Island Feedback and Showcase Thread

Took a peek at the room in question. I do feel inclined to say it doesn't feel like it pops quite as much as the other rooms. I'm thinking the main issue is how little pink there is compared to the wood colours + white. Because the pink is so soft to begin with it already doesn't pop out that much and having so little of it adds to the problem. I do think the retro flower motif is really cool looking. It just needs something more to go with it.

I also noticed that the walls in this room are pretty empty compared to your other rooms. Maybe you could try to find some pink shade wall items? I think there's at least a pink bathrobe/towel clothing item you could hang on the wall.

I went through the pink tag on Nookplaza to look at items that you could see in a bathroom. Items in spoiler. Maybe picking out some of these could balance your room out more.

These were just my two cents on your bathroom. Make of it what you will!​

Wow. Thank you. Great advice.
 
I have been playing around with ideas and Tysm for all the wonderful suggestions 💜 so much creativity 😍

I will work on this but so far I think it’s quite cute. I would love to say I was inspired but I hope @jadetine doesn’t mind that I copied her look as I loved it 💜

I really love how this looks! Super cozy and light, a good place for a nap lol :)
 
how does my penny storage room look? for my future island for my oc, penny.... cause as for me, i think it's looking great :3 ... only thing is i've only got room left on the walls in both rooms...

& i've had to put the loom outside cause it's so big...
 
Okay, this thread is a few days old, but I've more or less finished and wanted to share the pics:

I may still tweak some things (like the little 'stepping stone' squares in the river) but I think it's mostly done! I want to thank everyone for the advice, I LOVE how it turned out 🤩
 
You’re welcome!

About the coconut tree...hmm...it does look slightly off cutting through a picnic blanket, but there’s not a lot of good furniture with shading. A stall could protect them from the rain, but it’ll also look off.

You could place the coconut tree on rainy days and remove it afterwards.

i think i've decided that i might want part of my island... if not all of my island, to have elements of cardcaptors..

but i don't know how to do that with the cliffs there... i want to rip them down, but that'll take a lot of time & effort
i also know that i might want to move my house somewhere...


i think i'll have to watch the episodes again to get better of the ideas... *which i am*
shopping district
sakura's house
*i mean the nice placement it has :3 * i'll not be changing my interier of my house, though :>
penguin park
tomoyo's house
syaoran's apartment

i guess it would be called cardcaptors city/cottagecore...

Would be great if you could flip one of the old style rockets on its side to where it looks like it crashed. That would look really neat next to everything. You can get the Space Shuttle in a DIY that lays flat, but I think putting that out would be in poor taste.
 
I just moved a villager’s house and expanded the cliff to make room for my next possible project (building another cliff on top of this is something I am considering since I want to out the sanrio bridge by the entrance of my wano (one piece) inspired area.

I am really unhappy with my terraforming and was wondering if anyone had suggestions. I was thinking of trying to make a bath house (I want it to resemble the one in one piece but can’t find good references, so may wing it) but I want something about it stand out from every bath house. The problem here is maybe the spacing and the weird shape from terraforming. I was thinking of maybe making it indoors, but I liked the idea of making it outdoors and planting some bamboo (even though I don’t remember if there were any in the anime 🤔).

I also had to adjust the river a little.

This area is probably not necessary but idk where else to put my fruit trees. when i adjust the river from one side i always try to adjust the other side but can’t do much with the trees here.

I think maybe mixing the bamboo with some of the different garden rocks would look good (perhaps some of the bonsai mixed in too), and give it more of a natural onsen feel. The bamboo fence and zen fence also would fit well imo. (Though I have not seen one piece so cannot help with that I have seen and been to several onsen!) [edit- I don’t meant to sound snotty, just meant to say I am kind of clueless but hopefully not so clueless as to make my advice totally pointless]

as for your river area, I think it looks just fine! I always hate having to narrow my river too much just to accommodate my designs (but have done it several times). If the river is narrow there the trees really hide it, and you kept the river looking natural and not too squared off! It even might be a bonus to have a little hidden narrow spot that lets you hop across the river as a short cut 😉

sorry I can’t be more helpful, maybe I should finally watch one piece! But I can’t wait to see how your area (and island) develops!

I was thinking of getting back into New Horizons and I was thinking about how back when I used to play New leaf I had this town filled with trees flowers and beautiful paths. I used houses and characters with a wide variety of themes and symbolism based on things I have read or seen but also from my huge imagination. For example there was one house I made where the main room is supposed look like a laboratory but the rest of the rooms have a nursery room in the back complete with toys and a children's bed I also used a music box that played k.k lullaby. The other ones have a funeral themed room with a villager portrait of Biskit where stuffed animals can be seen looking at the urn right next to his portrait suggesting he died.
There was a room supposed to look like the player is visiting heaven complete with benches and a mask of truth in the front of the room and a bird bath which is supposed to resemble the font during a baptism.
There were several other houses that had these nursery rooms as well.
Probably the most depressing thing I was planning to do but never got to finish was to add a graveyard in the basement of the houses were the children who died are buried and this is why I included all the nurseries because it's supposed to represent the beginning of life and the graveyard is supposed to symbolise the end of life.

Also one of the characters I created wears a PJ and a halo on his head suggesting he is an angel of somebody who passed away as a child. I did also make another house with a dark and grim story about how they died which is not something I am going to cover here because I would break the rules by doing so. I also included little messages around the town like "God is watching you" and some of the characters saying odd and disturbing things in swedish similar to how Aika village included messages in japanese saying "I love my mommy" .
Given that new horizons does not have nearly as much furniture as in New leaf I really have to get creative and use the closest furniture I could possibly find to what I used in New leaf. I really want to create that balance of sheer natural beauty but having a ton of tragic and sad themes featured in the houses and also some on the outside and I could probably even find some new ideas to add to my existing one.

One idea that I got from the top of my head right now is to include a room that features a lot of spinning coloured wheels with a theme of something that is obsessed over excessively like aquarium fish or computers and this would function as a way to portray a character who has autism(I have aspergers and I always wanted to make an autistic character in my town but I never got around to actually doing it and I have ichtyology aka fish biology and all things tech related as my main interests).

To summarize my idea it's that it will be a portrayal of my inner thoughts feelings and ideas in animal crossing form.

What do you think of this?
