Zen Garden inspiration

[Nougat]

So i?ve cleared my zen garden space for the third time now.. I still wasn?t happy with it.
I?m looking for some zen garden inspiration now, in hopes that that way the third garden will be good enough to keep If you have any images/screenshots/town dream addresses to share.. Please do!

Thank you!

I love love love zen themed towns! I have a couple things that inspired me for my nature town that have a zen vibe to them (I think so anyways)


I think the paths are super super cute uwu

The other one I have that I love is this one which I even used for inspiration for my diagonal bridge

Thats about all I can think of right now! HOWEVER if you want me to find you some paths etc I can have a looksie for you as I know a lot of sites that are Japanese and French that I somehow found one day and have kept and have some really nice paths. ​

These are some of the images that inspired me while creating the zen portion of my town:

Zen Garden 1

Zen Garden 2

Zen Garden 3

Zen Garden 4

Zen Garden 5

Zen Garden 6

You can also feel free to visit my town if you'd like, although my DA is still set in winter. I'm hoping to update it to spring soon, but I have a lot of plot resetting tiles down right now.

Thank you for the inspiration! Those do look really nice. I love the one with the diagonal bridge too! I should see if I have enough path spots open to make the tiling with the stairs work.. I have a few Japanese websites saved as well, if I don't find what I need I'll let you know!

Thank you! Those images are helpful indeed I'll give your DA a visit too! I totally understand your pain about the plot resetting tiles, I have them up too (and still I managed to forget a spot and have Marina move in in a bad spot )

Call me silly for not knowing, but what do you mean by plot resetting tiles?

Basically when you're still having villagers move in & out, you put tiles on the spaces where you don't want them to move onto. That way, you can pretty much decide exactly where they are putting their house! That's how some players have their villager's houses lined up perfectly, without doing any hacking.

The plot resetting part is that when you know someone's moving in, you start up a new Save File in your town. That way you can look around your town to check whether they moved into a spot you like (which should be easy when you have your tiles spread around town to reduce the spots they can actually move into. When they move into a bad spot, just turn off your DS and start this process again. When they have arrived in a good spot, you can finish creating the new Save File until you can save. Then, just delete the new Save File and start up your game like normal again!

I hope that made sense

Oh wow! So they can't move onto patterns anymore?

yup! with the welcome amiibo update, villagers cannot move onto patterns B) paths will remain protected!!

Oooh thank you for this thread! Been trying to find some inspiration for my town recently, and this is what I needed I haven't been playing recently, and although I kinda want to, sometimes it's hard without and idea or a reason to play.
