🌺 Island of Maui 🌺 DREAM ADDRESS RELEASED

[sleepydreepy]

June 9, 2020

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

Another day, another floral skirt.

​

Today was a really awesome day on Maui! Recently I've been talking about having troubles with "the Villas" neighborhood but today I finally got it just the way I want it! It's such a great feeling to see it all come together. I'm so glad I took the chance to elevate this area instead of settling for "just fine." The only thing I have left to do (besides wait for new stairs to be built) is move a wall (and everything against that wall) back one or two tiles, which is going to be just as tedious as it sounds. But that will be a project for another day since I'm gonna take a break from that area for a bit and let the new landscape sink in. Thankfully this shouldn't alter any pictures, so once the stairs are built I will hopefully be featuring the Villas in tomorrow's entry! I will give you a sneak preview of it today since I'm just so excited.

​

I also ended up revamping the Museum's Restaurant, oops!

Spoiler: picture

​

The thing that was "missing" from the old Villas layout was that it needed more furniture items. I also talked about being burdened by the need for it to be a "perfectly landscaped area" and struggle with symmetry, but I found that once I let that go I was able to make it like the rest of my island and it just "flowed." I'm not sure that sentence will make sense to anyone other than me, but w/e. One last note for today's post- I've been thinking a lot about Redd and his artwork, especially his statues. I'm frustrated he hasn't visited my island very often because there are so many cool statues (and some paintings) that would be so cool on my island. I'm worried that I'm gonna find layouts for areas that I really like that once I get cool artwork, I'm not gonna want to change. But perhaps I will find a place for them elsewhere on my island. No use worrying about that now, I guess.

Anyways, I'm gonna try to see if I can add something to make my previous entry less sad looking compared to the others, so I'll be here editing for a bit xx

I'm looking forward to seeing the completed villas! Also those shoes were for sale on my island today. I bought every color they had. It's great finally getting some sandal options now that it's officially summer.

Nice restaurant! The cabana lamp matches the iron garden table unexpectedly well.

It's raining again and not the cute light grey rain either, the gloomy dark heavy rain. I normally don't mind this, but now that I'm taking new pictures everyday it's really inconvenient! So no Villa pics today
I wore my rain outfit again all day (its a wand outfit) but decided to at least change my outfit underneath so here is what I came up with, even though I didn't really get to see it.

​

After talking about Redd and his artwork yesterday, I decided to buy a few statues online. Tonight I'll look at the list of paintings and try to buy a few of those too. I am especially excited to incorporate the rock head statue on my island! I saw this suuuuper cool island tour video the other day where someone made this really cool temple area in the middle of a jungle which inspired me. I want to do something similar on the new mini island area I created recently. I'll have to keep thinking about it, especially since I have no more stairs left, and I would have ideally made it multi level with some stone stairs. Here is a link if you're interested, I highly recommend watching!

I didn't really do much else today. Like I said I was planning on taking pictures but the heavy rain ruined my plans. Besides my dailies I transplanted a few of my flowers and caught some fish. I finally caught a piranha and visited the fish exhibit to admire my collection and bumped into Snake! He was so cute looking at all the fishies I had to take some pics.

​

It's so exciting to fill up my encyclopedia and museum! In New Leaf I caught all the bugs, but I never finished catching the fish. The river fish were my main problem, but thankfully I've had pretty good luck with them in this game. Well, I think thats all for today, I don't really have anything else to report on except my frustration at the weather, so see y'all tomorrow for ~hopefully~ the Villas feature post!!

Prepare yourself my dudes for a super long post...

No OOTD today because I wore the same outfit I picked out yesterday that I didn't get to appreciate because of the rain. It's probably for the best anyways since I'm gonna include a lot of pics in this post. I'm gonna try my best to keep this as short and to the point as possible because its a lot to explain and I don't want anyone to get confused!

