As much as I love the game, I don't like the order in which they set everything up. They start you off picking an island with no knowledge of what's gunna be there, make you place an unmovable city hall, don't tell you that you're gunna have 10 villagers at one point, and don't give you any land controls until after everything is already in place lol

I wish I had planned out my neighborhood/buildings first. Now, I have to spend unnecessary bells to relocate all my buildings.

Narrow space. The more restricted you keep your pathways, the more you create the illusion that the island is bigger. It’s not that the space is larger, but taking more time to get around gives the feeling it’s bigger

parvietro I feel like it’s because their rivers aren’t very wide or they terraform to add more land in areas a river or pond could be, but I get what you mean I don’t know what voodoo they be doing but their islands seem to be so much bigger 😂😭

The 5 stars easy root is flowers, furniture, and trees. In that order. Issabelle will never complain no matter how many flowers you add they only increase your rating. Furniture is second. Make vinettes with little things going on here and then. My orchard has a whole work area, my museum has a whole walk up filled with fossils, my villagers all yave decorated yards. Trees are the thing you can have too many of Issabelle will tell you when you've gone overboard. Personally I'm building a giant national park because I can't stand having an empty urban island so there are trees and flowers and nature decor EVERYWHERE.

YES, National Park Island sounds amazing! I love the work put into urbanized islands, but sometimes it can be a bit much. For me it’s better to have a healthy dose of nature in the design to let people breathe.

Important to note: Don't go wild on fully decorating your island. There is an update with new features and buildings coming to ACNH, with the expansion of the museum as well as potentially coffee shops or an additional shop building. You could get to a point where you've decorated every part of your island and have no room for these new features. Similarly, you can use a second profile just for yourself and give yourself a second home. You can decorate this how you wish and you don't have to be stuck with the limit you have in your main player house. You can have a themed extra house and convert it into something else. Maybe you pretend it's an arcade, or a spa, or an indoor garden, add a signboard outside and you've created your own custom building

One correction about guaranteed 3 star by filling up your island. You actually most likely only need 8 villagers, at least 50 fences placed down, 50 outdoor furniture items placed, and 100 flowers outdoors. Then when you go to Isabelle she will say your island is 3 star rating and Slider will come to your island for the first time which is when you unlock terraforming

Thank you so much for answering my question! I’ve managed to get my island to four stars while keeping it looking natural without any big crazy zen gardens or orchards or cafes or whatnot. But I’ve been struggling to get that last star, and I want it! But you’re right, I don’t want to overcrowd what I want my island to look like just to get the five stars. Your channel is great, BTW.

Hello! I don't even have animal crossing yet, and I'm just looking at the comments. The tips I've found are pretty useful! Like you can only get the Lily of the Valley if you have 5 stars, and they grow on cliffs. I probably won't like scattering my buildings. Don't put random junk around your island for no reason. Flower breeding give you cooler flowers. Idek what they are for yet. Think of things you like, and try to make that kind of area in empty spaces. Be unique! Try new things! Have fun! Don't stress about random spaces that look weird, nothing can be wrong, or right. Thanks for all the helpful tips! ❤️

Some other tips for decorating beaches, is putting scattered wooden stakes to represent the remains of an old peer + purple hyacinths on sand look like sea lavander. Scatter some stones and weeds to make it look natural if that’s your vibe too.

I LOVE this Q&A! Very helpful and I like that you take the time to show us what you are talking about and share codes with us :) Keep it up please

Another “tip” to keep in mind while designing your island is to not think about it too much and do one thing at a time. While I was going through the first SEVERAL phases of my island I would always overthink everything and never complete anything. When I decided to just go with the flow and work on one part of my island and complete it, the whole process just because a lot smoother, and these types it tips and tricks videos help with inspiration too if you’re stuck with an empty space of land you don’t know what to do with!

I got five stars today without over crowding my island. I have tons of flowers, paths, and fences. I even have a bunch of items laying around. Did a lot of terraforming tho.

