Watching this made me so emotional because seeing everyone’s creations and the joy they put into their islands reminds me of how much I love this game. It’s brought me to know amazing people and brought me a happiness I don’t know if another game ever will. Even with a break from it I am always excited to go back and create

[@Fleurs_]

Aww Neetsa you are so sweet honestly. I 100% agree with you this game will always bring me happiness too! 🤍

[@user-fk4yt5hj5v]

@3smee2012 yep it did 😌💀

[@MEDUSAFANCLUB]

Let’s be honest the hardest thing in ACNH is deciding which style to use

[@aliceeloopy]

Agreed

[@robinofhsr]

And executing it

[@kiraastrid]

right like I want to use so many at once

[@Littledaffodilgirl]

Me who took 1 hour to decide on my island name. Yes… totally the hardest

[@Youraverageoscfan666]

And terraforming properly/making terraforming actually look good.

[@aquariusowl3872]

I’m starting a Christmas Island now because I know it will take me forever 😂

[@Fleurs_]

Good idea i gave up on a Christmas Island in the past as tan out of time 😢

[@Reynoldz.]

RIP

[@sparkle1time]

I am shocked junglecore didn't make this list! Its a very fun theme. If you are into nature I would recommend it. It is a lot of trees, flowers, AND SO MANY SHRUBS! It is worth it and looks super nice in the end. I would 100% give it a try

[@Silly_banana]

I’m doing junglecore!

[@sparkle1time]

@@Silly_banana if you need inspiration check out horriblegaming's junglecore Island. It is incredible and stunning! I often checked out theirs for inspiration when I was doing mine :)

[@Silly_banana]

Alright Ty!

[@JesssL]

This overview is so helpful! I am almost done with my Japanese rural town island and have been thinking about a new theme. I'm definitely leaning towards an autumn Dark Academia island now 🤗🍂🍃

[@josipop]

what’s the DA for your japanese rural town? i would absolutely love to see it!

[@JesssL]

@@josipop Ahhh, thanks for the interest, but I don't have a DA for it, unfortunately. I took some inspo from Pickleton, they made such a beautiful Japanese island (there are some videos about their island online).

[@ellamullins6877]

I’m just starting but I’ve been having trouble getting furniture? What’s the fastest way to get cute furtniture, do u just go to nooks shop everyday?

[@ahyeonedpookie]

My island theme is a kpop theme actually

[@racheroo3989]

This gave me so much inspiration. I am currently working on a cozy mountain town island It has aspects of cottagecore forestcore and a short of vibe kinda like your coastal town island. I want to make it a very natural island but with some very rustic town vibes Sort of imagine a town with vibes similar to stardew valley. Thank you for this video ❤

[@noravasmith6296]

That sounds BEAUTIFUL~! Good luck on the island ♡

[@lovelydeath04]

Grandma core is something I never thought I hear🤣 But it does feel nice and cozy.

[@Fleurs_]

Agreed!!

[@MM-kq6fe]

This was lovely, thank you! 💗 I only missed one of my favourite themes in the video: Mediterranean. I've seen some impressive Italian/Spanish inspired towns using castle walls! Being from the Mediterranean coast of Spain myself I can't help but find myself drawn towards that aesthetic 😊

[@cosygracegames]

This was an absolutely wonderful video! A great blend of classics, ones I’ve never seen before, and a blend of both! Thanks Emma, such a peaceful inspiring video!

[@rowan.]

this gave me so much inspo!! i think i’m gonna do a mix of swamp, witchy, overgrown, forest, swedish, and maybe a little farm inspired island! (so basically multi-themed)

[@Fleurs_]

That sounds great rowan, love that you’ve added Swedish in!

[@rowan.]

@@Fleurs_ yeah! i gotta pay some homage to my heritage! :D

[@rowan.]

@@Fleurs_ now i just gotta find codes for them all haha

[@Reiiven]

My island theme idea is pretty similar!! Good luck on it, it sounds super cool :)

[@rowan.]

@@Reiiven nice! and thanks! :D

[@sparksby]

I loved all these so much, all the creativity in this video is incredible! Also the little social graphics are so cute, amazing job! Also thank you so much for featuring Naporia and for all the kind words, I really appreciate it! ❤

[@Fleurs_]

Thank you so much for allowing me to sparksby!! I had so much fun exploring the island, so beautiful! ❤

[@Djungelskogen31]

I’ve made a type of normcore called kittycore all my villagers are cats and the entire island is very cute 😊

[@Fleurs_]

LOVE cats!!!

[@acnh_polajess4323]

This is such a fantastic video with so much inspiration packed in for all themes!! I just love it! I would also like to say a massive thank you for featuring my winter island in your video, you are just so sweet Emma

[@Fleurs_]

Thank you so much!!

