    I really like how you explain your idea and then show it step by step! I can never watch speed builds that have totally unrelated dialogue over top I love that you keep pace with the whole process. Will definitely be checking out more of your stuff!!

    You are the queen of terraforming! I remember watching these back in the day but i didn’t have anywhere to terraform, now I have a new island and I know all the little areas I want to make and the aesthetic, but I know I’ll just use the islands existing plan if I don’t learn to play it out!

  • @Maru-ly7xj

    Ooh I really love sunken waterfalls, I also didn't realise a lot of people did the line skipping trick with the cliff breaking! I started doing it since I figured it out, but now that I think of it it's probably not so hard to realise and it definitely helps so much :D

  • @kimberly3299
    @kimberly3299 3 роки тому

    So, I need to tell you that I am very new to Animal Crossing (got a Switch Lite AND the game Feb 2, so I've been playing for less than a month) and this video was the first one I'd seen that was not only SUPER appealing, but also doable for someone like me who was still struggling with what to do. (I've been real hesitant to do any serious terraforming)
    So THANK YOU! I followed your design pretty much exactly (despite how many times you said we could change it up) because I loved the end result so much! The main difference is I connected the mini waterfall with a little stream to also flow into the bottom pool.
    It is now my FAVORITE part of my island and I'm hoping this will make me brave enough to shake things up even more!

    in terms of clearing away lots of cliff- when you take a corner out break the next block beside the rounded edge and it will prevent you from having to dig it twice (i know this makes no sense but it helps when you just have to clear out one line 😭)
