Since a lot of people have been living on their island for six months, I'm making a series of polls to see how many are still satisfied with their island! I will be covering things that cannot be changed unless you reset the game. Here is a short analysis of the results so far:

Blue seems to be the most popular airport color, with red being the least. An overwhelming majority of voters consider themselves satisfied with their airport color. Overall, people with yellow airports are more likely to want to change their color than those who have another color. Let's hope Tom Nook eventually gives us other options, like pink, purple or brown!

Few voters have south & west river mouths, but those people seem to be the most satisfied with their river placement. The most popular river mouth position seems to be south & east. Overall, people with double south river are more likely to want to change to another layout, but then, most people are satisfied with their river mouths and have learned to work around them.

Peaches seem to be the most popular native fruit, with oranges and cherries following closely behind. Apples are also fairly popular, while pears retain their reputation as one of the least appreciated fruit. As a matter of fact, nearly half of voters who have pear as their native fruit would rather change it, while those who have other fruits seem to be mostly happy with them.

Most voters would change at least one of their initial flowers. Overall, people are usually more satisfied with their native flower than their sister flower. Sister flowers, which are based on starting month, do not see much diversity, since most people started playing in either march or april. Native flowers, which are based on the resident representative's birth month, have more variety.

Most have made peace with the location of their main buildings. Among those who would like to option move them, Resident Services seems to be the biggest priority. A good number of people reported that their Airport is almost aligned with Resident Services, but not quite. Being able to move either building one or two space would solve the problem for many.

Perfectly centered secret beaches are by far the most common among voters, but they are also one of the most controversial. While people are usually happy with their secret beach, and have learned to work around its location (and size), those who have it at the far left or exact center of their map tend to want to move it. It is interesting to note that while center left and center right seem to be equally popular, there is a big difference between far left and far right, the latter being considerably more popular.

Next up is peninsula!
The peninsula is the piece of land that stretches out from your island into the surrounding sea. It is a popular spot for lighthouses, and some people have made really nice designs with it! Have you decorated your peninsula, or even placed a building on it? Do you like where it is located? I'd love to see what you've done with yours!
Before answering, however, take a look at the following pictures and try to figure out which peninsula most resembles yours. Since I could not find any information on this, I've looked at dozens of maps and identified what I think are five possible shapes of peninsula. There seems to be slight variations in orientation, but otherwise, I think there are five different models you can have (let me know if you find another one!)
![]() | Big Round Peninsula This peninsula is the largest of all. It is shaped like a big, wide circle. |
![]() | Small Round Peninsula While smaller than the big round peninsula, this one is still very round. |
![]() | Wavy Peninsula Its base is very wide, but gets thinner as it stretches out toward the sea. Its contours are wavy, and you can almost picture a dog head. |
![]() | Straight Bottom Peninsula The bottom line of this peninsula is almost perfectly straight and horizontal. While it has a similar shape to the round penisulas, its end is more like a square. |
![]() | Straight Top Peninsula The top line of this peninsula is almost perfectly straight and horizontal. Overall, it looks like some kind of trapezoid. |
As for me, I actually resetted to get the big round peninsula, which I think has the most potential. The fact that you have more room to decorate and can even place buildings on it made it an easy choice for me. I haven't gotten around to decorating it yet, but I know this is where my lighthouse will go.
What about you?
