Let's talk about what to do in Animal Crossing New Horizons once you've reached 3 stars and can start landscaping. It can be a super overwhelming moment as suddenly there are SO MANY things to do and so many directions to go into. So I hope this video can help with inspiration and organizing that process.

I’m only halfway through the video and oh my gosh. This video is so helpful. Thank you so much for all the time you put into this video. It’s so well thought out, the explanations are detailed but easy to take in & now I can’t wait to really start planning my island. I’ve had the game since Dec 2020 & I have yet to actually tackle designing my island because it always seemed so daunting. Now I don’t feel that way. Thank you again! 💛

I had 250 hours on my island and I’m deciding to restart because I was so burnt out and it was a pretty ugly island. I’m grateful for this video cause I’m actually gonna plan now

At first when I unlocked terraforming, I ended up taking a break from animal crossing because it was all just so much. Looking online, I saw all the work other people put into their islands and it stressed me out. But getting back into it, I started with things I knew I couldn’t move, like doing around resident services and such. I’m now working on my entrance to my island.

Looking at what other people have done helps me out a lot. After navigating other islands and looking at dream addresses I know features of islands that I not only like looking at, but love navigating more. I can’t wait to keep working on my island. 😊

the villagers after the cleanup: *where did everything go??*

I hit three stars two years ago, and I've never touched terraforming, I had no idea where to start, I think this video may be able to help

I really dislike how you have to decorate your island before you unlock paths and terraforming. It’s so backward.

I was already getting stressed, it's my first time playing the game, I'm in my first island EVER. I feel like my island it's to big and yet so small 😭 I can't even get 3 star don't matter how much I decorate the island, the guy Leif took more than 1 week to spawn to get more flowers, nothing seems to work! But now I know better thanks to your video! Thank you 🫶🏼

Personally, I love to simply keep the terraforming and waterscaping and try to work with them! I love to do this as it is a sort of already made area, but of course, I do take her advice in removing trees! I love to use the 3D planners to make little areas instead of my whole island 😅 But, that’s just how my brain works, so, do as you wish!

I recently unlocked terraforming for the first time and I had no idea how to go about designing an island. The way you broke down your process and the recommendations you made about getting started are super helpful! Thank you!

this video is a life saver! i have restarted my island countless times because i get stuck on the decorating, but this video has really helped me figure out where to start! thank you!

[avarner]

Great inspiration video. I have flattened my island and am really struggling to restart ANY part of it. I think watching this will definitely help me figure out what the heck I want to do with it!

[setphaser]

Incredible terraforming in this island! That’s what I’m stuck with, I’ve got my 3 stars, my codes, my furniture items, and several area ideas… but how the fit together or where the villagers I’ll live I have no idea!

I definitly see the idea but when I started off my island decorating/terraforming my theme for the landscape was like, natural sort of, so I keep the original landscape and added my own terraforming projects and builds that connected to the original layout.

THANK YOU FOR THIS I hit 3 stars a while ago and I don't know where to start, really needed this!!!

[Maggie_Rosalie]

You can carry a garbage bin around with you when removing the flowers you don’t want to keep and just throw them in the trash so you don’t have to going to sell them when your inventory gets full.

[marinacopeland]

First time playing the game, and I am so excited to start terraforming. I really enjoyed this video about planning and how to pick a theme. Thanks for linking your cards for previous islands. 💜

This is helping me so much thank you for making this and putting sooo much thought into it! I've been fishing, collecting, trading and restarting islands for a year since I decided to flatten my original island and havent been able to decorate again because I keep feeling stuck. the greatest tip for me in this video is to collect all the custom designs/paths before... usually when I start to decorate I give up once I realize I want a new path. Same with just chopping trees instead of moving them as I go!!! Tysmmm

[hosewater-lbhi]

This helped me so much! I flattened the starter cliffs and stuff about a month ago and it's been such a helpful start! I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for this.

[pomehanate]

This video was so helpful! I'm just planning on flatening my island soon, but this helps a ton!

[STARROMEO]

i just finished my campsite and my first priority is decorating my island, this was SO helpful!!!
