I hope they extend it up to 100 slots with future updates. Same for pocket storage, if they could cough out another 'Essential' pack in the nook miles terminal for another 10 slots would be fantastic. Also, for materials stored at home to be accessible via de DIY workbench.
@@iwillcry I have heard that if you build a new players home, you can use that storage too. And also change that house into something that you like(Cafe, shop, libary)
Lenny Faced Lily It's quite disappointing that we were able to do it in Happy Home Designer, which is basically a spin-off game, but not in ACNH. Same for the custom path slots, ACHHD had NEARLY 180! What the hell Nintendo?
It kinda depends on the theme you’re going for, I don’t really have a theme though, and my islands just a Mish mash of a bunch of stuff. My advice, look on TH-cam for an idea you like and incorporate it into your own island in a slightly different way so you’re not exactly copying it.
My advice is just grab things from your storage that you could use and work around them. Say, like, you have a basketball hoop sitting there... OK, make a basketball court.
I’ve been overwhelmed too. But what’s helped me, Is focusing on section by section, rather than the entire the entire finished image of the island. I’ve been noticing, me focusing on piece by piece is naturally letting me find my own esthetic. So, try working on a building, and the surrounding landscape and so on. Then you’ll have left over space to make your pathways, and such.
You know what would be nice? If nintendo removed the feature when u accidentally press y and erase your paths that are displayed. It should only be erasable only when u have island designer app active. It's a path for ffs
Yasss! I'm so hesitant to pick up a present or not being close enough to pick something up...ugh. Unless I certainly see a thought bubble saying " Present", I'm not moving. Lol
Don’t worry I didn’t realize you could swap spots of custom designs so my menu was a nightmare until recently😅 Edit: The “Y” button should say swap spots
Well if you find the QR code and use the Nook Link, you can still download designs after hours. I know that won't work for everything, but there's a lot of cute clothing QR codes.
Actually custom designs on their own make noise (just not as loud as the island designer paths), and custom paths laid on top of the island designer paths make the sane noise as the island designer paths.
Peri Artaku I know that but it just sounds weird that you can rarely hear it so it is dead silent (at the volume I play at since I am not allowed to go any higher) the whole time you walk around.
@@pericelsus Custom paths layered on top of stock paths DO NOT make the normal noise! People need to stop spreading this lie. Custom paths all make the same muted, dull, almost non-existent sound.
Think about the new leaf players, only ten slots was so painful, along with having to make sure that you could find a clear enough image of the qr code
I just started watching your videos the other day, and i'm so inspired.... Last night, i made a second account on my switch at your suggestion, and i expected i'd get an additional 50 design slots to pile all of my road patterns onto. I was wrong and i'm never going to stop being mad about it.
I have 5 people on my island (3 kids under 10) and have to share my slots with kids who want to do funny doodles. You don’t know mad till you realize that you’re only going to have a few spots left to do your own thing. If we could each have our own island, that would be even better. Each person does their own thing and it’s like a train wreck.
I made one of these! I had no idea how popular they have become. I think you are doing an amazing job with the limited space you have ! thank you for sharing my work !
After seeing your 5-star island redemption video, I was inspired to re-do my own 5-star island and HAD to get Melissa's codes and the oni dirt/stones codes. They are awesome! Thank you Melissa, and the person who created the oni-dirt, and thank you blue-haired dude that YT reccommended!
Cord, on F76, your camp spot north of Site Bravo isn’t usable anymore as there is a tent in the way. You’ll need to move your camp, just thought I’d let you know. Love the vids, keep it up 👍
it's also less than you would have in new leaf. you'd have 10 for each of 4 characters, and in this one it's 50 for all characters - and you can have 8. it's ridiculous when you put it in perspective.
@@phoenix0828 nope! I thought I was being sneaky and added hubby into my island for extra slots.... Go into his menu all excited just to find he had all of mine 🙃🙃🙃
It's awful. I share my island with my daughter and she loves to draw pictures with the design tool. So now half of my slots are filled with doodles of stars and hearts in garish colours. And she would be sad if I replaced them with something useful.
MissEmiNeko I’m on an island with 5 people and my youngest son practically plays the game just to doodle on custom designs (I delete them every now and then so I can use them again). But I really wish each person got their own. That also goes for pro designs too. I thought those would at least be different from player to player, but we also all share those too.
Thank you for this video. I’m new to AC. I’ve been searching for a stone and a dirt path. These are the first ones I’ve actually liked. I also don’t care for the flat edges on the pathway. I never thought of finding a stone edge to put around it. 👍🏻
I saw your vid the other day showing off that beautiful lil area with fountains and stuff (it's hilarious because I also watched the first vid of your island and was still jealous, now i'm even more envious!). You've really outdone yourself with the redemption vid. I just had to recreate it on my island. I used dirt instead, put the swinging bench and made it bigger. Thank you so much for the inspo, I will def share and let people know!
Worth noting! Once you put a custom design on furniture, that furniture is permanent etc like on a lamp or pillow. So you don't have to keep those designs after you make all the customized furniture you want.
These are some darn good tips and I like how you demonstrate! My dirt path takes up so much space and I'm trying to find a way to compromise lol. I may just have to go simpler with my pathing. Awesome video!
Another thing I recommend/ find useful is using overlays for the paths. While it may not bring as much detail as say, borders. It really helps cut down space and makes you’re paths a bit more unique.
I would use the custom paths if able to place them without wiping them off. I mean what the point of that custom path setting in construction mode if you’re able to wipe them off?
To give my paths more life, I sacrifice the borders (the curved stone doesn’t seem very popular and it’s my main path) but I made little “sidewalk chalk” drawings which are pastel drawings of simple characters, and I’ll put them near the “neighborhood” on my island.
