ahead instead of flattening everything in the future. That being said a flat island gives me tonnes of space to expand my flower inventory and I can trade flowers freely Now xD

clear vale
#

Any recommendations on adding or removing items/paths? Its going good so far but feels a little empty especially around the rock path

neon glen
#

yeah i wouldn't flatten unless u have a clear plan on what u wanna do! plus a lot of ppl flatten and remove their rivers and they struggle to recreate natural looking rivers

woven drift
#

Oh god natural looking rivers are so hard to make

wraith veldt
#

Anybody have any drive-in movie theaters?

woven drift
#

Mine are so square right now

neon glen
#

yeah if a natural island is what you're going for, i wouldn't remove your default rivers until you're more used to the waterscaping tool :')

plain forge
#

Making rivers natural takes a lot of time and effort; I always look at my map as I waterscape and it helps with gauging/building the natural curves

neon glen
#

yeah definitely, i remember i removed my rivers on my first island and i tried to terraform new rivers after that and it looked so bad

yeah definitely, i remember i removed my rivers on my first island and i tried to terraform new rivers after that and it looked so bad
@neon glen i tried to shrink my rivers, and ended up with very unnatural rivers

clear vale
#

guys how do i improve? im not done setting up the fences
@dusky wave I would say space out the graves instead of having them lined up, the area will look more full. Some black and orange flowers would look good

dusky wave
#

@clear vale thank you!

:D

#

IDEAS pls:

  • For the Museum area ! Cottage core vibes !!
clear vale
#

I'm planning on having my museum in a forest near the back of my island

#

The museum will be in front of a second layer, so terraforming around it with cedar trees in front

dusky solar
#

@dusky wave id say remove some of the stone path directly under the graves! That way it looks more realistic like there's actually something buried under

dusky wave
#

@dusky solar can’t believe i didn’t think of that! thanks!

ionic raft

#

Made some modifications! Any other suggestions? feel free to be brutally honest!!

#

anyone have pics of how they did their ables?? id like to see pls for inspo

icy sedge
#

@dusky wave It is really nice! Maybe open up some more grass, leaving the stone path as more of a boarder for the cemetery - like real life graveyards aren't totally paved 😁

little oak
#

Can anyone show what you put in the area behind/directly behind resident services? My RS is located in the middle of my island and I'm trying to figure out the layout behind it.

dusky solar
#

@little oak I raised the area behind RS up one level so that the view wouldn't be blocked! Its currently a farm/pumpkin patch

little oak
#

@dusky solar I was thinking the same about raising it, but I don't like how the cliff side looks directly behind RS :/ idk if I should add a wide waterfall or not. Do you have pictures?

#

@dusky solar I was even thinking of making the area like a little holiday/seasonal area. Like all things decorated for Halloween, Christmas, Easter, etc

dusky solar
#

I'm at work rn so unfortunately I dont have pics. But I added a couple trees and plants in front of the cliff so it doesn't look so barren and flat! A seasonal area sounds cute!

Any ideas what I can do here for some decoration? (Is that correct English? pls don’t judge me if it is not haha)

#

Maybe benches, I think lanterns and some other stuff would look nice emojicatlove

cedar mountain
upper tapir
#

@fathom yacht could also do stuff like a pumpkin patch or crop farm in the back, and fill the spaces around with rocks, logs, mushrooms diys, etc.

#

rocks as in the diys

carmine depot
#

Ok so my entrance is a decent space away from my airport and it’s one block off centre however I want to do one of those islands that have the diagonal bridges as soon as you exit the airport. I have a rural European them. Do you think with enough work I could make it look good?

#

I could just experiment though, I have enough bells to try it!

tidal wyvern
#

You could try it with that amount of space

carmine depot
#

Ok I just checked and it’s 17 squares away from my airport and is actually 2 squares off centre to the right and the bridge would be facing left. Will that look even weirder?

#

I guess I just go for it and hope for the best!

Hmm
I find myself truncating my own designs to make way for new stuff very often

can anyone tell me the name of the benches used in this image?

@fathom yacht could also do stuff like a pumpkin patch or crop farm in the back, and fill the spaces around with rocks, logs, mushrooms diys, etc.
@upper tapir how can I get the mushroom diys? I don’t have any yet

tidal wyvern
#

So when you enter my island, you see a mini waterfall on the left, and a big waterfall straight ahead followed by a path leading to the right. When you enter resident services you see this mini waterfall. I’m curious, I wanna put my house next to my entrance on a cliff so I can get to it faster but idk if I should raise the small pond up to the cliff for my house, should I?

