ducky lake let's goo

[opal skiff]

Is this ground patterning good or should I tweak it a little? I wanted to put smthng here but not quite like, a full path, if that makes sense?

[devout berry]

I think it looks cute!

[opal skiff]

Tysm !! <3

[wispy tiger]

@opal skiff yes it looks so good! I love how u mixed and matched the paths and didn’t have just one!

[tidal pebble]

@opal skiff what if you played with it a bit 👀

I love those blue designs you have

[opal skiff]

Oh ty!! I got it from another creator code, actually. It wasn't me who made them, but the creator's code is MA-2315-6172-3608 if u want 2 use them !! This person made a lot of really pretty designs, so !!

[storm berry]

Hey um, I just finished my island entrance, I don't know if it looks okay so far and I should move on, or if I should move some stuff around or add anything? I just want it to look somewhat natural

That layout is so pretty wow :O

[opal skiff]

@storm berry it looks very cute !!

[tidal pebble]

@storm berry I think it looks good

[storm berry]

Ty!

[tidal pebble]

The spooky fencing is so awesome

[storm berry]

I love it so much

I spent so long trying to get it because I like the other iron fencing, but I wanted something similar to the iron garden set

[tidal pebble]

I really need to find a way to incorporate more fencing

[carmine depot]

Making a start on my entrance! No where near done and path will be changed soon but it’s a start :))

[woven drift]

@carmine depot I like It 😄 !!

[carmine depot]

Thank you!!

[wispy tiger]

@carmine depot woah that looks so amazing!!

[storm berry]

@carmine depot that's so cool!

[verbal obsidian]

[nova vale]

Nope sorry i dont

[woven drift]

I used the frozen treat sets on stalls, Ice cream lamp things and shaved ice machines behind the stall

[nova vale]

ohhh

[last ether]

I finished my mini pumpkin patch (,:

[pale sigil]

that's so cute!!

[verbal obsidian]

I have a shaved ice machine I just got dropped. They are cool!

[molten cargo]

anyone have cool ideal for a diner/eating area?

[plain forge]

I got my island in May and I finally traveled to cherry blossom season 🌸🥺

[fierce snow]

anyone have cool ideal for a diner/eating area?
@molten cargo

[woven drift]

guys what do you think of the street combination? im actuallh trying to make a kingdom kinda theme but idk how 😭

[timber dome]

Really got 5 of the same rock. Now I have to make the last one the same 😤

[west sigil]

Does anyone have any museum entrance ideas

[left vine]

does anyone have a cottagecore island with a canal? i like the way canals look but can’t figure out how to make it look less out of place with the surroundings

[hushed dove]

my little shop area ♡

[teal kayak]

Anyone have any ideas on how I can hide the entrance to my ruins/ dino exhibit? I'm stuck

[tidal pebble]

Maybe some stone archways with simple panels behind them. Alternatively a nice cliff will hide it well @teal kayak

[west sigil]

Ty @cerulean belfry

[heady swallow]

anyone have ideas for a cute free diy area?

[gaunt oriole]

Mine are dumped on a random empty spot on the island xd

[heady swallow]

hahaha same

[wintry jewel]

that is awesome looking

good job!

[golden nest]

Thank you! I did it during an online class haha

[wintry jewel]

haha lol

[tired ravine]

Anyone have ideas for what I should do here? I'm kinda stuck on what to do. My island theme is a fairy-like town, if you want a picture of the entrance then I can out one

[swift jewel]

I’m in the middle of redoing my island, not sure where to move the buildings to? I definitely want a stargazing point where the museum is but everything else I have no idea

[gaunt oriole]

@golden nest Do you always keep those smaller threes the same size?

Cuz it looks awesome like that

[wintry jewel]

@tired ravine You could add a seatign area

seating*

[golden nest]

Yeah, you just plant a fruit behind it, then it stays the same size forever!! @gaunt oriole

[wintry jewel]

wow i did not know that

[teal kayak]

@tidal pebble a cliff is probably my best bet, thanks for the idea :)

[gaunt oriole]

Thanks! I had no idea how people do it

[wintry jewel]

is there a turnip prices area?

[tired ravine]

Oh I definitely want to put one, but I'm not sure of what else to out there

[wintry jewel]

like a channel wher you can put ur turnip prices

[shadow temple]

@wintry jewel #daisy-nookling-ads #698949096601419827

[wintry jewel]

oh ty

[storm berry]

Hey, I know I keep coming here but I need a bit more help right now ^^'. I have a spot right beside my town hall and since the 2 sides of my entrance are mirrored, I'm trying to think of something to put on the side that isn't my town hall. I'm going to move the shop asap

[verbal obsidian]

@storm berry make a little flower/garden shop.

@storm berry you could make a 2nd account on your switch and place a house there and design the interior as a greenhouse/flower shop. You have rose farm there already I see.

[sonic igloo]

Im having trouble with my island layout...

[verbal obsidian]

Im having trouble with my island layout...
@sonic igloo what’s the trouble?

[storm berry]

Ahh okay :D

Honestly that's just my spare flowers, I need to move them lol. I was also thinking of putting a fountain there

[rancid stratus]

I need kidcore ideas

[woven drift]

Yep I’m starting to redo my whole island

[golden nest]

Working on a pumpkin farm! If you have any suggestions I would love them

[zenith roost]

@golden nest you can replace some of the fencing with pumpkin diys or hay bales

[golden nest]

I don’t have any of the pumpkin diys at the moment but the hay bales are a great idea! @zenith roost

Oooh maybe the straw fencing would look nice I have a few of those in storage

[zenith roost]

That works too! I used that at my bigger pumpkin farm

[flint obsidian]

Any idea how I could decorate Raymond’s yard

[golden nest]

Looks lovely! I’ll try that out

Oml I need to decorate Raymond’s house too he’s my last villager home to decorate

[high fulcrum]

Does this looks too busy? What do you think about the mix of path patterns ?

[flint obsidian]

Same @golden nest lol

[golden nest]

I really love it tbh! I rarely see those bright pink flowers being used so I love your island already

[tribal holly]

My island is getting in shape 😁

[tidal pebble]

@flint obsidian I gave him a cafe

[shadow gust]

Any ideas for this mess of an island? I just get headache of thinking about a decent layout. It would be great if the able sisters and the nooklings can remain there permanently.

[paper tendon]

does anyone have any castle pics? i wanna build the hyrule castle on my island but have no idea where to start TvT

[verbal obsidian]

Any one have great examples of nook shop by ocean pier? Thinking of moving mine there for a beach general store vibe.

[verbal plaza]

Thats a good idea

[golden nest]

Not sure if you have already seen this @paper tendon but here’s someone else’s interpretation of hyrule castle

[clever ermine]

This is my third attempt at making an entrance lol for my Island pls say you like it 😅 I'm still decorating any tips on items that would look good are appreciated👀

[flint obsidian]

Is this good or should I add more

[vast peak]

@clever ermine really nice work on the path! I gotta redo my entrance again.

Did some spooky cemetary work today. Any ideas on what else to add?

[paper tendon]

i have not, ty @golden nest !!

[flint obsidian]

@vast peak I think it looks amazing

[vast peak]

Omg thank you so much ❤️

[golden nest]

Add some cedar trees to make it like a spooky graveyard in the forest!! It looks so great

[vast peak]

@golden nest thank you! I was thinking about trees but I can never see behind them haha.

[golden nest]

Oooh I have an idea for what to do give me just a sec to take a pic

[vast peak]

@woven drift haha Jack's the best ❤️ you do fetch him candy and lollipops at his request haha

[golden nest]

@vast peak for my rock garden, I couldn’t see it very well, so I stunted the growth of my trees in front by planting a fruit behind the tree

[vast peak]

Omg I love that rock garden! @golden nest

[golden nest]

Thanks!

[vast peak]

I just planted 70+ cedars for my village.

I want to make sure Isabelle is okay with those before planting more

[golden nest]

oooh yeah it might be good to wait then

noooo

[wintry flame]

@woven drift that sucks

[vast peak]

I'm not understanding the issue. Your controls are inverted?

I have no idea. This is the #island-designs channel so maybe check with people in #general

[golden nest]

My island is coming together!! Before and after pics

[verbal obsidian]

Looks amazing!

