#island-designs
1 messages · Page 559 of 1
any korean inspired cafe here? I visited SoKo last Feb before all the covid travel ban started and I fell inlove with their cafe designs. I was wondering if anyone has done the same in acnh? I wanted to make one but still kinda working out ideas.
I have these 2 snazzy designs, hopefully they help someone with inspo
Yup, which is why I often don't judge a island based on just its map
Try to start with your rivers and then cliffs before doing anything else
should i flatten my island?
I never knew you could do a 3x4 size bridge
poppy is pulling an all nighter
I flattened my island cause it helped me but if you are planning to incorporate cliffs in the back then maybe leave the starter ones cause they take hours to demolish
Good morning y'all!!
Looking for someone to help me redesign my island. Will pay in NMT 🙂
Hi, I messed up and the staircase removed a rock (I couldve sworn it didn't disappear when my character imagined the built staircase), so now I've gotta fix the design since the rock on the other side will have to disappear too, anyone have any advice?
rly foggy on my island, kinda cool
Is there a way to create a constant mist on my island?
dym fog?
cute!
It looks like city folk
My Ables Sisters tailors shop! I feel like it’s missing something, can someone help?
My entrance
not done yet, need to clean the cliff and put some designs on the path
anyone have a idea for the top of the cliff?
Anyone with japanese ideas
Statue,rocks,or small decorations, bushes and flowers etc
Yes
@alpine quartz not mine but I hope it helps
What should I put here?
@arctic lark maybe a park or small flee market?
Uh that's a good idea ty!
Np, glad I could help
hey!! i’d like to have some help:)
the first picture is my entrance and i’d like to keep it this way
the second picture is the bridge to the right of my entrance and i’d like to keep this too
the problem is on the third picture, idk what to do in that empty spot between my entrance and the residents service so all ideas are welcomed !! dm me please i might not see your ideas here
Just make a path leading up to it. Simple.
i love it!!!
aw thank you!
i tried to but it’s not really cute:(
maybe cut down some of the trees and do stepping stones
Yeah i was going to cut down the trees
can i ask what aesthetic your island is?
Idk yet all i’ve done is the entrance but i might try to do a hippie/indie island
Maybe just nature-themed
ok great!
so maybe what you could do is cut down some of the trees and maybe make yourself a custom path?
add some mushroom furniture for nature themed stuff
maybe add a little pond in the side
ohhh yeah great idea thanks guys:)
np
cool idea - thanks for sharing!!
Anyone have an ice rink?
Does anyone have any like.. castle themed entrances? Or stone. Or medieval?
Can anyone help me make a tropical themed neighborhood?
Hey guys is there any dog related toy i could put there?
Beach ball?
anyone got a list of cottagecore items? like stuff i can consistently place throughout my island
I think that would be too big
Tree babys are acorns
Hey guys!
Anyone know or have any inspiration pics of a Japanese themed island design for outside of a players house?
I have an entire map square to work with but i’m stuck on ideas
@viscid carbon the new update has these puppy toys you could use! But if you meant a toy for a dog you could try a football or a soccer ball (I don’t think there’s a tennis ball item haha)
Ok thank you guys
Which looks better? It’ll be all over my island in the lower areas
I'd say the second
This doesn’t look good does it
How did u get the trees so close to the cliff, u hack?
update*
Just a glitch, so which look best? And yes thanks @sacred siren
y e s
personally i like the mixture
^
Really?? O.o it feels so weird to me
yeah, all cedar or mix look better
@viscid carbon yes there is a dog toy. I got one, but want to keep it
Maybe because the oak trees are all third level growth
I will send you a licture
Its only for the Christmas even though so hurry if you want it
Ok thank you
No problem
m
My plaza getting ready for christmas.
how did you get the christmas items? did you tt?
And trade yes
be carful they may be hacked
The present piles are, i know
Ok what about these 2? It’s cedar trees and 3 and 4th level growth, and just a mix of pine and cedar at full growth
the ceder trees look good
Wish i could visit this island someday looks like its gonna be cool
@desert crystal mine?
Yes
i dont think you can vist islands that arent updated
Yea, you cant
What do you think @desert crystal which trees? And yea @median mulch no one can visit my islands
What exactly is the idea? Which fills up more or which works better or looks better
Which looks better, since it’ll be everywhere looking better is key, I’m also thinking about putting cherry blossom branches down there as well
Hmmm only thing about cedar trees is that they stay the same thru the seasons exscept for winter
That won’t be a problem
Oh no, uh ... nothing happened here 😅
Ok, hmmm the mix definetley fills up more but id mix it more so the same trees dont touch as much. Otherwise im leaning more towards the cedar trees if you dont care about seasonal changes
So cedar trees with the 3rd and 4th level growth?
In my opinion, yes
Yea I think that should work
I found GC animal Crossing patterns
oh cool
Is there anything i could add to this area?

@lavish sphinx shrubs, white flowers, white log stakes, garden rocks...
Island entrance so far 🤩
Shroom
So I have the map where the river openings are at the bottom. Does anyone know any cool designs I can incorporate with it?
I have the same rivers, will upload my map in a sec but I used it to make a town centre area
Thank you!
