Building a Neighborhood That Looks Cute on my Map?? // animal crossing new horizons speed build

[@Cloverhandcrossing]

I'm not going to lie, hearing you say "I care about you" Made my day, my mental health hasn't been great recently and that was exactly what i needed to hear. Thank you and I love your videos so much

i feel like neighborhoods would be easier to design if you could change the angle of houses

Yes that would be great

Yeah, and a flat screen camera angle for trrraforming

Unpopular opinion: I don’t like overly cluttered islands and like the ones that are super simple like at the beginning of the game

[@-anonymous-8993]

same, exept- mine isnt like simple it has houses and a bit of decor but its like at the same time simple. cant find inspo and it is my sisters island so when i get my own switch imma decor away

same hahaha

[@leonelalejandrovazquez3060]

I HAAAATE cottagecore islands, they all look the same and are a nightmare to explore

[@sophia.e.cooper]

That’s how I was with my first island but I decided on a different theme once I got terraforming which I wasn’t going to do much anyway, I ended up resetting before I finished, I was going to do that with this new island too but know I’m going for an all out tropicore theme! But I still love the simple natural look

[@minimcwitch]

I've been to so many dream islands where I walk within about 10 squares of resident services and quit 😂 it stresses me out so much where you have to figure out how to get around all the rubbish

[@luckybunny9456]

I suffer with depression and you reminded me to get up, drinking water and take care of myself. You don’t know how much I need that in so many ways. Thank you

[@quenepacrossing4675]

Oh wow!! my very, very first villager neighborhood was a circle of houses like this. I put a pretty fountain in the middle. But then once i got more than 6 villagers i started changing things around. I had completely forgot about that first build! 🥺so nostalgic❤️

[@mantra_ephemera]

I had all my villagers in a circle, but yeah, at 10 it was a bit difficult. smaller circles makes more sense!

[@aloneinmidnight]

this is so beautiful! i along with everyone else really stopped with the ~normcore~ when cottagecore popped off last year and haven't really looked back so it's so refreshing to see something more urban and normal looking and above all, SYMMETRICAL!!!!!!! my unpopular opinion is that bangle is the cutest villager in animal crossing, i love her to death and i think overall the tigers get a lot of unwarranted hate!!! this is a tiger stanning zone!!!!

Unpopular opinion (I think) - I really like the first 2 villager interiors. My starters matched them pretty darn well. Mira has a great colour scheme and Hamlet seems like he would put no effort into decorating lol

[@hannahdavis4256]

I agree! I have Lyman and his starting interior fit him so well! It was really green and had really cozy vibes.

[@fairycrossing9958]

saaaame

[@amandaslough125]

I'd keep Mira if she was a starter. She's supposed to reference Power Rangers and Sailor Moon, and they gave her a theater house.

[@dinowhizz444]

@@amandaslough125 she was one of my original two and her interior matched her perfectly: bright, colourful and it pops. Mira is also pretty nice too. Tbh I'm not a huge fan of her theatre interior since I just prefer interiors that are actual houses :/

I got so attached to them I can’t imagine my island with out them

[@ripjordynn4482]

I agree HOWEVER, I have beef with Tammi. her creepy red eyes freak me out. Deli is cute though, one of my faves.

[@Sephelions]

I honestly *adore* Nana. She was my first Nook Miles island villager in ACNH and I'm kinda sad that I haven't seen her since. It's nice to see her get some love :)

[@c-button9423]

Whooooaaaa, beautiful job! The tropical look gives it such a warm and inviting atmosphere. It makes me want to use more coconut trees around my island. Also, I didn't realize you could put items under the nuptial bell; I'll have to remember that! Thanks so much for the shout-out. I really love what you did with your neighborhood! Building anything in ACNH feels like it takes an eternity, especially when you have to move buildings around. But your tropical neighborhood is gorgeous, and well worth all that effort!

