start with making a nice entrance and shop area
wat theme are you going for?
@willow stump maybe focus on one area at a time?
idk
then you can put in more interesting ideas slowly
i have no prior knowledge of animal crossing games
me either
i guess a normal theme
Like is it to big to have it as a path around the island
start with making a nice entrance and shop area
@inland gate wdym shop area
this is my first ac game too, there's a bunch of themes ppl do like a natural theme or a city theme
oh uh no theme really i guess
honestly themed islands are cool but its way easier to just put random stuff that you like
there's a lot of ac pictures floating around in pinterest or u could find island tours on yt!
@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
Ok so is 2 the right size then
oh and by shop area i mean some people make marketplaces in front of their nooks cranny with stalls
and put extra diys there
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
that makes sense
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
@thick goblet this is two spots.
Yeah I think I will go with that
oh i see
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
where's the shop in front of it
its to the side
can i see
i don't have the tour video on hand but they put it symmetrically on the other side of their plaza
sorry
wdym
they put it in front of their plaza too but on the other side
why that would look weird
can i see
no bc thats a screenshot and i don't have one of that
its from a video from a while ago
oh ok
u could place it next to each other too and add stalls ?
can you show me other ideas
not mine
Omg that is so pretty @neon glen
that's nice
ty but it's not mine ! LOLOL
you can look on pinterest and google
Yeah there are tons of photos online
just search "nh nooks cranny" or something
ok
Also instagram accounts for it too
i don't use instagram
That's probably good cause it's not a great platform haha
@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
@neon glen sure! i haven't seen it since maybe june before i got the game so i want to find it again too
Does anyone have a statue garden inspo?
@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
Before and after(i lost my original screenshot for the original map so i had to search for it online)
I love your north river, do you have stuff on the islands?
The seed was so good
You can look for yourself, the DA is on it
Its a relatively stock level 5 star island
@ornate jetty I will try to remember to visit later. I'm in a middle of a grand village redesign haha
Man i never had to do that but gl mate
@ornate jetty haha thanks - this is my 4th time
God
I'm moving away from a summery peninsula vibe to a winter wonderland pine tree extravaganza
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
I removed 1 piece of fence from my island and it dropped from 5 to 4 stars
@woven drift haha omg
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
What are snowboys?
Snow golems
I need flat island ideas I’ve flattened it & now don’t know where to begin
Basically the only way to get frozen furniture diy in winter
@ornate jetty yep. this I know.
@lyric quest I love that idea. Make a super cool Redd beach. With pirate stuff.
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
@vast peak I wanna make it Halloween themed but it’s hard to get all the materials
@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.
@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
Oh yeah scroll up there were really cool ideas earlier
Awesome
Roundabouts are pog
Is that your solar farm to the left
Looks awesome!
wish we could bulk eat fruit like we can for turnips 
Finally getting to my beaches
Kiki's birthday today ! This is her space I made for her :)
About to double my play time in the next week alone
My playtime has increased by 55 hours since the fall update came out 😔
i havent played in like 3 months 
I-
i know ive already said this twice yesterday, but has ANYONE made a swamp/marsh/spooky forest/pond
i should probably play shouldnt i
I kinda hate my theme so I haven’t played in a while but I can’t change it cause my siblings are on my island :/
@woven drift just do what i do and move a building, then time travel a day, and repeat
Damn i wish i could have this creativity
ready for Halloween 🎃
Damn i wish i could have this creativity
@upper ridge same haha
does anyone have an idea as to what i could put on O'Hare's yard? What furniture and flowers i should put
I’m trying to make a small park/ garden and this is what I have, any ideas that would make it better. Want to increase rating
put some stuff on the table like a picnic basket and add some flowers
Thanks
My work in progress diner (ignore the bad editing job!) 💖
does anyone have cute pink,white, and other other cute girly colored theme islands where they can send some inspo for cute things?
my map so far, i’ve invested over 400 hours in this game so far and it’s not even close to being done T^T
@lone mason looks amazing! My idea is too add some decoration but it looks sooo good!:)
thanks!
Morning shots from around my island.
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
I'm dissatisfied with my island and I don't really know what to do about it. Here's what it looks like so far
Got any ideas?
My halloween fair flea market
oh god sorry for the image dump I thought discord would merge them together or something
After 3 days, I finally finished my entrance. I like it a lot (heavily inspired by @covert tartan’s entrance)
nice entrance
Guys do you think i should change anything about the market?
I feel like it might be too crowded
omg no, it's perfect. crowded looks so good @dense sundial !!
Which fence would look better for a boardwalk?
Thank you so much @spark dune !
I think i like the brick the most but it depends on what you will put there
@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!
@scenic herald maybe behind the secret beach?
yeh the blue fence, mike
wow im happy that someone like that
Blue with the terracotta ground?
@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!
thank u so much 😄
Oh yeah that would be really cool @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!!! 😱
@tidal wyvern it looks great! glad to have been able to provide inspiration 😊
@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
Thank you! 
@woven drift ah rip.... then if you don’t use customs I’d say the stone ones for it!
@tidal wyvern your name is literally amazing
yes ikr ty i love yours more
@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
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?
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
Anyone have a grid for the whole island?
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!
I disagree honestly
Tyy
Any bamboo neighborhood ideas? Or just bamboo houses

