Island Feedback and Showcase Thread

[Chris]

Terra-forming in ACNH is both a blessing and a headache. Sometimes people want an opinion on what to do with an empty space, opinions on where to place something, or just want a pat on the back for completing an area they've worked hard all week on. This is the space where you are free to post screenshots of your island and ask for specific feedback without it getting lost in-between people's pictures of villager birthday parties and funny costumes over in the Screenshot and Video Share Hub thread.

General notes:

• You are welcome to post screenshots.
• You are welcome to share your dream address in your post.
• To get the most helpful feedback it is good to be specific about what you are looking for.

Have fun and don't forget to wear a hardhat!

I guess I'll dust off this thread.

People with this peninsula shape, what have you done with yours? I'm at a total loss and can't seem to do anything with it due to how narrow it is. I have a different spot for my lighthouse so I don't want to do that. It barely fits on there anyway.

Ignore the tiny bit of terraforming on there, that was my last attempt which ended up with me more or less barricading the entire thing off out of frustration.​

If anyone has the time, and would like to, I would love some feedback on my main island. I'm considering remodeling it for the 3rd time but I'm not too sure. I keep seeing other peoples islands and they're so pretty, kinda feel like mine is a bit bland, but anyway, DA is below, if you'd like to take a look at Tarasaigh

I need some gothic island entryway ideas and inspo, please. I reset my island and was lucky to get an airport whose walkway is directly lined up with the center of the resident services plaza. There's also a fair amount of distance between the two, so there could be something cool there. The area is about 12 spaces wide and 14 spaces tall.

I wish I could post pics.

I would love some feedback on my houses. I made an apartment building for the npc's that live in town. I have rooms for...

Tom Nook and Timmy and Tommy
All three Able sisters
Blather
The Dal brothers
Isabelle.

I worked really hard on this and also would love some feedback on my other homes, which include...

A sunflower room
Groovy room
Fancy hotel
Southwestern kitchen, bathroom and living room
Bait and tackle shop
And there's lots more.

I also wouldn't mind feedback on the town. I have a big campsite and fishing area that I spent over a year perfecting, and the rest of the town is well decorated. It's colorful and fun.

Okay its been a full year since I made my island and I would love to hear what everyone thinks about it. I really was hesitated to do this but now I feel more open to hear feedback:

I've visited your town two times. I love the kingdom hearts patterns and the houses were fun too. Great town.

Is this thread just for exterior design only? Can interior designs be posted in here too?

The entrance is simple and pretty. I love it. The Japanese area is nice and I like the forced perspective of the lighthouse. The signs around town are great. I'm a huge fan of custom signs. House decor has always been my favorite to design and I love seeing what others do. I loved your rooms. My only complaint is that there aren't more rooms to explore. Nice job.

I like your island a lot for how spacious and open it is. However it does also have too much open space at the same time. There are some areas that don't seem to have anything in them. I think maybe they could benefit from putting down some flowers or custom designs.
I would also consider placing something between your trees in your orchard. I wouldnt go with something that blocks off moving between them, but maybe something like the log stakes in the middle of every 4 trees.

You also have some long empty pathways that lead to nowhere such as the left side down the river. I personally would try to form it into a route.

But don't feel your island is bland as I really liked it

(Disclaimer: I suck as design)

Visit the medieval island of exyrel! On the top of the island there is a huge castle across the whole area while the bottom part of the island is the medieval village. The main house (jasa) has now finally been updated. Hope you enjoy this extremely unique medieval island!

hi I am genuinely stumped as to what to put in this awkward empty space area. Flowers don't seem right. Can't put trees there because Isabelle will say my island is no longer gucci. Should I just leave it as is?? I am at a loss

Spoiler: 3 Screenshots + Map with circled area + DA

I've filled up some of my empty remaining areas with random things like a pottery class or flower shops or just a relaxing area with benches & things. This way I could also use up all my remaining items that I had no use for in my bigger builds

some Examples (not mine):

I like your town. It's well spaced out and not cluttered. If you would like to keep that theme going, then I would place a signpost or designation signpost in that intersection. That area looks residential, imo. Maybe even include some street lights, benches, shrubs and potted plants to make it look a bit more busy.

Maybe a cute picnic area (if you don’t have that already). I really love the attached picnic blankets as you can place them in an angle (they do take up more design slots though). I have also seen people make really nice dog parks and play grounds.

Thank you for the feedback! I will have to mess around with all your ideas I've been stumped for agesss

I'd love some feedback on my island! My DA is in my Signature. I've spent a lot of time on my island trying to make it look very nice and I'm wondering if I hit the mark, so to speak.

@Sheep Villager
You can always reserve that spot for private yoga lessons by yours truly in my many selection of beefy-man looks. But also, it might help if you explain island theme, mood, vibe, general idea of what your island consists of.

@TheRevienne
So I checked out your island and the general census was that it's a little bit of everything that leans more on the cute vibe(?) because you use a lot of iron garden furniture, fountains and swing sets.
These are kind of areas I decided to focus on:

1. I like the initial starting point of your entrance but then the horizon to the café/lounge area should be filled. Maybe not densely filled but I notice you like to decorate the edges and I think off-centering the furniture would help. I said play with the negative space so you don't have to clutter the area. It would help make it feel "full".
2. Museum area is definitely the focal point on your map but I don't think you need those benches. It's just tight and you could probably get away with more flowers there or something.
3. I liked the area circled in orange but it's kind of bumming that I dont have a ladder to explore. Maybe you could spread that kind of decorating design into your areas that feel empty. It was a really nice area from what I could see.

Then some tourist pictures I took for funsies.
