Island Feedback and Showcase Thread

i was thinking of moving my house to where bubbles's house is cause i want to make something like this on my the penisula - cause it's so pretty ^^

& moving her house to where marshal's house is going to be...
it'll become his house anyway & i'll have to move it there, anyway...

& i'll move the orchard to where my house currently is.. i have 2 cherry trees here currently anyway :3
 
i was thinking... would it be weird to have both a cafe AND a diner, with blanche's house & pashmina's house?
Personally, I don’t find it weird. I have both Pashmina and Merengue in my town. However, if you would rather have only one eating spot, then that’s fine too.

i'd probably have both, & sit at one one time & the other, another time, swapping them, sitting at whichever i feel like, at the time :3
or maybe they really could share a eating/sitting spot :> cause i feel like i'm leaning towards cinnamonroll :>

& i'll move the orchard/pumpkin patch to where my house currently is.. i have 2 cherry trees here currently anyway :3 & there's lots of room :>
 
You're island is very nice! I could tell right away that you put many hours into it. The only suggests that I have are:

-In the carnival section by the beach, you could place a wooden deck qr code underneath the furniture so it'll look like a boardwalk.

-You make great use of paths and decorations....however, I found the wild flowers and weed scattered about to be too visually stimulating at times. I felt dizzy and claustrophobic at times. This could be a me problem, so I'll leave it to your discretion.

-In the large garden section with the fountain and flowers (I think they're tulips), perhaps you can use a different qr code for this area. That way it'll be distinguishable from the large rock path that you sometimes use.

Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful feedback!
 
Yes! The second picture is what I meant.

look what i did :3

Hey guys!! Long story short--I have a graveyard area (pictured below, also showing space available) but I want to change it up.

I was thinking of something inspired by the Mount Ormond resort area from the game Dead By Daylight. Obviously some things I can't do, like the ski lodge itself... but something that gives the same vibes! A good ol' run down, delinquent hang out area! 😂

I'm thinking of finding some custom designs for snow patched ground... Maybe a rusted barrel or two... But what else do you guys think will look good? Type of fencing? Trees?

Thanks in advanced for the help <3

Pics of the area/current graveyard:

I’m almost ready to update my dream address— just need a few more items and it’s good to go. I’m so proud of what it looks like right now, I know I can still do better but I’m not going to beat myself up about it. I’ll let the ideas come naturally.

Here’s a sneak peek! I really really love this picture, and I also love Bea ❤️
Any comments are welcome!

My airport is sorta close to Resident Services but its like all the way to the left side of the map, which I like because it gave me enough room to make the layout the way I wanted it to be.

I would recommend checking out some youtube compilation videos for some inspiration. I've seen multiple videos with a variety of islands showcasing entrances with very close, or odd, resident service placements. Hopefully that helps a bit! :)

That is cool, mines impossible to design & have no idea where to begin. I've tried searching everywhere but I can't find any designs close to the island I have

Thank you. I've watched quite a lot of the YouTube videos I just can't seem to find any with the same layout as mine. It is impossible to design & I've got no idea where to begin

Sorry for the late response. I was unexpectedly put to work yesterday, and am recovering from the Pfizer shot.

The first pic came out nice.(y) If later on you don't like the placement of the trees next to the blossom-viewing lamps, you could plant bushes instead and move the trees north. Another option would be to place potted plants.

i've gotten used to the trees being there, now :>
i like them there now :>

i think i will put some bushes beside the lamp nearest the bridge, actually, though :3
 
My apologies for not replying earlier. These last couple of days my headspace has been full and I've been struggling to find suggestions to give to you.

I checked out your DA. Unfortunately, my computer is having trouble uploading pictures, so I'll try my best to describe what I'm talking about. Moritz already commented about paths so I won't talk about that.


The Park
It's very cute! Good job! The only suggestion that I have for that area is to plant a few trees. Idk about you, but to me, a park without trees feels incomplete. Some spots that I think would look nice with a tree is the space between the 2 bushes and water fountain; and some planted alongside both garden lanterns.

The Third Layer Cliffs
I like what you've done with the bathhouse area thus far. It would be a shame to destroy it. The stargazing area is nice as well. Overall, I would say that these areas look fine to me.

Recreating the Shopping District and Villager House Placement
You already have Nooks Cranny and Ables Sisters connected by a path and a staircase, so that's neat. Depending on how you use that space, you can turn that area into a two level district. Especially if you use some simple panels and/or stalls with those window qr codes or uses the dollhouses. Oh, maybe throw in a couple marketplace decorations.

However, I can already see some problems with this area. Some of the villagers that you intend to use as "landmarks" are too far away from each other. For example, Blanche lives next to the hot spring area which is on the other side of the map from your shops. Depending on how close you want to get to your references, will this distance be an issue for you?

Actually, now that I think about it, you didn't say if you were going to decorate the exterior of your villagers' houses as their assigned theme. So I may be getting too far ahead of myself.😅

In any case, I think that the small space to the left of the star gazing ramp will be a good area for a small shop. Here are some QR codes and links that I found.
Bookstore cafe- This one is bit too big for the area that I was talking about, but it reminded me of you for some reason. If you scroll down a bit, the user mentions the QR codes and items that they used. There's even a speed build video.

Shelf with stuffed animals- If you decide to make a toy store.

Potential location for Rudy's house
If Rudy is supposed to represent the art gallery, then perhaps you can put his house in front or near the museum. Unless you've already reserved that area for another project, I think that it would be an ideal spot for an art program because of how empty that spot currently is.

i was just thinking about how i want to do a build-a bear... then i thought of stitches... i had him in my WW town... i want him now... he's so cute ^^

I remember visiting a dream address with a very pretty fountain plaza in front of resident services. This is it.

There is also this youtube video showing off some entrances.

I have the same layout if you want to come take a look! My Dream address is DA-3224-8591-8784

However it is very much a work in progress, with only the layout done really. But any feedback is welcome and appreciated! (Only downside is I used “the path” so no layout on map)
