this is kind of vague but I'd love to see some ideas for cool ways of using bridges, like with overlooks and tiered areas and whatnot! I tend to use bridges in a very basic way and I need some bridge inspiration
me too :( but also- it is just a game. As long as we’re having fun, we’re doing well. And most of our islands don’t look this nice. Takes a lot of time and planning.
Try just starting with a small section of it! I started at the top right corner and have been slowly making my way through section by section. Don't aim for perfection on the first pass; as you go, you'll probably think of more ideas and go back and improve what you've already worked on. Also don't forget that it's YOUR island and it does have to look as fancy as other people's islands. For me, most of these are way too cramped, busy, and hard to navigate. Mine has a more spread out feel so I can easily catch bugs, chase down balloons, and just generally traverse from one side to the other. It will never be as intricately designed as the islands shown in this video, but it feels just right for my play style. Steal ideas when you see ones you like, but ultimately focus on how YOU want to play! Don't pressure yourself to have good designs; as long as your island is functional for your play style and looks good to you, then it's a good design!
Plot out their houses with fences around them, that’s what made it easy for me. I have 3 in each little neighborhood and then my house on the tallest cliff 🤟🏻
@Buttered Lumps I agree,honestly at lest this gives me more of a idea o how to design my neighborgood better I took up a lot more space than I thought and it could be more natural
I always plot out the houses with fences. Each house has that cute palm tree lamp in their yard, a little garden with a Lilly of the valley in each yard and two stone lanterns at their entrance 😊
I know I’m not the only one but I’m so shocked by how perfect the timing was for this upload!! I JUST started working on my neighborhood the day this was uploaded !
I wanna make mini neighborhoods for some of my villagers who have the same aesthetic, this video inspired me to put Stitches' and Bob's houses together in a little rainbow playground :) When I get the Sanrio amiibos, I wanna give Chelsea and Sherb their own cafè too, complete with Sanrio furniture ❤❤
You make comments that are worth making and I think that's what makes you stand out. I get annoyed when people do island tours and they just don't stop talking. I like the pacing of the comments you make and I don't get bored hahaha
I understand your struggles I hate the way my island is terraformed and it’s kind of too late to change a lot of it and I do NOT want to restart my island
Coming from someone who’s down time is around 1am-3am I never really see my island during the bright sunny days it’s nice to see island examples at night because most of the time when I look at island ideas it’s in a sunny setting not the night one and that’s the only time I see my island, thank you!
Thank you so much I am a first time player and am so early into the game that resident services is still in construction to be an actual building instead of a tent. Thanks to this video, I have so many future island ideas that I have taken notes of. You just got a new subscriber!
This came at the best time!! I was just looking to re-do my villager homes and didn't want to do a super grid-style neighborhood. Thank you so much! :)
This is helpful to a degree. I literally just started the game for the first time about a week ago and I’m slowly getting the hang of things. I have this very nostalgic, cozy vibe I’m growing for, like I want the island to have that sense of “calmly listening to Lofi music and coffee on an Autumn morning” you know, kinda nostalgic vibes
What I love about your videos is the amazing community that you've created! It's so nice to see islands in the video that I've actually been to trading items and DIY recipes on your discord server :)
The only thing with these neighborhoods is that there is no place to roll a snowball in the winter and finding and digging up fossils. The more stuff on the ground the harder it is to perform some money making activities.
So I just started playing animal crossing about 3 Months ago and I am totally obsessed with it, I have waaayy too much time on my hands to play and let me tell you I was so proud with how my island is looking, this was the first AC video I have seen and I have come to a realisation. OMG MY ISLAND SUCkS LOL. I think I need to rethink everything including my life choices hahaha
I make a little walkway to the resident services to make it seem bigger. I put two waterfalls on either side with little ponds, then two diagonal bridges to get to resident services on either side. Decorated the cliffs of the waterfalls with my Lilly of the valley plants and Halloween decorations!