@solar shuttle kinda hard to explain, but I made the lower area between the rivers more urban/town centre, the water right in the middle is a canal
everything on the higher levels/side of the rivers is more rural
Thank you again! This helps a lot. I've changed my rivers so much lol
same, I wanted them to look as natural as possible lol
dang everyone's island looks better than mine
@copper crown I like how yours looks so far
I like yours! I just started redoing mine again for like the fifth time lol
same it looks good and I'm trying to get the Mable Sisters
I like your map more than mine tbh
cuz I used The Path it doesn't show up on the map
I used the path at first, then I switch to dirt than added path borders around it and I like it so much better
I deffo considered that, but I didn't really like any of the default paths, apart from terracotta which looks really weird in winter
Someone wanna help me design my layout?
I made a little zone for dom and rolf. The grass parts are gonna be their yards
i like my island so far but there are still some empty spot i need to work on
i still need to figure out places for villager homes that i haven't moved yet
I love your island name
thank you!
my last island name was kind of mean so i changed it to something more fitting and nice lol
Thought on my rivers so far?
I'm not sure if I should have my right river go in-between shops or not
so far they're looking good!
@slender flare do you think I should cut the river between shops? I'll send a pic of them
i think it should go around
I was thinking so. Cuz I kinda wanted to do a flea market there
sounds good
I just ran over there and there is an abundance of flowers 😂🙄
It ain't much, but just an example for how I'm having my island look like
i mean i'm planting flowers by trees atm, but sure
my code is SW-2184-1344-4336
sent
For once I'm not mad at my rivers
can you add me SW-2184-1344-4336
Is there a way to lock trees into a stage of growth? For instance I would like some smaller cedar trees, like not fully grown but almost. Is that possible or will they always grow to full?
Put something next to it. It will stop growing if it's to close to an item or another tree
I have a big empty field and no idea what to do with it 😦
hi
Rolf's new yard
@steep veldt you can put a sapling directly next to it or behind it so you can't see it well
Skye posting up like, "this is mine now"
She also showed up at ankhas yard when I took a picture of that awhile back
So like... I could grow the trees out in an open area to whatever height I want, then start placing them and they will stop growing if they are close together?
Does anyone have an idea what i can do with this area?😵
It won't let you plant them close together once they're past the 1st day of planting
tea drinking/picnic spot with flowers??
Flower garden
Oh okay, thank you
Ohh that are good ideas tyvm!☺️
I have this area behind my town hall, it's still a work in progress. I have nooks cranny on the right, and plan to put ables on the left. I'm thinking it looks a bit cramped though, any thoughts?
Assuming dreamy boy is correct, consider putting a bamboo stopper behind it
Theyre extremely small and look pretty natural
Okay, thanks I can make those a lot
Items won't stunt tree growth. You will need to plant another tree (fruit saplings work best) in a tile immediately adjacent to the original tree at the stage you wish to freeze it in @steep veldt
this is a really helpful guide for stunting trees, if anyone else is interested
God I'm struggling, how do I make a part that is in cliffs? Everytime I try doing it it just looks really bad
Can you show us what you have and explain what you're trying to do?
Where the Tanuki are ☺️
I'm trying to make the villager's houses in a cliff but everything I try to do it just looks out of place
@arctic lark maybe this'll help???
I mean yeah that looks amazing
I just can't pull it off yk
It looks like a random cliff in the middle of nowhere because I suck at terraforming in general
Anyone have any forest ideas? No paths or anything, just a straight forest
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I designed my map by literally drawing random lines in the shape I wanted, then going from there
Could be worth a try
https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/ Heres the designer I use
Idk what to put in front of melba’s and maple’s houses. Any ideas?
@rapid finch Melba I did a library
I love that idea 💞
Alright tysm
So I found a map design I like but I'm not sure how I'm going to go about making it without Terraforming
First Image: the map
Second: My Map
any ideas of what i should put here ? 
what is your style box?
@balmy rapids maybe u could make a little cafe
@weak grove i don’t think i really have a theme tbh. but probably villager type vibe yk?
that also looks good! 
like town/city right? yeah than maybe a little cafe would be cool
or library
kareoke
okay thanks guys ill keep it ^-^
cool show us when you finsihed it :3
Hey!
hi!
well welcome back xD
I know I'm a bit late but for Melba I've thought about making a little faircore forest or yard for her based on her Happy Home Designer request
But would anyone like to see some inspiration I found on social mediaV
yeah sure
Thx love that idea too!
np!
cozy
Most of the pictures I have is like winter / fall inspiration
omg that train is clever
I love it!
A beautiful interior design here 🤍
😳
wow 😳
using the new cthanks giving island
i love the 'bridges' i should get myself one of those
Hessss
what do you have on ur island imagine
Ah well
I reset really recently so nothing
But my old islands were quite nice I think
oh well gl
Would this look good? ;w;
Thanks 😊
yeah looks nice
Wait oops forgot to draw a line where a bridge should be at the entrance-
Ye
But imo don’t do it on island planners
Just terraform and see how you like it cause it’s really difficult to translate how it looks in game
From an island planner thing
Ye
but it kinda gets to rushed
?
im never staisfied with what i do, only like half satisfied
a lil fountain square
Ah
really cuteee
I guess that’s fair
you cloud maybe add some benches Feliz just to see how it looks
adorable like u vida
vidaa island 

ur island and u r cuter
when do i get to come visit
after I get my new switch + after I like it
bet
Time to actually move everything to where they should be and decorate which will take ages
WAIT NO
I have to get the rocks to the place I want them first...
Time to suffer placing custom designs everywhere
That map is impossible to make, you can't terraform or modify the beach area.
