Stitches yard! Just need to add a flooring
that's so cute! i love how he's working out in the back haha
He's absolutely adorable I love him
More progress

omg oats, thats so good!
Thank you 
Still need to figure out what I want to do with the other river
Probably make the mane longer and thicker too
wow :0 that looks amazing
Im very proud of my safflower field! I finally have the thing that names my island!
That looks so cute. 
Thx! ^^
any inspo for a park in this area? the flowers will be cleared up soon.
Depends of the vibe you want for your town
cottagecore/fairycore ! @timber zenith
The garden swing is woody so that works
And the acorn doll looks the part aswell
Also white flowers go very well with woody stuff
Hope that helps @shadow nymph
yess ty!!
Yw!
Im making a japanese rural inspired town so mines super simple, a couple of horsies, one slide, the jungle gym and a bubblegum machine
I will work more on it in the future but i like the layout at the moment
My nooklings is also near and i added this stuff to give it the vintage vibe im going for
Goodmorning everyone! So right now I am doing a part two of raymonds yard! i worked on it a but this morning and this is what I got so far
Its a bit foggy but I hope to make more progress
I also made a mini art gallery/market
juzt made thiz outzide of rezident zervicez ,, what could i do 2 improve ?
I think a few cedar trees and bushes would look really nice @celest minnow
Also some wooden seating as well
ooh got it !! thankz ! :O
How can I get the plane view of my island? I don’t have online so I can’t go to someone else’s island. I tried a mystery island and it didn’t work
Can i ask for layout tips in this sub?
@native tartan yes
Great!
My winter/christmas area is coming along nicely 🙌 🎄
Very pretty
Anyone have any ideas on what I can put in these open areas?
flowers? trees? seats?
I’m trying to make a rock garden (excuse the mannequins), and I’m thinking on using white roses around every cliff. Do you think it’s the correct flower for a rock “zen” garden? Should I cover the cliffs with flowers or just place two around the furniture? Thanks!!
Time to clean up around my house and then decorate some more
Done with half of it
Did something super simple for the other half
anyone has these houses with entrances from the top? need some ideas
Mm
It might look better if you open it up from the bottom left not the top right @opaque pier
We gettin there bois
Wow I saw you photo.from yesterday
@silver sorrel where did u get that fence?
Halloween fence
Wow!!!
crap i missed that one
i don't know if they give out the recipe any other time like they did with the hedge fence
the only thing that kinda went wrong was that I think I have too many weeds on my island for the weeds in this area to grow, so im either gonna pluck weeds from other parts of the island or just settle for covering the blank areas in small weeds
@silver sorrel what if u put a custom weed pattern down? or do u not like that look?
i can definitely do that, i just kinda like the height the fully grown weeds give
i think im just gonna remove all of the weeds from my rightside area to see if I can get the weeds to grow
mb this? @cunning barn
the left is the entry way to the neighborhood so i didnt want to open from there :/
Oh that looks good
Thoughts on my opening area?
the fact that you got knox to pose is incredible lol
Any tips for this area
https://photos.app.goo.gl/dMm8d8T23S2Aymhu5
Ty lol honestly he did that himself
I have no idea how to connect it
How does this look?
good! it's nice and open
Redoing my island and finished the campground first.
That looks amazing! 
welp i plucked all of my weeds and it turns out I was over the weed growing counter by 6 weeds lmao
actually wait, 26, i was over by 26
how does this look? its a pirate themed bar/restaurant
i think it looks good!!
okay i’m working on my park area now and im not sure how i feel about this.. opinions?
Hello! I would like advice on what looks better
I could try his house on the left and the yard on the right but Fauna's yard is like 2 spots away from it
first photo but the tree is the color in the second photo
I think the first look better because the tree don't hide the thing (sorry I don't know the name 😭)
oh wow I didn't realize the color changed. Weird since it's the same tree I just moved it lol ty!
And benny dw it's a swinging bench
Why not a little place with bnch and flowers@woven drift?
@shell wing thank you for the word 💓
@woven drift your welcome
Campsite ⛺️
Need a little help here. This is my paint n sip/sculpture area next to the museum. Statues can be swapped out but im not sure what else to add. Maybe a blanket pattern on the wood with a table/couch lounge area?
A relaxation couch area would be nice
or maybe pillows
Likin the idea of pillows! Maybe a stack of zen cushions too
I reset my island after not playing it scince the diving update and I don’t have a theme for my island? Any theme ideas
My theme is London... Everyone does Japan and I liked the red phone booths and street lights
@azure cove if you want help, lemmy know! I'd love to play with you!
I don’t even think u can join because I just reset it like 20 mins ago sjfjdj
Pfft if you want to when you get far enough for me to be able to Id be happy to.
Id love to see some pics of your island. That sounds beautiful!
When Sherb was one of your firsts so you try to help him decorate his weird home 🤣 trying to make an antique house
Can somone please show me a nice orchard? Mine is a mess.
Thanks ~
My vilaigers don't like the furniture I give them
Anybody have a nice way I can use all of these mums? i got rid of over 200 flowers but I feel like I still want some sort of garden with these
@charred geyser breed pink ones?
How do I prevent myself from using literally only zen bridges (aside from 2 suspension bridges) I love them too much but I don’t wanna overdo them lmao-
Suspension bridges are my second favorites and I feel like I should implement them more but hhh
@dim dune do whatever makes you happy. i use all stone bridges so it is all cohesive so you do you
Fair
@bitter inlet i just want to keep them as red and white I think
almost done with my market :)) just waiting on a few items to come tmr
cute^
ahhh cute!