[@helena_dominguezz]

Thank so much for this video Emma!!! All of these themes are such an inspiration💕💕

[@OHLORD1]

0:00 intro 0:22 castle core w/cherrie.crossing 1:10 kidcore w/AJAYY 1:55 winter theme w/ACNH_POLAJESS 2:55 grandmacore w/GRANDMAROSIE 4:01 Pirate theme w/DEBBOS 4:46 space theme with Smalltownwisp ill do more soon!

[@fearofsummernight]

It’s been 5 months

[@fearofsummernight]

What do you consider “soon”

[@ThisisYummy]

Wdym by soon

[@squiddy813]

I was never able to put a name to the theme I wanted until this video! I thought dark academia was something different but it’s absolutely what I was looking for, thank you!

[@ch3r5y62]

I loved all the islands, so beautiful! This inspired me so much, now I know what my island shall look like. I wanna do a mix of forest and fairycore, maybe more in the direction of smth witchylike. Thanks for all the wonderful creation guys! U r really so creative

[@IKRAM-de5ky]

That murder mystery island reminds me of such a cool hidden object game ! A nostalgia love itttt

[@heartsfornaky]

i’ve been thinking of restarting my island for such a long time, but never actually got a chance to think of what theme it should be, this video helped me so much, tysm^^

[@PlushiePoogle]

2:36 is awesome 🤣 I love the way they placed that bridge at 11:02 :O Might steal that, hehe. 12:14 using the campsite as a stage is such a unique idea! o.o All of these islands are wonderful! Thank you for the video! I've tried a handful of themes but I always end up going back to natural / forestcore. It's the most relaxing to me and makes me happy. So, on that note.. I'm just going to pack all my virtual stuff and move to the island at 13:28 😆

[@breadbird]

For my next island im thinking of doing fairycore/cottagecore on one part of the island, and then a kind of civilization or town in the middle, and then a more dark witchy area on the other part, basically whoever lives on the island are going through some crazy things (i mean like witches and fairies thats like crazy) thanks for the inspiration

[@khairunnisasazali5925]

Mine's a no core island, but I'm planning to flatten my island soon and perhaps gonna use the elegant - city core vibes 😃

[@musclemaknae9742]

I really love the mushroom theme and autumn with like overgrown but neat plants everywhere- sorta like dark Acidamia i loooveee that style its really cute and simple 😭😭 but i just dont know what to create i haven't even played this before and looking to get it for Christmas, i played on a 3ds when i was little but i dont remember much from it, but i just wanna make something aesthetic where i can come onto and just relax in the island 😭💞

[@amytheshihtzumom]

Cool video! I love the winter island. I’d love to know how the creator made the circular peppermint candy designs on the ground along with the hook shaped candy canes and holly/mistletoe designs on the ground. All the designers of these islands are very talented. I also love the island that looks like the surface of the moon and the underwater island. I love them all! I wouldn’t know how to even begin to create these cool islands, so my hat is off to these talented designers. Edited for grammar

[@CanadaCrossingAC]

These are great! Jotted a bunch of ideas for the future too! Lol. Thanks so much for including me! 😊

[@Fleurs_]

No problem!! 😘

[@TaraH195]

I bought a nitendo switch three weeks ago and I play animal crossing every single day so far. I really like it! I do not have a theme yet, but I want to have a few themes combined from this point forward. I think of the castlecore, cotagecore , coastal town and natural together. I think my island will turn out lovely, I hope :)

[@Fleurs_]

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! You can do a nice mix with all of those themes ☺️

[@sorrynotsorryforbeingbias318]

I’ve actually deleted my save data because I hated the way my island was going and I’m definitely going to do a grandmacore/farmcore/cottagecore island!!!👵🏻🐄🌾

[@Luna-ii4mx]

Im going to mix Japanese rural with Coastal town and Overgrown I think. And also add some of my own touches. Like I want a snowey mountain area aswell and a big Tuna fish market 🥰 And a goat selling milk in the snowey mountain is a must 🤣 Im excited. Im about half way, been working on it for over a month

[@cozycrosser3950]

This video inspired me so much. Thank you so much for this video. I love it 🌿🌿❤️

[@maddiegough7135]

After a year or so of not playing I’ve finally gotten back into it. definitely going for a seaside town type of vibe

[@Raylongleg]

Wow this island cores are awesome and your videos do give me lots of inspiration Fleurs.

[@schatzi333221]

I don't have switch online so I can't go see other people's islands myself, even though I really want to!! Thank you for sharing!

[@shalisahofmister9775]

Omg! The winter theme! I can't wait for Christmas time!!