First I'lll start by saying my vacation in Hawaii has (obviously) been my main inspiration for my NH island. I didn't stay at a "fancy" resort, but it was still a "resort" so the landscaping was really beautiful. It was my first time staying at a place like this, and I guess I can explain it the best by comparing it to a college campus. There were about 3 different hotel buildings spread out across the resort property. There were multiple restaurants, pools, and a "lagoon" which was the main beach area (there was no traditional beach area). Anyways I'm in danger of going off on a long tangent, so what I'm trying to say is, all these amenities were connected by paths surrounded by nature. It was a very pleasantly landscaped place that wasn't too high class, and mixed nature and man-made structures really well, and I knew I wanted to do something similar on my animal crossing island which would not only look nice but remind me of my time in Hawaii.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

☀ The Villas ☀
(part 1)

"The Villas" is the resort area of my island. Four villagers live here and enjoy the various amenities it offers. There are two entrances, one is to the right of the museum on the second floor (above), and the other is on the first floor within the museum restaurant. We are going to start on the second floor, and journey up to the third floor, and the next post will show the rest of the second floor and the entrance on the first floor. Be sure to take a look at bonus pictures inside all the spoilers below!

----------------------

Continuing right of the museum past the campfire area (not pictured) is another community space featuring a marimba and go board by a pond.

Spoiler: picture of go board and pond

----------------------

Then going up the log stairs is the community pool and entrance to Snake and Tom's living area.

Spoiler: pictures of community pool & entrance to tom and snake's area

----------------------

The first thing you see when you walk through the zen fencing is the rock garden (in the spoiler below). Snake's house is not too far away on the left (above). You can check out Snake's feature post if you want to see a couple more pictures of this area!

Spoiler: picture of rock garden from previous post

----------------------

Next we have Tom's house and the Northern Lighthouse. (Side note, I'm planning on replacing the yellow lighthouse with the dark brick one soon!) He was doing some stretches outside his house and I felt bad pushing him out of view, so here he is standing awkwardly outside his door. He doesn't have a door decoration yet, but I am working on finding him the perfect one! Continue to the next post to see Flora and Sylvana's house.

In part one we left off exploring the third floor of the Villas. Now going back down to the second floor, we continue towards the back to Flora's house.

Spoiler: far away picture of Flora's house

----------------------

Here is an up close picture of her house and her yard. She loves to sit on her iron garden bench and read, sun bath, or just admire the waterfall near her house!

----------------------

On the other side of the zen fence on the left is Sylvana's house. Sylvana also has a great sitting area on her swinging bench, and zen cushion under a palm tree. In the spoiler below I'll show you another angle of her house leading down to our final stop, the museum restaurant.

Spoiler: picture of Sylvana's house at a different angle

----------------------

Lastly, here is the second log staircase in the Villas that lead down to the Museum Restaurant, which connects to the Museum Gardens via another set of stairs on the left side. I'll save those pictures for another day!​

I hope you enjoyed these pictures of one of my favorite areas on my island! It was no easy feat, and after redoing this space a million times I finally got it perfect. Taking pictures of this large area was also kind of hard, since I wanted to make sure you could picture the space! Of course, there are a few minor things I need to tweak, but as I mentioned in a previous post, I'm going to take a break from this area for a while and let its new layout really sink in. See you guys in tomorrow's post!

Guy I found the coolest qr pattens!!!!
Quick OOTD before I show u some pics of what I did today. Side note it was raining off and on today, so I was mostly wearing my raincoat again but w/e.

​

Ok so I've done a lot since my last post. I decorated the empty mini island on the lefthand side of my map and made it into a "ruins" area. In my last post I explained that I based a lot of my island on my irl experience in Hawaii, but my island is also influenced a lot by the tv show LOST. I coincidentally was watching this show for the first time the summer that I went to Hawaii which was really cool because the show was filmed in Hawaii. Anyways, I really love that show and think about it a lot when designing my island. The Villas is obviously suppose to have more of a resort feel, but I wanted the rest of my island to be more "jungle-y" like how Hawaii is presented in LOST (with some Japanese undertones as a nod to the developers of the game). I was having trouble expressing that until I found the perfect custom patterns online a couple days ago. I mixed and matched designs from different creators and I am really excited about how they look so far on my island. I'll show you an example of what I'm doing in the picture below. Keep in mind this is just a draft and is subject to change.

