a totally casual and normal island tour | animal crossing new horizons

[@chelseablossomgames]

hi friends!! i've scoured the custom designs portal and found most of the designs i used around my island! they are linked in the description in case you wanna use them yourself 🎉 also thank you so much for watching, i honestly can't believe how many of you have been able to find my lil video 🥸 more gaming videos to come!

[@emily.h-p]

It is so refreshing to see an island that is just authentic, and really cared about! Most islands now a days are modded, themed, elaborate, etc., but your island reminds me of the beginning of new Horizons when everyone was just playing how they're meant to. Beautiful island! 🫶

[@chelseablossomgames]

thanks for the sweet comment!! so much of my island was built in those early days and i just couldn't bear the thought of tearing them down 😣

[@emily.h-p]

@@chelseablossomgames no problem! I totally understand getting attached to old builds!

[@Zombina638]

So what? Lol

[@emily.h-p]

@@Zombina638 I was complimenting her island?

[@xxxx-rx7co]

By putting down others ​@@emily.h-p

[@TiggysMenagerie]

Personally adore your use of the OG pathing bc those SOUNDS are the best!!

[@chelseablossomgames]

right?? i wish we could add any of the default path sounds on custom designs, it would elevate them a ton!

[@ChaseCrossing]

I love your island, it feels so fresh and brings me back to the early days before designing an island became a competition on who can fit as many items into a small area. It feels so real and lived in!

[@chelseablossomgames]

that's the hugest compliment, especially since you've seen so many different islands!! tysm chase 💖

[@pamburg5478]

Agree

[@mehdigeek]

your villager houses are OUTSTANDING!!!! I love how you incorporate functionality and storylines to them, love it!!!!

[@MeganPhelps-q8y]

It’s so nice seeing an island like this.! Aesthetic islands are cute but this island like yours keep the soul of old school animal crossing, before it become just a decorative game ❤

[@haylee7951]

I actually was thinking about my island and how it is currently bc I recently decided to redesign it which has been a slow grinding process. But I kinda was like what even is the point of the game now? Decorating? Nahhh it’s playing the game. How it was meant to be played.

[@jiho1988]

I love your island. It's not overly stylized for social media, it's obviously full of things and villagers that you love. I am also a HUGE fan of the original pathing, free ASMR. I enjoyed your video.

[@Juuniiee]

AAAAAH I LOVE THIS ISLAND SO MUCH! These type islands make me feel more relaxed than the more popular islands with a million custom designs. Your island creates the in between that makes me feel nice inside. ❤❤

[@gillianwinzinger9558]

I love that you used so much yellow and other warm tones in your house. It's a nice break from the very white/creamy/pastel look that is so common. The room with the baths is so nice. I love your flower garden too!

[@leixmoon]

I’m new to acnh & your island is so cute 🥲 I love how you customized all of your villagers home based on their personality! So thoughtful ❤

[@chelseablossomgames]

tysm!! i hope you have the best time playing acnh 💖

[@itsmariaa18]

I wish I could experience acnh for the first time again and being OBSESSED. This game kept me sane in the most stressful time of my life and it will always hold a special place. Enjoy it as much as you can

[@blaskiewicz]

also love that your villager homes are accessible and have all the necessities! i do the same thing and just like you try to make their homes match the backstories i give these characters

[@franklymystic]

It's so nice to see someone who has authentically just worked and built up their island from the very beginning. You can tell how much love, and work you put into decorating and making everything just right. Amazing work!

[@december.crossings]

I wasn't the biggest fan of the sloppy sink, but after seeing how seamless it looked in Octavian and Maddie's houses I'm rethinking. Also your garden areas are beautiful

[@chelseablossomgames]

i love the sloppy sink and compact kitchen combo! it makes the perfect lil kitchen

[@kishaewolley]

This is the most calming and detailed island tour ever! And as someone who is obsessed with yellow, I very much approved your resident’s house 💛✨ Thank you for sharing your lovely island to us

[@kiranm8511]

I love ur island! It’s so clean and beautiful! Feels like you can actually navigate while still being super pretty, currently trying to bring the same vibe to my own

[@chelseablossomgames]

thank you, that's so sweet 🥺 i hope you have fun designing your island!