Thank you for this video! I honestly love all you do! I always do my neighborhood and something always looks or goes wrong, so I love that you took your time out of your day to make this and help everyone! ❤️❤️❤️
Lex Play: I usually don't see one individual color focused on in an island LilSimsie: Why is my island green? Well my name is Kale and it's salad themed.
Is there a filter on this video? Some of the islands lighting looks so different to my own, was wondering if I am crazy, different hemisphere/season has different lighting or the video has a filter?
Awesome first to like, thank you so much for this video! I always struggling with neighborhoods 🥰 I'm lurk a lot on your vids, but really appreciate you and your wonderful videos ❤
I’m super duper new to the game - but your channel has really helped me and think of new ways of my own to create my island! I’ve never played any Animal Crossing games before so I was a little lost at first 😅 but I just wanted to say thank you for putting out so many great videos- I’m gradually watching them all!! 💖💖💖
I like to have all of my fruit trees in orchards together, it really helps plot a neighborhood! And I always put up fences to plot out where their houses will go 😊
Enjoyed the video some beautiful islands i cant really think of any ideas at the moment drawing a blank i got a op soon and im dreading it so heads a bit woozey xxx
What would people suggest for getting started? I am just a few weeks into the game (hoping to get my 3 stars in a couple days) and I’m not sure if I should plan out the whole layout then decorate later, or fully complete a small part of the island at a time?
Hi lex! Sorry I haven't sent the drawing yet, I've been really overworked with school and really needed the time for relaxing. I had 13 new assignments just last week which is insane compared to the normal 6! I'm also going to be painting the final draft so that may take a bit with different coats but I should be done in a week or 2. Also my island is almost done so I can't wait to finally submit it for a tour!
I just started my first serious island yesterday, there are 3 villagers coming to village, and I already built nooks cranny and blathers tent (under construction now), so I'm looking for inspiration and this helps a lot
At the VERRY BACK of my island, my house (as well as Marshall and Apollo) are all matching and It’s like a “high income gated neighborhood” it’s SO COOL
Such a great video love seeing all the different ways of designing people have, I personally am putting almost every house on its own hahaha i just did a speedbuild of maples cute house she got a strawberry farm :)
the dollhouse area in one of the islands is so cute and creative! like a little gnome neighborhood 😍 i'm finally properly working on my island layout and happened to find ur channel. thank you for the great content and inspiration 🌸
Some of these Islands put mine to shame. I wish I had thought about some of these things before I put my neighborhood in. Now looking back my house’s are too close. I may redo them.
So how do people coordinate the color or types of houses. I play on the switch so I am guessing that limits a lot of what I can do? Also, are the picnic blankets custom tiles?
Most people can’t, so don’t feel bad about it ❤️🩹 There are lots and lots of other ways to make your island beautiful, it’s only one very specific thing.
Would it be best to fully decorate your island when you start your island with just you and your 2 villagers or build up as you go along as you get each of your 10 villagers.
ok after watching this video i realized the right way for me to play this game is literally just watching videos like this and visiting other amazing islands instead of being overwhelmed by my own unmotivated and uninspired island lol
Appreciate these designs, they are so good. I have been working on a complete overhaul on mine it's time consuming, alot of time I dont know where I'm going with it, what to do with it, hope I can get mine to look half as good
What would you like to see next for 15 ideas? Thanks for watching :D
15 garden ideas. I'm really stuck on how to decorate the outside of my house!
Maybe front room/house interiors, I know a lot of people struggle with the front room and just decorating their house in general.
this is kind of vague but I'd love to see some ideas for cool ways of using bridges, like with overlooks and tiered areas and whatnot! I tend to use bridges in a very basic way and I need some bridge inspiration
Filler areas!
Ooooooh, 15 rock garden ideas!!!!!
