Plant the pumpkins you buy from nooks or lief let them grow and eventually you’ll get a white one they are random
ok
I didn’t force my rating I just worked on my island slowly and eventually got to 4 stars
Use a lot of fencing in order to get to 5 stars along with furniture you have in storage.
I was at 5 but I redid my island and put away a lot of stuff and went down to 4 :(
I never have 5 cause I have dropped items EVERYWHERE. Other than that I have what is needed for a five star
You can only have less than 15 dropped items
Yeah it’s a bad habit of mine lol
Make a second character if you need to
Same mine used to constantly go up and down from 5 to 4 cause of my dropped items but now I’ve just reduced my dropped items
I have three houses that not the issue lol
Nah I use dropped items as decoration😅 like my crafting area it has a bunch of dropped materials
lol oops
I also keep the villager gifts wrapped and chillen in their yard 🙈
Need some suggestions for this “bamboo-style” cafe on the oceanfront. Feels like I’m missing something.
Guess I’ve updated a tad the river is more natural
just started over and alrdy struggling haha! does anyone have ideas for this space? the path is up above and the beach is right below so i’m not sure what to do, i have a cottagecore theme, i wanted to do a picnic at first but i don’t have enough custom spots D: any help would be appreciated!!
i like the fruit stands! i wanted some trees around too (to keep it tall) so maybe i'll add some fruit trees as well! thank you!!
Great idea! Good luck and happy decorating
Would red/green diner sign look weird here? Lol
I think it would throw off the zen vibe tbh
Maybe as an entrance towards the front might work?
Have also thought by able shop, but that I have themed cottagecore
The sign in front of nooks/ables works well
@tidal pebble
I think that looks great 👍
I think I rather have it in front of nooks bc I have it on the beach with a orange/yellow theme. I could trade with someone to get the orange diner neon sign.
Up to you I have one in front of both shops and my island is loosely based on natural them island
any idea's on what type of layout for houses i can do on top?
Any ideas what I could do with all this free land?
Any lilo and stitch inspo? Tag me!
imagine having time to do that
Quaint little pumpkin patch corner. c: Planning on adding a lantern or two so it’s not as dark, idk tho
Looks cute! Paper lanterns customized with a Halloween pattern would be a nice addition
Question: should my grave yard be raised to a second level near my camp crystal lake or should it be on the same level to the left of the lake?
Here is the start to my wip mushroom aesthetic island! Is there something called mushroom core? That is the aesthetic of my island
Here’s my new island map compared to my old map! I love the changes and I feel it brought more of a ‘me’ aspect to my island! I’m still working on finishing decorating but I’m not far off! ( 1st pic is new, 2nd pic is old map!)
@candid breach you can make almost anything a ‘core’
Any lilo and stitch inspo? Tag me!
I give up trying to decorate resident services
thanks, i kept it simple. I’ve been trying to redo my entire island the past two days 😂🤦♀️
museum entrance
took a while but alas I got my entire neighborhood connected
how does this usage of a “the path” variant look? am i using it right??? should i change it?
im struggling lol
Is this pond large enough for fish to spawn?
@hollow prism i feel the struggle paths are hard 😂 @woven drift it looks big enough to me
@fringe pulsar what do you mean by steps? more path?
Does anyone have any helpful tips with building a maze?
how does this look? @fringe pulsar or anyone else
Anything I should add to my graveyard?
@dry sigil fantastic, I didn’t want to go much bigger
does anyone have an outdoor library? i want to make a little one in my butterfly garden but idk where to start
i'm looking for a more interesting centerpiece idea for this street intersection. it's a small area so the fountain or statue is too big, and everything else i try is off center lol
@lofty bridge Would a stone arch work?
@lofty bridge omg wat is the code for the tiles !!
@lofty bridge you could put 6 cherry blossom petal piles in a ring around the birdbath, the petal piles dont block movement.
does anyone have some like cottage core designs
@indigo panther i tried it out but i don't think the stone works with my overall aesthetic ;( i really wish we had an iron arch
@neon glen i found it on acnh twitter! i'll look around and send you the code if i can find it again
@eager burrow thanks for the recommendation! i'm looking for something a little more interesting than the bird bath tho ;-;
i tried the wedding arch but the colors are too pastel unfortunately. i might try the spooky arch tho :0
i'm looking for a more interesting centerpiece idea for this street intersection. it's a small area so the fountain or statue is too big, and everything else i try is off center lol
@lofty bridge
I would recommend the stonehedge , it's a bit hard to get though.
i made fake buildings on the cliffs but it's not really visible.. i like the checkered mosaic, but do you think it'd look better if i make it smaller so the buildings fit in the image?
@ember cypress ooh if it's centered a stonehenge sounds really interesting actually. here's hoping gulliver will help me out soon lol
@neon glen it might take a lot of re-building but i think making the mosaic road 2 squares instead of 3 would help show off the buildings more
yeah i was thinking about it making 2 wide but i'm not sure if it'd make much of a diff since my buildings r fairly large
@lofty bridge Just checked and the stonehenge is 3x3, so it'll exactly fit in the middle tiles
||and yes hopefully gulliver will visit your island soon||
@neon glen i think it would look rly good! it would make the street kinda look like more of a bustling alley market
@ember cypress that's perfect! guess i'll just stick with the bird bath til he washes up
@lofty bridge u could also try a motherly statue? i know you said you tried statues, but it might look fuller if u added hedges and wedding fences?
hmm i don't have one atm but i'll give it a try if redd brings one. why are all the good centerpieces so hard to get tho😫
yeah it's 1x1 so i think it'll be good centerpiece since u dont have much space to work with! i might have a fake if u wanna try
AHHHHH
i feel like i might remove mosaic entirely?