Here you can see the awesome patterns I am talking about. (This is the rural area near my house and Diva's house, far away from the Villas.) I am absolutely in love with how they look and I feel it is the perfect detailing for my island. While I like the way it is here, I was considering adding the dark dirt path underneath in some areas as splotches of dirt or mud to make it look even more jungle-y. I'm going to have to think more on how I can have this messier look coexist with areas like the Villas that are very landscaped and clean (which I do not intend on changing). I just need to make sure it all makes sense together.


I really like how these paths are taking my island to the next level. Adding details like this as an extra layer to your island really makes it pop. Stuff like this reminds me how much I love this game and how fun it is to create!!!!!!

Because this post is a day late, I think I'm going to end it here, and then in the next post I'll talk more about the new Ruins area with some pictures. Spoiler alert, it is raining again, but this time I won't let that stop me from taking pics

I am obsessed with these new custom paths like y'all dont even kno....

​

Questionable OOTD today. It's raining for the umpteenth time in a row (as my snooty villagers use to say in NL) but I didn't want to wear my raincoat again so I gave myself some boots and a hat to stay dry. Jokes on me because it stopped raining at 1pm, but I didn't feel like changing into something else so here we are.

Last night in a creative rage I spread my new paths all around my island. Today I spent my time cleaning some of it up and making it blend well with the rest of my island. I then started thinking about a few areas that I'm on the fence about whether or not I'm satisfied with them. One area in particular is the Luau stage, which I guess is first new project #1. I did something really creative that looks really cool, but something about it just feels off. I kind of want to move it to the other side of my island where the public beach was or further north where the waterfall system is. Project #2 will be an ongoing project of finalizing the jungle pathways (and possibly adding the dark dirt underneath in some areas). Lastly Project #3 is the big one. I desperately need to get rid of my extra hybrids that are overtaking the remaining undeveloped area in the northwest corner of my map. So I'm going to be doing a lot of thinking on how I can sell/give them away on this website. I suppose I'll post some pics of the new Ruins area since this post is a little bare. I'm a little hesitant because I'm not 100% sure I'm done with the area, but I think its ok for now.

These pictures were taken over the course of a couple days and thats why the weather, time of day, and my outfits are different.

S o the ruins area- here it is. This area was mainly inspired by the Temple in the tv show LOST, but I was also inspired by an island tour I saw recently that had an Indiana jones type temple in the jungle. I wanted to make my personal ruins area more like "ruins" rather than a complete temple for aesthetic reasons and also because I didn't want it directly associated with religion. Picture on the right is the view when you "look up" and the trees go away.​

I'm dying to expand the inside and give it a second floor via the stone staircase but alas, I'm out of stairs. In the back of my mind I'm considering demolishing a specific staircase and moving it here but....we'll see... That would have a big effect on a certain area I'll talk about later which could be good and bad lol. Anyways yeah I tried to make the terraforming look staggered and furniture incomplete to give it that dilapidated or "ruins" feel. I actually did most of it really quickly one night to just play with the idea but I ended up really liking it, and I hope y'all do too! xx

Can Huck get any cuter?? I think not

​

I look ugly today so no OOTD lol. Enjoy this pic of Huck instead. I'm literally such a mess today irl and in ac. I planned on taking pictures of the public beach and posting it because I fixed some stuff and now really like it, but when I was done taking pictures I ended up changing something minor and it looks way better but its night time and I can't take new pics. honestly tho its whatever so I think I'm just going to post the pictures anyways and then edit this post tomorrow with the updated pictures during the daytime. so here we go

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

☀ The Public Beach ☀

The public beach is located next to my house and the southern lighthouse. The name "the public beach" is pretty bland and basic and I plan on changing it later. So this is not going to be its official title, but its what I'm calling it for now. I wanted to do a traditional looking beach front that is colorful, messy, and crowded, as real life beaches usually are. I wasn't feeling it for a while, but I gave it a mini make over and I absolutely love it now! Thankfully its come together just in time for summer, and I can't wait to see my villagers using it!

