Island Feedback and Showcase Thread

[Bluebellie]

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.

Thank you! I decided to use the last two stalls for flowers! I wanted to use food ideas, but the flower works great as well!

Hey. I don't know if you've customized your simple panels yet, but I decided to test out how they would look. My area is smaller than the one on your island, so I only did one wall.

Spoiler: qr code you found

View attachment 377605
As you can see, the border of a panel is important. I think that the one that I'm using are the black and light grey versions.

If not, here are some of the ones that I found. What do you think?

#1 I like this the best, even though it's a bit dark.

#3 The panels are different because I tried and failed to connect the corners.

I'll see if I can find some more tonight.

i'm having a little bit of trouble arranging the simple panels... i've only been able to do this -

i can't do the corners very wall... either that or it's the rocks fault...

Don’t worry, I had trouble putting the panels on my rock when I was showing the qr codes to you.

Try moving the panels in the back 1 or 2 spaces inward. However, this will mean moving the zen stone down, possibly moving the bridge down, and buying a few more panels. Nonetheless, it should allow you connect the back wall to the left wall.

Keep in mind that the panels don’t connect neatly at the corners, unfortunately.

Creating walls for the bottom portion of the picture will be trickier because of the rock’s corners. If you do try to create a wall for this section, I would recommend removing the mario blocks or at least the one in the corner. I don’t know if panels can be place underneath it.

i just had a thought... i could put tall garden rocks in the spots where i can't get a simple panel in :>


& yeah, you can't put a panel underneath the floating blocks... :<

the simple panel looked rather awkward on its own in the other corner ... so i replaced it with my 2nd from last tall garden rock.... so i think the cave's finished :3

i want to give marina's yard a re-do... i mean, she's had these items for her yard, since she moved in... but i'm not sure what to give her... any ideas?

& yes, i moved marina's house to here... :>

 

[bestfriendsally]

my neighborhood.... it's somehow turned itself into a beach-side village... not that i'm disappointed with it turning out like that :3

it's the first time i actually put down a path and stuck with it... alright, there's the bridge paths that are still there, too :3

but... maybe i should move julian/lobo's house over here too, since once i move jakey/stitches house to wherever i want him to go, for the plush shop, he'll be all by himself...




*if you'd like to check it out in person, you can ^^ DA is in my sig... i feel like it's not done yet, though*

Here are some ideas.

Spoiler: Marina's house

One with shells
Another one with mostly shells
Beachy look
One that looks more like fairy-core
I like this one even though it's a bit too big for her yard.

ooh, i like the 2nd one ^^



i just had a thought though... maybe it'd be better to move her house over to where to libary is... which is next to her house & move the libary to where her house is... i think that'd make it easier to decorate, maybe... :>

Perhaps, it could work. A library by the beach does sound nice....Hmm...either way, I would say to sleep on it tonight, and decide tomorrow.

yeah, maybe you're right... :>

okay, i think i will decide tomorrow :3 i can't move her house to the beach temparelity tonight, anyway... since i've already moved bubbles/marshal's house :>


edit at 10:31 pm: i looked up ' libaries by the beach '... they actually do exist.. but not in the way that you'd think.... who knew?

 

[bestfriendsally]

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.
View attachment 378039

you know, i had a thought about removing the ramp that's going down into my bamboo grove & extending my current campsite area just a little bit & putting my star-gazing area near it... since i remember that the shrine area in a certain cardcaptors episode had a sort of fortune-telling pond place :3

i forget which episode it was, though.. when i get to the episode, i'll know :>



since i'm gonna be putting my shrine there, anyway :>

do you know what code that stone path is? :>

Oh, no. Sorry. It looks like they didn’t mention the qr code that they used. I hate it when people do that.

I can look for it later tonight. Just right now, because my family put me to babysit already.

I’m working on a few areas near my farm. I think they could use something not sure what.

honey stand

work shop

I found it, they posted the code in another subreddit. It’s MA-7404-1196-0223. They also said that the measurement of the area was about 13x9.

hii! I am by no means an expert but I think what they need is just a bit more in general, to make the space feel more dynamic.

for example with the fruit stand maybe add the fruit basket (I may have a spare recipe if you don’t have it, or can craft it for you) and maybe some of the fruit boxes (I have pear, apple and cherry if you want any) maybe the infused water dispenser?

another thing that could work there is for the fruit stand to also maybe have a little juice bar - you could incorporate a cutting board and blender and maybe a coconut drink or two (maybe the st Patrick’s day drink would work too?), and it would also be a chance to put a little table or two (or maybe the diner counter table). A festivale umbrella might look good there too (since this is on the beach after all it just seems like it needs to feel a little beachy) - though I know that may be a little too tropical for what you are going for.

For the honey stand, personally it would make more sense to me located on the grass. Among the trees or on the other side. You could add a wasp hive (though those don’t look much like honeycomb, maybe a custom hat trick of some type would be better?) maybe some candles would work there (unlit) as if they are beeswax candles? A honey bee model might be cute too?

For the work shop, perhaps you could mix in gardening tools? To make it feel more full and multi-purpose, you could place an axe or watering can and custom design a cushion to look like come kind of material for whatever you want to workshop to be working on. Or maybe the kettle tub would fit in somehow (it always looks less like a tub than some industrial contraption to me).

out of curiosity, is there a story on why the workshop in on the beach rocks? I think if so, incorporating that into the design would be a good way to make it feel natural, as if it fits into the broader ‘story’ of your island.

Not sure if any of that is helpful. What you have doesn’t look bad, not at all, but I think adding a few more varied items could help with filling in the spaces so that they feel more natural and like living locations.

Thank you for the suggestions. Your it does need more items. I forgot about the fruit boxes even though I had ordered them on my main island. The juice stand is a great idea. If I move the fruit stand to the left. I can put a small juice stand there. I want the workshop close to the farm and couldn’t figure out a better spot for it. Will have to work on that and the honey stand later.
changes to fruit stand area.