The fact that you have to pay for Nintendo Online before you can download custom designs, means you should get to have a lot more slots. I've saved a few slots by making sure to use paths that have are transparent. It takes longer to lay down a path and put the custom one on top, but it works for me. Plus, If I end up wanting to change it, I can just overwrite the custom path swuare and all of the ones I placed will change.
I went and got the stone path from around your villager houses after I saw it in another video of yours, thanks for listing that stuff in your description :)
I would love to download these but I don’t have enough slots, and they would override things on my island if I used them. It’s crazy how Nintendo only gave us a small amount of slots.
omg. I was looking all over Reddit and instagram the other day for that dirt path, and gave up. Wasn't expecting to see it in a video that popped up on my recommended list!
Hey Cordless! I've been watching a lot of your ACNH videos, and your town looks great! But ever since I got some other games, I stopped playing, and can't seem to get back into the game! I wanna make a cool town like yours, but whenever I start playing, I'll get confused, and eventually get bored and exit the game. How do I get back into Animal Crossing without getting bored instantly? I don't know what to do!
dont stress about it, animal crossing isnt suppose to be a competitive game or anything. You can take however long you want finishing your island. If you finish your entire island in like one month then you’ll just be bored.
I had the same issue! I was addicted to AC but then | got bored and just stopped playing. After watching his previous video on re-designing your island, I was truly inspired. I watched a few other relaxing, speed build videos and was excited to work on mine. I guess it's best to plan in advance or at least have an idea of what you want to build before you start, so you don't feel overwhelmed or bored. Hope this helps. xx
Plan your island first. There is a website called Happy Island Designer. Do a rough plan of where you want everything to be and where you want your cliffs, inclines etc and then take a picture of it and try and build it. I’d start at the entrance and then make your way around. Once you’ve got the structure of everything and got all the buildings you want in place you can then focus on what paving you want and start decorating it with furniture, diys, flowers and trees.
I would make a basic design plan and then slowly start to add things that you've seen in other people islands (terraforming cliffs, small details for cafes/farms/paths) it'll be more fun and relaxing that way
Desperately hope they add new design slots in a future update. There's probably a line of code somewhere in AC:NH that says const int CUSTOM_DESIGN_SLOTS = 50; Plss just change and push an update.
Hey man, awesome video! I just started downloading custom designs and I'm so stumped not knowing what I want and what I don't! I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. BTW, is the discord link broken? It's not working 😭
This helps me cause I deleted some beloved designs to download an full road and sidewalk set that took up 15 slots, don't know if I'm gonna need em all
Hi Cordless VII, I really liked your creations on Fallout 4 and now I'm a big fan of what you're doing on ACNH. I watch a LOT of Island Tours and I'm very often disappointed by what I see : many island are just randomly crowded with stuff and it feels disorganized. Yours is a very good inspiration!! Btw is it open to the piblic sometimes? Keep making good content man
%50 of my designs are used on monopoly, so yeah, we NEED more design slots. I have 9 for a stone path, my eyebrows and freckles, one of a wooden bridges, the edges, monopoly, and that's it. I couldn't get round edges, or edges for the bridge, really bad.
I hope they extend it up to 100 slots with future updates.
Same for pocket storage, if they could cough out another 'Essential' pack in the nook miles terminal for another 10 slots would be fantastic.
Also, for materials stored at home to be accessible via de DIY workbench.
iiMusa my home storage is full all the time i have too many clothing items i hope that gets upgraded from 1600 to 2000
us old new leaf player had to suffer with like 15 slots.... u think u got it hard? respect the 40 slots 😤 ✊
{ Bela } True but different players have their own separate slots in acnl so you can make a dummy player to get more slots. Acnh doesn’t do that.
@@bela-zo5yn Us new leaf players also were able to store non-essentials in our envelopes to save extra space and still keep stuff with us.
@@iwillcry I have heard that if you build a new players home, you can use that storage too. And also change that house into something that you like(Cafe, shop, libary)
nintendo should add a feature where u can buy more slots with nook miles!
yEEEEES
DemxnDxll indeed
Yes great idea!
Crosses fingers for it in the August update.
wait yess!
You know how many slots we can free up if we could I don’t know maybe... if we could ROTATE THEM
Fr!!!
Wait I never thought about that that’s genius
I laughed so hard but it's so true, same goes for rotating the camera outside your own house...
Like if you stood at a certain angle then itd rotate to how you're facing.
@ It's technically impossible to rotate the camera due to the fact that the game is a rolling world.
I wish there was a feature to rotate custom designs, but they could at least make it for the nook mile version on the terraforming app.
PokiBiscuit E this! Fine Nintendo don’t give us more custom slots but being able to rotate them would free up space with the paths
Lenny Faced Lily It's quite disappointing that we were able to do it in Happy Home Designer, which is basically a spin-off game, but not in ACNH.
Same for the custom path slots, ACHHD had NEARLY 180! What the hell Nintendo?
Fun fact, you can actually erase your flag design and the flag will still keep the design you posted!
John Lindberg will it erase your phone case design?
bruh moment Nope
cordless kept his though because he also used the design on magazines to act as a brochure for his island
@@Liamhttp yeah, I've seen that. But given that this video is about managing the limited design slots, I thought it was worth mentioning :)
John Lindberg oh i know, i thought your comment was kinda aimed at him for not erasing the flag design. my bad 🤦♀️
Your island is honestly incredible. I’m struggling decorating mine atm but watching your videos inspires me. If you have any tips please tell me
No tips?
It kinda depends on the theme you’re going for, I don’t really have a theme though, and my islands just a Mish mash of a bunch of stuff. My advice, look on TH-cam for an idea you like and incorporate it into your own island in a slightly different way so you’re not exactly copying it.
My advice is just grab things from your storage that you could use and work around them. Say, like, you have a basketball hoop sitting there... OK, make a basketball court.
John G that’s also what I’m doing.

