I feel like at this point in the animal crossing community. Everything that I can think of has already been done. So no matter how I decorate my island it's going to look similar to someone else's. I've just already accepted it.
The most creative thing I've ever seen someone do for their island was base it off of their favorite Wes Anderson movies with their own lil themed sections. Was pretty cool
This! I started to flatten and completely cover my island with sand to make an egypt themed island cause i haven’t seen anything like that. i looked it up….. it’s been done.
I’ve 100% copied people’s islands! And honestly what’s the shame? I don’t share my island online, I don’t show it to other people, and if I ever want to show anything to my friends it’s usually a change I’ve done myself after finally getting motivated.
I haven’t copied anyone island yet but I really want to and I see no problem with it, I mean it’s just a game and it’s only a virtual island we probably won’t even remeber in 13 years from now, heck maybe even 6 so why does it matter? It’s not like where copying secret information from the White House lol.
I don’t think I’ve ever straight up “copied” someone’s island, but I will fully admit to borrowing ideas wholesale from people. I’m far from the most creative person, so when I see something I really like on UA-cam or Insta, my mind instantly goes to “how can I do this on my island??” I have a playlist with over 100 videos on it for ACNH inspiration that I may or may not ever actually use, but if I do want to use them, they’re there
Same for me. Inspiration is definitely not the same as copying. Eventually you'll put your own touch on it, even if the original idea came from someone else.
In my personal opinion, I feel like the entire community just kind of builds off of each other at this point. I've gotten so much inspo from pictures I've seen, and then just add my own little tweaks. I don't see any issues with loving a build or decor.style so much that you copy or draw inspiration from it ❤🥰
That's true, I saw a lot of people and video on internet doing the same thing (but not in the same way/decoration) but for real.. No one care.. If you are happy, what's the matter.. You can still credit the original. But does the original get the idea from something else to? It's a endless chain aha. Anyway, it's all fine doing this
I personally don't think its bad to straight up copy a specific part of another persons island onto your island (unless you're telling people that the specific area was your original thought) However, I do feel like if you copy majority of the ideas from another person's island onto yours, you might feel unhappy and unsatisfied towards your island on the long run, since your island really isn't "your island" if that makes sense. It's always nice to take inspo from another island and incorporate your ideas to that specific inspo so it can feel more unique to you.
Honestly, I don't understand the "you copied me; HOW DARE YOU?!" mentality unless someone is passing off copied work as original or if the "copier" is in a competition where original designs are required. It's normal to take inspiration from other people. That's how creativity and inspiration works in the first place. And even if you did fully copy someone else's island, I don't see how that's bad in the first place. Not everyone has exceptional design sense (I'm one of those people; my design sense is rather simplistic) but I love seeing a well put together locale. So, yeah, I get inspiration off of Reddit all the time. I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong and I really don’t think there's a reason to.
LISS ILYSM i looove what u did with the blue fence partially in the pathway! im glad my island could be an inspiration to u! you have fueled my animal crossing ego for forever >:D (also i added my soccer field after i saw urs on stream so we are even now muahaha)
I feel you. I wouldn't personally copy another island because most of the fun for me comes from it being a creative outlet. But not everyone has the same play style as me, and I think if someone copied my island to any degree, I'd be flattered. I haven't shared many of my builds yet but it would be so cool to be a trendsetter. I feel like getting territorial over this sort of thing is rather immature. It's just a game, after all, nbd. edit: I also feel compelled to say that your hair is really pretty
I'm really bad at making things look cute and interesting. I'm a very minimal and straight to the point person, so making landscape feel organic and intricate is hard. BUT I found a new trick, I copied a mystery boat tour island on my island and it works perfectly! I'm going to try and include the various plots I like from Happy Home Paradise into it as well.
Terraforming is so hard for me to imagine et do, so I often mix different island’s terraforms and then change their styles if I want to (which is mostly the case). I always feel bad after, but it just helps me so much getting more creative on my island !