[golden nest]

This was the very beginning mb^

[verbal obsidian]

Wish I took pictures of before and after too!

[golden nest]

It’s really cool to see how much my island has evolved over time

[verbal obsidian]

For sure! Mine has changed so much

Actually I did find my before & after! Lol. 6 Months ago @golden nest

[willow stump]

so im gonna move all the villagers houses to the beach and attempt to do a natural like aesthetic thing

wish me luck because im gonna need it

except the 3 villagers who have their yard

my town hall is in a shitty place though so i have to work around that to the best of my ability

[golden nest]

Wow that’s gorgeous! @verbal obsidian I want to know.. who is the villager in the top left? They seem like your favorite loool

[wintry flame]

My shopping district rn, anyone have any ideas on how I can decorate the area a little better

[mystic basin]

it looks really good so far, yopi! the pumpkins are a nice touch. idk any advice i just wanted to say i really like your layout haha

maybe some benches on the sidewalk?

[split stirrup]

Is that like drift?
@woven drift Its supposed to happen Thats the way it is

[verbal obsidian]

Wow that’s gorgeous! @verbal obsidian I want to know.. who is the villager in the top left? They seem like your favorite loool
@golden nest oh lol. No that villager just fits the farm area vibe!

My shopping district rn, anyone have any ideas on how I can decorate the area a little better
@wintry flame definitely could use some benches. The lecture hall bench would fit the “HalloweenTown” vibe you got there! Now I want a giant pumpkin to call back to that Disney movie!

[covert oyster]

any critiques on my island layout? the top right is an in-progress valley where im gonna be putting my house

[vague wolf]

I've tracked some of my island layout changes over time

[coral spade]

I was wondering what do you thing I should put on this table, flowers around it are red. Want to increase rating.

[wispy ether]

@coral spade books, things for tea, food items (cake, customized cast iron pan) + dinnerware wld all b cute

[coral spade]

Thanks

[wispy ether]

mom items are super cute
and u can defs put one of the red flowers ur using on your table to tie it together

[lusty radish]

@coral spade also maybe the dollys or bears on the benches would look super cute, make it look more lived in.

[willow stump]

so i wanna have a cute path for my island considering it has a hello kitty flag, whats my options?

[wispy ether]

@willow stump theres actually a sanrio path someone made, lemme find it

or if you want something like The Path (that kinda windy dirt path everyone uses) ppl have made it pink

lemme get the codes for these

[willow stump]

@wispy ether omg pls give the codes 🥺

[willow stump]

looks cute but idk how well it will fit

i was thinking more around the lines of pink bricks or smth

[wispy ether]

ohhh lemme c, ive defs seen pink brick before

[verbal plaza]

Does anyone have some archeological dig site inspiration photos?

[wispy ether]

just throwing some other ones out there, sorry for spamming LOL

there we go...

[manic sigil]

oooh i like that one

[willow stump]

aaa i love it the inner 5 yr old girl in me is screaming

[wispy ether]

this one also looks suuuper cute

[willow stump]

omg

[verbal obsidian]

Before and After 6 months island progression.

[wispy ether]

the bunny aaaa
if u just search pink brick path in #path-codes ull find a tons more im sure but i hope these will do

[willow stump]

ill be sure to try and use these but i suck at paths and terraforming xd

@wispy ether could u send these in a dm pls so they dont get lost to this channel?

[finite apex]

Im feeling kinda unsatisfied with where my rs is located, i feel it gets in the way for me personally and having trouble working with my rivers/ decorating around it but i don’t wanna restart

[zenith dust]

lf cute house exteriors (like a lawn)

[dawn sonnet]

@finite apex i think that its in a cool place. maybe hard to decorate, but you can do soo much with that. maybe make a river that flows around it, and the resident services is on a little island or idk

[wispy ether]

@verbal plaza i know you said archaeological dig site and this is clearly a dinosaur dig site, but i think replacing the obvious fossil items with like relics (terra cotta warrior, that lil alien statue, gulliver items etc) could be cute (not mine)

[verbal plaza]

@wispy ether oh I love this!

[brittle tree]

Working on my island but I have a lot of open space and in the top left corner idk what to do any help on what to put around? I want to make the back part of my island kinda urban city kinda

[wispy ether]

this is the code for the dino bones if anyone takes interest

[verbal plaza]

Thank you!

[true acorn]

So I’m gonna put tangy’s house here and I need ideas

[woven drift]

This was a while back, but I made a golden cat shrine. >w<

[zenith dust]

Proud of my campsite area

[true acorn]

Amazing

[woven drift]

That's cool!

[rancid stratus]

I need kidcore codes!

[zenith dust]

Thank you!! :D

Does anyone have a cute ables sister boutique next to it?

I don’t like mine and I’d like some inspo ^^

[flint obsidian]

Does anybody have a yard design for a jock villager and sherb

[limber ginkgo]

@flint obsidian sherb and Dom (and others)

[verbal obsidian]

Anyone have their nook shop on beach? I want to get some inspo for design.

[warped umbra]

F*ck u nintendo this is painful 😂

[visual totem]

I'm trying to make a neighborhood for my villagers. Have any ideas?

[verbal obsidian]

Rate my 6 month transformation!

First picture is most recent, 3rd is oldest I have. 👍🏻👍🏻🤭

[mystic minnow]

I'm worried too many of my stairs are in the front, currently 6 of them

[verbal obsidian]

@mystic minnow I would pop open the bottle of captain Morgan and start drinking. 🥃 😂 It’s going to cost you an arm and leg to move those now. 😬

[mystic minnow]

Hahhaaha sadly can't it was a celebratory bottle me and all my friends got when we finished our last year of High School, or it was the only bottle left after drinking on the last day of High School. Sorry for not cropping it out ooops.

But yeah, I'm thinking to have the front of my island a kinda of unscaled wild area, going further in (the top half of the map) make it more lived in and more 'used'. issue with that is no stairs left sadly hahahah

[woven drift]

Decided to change my whole island to a more natural look, how does the beginning of my entrance look?

I like! @woven drift

If you saw the rest of the island you vomit, this is the only good looking spot so far

[simple spoke]

can someone show me how they terraformed/designed their ables sisters?? pls i rlly need inspo

[tidal pebble]

@tender spade I like it

[wispy ether]

@simple spoke

• are you planning on making a lil shopping area or are you going to place it by itself?
• is your village nature-y, town-y, or ....

[simple spoke]

@wispy ether hii i have a horror themed island and um i have something i did but im not sure i like it and wanted to see other optionss.. basically i was gonna have it by itself but but like clothes and sewing items around it for the theme mayb cardboard boxes too

..did u want to come to my island and see the spot im tlking abt for ables

[wispy ether]

this is how i decorated mine but it kinda relies on being a lil shopping area LOL
otherwise i think it would look a little bare

im trying to think of horror movie ~~sewing references but i dont watch any horror movies LOL

[wanton apex]

My able sisters is in a little shopping square

[wispy ether]

this person has a haunted themed island ish https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/740958050629845122/742839242295607306/image0.png?width=402&height=871

[wanton apex]

My museum entrance

[flint obsidian]

Does anybody have Cleo and if so how did you decorate her yard

[green vine]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkAhrU-VgAARC0i?format=jpg I've been working on my plaza, but I have so much empty space! does anyone have any suggestions for how to fill it? 🥺

[slender ocean]

newest area of my island!

[nova vale]

@simple spoke this is the left and right side of my nooks. It’s straight ahead of the entrance/plaza.

[wanton apex]

newest area of my island!
@slender ocean gorgeous!

[simple spoke]

@wispy ether aah thank you haha now im just debating if i want it on the first layer or second lol

@nova vale i like the seating area and the decor fits nicely with the nooks area

[slender ocean]

@slender ocean gorgeous!
@wanton apex thank you sm!! 🥺

[tender spade]

@nova vale looks good 😌 maybe a different ground would be better instead of gras?

[nova vale]

Has to be grass unfortunately. Not enough slots for custom patterns and I have a lot of stuff already everywhere making the place cute. Cant have path because of the plaza.

