Looks nice!
Can you help me with my island? I'm trying to perfect this area to have a visitor centre on the left (campsite will go there) and a waterfall viewing area on the right (will put in a cliff to give a better view), just wondering if the layout is good or if I need to change it?
does anyone have island theme ideas? besides cottagecore?
@woven drift I think it looks like a good set up! You can always change it if you don't like it
Could people send some natural/cottage core ish museum entrances? I need inspiration
If I didn't like it I'd ask what to change, not if lol, thanks
Did you possibly upload the wrong image? This is a picture of some AC switch art (which is really cool btw), however this channel is for island layouts! If this image is intentional, you can share it in #acnh-media instead 
I sent a DA code to invite people visiting it, am I doing it wrong ?
Ah, that would be best kept to #dream-addresses🌜 then!
Well, are you going for a more natural look? If that makes sense? If so, imo you should try to make it more asymmetrical, but I don’t really have context for what you want to go for so
Ho sorry, did not seen it, I present to you my apologize
No worries! 
Anyone know any ideas on what to put in the red area, and should I move my museum up a level?
You're welcome!
Oo that terraforming looks interesting
Well, I'm trying to keep the environment natural, but I like symmetrical layouts.
I guess that’s fair, but it’s a lot more difficult to keep it looking natural with symmetry
Map update 🥰
Wow
i would never have the patience-
My map is basically just land masses with trenches of trees all around, does anyone have any other ideas of things I could put down below? So far I only have this cave area
how did u do the bridge like that? :3
Not allowed to talk about it on this server. Sooo, any ideas about what I could put down there for some nice visuals as you walk past?

@woeful trout why not?
Hello
Anyone from Poland like me?
I love XXXTENTACION
@slender scarab i like me?

heheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Aaaaaaaaaa
Yeah I've decided to begin flattening today
Good luck
But i have a great idea so
Ye
Hopefully it works out!
Flattening can take a while, but at least it’s pretty mindless so you can just watch YouTube while you flatten it in auto pilot
He hacked it in
Oh
And it can also be pretty intimidating at first with actually filling out your whole island so you should just start with an area and work from there, personally I started with the entrance
Yeah, and I am gonna keep the parts i like
Yeah, even though it’s a hack I honestly don’t understand why they didn’t have the idea to put it in the game in the first place
So its like a semi-flatten haha
Ye
Maybe drawbridges/walkways will be a feature in a future update 🙂 The issue right now is that the head will clip through the bridge walking on the layer under it (or be prevented from walking on the layer under it completely)
🤔
You’re wondering which one to pick?
Well I don’t really know your theme and stuff, but personally I’d use the zen bridge if it’s a “busy” area and the hang bridge if it’s more like in a forest, if that makes sense
I guess my theme is "tropical island with a forest in it bc i like both and couldn't decide" lol.
Lol
The mountains have cedars and the rest of it is hardwood/palms.
Interesting
this map just keeps getting more and more complex lmfao.
Lol
I guess the suspension bridge would be better.
I just flattened my entire island and right now I’m suffering trying to make a really big first tier
Literally the only thing on the other side is my house.
Lol
My island use to have a big second tier because I wanted everything on a hill
and then I hated it.
Mm
hay - jun - i hope you have fun making your island
ty. the basic stuff is done tbh i'm just needing to decorate. which honestly is more painful than terraforming for me.
I’m still in terraforming
okay
But yeah agreed
Except the worst part for me is planning where the buildings and houses should go
Because I suck at that lmao
I use to have a neighborhood where everyone had their own yard but it felt really sterile to me.
Fair
I just finished my museum area, it's very hidden actually but I love it! c:
what i have now is a looser sort of neighborhood system. Wolf mountain, deer village, reneigh island and judy fields lmfao.
My villagers are still gonna have their own “yards” but it won’t be very defined like with fences and stuff
That’s interesting
Huh
wow you guys are good
My map looks like this atm but I'm not done yet, as you can see I love rivers
Yeah I need more of them.
I don’t really love rivers but I love waterfalls lmao- so naturally I’m also gonna have a lot of rivers
you should have seen my first island design. it was like... 90% waterfalls lmfao.
Damn lmao
i'm struggling with my double south rivers
Time to fill this area in, save me
if some one could help me whith the look of my island
I would if I could but like,,, I procrastinate a ton so this island, not even finished terraforming has probably taken since beginning of fall lmao
I keep making drastic changes to mine
Mm
Does anyone have any other ideas I could put in the lower parts of my island? Just some visuals when you walk past them? Most of it is 3 spaces wide, but there are some bigger parts like the cave I have
Sawyer u lil snot
Lmao
@real vessel what 😭😭😭
My island is ur island's sister.
Lol
@woeful trout i like ur bridge 👀
I thought about that too, but wouldn’t it look a little weird with a lot of waterfalls and no like ponds above them? Rivers would be nice but they don’t look good with the horizontal bridges
am i right to assume you have water under those bridges
cause that looks pretty neat and i wanna steal it.
tho i have no where I could put it.
||hacks go brrr||
I cannot talk about the bridges on this server, strictly looking for ideas
They should just legitimately add that into the game tho, dunno why they haven’t
yeah
pla dont be rude to one inother okay we all can be friand
And that’s how you end up with 8 inclines but only like 3 bridges lol
i have 1 incline left
Damn lol
okay thank you i know you guys are nice
8 bridges and 8 inclines. 0 dreams.
I technically don't need 2 bridges at my entrance but. Who said I cared about being frugal
So far I only have 4 bridges and 7 inclines planned but yknow
I'm gonna probably put some streams in the deer village.
Ye
I really wish they weren't so loud tho.
Anyone have any suggestions for my campsite
Go hug sherb.
I don’t have any sound on so
That’s really cute
Shrubs maybe?
Like in the back
Looks very empty in the back
I was thinking of making the vertical board in the back to close it in
Ah
dis is the front of the villige
that's adorable
Yee
Does that fence look good or should I change it
dis is the front of the thing i dont know whats it couled
Possibly country fence?
Ok
need help with my map ik it looks super busy i have been trying to use water scaping more
That image is very blurry, damn-
im sry i dont have a normal switch
Ah
Everyone asks about the bridges, no one asks how the bridges are doing :’( or gives me ideas about what I can put 😭😭
W a t e r f a l l s
Yes yes waterfalls, but it can’t just alllll be waterfalls lol
Okay yeah, maybe not, unless you mix them in with other stuff as well
Hm
Decoy ducks
I could do logstakes for the fence but that’s really expensive and I don’t have wood😂
Lol
should i cut the sides off this infinity pool to make it more open or surround it with waterfalls bc that's bougie and obnoxious
Wh
I really don’t know
Wow - jun - you now your detaled words
I don't think I have enough space to do both which is why i'm asking.
@real vessel well if ur going for a pool I would go with the one on the right but if ur just doing it for looks then left
yeah i guess it would look more like a pool if it had actual sides to it.
look i got merry shouled i keep
Hhhhhhh save me
@woeful trout how have you done that with the bridges. I thought you needed water.
@woeful trout honestly you’d probably do yourself a favor by literally putting “don’t ask about the bridges” in your name lmao
A little project in working on 
looks good
oo i like
lmao that probably wasn't a good idea to show on here
something something infinity pool
Resident services/plaza??? also add cliffs and water i think it would look cool
thank s
np
that looks amazing!
ty ty
Hhhhhhhh another update I guess
lil pond-chan for this small area outside redd's
That doesn’t classify as a pond to the game, but very cute ;0
it's a pond to me.
Ye
I’m probably only gonna have 1 tiny one on my entire island lmao
I'll probably have a couple plopped around but it's like. I have water on my second tier. Where else is it going to go
Ye
the game should really just decide what's ap ond and what isn't based on size.
That would probably be pretty hard for players tho
u could have this tiny little stream and it'd be called a river bc it's connected to a waterfall lol
To know what’s a pond or not
i guess.
I have several areas on my island between cliffs and I would like there to be a nice view from above. I have 3 tiles of space in some areas, others are a little larger. What would you suggest?
Also look at this!!!!
Lmao-
I’m probably going way too overboard on waterfalls but whatever
Anyone know any ideas on what to put in the red area, and should I move my museum up a level?
@wispy jay thats a long beach! you could do a flea market type thing that leads up to your secret beach
you could do a long spa
you could do some camping/beach fire stuff
beach side smoothie shack (blenders, fruit water, stalls)
boardwalk arcade
as for the museum, go for it! give it a shot
looks happy doesn’t he ☺️
Very unsure on how to sort out my island. It's my first time playing any animal crossing game so I just threw stuff wherever and I'm really poor so moving them will take a while. Anyone got any ideas on what I could do with it?
@upper topaz could make the middle island bit into some cool bamboo forest zen area
