I lost count on how often I restarted, but I did the speedruns within a day. To be sure to get 3 stars without checking all the time: 2 pockets full of items placed, 50 fences placed, leave the trees from beginning, plant some flowers (around 50), all buildings should be on your island and you should be on 3 stars 🥰
I think when it comes to getting to three stars people let it get in their heads too much and can try too hard. It is actually really easy. I have restarted my game ssoooo many times lol once I got to three stars with one bridge, no fencing, hardly any decorations and not even two pockets of flowers. I think it depends on Isabelles mood haha as long as you have eight villagers, shops, flowers and decorations you’ll be fine. Also if you don’t have many diys I believe bugs and fish count as outside decorations also.
I don’t believe this because I have over 50 flowers, each garden has fencing/furniture outside plus shop upgrades & decorations and yet……….2 stars. Every. Single. Time. I have planted so many trees I cannot walk.
So glad insects count for points because I often save up my wasps or other special insects for flick so when he comes to my island I get that extra bells 🔔 😂 Now I can js place them instead of them taking up space in my storage!!
I restarted yesterday to do no terraforming and I got three stars today too! I already got all my bridges, inclines, and villager houses placed! this is SUCH a nice challenge because you can get right into decorating
This is very helpful and i agree at the end because you don’t have to have your island looking good because after you can make it look better after K.K slider comes!
Thanks SO MUCH. One thing about weeds, I spent 1-2 days picking my whole island clean (this included the higher parts where weeds are rampant) and a couple days later, they grew back. Afterwards, I just said, "Screw it." And let them grow. They haven't affected my rating at all.
Thank you so much i was struggeling for so long to get 3 stars. I just placed some self made furniture and took flowers of an other Island and i only took me 1 hour. Amazing!
i got my sisters first island rating to 2 stars instead of 1. like when i was able to check the rating for the first time it said 2 stars. idk why i think this makes me feel cool-
Here's how I got 3 stars: If a villager or tree gives you a decor item, then place that decor item somewhere on your island, and repeat that process (This works with clothing too) Pick up all weeds from your island (you don't have to pick all weeds, but pick most of them) Plant lots of flowers (preferably, buy them in bulks when you are buying them) When Tom Nook gives you fencing for the first time, place all of them (it doesn't matter where), also buy more fencing to repeat the process) Pick up all dropped items (Sticks, gifts, clothing, wasp nest, and basically anything that isn't supposed to be where it's at) Have Nooks cranny, Able Sisters, and have you're museum upgraded At least 8 villagers And at least 1 bridge that's pretty much all I needed
Aaaaaah, this comes out today? I just resetted my island a week ago and struggled with the 3 stars until yesterday. I'll use this guide in the future though! 🥰
Caito is so hardworking I love how she was completely in the mindset to go to Isabel's office and be all "yo Isabelle waits next on our list?" So of course she gets 3 stars when she leasts suspects it!
Hey wanted to come back and thank this guide, cause of this information I sorta skipped 2 stars and went straight from 1 star to 3 stars... I was just waiting for my island to fall into place and did my decorating a little ahead of time. Tysm!!!
Getting three stars took me forever 😓 at first I was just putting furniture outside that I liked and put flowers were I wanted but Isabella kept saying it needed to be better and it already took my two days to do all that. Finally I searched it up and found this and I did everything u did and I was so hyped and Isabella said that I need to get one more villager(who was coming the next day) and that my outside was perfect… I made the mistake to pick every flower I planted and sold it for some money and Isabella said that I need to work outside again. I was getting angry at this point and gave up for the day. Today I went back and it was the same answer from Isabelle and I decided to time travel and I finally got three starts. It was chaotic
Isabelle literally made me build a bridge. It might not be that for some people, but she did it to me despite having one. I had to pay 98k which was very annoying . Never gonna forgive her for that
i had restarted my island and have been trying to reach 3 stars lmao and it’s been a little stressful but this really helped out tysm for sharing this informational vid!!
never knew it all got marks , i just being told to decorate , plant and 2 bridges. isabelle shouldve told us our current points so we couldve known what to do to to gain remaining points
Lol one of the requirements for 2 and 3 stars is the number of villagers you have, i literally just went villager hunting and got coco first try, skipped to the next day and my Island went from 1 star to 3 stars in 4 minutes. Ive done this before where i went from 3 to 5 stars because of my number of villagers + i added a few trees and 1 chair lol but this is my brand new island I've only spent a total of 3 hours and i got to 3 stars so i wish you all good luck with your islands :) PS. Isabelle really seems to like everything to be close together enough to resemble something but not tightly packed and not too far apart, i found that just moving some things around either took it to a 2 or 3 star island. So if any of you are stuck the villager thing really counts and also the spacing of your items.
