island-designs

[silver harness]

oh, and i got a better photo of my entrance! TTing worked for the aurora to appear for the new photo (thank god, now i know!)

[frigid bloom]

I was trying to visit peoples islands and every group I go to they tell me to go somewhere else.
I guess I’m an old lady amd don’t know how this whole group works. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[silver harness]

still, wrong channel lol

[patent bronze]

what should i put up here

[limber shadow]

does anyone have any good ideas for a 2 level garden? i’m gonna clear out some of this cliff, the area in the back is gonna be a little park. but i already made and incline there and i was thinking on having some kind of garden entrance thingy that’s 2 levels? so you go up the incline and then go down another to get to the park? or is that a dumb idea? idk. i want a cool garden but idk what to put. i want more levels on my island cause i think they look cool and i always want access to the secret beach so i need the park at that level. any ideas? i looked it up on google but couldn’t find anything good

oooo or maybe i could put a little cafe up there and then you go down to the park? lmk if that sounds stupid lol

[worldly notch]

Which stairs between nooks and ables?

[limber shadow]

i like the last one

[velvet osprey]

same

[patent bronze]

where should i put my nooks i wanna keep it close to my ables

[terse copper]

Finished my favorite villagers front yard what do yall think?

[rocky trench]

[limber shadow]

Qjqjqj1k1k1k1k1

[frigid bloom]

Ight.

[limber shadow]

i wish i could move my secret beach this would make it so much easier 😭 i want the cafe to be on a cliff then you go down but at the back. but that’s where my secret beach is. do y’all think it would look ok if i make a cliff and then you went down? like the cliff on the side where i’m standing with a cafe, and then you go down an incline to the park? would that look ok?

[ebon kite]

Pretty sure it'd look great!

[limber shadow]

i hope so cause i’m not about to tear down even more cliffs today lol

[ebon kite]

I mean you should try to picture it, try to draw it, etc to make sure you dont have to tear down anything-

[shut depot]

A mysterious jungle..

[limber shadow]

i’ve got the idea in my head i’m just worried it’ll just look like some random cliff. but i can connect it somewhere and it’ll look better so i think it’ll be fine

HOW ARE YOU ALL SO TALENTED THATS AMAZING

[ebon kite]

remember
if something looks bad, just add water

[limber shadow]

sometimes i wonder if we’re even playing the same game cause everyones island looks so much cooler than mine

[robust vapor]

omg wow virgo! thats really really pretty!

[limber shadow]

i will keep this in mind

[fiery tendon]

Enchanted peach forest ✨

[ebon kite]

bro honestly same, from the things your map shows it- it looks great. My island is just...

[ebon kite]

I LOVE IT SM-DSNGRNFJFHRFB 😩

[limber shadow]

ty!! i’ve barley done work especially what you can see in the picture lol i’ve got great ideas but they just don’t turn out well

[fiery tendon]

Thank youu!

[ebon kite]

i have no theme and or motivation for my island so i see a great island and just, cry-

[limber shadow]

i’ve got so much motivation but it never turns out right 😭 i also don’t have a theme but i guess it’s just, stuff. that’s my theme. it’s whatever i feel like adding

[ebon kite]

honestly SAMEEEE
do you have nintendo online cause if so do you wanna see my island? maybe you can give me some ideas becuase i have no idea what to do with anything 😭

[limber shadow]

yeah i do that would be awesome!! i doubt i can give any good ideas but i’ll try lol. i can’t today cause i really want to finish this area but hmu anytime tbh

[ebon kite]

t-tmrw

[fiery tendon]

Would you mind if I came for a look, too?

[ebon kite]

100% down if you can come now

[fiery tendon]

Ah, sorry, I'm busy at the moment. Mind if I DM you so we can set it up in future?

[ebon kite]

im down

[frozen rose]

Am I doomed forever with this ugly cutoff from the grass to the sand? 😭 trying to do my whole island with the sand path

[timid mountain]

Guys, you don’t need a theme for your island, I also did just put stuff like I have a spa,music place,Japanese place, swimming pool party, a spot with money tree’s, golden roses, and all the rest is just forest with statues and furniture, in the future when I have pekoe gonna move her and kabuki above the Japanese spot and make there a place for them with all my fruit tree’s and pumpkins

[limber shadow]

bet

[limber shadow]

i like it tbh, maybe add some flowers ? idk i don’t think it looks bad

[ebon kite]

I agree but sometimes i look at someones pastel fairycore masterpiece and start screaming at my one pink hyacinth

[limber shadow]

yeah same 😭 ^

[ebon kite]

sand code things-

[timid mountain]

Yeah some people do have awesome islands

But I like mine 2 iam proud of it

[timber forum]

You might find some paths that transition from grass to sand if you take a look in #path-codes. You can also ask around in #custom-design-help🎨!

[frozen rose]

aww ty, your comment definitely made my worries go away a bit! I try to throw down some things to cover it up haha

[frozen rose]

I tried to find some that matched but didn’t have much luck

[frozen rose]

I’ve posted there a few times and no luck 😭

[timber forum]

Awwh. I'm sure there's something like that online. I swear i've seen sandy islands before

[frozen rose]

I’ll definitely keep looking!! I’m back from a long hiatus after being gone several months and trying to revamp everything

Ty guys

[timber forum]

I need to work on my island too i havent worked on mine in forever...

Good luck tho!!

[pallid solstice]

Can you use red flowers for forest/cottagecore

[viral maple]

Yes Lemonade

[pallid solstice]

Oooh

[sweet hazel]

hey there (: does anyone have any rock garden inspo?

[timber forum]

Oh my god thats amazing.

[sweet hazel]

tysm!! i love how it looks with the gulliver items

[agile latch]

my future layout for hoshijima

[warped ingot]

I did some Magical/Witch Themed Garden for one of my Villagers, but I'm not sure yet if I like it that way, Does someone maybe come over and gimme a "feedback"?

[woven drift]

How can you all be so creative 😪 my head's hurt lol

[sick sluice]

Hello guys, can I get any suggestions for this area?

[odd skiff]

trees! maybe some bushes too

[crisp grove]

I love it!!!!

How dystopian

[woven drift]

Very cool!

[paper basalt]

Here is a photo of my map! Could anyone give some advise on what to do with the back half of my island. It looks like just a big terraforming mess. Would appreciate any feedback or photos for inspiration. Thank you! Anyone have a similar map?

[hushed sapphire]

Hi so I’m restarting my island and I was wondering if anyone could give me inspo that’s like a Japanese town?

[paper basalt]

^ Im going for a japanese inspired urban town area and the back half of my island is going to be very foresty 🙂

I would suggst using the cherry blossom inspired items as well as the bamboo items!

[hushed sapphire]

Oo yes!

