HOW TO TERRAFORM: TIPS & TRICKS TO MAKE YOUR ISLAND AESTHETIC // ACNH

[@ThisGirlMarissa]

Dude being new and having a nearly bare island and then seeing these beautiful full islands is so overwhelming lol I’m crying on the inside 😅

[@VOIDINKS]

It gets worse when you unlock terraforming and you think it's gonna be so fun and great but then you realise you don't know where to start and haven't planned ANYTHINH

[@marztheburntoutemo4919]

Same currently planning my island but its gonna be allot of bells to be moving house and destroying inclines and bridges

[@AlvinaYunoa]

Yo me rn

[@SprinkleLady]

same bro 😭

[@Athen-cz1zs]

Ik this is late but the best advice i can give is to first beat the game. Then just pick a small section of your island, hyper focus on that and when you finish slowly expand it until you finish the whole island.

[@dixiiid3842]

I think my biggest issue with terraforming is making all the different sections seamlessly run into each other so everything looks cohesive. You make it look so easy! 😅

Fast forward to 12:00 to skip the tutorial and get straight to the tips! Enjoy friends! Some extra tips: Place shoes or other clothing items as decor around your island! Try placing random items as decor, like flower seed bags, star fragments, acorns, etc. Place picked flowers as an item and they will be placed in a vase! Super cute to place on top of tables. EVERY ISLAND IS BEAUTIFUL- You don't have to follow ANY of these tips to make an aesthetic island, these are just some tips & tricks that I personally use! If you have any design tips to share, please drop them in the comments!! I'm sure someone will find them useful! Have a great day/night friends!!!

This was great! I actually need help about when and where to place cliffs to arrange them in a varying way but not messy looking! I love how your island has so much variation and depth with the added cliffs and paths around the cliffs. You use them to break up space so well.

[@broke_berry_5729]

I love putting down the flimsy tools around like the shovel by a garden or or a watering can by flowers. It adds a little detail/story to the area. Also, great video! Thanks for all the tips! 😊

i need them to give us more spaces for custom designs omg

[@Varunic219]

They need to add "pages" That way when you place designs from "Page 1" and switch to "Page 2" the designs being used on your island will change to the "Page 2" variant from their position on "Page 1" Would make decorating according to the seasons WAYYY easier

GILLIAN go for it, I used to be scared to ruin parts of my island but now I realise it’s not the end of the world and you can just keep redoing it till you like it.

[@puffy892]

here are my notes lol: - add nature to your island (bushes, shrubs, flowers) - place bushes on edges and in empty spaces - use custom designs to spruce up your grass - add leaf piles! - utilize fencing to spice things up - experiment with different items, you never know what will look good - fill small spaces w/ seating areas (chairs, tables, stools, benches) - use pathways (either custom or in-game designs work) - use different sized items to add variation to your decor (tall + short) - place fish and bugs as decor - their cages may be unique (grasshoppers, goldfish, etc) - put trees in the middle of your pathways - try different things!

[@linwood891]

My island is such a mess because I’m new and I don’t know how people do these sorts of things and I’m only 6 days into the game and I just feel so jealous because my island is so complex I can’t design it Edit!