[simple spoke]

@wispy ether this is my ables area so far not sure if i should keep it like this or put it on the first layer

the dirt markings is where the building is going and the incline

[wanton apex]

Does anyone have tips for how to make my entrance look nicer?

[nova vale]

I’m super ocd about squares and stuff too which doesn’t help @tender spade

[shell pendant]

anyone have suggestions for a path to put between Zen Fences

[woven drift]

hi~ i need some advice😭
so i moved my museum first, and now i’m trying to add this bridge.. it’s slightly off-center. do you think if i move my museum again it will be able to be centered? or if i move it again, it’ll still be off?

@nova vale i❤️ur layout so much!!

[spice raft]

hi~ i need some advice😭
so i moved my museum first, and now i’m trying to add this bridge.. it’s slightly off-center. do you think if i move my museum again it will be able to be centered? or if i move it again, it’ll still be off?
@woven drift I think the museum will always be off center if you do it like that, so I recommend having an area in front of or around it so it’s harder to notice or so the ramp can be in a different spot

[woven drift]

@spice raft ah ic, thanks! i wanted to make sure before giving them bells away lol

[nova vale]

I think it’s one block smaller instead of two so it’ll be super hard to center riri 😦 bridges are my enemy !! I made myself hopping islands to avoid the drama for myself 😂

[spice raft]

@spice raft ah ic, thanks! i wanted to make sure before giving them bells away lol
@woven drift no problem

[thorny dawn]

Does anyone have inspiration for a BIG flower garden/field? Thanks~

[nova vale]

Stairs and bridges just make me so sad. I’d love them to add some diff size options for us so we can choose width.

[spice raft]

How do y’all think I can improve this area I for some reason can’t say the name of?

[woven drift]

yeaa!! i wish we had some size options

[spice raft]

Size options are nice but I see why they did it the way they did

[nova vale]

Yeah I mean it’s much easier the way they did it I guess but they could have matched bridge and stair widths for the ocd members

[woven drift]

i wanna build a cafe too but not at that stage yet😢. (still trying to place the buildings properly first)

[nova vale]

I think if you had more delicate furniture at your cafe btw. That’s kinda heavy and blocky so it’s not super “cafe” if that makes sense ?

[buoyant coral]

At what point do u get to edit terrain and rivers

[spice raft]

That’s true but it also feels like there’s too much space and I don’t know how to fill it without making it clunky

At what point do u get to edit terrain and rivers
@buoyant coral once KK Slider comes you can buy them for miles

[nova vale]

When you finish everything for Tom nook and get 3 star rating from Isabelle datguy. When you get the concert from kk slider youve unlocked it.

[buoyant coral]

Ok I knew that it’s not any help sorry

I guess I’ll just start helping Tom book

[nova vale]

Yeah he’s a conman but he’s your only way forward I’m afraid

[spice raft]

Wdym that’s not any help that’s the answer to your question

[nova vale]

Promised me my own island he did. Made me share it and pay for it and do all the work.

[woven drift]

conman😹. for sure!! where is he spending our bells!

[buoyant coral]

Sorry U guys type faster than me so I respond to ur stuff late and it gets confusing

[spice raft]

conman😹. for sure!! where is he spending our bells!
@woven drift not to mention what if we want to go home? Like we have a mom. And where even are we?

[buoyant coral]

Maybe we could sue him for having a monopoly over the island

[slow grove]

I’m thinking of making a graveyard. should I make it one large area, or a small area, for space for another area? Idk what to do

[jolly raft]

lemme see those pumpkin patches

[nova vale]

Do we know if the pumpkins continue to grow outside of this season

[spice raft]

I don’t see any reason they wouldn’t

You could time travel to find out

[nova vale]

Well they don’t grow all year irl and they’re relatively Halloween themed because of the crafting. So I wasn’t sure.

I can’t tt I can’t deal with the weeds 😂

[spice raft]

They’re all year

[verbal obsidian]

I’m thinking of making a graveyard. should I make it one large area, or a small area, for space for another area? Idk what to do
@slow grove I opted for small graveyard. Turned out nice.

[spice raft]

It looks so good

[buoyant coral]

It looks really good

[slow grove]

So should I make it one small area?

Looks awesome btw

[verbal obsidian]

Small . It’s just to the left of my house, if you look on my map.

[buoyant coral]

Woah that’s crazy cool

[spice raft]

Are there any good orange tables and stuff that would go well with this restaurant I can’t say the name of?

Sadly the diner set doesn’t have a matching color variant

[slow grove]

Does this path look good? I think it fits the Halloween theme perfectly

[spice raft]

I think it looks amazing

[jolly raft]

Anyone have any pumpkin patches to show off?

[spice raft]

Anyone have any pumpkin patches to show off?
@jolly raft mines just a big square atm

[verbal obsidian]

Does this path look good? I think it fits the Halloween theme perfectly
@slow grove yes I like the black cobblestone paths rn for Halloween/spooky themes

[worldly wedge]

what do y'all think of my museum entrance? i'm proud of it 😁

[slow grove]

Amazing

[verbal obsidian]

what do y'all think of my museum entrance? i'm proud of it 😁
@worldly wedge looks good! Now just decorate it!

[worldly wedge]

i'm still working on my island so i need A LOT more decore items

this is just the most done area

[verbal obsidian]

Not mine, but saw this, and looks like a great pumpkin patch. @jolly raft

[plain forge]

🍵party

[woven drift]

Can anyone share with me a cottagecore nooks or abels

[agile jungle]

Hey yall, i have this small little area with my moon, what else should i put? I tried a tree but it blocks the view of my home so i dont want to put anything too tall there

[woven drift]

@agile jungle nova lights

[agile jungle]

@woven drift ooh why didnt i think of that lol

[woven drift]

I need inspo for a cottagecore nooks and abels

[plain forge]

@agile jungle I'd scatter a few bushes and add some patterns on the ground if you don't want bigger structures to block the area~

[agile jungle]

@plain forge lovely idea, thank you

@woven drift i need inspo for my nooks and able too lol

[woven drift]

I need inspo for my whole island, but I’m starting at my entrance and want those somewhat near the entrance

[agile jungle]

Ooh hm have you tried pinterest?

[woven drift]

I just signed up this morning so i still don’t fully understand how to use pinterest

[agile jungle]

Oh haha its quite simple, in the search bar you just search for what youre looking for. Then in you see something you like, you can save it to a board

[dense sundial]

you can use twitter

and visit dream islands

[agile jungle]

Twitter is pretty good too

[woven drift]

I’m not finding much of what I want on pinterest

and visit dream islands
@dense sundial i did this earlier to find which type of island to switch to

[soft flame]

My house layouts so far. What do you think? Good? Bad?

[rich sail]

LF validation

[soft flame]

@rich sail those colors look lovely

@rich sail what's your theme?

[rich sail]

@soft flame thank you!! N it’s like crystal fairycore Like lots of the pillars and everything and lots of water

[soft flame]

I'd love to check that out 😯

[rich sail]

It’s a work in progress but I’m down!! 😊 lemme do a lil more bc I haven’t even added many paths yet 😂😂

[soft flame]

Sure thing

[rich sail]

I’m loving it so far though

[soft flame]

Me too

Did my villager house layouts look alright? I thought they were okay but now they seem to small...

[rich sail]

Thank you 😭😭 I completely destroyed my island a few months ago so I’m happy things are finally coming together LOL!! And they are but do you have similar colour houses you could pair together instead? N then they can just share a yard so it feels more open 😊

I did that when I had Francine and Chrissy and it helped condense things well

[soft flame]

I have a quite a few similar house. It's kind of a problem actually

[rich sail]

What are your villagers? I would say though checkout lot layouts because they are a great guide for how to do your fencing

[untold lily]

Anyone have any double south island entrance ideas? I'm not home right now to show what my entrance looks like currently. I want to change it for fall

[soft flame]

@untold lily you mean for the secret beach?

[untold lily]

@soft flame no I mean from the airport as you are walking in

[soft flame]

@untold lily oh sorry 😅. How silly of my. Do you have a particular theme you are going for?

@rich sail ty

[untold lily]

@soft flame I didn't have a theme at the time because I went with the flow

When terraforming

[soft flame]

Okay. Lemme see what I can find for you

[untold lily]

Thank you.