[@agramby2022]

I have been playing for years and I still see new ideas all the time. I love the gyroid garden! Your house is gorgeous.

[@yuchen1118ccc]

Thank you so much! I'm learning English by watching your videos. They're cozy and fun, and I appreciated the shorter subtitle than the KZbin auto-generated one. Your pronunciation is clear, and your pace is so just! I'm looking forward to more videos!

[@LitttleMisssSmidge]

I absolutely love your island and how it wasn’t particularly ‘themed’ but it still flowed so well and it all fit together! Very inspiring to get back to the basics of the game 😊

[@elliemccartney]

love the way you design houses!! keeping them detailed whilst trying to keep items interactable with is a tricky thing to do!

[@Krorin]

Such a beautiful Island! Loved the explanations about how you got the inspiration for each area and ehat you imagine that is going on at each spot. It was really inspiring and you can see how much work and care you put on it.

[@chelseablossomgames]

tysm!! this is a such a nice comment 😭

[@analicearmbruster6441]

ive never seen animal crossing before (not a gamer person), so this was a random recommendation but it was so wholesome and cozy and i loooved it and now i want to play animal crossing! thanks for sharing your island with us, it was lovely!

[@chelseablossomgames]

aww thanks for being here! animal crossing is a great intro game if you haven't played many video games before 😊

[@adrianaverbiest120]

I love your island and the way you talk about every small detail! I love to see more of your creations! Other thing that i liked: You have a very soothing voice, i was studying with your video on the background and i made a lot of progress! You have a new subscriber :D

[@chelseablossomgames]

this comment is so sweet 🥺 tysm!! im glad you were able to have a good study sesh 💕

[@zombioric5890]

I am completely in love with your island! I’ve really been starting to get tired of seeing the insanely cluttered islands all the time, this is so refreshing and your personality absolutely SHINES through it all❤ I’m definitely subbing, can’t wait to see your future content!✨💕

[@little.duck-小さなアヒル]

Wow! this island is so cute, this video has definitely changed my perspective on how to decorate an island. it always seemed to be, ‘cram as much as you can into one square with intricate codes, etc ect,’ this has shown that even though its simple, it can still be gorgeous ✨✨ also, i cant help but see a spirited away refernce from Haku and the Drago right next to each other on the map list :3 great video!! ❤❤

[@gapteeth]

the way you speak about your island in your narration is so full of love, i can tell you really adore this space you’ve created

[@vidaemlivros]

I loved it! The island is inspiring and the interior designs are just amazing, such nice vibes

[@lisbethl5045]

I love your island! It is so nice to see the island of a "genuine" player (by this I mean who really took the time to discover it all and imagine their island the way they like). Thank you so much for your video

[@ItsMaffi]

Gosh, that's honestly sooo cute. Makes me want to get back into Animal Crossing. Haven't been playing in years, but somehow I needed to watch this whole video! :D

[@chelseablossomgames]

ahh ty!! you should go for it! it always makes me a little sad saying hello to all my villagers again but they're usually not to sassy about it

[@eunseokvanilla]

i just discovered your channel and omg I LOVE YOUR ENERGY ily already so nice to see an authentic and smiley person

[@dearestfrances]

i've never seen your channel before this, but it's so calming to listen to you talk about your island! You have such a calm and nice way of speaking. The care in your island is great, and the intention you put into the spaces!! Xx

[@carsongrace9947]

I love this so much. This makes me feel more inspired to play than anything I have seen in so long. I work full time and don't have time for an extravagant, modded island but I do have time for one that is a labor of love.