@fathom yacht i believe they start in november for north (i dont have them either)

Rip it sent upside down lol

spark leaf
#

So I want to move my museum to this empty area I’m standing at, but idk if I should put it up on a 2nd or third level, or leave it at the first level and decorate around it. My island used to be very flat so I’m trying to change it up a bit, and I’m not sure if I should leave the area flat or build it up a bit. What do y’all think?

uncut spindle
#

@spark leaf I think it would look cool on the second or third layer, plus you could make one of those sunken digsite areas if you did it that way

spark leaf
#

@uncut spindle my only fear is over leveling, if that makes sense. I want to make it so you have to go up and down kinda thing

lone beacon
#

Decided to take down my island and build id up again. This is what i came up with so far.

rich bobcat
nova vale
#

Ok so here is my island in its current state (its currently 100% weeds in all blank spaces because I moved some rocks.) I would like to remove the flower farm and fill the blank space on the right with something also but my ideas are dry and everything I try doesnt really * fit *
And the space on the left is rather large too so idk really what to do... I was thinking make a small useable farming area on the right and just deal with the left, but like I said... brainfluff

spring talon
nova vale
#

Remove the bridge and make it a little picnic area / park / secret garden kinda thing? Add some ducks to the pond and a cute picnic set and some trees, some nice benches etc?

ionic coral
#

Maybe a mini rice field would look nice or just some rural japanese style or design. I think that’d look really cool

dawn marsh
#

Okayyy so i need some inspo for beau’s cottage corr yard!

I believe if you search cottagecore in this channel you can find some ideas

@hasty sleet it looks great! @desert isle that’s perfect !
@woven drift me too, i honestly think i’m just going to redo it

desert isle

love it

woven drift
#

@lusty radish currently I’m building a big city vibe but its not looking anywhere near where I want it to

lusty radish
#

@woven drift then redo it! what’s the point on working on something you don’t really like? at some point you’re not even going to want to work on it at all

tidal pebble
#

Still can’t believe how much more refined my island has become 😍

awesome isaheartwave

@lusty radish i like the aesthetic of the big city islands but I can’t seem to get it the way I want it

lusty radish
#

that’s awesome as well wowmarshalflurrypeeklurk

#

@woven drift i suggest watching a bunch of island tours - tutorials. just keep working at it until you like it. it’s all trial and error

tidal pebble
#

I love seeing the bit that have stayed the same I leveled all my cliffs early and I’m trying to go back more to the original river design

hasty sleet
#

@lusty radish thanks now my next step is to finish all my other villager yards

lusty radish
#

@hasty sleet that’s great isahearts

woven drift
#

@lusty radish i have been but I cant seem to create anything similar

#

It just feels to flat after everything ive done

lusty radish
#

@woven drift then try and make up something on your own, pinterest helps me a bunch for inspiration. also adding a bunch of cliffs can make it seem fuller. random furniture too. i suggest looking at a bunch of pictures and taking what you like most about them, then try and recreate - make something like it cocoderpysmile

tidal pebble
#

Pintrest was a HUGE inspo help !!

split stirrup
#

What can i do with this spot around Dobies House?
@spring talon definitely a zen garden. I think it fits his style. AND KEEP THE BRIDGE! you can add on to the lake and make a river/waterfall thing with bamboo trees, too. I hope this helps

tidal pebble
split stirrup
#

I plan to make a rock garden. How is this spot?
@desert isle try adding some waterfalls. (i am obsessed with waterfalls) in the back and back sides.

desert isle
#

@split stirrup I would rather not. It’s my forest area, and I’m not a fan of waterfalls that don’t have a lake below them to flow into. Doesn’t make sense

split stirrup
#

oh ok then

desert isle
#

Thanks for the suggestion tho ^^

split stirrup
#

yw also I have another one lol maybe u could add a stone arch too and some bamboo trees

#

Yup! Totally gonna do that

#

The stone arch, not the bamboo oops

lol ok

@tidal pebble the lil ducky is so cute !! love ur map <3

@gaunt oriole Yeah, I got pretty lucky with the public benches

Ideally I'd LOVE to have green and orange though 😭

#

They'd go perfectly with my park

The colour of the roses I have around my island are the same colour as the benches I have though, so I can't complain too much really lol. But the orange and green ones would look amazing for this season!

Besides cottagecore and city styles what are other types of islands do people make?

neon glen
#

@woven drift island themes r pretty limited tbh due to the lack of items - there's japanese towns and kidcore

woven drift
#

Wasn’t there a list of island themes on this server

neon glen
#

it's more like a list of ideas they can make for diff areas on their island

woven drift
#

I just want to visit every style so I can decide if I’m going to redecorate

neon glen
#

it's not so much of list of themes

woven drift
#

I thought i saw a list once before

tiny bison
#

wait can someone show me a kidcore island

woven drift
#

I have this list

neon glen
#

tropical island is another theme, but thats all i can think of on the top of my head

woven drift
#

I thought there was a list someone made for all the island themes that people had come up with

