I'm just a ghost.
So I've been restarting my 2nd island recently and I found some secret ways to get a 5 star rating. This is stuff that many people would know but others may not know, but I am going to give tips on what you can do to get a 5 star rating the first time after restarting your island:
You can just have only 8 villagers living on your island;
This one surprised me because I always though you needed to have 10 villagers living on your island to boost your rating well that is technically true its not really. You see if you try to have only 6 or 7 villagers and you go talk to Isabelle she will call you out and telling you to invite more villagers. Like my island was at a "1 star rating" despite the fact that I decorated my island with a lot of flowers, fencing, and furniture items she is upset because I haven't invited any villagers (pretty strict if you ask me). So yeah having 8 villagers is enough to boost your rating at least to a 3 star to invite KK or when you fully decorated the island you should get a 5 star.
Have variety of trees planted (Saplings, Cedar Saplings, and Fruit Trees) and plant A LOT of flowers:
Now this one can be tricky, but basically if you don't have enough trees planted on your island Isabelle will call you out saying that the " Landscape has potential" it means that you need to have variety of trees planted (Saplings, Cedar Saplings, Fruit Trees) and a lot and I mean A LOT of flowers planted on the island. This one is hardest one because you really need to plant so many flowers just so that Isabelle is more satisficed and the rating should go up. I always find this one odd because she does call you out on having "Too many trees" yet when you have so many flowers she doesn't really care at all.
Decorate your entire island with Furniture items:
I see people struggle with this one so I will do my best to explain this one. So if you talk to Isabelle she will mention that the island is "Lacking appealing scenery" it means that you don't have enough furniture decorated your island and you don't have enough fencing. Do this make sure you put a lot of furniture all over the island and have more fencing usually I just use fences to make big gardens. I also recommend the furniture to use more often are Floor Lights, Streetlamps, and Garden Lanterns just to name a few that can be helpful for your island.
So yeah thats the tips I can say to get a 5 star rating on the first try after restarting your island. It is confusing sometimes and just thought I would clear this up for when Isabelle is a bit harsh on your rating so I hope this helps out.
