i think it would be a really cool type series to do an island that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also easy to maneuver and play the game in terms of catching stuff and seeing villagers and stuff that isn’t just decorating. there are so many dream islands that are so beautiful but so hard to get around and that’s the part that makes decorating so difficult for me
I would like to think my island is like this.. it's Godzilla themed and is certainly nowhere near a pro level but it's my first island so I made it more with playability in mind lol
watching these videos are always so encouraging because when i look on pinterest for ideas , i always get so overwhelmed. but seeing someone go through the motions and seeing it come from nothing to the end result is a lot more welcoming 😽
Do you think Nintendo ever thought “they can customize their island” “yeah, maybe someone will do the cliff sides of Italy “ lmao I love this stuff I swear it’s so artistic and creative
Just finished and it's one of my favorite builds I've seen in a long time. So inspiring. I think a phone box would look really nice on your lookout area. Can imagine the villagers walking up the hill to make their phone calls while looking over the neighborhood.
@@matthewwisdom4731 pick up a lost item and keep it in your inventory for a few days. dont return it!!! then once youve kept it in ur inventory long enough it will now be called 'what was this again?' instead of 'lost item'. now u can drop it :D
SHANNEN THIS IS AMAZING this has to be my favorite creation from you ever. I used to have Gabi and Blaire placed together on Aleif and this makes me regret ever moving them apart their houses look so amazing together!
I wish I was as brave to have such a high density of stuff around in the game...! I'm really kinda nooby when it comes to decorating! This is really inspiring!
It's really cute, but if I may be so honest for a second: every time you went, "I don't want to overdo it", a part of me withered away. For me, the end result happens to be too much, my eyes find no resting space because of all the different patterns and almost every square being covered with something. It suits your theme very well and works great for stills, but I had to start looking away at some points during the build, because it was too much visual input for me with no place to rest my eyes. That's me though, and I know a lot of people have no problems with that! I really dig the whole sunken neighbourhood idea though, and your sense of space and imagination is amazing. It's inspiring.
@@figueroth it's probably not the fact that there is stones, flowers, and trees, it's the amount that's there - there's no place for your eyes to rest. It can be stressful and overwhelming for some people.
Pick weeds = replant weeds where you want them = problem solved If you're looking for a particular type of weed (i.e. tall fluffy ones) just pick and replant until you get the one you want
Omg the spacing of everything is so perfect!! I loved your post that you shared on IG and this was so awesome to see how you created it all. Love the video :)
This was really good inspiration thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the open space I have just before the cliffs to my house. I think I’m going to put a flower meadow there and then an overlook like you have which, going down leads to this kind of sunken housing layout. Which includes the overlook and the housing which I wanted.
This is really cute. Given me some ideas as I want to change a few areas. Just visited the page for the paths and they're a little different. No tiny flowers *sad face
OMG, this is SO PRETTY!!! Love it! Sadly I finished my island. I think a will remake some places, but now my favourite thing to do is interior designs.
Katie on Calla Cove recommended your Sunken Villager Speed Build. I am very glad she did !! Thank you, it is so very kind of you to do this for so many,😊
Sheesh, this is so rudely flawless. How dare you make it look so easy 😄 Stunning build, definitely making me rethink my chosen theme since I can’t get anywhere with it
Love how you placed everything. 😍 Also love how you're just going at it while......it takes me one hour to place one tree. I procrastinate too much! 😟😅
hello I cam across your channel cause i was looking for design ideas. want to say thank you for an amazing build, loved how it turned out. also was wondering if you know the code to that cobblestone path that you are using. i have so ideas just by watching this video.. hats off to you...
I just want to know what did behind the view like did you add in another incline? Because there’s just empty space. What was your transition to the view point? Im sorry if this is confusing
Definitely gives me ideas if I ever wanted to do a different type of island (not happening without a 2nd switch), but I was just internally raging at the couple spots where you didn't fossil-spawn-proof on the hard cliff corner behind blair's house, or hidden right up against the down cliff in the front. Plus, there's a center tile at the bottom of the cobblestone on the lookout by the cedar tree. I spent half the video wondering "Is she gonna notice yet?". The build really does look lovely though, I should make more use of young trees and the destination sign.
wow you have such great sense!! ::applause:: our characters looks almost identical with the little buck tooth and my name is Shannon as well (with an o though)
I think it would be helpful to know number of spaces used. I have issues watching speed builds because of vertigo. But I’m trying this anyway. Thanks for this idea! Looks so great!
debating rearranging my map a bit, with the free update content i want all my villagers to be more put together, and i only terraformed everything after i had all the houses placed already so i was working around them instead of with them… plus if i move them ill be able to clean up all my waterways. my island is mostly just a mess of ponds lakes streams and rivers since i wanted a aesthetic kind of like that one village from ffx. might put all my villagers on the northeast corner in a tiered neighborhood… already have two of them in that area w the flower field and the orchard, so i wouldnt have to move Everyone… thank fick ive already made my rock garden otherwise this would be even more difficult lollo
this might be a silly question but are you time traveling here or are you moving multiple homes at the same time? edit: nvm the video is just sped up 😅😅

@@KyuubiCrossing it seems it in the videos i’ve been seeing so far!! your decorating is beautiful every time
That’s what I try to do with my island, though I’m not a youtuber or anything lol

do you still have this layout and a DA code that I could come see it?