[@aesthetic_writer]

I'm currently working on a towncore/springcore island, I think my next might be a coastal town thanks to this video!

[@kidsdras574]

This wants me to change my island theme the people that made these islands are so creative! My favorite was the space/moon theme or what it was. But since I already have an island theme and also some builds done I don’t feel like changing it.

[@tay.crossings]

Wonderful video Emma! Thank you for featuring my island!❤

[@Fleurs_]

No problem 😊

[@pandabear90stardust58]

I'd love to do the fall one it looks really cute and relaxing this video is really inspiring I'm working on waterfalls right now and trying to think of what to do for a theme

[@terzosgloves]

I think i created my own Island theme 👀Ive called it ‘metalcore’ and It’s basically a gothic looking Island But based on my favourite metal bands! (nightwish, ghost ect)

[@Fleurs_]

I love that!!

[@jitterbug4245]

Dark Academia is what I've been working on. It really reminds me of places like Italy, which is where my Grandma is from! I'm planning on showing it to her once I'm done.

[@NoSpaceCowboy]

Taking the castle theme to look like the famous Hearst Castle in California would be amazing

[@Lemoncat29]

I never thought I would say this but I’m doing grandma core because I need something that neither stitches or Raymond wouldn’t fit into to, and grandma core does exactly that plus it’s just cool

[@cherie.crossing]

thank you so much for including my island hyrule in this amazing video 🥰🥰🥰

[@Fleurs_]

No problem 😊

[@WarrellCreations]

Thank you, loved the video!

[@Figs_and_Peaches]

I’m thinking of a structured romantic town next! I’m totally starting over and my challenge for myself is to actually finish the island (I have had so many islands and i don’t think it has ever been properly complete).

[@Fleurs_]

Sounds beautiful!

[@igniteous13]

I like the seasonal themes and such,it makes me feel like I had a childhood once,I also like the pirate theme because I love PIRATES

[@suchcoolmikan6411]

I'm gonna try a glowing kidcore style !! Thanks so much!!

[@madisonculp9070]

i loved playing new leaf as a kid, and i’m glad new horizons is implementing parts of the older games! the only thing i know that i’m doing with my island is maybe no terraforming?? and i want to keep it pretty natural! might do a farm granny 50s thing???

[@totorocrossing3682]

I love every single one of these themes. Personally the more nature like themes speak to me. But after this video I would like to try something else ❤️

[@Fleurs_]

It's always fun to change it up!

[@Intrusive-thoughts.]

The island I’m working on is a kind of everything is fine murder mystery and I’m having a lot of fun with it

[@sadaDore]

Grandmacore💀

[@dinosaurenthusiast3463]

i don't have acnh or even a switch yet but this video is definitely going to be saved so in the future i can figure out what theme i want for my future island (:

[@user-kk4gt7vz6q]

I’m thinking of a Christmas Harry Potter theme. Little gifts for dream visitors, pick your house, things like that, but also really heavy on the Christmas decorations.

[@weezerfan420_]

i LOVE grandmacore it’s what my island is rn :3 it’s so cozy and i love the pretty colors

[@moonenhypink]

Idc how burnt out I am of this game, it’s still holds a special place in my heart 😢 that’s why I’m still hoping for a ACNH 2

[@tuko__.i]

I think like flowerful islands with light paths and like softie style will be my go-to island! It's super beautiful! (It's not springcore bot close. More flowers than trees :D)

[@erwanights5641]

Omg, i just realised now that i make my island in Grandmacore vibes without knowing thats so cool :)

[@olwjsjj]

i now feel like making an underwater castle core island- kinda like atlantis

[@pokelynke8232]

I doing an autumn core with an apple theme as well. I reset so many times to get an island close enough to what I wanted. I didn't get an orange airport, but the rest was okay.

[@Vampiric-Princess]

What's an orange airport?

[@pokelynke8232]

@@Vampiric-Princess airports come in 4 colors. Green, yellow, blue and orange. The colors are for aesthetics and will also determine what items you have in your Nook stop kiosk.

[@Vampiric-Princess]

@@pokelynke8232 oooo I never knew that I thought all airports were blue. lol

[@5hrinez]

amazing! tysm

[@La_La_La007]

Looks so pretty

[@jaysiejustiniano8574]

Wow I'm stunned sooooooo amazingly awesome

[@TheNRCTapes]

I loved all of these islands! As much as I would like to make either a fairycore island or a Witchy theme island, I've been looking for some islands that have a more modern theme to it. I would love to have a more business theme for my island for something similar to it! If anyone has some recommendations for themes, I would love to hear them!