I get inspired by other people's islands all the time! I try to put my own spin on it. I'm really overwhelmed by the 2.0 update, and have so many ideas of themes, I don't know where to start, quite honestly!
hi liss! u probably won’t see this, but you are the best acnh youtuber!! i love when u upload, i smile so much. i always say Toffee is my fav but its really you
@@youronyourownivy it’s from Twitter. a post on Twitter is called a Tweet, if you like someone’s Tweet then you can ‘Retweet’ it and it gets posted to your page too. not sure how it applies to this comment though as this is youtube
I mean even if you try do things completely unique you'll still do something other people do my accident. I discovered making hearts with the paths by myself and I was so excited and then later when I saw videos online I learned tons of people do that lol it just happens. There is a saying "there is nothing new under the sun" and that's very true. We all take inspiration and influence from each other even without knowing it.
…but it’s the intention behind the action. You still felt so excited and proud to have developed something organically…that is what’s important regardless of whether another person out there in the world has also done the same…YOU arrived at it organically. It’s an important distinction.
I’ve used someone’s before from their before/after post but then decorated the ‘base’ to fit my own design. I’m not on social media and play usually offline so… it doesn’t matter! I do find joy doing my own thing the majority of the time.
The only reason I feel like my island is somewhat unique is because it’s a mix of themes, but I’m sure if you look at the builds individually you could find at least a handful of people with similar things - I am sick of the “you copied me” attitude going on right now bc I’m sure if I dug deep enough I could find someone else who did something similar before the person complaining - this community is so big and so creative and we should appreciate that
i’ve 100% copied islands! i’m not too great with coming up with original ideas unless i’m extremely inspired and it happens naturally. I’d never copy an entire island square for square, but i’m guilty of using dream addresses as a reference for the spaces on my island
yeah! I copy all my spaces! I don't have a visual memory, so I can't visualize what I want to do... so I look at pictures, and take my own items/supplies and copy. No one sees my island but me. I just want to have a nice island for my villagers :)
Also what grinds my gears is the paths they give have terrible borders...just let it blend seamlessly like the millions of custom patterns do. Seriously Nintendo...now that hard. Hope they do it on an update someday
Watching your old content and wow this video was such a turning point, love seeing you cultivate your style, it’s so unique and adding so much to the community
I copied someone who copied someone who copied someone who-- lol. Partly Animal Crossing is about sharing ideas and just having fun. People shouldn't hold their ideas so close to their chest. Inspire to inspire💫
When you said “noo I don’t think so” all I could think of was The incredibles😂 I’m so excited for this version of your island! It’s going to be so cute and I love the simplicity, but purposeful decorating style😍
the island you toured is so amazing!!! i can’t wait to see how you utilize those elements in your own island and i can already see it coming together!! i just joined the discord and twitch so hopefully i’ll be able to make it to a stream FINALLY this week!! ❤️
I don’t think it’s straight up “copy.” I have trouble figuring out what I want to do so I look up for inspiration. Like an example I looked up some examples of what to do with the campsite. I almost did what the picture look like but I also did my own thing to make it look the way I wanted.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I would think that anyone would be thrilled to think a skilled designer like you actually wanted to copy them.
I think copying is actually a beautiful way to learn, which is hands-on. I always recommend watching speedbuild videos instead of your videos to get ideas for builds because you can see how people get to their finished results from the ground up. Copying serves that same purpose, you have this hands-on approach of actually doing it, eventually you learn to fiddle on your own and adjust from there to make it more unique.
I go to an art University and we are taught that no one is capable of coming up with original ideas. That's just the way the world works. Director's, writers, architects, fashion designers, developers, etc., all copy each other to some extent. In Animal Crossing we have the room to try to make our islands unique but at the end of the day....you putting a restaurant area on your island is something thousands of people have already done. You deciding to make "lookout" points is something many people have done before. So, indefinitely, you can't not copy someone else. I appreciate creators like you who are able to talk about these things and share your thought process for creating. That in itself sparks so much inspiration for all of us that are subscribed to your channel ❤
I have full on COPIED almost a whole island. Like took screenshots of maps, put it on an island planner and just followed the blueprint. For me it took a lot of stress out of the process, and it allowed me to test out ideas without a lot of effort/time ✨ Besides, I don’t have an Nintendo online acc. so it’s almost impossible for me to completely “copy” an island because I have limited resources/items. 60% of my island is flat now but the little builds that remain have taken on new functions. Now I could care less what my island looks like and more about ease of access to enhance the gameplay since I’ve experienced a whole dolled up island (which is beautiful but sometimes it’s hard to navigate/get the most out of the game). Also it’s less intimidating for me to slowly make my own builds knowing I have the option to “copy”. I see no shame in it!