Does anyone have any forest ideas?
it’s not much but i did something 
Finished my Nook's and Able's
@balmy rapids looks great!
@hushed urchin thanks
Some of these outside of my house
@feral iris looks kewl
Thank you @crystal charm
👌
Any ideas to do with this bit? It's right next to my house, I have a foresty theme
Whatcha think?
Oooooo highkey love it, might steal it
I absolutely love it

@wispy estuary the biggest honor someone can receive lol. I’m glad I finally got something I like thanks to @brisk fjord for helping me on ideas
I need some ideas anyone got some
@woeful trout how did you get the trees to grow close to the cliff?
Be more specific@quick meteor
A place to put my nooks cranny and Able Sisters
Have a theme or a general layout of ur town?
Send map pics
Any ideas as to what i can put in these empty spaces???
a tree with hedges surrounding + benches on the sides!
U tryna get an urban vibe or a rural vibe?
Hmm that sounds like it could work
U could do like street shops
My island is just a mix of everything im not going for a specific theme
Mayb with a small seating area like a farmers markey
I haven't made up my mind about it yet but
Do you think a doll themed island would be interesting? Like pastel kidcore and the players are more doll-like. Could have different areas like fairycore, a city area, a sweets area. What do you guys think?
Can bridges reach over second and third levels? Like a bridge from a third level to another third, but over a lower elevation?
A fish market
No they can only be placed on the ground floor over a river
@uneven knot sounds cute af!
Bummer
A fish market hmmm
Ik it would be such an improvement if u could do from cliff to cliff
You could always do a fake bridge it its pointing straight up!
thanks! I might do it. Especially with the Toy Day items now arriving
Yesssss, totally forgot those are a thing now. It's the perfect time
I like the idea of pastel kidcore if thats what youre going for!
U could also make a section of your island like a little antiquey if youre doing differnt themes around the island, like antique dolls and such that would b rlly cute!
Creepy kidcore section
!!^
Ooo that's a good idea. And yeah, I think I'll definitely do different sections/areas. My problem with themes and aesthetics is I can't just use one lol. I have to use more than one because too many ideas
I do have Muffy already and I had been questioning to keep her or not but more recently I've been on "Nah keep her"
Mm she would tie in the creepy section
@bitter inlet it’s a way old glitch, I haven’t updated at all
Ur central them could just be dolls and u could always change it around them u kno! Like place them like ppl place the teddy bears as ppl and such
I got her because my current plan was a Witch City and she was perfect for replacing Tangy (I loved her but I was willing to let her go) but got burned out because I was too ambitious of needing expensive items I'd have to time travel for myself. Don't get me wrong I do time travel but I don't want to time travel forward in time
Any good?
I think the different themes with a centeal focus would be a rlly fun idea then for you since you wanna do so much and you could keep in yhe witchy theme as a section!
Witchy theme?
Yeah! Maybe make that creepy section like a witchy section. Lil' potion shop, Muffy, and maybe a witchy doll
I'm thinking about redoing my island again because I felt my Witch City idea was too ambitious for myself
That sounds cool
It might be a big project but it's totally doable
Yes its cute! U could add little tables or that fruit drink dispenser for like a little refresh area and all!
Hey, I love wasting hours on the island planner and terraforming my island XD I don't mind big projects. It's getting the items that kills me ;~;
You could always make small sections and if you want to convert your island u can always just expand the witchy section little by little until its basically your entire island
Looks good Zigo! Maybe add some lighting?
Like a lamp post?
olives house :)
I might, I was so proud of myself for coming up with the Witch City idea myself because I had wanted to do a city island. I'd love to come back to it when I have more of those recipes I need. But thank you to everyone! I think I'm gonna go doll island 
Changing my entrance and resident services... goodbye rock garden
What should I do with this area? 💗
Has anyone attempted to have a river/stream cutting through hills?
any fairycore islands out there 
hi
Any normal islands out there 
@rocky anchor most of my island is that
@versed wadi do you have a dream code, by chance?
@woven drift then I'm not describing it well at all.
bro, i really want to do that for my island but im not good at this type of studd jbfihefb
@versed wadi thanks, ill check it out. Looks great!
I'm talking more about rivers in valleys, with hills jutting up alongside of them. I was more wondering if I should waste my time trying to make it, if it works.

No offense, I wasnt talking to you :/
rip. I always use online for inspiration and ideas. And I use this as a planner. https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
I always lay things out before I do in game. Then I make separate wishlists on Nookazon on items I need for each section. But I wish you the best of luck, I'd be happy to help the best I can. I even have my old plans saved still.
I’m looking to make a great hall for my Harry Potter island how should I make the walls apart from bookshelves I mean like on the inside of them any ideas?
(Repost Since Nobody Responded)
I was just saying every island has a theme why cant any island have a regular theme
@woven drift my bad. I didn't realize you were looking for something. Sorry!
Ur goof lol
Good*


Eh, goof works, too!

Anyone know if there's a website or anything that you can plan your island layout?
Oop I scrolled up and saw something that might be what I'm looking for
@versed wadi very cool island (they signs are awesome!). I'm not sure that what I was looking for either, but it light be as close as I can hope to get. Thanks for sharing!
This is what I was asking if it was possible - it is! And you can jump the valleys!
Yea you could jump it if there wasn’t water too
Now, if only we could bridge it...
Anyone have cool ideas how to terraform these 2 areas?
@shadow flume looks pretty cool as is. Maybe decorate it some more.
