How to fix this mess of a neighborhood

[woven drift]

What are you doing with your tees on your island? Bc everywhere are trees standing around and I don’t know how to arrange them nice

[nova smelt]

Need help on advice for decorating the yard of this house since it is a bit vibrant in colors, don't want it to look bad or anything

[spiral token]

It’s not much but I finally finished my campsite area!!!

[woven drift]

its not that much tbh lmk if i should add things

[zenith idol]

looks p cute tbh! my favorite is the hot spring area

[plucky bramble]

It looks nice!
You can also take screenshots and videos in game without needing a capture card, up to 100 videos and 1000 screenshots (unless you have an SD card). You just press the little black box on I think the left joy con ? Hope this helps!

[iron jay]

To pop bright yellow and red! To blend dark green and brown.

[iron jay]

Make it 100% symmetrical then bring that top high wall of water over to flow straight down through the center like a neighborhood river walk.

[near bane]

hello im not very creative, so i wanted to ask for opinions on this map i made for what i want my island to look like

[final girder]

May I ask what website this is

[woven drift]

I've heard of it before, forgot the name

[near bane]

happy island designer

[woven drift]

There you go

Also this leads to my secret beach
Any suggestions or comments?
Seeing if I could make it look better

[glossy crater]

Can I join u guys play online?

Im new here

I was hoping u guys can teach me

[slow elk]

Fishing Area, Looks cool right?

[void venture]

Yeah it looks good!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a city themed river?

[void venture]

The whole island full of canals?

Thanks

[hazy raven]

Before (top), After (bottom) of the front of my RS!

My apothecary/plant shop

[woven drift]

I think im bout to steal

[hazy raven]

Go ahead lol

[wide oyster]

Is this where I can ask for help/ questions on what to do with my island lol

[hazy raven]

Yes

[wide oyster]

alright great!

so I’m just starting to make a little marketplace and I need ideas to make my marketplace look more in depth and better lol

my island is Japan themed

[hazy raven]

I found this video! Maybe it will help. I would say just start adding a bunch of items. Utility poles, street lamps in-between here and there.

Also the neon light sign is a good item to squeeze in there

[wide oyster]

@hazy raven thank you! I was also debating on adding a layer that’s higher behind it but I’m not sure how it would look and what to put there

ahhh true I’ll definitely get one !

[hazy raven]

Oops did the link I add work?

https://youtu.be/L9QzqOetI7M

[wide oyster]

thank you so much!

[hazy raven]

Yw!

[nova smelt]

Need help on advice for decorating the yard of this house since it is a bit vibrant in colors, don't want it to look bad or anything
https://dodo.ac/np/images/5/55/House_of_Poncho_NH_Model.png

Jock :)

Also note I'd like it to be in a forested setting

Since that is important for furniture choices

[hazy raven]

Ayyye I got poncho!

I used that clay pot and changed the colors to white/blue. Looks good in front of his house. I also have a somewhat forest theme

[nova smelt]

Ooh perhaps, I thought about adding some fitness type items -- like exercise ball, barbell, basketball, bike, etc but not too overwhelming haha

Knighty.nite do you have a picture? o:

[hazy raven]

Yeah one sec.

Meh my Poncho's yard needs an update ..lol

I decorated it in my early days shiver

[nova smelt]

Oh those days I cringe on too haha

[hazy raven]

Ok it's probably not helpful. You brought my attention to Poncho's yard haha. But here ya go

I think the pot goes nicely with it tho :)

[nova smelt]

tbh that's not that bad for being "the early days" haha

[hazy raven]

Thanks xP

Maybe a clothesline?

The one with the blue poles.

[nova smelt]

Oh yeah a clothesline would work I bet

[woven drift]

Any suggestions on this?
Leads to my secret beach
Idk what to change

[nova smelt]

Maybe some log furniture to make it seem woodsy

[woven drift]

Any terraforming IDEAS? 😭😭

But like I'm going for a zen theme ;-;

[nova smelt]

zen theme? Have you done a bamboo forest maybe with a stone path throughout and lots of bamboo items, maybe some of the outdoor fountain thing items?

[hazy raven]

@woven drift look on Pinterest my friend

[nova smelt]

^Yup they are right here is something I found within 5 seconds
https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4c/74/38/4c7438fb99c51b55c4c2a24972550f0f.jpg

No problem, and here is a zen garden too
https://i.pinimg.com/564x/18/fb/f9/18fbf9ba18d3a84765dfb71cd65b3ca4.jpg

You could also do a rock garden

[woven drift]

Dayum just dm pictures thenn

[nova smelt]

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/15/7e/9c/157e9cfa96cbae2cdc3f40bdb00e732c.jpg

[woven drift]

How do I do that?

[nova smelt]

Oh there are lots lol

You put mannequins everywhere and break your rocks until they spawn where you want them to

[woven drift]

Ouhhhhh

[nova smelt]

There are guides on youtube

[stable dragon]

I made this area a market place (nooks on the right), I thought it'd be funny to place all the nursery bell trees together

[boreal flower]

Im afraid some wont grow because of that

[stable dragon]

yep it is done on purpose haha

[boreal flower]

Aah okay then nvm xx

[nova smelt]

What kind of items would look best on the garden stands?
https://cdn.nookazon.com/nookazon/FtrIcon/FtrHarvestStand_Remake_0_0.png

[nova smelt]

Those look great :) I hope ac releases some of the og items soon :/ like maybe for the year anniversary. I've played since gamecube and miss so many items!

Those will be interesting to see! The graphics are amazing for all the items so I just hope more will come in the future that aren't only holiday themed :)

[onyx vault]

Mhm, I know! I sometimes run out of space but I I delete a lot of images lol

[wicked orbit]

Think im going for spread out houses this time maybe with a small ish neighbourhood over a few tiers

[mild brook]

Should I waste so much bells to move basically every single building on the island?