Where should my house be on this platform-
I kinda feel like it looks weird when it’s in the middle but I’m not sure how I’d put it to the side? (The pathing bottom right is where an incline is planned)
it looks like you have a perfect spot in the very back!
right along that back edge as far back as you can go is where id put it
Hm
Maybe
that would look nice
I might actually do that exact thing except not have it at the very back but rather still 1 space between the house and the edge
(Very minimal difference but-)
Anybody have a little shoe shine area on their island? I have one but it’s just shoes on a rug...any ideas to make it better?
Im having trouble making this little moon island and idk where to start
Now it’s just planning what villagers should go in which spots
Hold on a moment
1 spot up looks great too!
which bridge would look nicer here, a log bridge or a brick bridge?
brick
@willow elm
Sorry it took a bit long but hopefully I’ve broken it down quite a lot for you, then you just mirror it on the other side
Do you have a DA I’d love to come see this. It’s gorgeous. Great use of the forced perspective
So hopefully that helps
@dim dune tysm
Np, and good luck :)
Terraformed this lil area so now time to decorate
@willow elm
Lmao guess that works as well
I am probably going to use these white pansies for the cliff so it matches my other one, I am getting rid of this whole area so I hope I can use as many as I can lol
But usually once you’ve gotten a hang of noticing tiles you can quite easily break down the shape into tiles and half tiles, and based on decorations see width
The one you sent isn’t entirely accurate to the one eevee sent as the sides north and south are 3 tiles instead of 4, but yea very close
This is the other cliff area I made
Oo
I just terraformed my entire island first and then gonna do decorations
So I haven’t even started decorating yet and now it’s just moving back houses and building inclines and stuff and THEN it’s decorating which may or may not be hell
We’ll see
The only thing that sucks about decorating for me is putting the clear paths down so flowers don’t multiply
Ironwood chair to make a little stoop thingy and I feel like I've seen a small tin box I've seen as part of a train set that might work for polish. Maybe a wooden bucket/the sewing box for a bit of a cobblers vibe
I might add more terraforming because the rest of my island feels super empty now lol
Anyway guys I need help on which villager should have their house where
Kinda want it to be somewhat based on personality and stuff
So my villagers are
Deidre, reneigh, Skye, maple, diana, audie, Raymond, sherb, dom, Apollo (yes they’re just there to be pretty which is why basically all of them are popular lmao)
One thing I do know is that I want audie close to a beach, Apollo on one of the next tier spots (because he a b i r d) and maple somewhere more forest-y but no idea about the others
Like where they would fit in
I think skye should be on the highest cliff because higher altitudes equal cooler temperatures
Ooo that’s interesting
@dim dune I did it, tysm 
Np :)
Sherb should be near a garden if you have one
Diana should be near the tailors shop
Wait what hm
Apollo should be on the lowest tier because his poor back cant handle walking up stairs
Idk
Lol
Lmao
I just made a small neighborhood and then gave Raymond his area because he is posh like that
Lmao
I mean isn’t Raymond goal basically fashion designer? Wouldn’t he be better close to ables?
He is the closest to ables out of all of my villagers but since he is more to himself and introverted I kept him away from others
Lol
Here is a part of the neighborhood
But yeah diana has the goal of dermatologist so not really the best lmao (other than the snooty personality)
9 of my villagers live here
Oo
And raymonds area is here
Yeah I don’t really have a neighborhood since I’m going more natural/cottage core I guess but still in their own area
Damn that’s a big yard
Yea he has a bigger yard than me
Bruh
And raymond always used to look at art when I had it out so I made my art market a part of his yard
H u h
Oof
Anyway guess it’s time to randomly put down their houses with just a few villagers I know roughly where I want them ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Lol good luck
anyone have photos of their island layout ?! i havnt played in a while and have only completed my entry way + need some new inspo to get started 🥺 thankyou
Maybe a bit later, I want to see how it looks all grown
Well if you don’t mind the fact that I literally have no decorations whatsoever this is one of my areas that I quite like
very cute !!
Oh yea and here is my map
Nice nice
Oh I thought you stunted the trees on purpose. I think it looks great already.
@uneven gale I know this is my entrance but you could use this sorta thing wherever ya want
Oh lol. Nah it was just a progress photo, most of the trees will be fully grown. I don't time travel tho it'll be like 2 more days
Yo so, should audie be the first place or the second place (both close to the beach)
I think second looks very nice
this is all i have done but i don’t know how to make the walls from the outside of the entry way look cute or what to put there
I think it looks super cute tho
Wdym from the outside of the entrance?
Ah
Also for a small garden this works and its a 3x3 so you could add benches and lights if you wish and you could do this with three different white flowers
Maybe put your shop on one side and ables on the other? Or more cliffs
Well, what I did is just making my entrance like a little hill, on my map you can see it’s not really connected to anything specific
feel like i’ve lost my creativity since i’ve last played lol
That’s fair enough
I mean I haven’t even started decorating and I think I started like before fall, so about 3 months just for terraforming, sometimes we just hit that little rut
shhhhhh no it’s not because I played other games, not at all
hello everyone! just a little help with some ideas of what should i so in this part next to the museum
same hahahaha
Maybe an open air fossil exhibit? @sterile crest
maybe like a coffe shop just before you enter the museum 😏 idk 😂
Should my bamboo area have a red zen bridge or a normal zen bridge? (I use normal zen bridge for pretty much everything else)
anyone have an urban themed island? i’m trying to build a city area and need ideas
I remember using a red zen bridge near my bamboo area and it looked really good so I do recommend it
Nice nice ty
does anyone have an holiday flower arrangement inspo ?