I went all out with the colors and used the funnest, boldest color variations of furniture I could find. I also recently added my new qr pattern detailing which has really amped it up.

I made sure the intractable furniture items were accessible for my villagers to actually use. I have a cute video of Tom playing the ukulele and picture of Diva relaxing on the inflatable sofa bed, which I'll have to post another time!

Behind the public beach is a live music stage for my villagers to sing their hearts out. So far Snake has been its most frequented user, but I am a close second The path leads up to the southern lighthouse which I will feature in another post!​

A bonus pic in the spoiler below shows the path leading to Judy's house (ignore the random rock in the path lol I need to get rid of that). I wanted to include this pic because it shows one of my favorite items, the cosmos shower! I thought it would be so cute to have a little rinse off area for when you are done at the beach! Heehee

Spoiler: picture

I think I'm gonna split this area up into two posts again, and do the Southern Lighthouse in a separate post because I don't want this post to be super long! The Southern Lighthouse is really cool because its on its own special cliff, and there is a really pretty view of the un-named "locals" neighborhood! So stick around for that. Not sure if I'm gonna post it tonight or tomorrow but we'll see ✌

 

[An0nn]

Your new paths look amazing! They fit you theme wonderfully. When I first downloaded some custom paths I went completely crazy with them, stamping them all over my town in a style reminiscent of "five year-old given a sticker book". I had to go back the next day and remove like two thirds of them. I love how in the first post you show with your paths you have a sign centered on that leafy patch. Perfect!

I'm looking forward to the southern lighthouse

I'm back biddies.
Also idk why my character makes these faces when I'm trying to take pictures like I know its not my best look but its not that bad lmao

Here's my fit today. Fun fact- my sister and I nicknamed these pants the "traditional mope pants" (real name = traditional monpe pants), so I wore them today because its raining again and I am a lil pissed I can't take new pics. So I'm moping around my island in my traditional mope pants. Lol. Luckily for me though I took pictures of the lighthouse yesterday!

I didn't do much today on my island because I was feeling really tired irl. I take daily medication but missed a couple days by accident and must have messed my body up because I was just not feeling myself today. On AC I just did my dailies and then started rearranging my hybrids and getting them ready to sell online. Not very exciting stuff, I know, so I'll mainly be talking about the Southern Lighthouse today. Similar to the public beach, I took pictures (on the same day) and then changed one minor thing that night, and planned on taking new pics the next day (today), but the weather had other plans. I'll explain what I rearranged in the description under the pictures below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

☀ The Southern Lighthouse ☀

The Southern Lighthouse is located near my house and the public beach. I am really proud of this area because of its unique terraforming. I haven't seen anyone else do something like this, and randomly came up with this idea one day several weeks ago. I wanted to do a "lighthouse on a hill" similar to something I saw last summer in Kittery, Maine. My family was driving through the area on vacation, and we stopped to see this historical site near the ocean, and long story short it had some sort of an old house on a small hill with old stone steps leading up to the top. Honestly I didn't pay much attention to what the area was or what the house even was, but the concept stuck in my head and found its way into my animal crossing game. I really love how this area turned out, even though it used up two staircases!

So now we are getting into the area that I changed up after taking pictures. Basically I replaced the sunset pillow in front of the lighthouse with a bench and some accessories as you can see in the picture on the right. I wanted to take replacement pictures today, but its raining so I'll do that another time. Also I did change something in the last picture on the public beach (umbrella + added paths). But anyways, yeah here is the amazing view I was talking about!!!! This area overlooks Diva and Judy's house, and their shared outdoor spa area! I really love how this looks and I am so proud of it! ​

I also really wanted to show you guys pictures of my "front yard" area outside of my house! This area was blank for a long time, and after playing with a couple ideas I finally settled on something. But I'll save this area for my next post since I don't have anything else planned right now! xx

Wearing my front tie shirt again because who's gonna stop me!?!?