@upper topaz or a dinosaur forest and put the museum there
Love both ideas! I'll have to get started now, hooked on the idea 😂
@wispy jay I did a little star gazing area
hey i need help, where can i fing an area where i can trade items? i need some mushrooms and i dont know where i can buy some
verify to trade in #721542917264638002 and you will then be able to see the trading channels!
Ok Thanks!!!
verify to trade in #721542917264638002 and then ask in #690093605821480980 please!
Based on your town map Im guessing youre going for a more natural aesthetic
Some suggestions: maybe you could keep everything mostly where it is and have a slightly more urban area in the south, getting progressively more natural as you move north, with the river island being somewhat exotic (maybe bamboo like spudling said)
Or alternatively you could spread everything out more and have a more classic look
Love the idea! Seems like it could work more for me since I'm really bad at getting bells so moving things isn't really an option. Thank you for the idea!
looking for some cottagecore inspo if you have any ^^
@pseudo musk @odd skiff Thanks for the ideas🙂
do you let people visit your island? id love to check it out
Starry Night in Progress ☺️ Needing materials for Moon & other Celeste DIY’s so gonna be patient for those ☺️
Probably not the most impressive thing but I made this subtle reference back to Redd's tent. Might improve on it with some simple panels of green curtains or green bamboo partitions.
How do you get that boat?
It looks like wedding organs, simple panels, (those tall furnaces) and box sofas mashed together.
with some wood path and rope fencing.
Thank you. It looks really cool
my yoga beach i was trying to make it look over grown and natural
the last part of my hiking trail
i like it
@woven drift I didn’t make it but it looks like the bottom is box sofa chairs, panels with a custom design, wood burning furnace or whatever you call it, steering wheel, and more custom designs on panels on the second level, and on the third a piano organ
I have several areas on my island between cliffs and I would like there to be a nice view from above. I have 3 tiles of space in some areas, others are a little larger. What would you suggest?
i need ideas for a city themed island, like little areas and such, any ideas anyone:)
What do y’all think I can do better w this area?
Besides fixing custom design layout
@placid rain pictures i found on pinterest 
Does anyone have small natural area ideas?
what kinda areas are you looking for specifically?
How does my lake look?
i have some waterfall ideas, flower ideas, cliff ideas, or little campsite areas?
Better photo
@mental rain thats adorable
Really? Yay!!
i like it
Added waterfalls
Wow so pretty
I’m working on flattening my island so I can figure out what I wanna do
Thank you :-) I just restarted mine a week ago lmao
Hey! Is anyone able to help me/send suggestions on making an entrance that leads to Resident Services? I’m struggling on making something that looks pretty. 😭 Here are a few pictures of the space I have. The dirt path starts at my airport and ends at the front entrance of ResServices
Maybe some flowers?
Yeah, I’ll add flowers! I’m just not sure if I should try to terraform or not because it’s so diagonal
Maybe a art section? I made mine into a art garden with a maze
hey so i'm trying to get some ideas for my island. i have so much island space and i dont know what to do with it. i kind of want to do something creative. if anyone has any really good ideas let me know!!
Maybe as drive in theater with the car beds? It's a cute idea that I haven't seen used much
does this area look fine or should I rearrange to make it flow more natural? having creative block
I'm always having creative block in my island 😭
I never have any good ideas
It looks amazing!
I think you could make some nice mountains with water falls, I kind of did that at my entrance, it’s a wip tho
i really like that set up kal!
if you're worried about flow, then i would maybe push over the sofa and bench to the left to make it easier to walk through on the right side. but it really is amazing as is imo
Does anybody have good suggestions on what I should do with my island? The theme I’m going for is Japanese culture or something like that
Thanks! I’m planning to fix the custom patterns but I wanted the area to feel like a sitting room
might add some flowers and hedge fencing? Kinda sporadically
@hot prism a diagonal bridge would be nice
Hello, just started my island, i just made the entrance but don't know at all what should I put on the right side, i've made a flower market but it seems too much and i don't like it at all, like it's not its place. Help me pwease🥺🥺🥺
I recently finished project kk and want to start on my island what should I start with?
@woven drift I would say either entrance or use Happy Island Designer for a plan before you do anything
Anyone have any idea what I should do between resident services and the airport cuz it’s really off center but also not very close so and they won’t be living all together like this soon
@slate sage Maybe a sitting area, like a airport stop?
@wispy jay tysm!
@woven drift Np, glad I could help
Ok cool that’s what I was thinking but I didn’t know if it would work ty
Anyone terraform there whole island first and then decorate?
i also did
i'm pretty set on the terraforming. only small changes here and there
i dont really recommend it tbh. i had v1 of my island which was minor terraforming and decorating my island as it was
then i got bored and flattened my entire island, then started terraforming. I used an online map maker to plan out my island's terraforming. After terraforming i started decorating. the areas you terraform are not 'perfect fit' for decoration and you will need to terraform more here and there
Island design website I used: https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
@odd skiff I agree with u mainly bc of this
Anything else i could add to this beach area?
woah
@flat sonnet Maybe tables and chairs?
Sure! Thanks for the suggestion
Np ^^
you could make a really big entrance i just finished mine yesterday
made a lil video of my Island!
Sorry for the Video Quality
wow seaweed it's very nicely decorated 
thankss! 
Hey I need help, what's that bench and that clock called.
hi @arctic lark that's the Garden bench (diy item) and the Park clock (nookstop item) 
Tysm!
@woven drift you can add a flowers path and some garden lights
Who’s island I can go to and get some inspiration I flattening my island at the moment so I need some ideas :/
Np 😌
@brave goblet you should use #690093605821480980 to find islands to visit instead since members there are actively opening their island's for visitors. this channel is more for getting inspo/advice. you could try looking through #dream-addresses🌜 and visit some dream islands too. or Luna offers random dream visits now which i think can be fun, and i've found unexpected inspiration on those as well 
does anyone have a woodsy area that they can share for some inspiration? I am trying to make my museum area a woodsy area.
Thank you I’m new to the server so
Hoping it looks betterish?
@slate sage I think it looks amazing ngl🙂
Ty I’m so bad at building 🥺
No your not, your just not used to it yet
It's so pretty @slate sage
So this is my entrance now how can I spread this theme onto the rest of my island idk where to start pls dm me and help me someone!
de pool
I really like the box sofas
gonna add a few little extra doo-dads where i can but that's the general look.
wow that looks really nice
coconut juice, maybe a beach ball i dunno. pool stuff.
I was gonna do two individual tables but maybe one in the middle might work better.
either one would look good
nice
tryna figure out how bridge guy got his bridges where they are 
Who
hello
@ SawyerG Dont Ask About Bridges#8601
I was trying to do the first but failed lmao