Took me a while and had to throw items in and out, but I'm finally done with Chrissy's yard! Wanted to keep it simple yet keep it cute and close to her fav colors
@neon glen tbh i think the mosaic really adds to it and makes it unique. and ayy that's really nice of you to offer! i would like to try it out if you're not busy building
yeah that's what i think too, i like how it adds to it, but if i make the mosaic 2 wide, i'm not sure how much it would help? since i also like the brick border w it too
ya send me a code
i think the mosaic still works, it would just give it a checkerboard vibe. and kk, getting a code
@lofty bridge oh asdfghj; sry i meant the beautiful statue! do u have that? the motherly statue is the dog, the beautiful statue is 1x1 statue of aphrodite
this petrol station looks so bland someone help what do i do❤️
@neon glen ooh yea i tried the beautiful statue but it doesn't fit my vibe tbh. but the motherly statue actually does look pretty good, just judging from photos
lol do u still want that? i think i have it
do you mind if i just try it out? i can always grind for redd and buy one if i like it 😂
@golden kayak I have Chrissy too and that backyard looks so good! By any chance, do you have the code for the flower custom design?
@ember cypress took me awhile I needed to look for it again cause I found it here but this is what I used
okay, so then what should i put at the end of my rainbow bridge?
@primal tartan you could add the other colors of the petrol station there as well. Or are you trying to keep it all black/white
i prefer black and white, to me it looks cleaner
@primal tartan I would also recommend maybe a Bunny Day Arch since it's pastel and colurful
isn’t it only 1 space in the middle to walk through? my bridge is 2 wide in the middle
hmm it's 3x1 so it wouldn't exactly fit in the middle 😦
You could get some simple panels and customize them maybe - one on each side
does anyone have any pumpkin patch inspo? im having troubles deciding what to do
does anyone have any pumpkin patch inspo? im having troubles deciding what to do
@crimson crane here’s mine in front of my museum
oo i like that one, but im definitely thinking of like going all out and it being quite elaborate but that’s def a great start and i didn’t even think of adding the spooky stuff
✨🎃any recommendations of what to do with this area ? ✨🎃
hi! does anyone have any good ideas for island themes? i just restarted again. I’m thinking maybe a france inspired, but i need more ideas.
This is my map
@glacial lily i like the france theme, i feel not many ppl do city themes
@runic granite ooo curious to see ur mulan area
(hopefully this question goes here) i restarted for the first time and im really torn about which layout to pick! i want to stick to the natural layout this time, but since i used to have a river that went out the south and west side i’m not sure if i should risk going with a north and east side haha. which would u guys pick?
i like the 1st one a lot!! like the placement of the resident services vs the airport
allows for a nicer entrance c:
Anybody have a front yard layout for Marshal? I have him living next to Sherb on my island
@paper stag i honestly,, would choose none of them? this is just my personal preference tho! i don't really like it when the rs is super far away like on the far left and if u wanna stick to the natural layout, i feel like there's other map layouts w the little island like on the top right with a better rs placement
my town center where tipper lives 🌃
Feel like my shrine is missing something? Other than the missing zodiac pieces lol...im thinking stone lanterns? Thoughts?
@pastel wasp maybe some more flowers/weeds?
What should I put outside of marshal's house?
@soft flame ive seen people give marshall a lil cafe next to his house w a coffee machine. Ive seen then use the iron/wooden chairs and tables in white and a stall in blue/white to match with sugar/cream
@pastel wasp oh nice!
Quick question did you guys plan your maps before making them or just went with it and ended up with whatever you got cuz idk where to start 
What i do is just think of something, start building it and see where it takes me
And you'll eventually start thinking of different things to build
GUY'S/GIRLS I just got a 4 star rating only cause I placed mannequins to make a rock garden. Now I don't wanna remove the mannequins cause it wil drop back to 3 stars wen i do that
😩
Isabelle adores flowers if that helps@woven drift
Yeah I already have so much of them
But it's just funny i
Thaugt it was gonna drop
Cause of the mannequins
Lmao
Oh, I thought you said the eating would drop
How did the garden turn out?
Well I'm almost finished
I think it's finished in 2 hours
I'll show a pic
Wen it's ready
😁
This is how it's sorta gonna look like
Not exactly
I'm gonna give it my own topping
Ya know
Hey does anyone have any ideas for islands I’ve just started renovating my island completely which will take a while I have a couple ideas but if anyone has and cool ideas or tops to help speed up the terraforming it will be appreciated
I’m moving all buildings to the beach and flatteninf the land
When I first started to renovate, one of my main goals were to have easy access to nooklings, a place to make DIY items and an entrance whom leads right to main plaza
I also tried to imitate the place I live in
The place I live is pretty crappy I’m gonna try go for a mystical Forrest type thing with open coves and water falls
I need to try get the mushroom lamp DIY which I’m unsure of how to get
Think shrooms starts next month
I’m in November 😅
Yeah or just buy from someone
I time jump a lot
🤔 maybe timejump fudge it a tad?
?
Do you do big leaps?
Sometimes
Time jumping can hardly mess up your game
If I just collect mushroom do I learn the diy?
But maybe shrooms need time to spawn?