I swear I could 1 to 1 replicate these designs and still somehow make it look worse
Same! I step back after attempting one of these designs and i'm like "This doesn't look right"
Same 😂
😂 I tried all day today since I discovered this video. I tried to l replicate second by second, inch by inch and OMG mine looks horrible 😩
same 😩
sadly same..
i would like to see 15 ideas for island entrances
me too !!
me too
Oooo yes!!! Come see my entrance please 🤣
15 ideas for island entrances is up today!!
Same
I’m actually amazed how ppl come up with such ideas. It must take a lot of time
These ppl usually have over a couple hundred hours
@@AlvinaYunoa lmao
Takes time to create the stuff. Ideas come easily to some however.
And bells!!! Where do they get that many bells?
Damn, this has made me feel really shitty about my island haha
same:(
me too :( but also- it is just a game. As long as we’re having fun, we’re doing well. And most of our islands don’t look this nice. Takes a lot of time and planning.
I just hope I can make mine look like one of the islands in the video ;;
Honestly tho 😔
OML SAME.
how are people so creative? its truly amazing
i just got terraforming and was VERY VERY excited
i fell into a rabbit hole of island ideas
and now i am VERY VERY OVERWHELMED
same i went to look up ideas and got demotivated to continue playing the game 😢
@@1dntknw that happened to me, I took a 2 year break
i reset my island just so i can stay away from terraforming this time LMAO
Same here :(
same
i wish you´d shown the maps of their island so its easier to visualize what they did😔
Check the desc it has dodos
don’t mind me, just bookmarking my favorite islands so i can get inspo lol
2:06 - suburban
6:37 - regal city
9:46 - cottagecore
11:12 - forrestcore
12:26 - suburban (mini neighborhood)
19:00 - suburban (my fave)
19:41 - parisian neighborhood
@@chillfrog3999 okayy?
I know that this was for you, but thank you! Most of these were also my favorites, you saved the trouble of time stamping♡
@@eve.torrez np!
I know it's been a while but how did it go? 😁
Who cares it's helpful for others who liked the same ones
I really don’t know how to design my island. This is so depressing 😭

@@sarahmitchell7799 aha that’s what i do, it really helps!
Tell me about it, the possibilities are stress
@@sarahmitchell7799 Thanks u helped me a lot! I had no idea where to start and working on one small section at a time seems less stressful.
not me literally searching UA-cam for villager neighborhood ideas YESTERDAY and today you upload this, it was meant to be!
House placement is so difficult for me. I am really trying to figure out how to make a cohesive neighborhood
Use Design stickers on the ground to measure villager houses are 4x4
There's a guide to the house placements.
Plot out their houses with fences around them, that’s what made it easy for me. I have 3 in each little neighborhood and then my house on the tallest cliff 🤟🏻
Only critique on this: I'd have liked to see the maps. The video was great though. Great content, and great locations.
Gotta love Lex showing love to other creators. So wholesome.
Buying a Switch and ACNH to still be watching Island Ideas while my island is still in 5% progress after a year was the best thing
Just when I think I’m happy with my island I see this haha
@Buttered Lumps I agree,honestly at lest this gives me more of a idea o how to design my neighborgood better I took up a lot more space than I thought and it could be more natural
@@ZackFair78
Kkkkkk
I swear I can’t be creative with this stuff. I’m jealous of how people are so creative
same, which is why I just sold my acnh game :/
Alex Ramos Wth… why??
Same, I also feel like that about my art sometimes
I always plot out the houses with fences. Each house has that cute palm tree lamp in their yard, a little garden with a Lilly of the valley in each yard and two stone lanterns at their entrance 😊
To the people who read this have an amazing day! 🙂
You too! :’)
you too!!! :)
you too!!!
Every time I think I’m happy with my island I see videos like this and I get re-inspired
I know I’m not the only one but I’m so shocked by how perfect the timing was for this upload!! I JUST started working on my neighborhood the day this was uploaded !