What a creative build! I love the houses being nestled in the mountainside🥰
Thank you so much Sydney!

Omg Erin!!! Thank you so much! I felt like I was in such a funk lately so I really appreciate it 🥺🤎
The lookout spot, you could put a tourist telescope there. ♡ I love how the build turned out. ♡
I love EVERYTHING about this build.... the double incline placement, the house placement, the colors!! 😍💗😍

OMG this is SUCH a good idea! 🤩 I'm SO gonna do this on my island! I also love how you explain everything you do, it really helps!
I would love to see whatever you create! Thank you!!
I love how cozy this feels, it looks amazing!!!
Thank you so much!! I’m ready for fall 🍂
I’ve been working on a cottagecore island and this gave me motivation to make a cute neighborhood! 🍄 I’ve been using this video for inspiration :3
i literally just copy and pasted this on my island but decor diff and i am in LOVE!! thank youu!!
One of the best builds I’ve ever watched!!! Sooo well done!!
Omg the spacing of everything is so perfect!! I loved your post that you shared on IG and this was so awesome to see how you created it all. Love the video :)
just looking at the thumbnail, its so PRETTY
Thank you so much hailey!! 💕
I love your speed builds! It helps me plan out my island more easily and the best way to go about the process
Omg this gets me so excited to play!!! This looks beautiful!
Oh this is so good I have to try this with fang marshal and olives house
Attempting this on my island!!! I’m so obsessed it’s perfect
Really really want to have motivation to design my island again. Love your video, the design and coziness
This is nice. I like having a few houses together to look like little settlements around my island.
This was really good inspiration thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the open space I have just before the cliffs to my house.

Your villager houses are rly pretty!! And I love ur custom designs ❤️
I have never clicked subscribe so fast!! You're fantastic!!
Really enjoy your videos as you explain things,makes it easy for me to understand your point of views
Ahh this is so amazing!! Like how do you do it and the thumbnail is just so aesthetic.
Thank you so much!! 💕
Omg it soooo good! It’s making me actually wanna terraform in animal crossing!
Found you on instagram yesterday and now you show up on my TH-cam.... AMAZING! Excited to watch your videos 💕
Omg yay!! So happy you enjoy the channel 🤍🤍
This is perfect to what I needed. Working on my second island that I want more hobbit style and needed this idea.
This is really cute. Given me some ideas as I want to change a few areas.
Just visited the page for the paths and they're a little different. No tiny flowers *sad face
Saw your pic of this on IG and just stared at it. Can't wait to watch the video.

Well do I have a dlc for you

Shannen is masterful. Love your videos and love your streams!
Thank you so much my friend!

Please do Kieran!! Thank you so much, can’t wait to see what you create 💕
Absolutely Breath Taking! 😍❤
Love YOU and your island sm. Good video girly.

This is amazing! I've been looking for how to set out my neighbourhood, and I really like terraforming
Most stunning sunken neighborhood💯🙏
Omg!!!! Im going to make something like this on my island--ASAP!! This is amazing and beautiful!

i’m halfway done with my city themed island and now i want to restart because this idea is so cute 😭😭😭
Love how you placed everything. 😍 Also love how you're just going at it while......it takes me one hour to place one tree. I procrastinate too much! 😟😅
I am blown away 😳

So nice. Love the simpe decor outside each house

Everthing is so armonic and beautiful... great job uwu 🌟💕
What are they going to do when it rains? (In all seriousness though, wonderful build :) )
Wow, love this!!
Stunning!!!! 😍😍😍
Gorgeous! Love it!
God I wish I had the patience to do this sort of thing. Instead I will live vicariously through these videos XD
Looks great!
This looks amazing!!
Oml this sounds so cute ima watch it nkw
plant weeds down before you time travel! then they'll be where you want them to be :) ALSO thank you for this im so inspired now hehehe
Please I really need your stone codes that you use, they are all so nice. Love this build and your channel!
i’m gonna do something like this! thanks for the inspo!
Ah man, I thought this would an Atlantis type of sunken 😂😅 v cute end result!
And when the waterfall came in I was really like “nice, here we go, wonder how they’ll pull off this aesthetic” 😂😂😂

How are you able to move more than one house in a day?
i time travel (skip the day forward!) and cut out the dialog for the speed builds!
you really are talented 😍
wow you have such great sense!! ::applause:: our characters looks almost identical with the little buck tooth and my name is Shannon as well (with an o though)

is there a chance you have a picture of your map with this done? i just like looking at the layout and how big things are :)

YES BESTIEEEEE
LY bestie
This an absolutely stunning build! I’m so so so greatful for videos like this for beginners like me, to practice and replicate. ❤❤❤ Great job!
Before watching this I came up with the same idea thinking the “sunken” thing was completely original.😂
Shannen has made a masterpiece and it really does show!! Do you mind if I do something similer to this on my island ofc full credit?
Of course! I’d love to see what you make! 🤍
Whose house is at 9:15?
Not sure where you posted but would love the code for the cobblestone path!
i love this build
Thank you giorgio!! ✨
Actually u can pick some weeds, place them wherever you want, and a few days later it will be overgrown!
Villagers can’t see out there side windows now😩
do you have to pay to be able to get those custom path codes??
wait… how did you make big weeds grow? :0
How do you get all those path way designs?