I'm all out of inspiration lol
I thought about that sunken waterfall thing I saw somewhere
Trying to find cool ideas
How should I decorate Sherb’s house? It looks like this and he’s a lazy type. The house is not going to be on the beach
Ooh I have sherb too!
probably decorate like bob's house?
oof sorry i'm not good at desiging
I’m considering getting another villager because I have no idea what to do with his lawn lmao
Me too don’t worry. My island is basically stitched from every nice image I see
Bruh check out my DJ
nice
What should I put in this little area here? It’s right by my entrance, but I’m making it so you have to go all the way around. It leads up from this little hangout place on the beach, only idea I have is a little campfire but I feel like I could do better
i really want to make a heart in the middle of my island to put the museum, nooks cranny and able sisters in the future!! but i dont know if i can because, well, im bad and dont know how to properly set it up hehhehdsb
@woven drift that’s the great thing about terraforming u can plan as u go! My advice is to not move the buildings until U are satisfied with the heart:)
i have a huge space on my island ! like i mean... huge! what can i do to make it filled ? i don’t have a lot of items but i can always make something work!
One thing I've seen a lot of people doing recently is making large lakes surrounded with a bunch of trees (usually pine) and kids tents, that might be an idea
@torn geode hmmm sounds good! i recently chopped down all my trees soo.. i might need to get more pine trees haha
Heh, I know the feeling! Recently cut down all my trees to make way for an entrance... probably should've kept em since I'm using so many but eh, I'll make do with saplings
Hi I need help i flatten my whole island-ish but I still need help where to put the houses of villagers and the stores I’m stuck cuz I don’t wanan fuck up dm me if you have ideas
Can anyone help me come up with how to decorate my campsite?
Does anyone have an idea on what to put next to the tut mask or how to rearrange them?
thats cute!
how’d a you get a square right in the middle of the water? curious cuz i wanna try something like this too!
I terraformed the area where i wanted water and then i set the statue down and put the water back
ohhh! okay,that makes a lot more sense now,haha.Thanks!
How much lawn space would you guys personally give a villager? I’m pretty indecisive on what I want to do
Hello I’m ely! Please come to my island my code is 5236!!
I don’t know if this is the right chat
just to save space i gave em about this much, you can get very creative with the space you have 😄 @rough portal
Ooh they look so pretty! Thank youu
My villagers won't have lawns, there will be a resident area for everyone to hang out
Anyone have any campsite inspiration?
@woven drift Imagine my campsite at the top left corner, I plan for this to be a visitor centre place
My current design is a little different, but hope this helps
Plaza (:
Thank you sm!!! I saw someone else do it on insta and had to try it
that’s epic
i honestly feel like i don’t put a lot of effort into my villagers house but i don’t know what to do for them cause i don’t have much space! lol
any suggestions ?
@balmy rapids I gave them different stuff to put on their door to discribe them
hmm i don’t have much door plate items
like i only have have two well one now
cause i have one on my door which is a skeleton and then another is more halloweeny and that doesn’t go with any of my villagers sadly plus it’s not halloween anymore @wispy jay
@balmy rapids u can use this website called nookazon to trade for them with other players
i use that the server itself instead of using the website! but everyone is crazy about prices 😦
Omg look what I just did.. this took me 3 hours.. Before and After picture 👷♂️
Don't worry the turtle survived, he climbed to top right 🙂 any suggestions to improve it?
what should I do w this blank space?
@balmy rapids oh, I'm sorry 😔
Tbh I like the before more
This is my campsite 
That’s so cute! I wish i had that much space for a campsite! If you’re good at designing, I’d love your help with designing my campsite 🥰🥳
It is a big space 😬 but I've seen really cute smaller campsites. Sure thing. Do you have a pic of your campsite rn?
Sorry to bother! Do you have the codes to those stones?
idk if what i’m doing is ugly or just ugly
thoughts about this bridge being here? 😅 does it look okay? (pls ignore the dropped stuff in the background hahaha)
oo looks nice
ive had 4 different designs for my island. i restarted in june and i ended up really sick and stopped playing. i just now started playing again 😅 gosh it was such a mess
willing to give any of these except Raymond or Marshall for some island help. I’m desperate 😭
@nimble ocean i gotchu for free! whats up 😅
4?! that's wild!
@short igloo i could never decide what to do with it hahah
i haven't completed a full design yet lol such a fail
i feel thattt
hi everyone! i am just start to get back into acnh and want to restart my island。i need some help with a theme though😅 (sorry if im not aloud to put this here。im kinda new to the server)
omg i was JUST going to say that
fairy core*
ive tried cottagecore but didnt like it too much
you can mix it together or go for your own aethetic!
yoooo wasupp erin
what about city life
OOOoooh yeah try that
ooh thatd be cool!
thank you for advice! (sorry if any bad english lol。it not my first language)
no worries, good luck!
thank you!
Not to promote but, I do art commissions for flags designs!
oh that's cool!
i love cottage core
right! I'm re dsignning my island to fit cottge core!!
i also like cottage core! it was just very hard to get items for it and villagers to fit the theme
oh also do you all maybe have island nane suggestions?😅
hola
Who ships Tom Nook & Isabelle?
i just used a location from one of my favorite books lmao
also depends on the aesthetic you are going for
oh i wont!
man i tried to make my island name where my fav char is from and it wouldn’t let me cause it had fuk in it
city theme ^^
Why can't Acnh add more custom design slots??
i dont know😔
smh
itd be nice because then you have more slots for little things like rock paths or other things
right
yea 😔
Umm i drew that recently LOL i ship tom and isabelle til the day i die
who is that? (as fav villager)
chip is an athletic monkey
ohhh
CHIP CAN DIE IN A HOLE
lol。
wait isnt that flip
what does he look like
a monkey
THAT IS SO PRETTY!!