what villagers have good cabin/log house exteriors?
what else could i add to this workshop/diy area?
Hey so I wanna put a pumpkin patch on my island and im looking for some inspiration. If anyone here has a pumpkin patch area, would you mind DMing me a pic? I would love to see and get some ideas! Thank you!
I'm not sure if I should stick with wood path or terricotta
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!
@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!!!!
@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
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
@mossy rampart I thought it could tie things together!! A pathway!!! And yes ok! I can’t wait to see!!!!
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
Zari, if you dig a hole you should be able to plant in that hole!!
anyone have any halloween entrace ideas?
It says „there‘s no space to plant things in this area!“ :((
@hollow cypress i dont think u can place a tree directly next to water. it needs to be one space apart from the river
Okay.. thanks!
i finally finished my rock circle after literal WEEKS of struggle !!
Any ideas on how to make my entrance look nicer?
@left vine I know the feels I have same formation for mine
i wanna have a halloween entrance so leave suggestions <3

@ember matrix maybe a pumpkin carving area

@woven drift Why dont u get off the Discord then lol
ops on this? idk if i like it
i like it! the paths are a bit off though, perhaps get rid of a few inside the big patch of them. i think that should help it a bit :)

Lots of hay bales
dark brown everything with some lighter accents works great with fall colors
Does anyone have any cute pumpkin patch ideas? My is kinda boring rn
I’m not sure for other ideas but this is what my pumpkin patch looks like if it helps you @lilac owl
adding hay bales also look really good with pumpkin patches :) wheelbarrows are good too

Hi could I see people's island entrances please? I'm struggling to know what to do with me, so looking for some inspo 🙏 thank you xx
@frail robin I'll post mine! It's not done. X
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?
@Squideroni#5648 here's mine
@dense sundial I can barely make a pond and you can do this!
@dense sundial that's very cute, love the flooring!
thank you!
Any opinions? My peninsula area is pretty narrow so it was hard to make a good cliff
@lilac owl that is my pumpkin patch i just made it farm-ish
Any opinions? My peninsula area is pretty narrow so it was hard to make a good cliff
@outer lichen i think it looks really good, only thing I would do is add a painting of of the light house next to it and a chair
okay i think i have an extra chair somewhere lol. Thanks
Thank you all for the ideas 😊😊
@frail robin as promised! I just wanted to do a little forestry pathway with different types of trees, flowers and bushes! Hope this helps!
@dense sundial do you have the path codes for the rows of dirt ?
Ohh my bad thank you lol
@dawn bison love your paths.... Do you have the codes please?
@frail robin I don't, unfortunately.
@dawn bison ah dang, nevermind /)
@dawn bison the lil picnic area is so cute! i love it
It took me a week to find zen cushions.
worth it
has any1 got inspo for a star garden ?
This is my spooky enterance I think it’s pretty cool. Any suggestions?
Sprinkle’s house
I luv it @rugged fern
@fossil frost thanks, I thought with a name like Sprinkle. It called for something sweet
Color areas. Making purple, blue and white soon!
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!!
Does anyone have ideas for an entrance mine is kinda sucky lol
@woven drift
@vast falcon add vegetation
do you have terraforming?
@woven drift this is what I have now
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
@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?
trees, cedar and hardwood, maybe seasonal stuff, like mushrooms or sth. mix them trees up for more natural look!
also shrubs @vast falcon
So to search for ideas do I type in:island-layoutshas:image[idea insert here]
@vast falcon do you have a pumpkin patch yet on your island?
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?
@teal kayak a maze?? i have one in the back of my island, it does take up a decent chunk of land, but it looks so pretty !!
@untold lily yes! I already made a little section for my spooky stuff which included a pumpkin patch!
Do any of you guys have zen and suspended bridges? I'd like to see what's it's like once its on the island, I can't decide between the two. Ty!
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
I have a red zen bridge
This is what mine looks like.. it bridges to my other side of my island with 4 other houses and a massive garden
Don’t know if it helped.. but yeah
It helped dw! I just couldnt imagine anything when I looked at it in the catalog 😂 😂
my airport kinda close anyone have some enterance ideas that are
a) easy
b) dont look dumb as shit
@hollow cypress i dont have the space nor skill to pull that off