[soft flame]

Sorry for the extra photo

[untold lily]

It's fine.

[austere cradle]

dont mind the shrimp but what should i put here? its in front of my res services and its where all the roads connect

[severe tartan]

What should I put here?

[austere cradle]

mazes are fun !

i have a maze and it doesnt take up much spac

[plain ferry]

Maybe make a farm area incase we get more crops besides pumpkins later on.

[austere cradle]

thats how big it is

[plain ferry]

That's a really cute maze

[austere cradle]

ty!

the tree hides the exit >:)

[plain ferry]

That's so evil, I love it.

[rain quail]

Can someone share pictures of a castle island? I might restart my island....

[weak vessel]

Holding a Halloween pumpkin patch party! Bring poppers and candy! Glow sticks too! Hide and seek and exploring! Stores are open also! Please don’t pick pumpkins or fruits!! Free items at the entrance but don’t take too much !

[celest cedar]

just wanna show off my cafe

[kind grove]

has anyone done a moon lake? or have inspiration for one / how to make it?

[severe tartan]

No sadly

[kind grove]

rip 😦

[plain ferry]

A beach hangout area I made awhile back

[severe tartan]

Should I move all my houses to the center or where a good place to put them?

[minor ridge]

@kind grove on how to make it, ive had this tutorial saved for a bit lol :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCHU2Fo5scQ

[kind grove]

omg thank you!

[minor ridge]

np lol

[severe tartan]

I'm so frustrated bc idk how to be creative with my island and don't know how to work with it

[untold lily]

@severe tartan i moved all of my villager's houses to the top right after flattening

[minor ridge]

@severe tartan a good spot would be to find an empty-ish or clear out a spot to make a neighborhood, or take 2 or 3 house each and put them close together to create 1-3 little neighborhoods instead of scattered. i see an empty area around the upper left and right, maybe try those?

[severe tartan]

Alright thanks

[untold lily]

You can use the left side of the cliff for a pumpkin patch or flower area if you have lots of flowers

[severe tartan]

Yeah that's a great idea since I didn't know what to put there and I might move my visitors houses to the right upper top

[untold lily]

It's possible to make your rivers symmetrical if you want too. Not sure how long that takes

With the double south island

[severe tartan]

Like this?

[untold lily]

Yeah

[high bronze]

what are some good advices if im restarting my island?

[golden nest]

Hey fellow Chloe lol!! My advice would be to work in small sections and if you’ve got any ideas while you decorate, just write them down rather than start working on a completely new part of your island. It really stressed me out when I did that

[high bronze]

oh & i have an island exactly like this, and idk what to do w the rivers, what should i do?

[golden nest]

I mean for my island I didn’t make the rivers as wide and I kind of built them around my decorated areas if that makes sense

[high bronze]

photo credit: @severe tartan

[golden nest]

Here are my rivers and map

[severe tartan]

Yeah the rivers are hard to work with it

[untold lily]

When I first started my current island I worked around with what I had.

[golden nest]

Ye I just started with my entrance and built off of that in sections

[severe tartan]

Rn I put my first visitor house here

[untold lily]

But personally I would have chosen a west and south type of island with a long pier

[golden nest]

Ok

[eager burrow]

cocooooo

[golden nest]

Froggieeee

[eager burrow]

these are the ruins I got the idea from you

its got baby trees

[golden nest]

There is no way that you did that omggg it’s so gorgeous

[eager burrow]

yayyyy

[golden nest]

Bless the baby trees 😭

[eager burrow]

it overlooks my campsite

[golden nest]

Speaking of baby trees 👀

[eager burrow]

ya I saw that pic when I was stalking you 🥺 so proud its super cozy

[golden nest]

LOOL

[eager burrow]

I like the mushroom rock

[golden nest]

Haha I wasn’t sure what to put on top of it so I put the mushroom

[eager burrow]

I wish guests couldnt take them, I have an odd quick where I dont like having stuff that guests can steal out for some odd sentimental reason

mushroom on rock around mushrooms is cute!

[golden nest]

Me too but that’s why I love dream addresses

[ashen hornet]

Does anyone have a nice entrance for a close and diagonal residence hall

[golden nest]

Wait woah I didn’t see your previous pic that’s gorgeous

[eager burrow]

my previous pic?

[golden nest]

The one before the one I sent

[eager burrow]

oh yay it's fun cause my campsite is like in a pit

I like pits lol, thats why I like your island so much

[golden nest]

Ye they’re so cool looking!

[high bronze]

do u guys have more island layouts with islands like these

the two rivers attached to the sea is really bothering me

[covert summit]

@eager burrow i love how you used the all the different tree type on the wild logs, it looks sooo good

[eager burrow]

yay! I legit just made it to be a fence because I wanted some diverse fencing and then I was like omg I just made a cliff side seating area! it was legit a month after making it that I realized it makes for a cool place to sit

@high bronze I have two south rivers, my water is a bit unconventional but you can see I just made one river stubby and cozy to compliment my homes cozyness

[covert summit]

Oooh wow I never thought to use them as fencing but yeah they look so good there

[golden nest]

I found this cute island design on Pinterest @high bronze

[lucid shell]

Looking for Kidcore island ideas besides: school, soccer area, playground

[primal tartan]

making a rainbow bridge- how could i make it look good? there’s no space in the direction i’m facing. i wanna make it look good but i can’t just randomly branch off from the side. how could i create an ‘entrance’ to the rainbow bridge from the front of it?

[soft flame]

Anybody have any suggestions as to who I should pair up with who for my neighbor hoods?

[neon glen]

@soft flame i like to pair up houses based on their exterior :-) u could try match the colors!

[golden nest]

Yeah merengue and dom would pair nicely!

[covert summit]

I’ll be ready in a few minutes @golden nest @eager burrow

[soft flame]

Awesome! not sure what to do for sherb, marshal on ahkna

[neon glen]

i feel sherb and marshal could go tg? maybe pair up ankha with judy since they're both snooties?

[eager burrow]

Ankha and Lucky. It's cat and dog and also egyptians and mummy's go hand in hand

[mental cipher]

What looks better for a sci-fi theme? Or both?

[untold lily]

Raymond and Marshal

[eager burrow]

Both. Sci-fi would have a variety of spacey colors

[primal tartan]

Anybody have any suggestions as to who I should pair up with who for my neighbor hoods?
@soft flame merengue and dom/ judy and marina/ reneigh and ankha/ raymond and lucky/ marshal and sherb

[soft flame]

@eager burrow good point

[neon glen]

yeah i like raymond and lucky's houses together

i think raymond's house would look good w reneigh's too !

[soft flame]

me too!

[high bronze]

how do i get the cresent moon chair?

and mush lamp 😅

[woven drift]

@high bronze those are diys, the cresent chair is from Celeste and the lamp will be from balloons in the fall

[high bronze]

so does that mean we can get the mush lamp diy now?

if im in northern hemisphere

[limber ginkgo]

so does that mean we can get the mush lamp diy now?
@high bronze starting november for northern

[manic bone]

hihi I’m looking for some kinda cottage core type inspo for my museum any sorta help is appreciated :D

[austere nimbus]

@primal tartan ahh just saw your kidcore bridge and my suggestions are to change the fencing to something more immature-ish? like the bunny day fence or something more minimal like the rope fence~ to make the entrance, i think a diagonal bridge might look nice!

[primal tartan]

okay- also i don’t have any more inclined so i can’t put one at the bottom of the bridge- i’m trying to attach it to the side of my shopping district but idk what path to use-

[austere nimbus]

ohh you need something to walk up to it

was thinking smth like this

and then terraform it out if possible?

idk lol

[primal tartan]

okay ty i’ll try

[covert summit]

Do these two patterns go nice together? I’m not sure if I like it

If anyone has a suggestion or a better pattern than matches the quilted pattern let me know

[austere nimbus]

its cute!

[woven drift]

I think my rivers are going to kill me

[soft flame]

@covert summit I think the white overwhelms the red

[covert summit]

Yeah it is, I agree

[ionic coral]

@covert summit i think they actually really suit and compliment eachother very well, especially with the villager house and bookshelf in the background

[soft flame]

@covert summit maybe a nice green would work?

