Retro 70s-Inspired Hippie Island Tour in Animal Crossing

[@Aryditymi]

The gyroid as a bong is so funny 😭😭😭

[@mevrey]

it’s so clever and funny

[@nousernamefound.7]

no its not, its a bastardisation of an innocent children's game

[@alyssastack1213]

@@nousernamefound.7Calm down. It’s not just for kids as clearly you have an interest in it in some capacity if you are watching videos yourself. And if a kid visited the island and saw it they wouldn’t know what it was supposed to be anyway. Take a chill pill and worry about something that’s actually important.

[@nousernamefound.7]

@@alyssastack1213 telling me to go and do drugs just because of your concept of what's appropriate and what isn't is seriously messed up. But hey don't worry. If i looked like you, i would have to resort to drug use too to keep me from offing myself lmao.

@@nousernamefound.7 ​​⁠ hey i know it’s been two months but i really hope you’ve grown from this behavior. saying things like “i’d off myself if i looked like you” is really not okay. think before you speak.

[@tasha5605]

Hi Lex, thank you so much for touring Eventide!!! Its been my one and only island since launch day, and all the photos in my house are indeed ex-residents! Oh! And my top artist on spotify this year was Orville Peck ✌️💕

[@swamp7child]

How long did it take you to do this?! And did you plan it out beforehand? I'm struggling so much. I get so frustrated and then give up lol

[@tasha5605]

@swamp7child according to my switch I've spent 1900 hours playing the game 🥴 No prior planning whatsoever! I'm more of a gardener than an architect... I just build what I feel like building and it has naturally grown and evolved into this over time! I've never flattened my island, most of the terraforming is just editing the existing cliffs and river to suit whatever area I'm working on at the time. During 1.0 it was a horror island. Bill Wibbly had a haunted house. Then I saw the movie Midsommar and the island had sort of a creepy pastoral cult phase. Over time I decided that felt too limiting so it became more of a chill hippie commune with a couple creepy elements leftover! After that my main goal was just making things look as realistic as possible. It's definitely not the most efficient way to build an island though, which is why it's taken me 3.5 years to make something I'm truly happy with 😅 My only real design tip is to pack your non-walking areas super full of clutter, but leave your paths pretty open! For me, the clutter was mostly plants and natural-looking items but it just depends on your theme. And take full advantage of treasure islands so you can use your valuable time decorating instead ! ☺️

[@Urlocalgorda]

where did u get that flower midsommar looking thing!

[@tasha5605]

@ariellynngalan1225 it's called a maypole, one of the seasonal items on the nookphone during early summer I think!

[@joannpelas5101]

I hope you kept Bud and Shep. They are 60's/70's for sure. Bud can pass for any generation.

[@lindahart3781]

In 1972 I had finally got a decent job and could at least look at houses. A new 2 bedroom house cost $17,000. The real estate agent asked me if I was on birth control. Once the shockwave subsided she explained a "woman" would never be able to get a home loan if there was a chance she'd get pg. Previous to the new job, my soon to be X and I produced Folk Music festivals.

[@carriejones4230]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was born in 72, and this decor reminds me of my childhood.

[@imspidermanbro.]

i need to know the exact. fashion tips. i thrive to dress like someone exact from the 70’s.

[@MichealMechanical]

Linda how old are you

No offense but wouldn't you be like 50?

[@SincerelyAlexandra]

Loving the people who were there during the 70s enjoying this island!🥹💖

[@LexPlayy]

RIGHT?! 😭😭💙

[@belle369]

I know, that’s so adorable

[@lellymills]

Mind blown! This island is absolutely fabulous! (And I WAS around in the 70s!😂) The imagination and creativity using the gnomes and astronaut motif is just stunning! Great inspo for some story writing, I think! 10/10 Fabulous! 🎉🥳👍

[@mangotango2399]

this is without a doubt the best/my favorite island I’ve ever seen!!! I LOVE that it’s so aesthetically pleasing without being too much. you can tell every inch has been cared for. soo beautiful!