yep
my island makes me want to delete the fucking game on a day to day basis
i am proud of exactly nothing in it
pain
????
i am proud of exactly nothing in it
@willow stump im sure thats not true 🙂
Dont be so harsh on yourself
Can someone help me with forming a 6 rock garden circle? I just need to visually see one or someone who knows how to search in the channel because I can't get it to work, I'm not familiar really with discord functions

I’ve changed a few things slightly since these pictures but!!! Hopefully they’ll give some inspo!

i only just got KK to my island, so im not sure about layout things
I have zucker and I put down a lil pond and a sushi bar thingy and he loves to sleep at the pand and talk to stitches at the little sushi bar
@warped umbra i think you should try the terricotta path! i think it looks nice by farms
Thanks!
I have zucker and I put down a lil pond and a sushi bar thingy and he loves to sleep at the pand and talk to stitches at the little sushi bar
@winged sphinx what is this sushi bar?!
It’s got a few I’d codes but basically like a place with fruits and pannels that look like shelf’s withsushi on it and got arcade chairs in front of a stall that’s coloured to look cute
man i wanna decorate my whole island but my island straight up looks like newbies who have everything miscellaneous. like i’ve never seriously decorated or made modifications.
It’s got a few I’d codes but basically like a place with fruits and pannels that look like shelf’s withsushi on it and got arcade chairs in front of a stall that’s coloured to look cute

i'm moving nana's house but this is the size of zucker's yard
Which one will look the best here? ampsite, museum, or my house
I dunno, I need context on the area around it
That’s pretty that’s bigger than his on my island bc pietro have a full city for a garden 😂
That’s pretty that’s bigger than his on my island bc pietro have a full city for a garden 😂
@winged sphinx pietro has the same size yard and i gave him all of the music stuff 😂
It’s a 9x10 area at the corner of my island
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
Just finished my small beach Market, but I'm still not sure what to put infront of my nooks, any tips?
Cute!!
Ty:)
i gave zucker a stack of books 😂
Cute 😂 he will now become a teacher to “teach my bug friends how to read” 😂😂
i didnt do anything to impressive but i gave raymond a little outdoor cafe/dining type area i guess

oopsie
I really need help! 😭 I’m struggling with terraforming my entrance to the left, around resident services, and in the area above the incline. Anyone have a similar map? I’m going for an autumn foresty vibe. It also looks ugly on my map but it’s nice in game and thats bugging me tbh..
i post the raymond yard thing again since it's the only thing i'm sorta proud of on my island
Omg that looks awesome!
@winged sphinx Thanks! Does anyone else get super stressed and anxious terraforming 🥺
Yes I do don’t worry I messed up and I have to redo my full thing last month bc I was stressing about it 😂
does anyone have ideas i could use for raymonds yard
Maybe try put a desk and some books because he likes that type of stuff doesn’t he?
ok ty
@willow stump I think its a great start! I love how the variation of the natural garden table goes with the wooden path 🥰
does anyone have ideas i could use for raymonds yard
@woven drift i just did an outside table i don't have much talent but if i can do this anyone can
@willow stump I think its a great start! I love how the variation of the natural garden table goes with the wooden path 🥰
@rancid epoch thank