For the villager yard I always try to make it communal so maybe a coffee/cafe vibe or games. I love the stuff that makes it look like laundry or project areas
Hi Liss, I promised I would comment. You were so sweet and I’m so happy I got to meet you! Sorry for the awkwardness I had just gotten out from work. But you totally made my day. 🧡
Man, I feel like the big plus of modern day animal crossing is that you can get inspired by so many people, and if copying someone elses island grants you another 200 hours of entertainment then please do that.
i feel like this video was made for me specifically lol glad to know I’m not the only one who wants to soft-copy other builds, especially since I’m not a content creator or anything
I’ve been flattening and redoing the same corner of my island for MONTHS. Especially now that it’s winter. Everything looks so cluttered because the ground is just white and any little thing looks like too much 😩 I’m tempted to go back to fall or spring just to avoid the stress I feel when I see the mess on the snow lol
I've definitely "copied" or was heavily inspired by someone else's island. If I ever share a picture of the area on my IG, I make sure to credit them. I am at the present moment, not comfortable sharing my DA because of these copied areas but otherwise, I don't have an issue with it. I know that I would personally love to see others "copy" or be inspired by something I did on my island, if that were to ever happen. I play the game for fun and that's the way I see it.
I used to be so embarrassed posting my island when I first started playing at launch because even though I made my island my own I didn’t make the patterns myself and I felt like it was disrespectful to the original creator. I post my island now on twitter, and I still feel guilty sometimes but even if I just put the codes o used in the comments it’s easier for me to do it.
Also I especially felt guilty with FACE PAINT for some reason LOL I would never post my character cuz i was scared for so long, I do now but I can’t believe how scared I was
Man, I’ve been struggling for the past 2 years trying to make my island look good. It feels like it’s too small for some reason??? And when I look at other people’s islands they looks sooo big!!! 😭😭
Please don’t say that you don’t have talent , cuz you do have talent. And I like your talent as is. But everyone has different talents and yours is great , so please give your talent some Love.
I think copying some bits and pieces is fine. It means someone really liked your ideas/island. Your island is lovely, I recently visited your dream address and it gave me some ideas. I was really burnout but your island helped with that.
I live in a small town in Indiana, and this island looks just like my home. Most of the time islands are themes that you don't really see in real life, which is awesome and valid, but this one just seems so real. Its nice.
I’ve never straight up copied anything verbatim, but I’ve used the same ideas before. If I see something I like, that I feel would look nice on my island, I try to make my own interpretation of it. Part of what makes this community nice *is* gaining inspiration from each other, I literally just had a friend over yesterday so she could take screenshot to use for inspo. I never liked this “stop copying me!” attitude so many players have had lately.
There is nothing wrong with copying parts of someone’s island and putting it in yours or just the layout, it think it’s different if you copy someone’s whole island item by item(which I’m sure no one has ever done). I’m super big on copy people’s vacation homes because I never know what items look good together
for your neighborhood, i suggest making a community laundry area and other services (snack machine, atm, phone booth) in a strip along the front of the houses with a different pathing underneath 🤩 or to the side
Just like the bathtub and wall spices combo, I personally love putting two of those wall spices next to an adjacent store shelf because they line up so perfectly. Definitely recommend trying it
I've started to play one month ago. To be honest, I don't have this problem at all. First of all: I have a ghost island, so everything is dark. That's the aesthetic, some things are more monochrome then goth, but mostly its a dark island. I checked at the beginning what items you can have in the game, made a list and planned what I want to do with them and where. And now I collect them. I also checked the colours of the items of course, so if its not black, lilac, grey or white, I can't take it. The island is completely shaped and most of the paths are also done, as all the stairs and bridges. I saw a lot of islands that have no plan, that are the usual most cluttered ones. That ones that have a plan, a flag and sometimes a song AND a name that explains what theme it is, are the best. Just think of what you want to do BEFORE you start. Make a plan and a list of all the items you need for it and you good to go.