Sorry for the very late response, but Im afraid thats impossible, since the beaches and river mouths cant be changed
How did you get those trees leaves to hang over the cliff , is that a new update or somthing?
@static dirge Can I get the code for the brick texture behind your fireplace? o:
I have no concept as to where to put the Able Sister and Nook Shop in this 60x34 grid. Where should they be place? 
Six red dot are where my stones are placed. and the two tiles in beige in the lower part is the airport entrance.
finished my cozy corner ✨❄️
thank u sm!!
Any suggestions on what I should add to my Ables Sisters shop? (Going for a Fairy core theme!)
@stray gyro it’s a really old glitch, I don’t update my game so I’m able to still do them. It’s kinda like the putting a tree a one square block glitch but reversed
which bridge do you think looks best for winter?
The trees are really coming along, only a small spot left on my island to do and I can start decorating
nice
Should I put more of these in?
What flowers suits waterfalls?
Roses or windflowers
orchids? idont think there arw any . any flower goes with faterfalls . depends what theme ur going for and match the colors
id either : use 1 kind of flower and several colors or several flowers in 1 color
@sour thistle
Cool, thanks for the help,
Honestly i dont know what theme my island should be. Its just that waterfalls feels so great. 😊
Is my nooks and ables placement too close to resident services? I'm trying to go for a Europeanish/town style on my island and really want to make a canal work. (Even if I have to move it a a bunch more haha) I was planning to have some street shops lining the canal leading up to the shops. In the back right I wanted to put a tree and maple farm but now I'm not sure how to transition into it with the way the shops are placed?? Do the cliffs look weird right here? Ignore the top left that's just my layout for making perfect snowboys
I forgot how painful it is to choose where stones should spawn
Any ideas for Marshall’s beekeeper area?
Does anyone know the name of the pot on the stool?
i think it's a classic pitcher but customised
Ah cool thanks
no problem lol
Is the design a custom one that comes in the game? Or someone made it?
On the stall
I think it's an ables design?
Ah it is ables sisters design!
I love this new area I made, it's just so cozy
So does anyone have any advice on if I should move my shops/canal or if it looks alright so far?
i think it looks good!
Okay! I'll go ahead and try putting in some street shops to see if it lines up nicely then 🙂
So that’s how it’s going, any thoughts? Advice?
It looks good! A fruit tree might be nice
where you get the bee's stuff from?
@woeful trout those wooden stakes . make like 2 more place them randomly next to the path also maybe like 3 weeds scattered around for more fullness if thts what u want
the red one
Thank you
Guys!!!! IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! after playing the game for almost a year and giving up a few times, it happened!
CONGRATSS 
ty!
Can someone help me figure out some items? I'm looking for something solid and not see-through that's two blocks wide like a desk? Except tall... like a blockage? A wall? Idk what I'm looking for...
@hot dome climbing wall? or book shelf
You can get fences like that, as long as you have unlocked fencing you can buy a recipe for stone walls etc. They're not 2 blocks wide individually, but you can build 2 next to each other. Hope this helps.
Nvm just noticed you said you wanted tall lol
Thanks! Hah no worries. Yeah I'll try the bookshelves that'd be perfect
i need some inspo for bones and beas house quick question should i put there houses beside each other?
maybe some custom designs weeds
=
I literally cannot find the 6th rock I feel like I’m losing my mind
my rock garden wss accidental
they just all happened to be somewhat near each other so i built a castle ruin around them
That’s nice, but since I was entirely remaking my island I had to destroy all of them and before decorating I thought it would be nice to put them where they should be and I’ve already placed the mannequins but I’m somehow missing a rock and I’m losing my mind it feels like I’ve been running around my island at least half an hour and still not finding it
I’m literally contemplating if I should just pay someone with NMT or something just to help me find it my god
That’s a yikes 🥴
Still searching, I am dying
Any ideas on what i could add to this?
i need some inspo for bones and beas house quick question should i put there houses beside each other?
Campfire or bonfire comes to mind, also maybe use a custom design around the area? Petals or leaves or something? Maybe even just a couple leaf piles
yeah i was thinking a campfire, i wouldve done a firepit but i put one in poppys front yard right next door, i might just move it to luckys tho, it fits more
ok
isn't that the BEST feeling? congratulations!!
Anyone know what that box item is
it's the bug cage you get it from flick when redeeming points after participating in bug offs
Oh ok
I know that this is oddly specific, but does anyone else love seeing houses on cliffs next to something? I don't know, I think it looks really cute lol
Coming along still gotta add finishing touches
Do u guys think the front fence looks nice ?
it looks cute you should add some flowers bushes trees maybe
I like the fence
ty :)
Agreed, the country fence is my favorite fence, lattice being a close second
Gonna remove the first island designer item i added to my island, goodbye water falls but it’s time for the island to grow 😭 gonna miss you had great memories
island update, going start making the village soon just have to kick out maple and hamlet then I can get started :)! how’s the map looking??
campfire cookware! or a leaf fire customized to have the marshmallows
it looks really nice!! you have a lot of land to work with lol
Party king
yet it feels so small like I’m nervous I won’t have enough space lol
ikr! i feel like my island is so small compared to everyone else’s but i think you have to like know how to landscape and place stuff around but im so bad at it
very true omg oh well if I mess up I’ll just have to erase it all 😀
the more things u add the bigger it feels
i used to feel that way when i just started
now i feel like it takes forever for me to walk back a forth
when your walking around stuff and areas it makes it feel bigger cuz ur walking more
yess! I think it definitely adds to the wood theme.