[silver harness]

agreed! cherry blossom, zen, and bamboo sets work great

[elder ether]

The flamingo grove! I wish I was able to fit all the flamingos in one photo ):

[thorny rover]

Could anyone give me some good ideas for decorating resident services? my island theme is cottagecore + fairycore

[honest yarrow]

I need some ideas for filler

[paper basalt]

My entrance from the airport!

One of my favorite views ❤️

[ashen zephyr]

Hii！ I am currently struggling with what to put in this empty space,, its the space that you enter into once you’ve entered my entrance,, any suggestions？ Please ignore the items/flowers

[warped ingot]

Any suggestions? On the picture you can't see the area that well tbh (Magic/Witch Themed Garden for Muffy)

[woven drift]

hey guys i’m pretty new to the community so I hope someone can help give me some cool beach inspo ):

[silver harness]

why cant i have a good entrance ;-; it looks bad compared to everyone else's

[mental hound]

show entrance

[silver harness]

3rd post of this q-q

[hallow bramble]

and ideas what to put here ..? i have a cottagecore theme

[silver harness]

i dont know how people still have space on their islands... makes me feel bad

[woven drift]

WIP marketplace. Gonna have displays outside. The house I'm in front of is a library.

I'm gonna have a farmer's market area next to it on the side

[silver harness]

keep or get rid of? i like it, buuut i feel like it could be something way better (the flowers are temporary) i already have a fruit orchard, what do i do?

ping me

[long sleet]

its really cute maybe make a sitting area or fountain

[limber shadow]

so my cafes not done but i made the area. do you guys think it would look ok if i just add the incline in that empty spot? i’m gonna try to attach the cliff the cafe is on a bit better and make it look more natural but should the incline go there? it’s in the back middle of the cafe

this is the cafe, i can move some stuff around cause again it’s not finished, but do y’all think there would be a better spot for the incline?

[limber shadow]

if you already have an orchard i’d get rid of it bc even tho it’s super cool the space could be used for something totally different

[long sleet]

what should i do here i was just going to put trees but i want to add something, its really close to the plaza so when i tried to add a fountain it looked strange

[minor mesa]

BOOK NOOK BOOK NOOK

[neon glen]

going to be tearing down my playground soon, heres a lil clip of it

[white pendant]

Pretty new, still figuring out initial island design.
Just finished putting Resident and shops next to eachother.
Not sure about museum placement.
Removing entrance... again.
Then its onto spacing out homes and designing personal yards for all of my villagers.

[native smelt]

Your island looks amazing

[solemn condor]

Any thoughts??? It took me a while 🤍🤍

[neon glen]

thank you sm!!

[native smelt]

Okay this is really adorable

[solemn condor]

Thank u 😭🤍

[soft flame]

Anybody have some good farm layouts (fruits, pumpkins, flowers)? I'm trying to make five of my villagers farmers but I'm so stuck on where to place everthing

[elder ledge]

WOW!

[stable elbow]

Idk if this is what you're going for but I did my best 😅😂

[livid solstice]

thats so adorable 🥺

it looks amazing

[stable elbow]

Thank you so so much!

[livid solstice]

np :>

[native smelt]

What’s your dream code?

[limber shadow]

ok it’s hard to see in the picture but i made a cafe on a cliff, and then it’s gonna lead down to a park area. the light green is the stuff i connected to the cliff to make it look more natural ig (i’ll fix it up a bit more) and then that little rectangle missing is for the incline. i want something cooler to get down there but idk what lol. maybe 2 inclines, 1 on each side? idk. lmk if you have suggestions. i can show the actual area if you need (also ping me if you answer pls)

[frozen granite]

Unfinished burning forest

[rocky trench]

Thoughts?

[hardy willow]

love it

[rocky trench]

Epic

[woven drift]

i started terraforming my island but i dont have much cliff area, how important are cliffs? i have one row of cliff in the back where i have island homes and a bit of running room in front but i dont have a stream or anythinf

[rocky trench]

They're extremely important for a lot of aesthetics.

[woven drift]

also is it too congested if you make cliffs in random parts of your island just for extra streams

[frozen granite]

Damn no one said anything about mine 😔

Those fires took 3 stacks of branches and I still need more

[woven drift]

Where is yours? Reply to it and I’ll comment on it

[hardy willow]

I think the picture being at angle and out of frame makes it difficult to see what's going on. But generally I love putting fire all over my island.

[frozen granite]

Here

It’s like two scrolls

[dusty shell]

Soooo gooood!!!!!

[wide trout]

finished enterance! ( so sorry for the bad quality )

[limber shadow]

guys i’m indecisive idk where to put my incline someone help 😭

it’s currently gonna go in that little rectangle above that square

but idk if it’ll look good

[errant cliff]

Went for a real natural look. Now just need to decorate it! Black are custom paths and the music note is the amphetheater

[neon glen]

id just go for it tbh lol if you have enough money for that. if not i wouldnt stress about the placement about the incline too much and finish the areas around the incline

[peak warren]

memorial place for lucky

[smoky cargo]

I love lucky and that’s so cute

[limber shadow]

so the rectangle is a playground, the other shape is a fountain thingy, but idk what else to add to my park

[sonic cloak]

Anyone down for a late night visit to help me figure out which home to place here? I don't know what else to do with the area. Or what to do with the remaining space should someone move. And if you're down and want my attention, then DM.

[silver sorrel]

that's the perfect spot for a wrestling ring, just sayin

[blissful schooner]

does this fake tower work?? should i remove the panels on the side, or just scrap it

[dreamy comet]

hey just remade my island entrance! Could I have some feedback?

[woven drift]

Thats so much better then my island entrance. Mine is just a small area with a stage and a fountain with a public bench

[dreamy comet]

Aw thanks, and I'm sure your island entrance looks nice too

[marsh heron]

Looks amazing!

Maybe you coyld add some decoy ducks near the water~

Either way i love it! So much better than my flat entrance

[dreamy comet]

oo, maybe but I have a pond on the right so I think if I add a decoy duck it might be too many ducks

Thanks for the feedback!

[marsh heron]

np happy to help!

[woven drift]

I've finally finished rolf's and dom's gardens. Is there something else I could do with this little area I made?

[dreamy comet]

maybe add some more flowers, or is you have any QR designs you could put then on the floor. you could try to add fences, but I'm not sure if they would look good there

[zealous rapids]

Michelle I love this so much! Can you give me tips?

[woven drift]

I'm not that crazy for designing but maybe I'll go and find some paths that could look good in their gardens

[dreamy comet]

Thank you and yes, what type of theme is your island?

[woven drift]

I'm trying to get my island to look like its a little villager. Like beautiful landscape, natural looks and good placements of houses. (I don't have any good placements instead of rolf's and dom's house but I got enough bells to move everything multiple times)

I want nature to be the biggest part of my island

So ill need a lot of trees

And flowers of course

[zealous rapids]

I don't really have a theme. I'm thinking about going for a kingdom theme or a grassy theme if you know what I mean.