I love your beaches! I find it easy to make like mini themes around the island, so this is the lounge area, this is the workout area, and create it around that and find furnitures, designs, custom designs for it. if it doesn't work out, that's fine, find something else. it's all about experimenting

I have a 5 stars, you have to have a balance of trees/flowers and decorations placed. Once you get a 5 star you have to maintain it, anything that’s is DROPPED.. diys, materials, furniture is considered, “clutter”. If they item is PLACED, it is not, after 7 consecutive days of logging on (with a 5 star), you get a chance at getting a lily of the valley plant. (I have 3).

Just started watching your videos and I’m loving it so far. Your suggestions and patterns that you found really have been helpful. Where do you typically find your patterns? A specific website?

design tip to OFFSET tree placement. if ur trees are lined up in a perfect row it doesnt look very natural. i like to set one row of trees, each tree 3 blocks away from each other. then in the row behind/in front of them, stand on the square directly between the two trees, facing up or down, dig a hole and plant it there. it looks a lot more natural than perfect rows and it the branches dont touch. also ensures fruit a space to fall if u do it with fruit trees

Thank you so much for this video💛💛

My island recently got to five stars and it definitely has a small town, rural feel. There’s still a lot of empty space and all of my houses are super spread out. I’ve seen a lot of people have their homes in very grid-like set ups, but I really like how they look more “organically” placed

Something that has helped me plot yards for my villagers has been knowing the building footprint dimensions which helps save time and money in the long run. I made a super simply white with an orange border custom pattern to map out each lot. Afterwards follow these dimensions: Villager Home: 4x4 Museum: 7x4 Shop: 7x4 Tailor: 5x4 Campsite: 4x4

Because my sisters and I haven't unlocked terraforming yet, I made custom designs and placed them on the ground as paths. I also placed different custom designs in front of the houses as a door mat. So far, I like the look of the paths that leads to our neighbors' houses, the two shops, & the museum. (By the way, the buildings are scattered but it was worth the time and effort, though.)

I really respect that you wanted a baseball field. I chose the original shape of my island to set up a wrestling ring! I still don't have terraforming yet, but it is going to be the main focus.

Watching these while preparing to get the game 😁😁

Would love a part 2! If you do go ahead with it here is my question: Now with the news of Redd coming to the private beach have you any design ideas to incorporate this and also for how to get to it easily?

Yes. Part 2. Or. Lol a weekly podcast really thanks so much for your time

I’ve put little “flowerbeds” in and planted trees in them, it makes the tree placement look intentional.

I got 5 star somehow. Isabelle kept saying to make stuff from the island, so doing a lot of DIY’s help. I have a ton of flowers and fences too. Make sure there’s trees too. I got 5 stars before I was even on the layout I wanted. My Nooks cranny didn’t upgrade yet either. Making sure you have a lot of villagers is also a key!

You need more subscribers, like.. A MILLION!

I have a suggestion! When labelling your fruit trees/orchards, if you have the diy for it, put the design on the "plain wooden shop sign" diy. It makes it so your label isn't on an easel/on a diagonal, the design faces forward and is a bit less intrusive on the vibe of the area.

Not sure if you know, but when you reach a 5-star island, you can receive the golden water can which can turn black roses to gold roses. I'm taking it real slow, still, at 3 stars, everything upgraded but I'm not pressed, there are still some things I need to do but I'm taking my time. You could just do a couple of the things you said just to get the watering can then revert back to the way you want it.

I think it depends on what the person likes. I love the idea of a crowded island. I want every space to have something on it and have lots of structures! I get how some may like a nice spacious and natural island, but having a crowded island isn’t a bad thing either (:

I actually put all my villagers in one corner of the island because I have carefully planned out my entire island, and i need terraforming to make the areas where i intend to put the houses. So for now I just put the houses out of the way for where i want to terraform

I totally want those little wooden benches