Iv got gud ideas

Basically a rlly neat village district, then my house at the back of the island and also elevated

[flat dirge]

@clever pasture Here 🙂

[clever pasture]

What do people do with that little circle rock Island part that looks out to the ocean?

[flat dirge]

I just used some custom designs on mine

[clever pasture]

Pic?

[gritty notch]

The answer is always yes! Always waste your bells. More bells can be had with turnips!!

[mild brook]

Fair

Lmao waste

[gritty notch]

What's funny about waste xD

[brisk schooner]

@hazy raven just wondering, what are those creme puff things on the table? Jelly donuts? Where can I get those?

[hazy raven]

Those are from the new year event. It will be in the seasonal online order thingy.

[west olive]

Berliner

[hazy raven]

It'll be available after toy day(?), And you have until 12/31 to order it.

Yes, thank you

@brisk schooner

[forest quest]

[ember badge]

[worthy bison]

I relocated my house based on my new island layout!~ :))

[forest quest]

are you gonna be getting some decoration for the terraforming? if not i can simply recommend a mini waterfall and some flowers

[robust briar]

Try to make a outside patio/coffee shop are any ideas ?

[uncut spoke]

I can relate xd

[forest snow]

I'm drawing a blank bc I got a whole new level of open space. The left side of the island is a forest neighbourhood and the top right corner will be another. Could someone find some shop / museum inspiration for a cozy island community vibe?

[worthy bison]

@forest snow (not mine btw)

Does anyone have any ideas on what else I could do/ add?

Could be anything. (Landscaping, areas, places etc)

[idle shadow]

those custom paths are so pretty!

[worthy bison]

so pretty! :' )

I also might try to change my houses layouts to one of these, but idk what LOL

I use https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/

[cold patrol]

u should do 2 or one of the natural river ones!!

[worthy bison]

[cold patrol]

i like the second picture on the top and the ones with rivers on the bottom but that’s just me

[worthy bison]

[fierce snow]

Before & after

[hot pollen]

Does anyone have an idea what i can do with this piece of land?

[fair birch]

What's your theme?

[worthy bison]

maybe a little garden, concert space, mini market with stalls etc

[idle shadow]

maybe like a statue in the middle with flowers/bug models surrounding, or a picnic/stargazing area might be cute

[hot pollen]

Cottagecore

[fair birch]

Maybe you could do a little picnic with a garden, or maybe a little fishing area

[idle shadow]

u could also put a villager house there and they could have a decent yard shape

[hot pollen]

Thank you all, i think i have an idea now😋

[fair birch]

[remote mauve]

do you have a theme in mind?

[worthy bison]

not really- I'd love one, but It's so hard to choose :' )

[idle shadow]

a theme is helpful tbh to decide what furniture to use and such

but yeah I get how it’s difficult to choose

[worthy bison]

super pretty!~

[woven drift]

@inland furnace that's a good idea

[hexed bear]

Wouldn't people try to steal them?

[hexed bear]

nope visitors can’t pick up bells

wait nvm

[woven drift]

Really

[hexed bear]

that’s just if they’re in ur house

[woven drift]

They can

Yea

[bleak wind]

Visitors can pick up bells, yeah

[woven drift]

Maybe only put 1,000?

[gilded bane]

or 10

[fierce snow]

Then it’s not a bag

[gilded bane]

o

[fierce snow]

Ty 😊

[fierce snow]

But like whose island is so beautiful!!! 😍😍😍😍

[bleak wind]

Yours every single day!

[hexed bear]

what should i do with this area? 🥲

[quasi mesa]

[gilded bane]

put monster footprints

[bleak wind]

@fierce snow, stop trying to kill me pls thanks

[lethal thunder]

im about to destroy the skating rink on my island and replace it with a little farmers market!

[fierce snow]

@bleak wind are u even friends if u don’t hit each other with the net

[gilded bane]

can you make buildings in acnh

[bleak wind]

Are you even living life?

[neat gyro]

I'm at least proud of my museum display

[gilded bane]

how are u getting pictures without take pics of ur screen

[neat gyro]

Oh smart phone screen share

They added it like 2 updates ago

I can take a screenshot and send it directly to my phone

[gilded bane]

ok

[reef solar]

How did y'all incorporate the secret beach to your island's designs? I'm struggling

[gritty notch]

My island design is kinda loose, I made mine a "black market" using the rebel gnomes, pirate barrels, and small valuable things kinda stacked up haphazardly. My friend has a better one lol

[wheat siren]

you just need to use the landscape tool to dig up the ground on the side of your island that you cant see then u decorate it

[bleak wind]

Taking photos through the in-game camera and then uploading them here

[gritty notch]

You can make optical illusions of buildings and boats and castles, yeah! It's hard to pull off but if you search "how to make a castle in ACNH" on youtube there's tutorials that will give you a good idea what items people use to make them!

[bleak wind]

This is how I've done mine, if that helps?

[reef solar]

That looks good!

[gritty notch]

Take out the unbloomed flowers, put a tree, bushes, a bench or a table and chairs, a streetlight, and maybe a telephone booth? Could do a bit of scattered paving?

[fierce snow]

Sahara near my secret beach

[hexed bear]

thank you 😁

[bleak wind]

Hi Saharah

[gritty notch]

Okay, lemme say that firstly you're not trash. You just may be a really visual person like ME who can't see something as nice before it's finished. Don't worry about "messing up" because everything you do can be undone. If it's not fun, don't do it, but don't avoid it because you're afraid you're gonna fail or something!
You can do it! Just try something, put it down, and if you hate it, dig it up and try something else =3

If you need inspiration, look for it, but don't be like "I could never do that/I suck" because you'll never even try or get better at it through trying!

YOU 👏 CAN 👏 DO 👏 IT 👏

[bronze tusk]

ty man

i usually just copy things i see off of youtube and other things cos i cant make things like that

[gritty notch]

✨🔥🔥🔥✨

Tbh, you learn things by coping tho!