[neon glen]

honestly if you're going for a more natural feel, i think maybe making it less symmetrical would make it look more dynamic and natural

[woven drift]

So more clunky mountains and stuff?

[neon glen]

yeah something like that! rounded cliffs are good for filler. if you're not opposed to moving houses, i think it'd look more cozy if you had separated areas for them rather than placing them together in a straight line like that

[woven drift]

So more space between the villagers and shops

[dreamy comet]

yeah, I think spreading you villager house around your island makes it feel natural

[woven drift]

Ok then thanks for the tips

[dreamy comet]

so are you going for like a nature theme?

[woven drift]

Maybe I'll use wood fences to for more of a natural look

[zealous rapids]

Yes a nature theme!

[dreamy comet]

so I think maybe some river ponds, or a forest if want, maybe even an orchard

some mountains maybe?

[zealous rapids]

I was thinking about making each of my villager's homes on a hill with their own yard.

[woven drift]

Does grass themed paths sound good for like a forest island? I need some open areas for houses and flowers and stuff but I've decided I want to live in the summer so I always have green grass so the paths look more natural. Plus I think it would look great in a forest

[neon glen]

also forever living in summer but yeah that sounds nice

[woven drift]

Either spring or summer

[neon glen]

i prefer summer lol i think the hedges during spring r too bright

[woven drift]

The first thing I should do is probably move the houses to the beach for room to terra form

[zealous rapids]

What should I search on Pinterest to find what I'm looking for?

[versed wadi]

@woven drift I went for a natural looking island. It was a lot of fun.

[hollow wigeon]

just finished my dispensary and fauna is FEENING

[woven drift]

nice

[hollow wigeon]

musical instruments like the marimba and acoustic guitar, or maybe a pond/zen stuff

[hollow wigeon]

love the windfarm

[zealous rapids]

My entrance is currently the top one, but I want to make it look like the bottom one. My residential services is close to my airport as you can see. Is there anyway I can do something like this?

[sinful sonnet]

is anyone have similar layout? need some motivation

[last basin]

Newspaper printing press 🙂

[ornate compass]

It's similar to Dotombori isn't it?

[fading spindle]

Does anyone have any ideas on some things I could do for extra little areas on my island? I’ve been planning out how I want the layout to go but I find myself having a lot of blank spots and in need of inspiration.

[thorny sluice]

place flowers to get other colors I don't know how it's called

[fading spindle]

That’ll probably fill out some of my blank spots, thanks!

[thorny sluice]

maybe you should ask people their dream codes and then you can see for yourself what you like

your welcome

[fading spindle]

That’s actually a really good idea, I’ll try that out!

[thorny sluice]

how did you make it?

[wet oak]

Which side should I go for with my entrance? Excuse fauna and Ellie having a chat! I kinda like the left?

[thorny sluice]

wooow that's super beautiful I would leave it like that

[kindred wadi]

@mental hound heres my entrance! i’m going for a creepy forest vibe

[mental hound]

ooh I like it! I finished my entrance too and I’m doing a cozy cottage core type thing

[kindred wadi]

@mental hound cute! do you have pictures?

[mental hound]

oh my god it's so good ^^ mine looks so basic now haha

[lyric moth]

My house :3

I’m also working in a restaurant idk

[mental hound]

Pretty

[last basin]

Would love to see everyones cafes 🙂 looking for ideas

[wet oak]

Thanks for the help guys your islands are so pretty 💕

[shut depot]

The lost observatory , in the dephts of the jungle 🌴

[neon glen]

nooks cranny part 2 i think i like this one a lot more than my previous build !

[fleet delta]

Looks neat

[woven drift]

I've decided the theme i want to go for with my island. Im just having trouble thinking of how the area should look around my villagers houses. Rolf I figured out instantly. But my other 7 dreamies I can't figure out . My villagers are marcel, goldie, erik, rosie, dom and octavian. What do you think the area around their house should look like? I'm having trouble deciding.

What would their area around their houses look in a forest

[fleet delta]

If your going to put an orchard or farm like thingy put Goldie in the orchard like the farmers pet

Maybe put Erik somewhere in the forest, but make the entrance hidden in trees I guess

I’m not that creative but yeah

@woven drift

[woven drift]

Goldie is normal so a farm thing would fit her. And erik is a moose so of course he would live deep in to the forest. Thanks @fleet delta

[fleet delta]

No problem

Hey btw dreamy what theme is your island?

[carmine depot]

Does anyone have any fairycore? Campsite ideas? :)

[woven drift]

A natural forest. Im time skipping to summer so everything is green and beautiful. I need a lot of trees obvs. I also need the house a lil far away from each since I want everyone to have their own little humble home

[fleet delta]

Ok

I think I got a villager for that

Try get maple

She’s cute and really fits a forest theme

@woven drift

[woven drift]

I've already decided all my dreamys so I can't get her

[fleet delta]

Oh all good

I just thought she was a good suggestion

[last basin]

My tiny forest cafe 🌿 ☕

[odd skiff]

Lil agriculture section of my island; corn field, pumpkin patch, stable, vineyard, and mini orchard 🌾🧑🏽‍🌾

[faint snow]

My current flyover👽^^

[vagrant flare]

I loove this it looks hella fun!

[wintry wing]

Any tips for spreading out stuff on my island? I tend to place everything in one area and have so much unused space :(

[desert laurel]

I do the same thing! I try and create certain spaces for each little area I want and make them a big bigger so there’s space to move around. Place trees and flowers, you can also make a lake and that will take up a lot of unused space

[wintry wing]

Ooo those are good ideas! Especially the lake! I want to fill up my island and right now everythings around the center. Villager homes are just in a row and they dont really have their own area / decor

[desert laurel]

The lake is definitely a good idea! You could also make a flower field or an orchard for all your fruit if you haven’t already. There’s lots of stuff you can build, it really comes down to your imagination!

[wintry wing]

An orchard has been a goal of mine for awhile, i just dont know how to organize it. I try to gain inspo from pinterest but sometimes i dont know how to acheive certain layouts :(

I have so many hours into the game and i just feel like i should have so much more done

[desert laurel]

Awe I see, I’m the same way for certain things. You could always try without Pinterest and do your own style and see how it goes! Sometimes it’s better to just do it and not compare it with others because it’s your island! Make it fun and your style

Don’t worry it says I have like 200 hours but I never got anything done. I recently restarted my island so it’s funny when it says that lol

[wintry wing]

Thats true, definitely want to put my own spin on things!

[desert laurel]

If you ever need help with ideas I could always fly over via dodo code and check things out to give you inspo aswell. I don’t mind and I love thinking of ideas for building things!

[wintry wing]

I'd love to fly over! Let me know when you're available! Just finishing up some stuff rn then ill be free

[faint snow]

Thank you!💕

[neon glen]

some images of my nooks !! decided to make a lil pumpkin area around it, v happy w the outcome

[warm carbon]

I need advice., does this look good where it is..? If not what should I put in it’s place..?