ooookay change of plans. ozzie’s moving instead 😂
@raw steppe 😂😂😂

@rancid epoch again this just makes my island look like trash
@quartz wharf i love what u did
i don't have the space or skill to do something super complex nor the diys or items
You can ask me I have scattered paper diy book shelf diy and things like that
@willow stump Your’s doesn’t look like trash trust me! I can happily gift you some items for free to help with his house outside 😊
phew. okay. everyone's yards are set up
@woven drift Wow that looks amazing!
I feel you 😂 It takes me so long to complete one thing and I always end up changing it..
abandoned beach train tracks
Changed up my residents services! The little islands look great
Added a small train track by Lyman’s house because why not
Hey y'all! So im redoing my island and im thinking of doing a cottage core theme. Here's my map. (Still in the process of tearing things down)
Anyone got some tips/ideas that I can start off with once im done tearing everything down?
I have a large woodsy area on my island, can someone give me an idea of what I should do with it?
@midnight dawn omg that is so cute! Do u have any other pictures of your island that you could share?! It’s so pretty!!
@wispy tiger
how y’all get these amazing photos taken bye 
Any good spooky layouts? Looking for inspiration for my graveyard
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
@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!!!
@devout pelican No problem! This is also cute!
ooo im definitley gonna sae that
raymond and sherbs finished yards. need some more ideas for sherb since it's hard to come up w original ideas
any ideas for what to do for sherbs
Single or double
Help... I need big Epic 😎 ideas
Single or double
@barren mesa double
@woven drift make yards for your dreamies
it's fun and nice to do for the villagers you like
I agree but I have all my villager places done
Is anyone down to visit and throw me ideas?
try some cedar trees, bushes, and flowers
couple of my favourite spots so far :0 i flattened myisland totally in july and then didnt pick the game up again until like 4 days ago lmao but it's been fun building stuff and making everything different
i still have loads to do lol, but im mostly happy with these bits so far
YES
Does anyone have any ideas for like a shine? I'm trying to make a little spot dedicated to my diety but I'm drawing blanks for what to use
@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. The more elaborate ones have a table in front of a statue with candles, fruit basket and classic pitcher on it to look like offerings, sorta like in the pic
peoples get really decorative for a piece of paper, not saying it’s stupid or anything but it’s beautiful 
Wdym a piece of paper? The villager photo?

My Monster ** SPOOKY **House.
Im building rn a plant garden (for like the potted plants in the game), and I'm not sure where I could put it where it would look nice?
Does anyone have any good areas that are creepy/ eerie ? I need some inspo even just like little decor u put near ur paths or something
Does this path look good?
@slow grove did u make it?
No
hm
I mean its eh
it looks good but not that good in this area specifically
like its almost trying too hard to be spooky so its just... pffrt
Ah gotcha
I feel like maybe a eerie dark dirt path would totally fit the feel
Thanks!
I wish i was as talented as u
This is my only decorated part on my island-
ive spent a year trying to figure out a theme for my island lol
Aww
I want it to be efficient yet pretty
Would this path look better for it? (Not mine btw)
yeah like that!
exactly what i was thinking
ive spent a year trying to figure out a theme for my island lol
@woven drift ive spent 6 months trying to perfect my them and it still sucks monkey butt
Ok, I’ll try this one out
Monkey butt lmAo
Im trying to come up with a concept where i can easily swap out decor for different hollidayw
like christmas and halloween
Ah
cause i dont wanna redo my whole islands paths every 3 months yknow
same
My overall theme is large city but it just doesn’t feel right yet
unfortunately people dont have time to waste on helping you design a whole ass thing
ugh one of these people
I mean we are in lockdown
I hate people who just randomly send pictures and stuff like that
its annoying af
I want someone to help me out cri
@woven drift you’re better off starting on your own and asking for advice for individual areas here
^
I hate people who just randomly send pictures and stuff like that
@woven drift Especially since they do it in the wrong places
mhm
and htey do it on purpose
Ty for the feedback btw ❤️
like oo i want to randomly send a pic of ronald mcdonald
oh god hes typing
oh i think he gone
aight
Should we report them when that happens?
probably
especcially since hes still doin it
How do i report someone
i forgot the command
!report @spring harbor
nope didnt work
Are you on comp or mobile?
me?
Yes
pc
god this guy makes me want to die
Ok then I cant help because I used a different way on mobile
should i DM orvbot?
Yes do that
hey ronald, ron, old chum, can you please stop putting a bunch of annoying images in this chat? I would apreciate it.
if not then i will have to resort to contacting staff
You should contact staff anyway
nah
im givin him one more chance
Its spam, and it’s unrelated to the channel
True, but nobody really directly asked him to stop
see looks like hes stopped