Even if you do it exactly the same, you are learning the mechanics. There's nothing wrong with learning that way!

And technically, if you're copying, YOU are the one making it, but it wasn't your idea alone.

[gritty notch]

Of course! 🥰

Dang this reply feature is lit

[silver harness]

what flowers do i put here beside Flurry's house?
(also sorry i couldnt get a better quality photo haha. i ran out of switch storage)

was thinking white hyacinths or mums

[hexed bear]

white and blue hyacinths would be cute : D

okay so i definitely want a pumpkin patch/ garden but idk where to put it, which placement would be better out of the two circled spots on the map?

i wouldnt take all that space but just to narrow it down

[gritty notch]

Maybe on the left? =0

[olive sparrow]

I just got terraforming so I cant really do any thing yet and I only have water scaping.

[grizzled turret]

hey, just reset and wanted opinions on which island I should do, or relog for new ones?

[olive sparrow]

the top right because the resident services is far

i mean left

[slow pawn]

when can i do terraforming

[hexed bear]

agreed

[grizzled turret]

@slow pawn when kk has played at your island i think

[hexed bear]

i’ve heard having two south rivers are a pain too

[olive sparrow]

when you get three stars

[slow pawn]

@grizzled turret ok

@grizzled turret thx

[grizzled turret]

oh shit yeah, thats one of the reasons i wanted to reset in the first place. thanks @hexed bear

[hexed bear]

thank u 😌😌

no problem :-))

[fallen rover]

How do I get 5 start with out terraforming

[slow pawn]

what do you do with the 5 stars

[hexed bear]

a lot of furniture and flowers , pathing and and fencing

i think im not sure

[slow pawn]

im new to the game i started last saturday

[olive sparrow]

and no items laying around

[ivory ermine]

Flex to your friends about 5 stars

[bleak wind]

Honestly, it's more of a flex than anything else really

[fallen rover]

I want kk to come to my island

But I need 5 stars

[hexed bear]

you only need 3

and to speed it up you can just place random furniture and flowers then take it all down when u reach 3 stars

[fallen rover]

I don’t have money to move villagers housing and place bridges

[hexed bear]

they let you place the first bridge for free i think

[gritty notch]

Place ramps and bridges, pick up any loose items on the ground/tables outside, and place items! Decor is a huge part, you need to place something like 200 pieces of furniture or something. You never have to use the water or cliff editing, or even use the paving. it's optional.

[fallen rover]

Yes but I need stars now I have 1

[gritty notch]

Soooo save money

[fallen rover]

It’s kinda hard to get cash

I am still paying my 300k for my house

[hexed bear]

sell weeds and fish/bugs

[ivory ermine]

Tbh just watering my flowers and placing a bunch of fossils everywhere worked for me

[hexed bear]

also fruit

[fallen rover]

My trees are growing

[hexed bear]

you should already have fruit trees

[fallen rover]

I need the fruit back I harvest

[ivory ermine]

Also you can place bugs & fish & creatures too as "furniture". My friend just placed a bunch of sharks everywhere

[gritty notch]

Maybe in the first few days, but you can fish, sell fossils you don't need in the museum, catch bugs, sell fruit (especially foreign fruit), seashells, and hang around with your villagers who will give you free stuff sometimes. Go to NMT islands and get materials and make the things the shop is paying extra for that day!

[hexed bear]

you can also go to #game-help-questions❓ for more detailed help

[slow pawn]

How do you check how much stars you have

[gritty notch]

Right.

[gritty notch]

Talk to Isabelle about island ratings

[gray pawn]

Check with Isabelle when you upgrade Resident Services

[slow pawn]

@gritty notch I don’t have her yet I’m new to the game I started last week

[gritty notch]

Oh yeah it's gotta be upgraded first. Don't worry about ratings then!

[slow pawn]

@gritty notch ok

[gray pawn]

Yeah

:>

[gritty notch]

If you're just starting out, enjoy the game xD don't worry about ratings or any of that! Just enjoy your time 🥰

[slow pawn]

👍

😊

[gritty notch]

Honestly, my 5 star rating happened as I developed my island and when I checked with isabelle one day, BOOM it had just happened without me really trying. That's after 400 hours of playtime, but I enjoyed the fun! Now I've stripped my entire island and I'm building it up again. Back down to 3 stars but I'm enjoying it!

[cinder wind]

My secret pirate beach

[gritty notch]

Star rating doesn't really matter after KK comes. You still get villagers visiting, your residents still love you, and most importantly you have to be happy with what you create =3

[cinder wind]

I see Redd as a pirate haha

[gritty notch]

Oooo prettyy

I like the fashion show runway

[gritty notch]

Yaaaas that's so nice!!

I also see Redd as a pirate xD

[fierce snow]

Ty 🙂

[woven drift]

Could anybody send me some cottage core island inspo :)

[bleak wind]

Sell fish, bugs, fruit, diy items you craft, etc. No one is a millionaire when they start, it takes time

[faint snow]

My new house area!💕

[fierce snow]

The colors!! Omg amazing!

[cold radish]

Sup y’all I’m kinda lonely and I wanted to know if you guys wanna join!

[fierce snow]

#690093605821480980 pls

[cold radish]

Oh yeah oops

[chrome socket]

What do you rate my entrance and my town square

[faint snow]

Thank you!!:)

[blissful schooner]

is there a better arch for this area or does this work?? i can’t find anything that fits

[fierce snow]

I like it

[blissful schooner]

ty! i think it works it’s hard to fake a doorway

[woven drift]

I finished my secret beach
What do you guys think of it?

Ty :)

[fierce snow]

I especially love the design of the coins 🙂

[woven drift]

Yea it was a custom design I got

The wanted sign is a reference to redd since he drops by the secret beach sometimes

[wide oyster]

thank you to whoever gave me ideas yesterday lol it helped so much 🙂

I have a lot to go but my Japanese market is getting there ! I plan on adding a picnic area and a library behind the filled in areas of the market, the picnic area being on the beach side and the library being on the inside

thank you hehe !