[@rainbowprism9885]

Your island is so cute and so well thought out and loved it's so good to see! Also taking care of your villagers by giving them such beautiful and functional spaces to live is amazing well 👏 done 👏!

[@alwaysvergaraa]

your island is so beautiful! this was so relaxing to watch

[@winterzealot]

I love how personal, thoughtful, and whimsical your island is! It's so beautiful! This video was so calming and such a pleasure! 🩷🩷🩷

[@MultiBelieber100]

Omg I just got to redecorating my villagers homes and trying to decorate my entire island as well, it’s so intimidating! Idek where to start but seeing your island inspired me so much ❤

[@liwen_x]

This inspired me to start playing animal crossing again. I played like 8hrs a day last summer to try and make my island like one of those Pinterest islands and I burned out so bad and haven’t played in a year but this just makes me want to take it slower and more casually and just design however my heart tells me in the moment 🥹🥹🥹

[@dianegarciaaa]

Omg I just found your video and it's very refreshing (just as other people agree in the comments) to see a casual normcore island. A lot of time I see stunning modded islands or islands where people go all out but it makes me a little overwhelmed or feel like I have no imagination at all LOL but seeing your island is so calming, beautiful, and realistic.

[@kcircleveronica3698]

I loved this video. Even if I don't know you I can tell the island reflects your personality!! Your home in particular is amazing, I want to live in it lol

[@chelseablossomgames]

i wish i could live in my acnh house too, if only i could afford a house that spacious

[@bichettepraxis]

i love this island so much!! i wish there was like a 25-minute video of simply sitting in the gyroid garden... it's so calming... anyways great island!!!

[@chelseablossomgames]

aww that's a cute idea!!!

[@_Random_shorts_8]

Im making a gyroid farm :)

[@feliciaphilibert]

ur house might be one of my faves ever 🥹 I love how cute and maximalist but cohesive and also so very you it is!! the onsen is sick

[@chelseablossomgames]

thanks for the lovely comment 🥰

[@elles4714]

i love all of your little villagers backstories with there houses! it’s so wholesome and my favorite house is flurry’s! ❤

[@xTenshiAi]

your house is so cute!! i love how soothing and relaxing your videos are

[@JenLester-yo9oj]

Only been playing for a few months and I had no idea it could be this way! You’ve inspired me!!

[@craftly_Bixie]

I am amazed on the effort you put in the video with the customized subtitles. I loved accompanying you around your island. Thank you for taking me along. It was really nice to see an island that was build over time and the time put in is visible. Well done!❤ you can be proud of yourself

[@sarap6862]

I love your island!! I like the fact that you can still play and catch bugs and fish meaning that it’s still functional as well as being beautifully decorated. Thank you for the inspiration. ❤

[@EmL-kg5gn]

Omg the last area!!! It’s so pretty and I didn’t expect it at all, I thought you’d already shown everything! I was super excited to collect the train sets too 😍 I had them displayed for ages and only put them away recently because I want to design a different area for them

[@spookysab]

i love this!! my island has a lot of these same elements (shopping center, carnival, flower garden, etc.) but seeing it laid out this way has helped so much and given me so many ideas on how to rearrange things!

[@amandabrashi4346]

Your interiors are so cute! The onsen is so perfect and magical

[@Korikocrossing2250]

Thanks for sharing!😊 It's nice to be able to share something you put so much work into!🌼

[@virginiaandrade8009]

I love all of this!! Truly the coziest of inspiration! I'm saving this for when I buy a Switch with NH and Happy Home Paradise! Right now I'm playing New Leaf on an emulator hearing it was the game with the best personality in the franchise, but with this much beautiful stuff available and things you can do not only inside but outside, I think I'll make the jump😁

[@tobin2307]

this island is amazing and so genuine, thank you for sharing! i love island like these and get so sick of cluttered exactly designed cores and constant custom designs, this game gives us so much to work with and i love when people are creative and make an island for themselves and nothing/no one else! great work!

