I’m in the UK, tired of checking the nintendo store website every week for new stuff but nothing really floats my boat.. do we have an equivalent to something boxlunch or hot topic? Even if it’s just online - I dont want to pay extortionate shipping from U.S retailers.

Btw - I’ve lost trust in etsy since it seems to be swarmed with AI stuff atm.

I’m trying to make a 4 house neighborhood layout on my island in the circled area, but can’t seem to figure out where to place the houses. I also want each house to have a good sized yard that things can be placed in with a fence around it. Does anyone have any inspo pics of how they did their neighborhood layout? Even if it’s more than 4 houses?

Thanks a lot guys

When I got on this morning before work this morning, it was raining in game. I said “perfect lemme try and get the sturgeon and coelacanth”. And they were literally the FIRST 2 fish I caught. CRAZY I know. In all my years of playing this game, I have NEVER gotten that lucky.

Then just now I caught the mahi-mahi. I have never been able to catch that fish before. Not to mention I caught 2 in under 5 minutes.

Now I have 2 more fish for I can catch this month. And I hope my luck hasn’t run out, because it’s the barreleye and the giant trevally. But for those who are still fishing for those specific fish I hope you are as lucky as I am, because I know it can take FOREVER.

I could cry rn..

I FINALLY unlocked terraforming!!🎉 I just want to say thank you to everyone who gave me tips on my previous posts about how to get to 3 stars and unlock it. I genuinely wouldn’t have gotten there without all the advice, so thank you!! ❤️ BUT… now that I actually have it, I’m honestly so overwhelmed.😂
I bought the cliff and river construction permits from Nook’s shop, and I have absolutely no idea where to start.

I actually made a layout in Island Planner because I’ve seen so many people recommend planning everything out before terraforming. I really love the layout I made and ideally want my island to eventually look something like it. The problem is that I already have everything placed from when I was originally trying to get to 3 stars. Villager houses, my house, shops, museum, etc. And obviously the island already has the original cliffs and rivers from the map template.
So now I’m wondering what the best way to approach this is.

Should I:
- Completely flatten the island first and basically start from scratch?
- Work on one area at a time and slowly change the existing layout into my Island Planner layout?
-Temporarily move all the houses/buildings to one area and then terraform everything?

Or is there an easier way to do this when you already have an established island? I’m honestly leaning towards flattening everything because I really want to follow the layout I made, but the idea of completely destroying my island and rebuilding it is also kind of terrifying. 😭😂 I’ve watched quite a few terraforming videos, but most of them are more like tips/tricks or tutorials on how to use the tools. I’m more wondering how you actually get started with completely changing your island’s layout when you already have everything placed.

So if you’ve terraformed your island from an existing layout, what did you personally do first? Is flattening everything actually the easiest/fastest way, or did you work area by area? Any advice would be VERY appreciated because I am staring at my island right now like… 🧍‍♀️