I can’t wait to finish it lol I started last night and it’s taken a lot and I have so much to go

[hardy willow]

Looks great!

Might I suggest some lanterns to brighten it up at night

[woven drift]

Probably yeah but BE CAREFUL im pretty sure that can mess stuff up like prices/clothing that mable is setting etc i think

[last slate]

So I’m going with a Nordic/Norse/Viking theme for my new island. I’ve saved a lot of what I will be using and will soon sell what I don’t need for bells and NMTs. What I can’t decide is whether to go with a modern interpretation or go full Viking. Log cabins and cool merchandise- or full fortresses and longships? I feel like the former would be easier to work with.

[foggy tangle]

hi

ya

[woven drift]

your profile pic is SO cool dude!!!!!!

[foggy tangle]

how to by turnips

??

[blissful schooner]

former would be easier but latter is cooler. i’m doing full historical with the only exception being like music players and stuff that are electronic

[foggy tangle]

oh

sorry

[blissful schooner]

so cute!! you’re making me want spring so bad

[flint obsidian]

What should I do with this spot

[last slate]

What historical period/culture?

[last slate]

Rock garden or pond maybe?

[blissful schooner]

So it’s essentially a magic cult island but the architecture is based off of medieval eastern europe/byzantine

[last slate]

Yo I’m down for that! I’ll have to check it out.

[blissful schooner]

hard to pull off making the castle not look generic though but i’m trying my best to add flavor

someday when i’m more done i’ll post a DA... someday

[last slate]

So just like Merlin and European High Magick and that sort of stuff.

I mean the outfits and stuff would match that really well too.

[blissful schooner]

somewhat yeah

but also there’s weird mutant plants and potentially?? alien invaders i’m having fun lol

[unreal rose]

hey all! im having trouble deciding on how to lay out my island. i know what i want but im not sure how to make it connect and flow, any advice?

[blissful schooner]

Posts like this are tricky because idk what your theme or colors are or what kind of things you already have :/

[last slate]

I gtg but I hope we keep in touch. Channel your inner nerd my dude!

[blissful schooner]

Sure! I’m here a lot on this channel

am scared of acnh chat and general so i stick to here and media mostly

[hardy willow]

I've recently fallen into a "bardcore" rabbit hole bc of the yt algorithm. Please tell me your island tune is something fun @blissful schooner

[blissful schooner]

oh my god what did you make me look up this is amazing, and it’s just a little tune i wrote

[hardy willow]

You hadn't discovered bardcore yet?? You're welcome

[blissful schooner]

I haven’t but this is amazing AHAH

[last basin]

Not mine but was too amazing not to share :) people are soo damn talented

[bronze tusk]

wat is bardcore

[hardy willow]

It's not actually acnh related.

[bronze tusk]

o

[gilded bane]

when its fenished you put up lanterns and invite a bunch of people and have a festival

[blissful schooner]

i thought that was hacked at first

how’d they do the back though

[boreal flower]

Turn around camera

[blissful schooner]

is the wall simple panels??

crazy what people can do

[wet mural]

Idk if this is where to ask, but does anyone have cottage core/woodland yard ideas for these villagers?

[blissful schooner]

nvm i’m dumb i figured it out

[jaunty flame]

i like the simple stone path

[wide oyster]

@gilded bane oouuu I’ll definitely do that! I’m already placing alot of cherry blossom viewing lanterns and bright colorful objects so the area glows at night

[wet mural]

Oo yes gorgeous, thank you! @woven drift

[gilded bane]

cool i wanna see when your done it already looks amaizing

[wide oyster]

@wet mural for apples yard I recommend getting fruit chairs and tables ! It looks sooo cute , add a lot of flowers and look up what her favorite colors are so you can base her yard off of that 🙂

[wet mural]

Oo yes smart, thank you!!

[wide oyster]

@wet mural no problem!

[boreal flower]

No its not, go into your house and go into camera mode. Play around abit and you will see what i mean

[blissful schooner]

Ah okay

[bronze tusk]

idk what theme to do for my island

it’s called eventide island

[gaunt light]

I know this does not help but I'm going with Fairycore

[bronze tusk]

that’s too high skilled for me lmao

that’s what i want to kind of do but i’m not good at it

i’ll show u what i managed to do

[gaunt light]

Ooh!

[bronze tusk]

i don’t like it

[gaunt light]

You're doing a great job!

[bronze tusk]

i’ve done that bit which is ok but now i have no clue what to do

[fathom current]

you gotta keep going it looks really nice actually

[bronze tusk]

i want to i just don’t know what to make

[gaunt light]

If you look up the theme you want to go with on pinterest then you should find some good inspo for some builds.

[bronze tusk]

i don’t really even have a theme. i’m just making a town

i want a theme but they’re all so complex

[gaunt light]

hmm

[hard flare]

I’ve tried looking on search engines, YouTube, and Pinterest but can’t find anything too helpful. Send me your flower garden inspiration!! Most of what I find are hybrid breeding layouts

[bronze tusk]

that’s the same with me

i searched up how to make a flower garden and it just told me how to breed flowers

[gaunt light]

ill try to find some inspo

[bronze tusk]

i sort of want to make a european town

[gaunt light]

alright 🙂 I'll look

[bronze tusk]

tysm

i’ll send the only thing i’m proud of lol

[median oar]

i’m making a european town too

[gaunt light]

AWEE that's adorable!

[bronze tusk]

i want to but i’ll prob fail haha

[gaunt light]

Idk if this is what you want but i thought it was cute.