Putting those tall lanterns next to it can help if you think it’s lacking
I love how you put your houses in pairs
I just really love it lol
Also I like how it is foresty and super simple
Anyone have any ideas of items or furniture I should place on this cliff of my light house, I want a white color theme for it
@sterile crest that forest looks amazing 🥰
thanks everyone 🥺
@covert summit maybe some chair and table like a little coffee area idk 👀
Hmmm I like that, thanks I’ll definitely try that out
or maybe 🤔 a telescope and something like that so you can what the stars ✨
😯 oooh yeah with a picnic blanket near by and a lunch box
yes!
i want to to have more friends so i can visit them and they can come to mines
anyone got some music area ideas, i have a cute place with instruments but its kinda scattered
@covert summit. :0 u hav white garden lampsss
Due to COVID, I can’t see my girlfriend for her birthday. So, I set up a birthday party Area for us on my island. Do you guys like it?
that's so sweet. i love it and i hope she loves it, too 🙂
looking for someone to come give me some feedback on my winter market 🙂 it's not done yet but coming along
I really want a cute aesthetic but yet kinda natural kind of entrance, I been looking at pinterest for so long but found nothin I rly like. Ya'll got some inspo??..
@lean patrol here ill dm you some pics lemme know!
@woven drift Thank you!! I would love some
Anyone know a good path to match the back part of the pink climbing wall?
hi dous any one whont to come visit and chill and look at each others island
Can I join someone
you can join me if you whont too
do you whont to friand me so you can do almost any thing you whont is that fine
Sure
I need help, idk what to do with this area at all 😣 it’s frustrating and I need ideas
@tardy fossil What's by it?
Ice rink
@wispy jay Maybe a shop for the skates or a small coffee/hotcoco stand for people after they go ice skating
Hmmm the hot coco stand doesn’t sound bad 🤔
I used a golden chair at one point to as a meet Santa thing and put presents by it, and also a Christmas tree farm
That is so cool, do y’all have photos?
I’m trying to make zells area a little zen garden type meditation area, but I can’t seem to get it right, any ideas?
You shouldn’t focus on design until you get the terraforming tools, trust me it’s much easier to design when you have full control of your island.
@merry cedar thank you for the advice I guess I’ll just grind away til I get the tools
Just keep progressing and you’ll get a better feel for the game and what you want your island to look like
@merry cedar thank you 😊
My biggest design advice in general is always to decide what specifically themed areas you want for the island, preplanning always helps
any suggestions on how i can improve my island?
@mint sigil make like a shop spot
cool
with nooks cranny all together
yes that would be cool
idk
nope 🤣
thx 
@gray mural yup i agree
thx 
my layout scucks tho
@north trellis I'm here for inspo! But I was thinking... What are the benefits of online? Like I have a LOT of points
My island map, half of the paths you see are not done currently but will be replaced with stone or custom paths eventually. Houses placement is almost definitive.
see bad bad
It's just simple... Lol
thats the prob
@winter flicker reminds me of a circuit board haha
@north trellis did you just start?
I get my inspo from Pinterest too
I also love symmetry.
So this is what I have so far
no i restart
wowww that’s looks so cool
@gray mural wowwwwwwwwwwwww
nope u dont
i think it looks great how it is
Also the tent area is supposed to be a forest but it's hard making one even though Its nearly two 16x16 squares
i understand
I just suck at it the forests 💀
well i hope you can do it :))
Thanks! Im only a few hours old on this server
Do you know anyone whose experienced?
I am also going for a white theme... Like the moon white and grey?
So I wanted white or grey items... Think I'll need to trade
But I'm super new to the online stuff
i’m not sure of anyone who is super experienced but trading is super easy once you figure it out
and if you have any questions about it feel free to ask :))
in fact, there’s a whole channel just for asking questions if you need help
HELLOOOOO if anyone has any id really appreciate some inspo pics of nooks & ables that are all foresty or natural 😬😬😬
I’m thinking it would be a good time to redo my water ways now that I have caught all of the fish.
My Nook’s is kind of natural
:000 that’s super cute
Can someone let me come to their island to see the designs I kinda need ideas T-T
so cute owo
This is my less natural Able’s @slim dove
oo i love that
Made a snowy bamboo forest! I think it looks p decent!
(Still adding more bamboo tho)
How did you get the snow?
I actually used a custom design to haha @onyx kelp to make it appear it is
Is there a way that I can get it?
I believe it's in #path-codes if you scroll up a bit
U can visit mine in a dream!
Thanks.

think it’s better to have all shops etc together ? or spread out through out the island ?
@uneven gale I have mine in different places bc I made areas for them, like nooks I made a store for the stuff u can get with nook miles and for able sisters I made a area for my custom clothes that don't fit on the shelves inside
finally got rid of all my mountainsss
Just finished my giant lake build!!!! Took forever but so worth it!! (Not my idea, inspiration from Froggycrossing on YouTube)
my path :3
a few pictures of my mansion! not quite finished since i need heart crystals for more pipe organs
thats honestly beautiful
thank you
!! @hushed hamlet
welcome to castlecore
@crisp steppe
Y'all like dog racing?
@rapid finch i love froggycrossing and that lake view is sooo cool! i love the scenery
@foggy stag that's so cool, ahah!
@woven drift tysm! I love froggycrossing too!