i would have a guest my island really isnt anything much
the only part of my island i like is my flower garden
i would like to come over if you want
Hello

Keep or not keep the butterfly pond?
keep
I kinda like it too lmao
keeeppp
lmao
It doesn't look to childish?
not at all
haha it does but thats ok
I'm not good at curves lmao
The butterfly was originally planned for a mickey mouse pond lmao
The only bad thing about using versions of "the path" my island looks empty but its not lmao
yes! it looks so cool
I couldn’t deal with paths not showing on my map... so ended up using mostly the default ones
I finally did something good on my island
can somoene pls show me what their plaza area they put infront of resident services
does anyone have a large sorted flower field
Soldier enjoying their canned rations after a battle year 1917
also do floating tvs really work as moving billboards
Thanks
Yw ♡
has som1 pictures of a ruin?
@fossil fog this is what I did
looks dope ty:)
I already shared this but I wanted to show off the lights at night.
looks nice
awesome! I like how some aren't fully grown
Canal-like area I dont know what to do with
you should place an axe on the right of that first row I see
benches seating areas flowers?
add some stalls for a mini market area on the left
ok
could transition it into a bar
maybe add to the other stalls
Flowers and stuff makes sense. Same with benches. But Im thinking the bamboo trees would obscure them.
maybe normal trees instead?
oh you meant in-between the trees
Flowers and benches are a go-to when filling up areas
It can be with minimal or no trees at all. I wouldnt mind
use those festive bamboo things with notes
and custom designs
I took down 2 trees to open the area up a bit.
So its a little less crowded on the eyes.
Nice
small fairy tale areas on an island
(mine!)
My museum area 
Having a lot of doubts about this zone. Initially it was going to be a canal café but now I'm moving my villagers houses. What should I do?
More trees
Can you guys look at this and decide if it’s the same plaza ?
Hey pals! Where should I put my extra trees?
@frozen granite it isn’t
@frozen granite the second one looks more centered than the first
What for if I may ask
I@wanna restart and recreate her island
For a spooky aesthetic
That’s my map
I hate jt sm
hi
One message removed from a suspended account.
No, burn it
It looks good and I like where your park is
One message removed from a suspended account.
Quick question, I’m having some trouble finding where to make a shopping center, because my island is such a mess lmao. Anyone have any recommendations?
it no mess, got lots of good room there! some bottom left if you want it near resident services, botttom right got good room, and of course top left if you want to terraform a bit. @subtle helm
so I wanted to make mushroom forest but I don't have the mush lamp or mush parasol that I really wanted. I have the mush seat and that mush parathon thing(i think thats what it's called). How can I use those in a mushroom forest? (also don't tell me to ask someone for a diy because I can't invite other people. dont ask why)
@subtle helm that shopping center looks good. I feel like you could build off that design. I would put the shops on either side of a pathway and kinda decorate it a little as it leads to resident services. If that isn't your style, I have seen little bizaar sort of shopping centers.
should I wait until I've unlocked all landscaping options to reorganize houses and make my island look nice
Just a quick question, if I were to lay a path right next to a river, then built a bridge over said river, would the path disappear?
Yes, that way you know what you want rather than guessing, it costs 50,000 per house and you don't want to waste those bells
ok ty! do you know how long it takes to unlock the rest of the options
I think the path does disappear but dont quote me on that
ok thx
Well, to unlock landscaping get your island to 3 star (dump decorations everywhere), have k.k. slider perform, you'll unlock 2 path types, everything else comes from redeeming miles at the nook stop
ok thanks!! so just put up decorations all over?
well, what I really meant is choose a corner and place as much as you can, once Isabelle tells you flowers in bloom will boost rating, pass days until flowers are in bloom
ooh got it
good luck!
ty!!
any ideas??
Wow i actually was not expecting a legit answer thx 😳
@toxic oar. Cool
Yooo your layout is so cool and unique wow omg
Working on my entrance! Not done, yet it's a WIP, but I think it looks good so far.
How are you able to connect all the areas in your island lol, mine is all over the place with blank land everywhere lol
tbh my thoughts too
haha
Well I do paths and then slap trees, shrubs and decorations everywhere 😅
Or turn them in smaller themed areas
Im thinking of doing a lake with my neighborhood but i don't know how to do it. Anyone got any ideas?
Hi sorry to interrupt. I got the game late October and so far I'm really struggling to terraform to make something pretty. I just wanna ask, would you frendos suggest flattening the whole island and starting from scratch? What did you do?
i love starting clean on a flat island!
I wouldn't . I had a freind who did it and they said having to build everything up was exauhstiong
for me i just ended up cleaning up some cliffs, didnt end up flattening. But a lot of people do! all I wanted was nice symmetry and i got lucky with the first cliffs
personally i think it allows more creativity, ive flattened both of the islands i’ve completed
this is my current map
Thanks. I do have a lot of spare time since I don't have a job so I'm not worried about getting exhausted. haha.
That's pretty.
Here's mine if it helps! my cliffs are mostly central and tiered in the back
Nice.
does anyone have any ideas for a south river exit island. I have no ideas and fee; stuck
my map has south river exits if you can see it above
I have no idea where to put my house or campsite 🧍🏽♀️
I wanted a more natural feel. But i love the look of your island! Im there on a dream rn and its so nice!
thanks! yea i went for more of a town feel, wasnt too good at natural 😄
@wraith coral do you want your own little place or with the neighborhood? I like mine with the other houses but if you want your own area seems like you have a nice area where it is by the beach now!
@sullen abyss check out my island, dream address is 2772 6229 7965
My original inspiration was a forest town, I'd say about half of it stayed that way :p
ok thanks!
your island is amazong!