I was so excited on my most recent island that I was able to get 3 stars without a single incline. I only had to pay for the second bridge, thank goodness!
Will you be creating lakes and streams but no cliffs, or just working with what came with the island and no terra forming at all. Very excited to see what you create!!!
omg thank u so much for this :,) this was the first time i time travelled and it kinda messed up the k.k slider concert because it was supposed to be on sunday but i went back to the current time and it turned out to be today- but i finally got 3 stars, k.k to perform and terraforming. i feel like all the rocks in my shoulder have finally gone away :,) and well now i guess it’s time to remove all the flowers and trees i planted-
So spam flowers, bridges, inclines, fences, DIY furniture and trees. Edit: I expanded my population and decided to check with isabelle and I already had 3* 😀😀
I bought ACNH in January 2021, played till march and couldn’t get a 3 star island. Gave up, and now I’m trying to get a 3 star island again in February 2022. I loved New Leaf but I just can’t seem to love New Horizons 😔 *Update* YOUR VIDEO WORKED!! 3 STAR ISLAND YAYYYYYYYYY
honestly i had a lot of fun making my first island but for the most part i did everything pre terraforming so a lot of stuff didnt rlly go as i wish it could've, so now im gonna speedrun getting it on an almost entirely blank island (with almost all my buildings off to the side/ on the beach) so i can actually do stuff as I please and plan out things like mountains. im going for a more foresty/ country/ natural theme with my new island compared to my old one which was more of a town so i think ill have a lot of fun doing something entirely different!! im hoping to fully complete it before winter break ends (which definitely will not happen but i can hope)
what i do is pick out literally ALL the weeds yes and i mean ALL everything on your island. and add a few trees,fruits,furniture,flowers,and fences. and easily got me 3 stars
Weird, branches & shells knocked me down earlier today. I went around and picked all the branches and shells up and my star rating went back up. I only have 5 “items” dropped. I swear Nintendo keeps changing this. 🤣🤣🤣
I started only six days ago (oct, 30, 22) and already have 2 stars for my island, also this really helps considering i’ve been working on diffrent islands for over 3 years, and yes, i do use time skips :D
i just got into acnh and im trying to achieve a 3star rating fast! i have found your vid and immediately subbed to you when i have seen your island name was Burgonya, i am from hungary and seeing your old profile pic in the video made me realize you know what it even means haha! thank you for the great video, im sure i will be able to get to 3 stars with this much help!
Any tips for a cluttered island? If I could pay someone bells to make my island a 4 star I would.I’m also having trouble finding diys that are like 3x3 tiles or 3x2 tiles
Nice video! Looking forward what you do with the this island ^~^ Seems funny though to unlock the terraforming as fast as possible for a non terra forming island haha (ik it includes paths and stuff, but anyways :D)
I lost count on how often I restarted, but I did the speedruns within a day. To be sure to get 3 stars without checking all the time: 2 pockets full of items placed, 50 fences placed, leave the trees from beginning, plant some flowers (around 50), all buildings should be on your island and you should be on 3 stars 🥰
So 80?
Items
@@lemonxmochi7288 Yep 🥰
2 base game pockets?
@@dontllookbackinanger Yes, 80 items, could also work with less

Now I can js place them instead of them taking up space in my storage!!
I've done all this and more and am still at two stars
The absolute joy on Isabelle and nook’s face when they realize kk is coming to their island is the cutest thing 😂
Tom nook: That's KK's Signature!
Isabelle: WHAT
I restarted yesterday to do no terraforming and I got three stars today too! I already got all my bridges, inclines, and villager houses placed! this is SUCH a nice challenge because you can get right into decorating
I’m shook as heck rn!! I just finished planting my flowers as I’m watching this and got 3 stars a couple minutes after you did!! Omg I’m so happy!
Thanks so much for this guide!🙏
I’ve been stuck at 1-2 stars for months waiting for paths to be unlocked
@Stär Lucanÿa you did that in 3/4 days??!!
@@oopsididitagain4885i did it in two days. If it weren't for this video it would have taken me even longer!
If anyone can make a no terraforming island look good, that's you. I'm really excited to see how it turns out
This is a v good guide!