[bronze tusk]

i like that it’s just i always copy things i see

plus idk how to get half those items

[gaunt light]

The book's and paper are customised i think

[median oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ4G6M4EY-k&t=30s here’s a european island you can use for inspo 🙂

[bronze tusk]

canal town

that’s what i wanted to do

[median oar]

same

that’s the exact video i’m using for inspo

[bronze tusk]

i just don’t know how to get the right items

or diys

[gaunt light]

its difficult but here's some more :))

[bronze tusk]

i’ll have a look for some stuff

[gaunt light]

yeah

[woven drift]

Here's my island, you could call it European

[bronze tusk]

https://youtu.be/o8S47OLfeeM

this is what i wanted to do

[gaunt light]

AWE its so cute 💗

[bronze tusk]

idk how the hell u do that

[woven drift]

Tysm!

[woven drift]

Haha, I used a lot of stuff i already had and a lot of diys, i only had like 10,000 bells so don't feel like you have to waste a lot of money on it.

also remember to use lots of trees and bushes, it makes a huge difference c:

[bronze tusk]

leif never visits so i can’t get any bushes

[gaunt light]

Leif visited me yesterday

[bronze tusk]

leif hasn’t visited me this month at all yet

[gaunt light]

oh wow

[woven drift]

Yeah he visits when a shrub goes out of season I believe, so you cloud have missed the day?

[bronze tusk]

what if i tt

[gaunt light]

next time he visit's im going to buy a bunch of bushes cause he doesn't visit very often

[gaunt light]

Idk if it would work but you can try

[summer gyro]

Is this spooky enough by itself or should i grow weeds in the area to add a dated/abandoned look?

[woven drift]

that image looks like

spunch bob but in a scary way

[gaunt light]

weeds will bring you're rating down, so maybe you can put leaf path?

[blissful schooner]

I’d love to do illusion cities like that but it’s had to design

[hexed bear]

NOT SPUNCH BOB

[woven drift]

Spunch

[scenic blaze]

weeds don't bring rating down in this game

they used to in the older games!

[woven drift]

SWAG

[gaunt light]

oh I didn't know that i apoligize i just got the game not too long ago so i didn't know

[hexed bear]

damn they all up on spunch bob shit

[woven drift]

ah hell nah they all up on spunch bob shit

[scenic blaze]

no need to apologize! just lettin ya know!

[summer gyro]

spunch bob? is that a youtuber or something?

[gaunt light]

Thank you!

[hexed bear]

does anybody have any areas with the iced theme furniture? don’t kno how to put them to use before the season ends

[woven drift]

Squimward soucnhbob and pattark

[hexed bear]

LMAOOOOOOO

[hexed bear]

🥲

[gritty notch]

Ohhh I do! Lemme take some of pics

Going to try this image transfer thing

[warped trellis]

so, i've heard people say "flattening [their] island" before when it comes to terraforming... i'm assuming this means flattening all cliffs and removing all rivers? i haven't unlocked the tool yet but i'm working on planning my island in advance, and i've seen a few people say that phrase

[hexed bear]

oooh yeah people do that but for me that was like the biggest mistake which led me to restart my whole game cause i was frustrated

if you are a really creative person and feel like u can build it ground up u should do it

[gritty notch]

Yes, that's what they mean. It's basically starting over without actually resetting the island and completely flattening the terrain. Although I did not do this, many people do because the layout does not suit their ambitions. What I did is I just terraformed around what I already had and changed some things but I did not start completely over. I find it very difficult and time consuming to flatten all the land when I'm just going to build it up again lol

[warped trellis]

lol, fair enough! i have a pretty good island set up already, so i really just need to connect some cliffs (i have two itty bitty level 3 pieces of land that are too small to build stuff on) and perhaps shorten some... maybe move some ponds

i'll share a screenshot of my island planner once i have everything planned out :D

[jagged bone]

I need help with my island

Like layout changes and stuff because my island looks kinda bad

Do you want me to send a picture of my map so you can see?

[warped trellis]

Here's my current layout! The rivers on the cliffs are like. Hella inconvenient. So I'm probably going to remove those, connect those level 3 land pieces, and shrink the level 2 a bit

Yeah it's a b*tch to navigate

[scenic blaze]

We had the same starter map 🥺

[formal sapphire]

@woven drift my name is Brooke! haha

[real tapir]

I feel like it’s just the houses? You’re map looks good!

[scenic blaze]

Mine looks like this now tho

[formal sapphire]

So this is my current island layout that I want to change

[jagged bone]

WHAT?!

[warped trellis]

yo lets goooooooo

[formal sapphire]

I dug some stuff up...it looks horrible rn

[warped trellis]

damn that glow up though

[formal sapphire]

@scenic blaze wow!!! Good job!

...but I have some ideas and I don't know how to make them work. After I found out you can't move the residents center, one of my layout ideas is kinda useless. But here:

[gritty notch]

@hexed bear

[hexed bear]

whoa... i’m in awe it looks so like .. nice

[jagged bone]

This is probably off topic, but I payed my last loan!

This is exciting for me

[hexed bear]

congrats! 😏

finally free from the capitalist raccoon

[jagged bone]

Yup

[formal sapphire]

I feel like this looks super bad

I honestly dont have any good ideas. Could someone help me?

[hexed bear]

jesus ...

[formal sapphire]

would someone that is an expert PM me?

[jagged bone]

I also payed that

[hexed bear]

i haven’t checked that cause i still have storage

[jagged bone]

I’m broke rn

[hexed bear]

i had millions because of the glitches back when the game jus came out

but i’m slowly going broke 🥲🥲🥲

[formal sapphire]

Can anyone help me?

[hexed bear]

can u dm me ur DA? i’d love to see it!!!

[formal sapphire]

me?

oh wait nvm

[scenic blaze]

i think this is a really nice start! i'd focus on rivers and your entrance from the airport next. you can't move your river mouths or your airport/res services so it makes sense to start with them and work around them!

[scenic blaze]

it's on the picture of my map! feel free to visit

[jagged bone]

@scenic blaze I’m going to ur island via dream

[formal sapphire]

yeah, I'm sad though because I had this one I was in love with and was going to base the whole thing around it, but it's useless because I can't move around the RC or airport

[jagged bone]

I want to see how cool it is

[scenic blaze]

can you post the thing you liked?

