I remember many islands in 2020 having DIY/item trading stalls, I think that would be cute for nostalgia! A gyroid growing area, rainbow flower garden, vegetable garden, star gazing area would be great for this island! Excited to see it come along and get ideas for my own island 😊
I remember everyone making diners using the dining furniture as well as residential areas with hedging around the houses! Also orchards, with every fruit in straight lines, no variations at ALL LOL
So excited for this, I'm doing a non terraforming no codes island aswell, and no treasure islands should be fun lol. Looking forward to the rest of the series
Sorry in commenting twice, but I’ve been using more in game pathways recently and I love make shapes with the edges. I’ve done hearts, circles, leaf shapes (round opposite edges and leave the others pointed), and even half circles on the sides of straight paths! It’s been lots of fun and shows up on the overhead map 😊
my first love in acnh was tangy, she was the first villager i found and she is still in on my island today 🩷 the build today is sooo cute, i‘m excited for the series melissa! thanks for your amazing content 🩷☺️
I recently started playing new horizons and I love this kind of videos, this gives me a lot of nice ideas for my own island and its so relaxing to watch on my second screen while playing myself the game. Loving your designing style
Wow I am actually shocked at how you just threw all that together! I don’t have Nintendo online so I can’t do any of the fancy code stuff so watching you do “norm-core” is honestly very inspiring for my island!!
This is so cuuuuuuuuuute! I remember building like this when the game first came out, before I ever thought to look on AC Instagram, lol. :D Marshal is so precious omg, I got him as my campsite villager on my recently restarted forever island and I screamed! 🌰My first favorite villager was Kyle. I still adore him! He was my BFF in ACNL. When ACNH first came out, a very kind person in an AC discord channel helped me find him 😭it was so sweet of them! I have since acquired his amiibo card, and now he can be my BFF forever. At the moment, though, I'm trying to have villagers I've never had before and give them a chance, and let everyone move out who wants to move out and see who I can find on islands. Trying to spice it up and keep it new/different, you know? Molly earns 10/10 beans, she's the most adorable little lass. She got her own lake filled with ducks on one of my islands, bc she's the best girl and she deserves it! Also, I feel your pain trying to do stuff around the villagers. I was just doing a big build and I swear they were all walking around the cliffs I was trying to set up and water I was trying to add, like I love you guys, but GO AWAY 🤣 Looking super forward to seeing what comes next! :D
Also, I know the villagers were in the way but I’m jealous your villagers actually use what you’ve done. It was adorable seeing them sitting in the areas you made, Molly drinking tea, Marshall sitting at the table with you. Absolutely adorable and through the roof cuteness.
girl i was villager hunting watching this, when u said how molly was cute i thought of how much i wanna get her, LITEARLLY in the same moment i saw her...... my heart dropper lmao
10 beans for Molly. My absolute favourite is Roald. I started playing in May 2020 and he was one of my first two starter villagers. I’ll never let him go! ❤ Very excited about this series. I think my entrance is the same layout for airport and resident services.
Been a while since watching acnh content, but my favourite villager is Shari. She was my first ever starter and the first villager I reached besties with. And she was the first to give me her photo.
Not even halfway into the video, but I HAD to comment some ideas. - Tiki/smoothie bar, maybe on the beach on your peninsula. - Park area with playground items, soccer field, etc. - Sitting/rest area with vending machines, benches, and maybe a park clock. - Fishing areas! This could be great on the beach or the rocks. - A bike parking area, probably by the shops! - For the museum, it definitely has to have fossils or maybe some sort of gift shop. - A lookout/stargazing area. - Villager yards of course, I remember everyone had their yards as the same size, closed in with fencing, and a theme to match the villager's personality or house. - Orchard! Also some items I recommend: Streetlamp Public Bench Signpost/Angled Signpost Plain Wooden Shop Sign Drink/Snack Machine Stall Birdbath Tiny Library Phone Box
Hello! Lucky for me, UA-cam suggested this video and I found it delightful. I’m kind of glad you skipped the tedious very beginning. I was thinking of doing something similar so I’m especially interested in what you’re doing here. I quite like the “normcore” islands that aren’t overly cluttered or hard to navigate. I’ve seen some gorgeous gorgeous builds that would be highly impractical to get around if you’d like to complete the fish or bug collections. The first villager I wound up loving was Lyman. He’s not terribly popular but he was my very very first and was always smiling and always had something nice to say. He was never annoyed when I talked to him (unlike the sisterly who says “you again!”). Now there are a few that I adore including Opal, Celia and believe it or not, Klaus.