I wanna make mini neighborhoods for some of my villagers who have the same aesthetic, this video inspired me to put Stitches' and Bob's houses together in a little rainbow playground :) When I get the Sanrio amiibos, I wanna give Chelsea and Sherb their own cafè too, complete with Sanrio furniture ❤❤
I love these videos to remind myself how terrible I am at design
You make comments that are worth making and I think that's what makes you stand out. I get annoyed when people do island tours and they just don't stop talking. I like the pacing of the comments you make and I don't get bored hahaha
Your videos are so aesthetically pleasing. I am so torn between flattening or restarting. Overwhelming
I understand your struggles I hate the way my island is terraformed and it’s kind of too late to change a lot of it and I do NOT want to restart my island
Thanks so much Lex for visiting Penniland again! Your so kind!🥰
I’m just a bit appalled Dream Ness didn’t go and sit with you by the berliners. SMH.
HAHAH I forgive her

omg i’m adding a neighborhood to my island rn and you posted this just in time!! ty!!
the second one was soo lovely and cozy looking, definitely goals for a springy natural yet still organized build
the amount of time these must’ve took is absolutely insane these are so cool
2:06 is one of my fav islands bcuz it gives me a idea of fairycore and cottagecore
THANK YOU SO MUCH LEX for featuring my island Port Fairy ❤️❤️ awesome video as always 💕💕
I would really like the code for the white blanket in your video!
This is making me actually excited to redo my neighborhood area omg
samee
What I love about your videos is the amazing community that you've created! It's so nice to see islands in the video that I've actually been to trading items and DIY recipes on your discord server :)

I have so many questions about so many things. Hey I'm great at fishing though. I have that going for me
“How to decorate when your resident services plot is way too close to the airport”
Omg too relatable
I make a little walkway to the resident services to make it seem bigger. I put two waterfalls on either side with little ponds, then two diagonal bridges to get to resident services on either side. Decorated the cliffs of the waterfalls with my Lilly of the valley plants and Halloween decorations!
Wow this video game at JUST the right time! I have been stuck on what to do with my villager neighbourhoods for two days. Great timing, Lex!
I’m eyeing the delete save data button, don’t do this to me.
I just did it 🤪
i just did it lol
Me too! Lol
I always love hearing Bad Snacks' tracks in yt vids; her music is so chill

i love these ideas! the path on celestial is super cool!

Damn I wouldn’t even play without a Nintendo Online
What are those items on the stone stools at 3:55 ?
This inspires me so much that I tried it and IT LOOKS AMAZING I started using more fences and plants
Everything is just so beautiful
I can not wait for the snow to melt, I miss seeing grass
YAYYYY, I LOVE THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS!!!! 💛💛
Is there somewhere to post islands? I have a perfect neighborhood that I think would belong on this list
You can find some communities on Reddit where people post islands. That would be a good place to share yours
Thank you for including the dream addresses. Do you happen to know how to look up the border for the stone path thing? Really love the way it looks.
Thank you for doing this video. The inspiration from this is going to help me so much 😁
i don’t know why, but the first one reminds me of webkinz 💗 so many awesome ideas everyone has!!
Whoever Peaches is, they sound adorable! Awww.
Peaches is Lex's little sister btw 💛
Omg i was just thinking about looking for new ideas for my neighborhood :3 just in time ❤️
The island looks great 😊
@ 15:33, what's the name of that wreath on genji's door? I've never seen it before
I love this video, gave me a lot of inspiration. Thank you!
I like how you said hello in the intro but used the wave goodbye reaction
I love her vibes so much!!
Would it be best to fully decorate your island when you start your island with just you and your 2 villagers or build up as you go along as you get each of your 10 villagers.
my favorite was the port fairy one !! 13:00
Theres also a town in Australia call Portfairy could be inspired by that town
ok after watching this video i realized the right way for me to play this game is literally just watching videos like this and visiting other amazing islands instead of being overwhelmed by my own unmotivated and uninspired island lol