Anyone have terraforming tips?? I am trying to terraform a cottagecore themed island and everything is going wrong!
I know this is a bit of a late reply, but it won't start sticking until at least the 10th apparently
omg that so cuteeeeee <3 i still need to put up decorations
Tyyy 😭
Holly shrubs look amazing too in the snow! Really makes it feel like the holidays
My trees be looking b a r e during this time, everyone in my lil island likes to have a heck of a lot of fruits :')))

LMAO, who be stealin? Or at least do you guess?

anyone down to come visit and give some suggestions on what to do in some areas that have nothing?
edit: and that i have no clue what to do with
hi @shadow nymph you should use #690093605821480980 for this instead since members there are looking to visit islands. this channel is more for getting inspo/advice through discord and not in-game 
i need inspo and no ones active in there
i posted in there before posting in here
sorry for posting in here tho.
How does my dragon look
cool:0
Is there plaza core?
guys whats the best path to use for custom paths?
able sisters layout :))

Any ideas for what bridge to use here?
I have this spot next to my playground any suggestions?
hi to the people that have a close RS to the airport could you please show me your entrance
this is what i did with mine
@hearty bluff I love that and mine is about the same size distance
thank you! i got the idea from this
Hello! I am looking to visit someones island just so i can explore and see something new 🙂
I will respect the rules of the island and ask if i see a flower or something i am interested in taking with me. I will also pay for fruit too!
Dirt or terracotta? I don't know what to use 🙁

@worn loom @tired gazelle
@misty relic I think the dirt looks really nice!
Ik it looks bad (I'm still new to the game so I don't have much unlocked) but this took me 5 hours
i need some help with flower choices. i want orange and pink hyacinths, what other flowers could match with them 😊
roses look super cute with hyacinths!
i have orange, pink and blue flowers, roses hyacinths and windflowers. and they look super cute
pink mums are adorable but hard to get
Blue looks great with pink
oh and white to balance out all the color lol
thank you ❤️
I have a pink mum that i don't need if you want it
Upgraded able sister’s studio because they deserve it 💕
Love it!
thats cool
thank youu ❤️
What should I do with this tiny area here?
You could make like a cute little Book area of small book shelves
i have a question.. im trying to do cottagecore but it just doesnt work and i have so manny space and i dont know what to do with it,, how can i make it more cottage core??
what should I add to all this empty space
ur map is wild lmao how long did it take you to path all that
So long
is there someone who can help me with my island? :))
I started doing it when I first got the game, which was April first bc it was a birthday gift. I took a break for a while cuz it was taking so long. I’ve been working on it for a while but then I took a break from the game for a while but I just recently finished
✨mental breakdown update✨
So I removed all the mannequins, managed to find the rock and destroy it, put down all my mannequins again, NOW WITH ACTUAL SPACING
The rock wouldn’t spawn after time traveling a day still, so I decided that I would remove 1 mannequin to see if it would spawn after yet another day, which it did, which means the tile where I want the rock is somehow invalid. Does anyone know why the game doesn’t consider it as valid? And how can I “make it valid”?
I’m honestly stumped about this, I’ve probably spent a good 13 hours just trying to do this and I feel so confused, I’ve done it once in the past but this has just been torture
Any ideas on what to put in these open areas??
the cliffs south of the rocks are blocking the spawn
cliffs have a 4-space "shadow" they cast that prevents spawns
A h
just break the cliffs directly south of the missing spot and it should appear when you tt 🙂
I had that issue before, I had them in an enclosed area and the only rocks appearing were in front of the middle entrance
I had the same problem, except Im not timeskipping so it took me 8 days 😢
Damn
What to do with this area? (Nothing Christmas themed)
That'd be too much for me, to wait a day and realize I missed a mannequin spot 😂
I’m free from this hell



Now time to actually rebuild the cliff-
How do I make this?
just do it
But no, you’d have to first do the terraforming, assumably a very large lake first. Then you bridge yourself over and make the shape of the moon, and place the decorations and then bridge over to the little islands, place the lamps, break the ground as you go and then put down the bridges and voila
But usually I don’t recommend going for an exact copy
Oh im not trying to copy the style im just trying to make the moon design
Ah
Quick Question
Well it wouldn’t be too hard, just remember that the diagonal edges need to be imagined to still be full squares
When Does it Start Snowing In ur Island?
starts lightly snowing as early as nov 25 but the snow doesn't stick on the ground until dec 10-ish
Thanks
That stinks i was hoping for a white birthday
same mine's 3 days before 
Damn
Mine's the 9th
Yes
he was my starting jock but he grew on me so i plan on getting him back at some point 🦍
My starting jock was Kevin lmao, kicked him out as soon as possible
I gave all my villagers special yards so Louie has exercise equipment
I love that, I want to give him a literal jungle-themed gym
Moved my house and redid the area. I feel like it's missing something though 
I like it!