@dapper flare wow that looks amazing 🤩🤩🤩
Kinda lost and don’t know what to put in the empty space 🙂 any ideas
@sonic ravine thanks!
thanks so much!
I need inspo for my goth island please! I already have items for it but am always willing to trade for more
Couldn't go to someones island :D
please show
How about that oval wooden diy table or a brown rattan table with an athrium plant or some dring ir a candle on it? Or how about a brown potted yucca plant in that area? ^^
I dont have the items with me right now as theyre at a friends island (i just reset mine), but heres my layout before terraforming!
Renovating my island is one job
bruh. You one-up me
im crying bc my island looks like the room of a child whoms parents let them decore their room
Which thing should I put next to the benches?
Clock looks nice!
I thought maybe sideways, but in the end its just taste and up to you what you like more ^^
the mushroom keeps it colourful and bright or the clock/ light as it adds something taller to the area!
hmm I see
thank u! (:
does anyone have any photos of two story picnic/ chill areas that i can use for inspiration?!
Oh yeah- regarding ideas to my goth island, anybody got any entrance ideas for me?
Second this ^^
I doubt it but does anyone have switch capture card I could record an island tour with?
I think maybe lamppost cause it matches the other ones in the back
Does anyone have a city entrance with a close resident services?
Almost finished product, what am I missing? Any tips?
It’s looks cute!
Looks good! What about hyacinth lamp or tree’s bounty lamo on top of tables
@gentle flower
If it makes you feel any better, that's basically my island. Working on getting a plan tonight.
custom path like leaves and stuff would be cute, or scattered paper would be cute too
Can anyone share beach layout? Need some inspiration
Any suggestions on where to put the 7,000 trees required is appreciated. 🙂 I'm making a neighborhood & my inventory is beyond full...
near villager homes, rivers, idk
Well. I know some people have "orchards" so to speak. So if anyone does, I'd like to see them.
@royal jacinth Not mine but hope it helps
Thankyou
Hi unfortunately my resident devices and airlines are pretty close together so I am looking for some good entrance inspo that takes up not a lot of space. My theme is changing into fairycore/cottagecore tag me if u have ideas
Np glad I could help@royal jacinth
I need fairycore entrance ideas desperately
Thank you!! It looks amazing!
looking for people to come explore my island and give me feedback! i’d like to know your favorite parts, the parts you think need work, etc!
yo but i have a lot of trouble getting new items and im kinda stumped. ACNH is my first game in the series and i dont know what im doing, do you guys have any ways to get items at a better pace?
Does anybody have an idea what i can build/make here?
You could give the house a nice front yard
Like fence it in and bushes or something and a cute path to connect with other stuff around it
Nice idea but its my sisters house so i dont know if i can do that
Hmm the area is near the airport & Beach. There is a tiki torch so maybe a bonfire area with like stumps around it
Ooooh nice idea i am going to do that thanks
Finally working on my island again
brick or wood incline? also open to other options
I should choose brick
Brick
ty!
advice for starting to design my island?
@muted oasis choose an area to design first, and clear out the area, then start working on that area. You can find a lot of Inspo in this channel! It’s better to terraform and clear out areas one by one than clearing the entire island as when you finish a small area, and are proud of it, it pushes you to complete the island while simply clearing everything usually seems to demotivate people haha
idk what do do with this little area next to my shopping district, resident services and river
Some pics of my really natural island 
i would place a couple benches and flowers/stones
working on my entrance hehe
i cant get my island to look good
i always get told its good but i dont like it
what am i doing wrong
I can’t decide what to do for my OWN yard, idk what people do to decorate their homes but it’s hard when it’s ME
Does anyone have any cute plaza themes? Or any tile codes I can use to make it look good?
Please help me design my island! I have no idea what do do with it and I need help. visuals would really help!
I think on the far left side you could do like a cute waterfall section with small flowers and lanterns with a couple benches
And the top far right you could do a stargazing area
Has anybody got any tips for a traditional scottish inn/restaurant?
I had an idea of creating two main dining rooms, a kitchen, a bar, an accomodation room, a games room and a wine/whisky cellar.
Do these ideas sound decent? What other things could I replace my current ideas with?
Just some ideas I had for your island since I don’t have much space in mine for that
Sorry for the bad photo but this is my crescent moon lake🥰
How does this placement look? Idk man, not sure if I want it farther back or not
I would bring it slightly forward and to the right so that way you can decorate on both sides
Hm
But that’s just what I would do!
I mean it does look good but I just feel like it might not have too much space in front of it then though, but I honestly don’t know
It looks like there’s quite a bit of room in front for anything else you have planned
That’s not too bad actually, that seems like a lot of space
Do you have anything else planned for there?