First off, I've never seen your videos before and for the first 10 minutes I was just admiring your hair. Second, this video was made for me 😂 almost every section of my island is a copy of something I saw online or in a video. I don't claim it any of it was my ideas, I just appreciate it for myself!
Hi Liss! Just wanted to say that too am uninspired and that’s totally okay! We’re here trying to be individuals but also trying to let ourselves live our Christian girl autumn lives. And we’re doing great 👏
I love when people copy builds on my island, even if they use the same custom codes it will always be a little different and slightly unique, I would of never built my island up if it wasn’t from seeing others islands and being inspired but how much you really can do, which is a great thing
I love this video! I was so inspired by your Very Beep Beep Christmas Island last year for mine this season. I'll be releasing my DA soon and I'll be tagging you on my IG post! Thanks for being amazing and for the inspo :)
I love this and it's too funny you posted this.. this is exactly how I felt when I saw YOUR last dream island Liss!! I literally copied your double waterfall entrance with the lily of the valleys and all!!! I love love loved your normcore island, great job girl!! Soooo this is me confirming a 3rd official time you've been copied LOL 😆 I'm sure it's been more than you even know tho cuz you do really cute builds too 😉💜
i can say i’ve never fully copied someone but taking ideas and inspiration definitely, also almost every idea has already been done so it’s kind of impossible make a completely original design anyways so i don’t see anything wrong with it. as long as you give credit i think it’s ok.
I love your Island and your normcore Island I actually started a normcore Island just because of you and I'm definitely getting inspiration from that Island you showed us.
Animal Crossing, though better after the 2.0 update, does have a limited number of items that "theme" together and look nice. And then when a really popular custom code takes off (like the diagonal street design from Colin) you do end up with a bunch of really similar islands.
You asked for suggestions on your villager area; what I've done on my island is they're all in a row just like yours but I've separated them by putting holly bushes between them and behind them. I'm using Holly right now because it seasonal and when it's spring again I'll go back to maybe hydrangeas or something.
Considering you don't have to share your island online at all, if you do then you don't really have room to get mad about people copying you 😬 it's not original artwork or something. (I do think giving code creators credit is good but also not required, don't @ me)
i only ever use the stone paths or the dark dirt path too. i don’t mind the wood path as much but if i didn’t fill out the whole thing it would have bothered me lol.
I’m copying the overall layout of someone else’s island but adjusting a few things like adding a middle island as a park area and then using a different color scheme for the bushes/trees/flowers. I’m also doing slightly different building styles. My first time doing a city core build so I’m copying aspects since I’m not familiar yet with that kind of building and structural style in ACNH. But if anybody asks me I’ll mention that creator and explain. I also wouldn’t pass it off as my own design unless I change up enough aspects of it. I’m not done yet so we’ll see. My mentor in art school used to say how “great artists steal” meaning you take aspects you like of other’s people’s work and make it into your own with your own style. We used to do master copies of paintings in art school to study and learn different painting/drawing techniques. I think copying helps you understand the other artist’s thinking behind something and understand the structure of it. I feel like as long as you don’t claim the work as your own it’s okay. You could say how you did a master copy of ___’s island if it’s like the exact same or say heavily influenced and areas are a master copy of _____’s island.
Copied my whole island off of other ones and time traveled constantly to make money and get items faster. My island was adorable but I missed the old animal crossing, making my own ideas and earning everything slowly with no comparisons or worries. I wanted to go back and flattened my whole island to do a theme I could relate to and could imagine having fun decorating. I regret it now a bit, but have still been having fun. I think copying is okay and everyone can play the game how the want. The game is for setting your own goals and decorating in your own style. Do recommend giving credit though
The bathtub is call bathtub with yuzu and its a seasonal item between November and December but Idk the exact date. The soccer ball bin is call the ball catch. And the square bathtub is called...... the square bathtub and electric fence is just call fence and it's a partion
Have that area you don’t like as a little worker chill area to make it look like the villagers around that area work for nooks cranny, that’d be pretty nice ^_^
I have such a hard time decorating my island bc I have no idea where to start to the point where I get flustered and on the verge of tears… Also I have no one to help bc I have no friends and no family play acnh….