#

Cottagecore, fairycore, city, tropical and i thought there might be more ideas

neon glen
#

tbh i think u should look at island tours on yt. theres a bunch of good themed islands if u look

woven drift
#

I just want to get a decent idea if redecorating my island is a good idea, because ive began to hate mine

neon glen
#

like i said,, i feel like u could benefit from watching city yt tours. or explore other themed islands

woven drift
#

And as I said I have been watching yt for tours and such

bitter inlet
#

I’ve seen someone do an abandoned island before

woven drift
#

Wasn’t that on yt, I haven’t watched it yet

bitter inlet
#

there’s also medieval/RPG

plain forge
#

I mean there's plenty of themes to choose from, even with limited items in game u just gotta be creative

tight vault
#

My theme is a natural small city/town

#

I mean with terrain

plain forge
#

Castlecore, farmcore, urban, port city, abandoned, desert, industrial, space, celestial, medieval/old timey, tropical/tropical resort, jungle, etc

woven drift
#

My theme is a natural small city/town
@tight vault thats what i started with but i made everything too flat

ionic raft
neon glen
#

farmcore could be considered cottagecore imo. castlecore, urban, city, industrial, etc etc to me can be put under city themes

tight vault
#

I mean what should I do with my terraaaiiinnn, those spots are just very empty and im looking for some terrain to add like a lake or maybe another mountain area or something

plain forge
#

^ Yeah, all city but tweaking it makes it different and thus diff aesthetics~

tight vault
#

Not city city, something like a populated town with a nice aesthetic

#

Not like New York city, more like a small city with short buildings and beautiful landscape

neon glen
#

yeah theres a bunch of city themes, but tbh a lot of these themes can be generalized into a city theme

tight vault
#

Okay nvm, town theme

neon glen
#

that being said i do enjoy the multiple city themes ppl have created, it's refreshing 2 see when cottagecore is everywhere

plain forge
#

Besides, it's not a rule set in stone that u have to have a theme either... Just make what you like; lots of people do mixed themes. I started with medieval and forest, but then added a desert, wetland, and fairy tale elements.

neon glen
#

yeah u can do multi-themes!! tho the biggest struggle is flow

tight vault
#

I know the theme im going for, but I'm not asking for themes. I'm asking for what I should add to this empty landscape 😭

#

I've been running dry on landscape ideas

#

Especially on this area of my map

neon glen
#

we're not talking to u about the themes.. someone's struggling w choosing a theme 💀

tight vault
#

Okay well @ would help right about now because I'm getting confused

wary bolt
#

@tight vault u can make it like a forest or something idk

plain forge
#

Might be a copout for me but making rivers to divide two different themed areas works well and allows it to "flow"

neon glen
#

yeah that's what i do, i like making "gates" or separate areas w rivers

#

i'm too uncreative to do anything else transition wise

#

lolol

wary bolt
#

I need to chop down my trees bc they keep getting in my way and making me feel uncreative afff

#

I can’t work w them

plain forge
#

Lol tbh if it works it works!!

tidal pebble
#

A lake would be cute or your campsite maybe @tight vault

neon glen
#

lol yes ! i've been trying to transition areas w trees lately.. i feel like i have a lot of "gates" to other areas lmaoo

tight vault
#

A lake would be cute or your campsite maybe @tight vault
@tidal pebble hmm, I was actually thinking of adding my campsite somewhere on this part of the mountain but for some reason it just doesn't feel right with this mountain shape being vertical

tidal pebble
#

Maybe like a Forrest picnic area @tight vault

plain forge
#

Yeah ever since I discovered jail bars I've used them in so many places.. This might not work for city themes (unless it's an alley) but making secret passages to different areas also makes the transition smoother!

wary bolt
#

Can I use all ur islands ??🙈

neon glen
#

yeah im trying not to use the jail bars that much, but i did use them as gates for my forest area

wary bolt
#

I MEAN SEE* JXJDISKSOX

ionic raft
#

Also if it makes you feel better, I rework my terraforming on my island constantly

tight vault
#

Maybe like a Forrest picnic area @tight vault
@tidal pebble before I made the forest, I wanted to add something to the area like yeah. Maybe a lake... but I feel like it needs allot more

wary bolt
#

I wanna terraform so many things but idk if I can make it work cause my island has been flat for so long

#

Like I took down all my cliffs n stuff

Tho I'm tearing it down again since I finished this theme so I can start on a new project 🤣

neon glen
#

yeah my island is pretty flat rn, but i think the trees help!! tho ig i can get away w flatness since i have a towny area

wary bolt
#

Idk what kind of theme to go with

#

For now since it’s Halloween I want to make a spooky theme

carmine depot
#

I teared down my cottagecore to make way for my countryside island! Except it’s gonna be more like towny and farmers market :))

#

I have a witch cove and abandoned graveyard where I placed a few halloween items, tho with the update I feel a good handfull of ppl are making their island spooky/halloween themed so u can prob find lots of inspo in #dream-addresses🌜 @wary bolt