Thank you 💛
helloo Ben! Love your content sm
Also I agree this is a super good guide
Hi ben!
omg hii crossing channel i watch ur vids:3
I am right now on two stars and before watching this video I felt like giving up but this really encourage me to keep going. ☺️
This is very helpful and i agree at the end because you don’t have to have your island looking good because after you can make it look better after K.K slider comes!

Can't wait for the decorating to start I'm so excited for this island!
Thank you so much i was struggeling for so long to get 3 stars. I just placed some self made furniture and took flowers of an other Island and i only took me 1 hour. Amazing!
Yay!!! I’m so excited for some bergonya decorating content!!
this guide helped so much. i just restarted my island recently and needed some pointers. 💕💕

Isabelle asking Caito for more flowers: oh Lordy, here we goooooooo
Aaaaaah, this comes out today? I just resetted my island a week ago and struggled with the 3 stars until yesterday.
I'll use this guide in the future though! 🥰
I’m literally trying to get my new island to 3 stars rn, and you read my mind!

Thank you! I just re started and it’s been taking forever to unlock terraforming!
Exactly
Im going to restart my island soon, so this is super helpful!
This is a very good guide! I just restarted my island and this will help me get terraforming! I miss it so much Xd
Literally the most helpful video on TH-cam about this topic! Thank you so much!
Isabelle literally made me build a bridge. It might not be that for some people, but she did it to me despite having one. I had to pay 98k which was very annoying . Never gonna forgive her for that
omg same it took me a month to pay for that bridge
i had restarted my island and have been trying to reach 3 stars lmao and it’s been a little stressful but this really helped out tysm for sharing this informational vid!!

My plan is to do no terraforming at all! So just keeping all of the water features and cliffs how they are 💛
You were very thorough. I never looked into the points before! Thank you Caito! Also hope your are starting to feel better.
Thank you so much!!! I’m feeling better. Hoping to be back to streaming tomorrow!
you need to talk to blathers to get the shovel und the vaultingpol diy! I’m so exited for the comin buildingstreams on burgonya🌱💖
I’ve been through this process a hundred times and I’m still watching with baited breath
omg thank u so much for this :,) this was the first time i time travelled and it kinda messed up the k.k slider concert because it was supposed to be on sunday but i went back to the current time and it turned out to be today- but i finally got 3 stars, k.k to perform and terraforming. i feel like all the rocks in my shoulder have finally gone away :,) and well now i guess it’s time to remove all the flowers and trees i planted-
yayyyy 3 stars on Burgonya!!!!!!!!!! hope your feeling better caito
I JUST picked all of my flowers today. I think if I wait until they all bloom again and then go ill be where I need to be
The first moment I asked Isabelle on my second island what the rating was I was already 4☆ :-) That was a nice surprise!
How do you make a second island?
@@whosevamp Second Switch..
@@Ariesmonique u think I can afford that lmao
@@whosevamp You asked me how to make a second island? Well that's the answer :-) Try to manifest a switch...
Omg thank you! I had little to no courage and motivation and you motivated me to keep going!
So spam flowers, bridges, inclines, fences, DIY furniture and trees.
Edit: I expanded my population and decided to check with isabelle and I already had 3* 😀😀
Exactly!
Omg!! Good thing I bumped into your video. This has helped me a lot! Thanks so much! Now off to get those 3 stars☺️.
Post 2.0 update, Isabelle just pretty much keeps telling me to upgrade the museum. But I don’t wanna ☹️
so isabelle just says plant flowers how many do i need
I bought ACNH in January 2021, played till march and couldn’t get a 3 star island. Gave up, and now I’m trying to get a 3 star island again in February 2022. I loved New Leaf but I just can’t seem to love New Horizons 😔 *Update* YOUR VIDEO WORKED!! 3 STAR ISLAND YAYYYYYYYYY
i was gaming whilst watching this.
me; *buys nook mile ticket*
game: lets give this one lily
Wow I’m so early!!!! Yay! I love this video! And congratulations on 3 stars!!!
honestly i had a lot of fun making my first island but for the most part i did everything pre terraforming so a lot of stuff didnt rlly go as i wish it could've, so now im gonna speedrun getting it on an almost entirely blank island (with almost all my buildings off to the side/ on the beach) so i can actually do stuff as I please and plan out things like mountains. im going for a more foresty/ country/ natural theme with my new island compared to my old one which was more of a town so i think ill have a lot of fun doing something entirely different!! im hoping to fully complete it before winter break ends (which definitely will not happen but i can hope)
I swear that “hey” in the song sounds like namjoon saying hey in dynamite
I know this is an old video but thank you this helped motivate me so much
I am so excited for the official decorating!