Considering the space on both sides and in the front I think there would be enough space, if not you could move it back onto the grass as well
On the grass there’s gonna be a path through but yeah, I guess
I’m trying to think of a way to make it work for you
Okay actually yeah, it would probably work
You could always decorate with the holes as your marker before to make sure that it works
One step to the left would look good
Okay welp, imma go with this and see how it goes, worst case scenario I can just move it again
That is true, I’m moving all my buildings before I even know what I’m doing with them cause I’m just experimenting
Ye lol, I did all my terraforming first so now I’m just building bridges, inclines, and moving buildings
I just have a rough idea of what I wanna do with everything but it’s really not that thought out
Honestly my island was so trash and now for the past 2 days I’ve been messing around with making it look pretty and I have no clue what I’m doing
Lol yeah same
But yeah I had the normal layout I was given with small changes but everything looked so flat
I’m making my enterance right now and I just spent about 3 hours making a crescent moon lake
My layout was kinda wack and I’m trying to spice it up
I just flattened the entire thing lmao
But yeah I like the crescent moons, didn’t plan it in my island tho
I wanted to do that but with 10 villagers it’s hard lmaooo
I didn’t plan it either but I saw it and it looked so pretty I had to try it and now I’m in love with it
So many things you wanna do but barely 1/3rd of the space you’d need to do all of them 
Exactly and there’s so many ideas and so little space but we all make the best of it
Oh I should probably ask this, but should I go for red zen bridge or regular zen bridge for my bamboo area? (I’m using regular zen bridges for pretty much everything)
Yea
Yes I know there isn’t any bamboo yet but-
I’d say the red zen bridge just to add a pop of colour and try to match some red flowers with it, im doing that in some areas and I think it really pulls everything together
That would look really good
Girl it’s 5:21 am for me-
Bruh
I haven’t slept lmaoooo
S l e e p
I got home from work at 10pm and just haven’t stopped trying to make my island pretty 😂
No❤️
Oof
The struggle is real
And now all that’s left on my island is making paths and decorating, so I should probably TT to summer because literally everything looks good in summer lmao
Unless it’s specifically Christmas themed or something
Yessssss my idea for my island is that everything will look better at night cause I’m hopefully gonna get lanterns and things like that
Ooo
I visit my friends island so often cause I’m trying to find decorations and hers is so much better than mine
Rip
True true
I just realized that I made my entrance to big omgggg now I’m restarting it😂something didn’t look right
Damn that’s also a rip
I mean I have waterfalls on almost every part of my island
I feel like that’s my main theme
I made one for my villagers houses and now I’m obsessed😂
Lmao, my entrance is literally just a cliff with tons of waterfalls, and then there’s tiny ones everywhere
I’ve also been putting stepping stones everywhere so now I have to just jump
Lol yeah, I like stepping stones as well but bridges are usually prettier
So I mostly just have them as decoration, if that makes sense?
I want to get a nice bridges but I just spent all of my money moves in my villagers houses lmao
Yeah that makes sense
Lmao, I’ve lost like 4 mil just moving everything and building stuff
I’ve never even had over a mil lmaoo I spend it all as soon as I get it
On bridges and inclines alone I’ve now spent 2 743 600 hh
eye- omg girl
I mean I did a lot of stock market stuff when that was a really popular way to get bells
Like, ALOT
Ahhhh yeah that makes sense
best boi
I love that omg
Just bought from Daisy Mae and full inventory and got basically a vip exchange place from someone with like 600 bells per turnip prices as long as I split the earnings 50/50 and we did that for quite a bit
I need to do that omg
love the spooky pup!
also got this funny pic of early morning kiki outside of poppy's house
Right now it isn’t as popular so you’ll most likely either find people with subpar prices but asking for a huge entrance fee usually not in bells so you can’t even have a full inventory or you’ll find people with really good prices for free which means really long queues and waiting time
Aaa that’s cute
Yeah that would be what I would expect
Okay how do y’all take screenshots on your switch and put them in discord?
you can send images straight from switch to your smartphone now!
Well you take a screenshot and send it to your phone
I’m just big dumb lmaoooo ty!
But before that we had to live in the stress that is uploading it to Twitter and downloading it on your phone and try to quickly delete them lmaoo
Lmaooooo love that
Oh my god I forgot how bright green summer is my eyes
Lmfaooooo change the time to late afternoon
Eh I need to eat lunch anyway so
True go eattttt
Also I added you as a friend on discord so that way I don’t lose you in the depths of chat😂
Lol epic
what do you think about this little area i made?
That’s so cute omg!
hehe thanks 
i went through so much trouble getting all the wood for all of those stalls

So I’m starting to like this, it just seems a little empty, any advice? Should I throw in some white roses and log stakes?
Maybe not “empty” but something feels off
Don’t mind the petals on the road
White roses would be cute. You could also do leaf or small white flower patterns under the log benches. For campfires I like to do a 2x2 dirt square under them and round the corners to make it a circle for the fire to be on
Goodmorning . I'm new here . Only been playing animal crossing since September. Lots of good idea in here thanks . 
@woven drift I don’t have online so I have to figure out what to do about custom designs lol

Ooh! Well there’s that premade clover patch that may work
I want to add something to the left side, I was thinking a statue but I’m not totally sure, any ideas?
Maybe even an insect model and log stakes? Not sure
Could someone help me? I'm trying out this European style but i feel like it's missing alot but i don't exactly know what it's missing..
I got you
Silos
^^
Let’s say you wanted to make a “harvey spot” on your island, like I never talked to him so he’s never leaving, what would you put in that area?
It's a little house on the beach and i want to make more on it but i just started it
@formal acorn #furniture-trade
I have shep and I feel like they kinda have the same vibe-ish. Sheps yard has a small pond, weeds overgrown, a rocking chair by the pod with a tape deck, a hammock under trees and a log crafting bench
And a dog house next to his house lol
Now I need to make my paths, I kinda want a natural/cottagecore ish island I guess, any ideas on what I should do? Would circle paths look good, and if so, what pathing? Or should I go with custom paths even though their sound is lame and don’t show up on the map and can easily be erased?
Aaaaaa
You could also put a guitar by the rocking chair.
