What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

It’s still not midnight, so I have time to write.
Today I:

-Upgraded the house for my 4th permanent character named Tart.
-Gave her 2 mil. bells to get things moving along.
-Bought and customized most of the furniture for her house/shop.
-Caught some fireflies and turned them into models.
 
Today was the first time in a long time that I did some major terraforming in my villager neighbourhood. So far it’s looking really good and fills up some of the gaps without becoming too crowded. Whitney and Diana now have the prettiest areas in the villager neighbourhood… not that I’m showing favouritism towards them or anything. 🙈

So much time-traveling today. Managed to replace most of the villagers with my Amiibo ones. Only Alice is left... oof, poor Alice, suffering the brunt of my net.
 
Moved some trees around and got rid of a bunch of extra flowers that I didn't need to keep a hold of anymore.
 
I have been terraforming my whole island for days now. Still not done yet. So many things left to design... Able sisters, museum, dining area, picnic area, and Cafe still need to be move around / or build. Most of the whole island still need to be decorated. I can't really decorate until I have everything moved to where they are going to stay.

I moved the museum and some villagers to their new plots today. I have to decorate later. Added a bridge or two and kind of just making waterfalls. Need some more inspiration from Google and pinterest. 😂

I started work on my spooky forest now that I’ve got the DIY for the spooky tree. All I need now is the DIY’s for the spooky carriage, lantern and tower so I can really get to work on the area in time for Halloween.
 
I restarted my island tonight and I really, really hope I won't regret that. I'm a little sad about my villagers and all the items I had, but I got caught up in TT too much and it kind of took the fun out of it. This time, I do not want to TT and while island design will stay a high priority, I don't want to neglect the actual life sim part as I did with my last island.

So accomplishments for day 1:
  • talked to half of my villagers (the other half, meaning the other one, went to bed right after the welcoming party)
  • paid off the first loan
  • arranged for the upgrade from tent to house
  • placed Blather's tent
  • did the Nook Miles+ tasks with double reward
  • went swimming
  • learnt most of the tool DIYs
  • planted some flowers
  • picked up most if not all of the weeds within our current area

Reconnected the river on the right side of the island with the main river on the rest of the island.
Finally relocated the Able Sisters and the Museum to the ideal locations.
Built two more bridges today as well as replace the ugly log bridge with a brick one.
More time-traveling today. Aside from my usual giveaways, I've managed to secure a consistent method of giving away villagers too. It's still a work-in-process, but it's a great way to get people any villager they want. Any villager.