Thank you ☺️
@misty relic looks comfy! maybe some butterfly models or mum cushion somewhere?
Marshall’s bee farm, any ideas or advice?
Maybe some small weeds?
weeds or custom designs
@limber ginkgo thanks for the idea, I'll try that!
kinda decided the sisters deserved to live next to eachother, any ideas for what I should add
does anyone have gnome village inspo?✨🥺
Got RS, Nook’s and Able’s all lined up but not sure what to do with this awkward space behind them.. I kinda hate that the view is sorta blocked so I’m thinking to move the river to directly behind them or to put some cliffs behind them.. thoughts??
This is what I have behind my RS
My map atm, still need to finish the beachs by the dock tho😅
Ooh that’s a cool idea
And behind my ables / nooks
reminds me of an area in botw
Im curious. I'm gonna go to your dream address 👀
@craggy nymph There's alot of Christmas stuff around 😅
Its pretty neat!
any ideas for finishing sherbs house? I feel like it’s a little empty
Does anyone has the list of ideas or areas to build on empty areas ? I would appreciate if someone can send it to me !
@brisk bear
I think a clothesline would look nice!
does anyone have some entrance inspo?
Since my little piece of land that juts out is so close to the back of my island in a weird spot, I decided to make it the "aliens who built the pyramids crash site" and am going to build a temple with sphinxes and pyramids and other gold items right in front of it. Does anyone have any recommendations on items or fences that would make this area more hidden that what I have now? [And yes, the ancient statues are supposed to be the working aliens]
I have a bee farm too and I used one of sabels yellow patterns on a wooden log table so that the table looked like it had a honey comb table cloth on it. I also put out an artisnal bug cage from the bug tournament
ooo i’ll see what I can do! i’ll tinker the design a bit :)) ty!
Finished Nan's and Judy's houses
My new and improved entrance!
Has anyone built a Christmas market area?
Also I finally did something with that awkward little area next to RS
Does anyone have inspo pictures of resident services as a train station? Tag me ^w^
someone help me expand my entrance PLEASE
I made a full seating area for my entrance
i need inspo for gnome village pls
Pathway to the plaza
My winter/christmas display is coming along nicely 😁
Hello! This is my grid-like orchard, but I wanna make it natural! Anyone have some suggestions or inspiration?
Thanks~
maybe instead of the wood you could use custom designs and do dirt paths or something
Does anyone have any cafe inspirational spots??
Does anyone have cherry or Reneigh yard ideas?
Or even some small natural area ideas?
My Starry Night 🙂 What should I add? What type of flowers & color?
Cosmos flowers maybe
^
does anyone want to come help me decorate, i need help!
@short igloo I felt that I always need help 🤣
my island is such a mess lol
I feel like mine is too I just started and I'm trying get walkway patterns
oooh i like that
I'll try posting more pics of it tomorrow
@short igloo I have like 5 themes so it’s normal.
glad to know im not alone
Has anybody made a pirate themed area?
Hi, do we share dodos here?
Not mine but I have made something similar 🙂
I actually thought that was a pirate ship lol
How do i get rid of that grey dot
You color it
a hopping entrance? I thought of waterfalls too but that’s not simple lol 😅
I might try that...
Working on my entrance but I need an idea of what to put on top of my cliffs
Hi yall! I need some inspo for my crafting zone,,
Is the space in between to big?
yes
wow
so basically i cant even do anything anymore
with the valiant statue to be in the middle no matter what i do for both sides to be even with water i cant put a brdge
great
just remove one space on both sides, the valiant statue will still be there
Yeah, the bridge should adjust itself to fit then.
Idk if this is the right channel for this, but I finally got 5 stars! :D
when you need to place fences for a 3 star
i think theres something about bridges in the pinned stuff
Heyyy how did u get the orange mushroom lamp w the polka dots??
After your craft a shroom, jut customized it with customs kit
Oh nice thank u
I don’t know how to craft a shroom 🥲
I don’t have that diy I think
I can craft if you have the materials for it
Anyone mind to share their museum environment? 🙂
mush lamp is the name
Yes pls what do u need?? I’ll give u 10,000 bells too
Thank u I’m trying to find how to get the diy
1 lamp = 1 skinny mushroom and 5 clay
imma dm so we dont spam here xD
you can tt to november and try to get the mush lamp diy
Right on thank u love u
Hate that it’s not even
omg I have the same problem because my museum is behind the RS too 
I need some furniture recommendations. What should I display on Japanese theme island? (It has both city and rural aspects such as a shopping district, a shrine, and a mn orchard)
spent over 10 hours making this now gotta move it cuz of a little change @plucky inlet
lmaooo tbh I think imma just leave mine there and turn the blind eye xD
yours look so cute tho! 
omg that looks amazing holy shit
ty! im honestly might just block off redd and cover the secret beach its wasting so much room just because i feel like it needs to be "open" f redd i already all the paintings and statues anyways, no need for him anymore
Hii lf people to come help my island grow into a five star dm if you want the dodo
Also it took about an hourish to do
you can see that it not even on mine xD
That’s lowkey triggering
lmaoo its highly triggering xD
@royal jacinth thats so pretty
That’s why I made mine cottagecore af just throw trees and cliffs everywhere
What really pisses me off is how you can’t align the museum with steps
thats has been the only thing that is not symmetrical in my island so far
everything pisses me off
Thank you
I got pissed off and restarted my whole island just because I couldn’t get my villagers to go play music together in the music spot
because if you see my entrance, its very symmetrical lol
I might go cottagecore with my island but I was trying to avoid it but idk
If you do develop strong patience
Well umm
Looks nice
I would have to flatten my whole island
Ignore the middle cuz that’s what I’m fixing, but see if just sets u up for failure
Which would suck
Why?