What what!!! Goooo Caitooo
BRO I WAS AT A 2 STAR AND WHILE WAITING I WENT TO A ILAND AND GOT TREES TO PUT ON MINE AND I DONT EVEN HAVE ABBLE SISTERS
Me after reading the title: Does this mean Caito unlocked terraforming?
While I was watching this I decided to plant some produce cause isabelle wanted a more green environment and I got 3 stars!
love ur island! i’m new to the game and feeling a little lost and demotivated cos I’m still at a 1-star rating.
You can do it!!! Good luck with your island 💛
This is making me feel better about maybe restarting, tbh
what i do is pick out literally ALL the weeds yes and i mean ALL everything on your island. and add a few trees,fruits,furniture,flowers,and fences. and easily got me 3 stars
I hope following this helps because I've been working on my island since October and I'm still at 1 star.
It doesn’t give me the option to click on “Let’s talk Island evals” ??
Thank you so much! Ill finally create the island of my dreams! :)
Ok somethings up with my island I have over 200 points on each category yet I’m still at 2 stars
I got 3* without even realizing it.... I thought I didn't because nothing happened but I just forgot to talk to Tom nook lmao
will custom designs count as a tile being “full” (for the negative condition clutter)? if so, my whole island is clutter 😂
Custom designs don’t count! 💛
Weird, branches & shells knocked me down earlier today. I went around and picked all the branches and shells up and my star rating went back up. I only have 5 “items” dropped. I swear Nintendo keeps changing this. 🤣🤣🤣
Everyday Isabelle always says that my island us cluttered up
Please continue to work on this island!
good to know considering i just flattened like half my island 😭😭
I started only six days ago (oct, 30, 22) and already have 2 stars for my island, also this really helps considering i’ve been working on diffrent islands for over 3 years, and yes, i do use time skips :D
“burgonya” means potato in hungarian, that’s such a cute island name :D
This guide was really helpful and got my island to 3 stars thank you so much1!!1!1
thank you so much i watched this video and 20 minutes later i unlocked level 3!
i just realized we have the same island map!
i just got into acnh and im trying to achieve a 3star rating fast! i have found your vid and immediately subbed to you when i have seen your island name was Burgonya, i am from hungary and seeing your old profile pic in the video made me realize you know what it even means haha! thank you for the great video, im sure i will be able to get to 3 stars with this much help!
hi!! thank u so much for this!! do u time travel back to ur current date?
Me and my sister are trying to get a 3 star island, but we realized we need more trees! Thanks for the tip!
How are y’all even able to ask Isabella I don’t have that feature at all I click on her and I don’t have that option
*[I literally screamed when it said 3 star rating popped up]*
Ahhh I love watching your videos your voice is so relaxing
Any tips for a cluttered island? If I could pay someone bells to make my island a 4 star I would.I’m also having trouble finding diys that are like 3x3 tiles or 3x2 tiles
I actually Just got 3 Stars
Wait was there a fly in a your home
So just restarted and I'm back here rewatching 😁😍😁
i still wonder why i dont have the option to check how many stars i have
Nice video! Looking forward what you do with the this island ^~^
Seems funny though to unlock the terraforming as fast as possible for a non terra forming island haha (ik it includes paths and stuff, but anyways :D)
Omg ur voice is so cute😭-
when you grow trees/flowers/shrubs, do they still count as points when they’re not fully grown?
Are turnips considered clutter? I have them spread out outside since you can't put them in storage and I have A LOT.
Thanks Caito! I just restarted! This is gonna be such a help
As of this comment you are check marked what what!
Just as I was watching this, it happened!
how do u upgrade nooks cranny
Yay!!
I got 3 stars but nothing has happened do I have to wait 2 days ( because K.K slider is coming) will I get the terraforming tool and paths after?
Every time I watch your videos I always hear a bts song playing in background I’m huge fan of them
I just got started. Just now building the Nook's Cranny. I'm a little late to the party!
OMG TYSM I NEEDED THIS
OMG IT WORKEED TYSM FOR THIS! IM SUBSCRIBING!
Really helpful haha should’ve watched it before I built 2 inclines and 2 bridges that I will get rid off anyways🤦♀️
What does it mean by 45 or more tiles is an 8x8 Blocks
i was doing my island with you- we got 3 stars at the same time! LMAO