They usually come from balloons
mushrooms r mats, u need to get diy from balloons
Or you can just collect mushrooms and ask people to craft those lamps for you
But u need to find the mushrooms to craft the items
I should probs but a slingshot
Lol yeah balloons usually spawn 5-10 mins after you logged in and start your day so just wait near the beach 😂
I just saw one but it de spawned when I went to shop
Well yeah sometimes they just restart or sth
I found mushrooms tho
I have the whole set so if u need something u can dm me
Ok
I’m moving all buildings to the beach and flatteninf the land
@still pike oh my gosh you literally have 4 of the same villagers as I do (Raymond Marina Quillson and Sylvia)
Honestly I’m also thinking selling raymond I have a cottagecore island and I have designed his house as a library area. So I’m torn between whether to let him go and redesign his area or not 😫
I know how u feel. Im trying to make a cottagecore island too and i have a blue horse on my island so im not too happy. Im mainly trying to get every deer villager cause they have wooden houses that are perfect for cottagecore
I'm in the absolute same situation. I'm rebuilding to cottagecore and my islanders don't really fit. But at the same time I wanna get my dreamies
But i think every villager can fit in cottagecore if you decorate it's yard nicely
And i don't really wanna stop myself from getting my dreamies just because of my island theme
That’s really true tbh
I'm trying to make an entrance area that I can change decor to suit the season/holidays etc. I also think I want a lot of water right st the entrance (not so much waterfalls). Has anyone done something like this or have ideas? My services is ki da close and off centre
I have a robo chicken with a green metal house what am i supposed to do with him in a cottagecore island😂
@solid mauve i had your same problem, i made some hills with small water falls at the entrance with a diagonal river and it came out very well
Time for some woodsy steampunk xD
A1> @solid mauve i had your same problem, i made some hills with small water falls at the entrance with a diagonal river and it came out very well
@royal marlin
Could you show me a picture?
Ever so slowly working on my map, it takes so long but I wanted some feedback? Maybe idk
@solid mauve i cant right now, i could invite u to my island later
hi all! struggling on what items (other than crescent moon chair, moon and nova light) to put into a starry scene to make it look busier! any ideas? ✨
You can spread some star fragments around
Wood stools are nice and very customizable
Telescope magic set you can make the nova clocks and turn them around for nice effect
@iron coral
Candles
ahhh! never thought of that! thank you! @tidal pebble
i’m terrified of people taking them aha! 😳✨ @gaunt oriole
hi should i spread out the houses i made like a neighborhood kinda thing should i make futher apart? (i think there to close)
Mine are spread out in pairs of two
But my island is cottagecore and that's why i wanted them to be like that
I have mine in residential area it’s made it easy for finding the crafting villager and when I’m trying to get someone to leave @amber imp
d u c k y l a k e
mk thanks!
I’m trying to spread the ducky lake in hopes others do it too @gaunt oriole 😂
It’s just so satisfying map wise and looks great as a real duck pond
And I'm planning to put a duck's house next to it
I have to get a duck tho
I had Freckles a while ago
I think it’s time to some villager swapping I truly love the ones I have but I want new faces 😢 and I’ve had my eye on Molly
same
i can confirm that molly is a sweetheart and a great addition to any island! ✨
Would also maybe encourage me to move my houses cause as much as I love my residential area and the ease of it I kinda want them spread out with smaller yards
I’m trying for a whole new island vibe and the residential area is just off I created it very early in game and it’s now served it purpose 😢
Do we like this with the stone path underneath the fence or without?
@tidal pebble I love your map btw 😍
That reminds I need to move my rock garden at some point 😭
@tidal pebble haha things I'm not excited about is moving my rock garden
Thank you @vast peak 🖤
I need mine to be functional so I can harvest things but... I don't know
Pretty much but I’ll take my rainbow dress island back for awhile it did make me happy 😂
Yeah I want the lay out you have that way I can decorate and harvest
I love the circle one you have though
I think mine will be a part of a statue garden
So less colorful more stony
The pumpkin fencing is so nice though
Way less bulky than what I had before
I need to use more fencing I only have it in my farm and in Luckys yard 🤦♀️
I think I'm gonna start work on my Two Story Cafe
@tidal pebble yeah fencing is the best. I didn't use it at all before but it really makes things amazing. How did you do your maze?
@gaunt oriole in your home or an alt home?
Or outdoors?
Oh I love it
I already have all my custom designs
but i still don't have a simple panel
After months of playing
and i still don't have it
Mine is not too levels but a part of it is a "great British baking show" bakery area.
@gaunt oriole I can get you a simple panel. I think I have two in my inventory if you wanna come over
Omg I've watched it
@vast peak maze? Its just a garden I tried out was going to be a butterfly garden but I got island add
@tidal pebble oh it looks like a maze on your map. West of the 🦆 pond.
It was an attempt to play around with the bushes which is another thing I am awful at 😂
I can get you a simple panel. I think I have two in my inventory if you wanna come over
@vast peak Omg thanks! I'm a bit busy rn tho, so I'll tell you when i can.
@tidal pebble oh my dog I'm the worst at bushes 😭
I just don't use them a lot cause it's too much work
And changing them seasonally doesn't seem like something I wanna do
This is what it is was going to be monarch butterfly garden but I stopped catching them, then just a big garden but it didn’t vibe. So her it sits 😂@vast peak
It connects the witches house and reds beach I do like it I just have to work with it and make it something I’m happy with
I sure was had a bunch but moved them so this space could be just monarchs
The witches' house? Shocked reaction
Those little stone stools look like great places to place the models.
Though I think I only have really large models
You can place the small bug studies on log and stone stools it looks really good
I'll do that I think
I want to have a slightly elevated statue garden
But butterflies would do well there too
Add a splash of color
Only have this so far
Omg I love this.
Do you farm flick? I keep forgetting to catch things for him haha
Ladybug on tree stump is fire
I have around 3 bug models xd
Yeah I had giant stack of bugs waiting for him from August so when I found him a just refilled that day to get em all done
It’s all in the vibe walking up and through this area makes me so happy
It’s right by rs too so when I need to do an outfit change boom bug cage ftw
Haha the places to change outfits are hilarious
Not the phone booth though.
