Does anyone trade art? Redd is such a bad mechanic, I can't believe he wasn't changed in play testing. It seems that buying any real art that shows up would be beneficial for others, too.

i hate this since i want to get every bug and fish statue in the game but at this rate it'll take literal years. i hope they change it.

honestly, the only way to do it within a reasonable amount of time is to make extra accounts on your Switch and then create new island residents. i have two on my island for storage. it's also handy if Redd ever has multiple real paintings, or farming Celeste/Gulliver/Gullivarr. Flick and CJ will make a model for each person on the island.

they can technically stay in tents forever, or you can stash them in the back of your island or something. the only thing to look out for is that the game loads slower if you start hitting the island resident limit (8 residents).

Come on down to Sharkfarts, and have yourself a time!

Flick is visiting for all your entomological needs, and the Ables are selling a tuna sushi costume for all your tuna sushi costume needs. Turnips are at 53 bells, don't bother.

It's Jay's birthday, and Blanche is making a cosmos shower. They're right next door to each other on the island across the wooden bridge, so no reason not to say hi!

I'll be AFK for most of the day while working, but you can come into my house and do circles around me if you feel like it.

I don't need or want anything but if you leave me a funny message, I'll be super happy.

Dodo: CLOSED

E: free DIYs by the parking cone in front of Nook's. Take any fruit, flowers, etc. but please don't take my two purple hyacinths if you run across my organic flower breeding experiment patch.

I've finally decided on a long-term development plan for my island. I moved all the buildings to a pretty well-defined city grid near the airport, flanked by two rivers and a cliff, but I didn't have any exciting ideas for the rest of the island. I made a couple of realistic beach areas, and I moved all the flowers to a top level cliff that kinda looks like a tulip farm, but that's it. That was a month ago, and I still haven't thought of anything amazing. So, why not make it intentionally a little wild? Roads won't work for that, but overgrown garden paths might, with stepping stones intermingled with grass. That being said, I don't want to go too extreme; I don't want to have to download a gazillion custom tiles, nor do I want to have to redo the whole thing because the season changed.

So, with all this being said: does anyone know of an attractive, low-maintenance stepping-stone style road set?

I use the in game stone via construction set. You can make it look a little more natural by 1) making a square 2) rounding off a corner 3) erasing the rest of it. Makes the stone angled and only a partial stone so doesnt look same-y.

I can open up my town and afk when i get home in like 15-30mins if you want to see what i mean and/or get some design ideas that dont req time travelling.

That's also how I've been doing my stepping stones.

On another note, if any of you are collecting pigs for whatever reason, I have Pancetti in boxes today. She's got a nice kitchen, but is otherwise unremarkable. Quote this and I'll open the gates.

Edit: God drat! I have Merengue in the tent and she'll only pick Pancetti to replace, which of course means I wasted my 15 day timer since I already told her to move out yesterday.

Whoof...well into my war against the flower menace. Thanks to the folks who mentioned toting a garbage can around, it makes getting rid of them at least doable. I just wish I'd thought to focus on path construction first, rather than clearing the massive flower forests out before putting in walkways. They make the island way more attractive, and help keep the flowers in manageable patches, it's a win-win.

I haven't really done a whole lot with my island w/r/t landscaping or whatever but I just wanted to say somewhere that I finalized my villager roster and I'm quite pleased with it

I've got Cranston, Roald, Zell, Deirdre, Coco, Ankha, Bangle, Cherry, Tipper, and Gonzo, and there's not a single one I would get rid of :)

Deirdre is still in a sleeping-bag house, which makes me feel guilty, but she seems ok with it, and Cranston is still in a dirt-floor house but I actually think it suits him better than his normal house would (he's always talking about the bugs in his floor and stuff)

Honestly after doing that and setting up my house all nice (I have a bedroom, a palatial bathroom, a study, a rooftop patio, a MANCAVE, and a generic Main Room) the only major room I have left for projects is landscaping my outdoor space a little more, I just have very little idea what I should do with it

I am opening my town while I go afk for a while. I am very proud of my town and house so far. It's a relaxing resort town with a nice hotel and restaurant, bamboo and pine forests with winding trails, relaxing eating and date spots, boardgaming, dance club, bongs, drinks, and more. I also have a large focus on music so depending on where you go I've got ambient sound to embolden the mood. Important (to me) to note: I haven't time travelled at all, but someone gifted me some shrooms.

Thanks for visiting and also the feedback.

Spinst: The tables I use for my bar are Lecture-Hall Desks. I tried a ton of options but what I like about these is that they actually connect together without gaps so you can imply that there is a large deliberate structure. Blender is margarita, fruit infused water is cocktails.

I'll be playing for a bit and then keeping it open in case anyone sees this a while after I posted.

edit: nvm. home internet went out. I might open up again later.