[jagged bone]

Sure!

[formal sapphire]

oh I didnt know that. Thank you for telling me that!

ok, let me find the layout in my documents...brb

[fathom current]

oh m ygod

[formal sapphire]

my island name is "SunsetCity" so I wanted to theme it

[scenic blaze]

that's so pretty!

[formal sapphire]

thank you...I'm sad

[fathom current]

how do you get inside

[scenic blaze]

i think it could still work if you're okay with res services being on the side and something else being in the middle. maybe a city center?

[formal sapphire]

pft I didnt think about that

[fathom current]

LOL

im like wait a minute

[formal sapphire]

okay...what should I put inside next to the town center?

i wanted to do one of the shops...but which one?

Because I definitely want to put the museam on a hill

[fathom current]

i think if u like reversed the cliffs it would be awesome

[scenic blaze]

maybe nooks since having it in the center would be really nice to get to easily!

[formal sapphire]

museum*

yeah, thats true

Abel Sisters isn't a necessity for the most part

what do you think I should change about the stream surrounding the residents center?

[jagged bone]

Mothra your island is AMAZING

[formal sapphire]

ikr!?

[elder lion]

ooo

i wanna make a custom island layout but like idk how to transfer it into game ;w;

[marsh cosmos]

Does anyone have a city theme with some forestry areas island map they can show me

[formal sapphire]

@fathom current what do you mean by reversing the cliffs?

[woven drift]

Spingbing enspired map when

[formal sapphire]

@fathom current nevermind, I see what you mean...if the water flows out, it wouldlook nicer

[jagged bone]

This is in front of Rudy’s house btw

[hexed bear]

whoaaa i love the tropical feel :0

[scenic blaze]

i'm so glad you're having fun!!

[fathom current]

oh i meant like

[jagged bone]

Ikr

[fathom current]

you know how the dark grass is the high cliff

switch it

[reef solar]

Can y'all send pics on how you incorporated your own house into the island design?

[hexed bear]

mothra im bout visit ur island rn

[formal sapphire]

OH AHAHAH makes sense

[jagged bone]

Mothra how many times how you’ve gotten 5 stars?! I’ve seen way too many lily of the valleys!

[scenic blaze]

lol it was 5 stars for a long time but it's 4 stars now. too many trees

[formal sapphire]

@scenic blaze would you maybe send me your AC friend code?

[jagged bone]

Oh

[formal sapphire]

too many trees? bafooey. As long as you like the look of your island, who cares about what the games' AI thinks of it 🙂

[scenic blaze]

isabelle's rating system is

[formal sapphire]

fr

[scenic blaze]

and sorry, i don't have my friend code right now!

[formal sapphire]

dw 🙂

but seriously though. All of the human beings that have seen your island layout think it's killer.

[elder lion]

wow you have 11 trees instead of 10? 1 star smh

[torpid raft]

A

[formal sapphire]

AHAH

more like such A @torpid raft

[blissful schooner]

10 star beaches right here

[torpid raft]

Ok

[formal sapphire]

flower mania

dude I really want to make a honeymoon style beach

and like a beach cafe/beach resort

[torpid raft]

Funny 😐

[hexed bear]

omg mothra i jus realized the first numbers of your DA lol

[formal sapphire]

@torpid raft xD

[hexed bear]

1975 like THE 1975

[formal sapphire]

oOoOoOOoOo good juan

[blissful schooner]

beach flowercore

[formal sapphire]

am I crazy for getting rid of all the water right now to start fresh?

[blissful schooner]

that’s what i did

apart from my basic river area i got rid of all the ponds and extra stuff

[formal sapphire]

...and you cant get rid of the 2 beach water entrances, can you?

also, you can't create little sand islands, can you?

like...you cant create with sand?

it doesnt let me terraform on the beach

yeah..stinks. its ok, though

yeah. kinda funny

river mouths. thats what i was trying to say

[brisk schooner]

This is a draft of my new island layout,, I really like it so far

[fathom current]

wait am i wrong

the dark isnt the cliffs

bruh im leaving im sorry for being a fraud

[brisk schooner]

thank you!! a lot of the detail in bigger areas is gonna be like furniture and fencing

[hexed bear]

@scenic blaze best island i’ve seen !

[scenic blaze]

omg your character is so cute i cry

thanks for visiting

[hexed bear]

thank u she’s a very simple gorl

[bronze tusk]

so i’ve decided on a theme for my island

i’m gonna make my island based on avatar the last airbender

[warped trellis]

ooooo cool!

[hexed bear]

THAT WOULD BE SOOO COOOL

[warped trellis]

also, is it possible to turn nooks corner/the able sisters sideways?

[hexed bear]

i don’t think so😔

[warped trellis]

damn

[woven drift]

What do you guys think of my dock area?
Any suggestions?

[blissful schooner]

just visited your island and it’s so nice!!! i love the theme

[scenic blaze]

thank you!! i'm glad you liked it!

[woven drift]

Heres also my beach area
What do guys think about it?

It's not too big
Maybe either like a cafe/mini recreational area
Or just a patch or flowers

Could put some chairs and tables

[fierce snow]

I DM’ed u

[warped trellis]

i guess this is what I have so far for my plan?

the heart lake waterfall in the bottom left will need some work but i think it's okay so far

(the paths are just sort of a rough outline, i'll clean em up later)

[honest yarrow]

How can I get quick money i need like 500k 😫

😞

[blissful schooner]

Try trading stuff lmao

[novel totem]

A few hours ago on the no-fee-turnip-visits someone was advertising free turnips so I dmed them and visited their island, and got to fill up my whole inventory with turnips (FOR FREE) then within 5 minutes I was at another island with a fee of 1 GOLDEN NUGGET selling all my turnips for 602 bells per turnip. I made 1.3 mil in about 10 minutes for the price of one gold, the no fee turnip visits channel can work wonders.