Roald is my first love! I restarted and have been hunting for him for months and got him TODAY! I'm excited to watch this challenge. Normcore is my favorite ❤
This is lovely! I think it would look even better if you put the dark dirt path underneath the flowers around the fountain! I love how you filled the space while making it not cluttered
I just discovered your channel and I started with this video for nostalgia and all I remember from my island was just.. Paths 50% Flowers 45 % Mess 3% My broke villager 2%
It was love at first sight when I first saw Marshall when I was villager hunting 4 years ago. Back then I didn't have any idea how popular he was. It was the same with Apollo when I first saw him. 😅
Something that I really enjoyed doing in the past is putting the museum sorta near the beach, and making the space between the beach and the museum a park with signs referring to things in the exhibits (a butterfly sign near flowers, a fish sign on the beach, a sign about Celeste/astronomy near an area with telescopes). It's a good way to add in an extra park without it JUST being a cutesy pretty park. You can also combine it with a museum cafe/restaurant next to or behind the museum!
Ok so I have a nice idea and wanted to see how you like it, I’m planning on putting a little stall store area, I thought of putting a couple interesting ones like a fortune stall and an ice cream stall
Whenever I first got into animal crossing, I wanted New Horizons but had to make do with pocket camp. Goldie was my favorite from the day we met. I haven't had her on any of my islands but I hope to one day :)
Marshal is so adorable 🥰 the villager I instantly fell in love with was Ketchup. She was the very first villager I saw on a mystery island and I was obsessed! She's been on every single island I've made since 😊 I'm excited for this island. Love islands that take it back to basics ❤
working on my very first island and i didn't realize this theme has a name lol i'm excited to be inspired by more of your building and decorating on this island! :D
Omg! Loving the normcore vibes! Your narration has me in stitches! Speaking of which, stitches was the very first villager that I just love, he’s sooo coot! Second fave is lolly! I have subscribed as I’ve got to follow the journey of your island. I love the feeling of starting a new island just can’t beat it, but then I get burn out! I think the idea of doing an island with no terraforming is a really good challenge and I bet quite liberating too! I will defo be having a go at that as soon as I’ve finished my elegant core island which is sending me stir crazy! 🐿️🥜🐾🐾 (for Marshall) Brilliant video and love your entrance, very cute. ❤
My favorite villager is Prince! Such a little cutie,got him from an autofill. But my dreamie is Sucker (I know everyone hates him but for me he is so cute!)
OMG When you asked who our favorite was, I immediately thought of Rosie (I was like 7 and she was my best friend in wild world) and I hadn't gotten on in a few days and she moved away and I CRIED
What a beautiful start to your new island. I really wish I could get mine to turn out like that. Loving the theme, and looking forward to your next video.
my first favorite villager was dom, i remember watching a streamer hate on him and i thought it was so funny because i think he is just the cutest little dude!!
For a while it was Juilan. He just randomly moved in one day and I instantly thought he was so cute and unique, but now Curlos has taken his place. Marshal's alright. I get why so many people like him but he's just okay to me. Molly on the other hand gets all the beans. But maybe that's just because ducks are my favorite animal.🦆
Omg this island is coming out so cute! I just found your channel through this video and I'm definitely subscribing and looking forward to more episodes of this series hehe❤
Marshal is the best villager!!! 🐿️🐿️🐿️ PS: at the end of the 14 days you should time travel to November to see how the grass and trees fit with the build!
