I believe that after many Animal Crossing: New Horizons players have spent a lot of time and energy to start an island that is completely their own, they have the urge to change everything and start from scratch.

But completely resetting the game is very costly, players will completely lose their previous items. I’ll give you some helpful advice on where to start and how to do it.

Clean Up The Island

The island is always messy and difficult to take care of at the beginning. But players have to clear out all the space, which will help you have more space to design, and also facilitate foreign players to visit your island.

First of all, the player still needs to move all the buildings and other items to the beach, so that you can understand the terrain changes of your island and the design space available to the greatest extent. Players should be patient when cleaning up the space. You must spend more time planning carefully, which will help you in the subsequent space planning.

Storage Items

Fortunately, some items on the island are easier to move than buildings. Players can store these items in their rooms for emergencies. However, due to the influx of items into the room, the storable space in the room may fill up very quickly.

Of course, if you are using patch 1.6 or higher. You can chat with Tom Nook. This will help you increase storage space from 1600 to 2400. Especially important for those players who like to collect furniture or clothing.

Handling Flowers

Some players may have collected a lot of beautiful flowers while decorating the island, especially rare hybrid flowers of some special varieties.

However, there is no way to store these flowers for a long time, and there is almost no good way to deal with them other than trading them for Animal Crossing: New Horizons Items. So the existence of these flowers also troubled many players. There will be two solutions here.

First, players can plant flowers in the sand. Because they don’t grow on sand at all. However, it should be noted that if you are clearing the island at this time, the beach is full of buildings, then you will not be able to use this method.

The second way is to ask a friend for help. You can keep these flowers in their islands until you are completely ready to start over. Although there are some troubles in moving it back and forth, in the long run, this is a way to get the best of both worlds.

Find Inspiration

If you already have an idea for your new island, or want to get your hands dirty first. Regardless, I would recommend spending some time planning out what items to fill your island with, including decorations, plants, buildings, etc.

You can also get inspiration by visiting some other player’s islands in Dream Suite, or in existing islands in other worlds. You have to believe that your possibilities are endless. Don’t worry, with a lot of time, you will definitely be able to create your own island.

Pre-plan Location

Whether you’re after an extreme sense of regular symmetry, or you prefer a looser, more natural feel, it’s important to keep everything in place. There are also some special terrain and changes in the position of water areas, which will make the overall planning more difficult. Because the existence of these terrains and water bodies usually have certain restrictions on the planning of buildings and objects.

In fact, there is still a tool here that can help you customize the placement path of buildings and plants, which can help you not make any mistakes or run out of space during the placement process.

Practice Terraforming

Novice players may struggle to recreate the terrain, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a breeze. Also, mastering the ability to terraform will go a long way in helping you create twin waterfalls, and even create a whole new world with endless possibilities.

One thing to note is that you need to be aware of the water conditions on your island. This will determine what kind of fish you can catch. If you want to tune in to every fish, be sure to include the location of these water bodies in your planning premise.

Preserve A Gathering Place For Villagers

Of course, don’t forget to leave a place as a gathering point for villagers. At least in the long run, it’s a good idea. Players can gather in front of Town Hall Square. Don’t forget to plan ahead on specific locations if you want villagers to trade items again.

You can also create a new cafe or restaurant on your island, but if it doesn’t attract villagers, it’s probably not a good idea either. Of course, you can also use AI to attract villagers to visit. Villagers tend to prefer areas with a clear view. You can also place more benches around to make it easier for villagers to stay.

Based On One’s Own Will

In fact, island ratings really mean little to your overall gameplay, and there’s no need for island ratings to hinder you from creating your favorite islands. Especially in games where you forget about all constraints and create an island that you really love.

Players can choose the life they want in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Every game player can get new inspiration for decoration. Players can’t always get what they want in life, but in Animal Crossing they can. This is why it is so special in the hearts of players. Creating a warm and friendly community, having a unique world, it must be very good.
