Do you ever get inspiration from other people islands?

[Pate and Ketchup]

Yes, I get inspiration from other players' islands. Firstly for the pleasure of the eyes. There are people with incredible ideas! I really admire them. And because I don't really have any inspiration. I know where I want to direct my island but I won't get there without spending my time on tumblr or pinterest to name just these two sites. I visited an amazing island one day called Moondrop, I don't know if it still exists, but wow.

Yes, I do get inspiration from other people's islands too! Terraforming can be a bit challenging for me as well, so I often watch speed builds and tours to get ideas for my own island. It's amazing how creative and talented the Animal Crossing community is, and it's a great way to learn new techniques and design concepts for my own island.

Not really, no. I never use the Dream Suite so I don't routinely see other people's islands, and the only people whose islands I visit are people who sell items here in the Nook's Cranny section of the forums here. I just kind of do my own thing with my island. It also doesn't help that I prefer a more natural island, whereas a lot of people use paths and streets and such, so I don't even know what sort of inspiration I'd get. There probably are some islands out there more up my alley, but I don't go out of my way to seek them out.

I mostly did my own thing with each area.

But I got a ton of inspiration from this one Disney themed Island, in terms of layout. that a YouTuber did a tour of.

Other then that its my own little mess.

All the time, but I like how my island is nice and simple. I don't wish to change it much.

No. I prefer to do things my own way. I hate having to copy other people and I am also sticking with a style that I enjoy that is for me.

I definitely do, especially for interior decoration as I'm HORRIBLE at it
If it were entirely based on my ideas alone it'd just be basic furniture like beds and closets in all 4 corners and a big empty space in the middle taunting me

I’ve been getting better at decorating interiors by myself, though sometimes I do look up inspiration pictures on Pinterest just to see how creative people can get. Many have used custom designs in their work, and I do so occasionally as well, though I’m very limited on space due to me using a bunch of designs outside.

Speaking of outdoors, I tend to follow said Pinterest pictures quite a bit when it comes to that. On my backup island, Parkwood, the shops & museum layout is heavily based on someone else’s Pinterest idea. I’ve tried to replicate that layout myself to the best of my ability, and I think I did a decent job.

There’s other ideas I want to try myself, though I gotta figure out how to flow an area to others properly. That will take quite a bit of time and thinking; maybe during my next extended time off period from work I’ll piece it all together.

Oh yes. The ideas for doing a rock garden were very interesting and helpful for me to fix up my rocks.

Constantly, i usually i go island dreaming a couple of times a week and see what people do. Although in my island i can currently only do decorative changes now since the main layout is already done and i am happy with it

No. I prefer to do things my own way. I hate having to copy other people and I am also sticking with a style that I enjoy that is for me.

I take it back sometimes whenever I am struggling with ideas, but I try my best not to make it a carbon copy.