[covert summit]

I feel like the lighter one looks a lot bigger than the one it’s on top of

[ionic coral]

Maybe just switch them around

With the red on top

[covert summit]

I do have a green, I’ll try them both to see which looks better

[soft flame]

Okay

[covert summit]

Ty guys!

[misty cradle]

i’m in the process of redoing my island right now.. any ideas what to do with a river layout like this?

[soft flame]

@misty cradle oof I have that same problem. Lemme see if I can find you some ideas

@misty cradle

[misty cradle]

those are all so cute, tysm!

[soft flame]

Np 🥰

[exotic gate]

@exotic gate awesome

[lucid shell]

I'm not sure where to ask this, but does any one know how they got the rainbow flower frame around the picture?

[vernal oxide]

Sorry for the spam of photos. Been working like crazy on my island to make it spooky with a bit of a forest feel. I’m also including different themed area. One pic shows my witch area (wip) !

[umbral pecan]

@lucid shell actually sorry it’s prob just an edit

[lucid shell]

No it's a flower frame like it's in the sky too

Yeah

[urban sinew]

NO STATIC! YOU'LL BE TRAPPED IN A VOID OF NOTTHING!

[mellow abyss]

Does anyone have any idea what I can do with my resident services? Its really close to my airport and Im really having a hard time knowing what to do with it

[urban sinew]

You can put some nice fences around it and make it like an intersection

What are your opinions on my visitor's stalls. Credit: @limber ginkgo

It is quite a mess

[primal tartan]

and i need ideas for tutus yard i have a wide large area

[nova wind]

anyone know ideas for the spooky season?

[dim crystal]

Facing toward or away from fountain

[brittle pulsar]

[nova wind]

[vernal oxide]

@nova wind if you scroll up a bit I shared a pic of a little witches potion/brewing area and also a pic of hay ride truck!

[nova wind]

Then I can find a cool way to use free space

[vernal oxide]

@jolly flicker I don’t have a full golf course. I actually was going to try and turn the whole island into a mini golf course and each hole had a different themed! I hope this helps!

[buoyant coral]

Is there a good way to merge a bridge into a pathway without it looking weird

[scenic herald]

@primal tartan omg i love the rainbow bridge 🥺 🌈

[primal tartan]

aww ty! it took a lot of work i have a time lapse of me building it! i’ll post it soon:

[sour prawn]

behind my town hall

[primal tartan]

okay so the time lapse is exporting i’ll send it when it’s done!

[ornate drum]

Does anyone have tips for layouts that the villagers will like? I'm restarting my island and I rly want to make something villagers will interact with (like sitting beside a pond or something

[burnt osprey]

@vernal oxide wow that sounds like such an amazing idea ! So creative, I would love to visit your island by DA if u ever get one

[limber ginkgo]

@ornate drum these are my villager yards, I try to use furniture they can interact with. flowers are an easy addition since they water/sniff them

[mental cipher]

omg they look amazing

i cant design anything lol

[ornate drum]

@limber ginkgo awesome layouts! I love these. Do you see your villagers using the equipment at all though? Mine usually just ignore the things I put out X"D

[nova wind]

does anyone know a bathroom design? i just cant make one.

[primal tartan]

my DA: 2743-0004-7389 okay here it is. this was early when i hadn’t done much work in it. now it looks a lot more different! skip to the end for the rainbow bridge part- but anyways here’s the time lapse:

i broke down and re did my shopping district then i did the rainbow bridge

sorry the link didn’t send: https://youtu.be/Did5xvHqNKc

@scenic herald ^^

the bridge building starts at 4:50^^

[limber ginkgo]

@limber ginkgo awesome layouts! I love these. Do you see your villagers using the equipment at all though? Mine usually just ignore the things I put out X"D
@ornate drum Usually the flowers but mostly villagers spawn in random spots of the island or hang out at RS, they don't hang out in front of their homes often

[mental cipher]

[umbral pecan]

Just finished this beach area😊

[limber ginkgo]

I want to work on my campsite but there's A LOT of flowers to move

[grim zinc]

Any thoughts on this general island layout idea?

[cyan basin]

@manic bone i can show u mine if u want?

I made a research area for blathers and a cafe behind the museum too

[manic bone]

@cyan basin yes i’d love to see it!

[gaunt oriole]

I have this empty space next to my park and i want to put something on both sides of the path but i don't know what. My theme is like a little town

[nova vale]

couple of benches and bushes maybe ?

[fickle python]

Maybe some streetlamps and flowers?

[nova vale]

the plants I have on my plaza usually fill spaces nicely also. Like little trees

[gaunt oriole]

Thanks for the ideas!

[uncut kindle]

does anyone have any ideas for decorating maples yard?

[vast peak]

@neon glen a little different than yours and not finished yet but my little village entrance is starting to look like an entrance.

@gaunt oriole I love the idea of streetlamps and bushes! You can change the bushes seasonally and always have it look different

@grim zinc I love this. So structured. Did you make it?

[limber ginkgo]

flower boi

[grim zinc]

@vast peak Yes I have! Glad you like it! 🙂

[neon glen]

@vast peak i'm excited to see it finished!! i haven't worked on my forest much besides adding a bridge,, currently working on museum area

[fickle python]

This is my Able Sisters now and I am just truly in love with the outcome. ✨

[vast peak]

@neon glen thank you. I also got distracted building a secret entrance for Redd's beach and blocking the main one - and then making a cemetary.

[woven drift]

What do you Guys think

[vast peak]

I love your little phone booth waiting area 😻

[woven drift]

Thank you!!

Any advice to improve this bee farm area or it’s fine ?

[wary void]

Hi, I’m a very weird person and struggle with my island not being even 😭 I was just wondering if anyone has island layouts for people that like things very even 🙂

[bleak wind]

@wary void I'm quite similar to be honest, I can't stand when things are not even. A lot of my island is very symmertical because of this, not all of it mind you but several areas have the same things going on on boths sides, basically. My two shops, for example, are both on either side of my entrance.

[halcyon pulsar]

am i allowed to ask for help in designing my island and offer payment for the help here?

[vast peak]

@halcyon pulsar feel free to post photos and people normally comment to tell you how they can help

[vast peak]

@runic granite I love how spooky! I saw this the other day too - did you spookify since then?

[runic granite]

@vast peak yeah

[vast peak]

It's so great. 🤩

[bleak wind]

@runic granite I love the mickey design on the ground 💖

[runic granite]

@bleak wind tysm

[flint obsidian]

What should I put next to my park

[halcyon pulsar]

well i need a bit more help then some pictures 😊 so i tought i could offer someone 300nmts to give me dedicated support. But I get your point, not the right channel

[neon glen]

a playground?

@halcyon pulsar you could try nookazon! they offer map designs in exchange for payment

[halcyon pulsar]

yeah thank you ❤️ i will do that

[flint obsidian]

@neon glen the stuff I have on my island include playground, cafe, and market

[wary void]

@bleak wind it’s difficult cause everything are different dimensions 😭😭

[bleak wind]

So true, island life do be stressful tho 😭

[nova vale]

Hi, I’m a very weird person and struggle with my island not being even 😭 I was just wondering if anyone has island layouts for people that like things very even 🙂
@wary void I have super ocd and it took me a long time because of an uneven size and the fact that bridges and stairs don’t match in width etc. But I found ways round with hopping platforms and squares. I hope it helps some.

[wary void]

Thank you so much I really like the placement of everything I’ll have to take some Inspo it’s one of my biggest issues tysm! 😭😁

[manic jay]

They look nice

[willow stump]

[rich jasper]

@vast peak i alr have that but i need lika a design right one the beach

[neon glen]

went thru old pics on my switch n i wished i finished this before i deleted this island LMAO

[vast peak]

@willow stump oh you have such cuties!

@neon glen wow that looks impressive. What's behind your house?

[neon glen]

@vast peak simple panels and wedding organs, i made my house a small castle

[vast peak]

That's amazing. Are the organs elevated?

[neon glen]

the ones in the back are, but the ones on the side arent! they're really tall

[willow stump]

@willow stump oh you have such cuties!
@vast peak thank! rate my villagers from 0-10

[vast peak]

@neon glen incredible! How did you come up with this?