@unique furnace what’s your town tune?
Does anyone have some suggestions on how I can do my entrance? I have 11 spaces from the airport to the resident services. I think I want to go for a more town/urban look but I'm struggling a lot. (Completely tore down everything twice) especially since I'm switching from cottagecore
Drew my fav on the island 
Hiya! Maybe im being too cottagecore-ish,, but a good way to start is Layings paths and trees! To give an effect you Can hide the residential services with some of those
@quaint pebble i used this entrance with 8 spaces, not flashy but it does good. got a town urban theme as well if you want to see the DA
oh i saw you're switching to cottagecore so nvm, lol
Oh, to cottagecore? I have many cottagecore examples ^^
I'm switching from cottagecore! :) I've been to your dream risoos it's really pretty
or from? i cant read
oh thanks! not many ive seen do the town vibe so good to see another 😄
im a fan of that
Took these screenshots from vids, I hope they help with inspo! Idk if you ment going to cottagecore to something else or just going to cottagecore, haha,,
Same,, those are super lovely!! 
Those are all really nice!
I tried to do double canals but ended up reflattening yesterday when I couldn't get the pathing to line up right
canals gave me a good bit of trouble too
It was really frustrating haha I wanted to use three wide pathing with a border custom design so that the sound effects wouldn't be muffled but bridges and ramps are by two
i really wish you can widen the ramps, so many cool things can be done!
Im having so much trouble with placing trees, since they are now all red it Completly ruins my vibe.. Bamboos are too skinny and having all of the same tree is odd :(
Trying to sprinkle in some white flowers, but idk
not a fan of the fall vibe?
Yes! But I feel like green would fit much better, tho might try to play with the red trees,,
are there any good island themes i could try? i’ve already done cottagecore.
green do pop more
Oh! Hm,, I seen many fairycore/golden with white islands, with many celeste stuff, idk the exact Name but its a good theme!
Does the trees, bushes, and hedges in front of rs at least look okay? Or should I take it out to make room for an extended plaza?
They look pretty good! It has a pretty city vibe to it ^^
yea its got a nice central look! i would just start adding some branches off to main places from there
Okay thanks!
I really need inspiration for the secret beach on my island!
are there any good island themes i could try? i’ve already done cottagecore.
ya got town vibes, fairy, multiple themes at once, ive heard kidcore before, probably others i cant think of at the moment
Also goth vibes! Some scary islands are pretty cool
Or super urban city vibes
^^
Idk if goth is the better term but.. Majorly dark islands ^^
oooh thats an interesting one, seen only one of em so far
I love the gnomes sm I used to put fairy circles under them and put something else in front so it looked like they were doing stuff/came to life
Theres also some soft pastel islands, not the most original but,, they are pretty!
MY ISLAND IS NAMED CATOPIA TOO ALSKDJ
Farmer’s market ☕️ 🍯
Help,, I have no idea of what to do with this lil empty space close to My entrance, feel like adding water is too much since I already have many on my entrance-
Raymond spotting an alien landing 😳
My Entry!!
I tried to mesh together my own style of fairycore and kidcore, would love to hear some thoughts 
That really blends so well! You did a great job
it looks great! ^^
when do the fall trees go away? also are there any good island themes besides cottagecore.
Kiddie Core, City streets, fairy core, not sure if there's a name for it but you can make it look celestial.
Does anyone have a reference image of what an island with “the path” looks like when the snow fully sticks to the ground??💗