Mine was pretty much all flat on the bottom half already so I just stared there lol
like why would they even give u the choice of putting the rs that close
AND WHY CANT WE MOVE IT
haha I see the little of center museum lol kind of feel better when I have someone else to struggle with LOL
thats the shit that bugs me
WHY CANT WE MOVE RS BUT WE CAN MOVE EVERYTHING ELSE
How do you have so many paths I-
i get the airport
i would pay 5 million to move resident services
hell ill pay 2$ irl
just let me freaking move it
xD
Lol
I just want mush lamp diy plz
Same I only got the umbrella😔
I can craft it for you if you have the materials xD
everyone has such intricate stately islands and then there's my junk yard of an island 
Well I want a shit load that’s the problem I wish I had the diy
Oh mine aint intricate tbh
aww :C
Its the entrance and then its trash
Mine is a junk yard dw
I have to redo raymonds WHOLE YARD because I time traveled into december early and it snowed
And my flowers took over the whole thing
Except for where the path was
I like how my island look like
LOL
Woahhhhhh
uhhh
I think it take almost 2 week lol
Like 400
280
240ish xD
100+
Ok I feel betterish then
Almost 400
Nvm I have 390
all these different island layouts make me feel bad that the only thing i've done to my island is put a Mr and Ms Flamingo together
LOL
that's literally it, and i have proof
ikr
Welp I havent even done that yet
like i haven't even gotten KK to concert yet
I just got stung by bees while almost my whole island was watching kk sing
I have 200 hours and my island still looks like this
i just...don't care
it looks great tho!
Since I started all I have done to my resident services was put fencing around jt
Only in the one spot 🥲
i also made a little pumpkin patch back when halloween was announced but that's about it
Lmao
literally no progress
I spent a lot of time making a town and then I destroyed it after showing someone my island
I made a mini neighborhood
At least u still have something to do on game lol
i get on , i don't update my island's look, i fish, i don't update my island's look, i catch bugs, i don't update my island's look, i find fossils, i don't update my island's look, iwatch blathers panic when i wake him up, i don't update my island's look, i get off
😂😂
I find the motivation when I’m expecting friends to visit my island. Otherwise I just stare at it thinking about all the things I could/want to do and never starting
I spend half the time making fun of how ugly my villagers are and pray for them to ask to leave
I listen to music
That gets my brain juices flowing
i don't have visitors because i don't know people who play this game so i don't change my island
I’ll visit you 🥲
the closest i've been to changing my island was busting a couple rocks and uprooting a few trees
Well you can just share ur dreamcode to stranger , maybe that will motivate u to decorate ur island
I swear whenever I try to work all of a sudden shooting stars come out
Like I cant work because I want to wish on stars lol
for example, my changes aren't even visible accept for the bridges and a singular slope to get up to the cedar trees to get stung by wasps
Btw if u guys have time please visit my island 😅
I cleaned up raymonds home....time to find some inspo on google or something lol
He yard is simple for now until my nooks actually opens
😂 you should give him like a tea area for his posh self
Yessssss
Raymond is super posh tbh
I made a ton of progress today but I want to try to get some sort of sleep so night yall
Night
Holy crap that is so creative.
man I remember back in July when I was trying to make a spongebob island, those were the days
Now I'm doing whatever tf this is lol
my first time terraforming something actually nice!! 💞
nice!
ty!
that looks really good
Hey sometimes I see pictures of peoples islands taken at an angle, and I was wondering how I can do that?
you
Me
i know how
Cool
im pretty sure its the camera
I don’t think so
umm
Not on angles tho
im not sure
Ok well thanks anyways!
yeah sry i didnt know
I don't know either. I think this is a good time for all of us to look inside ourselves and ask "why do we not know the things we don't know?" What could the answer be? The plot thiccens....
Does this look ok? Need some help figuring this small area 
When you use the mailbox you can get angled shots if you hit the screen capture button at just the right time, then all you need to do is edit the picture! It may take a couple tries for the timing 🙂
Coool thanks so much!
your ISLAND LOOKS SO GOOD!
any suggestions on what to put on the beach during winter?
I hate the area between my plaza and airport so much.. it's so dang small and off center by one tile 
trying to find inspiration of what to put between the two despite only having like 8 tiles to work with between the two
i have this awkward area behind my flower forrest and in between my museum and campsite which i don’t know what to do with. please leave all ur suggestions!!!
Secret gnome hideout
could do like a waterfall of flowers or something leading down towards the road?
This sounds cool but not sure what you mean
like a staircase of different elevations leading down to the "main" level where you meet the area you came from with flowers scattered down I guess
This is a good idea! but there is no way to access this point from the upper levels. This is why im having such a hard time 🙂
what mushroom furniture combinations could i use that look natural. I would like more then just white ones but im struggling to figure out a more natural combination 😊
the red/white ones!
looking for someone to come give me some feedback on my winter market 🙂 it's not done yet but coming along
We got almost (if not THE same) the same island as mine. Resident services so close to airport and not even exactly along its path makes my life so difficult in terms of terraforming
How it started vs how its going
can someone give me some advice