@woven drift Oo I like where you’re going, I wish they had like camera stuff too 🤷♂️
I’m real into this idea. I’ve never heard anyone not talk to him so he doesn’t leave 😂
wish i did that
So no one can help me with paths? ;;
But that isn’t what I was asking for lmao
I’d say custom designs, they always look best
I like the circle dirt paths but with a custom design over it. You can def mix and match a lot with cottage core so best advice I can give is don’t try to make it perfect!
I’m working on a Christmas Island do you have any tips?
So this is what I have so far as my entrance! Which public bench would look best to replace the lecture hall seats? Is there anything else I can add to the visitors center before I move on to the next area?
But then the problem is finding good custom designs to put over lmao-
@quaint pebble I would fix that first set of horizontal lines, it should stop by the curb, but that’s just my opinion
To be completely honest I didn't notice I missed placing the sidewalk there
Whoops haha thanks for pointing it out 🙂
I want to put a public bench I just can't decide on which color
ohhhh
humm, maybe since it's next to the airport maybe a complimentary colour or the same colour?
So the orange-ish/red one or blue?
Oh I’d put a white phone booth there
i guess orange/redish seing there's a lot of red in the area
This is Harvey’s area :3 time to get to work
I'll order one and place it to see what it looks like then! Thanks for the help!
yeye
i'm having problem with my island, it's food themed but i don't know what the path should be? I need some suggestions for food-ey paths, i've thought of using hotdog as a path
but it feels like iffy and probably get odd if it's seen too much?
cakewalk
BADUMTSSSSSSS :DDDDD
you could have like- checkered cookies or round cakes
ORRRR PIZZAAAA
melonnsss
cakewalk 
u like it?
i hate that pun so much but i have to give you a+ for it
ty hehe
can u help me too?
whats up
i want my island to be like- urban/modern but also cozy
i posted a picture of my island a few ago
cant send it again rn cuz im not on the phone but if u could search for it-
the thing is i cant decide what to do... i cant make it look right
this one?
here
yea
what do you mean not look right?
it looks good in that picture
but it doesnt look right in the grandscheme
sceme- shceme
idk
grandscheme? sorry i dont really understand
does it stand out too much?
no
i just cant connect everything
cant connect all of the areas together
and it doesnt have this modern feel it just feels like a spa xd
i want this like- vacation vibe
but i cant work with bridges and inclines and stuff
maybe decoare your picnic area or campsite?
i have that behind the house
thats not the issue though
i dont think you can help me
thanks for listening
@woven drift you could put a little 5 second video of you running around the area to show what’s going on?
I'm stuck terraforming my island, i have a lot of ideas but i can't put them on practice. Any advice? (Sorry for the weird eng)
made a fruit stand and a little fragrance shop/hangout spot by the beach !!
omg 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

what a relaxing view
It looks so moody and relaxing
I’m building a library for Kiki and lolly.... which border should I use? Brick, stone, or nothing?
nothing, i personally dont like how the borders dont match the color of the wood
I agree with none
okie thank you!
Any idea of how to organize my town? The stuff below the line is the finished part and i wanna have on the upper half an orchard for all fruits, a bathhouse and another residential area.
Oh oops its upside down
Hey I restarted and made this but left my island intouched for months because I don’t know how anymore and what to put where 🙈
Maybe you guys can help me give pointers to how my river could be better 🙃
do you guys like the fencing or should i keep it without the fencing?
I think it looks a bit crowded with the fencing right there. Maybe try putting that fencing directly behind the chair and stool your standing next to?? I think it would look cool if you do still want the wooden fencing.
oooo yeah! I think it looks nice there,,
oki! ty
no prob!
My island's got a beach resort vibe and I have no clue what to put in this spot U_U;; y'all got ideas? It's near where all the villager houses are and is surrounded by an orange grove if that helps 
What flowers would go with Harvey? I was thinking yellow mums but now I’m thinking yellow pansies, but I’d like to have 2 types of flowers, should I just do those 2 or are there others that give off Harvey vibe
Maybe yellow lillies?
Whatcha doing with harv exactly?
He has this section on the island, I never talk to him to he’s my secret 11th villager
maybe some white pansies? I think they fit his aesthetic. The yellow lillies and maybe some sort of lighter red flower (like hyacinths?) too for a splash of variety??
Oh so its like you actually have him in town huh
Yea lol he’s on my island forever
Tulips, especially red and yrllow ones fit
Tjo maybe its cuz i think he calls ya tulip in the spanish version of nl 😄
So these choices? The red pansy also has a yellow thin circle too it
I just have to narrow it down to two 🥺
I think I’ll do the yellow red pansy
But I’d like a normal yellow as well 🤔
Yellow mums? Or yellow hyacinths
I avoid yellow-red combos, so I say use the white
For Harvey?
For anything aesthetic. It’s too ketchup mustard for me lol. Even tho Harv has both colors he also has white
Maybe white wildflowers, or white cosmos?
White tulips and mums are off whites like his shirt
The area I've been working on for the past couple of days (still a wip tho, what do you guys think?
For the red I’m thinking red yellow pansies or red cosmos, what white flower would do well with those?
Hyacinths & pansies both give me tropical vibes
Anyone got some bookstore inspo???
Yea that could work
island finally isn’t snowing!! i think this is my favorite area so far on my island
Wow it’s beautiful!
thank you!!
oh my god i love it
oo
Soo good, I need to use more record boxes w my panels 😍
Peninsula
photo of the photo taking a photo
A little farm area
I wish I had a talent in decorating my island, I can't seem to get it good enough
any suggestions on what i can add to my park area? sorry its sideways 🥺
I may take advantage of the height of my house to make a bathhouse castle in the distance, that way i get cool views and space for my bath house!