You know what would be nice? If nintendo removed the feature when u accidentally press y and erase your paths that are displayed.
It should only be erasable only when u have island designer app active. It's a path for ffs

It’s always great when I find new custom designs I want and it’s after the clothing store is closed. The design portal should be in the town hall.

You can change the time in animal crossing so the stores are always open

Bydnelg me too
I’m on the same boat but with stone.
I did some searching on Reddit. Her user name is melissenpai and she added more path designs. MA-3021-9048-9078
Do you have the base layer for brick? bc all I can find are edges
i just dont get the logic of 50 slots only, just who at nintendo thought 'yep thats more than enough' ~_~
Because they didn't think people would go so hard in the paint with their island.
Ikr... They should add more or atleast bot remove the custom designs on the items even if you remove the design on ur nook phone
Think about the new leaf players, only ten slots was so painful, along with having to make sure that you could find a clear enough image of the qr code

You can delete your island flag slot. It won't disappear. And you can rearrange the slots. Use the 'swap' option. It won't mess anything up.
He also used it for customizing the stack of magazines at the entrance stall. :)

Wow, i'm very impressed. You are an absolute boss at this. Mad respect.

You can replace your flag design & it will still stay. Applies to the customizable phone case as well. :)

My gosh this is so helpful. You da man. Also, your island looks FAB
These are the best ACNH videos out there!!
The fact that you have to pay for Nintendo Online before you can download custom designs, means you should get to have a lot more slots.

I love all your tips and tricks, this is why I'm subscribed:)
Hope that the next update will alow you more room! Hopefully...
MAN you have Wolfgang and Groucho?! Two of my dreamies and a beautiful island, so jealous 😭
