Starting Island Layouts from Official AC Twitter Accounts

[pichupal]

Hey everyone! I stitched together all the layouts posted from the various language official twitters today. We all know terraforming is a thing, but maybe you don't want to make many changes, want an island you can work with while waiting, or just want some inspiration! The heart shaped lake and a lot of the islands (on your island, so double island???) give me ideas. Hope you enjoy!

I sorted them by where the river outlets are, just in case those are something we won't be able to change.

Edit: Important Notes:

• I use the word outlet in the picture, but I mean the mouth of the river, or where the river meets the ocean.
• These are all RANDOMIZED maps layouts. There will be more options then these, but we'll be seeing them four at a time. Consider focusing on specific features on each map you might like.
• Every map has a dock on the opposite side of the East/West mouth (or random in double south). As an example, the west mouth set-up will have a dock on the east beach.
• Residential Services and the airport are always in your starting area, which is enclosed by the two rivers.
• The starting area can have no cliffs
• Each map has a small islet of land sticking out over the beach
• Every north secret beach is always blocked/connected to the second or third tier

Edit 2: Setups I missed from the Dutch and German accounts:

Very helpful and what everyone was looking for, thanks!

 

[Khaelis]

Hmmm... they all look great and can easily be worked into something fantastic looking, but the double south ones are looking the most appealing to me right now.

 

[Jhine7]

One in the double south outlet section (middle one) belongs in the west, still great job!

 

[Feraligator]

I like the west outlet maps, will definitely go for those. Maybe the east ones too since they're just the reverse but for some reason west appeals more. Maybe it's to do with naming my town Westwind lol

This is awesome! Thanks for putting this together!

I'll use terraforming some, but for the most part I don't want to deviate too much from the original layout of my island so this really helps me imagine the possibilities!

I'm particularly loving the maps with the circular rivers that make a little island within the island.

 

[Amilee]

wow some of those rivers look wild lol
i will def do an island inside my island haha

 

[Byebi]

thanks for compiling this together!

I wonder if youre able to change where the start of a river is.
Dont think ill be going for any of the east/west rivers because i feel like they dont look as nice but. i also dont wanna reroll too much so we'll see

[Byebi]

it looks like this one is misplaced though!

This is the type of content I come here to see, great work! The water sections in the bottom right "West" column seem questionable by design.

 

[JKDOS]

Some of those look good

LOL, I was thinking the same

Thank you for this. Hadn't thought about tbeaps before, but I'm definitely picking a west outlet layout.

 

[Bluebellie]

These looks little weird.
It will take some time for me to get used to these new maps. Definitely don?t look like the new leaf ones, but that?s ok, since eventually I?ll be able to terraform it to my liking

 

[Romaki]

Thanks for posting these! I wish the residential area was exactly the middle point of a map, but I guess I'll have to go with it being in the lower middle.

Honestly, I think its because the island is quite large compared to other games. I think it terms of acres, New Horizons is 6 by 7.

Granted, the edges of the island are 'half' acres as they're beaches.

 

[Fey]

Wow, I can?t express how thankful I am! I was literally just yesterday thinking about how I wished there was an overview like this, and I?m so glad someone actually put the effort into making one. 1000 thanks! ♥

Thanks for this. I'm thinking of having a sort of fishing village/harbour in the bottom right of my island. So I'm hoping to start with an island that at least has a river (and maybe a lake) over at the bottom right.