I can’t find anything to put for the houses and I rlly need help 😭

[devout iron]

Any ideas on what to put on this tiny spot of mini island? Maybe a picnic blanket pattern?

[warm carbon]

I don’t know what to dooooooooo 😭

[balmy sky]

Maybe give each neighbor their own yard/decor? That's what I did for mine.

[dim dune]

I have no idea where to ask this, but I’ve seen this item around on a few pictures, and I haven’t kept up with any of the recent updates for the game at all, what is this glass called? I can’t find it listed on any of the websites that show every item in the game either :,)

[warm carbon]

Their houses are really close together 😭

[neon glen]

it's called sparkling cider - you can order it thru nook shopping

[dim dune]

Ty, is it at a special time though? (I’ve been stuck in the middle of summer/fall decorating my island so I dunno any of the seasonal stuff)

[neon glen]

i think during january? i don't rlly know the exact time bc i also tted to summer LMAO

[dim dune]

Lmao- anyway I’ll try :)

[balmy sky]

It's called sparkling cider. You can order it via Nook shopping, but it'll only be around till New year's Eve I believe.

[tough olive]

I’m having an issue. I want my island to have like, water and little cute islands and stuff... but I also want a city theme. Any ideas how I can work this out?

[calm jewel]

I have finally started fully decorating my island but i have a blank space where i dont know what to put. Any ideas?

[dim dune]

Make it into 2 “sections”. Essentially, either make your island into the water with little islands and then a big island with a city (also where your villagers will be), or a city with a park that has water with little islands, or combine them to essentially make a city built around small islands, so maybe only 2 or 3 villager houses per small island but still a city aesthetic

[tough olive]

That’s a good idea, i think I’ll make it into parks. Thanks!

[dim dune]

Np :)

[fierce snow]

#game-help-questions❓ nookazon lists all items. That is sparkling cider

[dim dune]

Sparkling cider isn’t listed yet though

[fierce snow]

Sorry fizzy apple juice @dim dune

[woven drift]

Something feels off, what should I add other than bushes?

[silver harness]

i think bushes will be great, it looks alright how it is too :>

oh and uh, may i say something somewhat unrelated? (related to the channel tho)

[calm jewel]

What should i put here?

[woven drift]

Maybe a small fishing area?

Coolers, fishing poles, and some custom designs with fish or fishing supplies?

[calm jewel]

Thats actually not a bad idea

Thanks

[woven drift]

Alrighty thanks

I need some opinions should I change the panels to a fence

[tribal nimbus]

No I like how is i feel

[sacred kernel]

One month in a game and I just started making a fairycore island. Does the entrance needs anything else?

[floral igloo]

that looks so good! maybe some mush lamps or bushes but i honestly don't think it needs anything else

[tribal nimbus]

Ye I agree

[pure quest]

yo thatssss crazyyyyy

[pine elm]

Can anyone sent a photo of his island entrance with mountains for inspiration?

[silver harness]

making some big changes to my island today, i'm relocating my campsite, removing my mini fruit orchard, and upgrading my café to have 2 storeys and a kitchen

the beginning like 2 hours ago

i dont wanna spam so i'll wait a few mins in between sending pics

[calm jewel]

What should i fill this space with?

[tribal nimbus]

Play park or seats?

[slender surge]

Maybe market

[silver harness]

i like the market idea, maybe make a small shop like i have

[silent cloak]

Okay so I didn't do this on purpose.. But doesn't it look like a little Yoda?

[silver harness]

haha it does!

here's the redesign of my café so far!! the first pic is the first storey, the second is the top. the bottom will just be a normal kind of café, snacks drinks etc. and the top will be like a restaurant/diner with the kitchen and stuff. i just need a red/black diner counter and chairs to match with the cloth tables (which i ordered today)

(also ty mom for helping me with stuff on this too)

[bronze tangle]

Really thinking about redoing my island theme but not sure what I should go with.

What are yalls favorite themes?

[last basin]

My little music shop 🎷

[graceful grail]

i knew my cafe was missing something, thanks to you i got an idea :D

[silver harness]

aww yw!

[graceful grail]

nice

[woven drift]

I built a little playground today!

That's adorable, great work!

[dim lantern]

😄

[woven drift]

I prefer a modern and sharp feel not so much natural or fantasy themed

[gusty pewter]

What should i put here??

[woven drift]

Do a little beach cafe maybe

I put a mermaid hotel there

Woah that’s cool

I’m still a one star island

if you have the ice items maby like a cute little ice area

[idle shadow]

a painting area or lighthouse would also be cute for that peninsula!

[woven drift]

Or a surf shop would be cool

or an outlook post

[idle shadow]

I’ve also seen people turn peninsulas into diving spots too

[woven drift]

there are soo many ways to designe and decorate your island... and that´s what i love about animal crossing

[silver harness]

same

that's why i got it, i wanted it for my bday (bc it came out right before) but i ended up getting it for my sister's bday haha

[woven drift]

I revamped my entrance ✨🐮 Much roomier now!

Woahhh

I built a little art studio today

[cobalt burrow]

Idk what to do here

[stable oar]

I made a little jungle themed cottage entrance!!

[vestal grail]

does anyone have a post office area? i wanna add one to my island but i’m stuck on how it should look

[vernal sun]

[tribal nimbus]

If u r then dis for u

[rapid pulsar]

I moved a TON of stuff, but I've got no idea what to do with this much open space. Need some advice guys. Preferably with examples.

(Please ignore Charlie and the Chocolate Factory running in the background)

[tribal nimbus]

Add a pebble path with trees around and furniture such as well barrows to lead u to the campsite that has a campfire and a futon

For Wally World

Srry if I’m really pacific lol

[austere token]

How do u like my art studio I spent like 3 hours on it

[tribal nimbus]

I like it nice avatar btw

[austere token]

U like it thx

[tribal nimbus]

Wat to add?!

I’m trying to make park

[odd skiff]

When it doubt, trees and bushes (esp on the cliff around the water). Maybe a bench in front of the water?

[gray seal]

I am

[swift radish]

I added a flat rock in the middle of my waterfall to give a lil extra.

[supple tide]

My campsite

[gray seal]

That's super cute!!! I might borrow some of your ideas when I make mine

[supple tide]

Thank u!!! Good luck ❤️

[dapper mist]

Which one should i choose i like all four

[lyric lake]

[supple tide]

Hey guys I’ve been struggling with terraforming ideas and how to use my space and where to put houses. I just wanted to know if anyone wanted to come to my island and look at stuff and give me any ideas. If not, any ideas are appreciated. I want to add more layers (like of ground) but I am unsure of where to start and all

[supple tide]

Bottom right

[final spire]

hey does anyone have a race track desighn can be small or huge i made some custom desighns for a race and referee that i want to be able to use

[woven drift]

Agreed

[fringe lava]

the left

[wide charm]

I’m having trouble designing my island. Didn’t have kkslider come yet. I don’t know if I spend the money now to fix my island (move houses, build bridges ect) or should I wait till I get terraforming? I feel like I’m wasting time and money in the beginning? (Just started playing recently) I’ve been buying a lot of stuff to fix the island. Do I need to progress in the storyline first?

