Who else has there airport and residents service one block off from being perfectly aligned & what have you done to solve the problem?

[Lotusblossom]

This seems to be somthing the makers of this game have thrown at a lot of people and it seems to make people come up with some pretty interesting ideas to fix the problem...

I ended up completely separating them. So I have an airport area then you have to go around past Nook's to get to resident services. There's a small park in between.

Ah, this is so cute! It looks so good

I haven't figured out what I am going to do. I only have about six tiles between my airport and resident services.

I have seen some people place a bench nearby the airport entrance to make it seem natural that it isn't completely aligned with one another.
A welcoming bench. and path around it.

Ah, thanks for the advice! This is super helpful

tbh i just reset my island LOL but that was before i had creative thoughts and when the game first released. my new island has that issue now, but my terraforming plans have me making a winding path up to my residence services thru cliffs so it'll be fine.

I quoted wrong. Hopefully this will merge.

Edit- Ah, sorry! I am bad at this. Real reply in my post above.

I too am thinking of making kindve a winding path using lots of designs the only problem is I will have to use atleast 50 design pallets for my idea... which i just started.. when it is completed I may share it but for now it's still just an idea.. it will take a lot of work.. it seems like having this problem really makes for some creative ideas atleast! It definetely forced me to he more creative than I would have if it were perfectly aligned... because while I did have the opportunity to reset I had a whole another switch lite.. I honestly just couldnt do it I am attached to my island now and seeing timmy and tommy do that beginning thing over and over again is really torture.. sure it wouldve been easier if it was aligned...more care free. I haven't even been able to play because I feel like I have too much too do and it's too time consuming because I'm really busy in the garden right now so I ended up returning the other switch after only resetting like 50 times and not finding an island that was perfectly lined up and how I wanted it.. my only concern about about winding path design is the feng shui... I'm kinda worried I'm gonna reset still.... but not only because of that but also because my dock is short and who knows what's gonna happen with that in a future update..

im sorry for deleting a lot of ur reply (i read the whole thing dw <3) but these r the 3 main points i wanted to reply to!!

- there's recently been this amazing path design going around on twitter and stuff and while i havent had the chance to use it in game myself, ive seen screenshots of it and im deceased it's so pretty. it's a natural path that calls back to previous animal crossing games when grass deterioration was a thing, and it only takes like 9 slots. heres the link if u wanna try it out!!
- i feel like the path ive linked will help with that? idk, the way ive seen ppl use it on tumblr and on streams and stuff have all been effortlessly pretty imo
- tbh once ive found that i lowkey want to reset i just cant get the idea out of my mind. i feel like if the issue is just one i cannot resolve no matter how hard i try it's better to just start over, but since ur only issue is ur resident services closeness to the airport i feel like u still have a fighting chance!! even if u do reset u now know what u absolutely must have in order to be satisfied with the unchangeable things of ur island, which isnt bad! but i would still keep trying.

I have/had the same issue. I've decided that I'm going to make them distinct areas rather than appearing connected.

 

[Rokushi]

I have the same problem (except it's 2 squares off) and I still haven't managed to find a solution that looks good.

 

[Cnydaquil]

i dont but this seems like a huge problem

 

[lPeachy]

I don’t personally but this is a fun lil way I’ve seen really close&off-set RS dealt with!

 

[Pokeking]

I like my two tile wide streets. I see no problem with the airport in relation to the Resident Services. I do have a problem with a pond nearby as my path next to it is one tile wide. I want to move it one tile west, but I'm concerned that I won't be able to make it look like it was.

 

[Katzenjammer]

I had this exact issue too or very close to it and got some good ideas for rough layouts from a video on youtube which I'm not sure I'm allowed to link to here, so if you'd like to watch it I'd be more than happy to PM it to you or you can just look up Sera island as that's the name of the island and it was another ACNH player doing an island tour... Good luck! I can't wait to see what you come up with! I'm still working on mine lol!

 

[Imbri]

Mine is actually several tiles off, so I was able to place Nook's Cranny next to RS, directly opposite the airport ramp. Lucked out, I guess.

 

[Koi Fishe]

Mine is pretty badly off, not just 1 tile. It doesn't even bother me that much. I just kind of got used to it??

 

[AntiJupiter]

Yes, mine's one block off and it annoys me so much!

 

[Yuni]

Ah, it's hard to explain and describe but i made some kind of wavy path to it and it's not as noticeable because of all of the distraction.

Linking vid to show what i did

Glad I don't have this map, because that would annoy me!