That stone path is my favourite in game path ! Excited to see this normcore island! :3 I only recently started learning to use custom codes, so it's going to be nice to see how you use the in game paths :D I don't remember my first favourite villager but Skye is my favourite. I see her and my heart just flutters with happiness. Definitely my current comfort villager. Molly is 10/10 beans :3
I think you should keep Sydney because normcore seems like it would include keeping all the villagers you like without worrying about having a perfect set of villagers
My first ever favorite villager was Frobert! He was my first ever Jock villager and I simply adored him. Now my favorite is actually the Sisterly villager I got on that very same island: Shari! I still love Frobert though. I also really like bearold, I’ll be honest.
This is so refreshing to watch bcz I never knew how to start and have fun while decorating, but watching your video made me have so much fun and I like watching your videos and decorate ❤❤ please keep up these really amazing videos 🥰
Marshall is so adorable 🐿️❤ Also my favorite villager i go from my first time playing animal crossing new herzion and still on my island is Peggy because me and her have so much in common and i relate to her
I'm obsessed with the clean and minimalist vibes! It feels so open and airy!
I’m loving it to 😊
For the little beach in front of Beau’s place, a little soccer field would be adorable!
Don’t forget the Tiny Library item! It’s another underrated Normcore thing!
I remember many islands in 2020 having DIY/item trading stalls, I think that would be cute for nostalgia! A gyroid growing area, rainbow flower garden, vegetable garden, star gazing area would be great for this island! Excited to see it come along and get ideas for my own island 😊
Ooh! A pumpkin patch/little pumpkin garden would be very fitting for this build!
I remember everyone making diners using the dining furniture as well as residential areas with hedging around the houses! Also orchards, with every fruit in straight lines, no variations at ALL LOL
Marshall is cute. I fell in love with Gonzo and Sherb, they are on my island forever. I would love to have Ankha. Molly is always 10 out of 10
Ankha is my birthday twin 😊
I love Sherb too. I think he's precious. I haven't had Gonzo yet though! he looks really cute.
Oh my god! Gonzo is my all time favourite villager. Soooo underrated 💛
I feel like melissa should try and get one of every villager type (lazy, jock, etc) bc thats how we all used to play
So excited for this, I'm doing a non terraforming no codes island aswell, and no treasure islands should be fun lol. Looking forward to the rest of the series
I couldn’t go without the treasure islands 😅
I love this theme!! It’s my favourite! Oh and a classic idea: post office!!
Oh yes a post office 😍
Sorry in commenting twice, but I’ve been using more in game pathways recently and I love make shapes with the edges. I’ve done hearts, circles, leaf shapes (round opposite edges and leave the others pointed), and even half circles on the sides of straight paths! It’s been lots of fun and shows up on the overhead map 😊
my first love in acnh was tangy, she was the first villager i found and she is still in on my island today 🩷 the build today is sooo cute, i‘m excited for the series melissa! thanks for your amazing content 🩷☺️
Awww tangy 🥹
Bye biscuit, hello BEAN!!! I’m so excited to see your take on normcore 😁
Yay I’m hope you enjoy the series 😊
I recently started playing new horizons and I love this kind of videos, this gives me a lot of nice ideas for my own island and its so relaxing to watch on my second screen while playing myself the game. Loving your designing style
Love this! So fun and nostalgic seeing an island being decorated the way they were back at the beginning. Very well decorated and Molly is 100% 10/10
Wow I am actually shocked at how you just threw all that together!
I don’t have Nintendo online so I can’t do any of the fancy code stuff so watching you do “norm-core” is honestly very inspiring for my island!!
my first villager was sherb as soon as i saw him i instantly fell in love 😭 he’s so cuteeee
OMGGGG IM SO EXCITED! Whenever I see you post, an instant cheesy grin forms on my face! 🐿️ 🐿️
Awww thank you 😊
I looooove Marshall. He's never leaving. After 4 years I finally got coco and I'm in love . Clay is awesome too!
Yes a lot of inspiration and a lot of motivation.. also keeping me company as I listen on speakers while playing myself it's really comforting
This is so cuuuuuuuuuute!