[copper yarrow]

i think what might feel off is the lack of height, so maybe some trees?

[woven drift]

I believe so

wth my island is full of trash

[frail sleet]

what would be cool to put in the middle a moon is too big

[woven drift]

I’m having the same problem my dream design needs terraforming so I’m just putting houses anywhere

[charred geyser]

So I just flattened my whole island so if anyone has any inspo I would love to see! Mostly looking for a kidcore sorta vibe but ANY and ALL inspo i would love to see (make sure to @ me)

[woven drift]

how did u do that

[red bear]

(Ignore beach flowers and me on the right ) Work in progress of my campsite area

[woven drift]

that takes weeks

[frail sleet]

anyone know a good center piece🥲

[long sleet]

a moon would look cool but it might big

[frail sleet]

i did put moon it looks amazing but too big

[long sleet]

there are some cool paths that could work

[fierce night]

Guys I need some flower help 🤧🤧🤧

I'm trying to make a flower bed garden type of layout in front of my museum I just moved.... but the flowers going here are all the reds blacks and orange flower breeds and the green mums

These colors dont go with my island aesthetic I was going for... but I still need them for crafting...

Any ideas on how I should lay them out??

[long sleet]

anyone got entrance ideas that would work here

[silver harness]

happi bob in background

[dreamy comet]

Some thing i did was too put all the flowers I didnt need onto the beach so that they dont take up room on my island and I can still pick them. the flowers wont grow back but if you want them to grow back put them back on the grass

[silver harness]

me tooo

E.
how do u like moi café?

bien or nein lol

(jk)

[edgy tapir]

does anyone have any good ideas to fill up space?

[dreamy comet]

For filling up space you could put a pond or a small mountain there

or a river if you have enough space

[edgy tapir]

thank you!

[tidal pine]

I like the way a novastar looks on top of the turkey day garden stand!

Or an asteroid

[ornate root]

Anyone have any glow forests that use the mush lamp

[dreamy comet]

Any feedback?

[idle shadow]

not mine but I hope it’s helpful (found on pinterest) @ornate root

[dreamy comet]

Pekoe's house!!

[woven drift]

Anyone have tips for a London or Paris style island?

[woven drift]

A fake statue

[woven drift]

I think theres a mini Eiffel Tower from gulliver I dont remember

[frail sleet]

what fencing would look good

[undone mural]

London/japan/oblivion themed street

[frail sleet]

around the edges i don’t if i should put lights hedges or fencing

[undone mural]

Put a mix between fencing and hedging perhaps, and maybe use zen fencing (hope that makes sense)

[woven drift]

That’s actually really cool

[frail sleet]

that might look really good should i use shrubs or like the fence hedges

[undone mural]

Shrubs

[long sleet]

any advice for cottagecore islands idk terraforming doesnt look natural and doing cliffs away from the back edge of my island doesnt work well for me

[modern yarrow]

Yo, could I please get some help with choosing like the best/reccomended layout as I am restarting

[lunar crest]

Sure

[modern yarrow]

I hated my other island layout

[lunar crest]

Make sure you towne centre is in the middle horizontal, two river mouths on both sides

[modern yarrow]

Thats my old

Resident services too close

[proud pumice]

Lily’s yard 🙂 feedback welcome!

[modern yarrow]

10/10

[long sleet]

i love it

[lunar crest]

Its cute

[long sleet]

i wanna restart cause my layout is awful but my villagers are good and i dont want to loose them

[modern yarrow]

I like my villagers as well but cant bother with the island itself

[lunar crest]

Island layout for inspo, i recommend you make sure your towne center is in the middle qnd not too close

I didnt update my da

[long sleet]

ooh thats really nice

my town center is very close to the entrance making it hard to do anything

[lunar crest]

Its ironic how my island is called froggyisle but no frogs

[long sleet]

lmao

[lunar crest]

If only we cluld move it

But nintendo says no

[long sleet]

yea that would be great

[modern yarrow]

That is very symetrical

Kiki, could I please ask for a favor?

[lunar crest]

I had to imrprovise, i wsnted my town centre in the middle but could not happen

[lunar crest]

Sure

[modern yarrow]

Could I maybe move my stuff that I want to keep on your island and then take it back once I reset?

[lunar crest]

Sure! I have a shit ton of space

How much stuff you need to bring over?

[modern yarrow]

Ill load up my game and check

[lunar crest]

That green rectangle as well as my beaches you can load all your stuff on there

[modern yarrow]

Oh yis tysm :3

Could I also be able to move my sisters? She doesnt have much

[lunar crest]

Make sure to take stuff in categories, itll help when moving back

[lunar crest]

Sure

[modern yarrow]

Yayy thankss

[lunar crest]

I dont mind paying loans for storage tbh

[lunar crest]

Just starting out?

[crisp ether]

Nah it’s my new file

This island I picked so perfect

[lunar crest]

Why is it perfect?

[crisp ether]

It’s better then my old island it’s was messy

[lunar crest]

Does the towne center line up woth the airport?

Thats my dream island

[long sleet]

same lol

[crisp ether]

look at it’s layouts

[long sleet]

mines like 3 off so thats annoying

[lunar crest]

My dream island: everything is symetrical

[modern yarrow]

Kiki it may take multiple trips

is that fine?

[lunar crest]

But i think about the animal crossing experience its supposed to be imperfect with failing

[crisp ether]

Would you like to visit my island

[lunar crest]

Yeah

[modern yarrow]

Is there a fee to travel to your island?

[crisp ether]

Nope it’s free

There’s really nothing to look at but it’s island is just perfect

I haven’t done any builds on it yet

[modern yarrow]

Oh I asked Kiki

Soz

[crisp ether]

Ahh I see ok

I open my gates for you to visit

@lunar crest I dm you the dodo code

[swift radish]

❤ Im really liking how this area turned out. Able's store, near the beach.

[long sleet]

finished my entrance not sure how i feel about the mushrooms

[oblique jolt]

Anyone who has an idea what i can do here? (my island is fairy core/cottagecore themed)

[charred geyser]

Has anyone used the cherry blossom furniture in a cute way?

[silver harness]

samee

[lunar crest]

Never will happen

;u;

[silver harness]

maybe a garden, forest, fruit orchard (if you dont have one already,) or a marketplace?

[woven drift]

I’m trying to get a London style island anyone know some tips?

[hexed gorge]

Couldn’t sleep so I just did this!! 🙂

[silver harness]

aww that's so cute!

haha i think my island name is so dumb now

[woven drift]

What is it?