Deer Bones Said Trans Rights
Pumpkin farm coming along nicely 
should i use log suspension bridge or the zen bridge? it’s for my foresty area !
Finished my zen garden themed restaurant :))
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?
@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 ^^
@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.
Anyone willing to help me design my city entrance
@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?
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
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?
This is what ive started so far
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?
in a moment! let me find photos of simple panels on cliffs i think that might help you !!
Thoughts?
@paper tendon you mean like this, this is on my upper part of my island
similar to that, yeah! also using servers would work too as like little buildings at night? things like this too, raised on a cliff with a city vibe to it
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
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
@verbal obsidian nicely haunted
hi all! i’m looking for some graveyard inspiration? ✨
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
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?
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.
could you possibly move them?
Hmm.... possibly
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?
Do you mean to create a cliff behind the rs for them to go on?
not exactly, you have your shops beside the plaza, yes?
@verbal obsidian i love that so much! that path works so well, yesss! could i maybe have a gander at the code... 👀✨
Yes they are on each side of rs
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?
So I would have to move them twice then?
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
Honestly moving nooks ruins the aesthetic ive created for it
its just an idea ^^
@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?
@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? ✨🌸
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!
And it didn’t fit the spot I wanted
oh? whats that??
One space too wide for nooks to fit where I was thinking
check pins they might have size chart for buildings !
or at least it thought they had the chart let me see
So the tailor would fit in the spot I have open, but then I still need a spot for nooks 🙁
hmm may i suggest checking out city speed build videos on youtube?
Maybe I can put my house in the open spot, that would allow me to move abels, and nooks to my boardwalk I started
if you have the bells i say try it! 
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 !
I like this i get to live next to a waterfall fountain
no thoughts just judy | pretty proud of her yard, i was happy to see her there
She is so darn cute
@magic hawk thats really cute! judy matches the flowers :00
does anyone else have issues on where to put certain areas on your island 😔 i wanna create the great fairy fountain from majora’s mask but not sure where to put it on my island aaaaa
Aaaaa my yard is smaller now, 😑
terraforming has me 
Looking for ideas for what to put in front of these two houses
a garden or seating area for both villagers? or perhaps a pond and some trees? fences?
@paper tendon terraforming has my head spinning rn
Something like this? This was my base setup of this home, I’ve added more since @violet zephyr
a garden or seating area for both villagers? or perhaps a pond and some trees? fences?
@paper tendon that’s a good idea. I do have a fire pit I just got
@woven drift me too gahhhh its nice but frustrating at times 
@verbal obsidian that looks great 🙂
I thought I was doing well, then someone came over and reviewed my island and basically made it feel like crap
I was already feeling like it needed help
i feel that.. i tore down and redone my entrance 5 times and counting
This will be 4th time redoing the whole island
the amount of times i restarted mine oh man !!
terraforming rly out here being difficult
What hurts even more is seeing these amazing islands on YouTube
Agreed
This is giving me as much stress as finding a new job
the island tours.. 
I did one of those earlier and hated myself afterwards
SAME
how do people even have the energy to create such beautiful islands im still on a 3 star rating
no thoughts head empty
Ive had a 5 star rating for months now, just can’t put my ideas down on my island in a way that makes it look the way I want
understandable i havent done much terraforming bc im scared of failure and cant figure out how to do the idea i have in my head !! its like artists block but with animal crossing ugghh
I started by doing one small area at a time
But eventually it all started looking too flat
my area has pretty much no cliffs in my city area but imo it doesn't look flat! adding trees helped a lot
It’s like im on a Stepp hill
i have to move all my villagers houses to the beach but low on bells so i havent started anything 
i took advantage of the hype lul racked up a bunch of bells and nmt by charging entry fees for turnip
i had to stop playing for a few months so im behind with only 4M bells i need more for buildings and inclines then my house n ughh it sucks
I just sold enough of my own earned nmt to pay off my house then focused on the island
i should of made bank on raymond when i had him i just felt bad charging ppl so i usually give things/villagers away TvT
Help, how do I get 5 stars
I could still make a gas station without it being part of nooks right?
ofc! i’ve seen them other places before
@rose kestrel lots of flowers, and furniture
Also clean up any trash on the island
@paper tendon at times I regret buying this game
does anyone have an idea of what i could do with a statue of liberty on my cottagecore/rural island? i’d love to make an area for it but i’m not sure what to do hahah
@unique elm put it on a small island in the middle of a pond
Hey guys!! I was wondering which bench i should use in this area? I love both and am hella conflicted
@woven drift i had to buy it since ive played every game before this one- the terraforming is hard but relaxing once you’re in a flow of doing it ^-^
The brown looks best with that fence
@woven drift i had to buy it since ive played every game before this one- the terraforming is hard but relaxing once you’re in a flow of doing it ^-^
@paper tendon I haven’t played every game since I dont have a ds
terraforming is trial and error - most of the time nothing comes out the way u want it to the first time.
does anyone have pics of stepping stones in water to form a path? ive seen it done and need inspo photos if possible ;w;
Not mine but best i could find
hmmm i wanna do something like that with cliffs around to form a secret path to the great fairy fountain area i created from loz wish me luck 
I’ll wish you luck if you wish me luck
deal, good luck ^^
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?
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?
So leave space in between fir stalls then?
if you’re like that idea! thats just what i’d do but then again i dont have a city theme for my island
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
basic question (before I go insane over everything and reset a 3rd time)
Able's left or right from Nook's Cranny?
Ive done both and prefer right
I find it nicer to decorate the left side but idk if I should make an extra path if I put it right
hmmm oke
terraforming when its night in game so you think it looks good you tt to day time n it looks like crap in the light 😔
play minecraft and cook some raw fi ishh because it smells very nasty...ITS THE EYE OF THE SPIDER IT MAKES POISON IN ONE BITE
@brave bay defs the white and pink heart bench. Looks like a wedding!
this is my spooky area! what should i add or remove?
is flattening your island worth it? idk man
terraforming when its night in game so you think it looks good you tt to day time n it looks like crap in the light 😔
@paper tendon that’s exactly how my roads feel
this is the path to my chadwick memorial on my island and i was just looking for some help on how to make it.... look better? i don't hate it, but it's not there for me yet.
(ignore the river on the right) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ej8MpkOVkAA677k?format=jpg&name=large
@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
@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
@dusky wave ok!! ty! im not sure what im gonna do yet im considering it but its so pricey ://
@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?
@paper tendon for my island atleast, i went more for a natural looking island structure, less city like or modern! But it all depends
@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 !
@neon glen i agree!
@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 !
@neon glen exactly what I did
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
@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)
@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
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
Any recommendations on adding or removing items/paths? Its going good so far but feels a little empty especially around the rock path
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
Oh god natural looking rivers are so hard to make
Anybody have any drive-in movie theaters?
Mine are so square right now
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 :')
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
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
guys how do i improve? im not done setting up the fences
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
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
@clear vale thank you!
:D
IDEAS pls:
- For the Museum area ! Cottage core vibes !!
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 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 solar can’t believe i didn’t think of that! thanks!
New entrance ❤️
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
@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 😁
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.
@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
@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
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!
@dusky solar omg... for some reason, I didn't think of trees! Lol. You're a genius! Thank you! 😄
https://twitter.com/tiffacnh_/status/1314817059654569985 current flyover!! super happy w the progress bc 2 months ago my flyover was barren af LOL
can anyone tell me the name of the benches used in this image?
@neon glen your island looks great !!
@paper tendon thank u so much!!
@ionic coral school chairs
thx
ty for the ping! ❤️

