i want to put a post office somewhere... but i don't know where to put it

i thought of putting it here... View attachment 377914

but i don't know

also, i thought about putting my candy shop & plush shop where my star-wishing area is & move my stargazing area over some... but, again, i don't know.. then i'd need to remove my bamboo grove... it looks like there's a LOT of space for them, though :> then i could make a ravine or a path or something, going to the secret beach ... & do something else with the bamboo...

i don't know what to do

DA is in my sig

also... i learned that i can't turn or move my mailbox backwards or forwards... well, that stinks...

Hey. I took a look at your island again. To tear down your star wishing area and bamboo grove...that's quite a big step. Well, you're right that the star gazing area could fit the candy shop and plush shop, although they would both have be on the small-medium size.

I looked around and here are some areas that I thought would look neat having a candy shop.

Do you have the right side of this eating area reserved for anything? You could place a small candy kiosk/stall here with a "candy shelf" panel in the background facing towards the west or south.

Another location for a candy stall could be where my character is standing....

What about here? Again, it would have to be small...and it might be tedious when you lay down a path or stepping stones, but I think that it'll look wonderful if you do get it right.

The location for the postal area seems fine to me. In fact, the left side of your map has a lot of open space. Depending on how big you make your post office, you could place a plush shop next to it if there's enough space.


Are you going to place your camping area or star gazing area here? If so, I think that it'll look nice with your Cardcaptor hangout area.

Finally, here are some Pinterest stuff that I found for you. Hopefully they will be of some use.

Cave idea, it's a bit shallow but you can open the area up by adding more panels.

Hello everyone! I need your help I am somewhat unsure about my mountain top idea.

I have a forestcore island and one of the first things I built was the forced perspective forest. It should give some kind of reward after getting on top.

Yesterday I got some ideas - it's usual to have some hut on mountain trails to rest and stuff and I needed space for one villager. So I thought a villager would be a good idea to place there to have some sort of mountain cabin to rest (the exterior will be a log hut).

Okay here is the point - the resting area. It looks a little bit boring. I tried a snackautomar but they are not common on a mountain haha It really should go along with the forestcore theme but man it looks somewhat boring! I made a sheep meadow below thought it will be cute. Honestly in game it looks better somehow xD

I will attach some.pictures - really be honest please. I need some feedback to change stuff and make it better

Sorry for mistakes - english is not my first language


Aaaand finally if someone wants to see the town: DA-3470-3239-5730 (need help with the outside of the house; duck pond)

well... i wasn't thinking of putting the star-gazing area here as i was going to move it to where to bamboo grove is... but it would look rather nice there, looking over the ocean :3

& as for the campsite, i was planning on putting it onto the beach.. as i want to make that cardcaptors shrine where it is.... & i quite like the twitter shrine inspo ^^ & i'm gonna have a look at the speedbuild video :3
pics of the cardcaptors shrine :3 - https://lmk.suppi.net/tsukimine-shrine.php

the 3rd picture option looks really good for the candy shop ^^ though, it's near my house, on the other side of the bridge, but, then again, it'd be just a short walk to & from the cinnamoroll cafe to there :3

Sorry about that. I'll try linking them again. Cave idea. Tiny shrine area.

Actually, I'll just insert the pics here as well. Just in case the links don't work.

I'm totally gonna use that cave idea. I got the perfect place for it

Hey guys! So my island is nowhere near done, but I've been slowly working on it for a while (crazy perfectionist) I'm looking for some brutally honest constructive criticism. My husband is a tad biased I think.

I don't know if I fall under one specific theme, I just tried to make somewhere I'd genuinely want to live/think is pretty. I'm wondering how others think the overall effect is, if it's too much, not enough, if there's other items or ideas that would work better for my vibe.... etc.

I made my first dream address: DA-6934-2803-7401 it's very under construction, but I hope someone will check it out!