[@ninascorner11]

This is exactly what i'm doing with my island! I want something that evokes the feeling of the animal crossing commercials and this is it!! It's so cozy and endearing! It looks like it was so much fun to build! It has so much personality too, i'm obsessed!!!

[@reversingmemory]

This is probably my favorite island tour. Very simple but well thought out. I also love how there's a lot of walking space for the villagers to breathe and walk around without bumping into something lol

[@clart1738]

this is legitimately so cute!! my favorite part was seeing all the cute & calm environments & themes you created in your villagers houses 🫶

[@yoitspaopao]

Love your island! I agree with everyone, you brought it me back to the OG way of designing islands. I love the creativity of everyone with their mods and I have been trying so hard to be THAT creative, but your island reminded me that it’s okay to use regular items and still be creative that way ❤ I guess, I’ll just redesign with a better flow and not pressure myself to get all the codes and mods out there lol. Your island is freaking cuuuuuute and functional! 😊 Thanks for sharing!

[@Lazymaybaby]

“I don’t really decorate with blue typically” she says, before showing off many blue villager houses 😉 I loved this tour, the care you have towards your island is very evident. It’s refreshing to see someone who plays at a normal pace compared to others!

[@Shleyak]

Thanks for sharing your island! I loved all the personal touches you were able to incorporate from your real life. I recently started replaying ACNH. Had to start all over because I forgot to transfer my first island to my new Nintendo Switch, but it's been fun :') Glad to see people are still playing and also beyond excited to hear you can decorate the villagers' homes now!

[@soph8855]

I love how you’ve designed your house and the colour theme, it seems so cozy! I also love the secret pink garden

[@c.c.0396]

i love your island. i just started this july and ngl im so pressured. idk how or what to do with my island. i have a theme i want to execute in my mind but i just don't know how to execute it. so seeing your island and you seeing it as a "casual" island definitely pushes that pressure i am feeling. tbh maybe i'll just yolo my first island too

[@chelseablossomgames]

i feel you! my island is 4 years in the making, and i built and destroyed so many sections, so i hope you're able to take your time and experiment with any ideas that excite you!

[@toadstoolthings]

Oh my gosh! I loved your island tour so much. It’s so personal to you and there’s so much heart behind the builds. My island is also a forever island and I built things completely off of my personal preference (I’m also a maximalist). It’s so nice to find another designer who feels the same way about their island and its design. You did a phenomenal job. I adore the pink garden. What a sweet idea. 🥹🤍🌸

[@chelseablossomgames]

aww thanks for your lovely words 🥺

[@sukey1818]

I love your island so much! Especially the onsen, you're so creative and put so much thought into everything!

[@chelseablossomgames]

thanks sukey!! i miss onsens so much 😭

[@Laiiney88]

The struggle for blue roses is so real! Took me months! Love the yellow in your player home, too 💛

[@chiara.5]

I love how you care sm about the island, now everyone seems only on competition. I’m playing Animal Crossing after years and this really give me the motivation to continue playing🤍

[@texasnurse]

Your island is really pretty. I like what you've done with it.

[@auroraauro8032]

You look SOOO niceeee and cute, i loved your island and i loved the japanese theme. i get distracted really fast when i watch long videos but you kept my eyes glued to the screen! i would love to watch more videos of you🌸💗

[@katieb7471]

This is such a beautiful island, and you can really see all the work and love that went into making it, I especially love your islanders houses, you did such a good job with everything. Thanks for sharing!

[@CalemCooper7]

The turtles on the beach are ADORABLE. Your island has convinced me to try making custom designs that would fit with items like that! Your island is amazing.

[@chelseablossomgames]

i personally haven't created any custom designs, but im glad the ones you see inspire you!