Anybody have ideas for new leaf layouts? I'm too broke for new horizons HSHGHS
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 
That’s my entrance 😍 what do u guys think ?
@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
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!
You could try it with that amount of space
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?
@ionic coral might be late but lecture-hall bench if you were still wondering
@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
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)
Ok ty
Changed my campsite think I’m happy with it
Any ideas for what to put here? (Note, this is to the left of my entrance)
My new rock garden!! Thanks to those who suggested 🥺🤍
What bridge should i do here
Do the first one! I think it would fit the path better^^
Tyy!
Does anyone have ideas on where I could put Klaus' house (the highlighted one)
Rip it sent upside down lol
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?
@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
@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
Decided to take down my island and build id up again. This is what i came up with so far.
❤️
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
What can i do with this spot around Dobies House?
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?
Maybe a mini rice field would look nice or just some rural japanese style or design. I think that’d look really cool
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
Thx!
I’m fixing my villagers yards this is Kabuki. Should I add anything else??
Hello people :3 i am honestly stumped on what to do with my island I’m up for literally any suggestions thx in advance 😊👍 feel free to dm if you have any suggestion :))
I plan to make a rock garden. How is this spot?
I’m really fighting the urge to redo my entire island
@hasty sleet it looks great! @desert isle that’s perfect !
@woven drift me too, i honestly think i’m just going to redo it
All ready :D
love it
@lusty radish currently I’m building a big city vibe but its not looking anywhere near where I want it to
@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
Still can’t believe how much more refined my island has become 😍
awesome 
Same tbh. April vs now
@lusty radish i like the aesthetic of the big city islands but I can’t seem to get it the way I want it
that’s awesome as well wow
@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
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
@lusty radish thanks now my next step is to finish all my other villager yards
@hasty sleet that’s great 
@lusty radish i have been but I cant seem to create anything similar
It just feels to flat after everything ive done
@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 
Pintrest was a HUGE inspo help !!
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
“Fixed” my river the straightness was bugging me
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.
@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
oh ok then
Thanks for the suggestion tho ^^
yw also I have another one lol maybe u could add a stone arch too and some bamboo trees
lol ok
@tidal pebble the lil ducky is so cute !! love ur map <3
@brittle isle thank you so much! I’ve really tried to make the island work and have kick butt map to boot
I’m still redoing my island so more water is coming. I’m trying to figure out a new residential area
the ducky pond
so cutee
When I started it I didn’t have it mapped out really yet just in my head from a picture so I was happy with the turn out
This is what it looks like
Well I’m over 600 hours and still hate my island 😭
I think always kinda hate my island 🤷♀️
I’m so depressed now
When see people amazing islands I was ended up feeling mine isn’t enough
dont worry mike, I hate mine too whenever I see everyone elses
I feel that
Once I found a path I liked it was the first time I really liked my island at all
Hey guys can you tell me a standard size for a villager house yard? I'm making my neighborhood rn
I don't need it to be too big
@gaunt oriole there should be a dimension guide in the pinned messages!
still have yards dimentions in the pins 
Oh, yeah, I didn't see it. Thanks!
My spooky hotel lobby is open 👻🎃👻🎃
I change my 'path' so many times, cant find one that I wanna keep lol
there's many kinds : brick , grassy , dirt , rocks , and hard to choose
Anyone have ideas on how I could decorate the large rock areas on the beaches?
@grizzled geode This is how I've decorated one of mine, if that helps?
That looks really nice! Ty! @bleak wind
Ideally
Lucky, you have pink and blue chairs
@gaunt oriole Yeah, I got pretty lucky with the public benches
Ideally I'd LOVE to have green and orange though 😭
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!
i got the white ones 
NICE!
Can someone show me what they’ve done to the exterior of stitches house please?:)
@feral fossil not mine btw
LF a graveyard design, if you could please send me a photo for inspiration 😽
Judy's yard design so far 💕
Very cute
Cute!
Just don't worry so much about how amazing your island looks and enjoy the game
Delete is and start over if you really don't like your island right now