Gave this a visit and I LOVE your island! I can honestly say I don't think I've visited another island quite like it. I definitely don't think your island is "too much", I think most of the island is what I would consider just enough a few places that could still use some more. One thing for sort of everywhere around the island is I think using the item "cherry-blossom-petal pile" throughout the island would really compliment the flower petal boarder on the paths.

One area that I think needs more is the orchard, I think you could add in some more farming related items here, maybe the cardboard boxes in the fruit designs outside of each little tree area? A placed shovel or watering can also can look really cute in a farm area, maybe some bee hive boxes? Just giving ideas.

My only other thoughts would be I think the campsite area could benefit from having some sort of fencing around it. It feels very out in the open currently. Also very interested to see what you would do with the right side beaches I think you have some really cool beach rocks to work with.

Sounds like a good idea.

starting tomorrow (29/5/21), i think i'll try TT'ing again, 1 day at a time, forward & then back a day from that day, so i can get stuff done faster :3

 

[. Rarity .]

Do be afraid to go back a month, just be care full about events, and birthdays if you do. Just so you dont go into the next month

I mean to the start of the current month

Good luck! Let me know if you ever need any orderable furniture. I think that I have a complete catalog.

i think i might either scrap the mini-golf idea, because i need room for the path to the shrine, or make it smaller, so i can delete some of of the mini-golf custom designs...

I need some food stall ideas. Feel free to post pictures or write them out. I’m working on a farmers market area or food coart sort of thing, and the area is mostly done. I added two more stall though, and I can’t think of anything.

The area is next to the museum. I was thinking of doing museum stalls, but that just isn’t working out.

I agree. It looks like the mini-golf might get in the way of the entrance to the shrine. If you still like the mini-golf, then I say make it smaller.

Hello,

I’m struggling a bit to make some decisions on my second level. I have a few different things going on and I can’t decide whether to make the level more cohesive, make it flow better, or whether it works at all.

Spoiler: References/ questions

This are in particular I am torn on. I like how it looks, but also think it does not make a lot of sense and the yellow and white flowers seem a little basic.

2.

I have this transitional space, and am not sure what to do with it

3.

I have this weird mushroom forest below where I have now moved deirdre’s house is. Still adding more flowers and bushes. Not sure it is makes sense and feel something is missing, maybe paths/ custom designs.

4.

Opposite the area in the first pic I have this Japanese-y/ asiany area, which I feel works really well (though I need to clean up the lily of the valleys) should I extend this Asian theme across the whole second level? Or at least incorporate it so that it all feel more cohesive?

6.

This is the third level, but I feel it is the ‘best’ area of my island. So I guess just providing for reference.

7.

the last part of my second level. This was the first area on my island I really designed and liked, and has not changed much since then, so probably needs an update.

8.

my map with DA - which is 2 or three months old, but still close to what my island looks like now. Ish

Anyway, thanks for any help anyone has to offer. Can’t promise to actually follow through on any recommendations, but I would really appreciate some outside opinions.

 

[bestfriendsally]

I agree. It looks like the mini-golf might get in the way of the entrance to the shrine. If you still like the mini-golf, then I say make it smaller.

i think i'll scrap it altogether... cause no one's gonna play it if it's that small... i mean, look *well... noone will anyway, but still * -

& i'm gonna move my campsite over to this spot on the beach when i feel like it -

i mapped it out so i know how big it is for the beach...
& i think i'll put the star-gazing area next to it on the grass.... cause i think i want to put a laundremat next to the able sisters ... :>

The area is next to the museum. I was thinking of doing museum stalls, but that just isn’t working out.

I'm going to list the food items that I remember being sold at my local farmer's market. I remember a stall selling honey, a stall selling pastries, lots of BBQ and a stall selling beverages and slushies. There's a bar nearby, so people were hanging out in the bar's patio as well.

Oh, I remember people selling popcorn and cotton candy as well.

Here are some ACNH pictures that I've found online.

Beware, that the fence on the bottom appears to have been hacked in.