Everything else.
Before this it was my ice cream stand 😂
i change clothes in a freezer
It took so long for me to get a moon cliff
That actually irked me like a lot about the phone booth
mm myes i love my clothes sub-zero
@steel aurora very nice I love it
@steel aurora it's really pretty
Fav thing about lilies of the valley is that you cannot trample it haha
Thank you!
spooky area update 🎃 
I just finished my pastel plant market area. It goes back pretty far so it's hard to get a photo of it all 💕
anyone with natural island have any tiny villager yards they wanna share? preferably with 2 close together ❤️
Trying to decide if I wanna squeeze chief in here
Guys which incline looks best with cottagecore?
depends on your color scheme
if you're going for warm tones/browns, log staircase, but if you're going more cool toned with grays and whites, i'd do the natural ramp
Guys which incline looks best with cottagecore?
@gaunt oriole I like the log staircase
Anyone have a fantasy or lotr inspired island they’d be willing to walk me through? I’m looking for some inspiration as I rework my island. I’ve started first with The Prancing Pony.
SHEEP FIELD! SHEEP FIELD!
Love this I’m hoping to work in a nice little farm somewhere too 🖤
Could deffo do it with the springy ride ons and the Taurus bathtub
Oh that's such a lovely idea!!
This is my map
Will definitely be visiting looks fantastic
Got a great flyover pic
loooooove the disneyland theme. So cute !
Anyone museum ideas?
I have some open space behind my nooks cranny but idk what to put there any ideas?
or should I move the store to the back?
I think the store looks fine there so hard deciding what to put at the back :/
@gusty scaffold what about a lil cafe or a storage area with furnitures for nook's?
storage area/post office
How should I make my island look better?
:0 brilliant thx u 3
Btw does does anyone have like a museum that uses a lot of white furniture like the harp and wedding stuff that I can have a look at for inspiration
@random mauve might help 
this is the front btw
I like how everything is placed it looks very cosy
thx :3
what song is playing :0?
kk cruisin' 😎
good

Anyone museum ideas?
@woven drift
Here you go
Thanks
:0 i love the use of the half grown trees
So on my island, I don’t know what theme I have. The flat lands is kinda themed with bricks, sidewalks and roads, very developed and clean, while the mountains are still supposed to be rural, with stone and dirt paths, stone walls and lots of trees. What theme is my island?
urban rural? 
City themed or modern?
Maybe, if you have ever been to Gatlinburg, it’s a lot like that
Anyone have any maze ideas? I want to add one for a Halloween party!
I made a bamboo forest
For my island, I really like the randomly place greenery in certain spots, but it seems like all I can use is flowers and trees!? Like for one, it would be cool to have a little grassy beach, and some small shrubs in the mountains, is there a way? Or do I have to wait for leif?
I’ve seen people use weeds to create that effect
... just let your island get over grown with weeds and clean it up to your aesthetics
Does anybody have cyd? I want ideas for his front yard
@flint obsidian
https://twitter.com/dizzy_bone/status/1267342592854724608?s=20
tabby snuck into cyd's yard to jam on his synth ;u; she's so talented #AnimalCrossing #ACNH https://t.co/tFXud66wKL
See, I thought weeds brought down the score? Because I know you can place weeds
@light arch + @flint rover #721542917264638002
I could open mine
ok
Give me 2 min
i had just redirected them to another channel, please dm eachother.
@woven drift, please use #mysterybags-and-yardsales.
:) yeah
Where is the #no-fee-island-visits because it doesn’t pop up on the side bar of channels. The only thing that pops up is #dream-addresses🌜
yeah
@dusk oriole you'll need to verify in #721542917264638002. 
Same will not pop up for me
Okay ty!
Think she means #690093605821480980
well, if you're willing to pay a fee to visit someone's island,
yes - use #690093605821480980. 
i luv the purple and orange fauna together !!
does anybody have any ideas for a simple cottagecore shopping district area?
what should i look it up on? insta? discord?
google, it's a real place
Struggling to know what to do here? I’m wanting to plant hardwood trees but idk 🤷♀️
Made this area today
Heres a cute little seating/walkway are i made(walkway to me soon to be redesigned secrete beach entrance) hope u guys enjoy :)
woa
i rlly like the first one
literally so cute
Any suggestions on how to improve this?? I’m trying to replicate the castle from arendelle
Probably add some wedding organ and maybe some more silo @undone timber
Ou yes wedding organs could be cool
I’m a little limited on space because I have the back hollowed out to do the “interior” of the castle but organs could definitely work
Help! What did y’all do with all of your flowers?
I need peninsula ideas! I used to just have my light house there with a bunch of red and white roses everywhere. But I'm redoing my island and i need something better then just flowers everywhere.
@thorny slate i have seen a lot of people make a flower shop, or a bee garden but what i did it make a mountain area there and placed the light house on the cliff, and on the ground i have an abandoned boardwalk in the works
@wispy sonnet some people make a designated flower garden place but if you have flowers that you're saving i recommend placing them on the beach if you have nothing on the beach and still working on your island
@icy flint yeah i cant do anything with custom patterns anymore im all out of room. I wish they would add more slots 50 just isn't enough i have 12 used just for on set of paths.