@zenith steppe Jail bars 🙂
Below they are very tall
alright ty, time to find someone to make me jail bars
I can make them 😶
ppl r so dramatic on this channel damn
dramatic?
if i give you mats and some bells as a tip can you make them for me please???
ppl r so dramatic on this channel damn
@neon glen So true 😂
I would make them for free just@gotta supply the recipe
ty! lemme just get the iron together
Ok let me know so I can turn on my switch lol
ill dm you so i dont clog this channel 👍
please dm eachother, @indigo hearth @zenith steppe. 
oops 😩
I figured out how to freeze trees. Only downside being that I cant make the stone outline in the back
Besides cottagecore and city styles what are other types of islands do people make?
@woven drift island themes r pretty limited tbh due to the lack of items - there's japanese towns and kidcore
Wasn’t there a list of island themes on this server
it's more like a list of ideas they can make for diff areas on their island
I just want to visit every style so I can decide if I’m going to redecorate
it's not so much of list of themes
I thought i saw a list once before
wait can someone show me a kidcore island
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/681277827244621855/732491392269418577/acnhislandbuildideasV2.png?width=740&height=671 are you sure it wasn't this picture?
I have this list
tropical island is another theme, but thats all i can think of on the top of my head
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
tbh i think u should look at island tours on yt. theres a bunch of good themed islands if u look
I just want to get a decent idea if redecorating my island is a good idea, because ive began to hate mine
like i said,, i feel like u could benefit from watching city yt tours. or explore other themed islands
And as I said I have been watching yt for tours and such
I’ve seen someone do an abandoned island before
Wasn’t that on yt, I haven’t watched it yet
there’s also medieval/RPG
I mean there's plenty of themes to choose from, even with limited items in game u just gotta be creative
Castlecore, farmcore, urban, port city, abandoned, desert, industrial, space, celestial, medieval/old timey, tropical/tropical resort, jungle, etc
My theme is a natural small city/town
@tight vault thats what i started with but i made everything too flat