[warped trellis]

Good advice, but this isn't the right channel for that though hehe

[novel totem]

Oh whoops just noticed that, so sorry I was trying to answer the question 😅

[warped trellis]

no worries! <3

[honest yarrow]

How'd you get to #no-fee-turnip-visits

[novel totem]

I barely know how to work discord but its under stalk market

[honest yarrow]

Not for me

I have trade role enabled

[novel totem]

I have no idea what that is as I said i’m only on discord for animal crossing lmao

[honest yarrow]

Ya I just need turnips and good prices

I need more eynor I'm gonna have a horrible island again

More money or **

I need an inventory of turnips and prices of 400 😫

[midnight dawn]

[gentle flower]

Before & After

Before & After

[lunar crest]

Im trying to do thet thing where people use the terraforming tool and then put fencing between them as well as hedges but idk what to do on the top of these. I was thinking bushes but idk. Any suggestions?

[lunar crest]

Its looks super cute! But what are those pillars you used to put the nova lights on?

[gentle flower]

Upright Lockers that are faced backwards

[lunar crest]

Ah i see thanks :))

[neon glen]

i like without dirt

[fierce snow]

Before & after

[sharp frigate]

Why?

[sharp frigate]

Oh

[dull geyser]

how do you get huge bugs?

[sharp frigate]

What kind?

[dull geyser]

ok

[sharp frigate]

Ok

The pic?

Dms

[midnight dawn]

This build turned out very nicely

Gives me anime vibes

[zealous orchid]

It's cute

[sharp frigate]

Any advice? (Forest theme)

[spiral dove]

The leaf pattern is a bit unnatural repeated so much

And to make it more natural, wiggle that path around. Less right angles.

[woven drift]

More trees and bushes would look nice

[gilded vigil]

so ive finally organised the lay out of my island and now my flowers are all over the beach and i need to put them around my island but i am so stuck for ideas, any inspo pics would be fab xo

[woven drift]

Whats your islands theme?

[gilded vigil]

ive tried to make it natural and overgrown

[jade quiver]

I think I'm almost done with terraforming water omg

[fierce snow]

It’s a 🐱!

[storm jacinth]

aw

[hearty canyon]

Can someone list ideas on what I can do to my island

I haven't played in months and started to play again yesterday

My island is 5 stars but I want to change it up

[brisk schooner]

I have a list of little areas I want for my island, that usually helps me to plot out where I'd like them to be such as a library, gym, fair, and cafe

Breaking it up into little areas will help fill your island evenly and stop you from feeling overwhelmed if you wanna just settle and design one little sitting area at a time

[hearty canyon]

I have a garden, park, cafe, a courthouse, a wedding on the beach

A dinning area

I have lots of flowers all over my island

[silent cloak]

Oh can you show us the wedding on the beach please? 🏖️🤩

[jagged bone]

Guys does a house need to go with the island theme? I customized my house with the colors i chose.

[fluid prairie]

Not really tbh

[jagged bone]

Oh ok

[fluid prairie]

Np

[woven drift]

heres some inspo! (not mine!)

[fluid prairie]

Oh wow! Looks nice

[hearty canyon]

@fluid prairie thank you!

[fluid prairie]

Np!

[woven drift]

Nice! My beaches are so cluttered with trash oml, how do you do it?

[hearty canyon]

It takes time lol

Just sell what you don't need

[jagged bone]

Guys ummm I found a dreamie

[hearty canyon]

Or give it away for free, bells or whatever

[fluid prairie]

Nice! Who is it?

[jagged bone]

Julian!

[fluid prairie]

Nice

[silent cloak]

Really nice!

[spring lotus]

I'm taking down my holiday decorations now, but this was one area I thought turned out well.

[woven drift]

SOOO PRETTY OMG

[spring lotus]

And here is Apple, photobombing as always. 😆

Now that I know how to transfer the screenshots to my computer, I will share more pics. 😎

[ionic shard]

Is this where I can post my Dodo code?

[opal lintel]

i think so

i am not sure either

[spring lotus]

Try #690093605821480980

[fluid prairie]

Nope posts that in island hang outs

[woven drift]

If you're looking for people to hangout with on your island try #690093605821480980

YES WHAT @fluid prairie AND @spring lotus said, thanks guys

[ionic shard]

Thx. I'm new here.

[woven drift]

Heres my dock area
What do you guys think of it?

[fluid prairie]

Cute!

[spring lotus]

This Discord has a LOT of channels, It's easy to get lost. I know! 😄

[woven drift]

@ionic shard welcome! Try #server-info , it has a list of all the channels to get you familiar

[woven drift]

SUPER CUTE

[ionic shard]

thx @woven drift

I looked and it said it was locked.

[sharp frigate]

Any ideas? (Forest theme?)

[minor crater]

I’m flattening out my island but.. someone help me please

I shouldn’t of planted these flowers.. 😭

[fluid prairie]

That’s a bunch of flowers

[minor crater]

I don’t wanna sell and waste them but they dont go into home storage

[fluid prairie]

I think that’s. Channel you can sell them on

[fluid prairie]

Try #flower-plants-trade

[minor crater]

ty

[sharp frigate]

Any advice? (Forest theme)

[brave igloo]

I organized this little area - a outdoor Cafe!

[fluid prairie]

Add some plants like flowers and bushes

[fluid prairie]

Adorable!

[neat gyro]

My island only looks good at night

[woven drift]

That is legit so cute omg

I LOVE IT

[neat gyro]

Thankss I literally hate my place during the day nothing glows or shines as it does at nighttt

[woven drift]

Yeah like the lamp posts probably look so magical at night and the other lights!!

[brave igloo]

I redid some of my island and it looks so much better

[fluid prairie]

My map so far did some major water and cliff terraforming

[brave igloo]

Do any of yall have a fortune telling area?