[silver harness]

Beanu Town

[woven drift]

That’s not a bad name

[silver harness]

i just think it isnt like cool, like "Fantasia" or somethin
i like my sister's name, tho. Unitopia

AHEM i chose it

any way i could improve?

bamboo or no?

[limber shadow]

it’s hard to tell but this is my zen garden so far.. i’m gonna add a better design over the grass, and remove that incline. in the back corner there’s a bamboo shelf and outdoor bath, and to the right it’s a path that just leads out. i feel like this is REALLY ugly. any suggestions? 😭 i’m gonna add some bamboo trees once i’m done
the entrance is cool tho there’s a zen bridge and waterfalls on each side i rlly like that part

[limber shadow]

i like it a lot i can’t think of anything else you should add

[silver harness]

i feel like it could use alot more decoration

[tawdry sage]

hey i need help there's a lot of negative space on my island im going for an outdoor museum type effect and could use some help lol

[woven drift]

current entrance wip and im happy with it !!

[silver harness]

aw thats cute!

i wish you could give perms to people to place stuff on your island

[tawdry sage]

you can can't you by being besties?

[silver harness]

nope, i dont think so

but idk, i havent tried

[sharp frigate]

You can't

[silver harness]

i thought being best friends only meant you could use your axe and shovel

[modern yarrow]

Could someone pls help me with choosing my island layout

[tawdry sage]

that's what it was

[modern yarrow]

I am restarting and looking for a good lyout

[tawdry sage]

what are your options @modern yarrow

[modern yarrow]

Any, I can keep on resetting until i get the map

Is that good

[tawdry sage]

well the thing to remember is you can modify that completely except for the river exits and everything on sand lol

also @woven drift this is my entrance im glad we think alike

[modern yarrow]

I want like a symetrical island

[woven drift]

yesss

[modern yarrow]

TF

[tawdry sage]

this is mine @modern yarrow

[modern yarrow]

DID YOU SEE THAT PICTURE JUST THEN

oo thats nice layout

[woven drift]

my island is severly under construction rn, i have to wait for stuff to move to continue working on my able's :((

[tawdry sage]

my 5 year old saw it.

[modern yarrow]

Oof

[long sleet]

what does everyone do by there plaza cause i have no ideas

[modern yarrow]

Flowers or soemthing

[long sleet]

i see

[tawdry sage]

@long sleet this is mine

[long sleet]

oooh thats nice

[woven drift]

my plaza is planned to be surrounded by water soon so i cant give much lol

[silver harness]

wtf

[long sleet]

i-

[tawdry sage]

can we ban him please

[silver harness]

my eyes

i need bleach
pls

[long sleet]

i want to add a fountain but it takes up too much space for being near my plaza...

just gonna ignore that

[woven drift]

i blocked the dude asap

[woven drift]

just block him and report

[tawdry sage]

my fountain @long sleet it's symetrical

[long sleet]

oh i like that garden idea

its really nice

[silver harness]

i didnt have time to block

qwq

[tawdry sage]

my island is nice, i just have alot of random negative space and need suggestions lol

[long sleet]

my islands a mess i only have the entrance complete

but it does look pretty nice

[silver harness]

i want empty space

[limber dragon]

#acnh-chat⛱️

[woven drift]

@tawdry sage ive tended to fill up places with flowers or trees, or smaller gardens work aswell for pumpkins or flowers

[modern yarrow]

Is 1 or 2 better

[tawdry sage]

my island was 1 i think

nope my layout was top right

[steady forge]

I like 2 cause the airport is farther away making more room for a bigger entrance !

[modern yarrow]

Yea that's what I was thinking

Should I go with 2

[steady forge]

yeah go ahead do it !!! 😄

[woven drift]

Which looks better?

1 2
3 4

[modern yarrow]

I'd go for 2

More room for entrance and a lot of open space to gather materials at start

[woven drift]

What about 3?

[limber shadow]

it depends on how your want your entrance

[woven drift]

Hmm

[limber shadow]

the only thing that matters is where resident services is tbh

everything else you can change

so just think about how you want your entrance

[long sleet]

3 is really close to the entrance so i could cause problems unless you have an idea already

[woven drift]

Is that the airport?

[long sleet]

yea

[woven drift]

So either 1 or 2

3 and 4 are too close

[long sleet]

the entrances can still look nice it just if the airports close to the plaza however it get rid of some options

[woven drift]

I think I'm gonna go with 2

[long sleet]

i like 2 the most

[limber shadow]

ok so this is my zen garden. i’m gonna connect that fence but it’s open for now so i can get around. to the right out of frame there’s one more bamboo tree and the path just continues out. should i add anything else? i’ve got a few more lamps i might add once i see how the trees look. also are those good spots for the trees?

^ i’m also gonna make the grass something else idk what yet

[long sleet]

ooh thats nice

[limber shadow]

also i’m removing that ramp lol

[woven drift]

Is this a good place for a house/tent?

Also, should I place the Villager ones near me or no?

[limber shadow]

yeah i think so. you can always move them tho so it doesn’t really matter

[long sleet]

you can always move those later so dont think too hard on it 👍

yea that

what should i put here im removing the flowers and path

[tough sundial]

More path

[long sleet]

it looks a bit plain so i might add flowers or a well

[proven saffron]

does anybody have any area ideas to place a picnic? i’m thinking the Dock or somewhere near Resident Services...

here’s my island layout ATM.

and my outdated DA kajdkspqiw

[long sleet]

the top layer looks plain im not sure since you dont see custom paths so it could be nice

[proven saffron]

yeah, i haven’t really started any paths yet. the pain of doing everything (design-wise) BEFORE finishing the game 😔

[long sleet]

ah

[vital root]

Mine is like this. Basic but it suits my island style

[proven saffron]

ah, so cute!! i think that gives me a great area to place my picnic. ty

[hallow stirrup]

Aww!

[vague oar]

This is my current layout, most of the blank space is fruit trees except for the upper left past the river and the lower right square, I havent cleared the cliffs much yet I started early December and just got a bunch of new residents

[frail sleet]

what could i add to make this a lot less boring

[limber shadow]

^^ if someone has ideas for that lmk i have the same thing

[hardy willow]

Add some fencing a scarecrow

[limber shadow]

also, i think my zen garden looked worse cause of the white snow. i time travelled and the green grass makes it look a lot better. i like it :)) it’s kinda sucky but it’s ok. i also decided to keep the ramp, at least for now. not all of its in the frame but most of it is. if anyone has any more ideas lmk

also ping me if you say something ^^

also this is the entrance i really like it. i’m gonna add some flowers and stuff soon bht this is it for rn

[frail sleet]

here’s my rock garden think i might add shrubs in

[jagged sapphire]

ok so i finished my entrace since im redoing my island but idk what to do after my entrance and still make it cohesive

im strugglin real bad

[tough sundial]

Maybe more cliffs

[sick sluice]

This is for Julian's yard, any suggestions?

