I really like how you explain your idea and then show it step by step! I can never watch speed builds that have totally unrelated dialogue over top I love that you keep pace with the whole process. Will definitely be checking out more of your stuff!!
I think sunken waterfalls are so much fun to make, trying to get everything to flow together is really worth the effort. Yours look absolutely perfect! 🤗✨
this was literally so helpful i made my own sunken waterfall and put marshal's, kyle's, and ozzie's houses by it and a picnic area and ah i just luv it sm
This tutorial was so helpful! I have a crater-themed island, but I’ve had a hard time wrapping my head around adding depth. Thanks to your video, I was finally able to make my craters charming!
you killed it with this vid please never stop making tutorial vids my island was looking so bland but after watching you and some others it’s starting to look so good :-)
Wow, the way you explained this was very clear and I kind of like it, I was used of speed builds that had no dialogues and just has people doing their things the way they feel like it with no explanations at all... Very constructive! Thanks!
Ooh I really love sunken waterfalls, I also didn't realise a lot of people did the line skipping trick with the cliff breaking! I started doing it since I figured it out, but now that I think of it it's probably not so hard to realise and it definitely helps so much :D
me and my husband did this to my island last night (decorating now) but we added a little twist to it :) maybe I will show photos when I am done ... Thank you for the inspiration .... its always fun to learn a new build and adding a twist to it
You are the queen of terraforming! I remember watching these back in the day but i didn’t have anywhere to terraform, now I have a new island and I know all the little areas I want to make and the aesthetic, but I know I’ll just use the islands existing plan if I don’t learn to play it out!
So, I need to tell you that I am very new to Animal Crossing (got a Switch Lite AND the game Feb 2, so I've been playing for less than a month) and this video was the first one I'd seen that was not only SUPER appealing, but also doable for someone like me who was still struggling with what to do. (I've been real hesitant to do any serious terraforming) So THANK YOU! I followed your design pretty much exactly (despite how many times you said we could change it up) because I loved the end result so much! The main difference is I connected the mini waterfall with a little stream to also flow into the bottom pool. It is now my FAVORITE part of my island and I'm hoping this will make me brave enough to shake things up even more!
Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial. You explained your process so it is very easy to understand. I’m looking forward to adding a sunken waterfall to my island!
I'm redesigning my layout and I've decided I'm going to put one of these next to my Museum. I think it would be gorgeous with a little flower garden and park nearby. Thank you for the tutorial!
Can I have the dream address please? Also I think I talked to you before. Are you on Instagram? I found a lot of pics on your page and i dmed you asking to teraform for me lol. If your the same person.
Just got my terraforming tool and making a sunken waterfall. Best tool is that need ladder. Saves so much for no incline and best yet i have it at my hidden beach for easy access and a scenic point. That ladder simply helped so much since an incline took space needed
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I couldn't get it all to work myself but now I've managed to make one (although it took me so long haha)! Now I'm confident I can follow your instructions I'm going to change some things around to make it a bit more my own! :)
tip: if theres a weed ontop of a cliff you wanna destroy dont worry the weed wont prevent u from destroying it u just break the cliff and it dissapears with the cliff
same with holes that have been dug on top of the cliffs. you can destroy cliffs with holes on them lol. i wish i had known that when i first got terraforming
I tore down half of my island and will finish either tonight or tomorrow. I determined to have an island like yours 😭 I shall be binge watching your videos
Most helpful video ive found explaining the process for making a sunken waterfall. Last time i tried to do it following a picture my two brain cells couldnt do it. Thank you so much! 🥰 - a new subscriber
I'm currently attempting something similar to this, but instead of a house, im going for the museum... this is my first ever animal crossing game, and I'm really enjoying it and watching all these great videos
Just watched because I just purchased my Switch and AC game about 2 weeks ago. Already addicted!!!! How did you move your home to another spot? How did ya get the ladder? I just figured out how to get the balloon down with the slingshot! You are really really good☺️