[@sarahwalkertunek3095]

This island is pure ART. Absolutely stunning !!!

[@FlightRiskWizard]

WOAH !! I have a late 60’s psychedelic rock island, so this is SOOO awesome

[@oryx6247]

this is literally the coolest, smartest, most well-designed island ive seen omg!!

[@nellekx]

This is ridiculously impressive. What a mad trip that was

[@katybishop9739]

By far, the BEST island tour I've seen!!! Tasha did such an amazing job. Thank you, Lex, for posting!

[@ElvenFairie]

I recently visited a different island named Eventide (equally as gorgeous) and was totally blindsided this was a completely different island! I absolutely loved the 70s theme!

[@mcstevieboy]

my heart dropped when you said bill wibbly and my head whipped back to the screen like i got war flashbacks 😭😭😭 love this island!!

[@ladykupo]

This island honestly gave me life!!! The colors, the vibe, all of it...just perfection. I was geeking out. It felt perfect. It felt nostalgic in some weird way. Honestly one of my favorite island tours I have ever seen! I love your tours, btw. "Definitely not a dispensary," you crack me up! I was born in the early 90s, so not a 70s kid, but the vibe was done so well!!! Top artist was Above & Beyond because I will always be an electronic trance nerd, no matter how old I get. ❤

[@MissKathyG]

This is so cute! I never thought about adding a lore to my island. Getting so much inspo from this.

[@SmileyBandit]

Infinity out of 10⭐️ This was such a fun tour & hearing Lex have fun made it all the more awesome 😍

[@Spaghettibetty757]

This island is top notch! The gnome lore is sending meeeee 👌🏻 My top artist atm is Doja Cat!

[@crystal8839]

Omgoodness this island is just absolutely incredible! Im actually going to have to visit it myself! How creative Im taking all notes.

[@SolarBeamInk]

BillWibbly is 3 gnomes in a trench coat

[@hailyjudd7973]

My top artist was bring me the horizon (again) Also absolutely loved this island tour! It's stunning!

[@averysmith9943]

[@h4h4j0k3s]

IM SO AMAZED BY THIS ISLAND the creativity and lore and terraforming WHATTT!!!!! my fav island so far! and the top artist was ROAR :3

[@beaniby]

STUNNING! This is one of the most unique islands I've ever seen... the use of every single item, custom design, and greenery placed so intentionally & beautifully. What the heck, you're awesome @tasha5605!!

[@beaniby]

almost forgot-- my top artist was 100 gecs :)

[@embarrassedcap]

7:50 I love this use of the Mini Car! I think the item is styled to look like a Suzuki Samurai, but it does bear resemblance to the old Jeep Cherokees.

[@1cecesea3]

this is one of the coolest islands ive ever seen, so so creative and intricate its incredible, i can see myself rewatching this video just to see this island again

[@mistystrong497]

This was such a cool island 😭🙌🏼 I’m definitely going to dream on my own and check it out in person lol

[@vanadiumlight]

This was amazing! I kept seeing an item I've never seen before... like a little VW van statue?? What is that? It was in a resident's house and displayed outside somewhere too! I need it. (also around during the 70s btw) My artist of the year is, as always, David Bowie!

[@tasha5605]

It's one of the items you get for downloading Pocket Camp on your phone! Vintage pocket camper :)

[@cityfolkwii]

this was seriously the coolest island i've ever seen

[@Melissa-tw2gp]

My house (in the game) is 70s themed but this takes it to a new level! Also, gotta love the Midsommar plants.

[@Cerridwen_137]

This island was amazing- one of my favorites so far. And Im proud to say my top artist was Atlus/Lyn lol

[@grasswithflowers2991]

The puddle under the swimsuit 🥹

[@DianEnglish56]

Such a Cool island! The creator captured the 70’s vibe so well! Love the gnome lore.

[@mysdee76]

This island is awesome! I love the use of gnomes. I'm planning on using gnomes on my island but as something good.