Also @shadow nymph i would add the garden swing, the cowboy party horse and some blocky bookcases
Nice dino volcano btw
thanks
Does anyone know what this is?
The bamboo picnic basket
Thank you!
my island is cottagecore/fairycore themed! im not sure how they will go in with that theme ):
bamboo lunchbox just customized!
Thanks!
The cowboy party horse is a nice brown so it probably works well, the other two items can be customized so you could get em to work
ty (:
Yw ^^
would having 4 houses above my town hall be too cluttered? if so what should i replace it with?
I bet it will look awesome ^^
Any Ideas of what to do with these rock formations on the top of my island i have 2 of them
My new entrance
I really love the way this looks🥺 what do you plan on doing for both sides of the bridge or where are you putting your inclines? I love this idea
Oh, nice
It’s so cute!! I’m so glad I went back to this style
Hey, I could really use some paths like that
The museum is my favorite part
Very cool!
i tried to use those paths but i was scared off at howmany there were
Oh, so there’s a lot of them? I may have to look past them then
Aw, cute ❤️
thank you 😭 ❤️
No prob! Do you guys know how to get screenshots so I can share my entrance?
yea there’s a good bit but it’s pretty easy to deal with once you understand the directions! you can find many variations by searching dirt path animal crossing
What are those little tins called? People use them as trains and someone told me there’s a hippy van one
Made a little 5×5 outdoor bath area...thing. This turned out better than I thought it would.
Good job!
Day 3 progress bois
I have some train tins if you’re interested @woeful trout
Where did you get that fence?
I’ve never seen it before
Ah I was thinking about pocket vintage camper
the halloween fence?
Oh, dang. I must’ve missed it
Entrance ideas?
A fountain looks pretty good at the entrance I’d imagine
I for one put two houses at each side of the entrance, with plants and an arch going to the plaza
One of the inclines is further from the bridge, the one before the bridge I am not sure yet xD and ty c:
I don't have any ideas: I need to place my 2nd residental area somewhere and my orchard but i don't know where exactly
Why
bruh where's the town hall
i was referring to the image below yours but that works too lol
?
oh they've been posting that in several channels lol
Whoops my message got deleted
<@&494448231036747777>
they're muted too lol
i got it !
Hey does anyone have have any item alternatives for fencing ? Specifically a residential area along a river? Thanks!
Thank you!
Is the Museum 2x7?
You could use cliffs as a fence alternative
log stakes, cliff, simple panels, uh really any 1x1 object used a bunch of times
maybe like a picnic area
What are all the themes you can go with?
im considering resetting my island bc i kinda hate everything ive done but idk if its a bad idea, thoughts from ppl who have reset?
@tired rapids I would restart. There's plenty of free diy islands and ones you can find on ebay.
I've restarted way more than twice
It gets boring once you've built up your island lmao
@tired rapids I didn't reset but I did flatten it so if u want to
hmm true i just dk if im gonna hate going through the tutorial stages of the game again yanno
ive flattened my island once but part of me kinda just wants a completely fresh start not sureee aaaa
Lmao. Yeah they're annoying but so worth it to get the island of your dreams
I hate flattening lmao
It took forever but Im happy with the result of it
Everyones been showing their entrances so heres mine
That looks so cool
yhhh it takes so long and i have so many flowers id have to get rid of and ive messed up some areas with terraforming so bad so idk
Honwstly i got really unmotivated when i started seeing videos and my island paled in comparison
But when i got to work on it i achieved a beautyfall result, still working on it tho
@tired rapids It was the same for me, but I just put on music and did it
I want to make a colorful island but I already have a fairycore which theme should I go with?
Maybe aan urban japanese style?
That sounds fun :-)
🏯I wanna make a castle bathhouse but im lacking in space
I know what you mean. Castles are so pretty. I can never place mine in the right area so it can be seen by airplane lmao
Mines still soooo wip
this is my current entrance but idk how i feel rip
This is the front part but...
I also need some way to make it transition smoothly into the campsite
So cool!!
Is there a tutorial to build this?!
And i feel it would be better if i made it higher by being on the fisrst layer
See my problem is I name my island one thing and then my theme is the total opposite. Lmao
Oof
That's really cool
my island is very pink and cutesy but if i reset i'd wanna make it more natural and woodsy kinda like classic animal crossing vibes if u get me
Looks almost like a circle with the edges taken a little bit at a time
Yes! Im doing the same. Maybe jungle or tropical?
yess i kinda want to go for a forest type of theme
My first 2 villagers are giving me jungle vibes
Lol I just hit reset and don't look back
Had her on my acnl hacked town
omg thats my other issue, i want a completely new set of villagers
Hmm.. good name for a jungle?
My starters were canberra and bombo, love em soooo much
hi!!
Orchydea? Brigid?
Starters are always the sweetest
Oohh Brigid!
Or just go cheesy with "jungle book" hahahaha
Its from and island nation fe 3h
i reset, no regrets
i played animal crossing like 200h but im still have a island with 2 stars can i see your guys island with 5 stars? or can i come visit ❤️❤️
Mines still wip sorry :/
5 stars :-) my fairycore island
+i lack online ;¬;
oh god that soo pretty!!!!! thanks
Thank you ♡♡ I can message you my dream address:-)
@calm dawn I can open my gate if u want me to, I'll just private message the code
Now that i remember i got my island name, safflower, from my 2nd fav ghibli film
Definitely don't want to do another fairy. Lmao
So the eural japab aesthetic just fits
what it mean dream adress??
Nice!