@thorny slate yeah even without paths you can add something else maybe just a pathway around the small mountain in the peninsula
@icy flint thank you so much!!!
the mountain on the left goes into the peninsula so you can just make it a pathway and a lighthouse on the cliff (my pic for reference but no pics of the lighthouse 😦
on the bottom its zucker and marina and if you keep walking straight you'll enter tangy's orchard
Omg that's adorable Tangys orchard must have been fun to make :D
it really was! unfortunately i can't get a good pic due to the angle but in between the trees there are fruit cardboard boxes and small items to make it lively and on the beach theres a small walkway with boxes for their shipping orders lol - i think this pic is my old wip orchard sorry for not the finished one lmao

Struggling to know what to do here? I’m wanting to plant hardwood trees but idk 🤷♀️
@proven kayak i see a lot of villager houses in corners near the beach so maybe design an area like that :)
Do u guys have Halloween area photos that can be inspirations?
I’m finally happy with my entryway! Any tips to make my entryway more better?
maybe some cute codes on top of the cliffs but it looks really cute!!
@proven kayak i see a lot of villager houses in corners near the beach so maybe design an area like that :)
@eternal falcon thank you so much
maybe some cute codes on top of the cliffs but it looks really cute!!
@eternal falcon tysm! And I’m guessing my villagers, likes it too. They always walk there and water the flowers
Plant some weeds around the well
Does anyone have ideas for the museum?
And or put a lily of the valley there
Ooo I like the idea!
:D I started to let weeds go wild some while back, and it does not affects the star rating
Oh! Tysm! I wanted to plant weeds so my island looks more natural but I thought it will affect my stars!
Have you tried using insects and frogs to make some ambience here and there?
I haven’t
I dont really have any clue how to layout my island and it looks really bad but im just wondering should i wait until i get terraforming options to move everything around???
At the table I got a cicada and it really lift this place up
And here I have hired a frog and a cicada
audie's little yard! finished, but it feels a little bare...
does anyone have any ideas for cluttered cottagecore secret beach?
I don't know where else to put this, but it does have something to do with my island. My setup of villagers that I plan on getting doesn't have a peppy, but instead 2 normals. 2 smugs, and 2 lazy. June is one of my normals, and she's on my beach, and I kind of want to swap her out for Audie just to have a peppy, but still a beach-themed house. However, I already have Wolfgang on my island and I don't know if I should get two wolves, even though Audie (I think) is supposed to be a fox-
hey i’m looking for some inspiration of villager houses layouts. would anyone mind sending me a pictures of their maps so i can get some ideas? 🙂
@willow iron
@woven drift that’s so cool! thanks!
There is a dream address too if you want to go deeper
@willow iron this my little villager area! Sorry it’s not much
@woven drift adorable! do u have a dream code so i can come check it out ?
Yeah let me send a photo!
Btw I’m still working on it! So it’s unfinished
Oooh
@willow iron here! As you see my island is still a work in progress
Imma visit it since its Kyoshi
I can never help but feel constant disgust for my island
mainly because whether it's near or far resident services is unmovable
Yes yes, it’s named after avatar Kyoshi, she was amazing and her backstory too, also @gilded forge I bet your island is beautiful < 3
May i see your island map? And I could probably have a idea you like?
all I know is that I want something natural and not too cluttered
terraforming is a hassle, so I want to keep it to a minimum if I can
about to take a picture rn
Should i add some more, like flowers?
all I know for the entrance is that I want my house to be a bit to the left of the dock, since it's quickly cut off by the river, and make that a private little beach
but my residential is all the way to the left right next to said river
@grave lagoon Yes! Your island is amazing, add flowers that match the theme!
@woven drift thnx, gonna try it out
sorry hold on
No worries
I like your island map!
thanks
How long have you played AC Joey?
about a month ish
the same I got my switch
mind you this island was from constant resetting
But how long have you played FFXI?
I don't have the energy anymore to keep resetting, I just want to move my residential
Ever since ps2
🗿
I've always wanted my residential to be right smack center from the dock itself
and build literally around it
Sorry I thought it was FFXII
The question was for Joey, Ru'aun Gardens is a zone from FFXI
🤔 yeah I reset quite a bit myself before I found something close I liked
oh really
I named my island Ru'aun because it referenced something else entirely
but I guess that reference referenced FF
because I never once dived into the series
"And this is where I'd put brewster's cafe!" "IF I HAD ONE"
I'm new to AC too, but seeing as how people always want brewster because they hate KK in the plaza I'd agree with that ^
I kinda did that already but in stone
but the distance from the dock to residential is so wonky
I just want his lil building back, I dont care if I have to pay an arm and a leg to get it back
Wish I could teleport and try manually help terraforming
I mean seeing is believing
The entry from Dodo to residential area is the most fun to do
maybe if you join the island you'll get a better idea?
🤔 dm me a dream address and I will see if I can find a good layout
time to make a dream address then
Can anyone help me with what I should put in this area? I have a woodsy theme on my island 🙂
Beeeeeeeeeees. Bee hives, bee model, hunny stand
Should I add more rivers?
do you want more rivers? I would only add more if the areas I am working on need water
Should I add a pond?
my island has only one single river because I cut the second short. I like to have more land to decorate
Ponds are nice!
Thanks
would a really long stream of water not attached to the natural island river mouths be considered ponds or rivers?
a river I think
Redd sold me a gallant statue yesterday. I love it
how could i spruce up this path from kiki’s pumpkin patch to my campsites should i try and make it windy instead?
Put some log stakes at top of waterfall
Add a lily of the valley beside the sign
plant three weeds randomly at road
Put a copper lamppost left down where the incline is
i can't post codes or proper screenshots rn but i just made this little mosaic tile path!!! 🤗 i worked really hard on it!!
My map is coming along slowly!
Would love some feedback if anyone wants to visit the DA!
@woven drift That path is soooooo nice! 😍
@bleak wind thank you!!! 🥺☀️☀️☀️
@kind grove I have a dirt path as well and I used these boarders to make them cute!
What should I put here if anything...