Looking super forward to seeing what comes next! :D
Awww thank you so much. I love having villagers I’ve never had before so I try to change them up for every theme I do. 😊
Also, I know the villagers were in the way but I’m jealous your villagers actually use what you’ve done. It was adorable seeing them sitting in the areas you made, Molly drinking tea, Marshall sitting at the table with you. Absolutely adorable and through the roof cuteness.
girl i was villager hunting watching this, when u said how molly was cute i thought of how much i wanna get her, LITEARLLY in the same moment i saw her...... my heart dropper lmao
Melba and Maple were my first favorites. I still have them on my island that I've had since Day #1. All my other villagers have changed multiple times
Awww they are such cuties 🥹 I don’t think I’ve ever had Melba though
Love this theme!!! My theme always ends up Norm Core😜
My favorite villager is Sheldon..he always makes me laugh!
Can’t wait to see what you do 😁
That is super cute! Stitches is my favorite! He has to live on all my islands no matter the theme. He is just the cutest.
This is so nostalgic! My first build I was really proud of was a Chinese/sushi restaurant, and my first favorite villager was Maggie! I still love her
i’m so happy i found this series because i don’t play online so normcore is all i got!! but i terraform and waterscape 🌟
I fell sooo in love with Clay, Genji and Beau, a forever place in my heart
Raddle was my first love in this game. But my true love is Peggy. She makes me so happy
10 beans for Molly. My absolute favourite is Roald. I started playing in May 2020 and he was one of my first two starter villagers. I’ll never let him go! ❤

Also some items I recommend:
Streetlamp

Plain Wooden Shop Sign
Drink/Snack Machine
Stall
Birdbath
Tiny Library
Phone Box
Awww thank you for some ideas 😊
@@MelissaVerseof course! Love watching your videos 💜
I’m actually obsessed with this island so far!! I’m getting so much inspiration!

So excited for this series! I started a normcore island but strayed away from the style on accident and now thinking redoing it all!
i love how the island is turning out!!! its so refreshing!!
Roald is my first love! I restarted and have been hunting for him for months and got him TODAY! I'm excited to watch this challenge. Normcore is my favorite ❤
Awww yay congrats on getting Roald 🎉🎉
I love normcore; it's so easy and relaxing. That's what I'm doing with my Forever Island!
Immediately fell in love w Alfonso!! He was so adorable and always made me smile and laugh
This is lovely! I think it would look even better if you put the dark dirt path underneath the flowers around the fountain! I love how you filled the space while making it not cluttered
I was thinking of doing that but still undecided 😊

Sounds great maybe even a cake stall if you have room?
@@MelissaVerse OMG YES! Like have a little sweets or bakery stall!
Whenever I first got into animal crossing, I wanted New Horizons but had to make do with pocket camp. Goldie was my favorite from the day we met. I haven't had her on any of my islands but I hope to one day :)

ahh I can't wait to see how this island turns out! Sydney is my birthday twin, she's so sweet 🥰
My favorite villagers is Stella. Got her on my first island and she's been my favorite ever since
Rosie was my best friend on my first island and Marina was my first villager find and I loved her 🥰
In 14 days I get my wheelchair I've been waiting 6 months for. It'll be fun to count down the days with your videos!
Can’t wait to see you do the beaches! I’m planning a tourist-y looking beach build on my island
OMG When you asked who our favorite was, I immediately thought of Rosie (I was like 7 and she was my best friend in wild world) and I hadn't gotten on in a few days and she moved away and I CRIED
Youve become one of my comfort channels herenon YT, i am so very looking forward to how Bean goes🎉❤
Omg, you’ve done more in one day than I have in three years 😂😭
What a beautiful start to your new island. I really wish I could get mine to turn out like that. Loving the theme, and looking forward to your next video.
As someone who just started a norm core island I am exited to take inspiration from you! ❤
I'm so excited for this new series!! I was also thinking about doing the same theme, so your videos are going to be a big inspiration really!!
