Bridge Spacing?

[honeydrop]

Okay, so I kinda made a bad decision to plot reset all of my villagers before setting up all my permanent bridges, and now I am a little concerned that I won't have enough room to rebuild one of my bridges. I want a brick bridge exactly where my suspension one is and I am a little worried Whitney's house is too close? I've heard Isabelle is pretty picky about where you can put the bridges and I kinda need advice before I destroy the first bridge. Any help is appreciated!

i think you'd be able to place your brick bridge where your suspension bridge is! just keep moving around isabelle in a certain area until you're satisfied with your placement~ and from the looks of it, it shouldn't be too close to whitney's house! usually when i had that problem, i'd keep moving around until isabelle said yes and it looked nice and yadda yadda. c: also, don't be on the side where whitney lives to ask isabelle to place the bridge down! that usually did the trick when i had to do the same thing for my town~ gah, i hoped i helped a little bit? sometimes i don't explain things very well.. and sorry if i didnt!

Sad to say, the Isabelle is VERY picky about placement of anything, and bridges are a definite yes. Judging from the location of Whitney's house, I wouldn't be surprised if she told you that it was too close to build a bridge. Overall, I think it should be possible to build a bridge there. I'd try on the side where the house is instead of the other side. If that space doesn't work out, you might have to find an area of river father from Whitney's house or place the bridge in a totally different location. Hope things work out!

Don't worry, I understood what you meant! Thanks for the advice! c: Hopefully it'll work, I've never tried it from the other side of the bridge so maybe that's what I've been doing wrong the entire time hahah.

Thanks for the reply! Hopefully you're both right on trying on the other side of the river. I think I'll go ahead and try it and see how it works! It sucks how picky Isabelle is on these sort of things lol.

Sadly, there's a lot of varying information on this. The smallest amount reported was 8x2, while the most was 12x4 (this is just the area needed at the bottom of each bridge, length by width.) The most common space people have reported needed was 8x4. To be honest, 12 sounds ridiculous, so I'd consider that 8x4 space just to be safe. If it's bigger than what's needed, fantastic, room to spare. Always err on the safe side when it comes to bridges, unless you have room to move it elsewhere/cycle villagers if needed. So many horror stories.

It *should* work, but I did once have Isabelle mess up my bridge placement for being about that far away from the campsite, though the campsite was one space closer horizontally it was two spaces farther vertically (if that makes sense). Best of luck!