An assortment of colourful flowers with a white brick-well perhaps
Or just flowers only
Or path and maybe real palm trees. But I love those lamps they r beautiful
I got it! FLAMINGOS
🤣
forgot there was flamingos
My theme is tropical so...
real palm trees as Ava said would look great
You can plant it there
And blue and pink windflowers would be super pretty and they fit the tropical theme
@woven drift yeah but I need a variety of fruit trees for Isabelle right...
i need some insperation
How is my museum entrance looking?
wow
But I still have at least 1 type of every tree
thats real good @wanton apex
Thank you
also you char is cute
Thank you, my island is almost done path-wise
And general you r in the right place for inspiration
can somebody give me tips to get a 3 star island"
Flowers and decor
mk ty
Lamposts
Fountains
Anyone wanna come to my space arcade? My island is nearing completion so I wanna celebrate with a visitor or two 🙃
Spread it all over the island like jam on bread
And ask Isabel. Just do what she says
So colorful and pretty
Isabelle knows best
It’s very vibrant I love it
does anyone have any good tips or tricks about how to start terraforming? i just got it and im completely overwhelmed, idk where to start!
I’m waiting around for cherry blossom balloons. Ugh so boring
Start with entrance
😊
@maiden falcon start with small areas first! Terraforming around the RS and airport first can help too
Make a heart pond
Any ideas on how to make my entrance look less boring? I’m not happy with it
thank u guys!! ill start with entrance and town hall first, then! just needing some inspo to start it all, might do the cottagecore look like everyone else hehe
Make a mountain on left side and kill two birds in one stone by making a secret beach
That’s mine. Just find something u like and go with it
OMG that's pretty
This is my entrance! I made a small market between the airport and RS
thank you!! 
Yeah I’ve changed my entrance up like a million times. And it gets better each time
Open! I love it
These are all lovely
I love the diversity in styles!
I have one other thing I wanted to ask about too, hold on
I’m working on my campsite now
I’m lost on it
Learning the tree glitch was heaven ascended
I'm really having a hard time turning this river,help plzz
Yeah I have a whole bunch of edge trees now
Are you doing an arched river?
Yess
Here’s mine
How do you turn it?
omg your map is gorgeous!!!! @wanton apex
I find it hard to turn the river
It’ll look weird but just do a bunch of diagonals then smooth it out later
Also thank you @austere fog
@twilit zodiac tree glitch? care to explain?:D
Thx
The trees r on the edge of the cliff
looks so good!
Oh my god I need to figure out how to do that
Watch the YouTube video. There is a link in the glitches channel pins
Any ideas on how to make my entrance look less boring? I’m not happy with it
@wanton apex You could terraform two cliffs on either side to make it feel more "closed in"?
I’ll try that, it’ll be difficult to do it on the left though because I have another cliff right there
not really an island layout, but i need ideas for this empty space and idk where to put it 
Oh haha! Hmmm....just have...cliffs, cliffs everywhere! @wanton apex
Or path, trees, flowers and statues
What about a garden centre with a little shop? @hoary shale
A garden is a good idea
omg I love empty spaces like that
Ohhhh! A garden centre would be cute 😊
Or a desert with the pyramids
My entire cliffy areas are a WIP garden centre, it helps fill in those blank spaces for sure
Or a spooky graveyard
alright! thanks for the advice <3
i’ll try a small shopping district/garden
yay
What did everyone do with their campsites?
I did a little kids hideout in the middle of a forest, hidden between cliffs!
I just picked my location but I haven’t decorated it. You guys should post pics. I need inspiration
Hold on
This is what I did with mine 😊
Here’s mine
your campsites look amazing ^
Love the fire. And then the log table is a perfect vibe
Idk if I have that diy
I guess I do. I think I’m gonna copy a little bit of both your campsites
🥺
What look were you thinking of?
my campsite is too close to everything else and i dont have enough space to decorate
I’m not too sure actually, most of the whole thing came from “ugh Isabelle wants more flowers?”
Also good ideas I’ll try the tree thing
The campsite is the only building that will line up with a path 3 spaces wide
You could also maybe contain the flowers in little flower beds, instead of having them all over
iim looking for pics of island maps i need inspooo
@scenic parrot Here's the most recent photo of my map that I have
I just made the moon island last week
Tysm guys
If anyone is struggling with 3 stars and Isabelle keeps saying you need flowers, you need exactly 245 flowers fully grown for 3 stars. It worked for me so just a little tip 
@woven driftdesass I love julian haha
That's such a crazy amount of flowers, Isabelle is insane
@bleak wind fAx
isabelle just says the island is too messy
@scenic parrot
It’s easy to buy and plant them, but digging them up takes a long time. It’s very rewarding in the end
@wanton apex ty
The flowers are such a pain
I probably don’t have a 5 star rn cuz I have to many things lying around
Pick up anything, diys, wood, fruit, anything but placed furniture
I've chopped 80% of the trees on my island because of Isabelle 😭
oh and you need 20 trees too
Isabelle has just been yelling at me because I don’t have enough furniture out yet for 5 star
for Isabelle
When I open my message bottles I leave the diy on the beach and my beach is covered lol

i feel like my island is too basic and im out of ideas 
50 placed furniture, 3 or more 3x3 furniture, 5 or more diy furniture, and 3-5 3x3 diy furniture
I used the island calculator and my calculations were correct
I just put in a basket ball court
When I open my message bottles I leave the diy on the beach and my beach is covered lol
@woven drift I do the same! My island is perpetually 4 stars because of it 😂
I made a rock garden recently
Picture?