[@Qugitable]

Watching your video brought me a lot of nostalgia of playing New Horizon for the first time 🥺

[@kat8506]

Describing your island as a time capsule is a great way of looking at it ❤ mine is also exactly that with almost all the starter villagers still there

[@kat8506]

Also I loooooved the video you're so good at especially interior design ❤ your whole island feels so alive and is a thousand times more interesting than all these "core" islands with basically just one colour and 10 items reused over and over again

[@JennyMulhenny]

I enjoyed this tour very much! Thank you for sharing the ways that you used the items authentically with examples from your irl experiences.

[@haleyhefley2370]

Such a cohesive and comfy/precious town. I just started my forever island and I’m taking it slow and not trying to rush the design of it all. So inspired by your town!! You have such an eye for things🫶🏻

[@chelseablossomgames]

tysm!! i hope you enjoy the process of designing your forever island 💕

[@mecfstraveler]

I like your gyroid area! I have so many and have been struggling with the sheer quantity of them. Having one of each in an area that isn't hyper-terraformed (like the flowers) really appeals to me! THAT I can do. And the plushies? I'm almost 63 and have plushies in my bedroom IRL because I love them! Never too old for them! 😊

[@dachzi3gel]

Your interior designs are SO gorgeous omg

[@EleventhKyber]

i just wanted to say that i love your island AND i also love that you built captions into your videos!!! accessibility is everything ❤

[@einekleinesonnenblume]

Very inspiring for my little island that I started 2 months ago. I like the yellow color right now and your house was very inspiring. Thanks a lot! Greetings from Germany! 💛

[@princesspirategurl12]

I absolutely love your island! Its elegant but in a humble way and I'm getting so much inspiration from it. I think its awesome that you added so many elements of your time living in Fukuoka. I've never been to Japan but I want to visit and I also follow a lot of foreign youtubers who live in Japan (Abroad in Japan, Sharmeleon, CDawgVA, Rachel and Jun); so I've come to love Japanese culture and I recognize a lot of the things you incorporated. You didn't mention it but I also really love how you included the manhole covers. Its a nice nod to the pokemon manhole covers/train station stamp collection. Thank you for sharing this video with us and I'll definitely visit sometime.

[@ray4613]

Drago giving a lil performance was the hightlight of my day 🥺🥺 I love your island; very inspirational :)

[@knowmatter]

This was so sweet to watch, it gave me such nostalgia for the early days of the game where I too grew all my own hybrids (I think that was over two months for me with no time travel). I two of my original villagers (Sherb and Norma). Thanks for sharing

[@luvbbea]

I love every single one of your villager’s homes! You have put so much thought and time into each one, making them all unique to each character and their personality. Could you possibly make a video on your favorite happy home paradise vacation homes and the facilites? I would really love to see it!! Hope to see something new from you soon! 🫶🏻

[@chelseablossomgames]

aww thank you so much! honestly my hhp designs are not my best, but they were great practice for making my villager houses pretty! maybe i'll do a tour of a few of my faves

[@urmancalled]

Your island is so well designed!! I feel like it's rare to see such a beautifully decorated island that's still functional like you said, at least rare on youtube. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@levihewitt7496]

Your island is beautiful!! I love that it’s also so functional and easy to navigate. I have visited islands that are also wonderfully decorated but it feels frustrating to try to walk around it because there are SO many items outside. Your island seems very well thought out and has a lot of personal touches that remind you of your travels. I have the HHP add on but have only customized one of my villagers homes and seeing yours has given me some motivation to work on my own villager’s homes. Thank you for sharing! It was very inspiring! 😊

[@chelseablossomgames]

thank you so much! i hope you have fun playing HHP, there are sooo many cool items and features it unlocks!