Flowers and a little bench 🙂
@north narwhal thats what I was thinking too . ty!

Yeah it is looking a bit flat. Thanks :))
Ooh yes a waterfall entrance
Opinions on Maples yard should i add or change anything?

Any suggestions for this little farm area on my island? The orchard is up the stairs and the pumpkin patch is below
Anyone happen to know any tips to have my bridge be aligned with my path to my house? It's a little bit off and frustrating me

I've been working on redoing my island and my entrance is starting to look like something! Does anyone have suggestions on how I could improve?
wow thats really nice
maybe make that area with the garden bench a little airport area or something
I can show you a screenshot of my little farm/vegetable patch if that will help?
Hi all! After seeing some of the suggestions, I made an entrance to my island! How is it looking? Any feedback for it? 🙂
Ooh so pretty
Maybe some more flowers on the side
It looks a teensy bit crowded so maybe push the wagon or something more to the side
Okay! I’ll try that. Thanks!
I don’t have too many colorful flowers but I’ll try to find some more to add
It looks amazing though I love it
Ty!
I have a bridge that crosses to a secret little path that leads into my garden to hide it being offset.
That opens up to this

@visual tide what were you planning to do with the rest of you island?
I tried but the first time it didn’t load properly. The second time it worked though

You're island is looking a little flat so maybe a park up on anther level and some waterfalls

You could have the waterfall help decorate the park or forest wherever you are going to put it

What should I put in this little area?
Snow

Very proud of my mini map and all my little islands (:

I wanna build an outdoor arcade, should I have it inside this square with the top fenced off or above the square with stairs leading up to it?
@eternal pulsar 2 sets of stairs cause castles gotta flex
And then line the path leading up with money trees call it 2Chainz manor
xDDD THATS INCREDIBLE
Can would I add to My entrance? I feel like im missing smth..
A few seats? Or maybe a pond. Idk 😂 just an idea
I think sum seats can work!
😊 Glad I could help
maybe add some flowers, also what is the design code for the path?
Tysm! I will try that
The creator code is MA-9696-6605-2213 !
ok thanks! 
Hey how do y’all think of my kinda plaza area? Any feedback
Pretty sick chief
thats good
My new island entrance.
I'm trying to make a mini island in the middle, any tips on how I should do my water? I'm going for symmetry (ignore how strange the rivers look rn)
Hot chocolate stand! Seasonal pop-up!
does anyone have any ideas on how i should do my island layout? I wanted to include a lake but i have no idea where
What does your map look like?
it could be better but tehe
It has both rivers facing the south
How should I do my island?
You could have a lake more towards the middle of your island
I dont know where to put all of the other buildings and I wanted to use ideas from others islands
yeah i do
If you wanted to I think it would be cool to have a little shopping area with the rivers surrounding it
how so?
Like sort of a circle made by the rivers with the shops in the middle
^^^
i like it maybe u could round the cliffs
id have to move the waterfall
Maybe just the lower cliffs
Finally finished my entrance!! I really like the result ^^
that bench is so cute omg
Tysm! 🥺
i’m jealous of all these entrances 
Gives up on terraforming XD
i love your entrance i have redone mine at least 4 times lol
i hate my enternece on god
Yall fr dissing on Your entrances,, I bet you guys can Do something pretty cool! (^_^♪)
By the way, I wanna auild a crafting zone, does anyone have any inspo?
i have one i need to actually add the crafting table
@minor seal i think they meant to reply to urs
Anyone have tailor/shop area inspo?
Yeah, I think they did!
But that lil zone looks awesome, tysm (^_^♪)
anyone got any ideas on what flowers to put in antonios yard lol
thats his house btw
Perhaps some red flowers, as they contrast from the tan of the house
thats a good idea! ill try that
This is my entrance, but I feel like it’s missing... A LOT!
Hi, I'm new(to the server), but maybe try putting an arch?
I never thought of that. Thanks! Oh and welcome to the server
Thanks and you're welcome too 😄
I only know about it because my sister put a shell arch to match her house colors of the entrance
So I hope it works for you
GAPS that’s genius! I will be trying that out
All right! Hope it goes well for you!
huuhrrghhhhhh...
i try decorating my island but it ends up looking like crap
this forest is gonna take foreeeever lol
that looks really cool
there was a mountain here but i leveled it because I need the inclines lol
but it's letting me make a denser forest so that's nice.
Do you guys have any recommendations on what to do with an entrance that just barely doesn’t line up with your town hall? Here’s 2 photos
I am not good with design 😦
sry wrong person
sry about that i meant to reply to u
I just put two streetlamps either side of mine at the end of the doc, simple but I like it. Could also try an arch of some kind?
maybe you should round the edges and add some cliffs?
I’m thinking I’ll have to add some kind of levels, to make it fancy
But maybe not since I can’t lift up the town hall
pathway leading to it with cliffs running along side it?
with possible waterfall in the middle, with a little stream and a small bit of land to hop onto as passage?
Ok, quick question. I know you can make a bridge go slanted (not horizontal or vertical). But is it possible to make an incline go slanted on a cliff? I keep trying to make it but it automatically sets it as vertical or horizontal.
rn I haven’t done any editing to cliffs in the 9 months I’ve had this game but now I’m inspired 😍
I find going onto pintrest and typing in ACNH -insert what i'm working on- helps with inspiration
Fairly certain you can't, only bridges can do it
this is my enternece, gotta change it like 100%
Tried to make the entrance to my island like a valley, I like how it turned out! 🙂
blimey that's pretty
i’m jealous