[@sharonsylvester99]

This is absolutely my favorite island ever!!!❤

[@sappphhirrreee]

[@junelaria]

[@wizfhelipe]

Llevo dos semanas jugando animal crossing y no me imagino como hacer todo esto 🙀 me encanta, ojala mi isla llegue a este nivel algun dia, amo como logro mezclar las buenas vibras hippies con la conspiración de los gnomos from outter space jajaja amor eterno a esta isla y quien la diseño ♥️

[@honeypot4650]

Thank you so much for this tour Lex!!!! This island has all the vibes and it's truly a work of art. Thanks for taking us along with you. I would love to spend a day on this island irl. Looking forward to more of your content! =) Have a fantastic day =)

[@ariellebc3823]

COOLEST ISLAND I'VE EVER SEEN!!!

[@marikamalaea4253]

That was the best tour I've seen maybe ever. Makes me want to up my building game!

[@akizaazika]

This was my second favorite animal crossing island ever I was sad to find out the creator deleted it to make a new theme but I'm excited to see what new things they come up with 🥺💕

[@queenofsevens]

14:36 i'm very curious about how Tasha got that fencing on the aurora walls? i LOVE this island and i'm getting so much inspiration from it 🥰

[@LexPlayy]

people use glow-in-the-dark stickers!! you can customize them with patterns that have transparency so people have gotten super creative

[@queenofsevens]

@@LexPlayy ooooooo i didn't know you could do that!! that's such a good idea, thank you so much! 💕

[@shellybell4544]

It's a very creative island. Like all the islands i visit, i really dont care for villiagers that are stuck at their own homes. I love bumping into them in random areas.

[@redleafcrossing]

such an incredible island 🏝️❤

[@mannameeves4423]

Thank you so much for putting the custom codes! Def got so much inspo from this stunning island 😍

[@Korikocrossing2250]

Love retro/decade themed islands!✌ I've always wanted to make one myself but can't decide how I'd go about it. I'm a big 60's-90's fan.😻 Thanks for sharing!💌

[@Aryditymi]

This island is so pretty wtf And my top artist was Dethklok

[@zooeyhowell7556]

[@aromanticfranziskavonkarma]

This is such a pretty island! I wish I had the eye for making my island actually look good like Tasha does Also I'm seeing people putting their top artists here so mine this month was Will Stetson, I just found out about the tracks from CHAINSAW HEART that never got uploaded to KZbin and I've been listening to first death on repeat

[@soupoup]

I love how they named a resident bill wibbly nice reference lol

[@bellibolters]

[@tiffanyblue6894]

[@lindahutcherson115]

This is someone's brain working and not tripping all over it's self...lol

[@julesyrulesy]

at 14:24, what item is it thats making those little hearts float around the statue?

[@tasha5605]

So in Happy Home Paradise you unlock a feature that let's you polish your furniture in different ways, and one of them creates little floating hearts! So you can put them on any furniture piece

[@reygallegos1]

Wow! This video was great and I’ve already visited the dream address right after watching too! Can anyone help me find the custom pattern that looks like a yellow/orange sunflower? I checked through the custom designs in the description. There even happens to be one called “flower circle”. The design doesn’t seem to be available from that designer or any of the other ones for that matter. Please assist! 🙂

[@lisab.8090]

I was going to ask the same question! I fell in love with that pattern too & also couldn't find it. Ditto, can anyone help out with that code please?

​@@lisab.8090 Have you been able to find it? I'm still searching

11:21 my top artist was Jefferson Airplane, I listened to Today 1,426 times 😭?

[@neville2308]

So amazing

[@lirael423]

Why did the gnome with the fruit juice stand make me think of Jonestown and "drinking the flavor-aid"... 😭 I think I've been watching too much true crime stuff...

[@rachelsummers4311]

no you’re def right that took place in 78!

[@MB20fangirl]

Wow awesome island! How does this video last 30 minutes and the island seem so big?? 🤯

[@evelinedevogel]

Beautiful island. Dream code.. sadly removed..🙈

[@tasha5605]

Wait was it really!? 😭😭 idk how it could have been deemed inappropriate, i only used in-game items. Setting a gyroid next to a glowing moss jar is against the rules now???