I definitely get inspiration from lots of people but I don't copy things directly. Mostly because I like to put my own style into stuff but also because some designs are pretty but way too annoying for actually playing the game. Also the custom design slots!! I stg other people have more than me or something lmao

absolutely nothing wrong with this!

It's almost like that's the point. With dream addresses and being able to share design codes, it's impossible to not copy ideas from others.

In Animal Crossing we have the room to try to make our islands unique but at the end of the day....you putting a restaurant area on your island is something thousands of people have already done. You deciding to make "lookout" points is something many people have done before. So, indefinitely, you can't not copy someone else. I appreciate creators like you who are able to talk about these things and share your thought process for creating. That in itself sparks so much inspiration for all of us that are subscribed to your channel ❤
I have full on COPIED almost a whole island. Like took screenshots of maps, put it on an island planner and just followed the blueprint. For me it took a lot of stress out of the process, and it allowed me to test out ideas without a lot of effort/time ✨
Besides, I don’t have an Nintendo online acc. so it’s almost impossible for me to completely “copy” an island because I have limited resources/items.
60% of my island is flat now but the little builds that remain have taken on new functions. Now I could care less what my island looks like and more about ease of access to enhance the gameplay since I’ve experienced a whole dolled up island (which is beautiful but sometimes it’s hard to navigate/get the most out of the game). Also it’s less intimidating for me to slowly make my own builds knowing I have the option to “copy”. I see no shame in it!
Okay I know this is about acnh and trust me I’m here for it but can we talk about your NAILS?!! Like yassss gurll I love them! 🤩✨🌸
I like the brick path for sound effects! Place it down, place your chosen custom design on top of it, the footsteps stay
That and the stone, for this exact reason.
For the villager yard I always try to make it communal so maybe a coffee/cafe vibe or games. I love the stuff that makes it look like laundry or project areas
Hi Liss, I promised I would comment. You were so sweet and I’m so happy I got to meet you! Sorry for the awkwardness I had just gotten out from work. But you totally made my day. 🧡
Man, I feel like the big plus of modern day animal crossing is that you can get inspired by so many people, and if copying someone elses island grants you another 200 hours of entertainment then please do that.
Loved this video and this style.
Paid tribute to the artist. Chef’s kiss 😘
"Is it OK to copy" Yes.
i feel like this video was made for me specifically lol glad to know I’m not the only one who wants to soft-copy other builds, especially since I’m not a content creator or anything
I’ve been flattening and redoing the same corner of my island for MONTHS. Especially now that it’s winter. Everything looks so cluttered because the ground is just white and any little thing looks like too much 😩 I’m tempted to go back to fall or spring just to avoid the stress I feel when I see the mess on the snow lol
I've definitely "copied" or was heavily inspired by someone else's island. If I ever share a picture of the area on my IG, I make sure to credit them. I am at the present moment, not comfortable sharing my DA because of these copied areas but otherwise, I don't have an issue with it. I know that I would personally love to see others "copy" or be inspired by something I did on my island, if that were to ever happen. I play the game for fun and that's the way I see it.
…”I’m not comfortable sharing my DA because of these copied areas but otherwise, I don’t have an issue with it.” Wait, what? Lol😩
@@krisuler7734 if you are truly interested in knowing my reasoning, than I am happy to explain it.
@@krisuler7734 what are you confused about?? lol
GIRL I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE DONE THIS- love the vid tysm for all your content!!
I used to be so embarrassed posting my island when I first started playing at launch because even though I made my island my own I didn’t make the patterns myself and I felt like it was disrespectful to the original creator. I post my island now on twitter, and I still feel guilty sometimes but even if I just put the codes o used in the comments it’s easier for me to do it.
The codes I used*
Also I especially felt guilty with FACE PAINT for some reason LOL I would never post my character cuz i was scared for so long, I do now but I can’t believe how scared I was
Man, I’ve been struggling for the past 2 years trying to make my island look good. It feels like it’s too small for some reason??? And when I look at other people’s islands they looks sooo big!!! 😭😭
3:41 bathtub with yyuzu, item from the nook shopping app from dec 15-21 in n. hem and june 15-21 in s. hem!
Please don’t say that you don’t have talent , cuz you do have talent.
And I like your talent as is.
But everyone has different talents and yours is great , so please give your talent some Love.