the game needs more custom design slots, badly
Working on my shopping district, how does the building placement look?
I like it, are you going to mirror the bit of land with the mums by the waterfalls base on the other side?
here's my nook's cranny, i'll probably add more to it later on (sorry for low quality-ish photo)
Tents in my Campsite
Can someone help me? What should I do to make the rivers look better while still keeping symmetry
Canal or wiggles
So, should I try to do it randomly or keep it on both sides?
heres my map with similar river mouths if it helps. Not completely symmetrical but tried to keep as much as i can
maybe go diagonal in a few places and some split rivers,
white mums, similar cream shade
I feel like raiding a vc.
Not the biggest fan of symmetry but looks very neat
thanks and understandable, a lot of people like that cottage core stuff and it looks great! i like the town feel though, very cozy to me 😄
I was thinking more areas of the water shifting outwards or growing bigger etc I still need to break up the island a bit cause it looks strange as heck haha
were you going to add some elevation? but when those come in it helps
Yeah
i only think it looks strange right now because of the boxes and levelness, once you start gettin goin itll fill out nicely
Probably not on the island but I do want some overall
I'm gonna try shaping the island from the inside a bit to improve its shape
thats a good idea, you may get some good ideas during the process
If bam stops fishing in the river on that area then I can fricking fix it
i have this by my cranny, it’s not done but
I did something like this, would that work?
yea that definitely adds something to it. you just keep messing with the shape while keeping it symmetrical and i think itll look great
Working on a new campsite, what do you guys think? 🎪
Looks awesome
Starry Area still in the works
these both look amazing!
i think you should do it randomly, but dont make the wiggles too big
Campsite also in the works
oo
Completed Christmas center 🥲
HUGE Hybrid Farm (Takes almost a whole corner of my island) ☺️
Nook’s Center & Marketplace in front of Able Sisters
Zucker & Marina’s Lover Paradise
Hey can anyone help me? Ive been trying to get my last two rocks in the middle of these holes for months but they just won't appear there. I have mannequins on pretty much every available spot on my island but then they wont even spawn
Yeah bro I should have done both sides st same time cause repeating the other side is so irritating
@foggy peak stone spawns can be wankey. Those two spots might be too closs to the edge of the cliff. Try making the cliffs 2 tiles bigger and block the added ground with patterns (not manequins as those can interfere with the stone spawns if those are too close)
I want the area behind Bob’s house to have a carnival theme to it. Feels incomplete like this. Any advice on how I can spice it up?
Maybe some Arcade games? And lights are def missing. Maybe palmtree lamps or street lamps? There are also cotton candy stalls, rocking horses. Or maybe stalls with sweets or toys from toys day?
Soft served lamps or rocket lamps could also maybe work
There are also candy machines and other toy like items like the baby/mama/papa panda or moms plushie
Floor lights could also work
@desert coral thank you! I’ll try that
Glad I could help ^^
I think it looks great!
Maybe add a birdcage or some fossils?
or that might be too crowded 
I started a new island and it turns out the plaza is 1 square off center straight from the entrance boardwalk!!!! Any ideas how to make the entrance still look nice without needing too much symmetry?
oo
@desert coral Thanks for the advice ill give it a try. The weird thing is though I have seen the rocks spawn right at the edge on other cliffs on my island
If you have mannequins close by bellow the rock spawn points, like up to 4-5 tiles besides your open spots. Maybe get rid of those mannequins and put paths instead. Once 1-2 mannequins 4ish tiles bellow the rock spota prevented my rocks from spawning and took me forever to figure out it was cause of the mannequins
I dont have any mannequins below but Im wondering if its because of the items I have placed there now
Question - is there any way to make your island bigger then it is already?
no, you cannot
yw !
hi! so i made this little train station but have no idea what to do for the back here, any ideas?
@low bridge Maybe a storage area? Like for the trains shipment?
ooh true
i wonder what i could use for storage compartment
cardboard boxes perhaps?
Yea or the barrels
Late reply but it looks so good. I would make the waterfall even on both sides though
sneak peak of the entrance ༼ つ ◕◡◕ ༽つ
@woven drift I like it!
( ˘ ³˘)♥︎
that’s adorable!
I need some help... where I’ve marked pink, I’m kinda stuck in what to put within these areas. DM me if u want to see what it looks like on the island 😊
What should I put here?
off topic- your dog is so cuteee
Maybe like a cafe or like a fancy garden area
@woven drift omg that’s so cute you fr gotta help me on my island lol mine is flat rn
Happy Holidays ❄️❄️❄️
Mostly finished campsite
cuteeeee
I wish there was a way to keep the helicopter toy active bc it looks like its far away from the island leaving 🥺
Hello, I am looking for inspiration/ideas on how to decorate these 2 empty areas and change the terraforming?
I saved this awhile ago from another chat but this list really helps me if im stuck!!
Tysm!
Here’s a better photo of him :)) his name is chewie
He said he loves you too
c:
My library thats infront of my museum 🥰
Doggom is lovely
This is my first attempt at terraforming since I decided to redo my island. Can I have some opinions? Idk if it looks weird or tacky
Naw that looks really nice and natural!
Thank you!
Np keep up the good work!
I’m trying to do this natural/ cottagecore that’s so trendy rn
I need some help with a farmers market type area
Oo that’s one area I can’t help ya with, My market place spot is really quite awful 😢
That’s ok. I have a big area to fill for this market with a cafe built into it
not mine!!! but i think these photos could help you:')
i'm not good with stuff like this so :p
That’s very kind thank you 🙂 but the area I have is very big.
mabye first you could make something like a pumpkin patch, or a patch thingy but basically filled with white mum cushions (?)
and then add another area with stalls right next to it
I have a pumpkin patch in the back area between the cemetery and the woodland trail
i think the mum cushion thing might work then
or a lot of identical potted plants
eg: monsteras and anthurium plants
something similar to this perhaps
Something like this
i have no idea what to do to my enternece
street wip!
Idk if this is even the right place to ask but if anyone is willing to help me get my island's layout done I would be eternally grateful. I did one by myself and I ended up discarding it due to how bland and boring looked. So I'm starting all over again. I would like to have a fantasy/neon forest type of island. I do have some ideas for it myself, just don't know how to elaborate it and make it stand out from other islands. Again if y'all willing to pour a lil help I'll b grateful ! Thanks for your time <3
trees, flowers, bushes, weeds, also depends on what type of aesthetic ur looking for, mush furniture maybe? and if you can maybe add a small cliff, idk
i wanna terraform my island, but im not sure where to start. what should i do first?
hey can anyone help me im trying to optimize space on my island but i dont know where to begin with terraforming
i can send a picture of my map and island if that helps and i have a small residential area where most of my buildings shops and villagers reside
i like to set up yards and fences for each of my villagers but im having a little trouble spacing everything out if anyone has any tips for me it'd be greatly appreciated!
Tips/ideas? To terraform, other than finishing the 2 rivers
i think u should pet your dog
What do you think?
Free bells
lookin better already!