[@fionaflop300]

Mine is a mixture of a sugary sweet candy island with a 60’s/vintage aesthetic, like villagers like Audie and chrissy/Francine

[@UrLocalHellspawn]

My brain wants either like a cherry blossom filled village, or clown town 💀

[@emmahandley7364]

I’m so tempted to do a different theme but I’ve already payed of some rather expensive bridges that wouldn’t fit the theme I’m thinking of changing to :’)

[@moonyartist]

My favourite ones are dark academia and overgrown!!! Definitely

[@XimGato]

if I one day have animal crossing I would like to have a convination of witchy theme, dark academia theme and a little bit of forest core

[@VSangel.]

i really love these ideas, and incase someone else wants another unique idea, i made my island to be like a school campus and put school uniforms in able sisters and basically made the whole island a school campus + houses are like dorms

[@nelcycandia8286]

Thank you so much!!! :)

[@mm2hails]

dark academia but no light academia- btw I love your videos, and your acne outfit is so cute!

[@klarawithak259]

Swamp core is so amazing and I'm still working on it but yea

[@thatmagicmutt]

Im working on a pirate-steampunk island currently, and my next island is gonna be comfortcore (??) Basically it’ll just be things that bring me comfort, like certain villagers, the colors green and white and brown, and some other things 😋😋

[@Fleurs_]

They both sound amazing!! Comfortcore sounds wonderful!

[@Viktoriaa_-]

I personally want to have an island that has many small areas dedicated to something I like (Multi theme)

[@lwjpilled]

I kinda want to make my island the cottagecore & overgrown natural but with orange elements in it because I have pears as my native fruit and my 2 villagers are orange

[@Fleurs_]

That sounds beautiful!

[@user-kk6rq6gg2m]

What im doing for my island is a seasonsl core where the decor and paths change as the season changes x

[@GLITTERBOMBXOX]

Elegantcore, definitely my theme 😄

[@Zemiaza]

I love grandmacore and think after I get everything put down (I just started don’t even have the Abel sisters yet) I will work towards this looks.

[@w1ckedn3ss]

i just got animal crossing an hour ago and now im watching a whole bunch of videos of islands before i start playing

[@Fleurs_]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@victoriabrook6218]

Ty u so much I did this thing to chose my theme on my newest island and I plan to take it slow I’m doing mushcore and I rlly love it alr my island at the start alr looks like it lol

[@Ky-ia]

My question is where the heck are all the villagers living

[@Vampiric-Princess]

Ik it's aesthetic but where are the VILLAGERS.

[@Maddies.coffee]

I'm surprised that a wild west theme wasn't on here. I'm currently working on that theme and it's so fun!

[@Fleurs_]

There’s a part 2 now 👀👀

[@kaizo4217]

As fun as these look to do you have to keep in mind that the shape of the island you get can make or break a project like this, I happened to get a bad shape, so no matter how much terraforming and rearranging I do I'm not going to be able to do stuff like this, I'm trying to the rustic one right now but I can't.. get it right, it's going to be ugly no matter what, I honestly don't even feel like continuing anymore, I used to love this game so much two years ago, but I met my very first girlfriend on this game and long story short she ended up being a monster and it left a lot of emotional scaring so now everytime I open my game it makes me think of her and I can't gain the motivation to put the love I used too.

[@user-qn4tq2jh3o]

I feel like grandma core fits your avatar so fell

[@Ssstrawberrie]

I have kid core island I’m thinking of doing cottage core but I don’t know if it will be easy

[@Looxziy]

You should def do kawaii-core!

[@bb.bellll]

mine wasn't there but my favorite one is just cute and pink things kinds like fairy core but pink and docent really have a theme its just cute and pink

[@Thescrambledmann]

Right now I’m going for Edo Period I was already thinking about that style but then I got really lucky and got a bunch of crafting recipes/items

[@itzmenabila_]

Thank you!! I've been looking for island ideas, can I use it? If not it's okay!, Also, new subscriber!!🤗

[@Fleurs_]

Of course you can! I share so you can all feel inspired :)

[@giraffewhiskers2045]

If I could I might mix “castle core” with gothic and witchy themes

[@edifiedermine9247]

I like to refer to my island as “Home Depot” core, I have a lot of random stuff

[@sailorrosethemagicalwriter]

I just got the videogame bought at an Opry Mills Gamestop in Nashville and I'm thinking of doing a pagan/witch yet mystically spiritual theme once I settle

[@Walkingmango]

My heart goes out to tropical islands

[@Cateyez380]

Just started another island, Fall/winter suburban town.

[@Woodleaf_critter]

The space theme looks close to the game "stray"

[@Erica937.]

Awwww grandmacore is so cute