I think copying some bits and pieces is fine. It means someone really liked your ideas/island.
Your island is lovely, I recently visited your dream address and it gave me some ideas. I was really burnout but your island helped with that.
THE BOTTLES ON THE SIDE OF THE TUB....... STOPPPPPP i wouldve never thought of that
Lisa to every inch of plants : OMG another THING TO ADD TO ME LIST!
I live in a small town in Indiana, and this island looks just like my home. Most of the time islands are themes that you don't really see in real life, which is awesome and valid, but this one just seems so real. Its nice.
I’ve never straight up copied anything verbatim, but I’ve used the same ideas before. If I see something I like, that I feel would look nice on my island, I try to make my own interpretation of it. Part of what makes this community nice *is* gaining inspiration from each other, I literally just had a friend over yesterday so she could take screenshot to use for inspo. I never liked this “stop copying me!” attitude so many players have had lately.
There is nothing wrong with copying parts of someone’s island and putting it in yours or just the layout, it think it’s different if you copy someone’s whole island item by item(which I’m sure no one has ever done). I’m super big on copy people’s vacation homes because I never know what items look good together
for your neighborhood, i suggest making a community laundry area and other services (snack machine, atm, phone booth) in a strip along the front of the houses with a different pathing underneath 🤩 or to the side
I like the community idea, and maybe add the lawn chairs around the fire with some drinks or something.
Just like the bathtub and wall spices combo, I personally love putting two of those wall spices next to an adjacent store shelf because they line up so perfectly. Definitely recommend trying it
so happy to find someone else with a vendetta against the snow
There's only so many different combinations of items and trends/styles blow up all the time w only a certain amount of items to fit the theme
“We can got slower or faster.” Did it for me I live the Jason Andean song
Whenever I get inspired with a photo I recreate it but I also put my own hues to it.
I've started to play one month ago. To be honest, I don't have this problem at all. First of all: I have a ghost island, so everything is dark. That's the aesthetic, some things are more monochrome then goth, but mostly its a dark island. I checked at the beginning what items you can have in the game, made a list and planned what I want to do with them and where. And now I collect them. I also checked the colours of the items of course, so if its not black, lilac, grey or white, I can't take it.
The island is completely shaped and most of the paths are also done, as all the stairs and bridges. I saw a lot of islands that have no plan, that are the usual most cluttered ones. That ones that have a plan, a flag and sometimes a song AND a name that explains what theme it is, are the best. Just think of what you want to do BEFORE you start. Make a plan and a list of all the items you need for it and you good to go.
I mean I haven't copied a whole island, but I always just take inspiration from pinterest and take the parts I like.
First off, I've never seen your videos before and for the first 10 minutes I was just admiring your hair. Second, this video was made for me 😂 almost every section of my island is a copy of something I saw online or in a video. I don't claim it any of it was my ideas, I just appreciate it for myself!
Lol. That title is me!!
I recently flattened and simplified my island. Clutter stresses me out. I am super happy right now
Hi Liss! Just wanted to say that too am uninspired and that’s totally okay! We’re here trying to be individuals but also trying to let ourselves live our Christian girl autumn lives. And we’re doing great 👏
I love when people copy builds on my island, even if they use the same custom codes it will always be a little different and slightly unique, I would of never built my island up if it wasn’t from seeing others islands and being inspired but how much you really can do, which is a great thing
Tbh a lot my builds are inspired by others but when I do it it looks ugly LOL. So I fix it till it fits my style of building.
I love this video! I was so inspired by your Very Beep Beep Christmas Island last year for mine this season. I'll be releasing my DA soon and I'll be tagging you on my IG post! Thanks for being amazing and for the inspo :)
istg the amount of videos ive been watching lately that are sponsored by boxu is TOO MUCH its raid shadow legends all over again
I love this and it's too funny you posted this.. this is exactly how I felt when I saw YOUR last dream island Liss!! I literally copied your double waterfall entrance with the lily of the valleys and all!!! I love love loved your normcore island, great job girl!! Soooo this is me confirming a 3rd official time you've been copied LOL 😆 I'm sure it's been more than you even know tho cuz you do really cute builds too 😉💜
i can say i’ve never fully copied someone but taking ideas and inspiration definitely, also almost every idea has already been done so it’s kind of impossible make a completely original design anyways so i don’t see anything wrong with it. as long as you give credit i think it’s ok.