​

Answer: my villagers. Lol but real talk, have you ever worn the same thing two+ days in a row & your villagers come for you so hard like "I see your wearing your front tie shirt again" or "it seems you and that front tie shirt are inseparable" like let me liiiiiiiiive

It must be rainy/monsoon season or whatever because its been pouring for like three days in a row on my island. Honestly though I don't hate the rain, its just inconvenient for taking pictures. I just really wish it would thunderstorm because the lightning is so cool!

Spoiler: Mini rant lol

This morning Tom told me he has an large umbrella collection yet was given the boring black bat umbrella as his default by the game, so I decided he needed an upgrade. I gave him the tartan-check umbrella, which I love, because I felt like that was his vibe. But then I was playing AC with my sister and she saw the tartan-check umbrella in her Nook's store and started going off about how ugly it was lmao. Then Judy decided to roast me too by telling me that she didn't appreciate seeing my wasp sting yesterday and next time I get stung by a wasp I should put a paper bag over my head so I don't offend anyone. I think thats the meanest thing she's ever said to me lol. Honestly I think Winnie is a bad influence on everyone because her negative attitude has started to rub off on my normally sweet villagers. I mean all I can say is the moving bubble is being passed around and it has Winnie's name on it.

In other news, I didn't play much AC today because I'm preparing for the release of the Pokemon Sword/Shield expansion pass which I think is coming out tomorrow. There were a few things I wanted to finish up before starting the new content, so that took up most of my free time today. I feel like I've hit a point in New Horizons where I'm starting to wind down from the game, which is sad but also good since its been taking up so much of my time lol. Hopefully the expansion pass is legit and doesn't take a couple hours to complete because I'm hoping to use it to take a break from AC for a week or so. I will still go on to do my dailies but don't plan on doing anything major. I am by no means "done" with the game, just feel like I'm out of landscaping ideas at the moment and need a little break to clear my mind. (Watch me post this and then think of a cool major idea and not take a break at all lmao.) As for this journal, I will still be posting most likely because I still have other completed or mostly completed areas that I haven't shown you guys yet so my "break" shouldn't affect y'all at all, but I'll def let you know if anything changes.

ANYWAYs in today's post I'm gonna talk real quick about the outside of my house!

☀ My House pt. 2 ☀

I kept my private beach area pretty minimal on purpose (on the other side there is just a bonfire with stone chairs as you can see here in my house feature post). I really love the sand and the ocean in this game (and real life) so I didn't want to clutter my beach too much. As I mentioned earlier I kind of struggle at first with what to do with this area, but ultimately ended up decorating it as if it was real life. I am super happy with how it turned out, its so me, and I really do wish it was real lol. On the other side of the bamboo fence on the right is the public beach, which you can see in my previous post ​

That's all I have for you today, thanks for reading my ramblings and I hope you have a good rest of your day! <3

Super late post but thats ok!

So of course, after I posted my entry for yesterday where I talked about taking a break from ACNH, Winnie asked me to move. Naturally I said yes, and started gearing up for island hopping for Chester. This is the first time I island hop for one specific villager, and I am excited but a little scared lol. I spent most of my free time today mashing the A button on the ABD machine to convert my saved up miles into tickets.

Today I'll show you some pictures of the Oasis! Its raining again, but I took pictures anyways. Looking at this entry compared to the other ones confirms that lighting really does make a difference. Maybe one day when it stops raining I'll replace these pictures lmao.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Secret Oasis - a WIP

The Oasis is tucked away on the far right side of my map. It is essentially a cove I created on the first level by the ocean surrounded by cliffs. My inspiration for this area came from Ankha. I've always been fascinated with Ancient Egypt for some reason and ever since I saw Ankha in NL I knew I wanted her in my town, and I've also always wanted to create a special "Egyptian area" for her which wasn't really possible until now in NH. The hidden bamboo speakers are playing K.K. Bazaar.