in terms of clearing away lots of cliff- when you take a corner out break the next block beside the rounded edge and it will prevent you from having to dig it twice (i know this makes no sense but it helps when you just have to clear out one line 😭)
Brilliant tutorial video well put together thank you for helping me a beginner. I'm not up to terraforming yet im up to the campsite construction but thanks to you I'm in the know how. I started playing may 2021
Ooooooh! This is so cool. I'm still paying off my loans but this gives me an idea for the future. Maybe put the museum in a corner of a sunken valley with the sunken waterfall surrounding it on both sides... It's probably gonna take a while XD
if i wanted to make another island would i have to get a whole new switch and a new game chip? i share a switch with my family so everyone does their own thing on the island and do things that someone else might not like so i so badly want to have my own island ive been trying my hardest to save for my own switch and game chip... that was a weird rant but anyways main question do i need a new switch to make a new island, or will i have to delete the existing island...?
Love it! I’ve been playing for three weeks, I think? I haven’t even unlocked tara forming . How much do you play? You do such a great job with your islands and videos! Where do you get all the custom designs? I love the Daisies! My island is called Daisy Cove. Where/ how do I get Daisies? Looking forward to more videos! Thank you for sharing!
I absolutely watching your tutorial. I am pretty new to AC and very slow at progress. Just unlocked terrafoam. I am debating on paying to move my villagers houses to make it better, or just deleting the whole island and start over. Any suggestions? Ill take any advice I can get! Thank you again! This is awesome!
I made Lórien on a switch lite, and I used it for months before I decided to upgrade to the regular switch so I could make videos. There are pros and cons to each...the lite is more easily portable and also cheaper, which was a plus for me because I was in university when I bought it. The regular switch, though, has more games, is dockable so you can play on a TV, can be recorded with game capture software, and is just generally better for a serious gamer. If you plan to only play casually, I’d recommend the Lite. I love both, but prefer the regular switch myself.
@@LexPlayy wait wow i wasn’t expecting you to reply!! Thanks so much! I think i will just get the lite it’s so cute and affordable for me and i think i will just play it mainly for animal crossing! Thank you for your amazing videos showing your beautiful builds i absolutely adore them and you inspired me to get this! Thanks so much! And i’ll visit your island when i get one 😌🌱✨
Hi Lex Play i been watching you for a good minute now and enjoy your work... I do have a question how on gods green earth did you put the houses on the actual beach?
I have so much water on my island because I keep terraforming and making waterfalls I have a forested in lake I somehow made but you wanna what connects to it two waterfalls
I’ve only been playing for 32 days and have a 5* rating but didn’t watch any videos before I began playing. Now, I don’t know what will or won’t change my rating? Any suggestions would be helpful. (I have done zero terraforming) I’m scared lol.
The biggest thing that will drop it down is dropped items BUT I find dropped items are what gives it such a cozy touch. You get 15 drops and then your rating will lower. If you leave trash out, that can drop it too. So once you get enough of the lily of the valley flowers that you want (they only grow on 5-star islands), go wild. I haven't been a 5-star island in months because Isabelle is always demanding that I pick up stuff. But it sure is pretty lol!
@@books-on-a-wire Thank you so much!!! I dropped to 4* yesterday because I had been saving Sturgeon for CJ (47 to be exact) apparently they count as decor because when I sold them I had to fill in everywhere the fish were to get my 5 star rating back up. Good luck and enjoy your island 💫
I really like how you explain your idea and then show it step by step! I can never watch speed builds that have totally unrelated dialogue over top I love that you keep pace with the whole process. Will definitely be checking out more of your stuff!!
thank you for watching, I'm glad it was helpful 💙💙
I think sunken waterfalls are so much fun to make, trying to get everything to flow together is really worth the effort. Yours look absolutely perfect! 🤗✨
thank you so much 🥺
I love so much the fact that you made it on a smaller scale because I really liked the idea but I don't have space for a giant sunken waterfall!
this was literally so helpful i made my own sunken waterfall and put marshal's, kyle's, and ozzie's houses by it and a picnic area and ah i just luv it sm
I'm so happy to hear that:')