[@jessicabolton4140]

Not only was this video so peaceful to watch but it’s given me so much inspiration x this is so beautiful and unique I love it! I would love to see more ac videos from you

[@maregiela]

this is such an adorable island 🥹 i really like it because you take practicality in mind as well (you can move around freely, cute but not cluttered!) really inspired me to finally get my island in shape which i’ve abandoned ever since i acquired terraforming (counterintuitive i know lol) you’re v v lovely too!! much love

[@MichaeleL3]

So so lovely! I loved your thoughtful commentary and I agree with the desire for functionality (being able to catch all fish, etc). Also love how you can move in your villager homes. Your island was so inspiring and beautiful. I think you play the way it was intended. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@larissak1749]

i love your house, i may or may not have copied the layout for myself 🙈 also im surprised you don't have more followers

[@blaskiewicz]

i KNEW you were liss pilled. i love the style of this island and how its not too cluttered. super gorg thank you for sharing your island - my island is so personal to me, so your vulnerability here is recognized and appreciated!

[@chelseablossomgames]

tysm!! great to see another lissy stan, she's the one who got me back into acnh a few years ago and has inspired so many of my design choices!

[@camichsoda]

maddie's house is so adorable 😭 it reminds me of the house i made for ione on my island!! in my head ione's a gamer and makes lives on twitch, so i made her a cute gaming setup, with lights and stuff and her house is all blue, i just love giving my villagers a personality, it's really fun

[@Chunliia]

I really love the fact you used the in game paths! ❤️ Your island is very cute and beautiful!

[@katpricot]

omg!! i have a beach boardwalk carnival on my island too! i’ve r ever seen someone else with one, so cute! i love the way you designed it

[@chananasss]

Lovely island, I love how you made it very personal. Also really impressed with the house decors and the ideas you had for each villagers. I never know what to do with interiors but this is inspiring

[@daMEGatron]

This shopping district really inspired me! I got the game super late (Dec. 2023) so I’m pretty early on in the game compared to most people. I’ve been having a hard time envisioning what I want to do after flattening. I was scared that making my shopping district too small would leave me with too much extra space. But yours works perfectly! I can’t wait to get started now.

[@chelseablossomgames]

welcome to acnh!! props to you for flattening your island, it seems super intimidating but i can see how much creative freedom you can have by doing it!

[@rachelapostolico3781]

I love the secret pink garden!! I definitely want to incorporate something similar into my island🥹💖

[@kaatiiii__]

I really love your island especially the personal designed houses of the villagers 🥰

[@solenedugad8519]

I really like your tour. Most of AC tour now have the host non stop talking 100% of the time, they never stop talking or take breath 😂. Maybe some people like it, but I really like your vibes and how chill your video is ❤

[@mariap8076]

this was suuuch a nice video!! your island is so pretty and the fact that each villager has a story is so cute

[@HollieDaNugget]

Your island is beautiful - I love how you have spent so much time intricately designing your villagers' houses with unique patterns and ideas. My favourite room in your house is the onsen oml that is so cool how you made it look so authentic and look like it's outside honestly amazing. I've been thinking of resetting my island that I haven't been on in like 3 years since I know a lot more about the game in advance. You've inspired me to make a theme and get into decorating - honestly your island belongs on the front page of pinterest lol. Also good luck for your channel! You've earned a sub :)

[@chelseablossomgames]

tysm, your comments are so sweet 😊 have the best time restarting and getting to start from scratch!!

[@dinamangarella3703]

Your demeanor is so pleasant! And your island is so creative and adorable :) Love the flower garden and your dedication toward it!

[@marybethrajottephoto]

I love this! All the super aesthetically themed islands are cute and all, but I couldn’t get past they didn’t feel authentic to the old school animal crossings! I play very similarly, no strict theme just making it how I like it ❤

[@iainajaynaa]

truthfully the best and most comforting island tour i’ve watched so far! job extremely well done 🥹 thanks for sharing 🫰🏼🩷🩷

[@kirbie9686]

I absolutely love your island!! It reminds me so so much of all the cute builds people used to do when the game came out and it captures that aesthetic so nicely. I also adore all of your interiors, I wish mine looked that good😭.