[@KatieCozyway]

I'm loving this build, Lex!!! Definitely a fan of neighborhoods and this one gave me so much inspo for my restart!!! 😍😍😍

[@ajschlosser17]

I love this build! I really am digging the tropical vibes for this neighborhood! And it’s perfect for the summer as well! 😍 honestly I’d love to live in this neighborhood!

[@SpiritOfMarowak]

Unpopular opinion: I don't think we need constant new items/updates. I've been playing Animal Crossing since the Gamecube version and I always found it's the sort of thing where you make your own fun, be that in helping villagers or in the more recent releases, decorating and landscaping. Fantastic build!

I absolutely love this. So glad I found your channel. I was struggling with creating a neighborhood. I knew I wanted the houses together, tiered, and a beachy theme... but I was overwhelmed on where to start. Thank you so very much for this tutorial. It explains things so well. Thank you also for your focus on mental health. In this day and age it is critical to be reminded of that. God bless! 🙂

This build and the infinity pool build inspired me to try out the layered fencing on my island and I really love it!

[@sadness3437]

This inspires me so much, I always had a hard time thinking about how to place the villagers houses (they were always too far, or way too close), and this could go well with the "theme" im thinking!

I wish my island wasn’t such a hoarded overgrown mess b/c seeing how clean you island is is so peaceful

I've recently been a huge large lattice fence + hedge fan myself. Looks so nice. I like the white because it gives off the suburb feel to me. Enjoyed the vid! My creative brain cells are quite a bit different so I like to see your builds & others for ideas I normally wouldn't think of.😋

[@makemecry6604]

My new is’and has a lot of cats and dogs not because i wanted that but because they kept giving me dogs (my first sisterly villager was cherry) and they gave me cats and dogs when i went to mystery islands or when my plots auto filled so i didnt have the choice to have them. I think i have 2 dogs 3 cats lmao

[@Nachel26]

I love it! I did it on my last island..not exact but pretty close. I turned it into a dream address. My first time EVER creating a island completely.

[@iMax_Experience]

Slightly unpopular opinion 😉 I don’t really want anymore special characters to return unless they’re doing something fresh and new. Having the café back would be nice, but if it’s just gonna be the same as in previous games, I think it would get old very fast. I want them to use the characters’ lore in new ways. Also, great video Lex! 😄

Thank you, you made my day! Also I did actually realized that I haven't drunk much water today despite being sick, so thanks for the reminder!

[@willd.4808]

Unpopular opinion: NH is not meant to be previous games with updated graphics, it's its own game & it's only "missing" content if you're constantly comparing it to previous games instead of allowing it to be its own game. This is coming from a massive fan of City Folk and New Leaf

[@caleighhraee]

It is so hard to build neighborhoods for me! I want the fronts of each house to be shown but I want them close. So I definitely think I’m going to try this build! I will also have it on the left side of my island cuz it is empty over there lol. I moved the shop and the tailors and museum to the right side so it’s clustered over there. Thanks for the idea!

9:00 idk if this is just a me thing, but i like to put the middle design first everywhere i want it and then to the edges as required.

Not sure if the same applies to palm trees specifically, but you might want to grow them elsewhere first where theres open space then plant them in between the fences because they may not grow otherwise. The place looks great btw, really nicely done!!!

Freya, Megan, Raymond, and Bluebear are my dreamies, but I've only ever had Bluebear in wild world. My islands are always filled up with other villagers because they're all so precious. My first island (my first AC game ever) was filled with all kinds of different villagers I had never heard of before. My dreamies are only dreamies due to personal attachment, but there are just too many good villagers for me to only want to get them.

@@hannahdavis4256 I get new villagers and I'm like "hmm alright. Not who I had hoped for" but then as they stay longer i notice little quirks about them that i like.

I have a more traditional little neighborhood for my villagers with 2 streets all connected by 1 street leading to the museum and all the villagers have their own little yard fenced off just for them so while they are all together, it doesn't feel too crampt because they all have their own personal space in the neighborhood. Only downside is that it takes up a lot of space as you probably already know but its worth it for them to be happy even if it means I have less land ultimately for making my own living area or for practical things like flower breeding areas and whatnot
