No time for traveling tonight. I have been a hunter/gatherer. I am so low on wood. I did finally experience my first thunderstorm on 2 mystery Islands. That was really cool!! And I caught an Atlas moth. Now I am off to pack. Tomorrow I get to meet my new grandpup. Eres has arrived! I'll pop in at some point tomorrow evening. Oh, I have worked up a rudimentary tree house. I think I'm pretty happy with it. You are not permitted back into this thread unless you bring puppy photos with you.

Her older sister is also an Aussie but was a mix of mini and full size. She was NOT as fluffy. I can't wait to get my hands on her. I'm also going to give Faye all the attention as dad gives his to the new one. Just a bit of background. As all new parents are, he was very protective of what Faye could do. I was given instructions not to do this, not to do that. NO I could not take her for a pup cup. New puppy? Question last night "is it too early to take her for a pup cup?" Oh how the mighty have fallen. ModChick I wonder if we got our ideas from the same video? I can't remember the name now but I'll look at my video history later today. I'll open later this afternoon or tonight for whoever wants to pop over!

Is it weird to feel bad for my original residents who are living on this island with a clueless leader? I’ve been trying to build up my bells so when I’m ready to start moving things around I can without waiting. So these poor characters don’t have magical little nooks on this island to hang out. It’s still super basic. I see them sit by the fire, or on the beach chairs but more often sitting under trees. I feel bad for them. I’m surprised they don’t ask me daily to leave. I would. I’ve begun looking at you tube, dream addresses, and Pinterest but woah this is overwhelming. I thought I would like all of my houses on the first tier but after looking around...nope.

Yes, all of those places are overwhelming. lol. My suggestion, which I'm actually doing right now, is to browse on YouTube . Then watch the videos with the plan to pick out small areas. In other words, don't think "omg my island will never be like this!" but instead stop the video when you see a small area you like. So I did a search on YouTube for "Asian animal crossing", then as I watch the video I pause for what I might like to use as inspiration. Sometimes I take a photo of it but more often I just do a quick sketch on paper since most likely I'm not trying to copy it verbatim. I just need the layout for inspiration. So I've just watched several Asian-inspired island videos and I have little sketches for: a restaurant, several picnic areas, a spa area, a bonsai area, and a list of several items I didn't even know existed (bamboo hat, samurai swords, a few others). For me, I just need that kick start of a basic layout and basic items. Then I usually switch some of them up for something else, like in this case I'm going to replace many of the bamboo items with cherry blossom ones.

Take your time! I like to just work on little areas at a time, make them cute, and move on. When I try to plan too much, I get overwhelmed...like right now. 😂😂😂 Also, something I've noticed is that you can design a lovely little sitting area with benches and delightful things, and the little villager turds will plop down right on the ground in front of the adorable log sofa you customized for them! 😂🙄 I'm playing right now - If you're online and would like to visit with some empty pockets, I'd love to hook you up with some bells so you can work on your moving things!

I got my fly from the can. Never seen one on the rotten turnips though, just ants there. They are hard to see and disappear fast if you’re running so when I needed the fly I’d go check the can but I’m walk up to and then finally after a few days of the can sitting out I saw that darn fly. Of course once I caught one I saw them hovering around that can all the time after that. 😂 Ok, I will put the can back out and make sure I sneak up on it. We had the hardest time getting the fly! We had to move our trash to a spot where we didn’t typically run past because we kept scaring it off by walking or running past where we had it initially.

I went around saying hi to all of my villagers this morning but couldn’t find Pietro! Finally found him in Able Sisters, shopping. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) KK Slider is giving a concert... Kitt and Nana have been here aaaaallllll morning so far! Speaking of Nana, she moved from my friend Hailey’s island. Hailey came to water flowers last night and visit with villagers. When she got to Nana, she said Nana told her, “What are you doing here? I live on this island now!” ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

For inspiration that is not overwhelming I like instagram and pinterest. Videos are too hard for me to watch for inspiration. First off some people talk to much or dawdle at areas I don't care about and rush by areas I want to see! I like pinterest and instagram because I can study the picture and duplicate the things I like. And the creatures are so unappreciative! Mine ignore most of my cute areas and hang out under trees or by the river banks. Put some radios out and they will gravitate and sing with those at least. Please let us help you with bells!

I miss so many insects and fish because I run around my island like a damn fool! 😂 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ Ha ha ha! Same here! It drove me nuts playing on DD’s island because initially she didn’t place her bridges and inclines in places that make it easier to run in a full loop around her island. And then there were so many trees and obstacles to dodge around. So when we got the second Switch and I could set up my own, that’s exactly what I did. I can’t tell you how many times I reset initially until I got the island layout I wanted! Now with all of my inclines and bridges in place and some strategic terraforming, I could run a race around my island. ![:laugh:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Ivm7lm0DayrhoRpwvCeH.jpg) Practicality rules on SugarSands! I can’t wait for bug season so I can scoop up all the beasties right at home without island hopping to mystery islands. I might have to chop down a few more trees though to make it a little easier. FWIW, her island is more interesting and prettier than mine, LOL.