[sick sluice]

I think this might help https://youtu.be/D0wci4Xyg3Q

[limber shadow]

what flowers do y’all think would look good in a zen garden?

[sick sluice]

White flowers in general

Also green mums

[limber shadow]

ok thank you

[uneven knot]

I'm currently planning my island. While I am trying to create some sort of "enchanted luxury" or elegant feel, I am intending to use several themes. This is where I am currently, and I need help inside the red circle. The secret beach is planned to have a pirate ship I found online. My question is, should I make the surrounding area a jungle with a tropical resort in that back corner (for including an infinity pool overlooking the ocean)? And maybe a villager house for someone like Audie, Bangle, or Savannah? The dark outline would be a river separating the area from the rest of the island

[limber shadow]

ok i really like my zen garden but this one spot just feels empty. idk what to put there. any ideas?

[spiral lava]

My clay studio 🥰

[floral igloo]

that looks so adorable!

[rigid folio]

heres mine

not much but what do you think

[woven drift]

Just wanted to show you my island before I mess it all up!

[uneven knot]

That looks so pretty!

[woven drift]

Thank you!!! I have full on streets as well. I’m gonna move so much stuff around

[uneven knot]

I wish you luck! I bet it's gonna be just as good if not better

[woven drift]

Thank you!!!💖

[uneven knot]

Oooooo. That street looks so nice! I reset my island last week and I'm currently trying to plan what to do with my new map. I can only hope my city section has streets as nice as that lol

And you're welcome! 💖 💕

[woven drift]

Omg that’s exciting! I hope to see it in the future!✨

[uneven knot]

Thanks! And hopefully you'll be able to see it sooner than later! I'm liking the ideas I have so far. More than any other I had before

[hot yew]

@limber shadow honestly add a lot of bamboo furniture and some zen cushions could look cool

[grim halo]

A tiny carnival 🎡

[buoyant jetty]

I'm pretty sure this is the right channel but-
I'm looking for someone to help me redesign my island! I've got several images saved for reference, I just can't figure out how to do it^^
I can pay in bells or nmt, just name your price^^

[woven drift]

Some things based on sonic

[woven drift]

Where’s the Museum at??

[uneven knot]

I haven't put it on the island yet. I'm just planning things out right now. I have a plan for it, I just wanted to get some of the other planning done first

[woven drift]

Gotty

Sorry I was curious that’s all

[uneven knot]

That's alright. It's not bad to be curious 😄
If you'd like, I'm hoping I can fit this and recreate it
Edit: Just wanna clarify this is not my original design, I found this online

[last basin]

Working on my mushroom area :)

[tawdry breach]

all of your islands look sooooo nice

[serene cargo]

Add other objects to add dimension. I added lanterns and the Spooky chair. Even weeds.

(old photo. I've moved and changed this slightly since but it's the same concept)

[gilded kayak]

Do you guys like it

I’m not very far yet

[serene cargo]

@limber shadow I posted my pumpkin patch above.

[charred arch]

Giant blank space on the upper level of island help please

[velvet cove]

Maybe you can do a forest area? Or depending on what you’re going for, maybe like a plaza with a diner and cafe and other little places like that?

[forest mauve]

this is my layout! boone got replaced w/ stitches btw

im going for an angelic and kidcore themed island, but i literally have no ideas on that :(( im lost and really need some inspiration on what to put in all of those empty areas!!

[rain abyss]

Maybe a cute outdoor school?

[eternal summit]

any tips on how to fully redesign the island?

as in, i want to completely redo the terrain but theres trees etc in the way, is there an easy way to do it without having to move all the trees? or is digging up the trees my only option :(

[tacit night]

So im not really sure on what to put in this square, any suggestions? (So far i have an outside airport, a market and a cafe)(also tge house nooks cranny and able sisters will be moving)

@eternal summit im pretty sure you can get rid of them if you request a cleanup on the island designer app

[gusty pewter]

Dont know what to do here, any ideas?

[velvet vapor]

my entrance to my home 🥰

[wintry wing]

New museum area

[frank narwhal]

so pretty

[limber shadow]

do you have the code for that museum side in the back? i had it but i replaced it and i can’t find it again

[limber shadow]

j think that just gets rid of items you dropped. i know it didn’t work with a huge field of flowers

[limber shadow]

thank you!

[serene cargo]

@limber shadow I actually have a new version where I combined it with a mushroom farm which I'll post later since I still haven't uploaded any new photos I've taken

[tacit night]

O i was just talking about the trees n stuff

[limber shadow]

i don’t think it gets rid of those either

[last basin]

looking for more unusual ideas for stalls and shops to create. i already have a stall for music, fruits, cafe, cake, newspapers, ramen, honey.

[hot dome]

Hey can someone help me? Why aren't these fruit trees growing

[eager cypress]

Please ask in-game questions in #game-help-questions❓ ! I believe this is because they are too close together, but it'd be better off in q&gh!

[hot dome]

Ah sorry, thanks

[bleak gazelle]

Im having a lot of trouble thinking of an island layout to look very nice

I keep resetting my game to retry for a better idea

Also how do i move houses and stuff

[wintry wing]

Yes! One second

[woven drift]

Guys where should octavian live on a forest island? Should I put him on a beach or maybe put him surrounded by water with a bridge leading to his home?

[bleak gazelle]

Depends

If your ok with a house on the beach go for it

What island should i choose

[woven drift]

The problem of living on the beach is that he will look like im isolating him but if I put him in the forest I think would look unnatural for an octopus to live in a forest

[bleak gazelle]

Ima choose upper right

[carmine idol]

choose what you want but keep in mind you cant move river mouths or nook building

[long sleet]

i would choose lower right since the airports further away

from the plaza

[bleak gazelle]

i want the airport to line up with the plaza

i want it in the middle as a way to stretch out and go to other parts

[long sleet]

ah

that makes sense

[bleak gazelle]

yeah.

but i dont know how to move other buildings

do people just wait to get blathers?

so they can put him wherever

[long sleet]

yea

and after you get 3 stars you can move anything except the airport and plaza

[bleak gazelle]

ohhhhh

how do i get three stars?

[woven drift]

Place a lot of furniture

[long sleet]

and plants

[bleak gazelle]

random places are good?

[long sleet]

i mean yea you could make it look nice or wait

[bleak gazelle]

CORNER OF THE ISLAND HERE I COMEEEE

[woven drift]

I would just place a lot of random stuff and when I get terraforming I would start making it look good

[bleak gazelle]

yeah i got jealous when i saw someone with blathers museum on a cliff ;-;

[lone oxide]

My old Able Sisters' placement 😊 (still my favourite layout till now)

[long sleet]

oooh nice

[bleak gazelle]

...

