3 star Status (spoilers)

[BigZombieMonkey]

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I've currently reached the point where I need to reach the 3 star status but Isabelle keeps telling me I need more flowers and then she mentions more saplings. I honestly keep going between the two and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or what she actually wants me to do as no amount of flowers or saplings seem to help.

As someone who went from 2 stars straight to 4 stars after trying for 3+ days, trust me when I say don't listen to Isabelle's suggestions, they are just suggestions, and not helpful at all

Here's what you need to do or have

* 1x bridge
* 1x slope
* 8x villagers
* a few fences and DIY furniture
* a few flowers here and there.

Since I went from 2 to 4 stars, and the only difference was +1 slopes and +1 villagers, it may be argued that you can have 7x villagers as long as you have 1x slope, or the other way around, 0x slopes with 8x villagers.

The first few days I tried going from 2 to 3 stars while having 7x villagers and 0 slopes. I had placed about 300+ fences, and over 70 DIY furniture outside. Depleted nearly 100% of all my resources doing so, and for nothing. I also had placed over 200 flowers, though I unlocked a lot of achievements for the planting and watering of that amount.

8 villagers and no slopes works too. This is how I reached it yesterday. I've only built the first bridge and no infrastructure after that, though on the day before I placed a lot of furniture and all my remaining fences. I already had a lot of flowers (to get hybrids) and a lot of three (many fruit trees).

I kinda hinted at that, thanks for confirming.

i don't have a slope i feel like a loser, but good to know it's not a requirement. i'm hoping to get a 3 star tomorrow.

isabelle seems pretty happy with the island now, just needed that 8th villager.

When I added a bunch of hybrids to my town, i jumped from a 1 star to 2. When i got my 8th villager, I jumped to 3 stars. My town is also fairly decorated with fences and furniture. No bridges or inclines

I had a bunch of outdoor furniture, craftable items, fencing, flowers, and trees and I was still at 1 star. That was when I had 6 villagers. Each day I moved another villager in, I got another star... So I got 3 stars today. 8 villagers, two bridges, one incline. c:

Yeah, I saw that. Just wanted to confirm it for others, sorry if it sounded differently.

 

[FlimsyAxe]

I just went from two stars to three stars in the same day. Literally just do what Isabelle says.

When I had two stars, my island had at the time one bridge, fences, hybrid flowers, outdoor furniture, and Able Sisters. I got to three stars by crafting (or buying) even more furniture to place outside, recruited a villager from the mystery tour, and fully paid my second bridge. Kept checking with Isabelle while I was doing those until she got me to 3 stars.

No problem. I was speculating, so it's helpful that you were able to confirm.

Side note - I got to 3 stars yesterday without picking weeds at all (since I love them). I have a small amount of furniture, three bridges one incline and 8 villagers as of yesterday, lots of hybrids, around 1k weeds.

 

[Boccages]

Weeds do not factor in. I left my weed unscathed since I first landed on the deserted island and I unlocked the 3 stars rating with 1 bridge, 1 ramp and by decorating my town as I wished.