@willow stump haha absolute 10 🎉

[neon glen]

i got inspo from pinterest!! i didn't come up w this by myself lolol though the ones i've seen from pinterest r much more bigger and extravagant

i didn't have the space for that or the patience to get more organs

[vast peak]

@neon glen omg yes. I TTd to June today to get something and saw again how many hearts they were 😳

[neon glen]

ooh u can still go back to june for the wedding event? someone told me it wasnt available anymore

[willow stump]

@neon glen incredible! How did you come up with this?

@willow stump haha absolute 10 🎉
@vast peak i kinda want renee gone, how many nmt is merengue?

[vast peak]

No, it's timelocked for next year. But you can go back.

@willow stump you'd have to check #villager-trade

[neon glen]

ohh okay next year,, if i need more wedding items id consider tting to june 2021

[vast peak]

No - sorry I was unclear. You can go back but not forward. So it's still available in 2020.

[neon glen]

o ok !

[vast peak]

I accidentally traveled to 2021 today and was just confused haha

[vast peak]

@pale sigil I wouldn't put a campsite right at the garden. Most people design like a little entrance area.

A park of sorts

[pale sigil]

that's a good idea, ill gather up some flowers and design out an area for when i get terraforming

thank you!

[vast peak]

Yes don't rush it.

@pale sigil I would actually recommend you put every single building on the beach until you get terraforming.

[neon glen]

wew aligned rs

[vast peak]

@pale sigil basically you're gonna want to move them when you get terraforming and it's cheaper to do it once.

[willow stump]

@pale sigil I would actually recommend you put every single building on the beach until you get terraforming.
@vast peak i regretted NOT doing this lol

[vast peak]

@willow stump me too. I had no idea it was a thing.

[willow stump]

same

[weak karma]

My friend said this area was a bit bare, it's behind my nooks cranny and seperates Rudy's farm from the shop.
My theme is mostly jungle, cottagecore and colourful. I don't need much help just ideas of what to put ^^

[elder field]

Can put leaf plies maybe. Or stumps

[vast peak]

Some Lily record players and garden carts?

[weak karma]

Thanks for the ideas 🙂 I think ill go with a mix

[verbal obsidian]

6-month island transformation. Pretty cool to see how much I’ve expanded and changed.

Started from the bottom now we’re here.

[clear vale]

Customized lily record players are so cute omg

[vast peak]

@clear vale the pink and white are my favorite.

[clear vale]

I like brown and yellow

[thorny galleon]

first row is peaches
second row is oranges
third row is pears

[manic sigil]

@thorny galleon this might be an issue, when there are more than 12 trees in a 9x9 grid the remaining trees wont grow

[thorny galleon]

hmmm thanks for letting me know!

[vast peak]

@thorny galleon you can move them closer together once they grow though. So just keep them apart when they are babies.

@verbal obsidian 5 out of 8 inclines just for the campsite area 😮

Whose house is in the upper left?

@burnt osprey hahaha if I ever find the time to finish it. I’ve been so preoccupied with school and then I’ve been redesigning my main island! But if I do end up finishing the second island, I’ll let you know!

[tranquil narwhal]

How would you make your entrance when your residence is close to the airport

[tranquil carbon]

Any suggestions for ideas for this area?

[vast peak]

@quasi scroll ugh resident services on the first one is too close to the airport. You'll have trouble designing that.

The fourth one on closer inspection looks acceptable

It's actually nice and exactly centered with resident services @quasi scroll

I really like the double river on the front beach for #3.

[neon glen]

@vast peak its not aligned

if i had 2 pick, id pick the 4th one but imo u could find a better map

yes its the rock looking thing but it leads to the edge of the rs

[vast peak]

Yeah I see what you mean.

Sorry I meant to edit and deleted my comment.

[verbal obsidian]

@verbal obsidian 5 out of 8 inclines just for the campsite area 😮
@vast peak lol. It’s my national park area. Hiking Trails everywhere! . Top left is Bertha... she just fit the Farm/orchard area well.

[dawn marsh]

Hey my peeps! anyone could help me a little with this area? Cotasge core Island, btw ( ill send u more picutres in dm

[vernal oxide]

I’ve been working on making my island spooky. Last pic is the witch area (wip). And also I made a cult in the first pic lmfao

[verbal obsidian]

@vast peak lol. It’s my national park area. Hiking Trails everywhere! . Top left is Bertha... she just fit the Farm/orchard area well.
@verbal obsidian

@vast peak Also the double incline leads to Hans (Yeti/Bigfoot) character so it fit the National Park, Campsite vibe.

[tranquil carbon]

Any suggestions or tips for this area?

[dawn marsh]

U shoud put sand!

[tranquil carbon]

I’m trying to make it better for fall cause rn it looks like a summer place

But that is a good summer idea

[dawn marsh]

Well take the path on the ground and replace it by the kinda terracota one with dark flowers, white Flowers, trees and lamps

[tranquil carbon]

Ooo that’s a good idea thanks

[woven drift]

does anyone have an orchard they could post?

[carmine depot]

Sorry for the dodgy vid but how can I connect by new entrance to my plaza? I’m going for a countryside/farm/ farmers market (if that makes sense) theme

[kind grove]

could you guys post what you’ve done with your rs? i’m having trouble coming up w ideas

[prime patio]

does anyone have any ideas on how i should decorate around nooks cranny??? I'm doing a spooky theme. I decided to make the tailors shop look like a witchy theme surrounded by apple trees n stuff

[gaunt oriole]

Soo i took your guys's ideas and made this a floral area. What should i add to it?

(I'm gonna add some street lamps i just need to get them in the mail)

[tranquil carbon]

Maybe a few benches

Or like seating with a table two chairs and a flower

A clock maybe

[runic cave]

How do I get the diy recipes for Halloween? I havent gotten any yet

[icy flint]

@runic cave ask one #game-help-questions❓ or #acnh-chat⛱️

[gaunt oriole]

@runic cave Via crafting villagers, recipe bottles, or you can get them by giving candy to villagers and Jack on Halloween

[tacit crater]

I need help with making a neighboorhood area

[warped umbra]

This diagonal pathway is testing my patients

[carmine depot]

If you click on the corners again it may round them out, I’m not sure though :))

[warped umbra]

If you click on the corners again it may round them out, I’m not sure though :))
@emily.#5350 I'm not sure if I want them rounded, straight or pointed to be honest lol

[carmine depot]

Ahh I get you, it’s so annoying with some of the in-game paths

[warped umbra]

Soo i took your guys's ideas and made this a floral area. What should i add to it?
@gaunt oriole u can add guarden rocks and some fences for character! :3

[vernal oxide]

@woven drift it’s kinda hard to see but this was my orchard! I had a few trees lined up and a small honey/bee farm and a smoothie station!

[woven drift]

@vernal oxide thats so cute and im so gonna make a smoothie station now lmao, thank you

[gaunt oriole]

Good luck!

[wooden briar]

First pic is my entrance the second is the witches corner! WIPs

[woven drift]

@wooden briar 😍

@quasi scroll i like it

[lusty lark]

the top right

[woven drift]

yes

[lusty lark]

or bottom right

[woven drift]

yea right tho cause the residental building would be even

[lusty lark]

i restarted also and don’t have terraforming yet ):

[minor ridge]

i always get apples lol. its annoying

[woven drift]

orange gang

[minor ridge]

apple gang

[woven drift]

but i got rid of all the oranges tho

i only gotapples n cherries now

[lusty lark]

does anybody know how to get to 3 stars fast

[woven drift]

talk to isabelle n she’ll tell u what u could do to improve

usually more trees and decoration

[minor ridge]

i love peaches but they dont match pink hyacinths so i changed to oranges lol

[wispy ether]

plant a ton of flowers, place a ton of objects (fish, bugs, furniture, even tools--as long as theyre actually placed not dropped)

[wooden briar]

I do have a question, I've got this spot but idk if I should leave the pumpkin lanterns at the staircase or wait to use the Christmas items instead since the stairs will lead into a Christmas themed area

Id like to set up a four seasons type theme across my island

[woven drift]

id just leave them there til you get the christmas ones

[minor ridge]

if its a four seasons id just leave em till christmas comes

[austere fog]

I agree!

[wooden briar]

Cool thanks! Thats what I had in mind and then doubted it lol thank you guys!