Once it fills up, yes
You can store diys in there but you can’t fill it up
my island map is never gonna look cute lmao! idek how to make that look aesthetically pleasing as well as having the island look good too, y’know? 😳
Yeah, but it you don't remove the stuff in there for a good while it will fill up
yeah true
Rock garden
my island is meh I’ll send a pic of it here soon
OMG @woven drift that's beautiful! 
so cute!!
Pretty! I’m going to do a korok thing from Zelda when I get around to doing rocks
Ty
have you tried moving the butterfly figure to the left or right
like to one of the left or right corners
I haven't decided what to do with my rocks yet 😅
SAME
But if your island is empty it’s hard to make a rock garden
can’t you use 3x3 furniture instead of mannequins to make the garden
Mannequins are easier to remove
the mannequins are easier to remove after
My island is 90% full, so once I'm finally done with it I'll have room to make a proper rock garden
yeah true
Yeah I only have a few places that aren’t covered in path. But I used weeds to cover up the other squares
I might make a mini shaped island soon, like a crescent island or something
Takes 3 seconds to remove mannequins by editing them
@tidal wyvern I have a mini island in front of my entrance!
show me.
@ cinomen And it doesn’t fit up there in the corner
@tidal wyvern Give me a minute to a take a screenshot
In the winter I’m gonna do the pathway and lamp from narnia but idk what to do in the meantime
could anyone come to my island and give me some quick ideas? my shops are too close to the entrance and im trying to deal with it 
That would be cool. Only 2 months away
@hoary shale You could just move the shops
And Pinterest!
@tidal wyvern Here it is! 😊
Oooooo I lie that
I’m jealous 
@bleak wind ik, but its my brothers island since my brother had a lowkey boring island and i dont dare to move anything
The terra-cotta is perfect
I am slowly filling in my nooks and crannies on my island to make it more cluttered like I want!
I like the path
ty! it took so long to find a path i didnt actually say 'hey this looks like it was just placed here' but 'hey think actually matches my islands theme' ! :)
Im not done yet, do u like it but tell me an honest opinion plz
I am slowly filling in my nooks and crannies on my island to make it more cluttered like I want!
@woven drift That's what I've done, filled in all the little spaces with anything any everything XD
ty
100% accurate
bubbles how do you get that map?
its hard because I dont want to add a barrel to everywhere that is empty lol.. so its a very slow process
it looks so crisp
@woven drift Try maybe adding standee grass and stuff like that 🙂
thats a great idea
And maybe potted plants, trash can's, drinking fountains, shrubs...that sort of thing
Bushes r a great idea
@woven drift Like this, sort of 😅
Just add whatever you think will look good in a small space, and see how it looks
you guys have such good ideas thank you sm 🥺 I think I definitely need more bushes !!
And street lamps to the corner is a great idea
Holly is my favorite they r just always so green
I tried using bushes but I find it annoying to have to switch them out like every month
Oh I keep my island on the same month tbh so I just use tea olives only
The only problem with adding so much to little sections is the slow loading time, but 🤷♀️
Is that y my island lags
I've filled basically every corner of my island and sometimes the lag is RIDICULOUS
I like my island a lot moslty but a have this dumb orchard in front of my museum and I have no idea what to put there
I hate the lag. I only have it in some areas, like the rock garden
Put statues there instead
With floor lights
Sometimes, I hardly have lag at, other times I have it everywhere...the game is very weird like that
Same with mine
I g2g ty all for the chat and have a nice day 🙂
have a wonderful day!
i’ve hit a wall with my layout idea and it’s stressing me out big time haha! hearing y’alls ideas is a big help, thank you all for sharing! 🥺🌸
I also have these huge areas that just got completely filled with flowers bc of time traveling and I have no idea what to put there nor do I feel like digging up thousands of flowers
I g2g ty all for the chat and have a nice day 🙂
Bye @woven drift
byee
You could just make a natural path surrounded by flowers. Kinda like this @glossy fog
Yup yup 👍🏻
is that ur island? it looks really cool
I havent used custom pathing or anything yet but seeing other people use it everywhere makes me want to try it out
The stuggle of moving thousands of flowers is real 😭
I know it sucks
Yeah. It be mine. And custom pathing is the key to happiness.
Start with THE PATH
I've planted a TON on my beaches and the thought of moving them all kills me a little bit on the inside
THAS SO GOOD
Dude...that - holy crap! That's gorgeous!
it’s a process
yeah I really need those celeste diys
Fairycore is really fun
It really deoes take time and a whole load of dedication, I'm only now actually happy with mine
If you catalog them can you buy or do you have to craft?
You gotta craft
sad
I'd say 60% girls, 40% boys...maybe
Yeah
the winter theme do be bangin tho
I think just a bit more girls play it but otherwise pretty even
Am I a member?
I want to have access to voice call
A member of what dog
i didnt know it changed based on the seasons
the heck u talkin bout
Dog 🤣
Yeah it snows and u can make snowmen
judging by that fact that you are talking to us right now I would say that yes you are a member
of the discord at least
@woven drift Are you a member of what?
There is no voice call lmao
Do you have access to voice call @bleak wind
There’s just us
Hey y’all long time no see!
Hey I know u
imagine just voice calling everyone on the server at once
There's "voice channels" but that's a seperate section
How do I get access, I already pressed the check mark and it says 24 hours and must be a member
that would be hallarious
I dunno ask in general
Then you need to wait 24 hours, idk
Maybe go to the voice chat rules
Also...sup @icy flint? ✌️
I think we are talking in the wrong chat but idk
Hmm.. loving this view ♡
it doesnt really matter
At this point, meh
must have cost you a freaking college tuition
Plus I restarted my island 6 times now lmao
oh god
There used to be this table glitch that let u duplicate certain items an dif u still have the tables they still work
Lmao
Do you have access to voice call @bleak wind
@woven drift I do have access to it yes, but I never used it
my friend fell down that hole like five times and just kept resetting her island
like I could never
I would miss shep
I have two switches so I have two islands
SAAAAAAME
I cant live without him
Y’all wanna see my second one
sure
I would get so stressed out restarting over and over 😭
is the first one winter all the time?
