  • Today it's time for me to show you my no terraforming island in Animal Crossing New Horizons. I've been working on it offline, hence its name 'Offline'. It's a no terraforming island, that is filled with lots of colorful farms & flowers. When building it, I basically just created whatever I felt inspired to! I hope you enjoy!

    This island was so beautiful and inspiring🥲 I loved seeing you create something a bit outside of your comfort zone and I for one would love a no terraforming island video! As someone with a failed no terraforming island I would appreciate it

    • @sparksby
      @sparksby  2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      You know I wouldn't say failed hehe, but thank you for the feedback and the sweet words!

      On my very first island I think I got very excited about the fact that I could do terraforming but in the end I found it to be very stressful because nothing seem to look right and I was starting to get very anxious that my island was not looking right so I decided to delete my island and start out fresh and this time I’m going to try and do no terraforming or as little as possible and I made sure that I’ve tried to choose the best island. The only thing is that you have to start out scratch with everything so I’ve been trying to go through the first stages quickly so that I can get to a stage where I can do a little bit more. i’m not quite sure what type of Island I’m going to turn it on to so as I am going round trying to get to the terraforming stage I’m kinda thinking how I would have things. i’m kind of wondering whether to go for the farming vibe and do like a maze. on my last island which turned out to be a disaster I was planning on going for the forest vibe but then it turned out to be a mixture because I wasn’t sure what the hell I was doing. i’m not necessarily wanting to get to terraforming stage obviously terraform or not 100% I will do a little bit in the way waterfalls but the rest will stay the same hope you’re kind of understand.

    I love this idea. Part of me wishes I hadn't terraformed my island, but it's far too late lol. If I were to ever have a second island I'd do this same thing. You're so inspiring to work with what you've got

    • @sparksby
      @sparksby  2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Ah thank you so much! And it’s never too late! Who knows, maybe you’ll have a second island one day or decide to restart or something! 🥰

  • @jjreider8668
    @jjreider8668 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    I’ve been striving for minimal terraforming. I haven’t changed the water at all and slightly adjusted cliffs to allow access to the secret beach and to make it a bit easier to place inclines.
    I also try not to disturb the trees too much but that is much harder.

  • @tmr33773
    @tmr33773 2 ปีที่แล้ว +86

    I am on day 4 of ever playing ACNH and I see so many islands that are so organized. But yours is so much more beautiful to me! I can’t wait to make an island full of life and diversity!!

  • @xpinkwombat

    this was so inspiring! i find terraforming quite tedious so this has given me lots of ideas on how to decorate without terraforming

  • @lynndyholmes9994
    @lynndyholmes9994 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I’ve watched 100’s of island videos and this is by far my favorite island I’ve seen. I love the challenge making things “flow” when not terraforming. This is beautiful!

  • @carsongrace9947
    @carsongrace9947 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This inspired me to start playing the game again! This is exactly how it was designed to be played! No stressful terraforming, just a beautiful, natural looking island! 💕

  • @Nainara
    @Nainara 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    this is incredible work!! i have been playing for around 2k hours and no time skip, so i really needed motivation and inspiration to finally do something new and exciting. now i imagine filling my island with lots more colors, connecting it all better after having some duo or trio colored areas only. really really amazing, the attention to detail is so beautiful and its just overall a great harmony. thank you for sharing this :) i would love to be able to dreamwalk this island one day!

  • @GreyKat1701

    @butterflymuse2707 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    My 2nd island was no terraforming and honestly no one even noticed! It's so much fun to work with what you start with!
    This is such a nice island 😍 You did an awesome job!

    Me, someone who grew up near farms, avoiding sitting in fields bc of all the ticks.
    Your character, sitting down in a wheat field 😱.
    I literally love the field though haha.

    • @sparksby
      @sparksby  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hahaha! I think I’d definitely avoid it IRL, but in game it’s so cute 🥺🥰

  • @annika1999

    ive spent 1300+ hours on my og island since march 2020 and on top of that started a no terraforming island a little over a week ago because i was heavily inspired by others especially you so thank you 💕

  • @lavenderbee423

    Doing a no terraforming/no custom designs island right now, so this gave me lots of ideas! Thank you ❤️

  • @Friendoo
    @Friendoo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your island is gorgeous. I don’t like terraforming that much. I do did some small changes like adding a waterfall to a pond to the next lower cliff or shaping the cliff to fit my house in. But in general I like working with what is there. Because I’m a perfectionist ! If I start modifying one time, there’s no end to it and it’ll leave me forever unsatisfied. The best design ideas that I got on my island where born out of kinda an emergency, working with problems makes me more creative than removing them entirely 🤷‍♂️.

    Thank you for this! I've been struggling to think of how I could design my island without terraforming (bcos I'm literally new to ACNH & I'm scared to terraform rn HAHA) & this is giving me lots of inspo! ++ My fave about your island is the crops + windmill areas! So cute!

    I always appreciate to discover more people who avoid terraforming on their islands. It's inspirational! I'm surprised by your island map too because I don't think I've seen this before, unless I never noticed it because I keep looking for specific ones? lol I'm awful at terraforming myself and find it terrifying. I love the natural feel on this island.

    @pinoux6947 2 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    aaaaaa my old map, i'm so nostalgic. 🥲
    your island is really gorgeous, i don't know, it all flows together ? seeing this map make me think that with all the new items we have now it's totally possible to do our starters maps justice.

  • @misscookiemonster3919
    @misscookiemonster3919 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    thank you! this gave me so much inspiration! I don't want to terraform that much on my island, only when I want to build buildings that look realistic. My other one is full of terraforming and that's enough for me. So, Thank you!

    I reset to do a no-terraform island, it's very fun and easy, and I can focus more on other things instead of thinking up ways to change the landscape. The starting landscapes are quite good anyways! I've only done small cliff changes to fit a ramp nicely, but that was just adding two squares of cliff, etc. I haven't even unlocked waterscaping because I've managed to fit 4 bridges so far on the original river, so there's no need.

    @taylorbritt499 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have barely done any terraforming on my island, the only major thing I did was flatten the third level, and even then I didn't have that much land on the third level to clear away. I got really lucky with a great layout when I picked it at the beginning.
    Granted I'm still not done with my decorations and all but I'm pretty happy with it so far!!

    I wish the tents at the start of the game were an optional design and fully functional like the upgraded buildings. The starter villagers' tents, Blathers' tent and resident services are so cute inside and outside. I love the farm theme, it'd be interesting to see how this island would've turned out before the 2.0 update.

    I never did terraforming on my island either, I’m a little too lazy for that.
    Because when I first got the game, within a few months, I started seeing islands that resembled either tourist islands or full blown cities.
    Well, I wanted my island to stay an island.
    Not a farm or cottage or anything, I don’t like those.
    I live on the more outside parts of my city, I never hear cars driving and there’s a huge grass landscape when I look out of my balcony.
    But it’s not too extreme either, where I literally live on the country side.
    It’s the perfect middle.
    So I wanted my island to resemble that.
    Which is why my island stayed a small island, instead of becoming a big tourist attraction or a small city like other islands online.
    It makes me feel very comfortable.
    Because when I visit dream islands, I always feel either squished or lost…
    Lol I’m definitely not made for these 1000 hour islands.
    Yours looks really nice, I love forests, because my city is surrounded by mountains.
    Perks of the alps :)

  • @Friendoo
    @Friendoo 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a short idea. You could make the room you couldn’t block entirely ( with the clothings and plants) a bathroom or Bedroom. IK this is super random but I would really recommend that. Your house has everything. A living corner, kitchen corner, cozy couches, an flower room and a basement. But you have no bathroom or place to sleep.
