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?

[@bunnaily]

By putting down others ​@@emily.h-p

[@mehdigeek]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@uva19274]

@@haylee7951 same, ppl have made the game into a more decorative game like the sims. nothing wrong w/ that tho its just not meant for me, i end up resetting every time 😂so i decided to pay it slow and not time travel

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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. ❤❤

[@mfraye12]

I love that you leave space to walk around things! I see a lot of people with houses/rooms that just have so much decoration that you can't actually walk up to because it's so crammed together. It makes them feel like Ikea showrooms that you just look at, but yours feel lived in and functional. I love it!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 😭

[@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 😊

[@unfilteredmagic]

thank you for the island tour!! this is seriously motivating me to go through the HHD add on so I can redesign my island villager homes too

[@elliemccartney]

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

[@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

[@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 💕

[@decemberrrrrrr]

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

[@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!

[@jakeb.6487]

what a gorgeous island!! i'm a cluttercore boy myself but i still ADORE seeing simpler islands that are designed to still be playable!! while i'm going to have a cluttercore island, i'm trying my best to keep my first island as accessible and playable as possible, so islands like yours really inspire me! i especially adore your villager neighbourhoods... matching flowers AND trees for the villagers is such a cute idea! i'll definitely be taking inspiration from your island!!

[@akaga434]

Your island is so heartwarming and sweet! I especially loved your house with all the yellow and earthy tones and fruit themed items, feels very nostalgic.

[@RosaLev9]

I just recently started my Day 1 island because I had gotten so frustrated with how it was going and didn't feel like tearing it all down again, and seeing your island has given me so much inspiration!!! I'm really trying to focus on having things be very natural and not as cluttered and almost industrial as my original one had ended up, and seeing so many simple but beautiful and organic areas of your island is so inspirational. I'm really aiming for a Foresty-theme with some Fae vibes mixed in.

[@chelseablossomgames]

im excited for you to try something new!!

[@manofcorn5930]

This island is so refreshing!! Most islands stress me out with how cramped and maximalist they are, but yours felt easy to navigate while being beautiful still. And your house is a house i would adore living in, great work!!

[@user-rn4ek9vn4f]

The houses you’ve designed for all your villagers are SO cute!! I was just sitting here going AWW the entire time and getting inspired! I understand being shy to share something personal, but your island is so unique and stylish and that I’m glad you shared! 🎉

[@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!✨💕

[@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

[@ferminnadal7641]

Your island is so nice! I love how detailed each of the villagers house is! It inspired me!

[@ari.beanss]

this is sooo adorable, i absolutely love you’re island and i actually take a lot of inspiration from Liss the lass for my island and have my own little gyroid area as well!!💌🧸

[@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!

[@lumentia6576]

I love your island 😍 it feels really good to see a casual players island. And I absolutely adore how you decorated the villagers islands and gave them personal stories 🥹

[@Tlynn86CG]

What a charming and thoughtful island. I really enjoyed this tour and seeing all of your beautiful areas, the excellent house decor for each villager, and I especially loved your secret garden! You also have a pleasant, calming voice. Thanks for a great tour!

[@vidaemlivros]

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

[@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

[@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 🥹🥹🥹

[@deniseantonio7700]

Just getting back into ACNH and this really inspired me! Your island is soooo cute and especially the villager homes. I honestly didn’t know we can edit them now! So excited to work on mine!

[@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

[@lexilu8331]

Not me finding your channel, loving it, and seeing you only have 5 videos 😭😭 I’m ready to binge watch you. You’re so relaxing.

[@chelseablossomgames]

more coming soon i promise 🫶🏼

[@borgir4458]

You have such an eye for interior design

[@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!! ❤❤

[@winterzealot]

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

[@charlie_forever]

I cant believe how well you made the clutterness, all the yellow, and functionality in your house work, it is soo gorgeous!

[@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 😊

[@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

[@Elle-rw3se]

Ahh so refreshing to see a normal island! I stopped playing because I was so overwhelmed comparing my island to the themed islands online. This is beautiful and fun but not over the top. You can tell you enjoy the game and play for yourself

[@SimplySimmy]

That was such a fun island tour! I totally get how touring your island feels a bit weird since it's something so personal. I still feel like this about my forever island as well. And I have Drago too! He is just the best. I adore your ceramics studio and the lighthouse illusion, I might try something like that. Your interiors are just wonderful, I love watching interiors in ACNH. Your stories about living in Japan were also super interesting, would love to hear more about those in your future videos 💗

[@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! ❤

[@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.

[@LizzVisions]

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ISLAND TOUR!!! 😍😍✨I just got ACNH yesterday and I'm binging sooo many great videos this is one of my favorites!! I love all the creative themes with your villagers houses!! The MANGA BOOKSHELF in your room IS AMAZINGGGGG omggg !! And you have a lovely voice! 🌷✨

[@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

[@dachzi3gel]

Your interior designs are SO gorgeous omg

[@soph8855]

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

[@clart1738]

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

[@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

[@Korikocrossing2250]

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

[@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 😭

[@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. ❤

[@chocowonbin]

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

[@Roxymbb]

So much inspo! Especially love all the rooms in your house, the campsite, and all the villagers houses

[@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

[@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!

[@kraftikristin]

Such a cute little island! I've recently felt stuck coming up with ideas for decorating mine, but this gave be a boost of inspiration! I love the gyroid garden, the bakery, and secret garden! So well done!

[@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!!!

[@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

[@dinamangarella3703]

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

[@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!

[@aliciascott6464]

This is the first island tour I’ve seen that I love! It’s not so hyper curated. So fun!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 ❤

[@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!

[@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

[@brickfangz]

i literally love your island!! all of your villagers' homes are so detailed and intricate and perfect for each character :) i just restarted my island and this was so inspiring!! i hope to see more ac content from you! :D

[@chalieamullee13]

Your interiors in all the houses are beautiful! Got some serious animal crossing inspo!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@mariap8076]

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

[@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😭.

[@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 :)

[@meganthompson9767]

Your island is so nice and well curated! i love how so many items/areas are related to your real life experiences

[@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!

[@VoodooRanja]

I like how everything has a story. Like the red bridge relating to something you saw in Japan, I think it’s a good idea to add personal parallels like that to the game.

[@hanjovansliedregt6987]

Wow! This is the best looking island I’ve come across in KZbin videos! Love everything about it, so well thought out and it is GORGEOUS!! Love how you have designed the houses of your villagers, keeping in mind their personality, I’ve started this game a few weeks ago but I will find definitely a lot of inspiration and great ideas from you, THANK you for sharing your island with us! It must have taken so many MANY hours and dedication to make the end result looking so AMAZING!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@iainajaynaa]

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

[@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 🥺

[@OkMavery]

I love how it’s just really simple and cute, I love ur flower garden sm

[@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

[@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!!

[@haleyheflesss]

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 💕

[@amandabrashi4346]

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

[@tinyliloasis]

This is such a wonderful video - the way you describe Dragos home redesign is so heart warming. This is the way to enjoy animal crossing, love love love!!

[@ladywiththepearl]

I love seeing your island! I recently started playing again and this is so refreshing to see

[@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