No I just happened to be in winter
oh coolio
@woven drift That looks sooo good! 
It’s city themed
Dude, it's awesome
is it all sand outside of the city?
No it’s unfinished
have you guys seen that desert island its SOO COOL
Ooo
its like 100% covered in sand pathing with a thing in the middle
Yeah, I've visted the DA for it! It's so insanely good!!!
I'll see if I can find the vid I saw
ima send my happy island designer island, feel free to give tips
I get bored after my island gets all built up. So this time I'm trying to take my time.
I'm not planning on restarting this time . I finally got judy lmao
i really want my coco back
I'm not planning on restarting this time . I finally got judy lmao
@mental rain You say that now 😂
Coco rules
i reset, i really only had coco and octavia as dreamys
but now i have....
AUDIE! ANKHA! GOLDIEEE!
Tbh I wanna restart since the game has become kinda boring lately
But I don’t wanna loose my island
dont
You feel me
I don’t play too much anymore
I toured this amazing desert island called New Bark! This island was super interesting and I can't wait for you guys to see it!
Links mentioned:
Rachel's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yofriendo/
ALL OF THE DESIGN CODES I USE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K01H9ymT...
The struggle is real
found it
wow
I just started playing again for the october update
Do you guys ever get really jealous when u see super creative and beautiful islands
i havent played since the swimming update
@woven drift the game lacks what to do when you get your island all done.
I went there a while ago! It's so amazing!
Yeah
yes, precisely pepper
And yes I do. Very.
bruhbruhbruhbruh @woven drift thats me when I see ur island 😫
aww
And the funny thing each time I get better at building and to me its easier restarting then to destroy block by block lmao
It seriously makes me question my own creativity, that's for sure
I think the thing is that you have to start from 0 with no DIYs if u restart
yeesh
does anyone wanna give some addddviceee for my island design?
Sure post again
I want to turn my island to anarchy as soon as I get the leaf campfire
ugh
with just fires burning everywhere
i trying to send the image but its just not doing it
the leaf stool is the cutest item in my opinion but i love the leaf fires
I love the cottage theme but I don’t know how to do it! I started but I keep getting so frustrated with it..
How are u gonna get to secret beach
Paths are a little too thick but I love the design of.your map
If you can't get to secret beach, life over
the paths arent actually that thick
ik this isnt the diy channel but does anyone have the gurdur or leaf pile diys?
i dont have a mouse so its difficult
also I made a ravine that you can walk through to the secret beach
the paths are by 2
how do you get that map thing
Even though, my island name is Kyoshi. After the avatar I wanted to add iroh tea shop. I’m still working on my island.
I've just made an incline down to my secret beach, I'm pretty basic like that
Oh okay ♡♡
Happy island designer
But I do love what you've got going on with it. Museum area is really cool
Yea i could rather add a secret path from the lower level to the secret beach OR, just add an incline
I say cross that bridge when you get to it :-)
Agreed
Me?
Yes @warm wolf you have a long name lmao
Oh, with what @mental rain way saying! Just decide what to do when you get to it 🙂
Same.
ta dah
Both a secret path OR an incline could work, depending on your theme or just how you want your island to look in general really
I want my island to be extremely natural
audie just sent me mail asking what is prog rock?
what IS prog rock>
I'd personally say go with secret path then, if that's the case
yea i thik that would work better
With little stepping stones leading there :-)
I had one on the island before this one.
i have my island on uh....priority
what IS prog rock>
@warm wolf It's a fusion of different styles of rock lol
the lowest levels have my most disliked villagers
Hahahah lmao
my favorite is by my house (upper left)
Poor disliked villagers 😭
Wendy is way far away and maple is right by me lmao
and the hill village, which is upper right, has my most liked villagers
the F O R E S T Village, which is probally my favorite. has my disliked villagers lol
And bluebear ♡ im debating going all cubs but then I like the deer, cats and dogs too lmao
C h o p s
What will you do when you finally have all villagers that you like?
hm...
Idk either lmao
THAT IS THE QUESTION.
😂 those poor villagers
just order them again by most liked
garbage 
Nobody haha love it!
There's the potential for one giant fores with that map!
trees, trees everyone
my character name: who asked?
my island name: nobody
trees, trees everyone
@warm wolf 100% this
everyone?
Hahahahaha if you did lots of trees you could sell them on nookazon for a big profit ♡
I really need to make building spots but I’m too lazy lmfao
Just give everyone alllll the trees
I've had forthaven, new aries, moonstone, wonderland, rosehaven and now ravaryn for island names. If you can't tell i hate naming my island lmao
My island has THE most basic name ever 😭
no mine does 
Noooooo....you
Forthaven was pretty bad... lmao
my islands name is Adrestia
My 11 year old wanted it fortnite :-(
EW
not me making a shrine for marshals photo
Mine is Paradise. See, I told you 😂
BURN THEM!
But atleast you don't have to stick on one theme for paradise :-)
My 11 year old wanted it fortnite :-(
@mental rain That, I - nope
@summer remnant we just met... lmao
oh
I'm in a creative block so im bored sorry im being silly
oh ok lol
Yes I would love a new friend
ok ;)))
I dont have any that play anymore:-(
gimme ideas for nature areas to fill empty space
They all got bored and left.
"we just met and this is crazy...." I'm VERY sorry 😂