ahhh thank you 🥺💙 Glad it was helpful
I love how creative people get with the island design in this game. Very nice video!
I wasnt expecting the kid at the end saying bye, that was ADORABLE
Just did a variation of this on my island! It's my first terraforming built ever and I'm quite happy with how it turned out! Thanks for this vid :)
Moi too
This is this comforting, and relaxing. The music is what caused me to stay up past 3AM creating ideas on my island. You are a inspiration 💙
This is so helpful! I just barely got the game and this makes me so excited to terraform!

Now I want a sunken waterfall in my island so bad 😂
do it!!!
Ikr!
@@LexPlayy can u dm me on insta abbyslife i need decorating tips since i have no terraforming unlocked
@@abbygrima357 if i were u i would wait a little
You can do it! I hope you made one! 😄
Ugh yesss literally my queen I have never wanted a tutorial so bad in my life 🥺👏
Great tutorial! I’ve been trying to think of more things to fill my island with and this is such a cool idea! Definitely going to give it a go :)
Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial. You explained your process so it is very easy to understand. I’m looking forward to adding a sunken waterfall to my island!

Your speed build tutorials are so relaxing to watch.
Aaah this is perfect!! I drool over Lórien’s waterfalls every time I visit it with the DA ahah can’t wait to try this on my own island!
thank you for watching and for visiting :D

You deserve so much more hype. Oh my are these builds incredible 😍

i love waterfalls that looks like this, and i never knew how to make one until now! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😁
tip: if theres a weed ontop of a cliff you wanna destroy dont worry the weed wont prevent u from destroying it u just break the cliff and it dissapears with the cliff
I like to save the weeds for plant diys and piles of leaves HAHA
same with holes that have been dug on top of the cliffs. you can destroy cliffs with holes on them lol. i wish i had known that when i first got terraforming
You can also tear down cliffs with pathing on them, which I really appreciate!
i have never played animal crossings this is my first one and im fully enjoying your tutorial thank you for making it simple to understand 🥰
Yay I am literally watching all you vids from old to new and it’s 2021!😀
i love that the water at the bottom looks like a love heart!
I tore down half of my island and will finish either tonight or tomorrow. I determined to have an island like yours 😭 I shall be binge watching your videos
Hows the island going?
@@therockingvolbeat3630 pretty good actually! haha I end up going in all kinds of directions, but I like it and am almost done 😁 thanks for asking!
Thank you so so much!!! I found this so helpful and easy to follow. I'm remaking my island and I couldn't ask for a better tut.
Pure Fabulousness! Thank you for sharing your talents!
ahh you make it look so easy! I tried it after this and struggled tbh but your tutorial was so helpful

Thank you Lex! I'm terrible ag terraforming. Perfect tutorial!

Thanks so much for these terraforming tutorials!!
Truly loved this video! Inspired me to make one myself! 👏🏼
Nan is so so lucky omg, can I be her pls
I love the fact that I use the same method as you when destroying cliffs XD it really is less annoying and easier
Wonderful!
Cannot wait to unlock terraforming on my island :)
I LOVE this!! I'm getting ready to do my neighbourhood and this gives me some great ideas

Your way too underrated, You deserve atleast 50k-
Thank you for this! I’ve been debating getting rid of my waterfalls in my island surrounding my long bridge. But I think I’ll do this instead.
Brilliant tutorial video well put together thank you for helping me a beginner. I'm not up to terraforming yet im up to the campsite construction but thanks to you I'm in the know how. I started playing may 2021
This was a wonderful tutorial!! Thank you for sharing thjs
Ooooooh!

It's probably gonna take a while XD
This was great! You made it look so easy!
I am looking to make a cascade, similar to the one at Chatsworth House UK, although not so grand. This has given me ideas, thank you.

can't wait to see more Lex! ❤❤❤
thank you for being here :D
Great video! Waiting patiently until I can terraform
Thank you so much for this, so inspiring!
Very pretty! Love it!
I’m not great at terraforming ngl but I’m attempting to make a hiking trail on my island, so if you have any ideas I’d love to see a video on that.
Saved this for me to build for Shino
Love the music btw ❤️❤️
So beautiful!
It is the most helpful video that I watch! Tnx 😘
I love this, I'm trying it out on my island
This is very helpful! Thank you

Do you recommend getting the Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite? I don’t know which one to get but my friends telling me i should get the normal one!!

What do you guys do with the last cliff we can build (aka the one where we can't climb up and decorate) ? I never know what to do with it :(
i just don’t use it tbh…i don’t like not being able to decorate
@@LexPlayy Yeah... I feel that! I miss being able to have 3 level, it was so much better
Great tutorial, thanks!
Hi Lex Play i been watching you for a good minute now and enjoy your work... I do have a question how on gods green earth did you put the houses on the actual beach?
You can ask Tom nook to move them, and when he gives you the little kit, you can place any building on the beach as long as you have room!
I like this so cute and cool
INSPIRED 😍😍
Omg I love love love this
I love this so much! Sadly I don’t have room on my island :,)
Do you have any measurements for it like for each level there is :]
So you moved the villager house that was first on the Beach?
I’m supposed to be studying, i think i will now go and build a sunken water fall.... *IDEA*.... I will make my house like the one in Up.
I have so much water on my island because I keep terraforming and making waterfalls I have a forested in lake I somehow made but you wanna what connects to it two waterfalls
“Lex play”? LOVE the name.