[silent cloak]

Would be so cute if you could travel on a little boat, to go from the museum to the clothes store for example!

[fluid prairie]

Yesssss

[neat gyro]

This count?

[lunar crest]

i like the layout buuut i would liek suggestions to make this better, it leads to a tinh gated area for my villagers. The pattern with the fencing is repetitive but idk how to fix it

[blissful schooner]

anyone else want to stay synced to time but are already tired of snow one month in and ready for spring?

my island looks way better in spring too :/

[blissful schooner]

Wow that’s awesome! How do you make space with so much water?

[fluid prairie]

Fence bush fence try that and maybe different fences? Adding some street lamps wold look great in corners

[fluid prairie]

I drew it out tbh I actually had more space than planned lol

[lunar crest]

Ah i see, definitely gonna need to do soem experimenting

[blissful schooner]

wow it’s super cool though

[fluid prairie]

Thx!

And np!

[blissful schooner]

but yeah i’m tired of winter and my island looks better in spring but idk

looks so nice in spring

[fluid prairie]

Mine looks better in fall tbh

[blissful schooner]

mine looked really good in fall

but winter doesn’t quite work?

[fluid prairie]

I’m doing a cottage core/ state park theme

[lunar crest]

I think the best islands are islands that look good in all seasons but the island owner can still change some things to adjust to the theme

[blissful schooner]

well to be fair tropical islands don’t work in winter

[fluid prairie]

With a bit of a witchy touch

True

[blissful schooner]

my theme is uh.. pretty obvious

[fluid prairie]

Mines more cottage core with a touch of state park and witchy vibes

[blissful schooner]

mines straight up medieval

[fluid prairie]

Nice

I love the fancy type islands

[blissful schooner]

with a lot of horror goblin core stuff i guess

[fluid prairie]

Yesss

[brave igloo]

I want there to be a better way to get rid of flowers wahh

[woven drift]

Imagine if we could just like weeds omg

[hardy willow]

I started a redesign of my island in November and I'm still not satisfied

[brave igloo]

Well tbh

If you're satisfied on ACNH then your done with the game

[fluid prairie]

True

[brave igloo]

I wish flowers sold for more

Like gimme an actual reason to pick them up

[fluid prairie]

Or the hybrid one sold for more

[void venture]

I’m not good at waterscaping so any pointers would be great..

[fluid prairie]

Depends on your theme if you want a more natural water way softer edges in’s soft bends are grate. city themes you can make straighter lines with softer turns

[void venture]

It’s a city but it’s not Urban so I thought having the entire river a straight canal wouldn’t be so great

[fluid prairie]

You can do that but not to long

[void venture]

What do you mean?

[fluid prairie]

You can find some grate canals with bridges on hear and Pinterest

Short canals are easer to decorate. Maybe you can have a large one with some smaller ones?

[void venture]

I’m still not exactly following

[void venture]

Do I just not connect the rivers then?

[fluid prairie]

You can uhh give me a sec I messed my key Boyd up one sec

[void venture]

Ok

[reef solar]

Hi! How did you guys incorporate your own house with your island's designs?

[woven drift]

Should I continue with my random island design, or should I restart and create one specifically for one theme: Desert: bazaar, oasis, pyramids, etc.

[fluid prairie]

I fixed it idk why it did that

[void venture]

It’s fine no worries

[fluid prairie]

You can do a large canal with smaller one going off.

Long straight rivers with hard turns kinda look like a sci-fi theme to me

[void venture]

So the rivers would disconnect then?

[fluid prairie]

Have a Maine Canal with some smaller ones leading off

[void venture]

A main canal?

[fluid prairie]

Yep

[void venture]

On which mouth? The bottom or the one at the top?

And what exactly do you mean by smaller ones leading off?

[fluid prairie]

Ide do the bottom one

Maybe ones that you can jump over kinda leading of the sides of the larger one

Like add some softer curves to what you have Rn and then some small creeks or brooks around it @void venture

If you have a lot of visitors ide do a catalog area

[void venture]

I see. Thanks

[fluid prairie]

That works!

[fluid prairie]

Np!

[brisk schooner]

pretty much done! time to start on this project

[void venture]

How did you curve your rivers to make it look so natural? Whenever I curve mine they just look sharp

[brisk schooner]

I drew that on HID so I can't say much else than I used my finger ahah

[fluid prairie]

I did mine on procreate

[void venture]

ah

[fluid prairie]

Ngl kinda like how zuckers house turned out so far

[blazing parcel]

oo i like it

[fluid prairie]

Now to figure out how to decorate it

[mild brook]

Is there any way I can make something look like a bridge on second level?

While I can walk under it

Cuz I saw ppl making like mini train lines, but the thing stops when theres a walkway at lower level

It's just weird looking

Hm

I'm still not sure how to decorate my island, it's crazy messy

I havent flattened

I want to move every building basically

At least every building is on ground level

I wan to make like a village for all the houses, then a horizon pool at the back looking into the sea, a hotel with a few rooms, a few restaurants

Oo

I saw someone made Disneyland on their island

P cool

Oh

I have ideas for markets
Food, fruit, veg, fish, tools, honey, cake,

Also noodle stand

Have a look on google, ppl have so much ideas for using stands

Oo that too

U got diff kinds of food?

Make different stores for those

I can make a noodle stand from the new year noodles, a juice bar with the blender and sum fruit, then a honey store with the wasp nest and like the pot bc it looks like a honey pot from winnie the pooh, a cake stand if u have a few mom's cakes or u can make them from hats

And like a temporary fish, bug, weed and plant store for when CJ, flick and leif comes

But like open spaces on my island r rlly scattered and small

[rustic drum]

Is it possible to get the path design in under the bridge? 😦

That sucks 😦 "The Path" is such a pain in the butt to place

[mild brook]

I thought u can place path even under a bridge

Oh

I only got the bridge I had to craft

I'm poor

[wooden hearth]

Today's progress! (Junglecore is so underrated)