I reset yesterday for a normcore island and now I am already working on it, what a coincidence!
so excited for the new island!!!! also how lucky that you ended up with marshal
He’s one of the cutest smug villagers 😊
That’s so refreshing to see some normcore builds!
my first favorite villager was dom, i remember watching a streamer hate on him and i thought it was so funny because i think he is just the cutest little dude!!
omg I haven’t watched you in so long so glad I finally got the time for it again!! lovely build as always and I love your voice btw :DD
For a while it was Juilan. He just randomly moved in one day and I instantly thought he was so cute and unique, but now Curlos has taken his place. Marshal's alright. I get why so many people like him but he's just okay to me. Molly on the other hand gets all the beans. But maybe that's just because ducks are my favorite animal.🦆
I love this so much! It is super cute how your villagers enjoyed the area as well !
I never thought I would be a fan of norm core but this came out soo well!
Me to and its honestly so refreshing to 😊
Marshall is my favourite villager. He's so cute! 🥰
My first ever autofill villager was Peaches and I love her so much ❤❤ Goldie is my all time favorite though, followed super closely by Fauna 😊
You are incredibly talented at designing an island!!
Omg this island is coming out so cute! I just found your channel through this video and I'm definitely subscribing and looking forward to more episodes of this series hehe❤
This is such a cute build!
A colorful playground would be so cute!! 😊🥰💖
I think you should do a volleyball game or something like that maybe on the beach or something like that
I love it! I am working on my normcore island because I don’t have online access. It’s been fun
Molly was my first favorite villager. She is the cutest 💛
for the garbage area maybe try some scattered papers? just a thought. Love this island!
Lily the frog!!!! When I was little and playing wild worlds I became so attached to her!!!
maybe add some different pathing (like the darker dirt) under the trash area to really make it feel sectioned off. this is looking so cute so far!!
My first favourite villager was definitely Ketchup. I still love her after all this time. 🥰
Marshal is the best villager!!! 🐿️🐿️🐿️
PS: at the end of the 14 days you should time travel to November to see how the grass and trees fit with the build!
YES. I’ve been waiting for this. IM SO EXCITED.
Omg normcore island ! Finally, I'm so excited. Thank you so much, aaaah I ALREADY LOVE IT. 😭❤️🌱
I’m already in love with this island. I’m so excited for this island❤. I’m in love with Beau❤
Yay I’m excited to build more and more 😊
My five year old and I love your videos. She would like to make the suggestion of an outdoor art gallery.
Thanks so much for your fabulous content.
Oh yes an outdoor art gallery would be an amazing idea 😊
That stone path is my favourite in game path ! Excited to see this normcore island! :3 I only recently started learning to use custom codes, so it's going to be nice to see how you use the in game paths :D
I don't remember my first favourite villager but Skye is my favourite. I see her and my heart just flutters with happiness. Definitely my current comfort villager.
Molly is 10/10 beans :3

My first ever favorite villager was Frobert! He was my first ever Jock villager and I simply adored him. Now my favorite is actually the Sisterly villager I got on that very same island: Shari! I still love Frobert though.
I also really like bearold, I’ll be honest.
Omg an orchard with each fruit tree perfectly lined up with each other.
This is so refreshing to watch bcz I never knew how to start and have fun while decorating, but watching your video made me have so much fun and I like watching your videos and decorate ❤❤ please keep up these really amazing videos 🥰
Thank you so much 😊
Merry was the first Villager I fell in love with ❤️ she's so adorable and Raymond is her husband 😂 I also have Punchy and Olivia shipped together. 😂
Canberra was my starting villager and I fell inlove with her and still love her to this day ❤️
my first love was peanut in new leaf, however, my first love in new horizons was mathilda
I knew it would be normcore! And I'm so here for it. 🎉
Molly gets 10/10 beans!! She is my favorite 💜💜💜
You always make me want to change my island!! I wish I could have another switch so I could make other islands because I can’t delete my first one
ohhh the entrance is reminding me of my new leaf town and i love it so much!
Marshall is so adorable 🐿️❤
Also my favorite villager i go from my first time playing animal crossing new herzion and still on my island is Peggy because me and her have so much in common and i relate to her