Before her arrival to Maui I slowly started collecting items such as the pyramid and sphinx to go outside her new home. I tried a bunch of different layouts but ultimately settled for this one, at least for now. I'm about 80% satisfied with it haha.

The house on the right is Winnie's house, who will soon be moving. I'm really gonna miss her house exterior because it went with this area so well. Chester will hopefully be her replacement, and his house definitely will not look good here. I am most likely going to swap Chester and Flora's house out, so Flora will be Ankha's new neighbor.

​

Lastly, here is Ankha's fortune telling stall! You can also see their small dock, which I do plan on decorating a little bit with some sort of outdoor furniture. Also in the back is the entrance to the dig site, which I will be writing about soon!

Spoiler: picture

That's all for today, see you guys in the next post!

Aloha, Chester!

Today was pretty crazy. Also, yes, it was raining again. I think this is Day 4 or 5 of rain in a row? But I didn't let the weather dampen my spirits, and I island-hopped until I could island-hop no more. I spent an embarrassing amount of tickets on Chester. I was so determined to find him, that I not only used up all my miles on about 100 tickets, but I spend tbt to buy an additional 200 tickets! Combine this with the 70ish I spent a couple weeks ago when I was looking for him (but ended up inviting Snake instead) is....too many tickets lol. I literally spent so many hours in this game today; I was afraid of getting a void or random villager so I decided to do all my island hopping in one day. This journey finally ended around 2:30 in the morning when I was literally falling asleep island hopping and had about 60 tickets left. I stepped off the plane and finally saw my boy Chester waiting for me. I wish I had taken a picture, I don't know why this didn't occur to me until now!

​

When I had around 120 tickets left I came across Marcel, and honestly almost settled because at that point it was 11pm. Plus his house would look so good in the Oasis. But I then thought, I've come this far, I might as well keep going. I also saw Pekoe who was very tempting as well. She was so cute, and honestly she might even become a dreamy of mine. Look out Sylvana....

Anyways I'm a bit burnt out from AC, so no pictures at all today. BUT I will be posting pictures of CHESTER tomorrow when he arrives!!

edit: actually this post looks really sad with no pictures, so I'll add a basic google image picture of Chester!

The house on the right is Winnie's house, who will soon be moving. I'm really gonna miss her house exterior because it went with this area so well. Chester will hopefully be her replacement, and his house definitely will not look good here. I am most likely going to swap Chester and Flora's house out, so Flora will be Ankha's new neighbor.

​

Lastly, here is Ankha's fortune telling stall! You can also see their small dock, which I do plan on decorating a little bit with some sort of outdoor furniture. Also in the back is the entrance to the dig site, which I will be writing about soon!

That's all for today, see you guys in the next post!

This is so perfect for Ankha. I like that she even has her own little fortune telling stall.

Ok, confession time. So.....Chester has teeth.....

​

I don't wanna say I regret spending 300 NMT on him, but..... Ok no, I mean, he doesn't look that bad, right? Ha ha.... But seriously though, I don't wanna judge a book by its cover. We'll see if he passes the vibe check during the next couple weeks. Although, my mom walked in while I was playing on the TV and told me Chester looked like he was on drugs. Did I mention I passed up Raymond and Audie for him?

​

ANYWAYS I'm sure I'll grow to love him if he has a cute personality. After my intense island hopping session I obviously didn't play much AC today besides doing my dailies BUT I did take some pics of my dig site. I think I'm gonna save those for tomorrow though, and just leave you with my outfit today which really isn't my outfit. It's a wand outfit I have saved when I'm too lazy to pick an OOTD lol.

Today was pretty crazy. Also, yes, it was raining again. I think this is Day 4 or 5 of rain in a row?

It's also been raining all week in my town. So weird. It hardly rained at all last month and now this... Is it monsoon season or something?

Also, I love Chester's teef. I hope he grows on you