I love your Island and your normcore Island I actually started a normcore Island just because of you and I'm definitely getting inspiration from that Island you showed us.
Animal Crossing, though better after the 2.0 update, does have a limited number of items that "theme" together and look nice. And then when a really popular custom code takes off (like the diagonal street design from Colin) you do end up with a bunch of really similar islands.
I think a community garden for your neighborhood would be so cute!!!
Okay, his island doesn't make me feel bad for having a lot of open space anymore.
You can buy the wooden storage shed DIY with nook miles instead of getting the expensive one. That's only if you have a fully upgraded home though
You asked for suggestions on your villager area; what I've done on my island is they're all in a row just like yours but I've separated them by putting holly bushes between them and behind them. I'm using Holly right now because it seasonal and when it's spring again I'll go back to maybe hydrangeas or something.
Love how beautiful this is!!! No shame in a little inspo! I am also insecure abt my island 😅
Considering you don't have to share your island online at all, if you do then you don't really have room to get mad about people copying you 😬 it's not original artwork or something. (I do think giving code creators credit is good but also not required, don't @ me)
hair’s on point.
Rimo’s island is supreme! I feel in love. 😻
It’s a fucking video game. Yes copying is okay.
You inspired me to restart my island and switch to more normcore YOU MADE MY BURNOUT DISSAPEAR
i only ever use the stone paths or the dark dirt path too. i don’t mind the wood path as much but if i didn’t fill out the whole thing it would have bothered me lol.
in-game path users unite!!! but also don’t mind me while i Copy your nooks cranny stock drop off build
i actually love the small cute town\city vibe of your island :c i would definetly take inspiration from that if only i had a switch lol
I’m copying the overall layout of someone else’s island but adjusting a few things like adding a middle island as a park area and then using a different color scheme for the bushes/trees/flowers. I’m also doing slightly different building styles. My first time doing a city core build so I’m copying aspects since I’m not familiar yet with that kind of building and structural style in ACNH. But if anybody asks me I’ll mention that creator and explain. I also wouldn’t pass it off as my own design unless I change up enough aspects of it. I’m not done yet so we’ll see.
My mentor in art school used to say how “great artists steal” meaning you take aspects you like of other’s people’s work and make it into your own with your own style.
We used to do master copies of paintings in art school to study and learn different painting/drawing techniques. I think copying helps you understand the other artist’s thinking behind something and understand the structure of it.
I feel like as long as you don’t claim the work as your own it’s okay. You could say how you did a master copy of ___’s island if it’s like the exact same or say heavily influenced and areas are a master copy of _____’s island.
What a gorgeous island 🤩
"Rubber ducky, you're the one" w-was that from Christopher Bang?!
“I just wanna have wheaties everywhere.” Lols
Copied my whole island off of other ones and time traveled constantly to make money and get items faster. My island was adorable but I missed the old animal crossing, making my own ideas and earning everything slowly with no comparisons or worries. I wanted to go back and flattened my whole island to do a theme I could relate to and could imagine having fun decorating. I regret it now a bit, but have still been having fun. I think copying is okay and everyone can play the game how the want. The game is for setting your own goals and decorating in your own style. Do recommend giving credit though
The bathtub is call bathtub with yuzu and its a seasonal item between November and December but Idk the exact date. The soccer ball bin is call the ball catch. And the square bathtub is called...... the square bathtub and electric fence is just call fence and it's a partion
Have that area you don’t like as a little worker chill area to make it look like the villagers around that area work for nooks cranny, that’d be pretty nice ^_^
I have 100 percent copied someone’s island.
I have such a hard time decorating my island bc I have no idea where to start to the point where I get flustered and on the verge of tears… Also I have no one to help bc I have no friends and no family play acnh….
I definitely get inspiration from lots of people but I don't copy things directly. Mostly because I like to put my own style into stuff but also because some designs are pretty but way too annoying for actually playing the game. Also the custom design slots!! I stg other people have more than me or something lmao
@listhelass the bath is called a yozo bath. if you want one i can get it from my nook stop and either send it or whatever :)
yuzu*