**I messed up placement

[long sleet]

yea you dont need to think too hard on the placement until later

[bleak gazelle]

THE HOUSE NEXT TO MINE IS CROOKED

[long sleet]

you can fix it later dont worry

[bleak gazelle]

oh

also i have a school girl rhino as my villager and im very uncomfortable

[long sleet]

oh

[bleak gazelle]

yup

WAKE ME UP INSIDE

maybe ill make a village in a corner later

[lone oxide]

Merengue or Rhonda? Cuz I love both

[bleak gazelle]

Rene

[lone oxide]

Oh. Thank god

[long sleet]

merengue is great

i made a little sitting area in the forest

[bleak gazelle]

thats nice!

is a peach island rare?

[odd skiff]

as a potter myself i couldnt love this anymore. i just wish there was an actual pottery wheel item!

[bleak gazelle]

wait if i dont get blathers i cant get a shovel or vaulting pole

yeah ima have to do that0

before i reset i had kid cat. he was a good villager and took up half of my villagers. the other one was a horse and i frogot the name

im throwing renee in the bonfire

okno

democracy or stormbird as a name

ill do stormbird

[woven drift]

I want to make kinda of a garden place for goldie to live since she's normal. A flower and pumpkin garden. Does that sound good for her? She will be like the friendly little girl who lives in the forest

[broken lotus]

What should I do after the entrance to the island? I’ve done a plaza I just don’t know what to put in it

[long sleet]

yea you can come to my island and ill give you my vaulting pole and laldder if you want to just dm me

[woven drift]

I should give her a straw hat then

At least it will look cute then she has it on

I've seen that video lol

[molten vessel]

i still havent finished mine either and i reset in august

[frosty spruce]

my island is completely terraformed, i started by flattening

never time traveled either, i had to get all my fall items by trading with southern hemisphere

[woven drift]

I REALLY hated my last island so I restarted and im doing forest core/cottage core

[frosty spruce]

you may like this, this is my hidden cafe, it’s pretty cottagecore

everything in my island is pretty fluent and hidden so you have to know where you’re going most the time

that was the plan

[woven drift]

yeah I dont usually use the in game paths because I think they are a little plain but sometimes I use the dirt ones

[frosty spruce]

yeah this is the only time i used one

[neon glen]

i love the arched path LMAOO almost everything on my island is the arch path

[woven drift]

my island is also pretty clutter core im not sure I can pull it off tho

What theme should I make marcels area. My island will be pretty heavy based of forests and nature. How would marcel live in a forest?

[woven drift]

what does his house look like?

Interior or exterior

exterior

please

K

What theme would fit his house

maybe you could do a cozy little hot springs or something

Maybe

I was thinking some stuff that looks like its from france since he's a mime but I don't think that would fit in a forest

maybe you could do like something like vintage france or something

[neat sky]

Does anyone have a cute garden idea?

..to quite literally plant and breed flowers, I mean^

[woven drift]

custom pathways r kinda annoying

[turbid mortar]

[robust crypt]

i would be picking something up and accidentally wipe the pathway away

[robust crypt]

knighty

[hazy raven]

Very cute cafe!

[robust crypt]

[hazy raven]

I gotta share my hard work 😩

Lol

[robust crypt]

[hazy raven]

@robust crypt I time traveled back in time so set my dream address there

[woven drift]

when do you plan on saving your dream address im going to do mine in early summer at 5:00 am

[hazy raven]

I did mine at 5 pm mid oct.

For the green leaves

[robust crypt]

how do some of u guys organize your shops

[hazy raven]

But I did have it end of Nov for the beautiful red leaves for awhile

[robust crypt]

i killed the chat

[hazy raven]

Lol. What do you mean by organize shops?

[robust crypt]

where do u place and decorate them

[woven drift]

I finally did my museum area

[hazy raven]

My museum area is plain

[woven drift]

I made mine pretty clutter core

[hazy raven]

My shops are at the front connected to my urban street walk

[robust crypt]

i have my museum set up but i havent moved it

[hazy raven]

Lemme see if I can find a pic

[woven drift]

my nook shop is on a cliff behind resident services and my ables is on the beach

[robust crypt]

my nooks and ables are next to eachother

they are on the hills below my house and village

[hazy raven]

Mine are close to each other too

[woven drift]

ah I really like the spread out look

[hazy raven]

My teraforming is actually not that good. Mostly flat

But it allows me to make big spread out projects

[robust crypt]

i hate my island but i also cant blame myself because im still trying to make it look good

acnh makes making ur island literally

[woven drift]

my island is vary terraformed I really like that look

[robust crypt]

some ppl hire others to make their island but i feel like that destroys the point of the game but im gona stop there since this isnt the right channel

[woven drift]

yeah

Because you cant really say you made your island then

[robust crypt]

ye

should i keep this or turn it into a rock garden?

[woven drift]

maybe it looks good

[jagged sapphire]

rock garden

[robust crypt]

mmmm

alr

[jagged sapphire]

i love rock gardens they look so good

[hazy raven]

@robust crypt turn it to a rock garden :)

It just looks incomplete like that

[fiery tendon]

I'm working on a little flower garden for Francine... starting to run out of ideas

[robust crypt]

i think the reason my island making is taking so long is bc the 2nd player does nothing to the island

[fiery tendon]

Sorry it's very WIP

[robust crypt]

bye

yall need to stop being good at something for once

[hazy raven]

@fiery tendon maybe add some bushes :)

[fiery tendon]

been waiting for leif for a few days

but i only started this grove this morning

[robust crypt]

leif hasnt been here in 5 days

im worried

[woven drift]

why?

[robust crypt]

custom paths are annyoing

i can never pick something up

and i have to get the whole app out for that single scratch

[hazy raven]

They are annoying

[robust crypt]

whyd u edit ur msg lol

[hazy raven]

I didn't mean to edit it lol. Looks I edited a past message by mistake and then I just deleted it

[robust crypt]

oh

thoughts? what can i add or fix

[woven drift]

So pretty colors

[robust crypt]

dam

[woven drift]

Such* pretty colors. Sorry can't spell

[hazy raven]

@robust crypt I know you're waiting for leif, but bushes ...XD. at least along the cliff walls to help hide some of the cliffs. Street lamps? I dunno what theme you're going for, but if this is a city/urban environment then street lamps or ulility poles would be good.

[earnest frost]

Does anyone have images of simple parks in front of a museum? I saw a picture on reddit I think last week but I can't find it now

[hazy raven]

@earnest frost try pinterest. They have a lot of good images

[robust crypt]

[olive mantle]

Nice

I just started

[hazy raven]

@robust crypt ideas for front of nook: barrels, cardboard boxes, bike rack, gardon wagon, market stalls for magazines, plants, or other furniture goods, the horsie ridey thing

[robust crypt]

i already put an ironwood cart with the hot stuff in the shop-

i was redoing the pathway n forgot to put it back