[woven drift]

u can smash the rock

itll respawm somewhere else

u mean the big rock

oh thats a bruh moment

[wooden briar]

Are you going for the RS being center?

If you're worried about its placement right now you could use a really curvy custom path and turn it into the center of a seaside town

[woven drift]

seeing an empty island is so weird

[wooden briar]

Once the main building gets in wouldn't that make it more centered?

Cause the doors are double doors and should line up with the entrance

[woven drift]

but yea i dont think its uneven if you put a good path itll be fine

[neon glen]

no. it wont be aligned even when upgraded

[woven drift]

that seems like a pretty difficult layout to get, but i wish you luck 👀

[vernal panther]

Anyone have a beach-themed island? I'm looking to build a beach resort/hotel but I need inspiration

[woven drift]

i hate designing the beach sm

nope soz, mine is fairycore,,,

[minor ridge]

mine is a restart, i dont have much atm

[eager burrow]

@quasi scroll your island is really new, if you want your center to be moved you're going to always want it to be moved and the longer you put it off the more your island will be developed and a backstep to restart. I'd restart asap sense you don't have much to lose.

[minor ridge]

although im turning my house into a farmer/cottagecore so i can have a farm in front of it lolol

[mellow abyss]

You can put some nice fences around it and make it like an intersection
@urban sinew can you possibly show me what you mean by that?-

[neon glen]

@quasi scroll i would pick up the weeds and plant them right to the rs so u can count how many tiles there are. there r many island layouts tht r one tile off centered so itll be helpful to know if its actually centered or its 1 off !

[woven drift]

what water critters could i add here?

[austere fog]

snapping turtle!

[woven drift]

i wonder if they’re available for my season rn

if not i’ll just hijack my second island and change the time

hallelujah southern hemisphere just started getting the snappy tortles

too many flowers?

[safe pine]

No, they look great!

[woven drift]

No, they look great!
@safe pine thanks then ill leave them

[neon glen]

@quasi scroll i hate to break it to u, but it’s 1 tile off from being centered

[woven drift]

lmaoo

[manic jay]

Sad

Don't die just cause of that 💀

[woven drift]

yikesss

[neon glen]

i suggest placing weeds to make sure its really centered or its 1 tile off. it really helps!

[woven drift]

im so annoyed wtf i just set up a bridge and they simply took away my table cause it was in the way ig but now its just gone??? not in my storage n not in my house storage eitjet wtf acnh

[manic jay]

eye-

[woven drift]

just finessing my stuff😔

is it not in the recycling bin-

WHAT wait is it supposed to be zhere

it might be ive never checked lol

[verbal plaza]

Might have to wait a day?

[woven drift]

omg ur right ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

i found it there

thank god i thought tom nook snapped it into the nether realm

[lusty lark]

i wanna restart again but my villagers i don’t wanna lose them 😦

[woven drift]

just sell everything , take everything off ur island n terraform everything away .. sm work tho

[wooden briar]

@lusty lark sell your good villagers and items for NMT and then you might get enough to buy them again or even find a few on the islands, thats how I restarted.

[woven drift]

@quasi scroll again omg

because of one tile

it wont be straight forward

can confirm i’ve had that exact layout

next time someone fakes ocd ill show them this to show them what real ocd is 💀

unless yours shifted the nook plaza it’s def not

[wooden briar]

If you're lining the tent up im pretty sure it'll be uneven when its fully built but idk for sure on that.

Because the building doors and shape are different from the tent

[neon glen]

mhm, itll be one off, i have that map

@wooden briar no it wont, the dimensions of the plaza remain the same even if rs isnt upgraded

[gaunt oriole]

i have a double south river so i don't know these layouts

I hate double south rivers yet i don't wanna restart

[woven drift]

mines not even either but i terraformed my way around it and im kinda loving it

i had that layout until i spent a week resetting for left and south rivers

[neon glen]

funny cus i reset for that map

[woven drift]

it was good until i uh messes it up

[gaunt oriole]

i'm pretty sure i have a pic of my map somewhere

This is my map from a few days ago

I've done a lot of work on it the past 3 days

[wooden briar]

So the doors of the full resident service would line up with the tent door?

[neon glen]

ive seen all of the possible east and south rivers n i think it’s impossible to get an aligned rs w those river exits. ive seen it aligned w double south and south/west rivers

yes @wooden briar

[charred forge]

Should I make the flowers the same as in pairs or keep it mixed up

[gaunt oriole]

not really

[neon glen]

they are, but the rs and airport areas r fixed

rocks, beach size, and pier r random

also peninsula shape

[gaunt oriole]

my rocks are significantly huge although i don't know what to put on them

[flint obsidian]

Does anyone have Cleo if so how did you decorate her yard

[neon glen]

yeh i hate the rocks lmao i did this for mine

[woven drift]

before VS after reset
first one is the heart lake layout i had previously

[neon glen]

it’s rlly simple n im probs gonna change it

[woven drift]

Reconsider.

[charred forge]

@woven drift what are you using for your paths to be checkered?

[woven drift]

oh just placing the paths every odd one

[neon glen]

its not a bad layout at all, but if u rly want an aligned airport walkway to the rs id keep going

[woven drift]

i can get a quick in game of what they look like

[plain forge]

my rocks are significantly huge although i don't know what to put on them
@gaunt oriole this is what I did for the only east/west rock I have

[charred forge]

@woven drift sure! I always love seeing what others do

[neon glen]

tht being said i was rly picky w my rocks while resetting cus i didnt want the dick shaped rock

[charred forge]

@woven drift cute!

[neon glen]

LMAO

[woven drift]

thamk it took me too long

[gaunt oriole]

tht being said i was rly picky w my rocks while resetting cus i didnt want the dick shaped rock
I've never seen it...

[woven drift]

the dick shaped rock is horrible

[charred forge]

@woven drift lol seems like it could be

[neon glen]

not mine. ur welcome

[woven drift]

but
but who washes clothes next to the ocean

careful he’s watching

it’s a shame you can’t move the plaza

[neon glen]

🤔 honestly im not sure if u can have an aligned rs and have it decently spaced... the aligned ones ive seen r kinda close

[woven drift]

^ i haven’t seen a distanced one

[wary crescent]

I have no clue what to do with this area after clearing everything out

[vernal panther]

distanced ones are possible, mine's super far away from the entrance

[neon glen]

yes but is the airport walkway centered w the rs?

[woven drift]

make a flowery bush arch?

[vernal panther]

distanced & centered is probably possible but very unlikely

[neon glen]

i’m not convinced tbh 🤔

also, no that one isnt centered

mm its probably not possible

[vast peak]

@quasi scroll you've been reconsidering for a while.

[woven drift]

everything is possible

[neon glen]

no flan

[woven drift]

except moving your plaza

[vernal panther]

i wonder, why can't we move it?

[neon glen]

rs and airport areas r fixed depending on ur river exits. its not possible

[vernal panther]

that kinda sucks

[neon glen]

having a perfectly centered rs and airport on the map isnt possible

[proven hatch]

who wants to be friends? i am new

[vast peak]

@proven hatch check #acnh-chat⛱️ or #general for general friendly chat.

@quasi scroll haha. I don't like this last one cause RS is on the right beach basically

I don't think Nintendo is for sale haha

[neon glen]

anywayz gl on resetting. i wouldnt waste time w south/east maps since ive seen every one while resetting for the heart pond map. i dont think its possible

[vernal panther]

why would you reset for a heart-shaped pond if you can do it yourself tho

[neon glen]

i liked the layout of the heart shaped pond the most. the rs placement

[vernal panther]

oh that does make sense

[vast peak]

@quasi scroll I hope you speak japanese? Although if not they probably have regional CEOs

[woven drift]

it’s easier to make a heart shaped path than a pond so i’d see why

[rancid epoch]

my entrance so far.. idk how to continue it

[vernal panther]

looks good

[weak solstice]

What path do you use?

[vast peak]

@rancid epoch is this "the path"?

[rancid epoch]

@vast peak yes! but a fall version 😊

[austere fog]

looks like an autumn version of it! So cute

[weak solstice]

Cool

[vast peak]

I can never do these 18 spot paths. That's where my AC patience runs out

[rancid epoch]

yeah my design slots are literally full already 😭

[vast peak]

Oh but if you're using a regular version do you just replace the codes in your library and it just changes on the floor?