When you lay down in bed or you camping cot and it says *do you want to sleep?" Sleep
And then you can type in a dream address :-)
Welcome to the luna land ♡
ohhh i going try!!
I feel tht if i remove the trees the castle may look good in daylight
Might need to iluminaate aa bit
I definetly love the paper japanese lanterns
But i still need soop much japanes stuff,
But i need the shiisha statues, the japanese graves for a yokai cementery, brown or blaxk bordered screens, the kabuki kimono...
Ill have to get nookazon eventually
Lets hope the prices arent enormous ;^^
Ohhh thanks a lot!
Rosie im in my dream you can send me your dream adress?
Ahhh im at the naming part. Ugh I stink. My first is callisto and 2nd is starry bay
Okay :-)
Give me 2 seconds i can't remember let me load in
these are some areas from my current 5 star island, not sure whether to reset and go for a more foresty island, what do u guys think?
Omg Kelsey that's adorable
Very well-designed island
heyyy
thank u so much aaa, i just dk what to do 😭
I’d say keep it. It’s beautiful
Ooh remembered how well my market looks in black and white!
awh thank u 🥺 i don’t think i can bring myself to reset tbh, and i still have a ton more to do so imma just keep it
Would you be interested in trading? @tired rapids
Nice Café!
Thanks
Cant stop taking pics at my market zone seriously, im so proud of it!
How did you get black and white?
On your phone?
Nope, in the camera mode
Ah, I forgot there were filters
@glacial crest you’re kinda strange
Why would you say that?
It seems a tad mean
Oh sorry then ;((
I’m just hanging out, looking at nice places, and trying to find people who will trade with me
Nice!
Here’s my entrance and my villager
@glacial crest looks very cool
Thanks!
So nobody knows how to approach making the thingy? >_<
@timber zenith you mean one of these?
I've started terraforming my cliffs! It's going well so far 🤞
Ooh, can ya give it a custom design?
I can check it out give me a sec!
hey sorry just saw this!! what is it u want to trade?
I just wanna see what furnitures you have that could fit my aesthetic
I could also help you with some forestry things like you said you wanted
hmmm what aesthetic is it ur looking for
I really need to have this on a flag to signal the future rice fields and because its a reference to a movie
I posted a pic above earlier. I’m looking for things such as decorative stones, antique wooden or metal furniture, plants, such things like that.
Would it be alright if I added you to streamline this process?
yeah sure, i’m not on my switch rn but i’ll have a look when i’m online later what i have that u may want
Alrighty, that sounds good
@timber zenith I just checked you sadly can’t customize the flag ;((
Awwww
I have things like leaf piles and standees if you’d like those
Thx anyways
All good
Anyone need a grey pool?
Also @vivid swan, I see you have a more traditional-styled island. It’s a very interesting style
Thanks! Im really working hard on it!
If omly i had more diy luck i would make it faster tho
Any ideas how I could fill in this area? The curved back wall is making it really difficult, the bottom brick area is a storage area for nooks cranny
That and drifting while terraforming wich is a nightmare
Would it be okay if we could visit each other later for cataloging and trading? That’s the exact stuff I could use on my own island
@timber zenith drift is such a pain I just got mine repaired and they’re starting to drift again
Hmmm i still have to get online but ill give you a shout when i get it
Also just noticed your gundham profile pic
@timber zenith I just noticed the hot guy in your pfp
@glacial crest Yesss pls add me haha
@timber zenith this thing. Is there a tutorial on it or a name for it? I rly wanna make it
I did a similar thing, but couldn’t get it to work
Just expensive
You just need waterscaping
12 tiles wide i think
I think my mistake was making the river first 😅
Oh, you mean like copy it directly?
Yeah i want the same layout it looks nice
And for height is 10 i think
He’s right, it is 12 tiles in diameter
Ohhhh. The river or land?
height and width should be the same, since circle :)
It’s actually the same height, yeah
Land
Yw ^^
Im gonna put it to the right of the plaza i think
I found a tutorial lmao
For the exact shape. Oof.
On another topic if ya wanna finish your house fast for decorating it fully (and storage cuz we all know terraforming fills your poclets) definetly try pumpkins
Yup, if ya grow lots of em tjey can be a quick buck
Same why pumpkins?
Which of these tables and chairs look best for this area? I'm leaning more toward the pure iron ones
@timber zenith I still don’t understand
I like the yellow chairs, believe it or not. They add color to the pathway.
They are worth more than fruits and they can also grow in stacks of 3
Hmm, I’ll have to get my hands on some pumpkin seeds!
@misty anvil left
Oh, heck
And simce tjey añre usually geon close to each other its easier than searchin for fruit trees everywherw
did you struggle there @timber zenith ?
Possibly
take your time
@misty anvil left bc lighter color. If you want iron id customize to be lighter bc it contrasts and we can see it better. Either way i like it, clever look w the trees. It reminds me of my childhood summers when id go to the mall in fl lol
im late but the yellow chairs def since the black one blends too much with the fence
I haven’t even payed of my second debt
Yeah yellows best
I should ask for advice here too, it seems very helpful
I used the kids tent for a dwarf/hobbit home!
@woven drift left chairs it is ^^
Tysm :)
Ah, nice mushrooms!
Sure thing
@woven drift go on :)))
I don’t see anything unusual with it
I think it looks good so far
panel?
OH, i plan to get it yeah
the only problem I see is that your dock has to be horizontal because if its vertical you won't be able to see the panels design
Very nice! Very creative
if you have it vertical you can't see any design if you're planning to make some ship