I had an island full of little spots (currently it’s a disaster) with chairs and hammocks and stools for them to sit and yes they use the areas a bit but more often than not they plop themselves on the ground by these areas lol so don’t work about that at all. Sassy villagers! 😂 My favorite way to get inspiration is Pinterest. I found a few pictures of smaller areas and made them and then just I’ll just wing it for the rest of my island 😁 I agree it’s a bit overwhelming, this game has so many items available but literally just yesterday as I was picking up the plethora of items I had placed so I can carry on with my tropical transformation I said to myself just because these items are in game and available to me I don’t have to use them all.🤪 I had a rocket/space area, a farm area, greenhouse, campground, band areas, surf shack, diner, library, coffee shop, and the list goes on. Really did I need a space area just cause I can build a rocket or multiple coffee area and such. Lol. So this time I think I’m going to try to stick with my theme (tropical resort) for the time being and not just add it because have it. Well that’s my plan. It may become a catch all for everything again 😂 only because I love so many of the designs available (I’ll miss my farm so may have to include a small one somewhere, Oprah had a farm on Maui right!!??) 🤣

Wow, a tough crowd here. Holding this thread ransom for puppy pics. That's a new one!! 😄 I am sure I will be able to oblige. She's an Aussie, full size and just a ball of fluff. Her older sister is also an Aussie but was a mix of mini and full size. She was NOT as fluffy. I can't wait to get my hands on her. I'm also going to give Faye all the attention as dad gives his to the new one. Just a bit of background. As all new parents are, he was very protective of what Faye could do. I was given instructions not to do this, not to do that. NO I could not take her for a pup cup. New puppy? Question last night "is it too early to take her for a pup cup?" Oh how the mighty have fallen. ModChick I wonder if we got our ideas from the same video? I can't remember the name now but I'll look at my video history later today. I'll open later this afternoon or tonight for whoever wants to pop over! I saw a picture on Pinterest! Super cute in pictures for sure but after I made mine and I know it’s lined with loft beds so all I see is loft beds around a base now. When I first saw the picture it took me a while to figure out how they made it. It’s like seeing a magic trick and feeling so in awe then when you do it yourself the knowing takes a bit of the magic away. Haha. Or is it just me that feels that way. 😝

Ok, I'm intrigued. I wanna see tree houses and pup pictures. What is a pup cup?
I don't fret with how my island looks too much. You can tell, right? I'll place items out that I like and try to figure out what to do with them and wait for inspiration. Sometimes, I'll get something from a balloon and drop the item right where I found it to let it drift in my head. It's why my island is a mess. But I don't care. And then I have to work around what the two kids have done and their wishes.
And I love when villagers react with things. It's one of the reasons why Dom won't leave. It's so fun to watch him cool down under the flower shower thing. It seems like I'm always turning off the shower after he uses it. Diana loves to touch the bamboo doll. I've seen Elle play with the remote helicopters. It's so cute.
BTW Skellinton, DS was inspired by your pond but didn't realize till a later trip that he found the exact same path as what you have. He told me it was the best one he could find.

I had a diner because everyone had a diner. And a gym area because everyone had a gym. etc. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/OrTI4SBmZ2ZYSFv6ag4f.jpg) But then I realized that I didn't really like them. I mean, I hate going to the gym irl, and my island is named "Peaceful" but to me diners aren't peaceful....lol. So I took them all down and put up areas that were more "peaceful". Now my plan is to make rooms of both of my houses into those things -- gym, diner, science lab, plus holiday rooms -- so I can use the items but they won't be visible on my island. I first started to set up my house as a regular house...bathroom, kitchen, living room, bedroom... but then I thought why bother? I hate to cook irl so why am I making a kitchen in the game? lol. So I'll just do the themed rooms. I am keeping a peaceful bedroom though, and probably a living room also, at least in my house. My second profile's house can have all themed rooms.

So, now I have a problem on my island, and I'm going to blame all of you who have talked about tearing everything down. Originally I thought I'd make all these cute little areas with the cherry blossom items, then time travel back to April 1 so I could see them all with my trees pink at the same time. And I planted a LOT of trees. omg... ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) But now I'm just not feeling it. Now I'm picturing myself taking everything down from the main level -- at least in the middle where all the trees are and where there's some terraforming... making everything flat, THEN building up my little cherry blossom areas and then putting the trees back in. Instead of trying to get my blossom areas to fit into what I have up right now. sigh.. lol
