Retro AC-Throwback themed Islands

[T0mn00kd3f3nd3r]

Are there ANY New Horizons Islands that are very Much Modeled or themed around PAST Animal crossing games?

And While I've seen My Fair share of GAMECUBE-inspired Islands. . .(Wilbo & Mayor Mori's Islands for example)

I haven't really seen many islands themed after Wild World(DS) and/or City Folk(there is ONE that takes influence from GCN, WW, & City Folk By Wilbo), but I haven't seen any themed after New Leaf,

Have Any of You guys seen or Done Islands themed after Past Animal Crossing games; whether it be the 1st one/ Gamecube game; or even Up to New Leaf?

Let me know; I'd Really love to see more Islands that are throwbacks/references/inspired by Past Animal Crossing Games. . .

I've played all of the AC games released in English minus City Folk and amiibo Festival.

I don't have a whole island dedicated to the looks of previous games, but I do have an astronomy area (including Celeste sign!) for Celeste, inspired by her in Wild World. I don't remember what creator made the sign (it wasn't me) but it has Celeste and shows stars on it. I don't have a DA right now to share though, but that one aspect is tiny anyway.

Honestly; the Only 2 Animal Crossing games I've ever played are City Folk & New Horizons. . .

And Unfortunately while I D-I-D see a Video of an Island painstakingly modeled after the youtuber's New Leaf Town; I tried typing in the dream address in the video's description; It doesn't exist anymore; as Luna couldn't find it. . .

Been around the series for a loong time, I've played everything in English except for Pocket Camp (personally don't like smartphone games/my smartphone), and every mainline entry in Japanese except City Folk.

I believe there was someone on the forums a while ago that redid their island in a NL theme? I don't remember their name off the top of my head but I think they had an island journal for it??

I tried an island based off of my NL town for my second Switch but I quickly came to realise that I didn't have enough fondness, passion, or nostalgia for NL to put enough effort or heart into it.
So I bulldozed that island and rebuilt it as a completely DNM+/ACGC/DNMe+ themed island, based off of my very first childhood GC town, with a few creative liberties. I've drawn the dirt from scratch (though I really need to fix it), allowed only GC-era residents on the island, and only furniture and K.K. songs from that era are used. (so I'm actually unironically, non-meme, looking forward to Froggy Chair, heh)
I'm planning on using the HHP expansion to restore some villager's homes to their former glory as I rotate through them. (mainly Chow. Mostly Chow. Chow, I'm looking at you.)
It was a very fun limitation and I greatly enjoy upkeeping the island with these limitations. I don't have a dream address yet because I'm private/shy about my work, sorry!!

There's Only One Video I'm seen about a New Leaf Recreation in new Horizons and it's THIS One:

and Sadly; the Dream Address she had for her Island doesn't work anymore; I tried it immediately after watching the whole video. . .

Oh, I'm not one for YouTube, so I wouldn't have known. (sorry, I'm 'old') I could dig around and see if the journal's still around here, but I'm not 100% on that....

edit: aha! Found it!
Not quite sure if she's still got her island set up that way, since it's been over a year. I'm away from my Switch right now so I can't check

New Leaf was my first and my favorite and current AC game. I have played it EVERY day since at least as far back as 2017. I bought WW and CF because I thought that they should be good also. Compared to NL, they looked and played "clunky" and crude, so they languish on the shelf with all the rest of the "seemed like a good idea at the time" games. I only play NH every few days, mainly due to my disinterest in crafting and terraforming. I've only gone to one dream address and don't care about what other people have done because I'm old and cranky

I was able to access it; but I no longer see any AC: NL resemblance. . .

It was worth a try, sorry about that! I admittedly don't closely follow what TBT members do with their islands, it was just something I remembered from a while back.
The last time that journal was updated was over a year ago, so it's not surprising that an overhaul has happened since then!
I also demolished my ACNL themed island, but that's because I personally found I wasn't big on my ACNL town to begin with and didn't want to put in the effort to upkeep a passionless HD version!
(GC-era, on the other hand...)
I've also a third island (on a broken Switch) that started with a more themed theme: a locked 10 villagers, more terraforming and exterior decorating than I'm used to, more precision required. Needless to say I burned out on that one a month in, barely touch it, and I'm still trying to finish it up so I can generate a dream address and delete it at long last. Hopefully before the update.

Again, sorry about: A, the out-of-date island journal, and B, the wall of words!