farmcore could be considered cottagecore imo. castlecore, urban, city, industrial, etc etc to me can be put under city themes
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
^ Yeah, all city but tweaking it makes it different and thus diff aesthetics~
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
yeah theres a bunch of city themes, but tbh a lot of these themes can be generalized into a city theme
Okay nvm, town theme
that being said i do enjoy the multiple city themes ppl have created, it's refreshing 2 see when cottagecore is everywhere
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.
yeah u can do multi-themes!! tho the biggest struggle is flow
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
we're not talking to u about the themes.. someone's struggling w choosing a theme 💀
Okay well @ would help right about now because I'm getting confused
@tight vault u can make it like a forest or something idk
Might be a copout for me but making rivers to divide two different themed areas works well and allows it to "flow"
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
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
Lol tbh if it works it works!!
A lake would be cute or your campsite maybe @tight vault
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
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
Maybe like a Forrest picnic area @tight vault
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!
Can I use all ur islands ??🙈
yeah im trying not to use the jail bars that much, but i did use them as gates for my forest area
I MEAN SEE* JXJDISKSOX
Also if it makes you feel better, I rework my terraforming on my island constantly
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
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
@wary bolt here's my island map if it helps :)
Box yards? Never heard of them- ((sorry for spam 🗿
My island used to be flat because I was going for a LA city vibe but after completing I changed it to medieval + different climatic regions
Uhhhh MAZING
Tho I'm tearing it down again since I finished this theme so I can start on a new project 🤣
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
Idk what kind of theme to go with
For now since it’s Halloween I want to make a spooky theme
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
Right on!! Thank you @plain forge i appreciate u
anyone have a recommendation for a single tile path to lead up to villager homes, either wood planks or whatever
@wary bolt Here's my map, if that helps?
thank you @wary bolt
Cause I also want to place my villagers houses close but separate from each other
I just flattened my island and I kinda have no idea what to do. Anyone wanna send their maps for inspiration?
@devout berry
Thank you so much!
Welcome good luck