[weak solstice]

My patience for AC ended a few months ago, I struggled for a while but I’m trying to get back into it

[vast peak]

@weak solstice hang in there.

[weak solstice]

Thanks

[vast peak]

I go through phases of playing non stop to playing just to log in and see who my npc is.

[rancid epoch]

Oh but if you’re using a regular version do you just replace the codes in your library and it just changes on the floor?
@vast peak yep!

[vast peak]

Smart! At least that saves time haha. @rancid epoch

[rancid epoch]

@vast peak yeah its fun to change it up for holidays and seasons 💞

[full charm]

Hey does anyone want to help me

[vast peak]

Whatcha need help with @full charm

[weak solstice]

You’re STILL picking an island?

[full charm]

I have been stuck with a 3 star island forever and I want a 5 star island but it never seems to happen

[vernal panther]

man i see all of your really pretty natural islands and regret making mine a city but i'm in to deep too reset or demolish everything

[woven drift]

hmmm i recognise that layout

5 star islands are actually not too hard if you know how to balance it

[neon glen]

@vernal panther city gang

[vast peak]

@vernal panther I feel ya.

[neon glen]

natural islands r overdone anyways imo

[woven drift]

have all types of trees, a couple of bushes, a lot of fences, paths, tons of furniture

[vernal panther]

ooo u guys have cities? do you have any pictures?

[vast peak]

@full charm basically tons of furniture, tons of fences (around each house) and tons of flowers.

[full charm]

Ok thanks

[woven drift]

breeding flowers is one of my worst nightmares but it was worth it

[vast peak]

Buy stuff from the nook shop with miles @full charm - solar panels and lighthouse etc. Display all Guliver items.

[gaunt oriole]

I've been wanting to make my island cottagecore for a long time but idk if it's worth resetting

[plain forge]

@full charm there's an island star guide in the pinned section that may help

[woven drift]

take into consideration:
want to reset encyclopaedias and cinemas? don’t forget catalog and recipes

[austere fog]

you could start with making a small area in your island more cottagecore to see how you feel about it before resetting

[vast peak]

@gaunt oriole i wouldn't reset the game. But do move everything to the beach and then demolish.

[gaunt oriole]

Yeah maybe i will flatten out

[vast peak]

@quasi scroll haha it's gonna be okay. You're overthinking this part.

[gaunt oriole]

But not reset

Woah

[vast peak]

@gaunt oriole ive just done it and made tons of changes. It's tedious but worth it.

[plain forge]

I've done 2 completed layouts (not counting 2 more that I never finished) with specific themes and I'm on my 3rd one now without ever reseting haha

[vast peak]

@quasi scroll are you reinstalling?

[woven drift]

i wish i didn’t have to reset but the river ends didn’t match the island layout i needed

[neon glen]

@plain forge dont know u get the motivation to do it 😭 u should record ur current!

[gaunt oriole]

I've already made my entrance pretty cottagecore and i like it

[plain forge]

Went from full city to natural/medieval and now I'm going back to city (rural/countryside/anime-esque LOL)

[vast peak]

@quasi scroll yes!

[vast peak]

@plain forge this game never ends haha.

[gaunt oriole]

My current entrance

[plain forge]

@neon glen I'm not tech savvy enough to record tbh LOL 😭 but I just really enjoy making new layouts bc I get tired of my old ones as soon as I finish!!

[vast peak]

I did this as my entrance today

[neon glen]

@plain forge 😭 aw omg.. ngl im also considering on doing a new theme after i finish my current

[plain forge]

@vast peak tbh tho and that's all the fun haha I always get inspired by other ppls islands and I'm like ok I'm gonna make my own

[woven drift]

does anyone else’s island drop frames or do i just have too many designs

[plain forge]

@woven drift I think the switch lite (I have that one) drop frames with a lot of furniture and customs placed but I think it's not a problem for the regular switch? Don't quote me on that tho

@neon glen oooo yes!! Your theme is kinda european/towny rn right?

[woven drift]

it could be my monitor setup running at a high quality-

[rancid spire]

I have a regular switch and mines been dropping frames when I go to an area with lots of furniture

[woven drift]

but yes it’s the acnh switch lagging

[austere fog]

I have the regular switch, and the frames will drop when I visit islands that have lots and lots of furniture placed

[woven drift]

specifically when trees are windy/waterfalls/custom

[vast peak]

@austere fog same.

[neon glen]

@plain forge yes!! my current is sooo messy ngl, half of my island is loosely european/towny inspired and the other half is natural/countryside! if i were to do a new theme, id make an island inspired by kimi no na wa !

[vast peak]

Mine was lagging when I put a hundred mannequins for my rock garden creation

[woven drift]

100 mannequins???

[obtuse jay]

Earlier this year I made a small town area in the corner of my island. yesterday I thought it might be a good idea to spread out the villager homes and put fences and flowers around all of their houses. I can’t decide what would be the better option to leave it how it is or to change it up because it feels cluttered. Can anyone help me with my decision?

[plain forge]

@neon glen oo I'm gonna have to visit/dream ur island once it's finished bc I love that aesthetic! But I'm excited for ur next one LOL I'm doing something similar where I'm gonna mash a bunch areas inspired from animes like haikyuu etc to my island

[neon glen]

@plain forge omg pls tell me when youre done, i love haikyuu!! i’m currently remodeling one of my areas bc i feel its a bit too similar to an island i originally got inspiration from.. hopefulllyyy ill be done soon 😭 ive been considering just not updating my dream after im done and do in-person tours for my new theme LOLOL

[woven drift]

Animalcrossing is done installing.
@quasi scroll you want some things?

Like tools

Or something

You said

[wary crescent]

I have been redoing my island, how does it look?

[woven drift]

Maybe some more nature

[plain forge]

@neon glen yeh it kinda sucks Nintendo only gives u one island 😭😭 but will do! Gl on building! It'll look amazing

[vast peak]

@woven drift ensuring the rock garden spawns where it needs to.

[vernal panther]

my god rock gardens are so much fun but an absolute pain to make

[neon glen]

@plain forge tysm!! 😭 i got way too attached to my current theme awojfow ill be so sad if i decide to tear it down

[vast peak]

@quasi scroll what's your layout of choice?

[woven drift]

oh jesus

[vast peak]

Omg I love the double river in the front

I wish I had that

@quasi scroll no you can't change the river mouths.

Mine are in the front and on the left.

[neon glen]

wew double south rivers... it’s a challenge since the sides r so narrow, but if u can make it work it looks good

[plain forge]

@quasi scroll map is not mine, but if ur really pressed about getting an aligned rs and airport u should look for this layout. The spacing is like 6 holes tho but beggers can't be choosers lmao

[neon glen]

yeh ive said before i dont think it possible to have the airport centered w the rs and also have it decently spaced.. the layouts ive seen that have that have a small space to work with

[vast peak]

It may be more important for @quasi scroll to chose something they like fast since they've been choosing for a while and deleted the game once haha

[neon glen]

if u want it to have it decently space id look for a rs that isnt aligned w the airport at all

this one for example, the airport is all the way to the right.. ive seen similar rs placements that r decently spaced

[gaunt oriole]

that river tho

[vast peak]

I love this.

[neon glen]

this is just an example of the rs placement, it doesnt need to be double south

[gaunt oriole]

this is an example of a good double south (in my opinion) and not my uneven double south crap

[mellow abyss]

Anyone got anymore ideas for what I can do with my resident services since it's in a bad spot

[woven drift]

bury it under a mountain and suffocate tom nook

[mellow abyss]

Bet

[neon glen]

i had a sunken rs on my old island

it wasnt bad but i wouldnt do it again lolol

[gaunt oriole]

mine is surrounded by cliffs

[vernal panther]

wdym a sunken r

rs*

[neon glen]

i surrounded my rs with cliffs all around

[vernal panther]

ohh nice

[mild belfry]

what color piano do y’all think would be good here?

[charred forge]

@mild belfry i think the black would be good

[mild belfry]

@mild belfry i think the black would be good
@charred forge thanks 🙂
